Girls Trip~OLD THREAD (see first post for link to new one)

Aw Laurie. Big hugs for you and your family right now.

Well, I'm back and it wasn't so bad except for being cold. I wouldn't have had to go down at all if my mother had remembered to send in the title to my car when she "sold" it to me. It was in limbo so no registration renewal notice was mailed to us and I wanted to get that out of the way before my trip so I didn't have to pay more $$ than necessary. So it looks like when I get back from Disneyland I get to go back to DMV to get that taken care of. I guess we could mail it with a check for the fee but I'd rather get it done in person and know it's taken care of. Then I get to say it's officially my car.

Haha, don't mean to babble.

Laurie

So sorry to hear that - you and your family are in my prayers. Be the strong woman that you are and know that you have the Diva's love and support!!

Laurie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I will say a prayer for him, and also for you that you have the strength to handle this and make the decisions that need to be made, however difficult they may be.

Just sent you a text Laurie. Sending love and hugs to you!

Laurie, I know what you are going through, and it is very hard.
Many prayers and hugs to you and your family. Take care.

Aw Laurie. Big hugs for you and your family right now.

Thanx ladies, you don't know how much I appreciate it!!! I've slowly been losing my dad over the years, due to the alzheimer's. I don't want him to suffer & really don't know if he's really "living".....but these are not things anyone ever wants to face. Heavy sigh........

Back to the happy~~~ 36 DAYS DIVA'S!!!!!!!

I will send Beth all the confirmation numbers and the names that I have for the different venues - there is a little variation from the front page since a feel people pm'd me directly.

Thanx for doing all of that Bridget!!!!

Just a suggestion: if someone from each meal could have the list for their meal, it helps when making sure everyone is there when they check in. If someone's missing, they can text or call them.

We had a meal where half of the people didn't show up & we didn't have a clue who was supposed to be there with us.....so we waited for 15 mins before we had them seat us.

Wonderful!! Thanks, Bridget!! Just let me know which times and lists need to be adjusted.

Laurie, I wasn't there last year, as you know, but in all the years past, I've always asked that who ever had the reservation in their name, have a list of who was supposed to be there. That way it's easy to see who's there and who isn't.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Laurie - Big hugs to you my friend! Keeping you and your family in my prayers!

Steph - Same to you sweet girl! You take it easy and I hope the doctor can find out the problem....and then FIX it!

Laurie, I wasn't there last year, as you know,...

Hence why you should be there this year. Hellooo!

 

[Belle Ella]

Haha, I was just reading the first page again and I hadn't realized we have some team names for the scavenger hunt. Suh-weeet!

Beth - just sent you a PM with all the confirmation numbers and the ladies that I have for each meal -slight different than first page.

I actually got the reservations in a very nice word doc from vacation planning. I can bring some copies to the M&G - maybe one per room so everyone has the confirm numbers and names.

 

[Califgirl]

Steph, sending you positive, healthy thoughts for you and your heart. It's so unnerving to have heart problems. I'm hoping that the tests can identify what's going on and that it's easily remedied for you.

Laurie, I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad last year and it's just so difficult to see our parents get old. Sending warm thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone next month. It's coming up fast.

Ooh ooh.... Were you able to get us Jazz ladies into the band room?

OKay, front page is updated. Thanks again!

And yes, if you can bring some copies and pass them out to those who are listed under specific confirmation numbers, that would be great. Makes the whole check in process easier when there are multiple tables. We've had that issue in the past at CC with several different reservations and tables. Knowing who's going where and who's checking in, makes it smoother.

I requested it but it is not guaranteed.

 

[MamaKate]

OMG I'm falling behind again!! I'm so swamped at work with year end accounting stuff, I barely have time to breath let alone DIS or FB . And I'm always swamped at home......to bad it's not legal to lock kids in the closest for a couple hours a day to get a little break (I'm just kidding BTW).

Crazy girl you are a hottie!
Drink green tea in the morning and 2-3 liters of water throughout the day - no soda's - that should jump start you And you can always hop over to my room during the trip where I will be making a healthy breakfast every morning

Is anyone planning on doing the DL Half this Septemeber? DH just gave me permission so I will be there as long as I can get my entry early enough. Thankfully I should have a free frequent flyers flight by then.

Thanks for the tips Jen! I already have a box of green tea so I'm going to try this out .

Dare I say that I'm thinking about doing the 1/2 Marathon in September . You put the idea into my head on FB and now I'm seriously considering it. I haven't ran since high school so this should be interesting . However, I like the idea of having a fitness goal to keep me motivated so as long as I remember to sign up before it sells out, I'll be there .

Katie, You must be looking pretty hot, if you have been getting asked out for dates!!!

Well considering they are all friends from my past, it doesn't count . They like me because they know what a wonderful person I am and not because I am hot .

Evening ladies. I'm sorry I haven't been on a great deal (had some stuff going on w/ my heart and the military has started the process of determining if I'm still fit for duty).

You are in my thoughts and prayers girly .

Oh and if you need help that weekend cutting and counting box tops, just shoot me a message on FB. I don't mind driving up there for the day to help you out.

Mine is kinda small on me (darnit), so Katie don't fret, we can be sausage-y looking together and no one better say a word!

I got a call from my brother last night, that my dad is in the hospital. My dad is in the end stages of alzheimer's (and my step-mom passed a couple months ago). He won't leave his oxygen on & his sats keep dropping...so they took him in & also think he has some pulminary embolisms. It sounds like we (my brothers & I) may need to make a decision on his medical care & possibly call in hospice. This is not something I ever wanted to face.......my family could use your prayers. Thanx ladies!

I'm sorry Laurie . Your dad is in my prayers.

Hi Becci!! You and Katie better keep up. Don't make me get out my whip!

Too late, I need the whip . But I did get caught up on my lunch break.

I will send Beth all the confirmation numbers and the names that I have for the different venues - there is a little variation from the front page since a feel people pm'd me directly.

Yay!!! ! Thanks Bridgett!

 

[Belle Ella]

Katie, you should sign up for the Half in September Or if you want to start small do the 5K. I had to work my way up. Wait, I am working my way up, haha.

BTW, did you ever get the signature I PM'ed you?

 

[DizNee Luver]

I'm sorry Laurie . Your dad is in my prayers.

Thanx ladies!!

to Steph and Laurie and anyone else who might be in need of one.

I'm thinking that those staying at the Carousel and going to CoD ride with me and Sarah, that way you and your loot will be delivered right back to the hotel rather than HoJo's. If people shop like I do it's a lot to carry back to your hotel. I have room for 3 others so anyone interested just let me know.

Thanx Trudi!!

I'm staying at the Ramada Inn Maingate.....so catching a ride from the Carousel would be a way shorter walk for me & all my stuff (I had a couple big bags last time.....lol) -vs- the HoJo. If I could ride with you that would be awesome!

You should sign up! It's always a lot of fun! You can find training programs online that tell you how many miles to run each day and they will help you work your way up to 13.1 miles.

Wait...it's not??

Oh, I know you do.

I'll add your name to the same car as Trudi.

I could go with you and help you out, keep you from temptation. I am not much of a shopper. I'd have no problem walking in, looking all around and walking out with nothing.
When I shop with my sister-in-law, she does the shopping while I usually end up taking on the role of the man. You know, sitting on the chair outside the dressing room, holding her purse, fetching different sizes and reassuring her that no, those pants don't make her look fat.
