BigHugs for Miss MeLodY just cuz

I'm all packed.. waiting for the twinikins to get here for the afternoon and evening.. college finals for my daughter and her husband, so we are helping with the kidlings.. tonight is oldest granddaughters christmas program, she's going to be a little elf.

hhmm... what were the questions you asked.. oh where are we staying.. well since we are taking 8 people and booked 3 rooms.. we are staying at the Holiday Inn Express on S. Walnut..they just completed their renovations last week.. we like they have fridges/microwaves and a resturant at the hotel with ART to and from the park. Plus the beds are nice and comfy with soft all white linens, which i like

For their fairy godmother surprises in the room.. i packed 3 stuffed mickeys ..disney bath crayons and disney sticker books for the flight back.

Tomorrow i need to go to the market to get some fresh fruit and veggies for the kids for on the plane. i have cheese squares. So i'll pick up cherry tomatoes, cucumber to slice, mushrooms, banannas and apples. They are the healthy kids.. they will pick salads over potato chips everytime. NOT ME... i want salty chips and dip.. mmmmmmmmmm.. why don't i have that now? bbq chips and green onion dip..with drink that has crushed ice in it and Dr Pepper.

Oops..gotta go.. twinikins are here!


Have a Happy Day Everyone and Don't wory too hard!

I Love that post Tracey made yesterday.. All of it was so good. I cut and pasted it and forwarded it to my sister in law.

*sigh* Is this what I get for leaving you girls for the day? Well, OK, if you insist, I will be the group hottie.

Are you up for the challenge? And that will teach you not to disappear again.

Hi ladies! I'm just checking in to let you all know that I'm still alive. This is my very busy time at work, and I have not been on the boards in days, so I have a lot of catching up to do. I think I'm at least 20 pages behind, so I'm off to read........

I'm still waiting for my basket of goodies. Mail must be slow this time of year.....

Now dreaming about our Hottie McHot Hot boyfriend, Kirk wouldn't be weird at all. . .

Hmmm, no comment.

I feel so stupid, but what the heck is LPF?

Don't worry I had to ask too! LOL Although it might be better if you didn't know!

This year she is getting a bunch of jr cooking things. She is getting a bunch of cookbooks and miniature cooking sets and if I can find it the oven for her birthday on New Year's. She just LOVES cooking. Do you know what her ONLY souvenier from DW was? A cookbook! LOL.

What a great idea! I thought about getting Noelle a bunch of baking stuff, but then I changed my mind. She likes to bake but unfortunately I like to eat. Not a good combo.

Sorry I still don't post much here, but I am beginning to think it might be a good/ok thing that I was planning on missing some of this event, as some things in my life just really changed up. I still hope to see some of you one day of the event but I might be missing most of the event.

I hope all of you have a blast!

Hi Heather. I'm sorry to hear things aren't going to work out. Should I take you off the Walk in Walt's tour then? Well, if you want to join us for a meal or a day or whatever, just let me know.

OMG, I am drooling over here! That looks heavenly!

 

[BillyFan]

Hi Tina! Hope you're not drowning in toffee. You and Marty were in a dream of mine last night, and it was completely unrelated to DLR. Weird!

Are you stalking us in your dreams?

"Marty" is Tina's dh who I have only met once. That's weird.

Now dreaming about our Hottie McHot Hot boyfriend, Kirk wouldn't be weird at all. . .

Perfectly normal.....................In fact, totally weird if you don't.


By the beginning of next week, all of my major toffee orders should be delivered, and I can join the living again! We took a couple hours out on Saturday to cut our Christmas tree, but it is sitting in a bucket of water in the yard, and will be there until Friday, at the earliest.

Gee, I wonder if another tag can be squeezed under your name there.

That is SOOOOOO not fair. I'm sitting here thinking that I am starving but that I should try to hold off a little while longer before heating up my Lean Pocket for lunch so that I won't be starving again by 2 pm, and you go and post that??? Looks amazing!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Good morning!

Honestly, they don't last long. I kept them in the fridge due to living in Arizona, and the water content from the Strawberries and moisture from the fridge really made the chocolate soggy after a while. I'd say they were good for 3 days, and then ok for one more day. They are also HUGE. I see those sets of 24 berries, and think 'how on earth would I eat all of those!' I notice they are delivering right up to the 24th. If you really want them to have them for Christmas, I would rec setting up delivery for the 23rd. HTH's!

Oh, and when my dad was battling cancer, I sent these to him, and his nurses went crazy over them! When he was admitted again 3 weeks later, they asked if I was going to send them again. I did send them a box of 18 berries. They loved them! I think they are a great gift for teachers, hairdressers, and folks like that. I can't imagine anyone not liking them, although some are allergic to strawberries.

thanks for your input! I want to give some to my son's teacher & aides (he's autistic) on the last day of school, which will be the 19th, so i guess i should have them delivered on the 18th, since i wanted to hand them out. my only other decision is how many to get! i can't decide if i should get them the 1/2 dozen or the dozen. i was going to get them each their own box to take home.

 

[jencav5]

It was from Edible Arrangements. And they were so good. They deliver or you can pick them up. I got DBF's mom one of those and it was great.

thanks!

You guys are making me feel WAYYYYY to excited about the trip, and theres still 2 months left yikes lol. I'm soooo feeling the need to pick up some trip clothes while sales are good (big sales day after christmas). Gotta love a sale you can load up on more things lol. If any of you ladies have verizon, and need to catch me before the trip it's free to txt, and such just wanted to offer that.

 

[disney-inspired]

So I've been sick for....well, just way too long. I have been feeling horrible and eating just as bad (oh and forget working out). I can't believe this trip is only 2 months away! That kind of freaks me out because I still have to save up money for this trip and lose a good amount of weight before March.

Today I'm getting back on the ball and going to the gym after school!

As for saving money, well we'll just be playing it by ear. This year we are only exchanging gifts among us (immediate family) + my sister's BF. So we each are writing our "christmas list" and putting them on the refridgerator. I'm asking for DDR for Wii (great way to lose weight!), Disney Dollars, & a NLT large print slimline bible (seems like an oxymoron huh? ). I'm going to cross out the subscription to gamefly. It really helps that Disney Dollars are good mostly everywhere in DLR.

I'm making the monthly payments for my CCs but I do have a lot of debt so it's a bit overwhelming. I'm not getting tons of hours at work right now so when I get paid I pretty much pay the monthly amount on each CC and then put gas in my car. If there is anything left I put it in my savings account. So far not much has been saved
Here's to hoping I get a lot more hours!

You are always so nice! You always say Hi to me (and everyone else ) when I come on this thread. I am too outside all the inside jokes anymore (teach me to stay aways so long).

Yes, I hate to say it take me off the tour list. It looks like if I meet up with you guys it probably will be just one day and I will be a bit more limited then I care to admit. But I would still love to stop in for a bit.

 

[kelmac284]

Well I am back from my running around and I was quite successful if I do say so myself! Our Girl Scout candy came in on top of EVERYTHING else so I ran by our leader's house and picked THAT up and then ran to target and was able to get all the stocking stuffers and just happened to get season 4 of Lost while I was there. HAD to get that! LOVE that show!! One of my many addictions (can't wait for season 5!!!!). Anyway then I ran to Penneys and got the rest of the stuff for dsd and then to toys r us and BONUS they not only had the easy bake oven but they had this cute little decorating wand to decorate cakes and one for cupcakes and I got her a bunch of little mixes for cakes, cupcakes, pizza etc so she can make lots of little foods to keep her busy.

WAY back last summer I found a bunch of cute kids size cooking utensils and mom got her this cute Mickey apron and chef's hat in Disney world. She is going to be so cute! I also picked up some camp rock wrapping paper and a bow at target so not only is her birthday all booked and invites done but now I have her presents all bought, I just have to wrap them!! WHEW! So I have the kids ALL done! Dh and I aren't exchanging gifts but decided to get a new dvd player since ours is about 10 years old and no longer plays music cds and is starting to skip on movies so we are going to get a blue ray. So I don't have to worry about him so now I just have to worry about mom and dad but I have NO clue about them.

AND I got an e-mail that my photopass cd was supposed to be delivered to my work today. So I should be able to go get that tomorrow.

Once I get that downloaded I will share some pics. Most of the "good" pics were taken by the photopass guy.

And Sara I got your card in the mail! Thanks. You guys are so clever sending the Disney themed cards. I totally thought about that but the store I went to didn't have any Oh well.

Anyway I am off to pick up the kids from school here shortly and then it is Lost marathon tonight! Woo hoo!

Well, I think we all hope that you can stop by for as much as you can. Any bit of Disney is better than none and any bit of Disney with the Dis Gals is bound to be the best. I look forward to meeting you. Tracey

I know! It made my Lean Cuisine look even more pathetic!

Good morning!

HI!

I want to give some to my son's teacher & aides (he's autistic) on the last day of school

What a nice gift! They are going to love it.

Yes, but it's going to fly by especially with the holidays to keep us busy for now.

So I've been sick for....well, just way too long.

I hope you feel better fast.

Well, no matter how long you or anyone stays away, you're always welcome back! As for the tour, I'm sorry you won't make it, but I do hope you are able to come over one day so we can meet up to just hang out, go on some rides, and grab a Dole Whip or two.

Anyway I am off to pick up the kids from school here shortly and then it is Lost marathon tonight! Woo hoo!

Enjoy your Lost marathon. Sounds like you had a good day and got a lot done.

Any bit of Disney is better than none and any bit of Disney with the Dis Gals is bound to be the best.

Got that right!
