[Bella2000]

Hey, they read my email on Today's version of the DIS unplugged Podcast! You can hear their advice for us WB Repo Cruisers after the cruise and Disneyland on that podcast, which you can stream from right here on the DIS, or download through iTunes (if you have iTunes and an iPod of course).

Listen to the listener emails Podcast - I think mine is the second or third read, and read by BOB.

Uhm - now you KNOW I have no time to do anything I want to do - time stamp on the podcast please.....

I got that way last week on vacation . . . it was the LAZIEST vacation we have ever taken. I only left the place we were staying twice - once on our ONE and ONLY time eating out (at the Sanitary - and btw Brack, have not loaded the Bert's photos yet) and once to go to a little town called Beaufort.

I had no idea what day it was. I walked to the beach, walked to the pool, walked to our condo, and that was about it. I could not even remember what days Lisa and family were there and were not there - the only day I could keep track of was the actual 4th of July!

How I wish I could lose track of days again . . . rough, long day at work today, getting the payback for all the relaxation last week.

That sounds like BLISS. You guys deserved it.

Brandi, remember when I asked if you had a new tag, or if it was just the new avatar that made me notice your tag???

Hey I remember that - it was the last time I was online. I thought wow - I've been gone forever.

 

[Bella2000]

Marielle I thought of you today. My cousin cut off her hair for the locks program your daughter did. What special young ladies they are!

 

[Bella2000]

Sophia loves Bitty Baby. I can't remember when we got her for Sophia but I know Sophia was not very old. Didn't even want to name her just wanted to call her Bitty Baby and that is still what we call her.

We have bought her another American Girl Doll but she still loves Bitty Baby!

Too FUNNY - same here although she finally named her last year!! She wants an American Girl doll however I'm holding off because I'm not sure she really does.

 

[Bella2000]

I never said I noticed things quickly...I would make a very bad cop!!!

Brandi I loved your conversation with youself. You are a riot! I picked out lots of other potential tags for you. The tag fairy would have a field day and wouldn't be able to shine his/her humor on the rest of us mere mortals.

I liked this Brandism as well:

If it wasn't for going to church on Sunday I would not have a clue!!!!

 

[Bella2000]

Imagine feeling dehydrated at 1AM sitting at the computer in an office. There is no breeze. I need to get the heck out of here, end of conversation with self...

 

[lbgraves]

Darn! LOoks like I just missed you, Carla! Like your new sig lines.

DS has an appt on 7/24...preapproval done and everything!!! The office is just down the street from us so will work perfectly.

Brandi I loved your conversation with youself.

I am so glad I can humor you fine folks with my goofy mind!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

Our BIG Sunday School Picnic is on Saturday night. I was at church yesterday morning helping to make turkeys. I will be there at 7:00 and I will be there ALL DAY!!! Same Tomorrow. I am a nervous wreck. This is a huge money maker for our SS and this is my first time as president.

We do this every year so my soul knows it will be fine...but my mind is running a mile a min.!!!

Wish me luck!

That was great for your cousin to do! Hannah's hair has grown a few inches since January; now she can get it in a ponytail.

I should probably break this into lots of little posts to up our post count but I am being too lazy right now so one post will have to do it.

Good Luck Brandi with your picnic! I am sure it will be a great success.

to Kristina and Lisa. It sounds like you both have had a lot to deal with lately. I pray that you will get the help for your kids that is needed. Let me know if you need someone else to help you go after the insurance companies.

It sounds like lots of people are getting their hair cut. I actually just last night had a little over 12 inches of my hair cut off that I am donating to Locks of Love. My hair is now really short - about chin length. It feels so different.

The kids are doing well. Nathan starts K in about 5 weeks and he is more and more excited each day. I figure we will probably go pick up school supplies next week. Allie is doing pretty well but she has been a bit aggressive. Apparently the other kids are getting on her nerves a bit and she has been reacting. Her class has 8 boys and only 2 girls so I think she is just trying to "be one of the boys". I am hoping she gets over it very soon.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[klineyqueen]

I know all about aggressive little ladies.... What are you going to do!!!!

BECKA!!!! That is wonderful! You need to post a picture.

 

[87Heel]

Becka, congrats on doing Locks of Love! Hope you'll share a photo!

 

[MrsMork]

BECKA!!!! That is wonderful! You need to post a picture.

That's exactly what I was thinking! How can Becka make a statement like that and not post a photo? Becka, we need a photo please.

At our office in Baltimore there are two AC systems. One cools the front (Admininstration & Womens Dept) and the other cools the back (Youth Dept and Finance (me). The front unit has been down for 2 months! but you can hang meat in the Finance Dept! I tell people it's because we write the checks to pay people.

Annette, JoJo and I are traveling to Dallas. Right now I am in the backseat of Annette's minivan . We are just west of Knoxville, TN and will stop for the night on the west side of Nashville. That will leave us about 700 miles to go tomorrow.

My inverter is messing up so I am on battery power. It lasts about an hour then I shut down to recharge then surf some more. I need a new inverter!

Safe travels, Brack. That's a lot of miles to go!

Elizabeth has returned safely from her visit to North Carolina, including 4 days in Chapel Hill at UNC's field hockey camp. We all have new Tar Heel shirts, sweats, etc. She saw the basketball players running sprints one day (they had the turf field before the field hockey campers).
