I broke mine on Easter morning falling on the steps. I was so upset because I couldn't wear my new Easter shoes! I had to wear a flip flop. I was a teenager...those things are very important to a girl that age! Now it seems so silly. I didn't want to go to church because I couldn't wear my matching shoes!!!!

Wow, is mine the only "intact" little toe?

Knock wood!

Ummmm, time limits. Isn't that what our fearless leaders promise too?? j/k

Her reaction really was over the top. She doesn't have to be the president to contribute and give input. I hope you don't have a bad time with her. Maybe the pastor needs to have a little talk with her about it i she keeps it up.

Term limits is one of the things we want to try and put into our bilaws.

I was honestly thinking about taking the pastor route. She is so angry with me at this point. I just don't see how my talking to her would be good at this time. I really do like the suggestions but I really feel like she might be better talking to someone other than me for now. When she cools off and regains herself then approach her again. KWIM?

Lisa, I wash her hair, put sculpting gel in, use 2 packages of the red ones then spray each curl as I pull them out. They also need at least 4 hours to dry if the hair is really wet.

I need to go get a second pack then. What brand of sculpting gel do you use?

Wow, is mine the only "intact" little toe?

Knock wood!

I am starting to think it may be!

Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas!

Why was the elephant wearing your pajamas?

Ah, Walmart WAS a mom and pop store. Five and Dime in Bentonville, Arkansas. Then a second store, then six stores. Hard work and a love of competition. This old lady sees it as the ultimate American Dream. Sorry, John1.

That was Sam's dream, he is gone and the family is not interested in any American Dream..... How many other American Dreams have they ruined to be number 1

Dear, i don't think you've seen John's earlier posts which explain his severe, intense, rage/hatred at Walmart.

John own store has been greatly affected by the Walmarts there. He has had to let employees go. (Since he is in HR at the store)

I totally understand John....

You know, we all can't have every previous post memorized....I didn't say Walmart was the place to shop; I didn't praise them.

Well, That's what they say, but I usually give them away, unless Angie gave it to me. I still have every CHristmas present she has given me over the years. That is, unless she tossed it. LOL I think I'll win if I have no toys left in the end.

I got this Studio thing so I can record a couple of Guitar instrumentals because I can't find anyone who can play them correctly. Don't get me wrong, they are very simple, but have to be done just right. (Syncopation). Anyway. I am hoping it will turn out really well. It is a 4 part round. And I am not really the greatest guitarist. I like playing at it though.

You ARE going to be in the talent show right??

 

[lbgraves]

Ahh one of my co-workers has that....She lost her voice twice over the weekend and has that cool raspy voice now....

Did the doctor give him something to clear his cough up?

When DD gets that kind of cold i have to watch because it'll quickly go to bronchitus or pnumonia.

She just said to give him benedryll. I gave him Delsym as well even though she said it probably wouldn't help. He slept quietly last night...so that was great! I put the steam humidifier in his room with some of the vapor mix in the front to keep him cleared up. He was still coughing badly this morning when he got up but I think that it was just getting up & moving around. Better now than in a month! I picked up some of the princess & spiderman gummy vitamins for the kids to take for the next month too. They took them last night & I will be on their case to take them every night with dinner.

One Cool Baby:

OMG!!! She is too cool!

We have this problem too - we are trying to unload all the pre-school toys. As soon as I put something into a garbage bag the kids see it as a new undiscovered toy box and start pulling everything out to play with. It's like wokring backwards - is there an equation for this? I end up in the negative column. I can only get things done when they are not around.

I am always trying to unload Dina's toys onto little ones when they visit. Problem is, Dina doesn't want to let go. But just yesterday we had a break though! I told her we were going to go through her little toybox downstairs and give some of them away. She grabbed two that I had been trying to give away to her younger cousins and she actually wanted to give them away this time.

This was Eliza's Baptism. My mom made her dress. She chopped up her wedding gown to make this dress.

She also made the little jacket and hat

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Don't return them, just give them a little early so he can wear them on the cruise! You don't want him to go overboard now do you?

 

[lbgraves]

Aww how cute....My DD wore a lace christening gown that was made by my great grandmother (Dm's side). She made it right before my mother got married and then passed away.

DGGM never knew that my DGM would go on to have another child (my aunt who is 4 yrs older than me.) So DA wore it, i wore it, my DSis wore it, and my DD has now wore it. Dsis bought a seperate suit for my Nephew though we he was christened so that kinda broke the chain.

It's nice to have a family heirloom such as your dd's dress. I know that i used the shorter part of my own wedding veil for my DD's 1st communion. She wanted her own crown piece and then i sewed the veil onto it.
1st communion was a very dressy event at our catholic church in PA. Here the kids all do it at seperate times (sometimes 2-3 at a time though) and most don't even wear a special dress or suit.

My mother made a gown for me. My sister, both of her kids, and DS wore it. When DD was baptised we couldn't get a confirmation from her if they were going to be here for it so I used a Feldman Brothers dress that I had. They showed up at the church with the dress but I wasn't going to mess with DD and she was baptised in that dress along with the hankercheif that I carried down the aisle folded & sewn into a bonnet. It is now hers to keep. I wish that I had gotten DS an outfit to wear too. DD's dress wasn't fancy but it was white.

 

[lbgraves]

I do have my first communion veil and DD will wear that next year. My sister also wore it but I ended up with it when I left the house.

I can't believe on doing this so early in the a.m., And John, Did you ever go to bed, or were you up all night. I got up at 3:30 because my neck was hurting. What a pain in the neck that was. Anyway, I need to go back to bed. Neck still hurts. MCA a few years back (1969). I did a Superman over the handlebars and after a 20 foot flight I landed on a rock. I found out, 2 years later, that I had broken my collarbone. THEN, in mid 70's, I backfliiped off of a skateboard, landed flat on my back and got a good whiplash injury. I should have gone to the doc but had to play some touch football. The whiplash didn't hurt until the next day. Then the dive off the boat, into the sand didn't help matters. ROTFLOL> Ask Angie about that one. It was good for a lot of laughs. In fact, all of those little accidents resulted in other peoples laughter. Ouch! Just to let everyone know, Angie wasn't the cause of my pain in the neck. Now, about that other pain..... .

NAW! The good Lord blessed me when he sent her to Disneyland. And for that I am forever thankful.


Well, enough of these mid nighttime ramblings...YAWN. Re: g'nite. Angie's alarm is just about to go off. Mickey wakes us every morning.

Ouch!! Do we need to bring bubblewrap for you??

Good thinking. Maybe I should get a pair for my DH. Then they can both be manly men with thier crocs...hum...what color...if they don't have lime green...maybe a really manly color...like purple!!! He could match mine!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

The DIS Geeks are going to change the world..... you know I bet it would be a happier place if we ran it!

Let's see....we have a few teachers, PTO moguls, School Board reps, scout leaders, accountant, medical personel, grocery managers, bankers...this could work. It could be our own DISopia!!!
