Not me unless I get a sugar daddy.

[fairykin]

:rotfl:
i always tell my husband.. i'm gonna get a sugarDaddY;)

So who all is meeting in vegas this weekend?

I love how there are always little mini meets going on. I never feel like I need to go to them all but I do like hearing about them. I guess it's just a happy feeling to know people you like are having a good time.:goodvibes

I may meet up with some people this weekend. ;)

[fairykin]

Vegas must really be affected by the recession. I am getting at least 3 offers each week from different casinos. I wonder what some of the casinos bottom numbers look like in a comparisson between 2 years ago and this year?

I love to look through Ceasars Forum mall.. but i always say..when you look in the door of a store and there are less than 50 pieces of clothing in the entire store..don't even bother going in.:rotfl:

You crack me up girl.

Ok, I need to get moving. I still have to finish an assignment and post it, email my instructor, and then go pick up my cap and gown. UGH! I'm running out of time!!!

Hugs for StaciegirL... LaterKins!:hug:

It is a gorgeous property! Who all is going to stay there?

I think it's just Debbie and I who will be staying there the first night. I thought WTH, we're there for Phantom anyway and it's just one night...... I wanted to stay at one over the top fantabulous Vegas hotel, even for only one night :woohoo:

[mommaU4]

That's $100 more, so the cheapest change would be the saturday arriving at 10:30 a.m.Wow, they really get you with all their fees. I hate flying. :sad2:


My mother stayed at the Venitian and she said it was to die for.
We've stayed there before and it's really nice. More recently we stayed at the Palazzo, the new sister property of The Venetian, which is even nicer and newer. I might have some pics from there......


It is a gorgeous property! Who all is going to stay there?Debra is sharing a room with Theresa the first night.



So who all is meeting in vegas this weekend?
No one that I know of. Unless they arranged a meet without me! :eek:
But next Friday the 22nd, Amy, Jane and I are meeting up with Donna for lunch. :)



I wanted to stay at one over the top fantabulous Vegas hotel, even for only one night :woohoo::thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

These are my pics from our room at the Palazzo which is the expansion of the Venetian.

Theresa, we've stayed at the Venetian twice. The first time we were in the original rooms which are done in a blue and gold color. The second time we were in the newer remodeled rooms which are almost identical to these at the Palazzo. Maybe you can request a newer room when you check in.
Both are nice though, so you really cannot go wrong. :goodvibes

They put a little sticker to seal their toilet paper. That cracked me up.

[ImMarcik]

Wow, that room is beautiful!

[fairykin]

Totally Gorgeous room!!! Thanks for sharing your pics Beth! I'm glad you got to go and stay in such a beautiful place.

Theresa.. yeahhhh.. it's so kewl you are going to get to spend your first night in vegas in such a lovely hotel! That will make your trip get off to a great start! Plus you've got DebbieLouWho with you.. ya'll will have lots of fun.

Beth... i can't keep everyone's mini meet dates in order..:rotfl: i can't even keep my own travel in order:rotfl2:... i need a MoNkeY BuTLeR..or a StaLkEr!:lmao:

[fairykin]

I always wonder..what do they do with all the pictures and lamps and stuff from when they refurbish a hotel?
I know in some cases it's throw away, but what about the rest?
:confused3

[mommaU4]

i need a MoNkeY BuTLeR..or a StaLkEr!:lmao:
Doesn't everyone? ;) :rotfl:


Yeah, we were just lucky we got to stay there. We cannot afford to spend money on rooms like that but I told ya'll my MIL likes to gamble and she gets free rooms at the Palazzo, the Venetian, and Planet Hollywood so she lets us crash in her room for one night while she stays here at our house with the kids. :goodvibes

[jordansmomma]

Hi girls!
How is everyone doing today?
I have been pretty busy. bleh...

The Venetian looks beautiful!!!!

So what are you ladies wearing to see Phantom?
I bought a cute pair of white Columbia capris to wear on Monday night to LOVE!!

Seriously...I thought it was later than 1:30.....

[fairykin]

Deb...i feel the same way...this day has lasted forever!:rotfl:
Ya'll are going to have such a happy time at the Venitian.

Beth...that sounds like a great deal to me! I Love to just go stay the night in a hotel, and that one is really great!

My mom has become obsessed with The Farm game online:confused3 i don't know anything about it... she just tells me... all our crops burned up because your dad didn't harvest them.:rotfl2:
Do you know what game she's talking about? Wendy plays it, too.

[ImMarcik]

I am sooo bored and ready to go home. I'm ready for a relaxing evening. My dd is going to her bf's grandpas house so it's my first night alone since all the drama started in my life. Then tomorrow night I'm going to salsa night with a girlfriend of mine. Finally a break.

I'm wearing a black dress to love, another dress to tony & tina's and my black & white zebra dress to chippendales. Is Friday night a dress up night?

[jordansmomma]

Farm game?
hmmm....I dunno :confused3

I am super excited!!!

[mommaU4]

So what are you ladies wearing to see Phantom?
I bought a cute pair of white Columbia capris to wear on Monday night to LOVE!!

That sounds cute. You're going to love Love. (That always sounds weird, lol) It's a fun show. They have a cute little gift shop by the main entrance so if anyone is a Beatles fan, save some money to pick up some souvenirs there.

I don't know what I'm wearing to Phantom. :confused3 I keep meaning to go through my closet but never do.

I bought a dress! I was inspired by Dawn. Doubt I'll ever wear it though. It's not a slinky, little black dress. Far from it. It's bright, and bold with a floral pattern. And I bought a white shrug to wear over it. I look very June Cleaver-ish. :rotfl2:
I should just return it and buy more tees and jeans. :rolleyes:



My mom has become obsessed with The Farm game online:confused3
I tried to play that because someone sent me an invitation to join it, but I got confused so I stopped. lol

I'm glad you are going to get a break! You deserve one. Sounds like it will be a fun night.

Dress up night??? :scared1:
Hmmm, ok, I'll look for a fancy tee and wear my best jeans. :rolleyes1 ;)

[ImMarcik]

Dress up night??? :scared1:

LOL I just asked that because on the schedule it says get all prettied up for a night out. But, with Freemont, I would think we will be more sweaty then anything. So, I doubt I dress up.

[Queenbillabong]

It's a fun game. Your mom should add some of the Divas to her Facebook and then they can be added as neighbors and send gifts! I love playing it - I have the cutest little pig :thumbsup2

Don't be silly - I'm sure it looks GREAT :thumbsup2

It's fun - you should give it a try. Once you have neighbors, you can do more things. Several of the Divas play.....

Dress up night??? :scared1:
Hmmm, ok, I'll look for a fancy tee and wear my best jeans. :rolleyes1 ;)


Make sure the shirt has some sparklies on it though, 'K??? Seriously, I'll be wearing nice jeans and a nice shirt (not a t-shirt) with my blinged out flip-flops :woohoo:

[mommaU4]

LOL I just asked that because on the schedule it says get all prettied up for a night out. But, with Freemont, I would think we will be more sweaty then anything. So, I doubt I dress up.Oh yeah, it does say that. Well, that's just because after Freemont we are going to the OG. :banana: So my definition of get all prettied up is some lipstick. :rotfl:



Don't be silly - I'm sure it looks GREAT Uh no. It really doesn't. :sad2:

[toocherie]

My mother stayed at the Venitian and she said it was to die for. I stayed at the Venetian several years ago with Ex Ex DBF and we saw Fabio. It was fabulous.

