Glad to hear that all worked out with Keegan - be sure to keep us posted on his condition!

Thanks, I will.

Can you let me know if you book through DVC at Disneyland how it goes. We want to do a 7 day trip in August 2009 with 5 day tickets to Disneyland/California Adventure, a day at Legoland and a day at Universal Hollywood. We looked into the Costco special ticket package, but think buying them separately would work better for us. We want to stay at the Grand Californian. The DVC points don't look to bad for the 7 nights and by then we are hoping that they'll have some villas open and will be even better.

I love your new coach purse. I have a small brown coach purse that I love and use a lot. My best friend has the same one you just got and she loves it. I kept eyeing some similar knock offs in Europe this summer by some of the guys that had them in Pisa, but the police came and they rolled up their sheets in seconds and went running.

Its wonderful that Keegan is doing so well and that he needed no surgery! Hopefully he will be fully recovered soon!

Thanks, we can't wait to put this whole experience behind us. It's been the "not knowing" factor that has really had us worried. The head oncologist said he wishes everyone that came in with a tumor could have it almost gone in 3 weeks! We really know how lucky we are!!

Hi girls-

Great news about Keegan.

I will be heading to the mall this evening with Tori and will stop at Pac Sun.

Michele, glad you had a quiet family dinner. I hope Nicole had a great birthday.

Laurie- have fun today.

Morning ladies,
The bf was a no show last night.I guess we scared him too much Originally nicole told me he wasn't to thrilled about meeting us ..he was scared of jeff but he was coming. Then the story changed to he had to ask his parents then it was no he can't come he has to go to his cousins.. So thankfully it was just the family at outback last night.

Mandy you are getting so skinny the wind is picking u up and blowing you around...

LOL, I am so surprised that he didn't show up. At least you all had a lovely family evening in the end and didn't have to hide the cutlery from Jeff

If you had seen how many Oreos I've eaten this morning, you wouldn't be saying skinny

Mandy, I just got off the phone with the pacsun by me and they don't have any pink smalls in right now. They said to call back on friday when they get there next delivery. So if u girls can look around by you as well maybe one of us can get it. Veronica i checked at smith haven in lake grove. I will try again friday if the rest of u have no luck by then.

Thanks for trying, there's no hurry, so if you get the chance to pop in, that'll be great

Veronica and I WILL be in Menlo this weekend - we can check there..

Thanks guys

We received great news from Hopkins after the CT scan yesterday---Keegan's mass has drastically shrunk from an air/fluid filled mass the size of a large apple to an air filled mass the size of a quarter. They are not going to do surgery for now and put him on continued antibiotics (he'll be on them a whole month). The infection is gone and they think the mass will totally shrink up to scar tissue. They still don't know how long he had it or how it got there. He has blood work in 2 weeks to make sure he does not get a new mass/reinfected and another CT scan in 6-8 weeks to make sure it's gone. We really feel like we won the lottery. It's so nice to have such relief and look beyond today. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!!

Danielle, that's fantastic news, I'm so happy for you all

Mandy...I saw something on the news last night about the weather that England has been having - unbelievable! Enjoy your time inside today...Spring is coming!

Michele...I will call the PacSun in Broadway Mall today and see what other ones are close

It's still blowing a gale outside, it really is horrible - did they let on when Spring might arrive ?

I'm going to call a few PacSun stores around here.

Thanks Veronica

Laurie - Sounds like a busy day! Don't you love it when the school has a million things planned for you!

Busy as usual - UGH!! I can't catch a break, can I?? LOL

I can't wait to shop with you but I just checked and the PacSun in Menlo said they are closed for refurbishment until Spring 2008 (we'll just have to hit the Disneystore instead). I'm going to call a few PacSun stores around here.

Yes - the disneystore for sure!! Although, ever since children's place took over - I really am not as fond of the Disney store as I used to be!! YEAH - shopping!! I'll see how long the boys will tolerate it!!! What time do you think you will be there..

Thanks, I will.

I called DVC - I would go anywhere there - we are thinking Paradise Pier hotel (least points) - it was 148 for the week - not too bad! I saw the Costco price as well, I priced that pass that has the other places w/it - like Universal, Seaworld and San Diego Zoo- but, I heard seaworld and the zoo are far... so, I would probably just get the hopper pass for the park and maybe a day at universal - not sure about that yet!

I love the purse too - I have to switch over bags tonight - I didn't get around to it yesterday... I have a small beige one, but I can't fit much in it, I have a small black (knock-off) one, the zipper is horrible, but it's an OK bag for like dinner on the ship.. then I have a big brown one, and a big black one, and a swing bag which I can't seem to find.. Even my prescription glasses are coach - they were CHEAP w/my vision plan - only paid $35 bucks!!

Laurie- have fun today.

Thanks Sandy - what do you have planned today?

If we can't find it in any of our local stores, can you order it online, and have it shipped to one of us, then we can send it to you?!?!? Wonder if another store that sells that brand might have it?? I can check around...

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Mandy i was surprised he chickened out too. But we told nicole she can't see him until we meet him so we will see how it plays out now. Maybe i should eat bad more often i lost a pound from yesturday..lol..Laurie warned me it will show up later in the week..

The sun is starting to peak out here.Sorry it is so windy by you mandy.
I am sure one of us will be able to find that dress for you by june.

No Laurie, I've looked into it, it has to be a US address and the billing address has to be the same as the credit card details. It's a nuisance really, cos I can get similar dresses from other places, but this particular pink one is only at PacSun

Good call, at least she knows he has to be introduced to you first. Well done on losing another pound I really can't see me losing anything this week - but at least my clothes are fitting better

Tomorrow is when me and Becky are having our Mum/Daughter day out. I am so looking forward to doing something different and fun with her, and hopefully I'll pick up some of her birthday presents.

BTW, what did the BF get Nicole for her birthday ? infact what presents did she get off everyone ?

The Bf got her a band sweatshirt,a playstation 3,some video games and a cd.

I asked her if he stole the playstation3 because he doesn't have a job. She was mad at me for that.. suppposedly his cousin is rich and lent him the money.
My parents got her a slipnot sweatchirt,flowers,lottery tickets,money
The inlaws nothing so far (dirtbags)
A couple of her friends got her some cds and balloons.
We gave her the little shopping spree last weekend at hot topic and yesturday some visa gift cards and flowers,balloons etc.

What fun presents! I still say the in-laws owe her a new car for forgetting her b-day.

Tori's party in May will be really low key. Just dinner out with a friend and our family. The WDW/B2B Cruise is her gift from us. Hopefully she will get spending $ from everyone else.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

I almost forgot to tell u about the inlaws. I told you how the idiot fil came over the other night and didn't even say happy birthday to her. Well yesturday as we are getting ready to head out to dinner the mil calls to wish her a happy b day and wants her to come over to their house on sunday for breakfast so they can celebrate her birthday. Nicole wouldn't even anwser the phone. Later after dinner jeff made her call them back and tell them she would be there (the jellyfish). She was not thrillled but i promised her i would pick her up after an hour and half to rescue her. Jeff will not stand up to his parents even though he thinks they are asses with this whole nicole thing it is easier to send her there for the morning then fight with them.

On Michele, that's terrible - but so funny

No wonder she was mad

Hey Girls

What have you been up to ? I have been a bit busy over the last couple of hours. A group of us on the UK Community board have been organising a Girly shopping weekend away in September.

Sandy - don't get jealous, but we're off to Cardiff (Wales). We're staying for two nights and booking several meals over the weekend, and we maybe taking in the Dr Who exhibition too.

Last year we had our first UK DIS Girly weekend away, and we had a fantastic time

Anyway I'll be back soon, have a great evening everyone

Just called the local PacSun and they had the dress in stock (pink/small) and they are holding it for me to pick it up tomorrow . Hopefully the person on the phone had the right one but the description was correct. I will let you know tomorrow.
