Breakfast at Kona.....let's grab a table!!

[lindakmonty]

Lesa...up to a month for delivery and for the price they want they're crazy. but, I'm sure Lilly will love it

Yeah, the meds sure do seem to be helping. I did see that Yaz commercial I've never heard a "clarify" commercial before, must have been pretty serious!

Omg Britt is going to have a great time! she better get some GOOD pics you know, of the ocean and the beach etc
I love learning about the culture and area when traveling. I always try to book tours etc to learn all the history etc. It is so interesting. I like knowing about where I'm at. It really makes me appreciate it more for sure.

wow...great news for Maddie!! I bet you're pretty excited, you had a great day for sure!

thanks for the VS info, Mike appreciates it too


Can you believe this weather we were about 55 yesterday but only an hour south, in columbus...it was 79 I'm so jealous!! now its cold and windy w/flood warnings Yeah, I think about that FL weather EVERY day

Thanks, I set the alarm this time Mike had an appt. up in Cleveland and had to leave at 8 this morning. If he overslept, you know who'd get heck for LETTING him sleep in

yes, I've been checking NC and TN out a little! Either would be 1/2 way to wdw I'd take that. and maybe dvc too I'm thinking when I get my RN, I'm going to treat myself to maybe dvc or a convertible I guess it depends if we're moving or not, I might need both

ohh thank you so much, breakfast looks fantastic

I hope everyone has a great day!

welcome the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy

sorry, I get a little excited

 

[YourMajesty]

Yowza...I'm deliquent. I'm finally caught up...life is busy.

Ok, first of all thanks for the breakfast Donna. I really enjoyed the parsley! When is the pizza party and I'll check my schedule. So is the WDW trip offically off? When will the schedules be set in stone?

Lesa, I did peak at the websites you sent...yep, one was in Spanish. They all looked really nice. I guess you have a passport and all? Great news about Maddie and her meds!

Hey 2x2s...how's the finger. Is that affecting your work? Thanks for the coffee cake.

Linda...DS just came in and told me to set my alarm. I took his phone away this week because all the texting was stressing him out. He used his phone as an alarm clock and I'm notorious for letting him wake me up. So I guess that makes me NOT an early bird. This has always bugged my mom but then she will tell stories about how I never went to bed before 11pm and always slept late when I was a BABY. See, proof I was born that way.

Hi Marueen...I hope your cold is getting better. I'm sorry to hear about your leg. I certainly agree with everyone...I sure bet your great attitude helps.

Hi Michele! Glad Lilly enjoyed her party.

DS seems to be dealing with the sports restriction ok, BUT he is still in pain. That's why went to the Dr several weeks ago. I think he is starting to get down a little. He's been asking for Advil everyday lately. I think I was so surprised that something was actually wrong that I forgot to ask what we could do get some pain relief? I'm going to call back tomorrow. Oh, this weather stinks...we might have a little snow tomorrow.

Oh...for anyone that eats parsley....A sprig of parsley can provide much more than a decoration on your plate. Parsley contains two types of unusual components that provide unique health benefits. The first type is volatile oil components-including myristicin, limonene, eugenol, and alpha-thujene. The second type is flavonoids-including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol, and luteolin. (haha)

 

[DonnaLeah]

*Good Morning!


Hey, Linda, we know how excited you get about DCL; especially two new ships!!
You definitely need to move further south. I actually went out Tuesday and cleaned the glass on my patio table and washed all the cushions. (Sorry if I have already told you guys this.) It was a gorgeous day in the 70's; now it's back in the 30's. I'M READY FOR SUMMER!!!



YM ....Glad you checked in; was starting to worry about ya'. The pizza party is tonight. Can you and the boys make it here in time?
Keep us updated about oldest DS....sorry to hear he is in pain.
Wise move taking away his phone.
I almost spit coffee on the monitor when I read that you stayed up late as a baby. That explains a lot!!!



I picked us up some fresh danish rolls this morning. Sorry.....no parsley today.

I hope you all have a Thoroughly Perfect Thursday.

 

[lindakmonty]

Hey there Ym! You slept in late as a BABY....wow that DOES explain a lot that cracks me up!!
sounds like a good idea to take the phone away, and set your alarm I'm going to have to start doing that darn it!

