12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 8

[MrsMork]

I was in Lord and Taylors this weekend and we went in through the evening wear section. I told DH so much for wearing something like that (strappy number) on the cruise. He looked at me with a cocky smile and wink and quickly kept moving along out of there. You gotta love a man to know enough to not comment and to dazzle me with charm that I didn't realize it until we were out of that section. :lmao:
Yes, gotta love a man with that kind of sensitivity. :lovestruc :thumbsup2

[klineyqueen]

In my years at Carolina I was never able to get tickets to a basketball game. http://bestsmileys.com/crying/2.gif
Aw Brack....don't be sad!

[klineyqueen]

Can I get the top of 2500?

Pj
Why Yes! YES YOU CAN!!!

[MrsMork]

I don't watch DH or AR. Wow. A show of disboard autonomy! Yeah sure I'll be on fansofrealitytv trying to figure out what you all are referencing.
We don't watch any of those shows either. We're not going to know what people are talking about in 20 years when they talk about way back when TV was good. :sad2:

[klineyqueen]

yeah, you can do salmon in the dishwasher. The surreal gourmet does it, very weird if you ask me.

Pj
Not only is that weird...it is just plain ole GROSS!

[MrsMork]

NO NO NO Recruiting!

That may prevent upgrades on the only 70% full ship!

John1
But, John1, wouldn't we have even better chance for upgrade if LOTS of people wanted to book but only wanted CAT11. Wouldn't they move us to make more room in the lower cat? :confused3 Hmmm.

[klineyqueen]

I am Dising while packing the stuff that sold on Ebay today. The packing and mailing is the most boring part for me.

[brack]

Something I did in my spare time. :)

http://www.geocities.com/glide_24/usa_color.gif

Cool! I almost think I should put some kind of dot for Oklahoma City where I lived when I booked this cruise.

[brack]

Getting close

[lbgraves]

Coooool!

PJ - put it in the newsletter . . .

Can we get it on the navigators?

Should the first ones at WDW and the port have a supply so they can leaflet?

John1

Don't forget to send them to the terminal a week before! :rotfl:

[lbgraves]

Not sure what you are talking about - I will take a guess . . . Knorr's?

John1

And you are in the grocery business? :rotfl2:

[MrsMork]

Yes, I like lemmon squares, and Amy is a great cook (when she wants to) and I am less than average. (if you are keeping track for Carl) My best shot is Pizza.

I don't even cook on the grill anymore, and have relinquished even that "guy" cooking to Amy.

John1
Same at our house, John1. However, it is not because DrHug cannot grill a good steak. He just always has something better to do. :rolleyes: :sad2:

[brack]

Still trying to catch up with you guys.

[becka]

too late?

pirate:

[lbgraves]

LOL - now that is just too funny - your hubby will be hangin' with Caroline's hubby pretty soon.

They can :rotfl: console each other when they realize their wives have lost it & gone to the green side.

[MrsMork]

Not sure what you are talking about - I will take a guess . . . Knorr's?

John1
Nope, Krustez

[becka]

Well everyone I took some Nyquil about a half hour ago so I probably should get to bed.

Have a great night everyone!!! :wave:

[MrsMork]

Good Luck John. I do wish you luck. Times like that really make you appreciate how tough it must be for a single parent!

Thanks for the info. I sent you a reply!
Yep. We agreed that if either wanted out of this marriage, that person would have to take all 3 kids, the animals and the bills. Neither of us was going anywhere! ;) :lmao: :rotfl2:

[MommyMinnie]

Becka,
I was just thinking about your DH and those nasty allergies. I'll bet he gets tired of being so careful about what he eats. :grouphug:

[klineyqueen]

Yep. We agreed that if either wanted out of this marriage, that person would have to take all 3 kids, the animals and the bills. Neither of us was going anywhere! ;) :lmao: :rotfl2:
That would be scary!

[lbgraves]

Well, off to bed for me . . .

Tomorrow IS Monday after all.

It will be a rough three days - Amy is leaving for St. Paul, so I have to take care of DD, dog, etc, and deal with work and meetings.

The life of a single parent for the next three days.

Wish me luck - I have to take Sophia back to the office with me for a meeting tomorrow night. Portable DVD players do come in handy.

John1

:grouphug: Hang in there! I can appreciate what you will be going thru for the next few days. I can't believe that I haven't had to do that since 9/1!!!! This is a new record having DH home. :love:

[lillygator]

Becka - your DS is allergic to nuts, etc?

and I guess I never realized the peanut butter was age 2!!

[waltsgirl]

I'm done with Pumpkin Frappachinos by the way. See I was swayed by the charm TWICE now. Two gorgeous charming Starbucks "dudes" talked me into them at two different locations (not my usual location) and they made them terribly! Too strong not enough pumpkin. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't ask for them to be fixed or anything. I just nodded like a goof ball that that they were fine. (Very un-me like). Let me tell you no one should look that beautiful. One was prettier than a woman - the other was hunky - smile that gleemed with that cartoon sparkle. :rotfl2: See, do you know why now DD can't cruise when she is a teen!

I love those things!!! I get mine creme based not coffee based!! THe workers are always so nice and hunky!!

As my husband said "Just because you are on a diet doens't mean you can't look at the menu"!

[klineyqueen]

My DH just went to bed. I think I am going to join him. Good night my friends!

