DDA Chapter 4

[bear74]

This thread is a continuation of the DDA Trouble Free Zone and DDA Chapter 3.

DDA originally stood for Disney Design Addicts as most of the posters were addicted to making t-shirt designs. Those designers are still here and many many more people have joined our friendly community. We think that DDA still fits whether you be a Disney Design Addict, Dear Disney Addict, Disney Dream-aholics, Disney Dream Addicts or whatever other acronymn you'd like to throw in there.

Welcome to all the returning posters and welcome to any newcomers that might like to chat about design and all things Disney.

Copied from Deb because she worded it so well.

I helped close the last thread and I'm off to bed! Sorry to the late posters and early morning posters but Jennifer & I had fun!

Olivia, I loved the smilies!

[Blueeyes101817]

I caught up from our last "home" before irealized the page number..so here is my additions :)
Debbie - That is a terrible situation! I hope they can get something figured out quickly! I will keep your family in my thoughts! :wizard:
Debbie-your family is in m ythoughts and prayers

32 pairs of shorts?! :scared1: I think I have 4, maybe 6.

i think i might have 4!

Jen, I loved the blog and info on the "twins". I'm so excited for you two. Continue to demand the care you need and deserve! You are your best advocate. I can't wait to hear about the sex of our two new DDA babies when you are ready to tell us. :cloud9: :love:

me too! im going to go with a 2 girls

Becky just told me that her boyfriend may have to go back to Iraq. He'll know tomorrow. He will be the first person that I know personally that is over there. I've had relatives and friends of my friends and my kids over there but no one I knew personally.

ETA: I just realized I forgot about one of my coworkers that went over there in the fall. She and I don't work closely together but she is on the project I'm on from a different division.

im sorry to hear that--im sure its going to be a long wait for them to find out tomororw---ill keep him in my prayers

[Blueeyes101817]

i think im headed to bed---i babysit til 1130 and then went out for a couple drinks with our friends from massachusetts..apparently they are coming over for breakfast at 9am so im going to get a lovely wake up call im sure!2

have agood night all

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Alright, I've got to run. The dr is calling in the new scrip, but the pharmacy closes at 6 so I've got to get there. Catch you soon.

Good luck with the meds!

Chuck just reminded me that we don't live in a warm climate which would be one of the reasons I don't need as many shorts as Elizabeth. Though, I don't think I have but 15-20 pairs of pants/jeans either. :lmao: Elizabeth, not only do you pack too much but you have too much! :rotfl:

FIRST of all, I have a job where I can wear shorts every day. I don't have separate work and casual attire - they are the same thing! I don't have any slacks, and I only have about 8 pairs of jeans. And I live in a warm climate. And I can't pass up a pair of shorts on clearance. And lastly there
is NO SUCH THING as having too many clothes! ;)

I just spoke to my sister-she invited us to a birthday party at ChuckECheese. We've never been to one. The kids should have fun.

She told me I sound so old.:sick:

Joe's got the cold now too and had the hives this afternoon. He hadn't eaten anything he hadn't had before so I think it must have been a viral thing. We gave him some Benedryl and it cleared up really quickly. He's cranky though-he must not feel well.

DS has had several CEC parties. They are loud, crowded, and expensive and the kids love every minute!
I hope Joe feels better soon! And you, too! Youshould be getting better by now!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is on TV right now! New version for those that haven't seen it... (which is probably just me and Bob...

I hadn't ever seen the whole thing. I did watch it tonight. :)

Denise - those are some pictures of you and the figs! Love the new hair too!!

Denise, I loved all the pics, old and new! :goodvibes Your hair looks great!

How can one accumulate 32 pairs of shorts!? :eek: ;)

I am gooooood at shopping! :rotfl2:

Elizabeth! Here is an article that will end the discussion of how to get all 32 pairs of shorts to WDW!!

http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_a/cant-travel-light-ship-dont-schlep/20080207103809990001

The thing about shipping them back and forth is that I worry about them getting misplaced by the hotel. And some of the hotels are starting to charge "storage" fees for boxes that arrive before you do. And shipping them home would be a pain because nobody is home during the day. I would have to have them shipped to work, then load them in the car and bring them home. But I will take this under advisement.

Maybe the rental car companies haven't gotten the memo that the economy is slowing, and they might need to be enticing people to rent a car!

That is just too sad, Jennifer. I can't believe she would treat her sons so differently!

:wizard: :wizard: for your mom, and that you guys don't catch it!

Elin, good luck with the car rates!

Jennifer, that girl needs to be slapped. I hope your sweet little nephew is doing OK!

Yeah, I had to figure it out earlier too. Terra and I stayed at the old Grosvenor for a night or two when we went for her 3rd birthday. From the site, it looks like they've totally redone the place. It was pretty nice when we were there, though our room was due for a little updating. We could walk to the Marketplace in under 5 minutes. I found that a lot easier than taking the DTD buses most days.

Is THAT what that hotel is? I remember hearing that the Grosvenor was doing a major remodel but I didn't know the name was changing.

That is really too bad. I hate to see siblings treated so inconsistently, but it's got to be harder when there are multiple families involved. Thankfully, DNephew has you guys to show him what a loving family really is. :love:

I agree!


You people were WAAAYY too chatty while I was gone! I never did have dinner so I am going to have a bowl of cereal and go to bed!

[KristineN]

Off to the "world"

4am sure comes early!! It only 1 degree...and very windy...so far the plane is on time...cross your fingers.

Taking the laptop for work....so I will check in later.

Take care!!

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

(thought I would post here too in case the other thread is locked in the near future)

[PNO4TE]

Kristine - I hope the flight was fine. Enjoy the warmth of FL and WDW!

[Tammi67]

Good morning! :)

[Tammi67]

I know I missed you Kristine, but I hope you and Bill have a wonderful time!

[tink2020]

Hello ladies! I posted there, now we're here.... Who knows! I assumed the DIS would get software like another board I've visited where the threads are locked and transferred automatically, including your subscriptions. Maybe eventually? :confused3

Hope you all are doing well! After several mild days (mid-40's) we're back down to windchills of single digits or below zero. Boo!

[Pooh67_68]

I think our old thread will be unlocked for a while, we seem to fly under the radar over here.

[Pooh67_68]

Well we were suposed to go out today, but we got thunder snow last night and it is still snowing. It snowed almost all day yesterday also, but it has not amounted to much.

[Pooh67_68]

Morning. :hug:

[tink2020]

So, unlike my SIL with whom I ate lunch yesterday, ultrasound pictures won't "creep [any of]you out" will they?! :rotfl:

Nah. I'm tough. Bring 'em on!

[tink2020]

First, a shot that won't appear on my blog or anywhere else. It's a photo taken on a high power microscope, not an ultrasound. But it goes with the theme ;) VERY few people have seen this (maybe nobody I know IRL?) because most people were not filled in on the whole process.

This was taken at literally 72 hours of existence. These blobs are my babies, when they had only about 8-10 cells! The whole thing just blows me away....

Jennifer your pictures give me such a warm, fuzzy feeling inside :goodvibes

I did find out a couple of weeks ago that we will have a girl in our family come June princess: My nephews girlfriend(might as well say wife)had another ultrasound & they were finally able to tell the sex. Sil & myself are so excited, I can't wait to start buying little girl's outfits!

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Jennifer, those are awesome pics. :goodvibes

I don't understand the gross out part. :confused3 Most people couldn't tell what they were looking at in the first place when we showed off the girl's.

