Nobby's Gnomies... heading to WDW in April 2010

[Charleston Princess]

See this is my problem I am new to this whole egg dying thing. We never did that growing up LOL...I can only imagine the disaster it will be the first time we dye eggs at our house. I guess I should start practicing but then again if I told Prince Phillip why I was dying eggs for practice he might think I was insane LOL

Um, we need to stage an egg-dying intervention posthaste, Jen! It's really easy and tons of fun -- as crafty as you are, I can't believe you would make a mess.

I know its horrible to thing...we just never did it! We hid eggs in the yard but they were the plastic kind and we did easter baskets...but we never once dyed eggs. Well I Will buy all the stuff if you guys want to do the intervention at my house LOL

Seriously Jen, it can't be much easier! Get a couple dozen eggs, boil them up (very important step! ) Get a set of the plastic cups, you can reused them year after year and an egg dying kit, I personally think the most basic ones are best. Follow the directions on the box to mix up the dye and dip away! I got a really cute set last year after easter (I always buy them on clearance) that came with eyes and mouth stickers, the boys loved them. Most kits come with stickers, stands and egg wrappers. You can also write on the eggs with a white crayon before dipping then that part stays white after the dying.

Too bad I couldn't just jet down for the weekend.

Oh yes, I loved using the white crayon! That was always so much fun. If you get really proficient with the white crayon, you can make a design, dip it, then wipe off the wax, put more on in different areas of the egg and dip it for other effects. Does that make sense?

I really want to buy an Easter Egg kit now. Maybe I will.....

My turn to vent for a minute. Now my carefully laid plans for today have been upended. I had to call MIL about Easter, and she wanted to know about egg dying -- well her mom and SIL are staying with her right now, so I said, "You have a full house, so we are just going to egg dye on our own over here." Then she played the guilt card and said, "But I am sure my mom would love to do anything that involves the kids." Well, dang it all! How could I argue with that -- after all Chelsea and Connor's great-grandmother is 90 and only here until Saturday. So, then I had to call my SIL and tell her that we needed to go over and do eggs at her mom's. She was about as pleased as I was. Now I get to drag the kids and all of our egg dying stuff over there this afternoon (MIL's SIL is allergic to cats so they can't come over here). I am not going to share my Star Wars kit though.

UGH UGH UGH! MIL'S! BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm sorry, CP. I wouldn't share your Star Wars kit either!


I just got off the phone with Marc. Are you ready for this? So MIL tells him that they "probably" can come over for dinner on Thursday. I ask Marc what time they will be over, Marc says, oh we didn't work that out.

Are you kidding me? She summons him over there and then they don't even give a definite answer or even a time. I am so angry. I told Marc point blank that he needs to STOP giving into her whims and put his foot down. There was no reason to go over there last night because she held giving an answer about dinner over his head. I am so annoyed with this crap. Then she mentions that we should have BIL and FSIL over too. I'd much rather have them over on their own because I enjoy their company and we haven't done anything with them in a few months. It's like YOU were invited, WE will take care of the details.

What is the funniest thing you've seen in WDW?​

Can't remember where I saw this one so couldn't begin to go back and find the photo but somewhere there is a picture of a woman so drunk? tired? that she was passed out in one of the Disney provided blue strollers (baby carts as Marc would call them!) and was being pushed by her husband.

Great one C! I have a similar one to this. Last december on our trip, at HS, we were near TT and Blake was debating if he wanted to get on it. We then spot TWO husbands in ONE of those blue baby strollers, each with a beer in their hands being pushed around by one of their wives. They looked like they couldn't tell the difference between if they were on one of the "real" rides or not! Their legs were hanging out the bottom of the stroller, trying to keep their feet off the ground so that the wife wouldn't run them over, but also making sure to not spill their beers!

I am so perturbed about it. I don't like my plans being changed! We are leaving in about 20 minutes to head over there.

Must be one of those MIL days -- is the moon full or something?

You are good, CP. Full Moon is tomorrow according to my Twilight calendar. Edward =

It was just a wild guess! Kids, dogs, and MILs tend to act crazy during the full moon, I suppose!

 

[julezdisney]

I've had the most terrible day today and I can't wait to leave this awful place to tell you all about it! I need Gnomie Hugs!

[Lady Lallie]

There was just some snow flurries outside.

It's freaking April!

We got a bunch yesterday! I think my crazy day yesterday had a lot to do with it! Nothing layed, but it was snowing pretty hard!

It's already stopped but it made me quite disgruntled!

I feel ya LL. April should=No Snow!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Poor Julez!!!

Ugghhh, well, I had a nice spell of a few days where I didn't sound like a broken record, but I just looked at the weather forecast and Friday we are getting another stupid storm system from the Rockies with the threat of severe storms. This one sounds a little more dire than before. AGGHHH!!! I am so over it.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Stupid Storms.

Stupid Inlaws.

Stupid Everything.

I am so over EVERYTHING. UGH. I am so annoyed over everything. What illness can I fake tomorrow so I can cancel on the inlaws? Everytime I try to be nice and make sure we get together with MIL, it backfires.

That's it.

No more Mrs. Nice LL.
