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

[askelton]

I nearly made Tony spit coffee earlier...I came down the stairs in a red (jingle bell red according to Michael) sweatsuit and my mom said "Oh you look cute"...naturally, feeling like a sausage stuffed in a hot dog casing, I asked her...

"It doesn't scream Hey Kool-Aid, does it?"

At least if you're not working, we'll get more of these!



Cheers, Poppy.

"It doesn't scream Hey Kool-Aid, does it?"

Did Michael even know what Kool Aid is

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Janet....I like your New Year stuff

 

[Mrs. The King]

Thank you all for drinking to Poppy! He loved a good cocktail!

 

[rachel3]

Watch it lady. I'm scrappy.

I'm aware...

Read Kim Harrison- her books are addicting!

I haven't read the last one, but yup!

I'm not starting until next Monday, when the girls go back to school and things settle down. We're slated to go out for our anniversary dinner on the 1st and I'm going to go out with a bang!

That would be better for me, too - with the company, I can't eat "normally"... I like the 5th...

Never

Thank you. I really do love you.

I just had a PM from a DISer I don't know who said she can't see the photos on my TR and could I tell her where else she could see them You can all see them, right???

I can see them. It's a real live axe murderer!!!!

Does anyone else's Wii Fit say "ow" when you step on?

Yes.

Dude, I think you're talled than 5'10", either that or I'm more like 5'8" than 5'9".

Heck, I don't know.

The thing is you're tall and thin, so you look much taller than I do. Gain some weight and then we'll talk.

Oh, I promise. I weigh a lot. I do have the big bone structure where you might not guess what I actually weigh, but it's not good. And you are gorgeous, so shut up.

and we prefer terms other than midget:
short and sweet
cute, smart, witty, little person
altitudally inferior

I wouldn't know a thing about that!

Are you ducking in our picture?

We're home. What a long friggin' appointment! I sent out invites to the people who PM'd me and the people who said to count them in. If I missed anyone, let me know.

Me, me!!! Do you have my email? I did the last questionnaire one... If not, let me know.

I don't think I ever told you about a really cool part of my trip did I? We were given a super duper fast pass, literally we could go up to any FP machine and as long as it had FP's left in it our card would give us a FP to use straight away, so no wait It was fantastic and I so wish we could always have one Unfortunately it ran out when we left There was one time we were at DHS and all the FP's had gone but we managed to sweet talk the CM at ToT

Yeah, yeah. The whole trip was one frickin big dream. We get it.

Seriously, that's fantastic!

Hi everyone
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa was good to you all.
I am still digging out of all the carp we got here.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi, Theresa! Missed you! How are the boys?

Mrs. the King posted that her Poppy died today. She wants everyone to raise a glass for him.
Let's send her hugs, shall we?

for Deb. I'm having wine, and I'll lift my glass for Poppy. I know it's hard, even if you expect it and they had a long, full life.

"It doesn't scream Hey Kool-Aid, does it?"

Oh, LL...

*******************************************************
Well, we went out and got my dad's present, whilst D & Woody skied and Dad watched.

We tried a new grocery store that just opened, and it was eh. Isn't it funny how we get to like one and won't go anywhere else?

So I think D & Buzz will ski tomorrow. I have to go to Target for a prescription, and that will be our outing. Woohoo!

I think we might watch a movie, so I'll probably catch you later!

I was witness to the most beautiful funeral that I ever will witness. The Basilica beautifully decorated for Advent and the Bishops and Priests were in multiple, the choir dressed in the purest white gowns... so beautifully lined the aisle, with voices soft as angels welcomed Emilie's family. I will forever remember her husband, Steve holding dear little Daniel as they ushered out her casket. Daniel, just 2 not really knowing that his mommy was in that box draped with a beautiful cloth, not understanding that he will never see her again on earth.

My heart broke a million times over for the loss of such a young, bright spirit. My heart broke at the thought that that could have been my husband walking behind, with my children. Life is simply not fair.



Now I am home in bed again. The fever literally left my body long enough from this morning until I returned home at 4. Someone was looking out for me, to ensure that I could pay my respect to Steve and his little boys.

I can't speak, my voice is completely gone. People came up to me to greet me and I had to not touch them and whisper. We sat with a large group of my DH's Fraternity brothers. It still amazes me what a great group of men they are. I met a woman, who's name escapes me, who I literally could not stop staring at, for I thought she was related to Angela. I never did ask her, but the resemblance was amazing.

A few minutes ago my fever was close to 102, suddenly I started to get really hot... I just took my temp again and it is closer to 101 now. Lets hope this terrible sickness moves on.

 

[Goofyluver]

It sounds absolutely beautiful, Jen. A beautiful service, fit for a beautiful woman and her family and loved ones.

Now, please darlin', get off this here internet and go to bed.

Love ya' girlie.

It sounds amazing, Jen. I'm so glad you were well enough to get through the day. Now, rest up so you can feel better.

I'm so glad you were able to be there today, Jen. And I know who was looking out for you, honey. And He will look out for those boys too!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Awww. Thanks so much. He was a great guy and a WWII vet. His brother died in the last days of WWII, so I know they are rejoicing in heaven.

I'm sorry for your loss, Deb. Salude Poppy!

T, I hope the kids made out okay at the doctor...antibiotic all around?

Yup, antibiotic and some nasty yellow syrup. They've both got sinusitis. And Maddie decided to prove it and spike a fever too, now.

But the best part is CVS pharmacy and their lack of being able to fill my prescription. Then they asked me if I did actually drop it off, or did I think I did (WTH?)and then to top it off, they asked Andy if his kids had the same name, not that made any sense to us at all. OMG, he almost hopped over the counter and choked the poor woman. They finally found them, under the counter - but I snatched from her hand and drove across the street to Walgreens.

I nearly made Tony spit coffee earlier...I came down the stairs in a red (jingle bell red according to Michael) sweatsuit and my mom said "Oh you look cute"...naturally, feeling like a sausage stuffed in a hot dog casing, I asked her...

OMG!!! This is why I love you!

It sounds beautiful and fitting for a wonderful person like Emilie.

Get some rest, Jen. Hope you feel better soon!

Well, kids - I guess it's time to hit the sack. First I have to check out Amazon for some rechargeable batteries and cupcake refills for this ridiculously fun cupcake maker Maddie got for Christmas.

 

[englishrose47]

Cheers Poppy!!

Oh, Jen. I'm glad you were well enough to go, and I'm so sorry.

They finally found them, under the counter - but I snatched from her hand and drove across the street to Walgreens.

Craziness...

****************************************
So, over the last two nights, we showed my parents "Dodgeball" and "Anchorman." I do get my "stupid movie loving gene" from my dad, so he's been fairly happy, but I think my mom's in shock.

Anyway, I need to go to bed. It's after midnight, and I have had more than my share of wine. Goodnight to all, and sleep well!

 

[Lauralee131]

I can be in Greenville in about 2 hours!!

I waited for ya...

Now thanks to you I have a terrible headache this morning

I think it's a hoot. I wonder what people would say?

OMG - I love it - if you don't get & wear that shirt, I will!!

At least if you're not working, we'll get more of these!

That's true Angela...I love how you always look at the bright side of things!

Did Michael even know what Kool Aid is

No - sadly my child has never drunk the Kool-Aid...

I can see them. It's a real live axe murderer!!!!

I could see them too Jo...what's up with your mysterious admirer? Is David freaking out with you being a celebrity now or what? Everyone will see your picture and know where you're from...

Yeah, yeah. The whole trip was one frickin big dream. We get it.

Thank you CE...it needed to be said!! That was too funny! Yes, Jo...we're a tiny bit jealous...

