"Diva" Trip - "Cliff Notes" p.236 OLD THREAD!

[mommaU4]

So they got the guy that hit and killed my cousin:



I'll be interested to see how it turns out for this guy.

Wendy, I am so glad he has been caught. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Beach porn... Jimmy Buffett...Margaritas - feeling better already!!! We are actually doing a company picnic for a large corporation (about 1000 people) as a Jimmy Buffett/Pirates in Paradise theme complete with cheeseburgers and margaritas!!!

What do you mean, you are "doing a company picnic"? Are you in the catering or party planning business?

Going that long without internet is so frustrating. It turns out that the modem was never the problem, it was a wire outside that was not up to handling the speed of our internet.

Ugh, what a PITA!

Beth you are so right. I just haven't been in so long I don't know if it is covered anymore under my health ins or I am on my own I guess I need to investigate that! How'd your apt go? Good I hope and nothing serious!

Thanks. It went ok. She said my prescription hasn't changed since my last exam! That's almost 6 years ago, so that's good news. And she said everything looked fine, so while that's good to hear, she said that if the pain/pressure continues that I need to go to my medical doctor and see about getting an MRI to make sure nothing serious is going on inside. Um, yeah, that freaked me out a bit. Oh well, I guess we shall see.

I don't think my muffin top will be melting away anytime soon with the dis back in my life.

This just made me want a muffin.

Yes, that's her business. It sounds like a lot of fun, planning corporate parties.

I'm glad it turned out ok. Maybe the pressure is something minor?

I should be packing we have 5 more sleeps until DL! But I don't have a thing close to be packed, I have yet to check out the weather, and I still have all week to work. Plus Kaeleb's actual birthday is Wednesday. He had a great time at his party. When it was over the kids wanted to swim longer.

 

[sierranevada]

Beth - Deb is correct. My husband and I own our own corporate event planning company for almost 20 years and have done all sorts of themed parties for lots of Silicon Valley firms. It is a lot of fun!

The beach porn, umbrella drinks and Buffett music made me laugh because we had just finalized the theme for the event! We figure you have to have a great time at a party dedicated to the three B's - Beach, Buffett and Boat Drinks!

 

[Happy 2 B Me]

sierranevada what a dream job. Sounds like so much fun. 1k people that is a small city. I would not know where to start I used to have issues planning my daughters birthday parties. Following you and around from start to finish on a project this size would (to me) be so much fun.

It is a lot of fun - at least 99% of the time! We are very lucky to be doing something that we love!

Good morning, ladies!!

Is today the big travel day for some of our Divas? I can't remember, but I think it is today!! Callie and her daughter, Tina, Vicki, Stacie, Courtney, Cheryl and anyone else I'm missing, are all making the trek to Walt Disney World!!!!
I just wanted to tell you all I hope you have a wonderful time! I know you will. Wishing you safe travels, low crowds, no rain!, and lots and lots of magic.

Oh, and if anyone wants to swing by and kidnap me, I promise not to put up much of a fight.

I'm glad his party went well. Only a few more sleeps and you are on your way!!! How fun it will be. Brooke's first visit.

Amen! Love the 3 B's.
That's so cool. I want your job. Although, I am sure it's a lot of hard work and stress to make it all appear so smooth.





Well, have a great day everyone!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Good morning!

They can stop by and kidnap me too! I'm even off work for the next 5 days so no problem!!

 

[stacielee]

I wish we could take ALL of you!! We should definitely try and plan a Girls WDW trip. We all leave tonight, flying the red-eye so we'll be there bright and early tomorrow morning. I'm hoping I can sleep on the plane...

Hmmmm..... I'm not sure. Lemme check my ticker.



Yep! I'm going to WDW!

 

[CoMickey]

We're off to see the Wizard...oh wait that was on Sunday when Linda, Bree, Cheryl and I went to see Wicked...we are off to see the East Coast Mickey!! I am so excited and was up at the crack of dawn...before dawn really because I could not sleep! I can't wait to spend time with some amazing Divas at WDW and also I get to spend a couple of days with Mr. CA in the land where we met. I get the best of both worlds and am jumping for joy with excitement!

Wendy - I am so glad that they caught the guy now I hope that the justice system does it's job. Sending good thoughts your way. I am excited that you are coming to DL in Oct. Can't wait to see you!

Bridget - Your job sounds like a lot of fun. I have a friend in Denver who is an event planner for a non-profit but before she moved to Denver she worked in corporate even planning mostly planning incentive/award trips. I really like the hospitality industry and I work on the hotel side.

I hope everyone has a great week and I wish you all were going with us on our WDW adventure.

 

[toocherie]

Hi ladies! I'm excited too to leave tonight. It may sound funny, but I'm more excited about being there to see Callie, Kendall and Courtney enjoy WDW for the first time!

We had a wonderful time at Wicked Sunday night and it just whetted my appetite for more time with Divas.

I wish you were all going too (especially Linda and Bree--who already had a trip planned later in the Spring--boo)

Ok--I'm sure we'll be checking in--at least half of us are taking laptops and we all have our phones!

I hope so too, Stacie! If not, you might need to find a park bench.

Hmmmm..... I'm not sure. Lemme check my ticker.



Yep! I'm going to WDW!

Heck yeah you are!!!! I am so excited for you, Callie!! I want to be there just so I can see your expressions and hear your first impressions of it all. I know you've wanted this for a long time. Treasure the fun time with Kendall and your friends.

I can't wait to spend time with some amazing Divas at WDW and also I get to spend a couple of days with Mr. CA in the land where we met. I get the best of both worlds and am jumping for joy with excitement!

I'm jumping with you!!
Ooo, ouch, that hurt. Ok, no more jumping for me. Have fun!!

Hi ladies! I'm excited too to leave tonight. It may sound funny, but I'm more excited about being there to see Callie, Kendall and Courtney enjoy WDW for the first time!

Not funny at all! See my earlier post. LOL Seeing it with someone for the first time is like seeing it new again. They are lucky to have you as a tour guide!
I will be stalking you all on FB so make sure to keep us posted. And maybe if one of you could just keep a camera pointed at Callie, Kendall and Courtney the entire time that would be great. Thanks.


And I hope everyone packed ponchos and umbrellas. I just checked the weather for Orlando and it looks like thunderstorms, at least for the first 3 days. Darn Florida weather!

Maybe it will keep the crowds low.

Getting to experience WDW through the eyes of newbies = Priceless!!! Can't wait...can you tell I'm excited?

 

[TheColtonsMom]

Great wishes for good weather to all you Divas headed for WDW! I wish I was one of you seeing it for the first time tomorrow!

Well my first WDW trip won't be until 2013 so I guess when the time comes I will have to put out feelers so that I will be as lucky as you are traveling with experienced Diva guides!

Guess What? The sun has made an appearance in Montana today! I am getting ready to take the dogs out for a walk, but wanted to do a driveby "Hi!"

 

[yourMaire83]

Hey all, hope you are all doing well. I started the C25K program yesterday, and I thought I was going to die... that's how out of shape I am, LOL. I found a C25K podcast that has hip hop music, and I love it. I had known about a techno one, but I'm not really into that kind of music anymore.

Also, I got the Save the Date for my 10 year high school reunion yesterday. It's about 5 1/2 months away. I just keep remembering how all the girls at my high school were like size 2... so I'm hoping that'll encourage me to realy whip myself into shape. Plus, it's a good excuse to go hang out at the beach for a week. (I'm from Naples, FL) Maybe Greg and I will go visit my friends in Orlando for a few days and try out Disney's Saratoga Springs to calm my nerves the days before the reunion. It's only a 3 1/2 hour drive (this is me trying to look on the bright side of things) I had a dream last night, that my old frienemy from high school was so beautiful now and telling and showing me how symmetrical her face is... and in the dream mine was a very asymmetrical version of my actual face...

I'm pretty worried about what I will wear, too. Naples is a very ritzy town, so I'm sure it will be somewhat formal. And, as far as I know, I'm the only Mormon and will most likely be really covered-up and modestly dressed. I just don't want to look like a grandma. I need to have my shoulders covered and something down all the way to the knees... here's the cutest thing I could come up with:

but, in navy blue...

I'm freaking out!!

 

[lulubelle]

All of you fabulous Divas (and Diva, Jr ), have a wonderful trip!
We will miss you soooo much!

Can't wait for details and pics.

HI to everyone else.

 

[Happy 2 B Me]

Marie,

I remember going to my 10 year reunion. It was so much fun, and I was not a party girl in HS what so ever. People grow up, get married, have families, jobs, actually have lives mommy and daddy aren't paying for. Somehow this changes how some ppl act and interact .

Don't worry let the others do the worrying, and trust me most are thinking just as you are.

Get a comfortable outfit. I would have make-up professionally done ( always seems to look better) comb hair, brush teeth, put on that underarm stuff LOL and have fun.

One more thing --Like you I was married -without children. So many of the classmates had 3+ kids. Kids really do change everything-- so many having kids changed them in very good ways .

Let us know how fun it was. Keep us updated on reunion planning.

Patty

Don't stress over it. You'll be surprised to see how much people have changed in 10 years. If you wear that dress you will have all eyes on you when you walk in the door ! Anyway everyone will be thinking the exact same way. You're going to have so much fun !

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Hi ladies,

I still need to try to catch up on this thread. lol.


Wendy- I'm so glad that they caught that guy! I hope he gets what he deserves!


Marie- Don't be nervous! You are trying and doing your best so hang in there! That dress is pretty I didn't go to my 10-year h.s. reunion. I think I was too self-conscious at the time and thought of it was a "my horse is bigger than your horse contest." Now I see that wasn't the right mentality to have but I have gone out to dinner with people from h.s. recently and it was really fun. I hope you have a great time
