Marielle, why don't you join us a the Baltimore Aquarium on Saturday?

YUMMM - I love bath products. You mean we don't get the Mickey soap?

Is this Elemis stuff any good that they use in the spas? I see several of the casinos have elemis spas too.

Their muscle ease is absolutely the BEST massage oil ever! I use it on DrHug's lower back after he has done a 12 hour day standing in the pharmacy without sitting down and the spasms stop almost immediately. It gives him almost the same relief as a muscle relaxant without the drowsiness. Good, good stuff and it lasts a long time. The bottle we bought last Dec is still over half full because it only takes a couple of drops. I plan to go to the spa and get another bottle this trip.

I think the reason I feel so busy all the time isn't because DDs are doing things, but because I am always the leader/coach of the things they do!! I am slowing this by NOT coaching soccer, assisting with softball, and dropping GS possibly. Something has to give.

My good friend would have me practicing saying "NO"!!! You just can't do everything.

Ds started on Tuesday. He also goes for 2.5 hours but only 2 days a week. I told him that tomorrow he has school and he was dancing and shouting yippee!!! I can't believe it. I honestly thought he was going to CRY!!!

That's great Brandi. DD WAANTS to go, but she asked me today who was staying with her.

I am slowly learning this word.

This sounds like the conversation I had with the doctor today. Some people pick up things because noone else will...because they all know that you will. You have to learn to say no...like I am.

Kristina - you're coming Saturday right?

 

[klineyqueen]

I found a one...Dirty Banana recipe


1 oz creme de bananes
1 oz creme de cacao
1 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur
2 scoops vanilla ice cream

Blend six ice cubes with ice-cream in a blender until smooth. Add liqueurs and continue blending, again until smooth. Add more ice-cream if needed (for milk-shake consistency). Pour into a highball glass, and serve.

I am even going to try and print it out on a recipe card!

 

[MrsMork]

Oooh also, Angie is right about the massage oil or muscle ease. It is fantastic and lasts a really long time!

Now I'm embarrassed. I must have praised this product before, and now just repeated myself.

Don't be embarassed...if you like it...praise it!!!

Angie, there is someone who didn't see your original post in this group.

So, so true. When we went to DCL last September, I came back and got a phone call from DD's soccer coach. He started rambling on about ME being the coach and I had to go get certified. He couldn't make it to the games, but could do practices. I came to find out that the women from Girl Scouts who works for the recreation department said I would do it! Of course I did because the kids needed someone. I do enjoy it, but the phone calls, practices, etc just got to be too much.

 

[MrsMork]

talking about crop dusters - one night we were trying to land in Idaho or some god forsaken place (anyone from Idaho?) and it was pitch black out and out of nowhere there was this other plane swooping and flying really low to the ground and then spiraling up - I thought he was a kamikaze pilot. I was terrified. turns out he was a crop duster. LOL.

sorry, I 'm a big city girl.

Brenda is very, very close.

Angie - I was wondering myself where Kim got that quote from - I went back several pages to look for it even.

I also timed out of disneyshopping with 26 items in my cart - almost my whole order - I am too tired to call them now. but I already lost several sizes from not wanting to bother ordering earlier.

alas.

Marielle, why don't you join us at the Baltimore Aquarium on Saturday?

It would be cool to meet everyone, but it sounds like Ernesto or his leftovers will be in our area then. Another 6 inches of rain from Friday night through Saturday expected...

 

[pyramid2000]

Taking deep breaths and practicing...

no

No

NO

NO!!

NO!!!!

 

[pyramid2000]

Are you signed in when shopping? I usually can leave stuff there and as long as the item is still in stock, it would still be there weeks later.

 

[klineyqueen]

I wish I could meet everyone at the aquarium...but...I will be beaching it up!

 

[kimerinc]

I used to absolutely HATE CW music, now some of it has grown on me in my old age - esp these types of songs like what Brandi is talking about since I now have a daughter - they always play that one about "butterfly kisses" at weddings around here . . .

I always think those songs should end with something like . . .

And if you ever break her heart
I will hunt you down like Osama Bin Laden
And then I will tear you apart
Until even the memory of you is forgotten

John1

well, that's touching for a wedding. Can you imagine the new inlaws faces when you sing this one?

Mine is the same. I never have the timing out problem.
