Moo'vers 2012 Edition! come on in!

[Minnie_Moo]

Hope you're feeling better, Nabbie. When I have had pinched nerves, I've found that getting a massage and having them work mostly on the affected area(s) has been helpful.

Nice deer pics, Lil G! Those are some impressive racks!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Awesome pics, Lil' G!

Nabby, I am afraid we are all past buns of steel, LOL. Hope you feel better soon though.

I am crazy busy at work right now trying to fix a program in Access, which none of us are familiar with, and only have a week to patch it up, then hopefully fix it for good. i worked sat, sun, mon last weekend, but decided to take tomorrow off (well, sleep in anyway, I am sure I will be working). But, I enjoy being too busy over not being busy at all, so it's all good. And having retired hubby vacuuming and doing the dishes is nice, I highly recommend it!

This new board look is freaky....came here to see how it would be to post.

I don't like this at all! My avatar is missing Will have to try looking at things on my laptop.

I don't like this at all! My avatar is missing Will have to try looking at things on my laptop.

Yeah I don't like it either. Wonder why my avatar stayed and yours didn't.

We have a snow day here , I should be out shovelling but the drifts are pretty big so I will let hubby snow blow when he gets up. He worked last night so it could be awhile.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Our offices were closed today. Yay!!! Don just spent about an hour plowing our driveway. He had also plowed yesterday afternoon, which may have helped a little... We figure we got about a foot and we also had a lot of drifting. Fortunately, a lot of the snow in our back yard drifted up against the house so the dogs don't have to wade through quite so much!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Sorry to hear about all your weather woes. My son has the same up in Montana. Meanwhile, it was 75 here today, but goes down to 61 on Friday. I only say this so you can laugh at me when I am a melted heap of a mess this summer...

 

[NAB]

Well it has been a really cold week. -40 C for few days with dumping of snow in between. Just came in from last nights dumping. I am so ready for my March Break trip.

My leg is still acting up. I'm going to a chiropractor now to see if they can get it better. One day I think oh it is better the next I can barely get up after sitting down. I have a month to get it better , can't imagine sitting 3 hours on the plane and then trying to get up the way it is.

Happy Valentine's Day !

I received flowers earlier in the week so they weren't expensive and a heart shaped box of Turtle chocolates. Each kids got a smaller box of chocolates from us. Hubby I got him his favourite candy from the Bulk barn so all are happy since we said not to get each other anything. Hubby's birthday is on the 22nd to and mine is two days after the cruise so that is our birthday presents.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Ahhh, I'm finally "dressed" again (got on my laptop and fixed my avatar)!!!

Glad you had a nice Valentine's Day, Nabbie! Ours was pretty low key. Just stayed home on account of the frigid weather. -10 F right now. Brrrr!!!!!!! Glad we have our gas fireplace insert. Makes it seem cozier. I sure hope you are feeling good by your cruise

I'm thinking of going to visit my cousin for a couple days and then go on to WDW the week before you'll be down. We'll probably miss each other by a few days I'm trying to book a room, but the on-line booking tool seems to be down. Last I checked, there were still rooms available at Saratoga Springs. Working on mending fences with Mari and we figured we would still do our mother/daughter trip.

Marita, if you're available to meet up, we'll have to make some plans for lunch or something!!! I'll let you know when we've firmed up our reservations.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Sounds good Moo! Be prepared for me having packed on a few pounds, LOL.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

So have I, Marita!!!

The darn DVC booking tool is down tonight. I went ahead and booked my flight. I am going to try flying Southwest for the first time and sure hope I fit in their seats! I may have to see if there is a child I can sit next to, since it is open boarding.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

OK, I was finally able to book Saratoga Springs for 3/6-11. I couldn't get to sleep, so I tried again during the middle of the night and was successful! Girls' trip!!! Don will be visiting Mari the week after Easter, so we'll both get some quality one-on-one time with her

 

[NAB]

Aw Moo we miss by three days. We fly in Friday the 13th. EEk I didn't realize the date. The cruise leaves on the 14th.

Well be getting in at supper time at least I hope that is when we get in. The weather better co-operate. We got our magical express tags today! Hannah was pretty excited.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Yeah, I figured we'd miss by a few days, Nabbie! I have to be back at work for an important meeting on Friday the 13th. I had actually looked into trying to book onto your cruise, but was afraid I might have trouble renewing my passport on time. I think it'll be better to spend some mother/daughter time with Mari to try to mend things after our horrible Christmas visit!!!

 

[NAB]

Well I will just be happy to get out of this cold weather. Going to be cold again tonight and tomorrow morning. Broke a record early in the week....feels like -34 with the wind. That is -29 F . This is crazy. I have to scrap the inside of my windows now which is sad.

My darn leg is still acting up too. Some days I think it is gone and I will wake up and there it is again. I'm seeing a chiropractor for it too. I'm afraid after the almost 3 hour flight I won't be able to get up. I'm great walking around but it is the sitting for long periods that is killing me or when I first get up in the morning.

Moo : we can always get together another time. Would have loved to have lunched with you and Marita though, we always seem to miss each other when I'm done there. We are staying at POR for one night before the cruise. Hoping to make it over to Downtown Disney if the flight is on time.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Nabbie, I ended up getting an annual pass, so I'm planning on going back next fall/winter after I retire! So we should be able to find a time we can get together!!! I had good intentions of doing more walking before our trip, but I think I have a pulled muscle in my upper thigh. I will probably have to go the scooter route again. But I should be able to handle the routine walking well enough...

Have you tried using a foam roller and/or getting a massage? That might be a way to get your leg feeling better before your trip.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I'm heading to Florida on Wednesday! First time flying Southwest Airlines, so please wish me luck!!! WDW on Friday ☺ (DTD), then MK/Epcot/MK, HS, AK/ Epcot, MK... At least, that is currently the plan. We only have one table service meal planned at Brown Derby. We hope to try a lot of the Flower & Garden Festival food and beverage offerings.

 

[NAB]

Moo= we fly South West all the time out of Buffalo. We do pay extra to pick our seats since the seating is first come kind of thing and if your not in the first group we could be separated. Plus Nicholas needs the extra leg room.

I'm sure you will be glad to get out of this cold messy weather. We had freezing rain last night.

My leg is still giving me trouble so not sure what is going to happen there. Well take a lot of Advil with me I guess. Going to go back to my doctor and see if he can look into it more because they chiropractor is doing nothing for me. I'm guessing I need physical therapy instead to stretch it out , I will do anything at this point.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

My flight on Southwest went very well! It was a relief that they handled my seating request without any problem. I think I'll pay the fee for earlier boarding on my flight home.

It was nice and warm down here last night and today - it got up to 86 this afternoon, but we are further south than WDW. Quite a difference from home!!! There are tons of orange trees around my cousin's town - they are just loaded with ripe-looking oranges. We're heading to WDW tomorrow. Just checking in to our resort and visiting DTD. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for Mari. Freezing rain is forecasted for the morning

Nabbie - I hope your leg feels better by your cruise. Maybe get a massage instead of going ashore?!

 

[NAB]

Glad you made it safe and sound Moo! I want out of this cold we had freezing rain the other night and are back in the deep freeze today.

I was looking into getting a massage on the boat...It would be heaven.

We are not going into the parks this time just going to DTD too. I hear it is quite a mess right now with a lot of construction. I want to go to the Christmas shop and get a Christmas ball for my nephew's baby.

Enjoy your visit with Mari hope she doesn't have any troubles getting there.
