The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 13

[Glynis]

I'm off today. I need to try to clean house. Not sure how much I will get done or can do trying to follow dr orders and stay off my ankle.

How is your ankle feeling these days? Any better?

 

[Glynis]

everyone! I tried, but I finally hit recent. I was over 100 pages behind

How's June doing?

We haven't heard for a couple of days. I think Elin was going to try to contact her son today.

No too much today! I've got some packages to get to the post office, but after that, my day is free. I'll spend some time this afternoon making muffins that I can freeze for after school snacks for the next couple of weeks. That way, I can take some out at lunch time, and by the time the kids get home, they are ready to eat.

I do have enough raspberries to make some more jam, but I'm feeling rather tired today, so I may put that off until the weekend. We'll see how it goes!

What Kind of Muffins are you going to make? What do you freeze them in?

I think I'm going to make some lemon poppyseed muffins. They always turn out nicely, and my kids like them. I usually just wrap them in plastic wrap and then seal them in freezer bags. That way I can pull them out individually and keep the others fresh.

the swelling for the most part is gone. It was swollen Tuesday night when I got home.
It hurts a lot when I first get up. once I am up walking around it feels a litte better. But I need to wrap it up.
We went to the mall yesterday and I Had Jeff push Olivia and I in the wheel chair that my mom gave me to use.

Olivia just started sleeping in her own bed. of course Jeff or I have to lay down with her. and some nights she sleeps all night and some nights she wakes up and we have to go laydown with her again.

Cassidy hated the crib when she was a baby.....so she slept with us. Abi breastfed so she slept with us. If my girls weren't such bed hogs, I'd enjoy their sleeping, cuddling time but, yikes!! Most nights I "sleep" on the very edge of the bed!!

had never thought about wrapping them in plastic wrap.

Olivia breastfed as well. That is why she was in bed with us. I know what you mean about sleeping on the edge of the bed. We have a queen size bed.

It's a good trick to keep them fresh and not freezer burned.

we are watching Little Einsteins.

I can't wait to see the new show that playhouse Disney is advertising. Handy Mandy

I just finished reading "Size 12 is Not Fat" by Meg Cabot. Theresa graciously loaned it to me! Is there anyone else out there is DDA land that would like to read this book? It's a lot of fun, and a great read! If you want the book, PM me and I'll send it out to the first PM. Maybe we can get the book to make the rounds of the DDA just like Pal Mickey.

Let me know who wants it!!!

 

[bear74]

Glynis I sent you a PM

 

[bethbuchall]

Ok, it took me ENTIRELY too long to catch up! I absolutely have to go now. I have a few errands to run, including picking up the 2nd season of House so Kyle and I can get ready for Season 3! Oh, and other more important things...........

Have a good afternoon!

Matthew and I watch House together. We started a few episodes into Season 2, but we were able to catch all of season 1 and the missed episodes of Season 2 in repeats. Of course, with my memory slipping, I probably should watch them all again

 

[bear74]

Has anyone seen Higglytown heros at Disney.

We have a full....just a tad smaller and my girls are a tad bigger .

My dark paper on fitted shirts split too... need to look for 100% cotton ones... but then I don't really like the way they look!

Also did anyone else notice that you sweat more where the transfer is? I had fitted vest tops with A5 size portrait transfers, and found them quite uncomfortable to wear as they made me sweat where the shirt touched my skin... must keep that in mind for this year's shirts... My dark transfer paper was quite thinck and I wonder if that's the reason...

Dh mentioned that the transfers made him sweat, too. On some shirts, you could even see a border of dampness around the transfer.

 

[bear74]

I think I am going to put higglytown heroes in the H spot of our ABC Disney Coloring Book.

 

[bear74]

I made a shirt last year using Denice's Black Friday design and when I wear it it makes me sweat. I used the Dark transfer.

ETA: Hey I got a milestone. Party time. Happy 600 DDA.

CONGRATS!

I'm so excited! Santa will be bringing it for Jacob's stocking! I already pre-ordered The Little Mermaid for Leslie. I've got Pooh's Grand Adventure: the Search for Christopher Robin for Mary, and now I've just got to find one for Katie's stocking. Any suggestions? I'm kind of leaning toward Princess Diaries 2. She has 1 and loves it, and I know that Santa is bringing her the Princess Diaries book box set. It would kind of tie it all together. But I'm open to any suggestions.

Santa hasn't told me what he is bringing anyone yet. I think that Cars and Little Mermaid will definitely by on my list even if they aren't on anyone else's.
