[toocherie]

Thanks, we had a good time!



We had a fun time!



Thank you!



I like this idea!



Yes that sounds like a great plan indeed, especially if I want to stay on-site.



I was thinking that the other day but then I realized they aren't worth the hassle right now (you know, in this economy?)



MmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMM fajitas. ME HUNGRY



Because they hate us



When are the Villas supposed to be finished anywho?
I was there today eating at Steakhouse 55 for breakfast, CHERYL! YOU ROCK FOR SUGGESTING IT TO ME!

Really glad you enjoyed it--it's a nice find, isn't it? The Villas are supposed to be ready in November. I'm hopin' to stay there next ladies' only trip . . . . .

I was checking the status of my application at CSUF and this is what I saw

WAY TO GO CRISTABEL!!!! (of course, leave it to our girl to find the university closest to Disneyland to get her degree!!!!!!!)

 

[tinkermell]

So I posted only one thing yesterday, and it was all out of order!!

It came up way later than when I sent it off.

That's the way it's supposed to work. I planted that seed in DD's head when she was in junior high!! And now look, she's in Africa!! Can't get much farther away than that.

Morning!

My littlest was up three times last night...he's teething. I'm soooo tired. We did sleep in till 9:30 though. I have them eating breakfast, and I'm trying to wake up.

Beth, you asked Stacie about my answering questions. I don't know what's changed, but there are many questions on ChaCha that I can answer. Questions about weather, stocks, opinion, some definitions, some current events, jokes, and most questions about the company. I have quick answer buttons that automatically answer those by my just checking that button and sending them off. I do have a way to freeform an answer if I would like, but I don't like to do that-too much time! Also, I have what they call 'PAQs', previously answered questions. Anytime a generalist or specialist answers a question, it goes in this database. If someone asks the same question, I am given a list of previous answers. It is up to me to choose the most appropriate and send it on or if none apply (or are misspelled or incorrect english) then I go ahead and send it on to a gen or spec. So, that's the shortened version of why I'm answering questions, and why it's nonstop for me!

I hope everyone has a great day! Prayers for Kelly and family.

Congrats Cristabel!

Oh, and my starbucks drink of choice is a grande mocha mint frap light extra mint extra shot double blended and no whipped cream! Yum! I had one in the airport waiting for Stacie a couple of weeks ago, and I enjoyed it so much! (with my bagel dog!-hey my vacation had started!)

 

[tinkermell]

Cheryl, Saw your post, and remembered I still need to get your money off.

Then I panicked thinking that I erased all my PMs, including your address. Yep..............but my reply was still around, so I still have it.

I was feeling pretty stupid there for a minute.

All packed and ready to ship?

i don't drink starbucks, can't speak the MoChApoCkaLaTTeExtRaFaT Language

Me either!!

I will probably take the girls out and get "us" some breakfast and go pick up twilight at walmart.

I was at Target this morning before 8 a.m. waiting for it to open. There was about 18 people in line ahead of me, and about 13 behind me. We all made a beeline right for the Twilight movie.
How much was it at Walmart?
Target had it for $17.99 for the 3 disc set. (we don't do the Bluray)

Huh. Interesting. Thanks for that info.



Cristabel, glad you had a nice day with your mom, sorry about your tongue! Congrats on the acceptance!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!






Well, have a good one ladies. We are going to be out and about today. It's so nice out!

 

[jordansmomma]

wowowow... that sounds so delicious.. i love blueberries.. i'm sitting here eatting blueberries and the freshest string cheese.

hey no starbucks.. we are sticking to our budget to so we can go on all our trips remember! how are you doing with your budget? beth got me thinking about saving yesterday.

Yummo!! I love blueberry muffins from costco.

Fresh string cheeeeeeeesssee?? Did you make it??

I didn't go to Starbucks, but if I did I have a gift card from the Christmas party so I wouldn't be spending my own money.
So I am staying within my budget.

That's the way it's supposed to work. I planted that seed in DD's head when she was in junior high!! And now look, she's in Africa!! Can't get much farther away than that.

Africa...holy schmoley!!

 

[bumbershoot]

It's noon, I haven't had coffee yet, we're just about to walk to the coffee shop (b/c it's closer than the store so I can buy half and half)...but...

I'm really hoping to stay onsite for the ladies trip, too. As soon as I'm moved out there, I'm applying to work at Disneyland! I'm trying to go for travel reservationist. I LOVE planning Disney trips!

Hi Girls! Not much chatter today......
Marty is off delivering a bunch of food to our last client of the day, and then we are heading off to Big Basin to camp out for the night. I'm thinking we're going to get rained on, but it'll be a funny adventure!
I hope everybody has a great Saturday night! See you tomorrow.

 

[KerTggr]

- Were 15 minutes late to our breakfast reservation at Steakhouse 55 but it was ok because they were not busy at all. Goofy's Kitchen, now that was different story. My mom took one look at the GF check-in line and she's like "You're not taking me there, right?!?!"
- Thoroughly enjoyed Steakhouse 55 (DELICIOUS!)
And I'm doing it again next Friday with my sister and her DBF, both who are upgrading their tickets to APs!

Good night!

Sounds like a fun day! Any pics/reviews on the Steakhouse 55 breakfast you can share? Have never been there (for any meal) and didn't know they did breakfast until you said you were taking your mom there.

That's awesome that your DS & her DBF are upgrading! Have fun.

hey no starbucks.. we are sticking to our budget to so we can go on all our trips remember! how are you doing with your budget? beth got me thinking about saving yesterday.

I opened up yet another bank account to save for the girls only dis trip next year. I now have 4 accounts for different trips and 2 regular. No wonder it takes me hours to balance our checkbook!

