Girls Only Trip ~ OLD Thread, see link in first post for new one

Oh Beth. I’m really sad. I hope you can figure something out and maybe possibly come.

Thanks. But I doubt it.
I wanted to say, I'd love to play guinea pig for you with the make up thing. I've been wanting to learn how to do a smokey eye for a long time. I try and end up looking like a raccoon. LOL So if you ever need anyone to practice on, pick me!!

Will you still be managing the thread or is someone taking over for you? Take care.

Oh no, I'll keep it up.

I just wanted to add that I'm really sad also, but getting numb to all the folks dropping out at the last minute. It's just sad to me that we've planned this for almost a year, and looked forward, and then life gets in the way. I have a feeling we'll be losing more before it's all said and done.

Hugs Beth, I had a great time with you last year, and thank you for your friendship.

I'm sorry you are feeling that way. It is sad, but Disney is a "want" and a fun thing. Bills, braces, etc are needs and while it sucks, I've got to do what's right.

I do hope you are wrong about losing more. I don't think we will.

I had a great time with you last year as well. The memories from Club 33 are priceless, and the picture frame you and Stacie sent me is still front and center in my living room and will be for a long time to come.

I understand your reasoning Beth. You don't have to explain again to me. However, wouldn't you wonder if we didn't express our disappointment? I mean you don't want us to be excited you're not coming do you? So, yes, I understand why you are not coming, but I'm allowed to be sad by it at the same time. That's all I'm going to say. I didn't mean to make you at me. I just wanted you to know that you would be missed by me.

We're going to miss you. We all super appreciate everything you have done to organize all this. You're the bestest, Beth.

Oh and I'll let you know so I can practice on you!!

Beth I understand about life getting in the way but still sad to hear you won't make it

 

[jordansmomma]

Good for you, Deb! You have good will power. Tacos sound wonderful for breakfast right now.

Thanks

Hm? Did you have a bad next day?

Yes, sort of! I had a really bad headache.

Well, I have sort of been dreading saying this, but doesn't seem to be much point in delaying it any longer. I won't be coming on the trip next month.

Everything is fine, just you know.......life getting in the way of what I want to do and forcing me to do what I should do. It's my fault really. I should've done a budget sooner. I guess I thought since I had a cheap ride there, and an annual pass that this would be a cheap trip. But I now see that the words cheap and Disney can never be put together in the same sentence.


Anyway, I've been putting Hannah and Noelle's braces off for far too long, so it's time to get started on that. The good news is both girls are fairly eager to get the long process started. Well, for now, until they find out what all is involved. lol

Sorry to hear that Beth.
I totally understand about the braces. I keep putting Jordan's off. Mostly because he is a little scared.

 

[disney-inspired]

Beth! That really sucks! I also want to express my appreciation for keeping us organized, if you weren't here I'm sure nothing would get done.

A tornado warning for CA?

A tornado warning for CA?

Oh no! Stay safe everyone!


I need to take my name of the Jazz Kitchen list. I am eating a late lunch, and want to watch fireworks that night. I think I will head back to the HOJO's for a nap. The fireworks are at 9:25pm. Anyone want to watch them with me? I'm not sure the Jazz Kitchen folks will be done in time, but if anyone wants to join me let me know and we can pick a spot to meet!

Mel, I'm going to PM you about the SH! I think I'll just hang with you if that's ok. Shirley says she wants to use the time to walk around and take photos. Hopefully it will be a nice day for that!

I would love to watch fireworks with you. You are always welcomed to join the booty babes on their team!

Good morning ladies.

Back to work/school for many of us and our families. Hope you all had a good weekend, even if it was a bit soggy for some of you.

Also this June I am really hoping to take a trip back to California for Ruben to see his family, friends and old co-workers. It's been almost a year and a half since we were last in CA. due to the transportation issues. We've planned multiple trips, such as the one for my birthday last October, and in the end I've always canceled them due to the high cost of renting a mini van.


This time however I am determined our family go no matter what so I'll need to save money for that. We won't be doing any theme parks or anything. June will strictly be a time to visit with family and friends, but as you all know there are always expenses involved anytime you go anywhere.

Ruben is really pushing me to go on the DL trip, saying not to worry about it, but he's generous to a fault and I really don't think it's fair for me to spend our money for a Disney trip, and then possibly not have enough for him to get back home to see family and such. So I'm not listening to him.


Anyway, that's basically where I'm at now. I had to make a choice and I made it. It wasn't easy for sure. Wanting to go, but knowing it probably wasn't the smart thing to do. I've been waffling back and forth for a while as some of you know. I had contacted only a few people just in case I didn't make it, and needed coverage for meals and such.
I will miss all of you. Miss seeing my friends and meeting new ones. But I know you will all have a great time. Take lots of pics!!! Say hi to Chip and Dale for me.


I look forward to seeing those of you coming to Vegas in June. Makes it a little easier to deal with knowing I'll have that time to look forward to.
Linda and Cheryl, I am glad I got to see you over Thanksgiving as well.
Theresa, Donna and Vicki, I am really glad for our chance to visit just recently.
And if anyone is in the Vegas area, please give me a holler. Maybe we can meet for a meal or something. That would be nice.



Thanks for listening ladies. Sorry for droning on like that, but I just wanted to let everyone know.

TTYL!!

Beth

I am really sorry to hear this but I truly understand. If you need me to help with anything or take over any of the meals let me know!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I would love to watch fireworks with you. You are always welcomed to join the booty babes on their team!

Great! I hope to see the full fireworks. I saw RDCT last year, but hear parts of it were dropped.

I would love to join your team, but just will not be able to run around by then. Long story, but I have a bad hip from previous pregnancies, and the bigger I get, the worse I'll feel. My hip is already bugging me. I don't want to slow a team down, and I don't want to stress myself out about it. It will be fun to watch all of you run around!

 

[mommaU4]

That's all I'm going to say. I didn't mean to make you at me. I just wanted you to know that you would be missed by me.

Actually that wasn't at you. That was at life. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

It's snowing! I can see it out the window at work.

 

[mommaU4]

We all super appreciate everything you have done to organize all this.

Thanks.

I also want to express my appreciation for keeping us organized

Thanks, it was really my pleasure though. Planning is part of the fun after all!

I am really sorry to hear this but I truly understand. If you need me to help with anything or take over any of the meals let me know!

Thanks. I might take you up on that!! I need to go through my list and see what needs to be covered. I'll let you know.

It's snowing! I can see it out the window at work.

Wow!!

Everyone in CA dealing with rain, snow or tornado watches stay safe.

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Actually that wasn't at you. That was at life. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

Edited because Beth knows what I mean now. (I hope!)

I hate the internet sometimes! I hate drama, and feel horrible about this whole thing. Sometimes my words don't come out right, and I don't understand others' words right. Ugh!

Thanks (again!) for all you do Beth.

Aww! DBF is the bestest! He just brought me a donut from Spudnuts (they are made with potato flour) and hot chocolate to work.

Yum! I've never heard of potato flour. I must live under a rock!

Stupid internet.

Awww, what a sweet thing to do.

I must live under a rock!

You shacking up with Patrick??

Sorry, only those with younger kids will probably understand what that means.

DBF and I were watching some show the other night and they were talking about Spudnuts Donuts and the whole potato flour thing and how there's only a few left in the US and there is actually one right down the street from my work.
http://spudnutshop.com/

A type of flour produced from cooked, dried, and ground potatoes. It is used as an ingredient in potato based recipes to enhance the potato flavor and is often mixed with other types of flour for baking breads and rolls. It is also used as a thickener for soups, gravies, and sauces. Potato flour is often confused with potato starch, but potato flour is produced from the entire dehydrated potato whereas potato starch is produced from the starch only.

Well, that makes sense! I wonder where I thought potato bread and rolls came from! Thanks for the info!