So sorry ds is in pain hope they give him something good.
Snow tomorrow I'm so tired of that word...I'm ready for spring

hmmm parsley, I've heard something like that, but I have NO idea what those components are whenever I think of nutrition stuff though, you're the first one I think of

hey there Donna! ohhh thanks for the great breakfast!
Yeah, I do get a little excited about DCL I can NOT wait for those ships to be done, I HAVE to go!!!! I better start saving now

Yeah, I'm ready for summer too!!! I want to get the house cleaned GOOD, repaint everything except Kennys room of coarse , Mike is talking about some new doors etc... so, sounds like some major work I love doing stuff like that though. It looks so much better when you're all done!
I can't wait for those 70 degree days


well, its been kinda crazy here... on top of trying to help Mike w/his college work he goes to the dr. and they want a new mri of his back, and want to test him for dementia!! I really wouldn't be surprised if he has it... definitely has the symptoms
I've been telling him, he'll study and study and then look at the test and is just BLANK, has no clue like he's never heard any of it before he'll read stuff for me to type, and what he's saying...is NOT what the book says lots of other things too...but it sure would explain a lot!!

My mind is totally set....I HAVE to move further south after I get my RN! It might take a few years....but I just have to do it. I know it will be SO much better!!

 

[lindakmonty]

I hope everyone is having a great day!!

2x, I hope your finger is better!

I sure hope we have a nice weekend to actually get out and DO something fun! I'm ready for some sunshine!!!

I'm ready to go to Cedar Point and Kings Island too!!! I'll have to take Kenny and see how he does on some coasters we'll have to see, I still remember ToT...at the last minute, I'm staying w/Mike...my belly hurts little turkey! Now he's talking about riding RNR...so, we'll see!!! I hope he likes them...I need a coaster buddy!!

Maybe Nathan will ride Top Thrill Dragster w/me sometime

 

[luvdzne]

Hey all!

I had Maddie's IEP meeting this morning! It went really well!!! I went in with a list of accommodations I wanted and they added all of them! I wanted everything spelled out so we didn't have the same issues next year as we had this year.

While we were waiting in the office lice check was going on! It happened to be the 4th grade so the minute we went in the meeting that was the first thing I asked the teacher. She knew nothing of it so hopefully her class was not included! Boy does my head itch!


YM I'm so sorry your DS is in such pain! I hope the Dr can give him something. We were excited about Maddie's meds. The Dr said that sometimes they can outgrow it when puberty hits and we are just about there. We do have Britt's passport.


Donna have fun with the pizza party. Defiantly ready for summer. I've been taking refuge on the kitchen floor basking in the sun that is pouring in the window. I had to fight Gracie for it this afternoon. Of course it is only 20 outside. I hope you guys get to go to Disney for a short trip.


Linda I've only every though of old people having dementia. I hope Mike doesn't have that. I like to blame my memory problems on my kids! I am always forgetting stuff and repeating myself. I can only imagine what a hard time Mike is having with it and school. The new ship looks awesome!


Michele sorry about your migraines, hope you feel better soon!


I have to take Britt clothes shopping this weekend. One thing her friend's mom said was Guatemalan guys like legs! She said to make sure to wear longer shorts or pants! Lord knows Britt has legs are a mile long, so are her friends. Her mom said they like to try blend in and not bring attention to themselves.....I'm sure Britt's already going to stand out!


Gotta get going. Maddie has an overnight with Girl Scouts tomorrow and I have to find her stuff.

 

[YourMajesty]

Hey Donna...where's the parsley? Thanks for the yummy pastires! Were all three of those for me? Rats...if I had known the pizza party was tonight we could have left this morning and made it in time. I'm ready for summer too...maybe we should skip the tornado season and just get to the heat.

Linda...good grief that is a little scary about the dementia...how is Mike taking that? Good luck with the MRI. Hey, I showed DH the picures of the new Disney ships!

Hi Lesa...I hope that is true about out gowing the asthma. DS is hitting that age and I would like to say bye bye to the asthma. Glad to hear you IEP meeting went well. Yikes, you better go get Brittany some capris! Oh, no fighting with Gracie for the sunny spot.

Well, I see a couple of you really got a kick out of my baby story so I will go ahead and tell you another one. It also bugs my mom that I tend to run a tad late everywhere I go. You see...my mom's due date was 12-10 and I was born on 12-21. How can it be my fault that I run late? I was just born that way!

 

[DonnaLeah]

Woo-Hoo!! It's Friday!!

Nathan gets out of school at 11:30am today, but Gary is working from home, so I won't have to leave work to pick him up. Nathan has ball practice from 4pm-6pm, so I'll probably meet the guys at the Rec Center after work.

Our pizza party was a huge success; every one of the players and cheerleaders were there. I had also invited the parents and siblings, so we had a pretty good crowd.
We held two "knock-out" tournaments and I had $5 Dairy Queen gift cards for the winners. the kids also voted for MVP from each of the two team; Gary had ordered neat little trophies for them.
The organization bought each child a t-shirt with all the players and cheerleaders names on the back, so the kids were busy signing each others shirts.


Linda:: I hope Mike's tests come back negative. Is there a treatment for dementia? I can understand working around the fuel for so long; I get kind of concerned over the dry-cleaning fumes. Hopefully, sometime in the near future we will be able to go with Green solvent.
sonds like you have a plan, gurl!! Move further south and buy yourself a new convertible to drive to your DVC villa in WDW!



Lesa:: I'm so glad to hear that your meeting went well!! I hope your battles over help for Maddie have finally paid off for her.......she's such a little doll.
UGH!! I'm with YM; definitely make sure Britt's legs are covered.....can you say bermuda shorts?? A couple of longer skirts may be a good idea, too. I'll bet they would look adorable with some cute flip-flops.
Thanks for the wishes about a trip, but I think I'm going to have to cancel this one, Nathan has a ball tournament that weekend, so no biggie, really.


YourMajesty:: Now.....I just can't believe you were late and you think that still affects you??
Wouldn't it be great to skip tornado season, especially for you folks in OK!!
I'm sure I will be whining and complaining about the heat really soon.
How did you DS's drs. appointment go? Was he able to suggest soemthing for the pain?

Michele:: I hope you get to feeling better. Have you been to a dr.?

2x2s:: How are you doing this week? Try to check in when you can.
Did I mention that Nathan's schedule has a tournament scheduled for the weekend of March 27th in either Collinsville or St. Louis, but I have no idea which. I'll keep you posted.


Maureen: Hope you and your hubby are doing well. Stop by and chat when you can.



I'm starting to run late.....rats!!! I think I'll have to rush through the drive-up this morning!!

I hope you all have a Fun Friday!!

 

[lindakmonty]

Lesa I'm SO excited for you. I know the frustrations you've had w/them in the past and it sounds like the meeting was a huge success and relief
kinda like when you see someone yawn, you have to yawn, someone mentions lice and you get the itches!!

Yeah, mostly dementia is older adults but the dr. said his uncle was diagnosed in his 40's and was around fuel like Mike so he thought his symptoms do seem to fit and wants him tested. Unfortunately he does have several symptoms but I'm praying its negative they're already treating him for personality issues etc. I was hoping the forgetfullness was just a side effect of the other meds he's on, so we'll see! yeah, he's failing two of the four classes I can help him study and study but as soon as he takes a test...the last one he got a 36 the teacher asked to meet w/him and he felt guilty thinking HE didn't teach them well enough. he's been going over for tutoring every day!! we'll wait and see
yeah, I can NOT wait to see the ships myself

Britt definitely needs some capris
Have fun tonight Maddie

Hey there YM Yes it is scary!! I'm thinking...how in the heck am I going to take care of him good thing I'm going into nursing!!!

