[kaoden39]

Yes, it's been too long, but I'm thrilled you'll be joining us. Now is the time to sign up and join the fun rather than waiting until the last minute. This way by the time the trip comes, you know everyone and everyone knows you.

The APs are good from when they are activated.

Oh good. Oh I already have a carpool going from northern California. Bella Ella, Merrydeath and I are all gonna drive down together.

 

[FlameGirl]

Now's the time to sign up!! The planning is just getting started so you've got basically a whole year to get to know everyone.

Thank you!

I'm Kathy, 40, mom to Natalie (10) and a 4 month old Great Dane puppy named Claire. Also wife to John.

I'm currently a stay-at-home-mom, worked most recently as a producer for an entertainment company and the Disney store was my biggest client. I loved my job but I'm definitely not complaining about not working.

We live in beautiful Seattle - looks like there are several of you in the vicinity.

That's it in a nutshell. I really look forward to getting to know all of you and having you show me the ropes.

Good to know more about you Kathy!
Natalie is a lovely name, and just so happens the chosen baby name of Heather/LittleBlackRaincloud's diva on the way. She's the one the baby shower pics were for.

There are several in the Seattle area or close by. Perhaps a mini meet is in order.

Just to let y'all know, I am working on redoing the photos on the front page and updating them to more recent ones from this trip. By photos, I mean the individual photos with your names above them.

So, IF you have a special photo of yourself from this trip that you love and you'd like me to use, please PM it to me. This also goes for our brand spanking new Divas, feel free to send me a recent photo along with your real name so we can add you to the group.

If I don't receive a photo from you, I'll just assume you are fine with which ever one that I choose and I'll look for a cute one of you. I promise, no mouth half open or chewing photos will be posted. LOL

It will be your first Diva trip, but probably not your last.

I love how we have fresh victims already.....

You don't think they saw that, do you?

Welcome to both of you! This was my first trip with the Diva's and I had a blast!

You wouldn't happen to have photoshop would you?.....just to maybe shave an inch or so off my fat cheeks from this years photos.

I need to start my TOT weight loss plan ASAP!

But, you see here to show you my oddity, Kody is a girl and Loren is a boy. And from your lips to God's ears. I figure my husband has his bicycles and I get my Disneyland.

 

[kaoden39]

Welcome to both of you! This was my first trip with the Diva's and I had a blast!

Thanks I am real excited at the thought of trip sans kids and hubby.

 

[goofycathy]

Ooooh, make that two new victims. It's our lucky day!

Welcome Michele!

Im gonna do everything I can to make next years trip, so make that 3 new victims!!!! wait...did I just voluteer to be a "victim"? yep, thought so, sign me up!!!

Yay that would be great!!

 

[disney-inspired]

That was nice. AND it gave more options on extra things to do like the cooking demonstrations, tastings, celeb chef meetings, etc.
I think that could definitely work as one option.

So looking at the calendar, to avoid Easter, but make sure it was during the festival, it looks like we'd be talking about April 14-18. Correct?

I would think the 14 -18th would be too close because usually spring breaks are 1-2 weeks before Easter and 1 - 2 weeks after Easter. So If we can't go the first weekend of April (March 31 - April 4/5) than I think we should do it April 7th - 11th/12th.

I liked going during Food and Wine too. Although if we went April 1 that would be my birthday . . . . .


Plus I think even though the weather is unpredictable it is less likely to be rainy in April. Might be 102 degrees though!

Ok girlies--I've contacted Deb, Melody and Wendy already and I've left messages for Heather both on her voicemail at home and at work, but can't keep this to myself anymore. AmySue knows because I was whining to her.
Stacielee knows because I called her to get Heather's home number.

So, here is the Diva question of the day:



SCROLL DOWN


How do you feel about playing "connect the dots"?

Because . . .......................................

I was diagnosed with CHICKEN POX yesterday!!!!!!!!

I am SO sorry if any of you come down with this. I had a couple of spots over the weekend, but thought they were just normal hormonal breakouts--then when I got home Monday to drop off my luggage before going to work I pulled off my top to change and ZOWIE!!!!!! I called the doc, but they couldn't see me till yesterday (and he couldn't stop laughing to boot!). From what I understand I was most contagious before the spots appeared (which would have been Wednesday and Thursday. The weird thing is I had the chicken pox when I was a kid . . . . but they said sometimes if you have a mild case you can get it again (and I did). My Mom had shingles a few weeks ago so that must be where I got it.

The other sad news is that I got a call at 6:45 this morning that my Mother's sister (my 86 year old Aunt Loretta) had died last night. So I had to call my Mom and tell her over the phone because I can't go see her right now. Sucks.

Oh man! I'm so sorry Cheryl. I hope it isn't too horrible. I'm also sorry about your aunt.

Thank you!

Welcome! Yay for puppies! Could you post of picture of your great dane puppy?

Could you send me the shutterfly info and I'll send you the photo I want to use?

thanks!

 

[mommaU4]

I need to start my TOT weight loss plan ASAP!

You and me both!!!

But, you see here to show you my oddity, Kody is a girl and Loren is a boy. And from your lips to God's ears. I figure my husband has his bicycles and I get my Disneyland.

Oh well, pardon me while I remove my foot from my mouth so to speak. That's what I get for assuming! lol
And I definitely think if he has his bicycles, you get Disney.

Im gonna do everything I can to make next years trip, so make that 3 new victims!!!! wait...did I just voluteer to be a "victim"? yep, thought so, sign me up!!!

Yep, you did. I saw it, we all saw it. No backing out now.

I would think the 14 -18th would be too close because usually spring breaks are 1-2 weeks before Easter and 1 - 2 weeks after Easter. So If we can't go the first weekend of April (March 31 - April 4/5) than I think we should do it April 7th - 11th/12th.

The only thing is if they are wanting Food and Wine, will it be going on that early? And Spring breaks also run earlier, not just around Easter. My cousin is on Spring break right now and Easter this year isn't until April so she's a whole month early.

Personally, I'm open to whenever. This is why we need multiple dates and then do a poll.
I'll send you the shutterfly info now.

Welcome! Yay for puppies! Could you post of picture of your great dane puppy?

You may regret asking me this....

This is her at 8 weeks.

Paws at 10 weeks

Around 3 months

4 months

OK OK I'll stop now.

 

[kaoden39]

Another thought is March is also cheer leader month. We have been there during the time when they are there and I must tell you it is an interesting experience.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Hello ladies,

Hope you are all having a good day! : Sorry I didn't get a chance to upload pics sooner. Here are some photos I took at the Jazz Kitchen dinner on Saturday.


Could someone please PM me the shutterfly info? I could upload the pics there too if you'd like.
