Midnight moms/croppers

[wdwmickey]

Here is the thread Disney Rider suggested. Those of us who are up to the wee small hours cropping & making swap items can chat on this thread instead of bogging down the other ones :) Hope to chat with some of you tonight :flower3:

[mommy2mrb]

I'm in! this will be fun!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Here's a thought...I really love to have someone to talk to and ask opinions from when I am scrapping / cropping. What if we did...say once a month...an on-line crop. We could set it up for a Friday night or Saturday afternoon / night and even possibly hold sign-ups. Anyone interested could come onto the thread during the crop, get in the conversation, ask opinions, or whatever all while sitting at home and working!!! I don't know about everyone else, but it would be awesome for me! I know I am more likely to actually get myself to do it if I have the "push" of a designated time frame and in a "group" environment. (Even if it is a virtual group!! :lmao:) I don't know if it is something that would need a hostess or not?? Maybe one of the mod's will read this and weigh in?? Anyway, just a thought...I have seen them other places and thought it may be fun!

I love this idea! I usually ask DH questions about my work/pages...poor guy is usually relaxing playing Xbox when I am bugging him haha.

I am so glad I was nosey on my lunch break and opened this thread (I am usually passed out by 9:30 eastern time...I know, ridiculous. All my co-workers tell me that will change when we have kids- so I'm gonna enjoy it while I can :coffee:

I'm thinking if we do this on a weekend...maybe some that are usually in bed earlier than others may stay up later and be able to "hang out" more. Obviously, those that wanted to participate could join the virtual crop later (since we have possible interest from all different time zones). And, when you have had enough or are just too tired to go on...just say good bye and log off!! I just think it would be fun to have an appointed time to be able to chat and help each other out. And, since only some of us are close to each other, it seems logical! (To me anyway!) :thumbsup2 I know if I said to my DH I have a crop on Saturday from 7 pm until 1 am...here at the house on the computer, but I will not be available to anyone...just like it would be if I were at a crop somewhere else...he'd say ok, shake his head and go on with his day. But, what it will do for me is make me come, sit down and WORK!!!!! I love doing the swaps and make the time for them. But, what I don't do is make time to scrap...for myself!! I seem to find time to scrap for others. So, it's time to do it for me and I need that lead!! LOL

Erin--that's a great idea!!! I would love to do this. DH & MDD are tired of giving me their opinion and I would love some feedback and a dedicated time to work on my pages not swap stuff :rotfl2:

[rlovew]

If you wanted to do that on the boards I know they have chat sessions and we could have a chat session (I don't know how it works but I can ask on the mod board). You other choice might be setting up a yahoo group or something like that- I mean you could use a thread on the board but a chat set-up may work better.

Let me ask about how chatting works and I will get back to you when I get answers (but it may be tomorrow since I am going to meet my Sis for dinner out of town tonight).

Rebecca - that would be awesome!!! Thanks! I look forward to hearing what you can find out!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Rebecca I'm not sure if we can post pictures on the chat thread though.
We could do it here, but I'd rather have it in the scrap forum instead of the swap forum, more traffic.

Either way would be good...do you think it is a good idea?? Do you think it would work and / or generate interest?

[BernardandMissBianca]

Yeah, I think it would be a blast.

I'm a midnight mom but we could do it from 6 -1 or 7 -1 so people can come and go.
We just need to pick a date. Maybe do a poll on the scrap board and here to see what day of the week works for most.

do you want to set up the poll or should I?
We should wait to see what the webmasters say about where we should post, here or the chat.
Sometimes the chat doesn't work so Rebecca and I are trying to figure the details out.

[wdwmickey]

We can put the thread/chat wherever y'all want. I just started it on the swap board because we've been chatting late on the swap threads :)

Very cool!!! It doesn't matter to me who sets it up...I just think the motivation would be great...plus the conversation would be fun!! So, when we hear what's what, let's do a poll on both sides and invite everyone and see what works best for people. We can do a sign-up and hopefully keep it up...maybe once a month. Would you want to do a different "host" like the layout challenge every month to sort-of have the responsibility of setting the dates up and whatever? I am excited!!!!

[DisneyBarlans]

Sounds like a great idea!!

[wdwmickey]

Looks like everyone went to bed early tonight? I finished another set for the ABC swap and I'm off to bed.

[Disney_rider]

Hey all!!!
The chat is a great idea!!! I "Skype" does anyone else. you can see me crop from where i set up my laptop when I crop. Fridays are good for me...Generally..Once of month is good.

Sorry I've been off today we are gearing up for a HUGE scrapbooking/ garage sale this weekend I'm getting rid of a TON of stuff. I wish you all could come to the sale you would go NUTS!!!

[mommy2mrb]

hey Surina, I guess we are the only ones here!!

what ya doin?

I've got skyp too!

[Disney_rider]

Im cleaning my moms room she is getting rid of so much scrapbook stuff its all old and she saves everything

[mommy2mrb]

that's good! makes room for new stuff :cool1:
just checking all my threads and cutting some letters on the cricut for holiday swap

[wdwmickey]

Hi guys! I went to bed, but, couldn't sleep so I'm sketching ideas for Enchanted Tiki room.

[mommy2mrb]

sorry you can't sleep...I'm working on my xmas mini kit, the letters for my title are going to take me forever to put together

[wdwmickey]

Lisa-- I have 2 sheets of the Hawaiian paper left & I could check HL tomorrow if you'd like me to send it to you.

[mommy2mrb]

are you sure? only if you'll let me send you the $$ for the paper and postage!

[wdwmickey]

Not a problem at all. The HL is only 15 mins frome here. How many sheets would you like?

What title are you making for the mini kit?

[mommy2mrb]

thanks, let me know what I will owe you...probably 6 pages.

my title is "santa's here !" just really tedious with all the letters. I did a PP of santa and glitterd all the white parts, so he's very sparkly

[wdwmickey]

Ooh, that sounds great :)

I'll send you a PM with the info.

[mommy2mrb]

thanks, he did turn out pretty cute, I think I'm off to bed, my eyes are getting tired and I just finished one of my titles, 4 more to go
talk to you tomorrow, hope you can get some sleep!

[wdwmickey]

Have a good sleep :)

[Disney_rider]

wow I'm exhausted my entire living room is full of stuff for the garage sale and 1/4 of my garage. I cant believe Ive gotten rid of so much. It feels good though.I'm FREEEEEEE:goodvibes
I put all my big packaged scrapbook stuff in out in garage and all my scrapbook magazines I swear i cant bring myself to throw them away....

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Hey girls!!!! Weren't you the chatty bunch last night??!! Well, I missed out...went to bed at 12:30...but that was 10:30 / 9:30 for you guys. I think this little section...whether it is here or the chat board or whatever will work out nicely!

Lisa - I can't wait to see the Santa set! It does sound tedious, but the picture in my mind is amazing!

Surina - wish I lived by you to come buy all your scrappy stuff!!! LOL You actually just got off here not long ago!!

Cheryl - hope you got some sleep!

Anyway, up with the kiddos...the oldest left about 25 minutes ago and the middle leaves in about 20...then the little guy an hour after. Then, it's swaparama for the day! I have cleaned and run and played and done all of my mom things the past couple of days...today (at least while they are at school) is all MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! :woohoo:

[Disney_rider]

Yeah im still up. I think I had to much coffee and Dr.Pepper.
Maybe a hot shower will help.....
I hope this thread stays here I love my Swap friends I feel we are way more social than other parts of the boards. I've tried talking on the scrapbooking boards and Ive never felt the same level of Board love as I do here. I never feel ignored over here. The people that DO talk to me on the other board are 99.9% people that are on this board as well.
But thats my 2cents :)

:grouphug::grouphug: We will not ignore you!! Hope you can sleep!! You are on the graveyard shift sleep schedule! I got my 6 hours...not drinking my crack.....ummmmm.....I mean tea and kids are off to school and I am starting to swap work!

[Disney_rider]

DUDE forget it I'm not gonna sleep today I'm gonna stay up so I'm exhausted this isn't normal and I know this has to do with DH being gone.I think it's time to get back on my sleep meds.
Weird thing I'm not tired!!!
But I have discovered at 5am MTV actually plays music like it used to...

[wdwmickey]

I didn't get on until after DWTS was over! Enjoy your MEEEEEEEE day, I love those days!!! will post my Santa stuff when I'm done!

Surina, I know how you feel about not sleeping, take your sleep meds, you will get sleep deparation (fuzzy feeling in your head) its not fun, I don't get any sleep without my OTC meds, at least 5-6 hours a night!

[Disney_rider]

I MUST share this pic with you my mom just showed me that she took of DD yesterday morning.Its hilarious and cute.
Yes I know its bad that we let Day have coffee but she's so picky about what she eats and drinks I'm just glad she wants something. *FYI to all my Daughters name is Daytona we call her Day :)
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj163/azr6mom/Daytonamorning.jpg

[mommy2mrb]

she's so cute! that's how I look until I get my coffee too!

Surina, I looked at the CKC conv schedule...the one in AZ is the weekend after we get back from WDW, so I don't think that would work....will look at Megan's school schedule, give my other AZ friend a call and try to figure out a long weekend we could come down, with your being so close to my friend we will definately have to get together! Megan would love to play with Day, she loves little kids!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Love it!!! I am the only person in my house that does not drink coffee...just don't like the taste at all. But, all three of my kids do and have their own Disney mugs (the big kind) and drink every weekend with my husband! Nope - give me my Twinings Irish Breakfast tea about 4 - 5 times a day and I'm good to go!! Anyway, my 6 year old has been drinking it for about 2 years...his growth hasn't been stunted yet!!! LOL I know that is an old wive's tale that they say about kids and coffee!! Anyway, cute picture!! Hope you can get yourself back on schedule with sleep!

we can do a different host every month but I think the mods should host the first couple til we can get our feet wet, edit posts etc.

I totally get what you mean about coffee - dont get the taste at all! but a nice big mug of strong english breakfast tea is the best - especially first thing on a morning!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Sounds great!!! I wasn't sure about any of it...just throwing ideas out and looking for feedback! I definitely see the need for the mods...so does that mean you will be volunteering? :rolleyes1 LOL I think you would make a fun hostess!! And, if you didn't want to even do hosts at all, that's good, too...you tell us what you think and a-cropping we will go!!! :thumbsup2 I'm so excited for this!!!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I totally get what you mean about coffee - dont get the taste at all! but a nice big mug of strong english breakfast tea is the best - especially first thing on a morning!

Yay!!! A fellow tea gal! I also like the English Breakfast!! I go back and forth between the Irish and English. Both are great...but I am a bit of a tea snob and really only like to drink Twinings!! Disney actually got me started on that because that's what they give you at their breakfasts and I was hooked! A bit expensive, but the flavor is the best!!

[mommy2mrb]

I do love tea, but need my strong coffee in the am :surfweb:, w/splenda and vanilla cream, yes I like a bit of sweetness, maybe its because of growing up in Seattle, we do LOVE our coffee here!

[wdwmickey]

I'm a tea girl too. English breakfast with milk and sugar (the traditional way) or chai ;) I can't stand the taste of coffee, good thing I like the way it smells since both DH and DD1 drink coffee in the morning.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I take mine with 1/2 & 1/2 and sugar. It really is my downfall!! When I am dieting (which I should be doing right now)...I switch to pom green tea. I like it, but really miss my regular tea then!! But, I have to make myself give it up because the cream and sugar are TOOOOOOO many calories!! So, when I am not dieting, I take advantage!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I do love tea, but need my strong coffee in the am :surfweb:, w/splenda and vanilla cream, yes I like a bit of sweetness, maybe its because of growing up in Seattle, we do LOVE our coffee here!

Funny - the only thing (kinda like coffee) I will drink is a White Chocolate Mocha with 3 shots of espresso from SEATTLE'S BEST!!!!! I know...not really Seattle, but as close as this girl's gonna get!! :rotfl2: They add so much whipped cream and syrup that you can't taste the coffee taste anymore!! I actually had one earlier today when I ran to Borders to pick up my new Pagemaps 2 book!! I am going to curl up with it when all the kids are in bed...in about a half an hour. And, I'll have a cup of tea as I look through deciding what I am interested in...then, it's back to swapping. I have lots of plans for the night still!!! It's already 8:30 here, so I need maybe 2 cups of tea to get me through!! Wow - what a ramble!!! Anyway, I'm hoping that a couple of you are up and on here to help me through!! I plan on being up and working until 1ish...so 10 or 11 depending on where you are. (I guess 10 for Lisa and 11 for Cheryl??) And, Surina - she may be sleeping until Friday since she couldn't fall asleep last night! Poor girl!! Hope you got there at some point! If you are up tonight, though...join the party! See - the espresso...you can tell that I am not used to all the caffeine...blah blah blah!!!!

[mommy2mrb]

step away from the espresso girl:lmao::lmao::lmao:, I only have one shot, your extreme! I will be back on around 9, after Glee, I didn't see that one last year!

[wdwmickey]

I'll be here. DH is out of town. I'm off to make some tea :)

[mommy2mrb]

I'll be back later, dinner's ready and Megan's "starving"

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

step away from the espresso girl:lmao::lmao::lmao:, I only have one shot, your extreme! I will be back on around 9, after Glee, I didn't see that one last year!

So noted!!! I'm gluing my mouth shut! LOL

I'll be here. DH is out of town. I'm off to make some tea :)

Yay!!! I have to swap also...so I think I may have to be back and forth. I'll be logged on, but check every so often while working!! What else are you working on tonight? Or, are you done working for the day?

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I'll be back later, dinner's ready and Megan's "starving"

Yeah...I "starve" my kids every day!! LOL :rotfl2: If they only knew!!!!

[wdwmickey]

I think I'll finish up the tiki group and then look at my new page maps book, then maybe start the couples/duos stuff. I'll be in & out too :)

[rlovew]

We are still waiting to hear if we should use the chat feature or just a thread- the biggest thing with a thread when a number of people are on it is the posts can get somewhat confusing if you say much in them.

I have done some online crops/scrapbooking parties before including some games on a yahoo group and it was lots of fun.

Yep - that's the kind of thing that I saw...looked like fun!! I have never participated, just read and heard about them!! No problem - we will wait to get direction from you and BAMB!! I'm just glad there are some people interested!!

[wdwmickey]

I'm back from picking DD2 up at play practice. My inking is taking forever!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I had a side-tracking phone call!! So, back to business! Unfortunately, I am coming down from my caffeine high. :sad2: I am hoping to last at least another couple of hours...2 maybe 2 1/2?? So...the inking!!! I am piecing Pooh character heads!!

[rlovew]

While we are waiting to see the best format- what kind of things would you like to do? I have done web scavenger hunts, timed challenges(the challenge starter gives you a list of about 10 different kinds of things to have on hand and then post exactly what you need as the challenge starts), bingo games- using words instead of numbers, or I am open to other ideas.

Rebecca

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

YES YES AND YES!!!!! I will try to come up with some other ones too if I can, but those all sound awesome to me!! Should we come up with a way to do prizes? This may be a great stress reliever during the hustle and bustle in the holiday season!!! (If we can get enough people to set aside the time!!)

[BernardandMissBianca]

of course I'll volunteer!! Gives me an excuse to use my new scrap room. Just need to move one more piece of furniture out but DH needs to be home long enough to help. LOL

I'm a tea girl too. English breakfast with milk and sugar (the traditional way) or chai ;) I can't stand the taste of coffee, good thing I like the way it smells since both DH and DD1 drink coffee in the morning.

Irish breakfast with sugar and milk
Or
Grande solo non fat caramel macchiato from Starbucks, with loads of sugar.

can't do prizes. Against DIS policy.

Or prize is bumping up our page count for the month!!!!

scrapvillage has a virtual scrapbook crop, if someone wants to pour over their multitude of pages.
it did look like they posted their challenge topics ahead of time though

Hey im here but DWTS is gonna be on soon so I'll be back later.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

So since you guys (BAMB and rlovew) are mods and have experience with this, can you give us an overvue? I am interested to see how it really works! I think it will be so exciting!

[BernardandMissBianca]

I dunno. We've never hosted a virtual crop before. Or even had a chat before, so it's uncharted territory.

ETA: but hey I can roll with the best of em'. I'll make it up as I go.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I have confidence in you guys!! You are all good at what you do!! By the way, how is your daughter? Is her arm better?

[BernardandMissBianca]

Awww thanks I thought it was time for a change :)

OMG I gotta watch DWTS I want Bristol Palin to get voted off cause she sucked last night. This show is so hard to watch cause I used to do Compition Ballroom and swing dancing so I've overly critical.

yeah, didn't she say something about wearing modest attire while on the show. I do believe I caught a glimpse of a pretty skimpy outfit. I don't know, I don't watch. Bad ballroom is just so painful to watch.

Give me so you think you can dance!!!

[Disney_rider]

It's for the ABC swap.
I posted a picture. Lemme know what you think.

Ohhhh sweet I'll get it then!!! SWEEETTT

Oh no " BAMB WE GOT COWS OMG"!!! That so reminds me of the scene in twister where the cow goes flying past the truck.

[BernardandMissBianca]

I have confidence in you guys!! You are all good at what you do!! By the way, how is your daughter? Is her arm better?

much better, thanks!
She got her cast off Sept 22 but has to wear a brace when doing activities for 3 - 6 months. She hates the thing but will wear it at school. The type of break it was has a 5% chance of rebreak with the first 6 months, hence the brace. It has metal bars in to to stabilize the arm and wrist.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Ohhhh sweet I'll get it then!!! SWEEETTT

Oh no " BAMB WE GOT COWS OMG"!!! That so reminds me of the scene in twister where the cow goes flying past the truck.

LOL can I chuck these cows across the corn field??

the rattling is getting annoying!!! it sounds like a feed bucket. It could be the donkeys moving it too. they have donkeys to alert the sheep and cows if a coyote is near by.

[BernardandMissBianca]

ok y'all have now moved away from the window and over to the couch to watch Biggest loser.
I need to pull it up on the TV but at the moment I'm enthralled with Mike what's his face from Dirty Jobs. He's working on a walnut farm.

I live in a giant metro area--the thought of cows making that much noise cracks me up :rotfl2:

[BernardandMissBianca]

here's the barn. Yeah it's complete don't ask why they didn't put 2 more walls up.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yeah - no cows for me either...is that western CT?

[BernardandMissBianca]

East of the Connecticut River.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I don't really know CT...only been through on the way to Mass and Rhode Island. I actually never would have guessed that there were cows there at all!!??

I love his puns LOL

[wdwmickey]

I want to visit the country!! I used to spend every summer at my grandparents farm in Punxsutawney (sp?) PA.

[BernardandMissBianca]

In my town, the cows outnumber the people. LOL

In fact DS14 was in science class or something and the teacher said and if you live in Blink you know all about cow tipping and the laws of gravity or something like that. DS was like, Yes that's me!! To which I responded you better not know anything about cow tipping!!! LOL

I can't believe he actually admitted to living in Blink! :laughing:

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ohhhhhh!!! Where the groundhog is from!!!! I don't know how close that is to me?? I don't think very close. You know...I live in the honeymoon capital!!! LOL Home to the 70's style carpeted walls and all!!!! :love::love:

[BernardandMissBianca]

I got some country for ya. But I'm only 3 hours from NYC and 2 hours from Boston so at least it's not the middle of nowhere Montana!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Oh....you've been here??? Was it recent because you know they still have them!!! And, the tall pedestals outside of the rooms to make you think you are with a greek god at the Parthenon!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Yeah...nothing's changed...at those cheesy hotels at least!! It's funny...they charge like $300 and up per night for carpeted walls and champagne tubs and bad entertainment!! Give me the Contemporary!!!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

no kidding right!!!

bow chick a wow wow for 300 bucks a night??!? No way!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yep...crazy!! It was the thing over a decade ago, but c'mon...let's update the image!! Especially for the cost! but, they still get people in there!!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

oh I really should go to sleep but I want to see who gets voted off BL.

[BernardandMissBianca]

and DH is skyping me.

[mommy2mrb]

okay I'm all caught up....

Buffy, used to live by cows in Modesto CA, wasn't too bad unless the wind was going the wrong way...eeewww

Hey, Jim and I stayed at one of those cheesy hotels when we lived in Shawnee on the Delaware...it was eeewww too :rotfl2:

I agree, Bristol NEEDS to GOOOOOOO

[BernardandMissBianca]

no cows where I lived in CA. But yeah the smell is rough, especially in the fall.

At least the mushroom farm closed, that was horrid!! And toxic!!!!!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

LOL Do you remember which hotel it was? Penn Hills? Caesars? Mt. Airy?

[mommy2mrb]

where is CA did you live?

I can't remember, it was way back in 1995...

[BernardandMissBianca]

OK that was cool. The team that won the challenge gave up some of their letters from home to the losing team, especially letters to the moms.

although personally if I were there I would want no contact from home because it would make me want to leave the ranch.

[mommy2mrb]

that was nice of them!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Treasure Island. I was a Coast Guard brat.

loved San Fran though, DH would move there in a heart beat. Me, not so much. I love SF but hated the earth quakes, give me hurricanes, at least I can prep for those.

[BernardandMissBianca]

yes!! I made it past midnight.

I'm officially a Midnight Mama!!!

[mommy2mrb]

we love SF too....luckily we only experienced 3 really small quakes in all the years we will their, the last one was 3 yrs ago, Megan freaked! she was too little with the previous ones...I think it was a 3.5 pretty small

[mommy2mrb]

welcome to the club, though officially I'm not a member yet, only made it till 11 last night

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I so want to go to Cali...Hollywood!!! I am obsessed with everything Marilyn Monroe and really want to go soooo bad! My father in law says it's not a very nice place though. He was a merchant marine and his route was Long Beach, Seattle, another WA port that I can't remember (help me out Lisa!!) and somewhere in Alaska.

[wdwmickey]

welcome to the club, though officially I'm not a member yet, only made it till 11 last night

That's midnight here :) So I think you're official! DH and I had our honeymoon in San Francisco :lovestruc:lovestruc We were in the honeymoon suite,but, ooooh it wasn't so nice. The B & B in Carmel was much, much nicer.

[mommy2mrb]

LA proper is pretty scary, wouldn't go there by myself, Hollywood is okay, if you stay in the ritzy areas...did drive to DLR alot though....other ports around here...Bremerton, Everett...can't think of any more of the top of my head

[wdwmickey]

I so want to go to Cali...Hollywood!!! I am obsessed with everything Marilyn Monroe and really want to go soooo bad! My father in law says it's not a very nice place though. He was a merchant marine and his route was Long Beach, Seattle, another WA port that I can't remember (help me out Lisa!!) and somewhere in Alaska.

I lived just outside of Long Beach for 10 years in Seal Beach. Disneyland will always be my first Diney love! Rachel and I went to DLR in August and she has declared that she prefers it over WDW :scared1:

[mommy2mrb]

Carmel is beautiful, did you go to monteray and the rest of that area?

[mommy2mrb]

we love DLR too....WDW is a "destination trip" for us since we only go every 3 years or so, megan's been to DLR I think 30 times since she was 3, we lived in Thousand Oaks for 18 mos back in 04-05, so we had AP and went at least once every couple of months on Sundays and a few 2-3 trips too

[BernardandMissBianca]

we dropped our car in long beach to have it sent to Hawaii when we got orders there.
Didn't care for Long beach, we high tailed it to LAX to get on the plane.

my one and only trip to DLR was the 25th anniversary. My dad's Coast Guard band was playing in the parade. Of course there is only 1 pic of me and my brother from DL and the stupid river boat was in focus not us, I know where my dad's priorities were. all the other pics were of the band.

[wdwmickey]

Yep--loved it! I used to drive up there by myself at least once a year when I was young & single (and apparently not too bright, an 8 hour drive by myself yikes)

[mommy2mrb]

Sounds like you need to visit DLR again Buffy, to me it has a "small town" vibe and we love CA park too, they are adding a bunch of new stuff

[BernardandMissBianca]

we were going to go for Xmas. But decided to stay home and focus on some bills. I think we will try for some time next year. DH can rack up some more miles and we already have enough points to stay for free at the Marriott or fairfield or something.

[wdwmickey]

Sounds like you need to visit DLR again Buffy, to me it has a "small town" vibe and we love CA park too, they are adding a bunch of new stuff

I second this :) It's much smaller and easier to navigate than WDW. I also love that it's Walt's park! World of Color was simply stunning everyone should see it once.

[BernardandMissBianca]

I can't wait for the new Radiator Springs ride to be finished though.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yeah...not too sure I'll ever make it there??:sad2:

The other port was Cherry Point...had to phone a friend (DH)!!!

[mommy2mrb]

the fairfield is pretty nice....basic, but clean and comfortable, it takes about 15min to walk to the gates

ok so last night I was tired from glueing up my title letters, tonight my hand is killing me from cutting out some ghosts that I had to back w/card stock for my 2" K's...oh scissor cramps...starting to glue all of those together...

we miss seeing WOC, went in April this year...will probably wait to go back after everything is done.

I don't know of Cherry Point

[BernardandMissBianca]

oh I hate scissor cramps!! those are the worst.

Have you seen the new icy hot roll on pain relief, maybe that would help?

[mommy2mrb]

I should get some, by back and shoulders get hurting when I'm scrap/swap too much....on the pain we take on for our scrapbooks

[BernardandMissBianca]

all right. I'm out, my battery is going to die soon.

see y'all tomorrow!!

[wdwmickey]

Rachel has asked if she & I can go in December of 2012. She's saving for it :) Apparently 2012 is going to be a big Disney vacation year for me--an Alaskan cruise and a Christmas trip to DLR. I think construction should be finished by then.

[BernardandMissBianca]

I should get some, by back and shoulders get hurting when I'm scrap/swap too much....on the pain we take on for our scrapbooks

LOL. the SDV event we go to at disney has massage sessions. We need it!!

the things we do for our craft.

[wdwmickey]

all right. I'm out, my battery is going to die soon.

see y'all tomorrow!!

Goodnight :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

Goodnight :)

night!

[mommy2mrb]

Night Buffy, sleep well!

I love xmas in disney, we went once at thanksgiving and once the first part of dec, our dream is to some day be there on xmas....problem is my family would freak that we aren't home for the holidays...they aren't dis freaks like us

[wdwmickey]

Night Buffy, sleep well!

I love xmas in disney, we went once at thanksgiving and once the first part of dec, our dream is to some day be there on xmas....problem is my family would freak that we aren't home for the holidays...they aren't dis freaks like us

We specifically plan to be there on Christmas, the 3 Disney trips we've taken as a family have been the week before through the day after Christmas. That way we don't have to deal with extended family drama. Both sets of parents live within 30 minutes and my mom can't get along with DH's mom, it's hard to be 2 places at once :confused3 So we started going away for the holidays so we can have family time (just the 4 of us).

[wdwmickey]

All right I think I'm gonna call it a night too. I took my sleep meds and I'm ready for bed. Goodnight all.

[mommy2mrb]

that's so nice you can do that...maybe someday we can too...family drama is the worst!!

have to catch the tail end of DWTS...they voted off "Mrs. Brady"...dang bristol's still there, I think her mama is paying people off to vote for her

Night Cheryl, I won't be to far behind....

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Last year we went in the beginning of December...in 06 we were there on X-mas day...it was beautiful...but strange to not be at home on Christmas. And, shorts is not normal for us Northerners on X-mas!! LOL But, so nice that time of year!!!

I agree :) We loved wearing shorts in December, but, hated coming home to a blizzard!

Goodnight

[mommy2mrb]

we lived in west palm beach one winter I think it was 96 the year you all had the big blizzard/ice storm we were in Shawnee that year and the golf course got closed down for the winter...it was very strange getting a xmas tree in 80 degree weather.

[mommy2mrb]

Megan just called out to me.....woke up and needs her mama......see you all tomorrow!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yep...that blizzard was I think in January...I was preggo with my oldest!! Snow was up to my waist!

The worst ice storm was six years ago this coming January...we were out of power for a week! It was seriously the worst experience of my life! My youngest was only 7 months old! Very hard to deal with!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yep...I'm heading to bed....have to be up in 5 1/2 hours...talk to you all soon!!!

[Disney_rider]

I lived just outside of Long Beach for 10 years in Seal Beach. Disneyland will always be my first Diney love! Rachel and I went to DLR in August and she has declared that she prefers it over WDW :scared1:
Heck yeah its better than MK I agree but I'm waaaay Biased I'm a born and bred OC girl and lived behind DLH for a good 10 years of my life. my friends and I used to get our most touristy stuff on and sneak into the DLH hotel pool all the time. I got my first season pass when I was 7-8 and we would go hang out in DL after school. Ahhh the good ol days. Doing homework in Tomorrowland. but to this day I hate and am soooo bored with fireworks. Every night during the summer for most of my life... Uggghhhh I hate them now. I leave DD with Gma and go shopping or use that time as a great time for a Me only bathroom break. ahhhhh the stall to myself.
BTW there are tons of Dairy farms here in AZ and here in the Valley when I lived in Gilbert you could smell them.
Cows smell doesnt bother me but Chickens now thats a different story!!!

[mommy2mrb]

That was it, we left the morning the storm was forcast for FL, it "chased" us all the way down to the VA/NC border where we finally hit rain, Jim was afraid to stop and get stuck, I know the Delaware river got so frozen with all the ice dams, happy I was in warm and sunny FL!
Being w/o power is the worst, we lost power in Charlotte NC I think the same year you did, the transformer blew for our apt complex, so we had to move to a hotel since we had no fireplace.

We typically go Dec 18 to 28, give or take a day.
I love being there at Xmas. I'm sad we aren't going there this year but I have got to get some bills paid off first! LOL

Next year we are going for sure. My god daughters want to go with us and they've never been.

[wdwmickey]

Buffy--we're working on paying things off too! I'll miss Disney Christmas ;)

[Disney_rider]

I wish we could spend X-mas at Disney. Its hard because DD b-day is Dec 9th and I like to separate the her B-day from Christmas.

[mommy2mrb]

I'm back....great pics, can't wait to experience it....did they have scrapbooking stuff available there for the show?

[wdwmickey]

I don't remember seeing any scrapbooking stuff. But, I wasn't really looking for any. I did get an extra program so I had one to save and one to cut apart.

[mommy2mrb]

that's a good idea! I guess no one else is going to play tonight??

I'm sitting here looking over my voter pamphet, boy its going to make me tired, don't understand half of their gibber.

[wdwmickey]

I already voted, I'm sick of the commercials here, good luck making your decisions.

[mommy2mrb]

my DD can't wait to be 16 so we can do the behind the scenes tours...only 5 1/2 more years! she would love to work for Disney, but probably as an entertainer though!

[mommy2mrb]

I already voted, I'm sick of the commercials here, good luck making your decisions.

me too, Megan just plugs her ears now! will be mailing mine off tomorrow am if I can get through the rest....

[wdwmickey]

Sorry--had to take a break to scrub DD1's white shoes for marching band state competition tomorrow. They needed to be "sparkling" and lets just say a 16 year olds idea of sparling and mine are very different :rotfl2:

[mommy2mrb]

I've got to go anyways, Megan's got a belly ache so need to go snuggle my girl!

[wdwmickey]

I hope she feels better! DH just drove up the driveway so I need to go too! Talk to you tomorrow

[Disney_rider]

LOL. the SDV event we go to at disney has massage sessions. We need it!!

the things we do for our craft.

Im in!!!!

Oh hey Cheryl I was a Flaggy in Marching Band all during High School Loved It!!!! Literally Marching band made me the perfectionist I am today well that and endless hours of worshiping Martha Stewart.

[mommy2mrb]

Megan was okay, gave her some kids pepto and rubbed her tummy, she thought she felt like getting sick...never a good thing while in bed :scared1: hate that :laundy: she slept all night, unfortunately I didn't been awake since 3...didn't take my little pill just in case she got sick during the night.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Hey guys!!! I was MIA all day yesterday because........................................... ......



I BECAME AN AUNT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! :cool1::banana::love:

I am soooo excited and "HAD" to be at the hospital!! On :cloud9:!!!!! Couldn't even think straight all day yesterday! So, tonight I will be in...since DH wants to watch the Yankees game.

[wdwmickey]

Congrats Erin!!! :) :) :)

Surina--DD was a perfectionist before marching band, now she's a super perfectionist (just like her mom) ;)

Lisa--glad Megan's feeling better, sorry you didn't sleep well.

[BernardandMissBianca]

so I petered out on you guys last night.
We were exhausted from the big meet yesterday. The boys came in, did homework and went to bed without any fuss so I know they were beat!

Then DH came home, there was a huge, accident on 95 last night so he was about 3 hours late getting home. The whole highway was closed and they blocked all the exit ramps to keep traffic from taking back roads. Poor guy was on fumes before he could break away to get gas.

I decided to turn in early and read, I'm trying to finish my book at it's taken me weeks to get through it when I can usually pop one off in about 2 days.

I'll probably be around tonight. DH is home so he can have some kid duty for a change.

Oh and Rebecca and I haven' heard back from the web masters so I guess our best bet for now is to just start a thread in the scrap forum.
We should post a poll as to which day would be the best and what weekend to choose.

[mommy2mrb]

have fun tonight!! I see ya next week!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yay!!!! I'm glad you got to talk to DH! How is he? Missing his bride? I get really scared from horrors, but love them. LOL When I go to bed, I'll shut off the lights and run up the stairs...then jump (literally) from the door of my room into my bed, pull the covers way up over my head and hide til morning!! Crazy!

Yeah your nuts...
He's ok.... He's regretting taking the job. Im trying to make him feel better. We talk everyday for now because he's in Kuwait But He'll be in Afghanistan soon and then IDK when we will talk much. As soon as he gets to his base he'll get his laptop and then we can skype. IF they have internet... I hate If's they suck.

[rlovew]

Glad you were able to talk with your DH. I too can't watch horror movies- I can't even watch the spoofs of horror movies.

Rebecca

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yeah...I love them...but they really scare me...for whatever reason, I like being scared??? :confused3 LOL We all have our quirks I guess!!

What exactly is he doing with the military? My cousin is in the Air Force and was in Afghanistan...but now in Germany. He has actually been in Germany for about 5 1/2 years now (with a few months here and there that he was active somewhere else.) He says he wants to take up permanent residence there.

[wdwmickey]

Sorry, I flaked last night. Ihad a horrible migraine (in fact I woke up to it this morning) and DH made me take pain meds and got to bed. I think I need some more meds and back to bed this morning too!

Surina soooo happy you got totalk to DH :)

Erin--I hate horror movies.

[mommy2mrb]

sorry I missed last night too....wind is giving me a head ache and stuffy nose...

Surina happy you get to talk to paul so much, it must give you comfort...keeping him in our prayers.
Not a horror film lover either!
probably won't be on tonight, trying to catch up on the sleep I missed over the weekend and feeling pretty draggy this morning!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

OK guys...maybe tomorrow night!!!

Cheryl - hope your head feels better!!! I may or may not be up again tonight...maybe a Lifetime movie night!!!

[wdwmickey]

Is anyone cropping tonight??? I'm working on some swap stuff :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

[wdwmickey]

Those are so creative & cute :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

thanks.
The M&M was a last minute substitute. My graveyard didn't turn out so hot.

It's our 12th annual pumpkin contest at school, the kids just love it.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I was tired and bailed last night...the bed was calling my name! I got 7 hours of sleep last night...I don't know the last time that happened??!!!!! Feels great! Anyway, I plan to be up tonight...if anyone else is??!!

[mommy2mrb]

sorry I flaked too, bed at 9:00! probably won't be on tonight either, my body is feeling the need for sleep, took a 1 1/2 nap yesterday too! don't know if getting a cold or what!

[wdwmickey]

I went to bed shortly after 9 too. We must all need some rest ;) Stayed up late too many nights in a row last week :upsidedow

[wdwmickey]

Anyone up tonight???? I'll be up for a little while longer.

[Disney_rider]

Sorry I've been absent the last couple of nights.
I'm having the worst time with DD she has and is a total and utter brat right now. And I really want to ask my mom to move out of my house.
I feel she under-minds me and DD acts like she doesn't have to mind me or do what i tell her I really think my mom tells her she doesn't have to do what I say.. It was a physical fight to get her to put PJ's on tonight.I'm at the end of my rope and I'm done.
Sorry for venting but I cant and don't want to deal with this right now.

Oh Surina, I'm so sorry your DD is being such a pill :( Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

[mommy2mrb]

Sorry to hear about issues with Day and your mom! that sucks big time!
maybe Day is acting up because daddy's not home and she doesn't know how to voice her feelings....Megan's school counselor had her draw pictures when Jim was missing, maybe that would help...
as far as your mom goes ??? clear the air, my mom and I had a heart to heart back in may and got rid of a bunch of issues we have had over the years and things that had happend when Jim died.... I can honestly say we are better friends today!
call me if you want to talk tonight!

[Disney_rider]

OMG seriously what next???!!!
Ok so yesterday I went and used my coupons for Joanns and Mich's. I Finally got the "Rock Princess" Cricut Cart and the summer vacation Limited Edition Cart. and then went over to Mich's to get my Crop a dial 2 storage case with my other coupon. I was in the store for 30mins MAX I come out and some friggn loser broke into my truck and took my Iphone that I fogot on the charger, my Garmin and MY CRICUT CARTS!!!! REALLY!!???
I'm still pretty mad about this but now Im out $60 and no new carts :sad1:
Im mad cause I cant get an Iphone for a while the garmin is no biggy and insurance will cover the rest. But I've wanted Rock Princess for so long.
I sat down and had a good cry last night I think with Paul being gone and now this its just all coming down on me.
So Ive decided to take a vacation I booked 4 days at DLH in December I gotta get out of this town for a bit.I'm taking DD and my mom I think we are all sick and tired so we need a change of scenery.

[wdwmickey]

:hug: Surina that's awful!!! I'm so very sorry :( At least Christmas at Disney will give you something positive to focus on :) Let me know if there's anything I can do to help :hug:

[mommy2mrb]

I'm so sorry Surina....what a jerk! hopefully he will get some bad karma....
you deserve some fun and magic, here if you need me!

[rlovew]

Surina- I am so sorry to hear you are having a bad time! I hope everything gets better soon.

Rebecca

[BernardandMissBianca]

I feel like such a slacker. I've been falling asleep on the couch most nights around 10 - 11. UGH!!!

[mommy2mrb]

that's okay....I didn't think we were going to do this except on the first friday nights anyways.....will try to stop by tonight

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'll try to swing by but my I won't be crafting, I'll be cleaning my scrap room.

[mommy2mrb]

anyone going to "play tonight"? I'm working on some xmas cards....

[Disney_rider]

I'm up :)

[mommy2mrb]

[Disney_rider]

hope your feeling better this morning...I needed to go to bed since I was up at 4 yesterday.

[wdwmickey]

I'll be back to play next week when Rachel is finished with her play (I'm exhausted, being a parent helper every night ;))

[Disney_rider]

Wow I think if you take all the medicine you buy at one time and just have a great night sleep it all works. I feel way better and I'm starving!!! LOL
Got a wake-up call from Paul. he's putting in for a transfer to a more established base. The one he's at is brand new and nothing is set so he's forced to eat MRE's (military gross food in a bag) because his boss doesnt let them go to lunch or dinner in time to get chow hall.
He said he's working 13 hour days. I hate this I fee; so bad that he even had to go back. There's just no jobs here....Double edge sword i guess.

I did get my duos swap done last night/morning LOL
Now I'm starting on the Holiday swap, I feel I'm behind.....:confused3

[mommy2mrb]

Happy that you heard from Paul, hope he can get transferred soon, yuck in the food....glad your feeling better and that you got so much swap stuff done...have a good rest of the weekend and get some more rest!

[Disney_rider]

Hey all i just wanted to let you all know I'll be off for the next week or so.
my friend Giovanni (Gio) died in a horrific motorcycle crash.
It was just him the bike lost traction and his bike hit a wall and he hit a road caution sign.
I knew him for over 10 years.I will be working on stuff off and on but personally im not feeling very crafty.
Just give me some time I'll be back :thumbsup2

[MazdaUK]

:hug: I am so sorry for your loss. Don't worry about crafting (unless it helps you!) just do stuff you need to to keep you and DD well. It must have been a terrible shock, and you need time to adjust.:grouphug: And please take extra care yourself when on two wheels!! I used to be :scared1: every time DH was out on his bike.

[wdwmickey]

Oh Surina I'm so sorry for your loss :grouphug:

[mommy2mrb]

:hug:Oh Surina, I am so sorry about your friend, do whatever you need to help you through this :hug:

[wdwmickey]

Anybody up tonight? I'm too excited to sleep--paid the deposit for our cruise this afternoon :banana: I'm working on my mom's Christmas gift and finishing up the duos swap.

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm here but I'm not staying. I'm skyping DH then headed to bed. I'm trying to shake a cold but the migraines won't stop. they go from a constant dull ache to full blown. Figures as much, I'm either sick or we have crappy weather on my birthday. It looks like sick wins this year. :headache:

[wdwmickey]

Buffy--hope you feel better soon ;) I know exactly what you're saying about migraines--I always have a headache (just depends how severe) DH just says hows your pain (meaning on a scale of 1-10) :rotfl: and he steers clear if the number is higher than 7!

[Disney_rider]

Awww Buffers I feel you!!! I hate my Migraines. I'm still waiting for my DH to get his Laptop so we can start skyping.
I was so sick from last Monday til this sunday I felt like I was gonna die. I knew it was from the memorial ride and then standing outside at the memorial at my friends moms house I think I caught a chill and it got in me.
I hope you have a Happy Birthday though maybe a bottle of wine and cold meds will help a little :thumbsup2

[BernardandMissBianca]

DH comes home tomorrow so I'm hoping he'll pamper me. I doubt it but one can wish right?!?! LOL

Head is a little better tonight but now I've started coughing again. I'm like on the verge of sick which I think is worse then actually being sick. I feel just bad enough to be blech, but not enough to stay in bed.

We have a memorial rally with the mini's Dec 12 but thankfully it's in cars not bikes. I hope we can go. It's the same day as my fathers family party. And every time we go it snows. If it snows DH won't take the mini because MA puts way to much salt on the road. I hope we can get to both though. we missed the funeral because DH was in DC and we haven't been to the family party in a few years because we've been headed to WDW.

[mommy2mrb]

Sorry to hear your not feeling well Buffy, hope you can get some good sleep tonight and are better in the morning!
I get migrains too, they suck BIG time....I found using ice packs really help me, one at the base of my neck and one where ever the pain is.

[Disney_rider]

Wow this thread is dead

[mommy2mrb]

I thought we were only going to do this on the first friday's of the month??

Surina, wow only 2 more days until your trip :banana: have a wonderful time!!