Chances are they won't have my size anyways.

Ditto--just as well!

[Stacerita]

I always wonder..what do they do with all the pictures and lamps and stuff from when they refurbish a hotel?
I know in some cases it's throw away, but what about the rest?
:confused3

I think they sell some of it.

You can dress up every night if you choose. Or dress down. that's the great thing about Vegas, no matter what you are wearing, you will still fit it.

Keep the dress. I think it sounds cute. Plus, you need at least one outfit thats different than what you normally wear. It will make you feel good. Trust me.

But I also do the tees and jeans.

LOL I just asked that because on the schedule it says get all prettied up for a night out. But, with Freemont, I would think we will be more sweaty then anything. So, I doubt I dress up.

What are you doing that you will be all sweaty??? You planning on going to glitter gulch???

[jordansmomma]

I am a capris and t-shirt kinda girl.
I dread dressing up. I like to be comfy.


a dress....:scared1:

[Queenbillabong]

What are you doing that you will be all sweaty??? You planning on going to glitter gulch???

OK - you know I have to ask........ WTH is Glitter Gulch???? :confused3

I stayed at the Venetian several years ago with Ex Ex DBF and we saw Fabio. It was fabulous.

I can't wait to go and see Phantom there (I will probably avoid the gondolas - no need to tempt fate like that ;))

Capris and tees are :thumbsup2


Is anyone planning on bringing a bathing suit and/or actually going swimming??????

[ImMarcik]

Thanks. :goodvibes I love to wear dresses. But I also like going down for coffee in the am in pajamas. :lmao: And well, I'm thinking if I'm in a dress, I'll do less bar crawling and more acting like a lady. :lmao: Then again there will be drinks involved.

glitter gulch???? moi???

[toocherie]

OK - you know I have to ask........ WTH is Glitter Gulch???? :confused3




Is anyone planning on bringing a bathing suit and/or actually going swimming??????

Glitter Gulch can't be described (well maybe Stacie can describe it)

I'm bringing a suit, but whether it gets put on for public viewing remains to be seen.

[ImMarcik]

Okay, since my Mom died I've gained about 5 pounds. I just tried on my dresses and yikes. :confused3 It's going to be hard to diet at WDW.

[mommaU4]

OK - you know I have to ask........ WTH is Glitter Gulch???? :confused3

It's a topless strip club. http://www.vegas.com/nightlife/stripclubs/glittergulch.html

I can't wait to go and see Phantom there (I will probably avoid the gondolas - no need to tempt fate like that ;))


Is anyone planning on bringing a bathing suit and/or actually going swimming??????Noooo! No bathing suits and definitely no swimming for me. But if anyone is game, they should. :thumbsup2

OKay, what do you mean you are avoiding the gondolas?? No you aren't. I won't let you. They are fun, and totally steady. You will be fine, and it's so nice to float down the canal by all the shops and be serenaded. :)



Okay, since my Mom died I've gained about 5 pounds. I just tried on my dresses and yikes. :confused3 It's going to be hard to diet at WDW.:hug: Well, you went through a very rough time, so it's not surprising.
But you still have time before your WDW trip. 5 pounds isn't much. You could probably lose it before you go, and then with all the walking in WDW hopefully maintain the loss while you are there.

[Stacerita]

OK - you know I have to ask........ WTH is Glitter Gulch???? :confused3

Not a place for ladies. ;)

Thanks. :goodvibes I love to wear dresses. But I also like going down for coffee in the am in pajamas. :lmao: And well, I'm thinking if I'm in a dress, I'll do less bar crawling and more acting like a lady. :lmao: Then again there will be drinks involved.

Yeah you.

Glitter Gulch can't be described (well maybe Stacie can describe it)

Nope, not even I can describe it.

I got that beat.....since I started school, I gained 50 pounds. UGH!

[wendylady36]

After an incident at Old Navy last month, I will NOT be wearing or owning a swimsuit anytime soon.

[jordansmomma]

Capris and tees are :thumbsup2

Umm...that would mean I would have to go and buy one...

Thanks mom!

Thats a bunch of stuff. I usually pack whatever will fit in my suitcase, and then figure if I need something, I can buy it there. But that's a good list.

[Stacerita]

I don't know about Wendy, but for me just trying the suit on is traumatic enough. :scared1:

You guys are all too hard on yourselves. I bought a cute suit from Sears at the end of last summer. Its cute, fits well, keeps the girls in place, and doens't make my flaws look worst than what they are. Im sure you guys look fine in your suits. Remember, I gained 50 pounds since starting school, I don't feel the best about myself in a swimsuit, but I sitll wear it. I don't want to miss out on stuff just because I don't have the "perfect" body. Get over yourselves or you are gonna miss out on fun.

[mommaU4]

Easier said than done sometimes. I haven't gone swimming in years and years. :rolleyes: Honestly, I couldn't tell you the last time I swam. :confused3

[jordansmomma]

Wow that is some list!!

[wendylady36]

I don't know about Wendy, but for me just trying the suit on is traumatic enough. :scared1:

That's what happened! :rotfl2:

I ended up in the dressing room trying on a swimsuit and sitting down wearing a too small one piece, near tears, eating a granola bar.

I know its easier said than done. But come on....swimming is fun. You are missing out by being to worried about your bodies. Seriously, when it comes down to it, no one cares. And anyone who does is just feeling bad about themself and wants to deflect it onto someone else. Suit up!


That's what happened! :rotfl2:

It can't be that bad. And its not your body that was the issue, the issue was the suit was too small. Get a healthy girl's swim suit and you will be fine.

Hey guys!!! I know I'm not joining this trip, but I got lonely over on the Disneyland thread!!

But I am in agreement with Stacie about--c'mon buy yourself a suit!! I know that I am a bit extreme...since I am the TOTAL water baby and spend about 4 hours a week swimming laps, but I wear my bulgy speedo with pride. No one cares what you got going on in your suit as long as you buy the appropriate suit and what you have going on is kept INSIDE the suit!!

I had a friend who spent an entire pool type vacation out of the water in a cover-up. Not wearing a suit didn't fool anyone...we knew she was chubby under that terry cloth, might as well brought it on out and gotten in the water!!

I would about NEVER give up a chance to play in a fun pool!!!

Exactly!

Seriously, I use a butt curtain at times, board shorts, cover ups and such to hide things when walking to and from the pool. But I am not about to miss out on things because I gained 50 pounds. Life is too short.

[jordansmomma]

I always wear a suit. But I always wear some sort of cover up thingy.
We have waverrunners, so we spend a lot of time on the water in the summer.

It was. I thought it would be too big.

