Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too (Part 2)

What crocs have you guys worn? As much as I love my Tevas; I wear them out every trip - have to throw them away when I get back. They're only $20 but still, if I found a pair of crocs I really liked, they would probably last longer, no?

I've tried on the regular crocs and didn't think they looked or felt right.
 
Cammie, I just wear the beach crocs - they are my faves. I also have the mary janes, but they don't seem to have as thick of a sole so they're not quite as comfy for walking. Also, I love the beach crocs because they are roomy AND they protect my feet from people stepping on them! And NO crocs actually look good! But I'm a believer, and I've got Jeff hooked, too! Plus, Ally has two pair now and I just saw that they now have HM and HSM crocs so might have to get her a new pair before our trip!!!
 
So the beach crocs are the regular, original crocs?

I was on the website and was wondering about their flipflops also. I really hate having my toes covered - it feels so stifling to me!
 
Yes, the "original" crocs. I don't usually like having my toes covered either, but these are so roomy, that my toes never touch the ends or the top. And the holes allow them to breathe!!! After getting off Kali River Rapids, Jeff, Ally and I had dry feet in a matter of minutes. Everyone else squished around the rest of the day! HA! Yeah, that was my evil laugh! And the crocs don't hold the water like some of the flips do.
 

Hi girls - quick hi actually. I'm trying to keep busy. Too much to worry about. I sware I will have about 25 extra grey hairs after this week. Between "issues" with Carlos, worrying about getting my CT results and the firecrackers in the Atlantic.. plus nasty ole Gustav. errr...

I'm just barely checking email. I'll try to catch back up tomorrow. I saw there are several pages to catch up on. I hope that everyone is okay!
 
Hi guys!:flower3: I'm gone for a day, and you all are burning up the pages!
:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: I am roaring about your most inappropriate crushes. Zac and Michael Phelps are my young ones. Patrick Dempsey, Matthew McIcan'tspellhislast name correctly, and George Clooney are my old men. Shaun Cassidy was my 6th/7th grade crush. I had wall to wall posters of him, and lived to get my Tiger Beat magazine! I just knew that I would marry him because the magazine articles told me it was possible!:lovestruc The girls love getting their M and J-14 mags. I like flipping thru them too!

Renee - I was thinking of you yesterday when you had your test. You asked about Disney gift certs. Are you talking about Disney Dollars? If so, I buy them all of the time for our trips. It helps me to save fun money. My parents and ILs get them for the girls for occasions during the year so that they can have extra spending money. It's a great way to stash away cash for Disney!:thumbsup2

Tina - I don't know anything about Lyme disease. It sounds like it can be taken care of w/meds. I hope that everything is OK.

Kara - Congrats on your JC success!:cheer2: Great about your outside kitchen. Can't wait to see it! I loved your outhouse/bathtub story. I'm w/ya on the paperwork that comes home from school. It's hard for me to keep up - esp. the first week! What cards do you have ready for your WDW trip??

Tammie - I didn't realize your DDILs didn't get along. I'm sorry to hear that. That's got to be hard for you. It sounds like the little ones are keeping you hopping! It's good that you have help on a couple of days. Ice? It sounds like you make REAL ice cream. I bought a cheater ice cream maker that doesn't use salt or ice.:rolleyes1

Jillian - What a cute baby! Congrats! Sorry to hear about your girlfriend. I am so sick and tired about hearing about cancer. A guy that I work with, that I've known for years, is losing his battle w/cancer. It happened quickly. I just learned today that he is in hospice care now. He has 3 yr old twin girls and a daughter less than a year old. He and his wife are wonderful people, and are handling it beautifully, trying to enjoy the rest of their time together. I just don't understand. It sure makes me think about telling those I love and care about how I feel more often! Life is too short. Way to go! on your NS and getting your plane tickets!!:woohoo:

Cammie - I love your pics. I am sorry to hear about your family's antics. It made me sad to hear about it. I am w/ya on not traveling w/family. It's not easy at all, no matter how much you love your family. We are experiencing the Jonas Bros mania, too! It's fun! I swear by the Crocs, too. I just have the original ones and love them. Those would be the only shoes I wear year round, if I could. I wear socks w/them when doing a lot of walking and in the cooler weather. Last WDW trip, I wore them the first day, tennies the second, then Crocs all of the other days. They were much more comfortable than my tennies. They do take a few days of getting used to though...Try them, you'll like them! Give them a chance! They might just kick your Tivas' butt!:)

Debbie - Your WDW plans sound great! I am so jealous! I loved the Zac Rolling Stone picture. I let Taylor get that for her wall. We STILL haven't hung it yet. I need to do that for her this weekend for sure. We ALL need to enjoy it!

Laura - It's so nice that you have the getaways that you have. How's Tim's back?

I am sure that in the time it took me to finish this, you all have created another 2 pages of posts for me to read!

:grouphug: to all!!...Pam
 
Pam...I knew the Zac pix would get ya back here quick!:rotfl2:
Which ones are you getting, Debbie?
Patra sandals...lived in them more than anything this summer then for Elizabeth I want the Disney Athens and Mary Jane's

Hi girls - quick hi actually. I'm trying to keep busy. Too much to worry about. I swore I will have about 25 extra grey hairs after this week. Between "issues" with Carlos, worrying about getting my CT results and the firecrackers in the Atlantic.. plus nasty ole Gustav. errr...
I'm just barely checking email. I'll try to catch back up tomorrow. I saw there are several pages to catch up on. I hope that everyone is okay!

Hang in there Renee...I hope it all works out. Please let us know about your results!
Also...did I miss a decision being made about the trip?
 
Soontobewed - I'm so jealous you got some great airline prices!!

Crocs - I love my crocs. mine are the generic ones, but my Disney ones are real. I don't wear them all the time because I don't want them to get worn out. My generic ones I wear to the bone. I use to work retail and my feet still hurt - crocs are the only thing I put on my feet when I wake up in the morning. They are so comfortable.
 
official nerd weighing in on Crocs....

Some are made in mexico, colorado and some are made in china. the ones from mexico and colorado are substainially softer than those made in china. I know this because I spent 2 hours in the crocs store looking at the stupid things. The sales person actually pointed this out to me. The regular crocs are known as caymans or beach crocs.

Tim has an mri tomorrow for the back. Hoping that it is just the disc. I am paranoid that it is something more now. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed.

We were going to go to the state fair and stuff our faces silly. Dieting can wait. Everything on a stick and fried. Just wait for the Rep.Nat'l Convention, I'm sure they will highlight all of our silly things at the fair. Only Texas beats us.

Love the man candy day. It was a nice highlight while I am at work on break. yes still breaking the rules--kind of but I'm on break.

The trip plans are making me sad. I really want to go again. Tim is looking at a new job that has the potential to be MUCH better salary. So I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is a go. Debbie this is the one that could eventually end us in Chicago. ;)

OOOOHH........we could be friends who SEE each other!:yay: That would be the best!
 
OK, my grown up crushes are Matthew McConnaughey - I told Jeff that if that boy shows up on my doorstep, all vows are off! Cause it could happen any day now! :rotfl2:

And I still love me some Jake Delhomme - Carolina Panthers QB.

Matt won't be coming over to your house - he's coming to mine ;) I don't know who the dude in the helmet is - he's fair game! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Now that's a crush I can talk about! :laughing:
 
So the beach crocs are the regular, original crocs?

I was on the website and was wondering about their flipflops also. I really hate having my toes covered - it feels so stifling to me!

Cammie, I wear the disney beach crocs - love em, although they are a little big. Lindsay loved her disney mary janes she got at DL. I got the flip flops, and the piece between my toes was so thick I got a blister in one time down to the pool - peeled off the skin on the bottom of my foot. :mad:

Renee, take a deep breath! I know you will be fine.

Debbie, put down the credit card! :rotfl2: I do want a new pair of crocs, too - I'm holding off for now.

Kara, I can't wait to see pics of cute little Ally doing her gymnastics!

Jillian, score on the plane tickets! So far I see $600 ea. for us :scared1: congrats on the weight loss!

Cammie, sounds like you are busy getting back in the groove. I can't believe your family can be so insensitive. You do such a good job of making Amanda feel special, and Lauren is a gem!

