Deb My DH is pretty much the same...prime rib...some good old red meat some potatoes and he's good to go...:rotfl: DSs too...Between the three of them..they sure can eat...I'm sure its the same for you:rotfl: DD and I we like to think about the dessert....:flower3:
 
BlueDeb.....You said it.......neither DH nor DS bother with any of the other fixings........just the prime rib and they're good to go :rotfl: :rotfl:. Back some years ago my brother gave my DH a lesson in eating at an all you can eat prime rib buffet........just bypass the salad bar and everything else in the way so you don't fill up on that stuff and take room away from the prime rib :rotfl2: :rotfl2:. DH tells everybody that now.....forget the salad and all the other staples......go straight for the main thing :rotfl:. And can they eat :crazy2:. It kinda makes me sick sometimes watching them because after awhile it turns into a competition of who can eat the most :faint:......and I must say that DS13 is on the small side for his age, but boy can he sure keep up with the big boys :rotfl2:.


Deb :upsidedow
 
Deb :rotfl: it sounds like we'd better not be at any Disney buffets together...no one else will get anything to eat!!!;)

Thank you again for recommending the Cape May buffet...I think we're all going to enjoy that...I was reading the menu on Allearsnet and it looks great! dont know why we never tried it before...I guess staying at a MK resort we tend to eat at other MK resorts...and the parks of course...

do you have any park favorites??
 
Blue........No kidding........we'd probably close the place down :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:.

No problem on the Cape May recommendation :thumbsup2. We love it (aside from all the seafood as we're not seafood eaters :rolleyes:)......but we try to eat there atleast once every trip for breakfast and dinner :). It just seems to have alot of variety ::yes::. And the characters (at breakfast only) are so cute in their beach clothes :). I don't have any park favorites as we usually stick with resort TS :scratchin. We did do Crystal Palace about 4-5 years ago and we had a horrible experience there :sad2:. The food was just warm, not hot.....and when DH cut into his salmon it was raw :eek:. We haven't been back since :rolleyes2. We have tried Mama Melrose, Brown Derby, and Hollywood & Vine......but it's been quite a few years for those so I'm not sure how they are now :confused3.


Deb ;)
 

Tomorrow we are going to my parents house to celebrate 4 birthdays - sil, nephew, brother & mom. I told my mom I would make the cake. I like to try something new each year - this year I decided to try a camo cake. My dh helped me decorate and figure out what colors to use to make olive (he does graphics so he knows his colors) - he was a huge help. Here are a few pictures of how it turned out. It was fun and nice to spend time with him doing something different.

Helllloooo Gals!

Oh man...DH and I had a GREAT night last night! :goodvibes My DD had asked my SIL to take them out so she called and last night they went out to dinner and Chuck E Cheese and who knows where else! :rotfl: So my DH and I went out to a grown up meal and it started off rocky but turned into a great night! They sat us at this crappy table that was right in front of the waitress homestead...Tons of foot traffic and it was crappy...I didnt even sit when I asked to change tables but it was all they had!!! :snooty: I sat and said to the waitress bring me a martini before I cry! Well she did and boy was it good! :goodvibes And it made the table not so bad! :rotfl: The food was great and we just had a good time laughing and talking about our dating years! I realized that we have been together for 10 years! I know it isnt as long as some of you but in todays world I think that is an accomplishment! And... I still love him! :rotfl:

Well lets hope that the forcast is what it says for the 10-15 day...High 70s!!! :beach:

Oh Chan that is great about the suite! Yippie!!!

Lisa...nice cake! You and DH did a smashing job!

Who is going to Cape May for dinner??? I forget....:rotfl: Well if it is Maxie, back away slowly....It is not a New England clambake as advertised! And they do not have crab legs which was the whole reason we went there! THe pictures in all of the elevators have crab legs on them!! :snooty: I was not happy when we went and I asked where the crab legs were and they told me oh...we havent had them in a long time!!! :snooty:

Traci...that story brought tears to my eyes...Margaret and her family is in my thoughts!

Siobhan...the GF GAL that has been know to stay at YC
 
I am home from running errands. Now I am going to do my laundry and some toher stuff around the house.

There is no football on today!! What am I going to do?

