OK, here's my still to do for the trip so far. Am I missing anything major?
1) Double check the front page for meals I've signed up for (do today)
2) Buy a lime green shirt (any suggestions where I can find a lime green shirt? Are people decorating theirs in any way?)
3) Buy a black shirt
4) Pick out appropriate PJs
5) Buy a tiara
6) Try on tie-dye shirt
7) Do Iron on & Decorate
8) Write down all ressies per front page (right before)
9) Write down all things I owe people for & need to pay @ trip
10) Buy Disney dollars from Disney store & put in envelopes to try & budget myself
11) Pack (right before - will likely have another list, remember credit card for Napa Rose)​
Sounds good. Like Capri said we each will need to bring a bag of candy for the Meet and Greet candy buffet. Check Claires for the tiara.



My grandma would have been 94 today...she had a happy and until the past couple of years a healthy life. I hope to be as fortunate.
We all do. That's truly a long, full life. :wizard:




I'm sure it will be - you're always spending quality time with them and doing fun things like baking and watching scary movies - :)
:rotfl2:
 
It took several large black trash bags but we got a lot accomplished. We have trash bags and goodwill bags but a lot was weeded out! WHEW! ;)
:thumbsup2 We do that too.



Morning everyone! Can't believe I have two days left to get everything done.:eek:
You can do it!!




I have been on the search, and would you believe that I just printed out a recipe from all.recipes.com for the cake. It starts with a box, which normally I don't do, but it had some of the highest ratings, so I'm going for it. It's this one.

Give it a try. Sometimes starting with a boxed mix and doctoring it up works out really well.
 
I didn't wear a lime green one. I wore yellow. It's all good. :goodvibes
:sad2:

;)




I was able to get Luke some Lego Space Police sets (Geesh, Legos are expensive!). And Ryan really wanted a clock radio for his room, along with the Terminator Salvation Movie, some new winter gloves and a hat, some jammie pants, and a couple of video games. I also bought Luke some Transformers, Transformer Walkie Talkies, a couple of Sponge Bob videos, a new light saber, and new jammies. And they both wanted some Bionicles (love these because they don't cost a lot) and some Nerf guns. Oh my gosh....isn't that cool! I'm so excited! :yay: :santa: :yay:
Awww, they are going to be so happy!!! :santa:




Today is my last full day at work.
Good luck. Hope it went okay. And your new job goes great. :wizard:
 

We left for the airport at 6:45am (Mesa Gateway, not Phoenix Sky Harbor, flying to Rapid City, South Dakota), checked in at 8:30am, weather delayed the flight from 9am to 10:15am, took off, turned around, landed back in Phoenix at 11:15am due to weather in South Dakota, rescheduled for 7:10pm takeoff, went to a nearby mall, had lunch and saw A Christmas Carol (would have been alot better in 3D), called at 5pm, re-rescheduled for 5pm TOMORROW!!
Oh boy. I hope you get out okay tomorrow.




Love to all the Divas
Back at ya!! :hug:




Cheryl, Ha ha! That happens to be his apparel every night.:laughing:
You wild thangs. :thumbsup2




I don't know if I mentioned it but my co-worker is from Tulare.
My mom lived for many years in Hanford, so I am very familiar with that part of central CA. Small world huh?
 
Linda ,what is her name? We know a ton of dairy families here.

Goodnight to you too Beth! :cloud9:
 
Today was my 8th anniversary. It was a crazy day but all turned out ok. DH bought me the 1940's version of Pride and Prejudice which I am excited to watch. Hope you all are having a great day!

My mom was baking up a storm this evening!








Diana, Tyrae and i went to Del Taco.

Jingles got groomed today and we found out she's in heat :headache:. I wanted to spay her before she went into her first heat but I ran out of time. I'm scheduling her for an appointment in mid January at the Golden State Humane Society. They only ask for $50, my old vet was asking for $200+
 
Oh Darn! I am so behind again!
Vicki, really sorry about the loss of your Gram. Glad you were able to be there in spirit and on phone:)

Has anyone read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series? I started the first book last night and it's good so far.

!
MY 13 year old voracious reader has read them all and is looking forward to the movie. He gave them a thumbs up. :thumbsup2

Kelly, that is crazy. :eek: I'm glad no one was hurt.

Heather, bummer about the table. :sad2:


Molly, thanks for all the info. One day we'll have to go. ::yes:: I mean, it's literally about 5 minutes from my house. Seems a shame not to.


Stacie, good to see you. :)

Mel, first date?? EEK! I am not ready for dating in this household. :scared1:

Deb, hope the salt water works for ya! :wizard:

Hi Sarah, Donna, Courtney, Cheryl and everyone else!! :)

Me too to all of the above. The entertainment book usually has a good coupon for the Melting Pot in our book.

Plus...Congrats to Heather on the IEP. That is amazing to get them to agree to everything in writing.

He's even cuter in person. :goodvibes

Regarding Ty; This is so true! That litttle fellow is personality plus.

Awww, they are going to be so happy!!! :santa:

Now that is what Xmas is all about Capri!

I really hope you all have a wonderful joyous day.

Tracey
 
Good morning girlies!
After my job today I am officially on vacay!!!! I am so ready!
Have a great day!
 
Good morning girls! Only 2 days til Christmas! :banana: :santa:

I hope everyone is doing good! I :lovestruc all of you! :hug:

Nothing is up with me today. Work and then I'm going to finish my shopping (I'm normally not a procrastinator, I swear) and wrap my last presents. Help my Mom make some candy tonight and I think that's it!

MY 13 year old voracious reader has read them all and is looking forward to the movie. He gave them a thumbs up. :thumbsup2

Oh yay! :thumbsup2
 
Morning and happy hump day all!

Cheryl good luck with all your shopping. I am SO glad I am done!! Hope you are done soon and it is not too much of a hassle!!

Stacielee I hope you and your dd can get out today and you have fun in SD!!

Stacerita enjoy your last day and good luck with your new job!! I know you will do great!

Cristabel LOVE all the baking pics! Sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy those tamales. Yum!

Sara congrats again on the anniversary! I am so gald you had a nice time on your trip and what a nice hubby you have!! :)

Mel I KNOW you are going to have such a fun day with all your family! Enjoy!

I am off to work here in a few to get some last stuff done since the office is closed the next few days and then hopefully get my hair cut. The girls and I didn't feel like venturing out yesterday. I don't think we are going to make it to see Santa this year either. Just too much craziness going on. I agree this year it just hasn't really seemed like Christmas much I am sure it will though on Christmas morning.

Shane is off again and probably will be now for AWHILE. He is filing his claim with unemployment as we speak. I just hope it isn't too long till he gets a check!! Plus I am really hoping after the first of the year that he can find work at another shop or something cuz we really can't live off unemployment. It is not nearly enough to cover our bills. Anyway enough of that. We are supposed to have the Dish people coming to install the dish today but have heard nothing from them so I don't know WHAT is going on with that but the only good thing about shane being home is he can be here if they come! I really don't like to be alone when those people come in case they have questions or whatever. Then mom really wanted to see Blind Side tonight but I am not sure if that is happening or not.

I hope everyone has a good day today and is getting lots accomplished towards their Christmas goals and having fun while they do it! :)

See yall later!
 
Vicki :hug: Happy to hear that you were able to listen to the service.

Mel - Very eventful evening. Like your daughter I wasn't allowed to date until 16 and when I did (the first time) I was so nervous. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Cherly - You are such thoughtful friend. And a brave woman to deal with the Christmas crowds. :goodvibes



Ever know what you want to say but your not sure how to say it??? I'm feeling like this right now. :confused3 I just want to say that our group has pulled together to 'take care of our own' many times this year and I want to say THANK YOU ALL!!! Up until this group I have had only a few close friends (and they live across the country....thanks to the AF). You all are amazing and I am very thankful to have you all in my life and more importantly thankful that we have each other in our lives.

PS
I'm not really ready for Christmas. I still need to go to the grocery store tomorrow and I know I'm insane for going then but it guarentees what I need is the freshest possible. I need to wrap all of the Christmas presents, figure out how many batteries we need to have in the house, charge Raine's DS (so she'll be able to play with it on Christmas), sync Selena's MP3 player (I've been downloading songs throughout the year and copying the kids' CDs), bake pies, make a gingerbread tree with the kids, and this morning my boss and I are delivering Christmas presents to one of our Airman as he and his family had a tough year and we wanted to make sure his dd (age 4) has a great Christmas.

Okay I'm tired just writing all of that out.

I apologize if I missed anyone's updates.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Steph
 
I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I apolgize that some of my cards did not get out. Half did but the other half were stolen, guess they thought there was money in them. We've had a real mess at home this past week :sad1:and thankful that Ayden still has gifts coming from Santa that were hidden and not out in plain view like all our other gifts were. Anyway, I still have so much to be thankful for. Merry Christmas to you all.

Are you alright? Did they find the person(s). Am I right in assuming your home was broken into? I know it's short notice but is there anything I can do to help?

Ditto!!

The Blind Side is SOOO good!!! Make sure you see it, at some point.

It's supposed to snow in Rapid City today, but at least the plane can land in snow, it can't land in frozen fog!! Yesterday, it was 1/4 mile visibility and the clouds were basically on the ground. Better safe than sorry!!

It's supposed to be 9 degrees tomorrow there! Good think I have lots of warm clothes to take!

Prayers & Hugs for those who need them right now!

:santa: Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! :santa:
