Team Focker Watch Chat - in the 11th Hour

[debraW76]

Kristel, So sorry about Rockie's mom. You sound very close

Hi Denise! Nice to meet you.

CE: sorry bout the crazy tennis lady I think you handled it nicely.

Jv: I'm a scrapper too! Have fun at the MOA. That is where my DD wants me to take her oneday.

Janet: Glad the people at US were so understanding. Love the photos!!
2013!! thats a long wait but I think you will enjoy it even more

I had a dream last night that everyone moved to a 12th thread and left me here all alone.

How funny!

Please, please don't tell me you're using ground beef? I think I need to fly out to Philly STAT!

well, what are you suppose to use for tacos

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really do love you all, and appreciate the support and love and caring. it truly means the world to me. One way or another I will be ok, I am digging strength out of places I never knew I had. I'll survive one way or another, and it is in part because of my wonderful friends.

Great attitude Kat! I agree with most of what has been said but I don't think I know enough about your situation to give specific advice. I will say though to be careful, and watch out for yourself. I personally wouldn't put my future in the promises of others.

Hey you I was wondering where you'd been
Missed you too!!

I had an email a little while ago from my friend and neighbour, her Dad died suddenly yesterday, he was only in his 60's and was found dead on the sofa watching TV She is devastated as it was so sudden and the fact the police didn't tell her Her hubbie is a policeman and is not impressed!
Oh Jo! How tragic
On better news TSM for the Wii just arrived bad news is the girls hadn't charged the remotes so we can't play yet Oh and I'm bagsying first go

Sounds fun! That is sooo going on our Christmas list!

We've missed you!
Missed you too!!

My friend's baby is happy and healthy. He's so perfectly round and pink. I have meals set up for her until we get back, so at least that's done.

Aw!! I've been bitten by the baby bug myself. Have fun at Soccer

++++++++++++++++++
Morning Fockers!! I've missed all of you ladies but have been sooo busy. This has been my week
Wake up, shower, coffee.
get kids up and ready for school. Put kids on bus.
Get baby ready. Take baby to daycare
Go to work and spend all day in meetings and totally redoing our office procedures
Get off work, pick up baby, go home,
Take kids to football/danceline practice
Pick kids up from practice
Cook dinner
Baths
homework
chores
Bed

Repeat

As you can see I have had very little time for dissing. And I have missed it so much. My boss is totally re-flowing our department. He asked us to trust him and go with it and if a year if we are not a better engineering group then he will resign. He even turned in an undated signed resignation letter to the general manager as proof. I decided to trust him and follow him for one year to see where it goes. I think he is growing on me

However, we are backlogged and he has asked me to work OT until we get caught up. So no more off days for me. Its ok as we could really use the money for Christmas and other stuff. Plus it is only temporary and I still have the right to say 'no, i only want to work 32 hours this week'. So it is working out.

Kids football is kicking my but. 4-5 hours on the field every Saturday until Halloween.

Today is mom's birthday. If anyone wants to wish her a happy birthday on my TR (that is the only thread she knows how to get to ).

 

[dlwharp]

I use the cheapest cut of roast I can find! Throw that into the crockpot with some Adobo seasoning, onion, garlic and leave it there until it's falling apart. Shred it up and throw it in some fried corn tortillas and it's a party in your mouth.

Shredded pork? Even better. Put a little oil in the pan and saute that pork until it's warmed up. Throw that into warm corn tortillas, with a little fresh onion and cilantro, fresh salsa and you've got Carnitas taco al carbon! YUM-O!


I'll teach you guys tacos, but you've got to teach me Cheesesteaks and Pierogies (sp?)!

Tonight I'm making green chili enchiladas, fideo, and calabasitas. YUMMY! I feeling very in touch with my browness today! Aiiiiyaaayayaya!!!!! Arribbbbaaa!!!!

OMG - that sounds amazing. I LOVE brown food! Cheesesteaks and Pierogies are also two of my favorites

I LOVE new recipes though.

I just discovered that I may have sciatica the other day. The past week my leg has just been agonizing. Cant even sleep. Yuk! Any advice?

See the end of my post So sorry about the sciatica - I sure hope you get some relief soon!

What's with all the young people and the back problems? I'm sending out healing vibes to all of you

Hi Denise! Nice to meet you.

Hi! The schedule - I will not complain about mine anymore!
-------------------------------

I'll share the recipe we're having tomorrow - which as I mentioned, is one of our most favorites. A caveat though, it is NOT low-cal by any stretch. We don't eat like this all time - DH does the cooking during the week (he gets home before me), so we're pretty good then. But when I get to cook on the weekends, it's no holds barred (or butter, or cream, etc. ) Anyhoo, this one is really simple...

You'll need 8-9 chicken pieces (I always used skin-on bone-in chicken thighs). Shake them in a large paper bag with flour, salt, pepper and paprika to coat. Brown the chicken in a saute pan with butter/oil. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour 2 cups heavy cream over the chicken and sprinkle additional paprika cover the chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a 300 degree oven for 2 hours. The chicken will fall off the bone! I serve it with buttered egg noodles and peas.

I usually also serve my green salad with apple cider vinegrette - take 2 cups apple cider and reduce to 1/3 cup. Mix in 2 tbls apple cider vinegar and add canola oil to taste. Serve over mixed greens with cheddar cheese, apple slices, red onion and toasted walnuts. Mmmm mmmm.

-------------
Maybe we could all use a funny story. Well, it wasn't funny when it happened, I was incredibly annoyed, but it is so ridiculous that I just have to laugh about it now...I dutifully checked my work voice mail since I've been off a couple of days. I had gotten a voice mail from "Overnight Delivery Service X" - man says, "I have a package for your company, at X street address, but your suite number is not on here. Can you call 1-800-XXX-XXXX and give us your suite number so we can deliver the package?" So, even though it's a day off, I call the number and give the lady who answers the tracking number, tell her I was told to call and give them the suite number (now this was AFTER I spent 5 minutes trying to actually get a person on the line). She says "I'm so sorry mam, I can't take the suite number, that would be changing the address and I'm not allowed to do that" You're kidding me, right?? I say, "so why did I get a message asking me to call you with the suite number?" All she will say is "I'm sorry mam, I'm not allowed to take the suite number, the sender would have to call with that information". So, I ask " Can you tell me who sent it?" She says, "Oh, yes mam, X company sent it." So I ask her for an address so I can track this company down and can you guess what she says????

"I'm sorry mam, I'm not allowed to give you that information."

I hung up

Have a good day all!

 

[cmp1111]

I really do love you all, and appreciate the support and love and caring. it truly means the world to me. One way or another I will be ok, I am digging strength out of places I never knew I had. I'll survive one way or another, and it is in part because of my wonderful friends.

We love you, too.

yum... Thanks for the lesson! My families favorite is Chicken Broccolli casserole. Thats one of my only specialties i can think of at the moment. I LOVE new recipes though.

Post it, please!

Altogether the night was really fun.

Good deal!

Morning Strangers!!

Deb!!!

So did you have fun?

Yes, indeed, but we were stupid.

I had an email a little while ago from my friend and neighbour, her Dad died suddenly yesterday, he was only in his 60's and was found dead on the sofa watching TV She is devastated as it was so sudden and the fact the police didn't tell her Her hubbie is a policeman and is not impressed!

Oh, no! I'm so sorry.

On better news TSM for the Wii just arrived bad news is the girls hadn't charged the remotes so we can't play yet Oh and I'm bagsying first go

Let us know how it is! I think I've figured out your phrase from context, but that's a new one to me, too!

Kat and everyone else....especially those of us who are SAHM or work very little:

Do you have life insurance? If you don't, get it now...not I'll get to it, or it's too expensive, or whatever reason. I'm guilty of procrastinating as well. We just got a term life policy for my 36 year old non smoking DH for $34 per month and $53 per month for me, 38 and non smoking. Both policies are $500,000 and 20 year term. There are lots of other options.

You're right. I have a small policy, but not enough for D to replace me with a nanny or whatever if something happened.

My friend's baby is happy and healthy. He's so perfectly round and pink.

Aw, how sweet. And sorry, but I agree with K. (Not always, but today, yes.)

CE: sorry bout the crazy tennis lady I think you handled it nicely.

Thanks for both the sympathy and the compliment.

I decided to trust him and follow him for one year to see where it goes. I think he is growing on me

That's good!

****************************************************
Hoo boy. D's coworker who lives in town ended up coming over, too, and we were up until 2:30 playing euchre and imbibing. I went to bed and the coworker left then, but D & our friend stayed up chatting and woke up on the couches at 5:30 - probably had been asleep for about an hour, then, but... Hey, we had fun, so that's good.

So, none of us are moving very quickly this morning. Our friend is heading into Boston with her flight crew a bit later, but we have no real plans. It's only supposed to be about 67 here today, so no boat...

Hope you all are having a good day!

Kristel, I meant to quote you, but that's great news on Rockie's mom! I know she's not out of the woods, but that's better than not, right?

 

[TEminnie]

Okay, I was going to do a bunch of quotes on chuffing and TE's rubber heels collapsing underneath her , but I got distracted with my friend having her baby this afternoon. ]

Just as well you were distracted!

You Americans have some funny words don't ya?

I'm sitting here almost crying because a character on a soap I watch is about to die, I'm such a wuss

what funny words? We don't talk funny??

And....don't worry Jo...soap stars always come back to life--missing twin, reincarnation, they'll find a reason!

Janet--how did cub scouts go?

 

[CelticBelle]

Chicken Broccoli Casserole

2-3 crowns broccoli
4 chicken breast (Or what ever piece of chicken) cooked and shredded
1 package of mushrooms sauteed
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayo
2 cup milk
3 cups cheddar cheese
1-2 tbsp curry
1 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper
1 sleeve of saltine crackers crumbled for top.

layer steamed broccoli, shredded chicken, then mushrooms into casserole dish. Mix all other ingredients together in bowl and pour over the dish. crumble the crackers over the top as the crust. Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes until its bubbly and golden brown. let it cool and serve it over rice.

The best part is, it makes a huge amount and it's even better the second day. I love having it as leftovers.

Hi debra! missed you lately!

Everyone have a great weekend.

 

[jcc0621]

i had these nice quotes and then I walked away from the computer before I hit send. They went POOF!

CE , Jo and T made fun of my TYPOS LY too guys

T - Yes, I use ground beef

CE - SOund like a fun night

Mo - Safe travels!

Sam - Sounds like a nice evening, even with the annoyting people!

Kristel - Great news about Rockie's mom

Slate - Great advice about the life insurance

Dawn - Just yell in K's ear - STITCH SAYS NO SLEEPING!

to everyone I missed! to those who need them.

--------------------------------

Cub Scouts was a huge success. The apple bird feeders were great T, and Jim said SUPER easy to do. ALso, Just as an FYI MArshmallow Fluff works too if you have anyone that has peanut allergies! A bit messy so just have lots of papertowels/baby wipes around!

Tonight is the Cppkout/Campfire/OVernighter. The Tiger Scouts only go for the cookout/Campfire part. They aren't allowed to sleepover until next year. Which is fine becasue I don't think Jimmy has any interest in sleeping outside!

Next weekend is the big fundraising kickoff. Anyone want pocorn? Let me know, I will ship!

While they were at their meeting, my neighbors returned from vacation so i wound up going out with them to get something to eat. IT was nive just to get out of the house for an hour. Afterwards we came back and just hung out on the porch and chatted!

This morning we met up with my friend Joy and her 2 kids at the playground. The kids ran around playing for a while and then we took them to McD's for lunch. Now we are back and the boys are "resting their eyes" befoore the Campfire!

I don't know what I am going to do while they are out tonight.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

T - you don't have to worry about this Irish Lass messing up making Tacos, I just go to Taco Bell

Oh Mo! Taco Bell??!!! Ewwwww!!!

Dude, that's a lot of espanol.....how much you been drinking?

Heh heh heh!

Rockie’s mom was actually talking to and looking at us today. It takes a lot of effort on her part but she is doing it. She said she is ready to get out of the hospital. She wants everyone to quit messing with her and she has had a few choice words for the staff. The latter is always in making fun and not serious. That tells us she is definitely doing better. She is still in the critical care unit. The doctor says it is very encouraging but do remember things could go the other way. It’s just nice to see her acknowledging that we are there. That’s what you really want them to know!

I let her know there were a lot of people she didn’t even know pulling for her and she nodded. So keep it up, please!

That's encouraging news, Kristel!

I just discovered that I may have sciatica the other day. The past week my leg has just been agonizing. Cant even sleep. Yuk! Any advice?

I have sciatica as well. The best thing I can tell you is to move. I notice the less I move, the more it hurts. I also get on all fours and lift my legs up from a bent position to a straight position. One thing that triggers the pain is bending down from the waist, try to avoid that.

Airfare kills us, too. We'd be in WDW way more often if the airfare wasn't so stinkin' expensive.

I had an email a little while ago from my friend and neighbour, her Dad died suddenly yesterday, he was only in his 60's and was found dead on the sofa watching TV She is devastated as it was so sudden and the fact the police didn't tell her Her hubbie is a policeman and is not impressed!

Oh that's horrible! So sorry to hear about that, JO.

On better news TSM for the Wii just arrived bad news is the girls hadn't charged the remotes so we can't play yet Oh and I'm bagsying first go

OMG, we got it on Tuesday and have been ADDICTED!!! Even Waldo can't put the Wiimote down!

Kat and everyone else....especially those of us who are SAHM or work very little:

Do you have life insurance? If you don't, get it now...not I'll get to it, or it's too expensive, or whatever reason. I'm guilty of procrastinating as well.

There are lots of other options.

Good advice. We got life insurance for all four of us when Evan was born. My policy is only for 100K, but Andy's is 500K. I think the kids are 20K each.

Ooh Tish...you spoke...Spanish!!

I loved the Adams Family

Me, too! I soooo wanted to be the Adams Family for Halloween!

My friend's baby is happy and healthy. He's so perfectly round and pink. I have meals set up for her until we get back, so at least that's done.

I love new babies!!

well, what are you suppose to use for tacos

Shredded beef.

You'll need 8-9 chicken pieces (I always used skin-on bone-in chicken thighs). Shake them in a large paper bag with flour, salt, pepper and paprika to coat. Brown the chicken in a saute pan with butter/oil. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour 2 cups heavy cream over the chicken and sprinkle additional paprika cover the chicken.

Mmmm!!! I writing both those down for a warm winter day! Salad isn't a salad without CHEESE!!!!

Hoo boy. D's coworker who lives in town ended up coming over, too, and we were up until 2:30 playing euchre and imbibing. I went to bed and the coworker left then, but D & our friend stayed up chatting and woke up on the couches at 5:30 - probably had been asleep for about an hour, then, but... Hey, we had fun, so that's good.

SOunds like you had a fun night!

***************************************************
It's been a busy morning! We closed up the pool since the filter died and naturally we're having a heat wave!

We cleaned out the garage, straighten out the house and now we're all a sweaty mess! Gonna hit the showers, grab some lunch and play some TSM.

Waldo and TE are heading out to dinner tonight as it's their ... wait for it.... wait for it.... 54th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Can you believe TE's put up with that man for this long?

Have a great day, all! Peace!

 

[cmp1111]

Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Thanks, looks yummy!

CE - SOund like a fun night

While they were at their meeting, my neighbors returned from vacation so i wound up going out with them to get something to eat. IT was nive just to get out of the house for an hour. Afterwards we came back and just hung out on the porch and chatted!

That sounds great, too!

I don't know what I am going to do while they are out tonight.

Wine, and a movie that you know so well you don't have to see it to know what's going on.

SOunds like you had a fun night!

Yes, but I'm getting too old for it. We have quite literally laid on the couch all afternoon. (Some out of preference rather than necessity. I think we needed a veg out day...)

Waldo and TE are heading out to dinner tonight as it's their ... wait for it.... wait for it.... 54th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Can you believe TE's put up with that man for this long?

That's fantastic! Give them both a hug from me.

 

[KatGarcia]

Kat- I just wanted you to know I'm here to support you too. May not have any words of wisdom, but your in my thoughts everyday.

I just discovered that I may have sciatica the other day. The past week my leg has just been agonizing. Cant even sleep. Yuk! Any advice?

sleep with a pillow between ur knees, it helps me a lot. u have to keep your hamstrings stretched well too.

i am soooo tired. i am falling asleep on the desk here. i am in KCs office, i came here after work, which was bad today. too many cooks in the kitchen situations today. urgh. on the way home we are going grocery shopping for food for L & her fam since they are coming on wed! Then sleeeeeeep.

Have a great night all.

 

[Muffinygood]

Hello everyone!

Kat: I'm glad you are taking steps to protect yourself. That's all we really want for you!

T: Wow!!! Congrats to Waldo and TE!

Janet: Enjoy your quiet evening. I vote for researching ADRs for your magical trip!

*************
I'm baking two pans of homemade chicken enchiladas right now! Man, after T got to talking about all the gorgeous Brown People food she was making, I was DYING!! LOL

Nothing exciting going on here. SD has a cold. He's sniffly and congested but not too bad. Dayquil knocked most of it out of him. He's probably needing the rest with tennis every day so that's fine! I got Z-packs for him and Gus just in case we need them before our trip.

Bob's installing a new security light on the back of the house. There've been a couple of break ins around town (in an otherwise QUIET area..) so we thought better to light it all up!

Gus is waiting to find out if his friend can spend the night.

I'm going to spend my evening PACKING (Did you hear that T?? Did'ya???) And writing the rest of the notes for the sitter. Also, I upgraded our Studio to a one bedroom! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!! I just decided this morning.

Oh, and check out the new ticker below....

[Disneyland_Mama]

Wine, and a movie that you know so well you don't have to see it to know what's going on.

That sounds like a great plan, CE. I've got a great bottle of white chilling and I think I throw in a chick flick!

I hear ya! I don't know how I pulled those binge nights back in my 20's!

I'm baking two pans of homemade chicken enchiladas right now! Man, after T got to talking about all the gorgeous Brown People food she was making, I was DYING!! LOL

I'd been craving it, too! I usually make at least 2 pans, just cause they're so much work, then I'll freeze 1 for later. This time, those piglets broke into the 2nd pan and it's all GONE!

I'm going to spend my evening PACKING (Did you hear that T?? Did'ya???)

Well, it's about time! I already started my bin for next year.

Oh, and check out the new ticker below....

Holy SHIZZLE!!! You're taking all of us to BLT??? WOW!!! You're AWESOME!


***************************************
I'm bored as heck! It's blazin' hot here, so we're stuck indoors. I've been doing some reading on Universal and just realized Harry Potter land is going to be open when we go next summer! We're not into it, but that's a plus as the rest of the park should be less crowded!

 

[jcc0621]

Oh Mo! Taco Bell??!!! Ewwwww!!!

We like Taco Hell (That wasn't a typo)

It's been a busy morning! We closed up the pool since the filter died and naturally we're having a heat wave!

Of course the heat wave hit now!

Waldo and TE are heading out to dinner tonight as it's their ... wait for it.... wait for it.... 54th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Can you believe TE's put up with that man for this long

Congrats to Waldo and CE

Wine, and a movie that you know so well you don't have to see it to know what's going on.

SOunds like you had a fun night!

Unfortunately, I can't drink becasue of my medication!

Hello everyone!

Well, it's about time! I already started my bin for next year.

Holy SHIZZLE!!! You're taking all of us to BLT??? WOW!!! You're AWESOME!

Wow Mel, that's awfully generous of you

I'm bored as heck! It's blazin' hot here, so we're stuck indoors. I've been doing some reading on Universal and just realized Harry Potter land is going to be open when we go next summer! We're not into it, but that's a plus as the rest of the park should be less crowded!

Me too T. I wish you all lived closer. We could be bored together!

HP opens in the Spring! Jim is looking forward to that when we go back.

---------------------

The boys left fot he Campfire and I am home alone. Bored out of my mind, with nothing to do. Well, I could clean something...nah

 

[puggymom]

Hi from NJ,

Yes, I came home. The only good thing was my boys greeting me.

Wow, this trip was really hard to come home from. I think I needed a few more days

I think next Sept will be at least 9 days, maybe 10. See how many I use for Italy.

Anywho,

T - please give Waldo and TE huge hugs and congrats from me

C'mon I know you love Taco Bell

Let me know if I can help with planning US. Though one of the reasons I went this year is I didn't want to go near US once HP opens. I will wait a few years, as I do want to see HP as I loved the books, but not crowds

CE - I feel like I haven't "talked" to you in ages

S'late - you gave some excellant advice, all you ladies should listen.

Some of you may not understand this, but you all know what my boys mean to me. Murph gets custody if anything were to happen and the life insurance I have through work has her as the beneficiary so she doesn't spend a dime of her money to take care of them. I wanted to make sure my boys are taken care of with no unneccessary burden to anyone else.

Mel - is there room for me in your bag


Gotta go check on the laundry, UGH!

 

[cmp1111]

Also, I upgraded our Studio to a one bedroom! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!! I just decided this morning.

Oh, and check out the new ticker below....

Both are awesome bits of news!

That sounds like a great plan, CE. I've got a great bottle of white chilling and I think I throw in a chick flick!

I'm taking it easier on the wine tonight, but we may more or less do the same thing!

I hear ya! I don't know how I pulled those binge nights back in my 20's!

I made it through the night fine, but if I'd had to do something today...

Holy SHIZZLE!!! You're taking all of us to BLT??? WOW!!! You're AWESOME!

We like Taco Hell (That wasn't a typo)

OK... (I do too, sometimes...)

Congrats to Waldo and CE

But that was! I don't know if T would accept me as a stepmom...

Unfortunately, I can't drink becasue of my medication!

Well, dang!

Hi from NJ,

Yes, I came home. The only good thing was my boys greeting me.

Welcome home, even if you don't want to be there.

CE - I feel like I haven't "talked" to you in ages

I know - I'm missing you!

**********************************************
We're watching the season premiere of "Bones" that we DVR'ed. I love that show! See you later!!!

 

[jcc0621]

Hi from NJ,

Yes, I came home.

SOrry your trip is over, but glad to see you

I think next Sept will be at least 9 days, maybe 10. See how many I use for Italy.

You're going to Italy???? When? Where??

SUre you don't want to change to November, like maybe Around the November 7th!

But that was! I don't know if T would accept me as a stepmom...

Oops!

We're watching the season premiere of "Bones" that we DVR'ed. I love that show! See you later!!!

David is a local boy. I met him a few times when I was a kid. His dad and my godmother know each other!

======================

Campfire/Cookout were a HUGE success. Jimmy fell asleep in the car Soccer in the AM, then grocery shopping. Other than that not much planned for the day.

 

[cmp1111]

David is a local boy. I met him a few times when I was a kid. His dad and my godmother know each other!

Ooh, he's yummy!

 

[DisneyJo]

Ummm....Jo? I'll bite. What the heck is bagsying??

I probably spelt it wrong but that's how you say it, if you bagsy something it's like making dibs on it, is that what you say? Basically you're saying you get first choice/go!

I think he is growing on me

Good and wow it does sound as though you've been busy!

"I'm sorry mam, I'm not allowed to give you that information."

Agghhh so annoying, hope you get it sorted!

up until 2:30 playing euchre and imbibing.

Huh?????

Cub Scouts was a huge success. The apple bird feeders were great T, and Jim said SUPER easy to do. ALso, Just as an FYI MArshmallow Fluff works too if you have anyone that has peanut allergies! A bit messy so just have lots of papertowels/baby wipes around!

Sounds good

Waldo and TE are heading out to dinner tonight as it's their ... wait for it.... wait for it.... 54th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Can you believe TE's put up with that man for this long?

Awww Happy Anniversary to them

Oh, and check out the new ticker below....

Yay!!!

Holy SHIZZLE!!! You're taking all of us to BLT??? WOW!!! You're AWESOME!

Yes, I came home. The only good thing was my boys greeting me.

Welcome back Mo



Well the party last night was rubbish, Ellie had a good time so that was great but it was just too loud, yep I'm getting old, to chat with anyone and none of the adults danced so was very boring

Today is the last chance to apply for the Moms Panel www.disneyworldmoms.com/2010 by applying you become a Mickey Moms Club member and occasionally get sent gifts or are sent invites to special meets etc so it's worth it for that. Oh and you don't have to be a Mom to apply

 

[debraW76]

Maybe we could all use a funny story. Well, it wasn't funny when it happened, I was incredibly annoyed, but it is so ridiculous that I just have to laugh about it now...

Urg!

Deb!!!

Hi CE!


****************************************************
Hoo boy. D's coworker who lives in town ended up coming over, too, and we were up until 2:30 playing euchre and imbibing. I went to bed and the coworker left then, but D & our friend stayed up chatting and woke up on the couches at 5:30 - probably had been asleep for about an hour, then, but... Hey, we had fun, so that's good.

Yikes! I just can't stay up that late anymore. I guess I am OLD!!

Hi debra! missed you lately!

Everyone have a great weekend.

Hi CelBel! Missed you too!

to everyone I missed! to those who need them.
Hi Janet!
--------------------------------

Next weekend is the big fundraising kickoff. Anyone want pocorn? Let me know, I will ship!

We were able to send people links to order directly from the website last year. Then it just shipped directly to their house. It made it very easy for out of town relatives who wanted to help

We do not have any scouts this year.

OMG, we got it on Tuesday and have been ADDICTED!!! Even Waldo can't put the Wiimote down!
We rented TSM yesterday and the boys are loving it. I am def adding that to our Christmas list.

Me, too! I soooo wanted to be the Adams Family for Halloween!

I want us to go as a group again this year but the kids are resisting. One year we went as the Incredibles and we got soooo much attention. This year I was thinking of a pack of clone troopers or something but the kids said def not!

Waldo and TE are heading out to dinner tonight as it's their ... wait for it.... wait for it.... 54th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Can you believe TE's put up with that man for this long?

Have a great day, all! Peace!

54 years! That is awesome!!! Congrats TE & Waldo!!

Have a great night all.

You too!

Oh, and check out the new ticker below....

Today is the last chance to apply for the Moms Panel www.disneyworldmoms.com/2010 by applying you become a Mickey Moms Club member and occasionally get sent gifts or are sent invites to special meets etc so it's worth it for that. Oh and you don't have to be a Mom to apply

UGH! I go back to work tomorrow, I want to go to WDW! I started a spreadsheet for next Sept to figure out how many days I need (ok want).

Anywho, I decided to apply for the Mom's panel, not sure about my answers, but they were honest and who I am. I think a single person's perspective is needed

Janet - yes I am planning on going to Italy in the Spring. I'm suppose to go with my oldest cousin, Carol, though she is making noise about not going. I'm still going either way. I was going to go with ABD, but they substantially raised prices and took away all the discounts they offered in the past. Right now I am leaning towards Trafalgar tours. The cities include Rome, Florence, Venice and Pisa.

Of course this means only 1 Disney trip next year, but that's ok, I ended up with 4 this year, including Thanksgiving.

Dawn - plan looks good, so are you seing Mel If I don't fit in her suitcase, can I try and fit in yours?