Good Morning GF Gals :goodvibes


Lisa.....Great cake :thumbsup2. You and your DH did an awesome job :goodvibes.


Siobhan.......Glad you and DH had a great night out :). Congrats on ten years :lovestruc. DH and I will celebrate our 17th anniversary in June :love:.


Kelly......I was just saying to DS and DH last night that we have nothing to do Sunday because there's no football :sad:. I guess we'll have to wait out the week until next Sunday :happytv:.


Deb :upsidedow
 
Good Morning Everyone.
Siobhan Glad you had a good date night. I am not the one going to Cape May. I think it is Deb and BlueSkies. I know better. I once had New England clam chowder in Virginia. Well it was white.:lmao:

Lisa: Great job on the cake.:thumbsup2

Kelly: You have already done errands.:worship: I am showered and dressed and have my first load of laundry in, but that is about it. It is cold out. I've been avoiding going out.:rotfl: I am waiting for it to warm up a little.

I am on my last soap from Basin, so I had to order some online. Just couldn't wait until May.

GF gal that can't keep up with Chan on the tag lines.:rotfl2:
 
Good Mornin Everyone:)

It is sunny and very cold here this morning....but at least its sunny...

Siobhan We're going to go to Cape May...have never tried it and Deb and Channing gave it good reviews...good to know about the crab legs though...since we are not New Engladers we have no clam bake expectations...:rotfl: Glad you and your DH had a nice night out:) every couple needs a night like that every once in a while...yesterday at the nail salon the lady next to me was talking about the weather and mentioned how the winters were when she was growing up in Haverhill...!!

Kelly You've been out and back did some errands!! I'm still in my pjs...:rotfl: but I did put in a load of laundry....no football start packing!!

Lisa Your cake is incredible!! What a great job...when I bake a cake (from a box mix) one color of frosting (fom the can)is all I can manage...:rotfl:

Channing Where have you been...:confused3 Hope you got to catch up on come rest and that Jo is feeling better...

Deb The Brown Derby is one of our park favorites too...we always liked Alfredos(which isnt there anymore) at Epcot..but I'm thinking of Teppan Edo Kristin has given this good reviews...I like TS a dinner time....kind of a forced break..gives everyone time to relax a bit...re fuel!!;)

Here I go writing another novel...again!:rotfl:

Have a good day all..ttyl
 
Hi Maxie Good Morning!

We are almost out of Basin soaps too...my DD loves them...me too

Have you ever ordered them on line before..are they the same offering as the Basin at the GF...I checked their website a while back...cant remember...:confused3 I know they didnt have the holiday soaps which is what I was looking for at the time...

This is the first time I ordered them online. The soaps are the same, but they don't have a many. Didn't have any trouble finding some I like.:rotfl2: I really like them, they smell nice but are not overpowering. I have allergy issues so it took me awhile before I even tried them. Now I am hooked.:rotfl2: :yay: I found smelly stuff I could use without itching or getting a rash. I have to wait until May to get my favorite Mickey soap though, they didn't have that one.:sad1:
 
morning! I am here I am here......I am starting my pretrip neurotic worrying.....not good. I have been lying in bed thinking and thinking all about stupid stuff....but when it's going thru my head it doesn't seem stupid. :rotfl:

Jo is much better this morning thanks for asking.:)

I had a lot of stuff to get done yesterday so I was in and out and on the run. My life is chauffeuring these days. If Z would learn to drive stick shift it would make it easier as one of the cars he could drive is stick. I could...but I want MY car...which I think he wants too.....;) I am just waiting for a call from Lu to pick her up.

That is horrible about little Margaret from Missouri. I visited that page link a while back....and it is just heartbreaking to read...I had typed out a message but then erased it:guilty: . I was hoping for better news.:guilty:

Yah..I like Cape May dinner because I hate seafood. There are other good things there....I'd be mad too, though, if they are showing pics of something I liked & then don't have them! Unfair.

I have ordered from Basin White online. It actually comes from the GF shop!!

OK...I will write more when I have something good to say.:goodvibes

TTYL!
Chan
GF GAL with a boring life dreaming of an exciting one....:rotfl:
 
oH! I know what I forgot!!!

Lisa,
that cake is sooo cute!!!! I bet that took a long time to do all those little dots!! I love the colors and the camo theme!!!