He has been researching NC quite a bit lately
ohhhh those new ships!!! HisYM....you'll love it! And they've been offering quite a few military discounts too for the reg. ships...I'm sure they'll be more in the future too
I am STILL laughing about your moms stories that is too funny...I was a MONTH late from my due date I tell Kenny he was stubborn from day 1 b/c he was 5 days late


oh good morning Donna thanks so much for breakfast!

wow, sounds like a great cheer2: that is too cute they were signing ea. others shirts

omg...the dementia looks pretty scary! some can be cured,depends the cause. He's already being treated for depression and personality disorder the most common cause is Alzheimers I can't wait to get him tested.
I've thought about the dry cleaning fumes too I've heard it can be pretty harmful....green solvent sounds great!!

Mike has been checking out NC quite a bit, maybe b/c nascar is there.... so, we'll see. He says "get your RN and we'll talk"...I think he's finally seeing we really should move. Both of us really feel better in warmer climates, must be the arthritis type stuff...and of coarse he loves gardening, I want closer to wdw and more warm days for sure! we're not THAT close to our families, obviously ...so, why not!! I could move tomorrow! Yes, sounds like a great plan! move south, get a convertible and buy dvc!!!

well, I hope everyone is doing great! Hello Michele, Maureen, 2x, and anyone I missed!
Time to get in gear and do some shopping. Have a great day guys!!

 

[DonnaLeah]

Good morning, sweetings!!


My goodness; I really slept late (for me) this morning. I couldn't sleep, so I took just one Tylenol PM.; would hate to think when I would wake up if I took two.


We watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua......sorry, Disney, it was a major snoozer. I fell asleep, Gary thought it was awful and Nathan said it was 10% good.

Have an appt. for our taxes this afternoon and am crossing my fingers that the news is not as bad as we are planning.



Linda......sounds like you may be living next to Darlington? Gary will be soooo jealous!!



Our breakfast buffet is ready and waiting......

I hope you all have an Awesome Saturday!!

 

[lindakmonty]

Good morning Donna breakfast looks incredible, as usual

omg, I know what you mean. One tylenol PM is more than enough for me. Sometimes I just break one in half. They sure help though!

good luck w/your taxes I should get my refund this week

Darlington sounds good!! tell him you'd always be welcome at our house

Carowinds amusement park sounds good too!

I hope everyone has a great day! I guess we're going to see Race to Witch Mountain, it doesn't look too bad.

Take care everyone! Lesa, I hope you're finding some good capris

 

[2xcited2slp]

good afternoon chickiepoos!!!


I had a fairly boring week, which is not bad----better than frantic, I suppose.

My nephew (3yr. old) had his tonsils and adenoids (sp??) taken out and tubes put in his ears on Thursday. He did well, but the nurses bribed him back into the surgery room by telling him they were having a party. My sister e-mailed me a picture of he and his little stuffed animal puppy with surgery caps on---getting ready for the "party". I can just imagine his paranoia (again??sp) when he hears the word party now.



Linda---oh my, poor Mike!!! and you!!! I hope his tests come out negative!! I've never heard of dementia so young.
I didn't have a chance to look at the new ships----when do they set sail?? (is that the correct verbage??) Maybe we ALL should start saving our pennies.
How's the little lover boy??



Lesa---I have this visual of you and Gracie fighting over a ray of sunshine.
My computer is being horendous, so I couldn't look at the resorts----I'm sure Britt will have a wonderful time---what a chance in a lifetime. Yes, tell her to cover her legs!!! (and other body parts, too)----ya always hear that those foreign men are a bit forward.



Donna----thanks for the wonderful breakfasts!!!
yes, keep me posted on Nathan's tournaments around here.
Glad to hear your pizza party went well. That's cute that they were signing t-shirts.



YM----how's DS?? hopefully feeling better by now.
What, you going to sleep early?? never.
oh, and thanks for the very helpful nutrition lesson on parsley.



I am being lazy today----should be cleaning right now, but I'm not.
I also have to touch up the paint where the plaster was repaired----I just hope the paint is in the basement so the entire room doesn't have to be redone. That will just burn my bacon if it comes to that. (sorry, YM---just HAD to use it )



hey Michele and Maureen!!!!

 

[YourMajesty]

Hey Donna...thanks for the breakfast. Sounds like your pizza party was a big hit. Hmmm...I hope your tax appointment went ok. I'm assuming bad would be paying.

Linda...how was the movie. I remember really liking the original. How was the Rock? Is Kenny playing any sports this spring?