I have an out for starbucks though - we budget $25 a month to load onto our starbucks cards. If you make your coffee @ home, and you have extra @ EOM, then the difference goes into our allowance accounts.

Just realized how manic anal that sounds. I really don't budget everything, but just try to project out what things are going to cost so we can make extra payments to our CC. Need to get those off our monthly bills!

Ay Dios mio, you should hear my sister order. She's a barista so it's SO complicated that they other barista has to have her repeat it like 3X.

Thank you everyone!

I went to Starbucks last Thurs with 5 visiting work people all from seattle. 4 got drip coffe, one got an americano.... I got a double tall, 1/2 caf, 1 and 1/2 pump white chocolate mocha with no whip. The barista asked if we were from Seattle because he was too. Small world that bonds over coffee!

That would be a great role for you! I did vacation planning @ WDW for part of my college program stint. It was a lot of fun and there were some really unique and great benefits! Good luck.

My drink of choice is an iced venti americano. Five shots of espresso, some water and ice. I must have been a sorry sight today because the barista offered me a free sixth shot of espresso (I took it).

Not quite--I'm going to take a chance and ship Monday so I can be better organized with what I'm sending.

Went to the new Crocs outlet in Orange--great deals--got a pair of lime green Cayman's for $4.99!!!!! And some MaryJane's for $9.99 and $14.99! Then went to ULTA for some makeup I needed and then the grocery store (it's a Stouffer's night because I'm going to be packing).

We've been budgeting a giftcard for, not Starbucks, but Tully's. Hubby's work is right across the street, and he'd go there and not tell me...it takes about 5 days for the Seattle s'bux and tully's to put the charge through (I don't know why!) and it was seriously messing me up, so doing this was caving in to hubby's inability to just drink the coffee at work. Of course he blew through his card this month so now he's using the thermos I got him 2 years ago and bringing coffee to work...yay!

6 shots omg. I just get grande (usually...today a vente) iced lattes. Simple. Not sure how s'bux messes them up, but they do half the time. Hence the tully's. Heck, Disneyland does iced lattes better than s'bux, LOL, especially that cart you introduced me to on the trip!

I might have to send some extra money to you for a Crocs outlet order...must figure out what size in Crocs I am.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Hi girls, just a quick check-in with all of you. I hope you're all having a nice Saturday.

Christabel - CONGRATS GIRL!!!! That's AWESOME!!!


My little Ryan (9) woke up today sick, sick, sick! Poor guy.....his fever has been around 102.5, his tummy is upset, and he's just plain weak. He didn't even want to walk to the bathroom do go potty because his legs are weak. I did manage to get a half a pb&j in him this morning, and he's been taking sips of water throughout the day. And just now he drank about half of a Danimal yogurt drink.....which isn't much, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

Anyway, I've got to go and check on him again, but I wanted to stop in to say hi.

 

[disney-inspired]

Congrats Cristabel! What an exciting time for you! And I'm glad you had such a nice day with your mom. I really enjoyed sharing the ladies' trip with my mom.

WOOHOO!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

It's very good for breakfast. They give your REAL food The meals are in the price range of $10 - $17 (the most expensive is for steak & eggs), atmosphere is classic 40's with large pictures of celebrities eating (I saw Lucy!) with a small entry before the dining room with two small love seats and a large photo of Walt . The service is good and they gave my mom a cupcake with gummy worms for her birthday. All the servers, host/hostesses etc signed & gave her a birthday card.

That's awesome that your DS & her DBF are upgrading! Have fun.

I know I'm so glad I have more people to go with now!



Congratulations! Isn't that the best feeling? Knowing you don't have to worry about it anymore?!?

It is THE best, phew! It's a load off my mind.

That would be a great role for you! I did vacation planning @ WDW for part of my college program stint. It was a lot of fun and there were some really unique and great benefits! Good luck.

I just love planning trips to Disneyland & Disney World, it's a lot of fun!

If you need a reference, you should refer them to all of us!!!!

Oh I definitely will! I think having an attorney as a referal will do me very well!

Afternoon all. Well I got up and took the girls to get donuts. I usually NEVER eat those nasty things any more but I thought I would treat them since dad and the grandparents got to go to Dennys without them. Then we went to Walmart and we were ACTUALLY going to splurge and get the Blue Ray cuz I thought it would be good to have that one on Blue Ray and it doesn't come out till next week. BLEH! So I just got the special edition one with the multiple discs. It was 17.95.

Anyway SHE NEVER SHOWED!!! Shane and my parents were convinced it was a sham so she could break into one of the houses and get her stuff but I knew better. I said I thought for sure she had been out drinking last night and was too wasted and was still asleep. My mom failed to mention that she had wanted to get together LAST night. GRRRRR. IF they had done that they might have seen her. So then Shane and I went to McD's and got her check and her boss said let me check and make sure it is there and I was like uh it BETTER be there. He is the MAIN manager and when I told him the NEXT day I was like you BETTER make it known that no one is to give her that check. If that check was gone I would have been livid. But luckily it was still there and I told Shane to tell him that she is NO longer an employee!

He basically confirmed that too! So anyway we FINALLY got an e-mail and she isn't even in Sac. Not sure WHERE she is but NOW she is talking about some guy! Says she is swooning over some guy she met back in Oct and that he is the one she has been ditching work with and on and on. We have called several facilities AND our insurance and IF she comes home tomorrow we are going to try and get her committed into one for drug and alcohol rehab. So we shall see!

Anyway I will again keep you posted if I hear.

My stomach has been KILLING me. Not sure if it is my new meds or just all this stress or both.

Talk later!