I think the microscope pic is really interesting. How cool to have them on film at such a young age!

Eh, who knows. My SIL is quite strange..... :rolleyes: I thought it was maybe just an 'over lunch' thing, so I waited until after. Nope! She thinks it's too "alien". This coming from the girl who, while a very bright civil engineer, says she wants to get a puppy, but not one that poops. :confused:

Thanks for letting me post! Scanning those pics has been on my list of things to do for about 12 weeks now, so I'm glad it's finally done. I'll have more in about 10 days if you're interested ;)

I'm off to church! Have a great afternoon, DDA!

[tinknme]

I don't see that happening :lmao:

I saw it! Mine is very similar, very intelligent but no common sense. It's frustrating to hold a conversation with her.

My sil is wonderful, I am happy to have the exception(this is Gary's brothers wife, my brothers wife, well she is part of the most of lol).

And thank for the comments on Emma. Her hair is still straight, much to her dismay.

Lucky you! I would love to have relationship with her but I can bearly tolerate her.

Mil was actually a little disappointed when she found out, but she will come around :goodvibes

Nice pics Jen!:goodvibes

Well, I'm going to dust myself off and try the crock pot chicken again. This time I'll be home and if it starts to overcook, I'll be here. I think it will taste great.:cool1:

My face is swollen, my sinus is infected again. Didn't I just go through this??:sick:

My DD and I are scrapbooking. We finished the room and it works great. The new washer is much quieter than the old one.

Well, I hear plates, so I guess she's finished making breakfast. Gotta go..

Have a great week DDA!

I could use a puppy like that! Let me know how that works for her, OK?
Those pics are pretty nifty! Our ultrasound was blurry - we have it on tape. There are some really clear images of DS's spine, his face, etc. but the parts that aren't skeletal are very vague. :rotfl2:

Robyn - Sorry you have grouchy housemates! Maybe Emma should go wash her hair so the curls will come back. Of course if she is really grouchy she will find something else to grouch about once the curls are restored.:rolleyes1

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

My mother's side of the family is all girls. My grandma had 3 DDs, and all 3 of them each had 3 DDs, so I am one of 9 granddaughters. The first great-grandchild was a girl, but it has evened out some now. Well, there are 8 girls and 4 boys, so I guess it's not really even.

[tinknme]

Stephanie sorry to hear your sinuses are bothering you again. Good luck with the chicken, I know it will turn out perfect this time!

I have stew meat in the crockpot right now. I am making vegetable beef soup. Perfect for this cold day!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Stephanie - Best of luck in your culinary endeavors for the day! :wizard:

I need to go to the grocery store. :rolleyes: I didn't go last week because I didn't want to fight the Super Bowl crowds. DH annoyed me down to my last nerve ALL WEEK because there wasn't anything to cook for dinner. Hello? He was OFF Tuesday and Wednesday! He's a CHIP MAN, certainly he can find a GROCERY STORE!:mad:
DS and I are engaged in an ongoing battle about bread. I only want him to eat wheat, he only wants to eat white. So to avoid eating wheat bread yesterday he made his sandwich on a stale hamburger bun. :rolleyes: I swear between the 2 of them I am going to be ready for a padded room before long.

[tinknme]

I finally got everyone to start eating wheat bread. I was buying a loaf of each, but now only get the wheat. They learned to like it ;) Good luck with converting ds!

Have you found the whole grain white bread? That's what we have around here.

Vicki. Today is JcPenney's friends and family sale. Take an extra 20% off. I know that they had a bunch of formal gowns already on clearance so you could probably pick something up for as cheap as a thrift store. I'll forward you the email with the coupon. If anyone else needs it PM me. I'll be home for about an hour then back later.

[tinknme]

I got the email for that & was considering going today. Instead we went yesterday & I used the $10 off $50 coupon. I spent $48 & saved almost $150 :cool1:

We also went to Bergners & Riley did really well with his choices. He got a hoodie & 5 shirts & I only paid a little over $30, I love sales!

Amazing. I think you missed a few though. I didn't see any where we might be able to detect the sex without you specifically telling us :rolleyes1 :rotfl:

I actually emailed it to the DDA list. It is good online as well as instore. Just disregard it if you don't need it :hug:

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Can I join you?!?

Have you found the whole grain white bread? That's what we have around here.

Yes, you may join me. :)
I do buy the whole grain white sometimes. The point is to try to cut down on high fructose corn syrup. I buy organic applesauce, juice pouches, and fruit/granola bar things because they are sweetened with sugar (or unsweetened). The Nature's Own wheat bread doesn't have corn syrup in it. Since DS eats next to nothing I want what he does eat to be at least remotely healthy.

[my3princes]

I need to get dressed and head out shopping. I want to explore JcPenney's and Kohl's and we need groceries. I plan to make sugar cookie dough and fondant when I get home. Those need to sit in the fridge before use and that way I can make cookies when I have time between now and Thursday.

I also need to pick up some crock pot items. I think I'll make a soup. I'd like to make large batches and freeze some. I have a new foodsaver, but haven't even tried it yet.

Hmm. I wonder if JCPenney has any shorts?:idea: Just kidding.;)

[Blueeyes101817]

So, unlike my SIL with whom I ate lunch yesterday, ultrasound pictures won't "creep [any of]you out" will they?! :rotfl:

of course not--i thought they were great!! cant wait to see more in 10 days :)

[Blueeyes101817]

happy sunday everyone--im planning on just searching through some time shares today--my cousin and i are going to an island this summer but not sure which one..so searching time!

then of course, its the probowl today so i get to see some of my cowboys again!

[ReAnSt]

I hope everyone is well.

I am surviving my week and weekend, it has been a bit crazy. I only went up to camp for about 12 hours yesterday and then came home, as I knew I would not sleep well at camp. I never do sleep well the first night. I had a good time, the weather was wacky. My volunteers were really trying to convince me to stay overnight. But I figured it best I come home and sleep in my own bed, as I have not slept much at this past week.

I think I am gonna take it easy today, but I should clean and do homework and some stuff for work.

There are some awesome vacation plan discussions going on here. They were actually started by my Dad and involve Disney. Let's just say I really hope they become a reality.:dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

Have a great day everyone.

[tinknme]

Sending lot's of :wizard: for the Disney planning!

Good luck with your chicken. Hope you feel better! Enjoy your day!


Thankfully, the doctor called it in with time to spare so we are good. Plus, we have a grocery pharmacy that does free prescriptions on 6 top antibiotics, so it was free. The kicker to it all...the pharmacist hands it to me saying that there are several flavors. It is pink so I assume bubble gum (the offending flavor), nope she says....strawberry banana! WHAT?!?! That is what we were trying to avoid in the first place. Argh! At least we are set now. Terra's still now a fan, but she says that it is better than the bubble gum. So, we have a chart set up and $10 in disney dollars awaiting her upon completion of the medicine.
Good luck! What flavor did she choose?

Good night all!

I am headed back to the sewing machine. I have one more thing that I wanted to get done.

I have accomplished a lot this weekend though. About 3 outfits sewn, and working on number four. This one is a Tink one, so I am hoping that the pixie dust flies as I am sewing it up!:goodvibes

Leave a forwarding address for me too please!
Would love to see photos.


Olivia is watching snow buddies. I think every time she is just about asleep she catches herself and gets up the first time was for a bed time hug, the 2nd time was to bring me something I had left in their, the next 2 times was " I'm hungry"
I am trying to make her sleep in her room. Will see if it works and how long she stays in their
Good luck! We still struggle with that.


