Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[PrincessV]

Morning! Dudes, I feel like a 5-ton weight was lifted off my shoulders this morning.

I'm just popping in - it was quiet around here last night! Coloring my roots now and planning to catch some sunshine this afternoon after a trip to Target. Tonight, I'm hitting the town to celebrate two friends' birthdays. Look ma, I have a social life again, lol!

Jodi -
Dawn - good luck with the house!

All - have a lovely Saturday

 

[ncsjodi]

Forgot to mention (I think) that our Wii arrived yesterday! It came much quicker than we were expecting, so DH and the girls played with it last night while I was scrapbooking. Of course, all we have right now is the Sports pak that it came with. I've gotta try this thing out....

 

[Miz Diz]

I found a house I want to buy. Now, how to sell this house?

Busy, busy, busy weekend!

Get it done girl.

I'm so glad you're better. I am able to move, but am using a lot of Advil. I can't figure out what happened to me.

I think it was this last birthday. (I noticed that I'm 17 days older than you.)

Back from the pediatrician...... and it's strep!

I hate strep! Sorry to hear.

So, I've got an appointment for next Wednesday to talk about our options and make some decisions.

That's so tough.

Well I had a great supper a Ponderosa !!! Had lots of seafood so I am a happy camper !!! Judy gave me a gift card to buy clothes for my Disney trip from all of them!! I am feeling very special today !!! Cake is made by the girls ,but we are all to full for now !!
Weather i nice enough for Kyle to play outside and it's still light !! Things are going well !!

Sounds like you had a nice b-day.

. Then I think we're watching HSM2.

You have to see HSM3. The boys are back is my fave scene.

Forgot to mention that our Wii came today!

Fun!

Hey Kate! I've got a friend whose DH just got a job in Columbia, so they're going to be moving there in April. What can you tell me?

Not Kate, but most of my family lives in Cola and I lived there for years.
My sis says that Irmo and Lexington have the best schools. What area is the job? I also know several State Farm agents in the area if they want a recommendation for insurance.

Tonight, I'm hitting the town to celebrate two friends' birthdays. Look ma, I have a social life again, lol!

That sounds fun!

 

[DisneyJo]

Hi Guys Wow you guys aren't chatty at all, are you all ill???

V I'm so pleased and have fun tonight!!

Jodi I'm sorry about your doggie but I'm glad you had fun last night

Rosie sounds like a great Birthday meal, I can remember eating at a Ponderosa as a kid!

CE have fun with Dr Belle, keep meaning to ask is she actually a Dr?

Ummmm hi everyone else


The girls are making tarts, they're using ready made pastry and putting jam in some, corn syrup in others and the nicest of all and I never would have thought of it is chocolate spread. I went to a Pampered Chef party years ago and they did chocolate spread tarts and apple sauce tarts, delicious

He's going to be the district pharmacy manager for CVS, so I think he'll be responsible for about 20 stores. I know they've already got an area where they're looking for houses. I'll have to check to see where it is. The husband has a really good friend from pharmacy school that lives there, so I'm sure he's getting all the good scoop from him.

They're putting their house here on the market soon, but luckily the company will buy it if it doesn't sell. They've got so much going on right now. She's 15 weeks pregnant with their second child (after a miscarriage last summer) and her mom was just diagnosed with colon cancer. Plus, the stress of moving to a place where she knows no one. I'm just hoping that everything goes smoothly, you know?

Hi All!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday.

Angela have a lovely cruise!!!!

Katt: on your back.

Jodi: on the Wii arriving

V: Have a sunshiney day!

***************************************

Well I just got back from my day at the spa and OMG!!

That is the best treat anyone could do for themselves. My dad's wife and I went, she said it's an early birthday present.

We got facials, massage, mani/pedi and steam room. I am so relaxed and feel so refreshed.

Anyhoo, don't know what the plans are for today. It was rainy here this morning. I might hang with my cousin and mom's side of the family since I haven't visited with them today. We'll see.

Have a good day ya'll!!

 

[princessjv]

Anyone have a list of things that must be tried in EP, WS? I want to have a list.

Anyone have a list of things that must be tried in EP, WS? I want to have a list.

Not a list, but here's what I can think of at the moment:

French bakery - though the crepe stand is yummier, IMNSHO

Hey Jen! I got nothing, nada, nilch done last night! I had forgotten to print my photopass pics, so I didn't want to start without them. I did, however, crop my pics so that they're all trimmed up and ready to go when I get the other ones.

As for the Girls weekend, I'd love to go, if there's others interested!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Hi Fockers!

I'm sitting here with Rockie and her kids at her house in Ohio! We ate at a German restaurant called Schmidt's. No wiener salad! But it was so good. We have a half pound peanut butter cream puff and a slice of banana cream pie that we ordered to go. I'm just about ready to try them now that my bratworst has settled.

I hope all is well. I'll try to catch up tomorrow evening.

 

[englishrose47]

Boy can I use some HUGS !!! I have had an awful day! Started before 9am! The gal who was on call for me yesterday called to fill me in!!! I have a staff out on admins. leave due to abuse charges,so that meant filling all her hours which on a weekend is good for 3 -4 hours on the phone to get hold of people ! Then I had a call off !! I finally got things OK for at least a few days and tried to do my financials !! Couldn't find my accounts list !! Then when I winged it by looking them up I found they were all wrong !!! I just packed it up called my boss and said I have to go I am over the edge !! I will be soo glad when the new manager can take over all this hopefully next week!!

 

[ncsjodi]

for you, Rosie!

 

[Muffinygood]

I basically just sat around and talked to friends. I think that's what I needed anyway.

Glad you got some girlie time, Jodi.

By guys! See you when I get back, some of you IRL. Kristel, if you could just PM me your updates.

Tell Mitch Happy Birthday from us!! Have a great time! See you soon!

So, while I feel like staying in my PJs, I guess I'd better get everyone up and dressed in case anyone wants to come see the house. I'm hoping for better weather today. The forecast says cloudy and cold, which is better than the rainy weather we've had for the past two days.

What's everyone else up to today?

I wholeheartedly endorse the pjs all day idea. I'm in mine, and have been since I got home with Gus.

Morning! Dudes, I feel like a 5-ton weight was lifted off my shoulders this morning.

Really Really Glad that the work WEIGHT is lifted. Hope you had a great Saturday!

Not a list, but here's what I can think of at the moment:

Candy lady in Japan
Bakkugan supplies at Japan store
Saki bar in Japan store
(we REALLY like Japan, lol!)

Love V's list, and here's some of mine.
1. I love to take the time to see the Koi in the pond in Japan. They're so pretty and it's a nice spot to chill out.
2. Funnel cakes in Amercian Pavillion. (you didn't think I'd skip it, did you?)
3. Belly dancer in Morocco. (Bob likes this...)
4. School bread in Norway
5. We love the Fife and Drummers in America too!

HI all. Crazy day. We went to the zoo...Jimmy had a meltdown We came home...told him if he listened for the rest of the day and at bedtime we could go back tomorrow to see what me missed.

Sorry about the meltdown. Here's hoping that today and tonight go smoothly!

half pound peanut butter cream puff and a slice of banana cream pie

Yummo!

Boy can I use some HUGS !!!

*****************
Busy but nice day here in Michigan! It was 54 degrees and sunny. Break out the shorts. LOL
Got up about 8:30 this morning. Had coffee and pop tarts (what!? it's the breakfast of champions...LOL) Took both boys to music lessons, grabbed a couple of groceries, bought salsa from my fave Mex. place, went home. Made the kiddos some lunch and then took Gus out to buy new sneakers.

SD went to a friend's house and he's gone for the night. Gus decided to have a friend here to spend the night, so he's going to be here soon.

I made BLT's and chips/salsa for dinner. Oh, and we baked cupcakes! Yum! It was a nice day, all in all. Bob did a ton of stuff in the yard. He's got spring fever! Tomorrow I am going to chill out at home and do laundry.

Check out this awesome website. It's the perfect answer to the kid who wants to dig a hole to China....

Hi everyone!

Just a quick drive-by to say hello! It's been quite a busy week. I may be able to stop in for a longer stay a little later on tonight.

TTFN!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I could have stayed in my PJs, as it turned out... We didn't get one call about seeing the house. It's so gloomy here. It's been raining and cold since the house was listed. I'm hoping tomorrow's better. I also hope the nice weather next week will draw people to looking. We'll see.

JenJV- I didn't realize the kids still didn't know you're going to Disney. When will you tell them? Details, please? As for Epcot, I am looking forward to doing the Kim Possible stuff the most. Did you ever figure out the e-checkin thing? I read they send you an e-mail. Is that true?

Katt- I hope you feel better.

Rosie- for you too.

Hey, Mr. T!

Jodi- I bought a bottle of wine for my night too.

Mel- I'm glad you had a nice day.

V- I hope you enjoyed the sun. I was just looking at the forecast for next week. Looks nice!

I'm at nine days and counting!!! ​

 

[kykatt2]

Katt- I hope you feel better.

I'm at nine days and counting!!! ​

I am feeling better at the moment... did NOTHING today... even took a Nap and cancelled Sarabeth's playdate due to my back and the Familyroom still in shambles.

9 Days..... Wish I could go

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, Katt.

Last minute trip?

 

[kykatt2]

I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, Katt.

Last minute trip?

Yeah.. there is a little problem with School.. and the fact that I HAVE NEVER LEFT SARABETH Other than Hospital things... so I am forbidden to go anywhere without her.

Sometimes... My Mom crawls out of my Daughter

 

[ncsjodi]

Well, the wine is now opened. The girls were sent to bed early because they were beating on each other. I had enough and told them to go to bed. You can pass that MOTY award over here!
