Warmer in Ohio than in Vegas . . . what's wrong with this picture?

Just checked our current temp . . . 60!

Should be 20! Not complaining about my gas bill though.

This is plain NUTS!

We were expecting to need our next 2 tons of coal the first week of Jan. Jason said we will easily make it to Feb. before we need coal! It is amazing!!!! If I were a kid I would be so bummed out!

My BF the general manager for a ski resort. They still are not open. She said they are taking a horrible financial hit.

You can also buy the passports, and the CM's will write the child's name in the language and alphabet of their country.

This sounds VERY neat!!! I can have William research the countries there before we go.

 

[klineyqueen]

Oh innocent one!

John1

At least you got that right!!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

This sounds VERY neat!!! I can have William research the countries there before we go.

I really believe your kids would like it. I am surprised you have not been there yet.

We had Eliza at the DR tonight for her 1 year well visit. She got 3 shots and had a little tube of blood taken from her finger. She always gets really tired and cries a lot for about a day after. She was just up crying. I gave her a dose of tylenol.

 

[klineyqueen]

She is exactly the same height as Jake at the age of 1 but she weighs almost 2 pounds less than he did. She was off the chart for height and just under the 50th percentile for weight.

hi everyone

we just got back from chicago with autumn, things did not go the best. we ended up with 4 surgeries. one planned 3 emergency. she was placed in a medicated coma for a few days so the swelling around her brain could go down. unfortunately it looks like she will have some permanate damage. she is unable to move her eyes fully and the pain is worse than ever. i am so happy we did our cruise when we did and i am so grateful to all of you that made it even more special. time to get some sleep will check in again real soon. 10 nights of sleeping in a hospital have exhausted me.

Hugs
Jill

thanks for the update....give her bigs hugs for us and we'll be praying for you.

Hey Vanessa . . .

I guess you can cruise without us . . .

Why can I not get FLA rates since I own DVC? NO FAIR!

Hard for me to understand why the people who do not have to FLY there get lower rates . . . I have to pay to fly, hotel, etc . . .

I want special OHIO rates!

John1

Yes! And how about some recognition for those of us who come all the way from the Northwest Coast!??

sorry about the shots...I hate that part!! Haley's is coming up next month - 2yr check up....I am sure she will be much shorter than her dear sister.

I was just on Ebay..and someone is trying to sell the free Snow White print they give you in the concierge suites for $150....

 

[MrsMork]

It was 74 here today. This is rediculous!!!! I want to wear my sweaters & drink hot chocolate!!!! DD hasn't been able to wear most of her winter clothes.

We have a cold front moving thru here. Maybe you all will get it next week.

Jill, I am so sorry to hear it did not go well for her. Please know you are all in our hearts and prayers.

Sophia loves doing the masks too. They had Christmas Masks (with a Santa Hat) at Epcot this Christmas. Also keeps them walking from one country to another.

You can also buy the passports, and the CM's will write the child's name in the language and alphabet of their country.

BTW . . . when we have done the candlelight, we have done the dinner and show combo to get guaranteed seats at the show. One year we saw the show in the rain. We have always enjoyed it.

The one year we did it (they don't do this anymore) if you did the dinner and show, you got a special lanyard with a LARGE special pin. You also got an all day 10% discount for all Epcot shopping - which I think they do still do.

John1

We did the dinner package in 2000 and got the lanyards too. Since then we have just waited in the regular line each time. We have always gotten ok seats, we just have to stand in line a bit longer. Hey, Derek Johnson who does the Candlelight Processional is from Newberg. He taught at George Fox University here. Our DGS's other grandmother worked with him for several years. He used to do both, teach hear and go to FL for the holidays to direct the CP. He is in Fl permanently now, I believe. We did get to talk with him a bit in 2004 and he said he was very happy to see some Newberg folks again.

 

[MrsMork]

Who? Me?

Oh innocent one!

John1

Yes, and she is sweet too!

 

[lillygator]

Lisa - you guys haven't done Epcot?

 

[lbgraves]

I really believe your kids would like it. I am surprised you have not been there yet.

Let's see....first cruise 11/03 MK, 2nd MK 12/04, trip to WDW 6/05 MK, MGM, MK, 3rd after cruise MK, MGM, 4th MK.

 

[lbgraves]

Lisa - you guys haven't done Epcot?

Nope. The kids enjoy the rides the most & there were more things there that they wouldn't want to do than do. We don't have hoppers so we wanted to get the most out of our tickets in the park that we go to that day. Kaitlyn was so interested in the ruins tour & our DC trip that I think she would really enjoy the educational part of it now. I have no idea if there are any rides they will be willing to do but I will start reading up on the park & get them interested in it soon.

OK, another question about the shuffles....how are the MP3 players compared?

 

[Jhalkias]

OK, another question about the shuffles....how are the MP3 players compared?

Do you mean how do other MP3 players compare?

If that is what you mean, do not ask Carla or I. (Brandi loves her new shuffle too)

I don't think there are any other MP3 players that even compare.

Really Lisa, the iPod, iTunes ease of use and integration is incomparable compared to other MP3 players.

Time for bed . . . and the MacBook is about out of juice.

Good Night!
