[kykatt2]

Oh no she din't!

You did NOT just say that, Katt! OMG!

O.K Gals... BY THAT I mean... HOW COULD A REAL DAD NOT do something special for their child....

I in NO WAY... meant that Leo was not his kid for real. Come on guys... how insentitive do you really think I am . Maybe I sould have just put a crown in my note and crowned V's EX King BUTT..

Because it does seem rather self centered and selfish that He would not Have a Party for Leo.
NOT DEFENDING HIM AT ALL... Just do not understand how a DAD could do that.

This is where I spent most of my time. The roof was usually open.

Lobster mac & cheese. Quite possibly the best thing I have ever eaten.

Our dinner companions. One couple was from Ecuador and spoke little English, but we managed and they are great people. I must learn Spanish!
The other couple had only been dating 4 months and decided they really didn't like each other that much. Not at all uncomfortable! It really wasn't that bad, but he was an a$$.

Angela those pictures are gorgeous. So glad that you had a fabulous time, even with the jerk at your dinner table!

I'm thinking of writing on my blog, but honesly, I think I'm too lazy.

Do it, I read your blog

Well you know me, Kat and Mo would - Hint Hint!

I wish, there is no way I can afford to do that one!!!

You sound just devastated

and yes, Jo.........I would be honoured to have your autograph!

Do you still have my Christmas card from last year?

I'm listening to "shopaholic and baby" book on CD (it's great!)...........and of course the narrator is British as it's based in London, so I'm finding myself saying "wow---that's so posh!" "isn't it FAB??"
Do people say that or it's just Becky in the book??

Of course we talk like that (actually fab isn't a word we say much anymore) Have you watched my video on the Mom's Panel? We all say lovely alot here

Good Job, Jo! I'm proud of you for finishing the job! I want to see it when you're done.

Well it's only half done

Mel's. She's a gummy worm addict. She kept slipping them to my kids on dark rides.

Blame it on Mel Great TR it was worth the wait

Wow Dawn--<<sniff sniff>> that was the........uh.........best.......trip report I've read.........I laughed...........I cried..........I read the whole thing!

At least she finished it

The other couple had only been dating 4 months and decided they really didn't like each other that much. Not at all uncomfortable! It really wasn't that bad, but he was an a$$.

So which one was the donkey? Lovely photos Angela you're getting very good

Towel animals, cool!!!



I just spoke to my Nanny (Grandmother) who is 89, we speak every week well she sounded not right, her speach all sounded slurred So I called my Mum straight away, she lives next door to her, and she went and checked and she said she was OK but in the last few weeks has really gone down hill She is waiting the results of a blood test and has a leaky heart valve so hopefully they'll treat it quickly.

 

[carrieannie]

What details, TE? We went, we rode, we swam, we ate... we met friends, we rode some more, we ate gummy worms, and we got stuck on EE and had to walk 13 flights of stairs to get down. The end.

I'm thinking of writing on my blog, but honesly, I think I'm too lazy. I've been thinking about all the moving and school stuff, so the trip was a nice diversion. Writing about it is work. And I'm tired of work.

Terrific TR Dawn!!

I met JenV, Jen M, Mel, Angela, Z and Yani!
I had a margarita with JenV and JenM, then we rode Maelstrom together.
I met Angela, JenM, and Mel for lunch at Cosmic Rays and Mel's favortie- funnel cake.
I met Z, Mel, and Yani for Illuminations and a slushie.
Mel and I pretty much hung out the rest of the time together except when I was too tired to party with her, Z and Yani at Raglan Road. We did Wishes and Lapus onthe beach one night and had dinner with the evil sept sisters at 1900 PF.


Mel's. She's a gummy worm addict. She kept slipping them to my kids on dark rides.

I would say Ohana was my favorite meal, but the fun we had at 1900PF was the best.

We rode EE on our DVC magical fast passes, and got in line to ride again. When we got to the top, where the broken track is, we sat there for about 15 minutes. It was so hot, we were burning. They sent CMs to come let us out and walk us down the steps inside the ride. They gave us more fast passes (whoopie) and we left. We ate lunch and went back to ride again. That time was uneventful and it was still our favortie ride.

EVEN BETTER TR Dawn!!

You're gonna need a disclaimer for that........we need to have authentic fine print assurance that you are not Jo.....do not plan to ever BE Jo........and do not plan to see Jo whilst anywhere on Disney property.

I`ve missed you TE...

WOW! I want some NOW!!! your cruise pictures were great Angela!

 

[CelticBelle]

great pictures!

My roommate when i was in florida went on a disney cruise. When she came back she showed me pictures of every meal. I was salivating like this dog.

Thats what your mac and cheese made me do too.

See i get one break between classes and what do i end up doing. sitting around reading your posts!

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

We have a showing today. I'm hoping good things. We found a house that Kirt and I really like on-line. He wants to go look at it today. He says if he likes it he may ask his boss to buy it and sell it to us when our house sells.
I don't know if that's reasonable, though. I'm all confused now.

Good Luck Dawn! Hope the showing goes well. I thought you guys were building a house?

Hope you guys have a good day. I'll check back in later!

MEL

Hi Mel!

Morning, all!

Hi CE! Glad your having a good time with your mom!

Sarabeth is home sick... I have to go BACK to the Dr and get a Sick Note because I think I need the documentation... after they threatened me at the first of the school year with Sara's absences last school year. Talking Court and Family Services.. and the "MONITORING" of her absences.

This stomach bug is rough that she has. She has cried and I wound up sleeping with her last night for a while. NOTHING makes the stomach not hurt. I hate not being able to help her feel better.

Hope SB feels beeter very soon!

Morning all! Got to work and hit the ground running. Had a couple of minutes to catch up with you all soooo. Hi No word from V. I guess they don't have WiFi or she got picked for a jury

BBL

Hi Janet!

The other couple had only been dating 4 months and decided they really didn't like each other that much. Not at all uncomfortable! It really wasn't that bad, but he was an a$$.

Great pictures! The lobster mac-n-cheese looks so yummy!

I just spoke to my Nanny (Grandmother) who is 89, we speak every week well she sounded not right, her speach all sounded slurred So I called my Mum straight away, she lives next door to her, and she went and checked and she said she was OK but in the last few weeks has really gone down hill She is waiting the results of a blood test and has a leaky heart valve so hopefully they'll treat it quickly.

Hi to all I missed!

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

Not much planned today. Both kids are at school. I have the kitchen and family room cleaned. I need to get to the living room but that can wait a few more minutes. I also need to make a quick run to the store for a few things for dinner. I hate taking the kids with me so maybe I'll do that before cleaning the living room. LOL

For some reason I keep thinking today is Tuesday and it surprised me when CE said something about Happy Hump Day. Of course I was thinking yestereday was Wednesday. Yes, I'm weird. LOL

OK...of to the store. Be back later!

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

My roommate when i was in florida went on a disney cruise. When she came back she showed me pictures of every meal. I was salivating like this dog.

That prety much looks like my dog while watching my kids eat and just sitting there waiting for them to drop something.

 

[CelticBelle]

BYE!

Off to biology and then i get to go to my presentation for the CP. Im kind of nervous, but i dont know why because all were doing is watching a video together. There probably wont even be very many people showing up. I had a dream that everyone thought i told them the presentation would be about loggers. then when they found out is was about disney they were mad. And my partner was mad that i brought people in under false pretenses! I hope that doesnt happen.

Have a magical day everyone!

 

[askelton]

So glad that you had a fabulous time, even with the jerk at your dinner table!

So which one was the donkey?

The one in the front. Mitch got along with him, but then Mitch gets along with everyone. He just thought he was all that, and wasn't. In one of the first ports, he and his GF were walking through the town and she fell and really scraped her knee. All the shop people were trying to help her and get medical attention while he continued shopping. She had to get back to the ship by herself. At least she figured him out before they dated too long.

I just spoke to my Nanny (Grandmother) who is 89, we speak every week well she sounded not right, her speach all sounded slurred So I called my Mum straight away, she lives next door to her, and she went and checked and she said she was OK but in the last few weeks has really gone down hill She is waiting the results of a blood test and has a leaky heart valve so hopefully they'll treat it quickly.

to you and Nanny!

Off to biology and then i get to go to my presentation for the CP.

Good luck!

 

[Muffinygood]

Too lazy to quote............

Cleaned the whole main floor. Just have to get the clean sheets on my bed and dust my bedroom. I left the boy's rooms for them to handle. I am so sick of having to pick up their rooms BEFORE I vacuum them! Grrr.

Made pork in the crockpot for pulled pork sammies for dinner. YUM. Bob called and he's on his way home from Ohio. That's good news! I made it to the gym this morning and then came home and fell asleep! What does that mean?

Lori: Good job on the cleaning. I have been all messed up this week too. I keep thinking it's Thursday.

Janet: Hi!

JO: Sorry about Nanny. I really hope whatever it is, they fix it quick for her.

Angela: Great pics (love the one of Mitch!). We have a small resturaunt in town that makes a Lobster Mac and Cheese. It's delish but it HURTS me. (Milk!) Sometimes I eat it anyway and just suffer, it's that good.

Z: I forgot to answer you this morning. I think doing a water park would be fun. What about doing BB and then Winter Summerland for putt putt? That is pretty inexpensive! I've gotten two long emails from Yani so far. She's so funny! Sounds like her training is going well.

TE: HELLO!

Sam: Don't worry about your class. Funny story though!

************
gotta go get my kiddos soon. I'm done cleaning, and showering so I can have a cup of coffee now and chill.
MEL

 

[jcc0621]

Hi Mel Wow you got alot done! You are on FIRE!

Jo

 

[KatGarcia]

Kat: sweetie. I've been in that funk I know how you feel.

I wonder if we should just do a waterpark or something.

Thanks. I actually tried to talk out the funk last night with KC, it helped some.

I think doing a waterpark and some DTD, some resort hopping would save a lot of $. It's still Disney, right?!

It is dead here if I'm second.

Z- I had a regular base ticket and got the $75 gift card.

We have a showing today. I'm hoping good things. We found a house that Kirt and I really like on-line. He wants to go look at it today. He says if he likes it he may ask his boss to buy it and sell it to us when our house sells.
I don't know if that's reasonable, though. I'm all confused now.

good luck!

Morning, all!

Sounds like a great time with your mom, enjoy!!!

You know this magic meets thing in August that Janet, Kat and Mo may go to well apparently they have different tables where you can meet Disney people such as Deb from allears, Lou Mongello, Steve Barratt (Hidden Mickeys) wellthey're talking about having a Mom's Panel table where you can meet the Moms, get their autographs and have your photo taken. Anyone want my autograph Do you think anyone would?

I would run up to the table all "I know Jo!"

I just spoke to my Nanny (Grandmother) who is 89, we speak every week well she sounded not right, her speach all sounded slurred So I called my Mum straight away, she lives next door to her, and she went and checked and she said she was OK but in the last few weeks has really gone down hill She is waiting the results of a blood test and has a leaky heart valve so hopefully they'll treat it quickly.

I'm sorry Jo, I hope things turn out well.

ANGELA--> GREAT pics! You're so darn tan!

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Hola Fockers, Como Estas?

It's rainy and dark here, so much for the possible date with KC. We decided to go out tomorrow. We are going to go in search of "the best cheesesteak in NYC". I also plan to visit a book store called "Strand" (http://www.strandbooks.com/). They have all kinds of rare books and stuff. I may see if they have the UK versions of Harry Potter!

Not much going on today. Left overs for dinner (chili pie w the corn bread top) so I may bake some cookies to kill some time and have something for dessert later.

At some point I'd like to clean out the junk drawers too (we have a few) and see if I can ditch anything.

Happy Hump Day!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Good afternoon, Ladies and, um, Gents! (Where are the guys?)

First off-
DAWN your TR sux. What an insult to Fockerdom! I know you have a house showing so I'll give you a break this time.

V's in court. No word on her jury duty.

KAT is having another glum day. I wish I lived closer!

Hedy ????? I know she said something enlightening and profound. I just can't remember what.

MO has poor security at her office. They let a disgruntled former customer in. Everything is fine - SCARY! I'm glad you are OK!

ROSIE, I would love to have you for a SuperV. 'Cause I can tell that is what you are!

KATT's said SB placed 2nd in the County Reflections competition. SB is not happy. I think it is great! SB is sick today.

CEL BEL is big time busy with life. And the Fockers make her clean up her closets. Love the dog slobber. That's me whenever I hear the words Krispy Kreme. Then I cry 'cause words aren't enough.

Z is trying to plan a B-day celebration at WDW. It's not working out.

MEL says Bob is in OHIO. Her house is the pits but she needs to work off the Disney pounds.

CE's mom is still in town. They are having a great time. She has her !%$#&@ candle party on Sunday. (Her words, not mine.)

JO was shattered after stripping. She wants to know if anyone wants her autograph. Will it sell on E-bay?

JANET flew by!

ANGIE knows how to do a TR. Post #1822 on the previous page. Very nice pictures. Yeah, you can tell which guy is the jerk in that picture!

LORI hates taking the kids to the store. Hum, I wonder why? I hate taking Doug to the store. He sneaks things in the cart just like a kid.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Thanks guys for your support.
Doh! The stupervisor had a chat with me. It seems a rat told him about not so nice comments after he left the room. I played dumb. I wasn't born yesterday. Hear-say don't count.

It did give me the opportunity to stress that I didn't like the way he handled the situation. I told him that telling me to 'Work with it' wasn't good enough. Of course he said that he did not say it like that he said 'We will work with it.' Evidently his memory is like mine on recalling what we say. That's OK. I also, in not so many words, told him the situation could have been avoided if someone had explained the rules to Miss Thing.

She's playing along. I got a 'oh so nice' e-mail from her. Whatever. She is such a phony. As long as she doesn't screw with me we will be fine. Thank goodness I don't have to see or work with her as she leaves 2 hours before I get there.

I got my new suitcase today. Love it!
And some trees and ornamental grasses that I ordered. I guess I'll be digging some holes tomorrow...for the plants not the suitcase.

Later, my fine Fockers!

Me and Rockie at our Afterprom, 1984.

 

[jcc0621]

We are going to go in search of "the best cheesesteak in NYC".

But to get THE BEST you have to come to Philly

V's in court. No word on her jury duty.

I talked to her on FB. She got picked to go to round 2. Not actually picked for a panel, but through the first round of questioning!

Me and Rockie at our Afterprom, 1984.

Are those Jordache Jeans????

 

[cmp1111]

Afternoon, all!

Yoga for the boys got canceled - I'm guessing sick instructor, as they didn't call until after 3:00.

The boys want to take Grammy out for Chinese food tonight - yum!

Um...

Jo - sorry about your Granny.

Dawn - how'd the showing go? Nice TR!

Kat - hope the funk clears.

Katt - I understand SB's disappointment, but I think it's great, too.

V - hope the jury duty is over soon.

Angela - terrific photos! It looks like fun. I picked the $&* out right away.

Hi Mel, Janet, TE, Sam, Kristel, Lori... Am I forgetting anyone? I don't mean to. Hi, everyone!

Mom & I hit the mall and the new Sephora store. Then, we had a nice lunch (with wine! ) and went to Trader Joe's. I was really glad, frankly, that yoga was canceled, because now I'm feeling lazy. The one glass of wine combined with a suddenly cloudy sky is doing me in! Chinese food will really be the kicker - it always makes me sleepy.

I'll check back later, or tomorrow!

 

[TEminnie]

Of course we talk like that (actually fab isn't a word we say much anymore) Have you watched my video on the Mom's Panel? We all say lovely alot here

.

Why yes..........I thought you sounded quite lovely! (is being posh a good thing or kinda a snobby thing?? As in "she sounded so-o posh"

Hope you Nanny gets to feeling better. It's hard when they are that age. My Nana is passing out whenver she stands up.....I talked to her doctor yesterday and she has hypotension (Blood pressure drops when she stands).........it's tough cause she like to go-go-go.

[ I`ve missed you TE...

Missed you too!

...............ahem......Dawn...........SHE added pics to her trip report!

 

[DisneyJo]

Thanks for the hugs about my Nanny, she's 89 and says she's happy to go, has said that for years, but I don't want her to

For some reason I keep thinking today is Tuesday and it surprised me when CE said something about Happy Hump Day. Of course I was thinking yestereday was Wednesday. Yes, I'm weird. LOL

The trouble is the days and weeks are just flying by

Off to biology and then i get to go to my presentation for the CP. Im kind of nervous, but i dont know why because all were doing is watching a video together.

Are you watching or doing it????

In one of the first ports, he and his GF were walking through the town and she fell and really scraped her knee. All the shop people were trying to help her and get medical attention while he continued shopping. She had to get back to the ship by herself. At least she figured him out before they dated too long.

He didn't Thank goodness she saw sense!

I made it to the gym this morning and then came home and fell asleep! What does that mean?

That you worked out really hard

I would run up to the table all "I know Jo!"

If you go you've got to do that

They have all kinds of rare books and stuff. I may see if they have the UK versions of Harry Potter!

If you can't find them let me know before I come in September!!!

JO was shattered after stripping.

Glad nasty lady is gone before you get there and woohoo on the new case, that was quick!!!!



I've just got the Wii Fit out and I haven't been on for 47 days I'm surprised it didn't shout at me I've only put on 1 pound though and it was 8pm when I got on it so I may have even lost weight if that makes sense
