10 days until we know what this little peep is!

We are getting snow dumped on us as I type. about 2 inches so far. Yesterday the kids were running around in sweatshirts. Today....full winter gear.

Welcome to Michigan folks! Last week we had 2 glorious days of the 60's. Today...yucky snow.

Have you guys seen that new Subway (or is it Quiznos???) commercial????

This couple are in a drive thru and the guy orders a "Blubber" and the lady orders "Thunder Thighs" with a side of "Buh Dunka-Dunk Butt" !!!!!

I just about laughed my bum off (which wouldn't be so bad!)

It's a great day!

Does this sound crazy?

Since this baby on the way put our future disney trip on hold, I'm trying to squeeze in a mini trip over star wars weekends. June.

We'd drive down, spend 2-3 nights. Visit 2 maybe 3 parks and drive home.

The drive is 24 hours. Each way.

My husband smiles and kisses my forhead when he sees me looking for all the bargains.

Mal is still free until August. We can still get a single room at a value until then as well.


I'm not crazy right?

Happy Birthday S'Late!!!

LYNDA....The fur babies are adorable as always...as is the picture quality, sister! Good job! Are external hard drives expensive? We may need one. Mimi is filling up the smallish hard drive on this computer now that her picture quality is much better and files are larger.

Thank you! Yeah, I bet she is filling it up fast! I got my external drive on sale at Best Buy. Watch the Sunday ads for their deals. They usually have something if you watch the ads for a few weeks. We got my 500GB one for a REALLY good deal, and now I can't remember what it was. I wanna say $100. I'm pretty sure that's right. I like to have multiple backups, especially since I am hoping to go pro. I have DVDs, the external drive, the smugmug site (they back up at 3 separate locations for you), and DH wants me to get a fire safe to store a set DVDs in, and I agree. I also have the Disney vacation pictures on our desktop now because it has a larger hard drive. I love my external drive though because I can plug the different computers into it to do back up, and it's so easy to keep track of everything with it all in one place.

First of all, I'm so excited to find out what you are having! I can't believe you find out so soon!

And no, it doesn't sound crazy. I mean, the savings on Mal sound significant! We have done a short trip before and driven. We arrived on a Friday and left on Monday afternoon. We set foot in 3 parks. It was a meet, so we spent most of our time in MK and MGM because that was how it worked out with the others going. We did run into AK on Monday before we left because my mom was with us, and she had never been there. But that was very brief. It was a short trip, and we think we would fly if we do a short trip again, but mostly to save the time off work for both of us. I wouldn't be opposed to driving on a short trip again, but I would think about it. Also, it's only a 16 hour drive for us. Don't know if I would do it if it were 24, but if it were my last chance to go for several months, and I was going to save some money, I'd probably be doing what you are doing. So no, I don't think you are crazy! Then again, maybe I'm just crazy too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, S'LATE!!!
Save some cake for me! Virtual cake is the best kind!

OMG! How cute is that puppy?! My sister got her lab when he was that little...now he is a moose! I wish they stayed so little and cute.

DANCE....Who cares if they're maternity?! My daughter...who is so skinny she almost disappears when she turns sideways...love those Liz Lange maternity clothes at Target. Now that the long shirts are back in style, she shops there a lot. Enjoy!

That actually makes me feel alot better. Thanks everyone. I will take a 14 any way I can get it! I havent seen that size in over 8 yrs.

Have you guys seen that new Subway (or is it Quiznos???) commercial????

This couple are in a drive thru and the guy orders a "Blubber" and the lady orders "Thunder Thighs" with a side of "Buh Dunka-Dunk Butt" !!!!!!

I hear that commercial on the radio all the time, but I dont know who it is for! I love that..."Do you have love handles? Yep, two to an order"


Off to a good start today. I am going to hit the gym for a pilates class tonight. And I am going to get my treadmill time in right now. I am telling myself I will only watch my tivoed shows on the treadmill from now on. It made the time go so much faster!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, S'LATE!!!

Lynda - I'm sure you probably mentioned it here before, but I was wondering what camera you use? Your pictures are really great - I don't think you'll have any problem going 'pro'. I just had to buy another 500 GB WD external HD a few weeks ago, too, so I could finish editing all of our WDW vacation video & pics from December. It's amazing how fast they fill up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY S'LATE!!!

Here's the picture of DH and me with Eliza Thornberry and Donnie. We ate lunch in the car before we went to the park so we wouldn't be tempted. Passed up funnel cake, kettle corn, and many other goodies. We are so proud of our daughter. It was so cute to see her with all the little ones.

Danielle, you are so cute!!! You passed up funnel cakes!!! You are my hero!!

I love this commercial! Oh, and I think Cheryl is right - it was Jeriber.

Monica - can't wait to find out what you are having - I can't believe it has been that long already! What is Mal? No, I do not think you are crazy!

Cheryl - your daughter is so beautiful!

Lynda they are such great photos, hilarious, you obviously have a knack with the animals

Thanks everyone for the Mothers Day wishes

Went shopping today and it was so hard over on the UK community board we are doing a secret bunny swap (I won't say too much in case of UK lurkers ) we have to buy some pressies for a fellow Disser to the value of $15, easier said than done. I managed to buy something from the Disney store but it just doesn't look much for the $ and I've added a few eggs too so hopefully they'll like it. Can't wait to see what I get!

Off to Parent consultations now for the teachers to tell me what angels my DD's are and how hard they work, they always describe the wrong kids not mine

 

[the Fidge]

Lynda - DS wants to know how you make your dog and cat do that he siad wow neat trick! How did she get them to pose like that! Too funny!

Cheryl -OMG your daughter is gorgeous and that puppy is way too cute!!! Lovely grand puppy!


Mony - sounds like a good plan to me!!!I think the baby will enjoy it too!!!!!

Sounds like a great plan to me. I love Star Wars weekend. WE have done this before--drove down hit a water park, the next day we did all 4 parks, and then the last day we went back to a water park. My kids still talk about it. Have fun--I get to see the baby on Wed. and I can't wait. You will have to let us know when you find out.

OK so I hear that a tanned body has a thinner appearance, am going to go now and get a tan today!!!

I actually use 2 different digital SLR cameras. I have two Canons - a Rebel XT and a 30D. I have been working on building up my equipment supply for about a year and a half now. I have 3 lenses, including the one that came with the Rebel XT, and I have a new one on the way! I just bought a new lens that I have been saving up for months to buy! I am really excited about it because it's a "pro" lens. It should allow me to do some really cool stuff! I also have a flash attachment, various filters, a diffuser, blah, blah, blah... Though what I mostly use on the Disney trips (and what I used yesterday on "The Fur", as we often call Oliver and Jasper) is one of the dSLR's (yesterday was the 30D) and one of the lenses (yesterday was the Canon 28-135mm IS lens). My external drive is a WD 500GB also. We might have the same one. Not sure if you saw it or not, but I posted that I learned over the weekend that I have about 15GB of Disney vacation photos form the past 2 years! We need to work on our videos now.

Thank you SO much for the compliment on my photos! I really appreciate it! I think they have come a long way in the past couple of years. (Next month, it will be 2 years since I got my first dSLR.) But I still have a long way to go. I added the link to my photo storage site to my signature over the weekend too if you are interested.

 

[sorul82?]

Thanks, everyone, for the Birthday wishes! I have the best virtual friends!

I think I'll go shopping today.....or in Southern speak, I'm fixin' to go to town.

I need a few more lime green items for the trip!

Lynda - DS wants to know how you make your dog and cat do that he siad wow neat trick! How did she get them to pose like that! Too funny!

That's funny! Actually, I had no idea the cat had his tongue out at all until I looked at the preview on the back of the camera. And the puppy - I had the camera in continuous shooting mode (She moves soooooo fast!), and DH had treats to try to get her attention. It wasn't the picture I was aiming for, but I love it. It really looks like she is sticking her tongue out at me! DH said to send that one to our friend who lives about 30 minutes form WDW next time she tells us she is heading over to the parks!

Sandy.....ooo Sandy........ok now you have to post soon as I am begining to worry! You know that will not help me burn off one calorie!!!!

I have been concerned as well! I do know that U of I went on spring break as of Friday (DH and I took the opportunity to go out to eat on campus this weekend - no students!), so maybe she came to get the boys or they are home or something, but I have been wondering too. Sandy, we miss you!
