Team Focker Watch Chat Part 5.5: The Less-Cursed Version

[askelton]

Don't worry Janet I was looking up the price of the GF, BC and POR for next August to get an idea for 2010 GF is twice the price of POR and I said to David did he think it was worth it and he said yes We'll see though you know how tight I am

Go David!


Rosie, I'm so sorry about your cat. I know exactly how you feel. Mitch was gone about 5 hours away for a Bowl Game when mine died, and his dear friend wanted to know if they should come home. As much as I wanted him to be with me, I just couldn't let them miss the game!

Lori, cute pictures of the children.

 

[TEminnie]

Howdy Fockers!

Lori--love the Steeler pics! I should fine the one of Ab when she was 1 year old dressed up in Miami Dolphins wear---she was chubby and bald and everyone said "wow--he's gonna be a heckova football player!"

Janet---we're at the ADR stage?? (I liked Tony's FWIW!---not many good TS in MK)

___________
We had a good time at the game! A little hot for here, but Tech won so that makes up for a lot. BA and I went to watch them fire the cannon which was pretty cool (and loud....should of taken out my hearing aid!)
And we did the 3rd quarter Hokie Pokey of course!

__________
MrsK (aka Tracy!)...........I'll have to tell my mom the story about how the servers treat your honey--she is a rehabilitation counseler and a strong advocate for the disabled--she goes into workplaces and public buildings and teaches folks how to make places accomodating.

Lori - cute pictures of the kids in all their Steelers glory.

OK, I have no life. Jim is watching the Eagles game and Jimmy is playing with his toys so what I am doing in between loads of laundry? I am looking at restaurant selections for next August

Here are the places we are considering...
Rainforest Cafe at AK
50's Prime Time
Mama Melrose's
TOny's Town Square
Chef Mickey's
Kona Cafe (I am getting Tonga Toast some day)

Jim and I were talking and we are not going to do as many TS meals and probably only 1 or 2 character meals as Jimmy just wasn't into it this year, then again next year he could be completely into it.

So what are your opinions on the above. Since I have 11 months you all know these are just the first draft

Thats some serious disney dedication!

My 2 cents:
Rainforest Cafe at AK- tried on our honeymoon and liked it a lot
50's Prime Time - loved it but heard the menu has gotten worse-maybe sit at the bar and have Apps no ADRs needed for that???
Mama Melrose's - I'm an italian food snob so never ate there.
TOny's Town Square- wanna try it one day
Chef Mickey's- breakfast was good, i want to try dinner for the dessert bar!
Kona Cafe (I am getting Tonga Toast some day) - SO WORTH IT!!!!

Hey Howdy Hey!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I'm sitting here watching Bizarre Foods and waiting for DH to get home from Gainesville. The boys are busy playing and doing homework. A quiet day at my house.

Did you get Focker Bracelets at FF???? If not please PM me with your info so I can send however many u need... I have 8 left now.

Jo- Nice avatar!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today was loooooong. KC worked form home as usual but we just got finished cleaning the whole house! I am tired to say the least and deciding if I wanna cook something or order out- obviously I am leaning towards ordering out.

We watched a few movies over the past few days...
Dirty Love - turned it off halfway through
Shadow of the Vampire- turned it off halfway through
In the land of Woman- good movie!!!
Waitress- cute flick
Devil Wears Prada - love it!
Borat - I can't believe I sat through it
Harry Potter 5 -I have seen it several times & LOVE it.

That was my weekend...here's lookign forward to a clean and easy week ahead!

MrsK (aka Tracy!)...........I'll have to tell my mom the story about how the servers treat your honey--she is a rehabilitation counseler and a strong advocate for the disabled--she goes into workplaces and public buildings and teaches folks how to make places accomodating.

Some people just don't seem to know better.

I call them "those" people. The people that see the chair, see that his right arm is out to the side and get that "bless your heart" look on their faces. The usually tilt their head to the side and start talking to Bill like he is 4.

They would be shocked to know that he has 3 college degrees and has a 3.8 gpa in a masters program for rehabilitation administration. He is a computer whiz and is starting to create websites for businesses specializing in making the websites accessible to people with disabilities.

We even had 2 Disney castmembers practically insisting that he take the stickers they were offering and put them on the tray on his wheelchair. We couldn't get them to shut up until we took the stickers. We gave them to children we saw later in the day. He looked at me and said "yeah Mickey pirate stickers would really look professional on my tray" . He takes it all in stride, I am the one that gets frustrated and upset.

Bless your mom for doing the work she does. There are so many places that could use that type of help.

Rafael Nadal lost in the US Open so I won't get to see this tomorrow.

Hello everyone!

First, Janet, my 2 cents worth:

RFC: Eh, we have one here. Not impressed..
Tony's: haven't tried...
50's PT: Didn't care for the food, but the onion rings were awesome. You CAN sit at the bar without an ADR.
Chef Mickey's: WE LOVE IT.
Kona: Best coffee in WDW and the Tonga was AMAZING. A must do for us now.

MrsK: I think it's awful that anyone would treat Bill like that! Some people!

Kat: Good girl, cleaning. Now take a break! You earned it. And thanks for the reminder on HBO. I'm signing up this week, and will catch it on one of the reruns (there are several this week)

CE: How's your head, girl?

Kate: Hi down there! How's everything?

HI TE, Lori, Lessa and MO! Lori, cute kid pics!!! Sweet little things!

Angela: What's up with the beefcake? Dude, no fair torturing me when Bob's outta town...(well, not yet but he will be soon...) That guy is H.O.T.

Will try out some separaters for CE...

Ok, that's enough of that....LOL.

Yesterday and today were pretty good, SD-wise. He and I played mini-golf while Gus and Bob did the driving range. We tied at 60 for 18 holes. I think that's pretty good. He was happy and normal all day. Then we went home and had dinner. He went to bed at around 11. Today, we had a big breakfast. Then he gamed for a while before his guitar lesson. No issues there at all. But, tonight when we went to CPK for pizza he got all worked up. I don't understand why this happens when we go out? I guess there isn't really a rhyme or reason. Just happens...

He is asking to take one of the valiums (a half, really) to go to school tomorrow. He calmed himself after dinner but I think it shook him up so he's worried. I said that's fine but I need to call the psych. in the am and ask if that's something she wants him doing as a rule until he sees the other dr. in two weeks.

So, other than that, my weekend was really nice. I'm watching the race that I taped earlier....so don't tell me who won! Bob and I are going to watch a movie tonight. It's called Hearts in Atlantis. I think it's a Stephen King book, we taped it on the DVR.

Oh, and the In-laws FINALLY told me that they'll be here Wednesday. Bob is leaving tomorrow night for Chicago and he won't be home until late Thurs. Figures!!!!

I wanted to post a pic of my little Steeler fans. I've taken a pic of them every year on first game day and it's so neat to see how they have grown. I should see if I have them in photobucket. But, here's todays...

How stinkin' cute are they!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soooo...it's been a lazy day here. Full of laundry. And laziness.

It's Grandparent's Day...so I made my dad dinner. He picked Ziti as his grandpa's meal! It was delish. But, I have most of left over. Anyone want some ziti???

ALSO...I got a ding for Albuquerque to Burbank today. For a time when I would like to take a quick Disney trip. Where the heck is Burbank? And can I get to Disney from Burbank??

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Good evening everybody! I had such a nice day at work today, it was so quiet after the hectic frosh week. I suspect they were all recovering from the massive amount of drinking they had all been indulging in over the past few days.


I am now spending the evening loading pictures onto photobucket. It is so hard deciding which pictures to not post in the report! That is the one problema with taking so many pictures.

First...he calmed himself!!!

Second... on the in-laws!

Third...I went to CPK for the first time in Albuquerque last weekend. And yummo. That BBQ chicken pizza is still on my mind. I think I just drooled a little!

Fourth...I was roped into watching the race with Jon. I won't give anything away. But...I forgot to tell you guys...

When Jon and I were driving back from Abq. on Monday, we travelled on I-40 with all of the racing semis and chase trucks. It was awesome. And we pulled into a rest-stop after seeing several of the driver's semis parked. And we got to take pics with the cars...and OMG!!! Jon almost DIED!!! He kept screaming things like:

"MOOOOOM! There's Jimmy's truck!!!"

Or:

"AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

 

[PrincessV]

Well, I really tried to catch up... but now I've run out of time to quote!

Rosie, I'm so sorry.


I start a year of juggling two intensive classes per semester tomorrow. On top of a full-time job and raising Leo.
Which means I may not be around much again... but I'll check in when I can and I'll try to stay up-to-date on TRs!

Lori, they're adorable!

CE it is annoying, but I am getting better at handling it. You should see the looks on the servers faces when I start physically moving the table so Bill has more room they look like this:

I am glad your grandpa is ok, it s great that you get some quite time.

Still ugh, and thanks so much.

She wanted him to tell me to let the Fockers to know that they got to Port Orleans Riverside and got a room in the AB Section with a pool view.

Excellent!

That was my weekend...here's lookign forward to a clean and easy week ahead!

Sounds good to me.

Rafael Nadal lost in the US Open so I won't get to see this tomorrow.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

DROOL.

I can't believe he lost - did you watch it? He was just not on top of his game.

CE: How's your head, girl?

Head was fine all day, just slow moving you know?

Will try out some separaters for CE...

Thank goodness. That story is !

Well... I had the neighbor kids (who played ALL afternoon, it was nice) head home at 5:00. Buzz & Woody got to pick their fave dinners for something quick, and I wanted to wait to eat until after they were in bed, so once I got them settled, I sat down at the computer to, admittedly, play some computer games.

Woody - and I know he didn't mean to upset me as much as he did - called out from the table, "Mom? You know? When you're at home all you do is be on the computer, watch TV and sleep."

I think it hit me as the classic "no one appreciates how much I do" kind of comment. I started listing, in a quiet but firm voice, all the other stuff I do: cooking, laundry, cleaning, baths, shopping, etc. and my voice got shakier and shakier and I started to cry.

Of course, that made him start wailing. You know, he's six. He kept trying to defend what he'd said, saying he didn't know it was mean. I said I knew that, but he needs to think before he speaks, that it really hurt my feelings, etc.

He just caught me at a low point, and now I feel awful about coming down so hard on him. But darn it, it also DOESN'T hurt him to realize how much I do, right? So I guess at the least, he probably won't be saying that again any time soon.

Sigh.
I hope everyone else is having a better night.

Yes, that is something! Thanks Kat!

CE: You know that we are entitled to have hurt feelings sometimes too. Chances are, he'll be over it before he falls asleep. And tomorrow is a new day. Whenever I have a day like that, I always try not to beat myself up about it. I just tell myself that it's healthy for them to see me upset sometimes.

LY anyway though. It's not an easy job, is it?

So I have breaking news from Enchanted....

Kristel (lazydoxy) text Scottny. She wanted him to tell me to let the Fockers to know that they got to Port Orleans Riverside and got a room in the AB Section with a pool view.

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

Well, my baby got all weepy getting his bath and going to bed. I think he is a little nervous about starting school tomorrow. He started talking about how much he missed Tink when she was at the doggie hotel. 2 weeks ago IT almost broke my heart. Luckily Jim was able to get him calmed and laughing, because I was just a mess

Lessa - The moat

I ordered my PP CD today and paid for the express shipping. Anyone have any idea how long that will take?
