DDA Chapter 6

And so begins my descent into the clutches of evil...
We just got back from Dunkin Donuts. Words can not describe how good these donuts are. I bought a dozen.

Elin - I hope you feel better!!

Darn! I missed the hacking episode! I was on the phone with my cousin for about an hour after Princess went to bed so I didn't get in on the drama. I DO think I have been to that site before. I used to have a link but I guess I deleted it.

Good to know..i really dont wanna spend too much!! Do the 2 GB cards hold a lot of pictures? how many will i need?

I have a 2GB XD card, and even on a ridiculous setting (ie, printable up to 16x24 or something), it holds over 1000 pictures. If you have smaller resolutions, it literally can hold over 10,000. No joke!

Just get one

ETA: See below for details

I see Ding fares in the $50-60 range.

I've chosen Fantasia for us.

I think there should be green tights as well.

thanks Tammi,
I went ahead and booked flights as I am afraid they might not get cheaper.

Fantasia sounds cool, thanks

well Jeff vetoed peter pan so back to the drawing board for costumes

I am not feeling well this morning. I woke up in the middle of the night with a migraine (I get them once a decade or so) and my tummy has been "off" ever since. It is not anything I ate or drank yesterday because Bob ate exactly the same things and I only had 1 1/2 glasses of wine.

I need to feel better in the next couple of hours because we are moving a keyboard from my studio over to the University for our concert and then I have to sing tonight. blech....

Oh, I hope you feel better quickly!

She needs at least 2. Unless she's bringing her PC with her so she can upload them at night.

Sorry, but I have to disagree! I just grabbed my camera, with a blank 2GB card. Here are the specs:

0.3M (good for internet, etc sharing) = 15996 pictures
2M (printable to 8x10 with good quality) = 3199 pictures
3M (printable to 8.5x11 with good quality) = 2558 pictures
6M (printable to 16x20 with good quality) = 1375 pictures
12M(N) (printable over 20x30" with good quality) = 845 pictures
12M(F) (printable over 24x36" with superior quality) = 425 pictures


Bernadette, even you and I wouldn't have to upload any I don't think, at least not every night!

I figured out how to get on the boards the site was re-directing to last night. Apparently a bunch of people who post on both sites (here and there) have been banned from here now. Interesting, interesting.

Jen - I always bring more than one memory card, just in case something happens to the one I planned to use. If they sell memory cards on the ship I PROMISE they will be horribly expensive!

If you want an easy Peter Pan costume do this:

Buy a green turtle neck that is a few sizes to big for Jeff.

Cut the bottom off in a jagged pattern

Do the same to make short sleeves

cut a straight cut through the turtle neck part and down into the shirt creating a V neck.

Add a belt and green shorts and voila Instant Peter Pan

I did that for Nick several years ago only he had leggins as it was cold here.



I'm glad that you are getting responses this year I can't wait to see which one pans out

come on over...we have it DVR'd

Thanks Deb

that Nicholas enjoys playing baseball!

Ditto

Speaking of kids, have I told you all that his ex has picked up and moved to St. Augustine, FL. She is giving Bob custody of Bethany during the school year, and she wants her for 8 weeks in the summer. Her house here in VA was foreclosed on, so she quit her job and moved to FL with what Bob calls her "flavor of the month". Actually she has been dating this guy since the fall. I just can't believe that a mother would leave her child behind to move with her latest fling. It's pretty much a done deal, they are just working out the formalities of holiday visitations. Good for Bob, but her behavior is very sad, IMO.

for Bethany

Guess what babies just got a package?! (Addressed specifically to them, which I got a kick out of!) Inside was an adorable outfit set (lots of mix & match pieces) that said "I'm the Little Miracle that Came True"

And......


The girls' first custom outfits! How cute is this?!

The tag reads "Fun in the Sun with Pooh and Friends; HandMade original by the Old Vermonter"

Thank you, Brooks family!


(So seriously... how much work is the actual sewing? Because I would LOVE the designing and the dressing.... but the in between stuff, I'm not so sure about. You all are going to have me hooked though! Well, I mean, if I could figure out how. Oh, and where to find a sewing machine )

Deb love the outfit you made

With the littler ones, I'd probably agree with this! It's lots of fun and a little easier than Fantasia from what I've heard. When she was 13mo, Terra loved crawling (wasn't walking yet) around the course while Rachel and I played.

Thanks Heidi and Tia

Jen - a 2GB card will hold hundreds of pictures. I cannot imagine you would need more than that!

Thanks!

I saw all the people that got banned on that site too--its carzy


Thanks for all the info about the memory cards..i honestly have NO idea with cameras at all!

Do brands matter when picking a memory card?

I missed the drama too...and I "had" to have donuts this morning also...but from a local place. OH so yummy!! I am glad we can't afford to do it very often.

Elin-I hope you feel better pronto!! My stomach will feel off after a migraine/big headache.

stranger, stranger.

I have the first one and found it at Office Depot for less than that.

Donuts are the best! But you are right - they are expensive. And it is 12 miles round trip to go get them. But it was worth it!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Jen - We have some of that SanDisk brand. They seem to do just fine. Of course we now have 3 different types of memory in our cameras. I think we have SD, XD, and compact flash if I am not mistaken. Having all of the cameras take the same media would have been far too simple!

Ooh, now that's definitely a good point. I wouldn't buy 2 that large though, personally, in an effort to save money! If you don't end up needing the second, it seems like a big waste to me to have a $80+ card (although I'm sure the SDs aren't as bad, and that's been a while at that price - I think now that they've been out a while, even the XDs are less) sitting around with no pictures on it!

ETA: And, if you're like me, having 4GB of pictures would be the nail in the coffin of never getting the pictures off of the camera!

 

[babytrees]

Off to worship now. Abi received her God and Family award this morning at my work church (2 years after earning it ) and we hightailed it out of there after she got it...which is why we had time to go get donuts .

JcPenney's is having it's friends & family sale today....promised we'd go there...Cassidy is looking for something for her sister's birthday. Then Claire's and home to do LOTS of Laundry It's beautiful here today.

Everybody have great days!!

I don't think it matters tremendously. With SD cards, you do have a lot of options, but I would go with one that I've at least heard of. I'm no expert, sothe second might be phenomenal, but I've never heard of that brand. I have a Sandisk SD card for my Palm Pilot, and it's been just fine. They make a lot of computer stuff, and are very reputable.

Looks great deb!

Finally caught up

I can sympathize with this!

 

[UP Disney]

That's what I should do! I've been using my own bags, but wish I had some more. I totally need to make myself some Disney one!!

So how do you make shopping bags?

 

[UP Disney]

Tell me this, though -- is it at all cost-effective, or is it just another expensive hobby like my photoshopping turned out to be? When I made a fleece blanket for my sister for Christmas, it turned out to be a HECK of a lot more expensive than just buying one!

It can definitely be more expensive. However, if you watch for sales and get creative, it can be less expensive. My mom buys clothes from St. Vincent's and Goodwill for material sometimes.
