Happy Birthday to another Katie!!!!!

My Katie is 13 today!! I hear you on keeping them small for just another day Oh - and she is going to Outback for her birthday dinner as well ........ that is so weird - in a good way!!!!

Well you guys are confusing me! I knew someone had a daughter (and may have even come up with the name Katie) who was turning thirteen this month (because my son is turning 13 a month later), but didn't realize there were TWO of you! Congrats and happy birthday to both!

And just coincindentally, if Eric had been a girl, he also would have been a Katie! (Well, Kaitlyn actually, but we would have called him Katie!)
Everyone have a great day. Supposed to be sunny and 69 today. Yeah, I really want to go sit in my crummy office at work and watch everyone outside my window go by on the beautiful bike trail along the river.

so it's just pineapple ice cream? hmm....if I ever make up my mind to whether go to HHN or take me cousin's daughter to WDW, if I choose the latter I might be tempted to try it. I could do both, but I would have to rent a car, and want to wait til I'm 25 so I don't have to pay extra fees and whatnot.

actually, it's probably ice milk/soft serve...real ice cream has to have a certain % of fat in it i'm not a fan of soft serve-yeech...finally tried a dole float a couple years ago...cannot believe what i was missing

Happy Birthday to another Katie!!!!!

13 is a very big day! Hope her day & dinner went swell sorry to hear you're feeling so crappy before your trip ; do you do the earplane gizmos? I swear by them, have issues & always would get so clogged up I couldn't hear well for a couple days, no problem once i started using them...plop them in before takeoff & until you reach cruising altitude..then repeat.

I took Daniel to the doctor yesterday because of the vomiting. Well, really because he was so lethargic. I was worried about dehydration,etc. It was the doctor that said, "His throat is a little red. Probably better check it." I didn't have any clue his throat was bothering him until the swab tested positive for strep.

He is eating a popcicle now. Fingers crossed it stays down this time.

The RV show went okay. Lots of people, lots of lookers, some good prospects, but no buyers. Now we'll hold our breath for the next few weeks and hope that some of those prospects pan out.

call them, they expect it ; track them down like the dogs (customers) they are...no mercy .

sorry to hear your lil guys feeling poorly again

I spent the evening mowing the grass so after the shower I wanted something fast. I had Hot Pockets...very good!

another thing i've never eaten, do have them stocked in the fridge for the youngins...i like stouffers frozen pizza bread...not too shabby

Morning everyone........

We did SciFi and we had a great time....came home with glow in the dark souvy cup and glow ice cube for Bubba....food was, mediocre. We did LeCellier last January...it was awesome...we loved it! (AND, getting in w/o an ADR just 'made' the whole thing!)

For those who missed what happened with Bubba.... Hope everyone has a great Tuesday......

this bitter, old, catholic, blue collar chick had a fantastic day yesteday working the polls ; long day -yet, oh, so satisfying

tennis match went well, today:
* hauling patio stone with oldest DS
* getting roots done
* packing DSs suitcase

off to the car mechanic.


i just love days like this

a very good tuesday morning homies

be very nice to the mechanic, borrow some of lori's cookies

marci - i 2nd lori's suggestions for the newbie - CM & CP; although if she's staying off sight; why bother eating all the meals in Disney ; go back to room in afternoon & get grub somewhere nice for 1/2 the $

tammy - i probably will wind up cancelling @ least 1/2 of my ADRs, don't think we're picking up the DP. Will probably just eat @ U 2 days & some places outside "the world" once i figure out when HHN is (note doubles are booked via virtue of having 2 DVC ressies ; shameful...i'll go to heck for sure) I will cancel as soon as i know what U is doing;

Sat: CM or CP for dinner
Sun: LTT or CP for dinner
Mon: Boma or CP for dinner
Tue: LeCellier or CP for dinner
Wed: Boma or CP for lunch

You should try them...there are lots of varieties. I had meatball and maranara last night...yum!

Morning.

Daniel is still sick. I have another call into the doctor's office to see if there is anything else we can do. I am very, very, very tired of vomit laundry.

I know. TMI. I'm leaving.

 

[loribell]

Janet I think you are going to get tired of CP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAIT!

Ask if there is a suppository for nausea they can call in for him. Poor little guy has got to be getting dehydrated.

 

[bubba's mom]

Going to be in skool all day for Dinosaur Day with the littlest bean. Not too sure how well that is going to go with my nerves shot about this trip on Sunday.........but The saving fact is that on Wednesdays the skool bell rings at 2:15 instead of 3:15

Hang in there....go, go, go crazy this week...it's HUMP day already!! Weekend and your trip will be here before ya know it ...THEN you can relax all ya want!!

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY KBEAN!!!

sorry to hear you're feeling so crappy before your trip ; do you do the earplane gizmos? I swear by them, have issues & always would get so clogged up I couldn't hear well for a couple days, no problem once i started using them...plop them in before takeoff & until you reach cruising altitude..then repeat.

I thought you were going to say you left the earplugs in the WHOLE flight

...wait!

this bitter, old, catholic, blue collar chick had a fantastic day yesteday working the polls ; long day -yet, oh, so satisfying

So, does that mean things went the way you wanted? Had a good day and no crabby, rude people???

btw...good luck with the roots today...let's hope she wrote down the last formula and doesn't screw it up this time

Is puttin' Daniel on the porch an option?? No need for stapler...I don't think he'll go far..... I hope he is better soon....Are you doing Pedialyte popcicles or anything like that??

happy birthday to katie.

Sorry I'm at work and can't post any fun birthday stuff....but Happy Birthday to Mary's Katie!

i told my cousin i was wearing blue jeans to the funeral.
he hung up on me.

ok, so i wear a dress.
i'm just a rebel.

(i know you aren't home to read this....)

Wear the dress.....and matching flipflops

On the first note - what would you recommend for my friend who's going to WDW for the first (and probably only) time?
Garden Grill
Sci-Fi (along with others, we were not impressed here but went back nearly every trip)
Ohana
50's Prime Time Cafe
Whispering Canyon

Which of these would you choose, and what other ideas do you have for her?

And as far as the soccer stuff, am I the only one who thinks this is wrong for kids this age? Sounds a bit intense for high school, and yes, I have a high school soccer player! Glad to hear he's doing better. Eric deals with asthma too, but luckily seems to be outgrowing it. Hope it ends up the same way for Ryan.

Honestly...I'm no help when it comes to Disney dining...we've only eaten at a few places there.... Now...Universal restaurants...different story....

Actually, the suicide (& Indian) runs for soccer aren't bad...it's to build endurance and at a young age, they can handle it. They have to learn to pace themselves to build endurance and "jog" and "sprint" ...just like in a game. It's odd how you might think it's too much for them...but, most of them will run it at the end of practice and then they all RUN to the parents and their cars or run around and play...... Ah...to be young, fit and in shape again...

 

[marciemi]

Thanks for the advice guys. I guess I didn't think of CM because we've never eaten there. I probably thought it was more of a younger kids' place. I did talk about CP with her, but she wasn't really interested in the Pooh characters. I guess they feel if they have to do one character meal, it might as well have Mickey. I thought GG might be a bit more "subdued" and more enjoyable for the older kids.

I talked through Sci-Fi, but she didn't really sound interested in that one. She was interested in one that had a lot of waiter interaction. I've done 50's Prime Time and told her about it, but I was wondering if Whispering Canyon might be even more fun, although we've never done it.

Janet - they are staying off site and plan to do most of their meals there, but would like to try just a couple Disney meals. That's why I'm trying to get the right ones for them if they only do one or two. Some of this may be severely limited by what's even available when we call on Saturday, less than 3 months out!

Tricia - hang in there! Hopefully they can help him out if you call today. The nausea sounds surprising to me. Is there a chance it could be a reaction to the antibiotics? I know we had to stop giving Matt Augmentin after a couple times dealing with that because his stomach just couldn't handle it.

 

[RVGal]

I've got him sipping Gatorade and he gets a popcicle every now and then. He is still peeing, so he isn't too dehydrated. I just want him to be able to keep something down, dammit!

Okay Chef Mickeys will be very difficult, probably impossible to get at 3 months out. WCC is a great option for lots of waiter interaction and very good food. The thing with Crystal Palace is the food is good, much better in my opinion than GG and you serve yourself rather than them bringing a small dish to your table. We have eaten at GG a couple of times but it would be my last choice of all that has been mentioned. Maybe you can show her a menu of CP. They don't have to interact with the characters if they don't want to.



Lawrence I think you can click on one of our countdowns and it will take you to their site. I believe it is v50.net.

Lori's right...that's the address....

bubba is fine....bein' bubba

 

[RVGal]

I only have a minute, but I wanted to give you a quick update.

The nurse called back and told me to bring Daniel in. They gave him a shot of the antibiotic for strep (since he couldn't keep the oral meds down) and we have suppositories for the nausea. Let's hope things improve from here.

I'm off to get Joshua. His neurologist appointment is this afternoon. I hope I will have some answers, or at least a better understanding, after we see her.

Glad to hear he is ok and atleast you only have 1 my 2 are now wanting another dog and think they talked DW into it

Good luck!! Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of it for Daniel.... Hope you get the answers you are lookin' for w/ neurologist....hope it wasn't a waste of time/money

another dog?? Bad enough fighting off 1 dog for Bubba.... He wants one...Well...I think we ALL want one, but we just aren't home enough... and I know who will end up being the walker & scooper
Man... I miss my cat

 

[bubba's mom]

Lawrence,
Did you ever figure out your car situation?? Did you try those sites?

 

[ky07]

Lawrence,
Did you ever figure out your car situation?? Did you try those sites?

Those guys at the car lot were being butt heads and wouldn't fix it so we wound up using our spending money to put a down payment on another car from a diffrent car lot and its a older car and runs better than the one we had and also half the price we were going to pay for the other car but I guess thats what you get when you get a used car

Happy Wednesday all ...

It's a lovely sunny day here ... hopefully all the snow we got over the past 4 days will melt soon

Tricia - hope Daniel feels better soon!

Brab - good to hear Bubba is being Bubba

once i figure out when HHN is

Check the dates from last year ... odds are this years dates will most likely be the same days of the week - at least the days have been the same over the past couple of years (if I'm wrong Metro and Mac will correct me I'm sure )

Glad to hear he is ok and atleast you only have 1 my 2 are now wanting another dog and think they talked DW into it

... we had one - then took in a second when our friend was looking for a new home for one of her three shepherds, and when that same friend's other female shepherd had puppies, Lee just had to have one ... as he said "they're so cute"