It was. I thought it would be too big.

Then shop somewhere else. Go shop where they size the clothing right.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! ("curtain" - :rotfl2:)

I've used board shorts and swim skirts that velcro over your swimsuit. I buy my suits from Land's End which has all sizes and even long torso versions. I love tankini styles that are easy to get on and off but look like a one piece.

And - I have a skinsuit. This is a long sleeved, long legs, very lightweight stretchy material usually in black. It can be used under wetsuits or by itself to prevent sunburn or rashes from a boogie board. And it's also great at hiding cellulite. Prevents stings from jellyfish and other sea creatures.

Okay, switching topics, I am so sad to say that I went to Dl today (I had to rush back inside the house to print out the ring order sheet) and they told me they haven't had the rings for months.:scared:

Now I bought Beth's in Feb. And then I had called them way back when Beth asked for another and the woman said to me, "Don't worry, we always stock these." Anyway, it wouldn't have helped for anyone else to try in the last month or so as it must have been right after I spoke to her that they sold out. :furious:

I even checked other shops that had carried them too and they said the same thing.

So it is my quest now. I will keep trying and let you know what I find. Sometimes I worry about posting anything on these boards because it seems like lurkers rush down and buy them out. <sigh> If anyone is headed down there, I can give you the list.

[Stacerita]

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! ("curtain" - :rotfl2:)

PM me the list and where you think we might find them. I am going this weekend sometime, and two or three more times before the end of the month.

[wendylady36]

Then shop somewhere else. Go shop where they size the clothing right.

I can't afford those places. :sad2:

[ImMarcik]

Thanks for the list! With the way my mind has been lately it will be nice to have something to go by.

[Stacerita]

I can't afford those places. :sad2:

People in the real world never can.

[mommaU4]

That's what happened! :rotfl2:

I ended up in the dressing room trying on a swimsuit and sitting down wearing a too small one piece, near tears, eating a granola bar.Ugh, don't you hate that. Seriously. I've been there, done that. Not just with suits but with other things.
Were you bummed about something else already? The reason I ask, is because my mood greatly affects how I think I look. Meaning, my weight and everything can stay the same, but if I'm already stressed about some other aspect of my life, my confidence ends up shot, and I think I look like crap.

But on a good day, when things are going smoothly and I go out or go shopping, if I feel good, well rested, and such, then I think I look pretty darn good, even though nothing has really changed. Kwim?

So only shop when you are in the right frame of mind and feeling good. I hope that makes sense.



Not wearing a suit didn't fool anyone...we knew she was chubby under that terry cloth, might as well brought it on out and gotten in the water!!
:eek: You mean people know I'm really chubby under here???

;) I know what you mean. Sometimes I like to think I can hide it, but really, who are we kidding. :rotfl: Thanks for the advice, and come over and play here anytime.




You forgot the most important thing--alcohol!!!! and jello!
I just thought we'd buy those here during our grocery run. ;)



It was. I thought it would be too big.
I've done that too. Tried on something that to me, looked huge and I thought no way will that fit, only to have it fit perfectly. :scared1:
Hang in there hon. Don't be so down on yourself. No matter what, you are beautiful, fun, and a total sweetheart. Always remember that.




Okay, switching topics, I am so sad to say that I went to Dl today (I had to rush back inside the house to print out the ring order sheet) and they told me they haven't had the rings for months.:scared:
Oh bummer. Well shoot. Thanks for checking though. We still have time, maybe Stacie will have better luck between now and then.




Thanks for the list! With the way my mind has been lately it will be nice to have something to go by.:thumbsup2 Hopefully everything's on there. lol Can't imagine what I could have missed. :rotfl:

[ImMarcik]

Sweet, I am posting from my blackberry. I wanted to figure out the dis on here before WDW. My daughter got sick at school today so I've spent the afternoon laying on the couch watching tv.

[Stacerita]

I so need to be in Vegas!

[Stacerita]

I decided that I am going to strictly use my Vegas name that entire week.

Felony Papageorgio

Felony PapageorgioThat's hot. :smokin:


So what the heck was my name again? I know originally it was Yvonne, but did I ever switch it to something else?? :confused:


Morning ladies, or actually it's afternoon! Hope you all have a good day.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Here is the ring list I made. I thought I would post it in case Cheryl is in the parks. It also gives everyone a chance to see their order.

Whoever finds them first should call or email us so we don't duplicate.

5 purple (including Dawn), 3 pink, 1 blue, 1 green.

Rings:

Stacerita, Theresa, Beth, Debbie, Cheryl, Stacielee, Donna, Marcie, (and Dawn is a maybe – see note below)

2) Handle on the board: Queenbillabong/Theresa/Bambi
1st color choice: Pink
2nd color choice: Purple
3rd color choice: Blue
4th color choice: Green
So I guess yes, I will take whatever color there is

3) Theresa wants a second ring - so go down her list for the next ring.

4) handle on the board:MommaU4/Yvonne/Beth
1st choice color: Blue (it was so pretty!)
If that's not available, I will take which ever color you think is the most brilliant/shiny.
5)
handle on the board: Jordansmomma/Princess
1st choice color:Purple
2nd choice color:pink
3rd choice color:Blue
Will take any color:

10) handle on the board: Dawn/Tinc Urbel
1st choice color:Purple
2nd choice color:Green
3rd choice color:Pink
Will take any color:Si,

[mommaU4]

My daughter got sick at school today so I've spent the afternoon laying on the couch watching tv.

Marcie, I wanted to say I hope your DD is feeling better now. And I'm glad you were able to figure out your blueberry or raspberry or whatever those things are! (Can you tell I don't even own a cell phone, let alone any other fancy electronics?? LOL)





Donna, thanks for posting that and keeping track of it all. Hopefully something will work out. If not, other places sell those fun, funky rings. I have a pink heart one from Kohls that would work too.
See you in a few days!! It's super hot here today. Around 102-103. I hope it cools down some before you get here. I know how you hate the heat. :scared:

Yikkes! I can't believe it! I thought I was going to beat the heat. Let's think coooolll thoughts. ;)

I've even looked online for something like these rings but nothing comes close to the value. We'll keep checking.

Wow, I didn't know you don't carry a cell phone. Actually, you'll be the only one who doesn't have brain cancer in the future. Did you know brain surgeons never put one of these to their ears? I always try to use an ear bud or the speaker but once in a while you get caught...

I can't recall your other stripper names... why don't you run it one more time?

[ImMarcik]

That's hot. :smokin:

I was trying to remember to, I was Trouble and then Roxy MeadowHarley. So I think I'll be Trouble MeadowHarley, or heck just Trouble Harley.

[jordansmomma]

Donna~ I don't think you are going to beat the heat.

How is everyone today?

[Stacerita]

Today was terribly long and I dind't get anything accomplilshed. Problem on campus with my log in and computer, so after about 1 1/2 hours, still coulnd't start my final. So I got irritated and left. Only the crazy parent showed up at the closing day ceremonies, and I had to listen to her rant for an hour. So we grabbed Taylor's trophy and headed out. Then is was one thing after another. UGH! So now James Taylor and I are hanging out watching some tv.

