I was catching up and wondering the same thing, Chanon!
This is sooooo exciting!!!!! That's what I would want!![]()
Well, as Elizabeth eluded to, our weather in Big D today is certainly not ideal. Cold and VERY rainy. My body seems to automatically wake up now at 5:30, and I laid awake for almost an hour watching the lightning storm and listening to the rain. We do need the rain, so I guess there will be something good to come of it. The weatherman was predicting hail and strong winds for this afternoon last night, but right now, it's just kind of drizzly.
We had to take and drop my car off at the dealership this morning - some part of my OnStar equipment has to be upgraded. On the way home, we stopped for Chik-Fil-A for breakfast - YUMMY!
Now, just catching up on things, and I think I'm going to call and finally get my dining plans for May readjusted. Other than that, I also need to do some house cleaning today (ugh, but it needs it). Tonight, we're going to go to dinner for Valentine's Day - there is some place near downtown that Jonathan just loves (they serve lots of wild game, etc.). I found that they participate in the Restaurants.com gift certficiates, and back when they were running a ridiculous promo in Jan., I got some $25 gc's for $5! So, even if I'm not a huge fan, at least we won't be shelling out a lot of our own $$!
We also found out last night that Jonathan got a big work assignment he was going for. It's a pretty big deal as far as company-wide exposure and advancement goes, and they only select one person nation-wide to do it. I'm very proud of him, although it means I won't see a lot of him for the next month or two!
Congrats to Jen & Kyle....I am happy to say my baby radar is right back on track!!!![]()

Congrats Jennifer and Kyle!!!!!!
Congrats Jennifer and Kyle.
Well, we still have a CM telling Bernadette there will be DDP for APs so there COULD still be something. So far I have looked on about 6 other sites and e-mailed a couple of "insiders" in addition to calling Disney myself and I have come up empty.![]()
Of course for all we know that CM could have misunderstood or misread something herself!
I registered 4 hrs ago with Airtran from the link Janet sent me. Still no coupon. They better hurry and email it to me. The offer expires tomorrow!
Sneaky!!!![]()
Good morning.
Nicholas has his black belt test at karate today. He is very nervous about it. If you all wouldn't mind throwing some pd his way, I know he would certainly appreciate it!
From what I understand, there is rumor that DDP would be offered free for those with AP's????So I'm wondering if you have to be on a package to take advantage of it, if it does happen.
So am I the ONLY ONE who noticed Jennifer's ticker???!?!?! Or am I missing posts?!?
CONGRATS JENNIFER AND KYLE!

Nicholas is now a black belt!!!!!
And we are done with karate!!!!
Travel safely! And your advice, I thought, was spot on. I'll post more about that later. And I hope Chuck feels better. When is the Table Test?I'm off to sleep now! I am all caught up on the thread. I don't think I'll get on in the morning and it is a 8 hour drive home. I am going to sleep in and take a leisurely drive home. I'll stop at my mom's on the way if she is home. Talk to you all tomorrow night!
The party sounds wonderful! I can't wait to see the pictures. And the catfish from Cracker Barrel is my fave!Well, I'm finally caught up inbetween the final prep work for Terra's party. I've got one decoration that I'd like to make if I have the time. Otherwise, we're mostly set. The Disney Store had the perfect shirt for her to wear so I didn't have to design that, but I have made the picture for the plates, goody bags, crayon labels and playdoh labels. I need to get the cake baked here in a minute so that I can decorate it tomorrow. I've also got a little clean-up today. I was wonderfully on schedule until several things this afternoon/evening threw that off. Oh well, I shouldn't be too far behind (knock on wood).
I did however get catfish at Cracker Barrel for dinner as part of the messed up schedule was that I had to be out of the house somewhere, anywhere, for a couple of hours. And since fried catfish and perfect biscuits go along way to help stress, I'm doing great now.Even better, it was a kid's portion so I'm not off track on calories!
Alrighty then...I'm off to back and them off to bed.
Oh yeah, I've got to put the Buzz patches on Terra's jeans. Can't forget that!![]()
Sounds like a great concert. Enjoy the massage.hi everyone-
I just got home from teh concert and am just checking email and catching up here before i go to bed..
I had a blast at the concert! Carrie Underwood seemed to have a sore throat, but still sounded pretty good--keith urban was just amazing! The concert went til amost 1130--it was great!
But it was a long drive home and its after 2---im headed to bed! getting up at 8 for my massage!
have a great night!
Thanks. I will change it! And I'll send you and my friend another email so she has the correct one too.Just as an update, my email address changed quite some time ago. I thought I posted a change on here, but maybe I really didn't (we're talking probably at least a year ago). Thanks Chanon and Amy for bringing it to my attention!
The only email address I really check at home is jn.kaufman@yahoo.com. If you have been emailing stuff, I'm sorry!
Denise -- also, I really didn't get the email you sent about your friends. Amy pointed out that it went to an old address, but even when I searched there I don't see it. Just wanted you to know, in case you were looking for a reply!![]()
I know, how cool is that! Eveyrone here is buzzing about it. Go Braves!Ok, maybe this only matters to Denise, and maybe even then only ever so slightly....
But I have just found out I've been living under a rock!
Tom Glavine (one of my all-time favorite pitchers) and Javier Lopez (the first love of my life (Kyle knows) have both rejoined the Atlanta Braves! Holy cow! It's like old, championship-winning times!

Have fun at dinner, and I hope the recitals went well. Feel better too.Well, I can't take it easy too much. I start recitals again at 10:15. I am judging and playing concerto accompaniments for 7 hours today.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Bob and I had asked Kristin to go out to dinner tonight after I am done. One of our downtown restaurants (Caroline Street Café, Tammi) does a special dinner for certain holidays, Valentine's Day being one of those dates. They extended the offering for Friday and Saturday evenings as well this year. When I saw their chef's choices I decided we would give it a try tonight. My boss and one of my co-workers said it sounded like a nice end to the day. Since the 3 of us are very good friends and our DHs get along so well I invited them and their spouses to join us. So, we have a party planned for 5:30 tonight before the madness begins tomorrow morning at 10:15 again!![]()
I'm glad you are feeling better, and I hope Emma enjoys the sleepover!Well it seems that I am finally feeling ok. My fever broke sometime Thursday afternoon. I honestly think it all stemmed from just being run down. I have been asleep by 9pm the past 2 nights and slept til 7am both mornings. It's been ages since I've slept that long. I think everything just finally caught up with me. Now I need to get the energy up to face my house.![]()
Today Molly, Lucy and I are headed to a baby shower for my sister's best friend. Molly will then head home with my mom and sister to spend the night there. Emma is spending the night at Allyson's house tonight. She is supposed to be over there at 2:30 this afternoon. I have a feeling that we will be getting a call later this evening. Emma is very excited about going but I fear that it may just be too long of a time for her to be there before they actually go to sleep. I guess time will tell.
Not much else on the agenda. I will probably come home and want to take a nap. Off to get ready for the day.
Have a great day!
Get well soon!I can not believe I feel lousy again today.I must have overdone it yesterday.
DH is sick and the kids all have sniffles, coughs, goopy eyes and all sorts of crud but it doesn't slow them down enough. They are actually being really good right now so maybe they will let me take a little nap on the couch.
Congrats! What wonderful news.So am I the ONLY ONE who noticed Jennifer's ticker???!?!?! Or am I missing posts?!?
CONGRATS JENNIFER AND KYLE!
Yuck, the flu is really bad this year. Feel better!Hi Ya'll,
I went to the Dr yesterday and got some meds. Yeah the flu bug got me.Spent all night coughing. Hope this goes away soon. I want to be able to watch two of my grandsons on Thursday.
Hope everyone else gets better soon too.
Congrats to Jonathan on the assignment. Have fun at dinner!Well, as Elizabeth eluded to, our weather in Big D today is certainly not ideal. Cold and VERY rainy.

WTG, Nicholas! Quite impressive!Nicholas is now a black belt!!!!!
And we are done with karate!!!!
Hope Alyssa feels better soon too and enjoys the time with her dad.She's with her dad, but still running a fever with a sore throat. It stays down with motrin, so that keeps her from feeling sick. Thanks for asking.
Really? I guess that would have been an interesting question as well, when everyone was posting guesses. I assume most would have wanted B/G
Good luck to Jonathan, and to you for getting through the next few months! I never see Kyle, so maybe we can keep one another company!Enjoy your dinner (or at least time out) tonight.... don't you love those GCs?! We have a ton sitting around, I should look at them again. But the price is so good, it's impossible not to stock up, especially when they run their 60% off deals!
I'll have to go back and look at when that conversation was taking place.... I know VERY few people have guessed correctly (here or IRL). Did you chime in then? I know another baby-gender psychic will be a little disappointed (sorry Heidi!)
Jennifer - Congrats to you & Kyle! I know different families with all 3 combos of twins so I figured no matter what the combo happened to be that you guys would be fine! I wonder if they will look alike?
You, too, can talk geek - Disney geek!![]()
Denise-and
for the entire fig family!
Tia-great link! Your party plans sound great! I'm sure Terra will love the pins. I think my kids only had about 6 or 7 traders.
Elin-Hope the drugs work wonders for you today! Enjoy your dinner.
Jennifer-love your new signature!
Robyn-love your new signature! We need to see more photos from your trip. I've got your cd's ready to go in the mail-DH is heading to the PO right now. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!
Tammi-good luck to Nicholas!![]()
Vicki-drive safe!
WOW! Where did you hear that????
I can not believe I feel lousy again today.I must have overdone it yesterday.
DH is sick and the kids all have sniffles, coughs, goopy eyes and all sorts of crud but it doesn't slow them down enough. They are actually being really good right now so maybe they will let me take a little nap on the couch.
Good luck with your nap! I was TRYING to nap on the couch but DS insisted on sitting THISCLOSE to me with a toy. The toy has about 400 little plastic pieces that he was rattling together. I asked him to 1) stop rattlling or 2) MOVE but he elected to ignore me.![]()
I am thoroughly confused on the DDP for APs now. How can they require a package if a package consists of tickets and room? I figure they will just sell it to AP holders and not require more tickets. BUT they could still require paying rack rate for the room!
Hi Ya'll,
I went to the Dr yesterday and got some meds. Yeah the flu bug got me.Spent all night coughing. Hope this goes away soon. I want to be able to watch two of my grandsons on Thursday.
Hope everyone else gets better soon too.

I love talking with John, but sometimes he talks geek. I so totaly don't speak or understand geek, so I just pretend. Is that bad?![]()
Nicholas is now a black belt!!!!!
And we are done with karate!!!!
You practically were! I changed it while Tammi was catching up this am, and before several others did. Some even talked about changing signatures, etc.... Beth did PM me because she logged on just for a minute (didn't have time to catch up just yet) and noticed it.
So Robyn, at the point which you asked -- no, I wasn't enjoying taunting you, but I was enjoying laughing at you!
Thank you, Chanon!![]()
The weather here is beautiful today. 72 and just like Spring outside. The kids and I have been out here (I'm on the laptop) since 11am.
About the neighbor, I truly appreciate everyone's advice. I prayed about it last night and did a lot of thinking about it last night. I received confirmation from Webkinz that the $$ was taken out on Wednesday. I saw the neighbor outside today and went to talk to her. I told her I was sorry about confronting her abruptly yesterday and without really giving her a chance to reply. I handled it wrong, and I was sorry. She said her DD has been grounded with NO priviledgesfor 3 weeks so it wasn't her that took the $$. I said that BK only told her, but if she said it wasn't her DD then I would believe her and said I was sorry for wrongly accusing her. I said that I didn't want the girls sitting next ot each other on the bus as the things she has been saying to BK may not be inappropriate for HER DD, but they were inappropriate for BK. She said her DD has been having nightmares for weeks over the scary stuff she's been telling BK?
And I said then you think it's ok for her to tell MY daughter? I also told her that I had talked to BK and her DD on Monday to tell them she couldn't have BK's Webkinz. She kept asking BK every day anyway and then talked her into giving her the password for her account. Her mom NEVER once apologized for anything or for any of her kids' behaviors...
I told her that I wanted no animosity between us, that I had told my children they were to be polite to their family, if they saw her kids outside and I was out too, they could all play. She said that was fine.
It's amazing. She never took any accountability for anything (not surprised), never apologized, NADA. I personally feel better and feel like I was the bigger person, apologized for how I handled it wrong, etc. If I see her at the bus stop, etc, I will be totally comfortable with myself.
Then 30 minutes later her DH comes over to see John and talk sports like nothing had happened. The dad and kids were all waving at us outside, and the mom literally hid her head behind her hand. I think the mom is just. But it's over as far as I'm concerned. I don't think her DD will be mean to BK either. And if she is, I'll handle that too. Thanks again for all the advice.
Who knows! My sister and I, and Kyle and his siblings look a lot like one another (in our respective families). I have no idea if that will make a difference or not, but we'll see! They will absolutely have blue eyes, will almost definitely start out with white-blond hair, and will likely have at least some curls. That's our only predictions so far!![]()
I know another baby-gender psychic will be a little disappointed (sorry Heidi!)
All 3 of mine have blue eyes, I really would love to know where they came from.
As you can imagine not much of a nap here.Good luck with your nap! I was TRYING to nap on the couch but DS insisted on sitting THISCLOSE to me with a toy. The toy has about 400 little plastic pieces that he was rattling together. I asked him to 1) stop rattlling or 2) MOVE but he elected to ignore me.![]()
We also found out last night that Jonathan got a big work assignment he was going for.

I've never heard any misinformation from any CM.Well, we still have a CM telling Bernadette there will be DDP for APs so there COULD still be something. So far I have looked on about 6 other sites and e-mailed a couple of "insiders" in addition to calling Disney myself and I have come up empty.![]()
Of course for all we know that CM could have misunderstood or misread something herself!
Can't believe I missed it.No, I really didn't!My last post was marked at 8:35 (DIS time, who know if it's right... but close). After that, I saved it, uploaded it to photobucket and changed it here. I would say 8:45am at the latest, I swear! I've been sleeping almost all day since then! (C'mon iron... Jennifer needs to feel some life again!)
Glad you're feeling better. Hope your Mom is better soon!Overall I feel better, but not 100% yet. The Vick's humitfier thingy really helped last night and I definitely slept better. The first couple of hours after waking up is a nightmare with lots of coughing, but after that settled down things improved. Hopefully the worst is over. My Mother has the vertigo today that I had earlier this weekI ran out and signed my life away to buy her some Sudafed as that cleared up my head.
Good for you! I'm so glad you're feeling better about it.I personally feel better and feel like I was the bigger person, apologized for how I handled it wrong, etc. If I see her at the bus stop, etc, I will be totally comfortable with myself.
That's so interesting that they all do! Blue eyes are one of those few genetic things that have a lot more than just dominant/recessive, more simple factors.... so I think you can "get" blue eyes countless ways. But Kyle and I both have blue eyes, I don't think they have a chance not to!
