MOOvers, Huggers, and Pixie Dusters!

[celerystalker]

I'll take it! Wait. That was a rash decision. I have a few points you must meet first. You have to guarantee me giggling about boys, braiding each other's hair, pillow fights, and access to high speed internet. Only then can we talk.

Giggling about boys - check, as long as you consider the breadman at almost 36 a boy still.
braiding each other's hair - my hair isn't long enough to braid, but I'm willing to let you try out funky hairstyles on me.
pillow fights - only as long as my puppy can play too
high speed internet - Duh. This ain't mamacan'tfindya!

1. You forgot the popcorn requirement, as well as access to GAC. Duh.

Popcorn? I love popcorn. Especially kettle corn! Yum.
GAC? ACK! hee. Umm. Yeah. I have directv. And I'm reasonably sure GAC is one of the choices. We'll just try to schedule your GAC time when I'm far away. Or I'll invest in some headphones.

Have you been talking to Natasha? Cuz she said the EXACT same thing! "If Daddy doesn't want to go, he doesn't have to. We can send him a postcard. That'll even save us some money." Such a wiseguy, that one.

What a smart cookie!

NAB & Lynette....I'm not Catholic but my grandmother used to make the communion bread for our church at her house with pie crust and one of those little roller tools you use in sewing...looks like a tiny pizza cutter. Anyway, I had had my fill of communion bread long before I could officially eat it.

My grandmother used to make it too! I LOVE homemade communion bread.
Our church now uses the cardboardesque wafers.
And I still like it.
hee.
And not just cuz it's the body of Christ.

 

[celerystalker]

Where ARE you people?
I'm being productive today and want to take a reward break to DIS, but no ones posting!
No fair!

Harumph.
Back to work, I guess.

 

[lalijack]

Hey, Cel! I'm here! Amuse me!

Lynette....Leave your Mr. L home! Somebody's gotta take care of the dog?!

Ha! That's HIS argument, Melinda! "We just got a dog, and now you want to leave him alone for a week?" Um, yes. Duh. Plus, my mom will be home, so she could watch Mojo. She wouldn't be thrilled about it, but tough knuckles!

Our Communion bread is that wafer-y thingy. Does anyone remember those penny candies that were called "flying saucers"? They were filled with little candy beads....well, anyway, the flying saucers taste PREZACKLY like the Host.

Also advanced Disney bookers know to moniter the airfare for ALL mythical trips. It won't work this year but in years past you wait for it to be a goog deal and hop on it, then you use the "we can't afford NOT to go at this price, dear"

I am still learning this skill, O Master of the Mythical Voyage. I will take any and all advice that you have to offer.

As for Boy Who Needs Nickname, will he stay with his biomom, or just do day visits?

 

[babynurse1]

I have a field trip to the Science center next week with the grade two class. Now I am scared. What you described is why I always afraid to volunteer that and losing one of them.

Good luck NAB! I did ask one of the teachers today why I always seemed to get "blessed" with the "interesting" children. She laughed and said. "I think it is because you have 4 kids, 3 of which are boys, and let's face it the redhead is quite the handful. I guess we figure you won't be overwhelmed by exuberant little boys"

I'm taking that as a compliment. Let's not talk about the "redhead is quite the handful" part though.

Should be a fun weekend, but since I'm at his house, I won't be able to post. Unless we go to the coffee shop sometime.

w00t. Have fun!

Interesting trip report there E. You can have the scarlet pimpernel meaning the little red flower. I'll take the hotT, mysterious, and intelligent hero of the French Revolution.

Ok. I concede. But I'm keeping Atticus, so dont be pulling any funny stuff. Back to Hosting Slumber Parties At Sunnybrook for now.

UGH, I 'm reliving Twinkie's house selling drama all over again!

Good luck Wendy.

Stress schmess. NOW is the perfect time to be selling a home. The economy is humming along, consumer confidence is high and gasoline prices are at an all time low. You should have no problem selling that baby.

Wheat Thins

Thank you for that useless post oh mighty spin doctor.

.....cant believe how they do major open heart surgery and then throw you out four days later.......really amazing.....We are all thankful...

i'm glad to hear he is doing well.

1. And I had to take the robe off as soon as the ceremony was over. I was sweltering!!!! I may or may not complain excessively when it's hot.



2. Looked? Past tense??? I'm confused. You do realize those pictures were taken just a few short days ago. Are you suggesting I no longer look pretty? I. Don't. Get. It.

