Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

Cammie - great pix!!!! Why is it that Snow White as a character always seems to be the best? I have never been an SW fan, but I love her every time we see her at Disney, whether in a parade, a show, a character meet.

Love Amanda's nails!!! She got some spicy red goin on!

That's why we LOVE Snow White! I have a pix from later on in the week at Epcot - she plants a kiss on Amanda. So cute!

Hi ladies! The stove is great except for that one burner, which they are sending someone to fix. I baked cookies tonight! My oven has been broken for awhile - I was holding out for a new stove rather than $350 to repair.

As for cars - I've seen alot of dead Dodges on the road - one time we were in a caravan! When we traded it in on a Saturn, the mechanics were asking about this or that - yep, we'd had all of it.

My parents and grandparents owned several Fords, which were all lemons - I know some people love Fords, I'm just scared of 'em.

I love my Toyota van - lots of bells and whistles for the money, but the other two cars I loved were Olds Cutlasses - which are GM cars and Chevy had all of the same ones with a different name.

CAMMIE! Love the pics! Amanda looks scared in the pic with Bolt? I loved your matching shirts for DHS! Did Amanda get to go on TSM, and did she like it? The characters are so good to her. I'm sorry your DM has a hard time interacting with her - how hurtful for you.

I'm dog tired tonight - got up at 5:30 this am to get a shower before Mason got here - then he slept until 9am. I didn't need to be ready for Londynn until 8:30 because Mark took Myles to preschool. Oh well, I was ready for my Luncheon on time.

Myles and I are watching Disney's Dinosaur right now - I wonder if any of the dinos are on the ride at AK or in Epcot with Ellen? They look familiar.

Good Morning.

Cammie- Love the pics the girls are getting so grown up! I can't believe how much all of the kids have grown since we started talking. Love the slushie pics. I can't wait to have one or three. Your sister looks like she was having a good time. I am sorry your mom was being difficult.

Tammie- We baked cookies last night too! We also put up the tree and I realized I don't have enough ornaments

Well I am getting out of the house today I have been cooped up in here for 3 days Mike has been home. So I told him I don't care Badookie and I are going Xmas shopping.

 

[Debbie6221]

Hi Girls!
Cammie...the pictures are awesome. You got some really great shots!! I love how Lauren is posing just like Jasmine!

I am going to have to TRY and stay away today. I have too much stuff that I keep putting on the back burner!

Have a good one!!!!!

 

[Debbie6221]

OK for those of you who actually cook..
I made an east crock recipe today. Hopefully it will taste good. If it does I will share the recipe.
I have a couple questions...
What does it mean when it calls fro "prepared" mustard and now that the chili sauce and worchestire sauce are open do I have to refrigerate them? I like this recipe because you did everything all at once and then you just put it in the crock for 8 hours. None of this "do this" then "do that in 4 hours" then "add this in 2 hours" crap!

 

[Debbie6221]

Yeah baby.....

[Debbie6221]

Ok NOW I will go back to my chores...........

An oldie but a goodie...please move over Vanessa and back away from my man......

 

[karajeboo]

Debbie - Prepared mustard is "normal" mustard - not the dried mustard. And yes I would refrigerate the other items.

Sounds good - what is it????

 

[Camster0307]

Thanks for the compliments on the pix guys! I have many more to come. Also - I've started my trip report; will do the first installment later this afternoon.

And, yes Tammie, Amanda did get to ride ToyStory Mania. They have a wonderful wheelchair accessible car. (wish all of the rides had this!)

They pull the bar down with the shooters once we're ready to go. It's a special entrance; and since we get a guest assistance card for Amanda, we're allowed to enter through the FP line - our whole party. That's Lauren and my niece in the car behind us!

 

[Camster0307]

Ok NOW I will go back to my chores...........

An oldie but a goodie...please move over Vanessa and back away from my man......

Wowee-wow-wow!

Ok, now you're gonna get me started! I need to represent MY boy!

 

[karajeboo]

Debbie - my imagination is running WILD right now! May need a cold shower soon!

 

[CRdisMom]

bummer about your mom Cammie. I think all grandma's have that disorder in some way or another. I'm sorry.

Your photos look great. Can't wait to see more.

Love the fairies Kara

Debbie--i'm a bit hot under my collar.

Tammie glad to hear the stove is a little better. Appliances and car repairs drive me nuts. We have to replace the front suspension, and water pump on my 2004 chrysler minivan. That's being done next week. I hate that thing. If I knew I wouldn't get hurt I migth crash it just to be done with it. I've learned my lesson on buying low-end cars. Always get one that has some sort of badging on it. This is a basic town and country. Oh well. Tim's driving it more and more so I won't push to get rid of it. I have better things to spend money on--like windows. yuck!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

I'm suppose to be cleaning today with no internet, one phone call, here I plop, catching up on pages - If I don't you guys may foget about me!!!!

Renee- I had an interview for a company that would allow me to do customer service from home. .

Sounds Amazing! I hope it really works out for you!

I know exactly how you feel. My parents got divorced when I was 2 and my mom remarried when I was 8. My SD is the nicest guy I've ever met. He never wanted to have children but we have a great friendship. Some of his greatest memories in life are holding my children minutes after they've been born and walking me down the aisle. I wouldn't change him for my real father ever.

Yeah, mine is even more twisted. I was raised by my real dad. I have a BSM like Kara's BSIL. Lots of issues after they married my senior year. Anyhoo - only focusing on positive things now.

It's snowing here as we speak!

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!

![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I'm glad you had a great time. I'm glad your sister was of some help in plowing the way. I wish your mom would get it. I really do. That is so tough - it really is. Good for you about the pin! And good for you about not going off for her leaving her in the corner. I"d been... !!!!

So My trip is paid for and I will have that $200 gift card to spend while I am down there. I]

the picture you've all been waiting for....................Kara and I!!!!!!

Okay, I just have to say that if either of you moan to me about trying to drop weight or how much you have gained, or whatever... SERIOUSLY, I think it will be worth my plane ticket to come smack you upside your heads! You both look great! SO SHUT UP!

If it is good, do share. I make a pot roast that is so yummy...
1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup WITH ROASTED GARLIC (important)
1 package of dry lipton onion soup mix
1 can beef broth
cook on high 1 hour, low 7 hours. Remove the roast & shread. Use 2 TBSP of corn starch and 2 TBSP of water - mix well and add to juice to thicken into a gravy. Wisk for about 2 minutes. Return Shreaded Beef to it. Carlos hates Mushrooms and HATES Roast, but he loves this. I cook egg noodles with it.

Speaking of Mr. C... Well, he has accepted the new position at another bank. It is a higher position in a lower level of investments - but less hours Now, looks like they are going to enforse the 30 day no compete clause - so he may be sitting at home with me for a month, but he told me today that they'd pay him through that (I don't believe him, but whatever). If he is right, that is some extra $$ I wasn't counting on. He wants to do something fun. HUM... wonder where we could go that is fun

My BF (best friend) got us a room to get away for a girls night Sat. It will be so nice. Looking forward to that. Then I have MIL's next Thur. Want to know what I hate? 10 years of no TURKEY on Thanksgiving! They do pernil (roasted garlic pork ) rice, beans, and yucka (which is named well in my opinon!) I'm wondering if I should form a coup or just plan on a traditional dinner here on Friday or Sat again. I hate that they hog the holiday and don't "do it right". And since my MIL is disabled, I end up doing all the cooking/cleaning while my other SIL sits and watches Football. I'm glad I can help, but still. There are 5 other adults there who don't share my view nor do they tend to children.

Okay, enough of that...

Cammie - love your photos - they are always so good

 

[CRdisMom]

sorry about the no turkey thing-- what nationality is Carlos again?

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

I just wanted to say HI to you guys. We are leaving tomorrow and I have been really busy geting ready. It was fun to see your pictures of your trip. I can't wait to be on our way. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[karajeboo]

Have a great trip MickeyMomofThree! Bring back lots of pics!

Ok, y'all, I've been updating my ongoing TR or whatever you want to call it. Tons of pics!

I've been over there! I'm a good DISbuddy!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Cammie - cool that Amanda got to ride TSM! I'm glad you get a guest assistance card. We used one with Jim's uncle when his foot was hurt - makes it so nice. Especially for you trying to maneuver the chair around!

Renee - NO TURKEY! How is that Thanksgiving? Maybe you should make a small one and just say you hope they don't mind, but you brought your tradition this time.... Sorry you are the maid at dinner!

MICKEYMOM! Have a great trip - bring back pics!

Hello everyone else! I have to get up and get going - I have to take Myles to preschool today, so I need to be presentable before Mark and Lindsay leave.

 

[karajeboo]

Yes, Cammie, you are a good Disbud! And lots of CFWW buds have been there, too!

So last night I spent a lot of time cleaning the kitchen. Jeff was alone last Friday night while Ally and I were gone and he TRASHED my kitchen! He apparently exploded something in the microwave, and spilled something in the fridge. Looked like salsa all down the inside door of the fridge. He's so clueless. Pisses me off so bad - his mother ruined him by always cleaning up behind him.

I told him he's getting just like his dad - gets up from dinner and plops on the couch, no offer to help me clean up. And he still hasn't put away his clothes that he didn't wear in Disney. Seriously, if he would spend as little as 15 minutes a night helping me out, it would make a HUGE difference, but noooooo, I"m the one nagging.

OK, rant over, but we all know this rant will come back again!

I get to go to Ally's school today for yummy school cafeteria cooking. They're doing Thanksgiving for lunch today.

Wish me luck!
