[Lisa AF]

Congratulations on 20 years Lisa!

Our cute dog will wake me up to get her breakfast and take care of her potty needs.

Kiss our daughter (15) and DH (over 40) goodbye. I'll miss our college age daughter and text her a good morning.

Shuffle back to bed for an hour and lay there and think that I should get up and do a devotional and clean up a bit.

I'll fall asleep 10 minutes before the alarm goes off at 8am. Feel sorry for myself that I have to go to work. I much prefer days that don't require a hairbrush or bra.

Go to work until 12:30. Come home, kiss my sweet dog, fix some lunch, and eat in front of the computer.

Mt. Washmore

Head to my studio and play with molten glass.

Cook dinner and hang with my family.

Lisa- "I much prefer days..." So tag worthy... Where is that Tag Fairy when you need her?

[ddavis860]

Get up way too early to get DS up and out the door to go on a field trip to a Shakespeare Festival in Alabama.


My DS18 is in the Shakespeare Festival at UofD the end of the month! I don't think I will be able to go, I have to work :( His drama teacher changed things up, and they are doing a scene from Hamlet, but all rolls are reversed. Guys are girls, and girls are guys. DS18 is Queen Gertrude...all day long I hear "The Drink....The DRINK... THE DRINK!!! I.....am.....(cough, cough, cough.... ) poisoned!" :lmao:

[ddavis860]

OK...DH just called... He's almost here...

Everyone getting sky dandruff today...BE SAFE!!

Everyone not getting sky dandruff... I WANT TO LIVE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!!! :goodvibes

[morgansmom2000]

No sn@w here yet. Supposed to start "around the morning commute." Greaaaaaaaaaaat...

Princess has a scheduled half-day anyhow, so they have not canceled school. My FIL is coming to get her off the bus. Hopefully, my boss will send me home early.

I'm so with you on the no bra days! I went to the grocery store yesterday (I showered, dried my hair, dressed, etc.) and when I got home, I put my PJs back on. Ahhhh, that's a little piece of heaven right there!

Everyone be safe and have a wonderful day.

Crossing my fingers for a purple envelope (and a good mail-person to deliver it) at the PBF's house!

That sounds like it'll be such fun! DS loves Shakespeare. They are going to see a performance of Hamlet today at the festival as well as get a backstage tour of the theatre. He's really excited.

DS has never played a girl character, but he got to be Romeo in "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged" to a boy being Juliette.
He had to kiss the boy too!!!!:eek: He said that was a really hard thing for them to do without laughing especially with all their friends going "Ewwwww!!!!" in the audience each night!!:rotfl: It was probably the fastest little peck of a kiss that Romeo and Juliette every had!

[party of 3]

Morning everyone!

Well the cancelled school last night for today!!!!
Bubba and I were at target and dh called and said it was all over the tv and he had just gotten thr reverse 911 call. Yippee. I can really use a day to stay home and do laundry, make soup, work on valentines, and chill out. It's been a long long week. And it's o ly Wednesday.
Stay safe everyone that is out in it.

Lisa - happy happy anniversary. And many more.

Danica - please let it be a purple day!! It's my favorite color. Let's hope it comes today. Trying to talk bubbas daddy into a trip down there and it would make it so much easier if I could say " I know but Danica NEEDS us to go there and see her. We all need to support her!!!" it's my plan ;)

I too love the hairbrush and bra quote!!!!:lmao: very funny.

Have a GOOD day everyone.

[AlexWyattMommy]

No school here today -again. The one county is on a level 2 snow emergency, I'm pretty sure the superintendent would get in big trouble if he didn't cancel. This is our fifth snow day this year and the smartypants only gave us 3 next year. :confused3 If he thinks I'm sending my kids after all the testing is done just to hang around because of his poor planning...yah, I don't think so bud.


Finish coffee & bagel.
Empty Dishwasher.
Switch Laundry.
Food should be settled enough to no show itself if I go do elliptical now.
Shower.
More coffee.
Cut the fringe on the blankets.
Lunch.
Work on second CJ.
Cut more fringe (this takes way longer than I thought it should. Guess I'm just not meant to live on the fringe ;) )
Get dinner ready.
More laundry throughout the day.

[PinballFamily]

Thinking purple (hoping purple!) around here today! (There was never this much hoopla around me waiting for my Harvard acceptance letter a million years ago...but then again, this is DISNEY!) :lmao:

DS (and, apparently, his classroom aide) home sick today - thanks to classmate "Frankie" who has been sneezing and coughing all over them for the past few days. Thanks a bunch, Frankie! :mad:

DD has school, but it was a scheduled noon release anyway - so no biggie, since our snow is supposed to just start then.