Chan
GF GAL dreaming of cake now:goodvibes
 
You are so sweet to ask how my daughter's little friend is doing. Thank you. Sadly, I do not have good news. She is still fighting, but has been running temps that they have delayed surgery to set her neck and trach her. She cannot talk, but her parent have seen her smile a couple of times. She gets frustrated when trying to communicate. Unsure if she will indeed speak again. We just keep praying for peace and comfort for her & the family. If anyone needs a little pixie dust it's little Margaret in Missouri. Last week her older sister was at the cheer gym the same time my daughter was. She came up to Avery (my daughter) and just picked her up. Avery laid her head on the Katherine's shoulder. I said to the sister, you can take care of her in the gym (it's like a big family there). I seriously had to hold back tears when she walked away holding my daughter. You know that longing feeling that a parent gets when they need/want to hold their baby...I felt Katherine just wanted to hold a little girl that reminded her of her little sister Margaret.

DH just took the kids up to the mall. I am going to soak in a bubble bath. I asked him to bring me home a juicy burger. I needed a lazy Saturday night like this.

Traci -- After you posted about Margaret the first time, I signed up for the carepage e-mails. The posts from her parents are so much more courageous than I could probably post. Their saga reminds me a lot of my mother's illness and time in the hospital, but that's quiet different than going through it with a child. She also had to have the surgery for the trach, feeding tube etc. She could occasionally talk "over" the vent, but the doctor's said it wasn't good to do that.

Tomorrow we are going to my parents house to celebrate 4 birthdays - sil, nephew, brother & mom. I told my mom I would make the cake. I like to try something new each year - this year I decided to try a camo cake. My dh helped me decorate and figure out what colors to use to make olive (he does graphics so he knows his colors) - he was a huge help. Here are a few pictures of how it turned out.

What a cute cake!

My youngest DS is sick, so we're staying home from Church as to not share the germs with other families. I thought I would try to catch up on here, as I rarely have time to do that. I am so jealous of the GF gals trip -- you gals will have a terrific time. I'm so excited for you. Is anyone taking their laptop so we can keep up with the fun? :goodvibes
 
Morning....

Maxie~:lmao: locking the doors of the bus!

Lisa~Nice job on the cake....you gals are talented!

Siobhan~it is an accomplishment for 10 years..and that you can still say you love him too..Good for you:lovestruc I totally hear ya on those type of tables...i am picky like that too!


We ate at Cape May for breakfast and dinner...Not bad...Although i have to say most Disney food is now basically the same to me....We def dont go there to eat!! We have such great restaurants around here....give me a burger or dog on the go in WDW

Dawn....isn't Basin White stuff shipped from the GF?? I thought somebody told me that and that has been in my head....am I confused?

OH..BASIN..not Basin White....gotcha. I thought Mall of American had the other Basin White store....??? I am so confused.


OH..PS....Jojo had a nice long soak in my big tub yesterday with a Pink Sugar bath bomb...omg she smelled sooo pretty all night after that. I have never used my bathbombs...just the kids do.

Chan
GF GAL still dreaming.......but now getting neurotic
 
Thank you everyone for your nice comments about the cake, it was fun to do something different. I stopped and picked up some army men at a store after church. The package even has a USA flag, I'm going to put that in the middle. We want eat it till tonight, I can't wait till my 15 year old nephew sees it.

Channing - my DH and I do the same thing before each trip. I'm sorry you are having those feelings, hopefully they will pass soon.

Lisa, I hope you take a pic of the adorable cake with the little army men on it! What a cool idea. :goodvibes That is UNIQUE!!! My husband and I would be squirting frosting at each other and yelling and fighting if we did something like that together.:sad2: WTG for being able to work as a team.:thumbsup2 :rotfl: Wow..well I am glad to hear I am not alone....but sorry you do that worrying, too.:guilty: I just get panicky....it comes and goes. I will be fine once I am at the airport....omg I hope:rotfl: ....but THANK GOD Dawn is my flying buddy!!!:) (poor poor Dawn.....:rotfl: Just kidding...I keep it all inside...I won't be making any scenes any time soon - no worries:rotfl: )


Marci, I am bringing the laptop. :goodvibes

TTYL,
Chan
