DDA Chapter 9

[UP Disney]

My DDil is the far left, I'm next, the thins ones are the grandkids and my son is next to my daughter. Yes, my family ... we're the blown up ones!!!

My DDil just had a baby and is the healthiest woman.

I've got to get my Mii smaller!!!

Woman, you make me laugh! I can't tell you how much I enjoy your posts. I told my Aunt Lola all about you last night. She is the "Stephanie" of my family. She is my favorite aunt (that is saying a lot since there are 12 of them before marriage). She was a clown for years. We always did fun things at her house.

You can do this! I look forward to seeing the slimmer, fitter you!!!!!

Such a young'in, I'm old enough to be your mom.

Me too. Katrina will be 23 this September. It will be her golden birthday. Becky turns 20 next Sunday.

 

[UP Disney]

Alright everyone, time to get personal. How old are you?

I am 41 and John will be 43 July 26th

I'm 46 and will be 47 in November. Chuck just turned 48 in April.

 

[UP Disney]

47, DH will be 53 July 23rd.



Thanks-it is more difficult than it should be to find good buttons. We used to have the coolest button shop in the mall near my office years ago.

You might check out Goodwill or St. Vincent's. Mom gets a lot of her notions by buying clothes with cool ones. Sometimes it is cheaper than buying brand new buttons. Lots of times they have some really cool ones as well.

Anyone watching Wimbledon (all freaking day!)?

Ive been flipping back and forth--im actually watching Deadliest Catch Marathon

Im so excited now! after i got the credit with airtran, i called to see if i could apply my credit towards the 75.00 changing fee and get on an earlier flight that would land the same time as my cousins. So when i called, the flight i wanted to switch to was 20.00 cheaper, so it was only 55.00 to change--and i had a 57.00 credit! I ended up paying 10.00 to choose my seats. I was planning on paying 25.00 at the airport on saturday to switch flights so i ended up saving money--i am thrilled and will land 5 minutes after my cousin!!!
So thanks for talkaign about the airfare lately--it made me keep checking!

That's awesome! I actually have read (I thought in their policies) that airtran doesn't give a credit, so I don't know if it's new or just written so people don't ask.... I certainly will from now on, though!

The tennis match is nuts. It's going on about 7 hours (total, almost 5 of playing plus rain delays). I am in total awe of these two! (Even more than I was when they were "just" great!)

I can honestly say I did not realize that you could take a Disney bus from park to park. I have never noticed these bus stops at the parks, am I the only one

Guess I will look next month!

Really? You didn't know this? That is how Chuck and I got between the parks when we picked up the Disney prints in March. Sometimes we take the train or monorail instead. It's amazing how you can learn new things all the time about Disney - no matter how familiar you are with it.

Im watching now..its driving me nuts!

I did not think they did credits either...i actually read it on the DIS the other day!

Elin, when did you become a Dis sponsor?

It was in honor of her 15,000 posts (or was it 10,000). It was in the last couple of months. I'm considering also signing up in honor of mine. I figure I should support something that gave me all my DDA friends.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Jennifer--this match is making me nuts...its crazy!

I have to get stuff done now!

 

[UP Disney]

I walked the 6K in Engadine this week-end. My dad and a high school teacher were responsible for building it into a race that people want to run every year. It was almost cancelled a couple of times. There were 2 full buses of 6K runners this year. Plus, there were some that came to the starting line on their own. There is also a 12K and I'm hoping that I'll be able to run that next year. I walked at a very steady pace this year as I wanted a starting point for my training. I am quite excited as I did 15.67 minute miles. At this point, I don't think I could maintain that for 13.1 miles but 6K is supposedly 3.7 miles.

what an ending! Did the person you wanted to win win ?

What a beautiful picture!

I really don't know. I like both guys... it's a bit sad to see the 'changing of the guard', but kind of cool as well. Rafa was adorable though, and so excited!

Nope. Deadliest Catch.
I need to go get groceries.

Vicki - Is that really all a 6K is in miles? I know a 5K is just over 3. I thought a 6K would be more. Anyway, sounds like you did well!

Glynis - No clue on the best deal for a Wii Fit. Sorry! I'll think blue thoughts for your Peanut!

I know--i loved seeing his reaction!!
Federer was never my favorite--because i loved andy roddick and federer always beat him! so i was rooting for nadal!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Nope. Deadliest Catch.

so it is YOUR fault i was watching deadliest catch all day!!!!

Hi folks..

I am sick....I was around a gaggle of kids on Saturday....and have been suffering from a sore throat since. I broke down and went to the doctor today. She didn't really diagnose me....but gave me drugs...so I am happy

I need to man up because we have plans tonight...so hopefully the meds kick in quick.

In other news...(and I am totally blaming Chanon)we booked that 3 day cruise on the Magic that she was talking about....and...it's only Bill & I! We will spend 2 days at Boardwalk...3 days on the cruise...and then 4 days at OKW (although we are wait listed at BW & BC.) I think Bill is more excited than I am.

GOOD LUCK tomorrow Amy!!!!

Glynis...I have enjoyed reading your trip report. I am thinking of doing a trip to Germany...Bill is being resistant though. He is trying to tell me that visiting Germany in Epcot is enough for him!!

Good for you. I wanted to check into this as well. It sounded perfect. I don't know how I'm going to handle not going to Disney until March.

Sorry I have been MIA again.

I could use some extra prayers and pixie dust if you have any to spare. I know that the DDA is a powerful group, and I could use all the extra power that I can get.

Mom was admitted into the hospital last week because she fell. She also went into one of her episodes that she couldn't remember anything or anyone. We all thought that maybe she had a mini stroke. She was getting better and was due to be released on Monday morning. Around noon on Monday she took a turn for the worse, and isn't responding to anything. The doctors really don't know what is the problem. She is having another test run today. They think she might be having seizures, but are not sure. She sure doesn't look good. My brothers and I don't really want to remember mom this way.
Normally she perks back up within 24 hours or so, but she has shown no improvement. Actually she is falling deeper and deeper into a coma like state.
Sorry for the downer post. But I really need all the help I can get right now.

and prayers for your mother and your family. I hope to see an update as I finish catching up.
