Having a GRAND time - The Official GF Chat Thread PART 2

[vbarry]

Thanks! My hubby is a HUGE St. Louis Cardinal fan. We also talked about taking a few days down in March for Spring Training. We would probably definately stay at Vero. I think the kids would like it.

I know it is hard to get into on points from March through the summer but I can try.

Thanks, Vanessa....oh ya...another year of this recital hassle. I'ts not just ONE it's THREE. Three show times....dress rehearsal today, recital Friday night...soccer game Sat morning....recital Sat afternnon and again Sat eve. By Sunday I will be fried....and that's when my neighbor's DD's graduation party is....I have been avoiding that commitment.

Here are some goofy pics of Jojo....I just took these.....She is in a "Funk" class...it's a little kid hip hop. They are dancing to "You dropped a Bomb on Me"...baby...you dropped a bomb on me...yada yada...the oldie.

AND THE BEST FOR LAST.....HER LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE IMPERSONATION.... NO! She did not see the movie...LOL....It just comes naturally....

 

[Cinderumbrella]

She's the cutest!!! (Love those lamps BTW )

 

[vbarry]

Channing- She is so darn cute!

You are going to be exhausted by Sunday. I was so glad it was over when we got done this last weekend. It is fun but a lot of work. Lily is still little and they made her sit for the entire 3 hour show. She was starving and very crabby. Hope you make it!

Morning Ladies!

So glad my computer let me chat last night

I have a bunch of misc housework to do! But I have to say that my DD's 2 and 3 are dressed up to the tee! It's gonna be a Fancy Nancy kinda day here! We are gonna have a tea party for lunch and I have to dress up according to my 3 year old

I am thinking about pulling out my huge wedding dress and surprising them, I can't zip it because I was a 4 then but they won't care! I know my 3 year olds eye are gonna pop out of her head she loves wedding dresses!

This weekend I am going to goodwill and restock the Fancy Nacy box with some fancy dresses!

Have a grand day ladies!

Mandy,
This just sounded so wonderful. Did you get you wedding dress out? What a great idea....a fancy nancy box. So tell me did you do tea and cookies?

I purchased a Hummel tea set for parties with my girls. Can't wait to use it (under supervision only)

Today is a laid back day for me. I got some bug whle in NC or flying home. Sore throat, head and noise stuff. So I am just watching HGTV and crusiing the DIS. Talk with you later.

[Cinderumbrella]

Feel better!!! (I always seem to get sick after flying!! I can't believe it was DH that got it after the May trip this year and not me!! )

 

[Lives4Disney]

LOL...thanks...she is a goof.

We are just killing time here waiting a few minutes til we leave for rehearsal...

Vanessa, OMG..I KNOW! They make the little girls all sit in one tight room...(Kristin will know this place ) it's at the Raue Center for the Arts or whatever they call it...it's a landmark all redone and they are CRAZY PICKY about everything....they don't let the kids touch anything, eat, drink, NOTHING. they SIT. So by the time it's over we are just cashed.

LOL on the lamps, Kristin...one is on my desk. I had no way to work it into the family room...with outlets and cord etc.

OH....Hey..I had never heard of Fancy Nancy til you guys but Target has the most ADORABLE Fancy Nancy doll and outfits!!! OMG>>>I WANT ONE for myself!!!!! When did this become popular?? Is there only one book or more?? I know if Lucy saw that doll she'd go nuts for it. It is soooo cute & her outfits are just precious.

She looks so cute!
My DD does jazz, tap and ballet and just had her recital last week! Luckily, all 3 were on the same night! But it made for a long night! Long but cute!

I know I stay at the GF and wear tangled sweaters, but that does not make me cultured!!










If it isn't the CL Hooters, than I don't know where it is!!

Heck- we know every Hooters within a 60 miles radius!

Nope- we are staying at the GF...but no culture here!!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Hooters wings are my guilty pleasure (even if they are about 200 calories a piece!!! And you don't even want to know how many of those things I can eat in a sitting!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

[vbarry]

Ohhhh....do not tell me about the calories! I love the wings.

Sad to say it is one of our family's favorites. (does not take much to please us country folk!) Lily begs to go to Hooters!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

DS5 does too!!!

 

[Angel16]

Ladies...did you know Vegas now has a Hooters Resort? I read about it while on vacation. Other than the gambleing I wonder how different it is from the "regular" hooters? Hmmm on second thought maybe I don't want to know since it is Vegas.

Channing, Jojo is is just too cute. I can tell she really enjoys dance. You both will be exhusted by the end of the weekend. Try and get lots of R&R before.

Cinderumbrella, Thank you. I don't know what the deal is. I have gotten sick after our last two plane trips. I use the antibiotic wipes for the arm rests, tables and drink plenty of water. If someone had to get sick I am really am glad I got sick instead of DH, he is undergoing cancer treatment right now and sure doesn't need a cold or such to sideline him.

chan. jojo is a doll baby!!!!

 

[Lives4Disney]

i'm back! Thanks guys...Jojo is a goofball. The rehearsal went well but two girls were missing and they were needed.

Princesses,,Jo is taking jazz and ballet next year!

Did any of you guys see 'Little Miss Sunshine"???? OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie....one of my favorites for so many reasons.

I love wings!! I won't go to a Hooters though. Nasty. ick. I make my own or get them anywhere else. Our neighbor (when I was a kid) was an AA pilot from Buffalo NY - moved out here about 30 yrs ago and taught us the right way to make wings at home back then....way back before anybody had a clue about them. Love em! We make a batch up every Christmas Day....LOL...maybe that's why my kids don't want to be away from home on Xmas.

I see the GF Faq thread has been busy. Somebody is telling a vegetarian to order a big ol' cheeseburger and wine for her 21 bday. Faux pas.....

Eve Gals...
Whew are you all busy today!!!

Morning gals!

It is going to be pretty quiet here in about a week while everyone is gone.

We want lots of photos and reports!!

This will help the time pass for Dawn and I. We have a LONG wait yet!

OH YEAH!!!! Glad you were chatty last night

Brook I have to agree with Mandy although I don't use BMinerals I take my tack box, you never know what your going to need!! Actually I have it in my carryon, because I afraid of anything melting or getting lost!!!

OK ladies I am going to venture into a topic that we have not covered!! As far as I know!!! I am a freak about hair removal!!! Bikini, legs, eyebrows, lip etc. I usually have my bikini waxed, but during the summer it sucks that you have to let it grow in inorder for it be done, besides it kills.

I just ordered an electric razor, that all I could say is OMG!!! I haven't tried it on the bottom of my legs but my thighs and bikini came out like I used a regular razor.

Panasonic Close Curves Wet/Dry Ladies Shaver
For anyone interested it is something you must try. I am going to order another one for Natalie to use now that she's shaving her legs I would feel better if it was electric.

Gals,..this is a good one..we have it here!

ok...all this talk about ziplocs has me thinking.....

Mare you seem to be the ziploc queen.....is there a size to use as a treat bag for goodies for Jojo to give her soccer girls?? I need it larger than sandwich but smaller than the storage size? AND I AM SERIOUS!! No wisecracks from the peanut gallery. I was at Target looking today and didn't see any, but seems to me other kids have had them.

Hmm.....I am thinking of bringing a few to WDW too now ...only for my norway bakery almond pretzels though....I can buy one to eat and one to take back to the resort. I LOVE THOSE pretzels.

The many uses of ziplocs.....interesting. I do always put my toiletries in them....I use tons...in case they leak. Once we were walking thru Ohare with what looked like blood leaking out of a roller...leaving a trail ...it was Cherry red NiQuil. Nobody stopped us...we could have been exporting body parts ...that's what it looked like...from then on ZIPLOCS are my friend...they haven't ventured into restaurants though.

Okay, so what do you ladies think about this tote bag?

http://www.ebags.com/fergie_for_kip...ceID=GOOGFEED&color=Yellow&CAWELAID=152915862

I found it today at Daffy's for $46. I didn't buy it but can't stop thinking about it. It's very functional and very well organized. I love the center zip pocket for my wallet. It would hold all my families stuff (I'm the keeper of the stuff). I'm just not sure about the yellow. I'm much more of a neutral color handbag person. It's a loud sunshine yellow and the material reminds me of a Fireman's jacket. Kinda shiny. But for the price, it's a deal at $46!

What do you all think??

Mare, I LOVE IT. And at $46, it's a real bargain!

Channing, JoJo is ADORABLE. Hannah's recital is this Tuesday. She had her dress rehearsal last week and she has a "stage rehearsal" without costumes Saturday. They only do one show though! Tuesday night and that's it! I will be sure to post pics for everyone when she is all dressed up on Tuesday! She takes a combination tap and ballet, but they are doing a ballet number. I think she wants to add the hip-hop class next year, but I want her to add the ballet only class ... We'll see!

 

[Lives4Disney]

I LOVE IT. And at $46, it's a real bargain!

And it's got lots of room for ziplocs full of food!!

I kid I kid!!!

I am having DH bring the backpack with us to epcot ...he can fill it with the Norway pretzels ...and maybe this will be my time to pack up some school bread, too....never tried that.

Chan

 

[vbarry]

O.K.- we are definately taking Channing to Hooters on our IL girls meet!!

I know Dawn will be up for it!

I may need a place to sleep that night!