1. That is SO like you to remove articles of clothing in public. You wear complaining about the heat? SHOCKING!

2. Last time you posted a picture I said something in the past tense. You jumped all over me about it. I was being a smartypants. It's what I do best. I guess my humor is too high brow for the likes of you.

Who needs a DH for a Disney trip?

This spoken from the chick who doesn't have a dh. tsk tsk

Can't the dh's get a lil respect on this thread? C'mon. They work hard as psych nurses, parking lot attendants, scientists, etc. Some of them even have TWO wives to support. Some of them even have to put up with snarkiness and biting on a daily basis. *cough*snarkgirlspoorhubby*cough* I think a dh is a fine addition to a Disney trip.

DS called tonight. He passed his big test today.

YAY! Good news Marita.

Oh, yer a funny one, you are. Harumph!

Why ty. It's good to see you finally realized that.

Yes, he finally did. Grounding is not really an option, he just finds all sorts of other good reasons to be gone, long story.

Hi javamom

Peej! Thanks for sharing your graduation pics! Hope picking up your diploma went smoothly

Great pictures Moo. Your baby is spreading her wings. Isnt it bittersweet?

BNCG....I loved your Elijah story! DS had one of those naughty old testament prophets in his class last year....Isaiah. Thank goodness I never went on a field trip with them.

I think it's funny that sometimes the kids with the most angelic names are the rotten ones. There is a kid named Damien in the class and he was perfectly behaved.

Hi all,

DTD. Thanks for checking in. Hope your life slows down just a bit. Good luck with all the job stuff.

TGIF! I think we are pretend camping in the backyard this weekend.

Have a great weekend.

Where ARE you people?

mamacantfindya. Where the internet is slow, the horses are fast, the men are men, the kids are terrors, and the women are homegrown and sweet as pie.(angelic even)

Daily snarkiness is a blessing...it keeps my DH on his toes. He seeks out snarkiness, if you want to know the truth.

Oh, and you always take your DH to Disney. It's the KIDS you leave at home! Poor little cherubs! Harumph!

 

[monymony3471]

Dh and I always guesstimate how many trips we could take to disney a year if we didn't have 4 other little people living with us.

 

[babynurse1]

It's the KIDS you leave at home! Harumph!

How do you think we got 4 kids?


Here is a song from Lynette's Dh to her. Cuz I think he just might enjoy your snarking and biting. Any good dh would : *Imagine Michael Buble singing*

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby (yes I do)

How sweet it is to be loved by you (feel so fine)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby (woah, yeah)

How sweet it is to be loved by you (it's just like sugar sometimes)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

(Woah, yeah)

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby (woah, yes)

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you (woah, now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (it's like jelly, baby, woah now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (just like honey to the bee babe, yeah now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

 

[celerystalker]

I think a dh is a fine addition to a Disney trip.

I call WT for my next trip!

What?
You didn't say it had to be OUR OWN DH.

 

[UtahMama]

BbN- looove that song! Wish someone would sing it to me

Moo- what a beauty your dd is! She resembles you a lot!



Yup. we now have a replacement sign in our front yard with a web site on it for a virtual tour. The pictures for which will be taken in about an hour. UGH! I have one boy (Dallen) who is stomach flu-y and is DED. Then I only have Norah and Taylor (age 3) who are whirling dervishes of mess and mayhem.

My DH is just freaking out with stress since he didn't work today. I just grabbed him by the shoulders and threatened to slap him if he couldn't be somewhat pleasant and stop stressing that there's laundry in the dryer and it will show in the pictures.


I just bought two bouquets of some seriously gorgeous flowers for "props" . I may have mentioned that my vase has been empty long enough so I'm going to have to keep it stocked mySELF.


Anyway, CODE BLUE on the caffeine headache situation. FUNNY this: I've been drinking hooch more due to extreme stress, and my weight loss has stalled! As long as the number doesn't inch up, I guess.

 

[monymony3471]

Wendy here's a {{{hug}}}! You just sit right down and enjoy your hooch.

 

[celerystalker]

ALright y'all. I'm off to church to count shirts. woo!
then I'm headed to the breadman's house.
see you later!
(If I survive the new kitten!)

 

[aldisneygrl]

Hi Y'all!!!!! She says as she sneeks back in. It is the first full day of summer vacation here! Actually, it hasn't been too bad. No fights, so that's good.


Good luck with the house sellin' Wendy. Hope Dallen doesn't add any decoration for the house posting pics.

CEL - I'm headed your way next week. I'm stayin' in that big pretty hotel in NashVegas. I have connections and am staying in style for Motel 6 rates. I'm taking my mom and DD for a couple of days to celebrate mom's 70th birthday. Would love to meet with you, but Mom just wouldn't understand that I have this vegetable named imaginary friend. Please don't get your feelings hurt. I'll still wave as I pass by.

Congrats to all who made it thru the gradjeeashun services!

Peej - you were a beautiful graduate!

Melinda - Tell Emily good luck tomorrow! I LOVE Seussical!

Hi everbody else!

 

[RobInBigKC]

Good afternoon Moovers! We have baseball and barbecues on the agenda this weekend. Games today, Saturday, Sunday, and, hopefully, Monday when the champion bracket is played out. 20 high-quality teams in this 12-and-under tournament but only 8 advance to Monday.

Ha! Neither of you is married to MY darling husband, who still has his First Communion money! He's got a rebuttal for every good reason why we should book another trip.

You don't use reason to persuade DH's -- you use your womanly wiles.

Hi Cool Kid Moovers. 'sup?

I finally made it into a BBN post!

OH! AND! At the end of the field trip he said I was hot and then hugged me. and then grabbed my @@. I kid you not. I was accosted by a first grader.

He grabbed your eyerolls?

RobIn- THANKS for that, Swee-tart!
Who's David Cook???

Lynette- You just need to fine tune your skillz. His 40th birthday and your 10 year celebration of your LOVE should do it. Work it mama!

1. You're welcome BFF!
2. See? Breezy agrees with me.

Thanks, BigL. And I hear hotT college chicks are going to be in Orlando this summer and would love some visitors. Just sayin.

Are you sure you still qualify for this, now that you've graduated?

Anyway, Emily's in the 7:30pm tomorrow production so they're practicing til 9:30 tonight. At least DH has agreed to go to the camp out tonight with DS. I hope it doesn't rain. I'm looking forward to some alone time.

Important for both DH's and DW's.

Where ARE you people?

Hint: it's part of my username.

Here is a song from Lynette's Dh to her. Cuz I think he just might enjoy your snarking and biting. Any good dh would : *Imagine Michael Buble singing*

Imagine Buble singing? Why must you take a Marvin Gaye classic and drag it through the mud like that?

-- Rob

So, you and Wenchy are suggesting I pimp myself out for the Mouse? Nice.



Hey! There are several of us on this thread who are fans of Michael Buble. There might have even been talk of drooling at one time or another. So watch yourself!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

No posts since 3:23 this afternoon?!! I guess I need to remedy that

Moo....Aren't you so proud of your girl? I love her dress! Where's that fushia top you picked out to wear to the ceremony?

Yep, we're VERY proud! The two years of grad school just flew by.

I AM wearing the new top in my photo with DD It's more of an orchid color than fuschia or hot pink.

Goog luck to Emily on Suessical this weekend. Have a grad time watching her! I know she'll be FABulous!!!

Moo-congrats on the dd. Grajiatin is one of the hardest things to do, getting a young'un through is right up there too. (Do you hear the World calling?)

My you've been busy lately!!! Best wishes on the gubbermint job.

We're glad graduation is over and that it went well. Kind of low key this time around, fortunately, except for having to travel for the ceremony.

And yes. Disney is calling me. I figure I have to get my $$ worth out of the annual pass! So I really am thinking about going on a budget trip in December when Mony will be there. And then maybe in the Spring while my cousin is still in Florida. The only problem is with my gimpy knee I have been going the scooter route on park days and that can really add up

Can't the dh's get a lil respect on this thread? C'mon. They work hard as psych nurses, parking lot attendants, scientists, etc. Some of them even have TWO wives to support.

Great pictures Moo. Your baby is spreading her wings. Isnt it bittersweet?

Ah, but it's best to leave the DHs behind when they really don't want to visit the Mouse! That gives them some alone time AND no need to send the puppies to "camp"!

We are pretty used to DD being on her own. Empty nesters since 2000 except for a couple of summers But you never stop being concerned about how they're doing and hoping they mostly make goog decisions. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a great job opportunity for her this fall.

Moo- what a beauty your dd is! She resembles you a lot!

Awwwww, thanks, Wendy!!! We think she is a sweetie. Couldn't ask for a better daughter.

Hang in there during the house showing angst. You know we're pulling for you Fresh flowers ALWAYS help!

Hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend. I'm planning to get lots of rest to try to knock out this dang bronchitis. And play lots of Scrabble, Twink, Mony, Lynette, and Wendy, IF you're around

And Allie! No need to in!!!

 

[UtahMama]

We just got our house pictures taken (the professional ones) today!

A few minutes ago, our realtor called to tell us someone wants to look at our house tomorrow! ALREADY?

