Girls-Only Trip ~ Old planning thread, see first post for new link

[toocherie]

Hello ladies.

I have not had a good week.

Yesterday ex-BF was stalking my office--he did a drive by . . . .slowly . . . . just as I walked out for lunch so I saw him. I don't think he saw me however. Yuck.

Then today has been a madhouse--a last minute rush to get a document signed by tomorrow and conveniently the other other side's assistant leaves at 11 a,.m. our time (he's on east coast) and he doesn't know how to use his computer. Then my client was only available to sign at 3:30 p.m. our time. So it was a mad rush to get it done (but we did).

THEN . . . .Bella chewed through my computer monitor cord this morning. Staples didn't have a replacement--I guess I will have to order one. THEN she chewed through the cord of my optical device this afternoon!!!! Which means that neither my mouse or keyboard work! So now I am using the ones off my extra computer (and I hate the keyboard).

It's been a day!

Edited to Add: Oh yeah--and the house across the street was burglarized yesterday. I had planned to leave Bella home today because I knew it was going to be a crazy work day, but brought her because I didn't want the burglars to get her. Remind me to go with my gut!

Hello eveyone!!

I hope you all received your

Boo's

from me. At first I was just going to send a few, but I couldn't just pick a few, so I sent them to everyone on our list of attendies. So if you did not get one from me, you should have.

Just thought I'd let you know that.

Hi Melody! I had gotten Boo'd by someone from the Single's Thread so I started Booing too but then I saw your Boo's and didn't want to overdue it for everyone so that is why I only sent out a few! The Boo's are fun, aren't they? I am so ready for Halloween time!

Ugh...I just hate days like that! Ex boyfriends, they need to get a life - they are ex's for a reason! I left the state and got rid of one, it was such a relief! I hope your evening is better...have a glass of wine in the nice cool A/C. 'Bad Bella', oh but she's so cute!

I've been whinning about the heat all day and I like heat but not this heat, high 80's low 90's are more my kind of heat.

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Melody, that was sooo sweet!

I only have a second but read Cheryl's Very Bad Week - I'm so sorry. Have you tried Bitter Apple for the cords? At the pet store. You need to use something to train her not to chew these. They can be dangerous for her.

Later....

 

[sahbushka]

You'll be at Disneyland soon!

You know, the thing I am looking forward to the most is getting to be with my ds. I miss spending time with him when I don't have to be worrying about laundry or housework!

What kind of monitor cord is it? We have lots of extra cords laying around here! As well as keyboards and mouses, or mice, whichever you prefer!

Ugghhh. I am so sorry, Cheryl.
Vicki is right, ex'es are ex'es for a reason, get over it and on with your pathetic life! And Miss Bella is out of control! Apparently she is on a chewing rampage. I hope things get much better real soon.

 

[BillyFan]

I know someone you mentioned going to expo D23..

http://d23.disney.go.com/expo/expo-schedule.html

You're going to have a lot fun!

It's true. And she is.

I just got forced out for a double at work! My ds is not happy with me. I had a double last night too....I am getting tired! DH better find a job soon!

Sarah

Girl, you are always working? You deserve that time off, and they better give it to you!

I got it, Melody! But I just have not had time to post it yet. Thanks though. It did make me smile!

Hey girls. I waited for my boss to leave the office today so I could sneak on the Dis and when she left I got super busy. Of course.

Yesterday my Mom called the storage place and the lady tried to start an argument with my Mom over the phone. She kept telling to her (in a raised voice) that she didn't want to do it and she had no choice. And how terrible she felt and if we would have answered her letters this would have never happened. She told my Mom some other stuff too, but I don't remember now. My Mom said she stopped her mid sentence and told her "I just want what I requested from you ASAP, I did not call to argue with you" and the lady got all flustered and said okay and hung up. She faxed over the contract my parents signed, 2 letters she sent us (both dated sometime in July) and a payment history. Well the last time my parents made a full payment was May, my Mom made a half a payment in June (with the same lady's okay, go figure) and that's when she went on Monday to pay the rest of June and all of July. Even though my parents did not make their payments on time, I really feel that the storage place should have made MORE of an effort to get a hold of us. Oh and get this. Guess how much they got for ALL of our stuff?? $280!! I about FLIPPED (okay I did) when I saw that.

My Mom was still really upset about it yesterday, she's doing much better now. I told her not to worry, everything can be replaced. We're very lucky none of that was personal, sentimental stuff. We couldn't keep my grandparent's couches forever anyways. You live and learn, I guess.

Thank you all ladies for all your wonderful support. You all have no idea how much better you made me feel.

On another note, it's SO HOT! And I just ate 6 pieces of pineapple pizza. YUM!

Courtney... Cheryl gave you some good information.. be proactive ... in regards to reactionary measures.. go look at some of the antique stores for your grandparents couches.. and your parents dresser.. it sounds wrong even typing it.. yet perhaps you might can buy one piece back for
sentimental sake. I am sorry this happened to your family

Dawn, you are such a sweetheart. That is a wonderful idea about antique stores and such. With how cheap they sold everything, I wouldn't be surprised if people were trying to resell any of that for a profit.

Awe Courtney I am soooo sorry to hear this happened to your family! When I was reading your heartbreaking story and (you are right it is only material stuff but it was your families stuff and it still holds value to you all, not fair of them at all) I was thinking…oh Cheryl any advice for them and then I read her comments. I hope you can get some recourse! I also just want to get in my car and drive to Camarillo and take you to lunch but then my office phone rang and I thought ‘oh yes, I have to work to pay my bills’! If I had some extra hours at lunch I would be there in a flash.

