First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Use Multiquote, It Saves Nine

[katscradle]

Your last guess is closest...4500 bucks. Guess I'll have to look for a BMW to keep Jen happy, maybe a mansion in the Outer Banks.



Frosting....and some graham crackers...then we are in heaven.

4500!!
DH thinks I'm bad.
I don't think he will recall me ever asking for a $4500. purse!
John see how easy you have it.

Our PE teacher wants a rock climbing wall REALLY badly! Ask the teachers- they'll give you an idea of what they need. Are there new books or shelves needed for the library? Computer equipment? Printer ink (our computer lab ran out of color ink so the kids get to do their projects in b&w)? Instruments for the band/orchestra?

In the beginning of the year, the principal sent each teacher a "wish list" of things they wanted the PTA to get them
Needless to say I had a good laugh that afternoon going through all of their requests for digital cameras, copiers, scanners, every other electronic gadget, air conditioners, someone wanted a new fence outside their classroom - but the best was the teacher who wanted us to have a koi pond created outside the kindergarten wing.............. kindergarteners + koi pond =

I am trying to diet and all I can think about now is cake and pie.

Has anyone ever heard of Graham Cracker Pie? I had it at a dinner and it was really good. It's a graham cracker crust with custard filling and then meringue on the top. It was really really good. Luckily that place is over an hour away or I might be on my way there right now.

I know how that is!
I started on Isagenix last friday.
It is a healthy lifestyle and weight loss program.
I feel great, even my skin feels good.
I am not hungry, and no cravings.
I will let you know on Wednesday how it worked.
That WW weigh in day.

I had a parent tell me I set american education back 50 years bcs I had a typo in our math-a-thon fundraising letter. The email she sent (on her law firm's letterhead) went on and on and on. In-freaking-sane!

That would require me to respond with (on my handwritten letterhead), "Apparently you have lots of free time on your hands, we sure could use someone to help write and proof every letter that goes home in the future"

Hugs,

That's a great idea! We had testing a couple weeks ago and our PTA pays for snacks in between tests to keep their blood sugar up and at the end of each of the 4 testing days.

How did they deal w/ transportation? If kids came on buses, were they able to get to school early enough?

No problems. They actually wait 'till school starts and then the whole class goes to the cafe together to eat their breakfast. It gives the kids a nice start to the day and helps to take some of the test anxiety away.

When I came home from the college program, I shipped some stuff because the car was overloaded. UPS mis-delivered the package. They said sorry and that was it. It was just some clothes, nothing important. But I still get a bit peeved.

All this misdirected mail has me worried as we are shipping our FE gifts to the port directly!

Maybe she just wanted to advance the curriculum and include swimming.

New carpet yesterday. New couch today. Feels like a whole new family room!

First, we had taken our old sectional couch apart. The center portion is actually OK and, since it's small, armless, and vinyl, Phillip has decided he's going to use it in his garage. So, we left it in the room so at least one of us would have a place to sit while we waited for the new couch. THIS is the "one of us" who had a place to sit last night (Greta):

New couch - before it was covered in its doggie protective layer (sheets):

Very nice!!

That is the only time (that I am aware of) where something has been misdirected. Now the mailman not delivering, that I can kvetch about....

 

[halliesmommy01]

Wow Becky! That's great! Congrats to Hallie!

Thanks! We had an idea it was coming from things Hallie had said but we got the official word yesterday.

Becky

 

[maiziezoe]

That's correct.
How lovely that you are 75% Dutch......
Do you also speak Dutch?

No, I do not. I sure wish I did. My grandfather did and I wish I would have learned it before he passed.

One day I will go to the Netherlands. I've wanted to since I was a little girl.

 

[maiziezoe]

Give me a minute and I'll post it.
Here is the Lori one.

Nice!!

I have a new favorite smiley. Anyone watch Big Bang Theory last night? This is my all-time favorite show right now.

I love Big Bang! I completely forgot to DVR it last night. I *heart* Leonard. He is my fave. However, my hubby is my FAVORITE geek!!

So, got a question. I'm going to spend some money tonight or least decide what to spend it on. Like I've said before, I'm our school's PTO president. I'm done this year. In the three years I've been president, I've done something I normally don't do - I've saved not spent. So, I have some money to spend. If you had money to spend, what would you buy for your elementary school? Something for the NOW, not in five years.

Smartboards... all my teacher friends RAVE about them!

Hi Dara!!

Great Couch!! That's what we are looking for in black.

Hi Greta!


Look at all the multi-quotes! Woo Hoo!

Oh, Becky - Congrats to Hallie on the gifted program testing!! My 12 year old is in the gifted program and does not like it.

 

[firsttimemom]

Maybe she just wanted to advance the curriculum and include swimming.

AND the older kids could take first aid and practice CPR when a little one falls in. Maybe not such a bad idea....

 

[exwdwcm]

Wow...I had a typo...that should say that i'm HERE for this one...

See what happens when you get me all excited? Typos galore!


I'm not sure what i'm having yet Jen...need to study the menu...

lol- i was just thinking how a DIS newbie would think we are crazy to even know where we are eating, much less know WHAT we are eating months in advance!

What's up kiddos?!?

Anyone doing door magnets? I have no talent and am looking for some helps!

Jen? Do you still have the Jessica graphic you had from before?

i did some just in ppt, then saved as jpgs. I used wallpaper i found online and copied/pasted. very simple, since i am no designer, but enough for me-

Okay, time for me to be petty. I asked my Aunt to sew my FE. I bought everything she needed and delivered it to her along with pictures and details. She just sent me a picture and I am disappointed. I know I should be grateful, and it's similar to what I wanted, but not quite right. So when I get it from her I'm going to rip it apart and fix it the way I wanted it.

so sorry Jen- i am sure you will make it look fabulous!

Looks great Dodie- lol at Greta taking the only spot!

but the best was the teacher who wanted us to have a koi pond created outside the kindergarten wing.............. kindergarteners + koi pond =

koi poind? seriously? people are just crazy sometimes. Kudos to all of you dedicating time for PTA/PTO etc. I know it is probably a ton of work with very little recognition

Great Couch!! That's what we are looking for in black.

Hi Greta!

Check LazBoy. That's where we got it. Don ordered the same couch a few weeks after us.

Greta is thrilled. She's never had a shout out before!

Hi Dara

How have you been?

 

[Yvet]

No, I do not. I sure wish I did. My grandfather did and I wish I would have learned it before he passed.

One day I will go to the Netherlands. I've wanted to since I was a little girl.

You are more then welcome to visit and let me guide you thru some great places.....
I even can learn you some Dutch...
