I'm taking a break from studying before I make some lunch for Katie.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone - I appreciate it!!!

macraven - Sending lots of hugs and PD your way. I am so sorry that you are feeling so poorly. We love you, and when you need to talk, we are always here for you!!!

Well, I better go and make some lunch. Have a good rest of the day!

 

[jedi_librarian]

Hi, everyone!

Mac - you're very welcome for the information. I figured you know a lot of that stuff, but it never hurts to get more information (I'm a librarian-I LOVE having lots of information ) I hope you're feeling better by Monday - sheesh, I SURE hope you're better by then! Relax this weekend, and I'll see you next Sat

Sandy - I'm so happy to hear the good news about your results

Yep - I was able to tag along with a coworker friend of mine with her family to go to GA for the company outing

 

[SamIAm21]

Hey all! Happy Friday!!

Slo: Congratulations on the great news! Now, take the Dr.'s advice and "destress" and relax! I know you are relieved, so enjoy the feeling!!

roseprincess - Congratulations to Matthew on his winning poem!

Well, it looks like the weather is going to be sort of blah this weekend. I love fall, but it doesn't need to rush!

It's been very quiet here at work all week, so I think I'm going to leave a bit early today. Megan has a soccer game tonight and it got pushed ahead by a 1/2 hour, making it even more imperative that I get home on time!

Have a good weekend everyone! I'll try to check in over the weekend!

 

[roseprincess]

Mac-prayers and PD for you. Hope you are feeling better

 

[scrappinmom]

TGIF ! The first week of school is done!!! yippee! WOW do I have one tired first grader - Had Brownie bridging, which went great, came home, I got a diet coke sat down to DIS a bit, & she's sound asleep on the floor in the tv room!

Sandy - That's GREAT news! Do youjusthave to get a pap every 6 months?

Mac - I'm sorry you're still feeling so bad. Don't apologize for talking about it or for feeling bad about it! I just hope it gets better soon

Roseprincess- That's really cool about Matthew's poem...I hope he has fun with the whole process

Tomorrow is opening day for soccer season here...hopefully Miss 1st grader will get enough sleep...& then tomorrow night....

It's HOOTIE time!!! All 4 of us are going to Ravinia to see my favorite band..Hootie & the Blowfish...I can't wait...give me a bottle of wine and a big hunk o cheese!!

 

[HERSEY]

scrappinmom I know just how your daughter feels. I could fall asleep right now,But alas I can't. The good thing about being young is that you bounce back quickly. I hear old people take a long time to rest up. hopefully they don't bounce.

Sorry really long week. One more person who asks when the calendar year starts and ends I think I'm going to scream. Calendar year repeat after me January 1 to December 31.

 

[geffric]

Hang in there, Mac! Vertigo is the WORST!

yes I hope your feeling a bit better this evening. and definitely by tomorrow..

DMM and Jedi how GA? What rides did you go on?

HAve fun at Hootie - scrappinmom

I was supposed to be scrapping but we had an attitude issue so every one is home sulking..

 

[paintnolish]

Jedi and DMM- I hope you guys had fun! It was an awesome night out! Did you go on Raging Bull? That is one of my faves!
Rose- I hope your son wins that contest. That is wonderful!
scrappin'- Have fun at Hootie. I saw UB40 there a looong time ago.
hersey- Old people don't bounce. They break. I should not say that. Calcium? Who needs that when you've got Diet Coke, right?
geffric- I am getting ready to start scrapping our last trip. Uploading photos now. Then I just have to start choosing from the hundreds!
mookie-I am new-ish here and just wanted to say

Nothing too exciting here today. I sat at Starbucks for a few hours this afternoon, reading some school stuff. Then we went to BK for dinner bc ds "needed" an Avatar toy! Now they are in bed, earlier than ususal. It could be my pms, but they were driving me nuts. Ahh...peace and quiet!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Hope all goes well at your seminar tomorrow. You are probably going to be at McDonald's corporate. There is a certain name of a building they do training at, can't remember the name of it. I was at a church conference once over there, at McDonald's corporate campus in Oak Brook. The conference was a few yrs back.
DMM might know the name, I think her mom works at McD's corporate?

Yes this is where I was. What a place. Who knew Hamburger University was a real place. And a real nice place at that. Seminar was good. Lunch was awesome. Drinks all day whatever we wanted. Chocchip cheesecake with choc. syrup and cocoa with a vanilla/choc. candy stick as garnish!! for dessert. I'll attend another seminar there, for sure.
OK going back to read now.

 

[Tiggerrn2]

OK back again.
Slo so glad to hear your good news. I know that takes a huge weight off your shoulders.
Macraven-sure hope your dizziness eases up and you feel better soon. Lots of prayers and good thoughts to you. My friend from England suffers from Menier's as well. She just feels terrible when a spell hits her.
Rosemarie-good luck to your son. It's great when kids get involved in literary stuff when they are young. Exciting for him.
DMM-Your box of tapes should be to you early next week. Hope they arrive safe and sound. Hope you and Jedi had a great day at GA. Your mom works in a lovely place. Not hard to work there, I'll bet.
Had a great Disney week here. Packages arrived from DisShopping. Luggage (which, FYI, was supposed to be sage green and looks more like pea soup), kids backpacks and lunchboxes, DD Belle costume and accessories. AND today the envelope arrived with our ME tags. Great week. Oh, DH asked what other colors the luggage came in and suggested I return and trade I just told him at least we'd know which were ours.

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Off to bed. Not too many green lights on tonight. Hi Paint!!! I see your light on. Work 12s all weekend. Kids are supposed to have soccer tomorrow AM. DH will be taking them. First games for each. Hope they don't get rained out. Check back with you all tomorrow.
OH-Ticker down to 1 month. Should be reverting to days tomorrow.
Nighty night!!

 

[scrappinmom]

ok about to admit my super dorkness.... I thought Jedi & DMM were meeting in GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope great america was fun! what a great day for it

 

[slo]

Good Saturday morning everyone!!!

Yes I'm up super early on a Saturday . Stephanie has a 9:30am soccer game this morning. It's suppossed to rain, so hopefully we'll get the game in before any of that rain starts.

She's a little nervous about her game today because she's playing with older kids this year. With these kids (especially the boys) being older, they are alot bigger than her. I hope one of these boys don't accidentally kick her across the field - she's so tiny next to them .

Thanks to everyone for their continued happiness for me about my test results

Jedi - That's great you were able to go to GA yesterday. I hope you had fun

Sam - I hope Megan had a good soccer game yesterday.

scrappinmom - Have fun at your concert tonight

HERSEY - Isn't it funny the questions people can ask you. I get a lot of goofy questions from my customers too .

geffric - I hope everyone's done sulking today. We have alot of those times at our home too How's your new Kitty doing?

paintnolish - I love peace and quiet - that's why I DIS so early in the morning

Tiggerrnnn - We just got new luggage for the girls that is a color we'll definitly know is ours - they are bright hot pink. They are bright, but they are so cool!!!! I'm glad you had a good week!!!

To everyone else - Hi there!!!


I'm off and running - have a good day today everyone!!

 

[HERSEY]

Tiggerrn2 That sounded like a awful place. How dare they make you eat chocochip cheesecake w/syrup and a candy stick all by yourself. You some of your Dis buds to help.

Funny how I zero in on that when so many other things were said.

Sandy I but your sleep has gotten better. I don't sleep well when I'm waiting for news. I am soo happy for you
I hope Stephanie shines today

scrappinmom At first I thought the same thing I guess we will keep one another company in dork univ.

It sounds like tomorrow is not going to be a good Chicago day. I think a big pot of soup and go to the Library for a good book is in order.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Ditto to all of the above!!! Just need to add, I hope the vertigo issues pass quickly. And, congrats to Matthew on the poetry contest. Take care, everyone....

Hi, everybody. Still trying to keep up! By the time I get an email notification there's a new post, there's THREE PAGES of new posts. LOL. I don't know how you all do it!

Thanks for the info about MouseSurplus -- and the link to Mice Age. I was very excited to read that there are plans to link PhotoPass to the ride photos. I was hoping for that!

 

[eeyore45]

great news sandy. i was praying for you.


hello to all my chicagoland homies.

want to say mucho gracious carmen for the emails on meniere's disease.
i know a lot about it but you had a few things that i was not aware of.
thank you ever so much.

my head is still spinning since my last attack started some days ago.
this is not the right time for me to be incapacitated. i have to drive one son bri to ohare at 5am monday morning. he is moving to mexico.
i have to drive........i have to improve.

rosemarie, meniere's is not fatal or contagious. it is when the fluid in the middle ear keeps sloshing around. when that happens, horrible vertigo and vomiting happens. looking at the computer screen makes me spin more ..

and you all thought i was just another dizzy blonde........yup, i am!!

ativan helps the vertigo but last time it took 3 days of meds to calm it down. i am on day 2 now so i hope relief is in sight.

remember me in your prayers please.

i know some of you said you know what vertigo is all about.
so, i know you understand how the computer screen keeps that motion going. and the tinnitus is in both ears now.

sorry to yak about myself. i think i am at a low point right now and can't concentrate on much else but self pity.

sorry. don't mean to be a downer ..
hope you all have a very good day. i hear it will be sunny and warm today.

Thank you so much for posting, and sharing.... I've been realizing I am having symptoms of vertigo!! I thought I was crazy. I talked to my doctor, and he says I could even have exercise induced vertigo (that sloshing effect!!) I AM NOT CRAZY!!

I seriously have been having the worst self esteem issues!! Just trying to get "up" for my Disney vacation (I so need a vacation) So of course I'm trying to get "fit" loose a few... but I kept getting "sick" real dizzy, and yep, yuck...

I also started working as a perm. sub - currently subbing for a one on one aide position yet to be filled for an autistic child that I do know, and love - - but they just started at the jr hi, and I cant keep my mouth SHUT - (I tend to defend the kids, my job is to sit and follow, and SHUT UP - never have learned that skill btw!!)

So, I havent been online, and when I do, I read, but just dont have enough energy to post!!

Thank you all for letting me come in, and visit!!

(oh and PS Slo on your news!! )

 

[Sk8Leigh]

scrappinmom - I thought it was Georgia too, at first, esp. since I'm from Georgia.

Hi, everybody. Still trying to keep up! By the time I get an email notification there's a new post, there's THREE PAGES of new posts. LOL. I don't know how you all do it!

One thing to check, is that the e-mail notifications might not be coming right away. Mine weren't, and I finally just put them all on no e-mail. So I just go to my subscription page to see what's new. I don't trust the e-mail anymore, they haven't been right for me in months! That might help you keep up.

 

[latharia]

If I was in the habit of checking the DISboards every day, that would help! LOL. I've already got so many listgroups & boards, it's hard to keep up. You all just seem like such fun folks, I can't help but try to stay on top of what you're all up to. I have no kids, so nothing to chime in on, on that account, but sometimes your stories crack me up.

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Eeyore 45 sure hope you're feeling better soon.
Just stopping in to say hello.
In the 20s. Ticker changed!!!!!
