And you STILL BEAT ME TO IT...probably because I was answering your post to me and the picture came up at the same time.

 

[tankgirl427]

Good morning, tank! I have to say I laughed when I saw your post right before mine. I thought "she would have beat me to the picture today."

Ann, you get more points for your answers on my pic today.

I just got bored playing games on facebook so I came over to see if there were any fun posts to read and saw that Ann was on yours, so I just hung around. I need to work a little more on my speed typing. LOL!

First, you two crack me up.

She would be so cute in that dress. Fact is she'd be cute in a paper bag.

Hope last night was better for you!

Thanks so much. I will find something... but that is just about EXACTLY what I am looking for.

What a shame it doesn't come in Zoe's size--it is a very pretty dress.

How is Miss Zoe doing today?

She is doing better today, thank you. As for the dres... I know I was so disappointed.

Good morning, tank! I have to say I laughed when I saw your post right before mine. I thought "she would have beat me to the picture today."

and she did...

Ann, you get more points for your answers on my pic today.

Very cool!

I am sorry...she got there...just a bit ahead of you. I am sure you can pull a point or two off that pic still though.

And Zoe is looking movie star like in her awesome glasses while enjoying the music from the fountain and her drink.

I'm a little late, but I believe that is the Fountain of Nations. Zoe is drinking a soda from Club Cool, but I doubt it's the Beverly, unless she's using that bottle of water to wash it down.

The heck with my PTR...I'll just hang out here with all the fun people.

 

[tankgirl427]

Its way more fun here than working!

I wonder where Kira is during this photo? Maybe shopping in Mousegears? This is the same day as the jungle gym photo where no one is quite sure what type or where the jungle gym is. Zoe and Alex are wearing the same clothes, maybe they went to Club Cool after the jungle gym to get some refreshments. LOL

 

[swwake]

OH, and that dress is GORGEOUS. I hope you can find something similar to fit Zoe for the tea.

Ok so for being so detailed in your description of what is happening in the pic... a point for you.

I think Kira was still in Club Cool. (She was quite thrilled with the place) As for the gym... I asked Kira. It was where I thought... not in WS but in FW. It was kinda in that walkway between the Ellen show/ride and TT

Thanks! I am sure I will find something

I know... I have way too much to be hanging out on Dis.. but Oh well...

In the interest of being fair, I only count 3 points

I think you should keep the four points for being honest.

I think I was thinking of a point for the Beverly too.. but then couldn't remember if she in fact was drinking the strawberry OR if she DID have the Beverly in hand and was sipping it.

Points have been tallied already though..so..

I think you should keep the four points for being honest.

I agree, Kathy!

You would be surprised at what they have or have not suggested. Her doc is one of only a small handful in the entire country that are experts when it comes to the birth defect that Zoe was born with. Yet.. I did have her on cranberry pills for a while. Thanks for reminding me of them. That might be just what we need.

As for the flight change, yes... DME will still get the bags. This was the EXACT one I was hoping for...so when I saw that it was the right price (I did have to pay $23 total more per fare.. but it is so worth it to me not to miss out on time with the guys on the 10th..not to mention that was the only other time I could fit the tea in that there were spots available.

Oh she has been on that? Okay so I don't feel too silly for asking it then because I reminded you!

I'm glad that you finally got the flight that you really wanted and that extra time with family is a plus! Yeah I remembered you needed ME because you wlil have a lot of bags with just you and zoe!

I love the lion King! My son has the VHS and watches it sometimes before going to bed so we aren't going to do a movie night for that movie. But out of curiosity.... did you mean a hotdog on a bun?

the dress is really cute, too bad that they don't have her size, have you tried Etsy.com? They have some pretty reasonable prices and some cute stuff and some of it is even custom made so you can make sure that you do get her size!

Oh the picture makes all of your readers crack me up!

 

[shocky5]

Caught up again! Loved the pics and the funny comments from everyone! Just what I needed today!

Ann - I hope Zoe is feeling better!

on the flight changes! I'm considering seeking an earlier flight on our day we fly to WDW... right now we are arriving in the evening but that was when we were wanting the kids to finish the school semester... NOW that they will be a couple of days short... what's one more, right???
Still need to talk to DH about that though...

No, don't feel silly!!! It was helpful

I'm glad that you finally got the flight that you really wanted and that extra time with family is a plus! Yeah I remembered you needed ME because you wlil have a lot of bags with just you and zoe!

Yep...lots of bags. I got the bright idea that since I could check 2 bags and Zoe could check 2 bags, we could take the guys luggage. Now they will be there to haul it into the airport.

I love the lion King! My son has the VHS and watches it sometimes before going to bed so we aren't going to do a movie night for that movie. But out of curiosity.... did you mean a hotdog on a bun?

Yep... just trying to be silly. I really didn't do much of anything for the meal. The last couple we have decorated a bit or really themed the food... This time it was all I could do just to call a hot dog a slug.

the dress is really cute, too bad that they don't have her size, have you tried Etsy.com? They have some pretty reasonable prices and some cute stuff and some of it is even custom made so you can make sure that you do get her size!

I have looked a bit on etsy but found anything I really liked to be more than I am wanting to spend. Who knows though... I might "expand" my budget for it a bit. I really want a fancy tea length dress for her that has sleeves. I don't know... maybe as halloween approaches I will just find a costume I like. After all.. the dress she has from last year is probably the one she will wear to BBB.

I kinda went into the planning with a bad attitude toward school. December is such an iffy month and I figured that they would miss some school. Course, now I am learning that school won't let out until we get back. (yes, we get back only days before Christmas) So... I am still keeping my bad attitude. I will just have to get it cleared with the schools. Zoe will be easy. Alex would have been harder had I chose to keep him in the local public school... but as of today I started the paperwork to pull him again and have him do the K12 curriculum. So.. even though attendance still counts, I bet we can work something out much easier.

I thought I would share with you what I have learned.

First, I am not sure if I mentioned. Our copay went up on hospital stays a few months ago. It was 0... and now it is $500. Each admit could count... 3 admits and hence 3 copays. So this is not HORRIBLE... but the good news is 2 things. One, the insurance will not hold us accountable for the 3rd copay since the discharge and readmit are so close together. So now we are down to 2 copays. When I called on it today I was told 2 things. One, that the insurance is still pending on the actual surgery. In the amount of $99000 and 2 that when I brought up my mixed feeling on the total of 2 copays, the rep stopped me and said "wait, you mean that you were in for a surgery that was canceled and had it not then you would have only had one copay?" He then told me not to make a payment on the amount because he wanted to talk to someone about this. He said "fair is fair". Ok, so I might only have 1 copay.

Now onto that surgery cost. Thank God we have not had anything change in coverage for that. We have it covered at 100%!! I mean, if the insurance had even changed to an 80/20 coverage on it (which in today's insurance climate...it always could) we would be looking at roughly $20k

I am feeling pretty blessed. Now if only the company that Steve works for would release the half of his paycheck that they withheld. They said they were not going to since a. the VP of the company had also ok'd Steve's working from home and b. Steve still had disability available to him. Course, if they don't we are still blessed and ok since Steve cashed out a chunk of stock the day before it crashed. It was up to a high point...highest in like the last six months... the day after he cashed it out... it fell to less than half he cashed it out for.

Zoe is not even involving me much with her "potty process" She is doing so well. (yes, except for the pain/infection..etc... but that is just a side note... over all she is living life like she normally would)

I just feel like things are looking up...and we are really going to have a good fall.
