4/29/06 Eastern Magic...We're Going!!!!!

[DisneyJam]

"Everytime I think I'm out, They pull me back in"...

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!!!

Ok ok Tom called my all-in bet! I was hoping to bluff you guys to coming with us, but I guess I got busted. We have not given up yet, after all there is still plenty of time.

And yes, if we would have given up when the germans bombed perl harbor where would we be. Love that movie Philly Jen... Animal house! "Wait till Otis sees us.. he loves us!"

Queen Juile... It's not that 37 is old over all... It's just old in the NFL. JenLynn let the cat out of the bag... I just turned 35. No need to beg, you know we really really want to go, it just won't be the same. We will keep working on it. Tom and I will develop a new strategy!!

And oh my oh my... Laura!?!?!? is that really you. Pango is one lucky man!!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Oh, so the truth comes out...you guys are ticked that we blew you off for Cedar Point so that is why you are refusing to go on the cruise with us??!! If I would have known that all it took was a trip to the place where Tom & I fell in love then we definitely wouldn't have snubbed you eventhough you decided to go to Cedar Point during a busy week in the middle of JULY (also their busiest time...like going to DW during Spring Break). If we tell you that we wanted to go to Cedar Point but just couldn't pull it off, would that make any difference to you? Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm done begging!!! We're going on the with or without you (but hopefully with you)!!!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Oh yeah, BTJ, you shouldn't have told Tom that you would book the trip if he showed up on your doorstep...he was on the internet last night pricing same day tickets to Baltimore!!! This dude isn't taking no for an answer, so don't be surprised if you see him knocking on your door someday!!!

 

[DisneyJam]

Yes you blew us off for Cedar point and our paparazzi made the 6 hour journey with us. But would of could of should of.

Hmmm... may be another bet is being called. Man now I know why I don't win at poker. Well if Tom makes the trip that will be one dedicated sales man. But I do believe, the agreement was if he and Pango show up... I would book it. Just raising my odds a bit.

I tell you.. you certainly know how to make a family feel wanted!!

On another note... Took Teddy to the doc this morning and he has strep. Strange thing is, he is in high spirts and not really showing any signs of illness anymore, but he will need to stay home from school again tomorrow. WooHoo.. BowTie gets another day off!! hummm I mean, poor teddy needs to miss another day.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

O.K. I need to chime in, I just got back from Canada (Soo Canada is right across the border from Sault Ste. Marie, MI), and had a great steak dinner (sorry babe, I know you are at home with our 3 lovely girls and that is the last thing you wanted to hear) plus with tip it was 140, but that is only 100 U.S. what a deal. Joe I don't know if I can talk Pango into coming with me, but I did find airfare last night for 138 roundtrip going and coming back the same day, so watch out Bow Tie I might be at you door helping you book a cruise at anytime.

Wife love the whole falling in love thing at the Point, I remember it like yesterday our first date at red lobster, playing dirty simon says at the drive in, and you in the sexy blue uniform on the cork screw, man I wish I was home right now. Love You!!

Alright so I had a couple of Crown and Cokes, but can't a guy miss his wife every so often and not take any crap?

Well it is 11:30 and I have a 6 o'clock wake up call so I better hit the hay, I am sure when I am in Gaylord tomarrow I will check in. Have a great night.

Tom

 

[DisneyJam]

Any white stuff Tom?? Alright, I will let it go... I still double dog dare you... you show up the crusie is booked. Now the only guess is which way am I bluffing??? One day you will all see me at the world series of poker, so I continue to practice.

I am up, cause my fantasy team has much riding on tonight. Ashlie lelie and and Jake Plummer are both on my team, but oddly enough in my other league I am playing against Lelie. It makes for an interesting dilemma. I want Lelie to do well enough to help my one team, but not to well enough to help the other team.

Ahhh... so far the perfect balance seems to be in order.

Where did Philly Jen go??? And Tom if you do come.. Ruth's Chris on me!!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

You're right...didn't need to hear about the steak dinner! We had McDonald's for dinner on our way to Lindsey's Brownie Field Trip at the Corn Maze...it was nine dollars for the four of us (in U.S. dollars, of course)...luckily I had Pango and his Queen to help me drag my two and a half year old through the maze...the eight year olds ditched us and of course my toddler couldn't walk so it was nice to be able to pass her off on my buddies when I got tired of holding thirty pounds on my left hip!!!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

WHERE IS EVERYONE TODAY???

 

[Pango's Queen]

Never fear...we are out here...just a little slow on reply's today. With Pango in Indiana and TT somewhere in the great white north, things are abit out of sync! But I have to say, It is good to be married to the KING!!! We should make sure that he has to sit at the head of the table on the ship...and maybe a little royal treatment is in order!

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Hi Gang!

I am so glad to see Jenlynn and BTJ back on the boards. I was getting a tad depressed. The goodbye thing made me cry

But now that you are back, we can continue abusing you....Just kidding, not one to talk really since we haven't actually booked either.

I hooked HGP up with a new screen name but he is "pretending" to be busy at work. Someone has to do it in this family!

Anway, nothing new to report other than the fact that I think both my girls are going to be sick tomorrow

I need to run. I promise I will be back tomorrow!

Good morning all... It's been a hectic couple of days, but I am back at work now that Teddy is feeling better. Pango in Indiana huh L and TT in the great white north and Tom already did the leg work for me to find out how much it would cost to fly out for the day. What time you want me up there??

Well, since I have been out of the office for the past couple of days, I have a bunch of catching up to do, but PhillyJen, tell headgear, I still have time to check in.

Have a great day all!!

 

[Pango's Queen]

I am pleased to report that Pango has returned from Indiana and is now spending his time at the Zoo with his daughter!! Tough life! So I guess itis safe to say he is Monkeying around today!! And tomoorw its Julies's turn to run with the Zoo crew. The rest of us have to bear the burdern of working!!

Did anyone notice that Barry Manilow is on tour...who even knew he was still alive! One of the girls in my office saw him in Milwaukee over the weekend and now I am being tortured with the cd...not even the live version!!

Help me out of here!!!

[Belle&RellasMom]

26 DAYS! 26 DAYS! WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY IN 26 DAYS!!!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

HELLO???? WHERE IS EVERYONE???

I need to get my DIS boards time in before The Bachelor and Wife Swap come on, so would someone please make my day and post something!!!

 

[DisneyJam]

26 days.... yeah sure rub it in. Is it really only 26 days till thanksgiving??? It feels like so long ago that it was 26 days before we leave on our May 1st cruise. Wow how the time flies. Hopefully, it will fly right bye waiting for the next one.

It's actually sunny in MD today after about a week of rain and grey skies!

Latest BTJ and JenLynn update... There is some discussion about possibly doing the Western "special" crusie at the end of may. Teddy loves Castaway Cay and we know he would be super surprised if we ended up there 2 days instead of 1. I know... not what you guys want to hear, but thought I would keep everyone guessing.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

UNACCEPTABLE


Tom

 

[Pango's Queen]

I wouldn't worry about it Tom. I have heard that the Western Cruises often get cancelled because no one books them...and the people who do are SO lame, that even the crew cancels!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Hey Gang...I'm just back from a wonderful day at the Zoo! All of the third graders in our district get to spend a whole week at our local zoo for "zoo school" and today was my day to "volunteer". Here are a few things that I learned: tigers have really big poop, tigers lick their butts, why you ask? because they can, wolves only live in three of the lower 48 states (MI, MN, WI), otters eat turtles, lions can get cancer in their spleen, some kids ask the dumbest questions, and finally boys are much much much different than girls are!!! Being the Mom of three girls and then having to supervise three wild boys isn't easy!!! Overall it was a fun day though and I feel very fortunate that I got to spend the day with Lindsey and Madelyn (Pango's little princess).

And, on another note, you won't hear any begging from me on the whole BTJ & JL thing...I'm done with that, remember!!!

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Julie!

Wow that sounds like a really fun day! I love the Zoo- the Philadelphia Zoo has the horniest animals in the world. We were there 1 day and ALL, I mean ALL the 300 year old toroises were mounted on each other and moaning. We had friends with us and they were kind of laughing uncomfortably, then when we got to the tigers who were also kind of randy that day, they were like....What the $#@@ kind of Zoo is this..... Pat and I of course were laughing hysterically all day(and went back to check on the tortioses progress several times throughout the day as well). Turns out, it takes pretty much all day just to get on and get off, let alone the deed itself.....

Just a little tip from your friends in Philly!

Also-BTJ and Jenlynn- the Ravens play the Eagles this weekend. Anyone in for a friendly bet??? I bet the Ravens will LOSE! But HGP says the Eagles look more and more beatable every week....HMMMMM too bad no one has been able to do it. Sorry for the smack talk. I am so tired I am delerious.

Anyway, hoping everyone has a great day tomorrow. I am room mom for Hannah's 1st grade class and our Halloween party is tomorrow. After that, I am hitting the bottle. It has been a crazy week! The bead business is picking up faster than I can keep up and my car parts bosses are freaking nuts with the end of the year coming up and a 14 million dollar deficit to make up. Arghhhhhh....I need a vacation!

Oh and Katie wore flowers and stripes together today in totally different color families. Not Hanna Andersson cute, with different patterns. This was welfare child cute, complete with runny nose!
Orphan Annie cute if you will! What am I going to do with her. It is not worth the effort to fight with her over her wardrobe.

Calgon-Take Me AWAY!!!!

Oooohhh here is my bet, if the Ravens win, I will make sure that HGP posts an apology to everyone for dissing(no pun intended) you all for the past few weeks......
