The weather here stinks, was warm for a few days but back to rain this weekend. :(
Then there was an article on yahoo that said El Nino will make a comeback and play havoc with winter. :sad2:
 
Off to grab a nice hot shower, talk with ya all later.
 
Does anyone have a good lemon cupcake recipe? I'd prefer not from a box, but did find a neat one that called for angel food cake and lemonade concentrate that sounded interesting...
 

Sorry Chanon, but what if you make boxed and filled them with lemon curd?
 
Looks like the AC man will get another junk of my Disney fund, we now have to replace the inside unit :headache:

Sorry to hear this Debbie, seems like our money always needs to go elsewhere.
 
Hi everyone :wave2:

Was having so much trouble loading the DIS that I was only checking in with the exchange board, as I had done a few and need to keep them updated.


Now for the bad news (yeah, yeah I know, gone all this time and I come back with bad news).
My mom's one sister went into the hospital as they found an aneurysm in her stomach, can't do anything for her as they also found she has lung cancer (no she never smoked) they have given her a year.


Hope everyone is well and no bad news too. pixiedust: and :grouphug: all around.


Heidi sorry to hear about your Aunt :hug:
 
Heidi-I hope your DIS/internet issues are fixed quickly as I miss your type face around here (though the DIS is still wonky for me also). I am so sorry to hear your bad news...a stomach anuerysm sounds icky anyway and then lung cancer on top of it sounds horrid. The older gentleman at work that was off his rocker battled lung cancer for about 3 years, went in for an experimental treatment that went horribly wrong and passed away at the beginning of June. I hope that they are able to keep her comfortable:hug::hug:

Debbie-I am sorry your A/C went out....ours did too, last summer....but we are surviving without it...I don't think I could where you live.

I have had a very interesting last couple of days. I got a call yesterday that I had won a prize pack to Cheyenne Frontier Days :cool1::cool1: and when could I pick them up? (I picked them up this afternoon, it has 4 rodeo tickets, 4 museum entrance tickets, 4 meals, 4 park and ride tickets, 4 cap coupons....not shabby...but was hoping for the $500 shopping spree for there)

Abi & I then went to the cooking class that I have been enjoying every other Thursday...it was mexican so I didn't really learn any recipes, other than a strange, but tasty, cherry salsa.

I came home to a message on Facebook that a friend I lost track of (do you know how many families live in FL with the last name Sturgeon?? thousands:scared1:) had joined facebook just to find me. :lovestruc Her oldest is exactly 11 months older than Cassidy and was her first best friend. Andy(which is why we named or Pal Mickey, Andy) is now in the Army serving in Afghanistan right now but is stationed out of Ft. Carson which is just about an hour and a half away from us. :cool1:

This morning the girls and I went to have our hair cut.....our friends that did it have a worm farm....they are now probably happily munching on about 6 lbs of hair....my hair hasn't been this short since I was a little kid, I think.

I promise pictures later.


Tomorrow, after hitting the Plato's Closet grab bag sale we will head to the new movie theater that is having $2 movie, popcorn and pop previews tomorrow to benefit a local charity. :goodvibes

Congratulations on the win Theresa :cool1:

Sounds like you are keeping busy!
 
Debbie - I am sorry about the A/C. :guilty:

Heidi - Glad you popped in. I am sorry about your mom's sister.

So I had the thing on my bottom lid done. Good thing I left the top lid - I don't think I could have stood to have the top done. The numbing needles were bad, the lid retractor was bad. The actual extraction was fine. Of course now my eyelid is swollen, discolored, and really sore. Just like it was 3 weeks ago when the stye was really bad!!! :rotfl2: One more week of eye drops, another MONTH of oral antibiotics. Sigh. She said she isn't sure how much better it will look in 3 weeks, but she said we definitely shouldn't mess with it again before we leave for WDW. If I am not happy with the results I can come back in after the trip. I think regardless of the outcome I will NOT repeat this procedure.

Elizabeth I hope the surgery helps & that you heal quickly :wizard:
 
I am still having issues with the DIS (sigh) :(
And that is such a pain, because I am the sick person who must go back and read everything and I stopped on page 191 :eek: but I am all caught up now.

I am the same way Heidi, no matter how far behind I get I have to read all the pages :rolleyes1
 
Cornish pasties are hand held meat pies. They originated in Cornwall, England among the miners. They needed a way to eat a hot lunch without having to come out of the mine. Their wives created these "pies" out of heavy, thick crust filled with meat and vegetables. Sometimes, they would even put meat filling in one end and fruit filling on the other so there was a complete meal.

Katie tried them in London last year and has been hooked! So, I'm going to attempt them for her birthday. I'm not worried about the filling, it's the crust that has me worried. Although, now that I think about it, my pie crusts always end up thick and heavy, so maybe it will be ok!

Glynis,

Hal made Cornish pasties and they were really good. Very filling but good.

I'm so sorry, Heidi. Prayers and good thoughts for your aunt and family. I hope your connection improves soon!

I would stay in KDH, KH or Nags Head... not Duck or Sanderling because they are way north.

There are a few real estate companies that do short term rentals but they are few and far between. And the cost of a condo for a weekend would be more than that of a motel. Our first trip to the Outer Banks was at a motel and it was a great way to learn the area.

Have you found a national chain oceanfront place in Wrightsville Beach? If so, and if it is closer I would go with it since none of us knows anything about the area.

Thanks Elin!

I saved the link you gave me & will look at it tom'w. Theres a Hampton Inn on Nags Head that might work...Dana has Hilton points from work...

Hope you enjoyed your birthday!!!:flower3:
 
Elin - Hope you had a nice night tonight. Sounds like some fun plans for tonight and tomorrow.

Theresa - Love the haircuts. Congrats on the fair win. That will be a nice outing.

Tammi - Happy shopping tomorrow. I hope you find what you're looking for.
