Hey GF Gals...just catching up on all of the talk..whew!

Vanessa~we are also sticking with SL in Nov. Nothing is open in RPC, but I dont care it will be great to be at GF!

Who watches American Idol..how about Brooke leaving last night?? For the past couple of weeks she had looked really nervous...It will be the battle of the Davids.

Brook~love your hib plants. I tried 2 years ago to grow a beautiful peach colored one, but it didn't come back the next year. I have to say my peonies are blooming up a storm, though.

Channing~how is your W/D coming along?

Off to a baseball game..at least its not cold out tonight!
How about those 1st place Chicago White Sox?? Dawn

Woohoo!! A woman after my own heart!!!

OMG! When I went back to an OLD photobucket folder to find that White Sox graphic, I found some pics from DS's first WDW trip when he was 2!!!

With his "girlfriend" He would have sat that there ALL day if we would have let him...

I loved it when Ozzie got the boot. I also agree about Nat.

WOW I actually have a lot of catching up to do...you girls were busy while I was gone

I wanted to comment on the luv bug thing... We get them here and OMG they can be horrid!!!!!! They can get so thick you can't breathe!!!! You open the front door and 200 will fly in the house... they really CAN get that bad...no making it up..... BUT like mandy says, they come in spurts... you may have a swarm for 4 or 5 days and then nothing for 4 weeks and then again you can't breathe as they are that thick....
The peak times for love bugs are May and Sept.
They breed and then bury themselves down into the ground to lay eggs.... and the babies come up from out of the ground to find a mate.....

Here are a couple of pics of swarms of them I googled

Here is what all the cars look like during love bug season

Who???






















Just kidding!!! I was a huge cheerleader for them in 2004!!! And even though we swept you guys in the first round of the playoffs in 2005 some of the nicest folks ever at WDW were from Boston, congratulating DH as he walked around the park proudly in his jersey the day after we won the WS

OHHHHH! I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW!!

Just got back from taking my daughters to get their professional dance photos. It is all the dancers and their classes etc. A entire studio full of loud little girls and STRESSED moms.

Well- I have to remember ballet shoes, clogging shoes, jazz shoes, two skirts etc, etc and of course I forget something...Lily's tutu (sp? have no idea right now) I of course freak and one of my friends says not to worry because they can take their individual photo in whatever skirt they want and then a group photo with the little jazz skirt (which was MUCH cuter) This mom (who I later find out is a grandma) says...I just think they look much cuter in the tutu so I feel they should wear that instead. (this is a outfit that they can wear the tutu for ballet and then switch skirts for jazz..same outfit different skirt) Are you kidding me??? You want my daughter to be the only one in the picture with a different skirt because you think the other skirt is cuter????? She continues to tell the other mothers that the girls are wearing the tutu.

I am freakin MAD by this time. I know I was in the wrong for forgetting the skirt but I would never let a child feel left out or look left out.

Thank goodness Lily is tough. She just went right up there and posed with the best of them. If that had been Lexi...she would have cried like a baby.

People can be sooo rude.

Well there is a bit of a story that goes with that particular shot... we got to spend lots of time with Jack... he was great!
Well we (meaning ME) bantered with him for a few minutes and then my DH said loudly~ Where's the Rum?
Jack: With a wife like this I see your need for rum mate

Just as he said that and I looked at him funny as he had JUST insulted me... and SNAP there went the pic
I love that pic as it is funny... everyone else is looking at the camera and I am checking out Capt jack hehe

Poor thing!! Reminds me of DS's first day of preschool this year in his first class room. The teacher had made all these cute name tags for the kids to wear. Well she didn't have enough and since our last name starts with "Z" guess who didn't get one? Are you flippin' kidding me??? He stayed in that class for all of 2 weeks before I transferred him out (She was HORRIBLE!!!)

Thank goodness she didn't notice!!
