Hazel calls me from the grocery store this afternoon, "Hon, I was going to make Ham and Cabbage for dinner, but the store doesn't have any ham just Corn Beef." My reply, "Well, today is St. Patty's Day and Corn Beef is a big seller for St. Patty's Day." Hazel's reply, "Really, I didn't know that."

So, we had baked chicken with thousand island dressing, some kind of rice-a-roni, and green beans. Well, at least she got some green in there with the green beans..............

Now, you see what I have to put up with.............

That, and a Stinky Teen who is not getting her way today and is sulking in her bedroom, I am sooooooooooo ready to run away from home...............

Hi Karen!

Or should I say, Hi Karen!

Hi there Jen - well done on your scrap booking - now you've organised it it wont take so long. I think thats always the worst part. Post some piccies of your pages when you've done some more?

I dont scrap book... I just take too many photos - I have bookcases full of photo albums and hundreds more photos that never made it into an album.

Hi Heather!

Hiya Jen...good to here you got your basement sorted out.

 

[millerpjm]

Jen...got my scrapbook finished the other weekend.

Awesome!

I wish I would have gotten started sooner, but that's ok. If I have to spend the time on my scrapbook for 2007, then I won't go crazy yet making t-shirts, FE's, door signs 19 months in advance!

I did make a small, 40 page book for Thomas when we got home - he had that before Christmas. And I had put some of the photos in an album just to show people until I got my scrapbook done.

I have WAY too many photos though...it's going to take me forever to scrap them all!

In Birmingham city centre they always have a huge St Patricks day parade etc - apparantly its the third largest in the world! It was on Sunday.

2 young guys got stabbed in a fight

I dont go anywhere near the city on that day - its just crazy drunk irish people everywhere

we were "frequent virgins" for years....

Is this even possible???

I know what you mean about too many photos. I save the ones I don't use..just in case.

Found out yesterday I might be able to get 5% off my xmas holiday with Virgin - we were "frequent virgins" foryears allowing us 10% off but they stopped it, however, someone told me they still got it so I'm going to call tomorrow and check... 5% back would be a nice - it would pay for the park passes into Universal!

Something in this post made me giggle....

We're Frequent Virgins too...Andy. We hoped to bag free Upper Class return tickets in September..but with the school holidays just ending there were none on offer. Saving our miles for 2009.

Mind you we did get one free flight going out though....so some good news and we both earn miles on the return journey.

I know what you mean about too many photos. I save the ones I don't use..just in case.

I do too....I also don't delete photos off my camera. They don't all get printed, but they do all get saved to the computer and burned on a CD for posterity...

I think I'm down to about 500 I need to scrap....from over 700....

Thanks Jen!!! Five year olds I can deal with, stinky teens, not so much.......

I love corn beef... I make a mean cornbeef pie!

chop up finely some onions and potatoes and a tin of cornbeef in a processor, crumble in an oxo cube (do you have that over there?) mix it all together and plop into a pastry case. pastry lattice on top and bake - its that easy and tastes delicious! It was the first thing we made at school in my first cookery lesson and I still make it now

We're Frequent Virgins too...

Oh my, it's spreading.............where is Jeff when you need him.............

I always end up with at least 4 photos per page. I'm not one of those scrappers with only one photo per page with loads of journalling round them.

you'll find that a lot of us British are frequent virgins

Not doing so bad...seeing as it's a Monday. No..we don't celebrate Paddy's day over here in the UK. Some of my colleagues have actually gone over to Ireland to celebrate. No doubt they will return with super hangovers.

I have been keeping an eye on the DS - only so that I pick up any advance information. Interesting info on dinner though. Hopefully DCL will confirm things pretty soon. We don't have any cabin number yet. Patience..I hear you say.

Question for you all (Jeff, Chris & Becky) - fancy a evening in Palos?

We will be going to Palo, so we'd be up for it. Not sure what night though. I did see something on the DS about them going on the PV night. Maybe we should pick a night that we are pretty certain there isn't a theme night.

What is going on with the dining? You mentioned some interesting info.

As for room numbers, at what point did the WB Repo get theirs? I've had mine since Day 1. I got on early enough to select my room. Hopefully you'll get yours soon.