Here's a pic of Emma from before the birthday party. Her friend's didn't realize it was her at first.

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd301/mommy2emmolu/PICT0122.jpg

I like it a lot but it's definitely not her! She has always complained that she wanted straight hair. "Why did God make me have curly hair?" Well last night after we put her to bed I heard her screaming at the top of her lungs. I go and check on her and she crying because she doesn't want straight hair, she wants her curls back! Oh the drama!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
Cute! Hope the grumpys go away soon. Hope you're not getting sick!

[lovesdumbo]

And now the "cuter" stuff
Thanks for sharing! Loved the feet ones. The microscope one was really cool.

Stephanie, feel better soon. :wizard:

[Pooh67_68]

Don't know what company it is, but they make a wheat bread that is white.


DS and I are engaged in an ongoing battle about bread. I only want him to eat wheat, he only wants to eat white.

[Tammi67]

So, unlike my SIL with whom I ate lunch yesterday, ultrasound pictures won't "creep [any of]you out" will they?! :rotfl:
Heavens no!!!!

[UP Disney]

I finally got everyone to start eating wheat bread. I was buying a loaf of each, but now only get the wheat. They learned to like it ;) Good luck with converting ds!

Becky still likes white bread too. Chuck & I eat wheat. I don't know what Katrina eats. I'd like to get Becky off the white bread because we end up throwing a lot of bread out because it goes bad before the whole loaf gets eaten. We have decided to freeze half of it when it gets bought from now on.

[Tammi67]

Jennifer - your babies are beautiful!!!!

Robyn - Emma looks great with her hair straight.

Stephanie - I hope you feel better soon!

[yellowfish78]

Stephanie - Best of luck in your culinary endeavors for the day! :wizard:

I need to go to the grocery store. :rolleyes: I didn't go last week because I didn't want to fight the Super Bowl crowds. DH annoyed me down to my last nerve ALL WEEK because there wasn't anything to cook for dinner. Hello? He was OFF Tuesday and Wednesday! He's a CHIP MAN, certainly he can find a GROCERY STORE!:mad:
DS and I are engaged in an ongoing battle about bread. I only want him to eat wheat, he only wants to eat white. So to avoid eating wheat bread yesterday he made his sandwich on a stale hamburger bun. :rolleyes: I swear between the 2 of them I am going to be ready for a padded room before long.

I :love: Wonder Bread Whole Grain White. That's all we buy anymore.

[yellowfish78]

Jennifer - the photos are so precious! The first one is awesome, that's for sure.

[Tammi67]

I'm going to have to try some of this whole grain white that you are all talking about. I can't stand wheat and only eat white.

[Tinkaroo]

Hello to everyone in our new home!

Kristine, I know I missed you, but I hope you and Bill are enjoying the warmth of FL and the magic of WDW!

Deb - thanks for the coupon!

Robyn - Emma and her hair dilemnas are making me smile. :goodvibes I guess we're never happy with what we've been given. I used to pine for curly hair when I was younger, but have come to terms with my straight hair at this point in my life. Tell her to wash those curls back into her hair!

I guess I'm weird - all this talk of white vs. wheat - I grew up eating nothing but wheat bread (that's all my mother bought). White bread grosses me out! :scared:

First, a shot that won't appear on my blog or anywhere else. It's a photo taken on a high power microscope, not an ultrasound. But it goes with the theme ;) VERY few people have seen this (maybe nobody I know IRL?) because most people were not filled in on the whole process.

This was taken at literally 72 hours of existence. These blobs are my babies, when they had only about 8-10 cells! The whole thing just blows me away....

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/kaufmaka/th_001-twinsday3.jpg

How cool is that?! I loved all the pics!

Eh, who knows. My SIL is quite strange..... :rolleyes: I thought it was maybe just an 'over lunch' thing, so I waited until after. Nope! She thinks it's too "alien". This coming from the girl who, while a very bright civil engineer, says she wants to get a puppy, but not one that poops. :confused:

Let me know how that turns out for her! :rotfl:

Nice pics Jen!:goodvibes

Well, I'm going to dust myself off and try the crock pot chicken again. This time I'll be home and if it starts to overcook, I'll be here. I think it will taste great.:cool1:

My face is swollen, my sinus is infected again. Didn't I just go through this??:sick:

My DD and I are scrapbooking. We finished the room and it works great. The new washer is much quieter than the old one.

Well, I hear plates, so I guess she's finished making breakfast. Gotta go..

Have a great week DDA!

Feel better, Stephanie!! Good luck with Round 2 with the crock pot!

I hope everyone is well.

I am surviving my week and weekend, it has been a bit crazy. I only went up to camp for about 12 hours yesterday and then came home, as I knew I would not sleep well at camp. I never do sleep well the first night. I had a good time, the weather was wacky. My volunteers were really trying to convince me to stay overnight. But I figured it best I come home and sleep in my own bed, as I have not slept much at this past week.

I think I am gonna take it easy today, but I should clean and do homework and some stuff for work.

There are some awesome vacation plan discussions going on here. They were actually started by my Dad and involve Disney. Let's just say I really hope they become a reality.:dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

Have a great day everyone.

I hope the Disney planning comes to pass, Becky!

[my3princes]

I went shopping and did find a few things. I found some solid colored shorts for Hunter and Colby :thumbsup2 I think they were on sale for about $6/pr. I also found a brown top that I came home and modified a bit for my AK shirt to match Chris. Here it is. I found the necklace and earrings too.

Here we are together.

I also found these Pirate earrings and wondered if Vicki would be interested in them. I can return them so no problem if you're not.

Not a bad day on the shopping front.

I also found a pair of black pants for work on clearance for $11 :woohoo:

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I :love: Wonder Bread Whole Grain White. That's all we buy anymore.

Dallas isn't a market for Wonder bread. I know this because one of ExMomboss's friends from CA has a DD with the worst milk allergy I have ever heard of, and Wonder bread doen't have milk in it. We don't HAVE Wonder bread around here, so when they came to visit I had the privilege of reading every freaking bread label in the store to find bread that little girl could eat! The Pepperidge Farm whole grain white has high fructose corn syrup in it, so that's out.

We went to Super Target. $200 later we are home. Now we have groceries. And detergent. And fabric softener. Not sure how I spent that much money. But I went through the receipt and it looks right. I just realized I had another $2.50 in coupons from the Target website that I forgot to use at check-out!:headache: Sort of defeats the purpose of printing them. :rolleyes: I also had a return that I managed to not bring with me, even though it was right beside my purse on the counter. I'll have to try that again later this week.

[UP Disney]

I went grocery shopping today and spent about $300. With Katrina living at home again most of the week, I can't believe how much our food bill has went up. She eats constantly. It doesn't matter how much she eats, 1/2 hour later she is hungry again. Yet, she is a size 2 (or 4).

Thanks everyone, for the comments! Kyle and I were pretty thrilled to see the babies again. I needed it, too, because I just don't enjoy being pregnant at all. At least I have a refresher of the outcome! ;) After realizing it doesn't always come easy, I'm not trying to complain about how blessed we are..... I'm just really wishing the stork would bring these babies instead, and sing Happy Birthday to them as he drops them off, and all would be great :rotfl:

[PNO4TE]

Vicki. Today is JcPenney's friends and family sale. Take an extra 20% off. I know that they had a bunch of formal gowns already on clearance so you could probably pick something up for as cheap as a thrift store. I'll forward you the email with the coupon. If anyone else needs it PM me. I'll be home for about an hour then back later.

