Miss Beth - Can you please add Brianne to the SH55 breakfast and Storyteller's lunch before the reservation window closes? I don't want to be a rule breaker and ask you too late!:laughing:

Have we decided on a Billy showtime? Is it up to Tina & Callie?

I noticed AmySue is on some dining lists - does that mean she is for sure coming? I hope so!:yay:
 
I had a much busier day than I had planned. After shopping and running errands, I took nana and Tay to get flu shots. Once home I decided to clean out my closet :scared1: I ended up giving away 2 moving boxes full of clothes, plus another tote bag full of clothes. I also filled a moving box full of shoes, had a luggage bag filled with purses and other bags, and a garbage bag full of flip flops. UGH! I couldn't believe how much stuff I had crammed in there. But at least someone will be able to use it all I hope. I am exhausted though.

I am so looking forward to the trip.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

You should have called, I love clothes.....:rotfl2:

I did that to Jordan's closet today.

I've been lurking today, not much to add to the conversation, but I just had to jump in:



Found it - very funny!! Some people - even Jane! - say that the Venetian is smelly. When we stayed at the Venetian, I remember it being the nicest smelling hotel I have ever sniffed! The bathroom ghost skeered the bejeebers outta me, but the place smelled really good (the hotel, not necessarily the bathroom ;))



It was a little funny - and that comment was a little out in left field :rotfl2:

I think the Venetian smells great!! I loved it, minus the bathroom :scared1:

Sure, I'll add her. I know you asked me to add her to Storytellers and I forgot! Thanks for reminding me. :)

Tina will let me know when to add the Billy show. She's in charge of that. Callie too if she wants. They are our Billy experts. :thumbsup2

You know AmySue cannot stay away from us. She loves us. :love:


I am so tired. Just finished The Hangover. Off to bed now. Night!!
 
Was out all day with MIL. Kelly suggested the Getty and since MIL had not been there since it first opened, she loved going there.

Long day, long night, I missed all this good chat. So much to do now that MIL will be leaving tomorrow.

Nite all.
 

I live in Brentwood (Eastern Contra Costa Cnty). Around 90 minutes or so from you. Not too far. We could even meet somewhere in between. Maybe Elk Grove? How far are you from Elk Grove?

I didn't realize you were so close. With no traffic, Elk Grove is about 25 minutes from me.

It's 4:30am...WHY am I at work??? :scared1:
 
Good morning!

Janelle! You go to work early girl! I'm not even up at 4:00!

I need to go read that smelly hotel thread...

Heather, SHE is beautiful! What a cutie!

Only one more day after today of work for the week! Woop!

Normally I start at 7:15 but I have a Dr appt today so I'm leaving early. Next week though we're getting some OT and I'll be working 10 hour days starting at 5am. Since I'm the only one bringing in income I have no choice. I need a spa day. LOL I got a $40 gift certificate at work for one nearby....but go figure...that only covers half of the facial I want LOL I've never had a facial and I've always wanted to try one. After working all this OT I'm going to need a pick me up LOL
 
Good morning friends!

I watched Paranormal Activity last night. It was creepy but definitely not the scariest movie that I have ever seen, so to me it did not live up to the hype.

Today I am tackling cleaning bathrooms, Ty's room and the kitchen floor. Yesterday was a deep clean including cleaning the carpets in the living room and dining room as well as the first round of grocery shopping for NYE/NYD.

I traditionally make fondue on NYE. I usually make a cheddar lager fondue and cook several dippers in a court bouillon with lots of interesting little sauces on the side and champagne of course! In lieu of the dessert fondue, this year Dave is making a cheesecake and we are doing a toppings bar as the 4 adults who will be here all like their cheesecake done differently!

Then we do a breakfast strata and mimosas for brunch and then SuperBowl type spread for NYD as we will watch football all day. MY beloved Buckeyes are taking on Carol's Ducks along with 4 other college football games that day. So we do the spinach dip in the bread bowl, the Velveeta chili cheese dip, loose meat sandwiches (like sloppy joes but no tomato and peppers), veggie tray, etc. Pretty easy to pull off execution wise, but I had a million things to buy!

Anyhow, the girls get in late tonight and then tomorrow we are doing the Strip during the day as my sister's girlfriend has never been to Vegas before. Since they are only 19 we will be focusing on family favorite highlights--the lions at MGM, the fountains and ceiling at Bellagio, etc. Then we'll pick Ty up from daycare mid-afternoon and make a quick stop at the Ethel M Catcus Gardens before settling in for NYE.

Hope that all my Divas have a day as fabulous as they are!
 
Good Morning Divas! Boy you were all chatty yesterday :rolleyes:.

I just had time to skim, but wanted to say:

Happy Birthday Tina!! Enjoy the rest of your time in Yosemite!!



Heather- She is looking wonderful! When did they tell you they will know for sure she is a girl?

Wendy- :sad1: I'm sad to hear you're not coming. I was really looking forward to hanging out with you. I hope everything is okay :hug:.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Laila. She had a good time at Disneyland. It was crowded & they stopped selling tickets to Disneyland, but I think I've seen it worse. We were able to a few kiddy rides with only 5 minute waits, however the Small World wait was horrendous. I think that's where everyone went!!

Ariels was good. I didn't really care for the appetizers, but the main entree was delish & the desserts were okay. Laila didn't really want to see the princesses. All she wanted to do was eat. In half the pictures she reaching for her food instead of paying attention to the princesses :laughing:. She's more of a Pooh girl. She's loves Tigger & Pooh. I wish they had a character meal at Disneyland with the Pooh characters.

Well I'm off. My son has another wrestling tournment today & I volunteered to do a 3 hour shift at the snack bar ( I don't know what I was thinking).

Talk to you all later!

You know she is dying to share a bed with me. :rotfl:

You know AmySue cannot stay away from us. She loves us. :love:

Yep, she can't stay away from us.

How did you like the Hangover?? James keeps rolling his eyes at me since I can not stop quoting the movie. I loved it.

Got quite a few things on my list today. Need to find black work shoes. I found a great pair in brown, but can' find the same in black. Need to call one more store and pray they have my size. And the online store is sold out of them. Picking up my cousins DD to spend the rest of the week with us. She and Tay are only 10 days apart and adore hanging out with each other. Then I need to run to the store and pick up stuff for NYE. But what Jane is serving sounds yummy, I may just pop in over there.

Enjoy your Wednesday!! Oh, and I still don't have to work yet!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA!!!!
 
Happy Birthday Tina! I hope it's a great one!

Thanks for the compliments on my 'girl'. I was really hopeful that it is a girl last night, and then I dreamed about 'her' being a boy. Now, I'm not feeling as sure of myself.

I'll talk with you all later.
 
I am probably about 45 minutes from Elk Grove - not too far.

:scared1: 4:30!! I hate that time of day!:laughing:



Yes - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA!!!!

REALLY??? Ok we just need to make this happen after the New Year! That's just too close. Any others I don't know about?

Katie - they do have a character meal with the Pooh characters. The Minnie's at the Plaza Inn has all of them - Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, etc., as well as Minnie, Fairy Godmother, Hook, White Rabbit and tons more :thumbsup2
 
Good morning and happy hump day!!

First off Happy Happy birthday to Miss Tina! I hope you do something fun today and are still enjoying your camping trip! LOVE Yosemite in the winter. It is SO beautiful! No wonder you and Katy are so much alike her b-day is tomorrow! ;)

Heather love the US pics! She's getting bigger and bigger!!

Yes Janelle I am looking forward to meeting too! I think I need it as much as you do! :)

Katie I am glad you and Laila had a nice time for her birthday! Sounds like fun!

Yesterday was pretty busy for me. I had to go in to work and there were TONS of bills to pay since things have been really slow at work and we didn't have the money to pay anything. I SURE hope 10 is a better year for mom's business cuz being that it is a family business it REALLY stresses me out when there is not enough money to pay the bills. Plus I feel guilty for even taking my paycheck but esp right now I NEED it! I just dropped about 1200 this morning between our rent, phone bill and cable bill. OUCH! That really hurts when you have no money coming in. EEK! I sure hope shane gets his first unemployment check next week!!!

Yesterday mom called and reserved my aunt's room for her since she is in Colorado for the holidays. The guy on the phone told me the reason tratoria is being shut down is they are re-doing it for priority seating for World of Color. They are going to offer packages like the fantasmic buffet!! :) That might be something fun to try next year!! ;)

Donna I am glad you had fun at the Getty. I have never even been there but my parents have and said it is fab!

Anyway after getting home last night we just vegged and watched tv and I went to bed at 9 but Shane and the girls stayed up and then Katy woke me up at 2 feeling sick. She could NOT be consoled and I was SO tired but I finally gave her some alka seltzer and that helped thank goodness!

Today I am hopefully going to run out with mom and she needs to get one more thing for Katy's birthday and then tonight we MAY go see Blind Side. I really wanted to see 2012 but never got around to it before it left the theaters so I hope we get to see this cuz I know it is supposed to be good. Then tomorrow we will go to mom's and she is talking about making lobster bisque YUM and we are going to let Katy have some cinnamon rolls and whatever else she wants for breakfast. Then we are probably going to just let Katy open her gifts and some friends of moms are going to come over and we will hopefully play taboo or trivial pursuit.

I don't know WHAT we are doing on NY day. We were going to try and go up to truckee but just can't afford that right now and I still have to pay for Katy's party on Sat! Sooo we will prob just hang out round here.

Not looking forward to going back to the grind on the 4th BUT I am hoping to start back in exercising and back to eating better and HOPEFULLY can lose some weight before the trip. I have put back on 10 lbs of the 30 I had lost :( And I still want to lose ANOTHER 10 on top of that so now I am back to needing to lose 20. UGH! It's my own fault though so I just have to bust my butt to get back in gear!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!! Talk later
 
Yes Janelle I am looking forward to meeting too! I think I need it as much as you do! :)

We should all try to meet up next month!:thumbsup2

Really? Wow! That is cool!!!:cool1:

Donna I am glad you had fun at the Getty. I have never even been there but my parents have and said it is fab!

OK - what is "the Getty"??:confused3

Today I am hopefully going to run out with mom and she needs to get one more thing for Katy's birthday and then tonight we MAY go see Blind Side.

I saw the Blind Side on Monday night. Great movie!!:thumbsup2

Hoping for a smoother day today on the homefront. So far so good!:) Talk with you all later!

I've had two facials, and I now know that my facial skin is WAY too sensitive for any kind of facial. Both times, during and after the facials, I felt and looked like I had the worse sunburn ever. OUCH is all I can say. Cathy, my friend who got a facial with me, looked and felt fabulous. She loved it.

Not that anyone needed to know that about me. Just thought I would share my facial dilemma. :rotfl:

Good morning friends!

I watched Paranormal Activity last night. It was creepy but definitely not the scariest movie that I have ever seen, so to me it did not live up to the hype.

We watched that movie last night too. Uhhhhhhh, all I can say is.....LAME. I thought it was supposed to be one of the scariest movies ever.....not! :goodvibes

Awwwww, Laila sounds like such a cutey! What a funny story! :cutie::laughing:
