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

I just posted a spreadsheet on the other site (under the Files directory). I used the other databases to compile a list of DisBoard Names with everyone's real names for anyone who needs a cheat sheet like I do. There are a few people where I couldn't find information so please let me know and I will add it. I'm so bad at names that I need all the help I can get, especially when there is more than 1 name to remember!

CG- I sent you an email. I love the pictures you posted. I am so ready to be there!!!

Nikki, it's great! Very helpful! Thank you!

Update on my grandma - they are releasing her from the hospital! After asking all those weird questions about a living will and DNR requests, etc. it seems to be her diabetes medicine was the culprit! Boy, they had us really scared!!! Tori had asked me on the way to school about Mimi and where was she going. Telling her that it might be time for God to call her home to live with him was the hardest thing to say. Tori kept trying to tell me that she would be back but I explained to her that heaven is so beautiful once you get there you never want to come back. So goes trying to explain death to a three year old. Driving and crying my heart out do not go hand in hand. Don't recommend it.

SUE - THAT IS SO AWESOME ABOUT YOUR STUDY!!! WOW! So, what's it about or are you not allowed to say?

Let's see if I can get my mental siesta going here.....

AAAHHHHH....there it is.........

 

[rubysmom]

False alarms at this stage are REALLY crummy, and yet a relief at the same time! Glad to hear the good news, Susie! I think your explanation to Tori was perfect--sweet and honest...but does Tori think she proved you wrong, since they are releasing Mimi from the hospital again?

Bracelet note: Just got mine today, they are GREAT! However, the small is smaller than I thought, so if anyone wants to trade 2 smalls for 2 mediums, I'm game. We'll be okay if it doesnt work out but just thought I'd throw that out there. The smalls seem to be for the 5 and under set, I think?

A friend of mine just returned from Disneyland yesterday and I'm so obsessed, I cannot wait to visit with her and see all the pics and talk about EVERYTHING she saw and did. first time for her 2 girls, 8 & 12 yo's. She took a tour and had the same guide we did! Yay for Shannon at DL!! I'm SOOO excited to see all of her souvenirs and talk it up! (You all can appreciate this, right? It's not just me who lives vicariously through EVERY friend's Disney trip that takes place between her own trips?)

[ohsodisney]

Suzie , we got the bracelettes , PERFECT ! Holly said she loves them, loves them, loves them. Mckenna said Cool , now you can find me in the dark and it can wake me up in the morning LOL .

I'll be back later to read all the posts , it's another nutty day here !

 

[suziemva]

Our bracelets came today too! Thanks Suzie & Shy for all of your hard work!!!

You're welcome. Anything for you....hey, did you like the packaging? That was especially for you! Know that I thought of you when I did it!

 

[mketting]

My bracelets arrived also, thanks. The kids and I went and got in the closet to see them glow in the dark. I also got a Castaway Cay Gram thing too in the mail today.

Glad your gram is coming home Suzie.

Barb- I hope your son does well. Seeing our children succeed is one of the greatest joys in life!

Has anyone see "Something about Mary"? The tanning place I used to go to closed so I need to find another one. I stopped in this place called SUNSATION tanning near work. The woman working at the desk looked like Mary's neighbor in that movie!!!!! The first thought that crossed my mind was if this place is going to make me look like that no thanks!!!!! Not only was the woman's skin like leather but she had so much makeup on her face was orange. The biggest turn off though was she simply wasn't a very nice lady so I won't be going there for my precruise tanning.

Use number 27 for duct tape: tape a mailing envelope shut!!!

Use number 27 for duct tape: tape a mailing envelope shut!!!

Sorry, call it my sick sense of humor but the duct tape was with all my packing tape. So when I saw it there, I just couldn't resist!

Tori woke up around midnight gasping for breath. I think she has bronchitis, started barking like a seal. What a fun night we had. Didn't want to take her medicine, didn't want her water, wanted to sleep in mommy's bed, where was daddy, could she play QUIETLY in her room, OMG! Nights like that call for mornings with lots of coffee!!

Taking dad to the prosthesis guy today. Fun, not allowed to lift his wheelchair anymore into the back of the Suburban because it weighs too much. Doctor is trying to be really careful with me. I'm not even supposed to lift Tori but that's not gonna happen! Just want to get him over there so they can work on the fitting and he can quit complaining that it doesn't fit right. He's been in his wheelchair now almost three years. The doctors didn't want him in it more than a year. But when you have no motivation or goal to achieve, this is what happens. At least I got him to start looking into rehab again. Of course, guess who will have to drive him there...yup, you guessed it. He has a car but won't drive it because he says his walker is too heavy to lift. Then he went through a time that he wanted to add a $5000 wheelchair lift to the car. He just doesn't want to get out of that chair. Drives me insane because he would be able to do so much more, go places by his self, not rely on others to take him places. ARRRRRGHHH!!!! Makes me want to scream most days!

Okay, I'm off my rant for the day. This is what happens when I don't get enough sleep. I think I'm working on about 4 hours tops......is it nap time yet?!

 

[castlegazer]

Oh my God, I am going to have an accident here I am laughing so hard - This is our corporate mantra, mketting:

BWAHHHHHAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAA!!!!!!!!

What fun you provide me!

OK - onto business. Got the bands last night - They are cool!!!! We also took them into a dark room to see the GLOW! It's so cool!!! You have to charge the glow, though - so remember to do that and you will get a better treat.

THANK YOU SUZIE FOR DOING WHAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME EONS TO DO!!!!!

I hope Tori feels better today. I will chat later about the whole nearing 4 thing. I am going to have a nervous breakdown with Quinn's antics lately. He's killin me. I'll tip my Diet Coke in honor of you this morning cause I need one too.

I also got my formal dress in the mail last night and my damn bust is getting in the way - it's gorgeous so I am going to take it up to the seamstress and see if they can do anything about it. It fits perfectly except for the small area right at the center of my back. DAMNIT!!!

Nicki and OHJulie - got your checks! Thanks!

Nicki, I am off to check my e-mail - thank you a million times over. He is going to love this.


HERBIE!!!!!

 

[STEVEMED]

Suzie and cg....thanks again for all of your hard work with the bracelets.I got mine today and they look great.

suzie...glad your grandmother is feeling better,now let's get tori better.

I can't believe it is almost time for our cruise.My 6 year old is having a hard time understanding the concept of how much time is left untill we go.I decided to make a calendar that counts backwards so she can mark off the days as we go.

Off to do some laundry....two more days until the wife comes home. It's not easy being Mr.Mom.

 

[The Roses]

Herbie!!! The perfect pic for 53!!

We enjoy the count-down pics. Thanks

 

[castlegazer]

PJ - did you go get it????? I have my two disk special edition HP GOF in hand right now!!!!

I did a quest to get it and I was stupid to even do this. I went to Wal-Mart to see if they had a special and I should have just went to my home base. BJ's has it for $15 so I am sure Costco has a similar deal. This is $4 cheaper than Wal-Mart. I bought the special Two Disc version, though and that was $20.99, $2 cheaper than Wal-Mart.

Popping it into the puter now!!! WooooHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I saw the damn movie so many times, though, that it's weird that it's coming out so fast. My husband told me that some directors want to go with a DVD release simultaneously with the movie theater release. I think that is coping out and giving into the home theater mentality - but they want to save money on advertising costs, promotions, etc.

Oh, I just realized I forgot to look at your photos last night - I will be sure to do it tonight.

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Hi CG- I totally forgot that today was the day! I didn't get to see it in the theater and am not even sure I saw the 3rd one yet.....I can't remember, but maybe we will watch that one tonight. I am going to Costco tomorrow with my mom so I will pick it up then.

My mind has been on one thing today since Hannah Andersson said their swimsuits would be available on the website today....they aren't....They truly are the best suits for kids. Hannah can wear them for 2 years, then pass it down to Katie and it still looks brand new. Doesn't fade, stretch....they are awesome. \
Kate woke up with a 105 fever, she is pitiful!!! Poor girl. I figured one of my girls was going to be sick today after the crazy weekend we had, and they both fell asleep on the couch really early last night. Her fever came down to 101 after Motrin and she is telling me she is better....ha ha.... I think I might be getting sick too, muscle aches, headache...Better now than in 53 days if it has to happen.

So we are just hanging on the couch today. Although if I have to see one more Noggin show I am going to scream!!! I know as soon as I go to turn on another TV she will need something so it isn't worth it!

Nothing else new here. The website is coming along...should be about another 2 weeks!!! YAY!!!

Have a great day and enjoy the movie cg!

Jennifer

 

[castlegazer]

Oh man, I hope Kate feels better and does a lot of loafing today.

They came out with the years 1-4 set today too. It's $47. I have all the movies already as I picked them up at Christmas time, but that is a good deal. I bought each movie for less than $10 at Christmas, though, but if I hadn't, it would have cost me waaay over $50.

You really should see Goblet of Fire, that and POA is by far the best movies in the series. However, in both instances the books are truly lost in the movies, expecially GOF.

Good luck nursing your baby bck to health today. We have been doing Airborn and I now swear by the stuff. It is incredible. I know it works. Get yourself some and try it out for this latest round of sickies. We will be popping them into drinks like there is no tomorrow for the cruise.

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Oh my god-call me a liar if you will...the suits are there!!! I have only checked a million times today...YAYAYAYAY

 

[castlegazer]

Is it just the two styles???? They are very cute. Thanks for turning me onto that web site. Very, very cute clothes - and no, I have never ordered any clothes from Hanna Andersson before. Thanks!!!!

I have bought a million swimsuits for the kids at the second hand store. I figure there is no shame in having too many suits along.

 

[PhillyJen2006]

CG-yeah they only have 2 styles usually. The quality is so good. The quality of the clothes are awesome. Katie is wearing a dress now that Hannah wore in Kindergarten and honestly it looks brand new. Doesn't shrink, pill or anything. I guess it is justifiable when I have 2 girls. They always get 1 special outfit from HA once a season. The playdress/daydress is a great outfit. Katie wore hers for 3 years!!!

Alright- I need to go clean in case I really am getting sick....

PJ

 

[ohsodisney]

Hi PJ , I swear by Hanna Andersson . We buy all of the play dresses and capris . I just spent OMG , $900.00 on their site . Yup we have most of the Spring collection . The great thing is I can resell them on Ebay for more then half of what I pay for them . The quality is outstanding !!!

I hope Katie gets better soon , 105.0 is very high! Holly and Mckenna got sick on our last cruise, so in a small way I am hoping if they get sick it will be right before the cruise and not during , they don't go to daycare so I think they got it from being with so many kids in the kids club.

I finally broke down and bought myself a new pair of jeans today , it seems like it has been forever since I bought myself something. I even get that guilty feeling when I buy anything foe myself . Thank goodness for Ebay , I pretty much bought this years clothes for all of us with what i made
