12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 7

[becka]

Allie is doing better but we forgot her antibiotics last night and again this morning. Plus the meds didn't get to daycare so she will miss 24 hours of medicine. I hope we don't set her back. Her nose finally has cleared up. Last night was the first time she went to bed without a decongestant in over two weeks.

[MrsMork]

I'll help. And by the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ribs, bones and all. Also love fried chicken, bones intact. And nothing makes me happier than chewing on the bone from a ribeye steak

[pyramid2000]

I went home yesterday and got all of the stuff ready for those Mickey burgers so all DH had to do was throw them on the grill. Before DH even gets home with the kids my BF from Kansas City calls and tells me they are going to be in town within the hour and wanted to know if we could get together.

I ended up quickly making a cheese quesadilla for DS and DD to share so they could eat dinner and we packed the kids up and headed over to Bonkers to play. DH took DD home about 8:00 which is way past her bedtime but she had fun. She was just too tired to continue. I stayed with DS until they closed at 9:00 so he could play some more with my BF's boys.

Sounds like fun! I miss my BF. :guilty: I can't even call her in the morning now because she is 3 hours behind...

You go girl!! :woohoo:

[MrsMork]

Post, post, post

[becka]

Since I didn't eat anything for dinner I was starving by about 8:00 so I headed to the snack bar at Bonkers...lots of healthy choices there. :rolleyes: Anyway I ended up ordering the jalapeno poppers and just this morning figured up the points. At appoximately 4 points a piece with 7 pieces they were 28 points! Ouch! Of course then I used just a little ranch dressing with them so there was another 4 points. It was a good thing I still had 19 points left yesterday before that snack and I still had all of my flex points!

[MrsMork]

I need to get to work. I have to call the wife of one of our patients that is a grumpy, grumpy woman - and demanding too! OY. I have dealt with this one for years and am dreading the call.

[pyramid2000]

I'm glad she is feeling better Becka. How is she taking medicine? Oldest DD was fine, but it has gone hill from there. :faint: Actually it is my 7 yr old who would give me the hardest time.

[becka]

It looks like we are going to the KC Renaissance Festival this weekend and we may end up staying with DH's parents. If we do we will go to his parents on Friday night, go to Ren Fest on Saturday, stay at DH's parents Sat. night and come back on Sunday. We will probably miss 30,000. :(

[pyramid2000]

Almost there!!

[MrsMork]

We should be there now and I can get to work!

[becka]

DD loves medicine more than she likes candy! It is a little strange.

Aarrrgggghhhh! pirate:

:woohoo: 28,000!!!!

[MrsMork]

40 sec will get me. Congrats to someone! pirate:

[pyramid2000]

Yeah pirate: Becka!!

[pyramid2000]

Good luck with your phone call Angie!! :wave:

[becka]

That was fun but now back to work.... :(

[MrsMork]

Becka, another couple of days like the last two and we may make 30,000 before the weekend! :surfweb: pirate:

[pyramid2000]

You don't leave til Friday?? When was your last calculation for? We can get there before then for you! ;)

[pyramid2000]

It's less than 500 per day! No sweat! :moped:

[pyramid2000]

Has anyone ever noticed there is "related threads" box at the bottom of the page? I just did and mine says:

"Unusual" MK Parade Question
"Resale Shops" - Where to find?
"Deadbeat Dads" ( or moms )
Special "beer" report
"Formal" night on 3 and 4 night cruises

Is this what they think we are talking about??? :lmao: :lmao:
Or is from our Geek name?? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[pyramid2000]

I need to go and get DD. :moped: If I don't get back, have a great day!! :wave:

[MommyMinnie]

But then we all know that the length of the weapon that is not necessarily more important as one's skill in using that weapon. :faint:

Am I the only one a little shocked that ANGIE is the one saying this? I expect it from V or Brandi, etc.. but not from our dear sweet Angie! What have we done to her? :rotfl2: ;)
Remember how many children and grandchildren Angie has. :rotfl:

[tynkerbell]

I am with you Lisa - I have never had anything dry in the crock pot! :confused3

I've had things come out dry quite often. I think it's if I cook it on high for too long or use too large of a crockpot. I bought a smaller one and it seems to work better when I make the chicken breasts. Also cooking on low helps.