Oh Vicki, thank you! You're so sweet about thinking of me to wan to come to Camarillo! Just the thought of it is so sweet of you.

Courtney- I don't know how I missed this yesterday, but that is just awful. How can people be so MEAN & inconsiderate . Your parents should definitely pursue the issue since they never received any warnings.

Hi Katie! I'm sorry about what happened to your car. What a drag. Thank you for the nice thoughts.

I read this last night but was unable to comment via my phone. I'm SO sorry this happened. It sounds UBER fishy and you should definitely DEMAND the copies of the "official papers" they sent your parents. If they don't have any, I would definitely take them to court. It's likely they have done this to many other people

Thank you, Cristabel.

Ew, what a creep. Be safe, Cheryl.

My chihuahua chewed through my laptop charger cord when she was a puppy. Crazy dogs will eat anything. Hope you get a replacement for them soon.

 

[21yankees]

I have been a bit busy this week and was just able to catch up.

Kate sorry about your car.

Kelly I really hope you're feeling better soon

Courtney I am so sorry your family is going through all of this

Tina that lady sounds horrible and I'm sorry that you have to deal with her every week.

Cherly that is creepy about the ex, I hope it doesn't continue. Also our puppy is/was a chewer but he prefers wood objects for some reason like our dining room chairs and the door frames in particular.

Here's some pixie dust Sarah in hopes you get the time off in Feb/Mar you really deserve it and some more for your dh's interview.

All those that are happy this week is almost over please raise your hand

With Josh on his vacation I'm at home with the kids and enjoying our time together. Poor Josh caught some illness from his mom and brother and is not doing well. Keep him in your thoughts please and hope that he gets better soon so he can enjoy his vacation with his family.

The last 2 nights I've been at the elementary school for back to school night. This is the first time since Selena was in kindergarden that I was able to go to back to school night. I enjoyed being able to meet their teachers and see their classrooms.

This evening I had a babysitter watch the kids so I could attend an Airman Leadership Graduation. One of my Airmen was graduating. The dinner was nice and the guest speaker was funny, eloquent, and motivational.

So after 3 busy nights in a row I'm looking forward to not doing anything tomorrow night accept put my feet up.

Take care, talk to you all this weekend.

I forgot on my previous post to say to all of the new people on the thread. I hope you are all able to come on this upcoming trip.

I am so ready for Halloween time!

ME TOO!!!

ME!




Night ladies!

 

[toocherie]

Courtney--you not only need to get the letters you need to get proof of service from them. Just because they can produce letters doesn't mean they were ever sent. What address were they sent to?

Poor Josh caught some illness from his mom and brother and is not doing well.

And the week is going out on a HOT note here in SoCal... triple digits... Yes, something is really going around - I hope Josh feels better soon. My cold is down to an awful deep wet cough (okay, tmi) but otherwise I can now do stuff again. Saw Inglorious Basterds which I loved.

Steph, are you still having surgery in Sept?

He's a sweetie/cutie and I know you all will have a great time!! I'm looking forward to seeing you on that Sat!

How is it that you Vicki, can post the cute Halloween Mickey, but almost everyone else cannot? It's showing up as an X in everyone else's post.

Oh, interesting Linda, how you also got duplicates. Good point about making sure we aren't charged twice! Let me know what you find out.

Sarah, I wish I had the wherewithall to think of taking a picture of the shirt! Darn. Well, as soon as I get it, I'll take a pic. How do I set up a photo site so I can post pics here? What do you guys use?

I can't believe the heat here this week. Josh is in NY near Syracuse and the high today was 73 degrees.

I hope you're feeling better.

Everyone I know that has seen that movie said it was good. Looks like I'll need to put it in my netflix when it's released on dvd (many months from now )

Edited to add that I'm having my ankle surgery in 13 days.

Steph

 

[jordansmomma]

Hi lovely ladies!

I hope everyone is doing better this wk.
I still have this pesky cough.....pretty soon I am going to name it if it doesn't leave.

I have played farm girl this wk in real life. ugh...it is soooooo boring....
Really it is!!! Jordan is having a great time. So far he had made $400

Why are there only cute girls at the elevators? Where are the cute boys??
Oh ya....they are the ones driving and whatnot......

Is it time to go yet??

 

[disney-super-mom]

Courtney--you not only need to get the letters you need to get proof of service from them. Just because they can produce letters doesn't mean they were ever sent. What address were they sent to?

Exactly. And didn't the lady say that they sent your parents certified letters? Where are the receipts? Plus, I thought that someone who receives a certified letter has to sign for it.

Oh man! You have had a tough week


It seems like bad things are happening to all of us. My car is on the fritz, it still moves but I'm afraid it's going to collapse on me any minute. The spedometer goes up and down like it's possessed, the "D4" light is flashing and my "Check Engine" light goes on and off frequently. We took it to our family mechanic and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's 15 years old, that's what's wrong!

I got lost on my way home tonight so I was driving around Anaheim trying to get back to the dorms. It was horrible! I ended up at Beach Blvd and Ball Rd. I finally stopped and called my dad for directions. Ugh! I hate not having constant internet on my phone so I can use the google maps app I downloaded. It's great when I'm at a Starbucks or library but because it only has wifi I can't use it on the run. I'm home now and I have my new laptop (yay!) and my new iPod (yay!).

After everything everyone has been going through, I think we are in all desperate need of this October mini meet!
