Girls Only Disneyland Trip!! Old thread. New link in first post

[bumbershoot]

I saw your request Molly for my 'protected' tree.

Love it!

Honestly, we protected our tree from DS and our cat for two years...first year we just put boxes around it, and second year we actually had it in a back room with a door that closed with babyproof doorknob covers.

I didn't know that Costco sold alcohol, well besides wine & beer. I like Grey Goose.

Relationships suck. According to He's just not that into you...hanging out is not dating. So we are just hanging out.

I wonder if it's a CA thing, since I don't remember there being liquor at my store either. Since CA sells booze in grocery stores, I wonder if that's why they get it at their Costcos, too?

Did you or did you not report that this dude asked you, a week ahead of time, for a date ON valentine's day????

I won't bore you with my weekend details, but I did go see "He's Just Not That Into You" last night, and I thought it was a really cute movie.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing that.





Hubby is now home and is sleeping. Eamon was sleeping, but woke up to use the bathroom, and I guess he's pretty dizzy, and I heard him crying...he had used the toilet and wobbled back to bed, threw himself onto the bed, and wailed b/c his legs aren't "working right". Robert and I are dizzy too, bouncing off of things and walking off-kilter, so we definitely know what he feels like!

Now he and I are on the couch, watching Backyardigans. Ha, E just looked at me...I have tissue stuck in my nose, LOL, b/c otherwise it drips and spurs a sneezing fit which spurs a coughing fit and that's been known to cause hurlage the last few days, and I do NOT want that to happen...anyway, E thinks it's the funniest thing ever when I do that.

Glad I'm finally feeling just that much better so I can take care of fever-E (that's DS's new name for now) while Robert sleeps.



Oh gosh, Robert got such a scare last night. After picking up face masks for today (which he forgot at home, augh) and a very rare soda for me (water was having a WEIRD effect on my lips and throat, it's like it wasn't "working" to hydrate me or something) he got pulled over! Turned out to be a routine sobriety checkpoint or something, but man was it scary for him. Me too, b/c as he was pulling over, he made a hands-free call to me to make sure the insurance card was in the glove box...I was like "what? you're what? yes the card is there. OMG GET OFF THE PHONE!!!!!!!" I was so worried Robert had taken a sip of the soda and had started nodding off (as he does when he has soda, it turns out), or blah blah blah....but then about 10 minutes later I just got this sense of "it's all OK", I relaxed, then he called me from the parking lot to tell me he was home and it was just a routine stop.

I always forget about that. Because Spokane, Tricities & Wenatchee only have beer & wine.

Did you or did you not report that this dude asked you, a week ahead of time, for a date ON valentine's day????

umm...yes, yes he did. Nothing to romantic. Dinner at Sporty's so we can see if the Zags get there butts handed to them again... and then drinks & dancing at Papa's. See we just "hang out" we are not dating....the movie said so!!!!!

I have a huge a headache!!

OH EMM GEE.....
Monkey butt ointment...

Hey all! I've spent all afternoon stressing and crying and worrying. Nathan's therapy session went well, but it's still hard for me to process.

I'm also glad that the IEP meeting went well Capri. I hope to find some wonderful teachers and therapists in my journey.

We started a casein free diet and supplements, but the developmental ped wants to see him without them. So, no more for a while now. I hate the thought that the little progress we've made might be undone. The 25th can't get here soon enough.

I did start packing though! I have started filling my baggalini with things that I want to have for the parks. I've dug out my stash of blister protectors, and my travel toothbrush. I cant' believe how fast time is flying!!

I forgot to tell you all that I got my new job. I start there on the 12th. I hope I like it. I'm only committed to 20 weeks if I don't. I really think I will though. My DH is wonderful, and is going grocery shopping tonight after work.

Stress is getting to me. I can't wait to relax with you all.

Heather

Heather I know too well how overwhelming this whole thing is for you. You need to take comfort in the fact that you are doing everything you can for Nathan. As you know early intervention is so very important.
Can't wait to meet you in a few weeks!

Oh man, you're a stronger person than I am. I would have handed the ped's butt to him. Preferably with a bit of monkey on it. I know that once we realized the corn syrup problem with DS, if anyone had asked to give him some to see what he was like with it, well, it just wouldn't happen. But it sounds like the diet connection isn't as obvious in your case, and the stuff is more intense, so I do know there's a difference...

Dinner, drinks, and dancing. Just what do you think a "date" is, that you're saying this is NOT dating????



I've only skimmed the "just not that into you" stuff, but my impression of it is that it's the same basic info given by arch rivals laura schlessinger and tom leykus. Basically, if you're interested in a Relationship, do x, y, z. If you don't want a relationship and want to just fool around, do a, b, c. If you want something and the person you're interested in wants something different, just give up, find someone who wants what you want.

And all of those people would say that dinner, drinks, and dancing on valentine's day isn't just hanging out.

But hey, I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. It's just...most guys...run far far FAR away from even the vaguest impression of a date on v'day, unless they are absolutely already into a relationship or they really want to be in one. But I could be wrong.

LOL--I actually listen to Tom Leykis sometimes. He's pretty funny. It's also fascinating to me that there are all these men that listen to him faithfully and call him "father" etc. etc. One day I was talking with a male friend of mine and I casually mentioned something I had heard from Leykis' show. He got this really funny look on his face and I said: "what is wrong?" and he said: "I'm just processing that you actually listen to Tom Leykis!" LOL--I told him some of the advice applied as much to women as to men.

Molly--check your PMs!!!!!!

The weather here today has been crazy--it has hailed twice, had huge winds, then the sun comes out, and then it starts all over again. I had to go home at lunch and drain the pool because it was starting to go over!

 

[sahbushka]

So I got the first pang of "oh my gosh, I am actually going to be in DL in less than a month with a bunch of women, many of whom I have never met before!" I know that I have done one of these before, but it is still kind of crazy! Great, but crazy! I can't tell if I am getting nervous or excited about being in DL. I tell you one thing, the weather had better be great or I will cry!

It's crazy here too. I was looking out the window thinking how beautiful, it's nice and sunny. But then look, it's HAILING at the same time!! Very weird.

So I got the first pang of "oh my gosh, I am actually going to be in DL in less than a month with a bunch of women, many of whom I have never met before!"

I know - me too!!! I'm actually leaving in exactly three weeks (eek!!!). I still have not made it down to Blaine (I think I will be there on Tuesday the 17). I'm just waiting for one more delivery (well, for now ). It is SOOOOO much cheaper to get things delivered there than to my home, so I have a bunch of stuff there waiting (thanks to DIS for the tips on Baggalini with a coupon etc. for $24.70 - to buy one here in-store is over $60!!!). Of course, I really did not need a new bag, but WTH

Is it March yet????

I work 8-4 that day, but if you are down after that let me know!

I am getting sooooo excited! It is starting to feel real!

[Stacerita]

I want to join the I hate boys/taste test party!!

You're in. Bring your own bottle though.

I've been playing travel agent all morning for my mom. She's going to L.A. for a wedding in mid March. My aunt is getting married. She's in her 70's and lost her husband about a year ago. Anyway, she met this guy who had lost his wife and they just started talking and spending time together and now they are getting married! Guess you are never too old to find love.

Well I guess there is still hope for me.

I went to go pick up my antibiotics and saw this while I was waiting:

DD got that for my brother for Christmas. He is the only person to awknowledge to everyone within ear shot that he has monkey butt issues.

For those inquiring, monkey butt is also known as swamp ***. My brother learned of it in the military.

Ugh, I so do not like that man. Some of the advice is good, but most of it is just horrible. He's a pig IMO.


Dawn - Love the hoodie.

 

[toocherie]

Ugh, I so do not like that man. Some of the advice is good, but most of it is just horrible. He's a pig IMO.

Yes, he is. And because he's rich and famous and on the radio and all these "girls" (and I mean that literally) fawn all over him and sleep with him. God knows we would be too old and fluffy for him. (He said the other day that anyone over 30 is too old for him.) Not that we would want him. Have you seen pictures of him? Yuck. He's a bit fluffy himself too. Not that that is a bad thing--so was Ex-DBF.

 

[sahbushka]

It is soooooo boring a work tonight! Come on, where is everyone? I need someone to entertain me!

 

[Stacerita]

Yes, he is. And because he's rich and famous and on the radio and all these "girls" (and I mean that literally) fawn all over him and sleep with him. God knows we would be too old and fluffy for him.

Yeah, he seems like a bitter old man who needs to get revenge on women, because some have done him wrong. And I agree, that if he wasn't rich or on the radio, he wouldn't get no girl. I take issue with him saying that guys shouldn't date women over 30, over weight or single moms. I bet that is the exact type of woman who broke his heart.

Dinner, drinks, and dancing. Just what do you think a "date" is, that you're saying this is NOT dating????


Nope, not "dating" hanging out.
Because if it were dating then we would be in an actual real life "relationship", I just or we just say that we hang out. We have only made plans twice maybe three times to "hangout" on purpose. Other than than we have just ended up at the same place around the same time.
But if he wants to buy me dinner & drink & dance with me..I will not stop him...

I've only skimmed the "just not that into you" stuff, but my impression of it is that it's the same basic info given by arch rivals laura schlessinger and tom leykus.

If you want something and the person you're interested in wants something different, just give up, find someone who wants what you want.
I am not sure about all of this alphabet stuff...we drunken ramble while laying on the couch...occasionally steal a kiss or two...but thats where it ends.

And all of those people would say that dinner, drinks, and dancing on valentine's day isn't just hanging out.
We call it hanging out. He just wanted to make plans before someone else scooped him up for that night. Y'know because we enjoy each others company. He makes me laugh.

But hey, I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. It's just...most guys...run far far FAR away from even the vaguest impression of a date on v'day, unless they are absolutely already into a relationship or they really want to be in one. But I could be wrong.

That's cuz they don't "hang out" like we do.

I really don't like Dr. Laura..she bugs me..but the other I have never heard of. I will need to google him later.

Hi Sarah...
I am around...

What's wrong with over 30 slightly plump & single with kids???

Not a darn thing!

 

[sahbushka]

So since I am totally bored at work tonight, I just planned a mini vacation to Reno. I have a good friend who lives there and there is an airline that goes from my town to hers with rates at 29 each way plus tax. So for $90 I can go round trip and if I stay with her it won't cost anything. Plus, since it is Friday to Monday I will only need to find child care for saturday for my kids and Nana has been saying she misses them, so I think I am set! Now just have to tell my friend I am coming and possibly bringing another friend with me and book the tickets.

LOL--actually, I did some internet research one night and the girl who cheated on him is the television news reporter--Christina Gonzales. I think she's on channel 9 (or 11?) I think despite his protestations he really has a self-esteem problem--thus, he has to find the hottest woman he can to make himself feel important. the only way he can get that is to be rich and famous (because otherwise they wouldn't have him). the funny thing is, most "hot" women I know are vain, needy and not very smart (no offense to any of you "hot" Divas who are NOT like that!)

That's cuz they don't "hang out" like we do.

I really don't like Dr. Laura..she bugs me..but the other I have never heard of. I will need to google him later.

I don't like Dr. Laura either. and I'm sorry Debbie--call it "hang out" if you want to, but it does sound like a date to me too. (now the one who once said to me "maybe we should hook up and ruin a wonderful friendship" --I don't think he wanted a 'date')

[disney-super-mom]

I give you all warning.....do not have a pre-senior moment while cooking.....very dangerous.....painful.

I've never left a meat thermometer in the meat while cooking it in the oven; until tonight that is. (Not sure why I changed things up tonight and left the meat thermometer in while cooking. I just did.) When I took the pork roast out of the oven, I wanted to move the thermometer around a little to see how the temperature registered in different areas of the roast.....except my brain forgot that the meat thermometer had been in the oven for the last two hours. Yep, I reached right over with my bare hand and grabbed the thermometer to move it. Ouchy!

So now my fingers hurt like hell, and I think a permanantly scolded off parts of my prints.

On the plus side, the pork roast was delicious!

On another plus side, I had a chocolate cheesecake flavored Hershey's Kiss just now, and I have to say, it was REALLY good. Go figure.
