"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

[TVEPFOX]

You asked...

TVEPFOX:
I've been meaning to ask........do you work for a local Fox station or Fox News?

I work for FOX in Albany. My husband works for NBC in Albany (I worked there for 9 years) and my huband works for FOX Network in NYC. All we've ever done is television, we both love it!

Tiffany: Speaking of screen names, I just went thru ALL of my F/E gift bags to add room numbers to the labels and I noticed that when I typed your label out, my auto spell check changed LuvthEars to LUTHERANS without me noticing So, I scribbled it out and wrote in the correct name I got a giggle out of that one, if I woudn't have caught it, you would have gotten a giggle instead

Well that DIS name sounds like I love some sports team.

I wanted to say a quick thank you to Kimberly and Rhonda for their kind words about Angel Food! I love the fact that I am blessed to be a SAH Mom and have the time to give to this Ministry! The stories I hear from families that order from us are incredible. I must say though that I could not do this alone and have a great group that is always around to help (including Rhonda, Bill and Emmie). September 27th is Distribution day and, well as you all know we won't be there! I'm not worried about it because I know those already signed up to help will take care of everything! I've even told them they can reach me by cell phone, but the reply is always - We'll be OK! Such a great group!

I went into Grady's room to play "Tooth Fairy" last night and left the $, but couldn't find his teeth! When I turned around to leave I stepped on something and it stuck to my foot. I didn't want to take the time to take it off because he was moving around and I needed to get out of his room, so I just left it. I tell you, I'm just not good at this.

MIAMI (AP) - National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Ike
weakens to Category 3 storm in Atlantic.

More to come....

 

[TVEPFOX]

That means it's time for your morning hurricane update!

Taking a look at the overview map... bring your umbrella this weekend if you live along the east coast of the US. Hanna will be a soaker!

Ike, Ike, Ike...
The old man lost some steam this morning. He's down to a cat 3, but only briefly. Restrengthening is in the forecast and Ike will be a major hurricane in the long range, the next 96 hours.

Jojo is losing her mojo. She will weaken over the next 36 hours, while moving north/northeast. No worries.

Tiffany - I've had tooth fairy problems before too. Trying to sneak in and then standing on something, I've had to do a quick hide until I've been sure DS is still asleep. He hides his teeth under his pillow & then I can't get them easily. One day I'm sure I'm going to get caught .

All this talk about ToothFairies...

You should get a Tooth holding pillow... It made life with my son soooo much easier..

He would put his tooth in the pocket and leave it on top of his pillow

 

[Magic3forme]

tooth fairy problems?? I am the absolute worst! my kids have waited days for her to arrive. I fall asleep the same time as them!! my daughter wrote a not one time since the t.f. forgot her 2 days in a row! whoops, that one cost me 5.00 to make up for it.

Fatcat: Happy Birthday Vicki

I did that once... DS woke up, the tooth was still in the pocket of the pillow.. He says with the sadest little face... "mommy, the tooth fairy forgot me" and then me screaming in my head... Oh *beep* I totally forgot So when he went down for his nap, that day, guess who left double money and a note saying she was sorry but had soooooo many teeth to pick up the night before..

 

[Buckeye Gal]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MRS. FATCAT!!

Grady had 2 teeth pulled today and they were HUGE!!! ..... One time I got the giggles while I was trying to get his tooth and deposit the $. I almost got caught! I sat under his bed about 1/2 hour. The things we do!

Literally LOL!! That's a great visual! I hope he's doing okay this morning!!

... my auto spell check changed LuvthEars to LUTHERANS without me noticing

Still LOLing!

Great to hear that JoJo lost her MoJo! Waiting patiently for Uncle Ike to take a hike......

DCL is the only place I get to eat Escarot.. No one else in my family eats it

Me too! And it's sooooo good!!!

Kimberly: Thanks so much for your hard work! I can't believe I just found us and we're at 5 pages!

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs Epper......!!

Happy anniversary, Mr & Mrs. Epperbiker.

Happy birthday, Mrs. FatCat.

I can already taste the ESCARGOT

DIPPED IN BUTTER!!!!

