Hi guys! Well, another Friday has arrived and we are one week closer to our trip. This time two weeks from now I'll be furiously packing while the kids spend the night at Grammy & Papa's, hopefully blissfully unaware of our plans ;) . I finished the two shirts I planned for the girls, they came out great. I'll try to post a pic once I figure out how.

DD11s volleyball team is still undefeated and only 3 games left in the season. Unfortunately she'll miss thieir tournament at the end of the season because of our trip.

maiziezoe - Welcome Back! I'm kind of new around here but it's fun "meeting" new Disers from around here.

slo - I worked out today for the first time in weeks, a friend had a guest pass for a place in town called Courts Plus. I'm probably going to be sore in the morning but I liked it, unfortunately it's kind of pricey and I don't want to spend the $$ for a membership.

disneygal - I hope your sister got all moved in, she certainly had great weather for it.

Donna - :hug: and prayers for your SIL. My FIL starts his third round of chemo Monday, it is going to be the kind that makes his hair fall out, etc so it's going to be a rough go I think.
*Congrats on the permanent job, sounds great.

Bunchkin - the ring sounds beautiful, DH used to be much better at that kind of stuff but the last couple of years he's really slacked off.....will have to "remind" him.
*LTT will no longer have characters at dinner beginning in Jan. 2009 so this will be our last chance with them.
**We've been the past two years during the first week of June, it's pretty warm by then and more crowded last year than in 2006. There were daily showers in the afternoon but nothing too crazy. We're booked for June 17-23 and I'm expecting it to be more crowded since a lot of schools will be out by then.

disneydarling - Welcome! Hope you come to visit often, this is a very welcoming group.

momto1 - congrats on the savings, our flights have just gone up, up, up so no luck around here.
*I hadn't heard about the zoo, wow that would be pretty interesting if they were wandering around.

Well, I know I haven't gotten to everyone but DD11 just called and is ready to get picked up from a friends and DH is playing a game with the other two so I've got to run and get her.

Have a great night everyone! Will catch up tomorrow.
 
Good Friday Evening Everyone! :flower3: I had a very nice day off today. Hung out with mike a little this morning/afternoon then went over to my sister's to help her unpack some more boxes. :) i'll probably go over there tomorrow. Sunday my sisters and mike will be over for pierogis and cake for my bday!! I don't know where the years go... i feel like it was just yesterday i turned 10 (i was so excited to be in the double digits so it was a very special bday for me, lol). :laughing: hope everyone had a wonderful day and has a lovely weekend. i hear the weather is going to be great!:thumbsup2
 
Ok excuse me for a moment.

:eek:










no love for the brewers, eh............





irish dancer, are you staying on site at the motherland?

i would love to be able to catch up with you for a quick hi and bye when you are down there.
 

Mac I have been a Cub fan for my whole life so far. My grandmother started me off on the right track.:thumbsup2 I want to see the Cubs in a world series in my lifetime. pixiedust: pixiedust:

Alex has either picked up the cold I had earlier this week or one from school. He tells me everyone has one at school. Why can't they pass money instead of germs:rotfl:

My neighbors should be on their way home this weekend. They are driving. I'm sure their cat will be glad to see them.

Donna I heard the sox are doing well. I hope if it's a Cub/Sox series we can come out still friends :hug:

Slo How is the water by you has it gone down yet?
 
Hi Group!!!

I just found you and am thrilled to see other people in my "area" that like Disney! Most of our friends think we're CRAZY!!!!

Anyway...

We are the Smith's and we live in Aurora -- there is just me, my DH and our DD (8) :cutie:

I hope to get to know you all through here or in person sometime!

HUGS!
 
I have to make this a quickie today, because I need to get ready for work. I am putting out my sidewalk sale today, because the bank that's shares a parking lot with our plaza is having an event today, and I'm hoping people from their outdoor thing, will walk over to my store {{fingers crossed}}.


Crissup - I'm glad you had a good day off, and were able to get everything done you wanted to do:)

geffric - That's so nice that you can work from home:) . I wish Kevin could do that, so he didn't have to fight traffic as much as he does.

DMM - That's good that you won't have to move far. I understand what you mean about the big backyard ::yes:: When we looked for the house we are in now, I wanted a big backyard, and the house HAD to have a sidewalk in front. Thank goodness we found a house we love with those requirements:thumbsup2

Rose - Thank you for the invite!!! :)

momto1 - Congrats to your son on his 4th place win!!!!:cheer2:
**Yes the flooding around here was very tragic!!! I'm so glad that things are starting to go back to normal, but for others that had their homes ruined, things won't go back to normal for them, for quite some time - it's so sad!!!!:sad1:

ID - Congrats to your DD and her team!!!!:cheer2:
**Are you sore today? I didn't another TaeBo yesterday (a differernt one from before) that works alot on abs, and I'm a little sore today again.
**I hear ya about not wanting to pay big money to go to a gym - I"m the same way ::yes:: The firehouse has a small workout room, and I'm trying to get Kevin to start working out with me, and we'll do it there. I can't go by myself - it's not allowed by the town.
**How exciting that your trip is coming up:cool1: I'm getting excited about ours too, and in fact, the sign is going on the store today about being closed at the end of the month:thumbsup2

DG - I"m glad you had a good day off!!!
Happy early birthday!!!! :cake: :party:

Mac - :wave2:

HERSEY - I hope Alex feels better soon :wizard:
**The water has receeded almost entirely in our town. I'm not sure how things are in neighboring towns, I haven't been out and about much, either becasue I'm working, or becasue I don't want to deal with all the terrible traffic. :rolleyes:



Well, it's time to get ready for work
Have a great day today everyone!!!! :wave:

WELCOME!!!!!

Please come by often and visit - we would love to get to know you!!!!!!:goodvibes :goodvibes
 
Okay, who's going to WDW next? I need a favor! I bought those little people stickers for the window of mycar, but I only got one dog,since we only had one at the time. Can somebody pick one up for me? They are only $4 and you can mail them in an envelope. Thanks so much! Also, I was attempting to add my new Disney stuff on the car, deciding betweenmy two new antenna toppers when I realized- hello! I DON'T have an antenna! Also, my magnetic character decoration wouldn't stick bc I think my car has too much fiberglass. Grr!
Smith's- Hi and welcome. We don't like Disney around here...we love it!
slo- Being sore after a workout always makes me feel like I've accomplished something!
hersey- Yep, the colds are stating to circulate. Dh brought one here!
id- I still can't believe you're keeping the secret. You're good!
 
Good morning everyone

Well they did it finally. I'm so happy for the Cubs

GO

What a beautiful weather day yesterday today should be a good one too. I'm going to wash windows. Yes I know you all must be jealous of me.:rotfl2:

My neighbors got home early yesterday.Their cat was really mad at them. She was really good for me, but she some how moved her box spilling the litter on the floor. She must be stronger than she looks.:confused3

to all our new friends be sure to stop by often and chat with us.

Slo Did you get much traffic from your sidewalk sale? I hope so :hug:
 
Today is picture day for the girls.
I've been dragging my feet to get them to Sears for their birthday pictures, and I finally said, "NO MORE PROCRASTINATING!!!" so we are going today!!! Than after that we are going to go to Olive Garden for their Never Ending Pasta Bowl - I love that!!!!!:goodvibes Than we'll come home. Having Sophie now doesn't allow for much time away, which is good, because then I won't do any unneccessary shopping :thumbsup2


Alright - at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, what happened with The Cubs? :confused: I'm pretty certain they won a game, but was it a significant game? I'm not very into sports, so I don't know :blush:


paint - When Kevin went to WDW in March, he said they didn't have those stickers anymore:guilty: Mine are starting to look bad, so I wanted new ones, and he said they weren't there. I'm going to look again when I'm there, and if they have them, I will pick you up a dog, because I need a dog too :) You can give me your address when I come home.

HERSEY - Nobody came to the sidewalk sale, which shocked me, because it's not a far walk from the bank. We even put balloons out there to attract peoples attention. Oh well, we'll try again next weekend:thumbsup2

To everyone else - :wave2:




Well, I gotta run and get myself ready, so I can get the girls ready.
Have a great day today everyone!!! :wave:
 
Slo The Cubbie made the playoffs It's significant because they are back to back division champs for the first time in 100 years

That's too bad about no one coming down to see your store. :confused3

Thanks for explaining that.
Now when someone talks about it, I won't feel like an idiot for not knowing. Especially because my neighbors are having people over to watch the football game, and I know we'll be over there too eventually. They are big baseball people too, and I know they'll be talking about.

I thought it was so weird that no one came - so weird!!!!
I was going to hand cards out at the bank, but I didn't want to bother people, so I chose not to. Oh well, you win some, and you lose some. When you own a business, you get a thick skin real fast when it comes to having very slow days.
 
Morning everyone! It was a busy day yesterday! My mom went to the Cubs game, so we hung out with my dad!

We went to a huge rummage sale and I got some awesome stuff for my shop, we went to the Cosley Zoo, which I had never even knew existed in Wheaton and I went to high school there! hahahah!! And we topped it off with an early evening at Sonny Acres getting pumpkins to paint, going on a hay ride and getting some fresh veggies and fruits! Yum!!

Hope you all are having a good weekend!
 
Hi, all! Today is the official "last day of summer"...I hope we all can make the most of it!

Congratulations to all of you who are CUBS fans...it was a great accomplishment for them. Okay, that's all for the Cubs, now

:yay: :yay: GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!:yay: :yay:

Happy Sunday to all!:goodvibes
 
Yesterday was a good day!!

The girls pictures turned out great, and I spent way to much money $$$$. But, it's a special year with them turning 10 & 5, and I wanted to have the pictures to remember it.:)

Dinner at Olive Garden was yummy!!!!:goodvibes We both got the NeverEnding Pasta Bowl, and I ate way to much:upsidedow

Then we came home, and hung out at the neighbors for awhile. They were outside watching sports (they are always outside watching sports - it's there outside family room :teeth: ).

Today is starting out tired though, because I couldn't sleep last night. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep - it was very frustrating!! I didn't even get up to work out this morning - I was to tired, from not sleeping.

This is the week of premiers on tv - I'm so excited!!!!
As much as I don't love CSI Miami - I"m glad to have something new to watch.

I gotta run - have a good day!!! :wave:
