I don't know about the colors, but AC Moore (if you have one of those near you) has long sleeved adult t-shirts and sweatshirts on sale. I believe they are 5.99 if I remember correctly. They are Hanes.

Nope, no AC Moores here. We have Michaels, but the selection and colors were bad.

two new cruise designs

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Okay -

so my in-laws told us recently that they wanted to take us on a Disney cruise sometime

I think my MIL was shocked when I was ready to pin down a date a couple of days later - we chose May 2007

we want to do an Eastern Cruise and it will probably be over Mother's Day weekend - either before or after based on when the Eastern cruise is

would it be my fault if it turned out that a bunch of you decided to cruise then as well?

I of course would be limited in my DIS activities as my DIL's would want us with them constantly BUT we are so different that clearly we would not want to spend 24/7 together - would they?

 

[disneyeveryyear]

Where? What line? What about May of 2007???

That could be the 2nd annual. I think we are looking at February of '06.

Anybody interested?

 

[disneyeveryyear]

Wow three hours with out reading and four to five pages. Not one conversation that has testosterone in it. Expect sometimes I wish I could get rid of my Man Breasts. Lose those extra pounds and I'm sure they would leave.

Did you miss the posts about breast reduction surgery? It could work for you too

 

[tink2020]

he turned 2 in August -

I am sure he could be potty trained - he just seems to think that all he has to do is decide he doesn't want to wear a diaper anymore -

Julia did the same thing about 2 and wasn't able to execute - we just switched her to pull ups

You all better be careful.... all this breast reduction and potty talk.... this is a T-SHIRT THREAD you know!

Since the Astros beat my beloved Cardinals I'm going to go with the WHITE SOX!!!

I'm with you... even the announcers knew they had lots of calls their way in the 6-hour game vs my Braves! At the risk of starting a debate ....

No, I know it was only game 4. The 'stros were on fire, they could have won anyway. Still fun to root against them......

Besides, I've always liked the White Sox. I think because everyone in Chi-town likes the Cubs.... sorta unfair

Aww, and I DO like the Aggies. What? An A&M fan outside of Texas? Long story

 

[tink2020]

Hellooooooo? is anyone out there any early bird? This is the latest I've ever been on in the morning (took off work), and still nobody?! I didn't even have studying to do last night, so I thought I'd be on..... and then my computer went on the skitz. Oh well.

Lots to do today, but I'll check in. Have a good day, DDAs!

PS - Denise, when do your Christmas decorations go up? I'm trying to convince DH that there are people like me, and I venture to guess you might help me plead my case (no, they aren't up yet, nobody freak out although I DID drive by a house yesterday that I thought I saw a Christmas tree...... DH hopes it was a "halloween tree" lol)

 

[lmartin2711]

Are you trying to make me jealous? Sheesh, can't a stalker get any respect?!!

And, that's not enough ammunition to make fun of you. I'm still waiting patiently.

I'm off to Jazzercise...have to counteract some of the Halloween candy I ate today.

Amy

When I read the post between Denise and Kate I thought to my self.......when Amy see's that she is going to be jealous. Ya'll are all to funny. I will miss ya'll this weekend.........I'm going off on a girls only weekend to a friends lakehouse. From the time I get there around 7pm tonight until I leave around noon on Sunday I will be in my Georgia DAWG pajamas...........coffee for breakfast, diet coke for lunch and Chardonay for supper...........and lot's of chocolate!!!! I can't wait.

TINK2020 -- my Christmas will start to go up right after I take down my Halloween. Since I work 60 hours a week, plus a commute and have two boys playing two different sports, it will probably take me a couple of weeks. We decorate BIG TIME for Christmas -- two large trees, a small tree in each boys room, a curved staircase (that's why I wanted it -- for Christmas decorations). Inside and out is full of decorations. Even though it's a lot of work, I can't wait to get started!

Sounds like you have a similar philosophy on decorations....

 

[MazdaUK]

Marcij you are amazing!

I work 60 hours a week, plus a commute

- even full time I only did 40 plus a commute and that was plenty! We had one (fake) tree - which looked like a toilet brush! - and put the cards a round when my DS was born. It doesn't get much more than that even now (although I have made a big garland to go above our large mirror so we have greenery in both reception rooms) as DH is always worried about marking the ceiling or walls. And as for lights outside - we don't go in for that so much (but it is on the increase) but if I can get him to clear the gutter before Christmas I'll be happy!

Hee, hee! Thanks for thinking of me!

Your weekend sounds fabulous! Hope you have a blast!

I'm sure it's more crazy than amazing. My mom was a busy stay-at-home mom and always beautifully decorated our house. I told myself that I'd still do that for my family, even though I need to work. My husband thinks I'm a little nuts, but he sees how much pleasure we all get out of it so he's great about helping bring it all downstairs and helps when I need a second pair of hands. I have to admit that we pay for most of the outside decorations to be put up. Randy has a fear of heights so anything that goes on the eaves of the house is done by someone else.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Amy - you now we love you too!!!!! BTW - a couple of times at WDW Julia asked where Alyssa was or if I thught she had done something - it was vry cute!!!!


You all would hate my house at Christmas - the year Nick was born we didn't even put the tree up

Julia was in that touch everything phase - Nick was four months old - I had had a c-section and by the time I had the energy to put it up - it seemed futlie to me - oh wait now that I think about it - we did put the tree up - just no ornaments - how sad it that? (don't worry we don't open presents at my house!)

The saddest thing is that I LOVE snowmen and out whole house used to be filled with them before the kids - with needing to baby proof the breakables - I had nowhere to put them all - maybe next year -

oh yeah & DH doesn't like outside Christmas lights - when he was growing up - his neighbors had WAY too many Christmas lights up - you know the kind of houses - light up manger scene, santa and his reindeer on the roof, the big plastic Christmas carolers, at least 500,000 lights and people came from miles around to see the lights - and they featured the house on the news - it just drove him crazy! Last year for the first time ever he agreed to small white lights on the front bushes - but Julia loved them so much - he might be okay with more this year!!!!

I am sure if she looks at him with those big beautiful eyes and asks daddy for lights, she will get them.

One year (before kids), DH and I were both very busy working Christmas rush. When I went to put up live tree, it was covered in bugs!!!! UGH!!! .

Finally at 11:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve I put up one of those 3' live pine trees, with the small red velvet bows, you see for sale around Christmas. It had about 4 rows of branches. I put on some lights, a bow on top and that was it.

Now with the kids, our motto is "the bigger the better." Our tree is decorated entirely in Disney ornaments. I just love it!

I'd love to cruise with some DISers but we are just thinking about a Disney cruise for our 40th birthday (July 2008). DH & I were born on the same day so we always take a vacation to celebrate & that's our present to each other. We've never cruised before so it seems like a great idea. The kids will also be older so they can do the kids club & I won't feel so guilty.

Hopefully we will be at Disneyworld again next august or oct/nov...hoping for a good deal next year like the free dining we had.

*ahem* back to the subject of the thread (sorry to interrupt! )

Does anyone have a US and IOA logo? For the Christmas pillowcases I thought on one side I'd have a picture of the family in the middle with US, IOA, BB and CSR logos (the disney parks will "hopefully" be taken care of by the lovely monorail pic on the other side)

If no-one has them I suppose I can find one to scan in, I just thought someone might have saved me a job

The new t-shirts are in the wash - shame its half term so unless the go out I won't be able to do anything with them! I might try out a design on an older T-shirt of mint (OK, I want an excuse to do a tink shirt for me!! ) next Saturday when they're both at parties.

there are several different version s- if these aren't what you want - you can do a google or yahoo image search and just type in Universal studios
