Hey Colleen...

that is a bummer they dont have one for ea. park anymore... I guess I will get my 1 at the check in to the hotel. I had my dinner ressie's marked w/the 35th bday notation..

Also was checking the balance in our checking acct last night.. noticed that there is a charge from Disney Florist.. DH I guess is going to surprise me.. Now I cant wait to see what he had sent to the hotel!!!

YIPPIE!!!

Hey.. did you get that job that you wanted at the Travel place?? I would LOVE to be a travel agent!

Good Morning MM's....up even earlier than normal - thanks to DH's snoring....but thats okay - gives me a few mins to post.

Glad you got my little note Nan....when i was preparing that invoice i thought - i can't just mail it off without saying hi

well now that my wkend cropping event was cancelled...not sure what i'm doing to make up for it....but do think i'll go to the mall sunday...still have some gift cards to use & a special one from my boss....

Good morning to you too, Brenda!!!

End of the first full week of 2007 and all I can say is TGI Friday!!!!

Weighed in this morning and have lost 2lbs this week - which is OK... What am I saying??? It's fantastic!!!!
So that's 2 down, 12 to go...

As for this weekend, we-ell, my men (DH & DS22) are going to watch a soccer game - they support a team called Aston Villa who Tom Hanks also supports!!! How crazy is that? Anyway, they're out for the day and I'm planning to go to an open day at my local Uni - I saw an ad about psych nurse retraining and that's what I used to do, so I'd like to see if they'd want me...

Good morning, Magic Mateys,

Tig, I'm sorry about you not being able to come up today, but we have other days to gt togther and hang out.

Anjelica, I'm so glad you checked in, and Robin, and Kelly. Kelly, I wish you a happy birthday at WDW. I don't have to tell you that WDW can bring anyone out of a slump and make us forget the daily grind.

Brenda, Debbie, Nan, and Kaz...hugs to you. I love it that you girls keep this thread so alive and fun.

I'm so glad it's Friday, looking forward to catching up on sleep this weekend, as I've been really busy this past week, nothing exciting, just re-arranging my bedroom and getting rid of clutter. I bought Mel a 50-pair shoe rack that goes almost up to the ceiling, for all his sneakers. Now they won't be strewn all over the room/house.

Today I'm going to look into refacing my kitchen cabinets. I don't want to spend the money on tearing it all down and getting all new, so new doors and drawers may be the solution.

My mom left last Sunday, but called me the other night and wasn't nice at all. She said some very hurtful things, that usually don't bother me, but this time I don't know why it hit me in the stomach. Anyway, she's like Jekyl and Hyde, sweet some days and horrid on others. This is actually funny, but Casey said I should get a baseball bat and beat the ****e out of a pillow representing her to release my tension. It's great to have a best friend who's a priest AND a doctor of psychology, so that I can "beat" her with a bat and then go to confession afterwards!

I was upset last night, because Chad told me that Louise's little 3-year old niece Julia has to have surgery on her kidney. The operation itself isn't life-threatening, but just the thought of that precious beautiful little girl being in the hospital made me so sad. I love her so much. Louise often brings her and her 4 year old sister to my house for visits, and the way she and Chad take care of her, it's almost like it's their own child/children. Not that I'm rushing Chad into anything like marriage and having kids yet, but it makes me realize that when he does have kids of his own, OMG I'm going to love my grandchildren so much.
Here's a photo of us doing a gingerbread choo-choo during Christmas:

Those big brown eyes kill me every time!

Wow, I'm writing a lot this morning! What's wrong with me LOL!

OK, what else? I'm sitting in my car waiting for a clothing store to open to get some pants for Jesse. I'll take a pic with my cell phone:

It's a dreary day here in NYC, overcast, but warm for January.

Have a good day, everyone!

Oh Aisling...I'm sorry to hear about Julia...- boy they are some gorgeous girls for sure!!!!! AND your mother...HELLLOOOOO - does she know who's she's talking to you????? Well I agree with Fr. Casey....go get the bat & get it out...You are such a WONDERFUL loving person...i can't even imagine WHAT she is thinking....now i'm p/o'd!!!! Well my friend, here's a little hug~

kelly....HAPPY Birthday a little early...My DS was "Supposed" to be born on Jan. 14th...but 30+ hours of labor made him a Jan. 15th boy!! have an awesome time at the world!!!


Kaz - Good Luck at the University today!!! & Congrats on those 2 lbs!!!! keep that up another month & you're almost there...i weigh in tomorrow....

 

[CustardTart]

Aisling, and to you!!!

So sorry to hear about baby Julia - she and her sister are beautiful little dolls!! What's her sister called?

So angry to hear about your Mother's phone call!!! You poor love - I hope that pillow has received a good smacking by now...

Good idea about your kitchen cabinets - it's a much less pricey job if you can do it that way...

Hope you have a lovely weekend...

 

[disneykelly73]

Aisling thank you so much.. I do hope this will help my slump.. and help me forget my troubles and worries.

Aisling, I refinished my cabinet facings in my kitchen. Mine are solid wood and had three coats of paint on them, the last one was black. It took me a couple weeks but was soooo worth the time.

Nan, didja get an envelope from me yet? I sent you a little something to remind you of your trip to Hong Kong. It's yours to keep, please be sure to share it with Molly~

Happy Friday Magic Mateys...

Brenda...I am trying to get ahold of the girl who wanted a CM demo this month. Her son just made her a gramma and I think she's been kinda busy.

Aisling, you and me will have our CM software session-soon. I will know my class schedule by wednesday, we can schedule our playdate after that.

Well if she needs to postpone to Feb..that IS okay - she now has one more reason to scrapbook!!!! I know you'll meet your challenge - so watch for your pkg later this month!!!

I'm hoping to do a little sb'ing myself this wkend here at home since this wkend in the mtns were cancelled....should spend a few hours tomorrow doing some of what i had planned anyway. Sunday will pretty much be spent in San Jose...DD & I are going to see The Kite Runner & do some shopping. She's been sick this week so haven't seen her at the gym all week...which means i haven't seen her at all

I need a new printer!

I've been looking for an all-in-one, print/scan/copy/fax and have it narrowed down to a Canon and an HP. Do any of you have an all-in-one you could recommend ($100 - 150 range.)

 

[nskjerven]

Tigg:

Yes I've got the package. I'm so sorry I haven't thanked you yet. I've just been so engulfed in work crap. Molly will enjoy it too, thanks for thinking of us in Hong Kong

Hi to the rest of you....

I'll stop in this weekend and chat I'm so tired now...nite nite.

 

[CustardTart]

...DD & I are going to see The Kite Runner & do some shopping...

I bought an HP officejet 6100 at Costco for about $199 3or4 years back....it's been great & is most likely somewhat less these days...

There were definitely some uncomfortable moments. Despite it's awards, I don't think I could watch the movie as I'm a weeper and would be blubbing at the earliest available opportunity!! NOT a good look...
