The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 29

[tmfranlk]

Yesterday is a bit of a blur. Colby and I ran errands in the morning, I made myself a cute Jacket for our trip (actually I decorated one that I bought) and then I was off to work. It was busy and I was tired when I got home. I read everything, but didn't post then headed to bed. I waited on the band Little Feat last night. I had never heard of them, but Chris had. They were in town for a concert. They seemed very pleasant and down to earth.

This morning I caught up on all the shows that Chris had recorded for me. Then I went to start a load of laundry and managed to throw my back out setting the detergent on the floor That is the same motion that I do at least twice a day every day so who knows why. My back felt like it locked up and it hurt to move at all. Somehow I managed to get to the car and picked Logan up at school. I took some Advil and a Vicadin and am laying here with a heating pad. It feels better, but I think it might just be the drugs. Hopefully it is just muscular.

I really want to buy the Minnie Jeans on Disney Shopping.com, but they never seem to be available. I would love to wear them on the plane for our trip with my cute new jacket. Pitiful I know, but a girl needs to be disneyfied for a trip to WDW.

Ouch!! I hope your back is feeling better ASAP!! Take care of yourself. When you're up and around do we get to see the jacket?!?! Can't wait!

So where does everyone plan to be Friday night? Is anyone doing Fantasmic at 7:30? We plan to head to AK straight from the airport to hit EE and KS. AK is open until 6 PM. From there we may head to Fantasmic as it is our favorite nighttime show and it is at 7:30. After fantasmic we will either hit MK or Epcot depending on where everyone else will be. Pleasure Island is after that. It sounds like a whirlwind day. I suppose we will need to check into our hotel at some point

Just a quick pop-in - was taking a 5 minute break from my crazy day, and saw this: http://www.mousesavers.com/hawaii.html

How exciting - wanted to pass it along!

See you guys tomorrow!

Woo Hoo!! I just talked with my Mother and told her to plan a Hawaii vacation for 2011. That is perfect as we have been taking about going back and now we can do it on points I'm very excited.

Tom - Thanks for the postcard, as well as the F&WF Guide!

 

[Tammi67]

Sorry, I haven't looked at the group page website..are we all meeting at the Goofy Statue? I am going to check in at Pop & head right over to MK.

Yes, I thought the plan was to meet there before LTT for a group photo.

 

[Tammi67]

She can't be any crazier than half my customers

I ended up calling in sick tonight. There is no way that I could be on my feet for 5 hours with my back feeling like this.

It's probably for the best, Deb. Try to take it easy and get some rest.

We will be there. Sometime after we wake up on Friday we will head over to MGM for the day and stay for Fantasmic. Let's try to hook up!

I'll PM you my cell number. We will definitely need to meet up.


Did anyone request a specific building or floor at POP? Chris and I are thinking of making a request if anyone else did. Right now we have just requested a King room

 

[lovespoohbear]

I don't think DS is going to get ANYTHING for Christmas unless we can get rid of about half of the stuff he already has. His room is a death trap. He has stuff scattered everywhere, and he is too overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of the mess to be able to clean it up. I think I will be spending the weekend in there trying to help him.

The kids rooms actually aren't too bad. The family room & dining room table on the other hand..... I still just don't know what to do for Joe. I don't think I'll do the monorail as it is just too big. After we looked at the Lego site last night Joe started playing with the small car lego sets that he does have-the little $4 ones. SO even though he doesn't seem too excited about anything right now maybe I should stick with the Lego plan.

I shouldn't have figured out how to check my children's grades on the computer Let's just say the lesson that I thought Cassidy learned last year wasn't learned.

I am a bit stressed in work and outside of work due to some poor choices we made the last few months.........when will I learn???

Sorry, just had to let that out.

Thanks to everyone for their kudos on Kristin's acting. I think her call back reading is today... or maybe it is tomorrow... I think I really don't know. :rofl:

Kathrin called me yesterday with the good news that she has two interviews set up in Boston at the end of this month. As many of you already know it is a direction she has always wanted to go and now it looks as if it may finally happen for her. I wonder how fast this move could happen!?!

You've got family AND friends in Boston!

yesterday RJ left for his dad's for the first time in over 2 months .. M&M has been searching thehouse yelling " RJ where are you?" since then .. Tomorrow we're going with my bestfriend, her son, SIL and her 2 kids and her mom to pick apples, pumpkins and go on a hay ride .. i'm kinda mad RJ's gonna miss out on it so i found another orchard closer to home that i'll take him to maybe for a one on one day when he gets back ... 4PM Friday can't comes soon enough.

for you and M&M. Less than 24 hours now!

ONE YEAR TO OUR WEDDING!!!!​

(Sorry! Had to change things up a bit! )

Congratulations!!!!

Good morning, DDA! Can someone please explain to me how my daughter spent the entire week-long trip to CA on Central Time, thus getting me up at 5-6am everyday only to return home with herself on Pacific Time, thus keeping me up until 11pm-midnight when I have to be up with Rachel at 6?!?! Good grief! I just don't get it.

Emma has been on a real night owl kick lately too. DH likes it because then she'll sleep til 10:30 and he has some quiet time in the morning before she goes to school at 12:30.

John is home sick.

Glad to hear he's feeling better now!

Way to go .. the only "christmas stuff" i've picked up so far were a few pairs of jeans and tops for each of the kids .. the toys i have to hold off till last minute because these to like to "treasure hunt" last year they had found all of their toys by the 2 week mark .. i swear i need to rent storage space just to keep them out of their presents lol

Thanks. I so want to be done before my November trip. I sent the AG stuff to my MIL's. She'll hide it somewhere. If I go with Legos for Joe I'll send that there too. The Nintendo stuff was easy to hide in my house.

Today is the Funeral....we had police here yesterday blocking out where the protesters can be and can't. I just also got a phone call from the governor's ofice. Yep I am now a semi celebrity! The governor will be here so that only adds to the protesters fire.

It's a madhouse around here and I just met one of the sisters...what a sad time for the Milam family.

Continued prayers for that family!

100 days and I will be in Disney!!!!

So I must be in double digits for Joe's trip.

Good luck with your back! Smart move staying put tonight!

Do we get to see photos of the jacket?

and my family and I will be strolling around Epcot!!

strolling or rolling?

While I've got a minute and it's on my mind....If somebody could be on the lookout for Donald Duck as Rubber Duckies I would appreciate it. While there in July we got the Splash Mountain, Sorcerer and Pirates of the Carribean.

here's what they are like:

I would esp. love the Haunted Mansion one.

Those are so cute. If the Oct folks can't find them remind me again before I go in November.

DH is on his way to pick up DS and take him to the orthodontist. I was looking at our bill last night and we only have 8 payments to go on his braces!



Bernadette - Your check is in the mail!

Congrats on the ortho bills!

Thanks for the check!

Nick's teachers have FINALLY updated the teacherease site. Nick's grades for the day that he missed have been corrected and he now has STRAIGHT A's!!! I cannot tell you how proud we are of him. I know that he has been working really hard and we've been riding him too since he had 3 F's showing. Those F's have all disappeared. And Only one of those A's is an A-.

Sorry, I forgot to post this. Here is my kids favorite waffle recipe:

1 1/2 C. bisquick
1 C. buttermilk
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 C. M&M's semi sweet chocolate mini baking bits
Powdered sugar and maple syrup

Preheat waffle iron. In large bowl combine baking mix, buttermilk, egg and oil until well mixed. Spoon about 1/2 cup batter into hot waffle iron. Sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons M&M's bits; top with about 1/2 cup batter. Close lid and bake until steaming stops, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with maple syrup and additional M&M's.

Makes 4 waffles.

I always have to double or triple the recipe to satisfy my kid's sweet tooth!!

thanks

Stephanie said that was one reason why she chose the Beach Club. We could crawl back to our room if needed.
