[sandym]

Hi girls-

I'm sorry I haven't been around. Free dining keeps me busy. I'm even working today.

Suzanne we started spring break too. The kids are super excited. No big plans for break here though, just a trip up to my mom's 4/17-20.

Baseball got cancelled today because the fields are too wet. The good news is that the sun is out, finally.

Laurie- Hope you have a great day today!
Michele- where are you this morning?
Mandy- Hope you enjoy the Rugby match
Veronica- How was your take out?
Jen- so nice to have mommy/daddy date night (even when the kids get older)
Danielle- enjoy your the quiet

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning Everyone, Mandy hope you have a great day at the game today.

Sandy, I slept in late today and now i have a headache. I don't feel like doing anything.

Suzanne, Have a nice time off...Does that mean we will be seeing more of you this week?

Laurie, Sounds like u have a really fun day today......... At least you will be having fun tonight at the party.

Jen, What are you uo to today?

Veronica, I am heading to the mall today to drop off nicole and iit reminded me that we need to make a day to meet there in the future..

I don't remember who asked me about the Crocs. The store has some Mary Janes but not a 9 in Celery. I think they are $20.00. I got some nice flip flop type shoes for $20.00 they have brown, green and black. For the kids they had a ton of the Arial and Cinderella Crocs, I think they were $14.99 or $19.99...they are $34.99 online. They had Pirate croc for kids and a few mickey Skate crocs. Tons of regular crocs $20.00
They had Scutes for $20.00 they are $29.00 on line. They also had some athens and Baja, it was hit or miss with the colors and sizes. If you want me to look for something specific, PM me with your info and Phone number and i can call you while I'm in the store.

thanks
Diane

Yesterday was fun!! And NO I didn't buy anything - well, anything GOOD that is!!! Just a gift for the party, a gift bag, and a card! I was a good girl! NO FE obsession yesterday - I saved that for today!!

Today is going to be CRAZY!!!! We have to leave here at 7:30 for CCD - after CCD the boys have haircuts at 11:45 - after that, we are meeting my mom and sisters for lunch - (my sis that is w/me now will come up for CCD, and my Mom will meet me there to steal her away!!!!! - but, we'll meet up later!) We are meeting at the mall for lunch, and I will hit a few stores there.. Then, I have to go help my cousin prep for the party! THEN............... PARTY TIME!

So, I will have my phone with me, and during BORING CCD I can prob hop on IM and chat - that is IF I can figure out HOW to shut my keypad tones off so I can type!!!

Alright - gotta get myself moving here - Just wanted to stop in to say "HI" - Sorry it turned out to be a BLOG just about ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you guys - but, after tomorrow, I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like you've got a busy day planned Laurie. Have fun shopping and at the party tonight - I hope you all have a blast

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Mark and I went for Mexican last night. I had 2 very strong Margos and WOWIE WOW WOW! I felt good! It was nice to have a date!

Mandy~ Have fun at rugby!

Sure Laurie,,, after tomorrow I go back to school! lol

Glad you had a lovely meal Jen.

Thanks, I had a lovely day today

Aww, we're going to miss you not being around when you have to go back to work

Have a wonderful day Mandy!

Thanks Veronica. What are you up to today ?

Yes it was nice to sit and eat an entire meal without getting up! We really needed it!

It does sound like you had a lovely evening

Derek is at the boy's baseball practices. Usually I go along, but this morning I'm staying home and will sit on my butt and try and finish scrapbooking Brennan's wrestling pictures. It's weird to be home without anyone here, any work or household chores to do! I haven't touched scrapbooking in weeks and really want to finish it up before our next WDW in 12 (!) days. I'm now 6 Disney trips behind in scrapbooking and think I'm going to just have to do a few pictures of each trip instead of hundreds like I normally do. I need 36 hours in a day.

Have fun scrapbooking Danielle. I'm glad I don't do it, I think it would be far too addictive

Morning everyone!!! Sounds like everyone has some fun plans for the weekend We are officially on vacation woohoo I love having a week off for spring break we all really need it. Now if we could only get the weather to cooperate ugh. There is actually snow in the forecast for tomorrow After that it should start to warm up. My sister and her girls are in orlando this week and they are doing Universal all week. Can't beat those $87 tickets. I'm a little (alot ) jealous. I should be in and out all day today. Angelina slept at a friends last night and has another overnight tonight at the Embassy suites for a birthday and Haley has a birthday party overnight at her friends. John, Sydney and I are going to a neighbor's house for a birthday party tonight too. Lots of birthday's in April I guess

I hope you have a great week off Suzanne Have you got any plans for this week ? I hope you have a nice relaxing time despite the snow (yuck !!)

I'm sorry I haven't been around. Free dining keeps me busy. I'm even working today.

Suzanne we started spring break too. The kids are super excited. No big plans for break here though, just a trip up to my mom's 4/17-20.

Mandy- Hope you enjoy the Rugby match

Glad you're still busy Sandy Though I hope you manage to relax a bit when you're away at your mom's

Thanks, we had a good time today

Morning Everyone, Mandy hope you have a great day at the game today.

Sandy, I slept in late today and now i have a headache. I don't feel like doing anything.

Thanks Michele

Oh no, I hope you're feeling better now Are you going to be OK for the party after work tonight ? I hope so

Hey Diane, what are you up to today ?

 

[mandymouse]

We had a great day today. The game was OK, but the team we decided to support lost

We took Paul's friend and his wife with us, and after the game we stopped off and had dinner (which was lovely)

Well it's nearly 9pm, and I don't know how much longer I'll be up, as all that fresh air has left me exhausted

Have a great afternoon/evening everyone

 

[phoenixphantom]

Hey Diane, what are you up to today ?

Just running the kids around and working on the Taxes and tileing the basement bathroom. I'm feeling a little under the weather, even though the weather is fantastic, so I was just online looking at the Castway club newsletter.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Danielle, I am so glad that Keegan's blood work came back fine!! I know how hard it is when they can't get a vein, I had to tell a nurse to get the IV team after she couldn't get a vein after the 3rd try! When Becca was 9 she had a ruptured appendix and they had to put in a Pic line, which is an IV with a really long catheder that started in her arm and went all the way up her arm into her carotid artery in her neck. They drugged her good so I don't think she remembers any of it, but I sure do!

Hi Michelle just checking in quick we are on our way to our neighbors party. Are you still here?????

 

[Hanover]

It's been a gorgeous day here after a horrible rain storm all last night. Keegan's had a group of friends over all afternoon and we took them out for pizza. Derek's going to rent them some movies. I have a feeling more than the original friend will be wanting to spend the night. Brennan and I just made cupcakes.

I wound up not getting much scrapbooking done... I checked my flights for April and saw that I could stay another day for only $6 more per person on Southwest. Our original flights coming back were $89 when I booked and went up to $189 by yesterday. The next day the same time's flight is $95 so as soon as I found out I could get a room at WDW and an ADR at the Crystal Palace, I changed the flights I figure what's one more absence at school. We have annual passes and won't need to buy any more tickets. We can now have 4 full days and one half day at the parks. I'm on the wait list for Animal Kingdom Villas that last night and have Old Key West right now. The only thing available at AKV was the Grand Villa, which would have probably used up 2 years of our DVC points.

Diane, that Croc outlet sounds awesome. Where is it located? I sure wish we had one around here. Those prices are a great deal. The pic line sounds painful. The last time we were at Hopkins they ran a line in his arm and kept it there all day so they could just tap it when they needed blood, to run the CT I.V. fluids, etc.

Gotta run, the oven's beeping that the cupcakes are done. They smell so good!

I hope you had a great evening Michele. How did your after work gathering go ? Have you got a alcohol induced headache now ?

I didn't get to chat with anyone last night, I was so tired, that I was in bed by 10.15pm

Laurie, I hope your party went well

Hi Michelle just checking in quick we are on our way to our neighbors party. Are you still here?????

I hope you had a good tome too Suzanne

Hey Mandy! Glad you got all that good fresh air!

Can I come for dinner??!

Yesterday was crazy!

Em's geneticist from Boston called which I am in awe about. Not only did he as head of the genetics/metabolism program come in from his vacation to see Em after reading her case,here it is Saturday and he took the time to call to go over some of her test results.She has some odd results, that Dr. 's have never seen before so he is consulting with Hopkins, Mayo and Denver. She has a couple of tests pending and we need to repeat her urine organic acids. We are looking at, in all likely very rare metabolism errors. Em has certainly peaked the interest of the Dr.'s now and for that I am very grateful!

Sarah had a birthday party which she loved! I hung our with the parents and then a few of us stayed for dinner while the kids played!
These are my best from kindergarten mom friends. We are pretty close!

School tomorrow.. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm going to miss chatting with you guys!

I'll catch up with you later

 

[sarahsmom73]

BTW Mandy..

What time for turkey?!!!

 

[LaurieWDW05]

Morning all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the last day w/my sis!! We had a great time at the party last night! We are a pretty 'wild' bunch - and usually when we are all together, we have a great time - even when I am SOBER!! SO NO hangover here!!! I had to drive an hour to get home, REMEMBER!! I could barely keep my eyes open sober!!!!!!!!!! We didn't get home till 1am!

I have to tell you this funny thing - my cousin is a couple years older than me, anyway, when we were younger, I used to hang out at their house in the summer time w/him and his friends - so, his two friends were there last night at the party - haven't seen them in YEARS - one I had a serious crush on... the other one was a total goof - but, a lot of fun, so, anyway, it was nice catching up w/them - and after all this time, I find out - that the one I had the cruswh on, used to like me too! LOL It was pretty funny - But, he is this scrawny little bald guy (not that I have anything against bald), never seemed to grow since back then, so, I was QUITE happy that I didn't hang around and wait for him to 'make a move' ... But, we did have a good time yapping about the 'old days'...

Anyway, we have baseball at 10 am - this ought to be interesting trying to get Ant out of bed for that! I think my dad is coming down to see my sis, not sure about my mother, then she has to go to the airport around 1ish - so, that will be the end of our 'fun' for this time!

So, what am I missing - I've been reading along a bit..

Michele - did you have your gathering for your old boss last night? Maybe you weren't feeling so good from your 'splurge' on Friday night!!!!

Veronica - what happened to the mets yesterday? UGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mandy - sounds like you had a good time yesterday too, sorry your team lost though!! I am getting used to my team losing! LOL

Suzanne - Have a great week off!! (I'll be waiting for my pics! )

Jen - I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO upset you are leaving us tomorrow - maybe you can all in sick - I'll be off tomorrow - and we can chat ALL day~!!

Sandy - sorry to hear your baseball was cancelled - I wish ours would be today! LOL How long are they running the free dining?? I guess things will slow down a bit after that for a while, right?

Diane - I am going to have to check the crocs site, then go around and try some one, and 'place my order' with you! LOL Sounds like some good deals!

Alright, gotta get moving over here - at least if I can get myself up and ready - should make it easier when I have to drag the boys out of bed!

See you guys at WONDER time later! I should be back on after I drop her at the airport, unless my Dad is hanging around for a bit!

Guess what girls...............................I'M BACK (well almost!)

Talk to you later!

 

[sarahsmom73]

YAY! YAY! YAY! Laurie's back!

I would love to play hooky but since the 5th grade musical is in 2 weeks I guess I better go! It's worth another $800 for the cruise!

 

[sarahsmom73]

I probably will from our little gathering tonight after work. I already have a headache maybe drinking will make it go away..


Jen, sorry i ran on u before but when jeff offers to spend money i jump on the chance..lol.

Hope you had fun last night!!!

Don't worry! Spending money always wins out!

Sorry lunch was an hour ago

It's great that the doctors are showing such an interest in Em, let's hope that it leads to a diagnosis soon

It sounds like you had fun at Sarah's friends party yesterday

BTW Mandy..

What time for turkey?!!!

LOL, it was very nice, maybe next time

Hey Laurie, I'm so pleased that you had a great time at the party. Fancy that guy liking you when you liked him, it must've been fun to catch up with your old friends

I look forward to chatting with you later while we watch the Wonder leave port

Enjoy your last day with your sister

Have fun

YAY! YAY! YAY! Laurie's back!

I would love to play hooky but since the 5th grade musical is in 2 weeks I guess I better go! It's worth another $800 for the cruise!

I guess we can't be selfish then and make you stay on here chatting to us Jen We need all the money we can to have fun on the Disney Wonder - imagine if I couldn't afford to have a Bahama Mama on the cruise oh no, it doesn't bear thinking about

Thanks for the information. That would be great to get together one of these days. Do you live near Pottstown? We were there in 2006 for about 5 days for the Cal Ripken baseball State Championships. I remember going to a mall, but don't think it was the premium outlets.

I know you were talking about homeschooling Becca, did you decide for sure? There is a huge homeschooling group in the Hanover area, and a couple of my friends do it and love it.

Jen, that's great news about the specialists working on Em's case.


Keegan + friends are still sleeping. I have a feeling they were up half the night playing video games in his room.

We have a pretty quiet, relaxed day planned. We are going to meet DH's dad for a late lunch and then go to Keegan's all star practice at 5:30. After being in the 70's, it's back to overcast and in the 50's. I can't wait for the weather to start getting in the 70's regularly.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Afternoon All,
Laurie glad you had a great time last night. Bet you aren't glad you two didn't end up as a couple though............ .Are you taking your sis to the airport or is your dad?

We will have you back all day tomorrow....

Mandy, What are u up to today?

Sandy, Where are you?

Veronica we haven't chatted in a while

Jen, We will miss you while u r gone...Go get a blackberry like laurie and then u can keep in touch..
