DBF read recently that in the US, Coke is going to quit distributing Diet Vanilla Coke and Diet Coke with Lemon. We love Diet Vanilla Coke; it tastes like candy, and when we are low carbing, it is a treat! DBF is :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

Jennifer

I love Diet Vanilla Coke too! :( But, I also like the Splenda Diet Coke, so I'm not as sad as I could be. ;)

Duh .. .and I saw that one! Somehow ... my mind said "fantasmic" when I saw Mickey elevated. But you're right - definitely Spectro!

Just adding to my stress in making a decision?????? LOL

[MinnieMouseMom]

Good news!!!

Nick is feeling much better - only two rounds of suppositories and then he decided he would rather chew his medicine!!!

His fever is pretty low today and he is actually playing a little bit - he slept well through the night - although I did turn Toy Story2 on for him at one point!

Denise - I hope all is well!!!!! :wizard:

:cheer2: :cheer2: Great news!! :cheer2: :cheer2:

Hope things are going well, Denise!! :wizard: princess: :wizard:

The plan is to put them on a black shirt. I think the first design will be easier to cut out. On the 2nd, the frame is sort of jagged. I will never be able to cut it out right ... and I think it will look sort of odd if I just cut it straight ... KWIM?


What I did to get around one with that kinda frame, on a black shirt, is added a small black edge to the frame and then I cut around that. :) worked great!If you want me to add it to yurs, let me know! I haven't took pics of my shirts yet, not all done, but that one is done and came out great!

Yup! that definitely works! Do you happen to know how the words were added? It looks like some special coloring -- maybe it's just me???? I was thinking about personalizing it on the blank space on the bottom. (You can see I have been leaning toward this design all along!)

If it's nothing "special" I can probably add it.

I was thinking "A December To Remember" with 2005 (mouse ears) below it.


I am WORKING UP to adding text. LOL

I do not know what prgram they used for that test. See who's it is and ask. I use photoshop, most done. Text works differently in both. To add the black frame, just paint it where the white frame is now.

Or "Family is the heart of your story" Too long? I'm trying to think of something that keeps "story" as part of it. It would be better with the "is what" or "is who" though. Let me think some more...

Beth
Ooh, I like that one!

[MazdaUK]

Not sure her DH would wear one

Depending on how good a sport he is, you could do Grumpy with "here under protest" under it, or else maybe his favourite character with "Here because I love my family" on it. Or has Lady Lucca got a 7 dwarfs design that matches his job?

Love the Spectro design!!!

julia&nicksmom - glad Nick is a bit better. Christian has just dozed on and off for 2 hours, and is asking for his bath and bed. I'm trying to get him to eat a little and have a drink (containing medinol), then he can have his yukky antibiotics before bed. (Luckily they are 12-hourly, so only battling twice a day!) we use a plastic syringe to sort of squirt it in - along the side of the mouth so you don't choke the little dears! - so you don't have that juggling and spilling with the spoon bit. My mum says she wishes they'd had that when I was a kid then her carpet would have been a different colour :blush:

Beth

How about "Family is what keeps your heart full"???

The only thing I can think of is "Family - the most important people in the world" but I'm afraid that is going to be too long.

Thanks so much guys!!! :goodvibes I love them all! I'm go to try and make one tonight! If it turns out okay I will post a pic. :goodvibes Thanks again. :flower:

[lmartin2711]

[QUOTE=MazdaUK]Christian has just dozed on and off for 2 hours, and is asking for his bath and bed.

I was wandering why a little boy would ask for bath and bed in the middle of the afternoon. I forgot about the time difference.

[KMH1]

Have you ever been on Busch Gardens safari ride?

We didn't get there. DS vetoed it for whatever reason. But we had NO problems with meeting characters. :) In fact leaving AK, it started to rain ... but Minnie. Mickey, and Donald were all signing autographs at the ticket booths! They were great!!!

Care to divulge your favorite spot? I think we were right at the beginning. We were right in front of a fruit cart.


I haven't been to Busch Gardens since the 80's, so I'm sure it's a little different now. ;)

Definitely go to Camp Minnie Mickey this time to see FOLK! It's by far one of our favorite shows at WDW. And like I said before, when there's a show in progress, that's the best time to see even more characters...Kenai and Koda are a hoot and Goofy and Pluto are usually there too (in addition to Mickey, Minnie, and Donald).

We watch the parade right outside of Africa near the Baby Care Center. You will see the CMs putting the tape down, and if there's no tape across the way, that means no one can sit on that side. We stake out our spots at about an hour before and take turns entertaining Alyssa. We have the soundtrack for this parade, so we know all the words, and we stand up and dance and have so much fun!!!

Amy :)

[itslisa]

I haven't been to Busch Gardens since the 80's, so I'm sure it's a little different now. ;)

Possibly ;) We weren't supposed to go on our last trip either. We had one extra day before out flight (we flew in and out of Tampa because I wanted to go to a parade down there). Anyway, just after we arrived, Busch announce they would be giving park tickets to military and their families! We were planning to check out the Tampa Seaquarium ... but decided free tickets to Busch would be better!

I will wrangle his little arm! LOL Actually if I mention Kenai and Koda that may do it by itself!

Writing that one down!

[julia & nicks mom]

I am happy that I think this time my doctor was wrong!!! :Pinkbounc

Nick seems to be his old self with no fever -I guess I will see what the rest of the day brings but maybe he doesn't have that virus after all!!! :Pinkbounc

[legalslave]

Decisions .. decisions ....

