Lil Grumpster- My poor DH didnt want to get me the Dyson Vacuum , but it's really what I wanted this year. I 'm one of those cleaning/organizing people and have never had a good vacuum, I go through one carpy one per year. He did get me "other" things more befitting his lovely wife . I told him "Lil Grumpy wants to talk to ya for being a vacuum-giving-un-romantic-shmuck".
PLUS, I likey all the cool attachments!

Grammy- Eat somemore spiral cut ham and peacan pie with a big smile! Glad you had and are still having a great Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas to all of you crazy Vikings! Good to see you!

Congrats and jealousies as appropriate to the receivers of Dysons and diamonds and Wii's, oh my!

I am thrilled that I got a little doughnut speakery dock thingy for my iPod. Small and packable, but big sound! Yay! Also a Chris Daughtry cd ... yummy!

2 out of 3 kids were sick on Christmas Eve and Christmas, but the marvels of modern medicine shooed away their fever, aches and cough long enough to let them enjoy it, albeit in an abnormally low-key way for a child on Christmas.

Waiting for the 3rd to come down with it so we can move forward and PACK for our trip!!!



Hope you all had a joyous holiday!

Cheers,

I have begun the craziness that is called a trip report. I hope to complete it before it stinks like bad cheese or gets moved to TR hello

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

Good evening all,

I have been out all day. We just had to go to Build a Bear, and Best Buy today which lead to other stores. I am tired. I still am trying to clean up boxes and other stuff that was left on the floor. And the poor Christmas tree is losing needles fast now. I need UMA Dyson.

Kimmie-- sorry to here about the sick kiddies. Hope the third one is still okay. We went thought that just before Christmas.

Moo-- are you packed yet? You must be so excited.

Grammy-- hope your last party goes will and you don't eat to much that you bust. We want to here about that trip and don't want you sick either.

Lil'G-- I am sure you got your loving wife some chocolate too. What a trouble maker you are going to Wally World on Christmas eve.

Better get back to the laundry and cleaning, at least alittle more anyway. Before the kids go to bed.

I'm coming down with a #%@$&* cold! Plus, one of my friends ("A") called to say that she may not be able to go on our trip. She is dealing with the aftermath of her daughter's family being in a car accident on Christmas Eve.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt too badly, but the car was totaled. Thank God for car seats. A's daughter injured her shoulder, which will make it difficult for her to take care of the kids by herself (recently divorced). A is going to call on Friday after their doctor's visit to let us know whether she can go or not.

I know this all pales compared to Grammy's unexpected changes in plans for her anniversary trip, but it still bites! I will feel so bad if A has to miss this trip that has been planned for over a year.

OK, rant over.

Loved the first installment of your trip report, Grammy. It sure helped me put things into perspective today.

On a more positive note, I bought some red Disney Crocs on my way home from work tonight. And I'm doing some more packing tonight. I've barely started, Nab! I better get cracking.

Hey Moo,

Have you heard this one?

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Interrupting Cow

Inter...

MOOOOOOOO

 

[Minnie_Moo]

JOE!

Hi, stranger. Nice to "see" ya!! It was the Disney Crocs comment that got your attention, wasn't it?!

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need some cowbell with that joke!

 

[UtahMama]

Soooo, I'm the first to post this morning? What an hono(u)r!

MSO to all the MIA Vikings and Hangers-In-There and the Pop Ins




Grammy started "One Honey of an O" Trip Report if you are needing a good read.
This has been a paid advertisement for Grammyof2/Grampy Inc.


Gooooood Morning to all y'all! Guess who has a starring roll in a Whoopsidaisy sit-com........ME! It'll be a creative stretch for me, I'll be playing the role of the "Mother", stay tuned!

 

[Grammyof2]

Thanks UTM for the endorsement.

Now can someone explain to me how to change the title to show when you add a new chapter??? Anyone???

2nd shoutout of the day!

Do my smiles work yet?

 

[Minnie]

Grammy - Go back and click on edit on your very 1st post of your TR and it will allow you to change the title.

 

[kpk89]

Hey Moo,

Have you heard this one?

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Interrupting Cow

Inter...

MOOOOOOOO

Joe! That is my kidlets' all time favorite joke!!!! They tell it with all manner of animal. Except Sydney who can never get the timing right and her animal noise always comes well after the person has said "interrupting cow who?", gone for a coffee, drunk the coffee, and washed the cup.

In fact, after hearing it about twelve-teen times with different critters, our good friend Tom from Scotland said to her (insert thick Scottish brogue here) "Sydneh. Yeh can use any animal y'like, but tis all about the tay-min."

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...me likkkey...hum-dinger trippie's..so utahm..? ,saying
grammy's disney ad-"vent" -turrds' are full of spices? hot stuff!
oh, boy! ...me likkey ...juicy stuff too...however, not surprising...
after all, grammy is grammy!


before i forget...[which i do more often these days]....to our lil
cowgirl ... for a quickie recovery...where's
the heck is lou???bon??? & his chic-kin soup...minnie moo needs
your comfort measures!

over time & lil observations...2 lil mishaps..most lik-kie causes the sniffles..
#1..not enough sleeping...#2....overeating...esp. putting those 2 together..

caring...about one's community..? ....because we live there!...funny?
butty...it also it is family related....having "good people" around...effects
your children finding suitable mates..for your family to grow...though i
do not know anyone here as individual...one can see, what you all about..
and for the most part...taking active roles to provide positive outcomes..
so i laugh....when i read the interacting..esp. those with lessons...that i
learn from...when you all write your trippies... iam so impress on how
much you all have done for your families..yeah, i admitt it...i indeed-"coop'-
rated ..{ in-honor to the crazy but funny man-louie} your secrets...a great
example ..was all the things utah's mother of the year" acomplished! sure
hope those missin from here return..{soon}..and you all keep writin..
yes..it's greedy...well what do you expect from & guy...

sooooooo we need more spillin the guts out, here!

me> mostly very boring..but things seem to "happen" where ever i go..
..maybe cos of my wife's cooking? [ can you see her kickin me?]

