Missy!Hi Lisa! No tomatoes here! But......check out my new TICKER!! YAY!!!!
is jumping at the thought of a side of Disney! 
: I plan to hit the entire park this go round and I am so happy...the Flower and Garden show was last year when we went but if you remeber we missed Epcot due to crowds. So, I am looking forward to seeing it this year...maybe since you are only a week from the end they will still have a lot of the flower scapes still set up. My first thing through the gates will be to send Danny on a stroll to get Soarin' FP's and Ashton and I will meet up with him there. 
I'm on page 13 right now, so I think the odds are in my favor to finish, but work likes to get busy in my last 30 min. for some reason!
We don't get much snow in AR, either...so I know how you feel. 
) since I've posted anything, consider this my official apology!
I really appreciate the fact that my computer screen is not splattered with rotten tomatoes or any other yucky substance.
For those of you who came over from my Stop Making Me Laugh trip report, HEY! 
And, we ran smack into a clearance rack of women's t-shirts. Yeah! Folded up amongst the t-shirts were Disney t-shirts. Guess how much they cost? Give up? $3.00! Guess it's back to billing. :headache:
Well, would you look at that? Right under myself (unless someone else posts as I type this!) And there goes my phone...
That is so funny that you drove through Little Rock in November on your way to Branson. I started my PTR in November in Branson! Now that is crazy! We always go up there for their Christmas festival, usually early in November, but this year we were actually up there over Thanksgiving.
Love that Mickey-luggage-all-packed-up-in-your-trunk photo!
I love your detail-oriented style! I also enjoyed looking at all your pictures, 1st Day drive, snow, etc.
Girl, I hate billing, too!
And I know what you are talking about on I-75 with those "We Bare All" Billboards. DH & I have always dreaded taking our kids past those signs. No one has asked yet, but I know it's in the near future!
Ocala is our 1st night destination! We like to get as close to WDW as we can on the 1st day. That way, we're almost there on the 2nd! Luckily, DH doesn't mind...since he's the driver!
We stayed at CBR in 2006 & 2007. Loved it! It was our 1st Mod. and we stayed in Jamaica both years. DD still asks to go back there.
Wow! For LA & not much snow, you sure know how to build a nice, round, snowman! He's perfect. (was.perfect) I agree with your DS about looking like Narnia. I just love snow-covered trees.
By the way, I've got distant family in south LA & a good friend at the University in Lafayette.
Can't wait for more!
This sounds exactly like my mother-in-law. My father-in-law just went on needle for his diabetes and still there is baked goods in the house. Last time we were there she sent us home with half a carrot cake, "cause if we didn't take it he would just eat it"
I just don't understand their way of thinking. I mean, the man has diabetes and she's keeping all that sweet stuff in the house. It's just two people in their house so there's no need to even have it there. When my dad was diagnosed with diabetes (after us kids were grown), my mother quit making sweets. She didn't even buy anything sweet for herself and keep it in the house. If she wanted something sugary, she ate it while at work.
Makes me wonder about them sometimes! But, then again, I wonder about a lot of stuff they do.
We've run into that a few times while out & it's always disconcerting. I'm sure most are not perverts, but you just never know! Which reminds me of a joke I heard on the radio this morning:
) Can you tell I'm not a big fan of my mother? 
It's very upsetting & scary, especially with my dad. 
to get you through. 
You did really good!! We were able to hit the clearance sale at Old Navy last month and got some great buys too. I picked the boys each up some zipped up hoodies for around $3.00 each! I figured in case it gets chilly while we are down there.
But..I was happy! DH felt a little left out that we couldn't find one for him too!!
Earlier that day, I found out that Hunter didn't complete a report for school and therefore didn't turn it in. I was having a stern talk with Hunter about that fact. He was trying to pass off some lame excuse to me which was upsetting me even more. I nearly had a cow right then and there. Hunter jumped up from the bar stool and yelled "what do I do?". "Grab towels!" I yelled back. So, we each went into a bathroom and started grabbing every towel we had....beach towels, bath towels and hand towels. I wade through the kitchen into the utility room and see that my washing machine has completely run over. The water in the utility room is at least 2 inches deep. I hit the knob to turn the washer off and start throwing down towels. Hunter's throwing down towels in the kitchen. It's just chaos at this point. I told Hunter to get my cell phone and call his daddy and ask him what we need to do.
I apologize that I haven't gotten an update posted as quickly as I had hoped I would. Life got in the way or should I say water got in the way.
Wednesday evening, John was working and Hunter and I had just gotten home from church. I put a load of clothes in the washer as I do each and every night.
You'll imagine my surprise when I turn around and see a lake of water coming into my kitchen!
Mind you, this is happening at almost 9:00 at night. John's working at a lady's house putting down ceramic tile while she is at the hospital. She's a nurse who works the night shift and sleeps during the day. Anyway, John told Hunter he doesn't have a key to this lady's house and he can't leave yet. He'll be home as soon as he can though.
In the meantime, I got the house phone to call my Mama who lives next door and said, as calmly as I could, "I've got an emergency. Can you bring as many towels as you can. My utility room and kitchen are flooded." She said she'd be there in just a minute.
I picked up the soaking wet towels and threw them into the utility room sink. The water was slowly working it's way under my dishwasher, refrigerator and stove. Hunter went outside to get the mop and mop bucket but I knew that a single mop wasn't going to do the job. Think Lisa think! I ran down the hall to the linen closet and got blankets and throws. If you ever have a water leak and need something to soak up water....toss a throw down and it'll suck it up big time.
Mama comes in and just says "Oh baby!" and starts doing what she can. My cell phone rings and Hunter goes to answer it. What happens next? You can probably imagine what happens when somebody goes running over a wet floor......he slips down and busts his butt. It looked just like something out of a comedy....he's trying to stand up and his socks are slipping on the wet floor and he's holding on to the edge of the cabinet reaching for the phone. It was just the laugh I needed. The phone call was John saying he was on his way home.
Once John got there, we had most, but not all, of the water soaked up except for what was under the appliances. He moved all those around and we soaked up the water and cleaned underneath. I was just plain old disgusted. I clean my house thoroughly every Saturday and am a stickler for a clean kitch and baathroom but what was found underneath my appliances was gross. Where does all that fuzz and grime come from?
So, after about 3 hours of cleaning, we finally had the water up, the floors wiped down, the cabinets wiped down (they had water all over them from us picking the towels up and putting them in our three sinks) and the appliances all back in place.
Yesterday, Mama took all of our towels, blankets and throws to a local washateria who had the commercial size washers and dryers. We had six huge black garbage bags of wet stuff! Thank goodness she did that! I love my Mama.
We still haven't hooked the washer back up. We plan on doing that this afternoon. I am hoping that it was just some fluke that it overflowed. If not, I'll either have to call in a repairman to fix it or just buy another washer.
Maybe I can get an installment up tonight or tomorrow!
when you said Hunter was trying to answer the phone and fell. I'm hopeful he didn't hurt himself, but I can just picture it in my brain and I just couldn't control myself.