OK ... DH and I can't choose!!!

I am making a shirt for our AK hop to MK day. We are stuck on the MK design. Since we are there for Spectro and Wishes -- I thought about a design for one or the other. I don't recall seeing a Spectro design ... so we're flipping between these two.

Oh .. .and since this design is going on the front of the shirt .... I have my concerns that thos Mickey ears are going to land ... well .. you know where! I am amply endowed without accentuating the positve!

Oh .. .this is the design for the back:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/pxydust/tlbsafari0tm.jpg



Maybe I should flip them on put AK on the front and Wishes on the back?????? I'd probably get better character interaction with the AK design in the front, huh? Since we'll be at MK at night ...

Cut out the jagged edges with pinking shears.

[gigi1313]

happy to hear your little one is on the mend... mine are too, thankfully (we had some bad coughs, sore throats, etc here too)

hoping/praying that denise's troop does/did okay with their surgeries today... i can commisserate 'cause i had both of my kids tonsilectomies/adenoidectomies done on the same day about 4 years ago and it was a rough few days... but the end result was wonderful (their current sickness is the FIRST since they had it done!)

loving everyone's designs... really getting the itch/bug/fever for shirt making... i could never design but i am hoping i can print and iron! LOL! very excited to stumble upon $2.49 jerzees tees at michaels in a variety of colors... i only bought a dozen ;)

I am happy that I think this time my doctor was wrong!!! :Pinkbounc

Nick seems to be his old self with no fever -I guess I will see what the rest of the day brings but maybe he doesn't have that virus after all!!! :Pinkbounc

Maybe he's just cutting a tooth. Both of my kids got high fevers and the doctor said they were getting Roseola. Never got a rash - just a new tooth!! Of course, he said that was just a coincidence - but every time?

HOORAY! Maybe it was just one of those freak things where little ones spike a fever for no apparent reason and then it goes away just as quickly! Let's hope he stays WELL!

[julia & nicks mom]

So glad to hear he's feeling better! Keep us posted...maybe game night won't be postponed after all! :cool1:


I was thinking that but wasn't sure if you all would want to take the chance - if he stays on his current course - I see no reason for us not to have it!!! :goodvibes

[Steamboat Marti]

How about "Family is what keeps your heart full"???

I hope I'm not too late to give my two cents, but how about:

Family is where your story begins..... or better yet, for that Disney touch,
Ohana is where your story begins.

Hi all!
Glad Nick is feeling better. Feel better soon Christian! Has anyone heard yet from Denise about the triplets?
Don't have much time today- just checking in on everyone's kids
Thanks Kate for the new DDA logo- will upload it later before I get the nasty email!

We have some this at home already for Kyle and I have it on good authority that Santa will be bringing more of it. He just loves this set!

[triplefigs]

Hi, all! We got home about an hour ago. The kids did AWESOME!!!!! They were all so good, very brave, and very sweet. In fact, BK kept insisting the doctor forgot to fix her ears. They are watching videos and just ate McD's and Chick-fil-A.

They told everyone at the surgery center that we were going to Disney for the first time and flying. They are too excited. Oh, and the Anesthesiologist just got back from MNSSHP. He's a huge Disney fan too. He made me even more excited by telling me all about his trip.

Thanks for all the prayers, well wishes, and Pixie Dust. Now I can really focus on Thanksgiving and our trip. BTW, we will try to decorate the tree today.

[triplefigs]

the dda logo file is now small enough that you can have it in and it only takes about 1/2 of the signature allotted file space - you can feel free to put it back - I fixed it in my photobucket - so anyone linked to there is fixed now too

Thanks, Kate!

[tink2020]

can everyone else see the photobucket pictures?

I can see them just fine but I can't find a Spectro one.

Never mind. I was looking for a larger design, but I see it in Mickey's ears :) Great design!

[triplefigs]

i *love* :love: this shirt... we are giving the kids the trip as part of their Christmas present but not telling them exactly when we are going (we're going MLK weekend, telling the kids "end of january" so that they can concentrate in school... they have state tests in the morning and we are leaving in the afternoon) so these shirts would be GREAT to hand them when we show up at school to get them... maybe i will make them on sweatshirts since we're leaving from NY in january...

can you or the designer share this one, please and thank you! :wizard:

That's my design. Kate makes the cars. Kate have we already done a NY car?

[triplefigs]

PD :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: and hugs :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

to all the sick DDAs and their kidlets. I have laryngitis (not good for a singer) so I need some from you all too!

Feel better soon!

[KMH1]

I was thinking that but wasn't sure if you all would want to take the chance - if he stays on his current course - I see no reason for us not to have it!!! :goodvibes

Well, we're not rushing off to make other plans. :teeth: If everyone's healthy, let's do it. If unfortunately someone is under the weather, we'll reschedule. We can take this day by day...

Denise, glad to hear all is good. I think we're having Chick-fil-a for dinner, since we're getting Alyssa's Christmas pictures taken at the mall tonight. Yum!

Happy Birthday Colby! :wizard:

YEAH! I'm so glad to hear they're doing well!

[triplefigs]

That is not to say that DCL has gone by the wayside. Instead, we are looking at the 4-night cruise that leaves on Dec 4.


You can wear all those Christmas DCL shirts you helped me design!