That was so thoughtful of you to send it out to us, Deb. Thanks! :goodvibes

I am done with Round 1 of the practice recitals. :woohoo:

However, I have a nasty cold developing. :sad2: It came on very fast with a horrible sore throat and chapped lips. Very odd, but I am not at all comfy cozy right now. Talk about the grumpies taking over. That could do very easily happen to me. I need to eat some soup, put on my jammies and climb into bed with my laptop, my DDA friends and my Dining spreadsheet.

That sounds a lot like my plan for the night! Kyle is on call (this month that just means he comes home at about 11pm or so, so that's a bit better!), and I'm in a total funk both emotionally and physically, so I have been working on prying myself away from here just long enough to get together what I need. I'm thinking jammies, hot chocolate, water, and the laptop for a little DIS and shopping! :thumbsup2 I hope you can ward off this cold!

Before I heat up my soup and get into my jammies I have to tell you about my afternoon. I think I told you all that we had high wind warnings on the east coast today. Well, it WAS windy here! I was hoping one of my co-workers had gotten then chance to email me the pictures she took downtown this afternoon. You all will just have to listen to my description. Sorry...

We were judging the 2:00 recital and we heard some odd noises and saw things blowing by our window. Then we saw police cruisers and fire trucks and flashing lights and running men in uniform. The next thing we know they are opening the door to our studio to tell everyone to stay indoors but to think about moving our cars because the roof is coming off one of the downtown buildings! :eek:

I work in an historic downtown area and most of the buildings are from the 1700s and the 1800s. This particular building has a very steeply pitched roof covered in the old metal roofing. The wind had somehow gotten underneath the metal sheething and had pulled it completely away from the bricks which is what we saw blowing by our windows! It was rippling in the wind and they had blocked off our entire street. A roofing contractor and his assistant got there about 30 minutes later and were up on the roof nailing 2x6 planks all over the roof to get it to stay down. It was an amazing sight and they are a lot braver than I would have been! I will post pictures when I get them.

Weekends go so fast. Today after church I stopped and got Nicholas' hair cut. For the life of me I can't find someone that doesn't chop his hair or cut his bangs straight. I always end up redoing it. Then we came home and had lunch. Bob and Bethany came over, I took Nicholas to a friends house then went grocery shopping. We had pizza and salad for dinner. Nicholas worked some more on his science project. The bacterias are now culturing so in a day or two we should see things growing. It's not due until March 11 so if this doesn't work we should have plenty of time to redo it or come up with something else! Now we are off to read for a bit. Check ya later.

Deb, I like the new shirt with the coordinating fabric! That was a great idea.

I'm sorry you aren't enjoying being pregnant. I think I was one of the lucky few who never had a pg problem and loved every minute of it. When I hear some of the horror stories about morning sickness and such, I realize how lucky I was.

Thanks... I have had a fairly rough go so far, physically. I consider myself pretty tough, but when it's one thing after another (and I hear about people like you, and one of my good friends who never had a minute of trouble ;)) it just gets exhausting! To top it off, I've always had a lot of emotional struggles through the winter, and I think I staved them off being so busy but now that things are settling down they are kicking in (and of course it doesn't help all of the physical changes, hormones, etc added this year!). I'm hoping that if Spring ever shows up I'll be doing a bit better. I am thankful, though, that I've got the most wonderful husband I could have ever asked for. He is super supportive when I feel worthless, so at least I have someone to bounce a lot off of. :lovestruc I am a pretty lucky girl!

[Tinkaroo]

I went grocery shopping today and spent about $300. With Katrina living at home again most of the week, I can't believe how much our food bill has went up. She eats constantly. It doesn't matter how much she eats, 1/2 hour later she is hungry again. Yet, she is a size 2 (or 4).

I wish I could still do that! That metabolism will unfortunately catch up with her, sooner or later, I'm sure.

Look at it this way - she could be a guy! Then, you'd probably see your bill triple or quadruple!

well i have news! My cousin and I were looking at islands to go to this summer, but airfare is ridiculous...soooo it looks like ill be in disney/universal/sea world this summer!

[PNO4TE]

I feel you, Elin. :hug: I'm having a similar experience myself, today. Don't know if it's the weather that is all over the map (and thus maybe allergies?) or if I have your garden variety cold coming on. Either way, not a fun way to end the weekend, or start off the week! Here's some :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: for all of us not feeling quite up to snuff these days!

Hear hear! :grouphug: and :wizard: for everyone who feels crummy!!

Before I heat up my soup and get into my jammies I have to tell you about my afternoon. I think I told you all that we had high wind warnings on the east coast today. Well, it WAS windy here! I was hoping one of my co-workers had gotten then chance to email me the pictures she took downtown this afternoon. You all will just have to listen to my description. Sorry...

We were judging the 2:00 recital and we heard some odd noises and saw things blowing by our window. Then we saw police cruisers and fire trucks and flashing lights and running men in uniform. The next thing we know they are opening the door to our studio to tell everyone to stay indoors but to think about moving our cars because the roof is coming off one of the downtown buildings! :eek:

I work in an historic downtown area and most of the buildings are from the 1700s and the 1800s. This particular building has a very steeply pitched roof covered in the old metal roofing. The wind had somehow gotten underneath the metal sheething and had pulled it completely away from the bricks which is what we saw blowing by our windows! It was rippling in the wind and they had blocked off our entire street. A roofing contractor and his assistant got there about 30 minutes later and were up on the roof nailing 2x6 planks all over the roof to get it to stay down. It was an amazing sight and they are a lot braver than I would have been! I will post pictures when I get them.

WOW! I'm glad no one was hurt. I don't think you could find me up on a roof with metal sheeting flying around. :scared:

Weekends go so fast. Today after church I stopped and got Nicholas' hair cut. For the life of me I can't find someone that doesn't chop his hair or cut his bangs straight. I always end up redoing it. Then we came home and had lunch. Bob and Bethany came over, I took Nicholas to a friends house then went grocery shopping. We had pizza and salad for dinner. Nicholas worked some more on his science project. The bacterias are now culturing so in a day or two we should see things growing. It's not due until March 11 so if this doesn't work we should have plenty of time to redo it or come up with something else! Now we are off to read for a bit. Check ya later.

Glad it was a productive day for you, Tammi. I wish I could say the same! Can't wait to hear the results of Nicholas' project.

well i have news! My cousin and I were looking at islands to go to this summer, but airfare is ridiculous...soooo it looks like ill be in disney/universal/sea world this summer!

I was kind of disappointed at first, at not going to an island..but...if we go to florida, we will have more money to do fun things there-so im pretty excited!

My first choice is June 14-21...i have to check at work tomorrow what day my kiddies' graduation is..I have narrowed it down to 4 places--we are using a timeshare from my grandma--but i know nothing about these places so were still doing resarch

Have him document the "disaster" if it doesn't work. Part of experiments is learning from did & didn't work. That is part of the learning process.
He used 6 different cleaning solutions (water, water&soap, water&alcohol, water&bleach, lysol wipe, & lysol antibacterial cleaner). His hypothesis is that the lysol antibacterial cleaner is going to clean the best. Why? Because it's what Mom uses to clean the kitchen. I sure hope there isn't tons of cultures growing in that petri dish!!! :eek: :faint::rolleyes:

We will need pictures of what grows! :thumbsup2
We will be taking them for his display board so I'll be sure to let you see.

