MOOvers on the MOOve Again

[MommyPoppins]

Cel - I heard them talking about that on the disunplugged one time. It does go back to the owner if the renter messes something up. So while I would rent from strangers I wouldn't rent to strangers(if I owned, which of course I never will. lol) And of course we would never mess anything up if we rented from strangers or friends.(hint hint Moo).

Marita - When do you go?

Chad worked Saturday so he took off today and we went to the beach. It was a beautiful day and there were only about 4 or 5 cars in the parking lot. lol. It's so nice to have the beach to yourself.

The first time we went a few weeks ago Isaac was afraid of the water, which is SUPER nice. But now he isn't and he's even swimming with floaties and I noticed today he has 4 little freckles on his nose. He's growing up so fast.



We had a computer crash over the weekend. The day that it happened I accidentely somehow loaded up the ipod with every picture in the computer. After the crash we lost them all, sooooooooooooooo does anyone know if/how I can get them OFF the ipod??

Ellie had her baby shower Sat. I made her a new dress with matching bloomers for it.

Here she is at the shower with the bow I made to match.

Here is the other dress I made her. I love this picture with her bare feet, I think it's so sweet.

My sister Aimee and I at the shower. She is the one who has Mercedes. Do you think we look alike?

Isaac eating dinner one night, yes dinner.

Ellie and Mercedes in matching dresses, hair bows and socks. But my brother cut the socks out. lol

MommyP, love the pics and the sewing!

You and your sister look alike in the cheekbone area, I think, maybe lips too.

I'm leaviing early Thursday

So I went to the Dr. today after 7 years. The nurse was ready to send an ambulance, my BP was 228 over something. (but went down to 220 when the Dr. took it later). At any rate, he did NOT give me clearance for surgery

He gave me some pills and I have to go back next week. Luckily I was able to schedule it for Tuesday, the day I still have off. I have been having a lot of Dr. appts lately and feeling bad about that.

Dentist tomorrow, lab tests Wednesday!

Chris got the house at $148, now has to wait for inspectors

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Marita! That is a really high BP Good thing you got on some meds. Did they suggest that you get a monitor so you can check your BP at home or are they having you go in periodically to have it checked? Hopefully part of it was just anxiety due to not having been to the doctor for a while Congrats to your son on the house!!!!! Hope the inspection goes well.

MommyP - Sounds like a lovely day at the beach! I'm so jealous - it's ben SO cold here lately. I agree with Marita on the resemblance between you and your sister. The pictures of the two little cousins are adorable! Cute outfits Did you receive lots of nice things at the baby shower?

I don't think I'll ever have any spare points for renting In fact, I'm already kicking myself for not having more.

Cel - DVC had your address, but I knew I didn't need to worry! Congrats on making it through several days of your liquid diet!!! Glad to hear Alli is doing better.

Hi, Sandy! I keep hoping some warmer and/or sunnier weather will blow in from your way soon

LilG - I think it will only be difficult to get into BLT if you wait until after the 7-month window to make a reservation. There's bound to be someplace you can stay on short notice unless it's a holiday weekend or spring break, even if it's Saratoga Springs or Key West. They're both pretty big places. Our 2 bedroom villa at SSR was pretty nice. I just didn't care for how spread out everything was compared to BLT. I really missed the closeness of the swimming pool. For golfers, though, SSR would be an awesome place to stay with the course right next door. And we liked being so close to Downtown Disney. As far as the people buying resale goes, once you buy in, it's no different than buying directly from Disney as far as I can tell. It seems to be a good way of buying in for less money than the current going rate.

Hi Moo,

Actually, Dr did not mention a BP device, but that reminds me of Mom. She was alwyas fretting about her BO and always measurin, Maybe I should get on for Xmas!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Maybe bbn will weigh in here, but sometimes high BP runs in families, I think. You may want to get a monitor soon so you can see if your BP is lower when you're home. I have one that just goes around my wrist and it's easy peasy. Just press a button once it's Velcroed on.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

so here's a question: I got pills and I take BP and it's high. is there anything you can do about it?

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Usually they like you to establish a record of how your BP runs and where it's at when they check it. If the initial meds don't control it properly (e.g., it's either still too high or too low), then they adjust the dosage accordingly. Or they may put you on a different medication or add a medication. My friend who has been having the vertigo, headaches, etc. has been going through all this recently.

Did they check your BP during your cataract appointment? If so, you should ask them what it was. If it was high, that may be why they sent you to your doctor for medical clearance. When I have an eye exam, they always check mine. I think it's a standard screening they've been doing for the past several years.

... moo, for taking away....my jitters. iam begining

to figure out..."the sites"..., someone asked a question...and

..the senate majority...rushes in to support their "party" [ std .

.....it's like a "lottery"- chose the answer....that best fits

your desire./ or pocket book, pending your value system.

we...chose..blt, because..that's where we like to "be stuck"

with @ 11 mos. however, somewhere..i heard there are 400,000

then there seem to be many, many "resales" people....& they

...seem to start alot threads , either bragging how low..they paid...,

or..worst "complaining". so i am hesitant [ ok- chicken ] to ask
questions....or respond.....of being recognized....as the "enemy".

the kicker...whenever anyone post..of being new..., everyone....
welcomes them....home?...i have this sneaky feeling.., either you
eating @ the feast..,or ...they're plotting to feast.....off your bones.


..but more than ..i care to admitt....we are getting old-er, where
..we need to take..days off in-between the parks...& rest. * that
what we did..during our christmas-07 trip, and i got to admitt ..it
was fun...doing nothing.

..then there is the other possibility....we have always....enjoyed
sharing our disney vacations...by giving stuff..to local families....
...when we can't or don't feel like going..instead of renting points,
..we would.....to send .....a family...in our town that normally
couldn't go to disney...to disney! [ especially like the families...we
shared our christmas last year.....those kids...really gave us...the

b/p?..backie...it's the bottom number...that so important....& yes,

there are things...everyone can do...do take care! psst high b/p...

Marita - High bp is nothing to mess with.
Maybe you need xanax or something to help calm you?

I liked the looks of saratoga springs - but I don't think it's worth the extra money to stay there. But I appreciate my stay I got!

 

[NAB]

What a fun and busy weekend! Ate way to much. But it was oh so good.

Marita-- That is way to high. I am surprised you didn't have any other symptons when it was that high, like getting dizzy. My mom's goes up high like that sometimes. Like everyone said it is nothing to mess with. But we all want you to see better too. Hopefully pills will help. I take two different one for high blood pressure. Maybe vacation will help with less stress.

Mommy P-- Love all the new dresses. I think your sister looks like you. So does Ellie.

Lil'g -- What are you going to be for Halloween?

I hope gets warmer for Halloween. It is freezing today, and the wind is really blowing. My front Maple is a beautiful, all multi colour red and orange now. They are calling for frost tonight which means it is going to be really cold tonight. brrrr

 

[aldisneygrl]

Marita - Yes that is high! I had High BP when I was pregnant with both kiddos. When I went to the Dr. last year, it was 160/110, and they told me to lay down on my left side, then they came back in and took it later, and it was back to normal. They called it "white coat disease". Meaning, it goes up when I'm at the Dr. Although high BP is nothing to laugh at. You should get you a monitor. Bought mine at Target after I had DS, and monitored my BP constantly while pregnant with DD. (My Dr. let my BP get out of control while pregnant with DS, and I decided it wasn't going to happen with DD) After that high visit, my Dr. made me take my pressure 3 x a day for a couple of weeks and record the time, and the BP. You might want to try that.

MommyP- I agree with everyone else. Your cheeks are just the same, and you are both cute as a button, as are your girls! Cute outfits for little Ellie. I will ask my DS, when he gets home from school, how to get pics of the ipod. He has knowledge of such things, and his mother does not. Love Isaac's cheerio head!

I'm trying to turn my dogs into Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, any suggestions???????

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Thanks for all the comments/advice on high BP.

Nab, I actually did feel a bit dizzy this morning, maybe it's pshycho-psomatic? (sp) I as actually happy when I could take my pill. Tomorrow I can take it in the morning.

I have/had a buttload of appointsments since seeing the eyedoctor. First eyedoctor, the eye clinic, the regular doctor, today dentist, tomorrow lab tests, Tuesday follow up with doctor, Wednesday eye scan.

Meanwhile, I have a ton of work to finish tomorrow. But if I cant get it done, too bad, someone else will have to finish, I'm leaving!

DS got a counter-offer to his offer, so he counter-offered that. SO remains to be seen how that turns out... I hope he gets it.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Cool, crisp, Canadian air coming this weekend Thanks, Nab!

Record high October temps this year, so finally it should get cooler. Been in the mid-90's.


Tomorrow night I have to finish packing. and finish cleaning the house and vacuum. Leaving for that airport at like 5 am, UGHHHHHH!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Lil G - I'm glad you're getting over your jitters. I think you're going to love DVC We took things more leisurely this trip and relaxed at the resort more than I ever have before. I don't think we made a single park opening this time. The only day we went sort of early was to Hollywood Studios and we also left the park pretty early that day. I don't post much over on the DVC board, but you certainly can learn some interesting things there, mostly on the Mousellaneous subboard.

Remember, too, that they keep building new DVC resorts and that you can use your points elsewhere. I would just suggest trying to book early in your windows for best availability, if you can. I'm calling first thing when the 7-month window opens up later this month for our next trip, since we're going to try to book at Hilton Head Island over Memorial Day weekend. I know it will probably be a long-shot, but if you don't ask, you don't get! AND, we can always wait-list.

Marita! Goog luck with your packing tomorrow and to DS on the house negotiations. You are right - someone else can worry about what you can't get done at work. So do what you need to do for your health and deal with the rest when you're back from vacation

Nabbie - Sounds like you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!! I'm making that Weight Watchers pumpkin fluff for birthday treat day tomorrow. Hope it turns out well

Allie - Did you Google Tweedledee and Tweedledum costumes to get some ideas? That's what I'd do. Maybe you can buy a ready-made dog shirt that you can build upon

 

[Backstage_Gal]

LilG, also remember they now have Grand Califoran avaible and the Hawaii property next next year.

 

[celerystalker]

Have a good trip, marita!

moo - is it your birthday? Happy birthday.

 

[NAB]

Celery -- Moo's birthday is in July. Wheat Thins birthday is at the end of the month ....the 30th I believe. At least that is what he told us a long time ago.

Marita-- are you all ready for you big trip? Safe travels for you and your family. Hope you have a lot of fun, I hope to make it to Disneyland some day. I have been to Montana though where your son is going.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Evening, all!

Cel - Nope, Nabbie was right. It's not my birthday, but we have a monthly treat day to celebrate birthdays in my office and I hadn't taken anything in for months. I just figured it was time. The pumpkin fluff was a hit! Very yummy. I'll definitely be making some for Thanksgiving.

Nabbie - I think you'll like Disneyland when you go. It's the Motherland for Disney fans It feels familiar, yet new. And they're really expanding California Adventure, so that should be fun to visit in the future.

Marita - How's your packing coming along? Safe travels and enjoy seeing your son

Marita - How's your packing coming along? Safe travels and enjoy seeing your son

Packing is OK, I think. But I'm still working and still have to get some food, haven't eaten today yet

DH threatened me not to wake me up if I go to bed at midnight. If he leaves me stranded here, there will be a homocide in the family!!! Have to get up at 4:30.... But still work to do and eat and relax a bit at least...

You all know I don't wake up to alarms! Maybe I should set them for 2:30 so I can hear them by 4:30, maybe? But a couple of them I can't change the times on anymore...

PS: Went for the lab work today, they drew 5 vials of blood!! But I hardly felt it.