This means we'll be at WDW on Sat, Dec 3 so we could actually meet the triplets (and their parents of course). We'll be the crazy people running around MGM looking for Triplefigs. Note to self... go back through this thread to see which shirts R, D and BK are wearing that day so we can spot the from afar.

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to meet you in person. They are wearing these shirts. We are just doing MGM that day. Will get there around 10am. Lunch at Pizza Planet, ADR at PrimeTime at 5pm, then Fantasmic.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b175/DenisePersonal/DCP_2836.jpg

Hope we get to meet you. I can PM you my cell phone number which we'll have with us.

[triplefigs]

:wave:
I need two t-shirts with the Wiggles characters. One with JAKE and the other HALEY. Kate has done them in the past but she is taking a break. Is anyone interested in attempting. I am taking my two grandkids to the Wiggles this weekend and would love to make them a shirt. I know it is only a couple of days away so if nobody gets to I am just going to use the Disney Playhouse design that is on Kate's design thread. Just thought I would check.

Thanks.....Lynn

Lynn, are you going Saturday at Gwinnett Civic Center? I'm taking the kids on Sat to the 1:15pm show. Maybe we could meet up?

[triplefigs]

You guys got itchy fingers or something? 18 pages in 18 hours!!!!

I gave up catching up after 804 :guilty: because Nick has somehow managed to give Christian the ear infection - perhaps its a computer virus :rotfl2: . The Doctor gave him some antibiotics: apparently the current "advice" is give Calpol and/or Neurofen for 3 days then give antibiotics if still bad. Luckily we have brilliant doctors who know what life is, so he followed it up with "if it gets worse start it sooner, if it was one of my kids I'd start it straight away" ;)

Hope Nick is feling better - Christian is lying on the sofa shivering under a blanket (this morning he said he wanted to wear shorts because he was too hot - he had a fever). He's very quiet -I bet if I pop in he'll be asleep! :)

Get well soon, Christian!

[lmartin2711]

I think we're having Chick-fil-a for dinner, since we're getting Alyssa's Christmas pictures taken at the mall tonight. Amy :)

We are also going to the mall tonight. We are going to Picture People at Gwinnett Place Mall to get the boys pictures made. If my 11yr DS knew that I was calling him a "boy" he would have a fit. He calls himself a "preteen". I think he is going to take me on a testosterone roller coaster ride when his time comes.

Lynn

[triplefigs]

I'm sorry the safari was unsatisfying...did you ride it first thing in the morning? The animals are much more active when it's cooler.

One of our favorite things to do is to visit all the characters in Camp Minnie Mickey while a FOLK show is going on...no lines and lots of character interaction!

Jammin Jungle Parade is also my favorite parade...we always sit where nobody is sitting across from us, and we get so much interaction.

Hopefully your next visit will be more desirable! :flower:

Good tips. And, give me specifics on where to sit! This will be our first time to AK.

[Cinderumbrella]

Denise, glad the kiddos are doing well!

Being a "northerner" what is chick filet?

[triplefigs]

You guys have been busy again. I hope that the triplets do well with their surgeries today. I keep thinking of the poor little ones having to go through that. Well, my baby is now offically 3. :faint: We let him open his presents this morning as we had 20 minutes where all 5 of us would be together today. I have to work tonight and tomorrow night. Tomorrow is DHs birthday. We gave Colby a couple of sets of GeoTrax so I spent 2 1/2 hours this morning engineering the tracks. He and nephew have been playing (well actually fighting, but what's new) with the trains. I can't believe how much they enjoy them. His room will have no floor space left between the sets he got or is getting for his birthday and the ones for Christmas. Good thing they make the elevation sets now, we can go up instead of out.

Deb

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

[triplefigs]

I was thinking "A December To Remember" with 2005 (mouse ears) below it.

That's a great saying. Hmm, new shirt ideas floating through my little head... bad, bad, bad... already have 30 shirts... don't need anymore... oh, wait, don't have one for the flight down... hmmm...

[lmartin2711]

Lynn, are you going Saturday at Gwinnett Civic Center? I'm taking the kids on Sat to the 1:15pm show. Maybe we could meet up?

We are going to the Saturday show at 5pm....we probably won't be there until around 4pm. I will email you my cell # and if you think ya'll are still going to be around you can call me so we can meet.

Lynn

[lmartin2711]

Being a "northerner" what is chick filet?

It is a fast food restaurant that serves the best chicken sandwiches and nuggets you could ever want. They say the chicken is broasted and not fried. We love it too!!!

I know we won't. Bama and Auburn kick off at 3:30pm! Gotta get home and root for the Tide. Now you and Bengalbelle should both be yelling Roll Tide this week!

[my3princes]

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Glad the kids came through ok. I should have already left for work, but I just had to get the update.

Deb

[lmartin2711]

I know we won't. Bama and Auburn kick off at 3:30pm! Gotta get home and root for the Tide. Now you and Bengalbelle should both be yelling Roll Tide this week!

I will defenitely be yelling ROLL TIDE!!!!! Anything to keep Auburn away from the SEC!! GA doesn't play KY until 12:30 so that is why we probably won't get there until around 4pm. It is funny how we work our lives around kids and football.

[mommykds]

Denise,

So glad to hear all went well with your kids today! Great news!

Beth

[lmartin2711]

Beth.....I am glad you are back on. I have been watching the post and you only have 45 to go. You know that could happen within the next hour. You are on your own though 'cause I am fixin' to leave work and won't be back on until around 9pm. Good Luck and claim your 12345 milestone!!!

[triplefigs]

It's kind of silly, I know, but I'm really looking forward to it. I guess I should think of something to write when we get there!

Midnite--Want to be quoted??? :goodvibes

Beth

[Steamboat Marti]

Denise - just noticed that you're eating at 50s Prime Time - my absolute favorite Disney place to eat!! When you get there, ask for Anas Loukili. Tell him its your first time eating there with the kids and you were told by the Linetzky's in New York that he's the man. He'd remember us if you took a picture with you! But he's the best and will make your meal there quite memorable. When I can, I'll post a picture of Matt with Anas on Paul's birthday.

[Tammi67]

Kate and Denise - I am so glad that all the little ones are feeling much better. Life is definitely looking up.

I hope Christian and Elin are on the mend too.

Deb - I'm glad that I could brighten Colby's special day.

[Tammi67]

I have a dilemna that I hope you all will help me with. I received a birth announcement from a cousin that I have not spoken with in 3 years. She got mad about something I said or did, don't really know what, and held a grudge. The only contact I have with her is sending Christmas cards. We also send birthday gifts to each others sons, as she is Nicholas' Godmother, as I am her DS's. Truthfully, I don't know why we continue to do that. Our kids have no idea who we are, we never see them (live on opposite sides of the country). Anyway, would you send a gift for the birth, or simply a card? Half of me says send the gift just to prevent further rifting, but the other half says "why?" I could use some advice.

[miss missy]

YAY NICK!!! feeling better!! :cool1:

And YAY Triple-3's!! for a great surgery! :cool1:

I am so happy they are well!

I lost count on who is sick here now, so if your sick... hope your better soon!! DD is sick now, I think she caught it from all of you lol!

Our kids have no idea who we are, we never see them (live on opposite sides of the country). Anyway, would you send a gift for the birth, or simply a card? Half of me says send the gift just to prevent further rifting, but the other half says "why?" I could use some advice.


I vote for sending a gift just to take the high road. If she were just a friend i would say not but a cousin is family.

I would send a gift. I would forgive. It is the best thing to do. I would treat it as I would anyone else, forgetting the rift. Life is to short. Just do what you can on your end to be kind. Its for the baby and is not the baby's fault her Mom acted that way. Just My HO.

I would send something, but wouldn't go all out. I normally assume that when I get an announcement like that, I should send a little something.

[triplefigs]

Denise - just noticed that you're eating at 50s Prime Time - my absolute favorite Disney place to eat!! When you get there, ask for Anas Loukili. Tell him its your first time eating there with the kids and you were told by the Linetzky's in New York that he's the man. He'd remember us if you took a picture with you! But he's the best and will make your meal there quite memorable. When I can, I'll post a picture of Matt with Anas on Paul's birthday.

Thanks, Marti!

I would send something small, but nice. I have a cousin that I have almost the exact same relationship (except the Godparent part) with at the moment. I just found out that she is expecting in July.

[MinnieMouseMom]

Glad the triplets are doing well!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

Glad Nick's feeling better!! pirate:

I suppose I would send a present too. I'm kind of in that same situation but with my sister. I send the kids birthday & Christmas presents. It isn't the kids' fault their parents are morons. ;)

[Tammi67]

Thanks for all the responses. I will take your advice and send a gift. I feel good about it.

[tink2020]

Amy - sending you a long overdue PM ;)

[disney newbie]

Just want to help us get to 12345 while Beth is still on board. Glad the triplets had such a great experience with their surgery and are doing fine.

[mommykds]

thanks. How are you feeling today?

Good, thanks for asking...hard to talk & alittle hard to catch a breath but on the mend.
But as you know "Mommy" can't be sick..too much to do! I had to take the 3 kids to school this am (DH had to go in to work early) & while I had 2 hours to myself (little one is still only in nursery school) I went to (bed? no!) AC Moore..they had a good sale on transfer paper & some other items I needed. I am making shirts & pillowcases for all my neices & nephews for Christmas.

Hopefully I can get the kids to bed before 7pm & then I can lie down.

Kate was kind enough to make me a design for my nieces months ago. I can't wait to give them the pillows for Christmas! It was a princess design with their names, and I got all the princesses (except Ariel - she's on my itinerary in a couple of weeks) to sign them. They are going to die.

How is everyone?

[julia & nicks mom]

Hi, all! We got home about an hour ago. The kids did AWESOME!!!!! They were all so good, very brave, and very sweet. In fact, BK kept insisting the doctor forgot to fix her ears. They are watching videos and just ate McD's and Chick-fil-A.

They told everyone at the surgery center that we were going to Disney for the first time and flying. They are too excited. Oh, and the Anesthesiologist just got back from MNSSHP. He's a huge Disney fan too. He made me even more excited by telling me all about his trip.

Thanks for all the prayers, well wishes, and Pixie Dust. Now I can really focus on Thanksgiving and our trip. BTW, we will try to decorate the tree today.


That is great news!!

[julia & nicks mom]

Denise - your house looks great! Now I am starting to feel pressured to get my decorations up before we leave for Chicago for Thanksgiving. We are typically at home and I do it over the weekend after the Black Friday madness.

Brendita - such a CUUUUTE new kitty! I bet your DS loves his surprise.

Marti & Hunka - congrats on your return trip to WDW! I am GREEN with envy!

Denise (again ;) ) - your shirts look GREAT!!!

Jennifer (moonbeams) - Love all of the shirts you have posted, especially those with the little extra design on the back of the neck. CUTE!