I wish I could still do that! That metabolism will unfortunately catch up with her, sooner or later, I'm sure.

Look at it this way - she could be a guy! Then, you'd probably see your bill triple or quadruple!


What's funny is I didn't tell you that I was the same way when I was her age. You see what happens when the metabolism catches up with you! :lmao: I was less than 120 pounds through all of high school and into college. When I married at 20, I was 110 pounds. I'm 5'5". I was down to 145 after more than a year of eating healthier. Unfortunately, I'm back up to 165 right now which is the reason that I'm working on eating healthy and exercising again. I got the eating healthy last time but didn't get into the exercise habit. I'm hoping the exercise habit will make the difference this time. I'd really like to be around 135-140. That is an ok weight for my height according to the health charts.

[PNO4TE]

Here is my worksheet for dining in September/October. What do you think??

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c69/PNO4TE/Miscellaneous/diningwksheet.jpg

If Tutto Italia is closed during our trip we would probably put Coral Reef in its place. At least, that is the plan right now!

We will eat breakfast fairly early and will eat dinners as late as we can make a reservation. As you all know, we are used to eating dinner at 9:00-9:30 anyway because of my teaching schedule.

ETA: For some reason all my snack credits are not showing up on the worksheet here on my screen. But they are on the photobucket picture so I assume you all will see them and when my cookies are gone, so will I!

[UP Disney]

There are wind chill warnings here. It is horrible outside! I mean worse than I ever remember. I sure am glad that I don't have to be out in it for any length of time. Just walking from the car to the store was horrible. http://bestsmileys.com/cold/11.gif

As of now, my first choice is 6/14-6/21
We are going to do Saturday-Saturday so we only have t otake 5 days off of work--plus we get home and have a day to "recover"

If that day doesnt work for my cousin, its going to be sometime between then and midjuly

Oh, I'm sure many of us were. I've gained about 30 lbs. since I graduated high school, but my sweet husband tells me I hide it well. I like to think that my bones have gotten heavier w/ age! :rotfl:

The telling pt. was when I pulled a belt out from the depths of my closet the other day (wore it in college). I couldn't even get the ends to meet around my waist - and I used to wear it on the very smallest hole. :rolleyes:

So I have some weird bite, boil, pimple thing on my left leg where it meets my tush it just appeared today. I also fell down the stairs and my right hip/leg is hurting where I crashed into the wall.:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I guess this is what I get for trying to wash my winter coat and robe.

I dropped my car off at the garage for an oil change, tire rotation, and also because it is making a loud whining noise when I turn.

As for weights I weigh less now then most of Junior high. I know I am an oddity around here. But I still would like to lose 30-40 pounds. As I sit here eating a soft pretzel with caramel sauce.;) :surfweb:

Elin, glad to hear you are OK. The wind is crazy isn't it??:confused3 :confused3 and it is cold to boot.

A few weeks ago it was windy. My office is located near a Playtime Boutique adult store. The office was there many years before lots of stuff was built around it. On this windy day, siding was flying off of the Playtime boutique building. In our office we were trying to figure out how to contact them to let them know it was flying off. We looked it up in the phone book and could not find a phone number. Then they were talking about looking it up online. But were afraid what would happen if they were discovered someone was looking it up online. You never know what else might pop up. Our tech dept., is based out of another office. Eventually we convinced the mail man to tell them as he had stuff to drop off at their location.:3dglasses

Did you guys hear that one of the Biergarten CM's died of a heart attack on stage on 1/31? He was only 48, he had been at Biergarten for 24 years and to make the tragedy even worse for his poor family his dad died 3 hours later that same day.:sad1:

Dallas isn't a market for Wonder bread. I know this because one of ExMomboss's friends from CA has a DD with the worst milk allergy I have ever heard of, and Wonder bread doen't have milk in it. We don't HAVE Wonder bread around here, so when they came to visit I had the privilege of reading every freaking bread label in the store to find bread that little girl could eat! The Pepperidge Farm whole grain white has high fructose corn syrup in it, so that's out.



We have Wonder in the boonies, so if you ever need it again, let me know.

I am done with Round 1 of the practice recitals. :woohoo:

However, I have a nasty cold developing. :sad2: It came on very fast with a horrible sore throat and chapped lips. Very odd, but I am not at all comfy cozy right now. Talk about the grumpies taking over. That could do very easily happen to me. I need to eat some soup, put on my jammies and climb into bed with my laptop, my DDA friends and my Dining spreadsheet.

I'm so sorry you are starting to feel bad. PD that your intervention tonight works!

I wish I could still do that! That metabolism will unfortunately catch up with her, sooner or later, I'm sure.

Look at it this way - she could be a guy! Then, you'd probably see your bill triple or quadruple!

You guys do look great, Deb! :thumbsup2

Lindsay -- I'm so sorry you are feeling under the weather. This weather has certainly been crazy. Flu and viral things are so rampant around here that when anyone says they are sick, we all take a step back. Jake told me the other night -- "I hope I don't get what you have Mommy -- you've been very sick." He was very happy when I told him that bladder infections are not contagious. :rotfl:

Jennifer -- you're pictures are amazing -- especially the first ones.

I had the most fun lunch yesterday with Lindsay and Elizabeth. Thanks ladies! We really do need to do them more often.

E-- I'm blown away that you are actually thinking you'll pack 32 shorts and 32 tops, plus everything else you need. I really need to see a picture of your luggage when you're ready to go. :rotfl: There is no way I'd consider that -- I'd send them out to be cleaned if you're that set on not doing laundry, which would probably be cheaper than the excess luggage charge. I don't mind doing it while there -- it forces me slow down for a while. I always plan on taking it easy, but it never seems to happen. One of my favorite days from the last trip, was when we took time to do laundry, I got to read in the lounge for a while, and the boys and Randy had fun taking pictures and playing at the hotel.

I really am having a hard time with this infection, so I made the decision to stay home last night and miss the Pat Green concert. Instead, I watched TV. The boys spent the night at my brother and SIL's house, so it was quieter around here this morning, and we could take our time getting ready for Church.

I barely made it through Sunday School before I was tired, but we stayed through Church, then I crashed for the afternoon. We met Dad in Rockwall (40 min. away) for dinner at my favorite burger/cheese fry place. I split one with my SIL, but I'll still regret it in the morning when I get on that scale.

I hope everyone gets off to a great week! :)

Well, if you need to borrow some in August I can pack a few extras. :rolleyes1

You're talking about eating healthy and excerising, and I'm sitting here eating chocolate cake and ice cream. Oiy! :rolleyes:

Mmmmmm. Cake! :)

That's ok. I had a warm delight with vanilla ice cream last night. However, I did have only one pepsi yesterday and one today. Last time, just the pepsi reduction gave me a 10 pound weight loss in less than 4 weeks.

Oh, Warm Delights are the BEST! Especially with ice cream. :love:

I don't know if I will really bring 32 pairs of shorts. But I could. ;) I brought 25 pairs last year.
Thanks for the heads up on the Wonder bread! Hopefully my current bosses don't know anyone with an allergy that severe!

Lindsay - I don't know where you are hiding your extra 30 pounds because you look terrific!