[MommyMinnie]

My DD might want to chat too.
Bring her on! I'm going to feel safer with my DD doing E-mails than Disboarding (too public). I'll try to get her to Email some kind of opening to your girl at your address tonight.

FYI I was trying to look up tween hairstyles last night looking for something to do with her hair on formal night and Woo Hoo! Don't try that Google search without some kind of porno block!

[tynkerbell]

I almost said oh I'll just wait since I was feeling better and then started feeling crappy again and guess what the visit showed..drum roll...pneumonia.

I'm so glad you went! That happened to me once. I had this really awful cough that I couldn't shake but I kept ignoring it, figuring it would finally let up but I broke out in this really bad case of hives. These hives were bigger than 50 cent pieces and they itched so bad that DH finally told me to go to quick care. While there the doctor heard me cough and insisted on a chest xray and found pneumonia! Scary stuff.

I'm glad you're on the mend now. :goodvibes

[tynkerbell]

Oh and may I just say Z-pak bites the big one. I know this stuff works but the side effects - I thought I'd have at least a day. It's like add insult to injury.

:sad2: I have such a hard time on antibiotics. If it's your stomach make sure to eat a little something when you take it and eat lots of yogurt while you're on it.

[BuzzBoyMom]

Holy Cow - so many of you were here for the 28 milestone and then you all dis-da-peared (as my son says).

Gosh - I was stuck in a morning long meeting and now I'm wolfing down lunch to head to a VTC all afternoon. boo hoo!

Karen, I've noticed we scatter like dust in the wind after a milestone. I guess the work just takes it out of us.

[pjpoohbear]

Pj, You can get a few foils done at any salon (try 10 to start) and that will give you alot of blond highlight and look really natural as it grows in. It will look great with your now darker hair.

DD and I have been getting highlights for about 4-5 yrs now and it really adds some depth/illusion of volume (through color variation) to hair.

Kristin, I don't need no more volume. Oy! I have so much hear with a wave and it is fine, so If I were to blow dry it, it takes 45 mins. So I don't. It goes up in a twist held by a clip and dries naturally. You will get to see the puffy hair on the cruise, lol :crazy: .

Every 6 months my salon has a free highlight special, just foils on top, and I have chickened out twice, but will get a cut in October and get the highlights this time.

Pj

[becka]

Well I was hoping my car would be ready to pick up around lunch but I just called and it sounds like it will be later today. I guess that means I am doing lunch here at work. I know I need to be good today so maybe I will just grab a salad.

I am getting a bit of a headache and I am not real sure why. I only had about ½ can of Diet Pepsi this morning so maybe I just need some more caffeine or maybe it is just a hunger headache.

When I got home last night I did watch that Brothers & Sisters show that was on after DH. It was pretty interesting but I spent the first 45 minutes just trying to keep everyone straight. I am still not sure I have everyone straight. It was interesting enough that I think I will at least record it this next week to watch. If it is a good show and if I continue to watch Studio 60 that will mean that I will have added 2 new hours of TV each week! :faint: Of course since they put My Name is Earl on against Survivor that is actually ½ hour less so my net would still be 90 minutes additional per week.

Did anyone mention that we only have 73 days left until we cruise? It is actually getting close enough that I am thinking I need to come up with some way to let the kids “count” down the days. I was thinking of a paper chain or something that they could tear off each night or maybe a sticker chart with 70 boxes and they can put a Disney sticker on each night? We all know it can’t be anything too crafty! :lmao:

[becka]

I was thinking about getting the blonde highlights in my hair again just before we cruise. I am going to be at the salon a lot before the cruise. I want my hair done plus I have my birthday manicure/pedicure. :)

[pjpoohbear]

funny girl!!




and back to the hair. Used to be during the summer, mine would get blonde streaks all on its own....now that I have to be a grown up and have a job, not so much.


Same here, it was family thing. I go them around the face. My older cousin got a streak down the underside at the back, looked very cool in a ponytail.

Pj

[Jhalkias]

Has anyone ever noticed there is "related threads" box at the bottom of the page? I just did and mine says:

"Unusual" MK Parade Question
"Resale Shops" - Where to find?

