Hi Lara,
Nice to meet you. It is wonderful when a wife makes her husband "pleased".
Of course my opinion is coming from the prospective of a husband.

I like the way you think Mike

Hi Lara!!!! Nice to meet you

Hi Terrie, Nice to meet you as well.

 

[laradenise]

Howdy Lara! Pleased to make your acquaintance! It is nice to know that I am not the only spouse who has difficulty getting a spouse to post something!

Thanks for the great welcome. I tend to read more than post.

Nancy

Hi Nancy,

I had to post this quick while Indiana is in the "lead".
I think clayfolks is from Illinois, which would put the Midwest in a tie with the Northeast, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, so I'll wait.

Beautiful dogs!!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Hi Sue!
Great to meet you. Yes, my husband will be very pleased that I have finally posted something.

Hiya Lara! Welcome to the thread!!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Lets be very clear here, WALLY did not gain any weight during the Food and Wine Festival.... Very Clear !!!![/SIZE]

I knew it! Wally gaining weight was just too good to be true!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Yep, based on the Jet Stream over the nation, I was afraid it was cooler for you.

But that's what we like about living up north ... all four seasons ... makes you appreciate the each season, and a trip down south during the winter is a real treat.

I've often wondered about working for Disney. I wonder if some of the magic would be lost?

It'll be 39 degrees tonight. Guess I'm not sleeping with the window open tonight!

I don't know if the magic would be lost working for Disney. My most favorite Disney memory is when I was given a set of two Tink pins by a CM who stopped us as we were entering Fronteirland. It was one to keep and one to share. We found the perfect little girl to share it with. She was so excited. It was awesome being given the opportunity to share a little magic!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Congratulations Karen!

Sadly all of my posts are on this thread.

Thanks!

 

[DizDragonfly]

They are very excited to meet you and will undoubted welcome you with open arms.

It worked!!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Today was PURE BLISS for me!

That sounds awesome!! Maybe I'll throw some money at my guys soon and tell them to get out of the house for at least half the day.

 

[DizDragonfly]

Sometimes it's very sad to be one of just a couple of the west coasters.

Beautiful dogs!!

Thank you

Yeah, no dice. He probably just got on the scale with shoes on instead of off

Yikes!!!! That is cold. What a sweet memory! I would love to work for Disney but probably not in the parks. I to would worry about losing the magic. Most of the castmembers I've spoken too say they don't lose the magic.

Aawww... sorry At least your not in Australia, then you'd be a whole day off

Hi John - thanks for keeping all of this straight. Yes, I will be the informal "hostess" of the Sunrise Coffee Club and will make buttons for anyone who wants to joins me for coffee (or other beverages) in the wee hours of the morning! When we get a little closer, I'll take a rough count of how many might stop by so that I will have enough buttons! Please give me a too.

Thanks again!!

Good Morning fellow cruisers!

It's going to be a very nice day here in Jersey - and it's Friday .

Hopefully it will be a quiet weekend - I have had enough excitement lately.

I heard from my son in Afghanistan this past week (my reason for not being very social this week or so). He has decided to extend his work there for another 6 months - so needless to say, I'm very conflicted with my feelings again. I'm very worried because things seem to be heating up over there - and besides that's what us mothers get to do - worry!!! But when he tells me that he wants to stay and finish the job he has started and train the new guys that will be coming in December, I'm so proud of him that I could bust! So my emotional roller coaster will now continue until sometime in June - oh my that sounds so very far away.

Please send a little our way! I really appreciate how supportive everyone has been.

Have a great weekend everyone! I have to work, but will try to pop in from time to time to say hi.

Look at the bright side, you are ahead for tomorrow and don't have to learn anything new Onomatopoeias are words that imitate the sound they represent, like, oink oink, meow meow, vroom vroom, quack quack

IM GOING TO TRY TO USE THAT WORD IN A SENTENCE.

Was that a ONOMATOPOEIAS word TERRIE used when she spotted the SHARK? EEEEEEEEEEK! EEEEEEEEEEK!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME LARA!!!!!
