Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It looks like we're leaving the day after Christmas. Lord, I hope we're making the right decision!

I know the feeling ... Lee was accepted to law school, and we packed up and moved 500 miles away from our family and friends I had known for all my life ... we thought the same thing.

It's always scary leaving "comfortable" and moving to a whole new place - even if you've been to that place before. There are so many "what ifs" ... but if you don't go, you'll never know and you might wonder what would have happened if you did.

Because Lee didn't know until the last minute he was accepted to law school (he was on the waiting list and got the call the first day of classes that he was accepted), we had no place to live and I left a job I held for 15 years not knowing when or if I'd get a job. But within a week, we had an apartment on campus, I had a job at the University and everything worked out!

So, bottom line is don't worry, just enjoy the ride ... you have a ton of friends in Orlando and you have many talents that will land you a great job!!

We are going to set up a meet and greet, and yes, we are fully aware of the husky traits (Bailey was actually a husky cross). I honestly don't know how I'll react to Tanner in person until I see him. Looking at the pictures, right now it's mostly his colors (white with pink nose and brown eyes) that remind me of Bailey - and then the puppy pics that the breeder sent do look exactly like Bailey when she was a pup. Seeing Tanner's pictures make me realize how much I miss Bailey.

Oh, yeah! I vaguely remember you saying that a long time ago. From the picture I thought she was a white GSD, but they have black noses.

Sorry for the big long spiel. That's the rescue experience coming out! I'd rather give people too much unnecessary info than see them regret getting a dog.

So I guess the meet and greet will be the make or break in the decision? Best wishes for joy and happy dances for all concerned!

i'm here to solve the situation.

1. live with frank.

2. teach pole dance lessons.



congrats on the relocation to the sunshine state!
will you have a big party with a bonfire when we all come to town??

Yes, pole dance lessons. All the homies will be there whenever we visit Orlando. I'm all for the bonfire, too. I can bring some wood.

See, Andy? The squirrels need your coaching. They're all moving the same direction and not weaving as they should.

I'm sure everything will work out wonderfully, and you and Frank will be glad you moved. Scary, yes. But a great opportunity, too.

Hey Tricia!

Just had to stop in and say hi to an old friend! Got your Christmas card too and can't believe how big the guys are getting! (Says the person whose guys are all over 6'!).

Hi everyone else! Have a great Holiday!

Yes, we will be in Orlando in November.
Unfortunately, that means I miss HHN. Again....


Can I be on the food part of the committee? We can have a deep pit BBQ under the bonfire, and try to recreate our favorite things from the parks' menus for the other entrees.

Or hire a caterer.

After dinner, the pole dancing starts. Andy and I will sing for that.

We can always roast the moose. Just put the date on his invite 2-3 days early so we can roast him slowly. Better get the squirrel roasted, too. He's pretty good at getting Bullwinkle out of trouble.



Hi, Tricia!

Hi, Marcie!

 

[RAPstar]

Yea, so Frank's job called him today and Orlando's out. We're trying for LA. If not there then New Orleans.

I got your card too. Your little guys are pretty much men now.

We are headed to Orlando on Friday and spending our first 2 days at Universal, so I thought I'd stop in and say hi. Hi.

Raskolnikov!

november, oh pooh. I'm scared to put up any more tickers at risk of jinxing things, since we've yet to get confirmation for any of the weeks we desire next year.

i was psyched to find the complete Rocky & Bullwinkle series @ steep discount as a present for the mrhey, it's the only way to get what you really want under the tree!

i really like the POFQ, hear New Orleans is the next best thing. Some interesting cruises out of the port too.

bonnie - where is this "monster" thing i see in your ticker?

bonnie - where is this "monster" thing i see in your ticker?

It's in Burbank, CA ... it's basically a showcase for award winning FX Artists, Monster related art work (displays and for sale). You can check out the pictures on my FB page from last year.

Here's the link to their webpage if you want more info

Done. Wrapped. I'm good to go.

 

[keishashadow]

pizza + loaded fries = a salad for dinner tomorrow

tricia -somehow i just knew you'd be done, i keep saying i'm almost there but it's not happening

bonny - ah, i remember now, really looks interesting. Are you going to do USH again?

I wouldn't normally be done by now you know. Leaving for Florida on the 16th made it really, really important to get things done early.

I thought I was done last week, but then the boys each came home with a note needing a gift for their class party (yes, we are still allowed to do that here ), so I had to get 2 more gifts and wrap them. Since one had a $5 limit and one had a $10 limit, it was something of a challenge. Daniel's was fairly easy. $5 boy toy for a first grader? Got a set of matchbox construction trucks. Joshua's was a bit of a challenge. They do a true Secret Santa deal and he had drawn a girl's name. He was seriously freaked at the idea of buying a girl a gift. I finally pointed him toward the craft stuff and he picked out one of those sand art things where you fill the bottles with pretty colored sand. You would have thought that picking anything remotely girly would have meant A) that he wasn't masculine enough or B) that he was asking her to marry him. This is the same kid that regularly wanted the "girl" toy in his Happy Meal just a few years ago. Sigh. The peer influence has kicked in. I fear the future.

 

[macraven]

i'm not even thinking about gifts yet.

i make my list on the 23rd and shop on the 24th.
it's tradition........


i did do cards one year.
that could have been back in 08 or 09.
i am really thinking of sending cards this year though.

So as of right now it looks like LA area is a go. We're hoping Santa Ana, but it may be San Bernardino. Either way I won't be far from Disneyland. I'll keep you updated if anything changes or whatnot.

If I remember correctly, Santa Ana is only about 10-15 min from Anaheim. I think San Bernadino is further inland.

If you do move to either, hopefully we can get together when we're down in Burbank for Monsterpalooza in April.

SNA is a short mr toad's wild ride from DLtook us approx 1/2 hour via towncar mid am on a weekday, driver had pedal to the metal (i closed my eyes and prayed). Many locals i spoke to told me they hadn't set foot on a freeway in years, take the surface roads & swear they're faster.

tricia - give joshua a few years, he'll feel differently. i was so ahead of the game, then got sick/thanksgiving invasion and got left in the dust. Bye week for Steelers & mr worked a double, gave me lots of time to attack the list.