OK - I saw that last night and meant to comment on it, but got too tired.

Lisa - is this something new, or did we just never notice?

BTW - mine also lists "Mature Couples" - I don't think I like what they are trying to tell me . . . I think of myself as more "immature".

Congrats Becka pirate:

John1

[MommyMinnie]

Becka,
I have a countdown chain and it is depressingly long. DD isn't even interested in ripping off links with me.

[MommyMinnie]

Oh Becka!
Before our last cruise, we counted down by watching a different Disney movie every day.

[klineyqueen]

So there is another one who does not like bones in their food. DH is like that. He claims he can't figure out how to get the meat off the bones. I just think it is laziness! I really just cannot understand this for the life of me and it makes grocery shopping much more expensive when you can only buy boneless chicken breasts rather than just getting a chicken.
It isn't lazinesss....who on earth wants to see a nasty bone on their plate!

[87Heel]

So the dividing line between the twins grows: Now, in addition to crafts, meat with bones stands between them!

[klineyqueen]

Are you sure you are not already pegged as a total nut to your family? ;)
Not a total nut....just a little "off"....

[becka]

It isn't lazinesss....who on earth wants to see a nasty bone on their plate!

Not on the plate - It is like those giant turkey legs and you just hold onto the bone while you eat away at it. ;)

Besides with DH I think it is just laziness. When I buy those grocery store rotessiere chickens that DH likes he claims he doesn't know how to get the meat off of it. :rolleyes:

[klineyqueen]

I DH took DD home about 8:00 which is way past her bedtime but she had fun.
What time do you put your kids in for bed at night?

[klineyqueen]

I'll help. And by the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ribs, bones and all. Also love fried chicken, bones intact. And nothing makes me happier than chewing on the bone from a ribeye steak
OK...I will admit that I like ribs....I can eat meat with bones...I just prefer boneless!!!

[klineyqueen]

Sounds like fun! I miss my BF. :guilty: I can't even call her in the morning now because she is 3 hours behind...
My BF called me from her honeymoon. First question I asked....WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME!!!! Her new DH went to get some beer and she had a min. to call. Second question...DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS HERE....oops...she called at 11:30 PM. I was still awake but she totally forgot about the time change. She had just returned from the beach.

[MommyMinnie]

Not on the plate - It is like those giant turkey legs and you just hold onto the bone while you eat away at it. ;)

Besides with DH I think it is just laziness. When I buy those grocery store rotessiere chickens that DH likes he claims he doesn't know how to get the meat off of it. :rolleyes:
You should see my DH with a rotessiere chicken. It's like watching a caveman eat. He can really pick that carcass clean!

[klineyqueen]

Since I didn't eat anything for dinner I was starving by about 8:00 so I headed to the snack bar at Bonkers...lots of healthy choices there. :rolleyes: Anyway I ended up ordering the jalapeno poppers and just this morning figured up the points.

It was a good thing I still had 19 points left yesterday before that snack and I still had all of my flex points!
YIKES! :eek: I follow the old plan...but that is more than my daily allowence. I have been having a hard time lately. I really need to kick myself in the butt!

[klineyqueen]

It looks like we are going to the KC Renaissance Festival this weekend and we may end up staying with DH's parents. If we do we will go to his parents on Friday night, go to Ren Fest on Saturday, stay at DH's parents Sat. night and come back on Sunday. We will probably miss 30,000. :(
Oh No!!!! I hope you like staying at your inlaws! You are trading a milestone for them! :rotfl: :rotfl:

[klineyqueen]

DD loves medicine more than she likes candy! It is a little strange.

Aarrrgggghhhh! pirate:

:woohoo: 28,000!!!!
Good Pirate Twin!

[klineyqueen]

It's less than 500 per day! No sweat! :moped:
Post people!!! POST!!! We don't want Becca to miss it!;)

[klineyqueen]

I've had things come out dry quite often. I think it's if I cook it on high for too long or use too large of a crockpot. I bought a smaller one and it seems to work better when I make the chicken breasts. Also cooking on low helps.
I never cook on high....I guess that is the "secret."

[klineyqueen]

Bring her on! I'm going to feel safer with my DD doing E-mails than Disboarding (too public). I'll try to get her to Email some kind of opening to your girl at your address tonight.

Patsy....you certainly have a way with words. You always know how to make me laugh!!!!!

[klineyqueen]

Where did everyone go? Am I going to have to post alone??? I really don't want to talk to myself!

[becka]

What time do you put your kids in for bed at night?

DD usually wants to go to bed by 7:00 although sometimes as early as 6:30 she is telling us she wants to sleep. :)

DS has a bedtime of 8:30 and he usually ends up playing for a half hour or so after that but he is supposed to be in bed by 8:30 anyway.

[MommyMinnie]

Where did everyone go? Am I going to have to post alone??? I really don't want to talk to myself!
Brandi, I'm here but I do actually have to work. :rotfl: :rotfl:
Y'all are like my water cooler break people.

It was not good! In the past I always followed the point ranges but the new plan gives you one set point target for each day and then you get 35 "flex" points to use throughout the week as you want or as you need in my case. ;) You can use a few everyday or just blow them all at once if you want to splurge. Everyone gets these 35 points so I took a big chunk out of mine for the week.

[MommyMinnie]

Then again, it would be fun to watch you post 500 all by yourself. :goodvibes

[klineyqueen]

John - I was looking at your linked website. Here is one for the group...in case you didn't check the link.

Just don't get discouraged because of one big splurge! That's what it's there for. Are you going to WW Meetings?

[klineyqueen]

My house is clean and my kids are both napping.....I just might do that! ;)

[MommyMinnie]

Becka,
One more thing on WW. When you get trapped out like that -Keep off the sauce- It'll trip you up everytime! And, it doesn't make you feel any fuller.

[klineyqueen]

I think I am going to upload a few (like 4) more pics to shutterfly. They are having a special. Order 35 pics and get a free 11x13. I took some great shots of my mom and dad with their 5 grandkids last night. Maybe I will get that as my free pic. The offer ends today...

[87Heel]

Well, I just caught up; but I must do some cleaning before I teach CCD this afternoon. So Brandi you're on your own. And if you're uploading photos, you may not be back on either!
Congrats on the milestone, Becka (I think it was Becka, but I'm not going back to check).
There's a dishwasher to unload and more dishes to go in (and rats, the girls in school really messes things up--they usually have dishwasher duty but I can't leave everything until they get home.) One more load of laundry to fold.
Have a great day!

[BuzzBoyMom]

Marielle - me too. Just caught up.

What a busy day for me. I don't like these kind of days at work. I never get anything done and everything else just gets farther and farther behind.

[becka]

Just don't get discouraged because of one big splurge! That's what it's there for. Are you going to WW Meetings?

Yes we just started a WW at Work so my meetings are on Mondays. I am not discouraged (yet!). I am just glad the flex points are there. Because I splurged yesterday it just means I will have less to splurge on at the Ren. Fest. I really want a funnel cake and I think my book said a 6 inch one was 7 points. Of course then you have to have a little sugar with that but I have 22 flex points left for this week so as long as I stick to my target points the rest of the week I should be fine.

[becka]

Becka,
One more thing on WW. When you get trapped out like that -Keep off the sauce- It'll trip you up everytime! And, it doesn't make you feel any fuller.

Does not make me feel any fuller but it does taste soooo good. ;) Actually they gave me this huge tub of dressing and I very sparingly used it. I counted it as a serving (2 T.) at 4 points but I honestly doubt I used a full 2 T of dressing.

[klineyqueen]

Becka,
One more thing on WW. When you get trapped out like that -Keep off the sauce- It'll trip you up everytime! And, it doesn't make you feel any fuller.
The sauce kills you ....unless you make it yourself. But...it is always so tempting and tasty!

[klineyqueen]

My connection is very slow today. I was just kicked off 2 times...URG!!! Oy Boy does that annoy me!

[BuzzBoyMom]

Okay - I have my first PTO Family Festival committee meeting tonight. I sooooo am not in the mood tonight.

Sorry I didn't chat much today.

Happy Tuesday.

[klineyqueen]

My DS just came out...yes he is supposed to be napping and shouted that he has to use the potty. Now my DD is crying!!!!! AAAAHHHH!!!!! I must go and try to get them settled in...or else we will have a very long night!