Hi 2x2s...well did you find your paint? You can only say that if you add a nice southern accent to it! My bacon is burning all the time these days. Yep, anything green is good for nutrients...well almost anything. You didn't say how your finger was doing...did you?

Not much new around here. I ended up doing luandry, some ironing(a rare event at my house), and making a couple of trips to the store. I'm having my inlaws over to eat tomorrow and I'm making homemade strawberry shortcake for dessert! Oh, I talked to DS's orthopedist and he said to give him 400mg of Motrin 3x a day...doesn't that sound like a huge amout for a kid?

 

[DonnaLeah]

Yoo-Hoo!! Time to rise and shine!!


Our tax appt. went well yesterday. Evidentally there has been some changes in capital gains taxes; so we're good. Gary's company was bought out last year and the stock purchase plan the old company had was discontinued by the new co.; which didn't even give a roll-over option, just cashed out the stocks and dumped it in his checking account!! Anyway, I guess we won't have to sell Nathan to pay our taxes.


2x2s:: MY heart was melting over you little nephew heading to the "party" with his little stuffed puppy dog. I hope he is not scared of going to parties from now on.
I had to chuckle the other day. One of the basketball moms told me that one of the player's younger brother got one of his old t-shirts out and was writing kids' names on the back. She had to explain that the kids were supposed to write their names on the shirt themselves. I guess he thought the shirt signing looked like fun!!



Linda:: Did you get to see Race To Witch Mountain? I've never totally watched the originals; I think they were on Wonderful World of Disney.
I'll have to check out Carowinds!
Gotta love tax refunds!!



YourMajesty:: Hey, that laundry sounds like fun. I have a load in the dryer from last night.
Your strawberry shortcake sounds awesome!!
YIKES!! when I read about the 400mg of Motrin, I thought that seemed like an aweful lot!! I think I would cut it to 200mg twice a day, if needed.


Lesa:: Did you get your shopping done for Britt? I just love looking at the new spring clothes......I need to lose some weight.


Nathan has practice at 4pm this afternoon, but I am seriously thinking of calling my mom to see if she would like to do a little shopping. A friend of ours duaghter just had a little boy and we can't find anything in our little town.



I found a little something that is both Disney and nutricious. Just eat the fruit and let the youngsters eat the waffle.

I hope you all have a Serene Sunday.

 

[luvdzne]

Good morning!

I've been coming down with a head cold the last couple of days. Last night I woke up with my throat so sore I could hardly swallow.

YM that dose is ok depending on on how much your DS weighs. 200 is a normal dose for 12 and up with instructions to give another 200 if pain does not respond. I have always hated that they use age instead of weight because it can vary so much depending on the child. I would give him 1 pill and see in another half hour or so if he is still in pain, if he is then give him another one. Just make sure if he does have the 400mg that he not take it on an empty stomach. Hope he's feeling better soon! I can't remember if you said what he did to hurt it or not.


2x your poor nephew! I hope he doesn't associate parties with this experience. That just burns my bacon rolleyes1 ) that they would tell him it's a party! When Maddie had her's out several years ago the "happy juice" they gave her had her floating so high she didn't care and they took her in no problem. I hope he is feeling better today. It took Maddie a few days before she was herself. She did want a hamburger and fries the same day she had it done. In fact was very insistent that we get her one, she only ate a bite or 2 then decided on a Popsicle.
I hope you found your paint! That would stink if you had to repaint the whole room. Yep....Gracie and I fighting for the sun spot. Yesterday I actually took her dog bed (a nice big floor pillow) and put in in the sun spot and took a nap!


Donna I'm so glad you don't have to sell Nathan to pay your taxes! I didn't get much shopping done for Britt yesterday. She wanted a skimpy bathing suit and shorts that looked like they were Lilly's size! I got tired of arguing with her, so I bought Maddie some new clothes. I told her if she didn't choose more wisely she would be wearing her jeans. I'd tell her to wear the bathing suit from last year but I'm afraid that would be more reveling than the bathing suit she was trying to get me to buy. Boy did she grow!


