So beautiful!!! My DD7 wants to go now. She has a French poodle room with an Eiffel Tower lamp. She thinks it's so interesting. I agree.
Maybe we'll have to go some day. :goodvibes
 
I walk in, say hi to L (the only person there I know besides Dee) and come to find it's a, um... Relationship enhancement party? Fun for married folk? At any rate, turns out the consultant is L's cousin - she's doing this in front of her MOTHER and GRANDMOTHER for goodness sakes. I am mortified, really mostly because I know nearly no one in the room.

:scared1:

So I went to playgroup two days later and am telling this story, when, lo and behold, they all say I have to have one. They want it. :lmao: :rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Love the Paris pictures:thumbsup2

Ok, it's official. My DS is a driver! OMG. He drove from the DMV to his friend's house to pick him up. I tried not to scream or grasp frantically at the dash when hit the brakes too hard. :thumbsup2

My baby's all grown up.

Now I'm home again. Gonna clean out the fridge and the freezer for our trip. Then finish up the laundry and get down the suitcases. :thumbsup2

Still no "aunt flo". WTH!! :confused: :furious: Thanks for the tip Dawn, but no BCPs here.

Mel:banana:
 
Hey all! :goodvibes

We're home. I'm swimming in laundry that I was planning to do last Thursday. The trip was great. I've got to get #2 son from soccer camp but I'll be back to post this afternoon.

CE~ LOVE the pics of France:love:
 
Hey...Where's Z?
Haven't seen her in ages :confused:

Until some of you talked about your dads, I totally forgot about my own dad. We haven't spoken in years, but I'm surprised I totally forgot about him. :eek: Very strange. He's pretty much a mean man who couldn't care less about talking to my brother and me- so I don't waste my time worrying about him. He's one of the reasons I celebrate my hubby so much today. I'm very thankful that he's my kids' daddy. :lovestruc
That's bad about your Dad but wonderful of you to make your DH feel so special!

Do you know how many times I had to read that before I got it! :lmao: That's so cool, 'cause now that I get it and can totally relate, because I'm hoping I get it before I go too! Nothing worse than going to your happy place with it. I prefer to leave it at home.
I actually counted on the calendar the other day and I should be fine :yay: I just really really really hope Jessica's doesn't decide to arrive for the first time!!!!!

So I need to get something off my chest, and I just know my Focker friends will give me an HONEST opinion.::yes::

This is a pet peeve of mine, and I want to know what you all think. What do you all think of people who say one thing, ie don't do something, and then turn around and do it themselves. The old do as I say, but not as I do.;)
I think I may have an idea of what you're refering to here Janet and I totally agree with you!

I know what you mean Janet. I like to use the phrase "Practice what you preach" but it is a pet peeve of mine as well. Then you wonder do you say something or just let it roll off your back?
;)

I'm guessing.... now correct me if I'm wrong Janet. Say your friend says I hate eavesdropping (sp?) and yet she eavesdrops all the time. That would annoy me.
:lmao:

Hey, I was wondering, does anyone know if you can watch Wishes from the sandy beach at the Poly??
You most definitely can Mel :thumbsup2

sound like a fun day... but definately good thing you didn't have to pay. why would they show you so little in such a big place?
I think because it costs so much to keep all the rooms open, but why keep advertising that you have all these rooms if you are only allowed in a few of them :confused:

then she told us that regan could stay too!! well, R was soooo excited, she went into her room , packed her bag, got her baby doll and was ready to go.
That's fantastic Rachel and she obviously was so excited :goodvibes

My ds and dh just left to go golf 9 holes. This is my ds's first time on a real course. They've been to the driving range a ton and last summer he took lessons with a pro but they've never actually played a game. My dh wanted him to have some experience before they play next week in WDW. N looked so cute is his polo shirt and shorts. He said, "How do I look, Mom?" :goodvibes Really Cute!!
How did they get on?

She moved in 2004, when I started school. This probably sounds awful, but I really, really need her to move out. We do NOT get along in the same household; hence why I moved into my own place at age 17. :headache: Problem is, she's so anti-social, her entire life revolves around Leo and me. It's not healthy for any of us, I'm afriad, but I suspect she'll be loathe to leave. Then again, maybe she'll be happy to get away from me!
4 years is a lot, is she old enough to move to a retirement community????

So, what did I get? Sorry, you'll have to wait and read about it in my TR. ;) But I'll say this: I got everything I wanted... and NONE were choices discussed here last week! :rotfl:
OK :rotfl2:

Busy week coming up - boys have tennis today. D & I got our first lesson (his b-day gift) set up for tomorrow. I wish I could video it, because I'm SURE it will be amusing to see. :rotfl: The boys have a beach day Wed. at school, then we have a family picnic day after school on Thursday. Friday I have a home sales party to go to at my friend's. It's, an, um, grown-up party... :lmao: Should be interesting. More on that if I can figure out how to say it delicately.
Wow does sound busy!!!!

They keep getting on me to have another, but I kept not picking a day, so now one of them is doing one Friday. :rotfl2:
Why wouldn't you pick a date :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

They put us in the Hilton Eiffel Tower. Great, great location, but no charm. It wasn't contemporary enough to be cool like the Meridien at Nice, but not old French charm, either. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't special. But it was free for us, so..
Wow you were close to the Eiffel Tower, when we stayed we were more the Louvre side!




Well today we had to take the car to the garage, so we went into town shopping whilst it was being done. I tried to find a swimsuit but none fit, I almost got stuck in one too :eek: It was a tanktini top and I really struggled to get it off :rotfl: I also bought a couple of bras and left them on me bed, well Ellie just saw them and said wow Mummy they're enormous, thanks kid :rotfl2: We then did 11 holes of golf and in about 10 minutes I've got to take Ellie to a Theatre for her Dress Rehersal for a show she's doing on Saturday!

Welcome back! Thanks!

I don't know! It WAS fun... ;) I just don't want to be known as the person who has all those parties. :rotfl:

You're busy, too. Oh dear about Els and the bra... :rotfl: And I was laughing about the tankini, sorry. ;)
 
Good motning Fockers Just home from my other job. Went in at 6am!!
Jo have you made your ressies for August ?? Did I maybe miss them !! I'dlove to know all the Fockerfester's plans !!
 
So what do ya'll know about replacing AC parts? I got a quote for $3500 to replace the whole system.... to which my response was "Yeah, right. Forget it!" Seems I can replace just the condenser, though it won't be quite as efficient as replacing the whole shebang. He gave me an unofficial quote of $1600 - does that seem right? How do I shop around? Does anyone have a code?! :rotfl:
Those prices seem right in line with what I was quoted. That is why we have a window unit. I do know that when my mom wanted to replace the condenser a friend in the business said not to. He said it is hard to replace it and get it to work as well as the original. He recommended she just get the new one.
After all the non sleep these past few days you'd think I could have slept for hours last night., We laid down about midnight, I was thrilled. Then I woke up at 4:30 and never could get back to sleep! I think I'm taking a Tylenol PM tonight so I can get back on a normal person's schedule. I hate insomnia!
Hope you got some sleep last night.
she did fine there, had a blast. she's already asking to stay again!!

just had to share. it's so cool when she can do "normal " things. it makes me feel good :goodvibes

sorry , that was long. but, just had to share. :lovestruc
That is great. I watched a boy with Autism for a few years. He hated when his brother got to go places and he did not. The brother and my dd use to go roller skating and he would be stuck with me and the little kids. He just couldn't go with out an adult being there the whole time.
Well, I did it. I pressed 1 this morning whilst making Dec. ADRs. You know - when it asks "Press 1 to make a reservation in the next 7 days, or if you're calling from the Orlando area." I figure I'm roughly in the "Orlando area", so it was worth a shot!

I called at 6:59am - and it was picked up on the first ring! The guy sounded half-asleep, and his computer was moving slowly, but otherwise I swear the whole thing went much faster than when I've not pressed 1. I had vitrtually no prompts re: how many trips, etc.

So, what did I get? Sorry, you'll have to wait and read about it in my TR. ;) But I'll say this: I got everything I wanted... and NONE were choices discussed here last week! :rotfl:
You are a terrible tease and a shameless TR pimper. Yes, I went there. I am just mad because I can not keep up with all the TR's let alone write one.
We saw Kung Fu Panda yesterday. I liked it a lot! It even had a good message, go figure.
It is a cute little movie, isn't it.

Here are the views from our balcony:

Wow that is a great view.
****************************
Not much going on here today. I am pricing for the yard sale and ds and Pinky, the little girl I watch part time, are playing in the sprinkler. It is going to be in the low 80's today and then go down even cooler starting tomorrow. It is supposed to be in the 60's by Thursday. This is just crazy.
 
I actually counted on the calendar the other day and I should be fine :yay: I just really really really hope Jessica's doesn't decide to arrive for the first time!!!!!
Oh, me too! Now I'm wondering WHEN it's actually gonna show up???

You most definitely can Mel :thumbsup2
Cool! Thanks to all the peeps who answered! Oh, and Jen2....lol....:rotfl2:

How did they get on?
Um, I don't know about scores or whatever but they lost 8 balls. N asked DH how many did we lose and DH said, "oh, who's counting...? " Ha!! They had a great time tho!

Well today we had to take the car to the garage, so we went into town shopping whilst it was being done. I tried to find a swimsuit but none fit, I almost got stuck in one too :eek: It was a tanktini top and I really struggled to get it off :rotfl:
