Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

Wow! I'm glad that your pregnancy is going well and I still can't believe the babies will be here soon! You're doing awesome!

I'm drinking orange juice right now I just read your post on how you love orange juice. I bought the Simply Orange Juice from Ralph's awhile ago. It's the only one I like that is pulp free and tastes great.


Oh, did you guys hear about some cosmetics lawsuit? My sister called me and asked where I was. I told her I was at the mall and she told me to head to Macy's for some free clinique and say I'm hear for the class action lawsuit settlement. I head over to the Clinique counter and had an unpleasant encounter with some wretched woman behind the counter who told me they didn't have anything.

Then I head to Nordstrom and there is a line to enter the store. I wonder what's going on....maybe a famouns designer is there? Nope! I see a sign that says that if you are here for the cosmetcis lawsuit to wait in line. The line moved quickly, they had security guards handing out papers with #'s on it. I waited in line for just 2 minutes and then walked into the store to a long table with a bunch of people. They asked me if I want Clinique Moisture On Surge for daytime or some tiny night time cream that may have been Estee Lauder. I got the Clinique and all I had to do was sign my name on a clipboard and that was it. I got it for my mom because she was too busy to go to the mall. Apparently it's at all Macy's and Nordstrom stores and not sure if you can get it from other places as well.

not much going on here. dh and ds8 had basketball practice tonight. took ds4 to gymnastics today; the teacher said he listened well today, but had to chastise a little girl several times. i guess if it ain't one, it's another...

yesterday i took ds8's disposable camera (from our december disneyland trip) to costco for developing, and today i picked it up. out of 39 photos, i think there were about 6 or 7 that didn't have his finger covering 2/3 of the photo...

he threw out the worst ones, but wanted to keep ones where he could see something in that clear 1/3.

I love kids. That cracks me up. I am going to do that for the kids on our next trip.. They love to take pictures.

I cant wait to put the kids back in the Y. I am going to re-sign back up next friday.. I want to get my fat butt in that pool. I hope my suit still fits. The new session starts the first week of April, so hopefully I will be well enough to take them to classes by then. I know that poor Mikalah needs to get out of the house.

oh! i had a brain flash today. i remembered i was supposed to sign ds8 up for spring baseball soon, but i meant to talk with a neighbor, who coaches one of the teams. i couldn't find the flyer i saved that had info, so i looked all over the house for their phone number (their son is a friend of ds') and finally found it and gave them a call.

he told me the final date for sign-up was tonight. i asked a bunch of questions, then grabbed ds4 and dashed down to the sign-up location. there was a bit of confusion, since the friend's dad had told me to sign up for AA ball, but the guy helping me was telling me i had to sign ds up for A ball. we finally got it all straightened out, thank goodness, and we are most likely going to wind up on the buddy's team with lots of other kids from the same school. sweet!

he's so excited, and it's very cute.

When I left Nordstrom there was a massive line of people waiting outside to get in. I thought it was crazy but it's cool because most people (such as myself) were oblivious to what was going on but they scored free cosmetics.

I'm not sure what the lawsuit is...I need to search but I heard it may have something to do with them selling expired products.

I read about that on the budget board. It sounds neat... but there is no way my big ole but can walk through the mall right now. Otherwise I would be all over it!

Huh. So they are getting punished for selling things at full price? Okay.

I think they must have also had free gift offers so that other stores couldn't compete with them.

yeah, in the grand scheme of things (all the money we spend on vacation) it was a fairly cheap thrill, about $8 for the camera and only $5.88 at costco for the developing.

I have to pee. Just in case you were wondering.

I'm not sure what the lawsuit is...I need to search but I heard it may have something to do with them selling expired products.

i read about this a month or two ago, and that this was how they were going to pay the settlement. basically by signing you are stating that you have bought these products during the timeframe specified in the lawsuit... it's quite a lengthy time, like 7 years... i think it has to do with price fixing, not expired or unsafe products.

Oh okay. I know a lot of stores here ran out but Nordstrom was crazy

there is a thread on the budget board about cheap date nights.. EASY. A case of Mikes hard Lemonade and a movie. Wait until the kids go to bed, and.. VIOLA!! Cheap date.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

that's a cheap date that sounds familiar...

now that we're friendly with a neighbor family, they've had us over a couple times for dinner and cards, and we reciprocated. it's nice to have an evening of adult conversation and fun, and at the same time the kids are having fun together watching a movie or playing. talk about a cheap date!

That's a cute idea

Frelan has been off work tons lately, so we have been spending a LOT of time alone together. Its been nice. It would be nice to get out of the house without the kids, but thats not going to happen for a while. Between him working tons, and always having the kids around.. Its easy to forget that we actually like each other.. Sometimes. Unless there is orange juice around.