Hope everyone had a good day!

[toocherie]

lol--when I first read this I thought you were hanging with James Taylor the singer!

[Stacerita]

Well then I would have said how great things were that "James Taylor" and I were hanging out.

I probably should start saying Taylor James and I.

[Queenbillabong]

Sorry you had a rough day yesterday, Felony! Hopefully today is better and Vegas is coming, baby!!! :woohoo:

[mommaU4]

I can't recall your other stripper names... why don't you run it one more time?
There were too many to remember. I kept taking that name generator quiz over and over and now I can't remember any of them. The last one I remember was Candy.

I still like Angel. :angel: :rolleyes1



I was trying to remember to, I was Trouble and then Roxy MeadowHarley. So I think I'll be Trouble MeadowHarley, or heck just Trouble Harley.:rotfl2: OMG, with all those names, I'm gonna end up saying, "Hey you". :rotfl:



Thanks, now I'm not feeling the best either. :confused3 We went to a red box and rented a few more movies, just laying around today. I call mine a pinkberry. :lmao:
Uh oh, well if you're going to get sick better now then next month with all your trips!

Morning Vegas gals!!!

I hope you are all having a good day today.

We need a name to call ourselves. You know, like for the Disneyland trip we say we are the DIS Divas. We need something separate and a little more spicy for the Vegas gals.
Uhh, but I suck at creative thinking stuff like that, so someone else work on that would ya? :rolleyes1 :thumbsup2

[toocherie]

Stacerita will be good at coming up with a name!

the only thing I can think of is DisQueens.

Just got back from DL--

saw Stacielee for a bit yesterday--one downside of having a puppy is that you can't hang out TOO long. It was good to see her--we actually chilled for a bit on the front porch of one of the places on Main Street having coffee and chatting. did a couple of rides, had lunch and I came home.

Today I had the Sweet Sundays event with some people from another site. It was strawberry day--the desserts were a strawberry shortcake (pretty traditional--but good), a strawberry ice cream bon bon with white chocolate coating, and an ice cream sandwich made with a macaroon and strawberry sorbet (that was the best). Then, as if I wasn't stuffed enough (they give you a breakfast brunch) I met some people from another website for lunch! Dawn and her DH came and it turned out Stacie and her DBF and daughter were in the park too so they joined us--along with Yellow Mickey Ponchos and her family. Now I am SLEEPY. I just had part of the pizzetta salad because I really was pretty full (and honestly don't see what people rave about).

so I think I'm going to go take a nap and will chat with you all later!

We posted at the same time.......and I can't think of anything as far as a name right now. I may need to sleep on it or wash my hair to stimulate my brain. It was great seeing you and all of us being able to join each other for lunch. I'm sleepy too. But I got homework to finish. I thought Lunch was super yummy though.

I should have had the chicken sandwich or lasagna--they are much better IMO than the salad. But I was "trying" to be healthier. Bad choice!

The lasagna was super good. The sauce tasted homemade. The dessert that Taylor got, something called chocolate creme was yummy!


Have any of you stayed at Paradise Pier? James and I are doing a quick getaway, and I have somewhere in Seal Beach booked right now, but can get PP for just a little more. Seeing what you thought and if it would be worth it.

[mommaU4]

Hey gals!
Sounds like a fun, and yummy, day. :goodvibes

Stacie, go wash your hair and come back with something fabulously creative for us. ;)

[ImMarcik]

I only have 2 more weekends before WDW yikes. :scared1: I started a list today and have to get my dd to the mall, she only has one pair of shorts that aren't too small. The good news is I now fit in 2 of her shorts that don't fit her anymore, the bad news is, that means I've went up a size. I hate that all this stress has made me gain weight. :confused3
I want to be in Vegas now.

Stacie--I LOVE the Paradise Pier. If I can't get a super-great rate at GCH, then my "go to" place is the PPH. I like it better than the DHotel. Plus, you can walk through the GCH and take the back ways in (don't walk through DTD unless you want to go through there). The rooms are large and I feel well-appointed. My ONLY complaint is that the elevators are notoriously slow--especially going downstairs in the morning (so if you're on a lower floor--go up to go down--KWIM?)

Come stand next to me and you'll be looking mighty fine and feeling real good about yourself! ;) :rotfl:

Seriously, I'm sorry you've been stressed, and gained some weight, but it happens. You've been through a lot. Give yourself a break. Focus on your upcoming fun and the time you're getting to spend with your DD. Then come have a blast with us in Vegas, and don't worry about anything else.
Eventually life will get back on track and so will you. :goodvibes

I may consider switching then. How are the bathrooms there? Big and roomy? The tub nice? Or is it just a regular/smallish bathroom? I have a regular size bathroom at home, so when we go away, we like a treat KWIM? Compare it to Hojo if you can. Thanks!

The bathroom is similar to Hojo in that it is a normal tub. Nice vanity--but your standard tub with shower curtain. The bed area is bigger--usually has a day bed type thing and a desk with a chair. If you want a "tub for two" this would not be the place--but for that matter even the standard rooms at GCH wouldn't be either.

LOL--did you see the Roman tub in my bathroom? I've never been in it--hmmmm maybe I'll have to have you and James house sit sometime and you can try it out!

I will stick with what I have already. Its a nice sunken tub. I think its jetted as well. Should double check that. Thanks.

Yes, I did see your tub. Can't believe you never been in it. Don't let James hear you offer. He may just show up at your place with a plane ticket in hand for you to get gone. But seriously, if you ever need a house sitter, let me know. We are also pet friendly.

Morning Vegas gals! 33 days before we hit the Strip!!! :banana:

Woo hoo :woohoo: :woohoo:

Yay, it's getting closer :yay:

I know. It will be here before we know it.

Right now we are redoing my bathroom, so I have tons of stuff piled up everywhere. As soon as that's done, I am gonna pull out my suitcases and start getting my stuff ready. I can't wait!

[toocherie]

I know. It will be here before we know it.



Ohhh--whatcha' doin' to the bathroom? I've been wanting to re-do my bathroom or the kitchen--just haven't had the motivation to do it!

[Stacerita]

Ohhh--whatcha' doin' to the bathroom? I've been wanting to re-do my bathroom or the kitchen--just haven't had the motivation to do it!

Taking out the vanity, sink and cabinets and re doing all of them. Changing the whole theme of the bathroom. Plus we are re painting and re doing all the fixtures as well.

It should be done in a few days.

We re did the kitchen a few years ago and that about killed us. Took more months to do than we planned on, and it just sucked all the way around. Love the kitchen now though.

The bathroom is going from a nautical theme with navy blue and white with gold fixtures, to white, with black and gray and brush nickel fixtures. Not sure how to explain. I will try to take some pics.

