I like that 'Party in the USA' song. I feel so corny when I'm in the car, singing her songs but I can't help it lol. Like I said, catchy!

I always replace the part that goes "and a Jay-z song was on" with "and a New Kids song was on".

Cute! On the main station around here, they don't even play the Jay-Z part. Instead it's 'And Z100's on!'

This weekend, we are driving to Louisiana for the last time until Christmas. WOO HOO! It stinks it's our last LSU game to attend this season, but oh well.

Seriously, if anyone ever has to deal with the Louisiana government on ANYTHING, don't say you were never warned they don't have their stuff together. I have been trying all week to file for unemployment. I don't know what they did, but they had me making $99,999 in ONE QUARTER last year and denied me benefits. I called them wanting to know where that money was because I would enjoy having it. Then, they SUPPOSEDLY cleared it up and I got another letter in the mail just saying I was denied and to try again in Sept. 2010. Hmm, denied after paying into the system 17 years and being laid off, I don't think so ... obviously another clerical error. And this came at the same time as an eligibility review in another envelope. These people are on crack.

Good news is I talked to an investigator at EEOC yesterday and she thinks I have a valid complaint. So, that is moving forward to mediation. Justice!

Hey girls. Cold? Not here, it's 78 degrees outside. SO crazy! I wish it was a little cooler. It's VERY windy though.

I love Miley Cyrus's songs...especially Party in the USA. When we went to my friend's wedding last month and they said they'd take requests Becca requested that song, Hoedown Throwdown and one other. (I forget!) The guy didn't have them but he was able to play them using my iPhone.

Angey - hope you get all the unemployment crap worked out!! How frustrating!!

Jenny - Go for it!!! I'd love to go back TOMORROW! I miss it so much. But it'll be the same time next year for us, this week next year actually. We can't go any sooner, we have two other trips planned, one in Feb and one in April. My hubby's back BETTER feel okay to go!!!

We're headed out to dinner with my father in law in about an hour, he goes back to Florida soon. (for 6 months)

By the way, I have had NO voice whatsoever all week! It's so crazy. I'm actually a little worried that I might have pneumonia. I've noticed today that just trying to talk I get a bit out of breath. I hope it's just some weird chest congestion and nothing more!!

 

[jenny105]

78 degrees? You're not THAT far from me, how is it so much warmer by you? It's not cold here but it's not close to 80!

Angey - I hope you get everything straightened out. That's super annoying! Especially on top of how it all went down in the first place.

I think I am going to go for the Disney trip. Joe and I are going to talk more about it this weekend. I put a hold on reservations for 2 weekends: 2/4-2/8 and 2/18-2/22. We need to check airfare. The room was $100 cheaper for the first weekend in Feb.

Shelby, where are you going in Feb and April?

I can't believe I'm planning to go there again so soon...probably twice in one year cause I want to go for free dining again! The TA rate I got in Feb can't be beat!

I had a digital music station on my tv earlier when I was doing housework, and I heard that song for the first time. I like it!! I rarely listen to the radio, especially during the last year since The Block is all I listen to in my car...lol... so I am out of the loop on Miley songs. But that is a catchy song!

Isn't it?? I try to sing along but my voice canNOT go that high so I sound awful. I broke the cd player in my car I had the Killers cd in and wanted to listen to the Block so bad, I tried to put the cd in while the Killers was still in there and jammed it.

My cd player is broken too! My little 2 year old put 2 pennies in it Luckily there weren't any cds in at the time. But it stinks because I don't have an ipod adapter in my car so I'm stuck with the radio. Since I'm stuck with the radio I get to hear Miley songs all the time!! At least its a fun song.

I know, isn't the weather nuts!??! It was so warm out today that I had to actually put the air on, it got too warm inside, especially on our 3rd floor!!

In February just the two of us are going to St Lucia and in April we're headed back to Beaches Turks and Caicos with the kids. But my hubby (when his back is especially bad) has told me I may as well cancel the trips. BUT our trip in February is FREE. With Sandals/Beaches every 10 trips you earn a free week. I'm not about to cancel a free vacation especially when the air is already booked. That would be STUPID!!! If he can't come I'll ask my mom or a friend to come with me. But I really hope he can come because we have friends traveling with us and others meeting us there from all over the country (Arizona, Ohio, upstate NY, etc)

I have a converter thingie for my ipod taht plugs into my car and then you tune the radio to an empty station and the ipod plays through the radio. I got it at Target in the ipod aisle, think it is called an itrip.

******SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE YET TO GO TO THE MILEY CONCERT******
Well, we are back from the concert. It was a great show! Highlights were Miley and her dancers breaking into the Thriller dance at the end of Fly on the Wall and Miley singing I Love Rock & Roll while riding on a flying motorcycle! The girls were so excited to see how close they were to the stage! The looks on their faces were worth the money alone! The paperless ticketing was very smooth, I was surprised. Merch stand was INSANE!!! Good thing the girls only wanted light sticks, they were selling those at a seperate stand. Oh, Crystal and Karen... get there early enough to do the WalMart sponsored photo booth. It is really cool!

I need to get some sleep. I'll post a few pictures this weekend. Have a reat weekend everyone!!!

I hope he can go! He has 4 months to get his back in order! And I agree, you should NOT cancel. Who cancels a free trip??

Heather - glad you had fun at the Miley show! I've heard she's supposedly guest starring in the next SATC movie. She's playing a young Carrie...?

Really? There has to be someone that looks more like Sarah Jessic Parker than Miley. They showed the trailer of her new movie at the concert last night, it is based on the Nicholas Sparks book The Last Song. Looks like it might be good.

Hope everyone is having a fun Saturday. Not much happening here today. The snow misssed us this morning, but it is COLD! The kids wore their winter coats when we went to get lunch earlier!

 

[hmdavid]

Have to share this with you, it is amazing! It is a jump-rope team and the things they do with a jump rope are crazy! I am lucky if I jump normal without tripping on the rope! http://e.blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?file=http://blip.tv/rss/flash/1826380%3

 

[N&B'smom]

Hey girls. Just popping to to say hello. How come I don't get email alerts every time someone posts? It will send me an email, I'll come on and find like 5 or 6 posts.

Anyway...so I've been sick or something since we got back. I feel okay but this entire last week I've had NO voice whatsoever. It's really strange. It's slowly getting back to normal but at this rate it'll be 2 weeks of weirdness before it's normal again. I've never had anything like this happen in the past! I don't sound anything like myself. (typically I sound like a little girl, right now I sound like Barry White!)

Jenny - oh trust me, I will NOT be canceling that free trip even if I have to go alone! We're meeting friends there and it's FREE. I'm not going to cancel that! That would be nutty. Besides, I'm going to tell me hubby he can either stay here and work in pain or he can go there and relax by a pool....gee, what would YOU pick!??!

Heather - Glad you had fun at the concert!! I'm sure it was INSANE!!! I'll bet the girls LOVED every minute of it.

I'm off to do laundry and get stuff done around here. I have so much to do. I'd rather just curl up and nap though.

 

[jenny105]

Shelby - I came down with a cold while I was at Disney World! I had a bad cough and barely had a voice for the last few days I was there. I still haven't kicked it. I'm sure the drastic change in weather did not help.

Heather - I saw it on IMDB, she's rumored to be 'young Carrie.' I don't think they look much alike and they sure as hell don't sound anything alike!

 

[jenny105]

Jordan Knight guy was in the lunch room with me today. I am completely baffled by how nervous he makes me. If he gets within a 10 foot radius of me, I blush and my heart starts pounding. He's not REALLY Jordan Knight. I need to get a grip!!

Well girls I'm heading to Disneyland in 3 days!! The boys don't know yet and its so hard to keep a secret. Around the Disneyland boards its been crazy busy there so wish us luck. DH and I have his sister (she goes to college in So Cal) meeting us on Saturday to watch the boys so we can have a date at Club 33 in Disneyland!! I'm really excited about that since it means we will get to watch both Fantasmic and fireworks from the balcony. I haven't watched DL's Fantasmic in such a long time.

And for even more exciting news I booked our spring break airfare today!! We're heading back to Kauai. We're going to try and keep it a secret from the kids until we hit the airport and they see us check in at the Hawaiian Air counter. Wish me luck on keeping this secret. We're actually not telling anyone (except you girls) because people always comment about "it must be nice to go on so many vacations". We are blessed but my vacations cost 1/2 of what people think they do.

I hope this didn't sound like a bratty/bragging post but I'm so excited and had to tell "someone".

 

[hmdavid]

Amy... how exciting!!! I have no idea how you are able to keep it a secret! I get so excited that I have to tell! Hawaii again? How awesome. I so want to go to Hawaii, but the trip is such a long one from anywhere but the West Coast. One of my best friends is moving to Honolulu in November, so I will definitely have to make it there sometime in the next three years! Have fun at Disneyland!!!

 

[angey77]

Amy, are you in Club 33? I've always wanted to go there, but never have an "in." That's so cool.

Ha! Ha! No, I wish I had that kind of money. My Dh's work has a corporate account where they are allowed to have guests so many times a year. We found out about it a few years ago but didn't take advantage of it until this year. We went in the spring for lunch with the kids and it was fabulous. We decided it would be even better without them
