Happy Hump Day, DDA!
I hope everyone is having a good day - I've been reading along where I can, but work is stressing me out! I will be very glad when this weeend is over, as it means I will have survived one of my final "big" events of our summer intern program - we put on a "Battle of the Bands" for 300 of our closest friends.

I still have 5 1/2 weeks to go, but there is at least a glimmer of a light at the end of the tunnel!
Sorry if I forget anyone - I'm going off of memory here!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Olivia!
Dawn - glad to hear that you and Caroline are doing so well, and what a great story about Christopher! I loved swim team!
Kate - was so thankful to read the good news about Nick. I hope you get to enjoy your trip to DC with an easy mind. And your response to the tv reporter - priceless!

Let me know if you start that business up - I'm looking for a new career!
Elin - glad that you and your family had such a fantastic vacation! 9 books - WOW!! I think that even beats some of my records - and I love to read!
Tia - WTG on the moving plans - it sounds like a great situation for all. As for December travels, I'm currently scheduled to be at SSR from 12/15-12/19, although I'm toying with moving my trip up by a week.
Deb - I hope you guys enjoy your camping trip! Jodi Piccoult is one of my very favorite authors!! Definitely read My Sister's Keeper, as well as The Pact - I finished The Pact in just 2 days - while also touring WDW somewhat commando-style. That was how good it was!
Denise - so good to see you. I loved the pics of the beach and b-day party - that beach house was awesome! Also couldn't believe how cute ALL of the kids were attending that b-day party - looks like there's something in the water down there! And congrats to Rees on losing his first tooth! And further congrats on booking the cruise - Jonathan and I will be cruising the Wonder starting the Saturday after Thanksgiving that year, too!
Paula - so sorry to hear about your SIL, as well as your fall-out on the notary deal. I definitely agree that you should look at doing a side business in embroidery. I know I couldn't find a good person to do something personally a year or two ago, and we just paid someone $7+ per piece to embroider a simple logo on 50 aprons for a firm event!
Glynis -

on making your January travel arrangements!!! You will have such an excellent time - and I'm sure all it will take is Alan setting foot on WDW property to realize that it can't all be done in 1,2,3,4 - nothing less than a week, in my opinion! Remember, I owe you for helping me with DL - I would love to return the favor!
Jo - all your recent designs have been awesome! It's fun seeing designs around here again!
Amy & Kevin - WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PICS?!?!?

Matthew looks like a cutie!
Vicki - hope you have a great time at Girl Scout Camp. Whatever are we going to do without PM and wedding updates?
Anne Marie - I hope you start feeling better soon! Loved the family pic you posted a few days ago!
Janet - congrats on the AirTran savings!
Tammi - the pics of Alyssa were just adorable! For whatever reason, it struck me that she looks very much like I would imagine Cameron Diaz looked as a girl - those eyes!
Robyn -

on your decision to move to MI.
Marci - I was so sorry to hear about your cat. I hope she bounces back with no problems! If it makes you feel any better, my BIL/SIL's cat was in a car accident as a young cat, and had to have one of her back legs amputated. She gets around amazingly well on 3 legs - it's really remarkable how they adapt. She's faster on 3 legs than I am on 2!
That's all I can remember for now!

Miss you guys and getting to hang out more regularly - I second all the comments yesterday (or was it today?) about how incredible the bonds are that we have just from this board.
And I think a DDA cruise would be awesome!!! Could you imagine the t-shirts?!?!?!?

They woudn't know what hit 'em!
