Hi All!

slo - I hope you guys have a GREAT trip!! Here's lots of PD for good weather and that your cold will be gone

Leigh - Welcome Back!! I'm glad you guys had a great trip overall but that luggage fiasco would have put me in a very bad mood too!!

DMM - congrats on the jewelry and I hope Roman's party goes well this weekend.

disneygal - we did Boo at the Zoo last year, it is cute to see all the kids out in costume. Hope you have fun!


The girls and I saw HSM3 this evening. The theater was not full and I was very surprised, thought it would be a madhouse. It was a good movie, not great but good, better than HSM2 I thought.

I'm off to St. Louis for the weekend for an Irish dance thing. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Will check in again on Monday!

 

[slo]

It's 3am, and here I sit on the computer
My day wouldn't start off right if I didn't say goodbye to my friends


Here's a big for Zicam.
My colds not gone, but I would definitly say it's better and on it's way to being gone. I'm eating a PopTart right now so I can take another one before we go, and I'll take them continusly during the day today. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be even better {{fingers crossed}}


Thanks for all the well wishes for my trip, and PD to help my cold go away - I love you guys!!!!!!


Well, I must finish my snack, and then jump into the shower. The limo will be here at 4:45am, and my biggest challenge is still ahead of me - getting the girls and up and ready Stephanie will be easy, because she'll be excited, but Katie will be a nightmare - she IS NOT a morning person at all


Have a great week guys, and I'll talk to you all next Sunday

 

[KimRaye]

Kim ~ that's a good amount of HSM3 this weekend! .... Well, hope Kelly and her friends have a good time today!

I agree! Lotsa HSM3 this weekend! I stayed awake the whole time tho this time. I had a tear or two in my eye because of the 'ending', but it truly ends 'happy', I guess. Kelly & her friends behaved IDEAL - during the movie, anyway! They were quiet and only took 3 bathroom breaks, 1 before and 2 during the movie, between the 2 guests. Kelly waited the WHOLE movie and then went RUNNING during the credits! Add a free refill and I still haven't seen the entire movie yet.

We went to the theatre that my DS, Matt, is a manager at, and his manager saw us and gave Kelly a bus shelter-size, 2-sided poster of HSM3, it's 4' X 50 or so inches - HUGE! I can wallpaper one of her walls with this thing! And, she gave all the girls a couple sheets of tatoos, like we got in L.A. last week. Very, very nice! Kelly loved sharing her 'premiere' stuff with her guests also - our premiere pass lanyards, her pom-poms, and popcorn buckets. I printed some stuff from Disney also to share with them - the Prediction List and Travel Set. They really seemed to LOVE it all!

One of the girls Dad's insisted on driving his daughter/following us to the movie. He didn't watch the movie with us, but he was waiting for us when we exited and had a pack of HSM3 trading card packs for each girl. Awww! Nice touch. He admitted he was clueless on the whole HSM-thing, but he managed to add some souvies for the girls. They began trading ASAP!

The movie, and night, as a whole -

Have FUN Sandy!!! I was typing when you posted - sorry!

Hoop Dee Doo Review @ Ft. Wilderness

Yes, Hoop Dee Doo. It's a dinner show that's performed three times a night. It's been going on since around the time WDW opened, I think. It has 6 actors (3 couples) and is very funny. (There were a couple of little kids who just cracked up at anything and everything throughout the whole show. ) They sing songs like "My Darling Clementine" and "She'll Be Coming 'round the Mountain". And the HDDR song is catchy. The food is fried chicken and BBQ ribs, salad, cornbread (yum!), mashed potatoes, beans, and strawberry shortcake. (All served family style.)

slo - I'm sure I've missed you, but have a great time on your trip!!!

I have a Halloween party to go to tonight. I'm going to be Raggedy Ann. I was going to try to make a wig, but I finally just bought one. It's too long today (and has ponytails), so I need to work on it today to get it more like RA's hair.

I'm also hopefully going to vote today. I do like the early voting! It would be really hard to fit it in on the actual day, since I work downtown.

 

[HERSEY]

Leigh You will make a great Raggedy Ann. Have fun!

My neighbors and I for the last couple of years get together for halloween party. This year we are doing a potluck I need to decide what I'm bringing. Since friday is a work day for me I need to get as much done ahead of time as possible.

Slo I hope Miss Katie surprised you and was in a good mood. Have a great time

Have a great all!

 

[disneygal922]

Good Saturday Morning Everyone! I broke the chain to my necklace I wear everyday so I need to go to the jewelry store and see if I can get a new one. I feel naked without it!

Crissup and Leigh ~ thanks for the info on Hoop dee doo. I can't believe I never heard about it. Sounds fun though!

Kim ~ glad to hear the movie outing was a success!

ID ~ have fun is St. Louis!

Slo ~ I'm sure you are probably half way to the motherland by now but hope your trip is safe and full of pixie dust!

Well, I hope the weather cooperates tomorrow for boo at the zoo... DN3 is going as Goofy and DN1 is going as Mickey! Well, I'm off to the mall. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

[Bunchkin]

HI all!!




We finally have a weekend were we don't have somewhere to go!!

We had our showing on Wed. night and it seemed to go well. The people really liked the house. Their agent is in the same realtor group as ours and they are friends. Our agent told us that our house is at the top of their list!! So we're hoping to possibly get an offer.
We did have an offer back in Sept. from another couple but we turned it down. I think they thought we were giving our house away!!
So everyone, please keep your fingers crossed for us!!!




Donna I forgot to say that I'm glad your son's girlfriend is still improving! Is she at home recovering? I wish her well!
Thanks for the concern about my father in-law.


slo Sorry I wasn't around to send you off with a proper goodbye!!! Have a great trip!!!


disneygal Have fun at the zoo!!! We took the kids last weekend and it was great!!! The weather was just perfect for it too.


Leigh Sorry to hear about the trouble with your suitcases! BUmmer!! We would have been really peeved too! We love, love, love HDDR!!!!
Have fun at the party tonight!! So are you meeting Raggedy Andy there???



Kim Huge HSM week for Kelly!! I'm not sure when Lauren wants to see it. She was kind of disappointed in HSM2.


Hersey That cake sounds really yummy!!! I haven't been to PH Changs yet! I need to find someone to go there with since I'm the only one here who will eat that type of food!


irish dancer Have fun in St Louis!!


DMM Have fun at Roman's party!!



Gotta run! It's almost time for lunch and the kids are acting like they haven't eaten in days!!

 

[HERSEY]

Good sunny morning!

I feel sort of lazy today, but as usual I've have to much to do to give in.

Bunch Maybe in a couple of weeks we could meet up a PF Changs there is one near Oakbrook. I forget about your crew not liking Chinese.
Hope your house sells soon.

Well I must get back to the laundry some people need clothes. I keep offering to show how the machine works but magically everyone disappears

America's Thrillmakers: Walt Disney World
This fascinating study of the rides at Florida's Walt Disney World
focuses not on the mechanics involved, but rather on the thought and
imagination behind the attractions and participants' reactions to
them. Designers talk about how they dream up the state-of-the- art
rides, and testers take a spin---as do cameras, for a vicarious
thrill. Also examined is the setup preceding each one that's meant to
subliminally prep patrons as they wait in line. Rides include the
Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Test Track, Splash Mountain,
Dinosaur and Mission: Space.
