our secret green club? Part 4a

[stinkerbelle's mom]

Is she painting the carpet? She could be a designer on trading spaces!

Nope just painting the walls and carpeting the floors. I Hildie & Doug though, they're so cool.

You guys posted 650 times While I was gone for 2 days! Went to the beachhouse for the weekend. It was fun! My friend and I had this HUGE upstairs, WITH a kitchen, master bathroom, den and walk in closet. We had to fight off al the adults who wanted our room, oh an it had a balcony, OCEANFRONT! And before we got there, we went to the store, and got 6 huge bags of candy, like tyhe halloween ones, where theses 600 pieces of candy in each. In 2 days we ate all but 2 bags. We had candy and Dr.Pepper and Pepsi for dinner. Mmmmm. It was lots of fun!

There is no way to catch up this many posts, so I'm going to sum this up a bit:

Anyone who needs prayers, hugs or pixie dust. There's plenty for you. Get better, or hope everything works out.

Anyone out of town, or on vacation or anything fun happening... Have fun!! Congrads!

Anyone who needs anything, let me know. I'm here.

Think that sums it up. Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend! And if you didn't, and theres always more to come!


I got to go unpack a bit, I'll be back soon.

Welcome back, sounds like you had lots of fun. I just have to say, I would've killed my kids if they ate nothing but 4 bags of candy & soda.

I know I know a very late reply. I am still here....sometimes. LOL. And you are right it isn't as magical WHEN YOU ARE WORKING but when you are not working it is just as magical. I chose to work at World of Disney in DTD so I didn't have to go into the parks so much....but I still do. I don't come on very much anymore cuz I am always in one of the parks and when I am not in a park I am very tired . When I do work it is work, but it is fun work, I get to make the pixie dust! Its great to see the look in a childs eyes when you have just created that magical moment for them. And even the adults when they walk into the store and see its massive size, the look around in awe. Just before they start cursing about being lost LOL. I do love it down here and so does my family.

Cool!

Uhm here is a stupid lil CDN ....
Puter had a minor "slip' AND
brain HAD a MAJOR brain slip


I had a chart of peeps screen names -- related to their "real" names and extra stuff.
PUTER gobbled it up (along with a few other files)
Brain had never really made a point of paying a lot of attention (ask John not 1 of my strong points)

SO if you could either PM me your stuff or just post here in case others are stupid like me, I would be eternally greatful

Mine's in my siggy. Sorry you lost your list & about having to get a coat. Hope mom came through with the payment.

What's the D for in your siggy? Cute joke! Welcome back to your Emily pic oo.

Well home from our crazy Sunday.

Cody had his first scrimmage today. He played pretty well and definately is the main defensemen. Unfortunately as we had thought we didn't have a goalie. We had hoped that the other team had an extra but they didn't so we drew numbers and threw one of the kids in the net no pads no goalie stick. So the outcome of the not kept score score wasn't what we would have liked but we probably only lost 9-0 or something like that. The good news was we had lots of shots on net and there was play on both sides of the ice which is a huge improvement from last year. These kids look to be better team players than the mix we had last year. It is amazing what one puck hog will do to a team. Then the boys went to a really cool birthday party at a rock gym that just opened here but it is not the typical rock gym. It had lots of ropes coarses and zip lines and lots of cool 8 y/o boy stuff. Probably won't be able to stay in business long but it was fun.

Hey mary how is the painting coming today. I lost steam on my project. So my house will be in a state of disrepair for a bit. That is the only way I'll get my husband to get painting. I got everything all ready and moved in the kitchen but it is all over the dining room. So hopefully after halloween we'll get painting.

Well got to go get the kiddos tucked in.

Almost finished the painting. Dh did the stairway, well he was tired, but you can see big streaks where he missed. Gonna kill him, he's gonna fix it torrow. He pulled up all the carpeting & is laying the Legato carpeting. I was working on the girls room today. Lots of stuff for the Goodwill. Didn't realize we all had so much clothes.

I'm not your average fella Hugh.

Now you're just asking for trouble!

 

[kaw1218]

Yes, it's a Hyundai. Mileage 24 in the city, 32 highway. It has three seats in the back, and the trunk was big enough for my mom's extra wide wheelchair. I don't know about hockey bags.

I have a Hyundia..and we love it!
I LOVE that blue color..a guy I work with has it, its pretty (try telling that to a big tough guy !)

Congrats!

oh, my DH is not allowed to paint! He messed up our old bedroom ceiling...Apparently one CAN mess up painting white on white!

You've got to read this TR. It's hysterical. This family is in Disney now and updates every night. First the DH writesd the report and later the DW usually corrects him in her own version. They are both hysterical!

No offense to you Walmart lovers, but I have to agree with everything on this guys blog. It just sucks going to Walmart now, and I always leave there feeling like I wasted my time. On the other hand I like Target, and don't mind browsing around the store. Heck the new one near my place has a Starbucks in it. Won't see that in a Walmart.
http://www.steve-olson.com/10-reasons-target-is-better-than-wal-mart/

I totally agree that W-Mart sucks, but since I can't afford Target or Publix, I obediently sumbit to the W-Mart conspiracy. I have found however that W-Mart's vary greatly from town to town and even within a large city. If you can find the lesser of the evils, its usually worth the drive.

Apparently I married his brother!

Mine's in my siggy. Sorry you lost your list & about having to get a coat. Hope mom came through with the payment.

Very very Very funny MARY!! Like yours was a problem NOT!

The coat -- nope I still shiver OR look like a fool when we go to church wearing a ski jacket over good clothes. I just try to sneak in then

Mom , paying? I'm sorry to report that no she did not come thru. Since today was the deadline (yup 45 days left now ) I had to swallow pride and ask John if I could use the American Express. That involves a hairdryer folks. It is too easy for me if I have 2 credit cards in my wallet so we keep one locked up as such in the freezer. So I paid and now gotta wait to get paid back. Only advanage to this is I don't owe to her.

I like your new siggy BTW

Hi Tot Boy! That yellow is hard to read dude!

Thanks for noticing Mary -- I thought I had gone blind
