That is fantastic news, Becca!!! CONGRATS!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Well, now that I know how to catch up with you guys on the other thread....

It feels weird not to have a meet thread to keep up with.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Congrats, Becka! That is super news! I'm really excited for you.

 

[Jhalkias]

Great news Becka! Congratulations!

Come on over any time Lisa. I saw you posted over there.

Sorry about VT - we have a Lisa on that thread whose son goes to VT. He was at the game.

Hope you all root for the Buckeyes in the Championship!

We will be cheering your Buckeyes on!

And Becka....CONGRATS!!! I know even more good things will come your way!

Of course we will John. Lots of cleaning here today. I am trying to unpack the last of the boxes for K's room and then set up the new to us desk in the office, moving the one we have now over for K's computer which is out in the garage. OY! I will need the Advil tonight!

Five days between posts!

I hope everyone is doing alright.

Work is getting much better. I hired a new Chief Accountant who actually knows what she is doing! In one month she has made great progress ..... more than we have made in over 18 months prior.

If things keep getting better I'll be able to go on vacations to Disney more often!

Is this possible?

 

[brack]

Is this possible?

The only other thing keeping me back is money to pay for the trips.

Same problem here. DRAT!!

 

[lbgraves]

LOL! Sounds great Brack!!! I hope everything else is going great for you as well.

We had a tornado yesterday. It was across the bridge in Vancouver, WA. Very, very unusual for this area. We have had a few funnel clouds over the years that we have lived here, but never a full blown tornado that touched down and did damage. It was, of course, the only thing that happened yesterday if you watched our local news!

Allie's 3rd birthday is in less than 2 weeks and we are having a small party at home next Saturday. She wants a princess party and I think I finally have decided what cake I am going to do. I am going to make a castle cake similar to this.

It looks cute and more importantly not too difficult. Use ice cream cones for the turrets - how cool is that. I am starting to get excited about planning my girly princess party.

Stay safe out there. We get tonados around here a lot - in fact we had a few on Monday. I hate them...just way too scary for me. Unfortunately I have been very close to 2 tornados in my lifetime and that is two too many.

We had an F0 (low on scale but still caused damaged and scary) hit our neighborhood in Germantown, MD in Fall 2004.

Sky turned green and i was ready to dive under my desk at work since we had glass windows all around. (i only worked a couple miles away from home then)

It's path was almost right over dd's elementary school and they locked the kids in (because it happened right before dismissal time.)

Some of the rows of townhouses near there had their roofs picked up and lost their chimneys or decks.

Our section was a mile away so just a few shingles, some siding pieces off, and some fascia boards.

Tornados are pretty common to Fredneck too.... We've been lucky though.

Hear, Hear - I second that!

As to posting - too dog gone busy the last few days!

I do miss being here though!

Becka, super cute cake, uncrafty my patooie!

Angie, be safe and keep Dr. Hugs with you.

John, we have missed you too.

Brack, I don't think you can go to WDW too much either, even if you don't go to the parks.

It has been really bad here at the office - too many issues, and I have a killer headache today.

The other day, I got a call from school, and Sophia was wearing headphones and one of her new pierced ear rings (which I was dreading anyway) went INTO her ear lobe! Amy had to deal with that!

Last night we spent hours going over voter registration lists for our seventh levy try (I went to bed early with a headache) . . . this morning the Board of Education elected me President - AGAIN . . . I got a year off . . . tonight we have a Basketball game, and tomorrow is Disney HS Musical on Ice (which Sophia does not yet know about).

Not much DIS time!

Hey PJ, any chance snagging an Apple Blue Concierge shirt? I LOVE the other ones - wearing them out!
