Hi Andrew!

 

[PBader]

At least I can feel like I accomplished something today. Dishes are done and DD4's room is cleaned... But did it even dent it?

I haven't done much on my day off.....slept too late (I hate that!) I did just finish making a pot of chili for supper. Starightened a little, But I really want to get cleaning on DS's closet...................

Who would have ever thought that Federline would end up looking like the stable parent? Those poor kids!

Scary isn't it?

Hi Andrew!

Hello Caroline, how are you?

HAPPY MONDAY, everyon!!!

We've been so busy lately!!

We got the mural that we ordered for the nursery/child room!
We have all textured plaster walls in our flat (historic building in South St. Louis ), and the mural is basically a set of wallpaper panels, so we're having to prep the wall in order to get it to take the walpaper. We got all of the supplies this weekend, and hopefully by this time next week, I will post pics of the mural!!

I have done my best to skim and read summaries, but I will probably have to just keep up from here on out rather than get completely "ketchup"-ed.

Good luck with your project! Can't wait to see it.

Do not...I repeat... DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING THAT AGAIN! You almost gave me a heart attack just picturing it! TG for Jack!

Oh sure!!! You whose family is on the no fly security list after last year's cruise.

Our very first cruise was on the Wonder back in '03, and we've discussed trying another line, but it always comes down to plain fear of disappointment. I know it costs quite a bit less to cruise on other lines, but after it's all said and done, it's still a substantial amount of money to shell out no matter what line you cruise. And we're just spoiled by Disney. We're seriously afraid of being let down on another cruise line.

I know the feeling... Some of my friends just think we are plain crazy because we always do DCL--even without DS. But that is the same reason we bought DVC. I know Disney does a great job and I won't be disappointed.

Yep me too!

Me Three!!! I also don't often get the Annual Passholder newletter - the Mickey Monitor. I think that gets published 4 times per year and I get maybe 1.

Well, you were advanced - I didn't start Little House until 1st grade!
I actually got in trouble for reading too much during school. After our worksheets, test, whatever was done, we were allowed to read silently. If I was in the middle of a good book, I would rush through the work just to get back to my book. Teacher met with my parents and I wasn't allowed to bring books to school for quite some time. Can you imagine?!

I'm always reading 2-3 books at a time.

LOL! I had to take books to school so that I had something to do thru 3rd grade. I don't remember much else about school up to that point. DS now has to take books with him & his teacher has provided him with challenge workbooks when he finishes his work. I miss reading like that. I haven't read anything since DD was a baby that is considered adult reading.

Andrew,evening/afternoon/morning to you too!!!! I was over 1500 posts behind so I guess I will just start here again.

How are your DW and DD doing???? I hope all our prayers were answered.

Our bulb has lasted well over two years -- rear-projection LCD, but we are having issues with the light engine right now that we are trying to get Circuit City (ugh) to fix b/c it is under warranty.

Okay....2 years is what they told us we could expect. What brand is yours?

Thank you for asking, DD I will know if the skin graft has taken on Thursday when I take her to the consultant in central London, everything crossed, havent seen any 'bad' signs.

DW no change.

How are you?

Hello Caroline, how are you?

Great and you?

I did . . . and they recently re-released the Trixie series and my middle daughter went through a phase where she read through all they had released so far. A friend of mine is one of the writers for the new Nancy Drew series, but (although I would never tell her this) I always preferred Trixie to Nancy, and even with the new Nancy series my girls have never really gotten into Nancy Drew.

I never really care for the books that people end up writing after the original author has died. I read all of the VC Andrews books. The ones after her death just weren't the same. I still have them out in the garage. Not sure when I will allow DD to read those.

Hey? What did we do?

Oh, the originals were my favorite!

In myself fine, challenges as previous posts but other people have hurdles to jump far higher than mine.

 

[lbgraves]

OK....I just have to say that what just happened 14 minutes into AR is SO not fair especially considering the history.

Never take more than one stop.

It's just ironic that when they were in the other position on the final show when they were set to win, the airline broke every rule to get the team waiting at the gate on the plane.

Towards the front...

The floor...

That's a beautiful room, Caroline! Now, can we see an after-after with furnishings in place? It looks like you have great taste.
