Team Focker Watch - Version 8: When V's Away.. The "Katt" will Play

[HomeschoolMama]

See, now you're all depressing me, since I don't have a trip to plan.

It all looks good. Dawn, you arrive on D's birthday and the next is the boys' - have a birthday drink with your anniversary celebration for the NH contingent, OK?

My mom and grandma are all upset because my *@*$&@* uncle called, all ticked because he didn't know they got here safely. Well, he said HE would call here Friday night, to see if they came or not, and waited until today to do it, then wouldn't talk to my mom and chewed out Grandma.

***hole.

We went bowling, so that was fun, and I think we're ordering in pizza and sandwiches. So it will be fine, but seriously...

Anyway, better go take care of dinner. Just needed a quick vent. Thanks!

I'll add a Lapu to my list for you all!
Family... so fun. We had a little stress here with everyone being at my house all Thursday, so I've been there.

OK guys I'm off to bed, see you tomorrow if I survive the shopping trip

Good night, Jo!

Gus and I went to tour the Athletic Club near us. I've been debating a membership for a while now and they are pretty close to our house.
We usually do a summer membership at the older, raquet club in the opposite direction but it's old and needs updating. I hate their locker/bathrooms and they had NO amenities at all to speak of. The new club has TONS of classes, like spinning, pilates, yoga, weight training, water aerobics and they are all included in the price!!! A great NEW pool with clean locker rooms too! AND it's cheaper! SO, I think we'll do it. Yay!!!

Ooh, fun - sounds a bit like my club. Not that I've been doing much but tennis lately, but...

So, what do you guys think? I need a bfast of puffy french toast in there somewhere. Oh, and the kids want to do a water park, but in my opinion it's WAY too cold to do that in Jan.

Are the WPs open year round? I honestly don't know!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Well, thankfully Bob doesn't have to do the laying off! That would kill him, I think.

Yeah, it's hard on him.

Hello Fockers!

Gus and I went to tour the Athletic Club near us. I've been debating a membership for a while now and they are pretty close to our house.

Then we went and got the bindings put on his new snowboard. That was easy enough. Finally, we dropped into Lane Bryant to return an UGLY turtleneck that Bob bought me for Xmas. (he's not ALWAYS good at gifts...) I got two long sleeve t's instead.

I've got dinner all made. We're having a three bean soup, it smells so good. Gus is having salmon. He didn't want soup!

Tonight we are watching Wall E. The boys got it from my mom for Xmas.

The WDW plans all look great. I haven't got mine worked out yet. I only know:
1/25 fly to FL
1/26 Epcot/9 dragons dinner
1/27
1/28
1/29
1/30 DHS
1/31 fly home

Gimme what you got!!

MEL

I just called your cell, girl. What up?

I'm almost tapped out on planning. I need more details of what you want to do and eat! I'll look at it for you soon, though if you give me more info.

 

[cmp1111]

I'll add a Lapu to my list for you all!

Thanks!

Ah, thank you.

Sorry about the drama! Dang family....

The WPs alternate closing each winter. This winter BB is open. That's good cuz they went to TL this summer when we were there. I cannot imagine spending the price of admission though and then it being 50 degrees! BRRR.

[HomeschoolMama]

Mel- We didn't swim at all in January, but we're from where we don't go near water unless it's 90+ out!

 

[cmp1111]

He's just a jerk all around. He's not working, told Mom he'd come and stay for a week in early Dec. so that she could have "time off" caring for her mom and do shopping and stuff, then never heard about it again from him. Then this - saying he'd call, not call, then get PO'ed at grandma about it - like it's her fault, even if my mom was supposed to have called. Grrr. It's fine, it's just... Grrr.

Ah, got it. Can you just buy a one day WP ticket IF the weather is decent when you're there? Have an alternate plan if weather is sucky?

 

[Goofyluver]

I think I have a plan...
4/26- Epcot (dinner @ Garden Grill)
4/27- MK (our anniversary dinner @ Ohana)
4/28- AK/DTD
4/29- Epcot (dinner @ Coral Reef)
4/30- DHS (Mama Melrose's Fantasmic Package)
5/1- MK (1900 Park Faire)
5/2- Epcot (dinner at Le Cellier)
5/3- MK? Whatever park we want a half day at...
(late lunch at Kona- then hit the road)

How's it look?