FIRST CASE OF BIRD FLU REPORTED AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!

OK I know I know! Donald is our favorite here, but this was too funny! Someone sent it to me in an email, but the castle was old and I just had to make one with castle today! :rotfl: I hope everyone laughs cuz we need it today!
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c98/MissMissy-555/General/donald-bird-flu.jpg

I got this same email from my cousin - but it was with DLP's castle! I told her we didn't have to worry because that wasn't Florida's castle! She called me a Disney Freak! Hahahahahhaha And said I knew too much about Disney. Is that even possible?? hahahhahahaa

[geetey]

OMG :earseek: Steffy and I work together and usually go out to lunch. Today she went a little crazy. As we were leaving the restaurant, she sees a car just like hers, same color, same year, everything. The antenna topper is a Mickey head with a Santa Hat. She proceeds to follow the car even going through TWO stop signs. :eek: When the car proceeded to sneak thru the one way to go to a fast food place, she thought she should not keep following. "What if she thinks I am stalking her?", she says. Ya think?? :confused: Of course how could the girl know that the car following her with a Disney license plate, gold ear antenna topper on the dash and two Mickeys hanging from the rear view mirror, AND the crazy driver waving her was not a stalker????

THIS is too funny!

Last post for now - I still have 25 pages to read.

Jennifer (tink2020) - I don't like this cold weather so I will be happy to blame you. Could you please request some warmer temps? Especially for Thanksgiving week? My thin TN blood doesn't like that Chicago cold. I do love this design though!

Whew, what a night!

First, Alyssa got car sick on the way to the mall. Luckily I did not have her in her photo outfit, but the poor thing gets so upset when she throws up. :sad1:

Then, we get to the mall and there is no Chick-fil-a!!! Unbelieveable...I've been craving this all day. So, I ended up splitting a kids meal with Alyssa from some generic place called Chick-n-Burger. Totally unsatisfying. :crazy2:

When we get to JCPenney, they are running very behind. A big family in front of us...lots of kids...lots of poses. After running a half hour late, they don't even buy any pictures! Claimed $3.99 a sheet was too expensive. Ridiculous. :sad2:

Anyway, by this point, my nephew (he's 2) has run out of good mood. My SIL and I got the kids' pictures taken together last year, and we thought it would be a neat tradition. He wasn't having it at all. Alyssa did cooperate for a couple poses, but then we had the nerve to change her outfit and that shot her mood too. Oh well, at least we didn't have a ton of poses to choose from, thus spending $$$$$$$$$$.

Kevin's sitting back watching the OC, and I'm off to find something more satisfying to eat. Congrats on post 12345!!!

Amy :)

[KMH1]

Oh Jennifer,

Your PM box is full. You're so popular!

How is everyone?

Better question...

How are you?!?! We have missed you, Paul :love:

Still don't have my voice back 100%... hard to recuperate when you have to sing and talk 6+ hours a day :rotfl:

[PNO4TE]

Kate -- Glad Nick is feeling better. Hope you all can still have Game Night with Kevin and Amy And Alyssa.

Denise -- Delighted to hear that the kidlets did well today. Now... on to that tree!

I have decided that the weather is to blame for all of us being sick. It was 75 here last night and now it is 35 just 24 hours later. No wonder we are all feeling "puny." :faint:

[tink2020]

Oh Jennifer,

Goodness -- what a night indeed! thank heavens you hadn't dressed her already!

Don't people go into those places KNOWING the prices ahead of time! Jeez!

[itslisa]

Guess you can say ... I'm back! LOL Went out to a meeting tonight. It was just CRAZY. My fault ... somehow I got myself roped into making IDs! LOL

Now ... before you start thinking ill of me ...... they're for KIDS!

Ever seen those plastic ID cards they make for kids? A company came to my son's day care (a few years back) and we had a chance to buy them. The cost was like $10 for on and $9 for each additional! that was NUTS. The big deal was that it was hard plastic -- WHOOPIE! <insert sarcasm>

Anyway .. I created a file in Word to make them myself! Now, I can just update it whenever I want .. .and I can print out a copy for DH and each of our Mom's. Ben even carries one in his backpack -- just in case!

So ... the short of it is ... someone saw it in my wallet a few week's ago .. it was admired .... and well ... it lead to tonight and me bringing a camera .. a printer and an ink pad! LOL

We had SO many people show up!!!! We never have this many!!! The center is paying for the supplies - but I was not able to get it all done ... so I am going to have to work on them ... But ... I know how happy these Moms are going to be. They're all single Moms -- so money is aways tight.

I am also back from my mall experience. Our pictures did NOT turn out. It wasn't crowded....we were the only ones there.....no pressure......We get a beginner picture taker. We went to Picture People since I have heard some really good things about it. When the manager walked up to our sales/picture lady and asked...."have you been thru the picture taking training".....I should have know that was my clue to RUN!!! She was very nice but working with an 8yr old boy and an 11yr old boy you have to have some experience. We ended eating supper after the pictures in the food court to waste an hour just to go back and not purchase any pictures. They were really bad.....no sitting fee so I wasn't out any money. The sales lady felt really bad and offered to reschedule and have their picture taken by someone else. I told her it wasn't her fault not to worry about it. I did get a couple of Christmas presents bought so it wasn't all wasteful.

Am I the only person here that drinks Coke Zero?

