A DISmeet here..a DISmeet there..Our August Southern Tour- Final Posts - #544!

"
okay now I'm cleared up.....Judy our biggest thing is not to add any stress to you with planning the party, etc. we have plenty of time to get the Saturday night party figured out :thumbsup2
I posted an update on FB to see if anyone has a big enough house or other ideas!

as for the "grown-up" drinks, I'm not big on it either, but do like one for special occasions which this will be! getting to meet everyone is going to be so much fun :banana:

Judy, m'dear... I certainly hope I didn't say anything wrong? As I didn't see anything wrong with your post. I truly understand that you and your family are going through so much right now. (((Hugs)))

Now, I know that most people won't even consider doing the party at my house - but I did offer it... It's a teeny bit of a drive, but it's always an option. ;)

In all seriousness... I wish there was some way we could all communicate together so that no one is left out. Because we certainly don't want anyone feeling excluded. (((Hugs)))

No matter what, it will all come together and work out. If all else fails, we can tailgate an the Target parking lot - right? ;)

D~

Of course not dear D~ and sweet Lisa, thank you! I was just trying to be goofy and again, my sleep addled brain thought it sounded funny...but realize now you all weren't following my thought processes (although to be fair, when Rachel read it, she got my humor from the start...:lmao::rotfl2:). NO MORE POSTING HERE when I am so sleepy!! Lesson learned (Of course, that means I will be MIA more...) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It takes too much energy/time to clear up my confusion...;);)

And I really DON'T feel excluded, I was joking about my firm stance not to FB. Lisa B. will ask me "this is what you wanted to do or who you wanted to do it with, right?" and I will respond, "That isn't quite what I said or meant, things DO get lost in translation". After all, I am not in charge of anything (well, except for our Friday night pizza party, which Lisa said was your idea D~ and I thought was a SPLENDID one! Thanks for offering to host it, even if it IS too far away!!), I don't know most of what is going on, nor do I need to. I only need to know what is happening at my house. I WILL say, If you don't hear it directly from me, then it might not be my thought, or what I meant....Things DO get mixed up...

ETA::confused::confused3:confused:Maybe I DO need that FB link so I can see what has been attributed to me. :rotfl2::rotfl2: Now, back to bed, I have spent too much time over-analyzing this...as usual...

no problems Judy....you know we love you! you aren't supposed to be in charge of anything during our visit, you are going to be queen for the weekend and get treated as such, well at least by me :goodvibes
you need to stop over-analyzing and just sit back and enjoy!!!
 
:rotfl2: tailgating at target, can just see us :rotfl:

There will tailgating on my road (cul-de-sac) before Tailgating at Target....Today I am feeling as if I could do this again...I am SO wishy washy! SORRY!!!!!!

Thank you for loving me in spite of myself...of which I AM so over myself, so lets maybe still do this at my house, :lmao::lmao: I know just shoot me...I am NOT the queen, I am the hostess with the mostest...well, besides Marianne!!!
 

FORGOT TO SAY!!! I found a place to party Sunday 8/19 AM 8:30 to 2:30 for a fee...check your emails, sent it 5PM my time yesterday! Do you know when most people are leaving?? PLUS, I have NO intention of being there at 8:30,but it might be a nice way to let off steam before everyone leaves and it is COVERED with walls opening to a park...And I know a restaurant we could all descend on Saturday night with a private room I think I can arrange...

I got your email on the place....I haven't posted the info yet on the FB page...is it deposit only or do we have to pay the fee....the upstairs would be ideal with the AC and kitchen!




not to much going on today....have a bday party at 3 for Megan's bff!

hope everyone has a fun weekend!!!

Gee, thanks for sharing the e-mails with me :confused::confused::confused:

Anyway, I just wanted to chime in and add a few things as I'm clueless as to what is being discussed on FB as well, other than what Lisa B told me. I do NOT think it wise for you to commit to opening your home up to 40 guests when you have no idea how Lisa will be fairing at the time. I think getting an outside meeting place is a better idea (and by outside I do not mean outdoors -- I know heat is a concern). Problem is of course finding a place and fees associated. I think some churches may rent out space and food could be brought in -- we were able to get free space at a church for our FRG functions. We were also able to get free space at a VA post but the room they gave us was filled with the smell of smoke form the adjoining bar!!!!! It was HORRID! THe other issue is if everyone is coming from out of town how are people supposed to bring dishes to share -- where are these dishes to be prepared??? I'll just go with the flow but wanted to get my 2¢ in for the little it's worth.

sorry Andrea not intentionally leaving you out of the loop....Judy and I were just going back and forth, we will be sharing more info once we get some stuff figured out! stay tuned! good idea about a church space!
 
guess what Megan did last night>>>>>


she spent the night at her friends house! first time EVER to stay at a friends overnight! we had gone over for her bday party and she asked at the end, so I ran home and got her things, then stayed for a bit to visit somemore....never got a call :thumbsup2

just waiting to hear when to go pick her up! proud of my girl :love:
 
I bet Megan had a blast! My dd had her first sleepover earlier this year (other than at her auntie's house) -- but she is so gregarious that I knew it would be problem free. DS is quite introverted, but he starting sleepovers at age 8 also and loves them. I think it just requires friends and parents you are comfortable with.