JenJV...the funeral sounded lovely - as much as funerals can, anyway...I'm glad you were able to be well enough to attend. Now try and get some rest and get better!!

Wow - I opened this thread up this morning and heard crickets...everyone sleeping in today??

Well, time to get ready for work...have a great morning everyone!!

 

[Muffinygood]

Yeah, yeah. The whole trip was one frickin big dream. We get it.

LOL!

Repeat after me, "No CVS. Never." Seriously, they are the devil.

Dawn,,,please send me the info on the new yahoo group. I havent been to the club since november. going to start back any day now. I miss it...

Carrie! Long time no see. I know what you mean about the kids and the mess. I have needed to clean house for a few days now, but everytime I get ready to do it, the kids invite yet ANOTHER kid over. OMG.

YES, Dawn please add me to the list of chubsters. The gym membership is pricey but I think I'll have to do it.
Can't stand my dang mudflaps anymore......

Thank you CE...it needed to be said!! That was too funny! Yes, Jo...we're a tiny bit jealous...

Yes, it did! LOL!

I am up! But, not at 5 am! You are quite the early bird, LL! Have a great day!

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

So, I had about 10 pages of quotes and the computer went KAFLOOEY. So, Deb, I did have a drink for Poppy, and HI to everyone else.

I want you to send me the info too Dawn! I'm a chunky monkey.

I did some planning last night! You guys are probably all that I've waited this long but for some reason I have just been in such a funk! But, that's gone now. Here is the latest plan:
1/25: Flying to Orlando (HEY, I BOOKED FLIGHTS LAST NIGHT! WOOT!)
Check in at SSR, hang out at pool (maybe) or DTD
1/26: Epcot
9 Dragons for dinner (it's chinese new year!!)
1/27: MK
Dinner at Cosmic Rays (yummmmmmmmm)
1/28: AK
1/29: Bob and SD do Wilderness Segway (dang, they love those things!)
Gus and I go to DHS- Meet them for lunch at Sci Fi
Fantasmic!
1/30: Blizzard Beach (big maybe, depending on weather)
Chef Mickey Dinner
1/31: Relax at the resort, maybe do some shopping
Fly out at 5 pm

I need to decide when and where to meet Angela/Mitch. And we need to find a spot to put a breakfast at the Poly (french toast!!!). So, what do you guys think?

The boys are all fast asleep right now. I am going to put the coffee on.

I'll be back!!!

Ugh, nothing like your kids being sick and you just want to make them better and they screw everything up.

I tried to check it out, but my work computer blocked it. Will check it out after work!

No - sadly my child has never drunk the Kool-Aid...

I could see them too Jo...what's up with your mysterious admirer? Is David freaking out with you being a celebrity now or what? Everyone will see your picture and know where you're from...

HAs he hired body guards for you yet?

Repeat after me, "No CVS. Never." Seriously, they are the devil.

REally? I have never had a problem with them. Why do you say this?

Looks good. I would put the Poly breakfast on BB day. A good hearty breakfast before hitting the water slides

That sounds just beautiful, Jen! I'm glad you were able to make it. Feel better soon!

I clean an area and it gets messy again! or i have to open another box! which means more cardboard and more trash!

This is why I'm glad we had Christmas at my sisters!

Are you ducking in our picture?

Oh how I wish!

Yeah, yeah. The whole trip was one frickin big dream. We get it.

Seriously, that's fantastic!

No - sadly my child has never drunk the Kool-Aid...

Smart!

1/25: Flying to Orlando (HEY, I BOOKED FLIGHTS LAST NIGHT! WOOT!)

Looks good. I would put the Poly breakfast on BB day. A good hearty breakfast before hitting the water slides

Makes being in a bathing suit even better!


Reid's out of surgery and doing well. My sis & BIL were on the way back to see him and he should be able to come home by 11.00. He's supposed to have a calm day today and tomorrow. How do you explain that to an 18 mo?