Whatcha gonna pack???? I could so pack right now, but then I'd just drive everyone in the house crazier than normal with my sad eyes and whining - Can I go now?? Is it time yet?? :rotfl2: I try to start packing no longer than a week before a trip or my husband thinks I'm completely bonkers (usually he just thinks I'm halfway bonkers :thumbsup2)

LOL. I will probably start off by packing the things I bought for the trip, and things I said I was gonna bring. Then I will toss in some clothes and shoes. But I leave my suitcase open so I can add or subtract as needed. Then I will over stuff my suitcases, and when I realize that, I will try to downsize. But I will end up just grabbing another bag. Then I will add more shoes and then make sure everything is topped off in my tolietry bag.

See, that's the good thing about being in driving distance! I have to carefully weigh everything plus leave room for picking up stuff while I'm away. My suitcase can't weigh more than 50 pounds total :scared1: Not fair!!

I would love to see photos. So you're replacing the sink and cabinets then? I need to remodel my bathrooms in the worst way. I've got this marble top that goes the length of the bathroom (picture a long skinny room) and not sure if I should bring in guys to shine it up or not. I've heard it's possible.

[jordansmomma]

Can it be June 20th yet????


How are you girls today?

[Queenbillabong]

Can it be June 20th yet????


How are you gilrs today?

I so WISH :rotfl: It's another crazy work week - lots of training to do, so tiring for sure. But June is almost here :cheer2:

It's still so cold here (so unusual for this time of the year). It's supposed to rain until Wednesday, then get a bit nicer for the end of the week.

[jordansmomma]

It was 85-90 here yesterday. It was so nice!! Today it has been pretty windy, so far. UGH...the AC guys back on Thursday morning to finish repairing the AC!! It was so hot in my house last night......

So I hope the wind keeps blowing today, so I can just open the windows & keep the breeze flowing through!!

[CaliforniaDreamer]

This is not a time to be w/o a/c! Hoping for breezes for you.

Theresa, a little rain sounds awfully nice right now... (have you ever felt an earthquake?)

[Queenbillabong]

Yes, the West Coast of BC gets a lot of earthquakes too. We're on a fault line (a couple, actually). I used to hate it when I worked downtown in a hospital and you could feel the buildings swaying - :eek:

[jordansmomma]

I know!! It was horrible last night...we were so miserable!
It is still pretty darn breezy outside!
I am hoping it stays that way.

[mommaU4]

Debra, I hope your AC gets fixed soon. I remember when we lived in MI for three years, we had no air conditioning at all. Typically in Northern MI you don't need it. You need heat more than anything. lol

But we had a few really hot days each summer where it would be humid and over 90, and those days were just miserable. :scared:



I hope all the Vegas gals are having a good day today!! :cool1:

[Stacerita]

Just passing through to say hello!

[ImMarcik]

Oh man Deb, I hope they fix your AC soon. That is just uncool. Literally.

Cute!
I like the second pair.
I am not a blingy type a girl, but I do like the second pair.

It must be because where I work, its Nikes or Doc Martens & no crystals or blingy type of things.

[mommaU4]

I like the second pair, especially for Vegas. :thumbsup2

[ImMarcik]

I vote second pair.

[Queenbillabong]

Woo hoo - great minds think alike! I was leaning towards the second pair, just for something a little different :thumbsup2

[CaliforniaDreamer]

I'm also for the second pair. They're just a little different.

[Stacerita]

Morning ladies. On my way to take my last two finals. See you all when I am done with school!!!

Stacie, good luck on your test. :wizard:



I just checked the website and the locals offer for the Stripper 101 class is still listed there, so hopefully we can book those tickets soon. I've received a "letter" from Marcie so far. :thumbsup2



I was at Sam's Club last night. I had found the Rosa at another Sam's Club for $18, instead of the $23 it was in the grocery store, well, at the one I was at last night which is actually the one closest to me, they had it for $16! So I bought one more.
What I'm going to do with it, I don't know. :rotfl2: Hopefully someone will drink it. ;)


Have a wonderful, fabulous day ladies!! Is it June yet?!?!?! :cool1: :banana:

I'm all for new adventures, but I have to say, this would absolutely FREAK me out!!! A fake kidnapping?? Uh, no thanks! :scared1:

[jordansmomma]

can I change my flight before I leave?????

So I just logged into SW. So now the flight that lands at 1:05 is now at a lower rate. So instead of getting there hours before Theresa, I will be landing just before she does.

Theresa~ when do you land? What airline?

That's great about the lower rate!! Lower is always better when it comes to plane tickets. :thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

I just want to make sure I have this list updated. I know Jane couldn't make it after all because she has to pick up her son after daycare, and Wendy asked to be taken off, so I think it's now current, but let me know if anyone else has changed their mind. Thanks! :)

Sounds good to me. You should be receiving my letter any day now. I think it's less time for me to send something there than it is for something to arrive here :rolleyes1 There is still no way on this green Earth that I'm wearing high heels though - no need to put everyone else in danger!!!

Damn skippy. I think James is more excited about this classs than I am.

[mommaU4]

Exactly! That's what I was thinking. I don't think I would like getting kidnapped even knowing it was fake. That's just way too freaky even for me. :rotfl:

[Stacerita]

Exactly! That's what I was thinking. I don't think I would like getting kidnapped even knowing it was fake. That's just way too freaky even for me. :rotfl:

Yeah, and my luck I would really be kidnapped while waiting for the fake one and stupid me would just go along with it since I signed up for the damn game.

Hey, I'm taking the class - that's living a LOT for me ;)

Exactly! That's what I was thinking. I don't think I would like getting kidnapped even knowing it was fake. That's just way too freaky even for me. :rotfl:

Not for me either. The Haunted Tour is my kind of scared (okay, I probably would not sleep that night if we actually saw something), but this is not the same kind of scary :sad2:

[jordansmomma]

[Stacerita]

Don't let him talk to James then. That's what he wants to do. Men!

Oh, and James thought I was serious when I talked about my stripper song. You remember when we took those quizes to get our "stripper song". James thought it was something to actually do with the class so he has been looking all over town for my song so I will be prepared when I take the class next month. :lmao:

[mommaU4]

Yeah, and my luck I would really be kidnapped while waiting for the fake one and stupid me would just go along with it since I signed up for the damn game.:lmao: No kidding! That would be my luck too. Can you imagine the kidnappers faces? :confused: :rotfl2:





Yikes - what if he wants to put in a stripper pole at home??? :scared:
Are you saying that it's not appropriate to have a stripper pole in your home? :confused3 :rolleyes1



Ya, that is a little to creepy for me...Definitely. I'll try just about anything, but I'm not into that fake kidnapping crap! I wonder how real they make it seem? Gives me chills just thinking about it.

I will get stamps in the morning.

Don't laugh at me. I can't help that I am slow. I'm gonna cry now because I am being shunned. How unfair life is. I may have to fling stuff onto the walls because I am being treated unfair. Im gonna report you to the mods if you dont' watch it.;)

[Stacerita]

Well now that school is over, I can offically start packing and getting ready for the trip. Can put away my books and back pack for good. We will have a washer and dryer right? There are a few items that I plan to mix and match, and will need to wash during the week.