[klineyqueen]

Becka - your DS is allergic to nuts, etc?

and I guess I never realized the peanut butter was age 2!!
I think it is her DH not her DS.

[lillygator]

I'm always a day late and a dollar short for these pirates.

I am going to make up my own.

[MrsMork]

DrHug said to tell ya'll that the apple dumplings were wonderful, even better than the apple pie! :thumbsup2 I used the recipe from the internet that uses sliced apples. I will have to try with the whole apple next and see what he thinks. No wonder that man and I stay so fluffy! :rolleyes: :lmao: :rotfl2:

[klineyqueen]

I love those things!!! I get mine creme based not coffee based!! THe workers are always so nice and hunky!!

As my husband said "Just because you are on a diet doens't mean you can't look at the menu"!
Now I know why you girls love Starbucks so much...it is the hunky guys!!!! Hi Amy :wave: I am always happy to see that you are on the thread. Your comments always make me laugh!

[waltsgirl]

I'd ship them to you if I knew they were going to keep. DD thought it was ok. DH won't eat it because chocolate is on the list for kidney stone producers as a no no, so he has eliminated it vs. eating it here and there (yup that would be my husband but after two terrible occurrences I don't blame him).

So my twin has Kidney stone problems.... I have gallstone problems.... but I don't cut things out of my diet!!

[klineyqueen]

Angie - there is nothing wrong with a little fluff....that way there is something to hang onto when the going gets tough! ;)

[MrsMork]

I'm always a day late and a dollar short for these pirates.

I am going to make up my own.
Vanessa, you are so cute!! What number are you going to pick for your pirate: ?

[lillygator]

well, I won my fantasy game. And I still have Rexie left to play tomorrow. I am glad I left Shockey in, he finally shut up and scored. The guy I played is now 0-6, so I am not sure how sweet a victory this is. He was the first pick in the draft and took Shaun Alexander.........

[lillygator]

Vanessa, you are so cute!! What number are you going to pick for your pirate: ?

ya'll will just have to figure that one out!

[MrsMork]

DrHug has the 5 cd set of Disney music playing on this computer. You've Got a Friend in Me just played. I LOVE that song! :grouphug:

[Jhalkias]

Not planning on an upgrade but will take what I can get and be happy with what I have.

I'm Back - couldn't sleep just yet, and wanted to watch about 15 minutes of football - would not be Sunday without ANY football (Browns are off today - bye week).

I agree with you completely Brack. We will wait for the upgrade gods to smile on us, and if not, will be perfectly content with what we have!

John1

[lillygator]

holy crap!! I didn't see the footage of the UM bench clearing brawl!

[MrsMork]

ya'll will just have to figure that one out!
:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :happytv:

[klineyqueen]

DrHug has the 5 cd set of Disney music playing on this computer. You've Got a Friend in Me just played. I LOVE that song! :grouphug:
My DS 3 can sing that whole song! It is so cute to hear him!

[lillygator]

31 players suspended from UM......talk about no control.

That would NOT happen in Florida. We can't even rush the field. They are troopers surrounding the field and on every level of the stadium.

I did always want to take part in bringing down the goals posts though.

[waltsgirl]

Yep. We agreed that if either wanted out of this marriage, that person would have to take all 3 kids, the animals and the bills. Neither of us was going anywhere! ;) :lmao: :rotfl2:

Hey, that is exactly what I have told John... Anytime you want to leave go ahead just remember... you get the kids, the dog, the bills, you still have to mow the grass and shovel the snow and fix anything that breaks in the house, even though I will be living in the house!!

I think it's a great deal!!

[MrsMork]

holy crap!! I didn't see the footage of the UM bench clearing brawl!
That was pretty BAD! :sad2:

[Jhalkias]

We don't watch any of those shows either. We're not going to know what people are talking about in 20 years when they talk about way back when TV was good. :sad2:

Well, we aren't watching any of them either - TV for me is either what Sophia is watching (Disney), or Sports.

Unfortunately, Carla has now hooked me on Heroes though . . . however, since I keep forgetting what night it is on, and when, I keep buying episodes on iTunes for my iPod - something I NEVER thought I would do - pay for TV (other than cable that is).

I am very afraid to check out Battlestar Galactica . . . one show a season is enough for me!

John1

[klineyqueen]

I'm Back - couldn't sleep just yet, and wanted to watch about 15 minutes of football - would not be Sunday without ANY football (Browns are off today - bye week).

You are pulling a Brandi...going to bed then coming back because you can't sleep!!!!

[Jhalkias]

But, John1, wouldn't we have even better chance for upgrade if LOTS of people wanted to book but only wanted CAT11. Wouldn't they move us to make more room in the lower cat? :confused3 Hmmm.

mmmmmmmm . . . Good point.

Tell them all to want a Cat 8!

John1

[lillygator]

well I think I am heading off to bed. I give up on trying to stay caught up.

[MrsMork]

My DS 3 can sing that whole song! It is so cute to hear him!
I'd love to hear it when we are together! :goodvibes

[Jhalkias]

And you are in the grocery business? :rotfl2:

I forgot you were talking about lemmon bars, and Knorr's was the first odd K that popped into my head.

:confused3

John1

[lbgraves]

So my twin has Kidney stone problems.... I have gallstone problems.... but I don't cut things out of my diet!!

DH & all 3 of his brothers have had kidney stones...the youngest was the worst with surgery. He definitely doesn't stop eating chocolate...or drinking caffiene.

[waltsgirl]

I'm Back - couldn't sleep just yet, and wanted to watch about 15 minutes of football - would not be Sunday without ANY football (Browns are off today - bye week).

Says who?????

[klineyqueen]

OK - I am off to bed for real this time! ;) Good night!

[MrsMork]

Definately keeps a marriage strong! :lmao:

[MrsMork]

No, no, no. Cat 11

[Jhalkias]

As my husband said "Just because you are on a diet doens't mean you can't look at the menu"!

Hey now!

John1

[MrsMork]

I'm off to watch Extreme Home Makeover. The family is on the Magic this week!

[brack]

It is interesting that the plains states are very underrepresented. We need to up our recruitment in those areas! ;) Can someone get a list of large libraries in the plains states with Internet access? We can send Charlotte on a recruitment tour! :lmao:

Remember that I started out in Oklahoma which is the center of the USA.http://bestsmileys.com/blushing/1.gif

[waltsgirl]

Hey now!

John1

You didn't think I was drinking all those Starbucks drinks did you? Those are just my excuse to go there to see the guys!!

[Jhalkias]

V - UM?

Tell more! What U of what M?

You must have Sportscenter on 24/7! :rotfl2:

I watched it already! I love that show!!

[87Heel]

In my years at Carolina I was never able to get tickets to a basketball game. http://bestsmileys.com/crying/2.gif
Wow, Brack.
My first 2 years were Carmichael years; Smith Center opened in January of junior year. Spent a lot of time in ticket distribution lines, but I got almost every game, including the Smith Center opening game (in the rafters). Michael Jordan's last year was my freshman year; got to meet him when he dated a friend of mine.

[Jhalkias]

Hey, that is exactly what I have told John... Anytime you want to leave go ahead just remember... you get the kids, the dog, the bills, you still have to mow the grass and shovel the snow and fix anything that breaks in the house, even though I will be living in the house!!

I think it's a great deal!!

Yeah, I like that . . .

Me, the dog and the kids will be living in a tenement apartment somewhere, while I will have to come and be the maintenance man at DW's house, while she is entertaining hunky Starbucks employees.

Looks like we will be celebrating a lot more anniversaries!

You made me look! WOW! That is just unbelievable. :sad2: I guess that they have made more announcements. ESPN still shows 13 total players from both teams but said more were probably going to be announced.

[Mice Pins]

Becka - your DS is allergic to nuts, etc?

and I guess I never realized the peanut butter was age 2!!

I'm allergic, DS doesn't seem to be, he eats it at daycare. We haven't given anything related to DD yet.

[Jhalkias]

OK - I am off to bed for real this time! ;) Good night!

Your green light is still on . . .

John1

[lbgraves]

mmmmmmmm . . . Good point.

Tell them all to want a Cat 8!

John1

That would only work if there were only GTYs in a category. If they want a room, DCL basically has one anywhere they want right now. :(

[lbgraves]

V - UM?

Tell more! What U of what M?

You must have Sportscenter on 24/7! :rotfl2:

John1

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2627372

V, I misremembered it. ;) It says 31 total there.

[87Heel]

holy crap!! I didn't see the footage of the UM bench clearing brawl!
I meant to ask you for your reaction on that!!!

[Jhalkias]

OK, found it. University of Miami.

We Ohio people always think Michigan with the M - NOT Miami - so I had to know.

I think I will go off to bed now - I need my rest!

John1

[Jhalkias]

That would only work if there were only GTYs in a category. If they want a room, DCL basically has one anywhere they want right now. :(

Party Pooper!

John1

[Jhalkias]

Hey Vanessa!

I got 37555!

Does that qualify for our new milestones wall of fame?

John1

[lillygator]

V - UM?

Tell more! What U of what M?

You must have Sportscenter on 24/7! :rotfl2:

John1
Univ of Miami, FL and yes with 500 diff ESPN channels, one seems to be on, except during Grey's and DH!

[Jhalkias]

And 37556!

Wow!

I am on a roll!

(just really sleep deprived)

John1

[waltsgirl]

Yeah, I like that . . .

Me, the dog and the kids will be living in a tenement apartment somewhere, while I will have to come and be the maintenance man at DW's house, while she is entertaining hunky Starbucks employees.

Whatever you want honey!!

[Jhalkias]

And 37556!

Wow!

(just really sleep deprived)

John1

Ahhhhhhhh . . .

But you got 37557 - you dirty pirate: - snuck up on me and slipped that one in!

Better watch out for Todd on the next one!

(Should I go to bed now - before I make total nonesense?)

I'm almost caught up! I've been busy the last two days, yesterday was pictures for the boys, basketball, and our neighborhood block party. Today we served brunch to 30 people! I love brunch so it was fun. We had quite a few tables set up and lots of food and even with just one oven I managed to get the timing right... a near miracle for me. My neighbor kindly offered up her oven and fridge for me but I didn't need them. I also had a little late night inspiration and after I got most of the food ready, tables set and centerpieces arrange, etc. I made this for a blank wall that's been bugging me: http://scrapvillage.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26014

[lbgraves]

I figured out what is wrong with this stupid computer today. When I was upstairs working in DD's room she turned on our TV & started watching Nick. DH hooked that TV back up to the splicer out in the garage. It has been affecting our signal again. ACK!!!! I am wondering if I need to get an OHM blocker for that TV too? I had to wait until after DH was over to connect the line from the wall directly to the modem so that I could get DS the McD's hot wheels & not have to go back there in a while. Now both kids will be happy. :) Of course, DD already knows that she isn't going to get those dolls when I get them in the mail. She has to be good for at least a week.

[lbgraves]

How pretty, Tana! :)

[brack]

Amazing Race is late here because of football for the 3rd week in a row! :furious: I just hate that!!!! :mad:

.... and it messes up my TiVo! Fortunately I was able to start recording what TiVo thought was Cold Case and catch up to the end of Amazing Race.

[TanaL]

I watched it already! I love that show!!

This is dh's absolute favorite show, the only network tv show the boys get to watch other than sports. LOVE IT! I cry every single time. It was fun that the family went on DCL this week... but they were on the wonder so it was either 3 or 4 nights. I didn't see where they mentioned what the family did the rest of the time? Stayed wherever the Tim McGraw concert was I guess?

[RealMickey]

http://www.geocities.com/glide_24/usa_color.gif
Cool map Becka!:thumbsup2

We are sort of few and far between here in the southeast. I guess if we had a mini-meet in our area it would just be MommyMinnie's family and mine.


:banana:

[TanaL]

How pretty, Tana! :)


thank you!! My FIL took that pic of the boys and it was just perfect for the theme. he's really good about giving me copies of pictures.. much better than I am about giving them out in a timely fashion.

[lbgraves]

Well, I will leave you guys who are left to the next milestone...whichever one it may be for you. ;) Kids have to go to school in the morning & who knows what is on my to do list...it will depend on how I am feeling. Night!

At one point it looked like they were at BeachClub Villas. They were walking outside and the white fencing and trellis reminder me of Beach Club. I bet they stayed on property somewhere.

[TanaL]

Becka, that map is great!

PJ, dh and I will have either 1 or two laptops on board. Is there a printer/business center type thing on board? Maybe I could edit the room listing to reflect any changes, print it in B/W on board and add that as an insert in your newsletter. I bet Lisa could get the guest services office to print something for us as a last resort!

Speaking of your newsletter -- LOVE it. I need to hire you to do one for my business!

[TanaL]

Well, I will leave you guys who are left to the next milestone...whichever one it may be for you. ;) Kids have to go to school in the morning & who knows what is on my to do list...it will depend on how I am feeling. Night!

goodnight Lisa! Hope this will be a much better week for Little Cinderella!

oh good, I like to think that they had a Disney vacation all week.

:banana:

[pyramid2000]

I think everyone is cleared out of the house for a bit. DrHug took 2 DGKs shopping for cd players. Other DGS is at work. I'm gonna go try out one of the apple dumpling recipes. :stir:

Let us know how it turns out! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[RealMickey]

Just a quick check in.
Becka I caught some quick smilies. Cute Cute cute!

Becka, I love the map, I have been looking for something like it for my own web site. I hope to add it in January. Thanks for finding it.

Mickey, and anyone else. I saw a preview for next weeks Dr. Who. He told Rose to always bring a banana to a party, everyone loves bananas!

Congrats on the pirate: Becka it's good to see you back!

Catch you all later.

Dr. Who and bananas...Must See TV! :banana:

[pyramid2000]

I realized I only represent DH as this person who thinks this side of me is nuts. He is actually such a sweetheart. He just brought up a lemon square for me. He just made them this evening. He cooks by the way. I do not. Well I could but he's better at it and he actually LIKES it.

I remember when DH would cook for us on his days off...doesn't happen so much any more, cooking AND days off. :sad2: Although I think he was trying to kill us with all the butter he uses! :crazy:

[pyramid2000]

Uhm - did I tell you guys I uhm forgot my anniversary. Someone I work with (many actually) said "You are such a guy". Now I'm not sure that is a compliment but I did send an email - remember I was in a conference and had to be there at 7:30 so I had to leave my house super early. I got a lovely card for him as well. I am a great card shopper - love them. Anyway I am of the belief that I would prefer to be treated well the other 364 days that are not our anniversary. That sounds like a cop out but I honestly do believe that - he knows it so I was covered okay okay - I am such a stereotypical guy :blush:

Last January we BOTH forgot!! :blush: Sad I know, but no one could complain!! :teeth: It really isn't that big of a deal for us though. I loke your philosophy Carla! :thumbsup2

It is 7:47 and DD has been sleeping on the couch for a while and DS is upstairs reading a book yawning away. :) Today was a little better. DD was a little testy in Church and didn't like the cheese crackers that I brought for some reason. OY!!! The kids got along pretty well today too. DD only messed with DS a couple times...which is a great improvement for her! I took out all of the winter clothes for DD and went thru them getting rid of the ones that are too small. I also went thru the summer ones so there are several piles in the hallway that need to be boxed up & dropped off to get them out of the house. I am about half way thru taking the summer stuff down & putting the winter stuff up....but I did clear everything so that I can put DD to bed. ;)

I used to do this every year. Now I just keep them all out throughout the year. I still have to go through them as the seasons change, but it keeps the boxes in the attic to a minimum. :thumbsup2

[brack]

Last January we BOTH forgot!! :blush: Sad I know, but no one could complain!! :teeth: It really isn't that big of a deal for us though. I loke your philosophy Carla! :thumbsup2

I really try to not forget any dates. It means a lot to my DW.

[bubbasmom99]

I am very afraid to check out Battlestar Galactica . . . one show a season is enough for me!

John1

My husband can give you a play-by-play if you want.... :3dglasses

[pyramid2000]

You really should come out of the DIS closet. It is only going to get worse the closer we get and at some point you are going to have to explain all of these strange people that know so much about you. :rotfl:

Nah...Carla and I can't wait to see the look on our DH's faces when they step through the doors! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[bubbasmom99]

I remember when DH would cook for us on his days off...doesn't happen so much any more, cooking AND days off. :sad2: Although I think he was trying to kill us with all the butter he uses! :crazy:

My DH doesn't cook much but he does 95% of the grilling, and since we are low-carbing right now, we're doing alot of grilling (so I have not cooked as much lately...). I haven't baked anything since this diet started, so as to avoid temptation. There really are very little low-carb baked sweets available....

[pyramid2000]

Amazing Race is late here because of football for the 3rd week in a row! :furious: I just hate that!!!! :mad:

It is late for you also?? I wouldn't think so because you are a few hours behind right?? Or are you central? :confused3

I was so happy when I saw it would be on at 8 so I wouldn't have to tape it for the kids and they could just stay up and watch it. But when it doesn't start til 8:30, it is pushing it! :guilty:

[brack]

We started out today in Louisville, KY and drove up through Cinncinati & Columbus, OH, Wheeling, WV, Washington, PA down the PA Turnpike then down to Hagerstown, MD on to home. We tried to wave in each town to our DISFriends.:wave:

[bubbasmom99]

I made this for a blank wall that's been bugging me: http://scrapvillage.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26014

I shared my secret disdain of candycorn - did I also mention I don't care for caramel apples. Yuck. I ordered those apples from William Sonoma = the fancy big ones are now available in small little ones. They looked so cool. Well we opened one this evening. WTH was I thinking - duh caramel under the chocolate. Yuck.

But caramel is ohhhhh so good!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

On the day of you can get upgrades pretty cheaply. It would have been around 600 for us to upgrade from a 4 to a 3. Of course, we had only paid for an 8 so that would have been a fantastic deal. I am kind of glad that we didn't because I would have been spoiled to go back to a 10.

Here is my project for the weekend. I haven't actually had time to scrap a layout in a few months due to work, but I did put this together for my boss tomorrow for Boss's day. It's filled with some candies and a Starbucks gift card.

I'd ship them to you if I knew they were going to keep. DD thought it was ok. DH won't eat it because chocolate is on the list for kidney stone producers as a no no, so he has eliminated it vs. eating it here and there (yup that would be my husband but after two terrible occurrences I don't blame him).

Not even THAT has kept me from chocolate!! But I didn't know it was on the list. What list was that again?? :confused3 :rolleyes1

I LOVE it! Did you make it from scratch or did you buy a kit? I thought I saw a kit advertised on one of the kit clubs recently...

Thanks Joy! I made it from scratch pretty much. The papers/die cuts are from a Deja Views Sharon Ann tablet so they all matched already. I added paint, rub-ons, chipboard and ribbon. I haven't scrapbooked in awhile so it was really fun to get creative again. Now I have several more ideas brewing for other decor projects.

[pyramid2000]

LOL - now that is just too funny - your hubby will be hangin' with Caroline's hubby pretty soon.

Now that is an idea!! :idea: We can have our own mini meet, secretly conspired as an accidental meeting, mention the board as something we go to purely for information, and then talk about the crazy group that will be onboard with us! :thumbsup2

Well, off to bed for me . . .

Tomorrow IS Monday after all.

It will be a rough three days - Amy is leaving for St. Paul, so I have to take care of DD, dog, etc, and deal with work and meetings.

The life of a single parent for the next three days.

Wish me luck - I have to take Sophia back to the office with me for a meeting tomorrow night. Portable DVD players do come in handy.

I love brunch so it was fun. We had quite a few tables set up and lots of food and even with just one oven I managed to get the timing right... a near miracle for me. My neighbor kindly offered up her oven and fridge for me but I didn't need them. I also had a little late night inspiration and after I got most of the food ready, tables set and centerpieces arrange, etc. I made this for a blank wall that's been bugging me: http://scrapvillage.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26014

I figured out what is wrong with this stupid computer today. When I was upstairs working in DD's room she turned on our TV & started watching Nick. DH hooked that TV back up to the splicer out in the garage. It has been affecting our signal again. ACK!!!! I am wondering if I need to get an OHM blocker for that TV too? I had to wait until after DH was over to connect the line from the wall directly to the modem so that I could get DS the McD's hot wheels & not have to go back there in a while. Now both kids will be happy. :) Of course, DD already knows that she isn't going to get those dolls when I get them in the mail. She has to be good for at least a week.

My internet connection has been acting real funny again lately! You don't know how many times I called them in the last year or so. :furious: Finally, we have a direct line and it had been doing pretty good, but for the last week it keeps needing to be reset again and again! I'm giving them a call tomorrow...Maybe I can get the discount for 6 months again after they fail to find what is wrong...AGAIN!! :sad2:

OMG - gasp how di I miss that Tana is a crafty person. Oh no I feel so deficient. Tana will you still converse with me? I am so intimidated by scrapbooking. It's like another job or something.

