*Girls DL Trip* OLD THREAD

[Stacerita]

I'm with Stacie--this may actually be a good thing. Question--why was the buyer's Dad there? do you know who the buyer is?

When the practice my mother works for (granted its a dental office, but still) the doctor who bought the practice brought her DH and her parents to check things out. Just to make sure they caught things that she may not have.

Who knows, maybe the new owner of the practice is youngerish and doesn't have that SO to help them with things. So dad might be along just to catch things that they may not have.

You know, I don't know why the buyers dad was there instead of the buyer. Maybe daddy is helping pay? (Major high purchase price). I don't personally know the buyer, know of him. Way way way younger than me. Has some specialty training, but didn't pursue. Currently has a job and does mobile ultrasound on the side.

And yes, I would love some management....the other long term vet will freak as she has done things the way she has wanted forever, and doesn't follow any manner of policy/rule EVER!!! I am such a rule follower, like them, follow them and am truly disappointed in other people who don't. I blame my rule following persona on growing up with a bipolar/paranoid father!!

But thank you for your support. Again, trying to not freak, but until we meet with the new owner, can't help but panic a bit, fear of the unknown!!

Downgraded to 4.7 now.

Interesting.. I read now that it was in Lennox.

I have lived here for 13 years and still haven't felt an earthquake. It isn't that we haven't had one, I apparently am too much off on my own planet to notice a little earth shaking. We've never had a big one, but everyone at work will be talking about it, and nope.....didn't notice a thing.

What does that mean about me?

I guess I am telling you guys since I really need some hand-holding!!

AMySue

I want to live on the planet you live... (hate quakes)

Interesting.. I read now that it was in Lennox.

Yup. Two aftershocks...
The tv is asking... are you quake ready?

 

[MamaKate]

Good evening ladies. Went on an unplanned trip to Disneyland today and I'm tired.

I didn't feel the earthquake. What time was it at .

Beth~ Wow, you're really getting into making cake balls. They look yummy.

Amy~ Hope everything turns out okay with the new owners .

Bridgette~ Great ebay sales . Extra cash is always good.

Well I'm beat so I'll talk to you all tomorrow.

 

[disney-inspired]

I was trying to catch up but then firefox crashed and I don't remember what page I was on!

Hi everyone! It's super late but it's too hot to go to sleep!
Any new plans been established that haven't hit the front page yet?

So since I'm seriously in debt and I don't have any reoccurring income, I think it might be best if I don't get my AP again until my birthday, November 2nd. That way some of the AP cost will go down with the free ticket. That is unless I get a summer job and I really hope I do, even if it is at stinky Magic Mountain.

I'm going to start ChaCha'ing full force starting this Monday because I recently learned that I overdrafted It's just one thing after another isnt it?

I also learned that I'll be in 25k to 30k of debt when I graduate from CSUF. I better get a really good paying job or that debt will be haunting me for the rest of my life!

Any money I get from ChaCha will be put towards my CC debt & gas for my car, nothing else. No movies. No Disneyland. No eating out. NO FUN.

Prayers are greatly appreciated!

But I'm definitely not even doubting the fact that I WILL be going to our 3rd Girls' only trip. That is DEFINITELY going to happen, one way or another.

Well I'm off to bed, to try to go to sleep before I wake up to take my little sister to school and after that Diana and I are going to Target to scan things for our graduation gift lists.

Good night/ morning.

 

[kelmac284]

Morning all. Sounds like everyone had a good weekend. My mom and dad were actually home all weekend so I was off with them. Plus having to deal with Shane and the back so I was busy with that. Michelle if you see this sorry I didn't see your call until late Saturday night. I will call you today .

We just watched our videos on Saturday and I was beat from the parade so while the girls were watching Australia I passed out. I was SO hot and tired I fell asleep and then I woke up when it was time to go to dinner. Shane decided he wanted to go, which I thought was a bit crazy but in a way I think he is playing it up a bit. Don't get me wrong I think he DID hurt his back but I think he is def playing the role LOL. When I catch him when he doesn't realize I am watching he seems to get around better then when he knows people are watching. Then the ohs and ahhs come out LOL.

But anyway then yesterday since my parents are NEVER home mom and I took the girls shopping and then Shane said he wanted to try and take them to the movies since we didn't get to go Friday night so we went and saw Star Trek. He said it really hurt his back to sit in the seats though so I don't know but we all did enjoy the movie.

Then of course last night we just made it home in time to see Survivor. I was really happy with who won but of course I won't say in case someone hasn't watched it yet.

Now today I have to go in to work and mom and I MAY try to run to AAA today and get some advice on a hotel cuz we are still having a hard time trying to figure out the best place to go.

Anyway then tonight of course is swim again and then wed I finally am going to my new dentist. I am a bit nervous about it cuz it is not exactly in the best location. We had to swtich because our old one stopped taking our insurance. I really LOVED our old one and so did the kids but we couldn't afford to keep going if they didn't take our insurance SOOO we shall see.

Otherwise nothing else going on for the week. And the weekend just depends on Shane. I have to talk to Michelle but it all depends on how he feels at this point.

Anyway that's it for me. Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[jordansmomma]

Morning girls!
Amy Sue~ I agree with Stacie.

 

[Stacerita]

Morning ladies. Got a crazy busy week starting. Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Good Morning!

Heard about the earthquake a few minutes ago and logged on right away to see if everyone here is okay - thank goodness you are all safe.

AmySue ~ How unfair not to let the staff know. So wrong.

From what I've been reading, I agree you are very likely safe. Your experience, client following (which equals dollars, but also reputation for the practice) and being part time make you a very valuable asset.

Will be thinking of you and sending loads of support.

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Good morning, ladies!

Yup. Two aftershocks...
The tv is asking... are you quake ready?

No way, Jose. I want it to be during the day. Something about them at night is even scarier.

I hope everything gets better, Cristabel. I'll say prayers for you.

I put my melted chocolate in a ziplock baggie, close it, snip a corner, and squeeze. You have to be sure that you cut the corner very small. More will come out than you think!

That's what I did the second time around and the drizzle came out much nicer, not all funky. The carrot cake ones I made I dipped in white coating, and sprinkled with nuts, then drizzled cream cheese frosting over that. Just a touch, not too much. And I think they looked good.
I sent two of the five flavors in with Ruben today, so we'll see what everyone says.

I just checked my ebay ..... are you ready.... $607 in profit just in the last week. Are you KIDDING ME?! Can you say J-A-C-K-P-O-T?!

That's awesome!!
Dang, I need to look around for something to sell now.

I guess I am telling you guys since I really need some hand-holding!!

AMySue

Holding your hand!! But not in a creepy way.
Hang in there. It's natural to be concerned but it's out of your hands, and like Stacie said what happens, happens. Just hope for the best, and I'm sure it's going to be fine. Everything happens for a reason.

Beth~ Wow, you're really getting into making cake balls. They look yummy.

You got me hooked!

It's just one thing after another isnt it?

Yes, it is. But you'll be ok. Hang in there.

Then of course last night we just made it home in time to see Survivor. I was really happy with who won but of course I won't say in case someone hasn't watched it yet.

I was happy too!!!! And I was cracking up over the last challenge.........MORE BALLS!!

 

[mommaU4]

Good morning ladies!! Monday again.

I cannot believe my kids only have two and a half weeks of school left. And then begins the long, so long, unbelievably long, hot summer.

Hope you are all having a good morning! Talk to ya later.

 

[Zoemakes5]

Hi all! Zoe and I went to DLR yesterday with friends. It took FOREVER to get into the parking structure, though the crowds didn't seem as bad to me as the parking was. We had a fun time. Different, as my friend has a boy with Aspergers, much more sensitive than Ethan, so we had to think things out alot more and respond to his issues. But, a great day. Though (egads!) Zoe didn't get to go on BTRR, so that was the end of the world! We had lunch at La Brea Bakery, which I thought was really enjoyable. Then we went to Sonic for dinner.

Amy, I'm so sorry about the drama. I have faith that you will land on your feet, but I'm cyber hand holding!

Cristabel, sending you hugs. I know how hard it can be with finances.

WOOHOO!!! Wow, that is fabulous!!

I've no idea how to sell anything on ebay, but it sure sounds like a way to make a little extra (forget extra lol) cash. Is it complicated? I don't do complicated!

 

[tinkermell]

Good Morning ladies!!

Well I have one busy week coming up.

Today, I'm fixing dinner for needy children that our church helps feed 2 times a week. We also help them with their homework. Dave and I are going to feed them hamburgers and the fixins. So Costco.........here I come. Pick up youngest DD and do the transfer thing again for HS. She has Spirit Week, and she made all the tyedye Tshirts for it. I made cheap sweatbands for the boys, and polkadot bows for the girls.

Next, I have to finish up one more apron. Have already finished 2 of them.

Finish planting some flowers, and doing some transplants.

Help in my oldest DD's classroom.

Watch, my Grandsons.

Get ready for a graduation party at our house.

Buy 2 baby gifts and cards.

Pick my Sister up from the train station.

Get ready for our trip.

And a bunch of stuff in between, that I won't bore you with any longer.

I'm getting stressed, that I'm going to run out of time.

Story of my life.

To those who need a hug............here's one for you. To Amy, Stacie, Katie, Cristabel and Kelly (Shane) and all earthquake ladies!!

Beth, the balls look great. I wish I had time to try them. Oh well...........they will just have to wait!

Brigette!!! Score for you!!

Christine, I have no idea about ebay either. Once again......you are not alone!

To all the other ladies out there. Hi!!!

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

No way, Jose. I want it to be during the day. Something about them at night is even scarier.
.

That was the horrible thing about the Northridge one. Could we be any more vulnerable than when we're asleep?

That's what I did the second time around and the drizzle came out much nicer, not all funky. The carrot cake ones I made I dipped in white coating, and sprinkled with nuts, then drizzled cream cheese frosting over that. Just a touch, not too much. And I think they looked good.

:

Ball girls -- you might want to try taking a sheet of wax paper or even a clean sheet of paper, you can make a cone shape and tape it. That gives you more control than a soft plastic bag.

Bridgette: What on earth did you list to sell?

 

[toocherie]

Hmmm. We've been trying to come up with a name for the Vegas girls--maybe the DisBall Girls?

Hmmm. . . . maybe not.

 

[kelmac284]

Beth those "balls" looked heavenly. When I was at time trials a week or two ago (can't remember now LOL) but anyway a gal brought these Oreo truffles (she called them) but I bet they were like your cake balls and they were heavenly! So I can only imagine. Yours look to die for. Of course they sound like WAY too much work for me. I am so not into cooking. For me the extent of my cooking is opening up a package and sticking it into the microwave LOL.

I USED to be into cooking and baking but as you know I have WAY too much on my plate nowadays so I can't deal with anything else. But MAN do those look awesome. Nice job!!

And Amy Sue I agree with the others. I think you are ok but prayers just in case!

Prayers to you too Cristabl!!

Thanks Mel for your prayers! Good luck with all that is on your plate. You are one busy gal!! WHEW!

I am just sitting here at work. Got all my stuff done so just waiting on mom to get done so we can go to lunch.

Anywho it looks like tomorrow night the girls are having some kind of art show at school so we may skip swim to go to it. I hate to miss seeing all their artwork. It seems like we have to miss so much because of swim. IF Shelby has her performance at school and it happens to NOT be on the same day as the team pics and the church deal we may skip swim again for it cuz I hate for her to miss it. We went last year and it was really cute. Although since school is over in 3 weeks I doubt they are doing it since it seems they would be practicing by now.

I hate to say it but I hope they AREN'T since I would hate to miss it.

Anyway that's it for me for now. Carry on.