Hi Jane! I sent you a PM. :thumbsup2



Saturday gals (Debra, Theresa, and Cheryl too if you're there in time) I just wanted to toss out another lunch idea. There is a place in the Venetian called the Grand Lux Cafe. http://www.grandluxcafe.com/menu.htm

It's actually owned by the founder of the Cheesecake Factory so a lot of the menu is very similar. Check it out, and especially check out the desserts! Some of them are baked to order....... (drool!!)

I've never been there, but I've heard it's just as good as the Cheesecake Factory, so that's another option. I will leave it up to you. The Cheesecake Factory is in Caesars so maybe you'd prefer to see some of Caesars and not just stay in the Venetian. Or maybe you'd prefer not to have to do any walking and just stay in the hotel and kick back until the show.

OR we can go to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and hit the Grand Lux for a fresh baked dessert after the show.

Think it over. We can always decide that day. :goodvibes

Oooh - they have a pineapple upside down cake with macadamia nuts :eek: I'm so in for this!!! It sounds good to me :thumbsup2 Either before or after the show, whichever we feel like. Beth - you are the hostess with the mostess and come up with the best ideas!

[jordansmomma]

I am pretty sure I just gained 10 pounds drooling over the Molten Choc cake, pineapple upside down cake, strawberry shortcake.......insert drooling smiley here........


Oh man...I am good with whatever.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that we have the Grand Lux here at the Beverly Center. I've eated there a few times and at Cheesecake many many times. (but I don't know if I've ever had the cheesecake because the meals are so big).

The Lux is more expensive and a tad fancier. I recall the food was great at both places. If money is an issue, you'll have just as good a time at the Cheesecake as the Lux. If you're only going for dessert, it probably won't matter that much.

Both are wonderfully yummy.

Seriously though... i just have a grateful heart for the very special time i got to share with My DH and Friends.

So it was YOUR fault then??? :lmao:

Pretty pink drinks!!!

I know, very pretty - I could use one about now ;)

[mommaU4]

Oooh - they have a pineapple upside down cake with macadamia nuts :eek: I'm so in for this!!! It sounds good to me :thumbsup2 Either before or after the show, whichever we feel like. Beth - you are the hostess with the mostess and come up with the best ideas!

I am pretty sure I just gained 10 pounds drooling over the Molten Choc cake, pineapple upside down cake, strawberry shortcake.......insert drooling smiley here........


Oh man...I am good with whatever.



The Lux is more expensive and a tad fancier. I recall the food was great at both places. If money is an issue, you'll have just as good a time at the Cheesecake as the Lux. If you're only going for dessert, it probably won't matter that much.

Both are wonderfully yummy.



OK, so why don't we plan on lunch at Cheesecake Factory, and an after-show dessert at Grand Lux. Sort of the best of both worlds. :thumbsup2






Stacie, have fun today!!

Dawn, welcome back!!

Theresa, TGIF and I am loving those drinks!!

Debra, Marcie, Wendy, and everyone else have a good day!

Donna, I'll see you, Amy and Jane later on!!

Not the first time I've heard that. :lmao:









Hello Vegas gals!! Lunch was with Donna and Jane. Amy was sick and couldn't make it after all. Poor thing, she has pneumonia!

Anyway, we had a really nice time. It was fun chatting with them again. Donna looked great. Very classy and Vegas like. Jane looked good as always.

Lunch was great. The Burger Bar was a fun place. Donna was so sweet! She treated Jane and I to lunch and to a private tour of Shark Reef afterward. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Donna!!!!! :goodvibes

[toocherie]

Wow! Look at that blond hair, red lips and dark glasses. Now that's a Diva. ;)

Lunch was with Donna and Jane. Amy was sick and couldn't make it after all. Poor thing, she has pneumonia!



Yes, Dawn is a Diva through and through! A great role model for up and coming Divas!

Glad you had a great time with Donna and Jane. Amy--sorry you're sick--feel better!

[CaliforniaDreamer]

You are so welcome, Beth. It was really fun seeing you two in person again! Poor Amy, I hope she recovers in time to enjoy part of her holiday weekend.

Everyone - you are going to have a fabulous time in June, Vegas is so amazing. And I didn't even see it lit up at night the way you will! The big intersection as you enter the strip is like Times Square on steroids. And everything is bigger than you can imagine. I wish I had worn a pedometer today so I'd know how many steps I took - and I never left Mandalay Bay!

I see why Beth says you will need comfortable shoes. She's not kidding.

We were having so much fun that Beth and Jane wished they could play hookey but both really had to return to real life (Beth to pick up her kids and Jane to a work meeting). I had a little planned casino time. So many machines! And they're all colorful and singing out, doing a little song and dance vying for my money. My fantasy is I'll put a dollar into a machine and it will spit out a million. I was drawn to a $1 machine because it had a payout of 6 or 7 figures. It said something about three dollars so I fed it three dollars. And with three quick tries, there went that money!

I quickly moved on to the penny machines. I found a Leonardo one that had paintings and jewels. Okay, I would rather stare at those than some donkeys and cherries. I fed it $5. I could barely understand how it determined when I won and when I lost but I was doing some winning.

Then some Italian girls came and sat down two seats over from me. One was yelling into her cell and they all three were smoking. I looked over and realized they weren’t even playing the slot machines – they were just using this as a place to sit and smoke and drink. But I didn't want to leave my machine.

Anyway, I was playing along, not winning, and then it said something about how I was a random winner. It wasn’t like the right paintings lined up or anything – but it more than doubled my money.

That seemed like a good time to move on.

I found the video poker which to me takes more skill than these slot machines (or maybe I just don’t understand them). I know poker, so I did jacks or better. I was distracted by some college kids behind me. They hit some jackpot on their slot machine and it was spinning and spinning. Every 30 seconds the guy would say, “it’s still f-ing going!” Then he’d say to the girl, “You’re buying drinks!” They were just a shade short of screaming. I figured maybe this is what you do when you win big. You let everyone know.

After what must have been 15 minutes of this, the machine finally stopped. We were all curious to see what they’d won. It had to be big money. $10,000? $50,000? No. $50.

They stopped screaming.

Anyway, returning to my poker, I was winning enough to double my money (hey, much better than current CD rates!), when I thought I should consult my phone to see what time it was. It was 5:15 and my flight was 5:45! I fell victim to the well-known “no-clock” policy!

I cashed out, hopped in a cab. The doorman said to take Tropicana to get to the airport fast. The cab driver thought that meant go to the Tropicana club first, but I managed to straighten him out. Happily, no one was flying out of Vegas this weekend and the security line was empty. I made it on the flight with a few minutes to spare.

As we climbed into the air, I looked out the window and saw Mandalay Bay shimmering in all her goldness in the sunset. I wondered who was sitting at my lucky poker machine now... and would they win the jackpot?

Maybe it'll be one of you.
:wizard:

[fairykin]

aahhh Donna.. that was a great trip review!
It is fun, isn't it. And yes, i always have a "my machine".
I'm glad you had such a great trip.
Vegas has great shopping, wonderful food.. and many oppurtunies for big fun.
My DH always reminds me when i'm pouting i lost... he says... dawn.. they don't build those beautiful casinos and give you all the free things on people winning. he's sooooo true!:rotfl:

CheryL... rooM ServiCe BaBeY!:cutie: You spoiled me with the magic of the Grand.:wizard:

Beth...just a box of hair dye, a pair of scissors and a tube of Iman red lipstick....:rotfl:

I'm so glad you all had a wonderful time.:yay:

[mommaU4]

Great mini TR Donna!! See, I think you'd do well spending several days in Vegas. Next time for sure. ;)

I love this line: "I fell victim to the well-known “no-clock” policy!" :rotfl2: Told ya, it works! lol That would make a cute tag for you too. :thumbsup2

Thanks for sharing how the rest of your day went. :)

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Thanks, Beth. I hope you feel better (I hope it wasn't the humidity in Shark Reef...).

[jordansmomma]

It sounds like you guys had a great time today!

[fairykin]

Alright i made a page for Little Churro on Facebook.
It probably looks like a crackhead but oh well i'm a computer dufus:rotfl:
So how do i get ya'll as friends on facebook?
Little Churro's page name is..
Little Churro

[jordansmomma]

By our first and last name

[Queenbillabong]

Donna - it sounds like you had a fantastic time in Vegas and even came out a bit ahead money-wise (always a good thing :thumbsup2).

There's still time to change your mind and come in June..................... Just sayin :rotfl:

[fairykin]

Speaking of winnings in vegas.

What is everyone's practice on that?

If you win do you play with those winnings?
Or do you cash them out and save them, then put new money in?
Or are your winnings stolen by evil monKeys?

for me, if it's a win of over 20 dollars i cash it out and save it.
then when i go home i turn them in and go home with a little money for the next trip.

but i've had trips when i was sssqqquuueeellloorrrring to Bob.. give me 20 more.. this is a LucKy machine.. i can teLL!:rotfl2:

[mommaU4]

Thanks, Beth. I hope you feel better (I hope it wasn't the humidity in Shark Reef...).Oh no, not at all. I think since it's been hotter, I need to increase my water intake. I rarely drink water anymore and I need to.



Alright i made a page for Little Churro on Facebook.

I sent him a friend's request.

Winnings?? What winnings? I never win. But if I did, I'm sure it would then be stolen by the evil monkeys. :sad2:



Morning Vegas gals!!

[jordansmomma]

Morning girls

I am so tired today!
The lip sync last night was so much fun!

We are all moving along so slow today!
The boys are getting ready so we can go to the carnival--have I mentioned I hate carnivals? Carnival rides are the worst!

Winnings....I never win anything.......those darn evil monkeys laugh and me and go running away with my money!!

[fairykin]

We played Keno on our first trip to vegas.. and never won a dime.. my husband was like.. well hhmmmm.
our friends came up and said.. so how do you play this game Keno?
Bob said... well.. a cute girl comes up..and you give her some money..then she wanders off.. and you never see your money again.:lmao:

The first time we ever went to vegas we were such little country folk.. like goLLLLeY... wOw!:rotfl2:
i guess i always carry that part of me inside:goodvibes

So when we go to vegas... i'm going to go to the Titanic exhibit.. and to the Wax Museum.. just thought i'd throw it out there.. don't know if anyone is interested or not.:confused3

How is everyone's weekend going? Everyone is coming to our home tomorrow for bbq and homemade ice cream. Monday is the local balloon festival so the kids and grandkids will go to that. :goodvibes

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Thanks, Theresa! I am doing some traveling in July and that was another reason that I decided I needed to move up my little Vegas visit. I know you guys are going to make some great memories there. I will have to enjoy the stories.... ;)

(three kind dorky college guys sat behind me on the shuttle in from the airport. One said that his other friend asked him what he was going to do in Vegas. He told him, "See some shows, drink a lot, and then see what happens." They were out of some college road trip movie.

Try video poker next time... Yeah carnivals rides = boring. DL rides = fun.

[bigskyernurse]

Hi Vegas gals!!

Donna...so sorry I missed your visit. I actually dragged my butt in the shower and got dressed, thinking I could make it. But I am still barely able to walk across the room without having trouble breathing, so I decided heading to the strip (where you can't really avoid walking) was probably not the best idea.

Sounds like you all had a blast and I wish I could have been there!!

I'm just trying to get my strength back. It kills me to be sick. So much I have to do, especially now. I of course brought work home and got this crazy idea I would use this home time to work ahead in school also but I really can't think straight enough to do any of that.

Tomorrow is the last day of my antibiotics and I honestly don't feel any better, might need to go back in for something else.

About the Vegas trip...I am definitely coming to Love, and will drop in for other things too, but I am waiting to find out when we will close escrow before I make permanent plans. We finally found a house last week and will close within 30 days which if course puts moving close to the Vegas trip. But we aren't moving far, so it won't be bad. I'll work it out so I can still see you guys, just not sure which days yet.

And I am supposed to have a big weekend next week so I need to get better!! Paul got tickets to the lion king for mothers day. We are going sat night. then sun am I am supposed to hit the road with my middle child (sam) to head to DLR for a 3-day quick trip. The developer points I got from buying DVC *thanks again Cheryl*!! covered enough for me to make 3 seperate trips to the Grand Cali. So I am taking each child seperately for mom and me time. We've never stayed there before so I am excited. Just need to get healthy.

Happy Memorial Day weekend friends!!

LOL--I have done the "lucky" machine thing too--and poured tons of money into it thinking "it's gonna hit on the next spin"--LOL. I generally take a certain amount I'm not afraid to lose--so unless it's a "big" win (over $100) I generally run it back in. However, I usually take part of my gambling money home. I love penny slots! I hope some of my faves are still there--my all time fave was "turkey shoot"--it was so much fun--but it's an "oldie" now so it's probably not around.

Actually Madame Tussauds is on the schedule as an option for Friday I think it is. I'm definitely interested in that. I think taking some group photos there will be a hoot! :thumbsup2

The Titanic exhibit isn't my thing so I'll pass on that. :) But let me know how you like it! I'm curious to hear what you think as some reviews I've read have been rather mixed.....:confused3

Congrats on the new house!! So exciting. Guess that means you're stuck in Vegas for awhile now. lol Can't wait to hear more about it.

How awesome that you are going to see Lion King. Let me know how it is. Ruben and I will probably be seeing it this summer when his parents come to town so they can babysit for us.
And enjoy your DL trip! Lots of fun things to look forward to. Get better asap!!! :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:




Okay, who else thinks this should be our theme??LOL
Me. :thumbsup2

[fairykin]

Beth.. i've seen the Titanic exhibit..twice.. i just really like it.:goodvibes
Once we took a group of people from work..and another time i took my mother.

wow the Grand was so lovely..and CheryL made sure we had such a great room... the view was beautiful. right center with the bridge and the monorail.. it was so pretty at night.:lovestruc

[jordansmomma]

Okay, who else thinks this should be our theme??

Good idea!!

