Good morning everyone

 

[MinnMick01]

Good Evening everyone.
Cold, windy, and rainy here in Central California today.
DD came home sick today, and when I got home took her temp and it was 102. Hoping it doesn't run through the house for christmas.

Oh and Robin like I promised the goodies started at work today, brownie, chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles. Not even going to get on that scale until after christmas.

Becky

Hope your daughter feels better soon, I will keep my fingers crossed that the rest of the family does not get it for Christmas.

Hi Nancy, Hi Carrie

Sorry Nancy - no idea

 

[Karen Mouse]

Walt and Di / Paige and Rob -

thank you both for your lovely xmas cards

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

Seems like everyone is busy with concerts/programs, etc. Us too - Thomas had his daycare/preschool Christmas program last night. It was SO cute! He actually sang this year too! Tonight we're baking cookies and wrapping gifts!

Becky - I hope your daughter feels better soon!

Andy - I hadn't watched Biggest Loser yet! That's ok, I've been really annoyed this season. I really did not like any members of the black team, so when it was all of them in the finals, I didn't care as much. My personal fave was Kae - she had such a good spirit and attitude! There should be a "congeniality award" on that show - she would have won it!

Well, off to go do some work...I'll stop by later.

Karen, loved your pics.........especially your DS pirate pic with him wearing his sneakers, that was cute!!!

OK, I'm off for a while...........going to pick up my paycheck, then taking Hazel out for some lunch. We also have a few other errands to run before it's time to pick Angelina up from school.

Sorry Jen, I guess I should have added "Spolier" in the title(just went back and did that) about the Biggest Loser results post, but it was so early in the morning, and my head was still in bit of a fog....... Actually, I wanted Kaye to win, but when she was voted off, I started pulling for Bill.

Will see y'all later......

That's ok, I was sort of giving you a bad time - I'm not mad

Actually, now that I know who won, I can watch it in fast-forward! Just zoom through to see how they all look now, and delete from the DVR.

I was rooting for Kae, then Nicole, then Neil just 'cuz I didn't like the black team members that were left. Bill worked really hard though, so that's ok...

I think the couples version could be interesting...I 'm looking forward to that one.

Ok, back to work...

General question for anyone....
Does anyone know the name of a less expensive version of Photoshop? Seems like my family is scrambling now to buy me a Christmas gift and they are all too late in getting anything on my list. PROCRASTINATORS!!!

Nancy - I asked Rick and he advised Paintshop Pro 8 by COREL. Between $15-35. The more expensive version comes with the book.

and heres my little shepherd

Cute shepherd Karen and I love the photos.

We will stay near DL for Thur and Fri night and then one of the 3 hotels near the port (in San Pedro). I think the Best Western is the cheapest. I haven't picked one yet.

We're staying the Disneyland Hotel Friday and Saturday and hope to get Disney transport down to the port on Sunday morning. Mini meet on Friday or Saturday night anyone?

 

[GOS]

An FO? or will someone BOB me?

 

[Verandah Man]

Back home from lunch and from running our errands. We stopped at Old Country Buffet and walked in minutes before a bus load of senior citizens arrived. I flet like I should have been with their group since I had my cane with me today........ I knew we would be doing a lot of walking in the mall, so I took my cane for support. There are days I feel like I could use my cane at work, but I don't think that would look very good me walking around reading meters and holding on to a cane, oh well.......

The township gave us our bi-week pay a little early this year, we were scheduled to receive it on 1/2/08. I took some of those extra $$ and just applied it to the 10/24/09 cruise. I'm happy to say, our cruise is now 1/2 paid for!!!

Hazel and I also bought Angelina a couple more "surprise" gift for Christmas. These were things that weren't on her list that we knew she would flip over once she opens them. No, my kid doesn't get spoiled, not one little bit........ Hazel and I also picked up a couple things for each other as well, I got new work boots for myself, oh joy!!!

Well, I've got some bills that need my attention, so I had better get off here and take care of them. Our car insurance is due 12/24, what a nice time to have to pay that bill.........

Hey Jen, are there any other shows I can spoil the ending for you???

It would have to be Friday for us since we will not be at DL on Saturday (I won't go near that park on a weekend day). We are planning on driving south and doing something in the San Diego area.

What rate did you get for the DL Hotel? We stayed there once and Suz loved it. We had a rate for Paradise Pier in the summer of 2006 for only $135. Hoping something like that comes up again.

The first hour (or so) they brought back the 14 people who were voted off leading up to the Final 4, and the person with the highest weight loss percentage won $100,000 that went to Jim with just over 50% of total weight loss, he was one of the twins that were on the show. The second hour the Final 4 were brought back for their weigh-in, and Bill, with a little over 49% total weight loss, the other twin, was The Biggest Loser and won the $250,000. Bill, beat out Julie, by just 5 pounds for the win. http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser

The new season starts on January 1, 2008 with it being ten couples on the show.

Pooh, I really wanted a girl to win and was rooting for Julie

Becky - I hope your daughter feels better soon!

Thanks girls, she is doing better, went and got her some won ton soup which is her favorite. She needs to go to school though she is missing her finals.

First off you aren't even close to being old. Second once you get your cruise paid off you are more than welcome to start working on mine Still getting this summers paid off.

We're staying at the Grand Californian, we will be coming on early on Friday and hitting the parks both days. Great thing about not bringing the kids the crowds don't matter too much. So I am up for either day. Heather we will be taking the Disney transportation as well, it was $30 pp one way

I believe that the program you are referring to is Photoshop Elements. It has many of the best aspects of Photoshop with an user friendly interface. I use it and it's pretty good.

I didn't explain myself very well I'm afraid, I didn't mean I felt old like them, it was just the fact that most of the seniors came in using canes and walkers, and since I had my cane with me, I felt I kind of fit into their group..............


After I get the 2009 cruise paid off, I want to start saving so we can cruise on one of the "new" DCL ships in 2011!!! The 2011 cruise will be to celebrate my baby's 21st birthday, did I really just type that? 21?

My baby will be graduating in 2011 and she keeps going back and forth on what she wants to do. Depending on when and how much and if they do one I would love to sail the first cruise on her. If not I guess we will wait for ship 2 to come out in 2012
