Hey all. Just got in from work. The puppy is here!!!!!
He's so cute. He was sleeping next to DD and both of them were sitting in his little bed.
He's not very active tonight. Wonder if it's just been a big day. He did get shots last night, too. I think he misses his dog family. Hope he sleeps tonight. Especially since I have to get up at 5am again tomorrow.
Later all.
Happy Birthday mvazul!!! I remember the 35th, and the 36th and the .....
Mac and Hersey, get well.
Jedi, I may go to the library Monday and just see what I can find for that stock in 1989. My mom thinks that is when they got it. At least it is something. Thanks again for the idea.
This is the place to come for answers!!!!
Hi Rose

 

[roseprincess]

Hi Tiggerrn
Glad all is going well with the puppy!
What's his/her name and do you have a pic of him/her?


Mac- you probably have the intestinal bug that I had 2 weeks ago.
Hope you feel better pretty soon!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Hiya Rose.
Puppy's name is Tigs.
I will try to get a picture of him here on Monday. Too tired tonight and have to work 12 hours again tomorrow.
Going to bed now as well.

hersey: i left the light on for you all night.
when i woke up this morning, only the cat was in bed with me.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

did get up this morning at 11:30 to make a run to the post office but came home and back to bed. think i have some sort of intestinal bug. i'm sure it will run its course and i should be better soon. thank you for the well wishes.

I hope you didn't go to the post office just for me. I really appreciate you sending me the brochures, but I feel bad you went out sick. Glad you're feeling better.

 

[macraven]

i promised to mail out some brochures and i had to go out saturday for that.
it's not a big deal.

i wasn't wearing my pajamas on this run out yesterday.
i had on real clothes.


let me know when they arrive.


can anyone else here think of some can't be missed site seeing events for tarheel when she comes to chicago this summer?

she and her family are chicago virgins.
it's all new territory for them.

 

[macraven]

slo, i just reread your post.
kevin excels in making breakfast......


eh, do you live that far from me, or would the food be cold by the time i got it....

 

[HERSEY]

Mac I was just coming by to clean your house.

tarheelmjfanI was searching on the net Citypass seems to be the most ecomical way to see the city http://www.citypass.com/city/chicago.html or http://www.gochicagocard.com/ I don't get downtown much and if I do I usually go to Navy pier I love to eat a Bubba gump and wander while munching cinnamon almonds . Navy pier is a great place to walk and walk and walk.

 

[geffric]

Greetings.. WOW what a beautiful weekend.. I did lots of errands, and cleaning and laundry and cooking and some stuff for me too.. Wish the whole year could be like this..

 

[Debbie6221]

It was wonderful today. I hope you all enjoyed it. I am hoping everyone in my house is on the mend. We went outside for some long needed fresh air!!!!

Side note...I feel so bad I told my Dear Cousin to post on the DIS (start a thread) and for her first post she stated her son would be turning two on the first day of their trip(thinking this was the age to begin paying). She asked if it would be terrible to not pay yet and the poor girl totally got flamed! She was so sad. I feel so bad and I still can't believe people actually will yell at people on these threads! It surprises me everytime. Instead of telling her that the age to begin paying is actually three they told her she had no morals and that her son would obviously grow up to be a diliquent! YIKES! She deleted the post best she could to put a stop to the madness!

 

[Bunchkin]

Debbie Sorry to hear about what happened to your cousin!
I can't believe some people!
And since her son would be turning 2, what's the big deal anyway???
They could have just stated the age a child has to pay is 3 and then left it at that.
You should tell her to stop by here and we'll give her a warm welcome!!

 

[Debbie6221]

I should have her stop by here! She's sweet! I felt bad for her.

 

[Bunchkin]

Remember how we were all talking about a DVC store opening in Woodfield this summer???

I just found this on Disney's web site in the job opening section:

Hi all-
Had a good time today with our casual early birthday party for Chrissy and Matthew with our good friends The kids got the Peter Pan DVD and a couple of other items for their birthday
We had a blast today at McDonald's playland chatting with our good friends

Hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather

Debbie- sorry to hear about what happened to your cousin on her thread Unfortunately the meanness factor can happen just about any thread on the Disboards as I have seen the meanness factor on threads. I let people that are mean just slide down my back and not let it get to me. Hopefully your cousin can do that, too.

Bunchkin- cool!

Anyone applying for the DVC job at Woodfield? Just asking...

Geffric- how did your DS's do at the Dells? Did they have a good time?

Mac- glad you're feeling better

Tarheel- sightseeing in Chicago: maybe take in a Wendella boat ride that tours the Chicago river, the lock system, and the lake.Tour the Sears tower or Hancock building. Of course, the museums:Science and Industry, Field Museum. Art Institute. Shopping on Michigan Ave.

Slo- glad Kathy from FD wives thread is doing better

Hey, anyone notice my ticker to Hershey Park? First time I have had a ticker here, as last summer we didn't really go on vacation.

Have a good evening. Lights out.

 

[slo]

Wasn't the weather yesterday wonderful?!?!
The girls were outside from 10:30am until 6:30pm. They even ate their lunch outside. They really needed the fresh air.

Stephanie is on spring break this week, so we don't have to rush as much this morning. I still have to go to work, but the rush factor is still not there




macraven - I'm glad you are feeling better
**I do think breakfast will be cold by the time you got here (I'm about 2 1/2 hours away from you). But I can always put it in the microwave when you got here

tarheel -

HERSEY - I've never had cinnamon almonds at Navy Pier. Do you buy those at the same cart that you buy cashews? I'll have to try those.

geffric -

Debbie - I'm so sorry to hear how your cousin got flamed Some people are so so so mean!!!! I agree with Nicole - tell her to come here and join us, where she'll be welcomed with open arms

Bunchkin - Thanks for the info on the DVC Store. I'll be curious to see what it's like after it opens.

Rose - I"m glad you had a good time at your children's b-day party
**Congrats on your ticker - how exciting!!!!!




Well, I gotta run and get ready for work

[geffric]

Morning..

end of the qtr so I am swamped.. but got to enjoy the weather yesterday. The boys loved the Dells. Had a great time , they did the Ducks and an upper Dells boat ride and the the next day went to Mt Olympus water park plus. They had a wonderful time and didn't get home last night until 8 pm.

Debbie - I'm so sorry to hear how your cousin got flamed. There is no reason for that at all.. next time sent her here and we will help.

Rose Glad you had a good time at your children's b-day party and ongrats on your ticker .. hope you have a great time at Hershey park.

Bunchkin,, thanks for the DVC info.. wonder what kind of perks come with that job..maybe i should apply??

 

[Bunchkin]

Howdy!!

I wish it could be this weather all year long!!

Yesterday was quite busy for us. Went shopping, lunch, saw the TMNT movie, then more shopping.


slo Hope Stephanie has a nice spring break. Are you doing anything out of the ordinary while she's off?


gerrfic If you look at Disney's site in the jobs section, they have a sales postion open as well for that DVC store. You are in sales, right?
Maybe that would be up your alley.


Rosemarie Congrats to you on going to Hershey Park. We've considered going there several times....especially after watching a special on the Travel Channel about the park. I would love to do one of their chocolate spa packages!!!

Hello everyone.

Haven't posted a lot lately due to demanding work schedule. My boss' wife had a baby boy last week and he was trying to get a lot done before taking his "paternity" leave. I love when guys do that. I was totally on board and when he left last Wednesday, I could tell he felt comfortable about being gone for a couple weeks.

So, today, is a good day, even though I'd rather be at home or outside enjoying the weather.

Yesterday was a mix of good and bad for me. I took Megan and her friend to the park yesterday and near the end of the visit, I felt a migraine coming on. So, from about 2:00 to about 6:30 p.m., I was pretty much down for the count on the couch. Megan is so sweet though, she made me a card and she drew the both of us at Cinderella's Castle and it said Feel better soon Mommy. It made me tear up, but I couldn't cry cause it would have hurt too much. I think I did something right with this little girl because she just has a huge heart!!

However, I fell asleep for a while and when I woke up the pain was gone although the fog was still there. So, I got a bit of the evening to sit out on my deck and breathe in some nice air.

I think I brought the migraine on myself by trying read at the park. I just think sitting there with my head crooked down and the bright white pages and focusing on the text. I had sunglasses on, but I don't think it helped enough. So, next time I go to the park, no reading.

So, now I feel a bit robbed and may have to just go out for a walk at lunch time. The cat's away, so the mouse is heading out!!

I have to go back and read and catch up.

Good morning all-
My kids are on spring break this week.

Thanks Slo, geffric, and bunchkin for the good wishes for I and my family's upcoming Hershey Park trip in June I know it isn't Disney, but very close to it in my standards. We will be driving there. Actually my DH says he actually looks forward to driving there and back We haven't driven out that way before, so it will hopefully be a pleasant adventure.
We are sooo looking forward to this trip!! I booked a non-Hershey owned hotel for a few nights - about 5 to 10 min from Hershey Park. Got pretty good rates compared to staying at the Hershey-owned hotels, resorts.

Bunchkin- yeah, I have been getting the Hershey chocolate spa email advertisements for awhile. The spa looks nice!

SamIAm- was wondering what happened to you thought maybe you and your family were on spring break or you were very busy at work or something. Glad you are feeling better from your migraine. I get those sun-induced migraines once in a while in the summer. Not fun.

Hi to all

Have a nice day everyone