I am willing to bet Megan may have a hard time being separated from you though. I have a feeling that anyone who loses a parent would be particularly bonded to the surviving parent. I'm really proud of her for her accomplishment! I hope she had a great time and is willing to do it again. It will give her a little independence and do the same for you. Were you lonely? I get so lonely if I'm away from my kids for too long.
 
Great to hear about Megan! I hope she had a fun night!

Yes did...see below..

she had a great time! they went to bed about midnight and she said she was able to go to sleep with no issues :thumbsup2 she woke up about 7 and dozed until her friend woke up about 9, they just hung out ( I texted about 10am to check on her ) they went to the mall with another friend and "cruised" around while Karlee's mom shopped for a pair of shoes...they got her home about 4pm.
Megan never wanted to do sleep overs even before Jim died, so afterwards was even harder for her, has had a few invites before and never could do it...so I'm proud she was able to and she even told me that it made her feel confindent!!!
as for me, yes it was a bit lonely, and I woke up about 230 and didn't go back to sleep until after 4...bonus though I did sleep until 730 which is VERY rare for me! did enjoy a quiet and lazy day reading before she got home!
 
Glad to hear Megan had a fun time sleeping over her friend's house.

I hope you guys are enjoying your summer vacation. I'm sorry I have not responded to your PM. I keep forgetting it is in there and I want to double check some dates on my calendar. I'm still thinking about heading to Charlotte since it is not that far from GA and I would love to catch up with everyone going to the meet. Alas, I am not on Facebook so I don't know what you guys have planned.

hey, was going to send you another soon if you didn't answer :rotfl2:
would be cool if you can come up to Charlotte too! Marianne is making all the Saturday shopping plans so maybe PM her for that info....we are still trying to figure out Saturday night get together, it might end up being Sunday...Judy found a place but haven't heard back from her over the weekend....will keep you in the loop for that.

let me know about getting together in GA, still waiting to hear from Nini too!
 
Lurking again. :)

Lisa, you can set up a group on fb invite only those involved- friends or not and share all of your information in that group. You can even set it to private so only the people in the group see the information.

If you want I can help you with it tomorrow :)

Hi Rachal....we already have one set up that way, just that Judy and Andrea aren't on FB so they are missing the updates and I'm trying to keep them in the loop!

looking forward to tomorrow, got my cookies and bean dip all made, hope to be at your place around 1230!!
 
SOOOOOOOO Glad Megan had her first sleepover, that is a HUGE milestone!!! Lisa hasn't done that yet I am not ready for it either!

LOVE AND BLESSINGS,


We had a blast yesterday got to our friend Rachal (JohnsonsLoveDisney) around noon and hung out for a bit before heading out to the bowling alley...I didn't bowl since my thumb is finally not numb anymore and didn't want to hurt it again....Megan had fun with Emily rachal's DD and Rachal's younger sisters....Megan had a first I've ever seen and perfect ZERO game, only threw gutter balls, she had fun though....her second game she did throw a strike and hit a couple other pins, think her score was 26.
after bowling we headed out to see Rachal's new house they are waiting to close on hopefully in the next few days and then back to their place to eat, chat and I got a major baby fix with her little guy and played with her 3 girls! watched the older guys be crazy with the fireworks...we ended going in the house because they got a little close with them....
had a lazy morning and I went to get my nails done and Megan was still tired so didn;t want to go, so stayed home by herself for the first time for about
1 1/2 hours and she did great!

some very exciting news to share....heard from Megan's dance studio that she made the Performance Team :dance3::dance3::dance3: she is bouncing around! just waiting to hear when our first meeting is to start fundraising for the DLR trip in January!
 
YEA for Megan making the Performance Team!!! I am so proud of her; however, I NEVER had any doubt!!!

ZERO??? She needed the gutter bumpers! Try that next time...and at my house, the boys WOULD have needed Beano...trust me, you have a girl, they are more delicate! :lmao::lmao: I am so happy you had a great time! :flower3:

Please give Megan a hug and tell her Auntie Judy is so proud!!!!

well you haven't been around my family to know our secret "talent" :rotfl2::rotfl2: believe me they need the beano too....:rotfl2::rotfl2:
