~The Daily Grind~ 2/23/10

Welcome to Tuesday!! :woohoo:

So, the rain came yesterday afternoon, and I can see land again. Land, and still mountains of white...but it's nice to see the land....finally

And I have to tell you all what happened. On the way to the pot luck the other night, I made a little comment about running the vacuum. I said it kind of joking about how even though I'm now full time, I'm still expected to keep the house clean and vacuumed. Then I said "I'm just putting that out there...just saying..."

Came home yesterday and DH had run the vacuum in the downstairs. :yay::banana::yay: And was fixing chicken pot pie for dinner! What a surprise! So while the pot pie wasn't exactly WW friendly, I had a small portion, and totally gushed how wonderful the house looked...gotta encourage the good stuff right :rotfl:

My List for today:

Caffeinate- This repeats everyday!! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e147/ddavis860/smiley/smiley_drinkcoffee.gif

Try to keep my word kinder

Keep to my points! Must make up for the pot pie...

Keep purple thoughts :wizard:

Work till 3p

:surfweb: DIS/ FB

Swish and Swipe... everyday! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e147/ddavis860/smiley/wc.gif

Dinner- hopefully something WW friendly tonight...

Have a Great Tuesday Everyone!! :teeth:

Morning all - boy, now it is official! Our days ARE all running together - see, this thread is proof!

Wish I had an outside the house day - I'm stuck here, except walking the dog before our rain/snow/whatever starts in a bit.

Hoping for purple today - otherwise, I will turn purple! (Thanks for all of your purply wishes!) Z2H is really feeling under the weather today - not sure if she'll go to school or not. Think she may have what I had last week. Ick, but not long-lasting.

Christy - sorry about the sugar widow! But, yum! Make that syrup, Mr. Joyah!

TRM - keep forgetting to say that I hope the construction hiccups get resolved quickly and you get under way!

Prep cookie receipts and money envelopes
Figure out cookie order for booth sale on Sunday - Um, hello, you don't have any thin mints? Are they or are they not the most popular cookie? How the flippin' h-e-double hockey sticks can you not have thin mints? And, no we're not getting any more this week...Any freakin' suggestions on how to get more? I am fairly certain my head is going to explode.
Card for next Monday's challenge
Banks
Jewelers? (DH bought me a bracelet for VD and it's too small, I'm big boned!)
Sister's? Pick up my book, get her cookie money

Supposed to be messy here today. Too warm to snow, and yet not quite cold enough to rain. Fun, fun.

Hoping purple mail arrives today!

Feel better, Z2H. And, you too Holly. I had a headache last night, woke up feeling pretty good though.

Good day all!

[morgansmom2000]

Ugh, the boards are all screwy! It's not registering that I've read threads!

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Same! This is all sorts of annoying. :sad1: Hopefully they get it fixed soon though!

Is Nan okay haven't seen her in a while?

she's good, just really busy. Spring sports start soon, plus 4-H and all the drama of getting the first kid off to college.

[WDWMom]

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning!

[ZeroToHero]

Thanks everyone... I'm feeling a little better, but I didn't want to risk going to school and getting other people sick. If I feel better later today, I'll go in for my last class, and I have to go to work, but for now, I'm still sorta "bleh."

And tell Nan that if she wants to talk to me, because I went through the college transition last year, to let me know.

Off to go stalk the mailman now....

[ZeroToHero]

ARG! Nothing!

On the phone with them now.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Be sure to type as they are speaking. I'm dying to know.

[morgansmom2000]

OMG, tell us!

[PinballFamily]

The suspense grows....!

[AlexWyattMommy]

The suspense grows....!

Wait... aren't you like right there with her? What is she saying??

[morgansmom2000]

I swear my head is about to explode. I email the cookie cupboard, I need xyz for the cookie booth we are having on Sunday. Um, no, we don't have any thin mints...Okay, I email back, are you getting any by the end of the week? No cookie cupboard deliveries this week because of girl deliveries. *THAT'S IT?* No suggestions on where to go to get any? No I should have them by Monday, so maybe you can hold on to your own orders with thin mints and give those out next week?

I'm so done.

[ZeroToHero]

I GOT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was nothing in the mail when I checked, so I called, and after he checked who I was, he said he had to go find out what was going on, and I got put on hold. After a little bit, he came back, and said he was told to make a magical moment for me - what was the role I really wanted? And I said I'd be happy with anything, but he said "C'mon, what do you really want?" And so I said "Attractions" and he said "Really? Well, you got Attractions!" So I started crying and thanking him, and was soooo happy!

I'm going to Disney World! :teeth:

[morgansmom2000]

Wait... aren't you like right there with her? What is she saying??

Pam, please transcribe the conversation!

[AlexWyattMommy]

:love::love::love::love::love:

I am sooo happy for you!!

She was upstairs on her phone and I was downstairs, chewing my nails down!

They had told her last week to call (today), if an envelope didn't show up. It wasn't in today's mail, so she called....

Thanks for all of your marvelous purple thoughts! They worked!!!

[morgansmom2000]

Congratulations, Danica! I hope to talk DH into going down a day early for our cruise so I can see you there ;)

[morgansmom2000]

What exactly does "Attractions" entail?

[WDWMom]

Congrats!!!!!! My own DD would like to spend a semester at WDW but it will not fit in with her program and will screw up her scholarships. Lucky you!!!!!!

[ZeroToHero]

What exactly does "Attractions" entail?

It's all the rides and shows.... Jungle Cruise, Great Movie Ride, Kali River Rapids, American Idol Experience... stuff like that.

Now I just need to wait for my purple letter to come.... still. hahah.

The downers: she'll be away for her birthday, our BIG anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas...:sad1:

The upside: bwah ha ha ha... I'll get my scrap area back! :rolleyes1 (But, it won't be as much fun...)

[AlexWyattMommy]

:hug: It'll be okay Mom. At least you know she is just not there for the parties this time, she'll be back for the next ones.

[StitchIsOurHero]

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!

I've checked about 5 times so far this morning from work to see if we knew anything!!! I'm so, so excited. . .and people are wondering why I'm typing at my computer and crying!!

WAY TO GO, DISNEY!!! YOU GOT IT RIGHT!!! CONGRATS, DANICA!!!

[joyah]

ABOUT TIME THEEY GOT IT RIGHT.

Pam just think though of the excuse to go xmas at the world but honey I just can't let her miss us that much it's your baby girl you don't want her to miss us.......

[DisneyBarlans]

So excited for you Danica!!! We'll be down there Thanksgiving!

[morgansmom2000]

Aw, I don't know how I'd feel about her missing Christmas, but wow. How fun. We had the *best* guy on The Jungle Cruise. We actually waited for another boat so we could get on with him again, but his shift was over. It was okay, cuz Morgan ended up "driving" the boat. It was great.

I still keep thinking about it and smiling :lmao: (you getting in, not Morgan driving the boat).
