The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

[Eeyorecln]

Tammi -

someone posted on the CB board that they are looking for wenches for the 3rd movie - can you make it to LA by Monday for an audition?!?!

Clare - they are looking for women who look British - would you qualify?!!?!?

I'll be in the area Mon. But I doubt I qualify for a wench.

From Day 1? Wowser I've never heard of that. Is she an easygoing child?

Up until this year, YES! Extremely easy going! Now she's 8 going on 13, and it's getting more difficult. I sure was glad that she slept through the night from the beginning. It did spoil me, though. I was always disappointed that Jacob and the twins didn't carry on that tradition. I shouldn't complain, though, Jacob was sleeping through the night by 6 months, and the twins by 3 months. So, all things considered, I got off pretty lightly!

 

[Eeyorecln]

Nope -

we haven't seen it -

It's funny - I can get the attraction with Orlando - but Johnny Depp wouldn't even hit my radar!!!

Normally I would agree w/ you but I have to admit what he did with his character in POTC was very good acting. Not many people could have pulled off the character the way he did without looking just plain wrong.

When are you going to be there in December?

dec 17-24 akl

Dr. Phil

I am writing you out of concern for my friends, Vicki, Terry & June.

First, I need to tell you how I know them. We met on the internet. We all LOVE Disney. This love brought us all to a message board - THE DIS - where we all stumbled upon a thread about designing t-shirts for our Disney trips. We started to chat and the next thing we knew - there were about 50 of us regularly posting and becoming friends. Good friends - the kind you can count on for anything - the kind that you know will be there in the middle of the night.

One day Vicki posted pictures of her Pal Mickey - I told her that I should take PM to WDW on a trip that several of us were planning but that she could not attend - so she could be a part of the trip.

And Pandora's box was opened!!!!!

Vicki decided that her PM should visit our group of friends - known as the Disney Design Addicts (DDA) - and begin planning an itinerary that would literally take him around the world.

So far - so good - but then her obsession began to become evident. I was the first recipient of Pal Mickey - he came with (VICKI COULD YOU SEND ME THE LIST?)

She has bought for him on ebay: (VICKI COULD YOU SEND ME THE LIST?)

and is now planning a wedding for Mickey and Minnie at WDW: VICKI COULD WE HAVE AN INVITE TO SHOW HIM?

Thinking she was having too much fun with her Pal - our friends Terry and June got in on the action... and now have completely outfitted their own PMs!!!

Dr. Phil - their families' think they have gone off the deep end - we had no idea that they would have so much fun with their pals!!!

Are the nuts for having found a way for us all to share stories, get to know each other even better and have fun? or should they tell their families they are perfectly normal?!?!!?

PS: We don't you to look into the bigger issue that we might all have with Disney - isn't it normal to spend hours upon hours planning your trip, decorating your house, making t-shirts, autograph books...

Perfect letter, Kate! Now submit it!

 

[Eeyorecln]

Yay! They finally called. Apparently five women just delivered. Now, it's our turn!

I managed to take about an hour nap, we've readjusted the schedule, and I'll be sure to call a random DDAer depending on what time it is when Matthew arrives.

And, though I married a "clean" one, I like 'em dirty too, Dawn!

Amy

How exciting.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Perfect letter, Kate! Now submit it!

I need Vicki to submit her information before I can submit it!!!!

 

[Glynis]

We will not have to go to McDonalds until the pirates promotion is over!!! WOO HOO!!

We have not seen it at our house - and I know that I will probably be banned for what I am about to post:

I do not find Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp to be all that!!! I saw Orlando in Elizabethtown and while he is cute - I really just don't get it!!

I'm with you on the Orlando Bloom thing. I just don't get the whole attraction there! Now, Johnny Depp, on the other hand, really works for me. Not his looks, but his talent! I think he's one of the finest actors of his generation. I've loved all his movies!

 

[Eeyorecln]

Christi-

if I don't get back on - who I am kidding - I will but in case you don't

HAVE AN AWESOME TRIP!!! I can't wait to hear all about it - especially since I will be going next!!!!!!

Thanks, I'll definitely give a report. Since we're going with my mom to MK for a day in Aug. I'll be able to compare the redo's on PoTC at both parks.

Well, to make sure we got on Dr. Phil, you could submit your own list (you know, diamond ring for Minnie, house for the married couple, convertible, etc.). You could really doctor it up!

I also threw a Disney party for my kids and my sister's kids. We had spaghetti and meatballs (Lady and the Tramp), a tea party (Alice in Wonderland), and my sister made a castle cake for dessert. The kids then decorated some T-shirts using flour paste in an outline of Mickey's head, and then when that was dry they spray painted them, then peeled away the dried paste. Those t-shirts have lasted since then, and are my twins favorite shirts. It was a fun party! We had the party a couple of days before we left, so the kids got more and more excited about going.

We like having an "unbirthday" party in the summer. No birthdays in the summer and with only the Fourth of July my kids were always counting down til fall.

Effie sleeps through the night but night doesn't start until midnight for him.

Now you're giving Vicki ideas. Chuck will banish her from the DDA if he sees a jeweler bill for PM.

Those are the dates that we went this passed December! You are going to have a great time!

 

[Tammi67]

Are you here yet, Matthew?

i hope so

I bought the Anvil brand.

Thanks! BTW,Which tee style did you buy? I like the ringer one with pink & red..that would be cute for a minnie shirt.

I didn't want to scare Amy off, but when I was induced with my kids it took 12 hours from the time they started the pitocin to the time I began pushing. That means matthew won't be here until tomorrow. Colby was a different situation and I was having contractions with him from about 20 weeks so it just took the medicine to soften the cervix and I was on my way with no Pit drip. The card was inserted at 5 PM and he was born at 2 AM. A little quicker. I hope that she progresses quickly, but I haven't read that she has been having contractions yet. For anyone else that was induced, what was your experience?

Deb

 

[tinknme]

Very nice

Here's a picture of Wishes that I've been playing with, at this rate it's going to take me forever to get my photo album done.

 

[UP Disney]

I thought her response was pretty funny too!!! I love how she said she thinks she has gotten her money's worth!!!!!!

I was trying to write it as a sane person that has not become fixated with her little buddy! When I was writing it, I wrote it the way I would have when I first got home from our trip before my DDA friends corrupted me with all their enabling ways!!!!!
