soooooo Michele with the dancing bananas, do you go nuts with a few in ya???

It's been so long since I've had a drink, I probably would!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Pain, i get the best info on LOSt and what i missed and spoilers sometimes and what i just didn't understand right here on the DIS! it's amazing what these people see and put together!!!

HAHAHH i like the DORA transfers to make your own thong!!! since i'm partial to the Secret Embrace from VS, i will just put a DORA on them! could you imagine!! tooooo funny!!!!

 

[disneymama73]

Hey, you could use the Dora transfer to make your own thong!
Just call me Martha Stewart.

I can see it now. Michelle's thong that says...

SWIPER NO SWIPING!

They changed the name of Fox Valley Mall?! I didn't know that. Louis Joliet Mall is a Westfield now, too.

Field Museum...they'll probably change the name of that, too. Macy Museum.

OK...I KNOW I live under a ROCK but I never even put 2+2 together with the Field Museum & Marshall Field's!!!!! I just thought it was called the Field Museum because it dealt with nature.

AND it will FOREVER be "Fox Valley Mall" to me too (also been know to shorten it to Fox Valley as in "it's out by Fox Valley")

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Paint have a good one!!!

Michele, i was soo tippy after just one long Island about 5 months after i had Gabriel, since i didn't drink all throughout and waited that long i didn't know what hit me!!

 

[disneymama73]

Okay. Gotta go supervise. The kids went outside!
Later!

Hi all!
Quick hello before I head home. Busy busy day, but tomorrow I should be able to focus on important things such as finalizing everything for DISNEY! I got my limee green mickeys last night (alien green-hope that was right) and have started to pack up the daypack. Tonight is laundry and finishing packing!

I'm 5'1" so I feel your pain shorties! Its so hard to find a pair of pants that fits!

Sorry your DS hit his head Tracy. Hope hes ok.

Michelle your children are so adorable! Great pics!

Hi to the newbies! Come back soon!

Reminder that the cutoff for Wicked tickets is tomorrow by noon. After that I will not be able to accept any more ticket requests. Its getting to be a big group (28 s far) and I may max out my credit card on this, so anyone who can send me a check before the event would be rewarded with a big hug!

Hi all Chicago friends! Talk to you soon!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I can see it now. Michelle's thong that says...

SWIPER NO SWIPING!

OMG!!! i just lost it!! I have sleeping kids here and i am DYING LAUGHING!!! TEARS are coming out!! tooooo funny!!!

what makes it funnier is that DH is dying to get a Swiper T-shirt for himself......

OMG....i need to use the rest room!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Later Michele!!!

I was a smarty and put the croc on for chicken and veggies while we were gone!!! now the house smells like i've been cooking all day and dinner is ready whenever we all sit down!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Mindy Alien green is right!!! 28 is a huge number! who all is going??????

Where do you find pants??? you looked a lot taller when we met!

 

[Princess Mindy]

Cool-there were so many greens I wasn't sure!

I had my tall shoes on when I met you! It gives me a little boost. But I really am quite short. I have a couple pairs of lee, a couple capris that are long enough to wear as regular pants and basically just whatever I have found that fits. I don't shop excusively one brand. But I found my last 2 pairs at kohls and have been pretty happy there. used to shop at New York and Company. They had a great jeans line before they changed it a couple years ago. Now its geared towards tall skinny girls, like most other places are too. Its annoying.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

AUGHH!@!! iw as wondering if anyone noticed that!! i too LOVED NEW YORK and Company!!! they were FABULOUS!!! i used to spend a lot of $$ there, and then poof the good pants were gone i love that the crop style is in right now, b/c i'm finding my pants that way!

I need to find a Levi Store so that i can just splurge and have at least 2 pairs custom made for me.

Back in the day EXPRESS used to have a EXTRA short length and then POOF they were gone too! i was told that there was not enough demand for them SOOO BUY LESS of them to stock the store with!?!? makes sense to me oh well...

Hi, everyone!

Paintnolish - sorry to hear about DS. Hope his noggin is better

DisneyMommy - Crocs sandals at Hallmark? And how do you know Target is bringing out their Halloweenie merchandise Sep 3 - you must have asked an employee

Kimmumum - welcome! So, are you going to the Frankfort Fall Festival, since you live there? (I've been mentioning it on this thread - I want to go badly this year but I don't think I'll make it out there)

 

[eeyore45]

Hi I'm Sandy, mom to 3 kids, married 25 years this year - celebrating in Disney in... 23 days!!

I PM Mindy about the Wicked Meet - and I posted on that thread - so I guess now I"m trying to... engratiate (I know that cant be spelled right, but I didnt think the dis would allow the s word that rhymes with truck!!) myself to the group going - and at least introduce myself to reassure y'all we're not "axe murderers" or "Figments" of your imagination... (as has been reported by my mom whenever I talk about meeting someone from the internet!!)

dd is now questioning me, so call me officially interrupted - hope to post more later...

 

[Bunchkin]

Hi and Eeyore45!!!
Glad to hear you're going to see Wicked with us!!!!

Don't let the masses of pages that are zoomed through here lately scare you away from visiting!!!

 

[disneymama73]

They had a great jeans line before they changed it a couple years ago. Now its geared towards tall skinny girls, like most other places are too. Its annoying.

 

[disneymama73]

Eeyore45! Glad you're joining us for WICKED!

 

[Bunchkin]

Michelle I will stick up for you when I can!! And can I say you are our thread's official shop-aholic!!!

paintnolish I hope your son is feeling better after his fall!!!!

Jedi HI!!!

Mindy Good luck with all your packing!!!!
Just my opinion here:
I would suggest a cut off number so you don't risk over charging your card. Are you charging through the box office or Ticketmaster??? I'm sure there will be processing fees, or are they all ready added to what you told us the total was??
I would send an PM to everyone going with their total due, your address and phone number if they have any questions. I would consider mailing everyone's ticket out to them when you receive them, so that if someone is late or doesn't make it they will have their tickets so others can go sit and find their seats.



Added to say: If you are using a credit card, I'm sure you don't want to pay out of your pocket to pay it off when the bill comes or get charged finance fees. I would have everyone pay you prior to the event!!!
PRIOR to your cc bill being due!!!