But then I started thinking about how many homes are for sale around here and the possibility of it just being the competition wanting to be a looky-loo.

Luckily our house is still super clean and tidy so it should be easyish to keep it that way till tomorrow, in theory

My whole family just left to go hunt down our pressure washer over at Grumpy Grandpa's house, but I have a date with Miss Clairol and am in need of a bubble/Buble (Boo-blay) bath. With appropriate orange-line (Melinda!) anti aging facial action. THAT's what I do with an hour to myself, people.

Dallen still has a wicked case of the b'leurks He's #2 in our family to be stricken after Riley last week. LYSOL!!!!! Norah's the one who I worry about since she is still too little to make it to a toilet or garbage in time. She will still poke me out of a sound sleep to tell me she "feels sick..." followed by 10 gallons of .

 

[lalijack]

Hi Moo and Wendy! I'll definitely be around this weekend. DH and DS took the cover off the pool this evening , and we'll be sprucing up the yard this weekend. Also, I'm having my idiot brother and his 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse kids over for a cookout on Sunday, along with DH's 2 brothers and a couple of friends. On Monday, Boris gets to march in our town's Memorial Day parade with his soccer team and/or Scout den. He hasn't decided which group he wants to walk with yet.

I am really looking forward to getting some family time in, along with some time to get stuff done around the house.

But I'll definitely be popping in here and playing Scrabble too. So check our games, girls!

 

[monymony3471]

How do we keep passing around the buerking when there's no contact what so ever?

It is just a vicious circle over here with the beurking.

Hope it gets better for you all with sick kids. (Wendy, Twinks)


My SIL's father passed away and we went to the funeral home this evening.
I guess he's been in the hospital the last 3 weeks and they never mentioned it. Funeral is tomorrow.


Hope you all have a nice and safe holiday weekend. Hugs!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Yikes on the beurking!!!

What a night!

Our puppies tunneled out of the yard and went for a run behind our house all the way behind our backyard neighbors' house in the creek. Don chased them down with the Jeep and brought them home, then took them out by the hole under the fence and scolded them, so hopefully they won't do that again. I washed about a cup of mud and sand off of the two of them Looks like we'll need to keep a close eye on them when they're in the yard and do some repairs. Or I may talk with Don about getting some kind of electric fence. They have one that creates a circle-shaped zone that is portable.

On a more positive note, DH sold his camper that goes on the back of his truck tonight

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

So for the first time in the 18 1/2 years I've been a momma, I spent the night alone in my own home last night. It was very anticlimactic actually. DH took DS on the church camp-out. Then Mimi & Emily both came home around 9:30 to gather their stuff because they had both been invited to spend the night out.

So what did I do on my evening alone? With no beer?
Lurked on the DIS.
Fought with the cable company over my bill.
Switched my internet and phone service over to the phone company.
Applied for a full time job online.
Thrilling evening. I should've colored my hair and done a facial like Wendee.

I fell asleep watching What Not to Wear at around midnight and the TV stayed on all night and my dreams incorporated themselves to flow with the infomercial that was on TV all night long. Then at 7 Emily's alarm went off...Jack Johnson singing Better Together. Not entirely unenjoyable so I listening to it about 10 times until the phone rang at 7:30.

Big night.

Tonight is Emily's *Gertrude* night in Seussical. If I get some video, I'll post it on Facebook tomorrow so you can see it.

Allie....Thanks from Emily. And me.

Moo....I had in my head that the top was brighter but it's still cute!

Wendee....PM the link to your house tour! I wanna see! I hope Narah doesn't get the crud. Keep her away from the boys!

Twinks....I hear ya on the airfare. I booked DH's flight to Orlando last September about a week out. It was $80 Loo-uh-vull to MCO with a short layover in Charlotte. There are some good deals if you're near major airports.
Hoping you have a buerk free day today.

Lynette....So Mr. L doesn't want to go to Disney but he doesn't want you to go without him? He sounds conflicted. Book for the last week of September and don't tell him. That's what I did!

Celery....Do you really want to walk around Disney World with a goofy guy in a goofy hat? Take the breadman! He needs a Disney trip!

Rob....You're right about needing alone time. My next alone time is scheduled for May 2015.

DTD....Sounds like you've been busy! We've missed you!

Monica....Good deal on the flight! Our round trips were $155 to Orlando the day SW released the fall schedule. A bargain!

WT....I guess my MSO was back up to your standards again yesterday?

LilG!!! When are you going to Kings Island?

PJ? BNCG? Kings Island?

EVERYBODY I MISSED........

HAVE A WONDERFUL SATURDAY!
