DDA Chapter 20

[tmfranlk]

Well..............I just spoke with my atty. We may have an agreement. I feel like I'm losing my shirt on it, but an agreement none the less. The good side is that it will be over with. The bad side.....debt. But hey, that's the American way, right?!?! Hopefully if the market ever turns around it won't be so bad.

I'm glad that you almost have an agreement worked out even if it's not totally in your favor. Good luck!

Tia hope you found lots of good books today!

We didn't do too badly. We found some really cool animal books for Terra which she's really excited about. We also got the book that Hotel for Dogs is based on, which we had just talked about reading last night. She also got several "starting to read" books that I think are going to challenge her a little bit, which is good. Overall, I spent a little more than I intended, but with good returns so I'm happy.

Thanks, Janet!!

My neighbor, Vince (the one Eric does BS's with), who just happens to be a massage therapist came over a bit ago and gave me the best massage. Can I just say how fabulous it was!! Hmm, maybe, I'll just have to find some extra money in the budget for weekly massages! It was much needed and greatly appreciated!

Definitely something worth budgeting for, I think.

So tomorrow I get to make my ADR's!!!

Here is what we have this trip....

Friday~ CP /b'fast and Biergarten/Dinner

Saturday~ 1900 PF/Dinner

Sunday~ Boma/Dinner

Monday~ Wolfgang Puck's/Lunch

Tuesday~ Chef Mickey's/Dinner

Wednesday~ Chefs de France/Dinner

Thursday~ Raglan Road/Dinner

Friday~ Cape May/DDA Dinner

The only repeats on our list is Biergarten and 1900 PF. And I did go to Chef Mickey's before on a business trip years ago.

Sounds yummy all around. I've got to try to work in some new things the next time around. We've gotten into some habits and don't always remember to branch out in our dining.

Tia you did good with the books today, Terra will be busy for a while

Hi Chanon

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Ooooh have fun!!

Thanks! Our group dinner at Cape May last summer was really fun!

Thanks, Robyn, I am. Ssssh, don't tell Elizabeth, but I haven't started packing yet Hoping to get to that tomorrow now that the auction is done and I have tomorrow off.

That massage sounds perfect!

ACK!! TWELVE DAYS! You must be packed in full TWELVE DAYS prior to departure! That's the rule! I hope you at least have your closet sectioned off.

I don't think I have to tell her But since you are packing for just you and Craig, I think you'll be just fine.

It was perfect!

Must be nice to have a massage!
I am actually more about pedicures and facials than massages, though.

Hi, Chanon!

So I took Princess to ballet today and one of the moms says "Hey, Elizabeth! We are going to WDW." Great! I ask when they are going.
"Memorial Day."

These people just decided yesterday to pop over to WDW. No plane ressies, no hotel, NOTHING. She thought they would eat breakfast in the castle. And get Fast Passes online. And stay at Ft. Wilderness so they can do the campfire. With only 2 days. She also thought all their food would be free. Um, no.

I made her get on her cell phone RIGHT THEN and call dining. She got lunch at LTT. That was it. Her DH was booking flights, and they were looking at staying at POFQ because availability is spotty. They don't think it will be crowded because tourism is down. I told them WDW tourism is NOT DOWN.
I hope they have fun. I really do. They are SO clueless. They are just going to MK, so at least they have a narrow focus.

Going to WDW for Memorial Day. Good gracious.

Janet - I am sorry we won't get to see you and your family this year. I have no clue when we are going next year. I know we will go, just have to sort out dates!

Debbie - Love the rose pic you posted on the Photo forum!

New greys anatomy is on!!!

 

[babytrees]

AAACK!!!!

Poor Josh was over here for supper. His parents may or may not be coming to his graduation, he didn't get an 18th birthday present, they didn't pay for a yearbook(yes, I know it's sixty bucks but they didn't pay for anything else...I mean nothing else), no planning to take him out after graduation, no party, nothing. That just makes me see red for him.

I am sorry I have been reading along but it is going in one eye and out the other.

How very sad.

Another day another dollar. Work was slow, but I made the most of it. Tomorrow will be an interesting day at the pool. The entire leisure pool area will be closed as they are making safety modifications and doing some tile cleanup. That means we only have the competition deep water pool. Plenty of guards, but who knows what will happen.

Tammi I'm glad you have a potential agreement. Do you get to keep the house and Disney timeshare?

 

[Tammi67]

Tammi I'm glad you have a potential agreement. Do you get to keep the house and Disney timeshare?

Thanks. Yes, and I get to keep paying on the huge bills that go with them. In addition to paying him off. The good thing is that DVC is an OPTION. If I can't make it, I will sell it to pay off that bill. It's a luxury. And honestly, it won't stop me from traveling there. It will just lower my standards a bit.

 

[Tammi67]

Tomorrow we get to sleep in a bit. I'm going to work a little later because they are having Muffins for Mom at school in the morning. Probably more donuts than muffins, but that name doesn't sound as cool. But tomorrow night I'm working some more overtime, until 8. Bob will get the kids for me, take Alyssa to tap and feed them dinner.

We had a little sunshine this afternoon. It did a lot to lift my spirits, thank goodness. I could have easily crawled back into bed this morning and not gotten out until the sun came out. I can't stand myself like that! Kristin was worried about me, as were two of my private students. I really think I need to look into one of Kristine's gadgets: a seasonal light box.

I hope that the sun mixed with rain and thunderstorms over the next couple of days is a very bright sun!

Looks good

Thanks. I am very excited!!

I like being adventurous, but I also like the familiar.

It was and my shoulder feels great!!!

I can't wait til we all have dinner together!!!

Kelli, I told you she'd find out without me telling her.

Elizabeth, You do know a massage therapist that is local. And I am sure I can wrangle you a family & friends discount. But pedicures are good, too.

I am surprised the ambulance was called to the dance studio

Hi Everyone.

Wow, Grey's Anatomy was intense tonight. Definately a four tissue show.

Work has been intense, but thankfully I can keep busy and at 5pm, I can leave and not think about it until the next day. we got new computers and they are so neat!!! They are Dell Hybrid. The tower is just so cute I got the red one. the monitor is 22 inches. The clarity is intense.
http://www.dell.com/hybrid

Today I was going up the stairs after lunch and my shoe slipped and I managed to jam my baby toe. It is now a real nice blend of black and purple. It really hurts. I cannot tell you how many times I have broken both of my baby toes. So, I am limping around and took a pain pill.

Check this out. This family won a private day on Castaway Cay.

What time are you doing dinner Thursday?

Tomorrow we get to sleep in a bit. I'm going to work a little later because they are having Muffins for Mom at school in the morning. Probably more donuts than muffins, but that name doesn't sound as cool. But tomorrow night I'm working some more overtime, until 8. Bob will get the kids for me, take Alyssa to tap and feed them dinner.

I am glad you get to keep the house and DVC but sorry about the cost to you. for sleeping in!!! Enjoy your muffins.

That little bit of sunshine was fabulous. I am glad it lifted your spirits. I know there is no way I could live in Seattle.


Theresa- I am so sad for Josh.

I am so mad I could spit nails. Why, because of 9 year old girls. At our meeting tonight, everything was fine until the very end. 4 of the girls went to the bathroom~ Emma and 3 others. Of the other 3~ one was Lily, Em's best friend and one is Maya R, her dad is the one Eric does scouts with and they live on our street. The 3rd girl, Maya A, goes to school with Lily. Emma and Lily are best friends through and through. Maya R is very jealous of Emma for various reasons. Her mom, Tina, has told me so on numerous occasions. I have just chalked it up to normal girl drama really haven't paid much attention to it. The girls play together outside and Maya R will come over here and Em will go over there.

Apparently, Maya R and Maya A were in the bathroom stalls (there are only 2) and they were not using them. They were playing. Lily was washing her hands. Em came in and said she needed to go. Maya A stood up on the toilet and would not let Em go. Maya R wouldn't get out of the other stall. Em kept asking to go and they kept saying no. Telling her they were putting a curse on her and such. At some point, Em must have gone and then Randy, Lily's dad, went to wrangle them as it was time to leave. I was busy getting stuff loaded in the van so I didn't notice Em as she came out. She immediately went into the van and sat. I was talking to Tina, Randy and Martha (Maya's mom) and Tina had both Mayas and Lily take our garbage to the dumpster. They did and Lily came running back separately and told Randy she was ready to leave. They left. Martha and Maya A got in there car and left. Tina and I finished talking and then I got in the van. Em told me she wanted to quit the troop immediately. ACK!!! So I pulled what I could out of her. All she told me was that they would not let her go to the bathroom and they were not being a sister to every Girl Scout. My daughter is ALL about the rules and making sure everyone follows them. I gave her a hug and told her I would find out more information and we would address any issues at our next meeting.

I texted Randy and asked him to ask Lily about the drama and if it was just Em being over dramatic, which she can. He called me back and told me about the curse and how they wouldn't let her go to the bathroom. Lily also said that when the 3 of them were going to the dumpster, the 2 Maya's were talking about Emma and called her an a **hole. Hence, the reason why Lily came running back and wanting to leave. Randy said Lily was crying as she was telling him about the night. She was mad at herself for not being a good friend and sticking up for Emma.

I knew it was coming but am not at all prepared for it. We have 3 meetings left and then our camping trip. I do not want the year to end on a bad note. Randy and I will be talking to the girls next week.
