Or I might want these instead of the gnome decisions, decisions

EBAY, but I saw them on other Flower and Garden festival pics I can not locate now

They have pins with other Disney Gnomes on them. But I do not think they have the actual gnome statues of the other characters.

Prayers please! Just got a call, and one of my student's dads got really sick over the weekend, has been diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia), in in the ICU, has a 40% chance to live, and is going to be in the hospital a month at least. The mom is 12 weeks pregnant with twins and then has the little girl (age 2) in my class. Very tough situation.

That is horrible. We will add him to our prayers.

Tonight I look like someone punched me in the eye. I've had these raised bumps on my face that I guess are called millium. I've had them for several years. My mom has been after me to hae a dermatologist look at them so I had them removed today. It sounds gross but the poke a needle in the middle of them and pop them like a blackhead! I had at least 20 of them with some very small ones forming. She told me I would look bruised for a few days.

I get those too, but I just take a needle and pick at them until I get the center out. I didn't realize that I was doing a medical procedure though

Vicki, are you going through a mid-life crisis? Should Chuck be concerned? First you get a hairdo, then a new wardrobe, now you are altering your appearance? Are you going to be buying a corvette next????

But let me say that the few times that I've met you I never noticed them. If it makes you feel better about yourself, then that is great!

Speaking of mid life crisis. My nearly 400 lb MIL bought herself a convertible. I can just imagine her in that car

I just received an email from AR (my favorite CM)

She wrote in part

I want to thank you for that great letter you wrote to WDW on my behalf. Believe it or not, it took until late January before it finally reached me. The good part was it was sent all the way up to the desk of Erin Wallace, WDW Senior Vice President of Operations and I was presented with a Disney "Star" Pin (really neat pin) and a special Cast Member Recognition and copy of the letter signed off by Erin "Arlene, thank you for making magical memories for our guests". It was read at one of our team meetings and I was presented the pin. It was really neat!! Thanks for making a magical moment for me.


I was surprised at the lengths that Disney went with this. I'm very impressed.

Just wanted to pop in quickly and with you a safe trip, Elizabeth!

Good night, DDA.

Don't know anything more about it, but I saw this mentioned on the Dec'08 code thread. Lyndsey - Don't know if you could take advantage of it. Bernadette, want to add a Dec trip, say the 5-15, and tag me on as a 2nd room?

BTW, there is a new bounceback going on now that covers 11/30 to 12/13 (Super excited since this covers ALL of my dates!! I just hope there is still availability at the GF when we get there in May!!) 30% off Deluxes and Mods and 40% villas (not sure about the values..)

I'm sorry that I've been MIA the last few days. This week has been H E L L

Tuesday was the bus incident. It appears that 2 kids have been suspended as a result. Today I brought a box of chocolates out to the bus driver to Thank him for looking out for my kids. He was shocked, but I wanted him to know that we were thankful that he dealt appropriately with the situation. I also hope that it keeps him motivated to continue to do so.

Yesterday I stopped by Best Buy to check on the status of a TV that I had brought in for potential repair. I paid $35 to have them ship it to a repair center to be diagnoses. They were to call to let me know what was wrong and to give the a repair cost. The initial paperwork gave an estimate of $64 I hadn't heard anything so I stopped in last week and they were going to look into it and contact me, but still nothing. Yesterday they pull it up and tell me that it has been fixed and that I owe an additional $140 I did not authorize the repair and certainly would not have. It is a 3 year old TV and I'd rather put that $140 into buying a new one with a warranty. I still have no idea what they plan to do about it as the tv did work (though poorly) before I dropped it off.

This morning I got up with high expectation of getting a lot done on Nick's room. I started by heading into Hunter's room to hang the closet doors. I inadvertedly put my hand on his desk only to leave a huge void. His entire room was covered in a white dust. I thought that my mother must have sanded while I was at work (which I had told her NOT to do). I started cleaning his room (which was completely brand spanken new on Monday. Then I noticed the dust on all of our electronics in the living room. After 4 hours of cleaning I was in tears as I felt like I had been set back by DAYS not just hours. I called my mother (crying no less) and she swore that she hadn't sanded, but she would come down to help me clean. As I went back into Nick's room I picked up a hammer that was speckled with white paint and the dust. Well I had used the hammer before work yesterday which meant the dust occurred last night. It turns out that Chris had used our new paint sprayer to pain the doors and it had created a white vapor that travelled throughout the house leaving a white dust. Thankfully it comes off by dusting, but what a mess. And to make matters worse the paint gun had left the door all blotchy so I had to hand paint them anyway. So now I am way behind schedule and totally stressed out. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

If I miss you, have a safe trip!

Elizabeth,
Have a safe trip.

Thanks!

If you were Elizabeth you could.

Kristine, shall I notify you if I find luggage on sale? Gnomes don't like to be shipped, they prefer to be carried on.

Elizabeth - safe travels for you and DS this weekend.

Thank you!

Hope the bruising resolves quickly!

Don't get too chatty on me tonight, ok? I'm leaving in a few minutes to go to book club. We are discussing "Water for Elephants". This is a fabulous book! I loved it and can't wait to find out what the other ladies thought. There is a lot of sex in it, though, and a couple of our members are pretty conservative! Should be interesting!

Maybe I should read that one. I don't even have a magazine for the plane.

i went to pets mart today to get another beta. mine died last week. well i came out with a 1 gallon tank set, 2 mollys, a snail, and a plant for the tank. I have it set up on my desk and my mom hasn't even noticed it . i am waiting to see how long it takes her. my desk is in the same room she sews in and she is sewing a quilt right now

Enjoy your new fish!

Deb - it sounds like you need a break! What a week you have had. I sure hope that today brings you more accomplishments on your to-do list and less aggravation.

No...the kids want "regular, normal" gnomes

You mean Disney isn't normal?

We have whomping thunderstorms right now, but our flight is showing "on time" so I guess I better get ready to go!

I hope everybody has a great weekend! I will have my cell phone in case you guys need to get ahold of me. I may be able to check in from my mom's or my cousin's, but I may just wait until Sunday when I get home.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Vicki,
Hope you heal fast. I want pictures of the new corvette when you buy it!

Chanon,
I know, I know!! My kids will definately want to stray from Disneyworld to go to the Harry Potter park.

Deb,
So nice to see that AR was recognized! Is she still on the Dream Team at HS or did she move?

 

[mommykds]

It is absolutely POURING here. The rain sounds like golfballs hitting the roof.

2 weeks from today we will be heading to the airport & hopefully to wonderful sunny skies!

Today my plan is to get all the kids clothes packed in their ziplocs & in the suitcase. They still have no idea!!!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Good morning, it's cold and dreary outside. It is suppose to rain most of today and tomorrow so I am sure that Mo's soccer will be canceled.

Call me crazy but I am so excited today! The New Kids on the Block are going to be on the Today show this morning. My girlfriends and I were totally into them back when they were big. It's like going back in time, except they are all pushing 40, I think they need a name change!

Emma has early dismissal today. Of course, it's during nap time Tonight we are supposed to go out for my cousin's 21st birthday. I am not at all into the whole bar scene so it will be a long night.

 

[KMH1]

THANK YOU!​

Thank you so much for all of Alyssa's birthday wishes. She really got a kick out of seeing her name and all the clip art, especially the Fancy Nancy pictures.

Thanks Robyn, Mo, Emma, and Lucy for the cute Fancy Nancy ecard too!
