I need spanx for my upper arms... do they have that? Oh and you a right, a brief? What a poor creative choice...

Stephen King's stuff never seemed like it could really happen by Robin Cooks did!

You are so right. I had the biggest fear (stil do) about organ donation because of Coma.

 

[Bella2000]

Oh and "it" did it for me. I am very very afraid of clowns. Last year we took DD to the circus and we were in the front row. I needed to get up a couple of time to "get food and things for everyone" because I didn't want DD to know I wanted to puke or run screaming out of there.

 

[Bella2000]

I am now reading three books - all unsuccessfully. My 2007 unofficial guide to WDW arrived so that will be fun to read instead. I get that every year. Len Testa is such a cool guy so it is neat to see his name as a credited person.

 

[klineyqueen]

I have been on an ebay posting frenzy. I currently have 44 things listed.

 

[becka]

I am not reading anything right now but usually every summer I get around to re-reading Gone with the Wind and I have not read it yet. I probably should pick it up again.

 

[klineyqueen]

We just put DD to bed. Next is DS.... when he goes to bed we are going to watch RV. I hope it is funny and not dumb joke funny.

We just got DD, the little gymnastics queen , down to bed as well. DS has been tired today so hopefully he will go to bed soon. I think DH is about ready to go pick up dinner for us. I think we are going to go with some spicy garlic boneless wings, potatoes wedges and roasted garlic mushrooms. Not very challenge worthy but it is Saturday night.

 

[becka]

I think DH is getting me a spa gc for my birthday so I can get a manicure and pedicure before the cruise. I have never had either (can you believe that!). When should I do this before the cruise so that it stills looks nice all week?

Also, are any of you ladies (or gentleman I suppose as well) going to sign up for any spa services on the cruise? I had a hot stone massage last time that left me feeling like a limp noodle. I am considering it again but it is so $$$$. I also thought about a facial but I just don't know. Any suggestions?

 

[Bella2000]

I need to go watch the Patriots. After three straight losses with the Sox - hey the week has got to get better

Please let me know, I just added it to my netflix queue.

 

[klineyqueen]

What kind of stuff do you sell?

Mostly clothing. I have lots of 3T boys stuff and a bunch of Eliza's shoes. I also got some adult name brand stuff while at yard sales.

I went and had a manicure the day before Eliza was born! The only other time was when I got married. My BF gets married in a few weeks. We are getting a mani,pedi, facial, and massage....$$$$$$$$. That will be the day before the wedding.

While on the cruise I will not go to the spa at all. I think they are over priced and it isn't my "thing" although I might pay by the min. on a beach at one of the ports!

Do you sell name brand clothes? I thought about Ebay for all these clothes I have left but I hardly ever buy brand name stuff. Most of my kids stuff comes from WM, Target or JCPenny's.

 

[klineyqueen]

Please let me know, I just added it to my netflix queue.

I love netflix! We like to watch movies. We are on the 9.99 a month plan. We get unlimited movies but only one at a time. It works out to be 2 movies a week. We have one on the weekend and one midweek.
RV is my Aunt's copy. We watched our netflix on Thursday night.

It is hard to sell non name brand clothing. I usually sell Gap and Gymboree. The 3T stuff I have up now was my sons clothing. I do sell kids clothing I get at yard sales. It is a fun way to make extra money. I have been doing it since my maternaty leave with my son. You start to know what will and what won't sell! Last week I sold a pocahontas costume that I got for 25 cents. It sold for $19 plus shipping!!!!! Things don't usually go that well...but sometimes!

That is what I thought. Whenever I look at Ebay it is all name brand stuff. I sometimes get the name brand at Children's Orchard (resale) but I just hate to pay that much for clothes that get stained and ripped. My kids play hard! I can buy used Gap for the same price as new Wal-Mart stuff.

I buy lots of Gap clothing on sale or clearance...I have often resold after my kids wore it for more than what I paid!!!!

Lisa, I also wanted to give Shirley some money for MAW when I call for a basket. Can you verify that she is really ligit and that the money will go towards things for those kids? Just want to make sure...


Kim

First of all YES! Shirley is a doll! She has been a sponsor of the DIS boards for years and many people who I trust on the boards have met her. She has been wonderful with helping to contact DCL when someone special will be cruising...like the MAW kids. We will be meeting her after the cruise this time & I can't wait!

Also, we have always gotten off the ship early & returned by lunch to spend the afternoon onboard.