See, Jen? You caught me in a planning mode!

Your plans look great!!! I'm tweaking some things on mine...maybe. And then we'll make ADR's manana. I can't believe I'm just under 3 months away!

I know. It doesn't change the deadline though, and I need to be ready to jump when the client is available tomorrow morning to get all the ducks in a row for filing...

If I don't, I'm more likely to be stressing tomorrow in the early evening about getting the document filed timely. During my career, I've had enough 11PM jaunts to the 24-hour post office near the airport to assure a mailing date before midnight to know that it stresses me to no end to bring it down to the wire. It still may happen if for some reason the client is not ready or unavailable when I need input. I just hope not. At least nowadays, I'll be frantically trying to electronically file something over the Internet at 11PM rather than driving to the airport post office.

At this point though, I'm just happy I've got work to do that I can bill out at the end of this month, and hopefully, have paid by the end of January.

Anyway, it's just after 5PM here, so I'm calling it a day on the work side and going to see how Jenny and the kids are doing downstairs. Have a good evening everyone!

Rest. go have fun with your kiddos. You work too hard!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Good luck with the ADRs. Time will fly and it will be here before you know it!

Now K's really home. I'm out. We're having chicken and dumplings tonight and playing a new game we got for Christmas.

 

[askelton]

I was feeling better last night so I decided to open my new Wii Fit. I fell off the board hula hooping.

Somehow I think I would end up the same way!

It appears I will be at Epcot on your b-day. Grey Goose slushie it is!

What a wonderful b'day celebration!

Wow Dawn is good, next years Moms Panellist I think

Yes, now that we rub elbows with the stars, I don't want it to end!

See, now you're all depressing me, since I don't have a trip to plan.

Well, that's an easy fix!

[Goofyluver]

[KatGarcia]

Hello all!

What a loooong few days!

Yesterday KC got stuck working late (3 hours) and I ended up going to the very barren World of Disney store and exchanging my tree topper for one lousy ornament! LOL. Then I had a nice Japanese meal with D & Lou and we met KC at the bar where out friends party was. We ended up staying until after 2am!

Then KC got up for work again this morning and I slept in. Needless to say I feel like a zombie today! KC went to the store to pick up some groceries and I am relaxing here.

We are trying to figure out what the heck to do for NYE. We are def staying home but we may or may not have a few friends over. I haven't decided if i wanna host anything yet.

So cold cuts for dinner and probably watching some more Supernatural.

How is everyone else doing????

 

[jcc0621]

It's official ... I'm addicted to the Wii. It's my new crack. Must. Go. Back. And. Play.

Looks good, the only thing I have heard is that service at Mama Melrose's is S.L.O.WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I would get an early ADR, I know several people who missed FAntasmic becasue of the the slow service. As a matter of fact, where is TE? I think she was one of them!

Have a good night!

See, now you're all depressing me, since I don't have a trip to plan.

August looks good CE, maybe we can get another tropical storm to visit

My mom and grandma are all upset because my *@*$&@* uncle called, all ticked because he didn't know they got here safely. Well, he said HE would call here Friday night, to see if they came or not, and waited until today to do it, then wouldn't talk to my mom and chewed out Grandma.

***hole.

Jim has just given up on buying me clothes!

Ack! Kirt's home! Abort! I'm outta here![/COLOR]

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

Hi Kat, Angela, and Mr. T

Well, the LAST of my company has left! I'm free Jimmy and Sarah are watching Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas and snuggled up in their sleeping bags. It's nice and quiet

All this planning talk has got meitching to plan. If you notice my ticker you will notice that we are going back to Pop becasue that's where Jimmy wants to stay, so that is what we are going to do. Jim wants to drive down this time I'm spoiled the last 2 years flying and getting there in 2 hours, I am not really enthusiastic about this

HIs argument is having our own car so we can go do other things . I think I am going to investigate renting a car for a day or 2 and see if I can talk him into that instead!

Hi everyone. Just woke up from a 3 hour nap. My fever won't break. I am thinking there better be a miracle before tomorrow AM. I am also coughing up a lung, which is amplified with my asthma. Yuck! I can't stand this virus. I had the flu shot too.

Great plans Dawn!


Jen, Why can't I PM you?
