[DisneyMommyMichelle]

morning everyone! i'm off to catch up!! but i did get this far!!

Does nayone know what age they stop taking people for the college program? It might be worth going back to school just to be able to do that. Especially when Terry is back. It would be much easier!


As long as you are in college, you can go! one yr my roomie like 50 :faint: hahaha!

And no you don't get tired of it! i mean i WORLED for Disney and i'm still obsessed and if we ever did get that transfer, i would probably work seasonally!!

[julsmom]

Mornin'!

Man Cat, you sound chipper today!! :)

[CathrynRose]

Mornin'!

Man Cat, you sound chipper today!! :)

I was up crazy freaking late last night..... I think it was 2-ish when I ended up asleep!

So, this morning I coffified myself, bigtime....

Im on a caffeine-high! :yay:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Hey everyone! It's been a while, and I thought I should check in! Wow, Michelle's pregnant!! I really have been away for a while. Congrats!
Nothing new going on with us.....still working too much, we've all been sick off and on. Seems like it's been a rough winter. I'll try to check in a little more often so that everyone doesn't think that I've been abducted by aliens!

HEY YOU! it's great to hear from ya! That stinks that you have been working so much!! i hope it eases up on ya!!! Take care and say hi to that cutie of yours!!!!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Morning everyone! brunch was fabulous! Then we hung out my parents house and I changed the kids into playclothes and they took off in the backyard all day! it was a lot of fun! Cake and presents were fun too! My grandfathers birthday is this week so ANOTHER brunch on saturday coming up! :laughing: it never ends!!

Has anyone been to the Milwaukee Zoo and if so what did you think? we're thinking of making a trek up there sometime!

[julsmom]

169 days Cat!! That's not that bad. :thumbsup2

[julsmom]

Okay, here's my plan (maybe):

Check in: Sunday Nov. 25: MK: LTT
Monday: Epcot: Akershus; MVMCP
Tuesday: Pirate Cruise for Jul; MGM: Brown Derby (Fantasmic)
Wed: AK: Tusker; Hoop De Doo
Thurs: BBB; MK: CRT
Friday: Epcot: Garden Grill, Le Cellier
Saturday: MGM
Sunday:MK Leave either Sunday or Monday

Hopefully add Richard Petty Experience for Sean. Jul has done BBB, Wonderland Tea Party, so I want something different for her (pirate cruise). I don't think I want to do the Disney Girl Tea Party b/c she is getting that doll from the Easter Bunny. The other thing I might try for her is the chef experience at the Land.

We don't know if we will drive or fly. I kind of want to drive only b/c then we can go around to all the resorts and see everything.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

80* over here today! looks like we'll be outside a lot!!! :yay: have a good one everyone! :wave:

[Patsfan7]

Good morning all! Julsmom... sounds GREAT!!!! Could you fly and just rent a small car to get from resort to resort? We always rent because I have panic attacks in confined spaces that I don't control. Did I tell you all aobut taking public transportation to Diego this Saturday???? Sarah had never been on a train/subway, except for the WDW railroad, so I took the subway in... WHAT A HORROR SHOW! Back to no busses/subway for me!;)

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Good Morning everyone!

Depending on the free dining dates, I would be definately IN for it if we can do it!!!!! Four adults, one 5yo and one 2yo!:cool1:

Im not going the last week - Im going the 12th - 17th!!!

Hi gang,
I gotta get going to the Academy!!!

[BethC1952]

Hi, Ronda!

If there's free dining, you can count us (me and Jim) in for a dessert gathering! I feel the need to warn others, however, that if you, Jim and I are present at the same gathering, things can get--well, pretty wild!:lmao:

[CathrynRose]

Okay - why are we gathering twice? Is anyone else booked the end of September? And the free dining rumor doesnt go to the end of September!

No one wants to meet me - hence why Im finding new POP'ers to Party with.


Check out my sunset last night. And that old saying is true.... About Pink Skies at night, a sailors delight? It's beautiful today! GORGEOUS!

Cat:

Why can't we gather twice? We're a fun bunch! :thumbsup2 I'm in for whenever free dining happens. It's the only way I can afford to go to WDW twice in the fall, since we're probably going the week after Thanksgiving with my son and his family. Taking a granddaughter to WDW is an expensive proposition!

If we can squeeze in some time during whenever free dining happens, count the two of us in for any kind of gathering, especially one that involves dessert, or, for that matter, any other type of food! If Disney is picking up the tab for my meals, I'll have extra cash for all the other fun stuff! I really didn't believe that Jim would want to go twice in such a short time, but it was his idea. This was the first time that he really didn't want to come home. I think he finally gets the whole WDW thing!

You're right, it doesn't. I'm going on the assumption that if you (okay, I) check in by the last "rumor-date" then, like last year, you (okay, I) can get free dining for the entire week of my stay. So I'm arriving September 22 = which is the ONLY reason we're even discussing two 'meets', that we may not all be there at the same time :(

Im gettin' an itchin for a new camera.... this one is $315... I want it. Jim said to get it - he said he was embarrased of our camera (Kodak EasyShare C330) at WDW - LOL!!!...he said he'd look around and everyone else had nice camera's. This one (Canon S3 IS) is freaking AMAZING...the pictures it takes are just simply amazing!

These are some of the pic's people posted on Amazon taken with this camera... I wont be taking many BUG pictures, but it's just *W*O*W*!!!

Yes! EVERYTIME I ask someone what camera they had to take an awesome pic that I see here on the DIS, it is always the Cannon powershot (sometimes the s2 or whatever was the last model though) I just trash cameras though so I have always taken cheap ones. I really don't take care of anything nice! I guess I have been way too spoiled. ;) I may be willing to buy the powershot that is point and shoot. Those are coming down in price. The only thing I heard about cannon is that they have some sort of class action lawsuit because the lens on a lot of cameras gets stuck and they don't stand behind the product... so that's why I have been scared off so far. Murphy's law you know....

Got to go put food in the mouths of the other three that live here... bye for now.:upsidedow

So let's not even go there about TOT! As I waited and waited and waited looking like a major loser. Cat, I think they did to me what you accuse us of doing to you. They all laughed at the Lone POPper trying to find her "meet buddies"

Ronda - what was that comment about being shy??? Hmmm... nose growing much? :)

Colleen - My best friend and I were just talking today about a girls only trip to WDW. I told her I would want to go when Terry is home so I don't have to shuffle Ryan around. I can't wait! When are you planning on cruising? And hey, thanks for the margarita invite. :snooty: I LOVE margaritas. I enjoyed one at the F&W fest at about 11am. Followed by champagne. I LOVE being on vaca! :lmao:

Cat - I saw those Crocs at the mall today. SO CUTE! They didn't ahve the new wedge style but I did finally see the Mickey ones up close. Too stinking cute. Ry is getting a pair for the summer! Oh, and BEAUTIFUL sunset. Very similar to the ones we have down here. No grass or vegetation, but boy howdy do we have some awesome sunsets!

What else? Oh, my waxing hurt like a mother, but I am so pleased with how cute my brows are now.

Ummmm.... what else? Oh back to the topic of when everyone is going in Sept, can we start a list on this thread? It would help to keep track. Timmy, aren't you going back around that time too?

Cat - I saw those Crocs at the mall today. SO CUTE! They didn't ahve the new wedge style but I did finally see the Mickey ones up close. Too stinking cute. Ry is getting a pair for the summer! Oh, and BEAUTIFUL sunset. Very similar to the ones we have down here. No grass or vegetation, but boy howdy do we have some awesome sunsets!


Ummmm.... what else? Oh back to the topic of when everyone is going in Sept, can we start a list on this thread? It would help to keep track. Timmy, aren't you going back around that time too?

What would be the odds are me sending you the money for those CROCS and you getting them for me and sending them - maybe in a Priority Mail envelope or something?? The shipping for Dillards is $9!!! NINE BUCKS! for 9-17 days! (we dont have Dillards in Illinois) and no where has the tie dye ones.:headache:

Ill start a list:

Jen !! I cant see pics at work.. I have to do this again at home... Quick question ... what does Jul's friend call her in school ??? Do you call her just Juls .. what is her 1st name ? I am this little project in my head and I hope I finish it before you go to WDW .. i know it is a long way from now... but with my luck... I will be stuck in some other chore and will not get to my hobbies and by the time I get to it who knows when... in my perfect world it should make it there by Easter again in my perfect world but right now it is far from perfect :lmao:

Cat that's a great pic!!

Mine are cherry red. I did not get flowers this time. When they do my flowers, they are kind of like jul's but more detailed. I have asked them to do mickey heads in the past and they say no. BUT I have totally figured out how to do the flowers myself, so it is just a matter of time until I just do the Mickey heads myself. I pay attention to how people do everything. I do my own french mani's, both hands really well.

Ugh! These are so not the sandals we were even looking for. It was sooo frustrating. We got our nails done and THEN spent about THREE hours looking ONLY for a stinking pair of flip flops for Jul. No where in the mall. I really wanted Old Navy $5 pair. Soooo insanely picked over. Nothing. I mean nothing. Then Kohl's. Disney princess, not her size. They had her size in nothing. These were the only ones. I bought them without even realizing that I so did not want to spend $20 on a pair of flip flops. I was just so over it. And now she has $20 flip flops that I do not want her to get dirty b/c I realized they cost $20. But she does like them. She hasn't tripped yet or complained about weight. Even thinking about the chaos and the cost makes me mad at myself. I just need to go back to Old Navy when they restock and get her a pair she can destroy. :)

How old is your DD?

I was just thinking about this and my kids will be 7, 6 & 4 :faint: WOW!!

We are going on one in 2 yrs i think, since next year is just too busy! Depending on how the kids take to it, we will be going every other yr then :)

Well, you will have to go on our year too!!!! (we were just fantisizing about it because I will be 40!!!!!) She was saying how we will have to have a big party... but I rather have a trip, so I suggested the cruise! Your kiddos will all be old enough for the drop off kid thing... that is what I am definately waiting for... for Sean to be at least 3 so he can go to "camp" or whatever they call it!!!

You guys!! These actually are not that bad. Some of the reds have really racy names. "I'm not really a waitress" "Red-y for anything" This was just Ch-Ch-Cherry.

If you don't do pedis, take my suggestion very seriously. Go get one. Try it just once. It will make you feel so good. It will make you feel feminine, put together. Own it.

I talked my mother into one this year FINALLY! I have been telling her for probably like 15 years or so to go get one... this year at age 59 she finally did and LOVED IT!!!! She was raised such that women that painted their toes were hussys!!! Now, she gets a french manicure on her toes and I guess only us girls who go RED are the hussys! She thinks that I got that trait from the lady who was in the bed next to her when she gave birth to me! The lady had RED toes for "something for the dr. to look at" and she thought that was very racy... so I guess I got my spunk from day one?:confused3 ;)

Yayyy i'm glad you liked them! DH is on his way out in a bit to get milk, so i'm sending him to the post as well since it's next to it! :woohoo:

The cell charms are made with crystals and i figured they were too girly, so i used silver for Rys clip :)

Enjoy! oh and i got the check today!

Perfect, thanks again. And Ry will appreciate the non-girly aspect. He told me the other day that pink is taking over the world and Barbie was his nemesis (sp?). So, yeah, you nailed the non crystal thing right on the head! ;)
That was pretty good timing too wasn't it? :)

Juls toes are so cute. Times like that I wish I had a girl. I just borrow my friends kids and call it good!

My friend calls bright colors on her toes, "Ho Toes." I usually go pretty subtle. But in the summer I do like a splash of color. OPI is my fave polish and right now I am wearing.. (had to run to the bathroom and check) Santiago Sangria. Oh la la.

Anyone else still out there?

Hi Gang,
Whats doing?? So class was fun today. Of course i'm already in full anixety mode with the upcomming test on friday. We have a 100 to 200 question test every friday with a 25 question quiz thrown in every wednesday. We lost a guy today, he was kicked out of the program. I don't get some of these guys, Some spend thier whole carear trying to get into this one program that is only offered every 9 or 10 years.

So what does this guy do?? It's week 2 and he's been late over 6 times with 4 of those days being late more than 45 minutes.:confused3 :confused3 So anyway we broke for lunch and after we came back, his seat was empty and they told us. They also explained to us they had a talk with him last thursday and he assured them he would make it on time. Friday he was a hour late and today 45 minutes.


All is well here, i've been reading for the last 2 hours, i'm pooped. Ds is killing me. On my lunch breaks i call the house and talk to the misses and him, he keeps asking me why i am not home alot with him anymore. He asked me if i still love him, so after i pulled the knife out of my heart, i explained to him that i did very much and that we would do something really fun this weekend, of course the first words out of his mouth are disney?? I told him not now but soon, very soon i hope. We will go to the movies on saturday, i promised him. Al right gang, i'm gonna go to bed, goodnight all!!

[CathrynRose]

PJ - That's a shame about these guys who just sluff off the program like its no big thing. It is probably better that way though. At least they can weed out the ones who really don't give a flying you know what.

The comment your son made made me sad. That's a hard spot to be in. You are doing the right thing though! You can tell him he is lucky he gets to see you as often as he does.... my son can't see his daddy for a year. I think they are never too young to learn to appreciate what they DO have you know? I try to get that through Ry's head. I am not always successful, but I try.

Keep up the good work! I am proud of you!

Although now that Ryan is older and can fend for himself for a bit, I enjoy a nap now and then. My kid will go go go nonstop. If he ever admits that he is actually tired, I mark it on the calendar because it rarely happens.

I was reading a thread about the Million Dreams promo and many people think it is a bad idea. ANy thoughts about that? I think it is a neat promotion, but I wish since Disney is known for its magic, they should do things like that all the time. My deal is the ones who go expecting to get every little thing. And then complain because they didn't. I guess the dream for me is to be able to go and spend a week with my son doing things that are so removed from our day to day lives! Call me old fashioned, but why do people always expect to get something in return? Can't we just be happy with what we have? Alot of people can't even afford to go to Disney. Although I do love to win things, I guess it was fulfilling enough to have those priceless magical moments and memories with Ryan. No dream fastpass could take the place of that!

Hopefully add Richard Petty Experience for Sean.

I was gonna do this for DH for his birthday, because he was really upset that we've been to Disney so much and never did it. Yesterday he mentioned how he can't though because he can't drive stick.

Hello everyone!
What a morning... I so wish I was Timmy this morning!!!! Shopping would have been better-way better! Not that it was a terrible morning, but eventful.

So, I drop Sarah off at school, then going off to the supermarket because I am cooking for 13 people tonight and needed a few more things. So, I am on my way, and I have to pull over to the right to let an ambulance pass... Ok, fine, then I pull away, and well, then my tire starts going tink-tink-tink... so I pull into a dead end, and low and behold I have a bolt and washer in my tire. So, I turn back to home, get home, take Sean out of the carseat, turn back to the car to take the carseat out so that I can transfer it to my mother's spare car that she loaned us, and I hear "thump" I turn around and Sean has fallen off of our retaining wall onto the driveway. So, he cries, and is more upset that he has gravel on his little hands, but I see the bump growing on his little forehead. I bring him in and put ice on it. It's not so bad now, but that kid is always bumping his head... and always within a few feet of me! I wish I could see these things coming. UGH!

So, after I get Sarah from school and we go to the supermarket, I get two visitors. I always hate that! Surprise visits... hello? You know you are dropping by, could you please call?????? My house is always a mess, People know this, I swear they just want to see how bad it is today, and how crazy I am with the kids!!!!

Ok, enough venting. I have to go peel a million potatoes and carrotts. Talk to you all tonight! Take care, and don't let your sons bump their heads! :scared1:

What a morning... I so wish I was Timmy this morning!!!! Shopping would have been better-way better! Not that it was a terrible morning, but eventful.

So, I drop Sarah off at school, then going off to the supermarket because I am cooking for 13 people tonight and needed a few more things. So, I am on my way, and I have to pull over to the right to let an ambulance pass... Ok, fine, then I pull away, and well, then my tire starts going tink-tink-tink... so I pull into a dead end, and low and behold I have a bolt and washer in my tire. So, I turn back to home, get home, take Sean out of the carseat, turn back to the car to take the carseat out so that I can transfer it to my mother's spare car that she loaned us, and I hear "thump" I turn around and Sean has fallen off of our retaining wall onto the driveway. So, he cries, and is more upset that he has gravel on his little hands, but I see the bump growing on his little forehead. I bring him in and put ice on it. It's not so bad now, but that kid is always bumping his head... and always within a few feet of me! I wish I could see these things coming. UGH!

So, after I get Sarah from school and we go to the supermarket, I get two visitors. I always hate that! Surprise visits... hello? You know you are dropping by, could you please call?????? My house is always a mess, People know this, I swear they just want to see how bad it is today, and how crazy I am with the kids!!!!

Ok, enough venting. I have to go peel a million potatoes and carrotts. Talk to you all tonight! Take care, and don't let your sons bump their heads!


:hug: :hug: we all have crazy days! I hope it's getting better!!! and that's a CRAZY amount of people to cook for!!! :faint:

Have a godo night!! :)

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Oh no Patsfan!!! I hope things get better!

[CathrynRose]

Ok, enough venting. I have to go peel a million potatoes and carrotts. Talk to you all tonight! Take care, and don't let your sons bump their heads! :scared1:



Ahhh man - Im sorry. My son's have bumped their heads a zillion times. :sad1:

Dont sweat it - do what you can and relax about it. :hug:

One time Danny was playing with Joey and running through the house and I saw him run past the doorway, and I heard a HUGE THUD. And I waited.... and waited ... and then the most blood curdling cry began. :eek: I was thinking maybe if I didnt say anything he'd get up and be fine. He looked like a cro-magnum man.... a ginourmous forhead. Poor thing.

And your son's only one - wait. Youll be visiting the ER, Doctor and Walgreens for first aid things more then you can ever imagine!

:hug: I am sorry you are having a bummer of a day.
Send the visitors to my house, nobody ever visits me. I think its because they know how much I like my "space." I'm really not that scary of a person am I?
I hope your evening gets better! Take care!

DH ran to the store to get some french bread since i forgot to tell him on his way home!!

Watermelon slices for Dessert!

we're sitting down in about 10 minutes, so i was just bored! :bored:

[dreamergirl78]

Not sure what's for dinner. We might go over to a friend's house for dinner. Ryan's tummy isn't feeling good, but I think he is better. I think he wanted time in front of the TV! :rolleyes:
Sounds good Michelle!

Better luck next time! :laughing:

[Patsfan7]

DMM, yours sounded so YUMMYYYYY!!!!! And WAY more healthy than mine! Nothing we ever eat is healthy!

I made chicken with Ah-so sauce, roasted potatoes with onion, garlic, rosemary olive oil, and S&P... rice pilaf, corn on the cob, carrots with cinnamin sugar (i didn't know I didn't have any more brown sugar, but they came out WAY better than usual) and a big caesar salad. I brought over hoodsies (there is an egg/peanut allergy in the other family) and the grandmother made an awesome chocolate cake! (i had two slices... so that counter ain't gonna be movin anytime soon!)

The cake was for my birthday, and my Dear Friend had three presents for me! Awesome Jammies, Socks, and a Ralph Lauren pocketbook for the summer! I was so psyched!

Sean managed to fall off of his dinner chair and bump his head and chin. :rolleyes: :rolleyes1 :sad2:

Glad you are all so chatty lately! I love having something to read when I get to the computer!!!! Whacha' all watchin' tonight?

I should have invited you Rhonda... but it was at my friend's house. I just put everything in tupperware or I have those pyrex things that you can carry hot food in, and I bring it up there because she has a larger area for eating! Plus, her house isn't as messy as mine!!!;)

Have a good evening all, I hope to pop back on after 11 if I am still downstairs!

[Patsfan7]

Thank you all for your words of encouragement with regard to the boy! He is such a handful. A VERY GOOD BOY, sweet and loving, but man, is he a daredevil! :upsidedow

This is what we call Gabriel "the boy"

When Sal calls it's always "AUGHH THE BOY has just done this"
THe boy just ate this
The boy just fell on this
the boy just climbed on this!

I posted this question to CAT last week i believe and she told me he was normal just a BOY :) :lmao: hahaha! it's amazing how different they are!

At least we named him a name that i can handle yelling over and over again as he falls through the air! :laughing:

Oh, yeah, I got mine a couple of weeks ago. Verrrry nice. But for some reason, Disney thinks my name is Sarah Willis :confused3
Fortunately, somehow, even with that name and an incomplete apartment number, my mail carrier knew it was mine :) which reminds me, I have got to call the post office and commend him.

I'm just waiting for the day when "Sarah Willis" gets a PIN code... that's gonna be an interesting conversation with CRO :teeth:

You dont need help - I *was* like that too with Joey and am sorta-kinda still like that with Danny ....HOWEVER be warned, the attitude is coming. I know, I know... you think it wont, it will though. So, Danny is no where near the attitude level of Joey (I still have guilt-control on my side) but he is snippy at times.

And if you wear them down, Ill make you some more! :cloud9:

WTH have you been?

That's sad that you can't just vent and say what you want to. :(

[dreamergirl78]

Morning all!
I have to go help a friend, so I got up earlier, and then I needed my DIS fix... so here I am.
But now I gotta go... blah. I will be back later!

What cd's are you hooked on? I'm nosey, sorry.

[julsmom]

Morning Tia! The CDs are from the disney world soundtrack. Park music. I am so addicted.

Uh, are you a gourmet chef?

We had rotisseree chicken we picked off the chicken with a fork. Then I took some lettuce that was a week past the sell by date and poured some light ranch dressing over it. For my 3rd course I heated up 1/2 cup (cooked) pasta and poured some tomato sauce over it.

[Patsfan7]

I'm just waiting for the day when "Sarah Willis" gets a PIN code... that's gonna be an interesting conversation with CRO :teeth:

Does he know you are a LITTLE addicted to Disney???? :lmao: It is scary how much your postman knows about you (meaning all of us) My mom used to sort mail, and I guess you do get to know who gets what. I was so embarrassed around the postman when DH was on unemployment! I knew he knew.

HAHAAH! i mean i have family members lurking on the DIS that are reading what i say about them everywhere i post!!

I know my brother and SIL are on the boards. I don't say a word. Not that there would be anything to say:rolleyes1 At one point I did make a post on the technical board as to how to have another sign in name... you just have to get rid of the cookies, and have another email address to use. I just wanted to be able to speak freely if I had occasion to wish to. I haven't done it yet. By the way, I have NEVER heard/read you speak ill of anyone! You know you are my "yeah, in a perfect world" mother/wife!

I just dropped Jul off at school and I already miss her. I need help. :sad2:

Cat, Jul and I listen to those CDs so much I am scared I am going to wear them out!!

I miss Sarah when she has school too. I know this is TERRIBLE, and we have NEVER done it, but I often ask her if she wants me to call her in sick... she always says NO, because she LOVES school, but I am so selfish I want her all to myself! And, she only goes three days a week for a few hours!!!! I am so nervous as to how I will cope with her gone five days a week... thank goodness next year is still only half days!!!!:sad2:

Ok, so I am off to shop today.... now don't get excited... I just need white tap shoes. Sarah's rehersal is tomorrow/recital sat. I don't know if I told you all this before, but S has black tap shoes, (grew out of the white during the dance year!) She goes to two dance schools, and you never know what color they want the shoes for the recital till a few weeks before... so of course one school wants white, the other tan! What are the odds? Murphy odds, thats the odds! hee hee hee Funny.

Nanu-good luck with that offer on your house today! Hope everything works out!

QOTH: What kind of house do you live in, and what do you like/not like about it?

I live in a colonial. I like that the bedrooms are upstairs. (two bedrooms) BUT, if we make the office into the boy's room, then he will be on the first floor. What I don't like about it is that the rooms are very separate. It is not open concept and that is what I would like. (of course I mean that is what I do/don't like about a colonial....I really don't like the flood in the basement when it comes either, but that is just about this house!) Everyone says that we should "just knock down the wall between the LR and DR, but they don't realize that is where all the plumbing/electric goes up to the second floor, and that the chimney from the heating system is in that wall. Oh well. We would love to move, and have been 'looking' but finacially, we should stay where we are. The school system is one of the top ten in the state, and we were lucky to be able to buy when we did, so it is kind of affordable at this point. BUT, I would like to know what you like/don't like about your type of house so that when we do get serious about moving I know what others think the pros and cons are to the types of houses we are looking at.

Ok, I have bent your eyes for long enough... bye for now! Have great days everyone!:cool1:

[Nanu57v]

DUNNN DUDDDAA DUNNNN DUNNN DUNNNNNN...



It's only my ILs, but it's kinda wierd anyways!

Yes, I worried about that too, like the whole TTC (not ticket & transportation center) thing I didn't want my parents to know about. But its a buddy group. I don't think normal people would read over what I posted on a buddy group.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

THAT would bug me. I feel like we need to be able to talk, vent, whatever here safely. Bummer. What are they saying/ doing to act differently?

Mornin all!

I'm totally annoyed, and i don't know how they found me. But this one person in particular isacting really quiet and strange and never calls anymore and verrrrry distant!! the other person is trying to copy my vacay dates, even though i NEVER EVER gave them the right ones!! i totally lied, but somehow they know the dates and the flights we are on :faint:

[Nanu57v]

Patsfan---I hope your day is going better today.


The guy is stopping by here at work at 1 to give me the offer!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Jen, i think i will die when i have to take the babies to school1 :faint: at least i will have 2 at home when Autumn goes and then 1 at home and then finally none :sad: okay i can't think about it anymore!!! :laughing:

We have to go to an open house at the 2 private schools we are debating between sending Autumn to. One is a 3yr pre-school and the 2nd one is 4 yr. I am almost positive i don't want her to go until 4, but we will see :)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Uh, are you a gourmet chef?



:lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2:

NOT EVEN CLOSE! not even a little bit!!! my parents would have peed their pants by now!! haha! When i got married, i had noo clue at all what i was doing! i have never even been near a stove! ( I can't believe Sal married me!! but he loves to cook so it's all good!!) well after awhile i figured it was time to learn, so i bought loads of cook books and it's soooo easy following everythign step by step :) i'm even thinking of taking some cooking classes at the local community college :)

QOTD: What are your fave shops for each park?

MK: Emporium (but also love Tinkerbell's Treasures)
Let me think a sec for the others.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

QOTH: What kind of house do you live in, and what do you like/not like about it?


We live in a condo/townhome complex. We have a townhome that is too small! it has 4 bedrooms and the basement, but the nursery is closet sized and the playroom is off of the dining room, which i find really wierd! Oh and we only have a 1 car garage, that gets annoying for DH who has to maneuver the cars around if we take the van out in the evening or if lazy me just leaves it in the driveway when he gets home from work!! We lack storage space big TIME!! But it's in a GREAT neighborhood, where the houses NEVER go for sale and we've been looking!! This is the best neighborhood in Rockford and it's within walking distance to one of the private schools!! sO we want to stay in this neighborhood, BUT unless you are in this complex it's full of OLD PEOPLE..like 70s and 80s....sooo needless to say they aren't moving out any time soon :)

Each and every time a house goes for sale we pounce on it and our offer never even makes it to the table the houses sell so fast :( oh and some are smaller than what we have! :lmao: sooo like i said few and far between!

alright sorry i talked so long!!

Epcot: MouseGears
MGM: Mickey's of Hollywood
AK: I cannot think of what it's called

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

You should build.


There are no lots, it's just a neighborhood that is pretty established, so building is not an option, unless we leave the neighborhood :( and Since this is GHETT-O Rockford, there are not many neighborhoods that we want to live in! :laughing: This one is safe and comfortable and within walking/driving distance to eVERYTHING!! and the best part is, that it is 5 minutes from the Hwy which is a MUST for Sal, since he commutes an hour each way :)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

MK: The Emporium, but sometimes i love the store in Tomorrow Land! it has a lot of Stitch stuff and i call DS Stitch! (his badness level is waaaay high!)

AK: Creature COmforts (the cutest stuff for little ones!)

Epcot: Mousegears!!

MGM: The TOT store! i LOVE IT!!! and the Muppet store, attached to it is a little store that sells Maternity Tees and baby stuff!! :cloud9:

Bummer. You will have to figure out something for more space. What about moving closer to sal's work?

I don't want to move anywhere out of where we are. I love everything about living out here and away from the Chicago suburbs! different kind of people out here and sooo much more house for the money :) the 4 bedrooms is more than enough esp with the full basement, and 99% of the time i don't want to leave :( so we will keep waiting for something to open up :) i always tell Sali don't compromise on my dreams, i just wait for them to happen :)

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

QOTH: What kind of house do you live in, and what do you like/not like about it?

I unfortunately still live with my parents. Ugh... I need to move out!

I like to shop at disney.

QOTD: What are your fave shops for each park?

MK: Emporium (but also love Tinkerbell's Treasures)
Let me think a sec for the others.

I really don't have any fave shops. I just go in, look around and get what I want.

[ANTSS2001]

Good morning.... woke up hearing Alice in wonderland's voice in my living room... forgot that I have some of my tribe with me since last nite when I got home from work... no work and no shopping this morning.. just making a big breakfast for the tribe...

G'morning Jen and Michelle and Tia :wave: and Nicole ....

[CathrynRose]

Cat, I totally don't picture you as a homeschoolin' mom. I'm coveting that camera now.

:confused: I sound like Marge Simpson and wouldnt homeschool?!? WHAT is it exactly I look like?!?!? :confused3 :rotfl:

I know - that camera is making me dream about it. I have a crush on a camera.

Oh, so that's why I couldn't find it. They have one for 244, not as cool...did you see it?

They still have it - at $315

HAHAAH! i mean i have family members lurking on the DIS that are reading what i say about them everywhere i post!!


???????

Morning all!


What cd's are you hooked on? I'm nosey, sorry.

Youll find out. ;)

I'm totally annoyed, and i don't know how they found me. But this one person in particular isacting really quiet and strange and never calls anymore and verrrrry distant!! the other person is trying to copy my vacay dates, even though i NEVER EVER gave them the right ones!! i totally lied, but somehow they know the dates and the flights we are on :faint:


Id stop talking about it - for real - if I were you. They'll get bored. :thumbsup2



Bummer. You will have to figure out something for more space. What about moving closer to sal's work?

Reading my mind. Why dont you move closer?

[CathrynRose]

G'morning Jen and Michelle and Tia :wave: and Nicole ....


:guilty: :sad1:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Reading my mind. Why dont you move closer?

Not an option as i mentioned before :) i love soo much about being out here and i have family out here too :) and it's a safe distance away from all our 'crazy' family that we're not expected everywhere every single weekend!! :woohoo:

But mainly it's the more house for the money mentality :) our new townhome is having us live Waaaaayyyy below our means and a mortgage on a house in the area even if it was a bit bigger than what we have now would be smaller than what we pay here!!! This is how we can afford to do soo much and have so mucha and for me to stay home :) We also have 3 college savings accounts, a travel savings account and private school for 2 or the 3 kids saved for a few years :) it's amazing how much more money we had when we moved out here :) sooo needless to say i'm in love hahaah! oh and i'm still hopign that the next BIG move is out of state!!! :yay:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

G'morning Jen and Michelle and Tia and Nicole ....

And what song are you looking for? I have good luck finding stuff! :rotfl: And if you want Disney stuff - if you click on mine, and then view all friends and click on SOunds from the Park friend - he has a ton to choose from.

[julsmom]

I would worry that with 3 lil ones in a smaller place, I would get restless.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

it's not a big deal, with 4 bedrooms everyone still has their own room and then the playroom is still there, since that used to be the den :) we just have to move the office into the basement, which is no biggie, since we don't use it enough! hahaha :)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I ALMOST said that about her neighbors should be dropping like flies, soon enough.



:lmao: Sal is the one that said we should scout the obits on sunday and then head over to check out the house if it's the neighborhood :sad2: he's crazy! hahah!

"SHow me, show me you really love me - actions speak louder than words!" LOL!

I went to a club that Stevie B was playing at - when I was 16 - totally flirted with the bouncer, got in, got drinkS all night, and dont remember the show at all. Ended up poop-faced drunk in the bathroom.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Alright breakfast is over and the dishes are cleaned and the living room has been tidied, so we are off now! Baths and then today we are coloring Easter Eggs! have a good one!

[julsmom]

ME JEALOUS!!!!!:headache: :rolleyes1

We have a sunroom too. It is a four season... it has heat, but electric heat that costs $200/mo, so we don't use it in the winter... time to get back out there! Sarah calls it the "castle" well... HER castle!

What's everyone putting in the Easter basket?

[BethC1952]

Hi, everybody!

Just checking in to get caught up here. I'm trying to get caught up at work and in RL. It's amazing how much stuff doesn't get done when you're away from home for two weeks!

As for questions--

I live in an old house which was originally a summer vacation place a hundred years ago (really!). It was expanded and enlarged over the years, and now has five bedrooms (one is in the basement, and one is a summer-only room because it has no heat). It's on a half-acre lot, which is really rare here in town these days! It's got a name--"The Barn House", called that because it's barn red. It's a funny place. If you come down my street from one direction, you can't see it at all, it's hidden by huge holly bushes and gigantic trees. If you come from the other direction, the entire house is exposed. For some reason, there are only trees on the south and east sides! We share it with our son, his wife, their daughter, three dogs, four cats (and, up until a week before we went on vacation 11 kittens), two guinea pigs, a hamster and a fish.

Favorite stores--

MK - No favorite, love them all!
Epcot - Store in China
MGM - The Villain Store (can't remember the actual name)
Animal Kingdom - No favorite, love them all

I'll check back in again after I get through the huge mountain of paperwork on my desk!

[ANTSS2001]

Where do you find songs for your myspace page? My page is just so blah. I want to put some more stuff on there.

Nicole.. dont think its just blah there are some of us... meaning me who cannot maneuver myspace... I end up at bloggerspot... :the odd egg in the bunch" :sad:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

What's everyone putting in the Easter basket?

ahh mine are done! :woohoo:
I have a whole bunch of toys and snacks for the plane rides all inside mickey and minnie backpacks :) Then their baskets have some Melissa & doug puzzles and those lacing wood beads and strings by Melissa & doug :) the eggs are full of Disney Dollars. :woohoo: i'm soo happy to finally be done! It was supposed to just be the backpacks, butthen we got carried away as always! I'm thinking of shrink wrapping them and then putting on a big fancy bow, but we'll see.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Where did you get the Mickey/Minnie backpacks?

I love Melissa and Doug stuff for Jul. Good stuff.

Jul's:
Blonde My Disney Girl doll (remember I posted pics?)
My little ponies (one with a big light up skirt)
A personalized "Julia" Ariel bag from disneyshopping
Donald and Daisy beanies (we have sooo many character beanies)
Princess socks. Tink socks.


She has the Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine costumes that are supposed to go w/ the Disney Girl doll (we put them on her AG dolls) and Grandma and Grandpa are getting her the Cinderella and Belle costumes for the doll. I am so excited.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Where did you get the Mickey/Minnie backpacks?



Disney merchandising from the WORLD! i saw them last year and regret not buying them! haha so i ordered them! i got them in time for Easter, so i figured i will use them for that! :laughing:

[julsmom]

Alas - My children no longer believe in the Easter Bunny. And you know the saying 'if you dont believe they will not come'

;)

That's what I told jul about that mean little 6 year old who's father (!!) told her there was no Santa. I told jul "if she doesn't believe I guess he won't come to her house then." Jul believes. :)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Guys i think i believed in Santa until highschool! i'm such a dork! hahahahah!!

But for real, my parents still give everyone gifts from santa! i love it! and they usually are the best gifts!!! :woohoo:

We all still get easter baskets too :)

[dreamergirl78]

Morning Tia! The CDs are from the disney world soundtrack. Park music. I am so addicted.

Ohhhh... where did you get those? I may have to do an amazon search!
Sounds awesome!

[dreamergirl78]

:Youll find out. ;)


curiouser and curiouser :confused:

[Nanu57v]

I still get an Easter basket. I don't think we'll give one to DD though. She can find eggs in our mud pit we have out back (no grass yet). Actually I'm kidding, we'll do an egghunt elsewhere. I don't let DD have any candy (unless she goes on the potty), and I'm no good at saving toys for events, (like I just bought her some wooden blocks).

QOTH--We used to live in a townhouse condo. 2-3 bedroom (one bedroom in finished basement). 900 sq feet above ground, 1350 sq ft total living space. Too tiny. Our new house is 2855 sq feet (we over compensated). Its two-story Colonial with a 3-car garage. Plenty big. 1/2 acre lot with lots of dirt. We went kind of overboard. Its got 4 bd, 2.5 baths.

TTC--Michelle, do you really not know or are you just being sarcastic like julsmom was? The first word is trying...does that help?

[Nanu57v]

Hey, I'm almost at 1500 posts. I think I get an award then, right?

My mom is having the hunt at their house! i'm so excited! haha!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

TTC--Michelle, do you really not know or are you just being sarcastic like julsmom was? The first word is trying...does that help?


ahhh i get it now!!!!! i really didn't!!!! but thanks for clarifying :)

[dreamergirl78]

Holy crickey ladies. You are chatty this morning!

So, we live in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom single family brick home on a corner lot. It's a decent house. Not my ideal, but then again, we can't afford what I really want.... so this will have to make due for another year or so.

Favorite stores? I kinda like them all for different reasons. Although the German store in WS is heaven to me. Last time I went in there I even spoke a little Deutsch with the CMs there. They played along and said I did pretty good. I am sure after I left they laughed, but whatever.

Dinner for tonight... I am going to a Pampered Chef party so I will eat there. Ry is going to a friend's and he will eat there. Wooo Hoooo no cooking!

I got to talk to Terry off and on for about an hour and a half yesterday. The phone was not being used so he would call, we would talk for 15 minutes, get cut off and he would call back. It was great to be able to talk about silly stuff instead of the Hi, I love you, be safe, and do you need anything conversation. We decided not to go to Europe in November. We both agree we don't want to deal with it being super cold. And we are also scared that they may do a last minute change to his leave (it happens all the time) and we would be out a lot of money. So I think we will do it sometime next year after he is home.

Hmmmm... what else? Oh if you need help with myspace, let me know. It's super easy and I think it is fun too!

K, off to check my e-mail. I have 3 shows that I need to close out and I am waiting on a few last minute orders!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

i finally got around to taking the charms of my Juicy perfume and i put them on my cell phone! i love it! i've had a naked cell for too long! go figure!!

[kaytieeldr]

Yes, I worried about that too, like the whole TTC (not ticket & transportation center) thing I didn't want my parents to know about. But its a buddy group. I don't think normal people would read over what I posted on a buddy group. Oh? Are you saying the people in your buddy group are not normal? :umbrella: ;)

Sal is the one that said we should scout the obits on sunday and then head over to check out the house if it's the neighborhood he's crazy! hahah! Nah, he’s just a Seinfeld fan :teeth:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Tia, sounds like a fun night!!! :cheer2:

[dreamergirl78]

Oh and Easter baskets... Ry still believes in Santa, Easter Bunny, etc. I want him to believe as long as possible, however I think my time may be running out. My Mom is sending some goodies from Williams Sonoma for his basket. I will do some chocolates and a few small gifts. Nothing major because he gets so much anyway.

[julsmom]

Tia, how old is Ryan?

[ANTSS2001]

DO you want help getting your MySpace up and running?
would love to!!! my problem is I dont have any patience... and hate looking at "html" :sad:

[ANTSS2001]

Get a myspace page!!! Really it is not to hard, I am computer illiterate and I have one! :rotfl:

I do have one... its also antss2001 .. but everytime I try to update it it does not conform... the one I got now is the blogger spot and it is just a point and click process really great for the none techie peeps like me....:sad1:

[ANTSS2001]

Hmmmm... what else? Oh if you need help with myspace, let me know. It's super easy and I think it is fun too!




Ok got you and Cat are in myline up.

Well, youre gonna have to share your password with either me or Tia, via email - and tell us what you want.... then after we're done you can reset it.

Lets get moving! ;)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Blahh it's amazing how this yucky weather actually inspired me to get more done around the house today than normal!! I bought some eco-friendly products to clean the bathroom with (i am NOT one of those people, but with the pregnancy i couldn't use the harsh chemicals) and i got the counters done in the kids bathroom and mine and then did the floors in the kids and mine, DH needs to do his own! hahaah!! (and he has to do the tubs/toilets) i DO NOT touch those!

I even reorganized the DVDs back into alphabetical order in our entertainment center and in the playrooms!!! i like when i get around to little tasks that i normally leave to DH!! :)

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Thank you for the recipe Michelle!


I don't get anything for Easter anymore. I just buy some Dove truffles and that is my present to myself!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

it's always nice to treat yourself :)

DH and I usually get each other a little something and i'm not sure what to get him this year.

[dreamergirl78]

Tia, how old is Ryan?

He is 9 going on 30. ;)

I totally get not using harsh chemicals. I have done away with 95% of my cleaning products. I bought a steamer that is used for hard surfaces. I use it on the bathrooms, floors, kitchen, windows, etc, etc. It is awesome and you are using water so it is completely friendly to kids, pets, yourself, and so forth. I bought mine on HSN and it was one of the best (and most efficient) purchases I have ever made!

[dreamergirl78]

Thank you for the recipe Michelle!

I uaully treat myself to a little something too. Easter is not a big deal in my house so I don't get all crazy with gift buying. Plus Terry and I are known for "treating ourselves" on a regualr basis. I used to be super tight and never spend money on myself... yeah that's been thrown out the window! :laughing: I think it is good for your soul to give a little something something to yourself now and then. At least that's what I tell myself. Good justification right? ;)

[dreamergirl78]

Another QUESTION OF THE DAY...
I was thinking about this on my way to Dillards.

What ring tones do you have on your cell phone?
Here are some of mine:

Beastie Boys - So Whatcha Want for Terry and Ryan
NKOTB (yes I am pathetic) - The Right Stuff for one of my best friends
Harry Potter for text messages
Debbie Gibson - Lost In Your Eyes for voicemail (sad and pathetic again I know)
I had Crazy B**** for another friend but I got ticked and deleted it :laughing:
And the theme for Sex and the City (but it expired)

Ryan only is allowed to have one. So he chose Black Eyed Peas Hey Mama

Terry has Indiana Jones and the Imperial March (that I know of)

[CathrynRose]

Another QUESTION OF THE DAY...
I was thinking about this on my way to Dillards.

What ring tones do you have on your cell phone?


Good Question!!!

My Phone:
Jim - Fantasmic
Danny - Under the Sea (dont know why I picked this one for him :rotfl: )
Joey - Bare Necessities (He used to dance and sing that one when he was cute and little and not an icky teenager!!)
"Friends" - Mickey Mouse Club March
Anyone else / Default - Chim Chimeree, from Mary Poppins

But I have been eyeballing Careless Whisper...it sounds really good as a ring tone, and so does Galaga!!! They have a Galaga one, with the space ship flying down and everything!! Sounds perfect!! Might change Chim Chim!

Jims Phone:
EVeryone: Halloween theme. You should see some people when it rings in public places. LOL

Joey's Phone:
My Love - Justin Timberlake.... I wish he'd change it. Im sick of it.

Danny's Phone:
"Friends" - Free Bird ??? (He plays Guitair Hero too much!!!)
"Family" - Yo Ho, Yo ho - Pirates Life

[julsmom]

Is there not a gift shop for Soarin'?

[CathrynRose]

Is there not a gift shop for Soarin'?

Yeah there is.

Its not a shop...but to the left of the entrance there's a stand with all the basics (shirts, pins, etc)

[julsmom]

So who is next to go? Antss? In a couple of weeks?

Then DMM, then Cat?

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

evening ladies! not sure what we are up to right now, but i just had some freecycle pick ups and i looove getting rid of junk!!

:eek: it is like a warzone here at work right now... 2 just got written up for a mistake and now everybody is not talking to anybody :faint: off to dinner I go...

Another QUESTION OF THE DAY...
I was thinking about this on my way to Dillards.

What ring tones do you have on your cell phone?
Here are some of mine:

Beastie Boys - So Whatcha Want for Terry and Ryan
NKOTB (yes I am pathetic) - The Right Stuff for one of my best friends
Harry Potter for text messages
Debbie Gibson - Lost In Your Eyes for voicemail (sad and pathetic again I know)
I had Crazy B**** for another friend but I got ticked and deleted it :laughing:
And the theme for Sex and the City (but it expired)

Ryan only is allowed to have one. So he chose Black Eyed Peas Hey Mama

Terry has Indiana Jones and the Imperial March (that I know of)


I have the regular phone ringer for everything but the txt messages (frog croaking) and unwanted calls like from family, boss, co workers etc and it is the OLD NOKIA tune why... well if anybody here remember that scene in the movie Jurrasic part where Dino swallowed the phone and when it rang... you can hear it coming from a pile of sh1t :lmao: so thats what it reminds me dont answer it's just about sh1t :rotfl:

Now that's funny. I need one of those... for all of those crappy (pun intended) calls I just don't wanna answer! :lmao:

ANTSSS!!!

Wonderful !LOLOLOLOL!! That is so freaking funny.

ANd we've all been tense at work too - it's been a nightmare.


ABLATION UPDATE - you know, in 2 days it will be 2 weeks, and I had stopped bleeding and it was kinda mucus-ey.... I'm bleeding again today but nothing even comparable to before BUT (my complaint, thus far)

Serious CRAMPS! I mean, I got cramps before, but these are different and *deep*. And just BAD! So, everytime it cramps up (and it's an odd cramp, like it comes and goes....contractioney...not like a steady cramps...)so when it cramps up, it's rough and really painful - and I think "Ummm, okay - Ill finally be done with my period in what, 20 years?!? my 50's?? (my mom still got hers until age 50 and finally had a hysterectomy)"

This sucks - I dont wanna end up having to have a hyster but heck I went from bleeding like Niagra Falls - OFTEN, to having really bad cramps - OFTEN! WTH?!?! Its just not fair. :guilty:

SO - unless i find a doctor willing to hook me up with narcotics all the time, if this goes on being crampy (and again, a weird crampy...I didnt cramp like this before, or this often? for no reason) Im going to have to think about the hyster. :sad2:


OH and - Im puffy...my tummy is really bloated, and puffy feeling (and looking!)

I know - I know - its only been 2 weeks, but wth. Again, I just was really hoping for a miracle. :guilty:
