Hi Girls!!!
Kara..I am on my way.....

(I wish)

The birthday party plans sound great and her reward too! I will toast you with my X like you are with me.

Jillian.... cute suit and YEAH!!!!!!!!!! to leaving in almost a week! You are going to have the best time!

Renee...good luck suit shopping. Before my surgery it was a nightmare for me! They have actually come a long way with suits for women who are chesty. I still don't buy tankini's because I can't find any that give me enough support up there! My favorite part about getting that surgery was bra shopping but then getting a suit!


Hi Tammie!!! Thanks for the email. I will get back to you soon!!!!
 
"The boys are back......and we make it look good...." Why, yes, yes you do make it look good Mr Efron! :rotfl2:

We went to the golf club for dinner last night - figured we'd support our local establishment. Plus, this restaurant has the BEST food! They change the menu monthly now, and have weekly specials. Our neighbors went to the Valentine's Dinner/Dance last week and said they had lamb and filet and it was like eating in a 5 star restaurant. Seriously, I don't know where the chef is from, but I've never had a bad meal there. And the prices are like Applebee's.....

Then we stopped by Sweet and Sassy so I could get the limo release forms for the parents to sign, Ally was soooo excited to see it and know her party is going to be there. But she doesn't know about the limo. As we were leaving, the limo pulled up and dropped off a group of girls. She was begging me to get a limo for her. It's gonna be hard NOT to tell her about it!

Then we stopped at Game Stop and picked up a couple of used PS2 games - one is CSI, so Jeff and I played that last night. Kinda fun, solving crimes. And finally on to Target to surprise Ally with HSM3. Again, she was excited. So it was a good night.

Cammie? Where are you?????
 
Kara- That sounds like so much fun. Sounds like Ally had a nice treat last night.

Renee- On the T shirt transfers I am no expert this is my first time. I have found out you need to apply pressure to the ones I have and need to wait for the transfer to cool before pulling it off. Some of the paper got stuck on one of mine so I am going to have to figure that out??? I think it didn't transfer or something but it is not bad so:confused3
 
Good morning everyone! I finally dragged myself out of bed; Lauren is still sleeping. Didn't get in until after midnight last night. Lord, it's going to take me a week to recover from this trip! But that's ok - we had a blast!:goodvibes

You girls were certainly a chatty bunch! I can't believe how many pages I missed! Well, I'm going to let Lauren sleep as late as she needs; then head to the food store; and then Amanda will be back home later this afternoon. I have over 550 pix to upload and will start posting soon; will also start a trip report.

I've got some opinions regarding the birthday celebrations - what restaurants did it right, imo. Also tried some new attractions - the American Idol Experience in DHS is super-fun(if you're a fan of the show) and the TeamKimPossible in WS in Epcot is a must-do for anyone!

I'll be back later this afternoon!

Hi Cammie welcome home .. can't wait for the pics!!

Hey everyone else hope you guys are all good
Jillian 9 days and counting you must be so excited :banana:

Ok how scary is this i am off out tonight to meet up with old school friends who i haven't seen since i left school at 16 yes 16 yrs ago :scared1: we are meeting in the pub we all used to hang out in (underage of course ;) not that i'll be telling Cj that bit) I'm so very excited but also a little nervous haha

Catch you all tomorrow
Take it easy
xx
 
Drink more water??:confused3 Oh, and we Norweigans know how to eat!:goodvibes



: Brings back memories - My boys used to stuff GI Joes down there -on more than once occasion we had a plumber in at night to actually remove the toilet!:scared1:



Can't we all use a little Disney? I'm glad Ally is doing so well!:thumbsup2

Jillian and Lorrie - Cute Suits!!!! I really like the tennis dress one - more casual.

Well, I'm getting ready for another party tonight - I have my pants in the wash, so I'd better go get them in the dryer - I'll check in tomorrow - have a great weekend everyone!
Yes, had the toliet removed too. I about died when he sat it in my shower! I think I poured a whole bottle of bleach on the floor of my shower after that. I was so grossed out! :scared:

Are you seriously Norweigan? If so, you must decifer that Askershurs menu for me. I really would rather do lunch, but Carlos is more scared of that menu than being locked in a room with chatty 3 year olds for hours! ha ha! So presently we have breakfast schedule....I eat a bagel, he eats a bagel, the kids eat toast. :rolleyes1 Expensive toast...:sad2:

1. Borrowed my friends Clipper - 3 coupons - best one was for $10 to S&S - sorry that is of no help. I'll still keep my eye out.

