That is so cool!!! Dh and I love watching him on Food Network.

his show is the only one my father will watch on food network.. so when my dad found out we are going to see him he told me to tell Guy that and to try to get a picture with him..... if I get one, maybe I'll post it on here! wish me luck! I hope if we get to the casino early maybe we'll see guy out on the casino floor gambling or something! woohoo!

well here on the MD eastern shore.......

there seem to be some management shifts being made and I think might be in the running for a keyholder position!!!(please everyone cross your fingers for me!!!)

And DBF has decided to go GUARD. (Army National Guard) He is signing his papers on wednesday I believe and prolly leaving in january for his 4month training (boot camp, and AIT) he'll hopefully be back in early may!!!
It will most likely be great for him and his future but I am very .... I know it is me just being selfish but I want him to be safe. I just hope his unit doesn't get called!!!!!!!

Aww Katie! Sending lots of Pixie Dust your way! i would be too! He is doing an amazing thing, send him my best!

I want to play! This Labor Day weekend I'm taking the wife and son to Hilton Head. We are staying at the Disney resort. This is our last fling for summer. On a more serious note for today we have to take my son to the orthopedic office. He has something that they call a growth plate issue, it effects his legs. I feel so sorry for him right now he had to quit soccer for the time being and he absolutly loves soccer. Playing causes too much pain. He had plan on being on the Jv team at school this year.

I found another use for my Mickey-head cookie cutter, Mickey-shaped biscuits.

DH just got his motorcycle license.

DS8 just tackled his first ball carrier stopping a touchdown.

DD5 just cheered in her first football game.

DS2 ("my baby") just turned 3 this past weekend.

DisDog just ate my wooden blinds yesterday.

Hmm... work is slow, which is why I'm on the Dis in the middle of the day. This weekend DH decided he could afford to be gone from work an extra day next month, so we added a night to our CS free dining trip. I had to book it at rack rate because that's all that was available. Today I looked and found an AP rate - saved $50 for the night!! Now of course I'm considering joining an Illuminations cruise or doing MNSSHP and spending more than the $$ I saved...

In real life, we're seriously considering adopting another fur baby - ours could use a buddy We found 1 we thought would be a good fit, but another family thought the same first. Glad he found a home!!

We are prepping for Saturday night at the GCH to watch our friend run the Disneyland Half Marathon. We'll also be cheering on the WISH team - I heard they were running in their lime green shirts . (Any other DISers reading this - let me know if you are running - PM me and we'll make sure to look for you and cheer! We'll be on the DTD route with a 3 yr old Tinkerbell on our shoulders.)

I am waiting for my book to be edited, homeschooling my three kiddos, wrapping soap part-time and preparing to speak at a women's retreat in a little over a month. Oh! And I am doing laundry . . . I am always doing laundry!

You wrap soap? I make soap (as a hobby - but potentially as a business)! Just put up about 11 batches and have some more planned for next week. Have to get ready for Christmas! Is there a soap makers forum on the DIS?

Other than those things, I am optomistically going on job interviews (had one Friday and still am waiting to hear from ABC about the job their recruiter asked me to apply for), after being laid off my a major Disney sponsor corporation back in January. I'm happy for all the time I've had with my kids this year, since I know I'll find the right job, soon. My primary field is medical imaging (went to work for a vendor 8 years ago) and due to changing regulations, hospitals aren't hiring in my field, so coming back to the technical realm has been hard. I thought I might stay in the corporate realm instead of going back, so I started applying with Disney - which is just down the street - 1 mile away. Getting an interview with Disney is extremely difficult, but I've had two!

One of my best friends was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer about 2 months ago - he goes for another ct scan (and some "pet" scan) tomorrow to see if the chemo is holding it or (cross your fingers) making it recede. Honestly, that's all we can think about these days. He and his wife have been my best friends for about 11 years now and I just can't imagine this happening to a nicer couple - and he's only 44. ok - enough bad news ... please cross your fingers for some good news! We'll find out the results of the scans next week ... on their anniversary - ugh.

PET/CTscans are probably the best detections for that, so he's in good hands. There are some amazing hospitals that perform those in your state. That's part of my field of practice, so I can give you some assurance there. Best of luck to all of you.

I'm preparing for a new school year. I teach fifth grade and went in a few days last week and will this week to get my classroom together. It's always such an exhausting thing to do and I am finally almost done.

We stayed there years ago and LOVED it!

Good luck to your DS. My DD broke her growth plate in her right arm last year and it really stunk for her....but she healed up well.

just went on a job interview today. I have a pretty good job (work from home when i want, great pay, good benefits, i work remotely, travel on occassion and help market cool thermal imaging and night vision equipment to save soldiers' lives etc.).....but the challenge is gone and not sure where the company is heading. So I started putting the word out through friends, old coworkers etc. I've been talking to this company for a month now, finally interviewed today for a Director of Marketing position which is a step up for me. It sounds promising and go back tomorrow for round 2. We will see where it goes. wish me luck.

FIRST thing i did- looked on the new job's website and saw they do quite a few tradeshows in Orlando- including one coming up at the Contemporary! I get to go to Orlando at least once a year on business, so at least I won't lose that perk.

DS got his first tooth finally at 10 months!

DD starting Kindergarten next week. DS turns 2 tomorrow...where did all the time go??

I know what you mean, my DD turned 2 in April - she was just a baby yesterday she needs to slow down

Other then that, my husband just received PCS orders so now we have to move to Bangor, WA. Coming from SC it's going to be one heck of a drive for us. Not to mention one big change for us as far as climate and time change.

I am more upset we will be so far from Disney then anything, we are use to being 3-6 hours away We moved from Georgia to SC and I thought that was bad!

 

[DVCsince02]

Good luck Katie & Michelle!!!!

DD starting Kindergarten next week. DS turns 2 tomorrow...where did all the time go??

I'm in the same boat. DD started kindergarten last week and I cried for hours. Our son is 2.5. I feel your pain too. It's not so much starting school but where did the time go?
Hugs to you!

 

[sjbvan]

All of the sudden DD turned into such a big girl! Now she wants to wear jewelry and picks out her own clothes. DS just doesn't need me like he used to, don't get me wrong I am happy they are healthy, well adjusted children, but there are the times I would like to be needed a little bit! I drop DD off at camp and she doesn't even turn to say goodbye to me anymore! But I would rather it be this way, there are so many parents in this world who don't have it this good!

 

[simonkodousek]

Yesterday I tried on LOTS of clothes and picked out two outfits (one for warm weather, one for cool weather) for school starting tomorrow... ughh.

And today I am working on redesigning and cleaning my room.

I am such a Will Truman!

 

[mjtm610]

Me???
My new phase is I am starting a major diet tomorrow. I say tomorrow because I have been under medical care for the past 4+ years and I had to wait to get my medical approval. While I was sick I couldn't exercise, or be very active at all....add to the fact that they gave me all these medicines that caused "some weight gain". So now I have to get back into my fighting shape.
I have my daughter's wedding in WDW next June and I can't look like I looked at my last daughters wedding!!!!
