Metro New Orleans DISers - check in!!! - 03/2009

[kmores]

so hey we (me, Terry and Piglet) are planning to go to see HP3 and maybe do some pottery painting on Sat 7/25. prob the movie in the earliest AM to get cheapest prices...then pottery painting. so anyone wants to come just PM me and i'll start a thread...

it is so hard to get all of us together, but I think we should just plan something once a month or whenever - the more things we plan, the more chances we have to get to see each other! we had a great time just hanging the other day, even though we missed you who weren't there

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Sheryl, I sent you a PM on FB. I'll be praying for you tomorrow.
Kathy, you're going to update us, right?

for Kathy's house!
for Lori's house!

Good news...I called up NYC today, got a REAL PERSON who answered the phone and found out I can FAX the papers to NYC! I am thinking about taking a little trip up in April or next summer, but I didn't want to go this summer. Like....I JUST LEFT....TWO WEEKS AGO TODAY!

Hey y'all! <<<still holding out on not saying that yet... Anyone wanna take bets how long that will last?

Same ol', same ol' over here. I'm still tired, DS is still eating round the clock, DD is still having potty accidents galore .

Bethany- Since you've gotten to see almost everyone on your own, I'll have to kidnap you and drag you to my side of town soon... you'll get to see my life in the ghetto! (sorry, facebook joke...)

I'm busy potty training Anabelle so I sort of feel your pain...

And really, you can skip the kidnapping part....I will go willingly over there... And facebook joke? Did you take the ghetto quiz? I scored "you live there!" but I didn't publish that.

And you're not the only one I haven't seen yet....

Sheryl - thoughts and prayers for you over the next few days that the surgery and recovery go well.

Kathy - Congrats on the house. I'm sending prayers and good wishes that it works out.

Well then...how does Sunday afternoon (the 26th) sound for everyone?

 

[Terry36]

Bethany I have PM'd you the name and its open Sunday's from 1-5. Maybe we can meet when it opens.

 

[shovan]

Hey Y'all,

Kathy, Yeah! Big prayers that works out!!

Lauri (zipuzee) Thanks so much! I appreciate it more than you know!

Lorie, Angelina didn't get gored but her DH Josh really got it!

Bethany, Thank you my friend! I'll go check out FB after I finish here.

I'll miss y'all for the time I won't feel up to checking in.

Kat, Bob will call you tomorrow morning. They are supposed to keep me overnight tomorrow & hopefully I'll come home Thursday.

Sheryl I will keep you in my prayers.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Sheryl, this is for you

 

[portocall]

Horray to Bethany for not having to go to NYC!

Sheryl, you are in my prayers

I am good for Sunday and pottery... especially if it means Jamie gets to come!

WooHoo Kat!

Not much to report, Sean is going out of town for the rest of the week and I am going to see Thomas Live in the morning. I hope that Spencer enjoys himself as he is a Thomas freak... everything in his world is related to Thomas the Tank Engine in some form or fashion.

 

[Terry36]

Are we bringing our kids? I know Dd will want to come.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Maybe?

 

[Terry36]

DD who is now 10.5 had her 9th party there so she will have a blast.

 

[portocall]

I think that kids are fine. I don't think I am gonna bring mine this time, only because the three of them would not leave me anytime to chat and I can't pick between them for an activity as cool as this!

 

[TigerKat]

Good morning NOLA!

Sheryl - Praying for a successful, quick surgery & recovery.

I will update y'all when I hear from Bob.

 

[cajunmommy]

Good morning everyone.

Sorry I couldn't get by here sooner to wish Sheryl luck on her surgeries today. She should be done soon, right? Hope it's a quick, uncomplicated recovery!

Kathy- Fingers & toes are crossed for you with M&D's house! Are y'all still planning to go through with prepping it for rental, or does this friend's offer sound really earnest?

So, who braved the crowds for HP-HBP at midnight? I had no idea it was starting this morning! I can't wait to enjoy this one with my boys, but we'll probably give it a week or so to let the crowds calm down at the theaters.

 

[FloraFauna]

Sheryl, you are in my prayers today

Kat, great news!!

Maybe we can do one of our meets at Venezia or Brocato's. Those are right in Lorie's neighborhood. And Lorie, my son goes to school around the corner from you, so I guess he is ghetto schooled

Speaking of DS: he went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter. He loved it!

 

[Ms Marigny]

Good morning!

Sheryl- Sending you good thoughts and prayers today.

And you're not the only one I haven't seen yet....

That's great news! I can't imagine you'd want to head back to NYC so soon.

At least Anabelle can't argue back with you and give you outrageous reasons why she can't use the potty. She'll probably be trained faster than Sienna will!

Oh yeah, DH and I both took the ghetto quiz and got "You live there!" . We had a good laugh over it. Our neighborhood IS sort of ghetto-ish...sort of "ghetto-lite".

 

[TigerKat]

Just spoke with Bob, Sheryl's doing great! She's in her room eating ice chips. Bob said to thank everyone for their prayers and support.

Thanks for the update on Sheryl, Kathy. Glad to hear she is doing well.
Kathy- I am soooo hoping the house thing works out- ya'll have had it on your shoulders for so long.

We have about 4 guys over doing work to our home, like fixing the attic door and fixing the sheetrock from the time we thought we had busted pipes and it wasn't-but the sheetrock was busted into to check for it. It was in the garage and didn't bother us, but we're trying to make it all shiny and pretty! They are also re-painting the trim work in the den and hall. I got through all my craft/school stuff yesterday and next is getting some garage stuff into storage THEN getting to the stinky freezer.

The guys being over gave me a good excuse to hang out in my room and do DISNEY trip planning and pulling out stuff the kids will want for the trip they are not going on(LOL)- it has been fun listening to them talk about how WE are going on vacation without them(we told them we were going to the Keys by ourselves). It will be a last minute packing trip as I will be packing them "for granny b's". I simply cannot wait to see thier faces when we get to the airport! I am still thinking it through, but I THINK we are gonna get out the car, get all the bags, then hand them the goodie bags I made up for them (with thier pin lanyards, Tinker Bell pen on a lanyard, notebooks, candy, and hair thingys I collected for them for this trip)...........not sure HOW we are going to tell them they need to get out and come on the plane with us yet. Ideas welcome!

I so WISH I could come to the pottery place with you so I could make a NOLA themed something for our future house in Houston-but I do beleive I am working that weekend. But hey, somebody has to pay for WDW!
