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

[suziemva]

I watch Veronica Mars too- what a show last week. They had me fooled 'til the end. I wonder what she will do now. Can't wait for tonight's episode. BTY- we just had our HD DVR installed today- I think I am going to love the ease of DVR!

ME, TOO!!! WOW~! Unfortunately, tonight my VCR and DVR are taping at the same time (Bones and Lost) so we DVR VM on Saturday. You will LOVE the DVR!

Hi gang, Does any one else get heart palpitations when you have been away from the boards for so long(since noon) there are like a million new posts. You have 2 screaming, hungry kids and a buzz(my mom came by for a glass of wine at 4 ) but I can't do a thing until I read all the posts!!!! Arghhhh!

Oh, yes! I feel like I have a cord between me and the computer! Keep checking every time I come downstairs!

I can't figure out how to change my album name to "PhillyJen and HGP" since no one knows we are the Metzler's?

DONE!

Mermaid Patty booked us with Happy Limo this time and got the excursion too.

You will love it! We had the Excursion on the way back (the stretch) and it was fabulous! Still alot of tv screens. Bring a DVD to watch! Just in case the driver doesn't have any.

I hope American Idol is better tonight!!!

I tried to get into it but just have too many Wednesday night shows going on already. The first season was the best and I've only been able to watch season 3 since....just can't get into it. Simon is driving me nuts! He's right but SOOOO rude!

Alright, wings are calling me!!! Gotta go!

Suzie, you ROCK And CG, I'd say your a ROCKETTE .

What a great site to store all our info, not to mention pictures to see what we all look like. I'll post some pictures when I get home tonight.

Rubysmom, WELCOME . I went back to the beginning and read all the posts at first. It then took me a few days to get my nerve up to post as I had never been on a chatroom. Well lets just say that I'm now addicted to this thread....can't get enough. At first it was for information, but now its info and getting to know everyone.

Must run for now or my work will suffer more than it already has.

 

[suziemva]

Good times and we are home early! WOOHOO~~!!

Tori's little boyfriend Nathanael

The gang (minus Jack) after dinner - why wasn't I smiling, I have NO clue!

The wings were good, the tv's were going (all 25 of them!), the fellowship was awesome! What more could you ask for?

 

[The Roses]

The Roses, you're all set. I couldn't tell that you were on line - I just was reading a post you did. I am not stalking you - just missed you guys. That's all.

Heh heh! We're old folks - no one's gonna stalk us, unless they are selling AARP insurance . I just have lousy computer skills and I can't figure out how to get to the website.

My computer skills are so outdated that I thought LOL stood for Little Old Lady.

Man, what a busy day on the boards! I take a "day off" and come back to TWO PAGES of posts!!!! How's a girl supposed to keep up???

Tom had some appointments in the Detroit area today so he dropped Abby and I off at Somerset (awesome mall) to do a little shopping...one of my absolute favorite things to do...I was looking for celebrities or football players in town for the big game, but no luck...he had his Blackberry with him and gets "Dis" updates on it so I knew a little bit about what was being posted today. But it still took an hour to read all of this and also Suzie's Secret Web Page!!! At least PJ was able to make spaghetti for her family...guess what mine got tonight...Pizza Rolls!!! Am I the worst Mom on the planet for serving her kids Pizza Rolls for dinner??? By the time I got home with Tom, I had to go pick the girls up from school, take Sarah to get her allergy shot, read the boards, read my email, make dinner, take Sarah to Brownies, get the girls ready for bed, watch American Idol, and now am typing during commercials of the Biggest Loser! See what I mean...BUSY DAY!!!

I like all of the family pictures on Suzie's Secret Web Page...it is great being able to put names with faces (although they never look the same as you picture them in your mind). The kids are all definitely cuties

PJ...Tom wanted to call you so bad last night when GWB was on, but I wouldn't let him!

The Roses...LOL...Little Old Lady...love it!!!

 

[castlegazer]

I like that too.

Guys, come on, this is not that HARD to keep up with. It's not like we are talking about big quantum physics problems or anything.

I do have to get to work tommorrow. I have come up with some good excuses over the last couple of days why I haven't been able to finish determing what locations we are spending too much capital on - but I am starting to look like a loser with not getting it fully done, so I stayed late tonight and finished.

Hopefully the inital flurry is over with and we can get back to just moderate levels of excitement from now on.

All right beddie bye bos time for me.

Oh, wait, (forgot my pad of notes from all the posts like everyone is suggesting doing so I forgot some stuff) Suzie, my husband is a HUGE Veronica Mars fan. It gets pushed to the side for Lost a lot, though, but he watched tonight. I watched Behind the Bash - good stuff.

I LOVE wings! Glad you had a good time!

Ciao!

 

[suziemva]

Sorry for hogging the boards today! I always have something to say! I love to talk on the phone (right, CG?!) and it's even easier to type out my thoughts.

Guys, I have to apologize for some glitches! I've had two invites go astray and I have no clue what happened. The site shows that they were sent but I have no clue! Please, if I told you that the invite was sent and you haven't received anything, PLEASE PM me right away! Trish, I'm working on yours! Read your emails.

Roses - please PM me your email addy and I will get the invite sent to you.

Anyone else, let me know. No one will be turned down (unless you're not on our cruise - for the lurkers). I am SO SORRY about this!

 

[The Roses]

I'm trying to respond to the PM with our email addy, but keep getting an error message.

I'll keep trying.

Check your pm's. Invite sent.

Think I've got everyone for the night. Sorry if I didn't. I'm pooped and going to bed! Night all! (See, at midnight I turn back into a pumpkin!)

You guys are great! Big hugs to you all! Gosh, I can't wait to meet everyone IRL!

 

[The Roses]

I'm in! I'm in! I can see the pic of the ship!

Thank you so much!

The Roses <----- easily amused

 

[suziemva]

YEAH!!!!!!!! I knew it could be done!

 

[ohsodisney]

Got mine , Thanks again Suzie !
Since our computer went down , I can't remember my password for our pictures . I am hoping by tomorrow I will snap out of amnesia .We have way too many names and passwords , but I don't like any to be the same on any website .

I can't get over all the new families that are joing us . WELCOME WECOME , we are so excited , the girls even more so . Mckenna is eating everything in the house right now , all she says is that she has to grow another inch to do the rollercoaster at Disney . Oh by the way I heard that the new one is open or is going to be open soon at Animal Kingdom , YIPPY ! . Holly has aked to watch that darn DVD That Disney sends for free every darn day . I like the song but I hear it in my sleep !

 

[suziemva]

yeah, they had previews for passholders this past weekend (no, we didn't ride it because it was PH only instead of PH plus guest like they usually do) and cast members the weekend before. They had reviews out there (let me know and I can email the site to you) that look pretty good.

Tori LOVES the Barnstormer at Toontown! If you are at the parks early (Before 10) Toontown doesn't open until 10 am. Go line up at the ropes and be next to the rope. Goofy and others will come out, grabbed the kids hands and walk with them. Goofy rides the BS with the kids and then walks them over to the Judges Tent for pictures after! It's really cool! We've been with Goofy but not ridden with him. He rides in the front seat and it's really cool!

 

[suziemva]

CG- I finally found the pictures of Mulch, Sweat and Shears. They are so great to listen to! They are street performers at MGM back near the new stunt show that perform old '80's music. They're really pretty good, too! Catch a performance if you can! You'll see why I was "woohooing" them and lost my voice! Awesome, man!

 

[OHJulie]

Boy, you guys were busy while I was away.

Suzie - i just PM'd you for the info. Now I have to figure out how to post pictures. I have not had a digital camera for too long, so I may have a limited selection to send. The kids look cute in every picture - but I tend to have my eyes closed in every picture!

Tom - Legacy Village is similar to many shopping areas - I know that the same developer is responsible for Easton in Columbus, Ohio. Probably the same as your East Town?

Chicago was good. I really don't get to see much. Just fly in, go to hotel, have meeting and fly out. Oh yeh, and at least one meal at a great restaurant. This of course ruins all of my hard work trying to diet the rest of the week. Traveling is murder on the waitline!!

 

[suziemva]

Glad you are home! Sorry about the down time there. That's the problem with business trips, right? Not enough time for fun things!

Trish - you're family photos are great! As everyone says, good to put a face to a name!

 

[castlegazer]

Tom - Legacy Village is similar to many shopping areas - I know that the same developer is responsible for Easton in Columbus, Ohio.

I know this developer - in the business we call these centers Lifestyle Centers - I was stumped for a long time when that term would come up in disucusions and finally I asked one of our site selectors what the hell they were talking about and he told me they are the mix of restaurant, retail, and office spaces popping up througout the country - I was like, hmmm, haven't they been around for a long time - now they jut call them this sexy term of "lifestyle center" - seems queer to me, but whatever, I now use that term every day. I was actually just monitoring Legacy Village for a competitor rumor.

I LOVE to eat BIG when travelling for work - I get a healthy daily allowance and usually have to work hard to meet it - so I go to great restaurants. If I travelled all the time, I think I would be a little more disciplined about this, but since I am still a once in a whie traveller right now - I go hog wild. It's just sad - it's like a kid in a candy store because food is like candy to me - I LOVE TO EAT!

 

[castlegazer]

OK - as promised, I am notifying everyone that tomorrow is wrist band order day. Please get me your orders if you have not already done so.

I am also nervous about those who have ordered who have not checked in in a while. Are you still cruising?

This is a call out to:
Inthemood (who needs to put up a specific order)
STEVEMED (who I am pretty sure is still cruising)

mousecrazy (again, I am pretty sure you are still cruising too)
carolina_yankee

 

[OHJulie]

CG - I think you may already have this order - but we would like 2 large, 1 med. and 1 small. Thanks so much for ordering these!!!

Is everyone doing their virus updates in preparation for the bug that is supposed to be coming Saturday?

I know what your saying about eating when traveling. I travel on average a couple of nights a month. I do fine when I am by myself, but when I am with a group or eating with someone else I tend to go overboard. You don't want to make someone else feel awkward about ordering dessert if you don't, right?

 

[castlegazer]

I had that. Gotcha.
