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

[lori1043]

Oh, Lori...stop beating yourself up!

I suppose you could do recruitment for the DIS during your party for your Disney newbie friends!


Lorie...how'd the family get together go?

So my mom calls me today to wish me a Happy Easter, then proceeds to tell me that my grandmother is mad at me for not giving her my new address. WHAT new address. I do not HAVE a new address.

Now, my OTHER grandmother DOES have a new address, but she did NOT move. They went through her neighborhood and re-numbered everything. What a pain in the behind. She DID tell us that we did not have to use the +four part of the ZIP+four, because nobody over there uses the +four part. I don't have the heart to tell her that nobody anywhere uses the +four part.

Can't wait to see some of you tomorrow!

OK!!

Thank you, you see, BIG hearts!

Anyway, I would maybe do that... invite friends here.... but this is sorta my secret place... something other don't really know about. BUT I talk a good bit about "a Disney board I frequent" often. I HAVE shared this with my cousin, who loves Disney and just bought DVC. But she hasn't come by.
So, Maybe , tomorrow, I will mention it to them... depending on who shows up. Hey, I can be picky about friends who come to my secret place, right??

I like each person coming over tomorrow night, but, well, you know..... I LIKE having my own "spot" with you gals!

Just Paul and my kids and maybe ONE other of my friends know about you!!

You are my WDW away from WDW.

I hope you've all had a wonderful Easter weekend. I haven't been on the computer in two days so I have plenty of reading back to do.

Yesterday we went to my mom's for our traditional Easter food. BBQ chicken, baked potatoes, baked macaroni, salad and baked beans. The food was delicious but just being with family was even better.

Oh and I got some great news yesterday. When we go to Disney in May my niece is getting engaged (which she doesn't know about) and my mom and dad will come with us for a few days so they can be there for the big event.

Enjoy your day my NOLA friends.

Ohhhh....I am SO with you on that one! I don't tell anybody at work about this place, of course they are not particularly friends and I vent about them too much. Although, it is a weebit suspicious about how I know so many people in New Orleans. People kinda scratch their heads. They can just stay confused. Shouldn't hurt them too much, no?

Oh that will be exciting! Last April when my mom and I were in Disneyland, we saw a couple who had JUST gotten engaged in front of the castle. We missed it by about 30 seconds - the guy was getting up from his knee basically. It was so cute and we didn't even know them!

Have a great day!

Morning everyone! Hope all of you had a wonderful Easter despite the gloomy skies.

Sadly, I can sympathize with Lauren & Tricia losing loved ones. I've had two funerals in the last month, both of them because of cancer. Funny, I actually caught myself looking for Lauren's brother in the local obits...I half expected to see it there like he was a local.

Lori, I understand you wanting to keep this a secret. I'm also leery about sharing. I've passed this site on to a few other die-hard fans, but don't usually mention this board specifically. I bet the big red box was fun - it was good of you to introduce others to the "cult"!

Wish I could've met up on the West Bank, but we had crawfish @ my DSis's. First time in a long time DH was able to get away for Good Friday. Y'all have fun with the bugs & burgers outing today! I'd love to be there, but I'm stuck @ work.

 

[Ms Marigny]

Hey y'all!

The family get together went okay, thank goodness. I think that many of them are mellowing with age, dare I say. They were sure spunkier years ago! Either that or they're afraid to tick me off because they won't see me again for a few years... DD had a great time and was a total ham, of course. A really cute moment was when she helped my 91 year old grandmother blow out the candles on her birthday cake because she was having trouble. Sienna saw that, said "oh, I help!", hopped off of her chair and ran on over. We were both exhausted when we got home, but all in all it was a good day.

I'm not going to be able to make it today either. I have my niece today, which I found out yesterday, and today is the only day she is available this week. I'm picking her up this morning and we're going new baby shopping and have lunch.

I also kinda keep this place secret. One of my friends knows about it and understands because she frequents an internet board herself and goes to their meets, etc. And I'm the only one who knows about her board as well because she knows I would understand too! Otherwise, I just say "A disney site I frequent..." I don't have any Disney freak friends in real life who would be interested in this board I think, but I probably wouldn't tell them anyway because I'm sure I've said things on here I wouldn't want everyone to see!

GM friends - i hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend with family and friends. I sure did. I took today off as well; did not feel like going to work.

Kodi ran off with one of the eggs at our hunt as well. must be a doggie thing. The weather was very wild yesterday...very windy.

I missed a WB meet??? when was this?

 

[FloraFauna]

Good morning

We had a great Easter Sunday yesterday. Friday, Saturday and today are for visiting relatives and getting stuff done. Yesterday was just us 4. It was wonderful.

Tricia, that will be so exciting. I would be so excited, I couldn't keep it a secret. What a great trip: Disney and romance. Best wishes for the couple.

Lorie, that's so cute about Sienna helping with the birthday candles. I'll bet everyone ate that up!

Lori, don't feel bad at all. I hope you had fun.

Ya'll have fun today.

Hey y'all, I'm sick with a stomach bug so I'll be home DISing all day.

Terry - We went to Alligator Pear for lunch on Friday, it happened quickly Thursday night. I don't have your cell or home # so I couldn't call you.

On the WFD thread we compiled an emergency list of telephone #'s. I'd like to offer all of y'all the same thing. I'll compile it and distribute it to all that want to participate. I think it will be very helpful during hurricane season. If you're interested pm me your cell #'s, e-mail address, emergency contact info.

 

[MrsKreamer]

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Kat I think you have my info from WFD thread. You can use it for this thread too. And of course I will update it if the info changes lol.

We went to the bug place already. Next is the imax and aquarium.
It's, um, a little muggy today. Later! Have a great day!

You're not on my emergency list from WFD.

 

[jwhtewolfd]

Wow, ya'll are covering alot of ground today. I just now woke up; we were trapped in Kenner at Tony's mom's house last night waiting for the lightning to stop. Then when we got home we had to feed and medicate the furry ones. This was after I went to work in the AM, drove out to Slidell to my uncle's in the Rigolet's, drove back to work for the PM shift, and then out to Kenner. I'm still beat, I just want to climb back into bed.

Bethany I am sorry I was not able to meet you; maybe next time though.

Just came home from the Hannah Montana movie with DD and one of her friends. The movie was cute and the theatre was packed too.

 

[TigerKat]

Bad news on the sale of the house.....the buyer's inspection was today. They tried to turn on the stove which hasn't worked in years(they knew this) and smelled gas, DUH the pilot wasn't lit....canceled purchase agreement. My agent and the buyer's agent have called her a nut case. The inspector even told her that was to be expected! In fact the loan officer at the bank where she had her financing asked if the closing could be moved up because she was driving them crazy. This is all par for the course for me, I swear my Mom & Dad are doing this to me.

Kat, I'm so sorry! The woman does sound like a nut. She may have been looking for an out. Better luck next time.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Well we just went to portocall. Yes we took photos of the food and even the menu with y'all in mind.

Kristina was laughing, saying "three down, only 2000 more to go!"

Kat- it's totally possible that I typed out the info in a PM and never actually sent it! I'll get it to you for both threads.

I fly back tomorrow.

 

[portocall]

There is no way that I would tell anyone else about this place. It is my refuge... and as much as I like you ladies, you already know I am a nutcase BEFORE you met me... I try to act normal in my "real" life

Portocall Burgers are awesome... wondering whether I should change my screen name so I don't crave a burger everytime I dis now...

Lori... I hope your Mickey Mom's party is going well this evening... don't feel bad for not picking us to attend... I think it is better for you to try to make new converts

Kat: I hope that you are feeling better. I will be PMing you with my info... I think that is a good idea

Lorie... I hope that you had fun baby shopping today. I am glad that everything went okay yesterday. It is amazing what a year can do to people

Bethany: Have a safe trip tomorrow. We are missing you already, and you haven't left yet...

 

[Ms Marigny]

Kathy- I'm so sorry the house sale seems to have gone bust again. And I agree with everyone- that lady is nuts! I hope the next buyer is the charm!

Well I was craving a burger today (thinking of y'all at Port of Call..) so I took my niece to Lakeview Harbor for lunch. It ain't Port of Call, but it's a nice substitute and gave me my burger fix!

Bethany- Have a safe trip home!

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Bethany: Have a safe trip tomorrow. We are missing you already, and you haven't left yet...

Awwww....you're gonna make me cry!

Bethany- Have a safe trip home!

Thanks.