Carla of course I still love ya! But I will be mighty annoyed if you are serious about feeling deficient! I do think that scrapbooking can be really overwhelming, especially the last few years because there has been such an explosion of new products in the industry. If you're into it and you enjoy it, you can start with some kits and make some great basic projects and keep it simple. If you don't enjoy it, don't do it and don't feel badly, it's supposed to be a relaxing creative outlet artistic fun kind of thing. I think everyone should have hobbies to use those other parts of your brain, but it has to be something you enjoy, not something to add more stress or guilt to your life.

In my former life I was a CPA, I would have sworn I was not creative at all. I was just going to do one small baby album for my ds. 7 years later I am completely addicted -- it is really fun to create once you relax and enjoy it. I have to be careful because I have a design team for my site and they are all really talented, published scrappers and it can be very intimidating to be around them. Here are some of their projects: http://www.scrapvillage.com/City-Planners-Photo-Swap.htm But as long as *I* like my stuff, and my kids enjoy looking through their books, I am happy!

Tana that was such a sweet message - I think I fall into it would overwhelm me category as far as scrapbooking. I have a lot of friends who do it and when I go into their "rooms" my eyes glaze over.

Ooh I almost forgot - DD loved her first iceskaing session. She and DH unfortunately did have a bit of a commotion en route to the rink. He hit something (thinks the manhole cover was off in the street) but what ever it was ripped the tire to shreds. He was fortunately by the rink when it happened to he could get into it and call AAA. Another unfortunate mark to replace the Saturn sooner vs. later (bummer) and reminds me that since it has a donut on it I will probably need to drop DH off at the train station...

Sure! We definately have Mass. on our list of to see places. Might as well bake while we are there.

[waltsgirl]

Perhaps you can get him to chill out - he's gone to the extreme about the diet. Oh, please don't tell me he'll have gallstones next.

About 3 years ago I had terrible pain in my upper stomach I thought I was dying. Nothing helped, hot, cold. eating, not eating, it just kept getting worse. Finally I had to go to the emergency room and I had pancreatitis(not sure of spelling)... Of course, before the hospital told me I had this they sent me home. They gave me some pain medicine and some Flexall, a muscle relaxer and sent me home. After being home about 1 hour the phone rings, keep in mind it is now 3:00AM, I answer it and it is the Dr from the hospital who proceeds to tell me that I need to come back to the hospital to be admitted. They had released me using someone elses chart, some guy with back spasms, and I had to be admitted since I had pancratitis, thought to be caused by a gallstone.

Needless to say I was a little upset and after having the Flexall that was meant for the guy I had a hard time standing because my muscles were really relaxed!!! Anyway went in and had to have complete "belly rest" for 3 days!! Do you know that every TV show and commercial has food in it! i couldn't even have water, Just IV's.

I was like Carl for the first year. Watched everything I ate, cut out all fat and lost about 60 lbs. Well the memory of the pain has faded, like with childbirth, the reason you have more than one child, and I have gained weight and eat everything in sight!!!

Oh well.. I hope I didn't jinx myself by telling the story!!

[MrsMork]

About 3 years ago I had terrible pain in my upper stomach I thought I was dying. Nothing helped, hot, cold. eating, not eating, it just kept getting worse. Finally I had to go to the emergency room and I had pancreatitis(not sure of spelling)... Of course, before the hospital told me I had this they sent me home. They gave me some pain medicine and some Flexall, a muscle relaxer and sent me home. After being home about 1 hour the phone rings, keep in mind it is now 3:00AM, I answer it and it is the Dr from the hospital who proceeds to tell me that I need to come back to the hospital to be admitted. They had released me using someone elses chart, some guy with back spasms, and I had to be admitted since I had pancratitis, thought to be caused by a gallstone.

Needless to say I was a little upset and after having the Flexall that was meant for the guy I had a hard time standing because my muscles were really relaxed!!! Anyway went in and had to have complete "belly rest" for 3 days!! Do you know that every TV show and commercial has food in it! i couldn't even have water, Just IV's.

I was like Carl for the first year. Watched everything I ate, cut out all fat and lost about 60 lbs. Well the memory of the pain has faded, like with childbirth, the reason you have more than one child, and I have gained weight and eat everything in sight!!!

Oh well.. I hope I didn't jinx myself by telling the story!!

Oh! Pancreatitis is really, really painful! :grouphug: Hope you never have another attack.

[waltsgirl]

Let's bring up kidney stones between that and jury duty those are the two things he's concerned about effecting his cruise.

I love jury duty and always hope that I get called!! It just seems that most times I get called we are going on vacation and I have to be excused! Alathough the last time I went I was in the courtroom but never made it to the jury box and another time I sat all day waiting to be called and the defendent ended up taking a deal at the last minute.

[MrsMork]

I'm off to bed now. We racked the Pinot wine tonight (moved it from the crock to a glass carboy). DrHug is now working on the same for the white wine. He does not work tomorrow. I do so I'm letting him do the second batch by himself.

[waltsgirl]

Ooh what is that Amy? if it involves a sapphire I am ALL over that ring. :rolleyes1

Sorry no Sapphires it's diamonds.

[waltsgirl]

Well I am turning in for the night... Morning will be here too soon and I have to get Sophia off to school and finish getting ready to visit St. Paul Minnesota! I will call you, Tana, once I firm my our plans for tomorrow.

[pjpoohbear]

[pjpoohbear]

I still don't have a crockpot, but I do have a dishwasher!! Do tell some recipies PJ! :teeth:

Dishwasher Salmon with a Piquant Dill Sauce

4 6-ounce salmon fillets
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
heavy duty aluminum foil

Prep

1. Cut two 12-inch square sheets of aluminum foil.
2. Place two fillets side by side on each square and fold up the outer edges.
3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon lemon juice over each fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Fold and pinch the aluminum foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal around each pair of fillets. Make sure the packet is airtight by pressing down on it gently with your hand. If air escapes easily, rewrap.
5. Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for the entire "normal" cycle.
6. When cycle is complete, take out salmon, discard foil, place one fillet on each plate, and spoon a generous serving of dill sauce overtop.
Don’t have a dishwasher? Bake foil-wrapped packets in a preheated 400°F oven for 12 minutes.

[pjpoohbear]

Joy and Tana will appriecate this...

I FINISH MY FIRST CJ CIRCLE TODAY! And it was a DIS DCL CJ, we had 8 members and we are only one month behind, woo hoo. It was a blast, I have signed up for a second DIS CJ and really find that it makes me scrap instead of thinking about or just shopping for scrapping, lol

someone left a mini pirate: last night

[BuzzBoyMom]

or not??!!! That was weird....Brack's last post didnt' show up at the end until I posted. hmnmm.....bizarre.

Well everyone - Happy Monday!!

I'm sitting here on a chilly day with a cup of Harry and David Moose Munch coffee topped with Peppermint Mocha creamer....mmmmmmmmmm....perfect for a chilly fall day!

[BuzzBoyMom]

I do have a PSA for everyone after reading on the main board that someone who leaves in 4 days cannot find her DH's birth certificate.

Everyone this week should make sure they have all of their birth certificates and/or passports. I would hate to see anyone in our group left behind because they misplaced their identification. I plan on going to our safe deposit box tomorrow just to verify.


THanks Becka. I've done it several times, but I'll check again tonight.

:rotfl2: Good Laugh for a Monday morning. Thanks Becka.

[lbgraves]

:rotfl2:
Becka, It looks like a great read....one problem though, by the time you get to the end, there are 200 more pages to read! :teeth:

:banana:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[klineyqueen]

You didn't think I was drinking all those Starbucks drinks did you? Those are just my excuse to go there to see the guys!!
:rotfl: :lmao:

[lbgraves]

I used to do this every year. Now I just keep them all out throughout the year. I still have to go through them as the seasons change, but it keeps the boxes in the attic to a minimum. :thumbsup2

I do that with DS's clothes for the most part. Some hang in his closet & the rest go under his bed with the bigger clothes. DD just doesn't have the room for it. They both have the small closets and hers is packed with each season's clothes....along with the dresser. Her clothes are under her bed & on the top shelf of the closet along with a couple zip bags in the garage. Mine are completely switched out. Those all go in tubs in the cedar closet out there.

[lbgraves]

Nah...Carla and I can't wait to see the look on our DH's faces when they step through the doors! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

You are BAAAAAD! :rotfl2:

[klineyqueen]

I really try to not forget any dates. It means a lot to my DW.
That is very sweet Brack. My DH is the same way.

[klineyqueen]

Here is my project for the weekend. I haven't actually had time to scrap a layout in a few months due to work, but I did put this together for my boss tomorrow for Boss's day. It's filled with some candies and a Starbucks gift card.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/chefjoy/TsBox004.jpg
That is sweet. You must actually like your boss!!! :thumbsup2

[klineyqueen]

I want to be treated well the other 364 days as well as on that special... hear that old husband. I want the GOODS!!!!

I really can't complain my husband always comes thru... Last year I got one of those Past, present and future anniversary rings!!!
OOOhhhhh...that is nice!

[klineyqueen]

:lmao: Pathetic! :sad2: Just come clean and BE the green people! :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2:
I agree with you Angie! ;) Then your DD can openly talk about her many boyfriends!!! :rotfl:

[lbgraves]

Now that is an idea!! :idea: We can have our own mini meet, secretly conspired as an accidental meeting, mention the board as something we go to purely for information, and then talk about the crazy group that will be onboard with us! :thumbsup2

What happened to it?

That would work if you could actually avoid all of us at the terminal but too many of us know you already & you have two little boys who your youngest DD likes. I don't think that plan will work. :rotfl:

[lbgraves]

And you just told us this now?? When it is over here??

Yahoo says: Renovations on the home of a North Dakota couple who formed a Little League team for children with special needs; country music star Tim McGraw invites the family to attend one of his concerts. :confused3

That was the right one. How could they leave off the most important part?

[lbgraves]

Let's bring up kidney stones between that and jury duty those are the two things he's concerned about effecting his cruise.

From everything that I have seen posted on the main board, he could get jury duty delayed with a non refundable cruise.

[lbgraves]

If anyone wants to see a real tear jerker, just watch the first 15 minutes of Jersey Girl. I watched it last night and :sad:


I know, it's old and everyone has probably already seen it... :blush:

I haven't. Haven't even heard of it before.

[Jhalkias]

I am playing a very small violin for you right now John...right Lisa? ;)

Now I think even Lisa may admit that trying to work 60 hours a week and being a single parent might just make a teensy difference . . . :rotfl:

John1

[lillygator]

morning all.

another Monday.... I am really going to have to change jobs soon. This one is going to end up stifiling me to death.

Saw DH last night. I guess before I spill any beans is it alright to talk about it?

Something flew into our front window last night. I am not sure what it was and I wasn't going out in the dark to check it out, so I stayed up drifting but awoke with just about every noise. Johnny got up at four to go to work and I ended up watching Just Like Heaven. I thought it was cute, a definite chick flick but cute.

Now I must work....

[lbgraves]

Now I think even Lisa may admit that trying to work 60 hours a week and being a single parent might just make a teensy difference . . . :rotfl:

I don't hear a tiny implication that we don't "work" do I? :teeth: Technically, I did put in over 40 hours a week on PTO business last year.

[klineyqueen]

My aunt had hers delayed for a payed in full vacation. It really wasn't a big deal.

YES!!!! Then you can go on the 12/1/07 cruise! :cool1: :rotfl:

I think that Caroline still hasn't watched DH due to AR being delayed.

[klineyqueen]

What did you think of DH last night?

[klineyqueen]

Today my Girlfriend and I are taking the kids to Chuck E Cheese. My friends daughter wanted to go for her BDay....so we are going. My son is so excited. We go in the morning and then they play while it is virtually empty!

[lbgraves]

Good luck, Brandi. That place can get crazy at times, though it should be better with the big kids in school.

Not sure what I will get done today. DD woke up with DH at 5 and didn't go back to sleep...the pay back of her going to sleep early two nights in a row I suppose? She sat up playing in her room for a bit then they woke me up giggling. Both kids were in DS's bed tickling each other at 6:10 am!!! :( I made them go downstairs to watch TV & DS fixed each of them a bowl of cheerios with milk. I couldn't rest well though & hated when the alarm went off at 7. :( I am dragging now.

You are a proper Diser...making your kids get their own food!!! :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:

wow you are brave!

I took the girls to Chuck E Cheese once for a birthday party, I was alone....and OMG. They needed some kind of drug for the parents at the door. I have not heard so much screaming and carrying on in my life. I was so worn out at the end and the girls were just raring to go!

[pyramid2000]

Being a secret agent is much more fun - see dual agent - sometimes Green sometimes Not. Hmmm that sounds like a tshirt.

Or a button! Oh, Karen.... :teeth:

[BuzzBoyMom]

Did I read...oh....several hundred pages ago... :rolleyes1 ...that someone took the manifest and the ships layout and put people's name on thier cabin locations?

Just asking b/c I wanted to start to do that but I'm having trouble pulling a readable ships deck layout.

If someone has done that - let me know so I can cross this off my list.

THANKS!!!

[pyramid2000]

I love jury duty and always hope that I get called!! It just seems that most times I get called we are going on vacation and I have to be excused! Alathough the last time I went I was in the courtroom but never made it to the jury box and another time I sat all day waiting to be called and the defendent ended up taking a deal at the last minute.

I also wanted to do jury duty. I never had the chance yet, but I want to. Always cancelled or excused before. Call me crazy, but I think he it would be very interesting. My mom has been too many times to count. She always gets picked! :crazy:

[lillygator]

my sister....drives me crazy. Somehow she thinks the whole world is supposed to revolve around HER....

She just called, got her Halloween party tickets and wants to know if I included her and her boyfriend in our dinner plans which I made like 150 days ago. That would be a no dear.

She hung up on me! Brat!

[BuzzBoyMom]

Here is your Monday Laugh.....got it via email...had pictures...but they don't copy well...



Eat right!

Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.

Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C.

Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system.

Walk for at least an hour a day,

go for a swim,

take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.

Wash your hands often.

If you can't wash them, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.

Get lots of fresh air. Open doors & windows whenever possible.

Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.

Get plenty of rest.

OR

Take the doctor's approach.
Think about it...
When you go for a shot, what do they do first?
They Clean your arm with alcohol...
Why?
Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS.
So.......

I walk to the liquor store. (exercise)

I put lime in my Corona...(fruit)

Celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies)

Drink outdoors on the bar patio..(fresh air)

Tell jokes, laugh....(eliminate stress)

Then pass out. (rest)

The way I see it...

If you keep your alcohol levels up, flu germs can't get you!

My grandmother always said, "A shot in the glass is better than one in the __s!"


Live Well - Laugh Often - Love Much

This too should be out Dis Group Motto!!!!

[BuzzBoyMom]

My DH just went to bed. I think I am going to join him. Good night my friends!

Gosh....ever since Date Night...you just keep wanting to be with that DH. He's getting in the way of Dis-bonding!!! ;)

[lillygator]

My grandmother always said, "A shot in the glass is better than one in the __s!"


amen!


and I do recall DIS'ers from last year voting me most likely to pull a Cristi?

[lillygator]

will Santa Claus 3 be on our ship?
and they will be playing Pirates 2 right?

[lillygator]

and Desperate Housewives is so not meeting my expectations this year. I wish Six Feet Under were still on and SATC.
What happened to all the juicy stuff? Was it too much for regular TV?

[becka]

Becka - your DS is allergic to nuts, etc?

and I guess I never realized the peanut butter was age 2!!

No not my DS but my DH. Thankfully DS does not have the same allergies and so far it is looking good for DD. She is not allergic to beans or peas so we are hoping not to nuts either but we are pretty careful about keeping her away from them until she is at least 2.