[pyramid2000]

I just jumped on before I get dance stuff ready. I didn't want to get too far behind! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[pyramid2000]

Becka, I need to get some sort of countdown going too! The kids will have a blast. We will have to think about what to do. They can be very creative and DD 12 loves to make things. I'll let you know what we come up with. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

LISA - MICKEY PLAN

Special Request for dinning services. All meat must have bones removed. Thanks!

Pj

Good gravy!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[lbgraves]

I made a frozen pork roast today with carrots, garlic powder, and water. It was great. We just made a side of mashed potatoes. I think I am going to make a boneless turkey breast for tomorrow. I love my crock!!!! I am so happy we passed along the frozen meat in the crock to you Lisa. It is so much easier!!!

Well, it would have been easier if I had remembered to put it together this morning. I was at school in the middle of setting up the book fair & remembered OOPS!!! :crazy: I didn't know what I was going to do until they announced that it was CiCi's night....problem solved. :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

That is one cute penguin! :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

I just have to share this today.

Those of us who work in business and in offices may appreciate it.

This humor is right up my alley right now.

John1

I had to forward that to my friends in the PTO. Pretty bad when volunteers can relate to this stuff...but it did make me smile. :)

[lbgraves]

My 2 assistant GS leaders are going to take over the troop. Once I get all the stuff to them and get it straightened out, you don't even know how good that will feel! :teeth: I'll practically have nothing to do! :rolleyes:

:cheer2: :woohoo: :cheer2: :woohoo: :cheer2: :woohoo: :cheer2:

Way to let go, Caroline!!!! :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

Lisa mentioned some of the seating arrangements in chat. We are late, so their are less stations.

Actually, they are now listed on the website where the linked requests use to be. :cool1:

[lbgraves]

DDs have a few BABs, but they don't really play with them. Actually DD3 doesn't have one. Hmmmm... But DD just got her room "Tinked" so she would love that outfit. DD7 wants an Ariel room and DD3 is in love with Cinderella right now. Now if we could just get to the mall I could surprise them with a trip to BAB and I could get them the outfits for Christmas!!

The shipping charges are really low on the BAB website. We can't go to one nearby so I am ordering them.

[lbgraves]

But then I would have to actually remember my password to get back into mine! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I just have all of the accounts set up to go into the same in folder so I don't have to sign into them seperately. I just click on the from window to change who is sending it out. I have one for us, freebies, pto, and each of the kids.

[lbgraves]

Brandi, about that 30,000....think we could shock the heck out of everyone tomorrow morning?? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

THANK GOODNESS YOU DIDN'T!!!!!! popcorn::

[kimerinc]

I almost said oh I'll just wait since I was feeling better and then started feeling crappy again and guess what the visit showed..drum roll...pneumonia.


Carla,

From one bad lung person to another. I am thinking about you!

[BuzzBoyMom]

Hey PJ - I thought I would share with you that I feel like I'm a stocker or a stalker...I never get a chance to write posts b/c i'm always working during the day, or catching up on everyone's posts, and at nights when you guys are sooo busy, I've got church meetings and PTO meetings or even hot tub meetings. Just thought I'd let you know that stocking and stalking are alive and well!!!

[lillygator]

well almost out of here....not sure about dinner. John has softball tonight so just me and the girls. Should be a nice quiet night.

[kimerinc]

I just have to share this today.

Those of us who work in business and in offices may appreciate it.

This humor is right up my alley right now.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Really appreciated that today John! Thank you!

[MrsMork]

I put the stuffing and frozen turkey breast in the crock this morning. I hope it turns out good. Think I will call DrHug and ask how it smells. He is home today. The bum only has one day of work scheduled this week. :sad2:

[MrsMork]

So, he said "it's smelling". And I asked if it smells GOOD?? :confused3 He said "well either bad meat or good cheese!" :lmao: Then he said, not really it is smelling good. Silly man!! :rolleyes:

[lbgraves]

Well, that only took an hour with the kids interrupting. OY! I forgot to tell you guys that DH revived the dryer with a transplant yesterday. :)

[MrsMork]

Good news on the dryer, Lisa!