2003...i don't see too well..& we're at dtd, to see santa during christmas..
i got all tangle up with rope barriers,,,tore down their displays...and knock
over several huge flower pots...what a mess! my wife told me later the elves
were not tooo happy.. ...ok..it was an accident...& my wife fault
..waiting in line to see santa...they were far back..but i turned around &
jordan was already up...see?..my wife wasn't very cute there..not keeping
me informed..so i was forced into scalin but came up that a lil bit short...
but ooohhhh...since that missy-hap..she loves re-telling that story...
every christmas...just wondering..if you all doing similar things? or missy-
haps...your not telling at disney ???

* however, it is true..my wife gets really if ever, i brings up any
of her...stunts...so the really good stuff must remain..a mystery.


ok,,nabbie...time getting awful short...but it so funny!.."you had to go to
build a bear???" us too! christmas eve....jordan made a hello kitty...she
her dollie's family...critters and all. and you mentioned chocolates?
..now whatever gave you that impression...

guess you saw...my preferences for repeating history? huh? let's see..
her engagment ring presentation.. .. while dating..i cook dinner ..once..
lets say..she has never let me again..now we're talking over 25 years ago...
however, you might have seen my preferences for compensating???
i took an angel food cake [ , of course] ..& added all the lil
..i could imagined...{ }...YOU, NABBY GIRL..should have
seen her face! so, i guess there are some traditions worth repeating...
some not...one christmas..i got one of those gene s. ( kiss doll)...and
wrote on it,..hint, hint!...she was NOT impressed...so it is a learning
process..and remembering those that works ( desired results) .

and , in that spirit...nabby g., i see your advice here very
valuable and supportative..


ladies!..recently...i seen those plastic sx..shows { yuk!}..for what
it worth,, my lil miss ma not be the 20 sex pot i met a long time
ago,,but i wouldn't want her any other way!...in many , {better}
ways ..she is more beautiful...i think those sx...are short
term..and dangerous..attention seeking in a negative way..oh,
it dosen't mean ...she dosen't have her moments..why you think
i keep a hidden supply of chocolates? *even when i am right..
funny how she is..quick to forget those times...



ok, nabby girl..you have early or late seating? the thing about early
seating ...means late shows...= an opportunity for your kids to meet
the "characters" in their shows' costumes...in case , that's important
to get...one of my suggestions after our firsat cruise..was for the
them to encouraged the professional actors/actresses to meet &
greet with the guests...as you know most are just begining careers,
so it a good experience for them to develop if later they are
sucessful...we always taken advantage for jordan to interact...

hey, utah's # 1 mommie..wanta try out your new dyson...over my
place...

Hello everyone. I am touching bases while I still have a few hits left in me.....

Background of MOI.....
We have been married almost 40 years with two good kids....both are married and both have two kids.....daughter has the oldest two....one is 17 and one is 15 ...... Our son has the two youngest grandkids...one is two and a half and the baby is 8 months.
We are also OWNED by a 2 year old dalmatian named Megara and the "gift" we are waiting for is an ice cream stick she ate a week ago yesterday....SHE NEEDS TO GIVE IT TO ME.......
I think I may of confused someone into thinking that Megara is a kid......well she is a brat that is for sure.....
We are having another family party on Saturday.......the last of the perpetual Christmas parties.......I ordered the finger rolls and will do the rest of the stuff tomorrow and into Saturday......if I can do it all fast......I love food but will try to do good and not eat alot of stuff.......My BS has been a wee bit high with this holiday upon us.........
I read Grammys trip report and it is fantastic.....come on over and read it....

Post Merry Christmas, Pre-New Year's Drive By!

Hi everyone!!!! Hope you are all having a great holiday season!

See you on the flip side!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

PSA, GKitty has posted a new chapter in her trippie to!

Hope everyone is well.

I was so tired last night, I took a nap on the couch and went to bed shortly after I woke up.
Taking tomorrow off work, WOOHOO!! Then next week will be a killer week to get me right back to tired, LOL.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Woo Hooty, Lil G - 500 posts!!!

My DD is picking up some sizzling rice soup for dinner at my favrite Chinese restaurant. It is basically a chicken soup with crispy rice instead of noodles and other good stuff added.

I stayed home most of the day to get rested up to try to knock this cold out before my trip. I ZICAMed all last night and today.

Grammy - Loving your trippie!

And GAKitty's new installment, too. I can really relate to being trapped by Spectro. It's not my favorite parade, but I may have to see it with my friends on this trip.

Uma! Keep us posted on your new Whoopsidaisy assignment!!! Be sure to post a link to make it EASY for us!

Evening all,

I just want my normal routine back. I am so tired. We have been doing so much running around I am beat.

Kids are still out next week but hubby goes back to work on the third. He is the reason that we are out so much. He has been looking at computers. That desk top is still acting up after hours with Microsoft.

Moo-- Sorry to here about our friend and her daughter. Hope everything works out for her and she can still make it. You can't catch a cold now or get sick you only have 2 days left.

Marita -- last night I passed out early too and didn't make it back. My house still is in order.

Lil'G-- We have late seating. We like it that way. See the shows first and the characters in the lobby. And we never have to rush back to the boat for dinner either. And we are the last off the boat on the last day. Our flight is always late so no need to rush. Are you telling us you are klutzy, and blaming it on your eye site. Wooohoooty on 500 post my friend.
