Monday Evening Thread of the Opening

by Alxala

Last night my family and I went out on a short road trip together to go get some jam and some fast food to chow down on, and it was an excellent trip but unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures from my camera because the sky was starting to get too dark too early and I don’t want to take pictures when it’s dark out.

I’m too tired to think of anything else to post for today other than our nice family road trip that we had yesterday, so feel free to deploy any mouthwords in this thread that has declared open.

First Open Thread of the Month: Road Trip Edition

by Alxala

My family and I went out on a trip to California to obtain some free meat and hot dogs from a local restaurant to chow down on then head straight back home afterwards. We even got our drinks to go along with our road trip dinner. So either way, our trip went smoothly and our family van has almost reached 130,000 miles. 🙂

Open Thread.

Our Family Road Trip Has Begun!

by Alxala

My family and I will be taking off at 7 o’ clock in the morning to go on a very long road trip once everyone is ready and got anything that we need packed up and ready to go on our trip, and I’m going to be away from my lair for a while until I come back if everything goes well as planned.

So until then, I shall return, my fellow Slackers…

Sunday House Cleaning Open Thread

by Alxala

My family and I were doing some extreme house cleaning this evening because we wanted our house to be really tidy so that the inside of our house doesn’t look too messy when we get back from our road trip. I’ve been cleaning up the kitchen floor, plus I brushed the carpets in the upstairs hallway and my bedroom.

I think I’ll focus on brushing the carpets in our living room tomorrow so that Papa Smurf can hit them with the vacuum. So right now I still got laundry that needed to be caught up once I’ve done all my fun stuff. Oh, and speaking of laundry, I should consider washing my bedding tomorrow because I don’t want dirty smelly bedding before I leave on our road trip with my family.

Family Road Trip Open Thread

Yesterday my family and I went out on a family road trip to go visit our two friendly elderly cousins who live up in Portland for about 27 years, and we totally lucked out by helping them get us a ‘new’ car that we’re looking for because the first two tries on getting it didn’t go well as planned. Anyway, after we got done chatting over at our cousins’ house we went into a restaurant called The Old Spaghetti Factory for my sister Tomala’s birthday, and we chowed down on some delicious food like toasty cheesy ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, etc. We also ordered some good cocktail drinks like the White Russian and the Fruit Punch, plus we had some ice cream and spumoni for dessert after we finished our nice family dinner. 🙂

Then the next day we all went to an IHOP restaurant to have some breakfast earlier this morning. We had some delicious pancakes like the original Buttermilk pancake and the Chocolaty Chocolate Chip pancake which is what I ordered, some eggs, hash browns, bacon and sausages. After we got out of the IHOP restaurant and said goodbye to our cousins we drove all the way home so that we can plan on getting rid of our classic Oldsmobile by sending it to a local car dump.

So yeah, it sure was nice seeing our beloved cousins. Can’t wait to go visit them again someday now that we got a brand new transportation. 🙂

Tuesday Road Trip Open Thread

by Alxala

Today was a nice day. My family and I went out on another Coos Bay road trip to go grab some clam chowder, fish and chips at a restaurant called The Crazy Norwegian. That stuff is extremely finger-licking delicious. 🙂 Oh, while we were heading back to our homestead, we pulled over and I got out my camcorder and took nice pictures of a great sunset at the beach and a boat out on the water:

So anyways, our really long road trip went well as always. 😀