Not so good news for us today with DrHug's car. Been having a really bad smell, odd sound, now engine light was on. It is at the dealer and the manifold is cracked...Kia has 100,000 mile warranty and that is covered since he is at 96,000 (whew!) , but some sensor is also burned out, and two smog thingys are bad. Those are not under warranty so our part of the bill is $2400. OY! Well, cheaper than new wheels for him though. I did tell him to ask dealer to call Kia and ask if they will cover the smog thinkys because they said that the cracked manifold COULD have caused them to go bad or it could have been vise versa. (cost of those two parts is $1800!!) In my VA world all I need a doc to say to get benefits for a veteran is "as likely as not." So, he called and they said they would ask Kia, but......

So there is another one who does not like bones in their food. DH is like that. He claims he can't figure out how to get the meat off the bones. I just think it is laziness! I really just cannot understand this for the life of me and it makes grocery shopping much more expensive when you can only buy boneless chicken breasts rather than just getting a chicken.

It isn't lazyness, and I do eat meat with bones. T-bone, Ribeye, Porkchops. I just can't figure out how to eat birds.

[waltsgirl]

I thought I would show you what our back yard looked like on Friday..

I love snow, but we are no where near ready for it!!

[Mice Pins]

I'll help. And by the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ribs, bones and all. Also love fried chicken, bones intact. And nothing makes me happier than chewing on the bone from a ribeye steak

Ok something other than birds, not enough meat.

Well, up till now our pre cruise plans have been to drive as far as we can get after school on Friday, stop over at an el cheapo hotel in north Fla Friday night, then complete the drive on Saturday morning.

So, DH says to me earlier this week he thinks he can make it all the way to Orlando Friday evening so why don't we make reservations at an All Star? HA! I've been trying. Why didn't any of you tell me that you have to take a blood test to find out availability there? Yikes! Anyhow, we are settled with a room at Best Western on Hotel Plaza. Don't look for us at Jellyrolls however, I still don't expect us to get there before midnight.

When I used to listen to local sports talk a lot on lunch (do any of you listen to Jim Rome?), all the commercials were for beer, viagra (or fake substitutes), male enhancement herbs, baldness cures, online gambling, and strip clubs. I figured the only people listening were impotent bald men with small swords drinking beer in strip clubs while they played poker on their computers.

So I stopped listening. I honestly DID get sick of all those commercials.

Public radio is much better . . .

It isn't lazyness, and I do eat meat with bones. T-bone, Ribeye, Porkchops. I just can't figure out how to eat birds.

I don't mind cutting around the bones in pork chops, etc. - and I give them a WIDE berth . . . I think the bones make it too REAL to me that this was actually a living thing that I am eating. I am not a vegetarian (but if I toured a stockyard I probably would become one).

I also am very picky about fat on my meat, or skin on chicken too. I guess that is good - I don't like all the bad for you stuff.

Not a cave man. Just look like one!

A few tips on getting a room at a value resort.

#1 Always call the moment they open because reservations cancelled the day before don't seem to show up in the system until the next day.
#2 Lie and say you want more than 1 night - tell them you want to book 3 nights. If available book it and then call the next day to cancel the other two nights.

Kim,

Sophia made me go through those three times! Great pictures! Tell Savannah that Sophia really liked her outfit too - her favorite color is pink. Now she is asking me if she can learn to skate . . . OY!

Sophia is doing Irish dancing and ballet at the local dance school here. Dancing is about all I can handle now . . . there is a rink now only about 15 minutes from our house. We may have to look into it . . .

She is a total doll!!! You must have been so proud!

[becka]

So....that worked for you today? :banana:

I didn't say it worked for me today.

In the past when we had short notice we have been able to book by calling first thing in the morning where we did not have any luck for days prior.

The booking more than 1 day used to be a trick I read about on here before. There seemed to be rooms available occasionally for people wanting more than one night but not for just one night. Disney wants people in their resorts to stay longer - it appeared to give a little bit of preferential treatment to those wanting to book a longer stay on occassion - especially on weekends.

Also when packages become due at 45 days out I would make sure to be on the phone early that morning because then there will likely be some cancellations.

[lillygator]

Kim - love the pics!! She looks so happy! I love skating......

When the waffle is done she is on couch waiting for it. I guess we are lucky. Now I will say that on the weekends that girls will sleep in late!!

[klineyqueen]

DS never fell asleep at nap time. He was ready for bed tonight at 7!!! We made him stay up until 8. I don't want him to be up tomorrow at 6 am!

No pretzels here. I usually try to keep some of the pretzel rods around when I am trying to be good but I have not been to the store to buy them yet.

Maybe I will just have two scoops? ;)

I always feel weird when I have too many points left over at the end of the day. They say you really should eat all your points most of the time or it can cause you to lose too fast - is there really such a thing? ;)

I am going to go and cuddle with my DH and watch our favorite show...Boston Legal.

[lillygator]

V - I see you got into the mix over on the CB Desperate Housewives thread. ;)

yes, my temper and my mouth seem to get the best of me sometimes!



2008 - we'll be cruising for sure. I am just not sure of the month. That will be Samantha's first year of K - not too worried about takign her out of school, but DH does want to travel at different times of the year. I am booked 12/15 for next year but plan to change - probably to 12/8 or a different month all together. I can't imagine an entire new group!! I have to check our meets threads for next year!

[kimerinc]

LOL! I thought the same thing. Also, why 4 girls instead of 3?

at this level they give 4 medals instead of 3 and everyone else gets a participant medal.

You really do need to eat your points!!! My DH is bad about not eating enough when we are dieting. I generally eat most of mine every day. He loses very fast and hits lots of plateaus. I seem to lose at a more constant pace.

when I became LT, I always had a couple points left here and there....but I tell you, those things go quick! The 0 point veggie soup works wonders I tell ya!

[klineyqueen]

Night guys! :wave2:

[becka]

I seem to either feast or famine with my points. Some days I am starving and out of points and other days like today I still have points left but I am not that hungry. I even drank my water and met my fruit/veggie quote too.

[becka]

DH wants to watch TV. I know we have How I Met Your Mother recorded so that is probably what we will watch.

If you are flying Jetblue, please go check your flights! I just saved an additional $60 on my roundtrip. This is for a single ticket! For a grand total of $80 savings from a $230 original price. This is my first time saving on my air ticket and I am astonished.

Hey PJ - I thought I would share with you that I feel like I'm a stocker or a stalker...I never get a chance to write posts b/c i'm always working during the day, or catching up on everyone's posts, and at nights when you guys are sooo busy, I've got church meetings and PTO meetings or even hot tub meetings. Just thought I'd let you know that stocking and stalking are alive and well!!!

ROTFLMAO! :lmao: Luv ya Karen!

I am caught up on my shows and am tired. I need to get to the school by 8 am tomorrow. The kids will start coming thru the bookfair with their classes at 8:15. Night all!

[Bella2000]

I just have to share this today.

Those of us who work in business and in offices may appreciate it.

This humor is right up my alley right now.

If you are flying Jetblue, please go check your flights! I just saved an additional $60 on my roundtrip. This is for a single ticket! For a grand total of $80 savings from a $230 original price. This is my first time saving on my air ticket and I am astonished.

Pj

That is great news PJ! :) :cool1:

[pjpoohbear]

I just can't figure out how to eat birds.

KAREN!!!!!!!!!!!

Kim,
The photos look great, DD looks fantastic. :goodvibes You should be so proud!

[Bella2000]

I never signed off last night/this morning whenever the heck it was. At least I caught up to today - well this morning at least. I watched the show Heros. DH and I enjoyed it.

[lillygator]

great savings on the airfare PJ~!

[Bella2000]

Oh and may I just say Z-pak bites the big one. I know this stuff works but the side effects - I thought I'd have at least a day. It's like add insult to injury.
Good Morning!

Must affect people differently . . .

ZPack is my best friend every change of seasons with URI's.

Get well soon Carla!

JohnThanks John! Yes that is what everyone is telling me about Zpak their antibiotic of choice. I think the fact that I hadn't eaten for 3 days and then decided to eat a chocolate donut (talk about comfort food) after leaving the hospital, going to CVS and taking that initial double dose.

