If at first you don't succeed. try try again.

(why's every body always picking on me? )

"Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown, that Charlie Brown...."

That's a little creepy looking...

Yawn. It's early AM in Chicagoland and thought I'd check in to see what transpired overnight. Need to get DS off to Chorus and entertain DD. (What time does Playhouse Disney start?)

Another "Pirate Walks into a Bar" joke, which I am sure you've heard before:

A pirate walks into a bar with his ship's wheel stuck in his pants. The bartender says, "What's with the wheel stuck in your pants?" The pirate replies "Aaargh, it's drivin' me nuts".

Now that the race for the 12,000 is over, I'd like to share a PM I received earlier today. It came from a mother requesting a DCL postcard. I normally don't post these, but this touched me and I wanted to share it.

Hi!

We aren't traveling on our cruise until June 3. But my daughter needs a pick me up from Mickey Mouse. I just had back surgery and she hasn't seen me in almost 2 weeks. A postcard from Mickey will cheer her up. She asks me everyday on the phone "r we going on da Mickey boat tomawo?" She is 4. I would be forever grateful. It would cheer me up to. Thank you so much.

Kim


Needless to say, sent this little girl a postcard this afternoon, and the mom is getting one as well!!!

Awwwww!

There you go! Our Captain's shirt can say TAKE WHAT YOU CAN and the rest of ours GIVE NOTHING BACK...

Hi everyone

Thought you might like to see our pic from Pirates night on the Westbound PC cruise.. but by the way the rooster looks it will probably be double this.

Liz

OMG!

Hey, they got Captain Mickey in there!!

 

[lbgraves]

Great job ladies on the weight loss. Keep up the great work!!! Now that SB is over we are back to WW in my house - no point soup (good time for this with the weather being so cold) and salad for dinner, especially for DH, he is the one who has to lose the most....I own a Scrapbook store on Staten Island, and one of my good customers is one of the WW ladies, maybe you know Gloria....

Again, just trying to keep up here...missed 1 day and sooooooooo far behind.

Debi

Now that would be my ideal job!!! Working in a SB store! Maybe I would actually get something done.

This year the same person won 1st Q and half, we had the 6 and 4, but opposite...dang....would have won $7,500 and paid for most of this trip...oh well, there's still next year.

Instead of paying off this cruise now I am going to put the money in a special CD & use the interest to cover our tips & maybe some souvies.

Hmmm...Disney Cruise Line site has "This site is temporarily too busy to process your request. Please try again later." message. Everyone trying to snag those newly released rooms for non-deposit paying scallywags?

Hit reset & that usually makes it go thru.

I need to do our taxes and if there's enough i may just do the same with a 12 month CD... (if i can't touch it..i can't spend it)

To any of the ladies not wearing black:
"You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin."

Uh-oh.....

Do you mean "refresh" (2 green arrows Icon)? I've tried that, or is there something else for "reset"?

 

[RJAYL]

Good Morning

I see everyone is still hard at work!

 

[lbgraves]

It is so nice to just come home after dropping the kids off this morning for a change. I have to organize my Target finds today...the closet is a mess with bags now & DH is gone for 2 days so I can drag it all out in the living room and really go thru it and take my time. I bought lots of things for projects at 75% off....lots of frames were marked down last week so I got a huge one that has a double mat for an 8x10 and 4 smaller ones to go around it in the family room. That is the one being turned into our Disney themed one. I also found three nice shadow boxes to use for mementos from our cruises. This means that I have to get the release printed out & go get copies of the Shutters pictures for the scrapbook & to send out to family so that I can get them framed & on the wall.

The only name I know is Joann. She does our meeting......WE LOVE JOANNE.

She came to us several years ago when we were doing ww at work..... That ended so now we go see her..

So where is this scrapbook shop???? The only one I knew of was the one over her by the train station. Then again I usually buy stuff in Michaels or AC Moore and its all still sitting in the closet waiting for me to find time.

OK mateys off to work I go just wanted to pop in and say HI. (and try to catch up on the overnighters)

May not be back tonight I have my BIL 30th B-day Dinner tonight.

I will be sooooooo far behind whenever I get back.

Maureen,
That was my shop, the one in Great Kills. Have you ever been there? I moved to Charleston in September, not too far from Target. I had a fire in the store last April (an 11 year old kid set it, long story) and my landlord never fixed it. So my husband owns a construction business, and they have a yard where they keep their trucks and materials, and there is a decent sized house on it. He offered it to me, and I rent from them now. It is on Androvette Street (off Arthur Kill Road) and there is plenty of parking, which is the one thing my customers really love. At the other store, I had no parking at all.
