Ready to kill my dd's sarah ran me up a $150 phone bill from downloading stuff from the internet.Nicole is messing up in school as usual. But then i have my angel austin who is almost perfect for now anyway....

You have had a horrible day - I hope things work out!!!!

I'm here, I hope you're having a good day at work

Oh dear, Jeff's not going to be impressed - Good Luck breaking the news to him

Yes the haircut is good thanks. The girls like it and Paul was a bit surprised at how much shorter it was, but he'll get over it

Enjoy the rest of your day girls

Work was ok - the day went pretty fast, being we were chatting most of the day! LOL But, I did get a lot done in the mean time!!

I can't wait to see a pic of your new haircut!!!

There you are - I thought you were in bed all day - crying about the loss last night! LOL I just put the game on now - keeping my fingers crossed for a win!! I promise I won't shut the game off till it is over!!! That was the jinx last night!!

How is everyone else tonight?

Thanks for the warm greetings everyone!

I noticed that there are a lot of teenage DIS girls on this cruise, and that is awesome. My DD14 Katie tends to be a little shy, so it would be nice for her to have some friends on the cruise.

Please add us to the list - we are:

Kathy (late 40-something)
DD Katie (14)
SIL Linda (early 40-something)
DNiece Sarah (9)

DD14 and I live in Maryland, and my SIL and Sarah live in Michigan, for now, but may be moving to Syracuse, New York. This is a girls' trip just for the fun of it!

I am looking forward to getting to know you all.

Danielle,

Sorry for your loss! One of the funerals I went to was my 80 year old neighbor, I feel bad for her husband of 55 years, she had been ill for the past 5 years. The other was a 27 year old boy ( one of my daughter's former gym coaches). He died in his sleep at college. It was so sad!



Kathy,

Welcome, I will be travelling with my DH 46, DD 16, DD12, DD ( will have just turned 8), SIL 40 something, MIL and FIL. PIL are DVC members and this is the second cruise that they have taken us on, they also went on the Wonder last Nov for their 50th anniversary. then they got the cruise for us for Christmas.

I lived in Aspen Hill MD back in the late 80's and I still have a close friend in Annapolis.

No decisions on home schooling yet although i am at ths moment, leaning towards it.

DD Nicole was home sick yesterday and was sent home sick today, I am feeling crappy and DD Sami (7) keep complaining her stomach hurts!

Diane

Mandy - GOOD MORNING!!!! I can't wait to see the pic of the new hair-do!!

You are so good w/the exercising - WTG!! LOL (I still haven't gotten back) - Good luck w/the weigh in! Did the girls head back to school?

Today is a bit of errands for me too - unfortunately - Ant is my last one to leave at 8 - but, the 'good' stores don't open till 9! So, I'll drop him and come back here to Dis and work a bit, then head out after around 8:45ish! Then, I was thinking of hitting Kohls - they open at 8, but I am not sure I want to do that or not! LOL I think I'll come back home for a bit - try to get some things done!

Other than that - I hope to be back in time to catch a bit of Little House - this working business cuts in to my TV time!!!

How bout Idol last night?

Michele - I hope you have a better day today!! Is Survivor on tonight?

Veronica - WOO HOO Mets!!

Sandy - Any BIG plans for today - other than work?

Suzanne - where have you been?

Jen - How is the break going??

Diane - Hope you and your girls are feeling better soon!

Kathy - Are you just heading down for the cruise or are you doing anything else down in FL before or after the WONDERful 4 days on the ship??

Alright - sorry if I missed something - Dominic just came out of his 'tomb' - gotta get him moving!!

Yes, the girls have gone back to school today (hurray !!), so it's nice to get back into my usual routine

I took my mum to town this morning and I bought a couple more gifts for the FE exchange.

Have fun at the stores this morning, are you after something in particular ? Have fun

Catch you later, enjoy Little House

[V4dice]

Good morning everyone!

So yesterday was a very busy day for me (but I did get some FE shopping done). Today I just have to stay home and do some cleaning so hopefully I can spend some quality time here with you guys too. I'm going to try to catch up..

Mandy..good job with all the exercise and good luck with the weigh in! How is the treadmill going with everyone in the house?

Laurie...loved the game last night!

Kathy...looking forward to getting to know you. I'm traveling with my DH, DS (6), DD (2) and my MIL, BIL and twin nieces (12)

Diane...hope everyone is feeling better in your house soon

Michele...I hope your day is going better today

Sandy..Hi! I will try to chat more today

Jen..Good job with the potty training!

Have to run and do some and keep up with my mischief maker (she is definitely in a devilish mood today) but I will check back in a little while.

Hey there Sandy & Veronica

I am trying very hard to keep motivated, I've done my DVD, but I have to be careful not to over do it, or I'll get bored with it, and give it up. Everyone seems to like the treadmill. Paul and the girls were on it last night, but I think I'll stick with the DVD or go for a walk and get some fresh air (I don't think I'll mention that to Paul though )

I hope you both have a great day too

Catch you later, enjoy Little House

So - I decide to run around right after drop off and just got back (it's 11:30) - so, no little house for me again! LOL

Mandy - I ran around for nothing 'in particular', but I did get a couple of things for the FE!

Isn't it great to get back to the old routine - I like when the kids are home, because things are a bit more laid back, but - I like my ME time!!!!

Good morning ladies-

Good Morning Sandy!!

Shopping was OK - picked up a few things - nothing major - what I really need to do is organize my list - I printed out the one that Mandy sent us, but it is like 4 pages, and I have to keep flipping around - SOOOOO I need to organize what I have already, what I want, and who it's for - then I'll be good!! I wanted to do that at work yesterday, but I actually had to work - can you believe that?!?!?!

Don't you just LOVE the busy days?!?!?!? Have fun cleaning and catching up, oh, and chasing Emily!! LOL Don't ya love that stage??

I am so happy w/the game - especiallly since the phillies lost - life here is sweet today!!!!

I know what you mean - I think that is what happened to me!! LOL (good excuse, right??)

How is your day going over there?

Where is my EVIL TWIN today? Am I going to have to call her to make sure she is ok?!?!?

Laurie

It sounds like you've had a productive morning Laurie, I'm glad I've finally decided what to buy for the FE exchange. I'm hoping to buy a few things each week, then I won't get a huge bill

You're all so lucky, we don't get these Disney specials over here. I would love to see the DCL one. If someone can copy it on to DVD for me, then I'd be thrilled to see it

 

[mandymouse]

Michele, where are you?????????????

Hey Sandy, last I heard, she was heading to the shops to get some sandals

Don't forget to post a piccie Michele

 

[LaurieWDW05]

Michele, where are you?????????????

Come out, come out wherever you are!! I am getting a bit worried!!!!! It's after lunch time and she still hasn't surfaced!!!!

That is what I am thinking about the FE thing too - get a little at a time - today I picked up cello-bags, so I can try and figure out how to package the gifts.

I have a DVD recorder - I can see if Carm can help me record it for you - then I can send it your way!!

I'm going to get some party bags to put my gifts in. I've got a couple of bags made up, and they look cute

Thanks Laurie, that would be great if you're able to copy it for me. If it doesn't work - don't worry about it - but if you can, then woohoo !!

It's a warm 81F down at twopalms today, though cloudy with thunderstorms

http://www.twopalms.com/

Here's a good website if you want to watch the Disney Wonder coming down the estuary

http://www.cocoabeachnow.com/port-canaveral-web-cam.php

People can operate the camera, so hopefully whoever is operating it will be pointing it so we can see her leaving the terminal

She usually leaves at 5pm and gets to twopalms around 5.20/5.30pm

There must be a storm brewing as the temperature has dropped to 77F (that would do for me right now )
