DDA Chapter 27

It was still damp and dreary here today. We ended up cancelling practice tonight as the field is still wet and muddy. Hunter isn't feeling to well anyway so it was for the best. I was scheduled to work at the restaurant tonight, but got a call that they weren't opening. I guess a hinge broke on the walk in cooler door and they can't open it to access food. I'm not able to work at all over the next 3 weeks with activities for the boys every night. I'm feeling like it might be time for me to cut the strings as kids activities take up a lot of time and I'll be starting my full time job on Monday. I am definitely thinking about it and Chris is all for it.

Good luck with your decision Deb. Working 2 jobs & all the activities going on would have you meeting yourself both ways!

You are quite busy all the time. This would give you the time for the kids that I know you cherish. Good luck with the decision. I know it is a tough call.
 

That should keep you busy when you don't have softball in the evenings. Your schedule is starting to sound as busy as mine:goodvibes


I'm working on it. I have softball on Monday's. Want to sew on at least two nights a week. I'm training for the full marathon in January. Home every week-end I can until I can find a job to return me to the U.P.

A friend of mine in Lansing is having a baby. She is being induced May 31. She is 40 years old and has 3 daughters. Her live in boyfriend, the father of her child, has to go out of town two weeks after the baby is born and will be gone for two weeks. I told her I would stay with her those two weeks. I'm so excited. I get to spend time with a baby. Woohoo!!! :woohoo: I love babies. :dance3::yay::love:

I'm not the only busy one :rolleyes1 Being around a newborn would be fun, but exhausting too. I'm glad that you have created a life in Lansing while you have to be there. I know your heart is in the UP. Something will come up I'm sure. I have learned that there is a plan out there for all of us, often it doesn't make sense and takes us to unexpected places, but ultimately we'll end up where we need to be. Keep the faith.

I love that you are so busy with things that make you happy, Vicky. and :yay: for babies!!
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny: (that sun is wishful thinking on my part... rain here until Sunday!)
 
Good morning everyone! :)

Four and a half weeks of school left! :cool1: This time of year gets crazy busy for me, between activities with the kids in the evening and helping them to prepare for the SOLs. At least some of my evening time will be freed up now that Amazing Race and Survivor are done. One more week for DWTS. Plus the next few weekends that I'm not working we have a few local trips planned. This Saturday Alyssa's class is doing an out of school field trip to Natural Bridge, VA and the Virginia Safari Park. A lot of people rave about this Safari Park, but to us I'm sure it won't compare to AK. And then in June we are traveling to Eastern PA to visit with my cousin. I'm trying to decide if I want to squeeze a day in at Hershey Park while we're up there. My parents will come here for the week after that trip and stay until the following weekend for Alyssa's dance recitals. I'm so looking forward to our August trip. The way time is flying it will be here before I know it.

I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm off to watch the webcast Behind the Magic in Hawaii with Samantha Brown!
 
May I have your opinions please?

I found out today that Tutto Italia took off my favorite dish from their menu. That was the only reason I wanted to dine there so I cancelled it. Soooooo could you help me choose 3 & what meal do you like from the folllowing? We have the free QSDP so we are only doing 3 table service at the most & maybe just 2 depending on how we use our QS credits.

Here are the options, which 3 would you pick? Thanks all!!!


Kouzzina dinner
Chef Mickeys dinner
Tusker House breakfast
Mama Melrose dinner
50's PT lunch/dinner
Crystal Palace breakfast/lunch/dinner
 
Oh, it's icky and nasty here! Rainy, hail, and a bit of snow. Supposed to last thru Friday morning. It's making me feel really cranky!

Tammi - You sound like you've got a lot on your plate. Wow! That will make the time before your trip just fly by!

Deb - Good luck with your decision. I know you enjoy working at the restaurant, but with the full time job coming up, maybe Chris is right.

Vickie - You make me tired, with all your energy! Where do you get it??? I love that you are so excited about being around a newborn. I used to be, to! Just kidding. I really love having Timothy, but it is harder than when I was younger!

Anne Marie - Keep in mind that I've never really eaten anywhere in WDW except the place in WL, but based on the food reports that I love to read, I would choose:
1. Crystal Palace
2. Tusker House
3. 50's or Kouzzina

Those are all places that have looked consistently good to me! Take it for what it's worth. I swear, someday I'll get to eat at these places... someday!

School gets out on June 3rd this year, so we are really winding down. Katie has one last school project that is due at the beginning of next week: she has to write a piece of music for 2 instruments. She has chosen a violin/cello duet. She's got 16 bars of music written already, and I think it's pretty good for a 13 year old! The other kids are just hanging in there with everything. This is really their last week of school work, as next week will be testing and cleaning. That last week of school is mostly throw away. I hate it, but the kids love it!

CP - I would have dinner here if I were having breakfast at TH, or vice versa.

That being said, I can't vote for Kouzzina since we haven't eaten there yet. And I'm done with Chef Mickey's for quite some time. :sad2:

I have a question about dinners, we've never tried any of the signature dinners and are considering one our next trip. We're not into gourmet, so which signature would you sugest?

I am going to have to think on this one for a bit! I think most signature spots are pretty "gourmet" oriented. Are there certain foods that you don't like (i.e. seafood, steak, etc.)?
 
Good morning,

I am keeping a running tally & it looks like Kouzzina, Mama Melrose & Tusker breakfast are in the lead. Thanks for the votes ladies!

Elin,
The kids asked if we could go to one character meal..they love Chef Mickeys but the Tusker breakfast is less expensive. We have been to Mama Melrose a long time ago & never been to Kouzzina.

Debbie,
We love Californis Grill. Even though its a signature we felt casual there. They servers are great & we didn't feel like the food was too foo-foo for us. We are not gourmets & like comfort food. Alot of folks on the board love Flying Fish as well.
