My money is on this team - isn't this most of their team from Mouse Adventure?


Everyone is going to have to have their A game on to beat this team.

True dat!

Yep, they're the scavenger hunt professionals. We'll be eating their dust.

[LOL..... Theresa, You never know when you might have to replace a coffee pot!

That's the problem - I replaced it, but Frank hid the ones I was replacing - dang him and his hoarder ways!! He says "I'm saving it to give to someone"...... but four years later, get rid of it already

Today I get the pleasure (NOT!) of having a repairman hanging out in my house for a couple hours. Our master bathroom shower is leaking so that needs repair, along with some of the flooring around the shower. The good news is, we don't have to pay for it since we are renters. The bad news is, the guy coming to fix it is very creepy and unpleasant, and I do not look forward to being home alone with him for however long it will take to fix the problem. Oh well, at least it will get done.

Have fun with that! Last week I had a slightly frightening and definitely creepy painter here for 10 freaking hours, most of which I was home by myself. Not very comforting.

Are you going to have a yard sale? Make some extra moola? You should! Get some extra stripper cash for the next time you are in Vegas.

Yard sale? No way. Always start with the best intentions, then don't have time, then just pack the crap to the next place. Donating a bunch o'stuff to the thrift stores. Someone's going to get a fairly nice, multi-cup Keurig

Good luck with the move though are you moving far??

Thanks - and thankfully not far. We like this area and didn't want to make Jesse change schools for grade 12. I thought that might be a little too mean (I am mean - just ask Jesse - but not quite that mean....... yet )

You could always put Jesse in charge of a yard sale. His motivation....tell him whatever money he earns, he can keep.

Although I'm sure pretty people are not having yard sales right now. At least they're not here.

Hi, all! Happy Wednesday.

I'm pondering team name possibilities...

In the meantime, a question for Northwest DIVAs: Are we still planning a mini-meet @ Southcenter for the 21st? I haven't heard any details and worry I may have missed something. Thanks!

 

[stacielee]

Linda - I'm actually having to bail on the trip this year. I haven't said much, but we will be moving at the end of February, so it's just not going to work out this year. Have a really nice drink for me, 'K??

BTW - I love ordering shirts from Zazzle. They always do a great job



True dat - no trippy for me right now. I'll be celebrating my b-day by unpacking boxes - woo hoo.

...... and I think we rocked at hunting for eggs and bacon (and Mickey pancakes!). I remember looking out the windows and seeing teams rushing by in the rain as Heather, Shirley, you, and I sat there in the warmth, enjoying our yummy brekkie Ahhh, good times


I just found out that Alaska Air has a sucky way to deal with trip cancellations. I've had to cancel flights before with Allegiant and they just subtract whatever cancellation fee from the credit, but with Alaska you have to pay the fee and then get the entire ticket price you paid as a credit. Boo hiss.

Theresa, I'm so sorry you can't come! You will definitely be missed!! It's been too long since we've see you!!! So time to schedule our next get together!!

Yep, they're the scavenger hunt professionals. We'll be eating their dust.

Like I said, after what we did in WDW, I don't think anyone has anything to fear! But we're sure going to try!! Since I was on the 1st winning team, I do have a reputation to uphold!!

Kandace had asked about this a little bit ago and no one really responded. I'm not sure if anyone is still up for doing it??

Theresa, I'm so sorry you can't come! You will definitely be missed!! It's been too long since we've see you!!! So time to schedule our next get together!!

I miss you too, Stacie We definitely have to plan something for later on in the year, once things settle down. We'll be getting this move out of the way just in time for my crazy busy work to go completely whackado crazy. We'll *hopefully* be switching to a new system, so I will have to train 80+ transcriptionists PDQ and get everyone up to speed...... fun times. I'm hoping I still have hair left at the end of it all.........

You guys should do it! You, Kandace, and Theresa. I love mini meets. It's such a fun way to connect in between the big trips. And it's nice to meet some of the ladies beforehand if you haven't met them yet.
You've got the date, now just pick a time and place.

Like I said, after what we did in WDW, I don't think anyone has anything to fear! But we're sure going to try!! Since I was on the 1st winning team, I do have a reputation to uphold!!

I have no doubt you're team will bring it's A game. And with the other teams prepared give it their all as well, this promises be one interesting hunt!!!!!

You work to hard. When is play time??

 

[mommaU4]

For those contemplating the mini meet (Kandace, Theresa, Michele and who else is in WA? Tracey? Capri? My brain fails me atm), I Googled Southcenter and got the Westfield Southcenter Mall. Is that where you were thinking of meeting?
If so, they have a Bahama Breeze! I love it there. They also have a BJ's Brewhouse which I highly recommend for their avocado eggrolls. And I saw a Cheesecake Factory.

I'd make it a progressive party and go to Bahama Breeze for a fun, fruity cocktail, then to BJ's for appetizers, and finish at Cheesecake Factory for dessert, with some shopping in between. You could even make a day of it, and catch a movie while you're there.
Someone buy me something pretty, 'kay?

I'm going to say around $25 if you get it at a gift shop (GCH or PP). I can't remember the exact price (it's been a while ). It was $45 for a bottle at Wine Country.

Oh that's not bad. I will be getting a bottle!
:

Good morning, ladies!! Happy Wednesday! I'm so glad this week is half over. I hope it's been a good one so far for everyone.

Today I get the pleasure (NOT!) of having a repairman hanging out in my house for a couple hours. Our master bathroom shower is leaking so that needs repair, along with some of the flooring around the shower. The good news is, we don't have to pay for it since we are renters.

Oh well, at least it will get done.

showers are overrated anyways...

Speaking of Magicale, I just found a bottle last week when I was organizing my room . I don't know how I forgot about that baby, but I will be bringing it on this trip if you'd like a glass .

yum! I'm anticipating the fun!

I've been getting ready for open house next week- the principal wants our classes interactive so that the parents can learn too. This should be fun with my sign students! Hehehehehe

 

[mommaU4]

Now that's a hot look.

showers are overrated anyways...

Thankfully he's done already. He left a huge mess as well as muddy shoe prints all over. Not professional at all, and not someone I would've hired. Then again, I'm not paying so it's not up to me. Now we have to wait 24 hours before we can use our shower. Guess we'll be taking over the kid's shower, once I move all the bottles of bubble bath and other paraphernalia out of the way.

Good luck with the open house!

 

[Zoemakes5]

Probably. Talked about it, and we have such an awesome team name, it would be such a shame to waste it.

We have a huge amount of fun. I am THE MA ambassador. Apparently the whole mom look I have going makes me more approachable so I passed out my cards within the first hour and a half.....



It is pretty amazing how quickly they do do the math though.

I do not recommend a Splash group trip. Load those logs up with adults, and there is no doubt you end up with squishy shoes for the day!!!

If it's anything like our first trip, it's wet squishy shoes, purses, clothing, hair.....and everything else! I still think of pouring out my purse over by the Treehouse!

Zoe and I want to do the MA, but I think we might have to wait until the Fall one. Lots going on in March.

 

[kandyk]

Kandace had asked about this a little bit ago and no one really responded. I'm not sure if anyone is still up for doing it??

Michelle and Theresa- Do you want to meet at South Center Mall on the 21st at the Disney store? What time works good for you, late morning around 11? We can do some shopping and then find some food? Beauty and the Beast will be in theaters if we wanted to catch a movie, there's lot's of other movie options too.

Let me know what works for you, I would love to meet some more Diva's before February. I'll also see if Jamay can drive up for the day too, she's just down in Portland.

Any other Diva's want to join us?

I would have followed behind him with a mop

The gym kicked my butt tonight! I had on this cute sports bra tank, but the workouts we were doing kept making it creep down - my trainer had to keep tugging it up as I was lifting at least he is good looking!

Yep, they're the scavenger hunt professionals. We'll be eating their dust.

Yup...I am thinking of bringing one of those blue doctors face masks so I don't choke on said dust!

I have quite a few high school girls at work and at church that are wonderful and I just love them...I am praying mine turns out the same.

I cannot believe I have been away for a week! Just got caught up and I am so excited about the SH! Hi team Can't wait to start planning outfits and names!!!

Wow...at a loss for what to say I think I am settled on food, hotel, and all that jazz. Oh! Can I ask how much a bottle of Magicale costs? Cause I would love to have some more - I forgot how you even get it.

HI!

Good looking, and handy........

I need to make myself get to the YMCA more than the once to twice a week I have been. The outdoor pool is SO univiting this time of year.

Shall we just give team 6 the trophy now and call it good?!?! Yikes!

Hey, I am a doctor.... I can get us a box and pass them out before the hunt for those participating.


Muhahahahahahahahahahaha


Does anyone need latex exam gloves? Hey, no harm in asking.......
