Siobhan Good luck with your shopping trip...I am an LL Bean fan...have been enjoying the new spring catalog that I got....some things in there that I think I need!

How nice that you have an outlet store nearby...

Good Morning Everyone!!!

4 days!!! WOW!!! I am and excited and jealous!!! I would love to be going to GF and most of all...I would love warmer weather!!! I live through you girls in the meantime!!!

I made Mare's Coffee Cake last night and let me tell you its the best coffee cake I ever made. I looks store bought and tastes amazing!!! It was so easy, I've made worst coffee cakes that were twice as hard to make!! I actually had to cut it into squares, pack it in tupperware and hide it or I would have to make another by Sunday!!! Thanks Mare!!! What else do you have????

 

[WishesQueen]

BTW - I hope everyone's husbands are on the mend and feeling better!!! I also hope all the wives are taking care of themselves!!!!

Good Morning I am home from runnig my errands.
I left here at 7am and hit walmart and shaws. Then I came home and put everything away and then I went to stop and shop and then went and got gas and went to CVS.
I am now home and staying here!

Channing Didnt see Wife Swap but it sounds like I didnt miss much....I like to watch things that make me laugh not aggravate me!!!

Well....that's the way it goes any time you watch a show that isn't scripted. This was the first time in a long time I saw it. We always get a kick out of it....it makes us feel so normal. But usually the jerks redeem themselves by the end....so I sat there for an hour with hope that he would see himself for what he was....didn't happen. But.... I love reality shows.

48 days until spring

I saw the first half of Wife Swap. That guy was a jerk. Where do they find these peeps?

Drew Peterson's fiance broke up with him after she saw him on Night Line. Good thing she saw the light before it was too late. What a creep.

I know!! WHERE do they get these people/!?!?! I'd say Britain lol...but I haven't ever seen another rude British person ever. That guy was an oddball.

She broke up with him?!?!?!? WOW

I am glad she finally came to her senses....he is CREEPY.....

My ticker says 4 days!!!! Holy Toledo! I am having serious packing issues!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Morning All


Not much going on around here this afternoon but we are going to my sister's tonight to celebrate my mom's birthday .....so that should be fun.....the cousins don't see each other too much so they will enjoy spending some time together .


Chan.......I TOTALLY agree about that whole family . And yes I did see the girl at the end saying how she has to study hard so she didn't turn out like the other wife.....JUST HORRIBLE for that little girl to be brought up that way . That other family had SO MUCH MORE class than those jerks!!!!!


Siobhan.....Have fun shopping and packing . Can you believe it's so close already???? It seems like this was just getting planned and now it's only 4 days away .


Maxie.....I hope DH is feeling better each day . Have fun heading out today to some place other than to a drs appt . Keep that spring coutdown going....you know I depend on you to know just where we're at when I lose track .


Kelly.....You amaze me........you have so much discipline to get up and out SO EARLY to get things done . I'm still on my first cup of coffee and you've already been out, back, and have everything put away already . Those GF Gals don't know what they're in for next week .


Dawn.....I hope DH is doing better .

Annette: I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! I made it Thursday night to bring to school for the teachers on Friday for Teacher Appreciation Day. DH was mad he couldn't dive into it I might be making another one tomorrow!

Chan & Deb: I just watched Wife Swap, I DVRed it. OMG that British guy was a real jerk. His wife wasn't that much better, either. They were just so insulting! Really not enjoyable to watch.

Kristin: May Park hours have just been released.

DH took the boys out somewhere, most likely to the hobby shop to look at the trains. I'm relaxing on the sofa in my PJs still!! I just don't want to do anything today.

TTYL

[Maxie86]

Where is Dawn with her awesome news?

BlueSkies, yes, it was good to get out and not go to a Dr's office. I am even going to the mall to walk this afternoon. I should be cleaning the house, but I have a hard time doing things when everyone is home.

 

[Lives4Disney]

Maxie....I do too!! I can't get anything done while my kids are around. It seems like a giant hole I can't dig myself out of. At least when they are gone I can feel caught up....if I try.

Yeah...where is Dawn?!?! OH! I think she's scrappin" today.

Mare...I have to try that coffeecake. I love PJ days. Enjoy your time!

I went to Chase today. Holy guacamole.....they are annoying. I sat there for an hour and talked to two helpful ladies - who weren't annoying.....who, when they called to get info, got jacked around by Chase too!! They gave them the same numbers to call that we called. But they took copies of everything...and will make more calls Monday to get to the bottom of this. At least I feel like they CARED and that's 1/2 the battle.

These last few days before a trip drive me insane. I want to SHOP or pack....just can't sit still ....but I have no motivation at the same time! I have stuff I need to take care of...but not in the mood. I am so excited...and keep thinking what to bring....but the weather is crazy changing...and now it looks like rain a lot in wdw when we're there. And a bit cool...but cool there is nothing like cool here.

OK...ttyl

[BlueSkies]

Mare How nice to be home alone relaxing... I'm going to be making your coffee cake too for our super bowl party tomorrow...hope I get the same rave reviews....

Deb Happy Birthday to your mom have a fun get together

Maxie I cant get much done when everyone is underfoot either...I usually try to recruit some help but it never works... Enjoy the mall...

Kelly I knew you were up and out getting everything done before the rest of us were even dressed....

Channing I'm sure you gals are going to have a great time...! We are looking foward to hearing all about it....making your wings tomorrow too...I'm sure everyone will love them...have to go out and get the hot sauce today...hope I can find the right one...

Annette Wendy posted a great Mississippi Mudd pie recipe on page 2 of this thread...didnt make it yet...but it looks yummy....

Dawn I want to know too...love hearing good news...

Have really been enjoying so many of the recipes from my GF friends..thanks everyone!

Well I'm off to get some groceries...and freeze!!!

I hate the cold...ttyl...

 

[WishesQueen]

Just printed it out, I am on a baking roll!!! Thanks

Channing - I have try those wings too!!

 

[Lives4Disney]

I just picked up a ton of wings while I was out at Chase.....there were NONE to be found yesterday when I was running and looking!

ANyway....Happy Saturday...I am doing housework with my iPod on so my kids leave me alone. I can be in my own little world.

TTYL!

Mare....I hope you're enjoying your pj day with DH and the kids gone . We all need those days every once in awhile . I am going to try your coffee cake recipe this week.....I hope it turns out good because I am no Betty Crocker . Did you mention a few pages back to use real butter ? With all these recipes floating around I can't remember what hints go with what recipe . We don't use butter so I'll have to remember to get some when I go to the store next.


Chan.....I'm glad things went well at Chase today . Even though it's not completely settled yet, it sounds like you had some luck with the ladies at the branch who will get it taken care of on Monday .

And you're not alone with feeling that way right before a trip . I always want to start packing.......then I think I should go shopping for last minute things.......then I just don't want to deal with all that because I have to make sure everything with the animals is all set......make sure I pay any bills that may be due while we're gone.......the list goes on and on....it's just a CRAZY time for me too . This will all pass and you will be on that plane before you know it .


Maxie......Have fun walking at the mall . I can't get anything done around here when everyone is home either..........they're either getting in my way or calling for me to do something for THEM . I do much better when I'm here by myself......get more done that way .


BlueDeb........Thanks for the Happy Bday wishes for my mom . It will be nice getting together since everyone is usually so busy anymore that it's hard to get all 14 of us in one place at the same time . Have fun grocery shopping.....stay warm .

Deb...yeah..it's just an uneasy unsettled feeling. I am working on other things today to take my mind off the weirdness.....LOL...and the Chase thing..it's on it's way to being settled. At least that.

Have a FUN time tonight with your extended family!!!

Thanks .

Try not to worry so much cuz you're gonna have an AWESOME time . And don't fret about the weather......you gals are going to have GREAT weather and ALOT of FUN . DH said it's supposed to be in the 40s here next week (can't verify that as I haven't seen a weather forecast lately )....but if it's up to 40 here, it should be VERY NICE down there . Have a few drinks for me in the cabana . And don't forget LOTS of pics .

Deb

Yeah....i dont' feel at all as crazed as I usually feel when trying to get kids ready to go, too. this is my best trip ever. I am not worried about Tatum...or anything. I just had to make sure Jojo has a house key because these dunderheads are not trustworthy.

I guess my weirdness is more impatience. I wanna leave NOW....if somebody called and said LETS GO NOW!! I could quick throw my pile into a suitcase and RUN!!! I'm READY!

OK...so who all are we going to have a drink for?? Kelly needs to know & do that duty. I will help.

It is pretty nice out today actually!! It was 33 on my car thermometer. And sunny!

OMG...I am laughing because Z stayed up all night....and work called and they need him to close....he has to go in at 5 and work til 2 am! Serves him right.

I have a running Target list going on now....
I have to load a bunch of CDs into my computer......I have a lot I could/should be doing.

TTYL!
