October 19th Cruisers again and again...

[Denine]

We got to meet Princess Brooke!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brooke is absolutely adorable! I got to hold her for a long time. I can't believe Kaleigh was ever that small, but I know she was and not that long ago.

Julie looks quite well for having a baby 2 weeks ago.

Kaleigh and the kids enjoyed playing together.

I want a wine chat, I want a wine chat!!!!!! Quote from Susan, however, I was silently chanting with her. How about Saturday whether or not we open gifts? Anyone game? It has been way too long.

Brag, brag, brag, Denine, you don't play fair. You know the rest of us can't see Brooke!

 

[Schrolls]

I'm in for Saturday. Name the time and I'll open the wine!! Anyone else?????

 

[wildernessgirl]

It was great getting together with Denine and Jerry and Kaleigh! Makenzie was still talking about her friends and the next time she will get to see them! I'm so forgetful, I forgot to take pictures when they were here, I guess we will have to get together again so I can.

I think tomorrow I will start on the closets in the kids rooms. They really need to be cleaned out! If not tomorrow, the next day. It will take me a few days to go through all the stuff in them! Garry and I have decided to lay carpet in our basement! We are going to do it ourselves! We watched enough trading spaces to figure out how to lay the carpet squares! It is the new stuff that has the padding and everything all in one. The squares just "link" together. Then we can have all you come for a visit!

Brooke and The Big Guy have doctor's appointments on Thursday. Brooke for her two week check up and Garry for his three year check up! At least no one gets a shot this time around!

I'm in for the wine chat too! Just give a time and I will be there!

Well gonna go! Will check back oin later!

P.S. Denine, it tasted like it smelled! LOL!

That you guys are NORMAL people

Sandy-Either you are delusional or you have lost it! Normal? Us? Did you forget about the sugar fight? LOL!!!

I am in for a Saturday wine chat for sure! I hope all can make it! I actually have a bottle of wine in the house...I don't know why but I do!

I want to hold Brooke!!! Not fair...major whining going on here in frigid NJ.

I still think of the car....I keep thinking though I can get one for about 2000 less with less mileage even though it would be 2 years older. I want to check out the insurance rates ...in NJ they could add up to almost another car payment.

 

[Denine]

Of course I am bragging about holding Brooke. Aunts are allowed to brag. I forgot to bring our camara to take pictures too.

Julie: I am guessing that Garry ate it all then

I don't know about Saturday for a wine chat. I have to work this weekend. You can all go ahead without me.

Sandy: NORMAL? Are you sure you are talking about the right people?

It is all of 8 degrees outside. It is sunny though.

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Ahhhhhg!!! I can't keep up!!!!!!

Did someone mention wine???


I'll try to borrow a laptop to use in the mountains this Sat. night.
Hi to all!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Yippee, a wine chat it is. I know there is a time difference so how about 6:00 our time and 8:00 your time? Or 6:30/8:30? Anyone??

Bonnie, did you forget? I did not participate in the sugar throwing. Therefore, I am normal. Hmmmm, I wonder about the rest of you there? Maybe I better not share with my brother. Thanks for setting me straight everyone.

Julie, you will love a finished basement. Just remember not to eventually use it for a storage room. That is what we did and now are having to clean it all out for the home theater.

Lori, hope you get that laptop to participate in the wine chat. Wouldn't know what to do without you!

I need to make a dessert for Friday night. Any good recipes that don't call for me to make a pie crust from scratch?? See, I could have more bragging rights over you guys if you provide the recipe.

 

[disneydudette1]

Key Lime Pie:
Low fat Keebler's graham cracker crust

Mix
1 small package of sugar free lime jello follow package directions
add
2 6 oz no fat key lime yogurt
fold in
1 container of sugar free cool whip

put in crust and chill at least 5 hours...very easy and very tasty.
You can use any flavor jello as long as you have the same flavor yogurt.

 

[Schrolls]

8:00 or 8:30 work for me. Someone else be the deciding vote.

Bonnie - Your key lime pie recipe reminds me of my marguarita pie recipe:

1 frozen marguarita concentrate mix (do not thaw)
1 can fat free eagle brand milk
1 12 oz. tub of fat free cool whip

Mix together on high and spread into a fat free graham cracker cruct. Freeze for 4 hours and serve. Very good on a hot summer day.


OK guys, cover me. I'm going in --- to homework H-E-"double hockey sticks"!!

Later!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Thanks for the recipes. You guys are the best. I will definitely make one of those.

Krista, can you make it Saturday? Barb, Sally??

 

[Schrolls]

Good Morning. It's going to be a long day. I took a decongestant about 1:00am and I have been fully awake since about 2:30. Well, at least I can breathe!

I may try to go to the gym this evening and then sit in the steam room. Hopefully, that will work out and make me feel a bit better and get some sleep tonight.

Barb, we never got a detailed trip report from your trip to WDW. Tell us all about it. I know you are already working on more Disney with your points, but tell us how excited everyone was and if you'd go through with a long secret like that again.

Gotta go dry my hair and get ready for work.

Love ya!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Hello Everyone, finally getting some time to snoop in on your thread. Hope everyone is doing well.

Now mom since I read the board, that means I can put my input for the dessert on Friday. I choose Oatie's strawberry dessert, but I know you can't do that because of the mess and everyone in our family will drop the dessert, so then my second choice is those yummy (I can't think of what they are called, must be brain dead from working so hard) Anyway the ingredients are yellow cake mix, marshmellows, peanuts, and the caramel topping!!!!
PLEASE!!!! Just an idea.

Take care everyone. Hope everyone is doing great.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi, Heidi, gosh almighty. Too bad you read the thread from time to time. Did I ask for your input?? No......! You are right. Too many of you drop the strawberry dessert so I can't make that. The other is salted nut roll. Hmmm, sounds good too. I want to make a couple of different kinds so that is a thought. But, I am making Grandma Van Horn's choc. chip bars and I thought one of the key lime desserts.

 

[disneydudette1]

Looks like Saturday may be a go although we haven't heard from everyone yet...Laurie, Mom, Barb, Krista (unless she has a big dinner party she's cooking for).
Jeanne-See if Booby can figure out how to get you registered for AIM
Patti alias Patty do you have AIM?

Well-only three more weekdays before I return to work...I can't wait but at the same time I can wait...when the boss is away the children will play apparently.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Good morning Bonnie. We just crossed posted. Booby? Is that a pet name for Bobby? Sorry, just had to say something about Booby. Sounds like you already hit that wine bottle. Now don't go and edit your post and change it. People will think I am crazy.

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!!

Went to Curves this morning and I am dragging! Isn't exercising suppose to make you feel all energetic??

I am finally getting over the depression of leaving Disney. On to the next trip!!

Christmas day was so fun. We had bought letters that spelled out Disney Trip Dec 26 2004 and wrapped them up in boxes then made the girls sit and unscramble them. It was fun watching them. They were really surprised. Neither one had any idea. Once we reached Disney and checked it we were taken back by the beauty of Beach Club Villa's. We spent the day buying our annual passes and getting settled. We had tickets that night for the Candlelite Processional and dinner at Coral Reef. My Mom and Dad were due to arrive while we were at dinner. Once we got back around 11:00 and they still weren't there I started worrying. During the week we also went to a 2 charater breakfasts and Cirque du Soleil. It was so much fun. I love being able to walk to Epcot!! Had such a great time I came home and bought more DVC points!!

I am hoping to book our cruise today. DVC closes at 5:30 which is 3:30 my time and I am just getting off of work. Today they stay open until 7:30 that is 5:30 my time so I will be rushing home to get it booked! Weeeeeeeeee

Weekend nights we are always gone. I stay pretty close to home during the week so Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights are Fun Fun Fun nights....

Mom, Tiffany, Missy and Crissy (my neice) are going to see Cats this weekend. I am really excited. Have no idea what it is about but I have heard it is good. We are taking some friends out to dinner and a movie on Friday. And I am going to start cleaning my craft room I want to start painting it. So I will be in and out this weekend.

Barb

 

[Denine]

Barb: It was fun reading about your Christmas gift.

I don't have AIM either, at least I don't think I do.

I have another doctor appointment scheduled for Monday morning. We will see what he says this time.

I have all the Christmas decorations down. They just need to be put up in the attic. I need Jerry's help for that since the attic is above the garage.

I started packing Kaleigh's clothes for the next WDW trip in 2 weeks.

Nothing else going on.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hey Heidi. Don't you know how to get people on IM that don't have AOL? That is what AIM is. Can you post how to do it? From what I hear it is fairly easy. I will skip the choc chip bars and make your salted nut rolls, that is if I can find peanut butter chips. Graci and I ran over to SuperTarget and they were out.

Are we opening gifts Saturday? I am confused.

Barb, it was nice to hear about the trip. The word scramble was a terrific idea!!

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Two posts in as many days!!!

If we can get enough people together for this Saturday, could we do gifts then stick around for wine/rootbeer chat?
If no gifts, then definately a chat with those who can come.
Julie, our fearless leader, make a command decision here.
