Dinner's on!! Later!

WOW, three arms! She is very special! Come on Bonnie, the second dress should be a snap since you have already made one!

Has anyone been to Mickey's Halloween party? Should we take Kaleigh?

We went last year before we went on the cruise and the kids LOVED it! They have trick or treating stations all around the park marked with these HUGE pumpkin balloons that you can see from the different lands. It isn't just for the kids, there were people of all ages collecting candy. When you enter the park, you get a treat bag! They also have the free family picture like they have for the Very Merry Christmas Party. The parade is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to be missed! We video taped it. There are characters that you don't see in other parades. The music is really cute. We had Makenzie and the Big Guy in their costumes (Princess Aurora and Woody). It was really fun! Even some adults were dressed up. There was a family in front of us at Winnie the Pooh where the mom and aunt dressed up as Cinderella's step-sisters and the little girl (no more then 6yrs) was Cinderella. The two step-sisters were incredible! The looked and talked just like them! The stayed in character the whole time.

SOOOOOOOOOO, I would diffinetly say GO and take Kaleigh!!!!!!!! You all will have a great time!

[Boardwalk Garry]

Just checking in real quick...another night at worked filled with drunken idiots. Haven't had a chance to catch up on reading the boards yet. Hope everyone is doing fine.

Talk to you later.


P.S. Even as I write, we're off to check on someone passed out in a van! C'ya!!

 

[Schrolls]

Just a quick check in before I go to work for 1/2 day then off to Roanoke for the weekend. Everyone have a great day, great weekend and keep posting!!

Love you guys!
Later!

We did not go the Halloween Party last year, but depending on when you are there, the Boardwalk does a very nice, smaller version.
We took Clare and she got her picture with "ghost mickey", decorated cookies, made ghost lollipops, danced, won 1st place in the costume contest, etc.
There are treat stations all around the boardwalk. I thought it was just great for a child who doesn't really eat candy.
It was very family oriented.
Just my two cents.

Good morning!!

I just ordered a birth certificate online. I had to sign up for PayPal
in order to get it. Does anyone know anything about this PayPal?? They made it sound like I now have this account. I am very uncomfortable with this. I don't trust internet services. Last time we went on the cruise they told me that the birth certificate I have is just a hospital copy and next time I went on the cruise it would'nt work.

Good morning. A morning spent writing out shower invitations. Heidi is hosting the shower for Stacey. It is a potluck of sorts. The guests are to fill out three recipe cards and bring one of the dishes to the shower to share with the bride and shower guests. The cards match a nice hallmark recipe book. Anyway, Stacey has all my recipes. Do any of you have a favorite recipe to share with me????? Also, Heidi was wondering if any of you have a good alcohol free punch recipe. We never make punch so we are out looking for something yummy.

Barb, I really don't know anything about PayPal but I believe Heidi has bought things off of EBay using it and has had no problems. I am so much like you. Much rather write a check. I wrote SD for mine. Along that line, I think we will get a passport next time. Ted works for the City and they now offer passports so it will be easy.

Have a great weekend. Thanks in advance for any recipes you might want to share. Sandy

 

[Mickey02]

Hi Sandy

We have a punch that we use at all the family gatherings. I always thought my Mom either made it up or inheirited it somewhere. Found out as an adult that she found it in some cookbook or something. However it is still refered to as the "Family recipe" I would love to share it with
you if you are interested.

[Mickey02]

I got a quote on the 10 day cruise in Dec 2004.

over $12,000 for 5 people... Yikes.
Would love to go but...... Guess I will stick with the
October 2004!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi Barb, ouch!!!! That is a lot of money. The money you save you can use on another cruise!!!!! How sweet. I would love the "family recipe" for the punch.

Ran into Bryan's grandparents. How ackward!!!

We are headed out of town now. Have a great weekend everybody!

 

[disneydudette1]

I could scream!! And now my DIL wants to put a 4" cross on the bodice!!! I told her too big...of course now she wants a different organza!!!! The most expensive material! 2 weeks before the Christening!

Garry....awful lot of drunks out there!!!

Barb...share that recipe with all of us! I used to have one that you would dump a quart of rainbow sherbert in and 7 up or ginger ale but I forget the rest of it...sorry Sandy.

Nobody will be around this weekend...I will get a lot done then.

Krista great to hear from you more often! Keep it up!

Take care those of you who are left! And those who aren't!

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Whew, finally reached the end of the postings. Jeeze, you guys sure keep up well. I only worked 12.5 hours today. Yippee. I'm on call now thru Monday morning. Hope to get to sleep soon as I know of 3 cases already for tomorrow morning.
Well, Yea Sandy!
Barb, my Dad started using pay pal years ago. He's very careful and I haven't heard anything negative about it. Oh, and please post that recipe here!
Garry, I'd like to be one of those drunken idiots right NOW but darn, I'm on call.
Good to hear from Krista and Diana.
Denine, give us a "trip report" for Jerry's trial when it's done.
Susan, have a great trip.
Sally, don't wait too long to get diagnosis and treatment going. It's so hard to reverse things.
Julie, sorry to hear about the migraines. Breath~~~
Bonnie, I'd have gone out and bought a dress, made a few alterations, ripped out the tag and called it done, by now! (You are a patient and loving grandma.)
I forgot someone. I just know I did. (Sorry )
I'm off to bed soon. XXOO Lori

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

I went to the doctor Wed and I don't really believe what he told me. It wasn't my doctor but the guy that takes his calls when he is overbooked. He said I could be having a reaction to the medication I was on two weeks ago for the tooth infection plus I am probably having a reaction to Ibuprofen. I have been taking ibuprofen for ages and never had a reaction and I had only taken a couple in the last two weeks. He didn't check my ears and they are so stopped up I feel like I am hearing under water. My nose is so stopped up I can't breathe very good and I have a cough....I think I may have a sinsus infection. He is the same one that put me on a high blood pressure medicine that I had a reaction too. ...plus I don't have high blood pressure. He gave me 50 mg of benadryl and told me to take 50 mg more in 5 hr and 25 mg every 3-4 hr. Well the first l25 mg about knocked me for a loop so I quit taking it. My throat didn't swell shut anymore and I quit itching. I will take it again if it starts in again. I still don't feel good and if I am not better by Monday I will go but will insist I see my doctor.

 

[wildernessgirl]

Mom, sorry to hear about you not feeling well. I sure hope that you will get better soon and get the right doctor to prescribe you something that works! Keep us posted!

Lori, you go girl! Keep working those hours, get the extra money, and book ALL OF US a vacation! Between you and Garry, I think that you two have worked every hour of every day for the past few weeks. Keep smiling and after you call hours, have a few drinks!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie, just take a couple of breaths and smile. Your dress for Olivia will be gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the finished product! I'll be here during the weekend to keep the board going. I have a baby shower to go to for my cousin on Sunday, but I will be posting in the evenings.

Barb, the 10 day cruise is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! I know that disney is the MOST expensive cruise line for families, but I think 12,000 for a family of 5 is WAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much!!!! We would be booking for a family of 5 too then, and I don't think unless we win the lottery it will ever happen!!!!! Reunion cruise here we come!!!!!!!!!!!! Which week are you going? The 16th or 23rd? Maybe the two cruise groups could meet somewhere between sailings? How about a parking lot tailgate party? Which catagory did you book?

Get a load of this, the other day I was checking our answering machine messages and there was one from a DVC person. She said that I had inquired about the DVC on the disney cruise back in April!!!!!!! I let Garry hear the message and he just started laughing and then said to Makenzie and the Big Guy..."see guys, mom SAID she was going to the store but she went on Mickey's boat!"

Hey Sandy, Pampered Chef had a recipe for a punch-like drink. All it is a lemonade and ginger ale (you can make it wil sprite or 7 up too) with raspberries or strawberries floating in it. Tip...... freeze the fruit before you put it in and they keep the drink cool. It isn't really punch....... but it is very refreshing and real good too. I'm not a big punch drinker, but I will look into some of my punch recipes.

I just found a cruise I would have liked to go on this Oct. 6th on Carnival Cruise Line for scrapbookers. $462.75 for Ocean view cabins for double occupancy. Rates include port charges and government fees, group T-Shirts. onboard gratuities, document delivery and group private functions. This covers everything except your alcohol and soda beverages on board.

Sail Away and Cocktail party, Rotating crop parties, free scrapbooking classes, on board layout contest, Group beach party and good bye party.

Deposit was to be paid before 6/l5 so it is a little late to sign up.

The ship started in Galveston, Tx, had fun day at sea, Cozumel, mx, Calica Mexico, fun day at sea, back to Galveston...6 day cruise It is a breast cancer awareness month.

Every other cruise for scrapbookers was well over $l000

 

[Mickey02]