So, a poky day - little bit of chores, little bit of scrapping, and repeat!

Happy Anniversary, Lisa! What a special day! :rose: (couldn't get the fuschia color rose!)

[rlovew]

Good morning!

Holly- enjoy your day with Bubba!
Deb- glad things are working out with work.
Danica- good luck
Lisa- Happy Anniversary!

[Lisa AF]

Lisa- "I much prefer days..." So tag worthy... Where is that Tag Fairy when you need her?

I do need a tag. I've been here for YEARS and don't have one. Unloved?

[AlexWyattMommy]

[Lisa AF]

Thanks! You're so sweet.

[PrincessNancy96]

First, Happy Anniversary Lisa!!!

Second, no school here.. we have one snow day left.... (this is the most snow days we have had in years... 3).. we had 5 built in days.. the Jan. one we did not use.. We are using next Monday as the make up day.. than we have 2 Fridays in April that will be used for yesterday/today... so we have one left... no one quite understands why today was called because it was called less than an hour after the 2-hr delay was called in.. we hadn't even had our 2 hour delay. :confused2:

Third, today's list..
finish laundry
play with the kids
keep Dh working so he doesn't drive us crazy! LOL

Lisa- "I much prefer days..." So tag worthy... Where is that Tag Fairy when you need her?

I agree!!!! That was very funny.


Cut more fringe (this takes way longer than I thought it should. Guess I'm just not meant to live on the fringe ;) )


:rotfl:

[StitchIsOurHero]

So, we got an early dismissal today! We got out at 11:30 due to snow. It was snowing/flurrying majorly this morning, and about 9:45, they made the announcement that they were closing at 11:30. (We have to be there to serve lunch). At 11:10 or so, the sun came out (we haven't seen it in WEEKS, and HELLOOOOO, it comes out TODAY??), and the flurrying stopped. But, the job was done, so home DS & I are!!

Going to relax this afternoon!! Still hoping to get my workout in, but it'll be much harder since we're "off schedule"!

[BernardandMissBianca]

White crap is falling and starting to stick. We could have had early dismissal but it was nice to sleep til 11. (I'm pulling a Danica!)

Anyone in the Chesapeake Bay area, please be careful. Hurricane force winds are due today as well as 34 ft storm surges.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Praying for PURPLE!!!!

[PinballFamily]

No purple rain, purple snow, or purple envelopes today...

[lovingthemouse]

Happy Anniversary Lisa!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

No purple rain, purple snow, or purple envelopes today...

well, on the up side there was no rejection letter too.

Maybe Thursday will be a Purple kind of day!!

[ZeroToHero]

White crap is falling and starting to stick. We could have had early dismissal but it was nice to sleep til 11. (I'm pulling a Danica!)

:rotfl: I got up at 9 today, thank you very much!!! (I know that's not saying much, considering what time most of you get up..)

[BernardandMissBianca]

:rotfl: I got up at 9 today, thank you very much!!! (I know that's not saying much, considering what time most of you get up..)

only because you didn't get the snow day call yesterday like me! :rotfl2:

[morgansmom2000]

Snowing, starting to stick...I'm home in my jammies, but may go out once Morgan's friend's mom gets home. We have to start working on the science fair, and they are going to Florida (Disney!) next week for vacation. Crap.

Oh, and I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning at work! It was in my sweatshirt pocket and it fell out and dropped right in the toilet! I can't believe it. I'm pretty sure it's fried. :upsidedow

[BernardandMissBianca]

Huge fear of mine!!!!!

[morgansmom2000]

It's nothing special. I've had it for a few years (we just have a pay as you go plan for me - for emergencies), and we had planned to wait until this summer to all get cells (Princess will be a walker this fall), but I may have to step that plan up.

[BernardandMissBianca]

my whole life is on my phone. Contacts, calendar, notes, email, iPod. thankfully I back it up to the computer regularly.

My daughter needs to be working on her science fair project too. It is at school and they've been closed for two days and will probably be closed tomorrow. She's freaking!

[ddavis860]

Wow, what a drive home from the hosp! BIG winds... Buffy, we are very close to the Chesapeake, so they were right! The snow was drifting all over the roads, and you would be driving and all of a sudden it was white...just white... totally blind. They are giving tickets to people who are driving in Maryland...if you aren't essential personel, you get slapped with $1000 fine...yikes! I'm off the next 2 days, so things should be back to normal when I go back to work on Saturday.

We went and picked up DS21's way too cute DGF at work so she could get snowed in at our house. They are outside right now making an igloo. They are using old postal boxes for the brick molds. It's pretty cool looking, but it's getting colder, and dark...

I made hot wing dip...one of her favs, for when they come in to thaw...

[StitchIsOurHero]

I DID IT!!!!! I did 30 minutes on the "dreadmill" tonight! I realize that's not a MAJOR accomplishment, but it is for me! I'm always too lazy to do it at night!

Danica, sorry no purple envelope today, but you KNOW that I think Thursdays are the best day of the week, so maybe it'll come tomorrow!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

:woohoo::yay::woohoo::dance3:

I saved 40% off my brand new Disney Vacation. They just extended the % off room rate specials.

I did have a reservation for the Swan deluxe room and the WL standard view - I know bad me - but with the new rate I was able to get WL Courtyard view with bunk beds for only $100 more then the deluxe room at the Swan.

My DH really likes the WL. So he is happy. We saved money, I'm happy. My boys don't have to share a bed, they are happy.

What a great ending to a snow filled day. :love:

[PrincessNancy96]

Well I just ordered my fleece kits for no-sew blankets.. 5 blankets $50.00 & free shipping! :) Need them done in the next 60 days and we get a FREE DAY! :)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Awesome, AWM!! That's great!

And way to go, Nan! I'm still trying to decide if we're going to do that. We have APs (they run out after our June trip), and I know we could get the FastPass, but would we use it since we have DS??

[ZeroToHero]

Danica, sorry no purple envelope today, but you KNOW that I think Thursdays are the best day of the week, so maybe it'll come tomorrow!!

I hope soooo. I don't know how much more of this I can take!!!!!

:woohoo::yay::woohoo::dance3:

Yay!!! That's so great - you guys will have a blast!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am excited.

Nan, did you get the kits?
Wish I got the kits, but the only ones my Jo's had were too small for the 40x60 requirements. It's taking forever to cut the darn fringe.
I do have have two of the eight completed. I have until the 19th to finish the rest.

SIOH, if your APs run out in June, are you going again afterwards? You have until 12/15 to use the vouchers. You can apply the one day credit to your new APs. After you activate them that is. They also have collectible Pins if you don't need the tickets or FP.

[BernardandMissBianca]

So I had a productive afternoon, DH replaced the hard drive in my laptop so I have more room. Well I was able to spend the whole day corralling my photos into one spot. I will delete the copies that DH recovered and tomorrow/this weekend I'm going to burn them to DVD's and transfer them to the new external HD that DH bought just for photos.

[lovingthemouse]

I'd say that Mr. Blink is a pretty handy guy to have around!!!! Way to go Bamb, he is a keeper.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Yep, I think I'll keep him, even though he drives me batty sometimes.

[morgansmom2000]

Yay, Ann! I want to start planning, but there really isn't anything to plan with a cruise!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Are you doing the Disney cruise? Do you have the PassPorter for that? If not, did you want to borrow mine? I can tuck it in the CJ box.

[morgansmom2000]

I am doing the Disney Cruise. I think that's the book I have, but thanks for the offer!

[tinkryansmom]

Yay, Ann! I want to start planning, but there really isn't anything to plan with a cruise!

:eek::eek:Did you really just say there isn't anything to plan for a DCL cruise!!?:eek:

OK going next January and planning flights, limos, hotels, clothes for all the theme nights - for the entire family, dining rotations, PALO, Excursions, How to beat all the other people to MY hammock on CC, formal night pics, fish extender gifts, secret santas, official door magnets, official t-shirts, official panama canal crossing certificates for captain to sign, updating passports, buying new luggage, DDs schoolwork, goodie bags for the plane ride, PALO, excursions, and KEEPING PEOPLE OUT OF MY HAMMOCK!!!:lmao:

Oy - nothing to plan.:sad2:

:rolleyes::dance3:OK I am obsessed.:lmao:

[morgansmom2000]

LOL, I guess I'm thinking laid back cruise :)

I can't buy plane tickets yet, freakin' JetBlue is still stuck on 10/31, and I'm trying to talk DH into doing the give a day get a day thing and going down on Friday (Halloween Party at MK). So, if we don't go on Friday, there won't be any hotel, cuz we'll leave at the butt crack of dawn on Saturday morning. There just isn't much I can do now.

(And the people on my meet thread are kind of annoying - not sure I'm doing FE stuff or Trick or Treating).

[tinkryansmom]

LOL - I hear you about the annoying people. I am GTY status and hoping I don't get put near one family. There may be a "man overboard" warning on our cruise!!:lmao:

But the FE thing is fun. ;);)for the kids;);)

[PrincessNancy96]

I had to order online as the store had NONE! The disney kits were still 24.99 even though I had the internet print out that they were onsale... so I told them thanks but no thanks, I'll order online and walked out.. so did 4 other moms behind me who were there for the same reason! LOL