Pam, it IS real ice cream - I bought this machine at a yard sale a long time ago - it has two little quart-sized containers - just perfect for Laura's recipe, BTW. I never even thought about the kind you have.

Laura, by the way - thanks for the recipe - we loved it! I made one batch of vanilla and one batch of chocolate. Have fun at the state fair. We never seem to make it to ours - I love all of the fun gadgets and things you see there, and the entertainment, not to mention the food.

I was just telling the kids that I can't believe the trip we're going on is not Disney! :eek: Mark says we're traitors! :lmao: I will be doing a TR on the community board. I hope I can get a new camera before we go. It seems like we have all these odd bills right now.

Well, gotta get to bed - have a great Thursday everyone!
 
Now for the Man Candy photo of the day....

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Get it? John CANDY!!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Oh, I crack myself up!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
Pam, the cards I make have the park hours listed for each day, plus the times for parades and fireworks, of course color coded by park... :rolleyes1 Then I enter my ADRs with confirmation # for easy access...

Friday, Nov 14th (AM-MK/DHS/AK/EP; PM-MK/DHS/AK/EP)

Magic Kingdom 9am-7pm
Dreams Come True Parade 3pm
Wishes! 6pm

Epcot 9am-9pm EMH Evening
Illuminations 9pm

DHS 9am-7pm
Block Party Bash 3pm
Fantasmic 7pm

Animal Kingdom 9am-5pm
Jingle Jungle 3:45pm


Then I print on 4x6 notecards and laminate and hang on my bag for easy access. The different colors up top indicate what TGM says about each park for the day, that way if we want to hop to a different park we can eliminate those that are red days. I know, I'm a geek. :scared:
 
Did y'all see this? http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/epcot/ep-worldshowcase.htm#kim

I hope that's up when Ally and I go in November! She is a big Kim Possible fan! For her 5th birthday, I had a Kim Possible party. We had all sorts of games, and each time someone one, Kim Possible (aka my sister) called the winner on the kimmunicator (aka Jeff's cell phone on speakerphone) to congratulate them and give them a clue. While the kids were outside I hid all the presents in the bathtub, and all the clues led the kids to the presents!!! It was so much fun! But it was also sooooo much work and I was exhausted when it was all done. I know she was only 5, and there were about 10 kids there, all of them totally getting into it! But I wanted it to be PERFECT! And it almost was, until one little snotty kid went to use the restroom and found the presents!!! So of course I had to hide them again! But the clues were already done and pointing to the bathroom!!! Little brat! Anyway, I digress. But I'm excited that Kim Possible will have a gig at Epcot!
 
Now for the Man Candy photo of the day....

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Get it? John CANDY!!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Oh, I crack myself up!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Hi Tammie...did I read your temp right????? OMG I would die if it was 45 degrees! We are expecting 80 today thank goodness!!!!!!!
I got a welcome back Arbonne deal yesterday so I might take a look today.

Nice pics girls...really how did we forget Johnny Depp yesterday!

I found my crocs at Shoe Mall.... not a better price but they at least they put 10% back into my sunshine account. You guys should seriously use that site when you shop. It's free $! I know some of you signed up under me. I can refer you if you want. The tricky part is just remembering to go to that site to click on the link you want to shop through first. Disneyshopping is one of them!

Well, since we stayed home from Wisconsin until tomorrow I HAVE TO CLEAN and get organized today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good one girls!

Tina...how are your kids feeling?????????
 
Here's my candy for this Thursday morning.
Matthew McFadden - so cute!

I'm trying to get one of Ewan McGregor, but I'm having trouble. I just think he's awesome. Has anyone been watching his Long Way Down show on the Realty Channel? Love him!!!
 
AARRGGHH!!! Debbie, I keep forgetting to log in there before I shop! I have spent a ton of money this summer on all my outdoor furniture from Home Depot - and it's one of the merchants!!!! And just last week I ordered outdoor bar stools from them, too!!!! I'm going to keep it as a shortcut now so I see it and remember to use it!

It all adds up, right? I do UPromise as well. That is also FREE $!