Amy I hope you start feeling better. Mom and me trips are so fun!

We were at the carnival for about an hour and then Kaeleb started feeling bad, he went on a few more rides and then we called it a day. He slept for over an hour. When he woke up we watched Bedtime stories. Now we are home getting ready for bed.

[mommaU4]

Dawn, wow, it must be good if you are seeing it for a third time. :rotfl2: I love the movie. Maybe I'll have to check it out one of these days. I think my older two kids might like it. Not sure if it would be boring for the twins. They are only 8. :confused3


Deb, sorry to hear Kaeleb got sick. That's a bummer. Did you like Bedtime Stories? We watched Mall Cop and it wasn't all that great.



Night ladies!!

[fairykin]

Oh Debra.. i hope he's feeling much better this morning. Did you like Bedtime Stories? Maybe we will watch it tomorrow, depending on your review.:goodvibes

Beth....It was wonderful for me as a little girl i would read national geographic and see images of what the ship was like. So to see the exhibit they have those pictures in their original state.. the photos of when they found the items beneath the sea.. and then in many cases they have the actual item there.

I love how you are given a card with the name of a passenger when you enter.. and it tells you of who that person was.. why they were on the ship...and where they were going to...were they traveling alone or with family? It states their status on the ship. {first class, 2nd..ect.}
When you get to see the state rooms.. the furnishings.. differences in sizes...it's so interesting.

And the end of it... well it really brings it home...
:goodvibes ...
i guess i'm a nerdgirl in disguise.

I should go start making the ice cream.. i'm going to do a double batch so i have some to send home with my parents. Everyone have a happy day.:grouphug:

[Stacerita]

Hello ladies. Have a great day!

[jordansmomma]

It was a good movie.
I really liked it. Kaeleb liked it but fell alseep just before it ended.

Have fun making your ice cream.

Thanks, I hope he his feeling better today.

I hope everyone is having a great morning.

[jordansmomma]

I forgot to say that Torrid is having a really great sale this weekend. Its until Monday. Clearance items are 50% off and other things are on sale.

When you get to see the state rooms.. the furnishings.. differences in sizes...it's so interesting.

And the end of it... well it really brings it home...
:goodvibes ...
i guess i'm a nerdgirl in disguise.

That is really neat. I'll have to check it out one of these days. Maybe over the summer if they run some specials. I hope your ice cream turned out yummylicious!



I forgot to say that Torrid is having a really great sale this weekend. Its until Monday. Clearance items are 50% off and other things are on sale.Oooooo, I bet we could find something sexy to wear to Chippendales from there. Thanks!












Hello Vegas ladies!!! I was down on the Strip today and I was thinking how soon we'll all be hanging out down there together! :dance3:

Stacie, I forgot to tell you , I was in Avenue yesterday and bought a pair of those Lite Denim jeans you were talking about. I love them! They are so comfy.

I think they run really big though. I bought them in a size 16 and I am so not a size 16!! LOL Most of my jeans are 20 or 22. :rotfl2:
That's why I never really pay attention to sizes. Everything is cut so differently. You can wear a 14 or 16 in one shop and be a 20 someplace else! :eek: Doesn't really mean anything.

But I like them, so thanks for turning me on to those. :thumbsup2

Glad you got a pair. They are my fave jeans ever. I wear one pair so much that I had to patch it. But I just find them so comfy and they are cut nicely to suit me. I'm short, so they have P sizes which I like.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Hi Marcie~ Kaeleb is feeling much better.
I am sneezie, sneezie....

We have not done a darn thing today. I watched Jon & Kate and tried to read Frankenstein. Kaeleb went swimming with friends & Jordan took a nap.
Now I just mowed the lawn....I now know why people have husbands or gardners. ;)
Now we are getting ready to go get Mexican for dinner.
I want fajitas & a margarita. Then they boys will finish their homework and I will try to read some more.

Then watch the new season of Jon & Kate...

Why did 5 days off go so fast???

[jordansmomma]

I can't wait to see Phantom!!
I sent letters to Beth & Stacie last week. You should be getting them anytime.

Don't you know it!

Hi my Vegas Divas. I went on a date last night. It was fun. A first date and I'm interested in a 2nd.

What's Torrid?

Torrid is a clothing store for "healthy" size women. Clothes are actually really cute and are cute for larger sizes, not just bigger versions of smaller sizes.

Need the date details!



Hello my Vegas Divas!!!!! Less than a month to go. Can't wait! And I will be coming up on Sunday after all!!!

[mommaU4]

Theresa ~ I took that exotic dancer name quiz again today.......four times!
I got:
Red
Silk
Velvet
Lacey

I think it's trying to tell me I'm an article of clothing. :confused3 But I decided to go with Silk.
Yvonne was just too much like a real name, not a stripper name. :confused3 So Silk it is. ;)


Debra ~ I'll keep an eye out for your letter. :thumbsup2


Stacie ~ YAY!!! I'm glad you'll be there on Sunday. Do you know what time?


Marcie ~ Sounds like the date went well. ;)


Cheryl ~ Tell Unique no worries. Send it whenever you can. :)

Oh yeah, that's me! But why am I smokin?? Or is that a dum-dum?

Unique needs to get a check in the mail to you ASAP!!!!!

Oh shoot, so do I!! Tomorrow, I promise!!

Hello my Vegas Divas!!!!! Less than a month to go. Can't wait! And I will be coming up on Sunday after all!!!

Yay! The check-in time for the timeshare is 4pm, but since we are supposedly getting the handicapped units, I'm hoping they will be ready when we get there.

I cannot believe it's less than 4 weeks!! Where did the time go???? :confused3

Just poppin' in to say I love Silk! Good name for you!

The boas are awesome ladies. So much nicer than what I've seen in shops here. How many clamshells were they, Theresa?

Deb - Frankenstein is not an easy read. It's quite slow. Why are you reading it, for a class?

It was a lot of fun. He was in San Antonio for the weekend so we were going to do lunch on Monday but he decided to come back sooner and take me out Sunday night. We went to the sports bar and got a booth, we sat in that booth until they kicked us out at 2 just talking and getting to know each other. It was nice. Well we did leave for an hour or so to ride out to the other bars I go to, but they were dead so we went back. He's from Michigan, moved here for work. I love his accent. 37, very cute. :thumbsup2 I want another date.

Deb ~ Frankenstein sounds slow :confused3

Silk ~ love your new name :thumbsup2

[fairykin]

Wow is it just me or is Disboards painfully slow lately? I log on then just give up after awhile.

SiLkY is a good name.

Debra...rent the movie ..there was a very good adaption of it several years ago.. then after watching the movie..the reading will be more organic as you have the character references and can visualize everything better.

Well..... this was not a good weekend for our family. My younger sister in law had a very bad stroke. They do not know if she is going to make it, and they have 3 children. We found out yesterday that she has Cadisil Disease..it's rare and seems to hit when the person is in their 30s. Evidently a mutated chromosone lays dormant in the body until they are in their 30s then it awakes with a series of strokes that leave the person devestated.

Here's a link to it.
