Good Night And Sweet Dreams Homies

 

[RAPstar]

I have GOT to visit Dallas and Houston sometime in my life. I was looking at the touristy websites for both places last year and told my hubby we need to go. There are so many cool things to do and see! And if you're going to be in THE BEST BROADWAY MUSICAL EVUH, I have no excuse to delay it.

I really need to make time to read again. The kids keep my busy enough that I think I've only read six books cover to cover in the past eight years. I've never actually read a Harry Potter book. I know, shocking. I've liked the movies, but a movie never quite gives you the same experience. If I'm going to REALLY fully enjoy the new HP area of IoA, I need to lock myself up, ignore the rest of the world, and read away. That would be heavenly.... Until the guilt set in.

I'll let you know if I get in (auditions are next Feb, runs April something to May 6). Cross you're fingers that I get Toby, cross more to get me Sweeney!! I just finished my first bok since at least Sept. of last year ("Snuff" by Chuck Palahniuk). It was a quick read, only 197 pages. I'm planning a big trip in 2010 for HP/RRR/first parentless trip to WDW. If all goes well that is.....I got demoted today.

Now what is there in Dallas and Houston to see?????????????????

San Antoino, yes, but Dallas & Houston. All I know of is traffic!

Well, besides me , there's the site of the JFK assassination, art museums, a big fashion center. There was an AFI film festival here the past 2 years. George Michael lives here occasionally since his BF does. There's.........the State Fair if you come in the fall. That's all I can think of. Don't know about Houston tho, never did anything there

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Have a great day!

 

[GemmaPixie]

Hey guys!!! Im home (but only until Friday unfortunately!). How is everyone?? Any big news? xxxxxxxx

 

[GemmaPixie]

HUH?? I got my first tag!! "Proud Redhead".....but im not a redhead?? Im blonde??

 

[outlander]

Morning all!

Boy am I up early!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday

 

[Metro West]

HUH?? I got my first tag!! "Proud Redhead".....but im not a redhead?? Im blonde??

Gemma...welcome back. We are the redheaded stepchildren of the DIS so the Tag Fairy graced us with the "Proud Redhead" tags.

Good Morning Homies

 

[RVGal]

HUH?? I got my first tag!! "Proud Redhead".....but im not a redhead?? Im blonde??

Gemma is BACK!

Remember how we used to joke that we were the redheaded step children of the DIS? That may not be a popular phrase where you are. When someone says they are the "redheaded step child", they are saying that they are the overlooked one in a group. The Tag Fairy flitted through our thread one night a couple of months ago and most of the regular people got the "Proud Redhead" tag.

Welcome home. We've missed you.

 

[keishashadow]

Yes I will do a TR but must admit I don't know what a pre TR is

im with u as to intent/purpose too? however, it makes the author feel good...go for it it's all good

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Have a great day!

why thank you, and also to you...we might break 60 tomorrow, least it's not raining (yet)...how's the weather in ur neck of the woods?

HUH?? I got my first tag!! "Proud Redhead".....but im not a redhead?? Im blonde??

Still warm and dry...we need some rain BADLY! Send some of your rain down here!

I love pre-tripies...they are for those of us who can't contain our excitement so packing tips and all the extra planning details are fun to read...Wendys are the greatest!

 

[Tinker-tude]

Now what is there in Dallas and Houston to see?????????????????

San Antoino, yes, but Dallas & Houston. All I know of is traffic!

They both have thriving art communities and performing groups. One of the best men's choruses in the world (in my opinion), the Turtle Creek Chorale, is from just outside Dallas. Both have great ballet, symphony, opera, theater, and art. And the shopping is GREAT, according to friends who've lived in both areas. Isn't there a Six Flags near Houston? There's also a Sea World near one of them, isn't there? And there's ANDY. What more do we need to plan a visit?

I'll let you know if I get in (auditions are next Feb, runs April something to May 6). Cross you're fingers that I get Toby, cross more to get me Sweeney!! I just finished my first bok since at least Sept. of last year ("Snuff" by Chuck Palahniuk). It was a quick read, only 197 pages. I'm planning a big trip in 2010 for HP/RRR/first parentless trip to WDW. If all goes well that is.....I got demoted today.

Fingers, toes, legs, arms, and eyes crossed! Do I have to KEEP them crossed until February? That will be awkward trying to drive. I'll cross them again when you tell us the audition dates, if that's okay. Sorry about the demotion.... It'll work out. You'll either get a better job or a raise again. Or you can put a cap out and sing in the park.

Well, besides me , there's the site of the JFK assassination, art museums, a big fashion center. There was an AFI film festival here the past 2 years. George Michael lives here occasionally since his BF does. There's.........the State Fair if you come in the fall. That's all I can think of. Don't know about Houston tho, never did anything there

Aha! More stuff! See, Lori? Texas is a happenin' place! Where is the NASA space center? Isn't it in/near Dallas? I want to see the Kennedy space center in FL when the boys are a little older. We really liked the NASA place in Huntsville, AL wen we lived closeby.

Well, gotta jump in the shower. Woke up too late this morning to do it earlier, and Jared's school day ends at 10:00 today. It's the last day of school and it's only two hours long. Why have it at all? At least we'll all be up and energized so we can find some fun books at the library before the crowds get there. Jonathan won't be screaming for a nap!

from last dec trip to MCO

i'd be happy to package it all up for you...we started planting our garden a few weeks ago and the tomato plants have almost been forced up out of the ground due to water level rising hope we don't lose them

 

[macraven]

i have to go back and do a ketchup on my homies here.


you get to the point of where do i start to respond.

don't want to overlook anyone.



i quit my job and have lots of time now to play on the dis.
but, i started to clean up the dump here and that has occupied my time.


will be back after i get back from curves.

missed you redheaded homies.....
and outlander who we need to campaign for the tag like us.

i think she would be a great redhead!

Yes, there are some trip reports up on that board. Todd did the AP preview of the Simpsons. Mike just got back from a trip. So did a couple of people who have joined the thread since you were last here.

I'm assuming "gutted" is a bad thing? Damn, I've got to get an Irish/American phrase book one of these days.

Well crossing everything for you! Sorry bout the demotion.

I was just joking! Of course there is you, and the museums. The JFK museum is really amazing. The state fair also includes the OU/UT game every year. I huge fair but not something I would want to do.

Hey guys!!! Im home (but only until Friday unfortunately!). How is everyone?? Any big news? xxxxxxxx

WELCOME HOME GEMMA! We missed you? How long are you going to be home? How was University? Tell us what all you have been up to.

Dallas has the Six Flags. Been to many times. NASA is at Houston. There is also Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. If you have never been it is all worth visiting. Just don't go in the summer. Way to hot!

That is Katie from the Horton Hears a Who movie. In the movie, all the kids adore Horton, so when he discovers that there is a tiny world on his clover flower, they all pretend to have one too. Katie declares her clover, "On my world, everyone is a pony. They all eat rainbows and poop butterflies." That's where the box in my sig comes from.

Thanks, we wanted to see Horton but decided to wait till video. Sounds cute!