PjI checked it this morning when I got that JetBlue email but no dice from Boston flights. I love getting those Jetblue credits!

[Bella2000]

:( I guess you all went to bed!I'm here!

[Bella2000]

I am feeling better but I have this gagging cough left. :sad2: I usually feel worse first thing the morning and then feel better as the day progresses until later in the evening. By around 8-9 I am starting to drag again. What did your doctor say?

[Bella2000]

I need to get to work. I have to call the wife of one of our patients that is a grumpy, grumpy woman - and demanding too! OY. I have dealt with this one for years and am dreading the call.Angie you mean they don't call you at home yet? My MIL is a patient advocate and they have been calling her at home for years. Its incredible.

[Bella2000]

DD is talking in her sleep about "having two of them" and wondering about the other. We did zizzlingers this evening. I am soooo off my game. I messed up. When she asked to shake the bag I said Sure, forgetting the figurines are noticibly in there vs. magically appearing. :crazy:

Just caught up. Girls had piano and viola lessons tonight, so I Tivo'd Dancing with the Stars and watched it at 9:30 instead.

Now for my bid for the worst mom in the world award...
At back to school night last week, DD8's teacher gave each of us a large yellow star. We were to take it home, think about what makes our child special, come up with 5 special traits and write them in each point of the star. Then add the child's photo in the middle; decorate if you're crafty. The teacher is putting them up in the room so your child can see it if she needs a lift.... and we were to hand it in by Monday the 25th. And I totally forgot to do it. DD saw me looking at it tonight and said "I was wondering why I didn't have a star on the door!"

Yikes. I'm now crafting a colorful, glittery star for my creative, smart, energetic, happy, fun daughter!!

[Bella2000]

Carla,

From one bad lung person to another. I am thinking about you!Thanks Kim. Hey I'm at 4P so I'm slowly catching up

But see that is actually what proves how fantastic you are - the fact that you know her so well you CAN come up with those things so quickly and will have a darned fine snazzy star to boot!!!

[lillygator]

wow - it just started POURING!!!!

[Bella2000]

I will be heading home in an hour. No news yet on the warranty on the car. :confused3 Need pixie dust. I would way rather pay $800 than $2400.Of course this was at 7P and I'mreading it at 11:26 so there may be more info later but pixiedust:

[Bella2000]

Boy, DD must have had quite the day - she is talking again. Her poor brain must need to seriously offload.

[Bella2000]

ok - poured a nice glass of wine and I am heading to the hot tub......be back later!I am so glad things worked out with your new pool. How is the water color these days?

[MrsMork]

Well, up till now our pre cruise plans have been to drive as far as we can get after school on Friday, stop over at an el cheapo hotel in north Fla Friday night, then complete the drive on Saturday morning.

So, DH says to me earlier this week he thinks he can make it all the way to Orlando Friday evening so why don't we make reservations at an All Star? HA! I've been trying. Why didn't any of you tell me that you have to take a blood test to find out availability there? Yikes! Anyhow, we are settled with a room at Best Western on Hotel Plaza. Don't look for us at Jellyrolls however, I still don't expect us to get there before midnight.
We spent one night in that Best Western year before last. It was very nice.

[MrsMork]

My pictures came in the mail today so I thought I would share:

Oh my goodness! No wonder she took first place. You have reason to be proud! How cute she is! :thumbsup2

[Bella2000]

BTW - what's with the little girl in the red? Looks like she is trying to steal the photo-op from Savannah!

John1OMG! I was thinking the exact same thing. Who is that kid and what's up with the grandstanding pose by our gold medalist!

[Bella2000]

Oh man Kim. DD starts skating in a couple of weeks and that is all I've heard about ad naseum. She will be thrilled to see the pics.

[pjpoohbear]

Kim, love the pics of Savannah! She is obviously enjoying herself, and long before the result were announced, lol. BTW very cute costume!

I am so glad things worked out with your new pool. How is the water color these days?

the water has stabalized and now looks like the "caribbean, love"! The paver people are coming to meet with us Friday evening I think. I am not sure what can be done at this point. The ones they replaced due to cracks, etc are now toe stubbers. What a headache this has been. This is my first experience with any sort of work being done/contracting. I dread anything further.
