Having a GRAND time - the NEW Official GF Chat Thread PART 4

[traci]

Is it just me, or does Kelly make you feel lazy as all get out when you read her "what I did before 6am today" posts

Here is what I have done:
got up
brushed teeth
fed kids breakfast (which consisted of donuts because my two nieces spent the night I'm too tired to cook)
ate 2 donuts after I kept telling myself do not eat that donut...nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. didn't work. I ate the donut. It was so good I ate another
took the nieces home
WAIT...I did do a load of laundy, folded it and put away (I am officially caught up with that).

I'm going to look at Marvels trip pics now.

hey how many days till spring??

 

[Maxie86]

Good Afternoon everyone.

Marvel: Welcome back. Thanks for posting pics. Waiting for more.

Chan: Hope DS feels better soon.

Traci: OMG that is so horrible, I don't know what to say. Prayers said for Margaret and her sister. I can't imagine what the sister is going through. Keep us posted.

We had about 4-5 inches of snow and it is still snowing. It was supposed to stop by now. Hope you north shore gals didn't get too much.

68 days until spring.

Marvel - Love the pics! Yeah, 3 days at UO was enough for us, especiallly with FOL. I'm scared to go back now! Honestly, UO is definitely something you only need to do every 3 or 4 years IMHO!

Where's the floor pics? Did you set up your webcam,too?!

Traci - So sorry to hear about the little girl. That is heart wrenching! We will keep her and the family in our prayers.
So awesome of the Jonas Brothers. I love them as a mom! I think they are awesome role models!

I'm probably in the minority, but I really wish they'd up the driving age to 17 or 18. I remember being a new driver - I was sucko at it at first, no matter how much I drove with my parents. It takes years of driving in different conditions,etc., not months. Just too many different scenarios with driving that can't be "practiced".

Hello everyone and welcome back Marvel!

I was up 7am this morning to hit the supermarket's annual "can-can" sale! Seriously, little Italian old ladies were fighting for their cases of tomato cans and 50 cent Ronzoni Pasta So my pantry is stocked! I won't be needing any can items for a good six months!

Marvel: Can you believe this snow? We got a dusting. We didn't go to PA because the snow predictions got us worried. It was all for nothing! Love your photos, thanks for sharing.

I'm also thinking of things I can order as surprises for all of them when we arrive.......

Just a warning, the GF Private Dining is not so perfect. They've been messing up stuff lately. DH ordered me a cake for my birthday, and that was fine. It came right after we checked in (mini cinderella castle cheesecake). But then on Father's Day I ordered him tuxedo strawberries and they lost my order. I placed the order two weeks prior. I had to speak with a manager and rush the order. Everything was fine in the end, but I had to be on top of it.

I'm wondering with this new birthday promotion if things will improve?

Another idea, DH always sends me stuff to the room. He'll buy things in the parks without telling me and send it to the room. They'll box everything together for you. On my bday, he sent me the sparkly GF t-shirt which came in a beautiful box and wrote a nice note on a GF notecard. Other times, he's bought candles, mugs, nightshirts, etc... and they package it all together.

Traci: That is so awful! My heart breaks for her family! They're in my prayers. I've been a Jonas Bro fan since Camp Rock. DS4 likes them and Demi Lovato. That's wonderful they responded so fast! They're good guys.

Hello everyone else. I'm off to relax. Not used to getting up so early on a Sunday!

Hey POP TART gals, (you know who you are!)

Fiber One now has Pop Tarts!! 190 Cal and 4 grams of Fiber. I think that's about 3 WW Points per tart (guessing). Heard they're yummy!

I'm right there with ya.....she seems to get more done within an hour of waking up than I do all day .

Thanks for the heads up . I haven't decided on anything to do but this is good to know should I decide on something involving private dining .

How sweet of your DH to think of doing something like this .

okay I have cleaned all the counters and the oven, did another load of laundry and started another and I am watching the game. GO Eagles! I hate the GIANTS. I am also routing for the Chargers in the next game.

 

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

I'm with Deb and Traci- Kel makes me feel LAZY! I know she does more in a day than I do all week. But I have been mostly good today...3 loads of laundry, a load of dishes and both are full and running again (I decided to run the burner trays from the stovetop -ok, i broke a glass and had to do that! but still!) And the kitchen is swept (glass again! )

More laundry to fold. UGH! I hate it as much as I hate winter. When I win the lottery I am moving somewhere warm and then NEVER doing laundry again.

 

[Lives4Disney]

I am lazy.

It's sunday. I am sleep deprived. I am crabby.

I am gonna be lazy.

CHan

 

[goofygal531]

Deb: DH can be thoughtful - sometimes. WDW just makes it easy for him

It was just an idea should you want to purchase something when you get there and send it to your families' rooms.

There's a lot of things from PD that you can have waiting in their room for them. Channing is probably the best person to fill you in on all the goodies. I know they have chocolate Mickey's, chocolate GF candy boxes, etc...

Have a roast beef in the oven and just relaxing. Boys are STILL in their PJs

I'm with you. I am being lazy today. I could easily take a nap, but it is too late for that. If I slept now I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. I am having a hard time staying awake though. It is cold and snowy and I just feel like hibernating until spring.

 

[hobbester]

Traci-I am so sorry for Margaret and her family. You are a very good friend to do what you did and I know they appreciated it. I will keep sending prayers that she overcomes the odds and gets better soon.

I haven't done much today either. I washed and put the sheets back on the bed, I love sleeping on clean tight sheets. I watched Horton hears a who, then I ironed a few of my work pants for the week. Now I'm not going to do much more this evening. Have a good one - Lisa.

Look y'all she even cleaned out the oven....

Who do I order a gift basket from to be delivered to the resort? Isn't there a gal that makes them?

I also wanted to add - THANK YOU all for the kind words for my daughter's friend. The prayers and well wishes are very much appreciated.

Hello All!!!

Taci...I was just thinking about you! we havent seen you! That is terrible about your DD's friend and sister...I cant imagine what they are all going through!

Oh Kel...who are you kidding....I know you have been sitting on your keister watching football like my DH! Just kidding!

Oh Chan I hope you feel better with a good nights sleep!

My step daughters baby shower was today...She is due when we are gone gals....Ooppsss! You might all have to buy me a congratulatory drink!!! (amongst others)

Lisa...I love love love clean sheets! I always clean them the day I leave so that way when I come back from vacation they smell great! I dont like them tight though....I need them all loose....

Sheli....nothing worse than a broken glass!

Marvel...Let me tell you that I found the book of Marley and Me in the bathroom on the way to MCO... I read the prelude and couldnt read any more! I was crying for the simple line about when his mother called to tell him that Marley was gone his mother said the father only cried 2 days in his life...One on the death of his sister and the other the day Marley died....Forget it...I packed it up and never opened it again! My DD keeps asking me to take her but I dont think she could handle it...Too much of an animal lover!

Hi everyone,

Boy is it quiet on here tonight. Traci, all day i have been thinking about that little girl. It just breaks my heart. Today when my son left to pick up his girlfriend I was sure to enforce the DRIVE CAREFULLY that I usually say. My prayers are with her and her family.