Is that the Coke with splenda? If so, I haven't tried it. Since it like Dt Coke just fine, I figure why pay more $$ for less http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/mgsoda.gif. :teeth:

I got to work tonight. yeah! It was very very slow at the Restaurant to time really dragged. Found myself wondering what was happening here, but no computer to check in on. I will have to show Colby all the new birthday wishes when he get up in the morning. He sat on my lap clapping this afternoon when he saw them. It was very cute. I can already tell that he belongs to the DDA. :Pinkbounc

You're right it is beautiful. I can't believe that the kids were feeling up to decorating after their surgeries. They are tough little cookies.

Yes, this afternoon! Told ya they did great! What can I say, they are Christmas fanatics like their mommy!

Tomorrow is their Thanksgiving feast at school. I have a feeling they will be seriously crashing and taking a long nap after school.

Guess you can say ... I'm back! LOL Went out to a meeting tonight. It was just CRAZY. My fault ... somehow I got myself roped into making IDs! LOL

Now ... before you start thinking ill of me ...... they're for KIDS!

Aww shucks! thanks. Luckily the center is paying for my supplies. And we don't meet next week .. so I have 2 weeks to get all the kids typed into the program.

If anyone wants it -- it's just a Word doc. It's 2 pages. I print side 1 and then flip the paper over to print side 2. All you really have to do is fill in the blanks.

I used cold laminate (Wal-Mart_ for mine last tme -- but they fall apart when wet. I'm going to use the hot laminate this time. (Staples - $1 per page)

No, it's another version of "diet" coke. It tastes more like real Coke, though. I was seriously addicted to Coke (a cola ;) ) but now I can have the taste without the calories!

[bengalbelle]

Whew, what a night!

First, Alyssa got car sick on the way to the mall. Luckily I did not have her in her photo outfit, but the poor thing gets so upset when she throws up. :sad1:

Then, we get to the mall and there is no Chick-fil-a!!! Unbelieveable...I've been craving this all day. So, I ended up splitting a kids meal with Alyssa from some generic place called Chick-n-Burger. Totally unsatisfying. :crazy2:

When we get to JCPenney, they are running very behind. A big family in front of us...lots of kids...lots of poses. After running a half hour late, they don't even buy any pictures! Claimed $3.99 a sheet was too expensive. Ridiculous. :sad2:

Anyway, by this point, my nephew (he's 2) has run out of good mood. My SIL and I got the kids' pictures taken together last year, and we thought it would be a neat tradition. He wasn't having it at all. Alyssa did cooperate for a couple poses, but then we had the nerve to change her outfit and that shot her mood too. Oh well, at least we didn't have a ton of poses to choose from, thus spending $$$$$$$$$$.

Kevin's sitting back watching the OC, and I'm off to find something more satisfying to eat. Congrats on post 12345!!!

Amy :)
Poor Alyssa :grouphug:

I know what you mean about Chick Fil A. DS has OT every Thursday and we always go eat there before his appointment. Today he says he doesn't want to eat there anymore :(. Instead he ate broccoli, fruit, rotisserie chicken and garlic mashed potatoes. I know it's much better for him, but I LOVE Chick Fil A.

[tink2020]

I LOVE Chick Fil A.

Not to make you and Amy jealous, but DH and I just finished up a year of free combo meals from there. :rolleyes1

ETA: if I'd have known you I'd probably have bought some meals for you... we had plenty to get rid of!

I ended up toasting two eggos for dinner, and I'm still yearning Chick-Fil-a! And no five-year-old should want to eat so healthy! :teeth:

I am also back from my mall experience. Our pictures did NOT turn out. It wasn't crowded....we were the only ones there.....no pressure......We get a beginner picture taker. We went to Picture People since I have heard some really good things about it. When the manager walked up to our sales/picture lady and asked...."have you been thru the picture taking training".....I should have know that was my clue to RUN!!! She was very nice but working with an 8yr old boy and an 11yr old boy you have to have some experience. We ended eating supper after the pictures in the food court to waste an hour just to go back and not purchase any pictures. They were really bad.....no sitting fee so I wasn't out any money. The sales lady felt really bad and offered to reschedule and have their picture taken by someone else. I told her it wasn't her fault not to worry about it. I did get a couple of Christmas presents bought so it wasn't all wasteful.

Wow, that stinks. We've gone to Picture People twice...good experiences both times. I usually spend a small fortune there, which is why we were at JCPenney tonight, with our $3.99/sheet coupon. Trying to be a little frugal. :teeth:

[bengalbelle]

ETA: if I'd have known you I'd probably have bought some meals for you... we had plenty to get rid of!
If I didn't like you so much I'd call you an ugly name :teeth:

The closest Chick Fil A to me is about 25 miles away and on a very busy street with lots of construction going on. I REALLY have to go out of my way to eat there and we average probably twice a week :blush:

They're building one closer to me (I'll drive past it every day) so I'll be able to pop in for breakfast every once in a while. I love their chicken biscuits.

Their lemonade is to die for!!! And their brownies! Yeah, we were one of the "First 100". I think it's a national thing. Whenever a new free-standing Chik-Fil-A opens, they give away a years worth of combos (52 coupons per person, used however and whenever you want within the year) to the first 100 people. My mom, Kyle and I did it... we had a blast! We were there overnight, which is TOTALLY lame. But they had a concert, free massages (from those 10 mintue chair people at the mall), giveaways, free food throughout the night....

It wasn't nearly as dorky as it sounds. And for broke college kids (and the GREATEST chicken sandwich around), it was well worth it! :rotfl:

Was this the one by the Voice of America plaza...that's the only free-standing restaurant I know of around here. Just so you know, Northgate Mall no longer has one...losers!!!!

I remember the advertising for that last year, but with Alyssa, you know, I had to be a responsible parent. :rotfl:

It is a fast food restaurant that serves the best chicken sandwiches and nuggets you could ever want. They say the chicken is broasted and not fried. We love it too!!!

Chik-fil-A also has terrific lemonade.

Amy - I know what you mean - not about Chik Fil-A (we don't have them here) but feeling miserable. There is one television show I like to watch each week - Survivor. Don't ya know the phone rings at 7:59... its my dad. DHunka Hunka asks if I want him to Tivo it. Stupidly I say no - don't worry I'll be off the phone soon. No Tivo. Friend calls with a real problem and I can't rush her off the phone (I did the right thing and actually listened!!) and say to myself, don't worry, DH is Tivoing it. Get off the phone at 9:03 and find out it wasn't Tivo'd. Not DH's fault, I did tell him nevermind. But did I think I was going to be on the phone FOR AN HOUR????? NOOOOOOO. DH tells me who gets voted off, but I told him it didn't really matter without knowing all the dirt. So now, I, an adult, am stinking miserable OVER A DUMB TV SHOW! And to top it off, I think I'm more mad at myself for being mad because ITS A DUMB TV SHOW!. Please help this :guilty: turn into :teeth:

We had our DVR recording about 20 shows when we went to WDW in October. I was greedy, and I was also trying to tape the Ellen show each day and there simply wasn't enough space. Thus, it erased some of the shows from earlier in the week, and I was :mad: :mad: I know it's only TV, but I needed something to help me cope with WDW withdrawal.

I can definitely empathize Marti!!!

I am so close to going and already worried about when I get home LOL. I am thinking when i get back, I will have to deal with x-mas decor and shopping and after that, come Jan 1st.. then what ???? I hope I do not crash too hard, its gonna be cold and nasty and no WDW and no xmas! Not good! Poor DH may have a handful to deal with then. Lets pray I dont crash!!! :rolleyes1

[my3princes]

Ok people, I really have to get to bed. I keep thinking that I'll log off, then I see a new response and just have to look. Dh's birthday is tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be up bright and early. I swear he thinks that his birthday should be a national holiday. He was even going to take that day off until I reminded him that he had to take "Black Friday" off. There is no way that I'm taking 3 kids shopping at 5 am and I certainly won't be home before he would have to go to work. I told him I'm planning a 24 hr shopping marithon. :rotfl:

been there done that! The only pain I had in the couple i had... was the MONEY!!!!!!!!! No physical pain at all! Went to an Endio that does just those :)

[tink2020]

Needless to say, on the side of each of their cows it said "Eat Mor Chikin". It was adorable!

That's hilarious! I love those cows :)

That's good to know! Unfortunately, I have to have two and I'm already feeling the money part of it! :(

I can thank my Daddy for that one.... Cassi got my mom's teeth, and I got his soft crappy ones! They look pretty thanks to even more money spent (not mine at that point :rolleyes: ) but I spend more time at the dentist than anywhere else it seems!

[miss missy]

Me too... outta work soon and off to drive home, bed and off to teach art class for 8am!!! Oh ya... I need a vacation :rotfl:

Ask for some good drugs to take home with you - you might as well get something out of it!

[bengalbelle]

Oh, and anyone who is off to try Chick-fil-a based on the wonderful reviews from Dawn, Jennifer, and myself...please not that they are closed on Sundays. :teeth:
:rotfl: On our way to North Carolina (13 hour road trip) I had the Chick Fil A's mapped out the whole way. We pulled into the one in Commerce, Ga. and sit, sit, sit at the drive thru speaker. I asked DH WHY aren't they taking our order? After another minute or so we realized we were the only vehicle in the parking lot. It was Sunday :blush: and we knew better. I was soooo disappointed!

Check for locations there. If there isn't one near you, get in the car and start driving!!!!! Seriously, you don't know what you're missing.

Found one in Nashua ... 90 minutes from here. Not good. we need to get a closer Papa John's too.

[Steamboat Marti]

Speaking of Chick-a-lick (as my kids call it), they had to make cows for school for Farm Day. Needless to say, on the side of each of their cows it said "Eat Mor Chikin". It was adorable!



Hey Denise -- how about a couple of those Chick-a-lick sandwiches at the airport, say around 2pm on January 22nd???? Help out a poor northerner who doesn't know what chick-fil-a is!!!! Huh, how about it???

[itslisa]

Wow, It's 77 miles to the closest Chik Fil A for us. I guess I'll need to make a Christmas Shopping Trip to Nashua NH

LOL ... Deb and I can make a planned trip to meet!

[bengalbelle]

Great - I did a search and the highest mileage was 150. There are no Chik-Fil-As within 150 miles of my house. :guilty:
Mooooooove! ;)

[Steamboat Marti]

Mooooooove! ;)

Love the play on the cow.... but seriously... we just moooooved up here a year ago and DH said the next move we make will be waterfront. (I don't see that in our future) so it looks MOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my pillowcases. My co-worker just loved them and can't wait to suprise her grandchildren. They leave for Disney tomorrow.

miss missy - congrats on your milestone 12345 way to go :cool1:

Denise - your tree looks great and you could never tell your kids had surgery today.

[ReAnSt]

As for lamination or a laminator, last year I got one at Staples on Black Friday that was free after rebate. It is a hot laminator, it laminates up to 8 1/2 by 11 in paper. Would do longer if you can find the lamination for it. I got a pack of about 180 assorted lamination pieces at BJ's for $18.

Just something some of you might want to be on the lookout for Black Friday.

It's a deal. In fact, there's a Chick-Fil-A at Concourse A gate 11!

[ReAnSt]

Darn it you are all making me hungry for Chick- Fil-a. I haven't had any in a while and gasp I don't really like it all that much but now I want it. And I know it isn't open anymore today.

I'm glad to hear that your kids and some of you are feeling better. It's not fun being sick.

We're flying Delta, but they said the plane is run by Atlantic Southeast Airlines????? Once I find out which gate and concourse, I'll let you know if its doable.... what I remember of Atlanta is that it is one BIG airport.

[Steffy]

I'm way back on page 820 and I can't stay up tonight. I'm exhausted. :guilty:

Three cheers for triplefigs triplets!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

So glad to see Nick and Christian are doing better. :Pinkbounc

My grandson is fine. :Pinkbounc

I took my granddaughter to her dress rehearsal for the American Girl fashion show this weekend (she's one of the models) and I'm pooped. :guilty:

Nitey, nite......

One big airport that I would have rather been stuck in than coming home to 36in of snow on the ground, a water main break, school was closed for a week and I didn't get to stay at Walt Disney World. We were one of the last flights into the Philadelphia airport for a few days and it took us 6 hours to get home from the airport when it should have taken a little over 2 hours.

I hate airports, I hate flying. The only good thing about flying is that we go to WDW!!

Denise - will you be able to get to chick fil a? At our airport the only people who can get to the food court are passengers

[Steamboat Marti]

Denise - will you be able to get to chick fil a? At our airport the only people who can get to the food court are passengers

I never thought of that! How would I meet up with her?

[triplefigs]

I haven't flown since 9-11. can I not go through security to a gate without a ticket? I don't think Marti and Paul will have time to come out to meet us... Guess I'll find out on 11/29 when we fly out!

[Steffy]

:cheer2: :cheer2: Happy Birthday Colby!! :jumping1: :bday: :cake:

[ReAnSt]

No they won't let you through security anymore unless you have a ticket for a flight. So I'm not sure how you would meet them unless you meet them on the other side of security or something. But I'm not sure if they will let them back through. Although they should have a boarding pass for their other flight.

I was thinking about that when you guys first started talking - the only people allowed through security are those with boarding passes - they can come out to meet you and as long as they have a boarding pass they can go back through security - at our airport - that line can be up to 45 minutes long -

in Cincinnati - I don't think it would be logistically possible and I imagine atlanta is bigger than Cincinnati

[julia & nicks mom]

Denise -

any particular reason you decided to post your designs twice? ;)

Atlanta is massive and the busiest airport in the country. I highly doubt there would be even close to enough time. Boo hoo!

each of your design threads posted twice!!!

there are two triplefigs general design threads

I didn;t read very closely - I thought there were two threads - each duplicated - I see now that it is 4 threads - my bad

Well, I'm glad it was YOU and not me! :rotfl: Night. I'm exhausted and have to deal with toddlers all day tomorrow. But at least they're feeding us Thanksgiving dinner complete with turkey, ham, dressing, cornbread, pumpkin pie~!

[Brendita]

I won a vacation trip for four through Alamo.


round trip air fare
rental car
5 days MYW with park hopper
4 nights lodging at a Disney hotel


Only thing I ever won was a set of bottles & a sterizer.
Wouldn't you know it I was breast feeding.

Since you said it first, I guess I can come out of the closet. I really don't like Chic-Fil-A. My kids love it though so we do go there for them. It is okay but absolutely nothing I would make a special trip for.

[Steffy]

Amy - I know what you mean - not about Chik Fil-A (we don't have them here) but feeling miserable. There is one television show I like to watch each week - Survivor. Don't ya know the phone rings at 7:59... its my dad. DHunka Hunka asks if I want him to Tivo it. Stupidly I say no - don't worry I'll be off the phone soon. No Tivo. Friend calls with a real problem and I can't rush her off the phone (I did the right thing and actually listened!!) and say to myself, don't worry, DH is Tivoing it. Get off the phone at 9:03 and find out it wasn't Tivo'd. Not DH's fault, I did tell him nevermind. But did I think I was going to be on the phone FOR AN HOUR????? NOOOOOOO. DH tells me who gets voted off, but I told him it didn't really matter without knowing all the dirt. So now, I, an adult, am stinking miserable OVER A DUMB TV SHOW! And to top it off, I think I'm more mad at myself for being mad because ITS A DUMB TV SHOW!. Please help this :guilty: turn into :teeth:

I got home at 10:00 and sat in front of the tv to look at the Apprentice, which I thought I had done the series for. Nope. Martha's is there, but not Donald's

Been there. Done that. Am pi$$ed at myself. :badpc:

Glad the trips and Nick are feeling better.

Christain threw up his medicine last night as soon as he took it :earseek: Luckily we were in the kitchen which hs a hard floor. He had some medinol in thenight because he was burning up, and this morning managed to keep his antibiotics down OK. He's much brighter today (was a very poor waif yesterday)

I forgot about the time difference.

Ah yes, a strange phenomenon known only to me and the tag fairy :rotfl2:

:paw: :charac2: :dancer: says Christian :rotfl:
