I got my corned beef & cabbage in the crockpot this morning. I have to say, it smells awful. Evidentally there's something in the spice packed I don't like. I hope it tastes better than it smells.

What are you guys serving your Irish Soda Bread with? A lot of people seem to serve it with butter & jam. I was thinking I'd serve it plain w/ dinner, but I obviously have no idea what I'm doing. We've never had that either. What do you guys think?

 

[tarheelmjfan]

don't know if this pic is allowed.....but here we go

Great pic! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait for a new ride. Hope it's not as rough as BTTF.

THF: I'm having a Disney wedding in either June or July of 2009



Barb has to give me some hair tips and pics......

The WDW weddings are beautiful. Have you chosen a location yet? I know you must be really excited already.

As a side note, My DS says that when he gets married he wants the ceremony to be held on the balcony at Hard Rock Cafe. Naturally, I explained that what he wants won't matter much.

It's in the treasure room on the left.

Thanks for the tip. I hope I can remember it on our next visit. I'd love to see it.

The storm missed us completely and it was a beautiful day today.

I'm glad you dodged the bullet.

It's lonely and scary in here all alone. . . .I'm gonna start going through all your stuff. . . . did you guys move and leave me here?

While you're going through my stuff, would you mind cleaning up the mess a bit?

We had a crane come down in the city this weekend and it is really bad . I think 4 people are dead and well 4 are still missing . It kind of makes you think as we go into the city often with our kids and anything can happen .

I read about that. It's very sad & scary.

Before I forget..... Janet, I started reading your cruise trip report, & had to stop. My DH & I love crusing above all vacations. Our DS doesn't like them at all. We've decided no more cruises, until he's no longer vacationing with us. We're both having serious withdrawals. Your report made me want to cry. I was showing my DH your pics as I read, & he thought I was subjecting him to cruel & unusual punishment too.

A couple comments on what I did read...... I'm glad you liked our beautiful city. You should try driving over the Skyway Bridge. We have a much bigger party area than Channelside. Ybor City, connected to Channelside by Streetcar is like CW's much bigger, big brother.

Your family dresses up quite nicely. I saw pics of the 1st two nights on the ship, & you all looked great.

I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, Penny!!!
What will you be doing?

 

[yankeepenny]

A lot of companies now do the in house filing electronically.
I wil be doing that. I was involved with that at the last couple of places I worked at, they switched to paperless systems.
It is modern, fast and efficient document storage.
it is part time, which is what i wanted, and hopefully will become permanent after 6 months.

Okay, so I have to tell you about my morning. The reason why I was chasing my tail. Joshua's class was having a "green party" today. We were all supposed to donate green food.

I got a bug up my butt and decided to make these pot 'o gold cupcakes that came in my last Family Fun friggin email. http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50057

Let me just say that the whole "rainbow made out of Airheads" was a gigantic PITA. It took forever to cut those suckers in strips and then stick them together to form a rainbow. I spent most of yesterday afternoon doing it while I was watching the race.

I made the cupcakes, tinted the frosting green, stuck the rainbows on them and a gold wrapped chocolate. I was very proud of myself. I even put one on a party plate and took a picture to show you guys what a good job I did.

Not bad huh?

I got up this morning and started making breakfast. I looked at the cupcakes in my Tupperware saver and...

Yeah, the moisture in the frosting caused the Airheads to dissolve, I guess. What a sticky mess. I quick made the most pathetic looking Rice Krispie treats EVER...

The marshmallow stuff was dark green, but by the time I mixed it with the cereal it just looked sickly. At that point, I didn't care and Joshua got to carry the snot colored treats to class. He was fine with it and is happy that all the sticky goo cupcakes are all his to enjoy. Whatever.

Next time I have a super mom thought, I'm just going to bang my head against the wall until it leaves.

Afternoon everyone!

2 more days left of school!

Looking forward to the weekend, don't know what I'm doing yet.....but it will be something.



Congrats Penny!!!!!!

Tricia: Those are great treats! Yum!

THF: We are looking at the Yacht Club Gazebo and Ariel's for the Reception. Undecided about the Dessert Party tho.

 

[Metro West]

I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Penny!

 

[Cadillac_Dreamgirl]

Congrats on the job.......

Happy green day everybody!!

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Good afternoon everyone!!!

Yearbook is practically done!! Just one tech. problem but no biggie

Tricia: Who cares about the color...the taste is what matters and I'm sure they were yummy!! Your son should be quite hyper today though after a lot of school sweets! To be honest, I probably would have eaten the cupcakes too! They looked absolutely delicious even with melted rainbows. I must say though, I was quite impressed with the Rainbows. Definitely looks like it took a lot of time!

Penny: CONGRATS & GOOD LUCK!!!

As far as my sis's wedding goes...does anyone have a Minnie or Mickey costume?? Disney gets about $800 (i think around there) for a half hour with the characters!! So, I repeat, anyone have a costume??

Well, eating some dinner now...then off to teach swim lessons and aqua aerobics! Oh, if only it were warm enough to be doing this outside instead of indoors 'sigh'

 

[ky07]

I want a Universal wedding

 

[tlinus]

I want a Universal wedding

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Ever since I knew I was going to universal I have had the addiction to come online and learn and see more about the parks. I wake up thinking about how i need to come online LOL......

there is nothing to see anymore I dont think.
I know what its like, but i cant help it ..........

Help!

You've come to the right place. We're all about vacations around here.

If anyone wants to see pics of the new house, here they are

http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w35/damoporto/new house/

Beautiful home!

tomorrow, i post in orange all day long.........





have errands to do.
have not packed one item yet.

i still have tomorrow



bbl

Are you packed yet???

Damo your house looks very nice. I have family and very dear friends who live in Myrtle Beach . What area of SC are you in? They all LOVE it in MB . I wish I could go live there all year round but it is just too far for us to leave the family we have here.

Myrtle Beach is great! I can imagine you really miss those relatives & friends & need to visit often.

Evening all...just waiting for the NCAA Tournament Selection show to start!

March Madness is upon us yet again!

My rant for the day.... I hate when they release the brackets. They seem incapable of making each bracket equally difficult. Some teams consistently have an easier road.

Hi Honey....I'm home......

Miss me???

You been somewhere?




j/k.... You know I luv ya.

.....working Saturdays...Actually, it didn't bother me till recently. I've been working Saturdays for at least 22 years...very 'normal' for me. Since the fall, Bubba has soccer activites on Saturday mornings...so, I try to arrange my schedule to attend...doesn't always work, and he understands, but I try (Luckily Saturdays are my slowest day..... yeah, i said 'slowest'...dont' ask why...I don't know, but works for me! )

How's that possible? You must have started working, when you were 2 or 3.

I'm guessing probably everyone....businesses, the congregation.... St. Pat's day is big partying....with Holy week and eating certain foods...

I'm sure the 'practicing' Catholics here will enlighten more.....

Thanks for the explanation. I suppose that could create a conflict.

I believe it. I always wonder how true that daytime talk stuff is.....anything for a buck...but to go on national tv and claim to be a child molestor...uh....no thanks!

I know what you mean. This guy lives in small town NC, where everyone pretty much knows everyone else. I'm sure most people know he's never been in prison.

Now you have NO excuse for not visiting us on YOUR vacation

I'll be visiting with you guys as we travel to & from our destination.

I can tell you the sole reason we choose DCL this time... Bubba. DH & I did RCL (just the 2 of us) five years ago and wanted to do another cruise in the near future. Figured Bubba would be about 9.5 at the time we'd go, so, we thought the best ship to keep a 9 yr old entertained would be DCL. We liked that they had so much for the kids and we get a beeper when he wants to leave. Also, the separate pools and Palo and beaches for adults....we thought, once in a lifetime. He'll never be 9 again...so the next cruise we take will probably be Carnival or another line and we'll get a nicer room for half the money! Oh, and did I mention I got the Disney Visa card in 2005 to start accumulating reward points toward Bubba's part of the cruise?? Only putting $147 out of our pocket for HIS part of the cruise....

Makes sense! Kenny's at the age where the kids activities don't appeal to him, & the adult only venues are off limits. I'm sure that has a lot to do with why we wouldn't choose DCL.

Not regular bread...beer bread....different thing. I actually have a beer bread mix here that I got from Tastefully Simple. I think I have a spare if you want it.....I probably won't make the one i have, let alone TWO! Not sure if you can use 'lite' beer...but, why not? Lemme know if you want....

Sure, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the kind offer.

Sounds interesting....when is it again? Or rather, when is your review and pix? If it's something to enjoy, have at it! Hope your back 'holds out' long enough for you to enjoy it

I'll have to learn how to post pics 1st.

It feels like spring here. Brad had to get the tractor out and mow.

Those pics are so great! They remind me of riding the tractor with dad, when I was young. It's such a thrill for the little ones.

i see that dogwood tree in the background blooming.... Ours here barely have 'buds' on them

Is that a Dogwood? I couldn't tell. Dogwoods are my favorite tree.

Tammie - She has a friend at a salon and they have her coming in there to do some. Also just letting her friends know about it. I know 3 different people that own salons so I will be working something out with them to go in once every couple of weeks and having people sign up ahead of time for appointments. I am also going to try to work something out with our school system to go in and set up in the different buildings lounges so that the teachers can do it during their planning period and let the school have a percentage. Also will be checking in to setting up in the school my oldest daughter teaches at. It is amazing just telling people that you have it how quickly you pick up customers. My neighbors are already waiting for me to get my machine.

Sounds like a money maker for sure.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Miss damo...they are beautiful! Good to see color...everyone seems to go with 'light' colors in the south. You are doing a fabulous job furnishing it......

That would be my house. White walls & cream carpet.

Quick by

Slow down Mr. There's kids living in this neighborhood.

I got some great news tonight. My parents are coming down the end of April!

It's so great that you're excited about they're visit. I hope my DS feels the same, when I go knocking.

Good night homies
thinking of turning in early cause this sore throat thing is really aggervating plus pretty tired

Hope your feeling better today.

Oh, dh painted my toenails last night

I'm impressed! Did he do a good job on them?

Well, DH got up not feeling well this morning.....we did finish the actual wiring, but we are running a bigger wire and plug-in for the buck-booster. DH has jury duty in the morning...maybe he will not get picked and will have it finished when I get off work tomorrow. My last day to tan is Tuesday and I will probably not go since Zack has a track meet--it would be nice to be able to tan in it Tuesday night.....

Will I discover he finished the installation when I read further, or will he be stuck doing jury duty?

Ok. . .it's not funny about what happened to all your hard work. . .that's really not funny. . . but your STORY is

I wonder if your ds told his classmates to enjoy their snot krispie treats