I don't know how much weight I would like to lose. I don't think I will ever be down to 120 again. When I got pregnant with DS I weighed 137, and I was so sick I dropped down to 129 the first trimester. The day I delivered him I weighed 167. When I came home from the hospital I weighed 160. I lost his PRECISE weight - 7 lbs. Apparently the amniotic fluid and the placenta were weightless.:rolleyes: I dropped 20 more pounds in the first few weeks after I had him and I have been hovering around or just above 140 for the past 12 years. Last year around this same time when I REALLY tried to eat better and drink lots of water I think I got down to maybe 136 or so. Now I am back to 145.:headache:

And did you see the little boy slam the car door on the bed? How long will it be before somebody's fingers get in that door? Just some really poor choices there.:rolleyes:

I am annoyed with many of these shows. I've always wondered how they can maintain paying for their taxes, etc. after they get these huge houses. I realize that they usually get money to pay off the houses but there is more to maintaining a house than the mortgage.

I called my mother today. They had 9 inches of snow this week. So...

She decided she didn't want to wait for the apt. complex to clear the path. She trudged out to her car, cleaned it off, and drove across town to her storage unit to get her snow shovel. If I am not mistaken this is the shovel she has from when we lived where it snowed. Namely Massachusetts. In the 1970's. She got stuck inthe snow at the storage place but they helped her get unstuck. Then they had to help her shut the door to her unit because it wasn't closing properly. She went home and cleared the path with her shovel, then the plow came by and buried her nice clear path. So she went outside and shouted at them that she expected to have a clear path. They did clean it off somewhat, but not to her satisfaction.:sad2: Oh, my.

Her birthday is Tuesday. I asked her if she is going to do anything, and I told her I have her card but it will be late because I ran out of stamps. She said birthdays are only fun if someone takes you to dinner and buys you nice presents, so for her it is just another day. How does one respond to that?:confused3

[Tammi67]

I didn't know there was a "Friend's List". :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2: Good to know. However, I told Chuck he is not allowed to have a list and to make it fair, I won't either.
It comes from an episode of Friends, where they all had their list of celebrities.

I can't keep 1100 sq. ft. clean, and I don't have plants all over my ceiling or car doors on any of my beds. Is the one-legged guy supposed to get on a ladder and vacuum all those leaves? DS has a loft bed that I can hardly change the sheets because the bed is against the wall and it doesn't move, so how hard is it to change the sheets on bunk beds made of metal car parts? Who are they supposed to call when that stuff breaks? Or when the aquarium built into the wall starts to leak? Or when the bowling alley malfunctions? (Those are all things I have seen, some tonight, some on other episodes.) The upkeep on houses like the ones they build has to be astronomical.

Hmm. I just don't know. I get all tangled up in the facts of their real lives - like that they have wives and kids and that just feels WRONG. Of course I have DH and DS so it goes both ways. I will have to get in a THEORETICAL frame of mind and work on my list. I think it will include Rob Lowe...

Um, Elizabeth, it's supposed to be a fantasy. So in YOUR fantasy they wouldn't have wives and kids and you wouldn't have DH and DS. You are thinking too realistically.

Shaun was too young for my tastes. I liked David Cassidy better! The funny thing is that Shaun is three years older than me. I did like Shaun in The Hardy Boys. I was a big Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Trixie Belden book reader when I was a young teen. I think Trixie Belden was my first real book (not children's) that was all my own.

You're not representing SVU...what about Christopher Meloni?!!

John Cusack almost made my list...

I used to have the biggest crush on Grant Aleksander. He played Phillip Spaulding on Guiding Light when I was in 7th grade. I ran across him flipping channels one day about 20 years later and he hadn't aged a day. Spooky.
I think Adam Duritz of Counting Crows is an amazing guy but he isn't on my list. I would just like to chat with him.

Tim Burton? No, maybe not.

he just doesn't do it for me:confused3 ....although if Cassidy could make out a list I am pretty sure he'd be on it...she's got a thing for older men:rotfl:

If I had to pick an SVU detective it would be the new one or Ice T

[my3princes]

Thanks... I have had a fairly rough go so far, physically. I consider myself pretty tough, but when it's one thing after another (and I hear about people like you, and one of my good friends who never had a minute of trouble ;)) it just gets exhausting! To top it off, I've always had a lot of emotional struggles through the winter, and I think I staved them off being so busy but now that things are settling down they are kicking in (and of course it doesn't help all of the physical changes, hormones, etc added this year!). I'm hoping that if Spring ever shows up I'll be doing a bit better. I am thankful, though, that I've got the most wonderful husband I could have ever asked for. He is super supportive when I feel worthless, so at least I have someone to bounce a lot off of. :lovestruc I am a pretty lucky girl!

I hated every second of pregnancy. My OB was actually afraid that I would have postpartum depression. I asked her what the total opposite would be...jubilation for NOT being pregnant :rotfl: I was fine from the second of delivery.

well i have news! My cousin and I were looking at islands to go to this summer, but airfare is ridiculous...soooo it looks like ill be in disney/universal/sea world this summer!

Staying with us?

I was kind of disappointed at first, at not going to an island..but...if we go to florida, we will have more money to do fun things there-so im pretty excited!

My first choice is June 14-21...i have to check at work tomorrow what day my kiddies' graduation is..I have narrowed it down to 4 places--we are using a timeshare from my grandma--but i know nothing about these places so were still doing resarch

apparently not... But we will be there June 28 - July 18th. Rethink your dates so we can meet up.

He's on my "Friend's List". You know, 5 celebrities that you would have a 'free pass' with, if you were to ever meet them in real life. Elin's DD's friend comes close enough to the real deal! :rotfl2:

She said birthdays are only fun if someone takes you to dinner and buys you nice presents, so for her it is just another day. How does one respond to that?:confused3

Call a restaurant in her area and have them deliver dinner to her. The dinner is your gift and she eats...voila the perfect birthday;)


I have not made an official list, but Patrick Swasey would Definitely be on there. I watched Dirty Dancing the other day :lovestruc

[my3princes]

Vicki did you see the pirate earrings that I posted?

[UP Disney]

Cassidy loves the Cassidy brothers....wanna guess why???:lmao:

Deb - I wouldn't know where to begin. Topeka isn't a hotbed of fine dining with delivery available. I will probably send her a gift card to a restaurant. Or perhaps a new snow shovel. :rolleyes:

Hmm. Maybe Dylan McDermot?

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Oooh! Maybe Jacob Dylan! He strikes me as dark and twisty!

[UP Disney]

I have not made an official list, but Patrick Swasey would Definitely be on there. I watched Dirty Dancing the other day :lovestruc

Between Grease and Dirty Dancing, I have watched them many, many times. I can't even count. I was so glad when they came out on DVD so that I could buy them and have them always. Now, I can hop to my favorite parts. My favorite from Dirty Dancing is from where he says "No one puts Baby in a corner" to the end. I love that last dance scene. I love all the dance and singing scenes in Grease except Beauty School Dropout.

[babytrees]

Jen-I am sorry you aren't finding pregnancy easy....I loved being pregnant and other than Cassidy trying to come on April Fool's day it was awesome. You are a stinker not putting up the U/S that tell us what we should be buying for!!:goodvibes I wonder if I was the only one who counted cells on the baby's first pics??? (Yes I am a geek and I know it)

All who are feeling ookie I am sorry and hope you get better soon!!:wizard:

[UP Disney]

Vicki did you see the pirate earrings that I posted?

Yes, I have to check with the girls on whether they are interested in the earrings. Becky wanted to be a princess but Katrina wants to be a pirate so I think she'd like them. Actually, send me an IM with how much they were. I will probably just take them. They'll wear them for something.

Oh no! I just realized I forgot to send you a check for the lights. I'll get that sent tomorrow as well.

Bernadette, I'm putting the DVD's in the mail tomorrow as well.

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Oops. I spelled it wrong.

Jakob Dylan. And I do think he might be #4.

[UP Disney]

Uh oh! Chuck count me. He looked over my shoulder and said "What are you doing?" I told you I had told him he wasn't allowed to have a list so he knew about the lists. Then he saw me looking up pictures of all these guys. He told me he's locking the bedroom door on me tonight. :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2:

What's funny is the other morning when Becky got up sick at 5am and I stayed up with her, he did lock me out of the bedroom. When Becky went back to bed, I got up and went to go back to bed but the door was locked. We always lock the door at night so it was just habit for him when he got up and went to the bathroom.

[UP Disney]

Well, I was waiting for Becky to get home from work. She is home safe and sound now so I'm heading to bed. Take it easy! I don't know if I'll see you tomorrow.

Anyone stayed in a Standard Room at the Beach Club? Trying where to figure out to request with Rees (Not a long walk and quiet). Thanks!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Now I am stuck. I have a tie for #5. Maybe I should base it exclusively on visual appeal as opposed to who is dark and twisty.

In that case #4 would be Kyle Chandler and #5 is Nathan Fillion (the OB/GYN married to Kathrine on Desperate housewives). I actually thought he was someone else, but I looked it up and that's his name.

So my completed list is:
1. Rob Lowe
2. George Clooney
3. Andy Garcia (when he filmed When A Man Loves a Woman)
4. Kyle Chandler
5. Nathan Fillion

There!

Did you guys hear that one of the Biergarten CM's died of a heart attack on stage on 1/31? He was only 48, he had been at Biergarten for 24 years and to make the tragedy even worse for his poor family his dad died 3 hours later that same day.:sad1:

How terrible! :(

He's on my "Friend's List". You know, 5 celebrities that you would have a 'free pass' with, if you were to ever meet them in real life. Elin's DD's friend comes close enough to the real deal! :rotfl2:

Now that's the way to go.... the episode made a good point about "internationals", but that's an even safer bet than going with someone you have a better chance of running into -- someone who is multiplied dozens of times! :rotfl:

I saw that this morning! I have been watching that thread on the CB for a while, waiting for this and another long thread to come back. I think we're safer staying here though... the other stuff is just too tricky! At least it's there for reference though.

He's still "folder-worthy" too. :thumbsup2

I totally thought he would make it on your list!

Good luck with the MRI. Safe travels.

Goodnight. I'm off to bed too.

Vicki, please let us know how the MRI goes today!

Jen-I am sorry you aren't finding pregnancy easy....I loved being pregnant and other than Cassidy trying to come on April Fool's day it was awesome. You are a stinker not putting up the U/S that tell us what we should be buying for!!:goodvibes I wonder if I was the only one who counted cells on the baby's first pics??? (Yes I am a geek and I know it)

All who are feeling ookie I am sorry and hope you get better soon!!:wizard:

Actually, that's why I put 8-10 cells, because I figured someone would! ;) in order to be considered the best quality for that stage, they are supposed to be 8 cells. But because of course doubling doesn't happen to the second in real life, some get a little farther ahead or behind. I think ours ended up with 8 (and maybe a 9th hiding), and 9 (with a 10th likely hiding). Who knows! They were good enough for me! :thumbsup2






I enjoyed catching up this morning and reading all of your lists. :) Because I'm nicer than Amy, I won't tell you which of those I would have to google. :rolleyes1 In conversations such as this in the past, I've tried to come up with a list... but mine changes ENTIRELY too quickly to make it plausible! I don't think I'd get away with it! :rotfl: I always have been fickle!

I'm off to work, although I still haven't learned not to go in this early since I can NEVER get out when I'm supposed to. Is it Saturday yet? :confused3


Have a great day!

Anyone stayed in a Standard Room at the Beach Club? Trying where to figure out to request with Rees (Not a long walk and quiet). Thanks!

We had perfect rooms in October, Denise. They were standard view on the first floor. We had patios that opened onto the walkway between BC and Epcot and I didn't think the walk to the main part of the resort was that bad. Stormalong Bay was pretty far unless you walked outside, like we did.

I had requested First Floor, close to Epcot.

Good morning, DDA! :sunny: Try to stay warm!!

[tinknme]

Good morning :)

[Pooh67_68]

Elin, feel better soon. :wizard:

[marcij]

wind chill right now is 17 :scared:

Wow! :scared1: Are you feeling better today?

We might get a little rain today -- we SOOOOO need it. The wind has been so bad lately that we've had multiple grass fires in my county.

Have a good day, DDA! :)

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

So I just spent the last hour trying to get rubber cement out of my carpet:headache: My darling daughter left the jar ajar and it spilt allllll over!!:mad: This is after spilling paint earlier tonight. I actually went in and woke her up to help....ended up sending back to bed after about 10 minutes. I am just so frustrated with my family after this weekend. :headache: :headache: :headache:

That sounds mighty unpleasant.:hug: Have you seen the roll-on scrapbook adhesive? That's what we use. It is more like tape so it can't spill.

I hope everyone has a good Monday! I'll pop in after I get everybody to school!

[Pooh67_68]

Smart girl you have there.


she's got a thing for older men. :rotfl:

[yellowfish78]

:lmao: I can't believe that I woke up to this many pages!! :rotfl: It was great catching up though! I'll think of my list later today...

[Pooh67_68]

I have never had a five list.


1. William Shatner
2. John Travolta
3. Johnny Depp

Morning. Wow the temp went up a whole degree. It is now 1º with a wind chill of -10º

That's about what we're looking at here :( We're supposed to have a winter storm warning tonight too, with 4-6 inches of ice. UGH! I am so ready for some sunshine! :sunny:

[Pooh67_68]

Jennifer, I am ready for sunshine too. :cold:

Hope you don't get the ice. :wizard:

No Dvc--as of now, we are looking at:

and 2 others i cant think of...

I'm sure they'll be very nice!

I hadn't - how very sad! :sad1:

How are you feeling?

I really am having a hard time with this infection, so I made the decision to stay home last night and miss the Pat Green concert. Instead, I watched TV. The boys spent the night at my brother and SIL's house, so it was quieter around here this morning, and we could take our time getting ready for Church.

I barely made it through Sunday School before I was tired, but we stayed through Church, then I crashed for the afternoon. We met Dad in Rockwall (40 min. away) for dinner at my favorite burger/cheese fry place. I split one with my SIL, but I'll still regret it in the morning when I get on that scale.

I hope everyone gets off to a great week! :)

That was probably a wise decision, Marci - I was worried we were going to wear you out at lunch! I hope you're on the mend today! :hug:

Lindsay - I don't know where you are hiding your extra 30 pounds because you look terrific!

I don't know how much weight I would like to lose. I don't think I will ever be down to 120 again. When I got pregnant with DS I weighed 137, and I was so sick I dropped down to 129 the first trimester. The day I delivered him I weighed 167. When I came home from the hospital I weighed 160. I lost his PRECISE weight - 7 lbs. Apparently the amniotic fluid and the placenta were weightless.:rolleyes: I dropped 20 more pounds in the first few weeks after I had him and I have been hovering around or just above 140 for the past 12 years. Last year around this same time when I REALLY tried to eat better and drink lots of water I think I got down to maybe 136 or so. Now I am back to 145.:headache:

Well, thank you. :goodvibes But trust me, it's there! :rotfl:

You look great, too - Marci, as well! We probably all just need to do the "healthier living" thing so we continue to look good in the years to come! It's just so hard when everything I love to eat is not good for me!

