No, we left the laptop at the store to be "optimized". We also don't have a wireless router, so it won't be much use at home until we get one! The Uncles had 2 they weren't using so I am hoping the offer for us to have one still stands!
Eek! That is high! I didn't even talk with DH any more about buying a membership yet, but I'll keep you in the loop! DS *might* have Oct. 17 off depending on when they have Fair Day. Elementary is one week, and middle & high school is the week after.

Tia - I hope Phil is feeling better soon and that the Dr.s can figure out what is wrong!

Emma has off the 17th for staff development. I hope it fits into Joe's schedule

I think I paid about $188 the last time I flew there so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Good night, Glynis!
Brother recited a list of sticky things for me one day. Band Aids are sticky, stickers are sticky, sticky tape is sticky. Let's add your peanut and agree that s/he is also VERY sticky!

Robyn, good luck finishing the party prep!

If only I could drag my butt off the computer

Man, you guys were chatty this evening.

And this afternoon too.

Hope the rain stays away from you too!!!

I was thinking the Only Bagg would be a perfect diaper bag!

Thanks! It is perfect, I switched them over in the parking lot

I just got a phone call that I passed my 3-hour Glucose Tolerance Test with flying colors! You can only fail one out of four levels, and I was significantly lower than the cutoff on all 4! This isn't totally surprising to me, since my blood sugar tends to run EXTREMELY low (as in, I have frequently passed out without monitoring it). Somehow, though, I failed the challenge (I still think they mixed up my sample with someone else! ) so I assumed maybe things had swung the other way while my pancreas is working for 3 people.

Either way, I'm glad. Mostly because I was worried I'd have to go out and buy all of the supplies, only to end up in the hospital right after and not need my own!

Yay!

Emma's dress is done except for the buttons and buttonholes. It was going great until she tried it on and it was way to long. It looked goofy-looked homemade so I took it apart and cut 4 inches off. I pinned it up and tried it on before I cut it so hopefully it will look cute now. She's asleep now. Joe slept through the lights on and the sewing-I have the sewing machine on his desk.

Hope SIL can help me out with the buttonholes tomorrow. I want to make Halley's sleep pants before the trip so I can take them with me. I got her flannel with flamingos as she loves flamingos. I saw the same fabric in cotton sheeting and thought it might be nice to make her some PJ shorts she could actually wear now in FL. The other projects will have to wait as now my neck is killing me so I want to take a break and get better for the trip. And I have to pack! Have to do my Owner's Locker box this weekend to ship via UPS on Monday.

 

[Tammi67]

Thank you all for the prayers for Mary & her family. This is just so heartbreaking. I keep thinking of his little boy that will never really know his dad. I keep seeing them at work yesterday playing hide & seek & hearing Tyler's(he just turned 2, I posted the wrong age earlier) little squeals of delight when he would see Matt. They had a beautiful last day together & that I guess we can be thankful for.

& to all I have missed.

This is just heartbreaking.

Bob and I met online... (Tammi - Jinx you owe me a drink! )
We talked for about three months online, then progressed to the phone and then met in person after that. July Fourth we went to Blossom Music Festival - our outdoor pavilion/music center - for their fourth of July orchestra show and fireworks. There's been fireworks ever since!


Can you rent a tent last minute?

I didn't know that!

No on the tent. I've got too much $$$ put into this as it is.

 

[Tammi67]

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in with a quick hi. I'm way behind because it has been a crazy week! Plus, Terra and I are going camping with Rachel's Girl Scout troop this weekend so I'll be gone a few more days.

Phil stayed in major abdonimal pain off and on through Monday. He saw the dr Mon afternoon and he suspected gall stones. Scheduled an ultrasound for Tues morn and send home with a script for some meds. Well, those meds didn't do jack and we ended up at the ER at midnight Mon night. Got home at 5am with a script for Prilosec in case its an ulcer and for vicodin. Ultrasound Tues morning showed no stones so we're leaning toward the ulcer dx. The meds seem to be helping some, but he's still pretty queasy and often feels weak. Hopefully the GI dr will call back tomorrow to make the appt.

Otherwise, I've spent the week trying to catch up on all of the sleep lost sitting with him through the weekend pain and then at the ER.

I hope all is well. Seeings as how I'm God knows how far behind, I may just jump in here. Please let me know if I missed anything big! I hope that everyone is doing well. and all around.

for both you and Phil. I hope you hear something soon!

 

[Tammi67]

You have all the PD you need, but don't worry... you have plenty of room for people to mill around!

I know, but I don't want milling INSIDE my house!

So American Express (my Jet Blue card) sent me an email that if I fly between something like May 1st and May 15th they will "buy me a drink"-just show your Amex to the flight attendant.

Then I get an email from Owner's Locker that they want to buy all members who are in Epcot on May 6th from 7:30pm til Illuminations a drink.

Too bad I'm not much of a drinker. I can't see me drinking on a 9:30am flight and I'm afraid if I drink on the 6:45pm flight home I'll fall asleep. Not sure if I can make it to Epcot for the Owner's Locker event.

One last thing before I go...

Eric and I met when he started working at the same store, CompUSA, as I did in the late summer early fall of '94. There were a bunch of kids our age that all hung out together after work and on the weekends. We didn't start dating until near the end of January 95. Our first date was to The Lion King, it was playing at the dollar theater. Both of us really wanted to see it and hadn't yet so it was perfect. We ended the night at Taco Bell, very romantic-huh, (it was right next door to the theather, and talked for a few hours. I can remember that one of our co-workers, Dora, was so excited that Eric and I hooked up. She had been pushing for it for a long time, but both of us sort of danced around it for a while. Sadly, the week after our first date Dora was murdered. It was horrific, we were all just barely 20. She met a guy a few weeks earlier and he killed her for drug money the night of the Superbowl. She was actually missing for about a week or so before she was found. I think we sort of just stuck together after that.

But by May, Eric and I went our separate ways. I had found a new job and our schedules weren't working out so well and he wanted to spend every last second of time that we could together. I felt smothered and wanted some "me" time too. We both still lived at home and it was just too much.

We than ran into each other again at the bowling alley in January of '97. It took about a week or two after that before we had another "first" date. My girlfriend called him and had him call me, she and I thought something was still there a year and a half later and we were both single.

This time it worked, We were engaged that May, at the wishing well at Cinderella's Castle. And it will be 10 years this October that we got married.

What a nice story, except of course the part about Dora. How horrible.

Man, you guys were chatty this evening.

they sure were!!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Oh, yeah...and I need a few opinions if anyone has them. I did something extremely impulsive last night (well, impulsive for me, I've actually been thinking about it for several weeks). I still can't believe that dh ok'd it.

Anyway, I'm taking my younger two to WDW in August! I have non-refundable airfare booked. This has to be a budget trip, and I have never stayed at any of the Value resorts (family of 5 and all). Pop or All-Stars?

Thanks!

Beth,
I totally missed that it was just the 3 of you. If you stay at ASMu you'll have a friend close by. Not that any of us who will be at WDW wouldn't come to Pop if you needed anything.

You might want to check out the ASMu thread.

Well, I read it all but don't remember it all!

I hope everyone has a great evening.

sounds like Phil is in need of and prayers.

Have fun this weekend!!

 

[babytrees]

You're welcome! I would have emailed them to you, but I miswrote them for myself the last time I took a code with me so I thought that would be easier.

I see Juno in my future for this weekend

 

[Tammi67]

Nicholas just woke up and came in my room. I asked him what he wanted and he said he wants someone to tell him how many eyelashes he has. I can hardly type this without giggling. Then he started stammering about something and again I asked what he wanted and this time he said Kinzcash. That must have been some dream he was having!

 

[Tammi67]

My parents got in this afternoon. We all went to Nicholas' soccer game, which they lost, then came home and had pizza for dinner. Tomorrow my mom will start making some of the food for Saturday and my dad will wash all the pollen off of the porch and deck.

 

[Tammi67]

Denise - I hope you all have a wonderful trip!

 

[babytrees]

I really need to stop procrastinating and start assembling King Kandy's castle and Grandma Nutt's house before I head off to bed. I don't have a lot left to do before Saturday but it feels like a lot. Thankfully the little stuff is done. Tomorrow I just have to decorate the cake and then get the food items prepared.

Emma is spending the night at her girlfriend's house tomorrow night and I am hoping that I can get Mo over to my in-law's for the night. It would be so much easier with her trying to help

I will chat with you all tomorrow. Good night!

Before I forget...last week I popped in down to the Children's Area at work and Anna had told me "Mom's painting Willy Wonka". I go in and say "It looks like Candy Land". Both painters laughed and said that I must have played it too much. Nah...It just reminded me of your family!!

 

[ReAnSt]

Hi, Hope you all have a great weekend. I will probably not be on again until Monday or Tuesday. Monday I am taking my test.

I have to pack stuff tomorrow, for everything through Sunday night. Although I may be home before then. I need to plan for the entire weekend away from home. I still do not know details of when I need to be where. Or what I am required to wear at certain places. I am sure I will get that information tomorrow after I have already left home.

I need to type up some stuff for my class, before I leave home as well. Way too much to do too little time. What is new there?

Have a great weekend everyone I am headed to bed. Although I should probably work on some of this stuff tonight yet.
