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

Happy Late Birthday Lauren


Sorry I wasn't on earlier - I missed your day!

Okay, I have to be sure to read what I wrote - at least you know I was thinking about you, Cammie! I knew it was Lauren's BDay, I have no idea why I did that, and then no time to check back, except for last night, when I took some Theraflu, so no posting for cross-eyed me!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Debbie - took you up on the email

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We have our first game tomorrow and I've got to plan out (STILL) the party for next weekend. I have ordered the cake at least! Mia's favorite food is spagetti - so there you go!

We did come to a decision about the dining plan. Carlos really REALLY wants to do the deluxe - so I'm letting him have this battle. There really honestly is very limited difference between the two once I factored tax & drinks in - like $24! So I can see his point - $24 for three mugs, appetizers at TS plus 21 extra snack credits. He vetoed breakfast in the room - which made it make more sense. Said it is vacation - and he wants breakfast. He doesn't eat breakfast - just apple & coffee during the week.

We're having a date night AGAIN - don't know what to do with myself. 1 1/2 hours with no kids

I might have me two drinks tonight.

It may be Monday before I get to catch up - as long as Carlos is willing to watch the kids - I'll be cleaning all I can for next week.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!!

Yeah for the Deluxe! I would do it too, for only $24!

Oh, I hope you're wearing a skirt for your date!

Hey there. I'm old. I decided that as we were leaving the bar at 11 pm last night. It was a fundraiser for the victims of the 35w bridge collapse scholarship fund. Long title. Great music but my ears hurt because it was too loud. LOL. I think we are coming down with something too. No one as re to move today.

Hope kara is having fun. Btw is jillian sending emails?

Laura, I know. All of a sudden you figure out you're "not cool" anymore. It stinks But sometimes it's really liberating - like "I'll do what I want, cuz I don't really care what you think!" "TAWANDA!" (Did anyone see Fried Green Tomatoes?)

Hi all
So sorry i have been MIA this week has been crazy .. Amongst all normal craziness we also had a fashion show at Chloe's school, then to the theatre to see Giselle, Brass festival in which chloe's group won the gold trophy and now am in middle of trying to get her ready to go away for the weekend with the guides until sunday when i have to pick her up for my brothers engagement party .... AND BREATHE

Whew, sit down Erin! Good for Chloe's trophy! Hope you have a great weekend, and get everything accomplished without too much stress!

Debbie, I'm so afraid of getting hopelessly caught up in those FB games, and I just don't have time right now. I'll be able to play this Fall when I'm out of state with Jim for 2 months.

 

[DizzyErin]

Erin - wow! that is a crazy week! Congrats to CJ!!! Just keep in mind things will get back to normal soon!

Hi Erin! I hear you too! All days seem crazy lately!

Whew, sit down Erin! Good for Chloe's trophy! Hope you have a great weekend, and get everything accomplished without too much stress!

Thanks all .. Sunday has arrived and am just getting ready to go pick her up, man i have really missed her, 1 night i can just about cope with anymore than that and i feel like a part of me is missing hahaha (she's only been gone 2 nights) yes i know drama queen
Anyway off to pick her up then off to my brother's engagement party, unfortunately the crazy hasn't stopped yet, we still have tomorrow to go too she has a party half hour after school which takes 10 mins to get too so that will be interesting, plus she will be shattered after this weekend because i am sure they have barely slept

Anyway Hi to all .. Hope you guys at WDW are having the most amazing time
Cammie hope Lauren had a great b'day

Everyone else hope you are all ok

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I can hear crickets chirping..... really quiet without Jillian and Kara here!

I hope you gals are having a great time - can't wait to hear about your meet!

I'm just checking in - have to do the taxes today, so I can start packing I ordered something called "neat receipt" so this year I can put my receipts in there and it will integrate into a program for me - maybe taxes will be easier next year! I am a "piler". I just keep piling the receipts into a bin, and wallets, and drawers, and purse pockets Then I dig them all out, Jim sorts them, and I add them up by hand. Really stupid

Oh, the reason I'm writing - we got the Disney Files magazine for DVC, and it is chock full of news - I wanted to share with my buds.

