Yeah, not my thing.Somehow I am not amazed at you not watching American Idol. Not quite your cup of tea I don't think. Too many emo boys for you.![]()

Of course you can. We like new people!Hi everyone! Can I join your group, too??![]()
That's gross and scary. It totally freaks me out. We had cockroaches in our apartment in college. It didn't matter how clean we kept it, they would come in through the vents. I've been totally freaked out by bugs of any sort ever since.Oh and I just read an article this AM in our local paper about Lyme Disease...they had pictures of the different types of ticks (deer, dog, etc) and I definitely had a male deer tick on me.
Evidently the county that I live in (Loudoun County) makes up 50% of all the Lyme Disease cases in all of Virginia.
If a tick is on for more than 30 hours, then that's enough time for the infection to occur.
And I also learned that you can still get Lyme Disease even if you don't develop a ring around the bite. A telltale sign is the ring but not all cases get it.
Best way to prevent is not to have exposed skin. So I'm going to garden from now on in a Haz-Mat suit!
Seriously, I will try to be more aware about checking for ticks on me and the girls from now on...
OK, there is my PSA for today...
I'm Nikki. I'm a not so happily married mom of 3 - 2 boys ages 16 and 11 and a girl who is 9. We like amusement parks (mostly Disney, but we like the scary roller coasters so we're going to Universal in June) and going to concerts. The kids are begging me to take them to see Nickelback in July. But so far, I only have the tickets to take my daughter to the Mayhem festival (Slayer, Marilyn Manson, and 28 other bands) on August 1st. I tend to talk about concerts more than Disney and irritate the crap out of most of the chicks on here. So feel free to ignore me.Hi Michele (and everybody!). I'm Ann, and I'm a happily married mom of my husband. No kids yet- but we're probably going to start trying in the next few years. I'm from Ohio (not Toledo as my name suggests), and AM a WDW person. A crazy WDW person. Actually, so crazy, that I'm going to start re-doing our bedroom to look like a Swan hotel room
. My DH thinks I'm crazy, but he's just as crazy as me.

So I am leaving for Orlando in 9 days with my four kids. We will stay with friends the first two nights and visit. Then we check into our stupid time share dealie on the 25th afternoon. I haven't done well in planning our plan of attack. We have 2 Disney base tickets each, and one day at Universal (both parks) each. Reservations at Medieval Times on the 28th for dinner. Time share meeting/seminar/sales push at 1:30 on the 28th. Middle of my day! That totally messes us up, but I have to go or risk getting charged more money. Never again. Anyway, I've been talking with Carla, a.k.a. Disney Planning Diva, and trying to come up with a plan. Any tips and tricks you guys can offer to help us save time and money? I know we are doing MK one day. The other park is up to the kids to decide- Epcot or MGM. Both have things they want to see. But they are going to have to agree or I will decide. Carla mentioned maybe doing one of those parks and making the evening a DTD evening for dinner and putt putt and shopping. Anyway, I'm getting down to the wire and wanted to solicit ideas from the pros!
Thanks!!
Pam
I really wish today was Friday. As of tomorrow it will be one week until I'm in Kissimmee!![]()

You crack me up with your scared face! You're not old, chickie! You should put the scared face next to where you live!!!!Sure! HiI'm Betsy (33
) and I'm married and have a DD3 and a dog who is like a child to me also! I live in Pittsburgh, PA!
Aww, that sucks that she's not having a good time! I hate going to Disney and having a sucky time. Why do some people have to ruin it for everybody? People can be so selfish. It makes me MAD!!!!!yeah, totally jealous here!
a swat room eh?
oh man, I hadn't heard from her in a couple days so I just texted her:
me: "How's Disney??!"
her: "Disaster!!!!!!"
then her again: "Next time I come to disney it will be by myself"
She went with my aunt(her mom) and her fiance and his son. And her DH and her almost 7 year old. I bet her DH is the one that made it so disastrous...
It really saddens me to hear that she had such a crappy trip AGAIN.
I told her I was sorry to hear it and now I just got another text
"Well my mom is just as bad as {DH}. If he isn't being an @** she is being a b****"
That totally sucks.
Her DH is the reason why I was so scared when they first were planning on coming with us to WDW last year. I LOVE my cousin but her DH is such a party pooper!
What a cutie! She's just so precious.Here are 2 updated pics of Elizabeth -- two months old.

Hey girl!Marshay, she is a doll.
Hi Nikki!
Marshay, she is a doll.
Thanks! I think she's cutie, too. She just really starting doing her "social smile" and it's just so adorable. She is a bit timid like she is still testing it out and then she breaks out into this gummy grin!!

yw!
It's going alright so far. Pretty quiet. I'm already ready to go home though. LOL
There's a "bachelor party" at my house this afternoon/evening which consists of a crawfish boil and beer. The groom doesn't want to go out. (his wife to be, my cousin, wouldn't allow him to go to a str*p club and I don't know what's up with him not wanting to do anything more exciting than eat crawfish) He insisted on having this party at OUR house. He didn't ask, he insisted. And my DH is not even the best man.
So when I get home there will be a least a dozen guys at my house (I think 25 were invited but not all will show up---at least they better not!)
I am going to eat some crawfish and enjoy myself despite the fact that it's a "guys" thing. DH said go for it--it will show the groom exactly why he should have done a REAL bachelor party
I want to eat crawfish, and besides, I have nowhere to go. My BFF is in DisneyWorld!!
Hi everyone! Can I join your group, too??![]()
Oh yes we love pictures on this thread. I think we are nosy bunch by breed.![]()

oh man. You're right. I'll be here though!
I can't wait til next week...my BFF will be back from WDW! I can't wait to her about her trip. I hope she's having a better one than the one she took the year before last with her DH, her son, and in-laws. The in-laws made her and DH miserable. They didn't want to do much of anything. But her DH is kind of a stick in the mud about Disney too. I'm hoping he was better about it this year!
yeah, totally jealous here!

Haha, the Swan is wonderful. My absolute favorite!!!! Though a Swat hotel would be funny....and noisy!I'm from Columbus, born and raised. We're one of the crazies that wears OSU gear every day of the Dis trip to see how many O-H I-O's we can get. Last trip we were in the 20's on a 4 day trip!

Well, so far I have redone my bathroom (attached to the bedroom) in Swan/Dolphin colors. I'm not sure how to put pictures here, but I put them on my site- http://anniessimplelife.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-bathroom-re-do-1-day-and-under-100.html

Hi everyone!!
I don't know where the days are going but I am losing the race against time. I seem to pop in every couple of days and hope you will still welcome me.
We are in the middle of trying to refinance the house for a lower rate. Keep you fingers crossed this will all work out soon..............at least before the rate starts to climb again......ugh all the paperwork they want.
Work has been crazy - getting to be that time of year when the kids get really antsy.....I come home exhausted
Went to Jenny Craig and lost another 2 lbs.Total of 3.5 in 2 weeks. I know it will be slow coming - it took over 30 years to put over 50 lbs on.......keep good thoughts for me
Kelli - how is your mom? Has she made it to you yet?
Tomorrow is a walk-a-thon at school.....at least the sun will be shining...
I feel for all of you in drought states. Wish I could send some of this excess rain to you.....we have TOO MUCH!!!!
Off to watch Grey's
Have a Magical Disney Day

You know, as much as I wanted to tell Bryan to suck my butt the other night, I couldn't do it. He was actually acting like a civilized human being.Did I tell you what your mom got me??? It is SOOOOOOO COOL!!!
WOw....He must have been on his best behavior
No, Tell me!!!!

He was being very nice. I just couldn't hate him.
Sorry, I was in the shower.
She got me a lighter that was shaped like a coffin. It has a scary skull on it. I love it so much. Bryan says it is refillable, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
GREY'S ANATOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY!!!!!!!
