Gnomies Gone Wild

[Lady Lallie]

I am okay today. Ready for the weekend. A little disgruntled that Marc had the same Upper GI as me today and he didn't have to drink the chalk liquid, he just had to drink the cold one that tasted better. Pffft.

I need to do some serious Disney organizing this weekend. I feel like I am all over the place with my plans and itinerary.

OH see its the complete opposite in my house...my mother in law will only help if I ask her for help, which is so nice THANKFULLY!! However when my MOM comes to the house and I happen to work on a day she is over, I will come home to a museum like house, she will even Old English my wood furniture its insane!! I just kind of stare at my house in horror because who knows what she found and say thanks...LOL!!!!!

Sorry for the inlaw drama CP but I hope everything will go fantastically for Chelsea's bday!!!!

Alrighty ladies, just got done doing my 30 minute 80's workout video!!! (cracks me up everytime watching them workout in yellow hightops LOL)!!

 

[MegansMom]

LL---I wonder why Marc got the good drink....Pfffttt on him getting the easy way out!

Katie---I just got a chance to look at the pics/virtual media from the house you visited...looks great...what a beautiful yard!!!! There looks to be a lot of storage in that kitchen...gotta love that!!! I LOVE that fridge...that is the kind I want in my next house! I also love the ceiling in the LR.....awesome!

LOL...have fun with that!! I need to go over my plans too...I'm just a procrastinator and feel like I have plenty of time LOL!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I am very upset he got out of it easy. I was trying to really freak him out too since he did the same for the last appointments we had. I was a nervous wreck!

I must get organized, it's causing me to feel cranky and unmotivated. And that is just not how it's suppose to be with Disney!

 

[MegansMom]

You have inspired me LL....have some planning I need to do...I'll be back in a little bit!

 

[jenjolt]

You have inspired me LL....have some planning I need to do...I'll be back in a little bit!

Maybe I will get motivated...except all my Disney stuff is at home LOL!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

How could you leave home without it!? I always have my Disney notebook with me!

BUY IT! You have wanted it for weeks, you really need that, it's so you.

I finally ordered my Tinkerbell giftcard off of the Disney website today.

Morning girls!

Julez, I'm so excited for you BE GONE UBER-FUNK!!! We love you and are here for you always!

LL, sorry about the chalky drink but according to Patrick, the other isn't good either! When they suspected appendecitis, he had to drink that stuff. they handed me a 16 oz cup and told me he had to drink 1 now and another cup an hour later. 16 oz is a lot for a little kid as it is, 16 oz of something they don't want to drink is A LOT!! It took an hour to get the first one down and I asked how much he actually had to drink of the second cup. they gave him a small bathroom size cup and he was able to get it down. Poor kiddo, he thought that was one of the worst parts of the entire procedure, including the operation!

CP, so sorry about the IL drama! Happy birthday Chelsea

MM, yes the kitchen has a ton of storage. the fridge is listed as "negotiable", I definitely want it!! The yard is wonderful too! Lots of mature trees for shade but would be nice and sunny in the winter (south facing). Greg said he would move the shed out to the other back corner of the lot and make more "living" space right behind the house. I can just see a wonderful playset and firepit for summertime smores

How's your trip Jen?

 

[Lady Lallie]

Katie, I had to drink three types of drink! The fizzy stuff, the chalky thick stuff and then the cold better stuff. Blech! I am going to have to do it again after surgery too.

I can't even imagine having a little kid drink that stuff!

 

[kschafer]

I forgot to share with my gnomies that I got my Vera in the mail the other day! For those who weren't in chat, I got a mini hipster. It is Rivera Blue and since it is a discontinued pattern, the clearance price was pretty good! It's really pretty but smaller than I envisioned. It won't work for everyday use but will be great when all I want to carry is my phone, keys, sunglasses and a small wallet. I'm giving it a test run this afternoon to the arts festival.

 

[Lady Lallie]

That is great Katie!! I hope it works well for you!

How are the gnomies this afternoon?

CP- Sorry for the in-law frustrations. I can't complain about my experience w/
in-laws after this particular vacation because MIL was sick the whole
time anyway! lol Happy Birthday to Chelsea!

JenO- Have your mom come to my house!And the 80's workout thing sounds
HILARIOUS! What fun!

LL- Good luck w/your tests! Icky to have to drink that stuff.

Katie- I liked the house very much that you are looking into. It does seem to
suit you all better!Your Vera sounds cute! The festival sounds fun!

Paula, C, Stacey, and Jess- Hey!

-------------

HOUSE UPDATE: So... yesterday the family and I spent an HOUR at the house
with the realtor and Jim was ready to make an offer!

When our realtor called the bank's realtor to ask a few last questions,
she says, "Did my office call you?" and Chris (our realtor) says, "No"
Then- "Oh I'm so sorry. They were supposed to call you and cancel the
showing because the bank accepted a verbal offer earlier this afternoon."

WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Oh well. I keep reminding myself that if it was meant to be- it would be.
BUT I only want what is meant for us so even though I think it was PERFECT-
we'll just keep plugging along, I guess!

No work this weekend! Woo Hoo! I wanted to take the kids to the free zoo
in Madison (WI) tommorow but I dont' think I should because the car has the
dumb check engine light on AGAIN and is due for an engine flush.

Anywho- still house hunting!

What's everyone doing this weekend?

 

[Roxychica7]

OH NO Julez!!! That makes me very sad.. but thankfully you knew the outcome would be an option from the beginning, hopefully it makes it a little easier to deal with

LL-Gross to all those liquids! They all sound individually disgusting! Good luck with those!

CP-Happy bday to Chelsea again!

Katie-I love sales on Veras. They've been having SO many lately!

C-The lab was very slow this week. It's been exhausting taking care of the dog. We're already past 1 week of recovery though, so hopefully next week will be much easier!

Stace-Hows the job search coming?

JJ-How the trip is going well!

I'm already packed, put the dog into boarding, now just waiting for Blake to get home so that we can head to the beach. I'm still bummed that we can't stay the whole week, but the trade off was a weekend at Ocean City for a full week at Myrtle Beach. Hope you guys have a great weekend!

 

[jenjolt]

BUY IT! You have wanted it for weeks, you really need that, it's so you.

I finally ordered my Tinkerbell giftcard off of the Disney website today.

OOOH I'm so jealous I have to wait until August to order mine but it will be the last one I order so it will be well worth the wait LOL!!!

 

[jenjolt]

Aww Julez I'm so sorry about the house!!! I agree the perfect house will come your way and you guys will be so happy when it does!!!! Just have to keep looking!!

The trip is going well. WE went for a hike on the sand dunes today and that was so gorgeous hopefully in the morning I will post some pictures for you guys to see the water was gorgeous. THe uphill stairs...well not so much!!!

I finally ordered my Tinkerbell giftcard off of the Disney website today.

Out of curiosity, what are you planning on using the gift card for? I may do that this trip.

CP, so sorry about the IL drama! Happy birthday Chelsea

Hi, Katie! Chelsea had a great day!

OOH the Haunted Mansion lanyard and pins end to day I'm thinking I should get it OH the torture LOL!

So, did you break down and get them, Jen?

I forgot to share with my gnomies that I got my Vera in the mail the other day! For those who weren't in chat, I got a mini hipster.

Cute! Can't wait to hear about the trial run!

CP-Happy bday to Chelsea again!

I'm already packed, put the dog into boarding, now just waiting for Blake to get home so that we can head to the beach. I'm still bummed that we can't stay the whole week, but the trade off was a weekend at Ocean City for a full week at Myrtle Beach. Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Thank you! Have a great time at the beach this weekend!

Oh, Julez! That really stinks! How disappointing!

I'm going to put most of my $$ on the giftcard for this trip. It worked really well last time. It was so much easier whipping out the giftcard. I'm also going to put the money I need for the dining plan and such. I was able to use it for everything I wanted to purchase last trip. I don't go overboard with putting money on it, I have a rough idea of what I will spend and that is my goal for it. I figure if I have any leftover it's the beginning of the next trip.
