I love the movie... Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.. the ending always makes my heart go aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww...

Hey, I just saw this on Lifetime yesterday. I like the movie .

 

[MamaKate]

Good Morning ladies.

I haven't had time to catch up, but I wish everyone well .

The baby is REALLY moving now so when she is awake, I have to keep my eye on her so not much time to DIS or FB anymore. She always seems to go for the things she knows are bad. Why is that .

I miss you all & look forward to seeing some of you in a few weeks!

Off to check out the exchange thread.

Hi everyone. We came home yesterday from a wonderful 5 days at the river to smoke and ash. The Station Fire is very close to us. I've never seen so many fire trucks and fire fighters before. They have engines from every city. I'm not worried that the fire will reach us but I'm pretty sure the hills right above us will be burned. Last night the fire fighters were just waiting for it to come over the top of the hill. It's pretty scary and it is so smokey.

Hey Vicki! Just a few more days and I get to meet you! I am looking forward to that. Welll.. it has oven baked chicken breast that i lightly breaded with a italian bread crumb and grated parmesean mixture... then i toss the chicken in a little buffalo sauce.. let it cool.
Toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber bits, grated cheese, crumbled bacon, slivers of celery a little grated carrots ..and you mix it all together. then i put a little of the Big Blue blue cheese dressing on it whenit's served. Probably not very healthy but really yummy It's my Dad's favorite

Me too! Can't wait to meet you!!! The salad sounds really yummy and I think I can easily modify it for the non-meat eating teenager in the house and then add the meat for the rest of us meat lovers!

I haven't seen Practical Magic forever! I'm going to add that to my Netflix list!

I hope they can contain the fire and keep it from getting too close to you! Mr. CA works in Palmdale and says the smoke is really bad on his commute up the 14. Hopefully, you can stay in doors a lot until the smoke clears!

That must have been a shock to come home to. They say not to go outside and breathe it if you can help it. 121,000 acres burned but they had good humidity last night. This is all helping. It is cooler here today.

Dawn, that sounds like a really nice day to me. Love your salad - yum. Kelly, glad you go to enjoy the concert. What is your FB name? You can PM me with that if you want.

Just read that Murphy the dragon's press conference was called off! Wow, what is wrong with that dragon?

This may be a stupid question, but where exactly are the fires at? We will be driving from Vegas to Anaheim on Friday morning and I have been so darn busy that I haven't paid much attention beyond knowing the DLR isnt' being affected. However, I didn't really think about the fact that they might be somewhere between here and there!

I don't think you will run in to the fire. The red area is what is on fire. I live a few miles north-east of the flag. The yellow line is what has been evacuated.

Hi Jane,

Good afternoon chickalickas!
I woke up at noon today! I slept so heavily it was like I was drugged or something

Just had lunch with my roomie Beth and her friend Kelsey.
I have homework so I'm going to make sure I get it done before it's too late and I feel like watching a movie.

I'm trying to decide what to do this weekend because it's Labor Day on Monday so I have a 4 day weekend. I know it's not Disneyland because I'm blocked out and it's going to be crazy! I think I'm going to see what my parents are doing and maybe we can meet at the beach or something fun like that. Or maybe I can visit my family in Chino Hills, haven't seen them for a long time.

 

[mommaU4]

I have already met a few old friends from high school and it is lots of fun!

Another one hooked!!

Thanks Beth for all the work you are doing with it!

You're welcome. I enjoy doing it. Have fun visiting with family today.

LOL! We say that at our house too...it was kind of annoying when the kids were saying it all the time but now Mr. CA and I've picked it up and we use it on them now! It's fun to be a parent sometimes.

I think that's where I got it from. My DD Noelle. LOL

Hey, I just saw this on Lifetime yesterday. I like the movie .

I LOVE that movie. We own it. I like the midnight margarita scene. And I totally want to live in that house on that island.

The baby is REALLY moving now so when she is awake, I have to keep my eye on her so not much time to DIS or FB anymore. She always seems to go for the things she knows are bad. Why is that .

Ah, I remember those days. It was especially fun with twins!! Good luck, and baby proof like mad.

It's pretty scary and it is so smokey.

Yikes. Stay safe.

Just read that Murphy the dragon's press conference was called off! Wow, what is wrong with that dragon?

Geez, good question.

T We will be driving from Vegas to Anaheim on Friday morning

Safe travels Jane!!

I'm trying to decide what to do this weekend because it's Labor Day on Monday so I have a 4 day weekend.

Whatever you end up doing, have fun!!

It's not too smokey in Palmdale today and it is so much cooler. Over the weekend it was bad, ashes all over everything and hard to breath.

Diana and I really like this movie, too. We promised each other that when I turn 21 we're going to have midnight margaritas! We definitely have to have a midnight margaritas night during our girls trip!!!

What is up with that dragon??? I was so hoping to see it this weekend! Geez!

Oh and Donna are you on FB? Have you been reading the post here on the Dis about D23? Some are saying we need to be in line early, early on Thurs. morning...like 5am!

This may be a stupid question, but where exactly are the fires at?

Hi Jane! We'll be at DL probably on Sat. Do you have plans to meet up with Jen or Capri at all? If not hopefully we can at least say hello!

Glad to hear! I haven't talked to Mr. CA today so I only got the report as he was driving to Palmdale not how it was after he arrived. We are getting more smoke today then we had yesterday.

 

[katieandmattsmom]

I finally have found sometime to jump on since my surgery. I thought the 5 weeks I would have off would of been slow but of course not! Between cheer and football practices and Katie also coaching 2 squads all I do is drive these last 2 weeks. I can't believe our first high school football game is this weekend.

I hope everyone is doing well and can't wait for February to get here. Maybe that will help it along.

Thanks, I knew I could count on you girls to be in the know! Stay safe Sarah!!!!

Hi Jane! We'll be at DL probably on Sat. Do you have plans to meet up with Jen or Capri at all? If not hopefully we can at least say hello!

I haven't made any plans with Jen and Capri at this point. Right now I'm just focusing on doing everything that I need to do in order to be able to get there and then I will take it from there. As for Saturday we will likely spend the majority of the day at DCA. My guess is that DL is going to be absolutely insane due to the marathon and our usual trick of getting there for rope drop and doing all of FL and gathering FPs isn't going to work due to the late opening time. So, we will almost definitely just head to DCA and spend the day doing all of our favorites there. Since they have so many kid friendly shows--Playhouse Disney, Aladdin, Turtle Talk, etc. we can easily spend most of a day there. But, I would love to at least say hi, so let me know what you are up to.

 

[Stacerita]

HI Everyone!

I know I was there just a week and a half ago, but I am having withdrawls. I hope to talk James and Taylor into going sometime this weekend. Maybe Monday.

How is everyone?
