DDA Chapter 6

[bethbuchall]

I don't remember my first concert. I do know that I saw REO Speedwagon, Rush, Peter Paul and Mary, Tom Paxton, Meatloaf, and Goo Goo Dolls (and maybe another one or two that I can't remember) when I was younger.

The funny thing is that Matthew has been to two concerts: Goo Goo Dolls and Meatloaf. A friend had tickets to Goo Goo Dolls and invited him. I bought him two Meatloaf tickets for Christmas a couple of years ago, and he ended up taking me.

they use that word ALL the time here....I have gotten so used to it, I accidentally used it on a client...who in turn looked at me like I was NUTS!

"Chillax"? Thats one I haven't heard...
My first concert was the Monkees when I was 12.

 

[MrsHeg]

I remember my first concert like it was yesterday, I was head over heels with my date. Too bad he dumped me to go back to his ex.

We saw Little River Band

I also attended the First Annual Day of Rock and Roll in the SuperDome,

we saw,
Sammy Hagar
Blue Oyster Cult
Van Halen
Journey
Boston
Heart
We were there for over 13 hours, people were passed out everywhere.

Elizabeth,

What day and where is the DDA meal in August, it is still a big maybe but we are seriously considering a three day trip.

I got the princess dresses. I think that my niece will love them. Mom found some stuff at St. Vincent's for my nephew's Prince Charming outfit. We'll be working on that later this week.

I'm sure your niece will love the dresses. Can't wait to see what you do for your nephew!

I love my Overland Donner bag. It is a gorgeous color and I think it will be perfect with the compartments in it. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Lindsay for being an enabler!

Glad you love it! I'm always searching for the perfect bag but I can't really wear anything around my neck with my camera so I'm sticking with a daypack for now. At least I can hang it on the stroller between rides.

Un Frickin Believable...

Hope you got some resolution for this!

I need to sleep as I have a lot to do tomorrow. My mother helped today. We painted from 9 AM - 4 PM. The hall and entry ceilings are painted as well as most of the trim in those areas. Chris gave the doors a coat of paint tonight. I can't tell you how much I hate painting

Are you almost done? Won't it be great when it is all done!!!!!

Morning DDA!

Question for you experts ( ) If we transfer from Universal to Disney at 7am - and it's about a 24 minute drive no traffic on I-4 - and it's Columbus Day - do you think we'd still be able to check in at the resort, transfer to EPCOT for a Segway Tour that starts at 9am? We have to be in the park by 8:45, and I have to pick up our tickets before entering. We plan on just doing a taxi from the hotel to EPCOT....

That seems a bit tight for me. I would be rather leave Universal at 6:30 then be all worried that something would get mess up.

It's also my first baby's 17th birthday.

Happy Birthday Matthew!!!!!

Tomorrow is our anniversary.

Happy Anniversary!!!!

and decorate the Snickers cheesecake that I baked last night.

That sounds good!

Breakfast at Crystal Palace is mandatory, not optional.

That's what I was thinking!

We got this bag in at work yesterday. I'm thinking it might become my carry on. But ours is only 9.99! I do wish they had different colors though!

That's cool!

Good Morning DDA-

In honor of my post count I thought I would thank all of the wonderful ladies (and gentlemen) of this family. I came along on the original thread and have found some awesome friends and chosen family along the way.

I came to you all three months ago stating real life stunk and you rallied around me then through PM's and support on the thread. Last week, I had another batch of PM's in dealing with Cassidy.

While real life still stinks, in some ways more so than before, I am taking the advice I read yesterday and saying "I Choose Joy!"

Thank you my family for all of your love-

Congrats on 14,000!

Aidan Update:

Elin-thanks for the update! Prayers for Aidan.

My Chemical Romance

Great, huh?

I'm sure they will love it!

Elizabeth and Lindsay-- I'm so glad that we ended up not meeting on Saturday because of the extra soccer games. Jake was sick on Sunday, and I was sick Sunday night/yesterday. We think my nephew gave it to us, as my SIL was also sick on Sunday. We saw him on Thursday, so I most likely would have transferred the icky virus I had to you, your family, Caroline etc. In this case, things did happen for a good reason!

Thanks for all the PD for Jake. He was feeling much better and went to school yesterday. Since I don't have a back-up for the kids (used to be Mom) I had to drive in to pick the kids up, but the babysitter met me half way. I then struggled through getting the kids dressed, took Jake to soccer practice, then to his baseball game and Andrew's baseball practice. I waited at the baseball game in the car (no make-up or hair done but I did brush my teeth ) until Randy got there around 6:30. I tell ya, a Mom is never supposed to get sick.

I feel better today and did come in to work -- no fever but just weak. I may take a nap later, before I go pick up the kids. Andrew does have a baseball game tonight at 6.

For any of those I missed over the last couple of days who need extra TLC, here's some PD.

You need to take care of yourself too!!! Hope you're feeling 100% soon!

I am looking forward to trying this in May!

I'm looking forward to going back!

We also had no wait, and there was no one else waiting behind us either, so they had a good long time with us. Piglet was missing that day, and apparently, so was Matthew. I don't remember why Matthew didn't join us.

Mary Poppins and/or Alice are usually out in the main part of the store. Then if you keep heading to the back, you will find Pooh and friends in their own little room.

Be sure to stay for British Invasion. They are even worth sitting in the rain for.

Love the pictures! Miles & Laura look so young! Lizzy & Halley saw the Pooh characters there one slow day and the characters did ring around the rosie with them.

I'm sorry I haven't been replying to everyone's post. I really do wish the best for everyone, I'm just pitiful at keeping up.

Elizabeth,

What day and where is the DDA meal in August, it is still a big maybe but we are seriously considering a three day trip.

Thursday 8/14 at 5:30pm at Cape May at the Beach Club. It is Elizabeth, her DH & DS, Janet and her boys, my party of 5 and Tammi, herBob, and kids. You've got to come so you can meet Joe.

 

[lovesdumbo]

....and I finally mastered thumbnail photos too.

I often do the "and hugs to " to all too.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Janet-I got Cape May for Thursday May 8th at 10:55. Should we go with that and cancel OHana? I would be happy with either one with a slight edge to Cape May so Emma & I can hit Soarin' and Test Track.

OHana is nice because it is served family style so its a bit more relaxing but I think the food is better at Cape May.

She did put us at 2 tables for 2. She said they have tables for 2, tables for 3-4 and tables for 4. She said they had tables for 4 but not 3-4 and she couldn't put us at a table for 4. She was SURE we would be seated together. I'm am too-it is one of the last sittings and the place really clears out around then. I have ADR's before with "split" tables and always got seated together-and much bigger party size.

You are doing better than I have been!

Me too!

Because I do a horrible job at posting pictures as I go (here), I'll let you know that the blog has updated shower pictures, etc from the last several weekends and will have ultrasound pictures (not great ones.... the girls are getting too crowded ) in just a few minutes. But first, some familiar faces...

(GRR... so now that everything is on Picasa, it's a pain to post pictures on the vBulletin boards like the DIS . Here are just a few then, since I had to move them to photobucket. The rest are in a Picasa link on the site, if you're interested... including all of the (adorable!) decorated onesies. Sorry!)

 

[tinker1bell]

my first concert way way back was the Rascals. 1965

Then in Hawaii, Hal and I saw Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. 1972

Later I saw Isaiac Hayes. He was awesome. 1973
We had just left and then Elvis came to Hawaii.

Then when I was 37, I saw Chicago and the Beach Boys. That was the best ever.

 

[tink2020]

Ooh, my friend sent me some super cute ones of a few DISers.....

 

[Blueeyes101817]

jennifer--great pictures!

 

[tink2020]

jennifer--great pictures!

Thanks!


With that, I have to get off the computer. I've spent way too much time on here, considering yesterday I didn't get anything done around the house either! Still, I suppose I can consider my time somewhat productive!

I hope nobody has any post office/tax day stuff left to deal with! Have a great night!

Must be a regional term.

Elizabeth,

I see that Bernadette has filled you in, but I just wanted to say we would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have you guys join us! Since Jennifer changed her dates we have seats open. (Even if Jennifer had kept her August dates I would have added you to the ADR. )

Thursday 8/14 at 5:30pm at Cape May at the Beach Club. It is Elizabeth, her DH & DS, Janet and her boys, my party of 5 and Tammi, herBob, and kids. You've got to come so you can meet Joe.

Joe is very cute. You should definitely come meet him! Of course the other DDA kidlets in the bunch are also pretty cool...

I didn't mean that the others kidlets weren't cute....that goes without saying. Debbie very nicely gave Lizzy & Halley beads when she met us in November and she even brought some for Joe & Emma. The kids wrote her thank you notes and Joe wanted to sing her a song in his note so he asked me to write out the lyrics for him.
