[been2marceline]

Karen-you're cracking me up....like a kid in the candy store! I can tell you're tickled that you figured out how to post pictures!!! You guys look like you're having a great time! You're daughter is beautiful! Oh, and I have that very same Brighton wallet but in black (although that pink is pretty darn cute)!!!!

Good morning, Marilyn!! And good night Lisa!!!

Still up as it still seems an hour earlier to me!! I will be unhappy in the AM. (Not that it isn't the AM now!)

I almost mentioned that she was holding her xmas gift of a Brighton wallet, but I thought, oh you name dropper!! So glad your taste is SO good!!!

Yes, I have been having fun!! I even spent the last couple of hours uploading all of DD's pictures from her digital camera (another Disney Xmas gift) and have been teaching myself the editing software!! So exciting!! I will have more pictures to upload!

I should head off to bed now... Don't really want to, but 6:30 will be coming very early, especially with the time change. Bet the UL group are glad that they don't do this!! It's not our favorite thing.

Although, today was a stellar day!! 77 degrees, just gorgeous and we had an extra hour of it too!!

Have a lovely day!!!

Karen

Ok, one last picture and I'll stop for the night, er, morning!

Alex loves photography and she also wants to be a model. So she combined the two up at our Bodega house and took a couple of self portraits...

These are from her digital, the other shots were from my "film" camera!!

Talk to you tomorrow night, er morning!

Karen, I am so glad you figured out the pictures...so much fun isn't it? I have to laugh at my DD10 and DD13 as they are always taking pictures of thmeselves....hold the camera in front of them and CLICK!!

You will have to go to the PIC of the DAY (I think that is the name of the thread)..and post there. I love reading (looking at) that thread. I posted this picture there last night. Paradise Beach on Cozumel last November

 

[Mom323]

The Puppy is so cute. Pictures of puppies and kids, just make me happy inside.

 

[Mom323]

I love it! So cool! Are you surprising your husband with that?

Yep!

Boy, you guys have been chatty this weekend. MY DFIL was taken to the hospital by ambulence on Sat at 1pm (he was at a funeral of all things) and I was the only one in town to stay .... hang...with him. (he blacked out for about 10 minutes) So my kids faired pretty well on their own (17,13,10). He is here with me now...the doctor released him at 5pm tonight. They could not find anything wrong...so they adjusted his meds and off we went. He will stay till Tuesday when he will see his regular doc and then he will most likely go home. I am tired with the time change and all.....hanging out in a hospital for 30 hours is not much fun. I am so glad he is okay!!



We have a black and white cat named Angel!!



On Cozemel, we loved Paradise Beach. Here is a pic from there.

On Grand Caymen, Rum Point is one of the most beautiful places I have been in the whole world. Long ride.....but really worth it!!

Thanks for the photo's, I'd seen them on another thread and thought they're wonderful!
Glad your FIL is feeling a little better now, warm wishes to him.
Great cat's name too!

laundry is that an evil word or what? it attacks us from our couch in the living room. okay very embarssing that people see it when they stop by....fortunately my DH did mass amounts of washing, drying and even folding today. Tonight it will be line up soldier and take your clothes to your room and put them in your drawers. I think with that we (me & the kids) could try to do it now while DH is a Wlagreens on an errand...that would be a nice come home to suprise huh? Wish me luck and speed in my quest....back later....

definately an evil word......the pile just gets higher and higher....I think its like the magic porrige pot (do you know that story) it just carries on growing and refilling no matter how much you do!

 

[UKANGEL]

A few things. First

LAUNDRY - is basically the main reason why I work full-time. By doing so, we have to have a nanny and one of the nanny's jobs is to do all our laundry. I can never quit as I can't stand to do laundry. I had tricked my husband into doing it for years by keep leaving lipsticks in my pockets when doing the wash. The red on his shirts would bother him so he would say "I'll just do it myself." After a few years, he caught on.

Lisa

See, that's where I made my mistake in giving up work last month! Now I have no excuse and can't justify sending out DH's shirts to be ironed!!!!

Talk to you tomorrow night, er morning!

Beautifl photo's, Karen and beautiful daughter too! She's really photogenic!

With all these pix of our families floating around I'll have to try and dig out some of my own daughter's and do my 'proud mum' bit!

Just managed to get online after having no internet for almost 24 hours!!! Made me very stressed!!!

No, not carpel tunnel...about a week before thanksgiving all four of us were in a serious auto accident. We were tboned by a uninsured driver (on a suspended license). She turned left on a green light, erroneously thinking she had a green arrow (we were heading straight) and slammed right into us without even braking. The windows and doors were crashed in and her pickup came to a stop literally inches from Ryan and Mark's heads/faces (Mark was driving and Ryan was the left passenger). Anyway, amongst all our injuries, Mark's was the most involved...he broke his wrist on the steering wheel and he required surgery to put a screw in to attach the two broken bones. It's been a huge ordeal. That's his third cast and it's removable. The first two were not. Hopefully at the end of the month he'll have it off completely. He had his surgery on Jan 5th, so it's been a long, long nightmare. Of course, she went to jail and basically since she has zero money, she's off the hook in terms of her responsibility to us. Garnishing her wages costs a ton of money, not really worth it. It's behind us now, I can't waste my energy on becoming bitter about the situation when I have a wonderful cruise to dream about....

Sounded very nasty. Hoping everything soon at an end!

PC or Mac does not matter for this.

First you have to find a photo hosting site. The DIS has one here,

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/index.php

You use your same user name and password, and photos must be sized to a certain size before posting (uploading).

Many people here also use photobucket :

www.photobucket.com

Once you have your photo(s) uploaded, it is fairly simple. Right click on the photo wherever it is hosted, and select "copy image address". Then when you are posting here, and are ready to insert your photo, bracket it (put it in between) these two commands . . .

and paste the link you copied when you right clicked where you see the "and" here.

That should do it for you!

John,

OK, I'm going to give it a try!!

[

It works!!!! Photo bucket actually has the IMG address beneath the picture and you just copy it instead of right clicking!!

This is us, Karen, Alexandra and Ted at the Prime Time Cafe in WDW this past December!!

Thanks John!!!![/QUOTE]

What great pictures. Lovely to see what you all look like and what a gorgeous daughter!!

Good morning, Marilyn!! And good night Lisa!!!

Sorry I wasn't here to reply this morning Karen. Just got back online!!

 

[UKANGEL]

Afternoon Maz How scary not to have internet access for 24 hours.....mind you, I might actually get some housework done then!

 

[granmaz]

Lol Mandy, it would take more that the internet to go to get me doing more housekeeping!!! I did get up and about earlier this morning though.

I'm off to Lanzarote for 2 weeks in April and it will be so hard missing everything then.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Lol Mandy, it would take more that the internet to go to get me doing more housekeeping!!!

Same here....there's always television and BOOKS to distract you too!


Good morning fellow thieves! Well, since the Los Angeles folks 'sprang forward' to meet my non-daylight savings Phoenix time, I get to go into work a half hour earlier. BUT, I get to go home a half hour earlier too. Although, it puts me in the heart of rush hour traffic, so I don't feel like I'm getting a deal here. I really prefer the 'extra' time in the morning. Well, can always DIS at the end of the work day and give the traffic a chance to thin out.

BTW, keep those pictures coming. More kids! More puppies! No more banana slugs (I actually WAS eating at my desk when those showed up!)

 

[granmaz]

Ok, here are 6 of our 7 grandchildren. One more is due in September! This was taken last August at our son's wedding.

What a beautiful family.


I am paying for the time change this morning. Grumpy mom and kids.
It was so warm here last night I had a hard time sleeping.

 

[granmaz]

I'm not good when it is warm at night. We don't have Aircon over here, so have to have a fan in the bedroom in summer, and we also have a light summer quilt. It will be great when we get to that time of year though - usually June for us!!!

 

[nskjerven]

good (grumble) morning...yes I know you are all wondering why I'm up so early...9am is normal for me...DH got a migraine and the blehs from the bathroom were my que that I had to get up and do the kids to school today. Amazingly, he had their table set for breakfast and sandwhich & soup allready for lunches, just had to bag the stuff and add the waters and fruit. Note to self, be nicer to DH, and craby less...see it bit me in the hinnie within a 24 hour scope.

Well, off to get them to school, then back to bed for a while....

Karen, loved the pics so glad you got that posting thing down & your parties sound like mine with the added exception of "offsite no clean up" I have to manage getting that added to mine then I'll be picture perfect happy.

Love those grandkids... the 4 beauties and their handsome borthers/cousins. Look out in a few short years it will be the dating frenzy with beautiful people in the UK

Off to school.... then bed

 

[lillygator]

I am not liking this time change right now...maybe tonight when we can be outside for a bit later.....

laundry - it is a never ending battle at my house, especially since I am the only one doing it. I am going to start weeding out clothes that no one wears anymore and donate it. There is a 6 drawer chest in our bedroom that has all DH's various t-shirts....that are never worn. Ones that are special to him I am going to try and find someone to make me a t-shirt quilt.

KNow what you mean Maz I have had a frenzied 90 minutes though cleaning the ground floor really well so now I am feeling justified in having a break!

We're off at the end of April for 2 weeks too and will really miss our 'chats' then....mind you, we shall be cruising so its a good swap!

Same here....there's always television and BOOKS to distract you too!

BTW, keep those pictures coming. More kids! More puppies! No more banana slugs (I actually WAS eating at my desk when those showed up!)

ok....well my 'kiddie' photo is on its way...........don't say I didn't warn you....no slugs tho!

 

[UKANGEL]

My the way Maz....you're grandchildren look like little angels!

 

[UKANGEL]

Hope this works!


This is my 'little angel' Well, she was once anyway! Becky, aged 18
It's about the only one I could find with her natural hair colour!

 

[UKANGEL]

.....please ignore that flipping messy bedroom behind her though!!!!
