OK, I just had to share this.

About an hour ago, my phone rings. It's my nephew, Max, he's 8. He says, hold on Jordin Sparks is going to sing the National Anthem and I thought you'd like to hear it. I look over at the TV and realize----my nephew is at the Super Bowl!!!

Our family members are HUGE Giants fans. Dad's had season tickets for years and here his 8 year old grandson is living the dream. His mother's uber-rich husband decided to take him to game. I just have to say, I'm jealous! But he's missing out on all these cute commercials.

What an awesome opprotunity.

Hey, Walker is 7 - almost 8. Think he'd like to be friends?

One more thing---we went to see the Hannah Montana 3-D movie today. It was really good, but not as good as the real concert. Before the movie they showed a preview for Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D. I'm totaly not an action/adventure movie gal, but this movie looks awesome!! I'm seriously amazed by the technology because there are no cheap 3D shots like in Muppets or HISTA, the way it flows with the movie is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see it.

How cool for your nephew Diana!

Steve the shooting story made our news report last night. It must have been big news because with all the crap happening in Detroit on a daily basis they had time to report about Tinley Park, IL. Very sad.

As of last night, they were saying they hadn't caught who ever was the idiot who did that shooting.

I just can't believe these people were minding their own business just out shopping on a Saturday morning.

What is the matter with our world?

No update on the shootings yet. No suspect in custody.

Good afternoon everyone!

Heard about the Lane bryant shooting, I am still in shock about it! We shop and have dinner in Tinley about 2 times a month. I cant believe what people are capable of. I feel for the families of the victims....It just makes me think it coule of been me, I've never been in that particular store, but I shop Lane Bryant all the time. It could of been anyone of us! Very sad story!

I am at home today with a touch of the flu. I woke up dizzy, nauseous, and with a pounding headache. I went to work and lasted about an hour and then went home. I took some tylenol and slept, and feel much better! Hopefully it stays like that!

How was everyone's weekend?

Okay - ready to post some news - I went to see a specialist this morning to find out why I'm having such a rough winter this year - I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia on top of my RA and RSD - not a fun name much less to live with it is a bit on the rough side - but I guess it explains alot of my yuck this winter.

Hmmmm - the phone calls I got when I started my vacation - seems I landed at MCO and got a call from my dd - seems like I'll be asking Diana to make more diaper cakes - seems as tho Christopher is expecting a new arrival at his house in September if all goes well. Then later in the week as I am leaving MK for the last day of my vacation - I get another call from dd - she tells me she just saw the dr and she is freaking out - the dr has found out why she is having much more morning sickness this time around - she's expecting 2 little ones - a big surprise to all of us!!!!

Congratulations Mary - TWINS!!!

Ok so I need some funny help please... we're going to the Pirates and Princess party in March and um my pirate shirt is too small right now. Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy a maternity pirate tshirt or a good iron on shirt idea?

 

[chipscinderelly]

Ok so now we have an answer on our old thread...

Sorry for the delay on this, we had to have a piece of software custom written to cut up the existing long threads.
We have also decided how to handle long threads moving forward:
1. Threads will be closed at 250 pages (3750 posts)
2. Any existing thread over 250 pages will be locked as is.
3. The really long threads that were removed will come back over the next week or so. I have to shut the boards down to cut them up so I will try to do it during "off hours". We are also trying index them so people will be able to reference them.

I hope everyone is enjoying the much faster boards!

Tina I hope you're feeling better soon.

Mary congrats on the great news of your dd having twins. This will be a busy year for you this year.
Sorry to hear your health news wasn't better.

 

[fireplug]

Mary sorry to hear of your health problems. Hopefully now they can treat your ailment and get you some relief. Congrats on the twins. TWICE the new babies to spoil.

Julie how about getting a Smee shirt and let your "baby bump" peek out like his tummy did.

Tina I hope you feel better soon too!

Speaking of spoiling, I called Coleen today and we happened to think it was time to make ADR's for July. SO she calls and even though we are three weeks PAST the first day we could call she got a reservation for 6 at Cindys Palace for breakfast. Our little princesses will be so pleased.

Mary...Congratulations to your DD on the twins! As a mother of twin myself, I know that she is bound to hear sooner or later the same thing that I heard...Twins! That's double trouble!! When she does, tell her to do what I did....smile and say...No, it's twice as nice!

Looking back on the days when my girls were babies/toddlers, I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Hi all!!
Well we got some more things done on the house. We painted the dining room a merlot color this weekend. It looks good if I do say so myself!

I'm a little late on replying to some of the news but the shooting in IL was just horrible. I agree with everyone in asking "what is wrong with people these days". We had a triple homicide in Albany just last week (about 15 miles from my house) one of the victims was 15 years old. Just so unreal.

Ok on to something happy now.
Mary - What great news!!! Twins! Looks like Grandma Mary is going to have her hands full with all the grand babies!

Julie - for a pirate Tee did you try Mike's? The last time I was there they had an iron on's of the jolly roger and one was the jeweled/rhinestone kind similar to what you wore on the last member cruise.

Now for a nice childhood memory.......one of the the ones I like brings me back to simplier times. Sleeping ove grandma's house on a Saturday night and getting up on sunday to go to church, stop at Mike's corner store for the paper then hitting the bakery down the block for bread and my chocolate glazed donut. We would bring out loot home and while Grandma was making the pasta for the big family lunch I would read the comics while eating my donut than couldn't wait for Abbot & Costello to come on the TV.
Those were the days!

I'll get some pics posted soon, once I get them off the camera!

Hope that anyone in the path of the wicked bad storms are okay tonite - stay safe!

 

[cgcw]

congratulations, on the grandbaby twins, Mary!

Hope that anyone in the path of the wicked bad storms are okay tonite - stay safe!

What storm????? All day long they predicted it was going to be bad. I just checked outside, a dusting of snow. Check email and find out that my kids school district is the only one closed in the area. We don't have built in snow days to our school calendar. I can understand Friday when they were closed, but not today. Now the kids have to make it up at the end of the school year.

What am I going to do with them all day long? To add to the fun, tomorrow is a 1/2 day & Friday is a day off of school.




Tina, are you leaving today for the cruise? I received the CJ and I'll get them done. Have fun. Diana, you too, it's coming quick now.

 

[Diana Lyn]

Tina---See you on Sunday!! You should be able to see the shuttle launch. It's scheduled for thurs but as NASA's luck would have it, Thurs is the only day in 2 weeks where it's supposed to be rainy, so maybe Friday or Saturday.

Mary---Congrats on the baby news! That's pretty exciting. I always wanted twins, and then I got my Irish twins.

We leave on Saturday, after cheerleading and Soccer tryouts. We're heading to Epcot for the day and then spending the night out at the port.

Diana, where are you staying at the port? We stayed at the Country Inns & Suites in November. It was very nice.

If your staying there, tell them Gail sent you.
