Happy St Patty's Day everyone!!

The Gators won!! Whooo hooo....we were up late celebrating....so it looks as though leprechans got in to mischief. I am waiting on my bed to get here...the delivery window is 9:45-11:45, at least it isn't all day like the cable companies.
We are going out to dinner tonight with my dad and his girlfriend. He is racing in a triathalon tomorrow....fun stuff. It's actullay cool enough to open the windows here....gorgeous day.

Oh, before I forget. Regarding the Dec meet at WDW. I believe it is Mousefest weekend there so resorts may be a little busier, and also last year MGM was closed to the public on the Friday evening for the Pop Warner bash. I imagine Pop Warner will be that week again.

Hi, I'm John. My wife is Granmaz (Marilyn). Thought I would join so I could talk to here occasionally!!! and see what she gets up to!!!! (Joke). I cannot remember names, so thought it would be good to start trying to remember some soon as it will be good to meet you many of you.

Hi and WELCOME John. Nice to have another male on the board. Being on the baord does make it much easier to keep track of the wife. ( Maybe she is the one keeping track of me!!)

Anyway welcome and remember that this board works two ways.

It's here!!! Yeah! They got here at 10:05 and were bam, it was all complete 5 minutes later!
Now all I want to do is take a nap....~!

Deb,
I PM'd you - we are stuck in the snow.....I heard you guys had 12 inches of snow.....I sent you more dates to meet up, hopefully in May.

 

[HollyTyler]

Where's my mom hat? I need the mom hat!!

It's really OK! Remember, after all those years without, I could have gone nuts, but there's only one!

Besides, I'm pretty sure you're too young to be my mom.

 

[HollyTyler]

We should find out what each other does for a living....we know Karen sell Wine....

I design and sell office furniture to very large office buildings. My DH, who will not be traveling with me, is a minister!!

I'm a legal secretary/assistant and future lawyer (should graduate law school in 2 more years).

Welcome John!

Oh No! the BORG got Mickey!!!

OK,,,that was WAY too much to catch up on! Good thing I popped on TiggersPal's computer yesterday evening and read a few pages then!

Regarding MVMCP: We'll be there the night of 12/4/07. Perhaps we'll need to schedule a couple of different meets for the first week of December as some of us will be passing each other getting on and off the ships while otheres are coming and going on their WDW adventures.

Jobs you would LIKE to have: well, I always wanted to be a ballerina! Here's my most recent attempt ...I can't believe I'm posting this as I look a tad CRAZED in this photo. This was taken at Disneyland when I was IN the parade:


oh for heaven's sake....DIS won't let me edit in a picture.....OK new post coming

 

[HollyTyler]

I am an accountant and DH is a manager of a grocery store.....
DH would love to be a botanist and I would love to be:
a face character at Disney
party planner
professional wine taster
OPI nail polish namer
seamstress for the Chippendales
MLB, NFL & NHL's official uniform sizer

among a multitude of other things....

Too funny! Or how about being a masseuse for them?! That would be VERY nice!

 

[ibouncetoo]

At least they gave me a tutu to match my Tigger shirt!

Retail, I love working in retail and really I am pretty good at it...I had a small stint at Publix, my task was to dress up and sell fruit cakes. I sold my whole table in an hour, the bakery people did not know what to do...but that was back in my hotness days. Now I would have to offer a free shot or something!! But retail hours are a killer....

Vanessa, you are just so cute! DrHug would buy all your fruitcakes, I bet! And he does not even like fruitcake!

 

[HollyTyler]

Working at a law firm is actually a very good idea. We have a lot of lawyers in my family, so I had a good idea of what I was getting into, but it's a good experience to try it out before law school. I worked in a law firm during my last two years of law school, so I was able to graduate with a lot of experience (which is a lot more valuable IMHO than what you learn in school alone).

I finally had some dinner (leftover broccoli combined with leftover buttered egg-noodles). Not gourmet, but it worked. I could still go for a bellini though!

The law clerk at our firm (waiting for her bar exam results) is always asking me questions about how to do something and has commented many times how she wishes she had the experience I'm getting because I'll be a step ahead of others. From what I see on a daily basis, I can definitely see how my job there will help me in the future.

 

[MrsMork]

Now I HATE fruitcake . . . but V is being modest here. V could sell me a fruitcake. Today, tomorrow, or next year.

Yes, you are very like DrHug!

On the techie front, I just special ordered this in a 2 gb, I am a disney geek, lol.

Oh my gosh! I want one too! With Mickey on it, I'm sure I wouldn't lose that one, like I lost my plain gray one last year. Had lots of pictures on it, all my class notes and outlines, AND my 15 page research paper for my Legal Research & Writing class which was due THE FOLLOWING DAY! So needless to say, I learned a very important lesson about storing things in more than one location. Had to stay up all night trying to reproduce that paper. Fortunately, I didn't have to do all the research again, still had printouts of all of that. I just hadn't printed out my paper yet.

And I say again: "I swear I'm not blonde!" Sorry, don't mean to offend anybody.

 

[HollyTyler]

What's a hokie?

Carolyn

Dunno, but it sounds pretty "hokie" to me!

Not, not, NOT laughing AT you, but this made me laugh! Sounds like a playground taunt!

Carolyn

My thoughts exactly!

 

[fourmcds]

Now I remember what I was going to say...

Several people were talking about the MVMCP and if the dates had been announced. They have!!

We will be there up till about November 25th, so we will enjoy it again as well!

This is another menu at our home, only it would be dried cranberries. DH loves Craisins.

Had Craisns as a snack before bed.

 

[HollyTyler]

So I get caught up, and everyone seems to be gone . . .

Oh well.

Guess I will wish Good Morning to the UK !

Sophia went to bed wondering if Leprechauns will visit the house tonight because of St Patrick's day. Amy will make some mischief tonight!

That's so cute! I can't wait to hear what mischief those little Leprechauns (aka Amy) do!

NOW I still have a bunch more pages to catch up on. Holy guacamole! I go to sleep for 14 hours, after literally falling asleep trying to get caught up last night, and wake up to 12 more pages! Gee, I love you guys more and more every day!
