Pickle part II

[Panotchr]

Kelly, where do you find that? Is capsules? A brand name you like? I want to take something when Tracy and I got for our pickles trip to Disney (the first pickles girls trip!!!!) - my immune system is shot (thanks to all the years with munchkins and MS), so need some protection while traveling. Thanks!

I don't have a specific brand, but the echinacea has to have the goldenseal in it for it to be the most effective.

I only had 4 kids out today. Better than the eight yesterday.

Hope everybody is feeling good. Kathy on your way????

 

[Minnie&Nana]

WHAT?!?!?! Who is watching tv? I won't be watching tv!! I have a date with Mickey.

Not to watch, silly!! To listen to the Disney music while getting ready in the mornin' and check out the weather on the Disney Resort channel!!!

Make note - will be taking loads of pics of Tracy...which means I don't have to be any.

We leave tonight, sweetie. Off in about an hour for my pedi, nails, eye brows, etc. Then going to the bank and having lunch with Andy before we go get Mark to go to the airport.

Oh, that just gave me chills!! I am so excited, I can barely stand it!!!! Okay,tell me once more...your flight departs at what time and your feet hit the ground in Orlando when??

I like offer to take pics of folks too...as long as I don; have to be in one..you've no idea what a rotten pic I take, esp in WDW for some odd reason!

(p.s. I do all the same the day before I go too - nails, pedi and eyebrows - a must!)

Christine ~ no way, you HAVE to be in some pics. Everyone looks great next to Mickey

Hey, I think I'm going to have to try to do my nails at least before I go ~ I never do anything for myself.

Kathy ~ Disney & Mickey await ~ see you in 10 days!!!

 

[Piglets Mommy]

Hi Pickles!!!
Have a great trip, Kathy!!!!
I'm here, I'm reading, but half of my posts disappear, so I am giving up on long responses.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

HAVE A MAGICAL VISIT WITH MICKEY ~ KATHY & MARK!!!!

We will miss you!! See ya in 10 days!!

 

[Panotchr]

I am so excited. As long as one of us is there or almost there it is wonderful. I can't wait to hear all about it.

Kathy.. I hope you travel safely. We'll miss you but we will live vicariously through you!!!

This morning we have a pickle with Mickey! Trusting their flight left and arrived reasonably on time.

This morning Kathy posted they will have breakfast at 8:05 at the Crystal Palace - not that's commitment after such a late arrival!! They sure have a packed 4 nights, but no one will enjoy it more than Kathy & Mark...can you just picture them this morning wearing their Tigger and Eeyore ears?? TOO CUTE!!!

We (Mia, Sophia & I) are off to Almanace Crossing to try new car seats for Sophia - time to turn around and see the world!! Winder what she will think of her new seating arrangement? Don't think Mia will buy one today - she is still deciding (researching for weeks - finding non-toxic or less toxic car seats), but she'd better choose one quick, Sophia barely fits in the one now!

Hope everyone has a great Saturday. Chris and Paul feeling better? Special hug to our Tracy.

 

[Panotchr]

I hope they made it to the Crystal Palace. I haven't had b-fast there before, but I have had dinner. I love the "Arnold Palmer" ice tea they serve there. Maybe that should be on our list for next summer.

I can make reservations on November 7 for our trip this summer. Won't be too much longer now!

Christine: Good luck on that carseat search! Hope you find a good one. They are so important!!

Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday. We have Lily's 9th b-day party tomorrow afternoon and Baylie has to dance with her performing company at a festival today. It is busy, busy.

Yes, I was thinking about Kathy & Mark this AM when I woke up and their visit with Pooh and the Gang.

Have fun Christine on your day out

Paul is MUCH better ~ Heather, what about Chris?

Hi Pickles!!!
Have a great trip, Kathy!!!!

Heather ~ I know what you mean about disappearing ~ I have sat here and typed responses to multiple posts and then it kicks me off as the system timed out So frustrating!!

I hope they made it to the Crystal Palace. I haven't had b-fast there before, but I have had dinner. I love the "Arnold Palmer" ice tea they serve there. Maybe that should be on our list for next summer.

I STILL trying to get into CP ~ B, L or D!! I have several great ADRs, but wanted this one too. Oh well, there's always the next visit

to Lily! Have fun at the festival today ~ good luck to Baylie.

It's such a beautiful day here in PA! I've done the grocery shopping, next up is cleaning and packing for Disney!!

Everyone have a MAGICAL day! (just had to say that as one of our pickles is with the mouse!)

Hi Tracy

[Piglets Mommy]

Hi Pickles!!!!
Thanks for asking about Chris....that must have been one of the disapearing posts....he is fine...it was a quick moving thing. He was better by dinner that night. I really think it may have just been allergy related.

Janet, it's funny that you mentioned trying to get into CP...that is the one I have had no problems with at all....it's the Chef Mickey's dinner that is getting me! Right now I have a 10:30 AM breakfast, but that really doesn't work for us, as the kids are early risers, and need to eat as soon as they get up. I have been looking either for a dinner or earlier breakfast every day, and keep getting CP at any time imaginable as an alternative! Hopefully you will be able to get your CP, and I can get my CM!

Hope all my Pickles are having a great weekend!!

Heather~so glad Chris is better!

Funny ~ my kids like to sleep in (that's why this trip will be my first to make rope drop in the parks!) I have been able to get Chef Mickey's for lunch if I wanted but we decided to pass it up (we did this 2 years ago, and I loved it but it was a little loud for my sis). We had dinner before the P&P party ~ so very crowded. I think my problem is the Halloween party since it runs 3 times that week ~ the restaurants are packed around the MK. But I will keep trying until I leave and also check when I'm in the park. Maybe I will get a little pixie dust! Here's a some for your CM ressie!

(I got out my Disney T-shirts today and can't decide which ones to pack? Should I do all???)

[Panotchr]

Pack them all!!! You never know how you might feel on any given day. You might like Tink for the day or Mickey or Minnie or you might just plain feel Goofy

[LuvvsMickey]

Sorry I've been MIA. Been dealing with some major crap and life changing decisions. We were worried about a layoff for Mark. Well, the gauntlet came down and it was worse than that. They had a meeting on Thursday. Mark's management position has been eliminated. He had two options; a permanent layoff, or a day time position working with the staff that he was previously in charge of. We were not expecting this AT ALL. Talk about a kick in the teeth for Mark. He's made that company so much money this year, it's ridiculous. No such thing as loyalty in the workplace anymore. He's lost his profit sharing, investment contribution plan, and a whole bunch of other perks. He's also lost 14 hours a week and is now making less than half of what he was making before.

It has been a rough few days, trying to absorb this and figure out where to go from here. He took this coming week off to try and get his head back on straight. I feel so awful for him. Starting over at 51 years old...with nothing. This whole world is in a sad, sad state of affairs. God help us all.

I can't wait for this trip and if something were to happen that Christine is not able to go, I will be going solo! Damn straight.

 

[Piglets Mommy]

Janet...YES, pack them all!

Tracy, I'm so sorry to hear about Mark's job. That really stinks! Espescially, cause you posted last wqeek that you thought everything would be fine. I'm glad you are still able to go to Disney. At least that gives you something to look forward to.

Janet and I had an impromptu Pickle Meet yesterday! I was having a LOUSY weekend, and decided to get out of the house to get groceries. I took martina, and stopped by the crocs outlet with Martina, because I had heard they were having a sale. Well, who was there, but Janet?!?! It was so cool, and a huge pick me up on a rotten day!

I hope all my Pickles have a great week!
(although mine isn't starting out so great...take a look at the time!!!)

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Tracy...I am so sorry. As awful as this is, at least Mark still had a job...but I'm a cockeyed optimist and try find something positive in any situation. As I've shared privately - as much as I know you feel the need to get away, I will certainly understand if it seems best to hold on to that money for a need that may arise. Because we are mothers we all know sometimes our needs must be set aside for awhile for the greater help of our family. Holding you all very near in heart and prayer.

Heather and Janet - can I say J E A L O U S??? What a neat thing to happen!

Heather, hope you were able to go back to sleep.

Stay well, my pickle friends!

 

[Janet B]

Trac~I am so sorry and I have to say that this really sucks. There is no loyalty in the work place anymore. That’s long gone. I think Mark is wise to take this week to try to adsorb what has happened and so you two can try to deal with the future. I’m glad you have the Disney trip with Christine to focus on right now. Just know we are ALWAYS there for you ~

Heather ~ it was so amazing to see you (you know it crossed my mind that sometime we might actually run into each other at the outlets since we both are relatively close but it happened quicker than I thought!) So great to meet Martina as well (pickles ... she's beautiful) ... my friend and I ended up getting some food, wish I thought to mention it to you! Glad I was able to lift your spirits

Sorry you you up at all hours ... ya know, last night I was up in the early hours of the morning too ... just too much on my mind, the trip, work, school!! I just need to R E L A X!!

Christine ~ how I wish you (and the other pickles) lived closer ...

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Thanks guys. Yes it stinks and could have been worse - no job at all. Perhaps once we peel ourselves from the ceiling and the shock wears off, we can be more appreciative of that fact. Until then, it really SUCKS.

I am going on this WDW trip regardless. We are also going to visit our friends in New York for Thanksgiving. That definitely put a smile on our faces.
