Reading, seeing and hearing Part 3

[Grammyof2]

Does anyone know if Horsey made it home safe and sound last night?

We had terrible storms here and I know that alot of flights were delayed/cancelled out of Philly yesterday afternoon and evening.

Ash - please don't eat anymore for an hour or 2. Geez girl, I am just looking out for your health

 

[UtahMama]

Good Morning ALL Y'all!

Why is it that the best sleep is had between the time of my snooze alarms?

5 more days according to my handy dandy countdown calander that my kids fight over every morning!

Still worried aboot (I spelled that wrong on purpose) Ernesto. We were in the mutha land last year at Hurricane Ophelia and didnt notice anything. Kept getting frantic phone calls from histerical family and friends, though. Started "messing" with them after a while... He He

Ernesto (what little is left of it) will be in Canada visiting YAK by the time you get to Orlando. He was a pretty poor excuse for a hurricane anyway

Minnie_Moo, your daughter is 200 miles from the ocean, not much danger from hurricanes there, except for maybe the U of Miami Hurricanes

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Morning All!

Jami - finished your TR late last night. Excellent read! I loved it!

MM - We've done two fireworks cruises. Illuminations on Breathless and MK on a pontoon boat - pre-wishes. Both were great. I'd recommend it anytime!

Tink - great to hear Dick is coming home today! Keep us updated!

I had a rude awakening this morning. We are at my parents house and they live in a very small quiet sleepy town. Unless it's 6:10AM. When the dog two doors down starts to howl and bark and wake up the whole frickin (sorry Frick) town. I like dogs, I really do but if this happens tomorrow I'll need a gun! For the dog, not me. And those are hard to find up here!

Hey to everyone!

Have a great Wednesday!

JW - can you try to keep it out of here. We don't want him!
Especially the last weekend before school starts.

I still have a few mickey-stickered 99 cent poncho's, I guess I'll have to break them out for the weekend!

Morning!

MinnieMoo -- we went once during the Christmas-NYE week. To pick up my sister from the CP. What a zoo! This was pre Dis (for me) so we were not prepared for the magnitude of the crush.

All I can say is this -- if you plan to be in a park for the evening festivities and fireworks, get there early, and DON"T LEAVE. We made the mistake of enjoying the day at Epcot on NYE, then leaving, with the thought that we'd come back for fireworks. The park was filled to capacity and they turned us away, even though we were stamped and had already been there. Boo.

So pick a park (I might go w/ Epicot just because there's more ROOM to move?) and make ADR's to give yourself a shelter from the storm, and take it slow.

TINK --- I have been thinking of you, and offering prayers as well. Good news that Dick is on his way home. Snazzy jammies and all. I hope your counters are doing ok too.

HORSEY -- Hope you made it home safe and sound! Tried to call you back right after I missed your call from DME, but it said "call can not be completed as dialed." Double boo. Welcome back to reality, sweetheart. Are the kiddos starting school?


Conor went back to school today. Looking far too tall. What the heck has happened to my baybeeeeeeee? He was so excited. Second grade. The big time. Piper starts tomorrow and I may weep. Hold me.

 

[Minnie]

MinnieMoo - The company I work for is closed the week between Xmas & NewYears and we've always considered giving it a go. But the crowds Have a ton of fun if you go. I've heard the NYE fireworks are awesome!

Fantastic News - We might just might get a FREE trip to Florida the 1st weekend in Dec (4 day trip) for our annual company meeting. Fingers crossed everyone pretty please!!!!!

 

[Frickles]

Tink....I haven't had a sec to read back far enough to see what is going on with Dick, but I'll surely be thinking about y'all!!!

 

[AshClan]

Okay, SOI is still on Monday. Where the Frick (NOF) was Haley yesterday???

Didn't want to call Horsey this morning, because I know they were expected to get in very late last night. If you check in, sweetie, hope all went well on the boo hoo trip home. (Kim, sorry, but it might have been my fault you couldn't reach her. I called her right after she had left the msg. for you!)

That 1 oz of cheese has held me pretty well this morning, people, so no making fun. Protein in the morning is a MUST. I am, however, going to nuke a couple of mini-quiches right now for my a.m. snack.

I love looking at the tickers counting down each day! UM, can't wait til mine says what yours does!!! Lucky Duck.

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

Morning everyone:

Tink ~ still sending good thoughts, prayers, and pixie dust your way. I'm so glad to hear that Dick will be coming home today. Chin up baby!

Horsey ~ I hope you are able to check in today and that you have all made it home safe and sound!!! You were missed terribly!

Grammy ~ poppyseed. Just sayin.

UM ~ I agree, that storm will be long gone, you should be safe. I, on the other hand, continue to monitor the satellite images of Africa. 30 days!!!!!

Hello to everyone else. Please don't feel slighted. Just really busy!!!! Thinking good thoughts about everyone . . .

 

[horsegirl]

Drive by posting to say Magical day to you all!

Tinkinadrink. Susan called yesterday as we were on DME and told me about Knit. I am thinking about both of you and hoping he does infact come home today. Sounds like this merry band of cuties gave you tons of support. My best to Dick.

Got in at 1:30 am on schedule, and got the chillens off to first day of school when they awoke at 9. Yeah, who cares if they missed their first hour of day one! We had the time of our lives, truly. Cannot wait to do it again in a month.

Welcome to Utah and Twinkie! I haven't read the thread but heard you joined on here. HOWDY!

Pongo, baby, 296 days or so left of Newleywedom, baby!

to you all.

 

[jw50]

Welcome home Horsey

 

[AshClan]

We missed ya big time. So happy you had a magical trip.

Even if you don't do a trippie ('cuz I know it's a lot of work, but really you should 'cuz you are such a wonderful writer), you need to give us more detailed scoop. And some pictures, too.

Okay, I just want to go on record to say that I have eaten a few candy corns today. Not SB friendly. I know. At this point, I am only trying to lose to make up for all the weight I'm going to gain during the "free dining"! So I figure I have to lose about 20 lbs., maybe 25. Think I can do that in 30 days?!

ASH! For the love of staleness, are they last year's candycorns? You must be desparate. Are you on a diet?

I do not know if I will do a trippie. I am dull....but I did take lots of pixies, so maybe a trippie through the eyes of pluto! I will see....
And thanks for all the sweetness my boston babe! Less than a month till EE darling! You will be screamin'! and I will be holding your hand~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Hay, HorsieGirl!!!! SOOO glad you're back!

I leave in 5 days and cant wait! Already packed and re-packed.

I used to read this puppy 650 pages ago when it was book reviews, now it'll be a home-made cook book!

Cant wait to hear boutyer trip! Unpack and rest, though.

Thanks for the welcome!

Ash - Concerning the diet plan - someone who will remain unnamed -mentioned the GOAL weight before the dining plan was 110.

So using a calculator and my fingers and toes and borrowing fingers from my DH, I did a few Algebra calculations (as if I know Algebra). To figure out what it would take for moi to be at 110 Lbs. It was a complicated equation that required 13 1/2 pages of scrap paper, 6 AA batteries, and 2 mechanical pencils(plus refills). And 18 11/16 hours. To come to this conclusion.

My starting weight -30 days till arrival = I would have to have been ded 13 days ago to even be close.

Or

Have a torsoectomy and just sew my head onto my legs. And that was if Amy was available for a seamtress, cause I did want the whipstitches to look good.

Which leads to this hypothesis - Upon arrival I will be either the weight I am today or 5 Lbs more. The reason is that Algebra makes me hungry, but then again what doesn't make me hungry.

So there you have it. Weight loss according to Grammy 101. And now I want candy corn. Yummy, candy corn. Hayley and I LOVE that and jellybeans, which are also not SB friendly.

So instead of this dribble lets do this

You are right Grammy. It is not worth the struggle. I will do what I can, while still allowing myself candy corn (NOT from last year, for staleness sake!!) on occasion. And you'll all just have to deal with me as is.

Horsey, I need to hear more about the kiddies and HM and TOT. My "big" boys are total weenies when it comes to ghosts. I evidently traumatized them for life in 1998 by taking them on HM. And last year my oldest freaked out on TOT. Not for the drops. Those were fine. The ghosts. Freaked him out. What a weenie.

Grammy!!! You are the funniest person God ever made!!! I love this and I love you! Do you hear me!?!?!?

Susan, eat the candy corn. Another cheese cube, even.

110? That was seventh grade, I think.
Going to Disney that thin will cause violent stomach distress upon encounter with Free Dining.

Ramp UP people. Prepare for the challenge.

Now, shopping? Hair? Those can, and frankly should, be addressed before the meet. Mine, not yours. Cause you people look fabulous inside and out!!!

I want to thank you Vikings for your kind words on my trip report. You made it so much fun to keep going and your words this week have warmed my heart.

I am the lucky one.....

 

[brandt79]

Amy ~ Don't put me on ignore, pretty please I remembered seeing you do that once, I think it must've been on a TR I was reading, and thought how clever it was

Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all that

I'm sending good thoughts the way of your good friend for tomorrow. That would be very cool.