I called my mother today. They had 9 inches of snow this week. So...

She decided she didn't want to wait for the apt. complex to clear the path. She trudged out to her car, cleaned it off, and drove across town to her storage unit to get her snow shovel. If I am not mistaken this is the shovel she has from when we lived where it snowed. Namely Massachusetts. In the 1970's. She got stuck inthe snow at the storage place but they helped her get unstuck. Then they had to help her shut the door to her unit because it wasn't closing properly. She went home and cleared the path with her shovel, then the plow came by and buried her nice clear path. So she went outside and shouted at them that she expected to have a clear path. They did clean it off somewhat, but not to her satisfaction.:sad2: Oh, my.

Her birthday is Tuesday. I asked her if she is going to do anything, and I told her I have her card but it will be late because I ran out of stamps. She said birthdays are only fun if someone takes you to dinner and buys you nice presents, so for her it is just another day. How does one respond to that?:confused3

Oh, that's kind of sad. :guilty: And poor thing with all that snow!

Could you send her a restaurant gc, maybe in care to your sister, and have her take her to dinner later this week?

[Tinkaroo]

I wrote a love letter to him. In crayon. I wonder why he didn't respond personally?:confused3

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, I'm off to bed too. I have an early morning. Some major stuff happening on the project that I have to get a handle on before others get in tomorrow morning. I'm also heading to Lansing tomorrow after Becky's MRI.

Be safe on your drive today, and let us know how Becy's MRI goes!

Anyone stayed in a Standard Room at the Beach Club? Trying where to figure out to request with Rees (Not a long walk and quiet). Thanks!

I have, Denise. I loved our room location, and thought it was very quiet. The only problem you might run into with the BC is that the resort is pretty "thin" width wise, and so a lot of the rooms are going to be further from the main lobby than some other deluxe resorts.

That said, we were about half-way down the resort's west-side, overlooking a courtyard (we could see Crescent Lake to our left), and we had a full balcony on the 2nd floor. I can't remember the room # off the top of my head, but I'll see if I can find it. It was a king-bed room, so that exact room obviously wouldn't work for you guys, but I think all the rooms around us on the 2nd floor had the balconies.

Here were the views, to give you an idea of resort orientation:

Looking out to the left:

Straight ahead:

We were also very close to the quiet pool on that side of the building, and you could use that entrance door when coming back from Epcot, so you could walk inside in the a/c!

So I just spent the last hour trying to get rubber cement out of my carpet:headache: My darling daughter left the jar ajar and it spilt allllll over!!:mad: This is after spilling paint earlier tonight. I actually went in and woke her up to help....ended up sending back to bed after about 10 minutes. I am just so frustrated with my family after this weekend. :headache: :headache: :headache:

Ugh. I'm so sorry it's been a rough weekend, Theresa! :hug:

[Tinkaroo]

Well, I need to get to work. Still not feeling all that great this morning, but duty calls. Have a great day, DDA!

Kilimanjaro Safari Jeep Fire - Sunday 2/10/08

On Sunday afternoon, February 10th, the engine in one of the Kilimanjaro Safari Vehicles caught fire. According to the Orlando Sentinel, "Four guests requested a medical evaluation at the scene, and one of them, a woman who was injured as guests exited the ride vehicle, was taken to Celebration Health."

The ride is scheduled to reopen Monday, February 11th.

[babytrees]

That sounds mighty unpleasant.:hug: Have you seen the roll-on scrapbook adhesive? That's what we use. It is more like tape so it can't spill.

I hope everyone has a good Monday! I'll pop in after I get everybody to school!


we tried tape, regular glue various other "stick" together devices....none of them stuck cardboard to cardboard...and the rubber cement at least did that....and made a puddle in my carpet:headache:

[tmfranlk]

Off to the "world"

4am sure comes early!! It only 1 degree...and very windy...so far the plane is on time...cross your fingers.

Taking the laptop for work....so I will check in later.

Take care!!

Have a wonderful time, Kristine. So many fun things planned!

[tmfranlk]

First, a shot that won't appear on my blog or anywhere else. It's a photo taken on a high power microscope, not an ultrasound. But it goes with the theme ;) VERY few people have seen this (maybe nobody I know IRL?) because most people were not filled in on the whole process.

This was taken at literally 72 hours of existence. These blobs are my babies, when they had only about 8-10 cells! The whole thing just blows me away....

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/kaufmaka/th_001-twinsday3.jpg

Okay, now that one is just way too cool!

[tmfranlk]

Jennifer your pictures give me such a warm, fuzzy feeling inside :goodvibes


Me too! :goodvibes :love: :cloud9: So sweet. Can't wait to see more!

[tmfranlk]

Good luck! What flavor did she choose?


It is strawberry at least, with maybe a little banana mixed in. Last night, we mixed it in with her Ovaltine and that seems to do the trick. She doesn't mind it at all and it took less time to drink a whole cup of Ovaltine than it did to take the 2tsp of straight medicine. I think we've found a winner.

[tmfranlk]

Robyn - Emma and her hair dilemnas are making me smile. :goodvibes I guess we're never happy with what we've been given. I used to pine for curly hair when I was younger, but have come to terms with my straight hair at this point in my life. Tell her to wash those curls back into her hair!

We were talking about that yesterday here as well. Rachel got a straightener for her birthday. She's the only one of us with curly hair (and it's only slightly so) and she wants to straighten it. The other 3 of us had straight hair and wanted it curly at some point or another. :confused3

Yay for Terra (and Tia!) :teeth::cheer2:

[tmfranlk]

I was kind of disappointed at first, at not going to an island..but...if we go to florida, we will have more money to do fun things there-so im pretty excited!

My first choice is June 14-21...i have to check at work tomorrow what day my kiddies' graduation is..I have narrowed it down to 4 places--we are using a timeshare from my grandma--but i know nothing about these places so were still doing resarch

What timeshare group is it? We've stayed in a few in that area so maybe I can help.

[tmfranlk]

Here is my worksheet for dining in September/October. What do you think??

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c69/PNO4TE/Miscellaneous/th_diningwksheet.jpg

If Tutto Italia is closed during our trip we would probably put Coral Reef in its place. At least, that is the plan right now!

We will eat breakfast fairly early and will eat dinners as late as we can make a reservation. As you all know, we are used to eating dinner at 9:00-9:30 anyway because of my teaching schedule.

ETA: For some reason all my snack credits are not showing up on the worksheet here on my screen. But they are on the photobucket picture so I assume you all will see them and when my cookies are gone, so will I!

Sounds like a very delicious plan!!

[PNO4TE]

Wow! :scared1: Are you feeling better today?

We might get a little rain today -- we SOOOOO need it. The wind has been so bad lately that we've had multiple grass fires in my county.

I definitely have a cold, but I will be fine. Thanks, Marci. How are YOU feeling today?

We need rain too; there are a few wildfires that were whipped to a frenzy in Virginia yesterday along with the roof I mentioned. There was another restaurant in town that lost its roof too! :scared:

[PNO4TE]

Good morning. Stay warm everyone.

How are you feeling today, Elin?

Bleh... :rotfl:
And it is all the way up to 29 here at 12:30 p.m.!!

[Tammi67]

Bleh... :rotfl:
