My colors are "blush" and "bashful."

Your colors are "pink" and "pink"
I tell you how precious can this wedding get!
It's pretentious..you know what daddy says "an ounce of pretentious is worth a pound of manuer"
The poet lauriat of dogwood lane!

(forgive the spelling!)


I actually have been using that a bit when people ask about my wedding "colors"

I say "do you want the real colors or the pretentious ones?"

Same type of incident, only it was someones household trash they dumped on our farm. I went through it and found a whole box of their blank checks. Decided I would share the wealth and drove all over town dropping books of checks in areas where low lifes hang. It wasn't long before bad checks started turning up from thier account

Oh my!

 

[dahuffy]

I bought one stick. Do they not last very long I was thinking that we could rewear dinner clothes especially if we change after dinner and use the tide sticks for the "oops I spilled food on me" moments

Don't be too surprised when I put my napkin under my chin like a bib!!!

 

[justmestace]

But you made some visually impared fish really happy.

Gee....tax write-off???


OR

 

[justmestace]

You are soooo PC!! I choose to ignore your DD theory and replace it with my own (wait..I think I have the wrong show)

 

[m&m's mom]

Okay...I guess that's true. I have a few of those. When I was going through my closet looking for stuff for the trip, I found a few dresses that made me scream "OMG" as I tried unsuccessfully to get them off without help. Needless to say, those are in the Goodwill pile now!

I appreciate a girl who knows when to admit defeat. I just know... I will be a size 8 again in no time soon.
Actually the worst possible thing happened to me yesterday. We are driving from my Mom and Dads (10 mins away) and there it was on the left- a CINNABON!!!!! Lord help me now!!!! I used to have to go 30-40 m ins away to find one- now there's one in my backyard!
I was tearing apart the Orlando airport last week trying to find the Cinnabon. It is on the map but after exhaustive searching- it ain't there. Turns out they took it out to0remodel and it did not come back in.
The only good thing is the location of this Cinnabon might be tough to make it a go.

I've made a few lists but I still have a ton of shopping to do.



That's the way I pack!

Growing up we would spend the summer in South Carolina. I remember my mom spending weeks shopping for my sister and I. Before she packed anything, we had to try the outfits on to make sure they fit properly.

It used to drive us nuts, but now my sister and I pack the same way.

Let me tell you, pictures come out a lot better if you actually consider what you pack and therefore wear.

We could solve some of the mysteries of life if we cold figure out why children do anything!!

Very true!

I don't see a DW on that list....I think I need to find out where his cabin is

He does not play for your team if you get my drift.

We need a Steel Magnolias viewing party!!

And now for an all Steel Magnolias multi-quote:





Well, these thighs haven't gone out of the house without lycra on them sice I was 14.

You were brought up right.




If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!



Oh! He's a real gentleman! I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he PEES in it!




The only reason people are nice to me is because I have more money than God.



My colors are "blush" and "bashful."

Don't be too surprised when I put my napkin under my chin like a bib!!!

I swear on our DCL cruise I had the ribs in PC. I was looking around for more napkins and the people sitting at our table dumped the roll basket and gave me the napkin out of it! I was trying so hard to be prim and proper. I was slightly horrified and thankful at the same time. My Sister leaned over and said "Quit eating those or she will take off the tablecloth!

These are SSOOO great! We really need a movie night. Think if I bring my VHS tape they will play it in the movie theater?

 

[justmestace]

The instructions were very specific that the ships are normally not on PV time....

They aren't used to DCL. Most OTHER cruise lines always stay on ships' time.
I promise you that we moved our clocks ahead and were on port time.

 

[justmestace]

So, it's different from shoving random objects up your nose or ear, but I think people might appreciate this story (as it's also a DCL story)....

I was chaperoning a youth group trip that included a 3 night DCL cruise. We were in Atlanta (having taken the red-eye from California) and were just getting settled on the Orlando flight when one of the kids calls out to me to come quickly (with that kind of panicked tone that makes you really move).

I scramble over and find one of our guys with his sweatshirt sort of over his head. It seems that he had succesfully zippered his sweatshirt to his eyelid.

We called over the flight attendent who looked as stunned as we were, but was quite clear that while she had no idea what to do, she knew we needed to push back fast. So, with no more than a quick warning to the other chaperones, and a few seconds to grab our carryons, I was off the flight with the kid waiting for the paramedics while everyone else headed on to Orlando.

The next five minutes saw a parade of Delta personel who had been seemingly called from every part of the terminal - everyone wanted to see the kid who zippered his sweatshirt to his eyelid.

The paramedics spent a few minutes debating how to proceed, when one of them decided to take the direct approach - he pulled on the zipper handle - hard. Success! The eyelid was released with just a bit of bruising. And the Delta folks had already booked us on the next flight which went smoothly.

No other mishaps on that trip (well, other than the injury on the ship when one of the other kids decided it would be a good idea to play soccer on deck 10 with a basketball while barefoot.... but that's another story).....

OMG that hurt just reading about it!! If it had been MY kid, that's what I would have done. Don't know what I'd have done with someone else's kid, though.

I've heard stories of men/boys going "commando" and getting something else stuck in a zipper.

 

[justmestace]

Maybe someone can borrow one from the Zip Line



Or for Stace.....

Oh....no no no no no.....I KILL 'em, not wear 'em!!

I've got the DVD!!!

(and btw mmmm cinnabon!)

 

[justmestace]

HA! Me too then!




Does not that movie have all of lifes lessons in one movie? "Our ability to accessorize is what sets us apart from the rest of the animal world". My personal favorite: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger".

One of my all-time favorite movies.

"I just want to HIT something!" "Here M'Lynne...hit Wheezer"

I think we're actually going to do a Red Velvet cake for our groom's cake at our rehearsal dinner. We'll see. My Maid of Honor is really talented at cake design/decoration and everything she bakes is amazing. My FI won't get it, but all the women in the room will!

Is it going to be a Bleedin' Armadillo???

 

[justmestace]

I hope this is the case although I think PV is on Central time. According to the clock on this website, they are an hour ahead of me which would make it Central time.

As I recall from the Western cruises, the time we got in was always local time so I am very confused about this whole ship time vs local time concept.

The only part I'm not sure of is what time zone we were in..in the states....but I do know for absolute certain-sure that the ship changed times to always be on local time. That was fun.....switching forward, forward, and then backward, backward....all in one week.

Well after dinner tonight I'll have to buy a truck load! We went out to eat and I ended up with a little BBQ sauce on my shirt and then the next thing I know I was wearing dessert! Of course it would of helped if dd would of kept the plate in the middle of the table!

 

[justmestace]

Maybe one of us will find them on the beach or while snorkling in August...

Edited to add....I should clarify--maybe we'll find the old ones. The new ones had better stay on your face. Maybe your secret Mickey needs to buy you one of those "Croakees" headbands for your new pair of glasses.

Already in the bag!!!

 

[dahuffy]

I know, because Tom had suggested it, I knew it was a bad idea . . . but then peer pressure got to me -- everyone was doing it, so I had to, too!

I can only assume that we're speaking of the rather "portly" man,sitting at his computer in his all together?

I kept doing that to Megan. Her colors (in my book) were yellow and green.
She said "Canary and Clover".........

I saw it and thought you put if perfectly!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Ordered my Dropps from Walmart...

Thanks for the info!