2. Must tell me about the CSI - I've thought about getting that for us.

Glad the trip was so much fun. Can't wait to hear about it. I didn't know abou the Kim Possible - Nicolas would like that! :goodvibes

Erin - how funny! I bet it will be a great time - lots of catching up! Can't wait to hear how it goes. Don't be nervous - be yourself. If it doesn't work out, just don't talk to them for another decade! :thumbsup2 :rotfl2:

Well, I took a big leap of faith today and went RED. I mean really red. At first, I was a little freaked out - it is growing on me though. In under it is stronger - think like bright red hooker wig red :rotfl2: with bright dark pink, but she did say red fades quickly, so we will see. It is just hair after all. :confused3

I have everything to make Mia an ELMO party - the cricut cartridge, etc. Well guess who has turned into little miss DORA? :headache: So do I keep the Elmo or go with Dora - her party is in two weeks btw! :scared1: I'm thinking of Princess Dora maybe. She just loves it and I'm not doing too much for her - so ...

I made my autograph books. I loved them. Kinkos bound them at the top instead of at the side :headache: so I had intentionally offset them to allow for that. Well - now they bound the top so it looks a bit like I goofed, but it will be okay. They only charged me $5 to bind two and laminate the covers and back and laminate my stroller tag. So I guess all in all it was a wash. I need to quit trying to be such a perfectionist.

It is so cold here! We're getting snow tonight.

Oh - I left Nicolas in soccer. He said he wants to play. I'm leaving it up to him. BUT, I'm totally vetoing that 2 hour practice Monday. Our HIGH will be 42 and he wants to start practice at 5 pm - I don't think so. :snooty:
 
WELCOME BACK Cammie!!! We missed you but I loved my pix!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup2

Have fun tonight Erin!!!:)
We got more snow today!:confused3
 
Welcome back Cammie!!!! And YES, I'm always exhausted when I get home and it takes me longer and longer to recover.....

Lorrie - love the hair! I don't think it looks hooker red at all!!!

Debbie - saw the snow whipping through there - surely spring is near?

We got the stereo installed in the golf cart today, so we cruised around listening to "beach" tunes - Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley, etc. It was fun. It surprised everyone and turned into a gorgeous day here! So we ran a bunch of errands and got a lot done. It seems everyone was out and about today. We did have a freeze last night, but I really think that is the last one. The 15 day forecast shows it slowly warming so I think once we get into March we are safe down here.
 
I'm not even back 24 hours and my ex has pissed me off ROYALLY!!!:mad:

I don't know why I let it get to me though; he makes his comments but I always win in the end. I just hate the comments though!

I've only read this one page so.....Lorrie - for the Norway breakfast: the platter they serve at the table is scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheesy potato casserole (OMG- so good!). There's also a buffet with fruit and danishes. I read on the food porn thread though, that if your kid prefers waffles or pancakes, they will make those for you! So don't be shy to ask for something different. I've found that Disney is very accommodating!

Ok - got my 555 pictures downloaded to photobucket. Here's my pic of the day:

These were taken our first night - it's 2am in the morning!

Hi guys. I don't know if you remember me. I was on DIS far too much before our trip. Not so much now. I get on a few times a week but not for long. I didn't read the 50ish pages I missed, but read here and there just now. I just wanted to say hi. You all have such a nice friendship. Anyway, just wanted to say hello...
 
And because I'm in a pissy mood and I want to be back in my happy place, I'll just post more pix........

This is what I call "Lauren's face of the week"; she wasn't being serious; was copying the "Miley/Taylor Swift" pose, but it cracked me up all the time!

And Kara, this is Lauren texting you from Raglan Road:

I remeber you! We are always here so stop by anytime!

Cammie...I love the pix of Lauren! I hope Elizabeth is like her when she gets all grown up like that and I don't blame you for being pissy! I would be too!!!!!

BTW I am using all your pix as my wallpaper on my phone!
 
Hi girls!!!!

9 Days to go and tomorrow 8:cool1:

So I went out and bought a new camera tonight it is a sony cyber shot and it is PINK! I am so excited I hated my kodak it was a PITA and has been to get fixed twice since October.
I finished my T shirts today and they came out terrible they looked faded and I followed the directions to the T:confused3 I will make my luggage tags tomorrow finish the laundry and pack. I can't believe we are leaving in a week.

Cammie- I am sorry the EX pissed you off already doesn't he know not to mess with you until your post disney depression wears off :sad2:. You and Lauren looked so cold I hope it warms up for us a little bit. I love the pictures Lauren is just too adorable. When are we going to get together for a drink? Give me a call sometime I am always around.

Momofthree- I remember you. How was your trip? I thought I saw you over at the Cake thread?

Debbie- we are due a bit of snow tomorrow :mad: I am sick of it and I LOVE snow.
 
You guys want to know what the ex said to me?

He had a week of nursing help him and now he wants the help on a regular basis. I told him no way - I'm on my own here; he has two adults and doesn't need the help like I do - and he takes care of Amanda by himself for only 4 days a month! He actually told me that "I'm living in a fanastyland and he needs help too! Well my head nearly exploded! Anyway, what's funny is that I maintain my stance and he doesn't challenge it - just leaves. But I'm left with dealing with what he said and it pisses me off. I need to just let it slide though- I'm getting my way regardless!

Hi MickeyMom! Believe it or not I was just thinking about you yesterday! I was wondering where you were and when your trip was! Nice to hear from you!

What a Butt! I'm sure Amanda doesn't need nearly as much care when you have her, right? :mad:

Thanks for posting the pics - looks like you had fun!

Jillian - Yeah for the new camera!!! I was looking at those, and then I wanted the Cannon Power Shot, but I ended up with getting a Pentax at Costco - (listened to my hubby and saved $50 - should have just gone with what my research said) I'm not sure I like it - seems like alot of my pictures are blurry, and its supposed to be fully automatic. I hope you like yours better!
 
Lorrie, I looked at the Askerhaus menu - I only see a couple of things that need explaining - and I wasn't real sure about those, so I looked them up!

Venison stew - might be good if enough seasoning - I'm not a venison fan
Poached cod - I don't think so - mushy fish
Kjottkake - like meat loaf - my grandma made it a few times - kind of like swedish meatballs - more gravy and no ketchup and onions.

Lingonberry - kind of like cranberries, but sweeter

Rice Cream is like cold rice pudding, only really creamy- I love it!

It looks like they have plenty of familiar items on their menu, I wouldn't worry about a few unusual ones - just give it a taste! That's what I did at Boma - not crazy about most of it, but I enjoyed the experience!:thumbsup2
 
Hi guys.* I don't know if you remember me.* I was on DIS far too much before our trip.* Not so much now.* I get on a few times a week but not for long.* I didn't read the 50ish pages I missed, but read here and there just now.* I just wanted to say hi.* You all have such a nice friendship.* Anyway, just wanted to say hello...

This is crazy - I was just drinking my coffee a few minutes ago and thinking of the people who have not been around for awhile, and you were one I thought of!* Welcome back!

Cammie - I have no words for your ex.* If it makes you feel any better (and you know this already) men are just that way in general.* Anytime they do something, it's so much more dramatic than when we do it.* But he's still a jerk!* Let me get this straight - are you alotted X number of days a month with a nurse and he wants to use a nurse every day he has her?

Jillian - yea on the camera!* We were just at HH Gregg and they had tons of good deals - Jeff got me a Fuji for Christmas a couple of years because if offers the option of going automatic OR fully manual which is what I thought I wanted at the time so that I could play with it like I used to do with my old Pentax SLR.* But it's a big camera and not good for travel.* AND the only pics that come out really good are outside on a clear day.* Indoor shots with a flash are always really grainy.* I'm thinking of getting a smaller one myself - you didn't like your Kodak?* I call them "credit card" cameras cause that's about how big they are!* They had a Kodak on sale from $179 marked down to $98!* I almost got it!*

Lorrie - I don't have the menu pulled up but when we went to Akershus for lunch last year, I got an open faced salmon sandwich of some kind and it was good.* Jeff and his parents each got the meatball thing and said it was very bland. Kottschke or something?* I remember eating here before it was a character meal and it was VERY Norwegian then.* They had the coldbordt (sp?) with pickled herring and some other weird stuff.* Jeff loved it.* Me not so much.

Cammie - love the pic of Lauren texting me!* I was seriously laughing so hard that night.* I was sitting in the parking lot of gymnastics (I usually sit in my car and read while she has her class) and laughing out loud.* People were probably driving and walking by wondering who the weirdo was in the car laughing by herself.* Every time I see an adult by themselves around kids like that I always think "pervert" so I guess I probably looked that way.

OK, I can see this computer is doing the asterisk thing again - I think it is something with not having a mouse and it does these funky things when I try to scroll around the page.
