When I realized I got it, I yelled, "OH NO!" to which Kevin (who is playing with our child) responded, "What did you do now?!!"

Now he's telling Alyssa that "Mommy is playing with her friends."

I'll be sure to stay far far away on the day we near 10,000!

I dont know.... I think I might try and give Kate a run for it. Or maybe I'll just claim 20,000......

"SOMEDAY my milestonepost will come..... "

I was trying to read quickley so I could sneak in and get #9000 I had to work Friday and Saturday and had to run errands today so I had over 10 pages to try to catch up on while chasing a 2 yr old around the house. LOL

 

[tink2020]

0/1000 is sort of a personal exercise challenge. I think I need some sort of reminder to embarrass myself into making healthier decisions again..... long story really, but that's the short of it

Oops, I mean 25/1000.... that was copied from an earlier post.

 

[KMH1]

oh No!!!!!! Don't Hate Me Kate! I Didn't Really Mean To Get 9000!

I was so distraught I couldn't even type correctly...that was supposed to be in all caps, but I typed "normally" with the all caps lock on. I'm such a loser!

And, Kate, if you're this competitive, maybe game night isn't such a good idea after all! Do you throw game pieces? Steal monopoly money from the bank? Cheat when you're choosing your scrabble tiles?

Hmm.... doesn't work and your 2 year old know that there are things you have to take care of?!

Hello anyway, at 9014 (or wherever we are.... which is sad enough since 9000 was like 3 minutes ago!)

What about being the scorekeeper? Aside from the being the banker, it's the easiest way to cheat I'd imagine!

Ooh, and if you dont' schedule soon, you might be playing DURING post 10,000.... then she'd REALLY get mad at you

 

[KMH1]

Amy you did it. CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!

Thank you!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Actually - I really enjoying talking smack more than I prefer winning

I also gave up any hope of ever winning a game again once I started playing against Julia - I hope that you don't have any illusions that you might be able to!!

Toddlers don't seem to understand the importance of the Disboards. Well, except Julia...I'm surprised she doesn't have her own username yet!

Well, neither do (SOME) husbands. Mine isn't against it.... he just shakes his head whenever he sees that I'm on. When we go on our trip though, I think he'll appreciate them more!

You mean you don't "let" her win?!!

By the way, I saw a whole bunch of cool Disney games in the Toys-R-Us big book this morning...Disney Guess-Who and some Disney bingo DVD game are two that we don't have yet.

I think they were some of the ones that were B1G1 recently from Amazon? Not sure... I know the Disney Guess Who was, along with Disney Monopoly, Disney Sorry, etc

If you're interested I'll try to find the link. I bought a few games.

ETA: Never mind. It's a different promo now. Still though, if you go to Amazon (your games still come from Toys R Us) there are some promotions going on... when I searched for Disney Guess Who you get a free Nemo game... Disney Sorry you get a Jumbo Pooh plush for like $7...

Sorry for the misinformation!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

I did too!!

We got a really cute one in WDW called Disney Group Photos - anyone going down should look for it - we bought it at once upon a toy!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

speaking of Julia

she saw a psot of yours yesterday and made me stop at your avator - "Mommy that's Alyssa!!" then when I scrolled to your sig she said "Mommy - Alyssa is EVERYWHERE!!"

Ok it's obvious you guys have been in a posting fury. There were 4 pages since I posted earlier this evening. We have been busy planning our summer camping trip/vacation. It looks like we may be heading to Ohio. I had no idea that so many of you lived there until after we made our preliminary decison. We do Disney every 18 months to 2 years so I need to go somewhere this Summer. DH has always wanted to go to Cedar Point. We mapped it out and it is about 12 hours from here. Niagra Falls is right on the way so we are thinking of driving 4 hours then stopping at a nice campground for a couple of nights, move on to Niagra Falls for a few nights then on to Cedar Point. My parents have a fifth wheel as does my brother and his family. We will probably all go. My Dad has requested a Casino and it looks like there is one in Niagra Falls. My ds2 wants a water park and there are a few to choose from. My dh and older sons want the roller coasters and we all want to see a different part of the country. Any useful information would be greatly appreciated. Any good time to go during the summer months? It's not Disney, but it is still exciting to plan something and to be in Kate, Kevin, Amy and Jennifer's backyard. It is like we will be visiting royalty. And we will probably never get to meet.

we are about 4 hours from CP - I haven't been in years but it is a lot of fun!!

their coasters are some of the best around!!

Amy might know more being from Cleveland
ETA: usually being from Cleveland would mean you know less - however in this matter she might have more knowledge!!!

Your trip sounds like fun! Cedar Point is a lot of fun. Going in the Spring/Early Summer/Late Summer means fewer crowds (as in any vacation destination), but it also means more winds. If you go during those times, plan for two days..... they aren't kidding when they talk about closing down the rides due to the wind from the lake. We drove up once and rode NOTHING. And, if there's a sign out front "warning" you of possible closings, they won't compensate you at all.

That being said, the coasters are awesome! Niagra falls is great too, have you all been? I have been to Vermont once, and only becuase I got stuck there when our flight was supposed to have a "short" layover. Glad I did though, it was beautiful! I think the airport is gorgeous, too, but I'm a big dork to even notice

When you get your plans narrowed down and more specific, we'd be glad to help! DH is from about an hour Southwest of Cedar Point, so we might be able to give you a LITTLE info anyway!

Sorry...was saying goodnight to Alyssa like a good Mommy.

Kevin really needs to update our signature to reflect our recent trip. I thought he would be motivated when he saw your new signature, Kate, but knowing Kevin, it has to be extra-fancy (extra-fancy = very time consuming to create).

Deb, Cedar Point is awesome! However, it's only open in the summer months (weekends only in May, etc.), so there's really no "off-season." Just avoid the big holiday weekends like Memorial Day and July 4th.

Darn it, we didn't go into Once Upon a Toy this past trip and I missed the buy one, get one free TRU deal. I really, really want the POTC version of....shoot I can't even remember what it was, but it was $50, so we passed.

You think you're so funny!

And Cleveland is better than Cincinnati in so many ways:
1) No gross Skyline and Gold Star
2) Cedar Point has way better roller coasters than Kings Island
3) Lake Erie is much prettier than the Ohio River
4) an NBA team, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, etc.

I could go on and on

Gold Star I'll give you And even Lake Erie...

but a) who cares about NBA? and b) Cleveland's NFL and MLB teams hardly even COUNT!

ETA: Not that Cincinnati's MLB team is much better currently, but in the grand scheme of thnigs..... we STARTED major league baseball for cryin' out loud.... And at least we don't throw batteries at people and ban "flashlight night" for the rest of the country (along with good old NYC)
