DDA Chapter 13

[babytrees]

Hey all! here is our new home.

DDA originally stood for Disney Design Addicts as most of the posters were addicted to making t-shirt designs. Those designers are still here and many many more people have joined our friendly community. We think that DDA still fits whether you be a Disney Design Addict, Dear Disney Addict, Disney Dream-aholics, Disney Dream Addicts or whatever other acronymn you'd like to throw in there.

Welcome to all the returning posters and welcome to any newcomers that might like to chat about design and all things Disney.

Copied from Deb because she worded it so well.

I wondered when someone was going to start the next chapter!

Thanks, Theresa!

 

[babytrees]

I saw that as I was catching up and thought somebody would be faster than my turtle space...guess not!!

 

[tinknme]

I hadn't even noticed what page we were on!

 

[babytrees]

Since we are talking Christmas presents: I've got Cassidy's all done but I've only got one little thing for Abi....I need ideas. My neices and nephews are going to get a little thing (other than my sister's three...we've got the 2 older ones Speed Racer cars) and I will be done.

Have I ever mentioned that I am afraid of the number 13?
I don't ever sit in the 13th row, I won't fly on the 13th of any month, I won't put the radio in the car on volume 13 (12 or 14, never 13), I avoid that number whenever possible.

So, chop chop, DDAers! Let's get through these 250 pages quickly!

 

[babytrees]

I don't like the #13 either (which is actually kind of funny that my anniversary is the 13th) but I thought if I jumped to 14 we'd have confused DDA'ers.

I seem to have caught another cold Colby has it too. I really hope that this passes quickly, if it's not gone by the end of the week I will be visiting my doctor as I don't want to be sick on vacation.

I got my work schedule this morning and I have 5 nights this week. That's great for my pocketbook, but not so great for getting things accomplished. I guess I may have to make better use of my mornings. I have to get my camper cleaned out and winterized this week. We are having frost at night and I don't want my pipes to freeze out there.

That will leave next week for pulling my house together. It's got to be 100% when we leave as I hate coming home to a messy house. Thankfully I will not be working next Thursday or Friday night as we have other little commitments. That will give me extra time before the trip

It sounds like you have a good plan. I hope you and Colby both get some rest and feel better.

Hi, all! Sorry I haven't been around. Life's been busy, and I'm in a funk that I don't want to spread around. I don't have a reason for it, so it must just be the time of year, TOM (sorry, Tom, not you!), and yucky weather all rolled together.

for the funk. Mine lifted pretty quickly after I posted about it. I hope yours does too.

I shop all year long for Christmas and Birthdays. So I need to go get everything out and figure out what I have for the girls for Virginias Birthday and Christmas. Plus try to give my Mom and FIL some ideas for her Birthday.

But I woke up with another silly sinus Headache. at least the Z pack helped my throat and ear pain

Feel better!

Marci - boy you were busy. Congrats on getting so much accomplished. I've found a great play to donate all of our old toys. The kids' daycare! They'll use the stuff in the younger kids' rooms.

You know, I am donating the kids' books to the library in our new church, as well as some fisher price toys. I can't take them yet because we have no room right now, but the new building should be ready in a couple of months. I used to donate to the daycare, but since we don't go anymore I've had to find other outlets. (Their library was probably 75% made up of donated books by me and my boss.) Most of the stuff going to the help center is not stuff to trash, but not things I think the Church or friends would want/need.

I did venture up the stairs last night to look at the playroom... but almost hyperventilated and came back down. I have no idea how to start. I think I am too emotionally tied to a lot of their toys. I may need an intervention and help from my SIL.

Deb hope you & Colby feel better soon

Jennifer hope your headache goes away quickly

Beth I hope you get out of your funk soon

Marci sounds like you had a productive & busy weekend! Glad the boys had fun camping.

Glynis homemade jelly sounds so good! I missed the loving to cook/bake gene when I was born. I sure didn't miss the loving to eat gene though

About 2 weeks ago my gum on the lower left started bothering me. I thought maybe it was just irritated & would go away. Nope not gonna happen My jaw is now very tender to the touch & my gum has a bump on it, I am sure I have an infection. So I get to see the Dentist this afternoon. Luckily I have not had any pain & if I am lucky I will not come home with one less tooth.

Oh no -- I hope you feel better ASAP!

Marci & Deb - You got a lot done this weekend! And I know you will both finish your tasks in time!

Deb - Hope you feel better, again!

Beth - Be GONE, funk! You have had this for a while so I hope it leaves you soon.

Janet - Ouch on the tooth. I hope it is an easy fix.

Glynis - Home made jelly sounds yummy. I used to make home made currant jelly with my Mom.

Elizabeth - Vacation hangover... so THAT'S what I have!!

Tammi - I bought two adorable wristlet purses at CIS Sportswear when she was having her sidewalk sale. They will act as the girls' stockings this year. Anything we give them will have to fit in those little purses! I am thinking iTunes cards and things like that. Or fun jewelry. But that is the extent of Christmas shopping I have to do other then for my siblings and their families. I have NO idea what to get them yet.

The wristlets are such a cute idea! I'm mostly finished for Christmas. We need to come up with something for Dad, Patty (his girlfriend), my 3 nephews and one of my nieces, my boss Merrie, and my boys. I already know a few things the boys want -- I just need to find them and put them away. I'm still waiting on ideas from my SIL and sister for niece and nephews. I've already done my siblings, Randy's siblings, their kids, my work, but I need to keep going.

Dallas will have Partners Card soon, so I might get a lot more done then. I think I've talked about it before. It's a card you can buy for $60 (benefits the Family Place) and all the vendors listed will give you 20% off of your purchase. My work buys it because a stop at one store (container store for wrapping paper for all the client gifts) will pay for it. It IS only fitting that I get the card since I do the shopping.

Okay -- back to work. If you see me on here tonight, ENCOURAGE me to get my tush up to the playroom.

I hadn't even noticed what page we were on!

me either

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? How about 4?!?!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Ho-hum. Almost time to go get Princess. I guess she didn't terrorize them too much, because they didn't call me to come get her!

Sounds like the mailman is here. Sounds like the entire TRUCK was for my bosses! How much stuff is he going to cram through the slot? Ah, doorbell! Even MORE stuff on the porch! It seems that Dadboss put a stop on their mail while they were gone, so this is all of it.

I bought a computer keyboard at Target this morning for $5. DS has a hard time with our computer because all of the letters have scratched off the keyboard. Stupid Gateway keyboard. They just sort of painted the letters on there. They scraped off before the computer was 6 months old, but since we didn't buy any sort of extra warranty Best Buy said it was my problem, not theirs. Hopefully this $5 thing will be compatible!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

OMG, Robyn!!

Did she do that to herself, or did she have help?

 

[bear74]

well I worked on getting some things that Virginia no longer needs or can wear together.

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

OMG, Robyn!!

Did she do that to herself, or did she have help?

Her response was that Emma did it. Problem with that is that Emma is in school and her hair did not like that before Emma left this morning. So yes, all by herself. She says she likes it, and I am so tempted to just leave it just like that!!

 

[bear74]

OMG, Robyn!!

I was going to say and ask the same thing

 

[KMH1]

Molly, Molly, Molly!

Robyn,

Coincidentally, we just got back from haircuts.

I'm betting Matty does this one day...hopefully to himself, not anyone else!

ETA: Is her shirt on inside out, too?

 

[bear74]

Her response was that Emma did it. Problem with that is that Emma is in school and her hair did not like that before Emma left this morning. So yes, all by herself. She says she likes it, and I am so tempted to just leave it just like that!!

she tried to blame her sister, when she was not home insert smiley shaking her head here

It is almost even...what would it hurt?? My kids never did that to themselves...thank goodness...though if they had I'd probably still be laughing

 

[bear74]

okay so what kind of aim less stuff should we post to get thru this chapter fast for Theresa and Elizabeth

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Molly, Molly, Molly!

Robyn,

Well this makes 2 times. I am so proud of myself in that I didn't scream at her, I was speechless. There are just no words!!!

No her shirt is on right, the tag is just out!!
