Good afternoon, ladies.

I'm just going to make myself some lunch and get started on studying for my history final.
 
Grades are in....3.5 GPA this quarter! I did deserve the UGGs!!
 
We had friends just return from GWL and they said the food at the restaurant was worse than school cafeteria food and grossly overpriced. They warned us not to eat there, and to bring a lot of our own food when we go. I'm not sure I will get to go since the Diva trip overlaps the time when we have been invited to go with our neighbors. Dan and the kids will go, even without me.

Yes the food was pretty bad and over priced! We had a fridge and micro in our rooms both times we stayed. I always brought snacks and drinks and the kids made nachos on night for dinner.
 

That's great, Deb! Good work!

I was woken up this morning by a text from my mom. She sent me this picture


My puppy! :lovestruc
 
Carol how funny that you guys got rained out when you are from Oregon the rain cap of the states LOL. And here I bet you guys thought you would come to "sunny" calif to get AWAY from the rain LOL. LOVE your pics! Glad you finally got to meet some divas and looks like you had SOME fun anyway! :)

Deb CONGRATS!! Great job! And you deserved the ugs no matter what! I think single moms should get awards for all they do esp ones that go to school and work and on and on! Great job!!!

Cristabel cute pic of your pup!! Good luck on the finals! SOOO glad that part of my life is over! I was not much into school! I bet you will be so happy to get to go home in a few days!
 
Sorry I didn't get to meet up for breakfast on Sunday morning, I was SO tired because I didn't sleep well the night before and just needed a couple extra hours of sleep before driving home.

Great job, Deb! I can't even imagine going back to school. When someone tells me they're going back to school, I try to imagine if I would want to do that and the answer is always NO!!
 
Cute baby on the ultrasound...my DD was small at birth compared to your bruisers!! She was only 7lb 6 oz, but was 3 weeks early, so she had some growth to go.


Okay...to add to the poll about shaving. I am a swimmer. I think I have shaved my legs EVERY day since I was about 15!! I cannot stand stubble, drives me batty. During all those years I would bet that you could count the days I have skipped on two hands!!!

AMy SUe

My DD was 7lbs.11oz and she was a week early. Believe me I thought she was big enough. Heather you are amazing!

I am not a swimmer like you but I shave my legs everyday because I don't like stubble either.
Good Morning all!

I found Vicki at MA! Well, at least I found her on a video. :thumbsup2

They posted a video of some of the start, and there she is!

Go to this link, and you can see her smiling face at 43 seconds. :)

Ooh, I saw her!! Nice ears, Vicki!!!

But did you see the ears on Mr. CA?? ;)

Good Morning Divas!:)

And our dinner with Vicki and family was lovely. The kids were sweet and cute and very well behaved. Michael kept scrunching up his hat in different ways and putting it on his head so every time I looked at him it was random on his head. He is so cute I could barely refrain from pinching his checks and hugging him. And Sara is a lovely young lady who takes AP classes and plays the flute. Busy girl she is. :cutie: And of course Vicki brought us a gift. Delicious homemade pumpkin gingerbread and a mini Rosa Regale. After my own heart this friend is - oh yeah!:thumbsup2 Donna - you were sorely missed and we must plan a gathering again.

Linda we all really enjoyed our dinner with you, Bree and your DH. After a long, wet day it was nice to sit and have a nice relaxing dinner. Thank you for the nice words you said about the kids...I shared that with Bob. They were bored stiff with all of our adult conversation but they were troopers. Your DH looks amazing for what he has been going through and good thoughts are being sent to you all that he will continue to have good news! And as always it was nice to see Bree...seeing her makes me miss my DD so much! I wish they had not cancelled the firewords so we could have watched them together, what a great vantage point that is.

I have a phone interview in 20 minutes and should not be DISing. Oh well. Let's hope it goes well.

My parents arrived today. Crazy to see my family here. They are staying next door in a B&B sort of place which is perfect because we can have them over for dinner and then they can go back to their own space. My brother and his two teenage kids come tomorrow. My niece and nephew will be staying here. So far, lots of fun!

OK, got to go prep for the interview. One final chance to get job with my company that's trying to lay me off. Here's hoping this interview works out!

Happy Holidays everyone!

I hope your interview went well!

Enjoy your family and the holidays! I am sure it is just idyllic there this time of the year! My parents will be here next week for Christmas and I will finally get to see their pictures of when the were in Switzerland. Can't wait!

MouseAdventure was awesome, but we wimped out in the rain. Kind of embarrasing, since we are from Oregon, and we didn't even stay to turn anything in. Rob's shoes got soaked riding Splash (about half way through the ride, I said, "I'll bet we didn't even have to ride to find the answer" and I was right) so he was not comfortable. Trying to do everything in the rain and not being able to find a spot to rest and dry out just got tiring and we weren't having fun any more so we went back to our hotel. We agreed that it would have been a lot of fun under different circumstances; we were already pretty tired by Saturday and were not prepared for the intensity. Maybe next time!

I'm so glad we went to the Billy show - I try to see it every time we are there. I can certainly understand the attraction; he's hot! We definitely need to put this on the schedule.

Hi Karyl! I knew that had to be you when I saw you at breakfast and I couldn't wait to come over and say hi! It was a wet and sometimes miserable day but we stuck it out to the end! The kids actually loved the rain and never complained. We too rode Splash Mt. but it was later in the day and we were already drenched so thought why not and then to find out we didn't even need to ride it...well I was just glad we did find the answer after getting even wetter on the ride! :banana:

We saw BillyHill too...I never get tired of that show. During our show when they lower the Charlie Brown type Christmas tree or are supposed to lower the tree, it got stuck in the curtain and would not come down so they improvised and it was so funny watching them dance around the tree that was stuck in the curtain. :lmao:

This week is just crazy but aren't they all? We have two band events Wed. and Thurs., Fri. I want to finish the shopping, Sat. we are going out to dinner for my Christmas party for work...they gave those of us that don't live near an office $100 and told us to take whomever we wanted to dinner. Mr. CA and I are going to the Melting Pot in Thousand Oaks...should be fun, and then Sun. we have an open house at a friends home in the mountains. And then zoom it'll be Christmas before we know it!!:scared1:

Hi to everyone!
 
:)Hi Courtney!:)

Great job on the grades, Deb. Cristabel, good luck to you on your final final -HA! Breezy had three today and two on Thursday and then she's done. YEAH! Then she's coming home for a week. Double YEAH!

So why did DH tell Bree to take her car in for repair today? He told her he let her stew long enough and she suffered enough. Dads are pushovers when it comes to their baby girls - no matter how old they are - I'm telling ya!

Off to make tuna sandwiches with soup for dinner.
 
Sooooo... I typed out a whole long response earlier this morning and it apparently never posted, so I'm gonna cliff notes some of my thoughts. I have been uber busy at work since I will be out of the office for 2 full weeks starting Friday afternoon.

An extra Merry Christmas to Katie and Capri--you both deserve it so much!

Congrats to all who braved DL and MA this past weekend. I give you total props for being tougher than me 'cause I probably would have stayed holed up in my hotel room.

Yay for Steph, Tracey & anyone else who might be at DL this weekend. We arrive midday on Saturday and will be there through midday on Wednesday. I would love to meet up if possible! PM me if you are interested in doing some photopass sharing.

Super big hugs to Heather for sharing such a beautiful pic of your little princess with us. You are so lucky to be adding even more joy to your family!

Linda, I think it is sweet that your DH is helping Bree out--that's what Daddies do best.

Oh, and on the whole shaving thing, I am a member of the same club as Theresa and Linda--not a lot of hair and very light colored, so no need to shave very often.

To everyone else, I hope that today has brought you joy and happiness!
 
Grades are in....3.5 GPA this quarter! I did deserve the UGGs!!

You totally deserve them! Congrats on the great grades!!!

Hi girls!! :)

Hi Courtney! :flower3:

Gosh girls, I am so exhausted! I feel like I've been running and running for days, and it's really not going to stop until the 23rd. My aunt called me today and asked if I wanted to go see Guy Fieri's live show tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fun, but I don't know if I can add one more thing to my schedule.

And speaking of my schedule.......I am Italian, and quite hairy. I ahve to shave every single day if my legs are going to be showing, which is about 9-10 months a year. So when it cold out, I get lazy. But the extra pelt on my legs really keeps a girl warm, ya know?
 
:thumbsup2 Congrats Deb on your GPA.

I'll be back home when you get to DL. :sad2: My birthday is Friday so I'll be in DL then but head home the next morning. I hope you and your family have a great time in the park. :goodvibes

So I made the decision to take off tomorrow too so I'm looking forward to a relaxing day. After the kids are done w/ school we're going to make our gingerbread tree, the last few years we've done the house and train but this year they wanted to do the tree.

Hope you all have a nice evening.

Steph
 
Hi Linda and Tina and everyone here I love (which is ALL of you, if you didn't know that!)!! :)

Linda, my Daddy is the same way with me. I love him. :lovestruc

Today seemed so rush rush rush with me. I was so busy and I did a little bit of Christmas shopping.

I got my 2 girlfriends from work each a gift card for $10 from Charlotte Russe.

I got DBF a Stitch stocking and a Saint Michael pendant. Since his birthday just passed, I'm just going to get him a gift card for Old Navy so he can get him some clothes. We've been dating for 6 years, and in the past 6 years with birthdays, Christmas' and anniversaries, we've bought each other everything possible, I think I'm just going to get him clothes from now on.

I got my parents a charger for our Wii remotes. My Mom wants some perfume and the new Susan Boyle CD (:confused3) and my Dad doesn't know what he wants - his birthday was last week and my Mom and I gave him gift cards to Borders. So I'm lost with him.

And that's it! I'm going to make some cookies for everyone else at work and I think I'm going to give my favorite cousin a gift card.
 
Hi girlies--I'm supposed to be at a party right now, but I canceled--had a dinner out with some girlfriends at this fancy schmantzy place in Newport Beach and I just couldn't do two nights in a row, y'know?

Congrats to all those with good grades and GPA's--very proud of you.

Hugs to all who need them.

New sharp razors to all those who need them too (including me!)

I haven't even started Christmas shopping--just can't seem to get motivated. Tomorrow I have to go to the eye doctor for my annual appt.

I love you all too!

Later gators!
 
Hi ladies!! I missed chatting with y'all today. But I spent the day out running around finishing up Christmas shopping. I am happy to report it is all done. Done, done, done. Stick a fork in me, I am so done!!! :banana:

Nothing left to do now but enjoy the season. Ruben's parents and his sister are coming this weekend and I am really excited. She's like my own sister. We are very close, but don't see each other near enough. So this will be a rare treat. :goodvibes

I did read back to everyone's posts, but of course was too tired (lazy??) to multi-quote thinking I'd remember all I wanted to say and well, you guessed it. My brain is empty. :confused:

I did like Carol's pics, Cristabel's pup, and congrats to Deb on her awesome grades!!! I see that Tina is in desperate need of a vacation, and Steph is looking forward to her DL trip! Vicki has cute Dumbo ears, and Jane doesn't shave often. Linda likes tuna sandwiches, and Courtney needs to make me some cookies, and Cheryl needs me to come do her shopping for her. :thumbsup2

And now thanks to this thread I want Uggs. Stop talking about Uggs. I cannot afford Uggs and it makes me sad. :sad2:

;) (Not really, but now I do want a pair! lol)


Anyway, forgive me for forgetting anyone. Have a great night. TTYL!! :hippie:
 
Like many other divas I live in my UGGs all winter long. However, my Target FUGGs are just as good as my "real" UGGs and cost only $25-30 depending on style as opposed to $100+. Beth, you should ask Santa and maybe you will get a pair (or at least a gift card so you can get them yourself)!
 
Hi Gals,
I have not read back much so forgive my lack of response. Mostly just really sad to be cancelling my Christmas trip. My Mom has been having some medical issues and it turns out she is having a procedure on Monday and I want to be here. She told me not to worry and to go, but I can't. I mean she is going all the way under, I could not live with myself if something happened. We have been very fortunate in the Disney time we have had this year and I am not having a pity party, but am just sad:(
When I told my 7 year old, he got all sad and almost cried, and said, "I really wanted to go on Screamin!", and then two seconds later was onto the next thing. So I guess I am the only one traumatized. (I think my husband is relieved!)

Well, I'll be back again some day!

Good Night all.
Tracey
 
Just wanted to pop in real quick & say goodnight!

Jen- Hope your job interview went well :wizard:.

Beth- Good for you that you got all the presents wrapped up and ready to go! Now you can enjoy the time with your family when they arrive :).

Jane- Enjoy your 2 weeks off :thumbsup2. I hope you can get a little relaxation in :cloud9:.

Deb- You go girl! It's hard enough to get good grades when you are just a student. But being a mom & also working, that's a great accomplishment :thumbsup2.

Hi & hugs to everyone else :wave: :hug:.

Good night!