BUTTER
BUTTER
BUTTER

Someone's already said it (twice)....but wouldn't you rather have MAYO??

Guess what my mom got me today? The new New Kids on the Block CD! I can't wait to listen to it!!!!

Isn't she so sweet??? Lucky girl

Or if you really want to be cheap after day 1 all the people that got suckered into buying the souvenir glass(not mug) and decided they do not want will have them placed on trays in the hallways. You can just pick it up. When you goto the bar for health reasons they actually exchange the glass. (This is true with the mug as well. They exchange it)

I always bring a tiny little squeeze bottle filled with dish soap. At hotels, I don't like to drink out of any glass anything unless it's washed first! So if you brought a tiny little bottle of dish soap, you could wash it yourself if you didn't want to ask for a clean one. But THAT is a great idea FatCat!

Tiffany

I hope he's doing OK today! Poor kiddo....

I forget who brought it up a day or so ago in chapter 3, but guess what we just saw?

A praying mantis! It was outside on the door when we let the dog out. I was able to count the abdominal segments. So, does 8 total segments mean its a girl or boy? There wasn't another one around to give a definite answer that way.........& no, we didn't bring it inside.
It moved off the door while I was trying to count, so I tried to pick it up & put it back. It promptly hissed at me & gave me the mantis stance. I thought it was going to bring out some martial moves for a moment there.

I had brought up the whole segments thing! If it had 8 segments, it was a male. And you know what I didn't know? They fly! How does a person live 32 years and see praying mantises all the time & not know they fly?

I use GammaRee on the DIS Boards and for family-type stuff. :

You know what's funny? I've always read your name as "GRammaRee".

And today, September 5th 2008, is our 5 year Anniversary!!! (This cruise is our gift to each other!)

Happy Anniverssary!


Well, this morning Reese caught what Jessie had last weekend. I thought all my Lysol on the door handles & hand sanitizer on everyone constantly would have helped. But lo and behold, he caught her nose/head crud. Dang! We were supposed to go to our first day of homeschool PE today, but that's not happening.

We are going to make our way to the music store, because his violin teacher has approved his "graduation" from the foamalin (a little violin made out of foam that he learned proper hand placement, bow hold, etc.) to a REAL violin! He is soooo excited...he had worked for 5 months on the foamailn, learning his Twinkle Variations & holding techniques. He is quite proud of himself

So I guess we're lying low today....

Hope you all have a great day...I'm trying my hardest to keep up!!

 

[TVEPFOX]

I just read the best post on the main board....

I'm always wondering how much my luggage weighs, don't want it to go over. One cruiser suggested taking your bag to the fitness center to weigh them!

I just bought a hand held travel scale at Target!

Joyeux Anniversaire, Jeff & Dawn!

Looking at our "Let's Celebrate" thread, we have a lot of celebrations that have or are about to go on!!

...We are going to make our way to the music store, because his violin teacher has approved his "graduation" from the foamalin (a little violin made out of foam that he learned proper hand placement, bow hold, etc.) to a REAL violin! He is soooo excited...

That's exciting!! Congrats to Reese! I hope he feels better in a few days. Get that crud out of the house now!

...I just bought a hand held travel scale at Target!

I agree! That's a great tip that I read on our thread a little ways back. I found one at Bed Bath & Beyond for $10 plus I had the 20% off coupon. Well worth $8!!

 

[Fizzgig]

cyndifan and CrazyZeus1: Ya'll are me out!!! Knock it off with the praying mantis horror stories... GREAT, they FLY???? at myself.

Kimberly: I think my mother enables my geek tendencies.

GammaRee: I challenge you to hit 50 posts before the cruise. I dare you.

For all those undergoing surgery, I hope your recovery is easy and smooth.

For FatCat's big girl: Happy Birthday!

For the Epperbikers: Way to go, guys! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for reminding me! I thought it was pretty funny that we saw one last night after all the conversation about it just a few days ago. & after I posted, I did a little digging on the net......females usually have 6 segments, males 8; females don't always bite off the males' head - seems to be more common in 'domestic' ones vs those in the wild. & yes, this one definitely had wings!

poor baby. hope he's better soon.