1. Johnny Depp IS going to be in a 4th pirates movie, also plays the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, and Tonto in The Lone Ranger
2. They are making a 3rd Nat'l Treasure
3. Cars 2 will come out 2011 - same time as the Cars Land at DL
4. They are moving forward on a DVC in Hawaii - artists renderings in the magazine look alot like the Poly! I can't wait to go there! I really hope we can buy points there when they go on sale!
5. I don't know what this is, but it says, "are you 23?" You can go to www.disney.com/23 and put in your email. It will send you a message on March 10th There is an appearance by Tinkerbell when the screen first comes up, and then nothing but a countdown calendar.

Have a great Sunday, everyone! Erin, I knows yours is about over - hope the party went well!

 

[Camster0307]

Hi girls! Family just left; they were here for 24hrs. - felt longer though! Had fun but my 2yr.old nephew had us all up VERY early this morning!

Now I'm off the clean up.

It figures they'd come out with a CARS 2 in a couple years - he'd probably not be into it. I just saw National Treasure not to long ago. I can't wait to catch 2 on! It was a cool movie! I think that Jillian has had trouble using her new phone to send out updates - but I THINK they were going to be texts - I don't know though. I'm so NOT in the know.

Hi Erin!

Hi Cammie - cleaning is always so fun when they are out of your house! I get mine next weekend.

Well, guess who bought the 30 day Jump Start (biggest loser plan book). I'm convienced this book might kill me - but I bet think I'll give it 30 days. Did I mention, I think I will die - no seriously - die!

Uh - off to develope my 7 day death plan.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Oh - and you guys wanna know what? I had TWO drinks at dinner the other night. Woke up with a headache.

 

[Debbie6221]

The weather is gloomy and rainy today but I decided to "go for it" and bring Elizabeth to the parade that started at her school. It was the NW side of Chicago St Pats parade! We had fun! My daughter is a lot like me and a lot different but when it comes to taking off to run and catch a parade in the rain...she's like me!

Thanks for all the info...I did know some of it. Thanks for posting it!
I am a piler as well...
I would love to go to a Disney themed place in Hawaii! When you go to these Disney Adventure places do they have a strong Disney presence?

Oh - and you guys wanna know what? I had TWO drinks at dinner the other night. Woke up with a headache.

The funny thing is I am the same way ACCEPT when I drink that X Rated Fusion! Maybe because it is an expensive French vodka in it. Lorrie...you are going to have to start conditioning yourself with me!
Erin...glad Cloe is back!

I miss Jillian and Kara and am VERY jealous they were together! It's like Kara has a collection of us now!
Cammie....no cleaning! Save it until tomorrow or something. Be lazy like me!

 

[CRdisMom]

i've my lazy stride today. I'm on-line grocery shoppong. Got a couponn for $25 off $100 order. Love those! Take it easy Cammie- family will wear you out.

Good for you Debbie! I love parades.

Lorrie- Sorry you're on your death plan Good luck!

Hi Erin, and everyone else!

 

[Debbie6221]

Laura....I now see you have a coupon!

Debbie, glad the parade was fun! I don't think the Adventures by Disney has a Disney presence - unless you're doing the Hollywood/Disneyland one. From the pics in the magazine, it looks like they will have Lilo and Stitch, and Mickey and Minnie at the Hawaii DVC!

[MAGICFOR2]

I spent all day from 10am until 9pm doing my taxes - getting receipts together and doing the TurboTax. TurboTax is the bomb! I'm looking forward to having my books in the computer next year - it will be easy peasy - All of my time was spent gathering and adding. Once I had the info, it went really fast!

AND we're getting a nice refund! I didn't think we would this year, even though we paid alot in- I cashed in my retirement and paid off some things - everyone needs a home based business!

 

[karajeboo]

I'm back and I'm battered and beaten up right now. Threw my back out on EE, my upper back, making it miserable for me to sleep last night...... My knee feels like someone removed it and screwed it on backwards, think that's just from the walking, so I've determined that I am getting OLD!!!!!!

Had a great time - got a FREE upgrade from ASMo to CSR preferred room!!!. Got to try some new things, and some old faves, so I'll be back later.

Did I mention I'm sore sore sore!!!! Oh, and I met Jillian, Mike, Tabitha and of course..... drum roll please..... BADOOKIE and YES, he's even cuter in person!!! Sorry, Laura, Debbie, and Cammie, but Badookie is my new favorite dismeet!!! OK, he didn't have much to add the the conversation, so maybe he can't be my absolute favorite, but he's definitely my cutest dismeet cause he's the only one who plays peekaboo with me! Well, except for Cammie that one time, but that was just creepy.....

You liked him the best because he let you do all the talking!
(I'm sure his cuteness had nothing to do with it! - thanks for the pic!)

Geez Kara - I'm a little concerned about our trip in May now! Are we going to have to rent you a scooter? And, it's decided - I WILL NOT ride EE!!!

So yesterday - 62 degrees; today - SNOWING!!!!! Lauren had shorts on yesterday; this so crazy!!!

 

[CRdisMom]

Old? That's a bummer. I'm offended. Upseated by a 2 yr old. Too cute. Can't wait to see the pics.

Off to a funeral for a grandpa of one of Beths favorite classmates. He attempted suidicde by slitting his throat 6 weeks ago. He recovered but took a sauna on thurs night and didn't come back in. Not looking forward to the funeral. Beth really likes this boy and she has known him since pre-school. Not a fun day.

Can't wait to see more photos.

Btw southwest is now flying out of mpls. I'm hoping they keep rates low.

 

[karajeboo]

It's like Kara has a collection of us now!

OK, this IS creepy!!! Jeff and Mike rolled their eyes in unison while Jillian and I were gabbing. And when Mike took our pic, instead of the usual, "say cheese!" he said "say creepy!" They are great!!! Loved Jillian, Mike, Tabitha, and did I mention yet how adorable Badookie is????

You liked him the best because he let you do all the talking!
(I'm sure his cuteness had nothing to do with it! - thanks for the pic!)

Yes, I'm sure that had a lot to do with it!!! Wait, ME? Talk? Nah!!!!

Geez Kara - I'm a little concerned about our trip in May now! Are we going to have to rent you a scooter? And, it's decided - I WILL NOT ride EE!!!

Let me just say, Ally wore us out this weekend! She made me ride Mission Space - INTENSE version! I hated every minute of it, but this 7 year old would not let up! There was no way I was getting out of it. Then we go to HS and she insists on RnR too! Jeff just stood back and laughed. Of course, we got the last laugh when she made him ride Dino - and I've got the pics to prove it!!!! He was screamin like a little girl on that one!!!

All in all, fun weekend. I've started a new TR already - link in my siggie. Off to upload pics now!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Hey guys - just checking in to say hi.

I'm so freaking I don't know even what to call it I could scream!

Even after the prednasone stopped, I continued to gain weight. Yeah - 10 lbs. I'm so ticked about that. Today I have a miserable headache.

Don't know I'll be able to follow the Jump Start program. It is quite expensive to buy all that stuff. I got just part of it and my tab was $300! And that was for one week. I think I'll just drag out my WW stuff and keep with the bread/cereal, etc they recommend, but some of the other stuff I just can't do it.

I need to drop the weight though - but WW isn't that expensive to do at home by yourself. I already have the stuff - and I'll not have extra groceries to buy etc. I lost on average 4.2 lbs a week so - I know it works. I think I will do that rather than get a second job to support my diet habit!

I have such a headache today too. The house is still trashed. Inlaws and Outlaws will be here Sat night. I moved it up - figured i could fix me a stiff drink then if I needed it! I ordered the cake - Mia's fav meal is spagetti - so that is easys. It should be super easy - just need to get all the cleaning stuff done.

Time change is kicking my butt. We're all dealing with allergies - but mine are like 10% of what I"m use to, so I'd say the meds are working!

I'll catch up more later when I'm not in such a foul mood.

 

[Camster0307]

Hey girlies! How was everybody's day?

Lorrie - hope you're feeling better.

So yesterday it was gorgeous; all the snow melted and I actually had the windows open!

Woke up this morning to sleet which quickly turned to snow by 8am. Let's just say - I can no longer see my lawn!

 

[CRdisMom]

hi there. Just learned we're going to get more snow. My yard was 80% clear. Oh well. Love the trip reports. Need to plan something. I'm getting an itch for some sort of trip.
