My parents are now upgrading their CAT 6 (that was adjoining with us) to a CAT 4 room (with slim hopes of getting a CAT 3 at the port).
Okay, so what in the world have I been missing out on?!?! What is that yummy-looking thing? Just a daquiri or something "more?"In a little over 5 Weeks some of us will be sitting back, relaxing and sipping on one of these.....
Whose in???????
With Easter here and absolutely NO willpower over Reese's PB eggs, I know I'm going to end up where I don't want to be.Now how am I supposed to lose 50 pounds in 5 weeks?
I sent Justin to the store the other day to help out the Easter Bunny by getting some specific candy that the boys saw in the Walmart ad, but I BEGGED him to not go overboard. Well, even though he called me from the store and I again said not too much, he still comes home with like $35+ in JUST CANDY!!!! 
He said the customer service gals just laughed at him yesterday when he was returning most of it "because my wife says I got a little out of control." (They agreed...) I'll be bringing black & brown sandals (similar to that pic) to wear during the day and when I wear capris at night and then my strappy dress shoes for slacks & dresses. Then I'll need my exercise shoes, too, for all those early morning DIS walks!!do we really have to dress up that much for brunch? Was hoping to wear capris. (can you tell -- I love to wear capris). I wish I could get by on a single pair of sandals but I will most likely have several. I will wear them all the time but will need brown, black and something dressy for the "dress up" nights.
DITTO!!
I updated the info on #2! I LOVE it when I have to return stuff!! It makes me realize that I don't need to spend if I really don't have to (LIKE THE CANDY!!). My return pile is pretty big right now, so I should get that taken care of!!I have a lot of returnsso maybe I will return as much as I spend? It is a nice thought.
We are inviting all our family and neighbors over for a seafood fry/BBQ on Saturday and I have to do most of the cooking.Please send some pixie dust my way as I have no idea what I am doing! I don't really cook all that great so let's hope I don't poison my in-laws.
for you! Hope it all goes well!! We LOVE doing that sort of thing. During the summer, we usually have at least one HUGE gathering per month. The end of May (or early June this year) is our annual poker run that ends @ our house with the BBQ pork butt that is Justin's specialty. Then either late June or early July is our annual Food & Fireworks party with the same yummy BBQ pork butt and more fireworks than you've ever imagined. We always come up with some other excuse to have at least 1 or 2 others later in the summer, too...birthdays and whatnot. Belinda, we'd love to have you & Shawn join our poker run with your Harley!! Oklahoma is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from us! BUT the poker run isn't just for motorcycles either! Anyone who wants to come is invited!! 
Sounds like what we had earlier this week and last week. I think the wind blew a constant 30+ mph for an entire week!! Wind makes me crabby.
and also taking my monthy HUGE trip to Walmart. I'm never looking forward to that. 
) but somehow can't work on them anymore today. Just charitable and mileage for the business left and we will be done!
It certainly wasn't candy like Justin (that was too funny Val!) but just not quite sure where the $$ went...... I know they linked up your Mom too, at least she said she Reminded me to pack where the kids do NOT get into the suitcases!!!!
of course....that won't help me lose weight over the next 5 weeks......but........ummmmmm......
Mustangs are (By Far) My favorite cars! From 1964 1/2 all the way to the brand new 2010! The weather is just getting warm enough to drive it, its staying around 3-10 degrees C. 
HAPPY EASTER TO MY DIS PEEPS!!
(the closest I could find to a springtime theme).This is the first year that I didn't do baskets (didn't even color eggs either). Everyone got to pick out one treat. It's going to be a really quiet day here (and actually I'm really looking forward to it). We'll probably take a nice long walk.With Easter here and absolutely NO willpower over Reese's PB eggs, I know I'm going to end up where I don't want to be.
For someone who doesn't like to shop, you did pretty well for your Easter stuff. Congratulations, you are almost finished with your taxes!!Hi Everyone!
It is a gloooomy day here in Austin. They are expecting thunderstorms for Easter (what a bummer).
I am so jealous of V going to pool today. That would have been a much better way to spend the day. Instead, we wished MIL (and her DH) well as the left home to go back to Switzerland. I took the kids to swim lessons and worked on taxes. I can't wait to finish the taxes (then I get to focus 100% on the cruise
Let's see -- yesterday spent the day shopping but didn't really get much. Belinda, I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE to shop but oddly enough, can't get into it lately. Hopefully I can get my "shopping gene" reactivated so I can start looking for things we need for the cruise!!!
I got beach towels for both kids (Wall-E and Daisy). Flip flops & sunglasses for each (thanks for the idea Jane). The Disney store had them for $8 for BOTH!!!! I got both a pair of PJs (Sabrina needed something Disney for the Goofy Slumber party!). They also got a webkinz each and candy. I got Kai a new Leapster game and Sabrina a new DS game. Now -- does the Easter Bunny always deliver "wrapped" baskets or will it be odd for the baskets to arrive this year without the cellophane & ribbons? I really dont want to go back to the store and forgot to buy the cellophane!
I also bought some disposable cameras from Target (on clearance) BUT am going to wait until the cruise to give them to the kids. I spent a small fortune at Target but for the life of me, can't figure out what?!?
Also -- everyone, did you read the funniest stories about the boys who unpacked their underwear? TOOOO FUNNY!!!
Ok, feeling a blah with this weather. Maybe I should open a bottle of bubbly?
Alright -- of to go do something else. My shoulder & neck are killing me from working on the laptop doing taxes.
Have a good Easter Saturday everyone!!!!
HAPPY EASTER Everyone!!! ***Don't tell her but I think the easter bunny brought her some peanut butter and chocolate to our house too! I'll save it for the cruise...but shhhhhh, wouldn't want her to find out***
-- have a great day everyone!