Linda how was Race to Witch Mountain? I was thinking about what you said about Mike and how he forgets and such. Also that he had some issues with depression. I don't know if he's on any meds for it or other things, but if he is have they ever looked at the side effects from them? I know that I have been on some meds before for pain and depression that left me not knowing if I was coming or going. I had one that messed me up so bad I couldn't remember my name half the time. Most of the time Drs don't seem to see a symptom as a side effect of a med and start to treat it and diagnosis as something else. Just a thought....

 

[lindakmonty]

oh 2x, I sure hope your nephew is feeling better. He'll never want to go to a party again

Don't those new ships look incredible One comes out on 2011 and the other in 2012 YES we should all start saving sounds like a great plan

Oh, Kenny....just as rotten as ever he has to give an oral report on President Hoover, so we've been working on that most of the day! He wants to wear a suit to school when he gives his report on Wednesday. gotta be convincing I guess . You have to give the report as if you were the president.

burn you bacon I hope you had the paint!!

Hey there YM! The movie was pretty good! Better than I was anticipating. I really like the Rock in movies! we all liked it!
Oh I hear you w/the ironing I'd rather just go buy new
Oh, I bet the strawberry shortcake was wonderful!!!
Yeah, I would be careful w/that much meds w/him too sounded like a lot to me too! I hope it does make him feel better though!!

hey there Donna! Glad you didn't have to sell Nathan good thing they changed the capital gains taxes that does make a big difference! Thankfully we were able to roll ours over. that is terrible they didn't give him an option though, he probably had to pay a penalty on top of that hopefully not since they didn't give him a choice
I prefer paying in though, that means I'm MAKING more

that is just TOO cute about the bb mom's youngest son and him signing his shirts

that is too awesome, I didn't know it wasn't an original I'll have to check them out! that sounds awesome!

Yeah...Carowinds sounds great!!

Thanks, Kenny loved the waffle!

 

[lindakmonty]

Hey there Lesa, hope you're enjoying hoggine Gracies sun spot

OMG can you believe how much they can grow so fast. Our neighbor across the street asked his wife who way playing in our yard, couldn't be Kenny, this kid is much taller it WAS Kenny

Good luck finding her clothes though !
Mikes best friend has 3 girls and I sent up a few garbage bags of my old clothes, I'm sure it'll be awhile before I'll be that size again, and by then, I'll want new anyway

The movie was great!

Oh I know what you mean about Dr's thankfully, this Dr. has been Mikes Dr. for like 25 years...he's very thorough and a great Dr. We all go to him. we have thought it might be side effects too though, but he said he'd rather be safe and just have him tested. It doesn't cost us anything anyway

I know what you mean, when I started on the Celebrex and Lyrica wow, that took some getting use too... I'd feel drunk sometimes like my speech was slurred my memory was just GONE I'd have to write things down right away or I'd forget, oh wait I'm still doing that I'd get confused easily....dizzy, tired...you name it. I'm feeling it this week since they doubled them too! I've been tired all week! But... I the side effects are much better than the pain and barely being able to walk....so, I guess I'll take it!

Well, its time to put the kiddo to bed. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!! Take care and I'll try to pop in tomorrow. I can't wait...I'm getting my hair chopped off tomorrow! I decided w/school I don't want to spend as much time on my hair, so its gotta go. I'm thinking about getting about 6-7" cut off Kenny is reading this last paragraph and says...BACKSPACE!! B/c going to bed and is looking at my hair saying...its going to be up to here now but, it will be much easier to take care of

take care and hope all is well! 2x, I hope that finger is better!!

Hi Michele and Maureen

 

[DonnaLeah]

Good morning, everyone!!

Sorry, but I am running a little late this morning. I did a Java update on my computer and that took too much of my DIS time.


I'll whip us us a bite to eat really fast and try to chat later this afternoon.

I know Michele hasn't felt well lately and french toast is her favorite.

I hope you all have a Magical Monday!

 

[lindakmonty]

thanks for a wonderful breakfast Donna!

I hope everyone is doing great!

Lesa, I'm sorry, I forgot to answer you! Yes of coarse Kenny is playing sports! Soccer starts in a few weeks and then baseball I'm sure.
