The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

[Cinderumbrella]

Hey Kristin,
Where did you get your stroller. I am debating about taking our umbrella stroller that we got at sears that has Disney Princess on it or getting a different one. What is the style of the one you got.

allbee baby- it's the 2005 Maclaren Techno XT. We got it for $164.99 with free shipping. Babies R Us is still selling it for $299!!

Vicki – Glad you had a GREAT Trip!! Welcome home!! Isn’t it wonderful to travel to warm, especially Disney from the snow???

Lindsay --- Ditto!! Welcome Back!!

Monica & Kevin – Love your shirts! So Fun!

Jennifer – So glad Kyle did not get the dreaded “you did not match call” Best Wishes for his friend. It isn’t good news, but he might be surprised at the places that will have openings pop up! We never needed one, but were shocked when we heard of some!! Just odd ball, mix ups that occur! Let us know as soon as you canabout where you match!

Deb – Cute cute Mickey heads!!

Kristine, so sorry about your car. What rotten luck. I hit a pole in the mall lot. I’ve been driving around with the dent for a while, I feel so stupid!! But I am too cheap to repair it!

So - some of you may not know that I am DEATHLY afraid of bridges - when I am on an overpass and can feel it moving I about pass out!! You should see me in San Francisco

so tonight on the Apprentice they did a shot of the Brooklyn Bridge (I think)and did footage superfast and you could just see the minimal movement of the bridge but it looked like it was just bouncing up and down - I thought I was going to pass out just watching it - my DH was cracking up laughing at me!!!!

Here in Portland.
There are a lot of overpasses over water.
Some are very high up in the air.
I hate these things.
I'll drive miles out of my way to avoid them.
I always have visions of crashing, flying off, ending up in the water.

My best friend called, I am meeting her in Orlando March 28-31. We are staying at teh Gaylord Palms! I think it is VERY nice. She is on a business trip, so mostly the trip will be free!!

I don't think I'll spring for Disney tcikets this trip, I need some serious down time. What you would do???

Should we visit Pleasure Island? Adventurers Club? Where should we shop?I will be scoring major lay by the pool time!

Marti, I have never had a dole whip, but seeing as you like Chick fil a so much, I am not sure I value your culinary advice, but can I get one outside the parks? Tha is one poorly constructed run on sentence. Amy, are you around???

My favorite memory of going on a business trip with DH was laying by the pool at 10 am reading a book and drinking the frozen drink du jour!! I think I'll do that while she meets clients! It si so decadent!!!!!!!

Don't worry, I'm not judging your sentence structure, Nancy!

And even though you insulted Chick-fil-a, I will tell you the only place to get a Dole Whip is Adventureland in MK.

The two places we frequented, back in our Pleasure Island Days, were the Adventurer's Club and the Comedy Club. Both are very entertaining. You also can shop, shop, shop at Downtown Disney! Sounds like a fun trip, and I'm sorry that I'll miss meeting you, since we head back to Cincy on 3/28.

Sorry to be responding so late to all these posts. It took me a while to catch up. We left Friday for our annual spring break ski trip, and I stayed off the computer until today. I went on-line to edit a letter that needed to go out today for my boss. Found out that one of my admins quit on Friday, effective immediately! She left a letter on my other admins desk after everyone left on Friday. UUUUGGGHHH. This happens right before or during at least one of my vacation trips every year or so. So much for a stress free relaxing vacation. We are still having a great time, but it certainly isn't what I expected. I came on-line to the DDA tonight for some therapy. I already feel better. That and the foot rub from my husband have helped me unwind some. I'll have to go in on Thursday (we go back Wed. p.m.) to start interviewing, but hope that I can take Friday to take the kids to the Science Place as I promised.

Enough venting -- life could be much worse!

Kevin -- LOVE the new designs. The picture of Alyssa is just beautiful. My niece has triplet bitty babies (long story) but hers are rarely dressed.

Deb -- also love your designs. Especially love Minnie.

Lindsay and Vickie -- glad to hear you are back and had a good time.

Denise -- glad the evals went well. Will send more PD and prayers before the next eval.

Hooray for Kyle -- I hope he gets a great match!

I haven't taken notes, so I probably missed some people, but know that I'm sending prayers and PD to the ones that need it.

Well, did I have a day yesterday! My daughter and granddaughter were supposed to leave on Friday at noon to go to Norfolk to see my son and grandson. There was an oil leak in my granddaughter's car, so they had to wait until yesterday after it was looked at to leave. My daughter stayed overnight at my house (my granddaughter lives with me) so they could get an early start. Sarah (granddaughter) tried to wake her mother at 6:00, but couldn't really wake her - just mumbling. She decided that her mother was tired and that she would let her sleep a little longer. I got up around 7:15 and went into the living room where Melanie (daughter) spent the night on the couch. She opened her eyes and pointed to an envelope of oatmeal which she had left on the coffee table and said "mmmmmaaaaaaaakkkkke thaaaaattttttt." Her words were so slow and jumbled. I asked her if she was "shocky" (diabetic). She said "yeeessssss." I gave her a small Snickers bar and told her to eat that while I fixed the oatmeal. The weird speech continued and then she said she couldn't move right. I was so scared she was having a stroke or brain damage from the low blood sugar that I called 911. Her blood sugar level was 64. They gave her some liquid glucose and she recovered completely in just a few minutes. It was very scary. I've seen her in insulin shock many times over the years, but the speech thing was a whole new development. This was the third episode of very low blood sugar in the last month. The doctor lowered her insulin dosage after the last time, but I think it needs to be lowered again. I went out to the drugstore as soon as it opened and got some of that liquid glucose to have on hand!!!Anyway, they decided to go ahead and make the trip. About 2 hours after they left, I got a call from them. Sarah's car had "died." I had given Sarah an AAA membership, as it only cost $20 more along with mine, so I told them to call AAA and call me back. As it turned out, they were on the New York Thruway, and AAA towers are not allowed on there, so they had to have two tows. To try to shorten the story, it was the alternator, it can't be fixed until Monday, and I had to travel 65 miles last night to pick them up. They aren't going to Virginia, and my grandson is very upset. He just went to live there in November, is only 20, and has been looking forward to seeing his mother and sister. Sarah was very upset, too. I told her that there was a reason why all this happened. They just weren't meant to be on that trip at that time. We may never know the reason, but the Lord works in mysterious ways. Today we're all going to look at Matthew McConaghey in "Failure to Launch." Looking at and listening to MMcC always makes me smile (hey, I may be 61, but I'm not dead - I can look and enjoy!!). Have a great day DDA!

I hope your DD is doing better.

To all the lucky people going on the DDA trip: I would LOVE to meet you all in WDW, but the timing won't work for this trip since DH is starting a new job. The logistics of getting the kids to all their practices and games for soccer and baseball, plus school commitments, wouldn't let DH focus on his new job, and I want him to really WOW them. (**Especially since they were so great about giving him 3 weeks of vacation so we can go on our cruise this summer and still make a quick trip to WDW before Christmas.)

Hopefully I can make the next DDA meet. I hope you all have a fantastic time!

Here's Ramiro new bedroom.
The color isn't showing up good.
It is more of a yellow than a orange.
The lighting isn't to good in his room.
I think the color really makes the new bedding pop.

This kid made out like a bandit.
New bed, headboard, dresser, nite stand, lamps, bedding,
ceiling fan light,paint.
Poor baby had to keep his old tv.

Jo it looks good. I really like your Bedroom. So have you decided where in Atlanta where you are moving to.

allbee baby- it's the 2005 Maclaren Techno XT. We got it for $164.99 with free shipping. Babies R Us is still selling it for $299!!

Okay this is the end of my posting party. I am going to bed. night all. check in wed.

We will give you our itinerary once it is finalized. We will definitely meet up, even if it is only for a Dole Whip!

Then perhaps I better not join you. Last time I had a Dole Whip at Walt Disney World, I sprained my ankle as I attempted to throw away the empty container. The trash can was in Tomorrowland in front of the Timekeeper sitting on a metal grate. It had rained and apparently the metal grate was slippery. I went to put the container in the trash can it wouldn't go in the can, it had one of those spring loaded lids, I attempted to stop to put it in the can. My body kept going my ankle did not and I did a complete turn on my ankle and landed flat on my butt. I hadn't even been in Florida 24 hours yet. This was last March.

I didn't get a Dole Whip in September, because I did DCL and only was at WDW two days and had the free dining and already had way more food than I could eat.

Actually I might have to join you anyways. Just have to see if I can get it to work. I would love a Dole Whip, I just have to be extra careful throwing the container away because it might not be finished with me yet.

My baby is feeling a bit better but looks like death warmed over. I already called her in sick from school tommorow....this teacher thing is driving me nuts...since starting middle school she has gotten one teacher a year we struggle with. My biggest problem is the kids are reminded over and over before CSAP's not to be stressed, get enough sleep etc. and this teacher told them if they didn't come in for the test today it was extra stressful testing on Wednesday...I'm trying to figure out his logic .

Oh well it is Monday and it can only look up from here right?

 

[babytrees]

Hooray for Kyle matching!!!

I love this group I learn so much every day....I had no idea the stress that goes on for doctors(and their families) in finding residencies!!

Just had to share this with you.

DH plays in a marching band. In fact it is the second oldest band in the US. They (New Holland Band, Pa) are celebrating their 150th year. This means a lot of celebrating this year. They even made a 37 minute film which they will show later this year. They are even going to try to get it on PBS.
The members range in age from 13 to 91. Naturally the older ones do not march anymore
My DH is so into music that when he passes on, he wants the band to play a few numbers for him. They all have that in their wills, I swear.

So Sunday was their annual Spring Concert. The music was excellent, good choices were played. They always end with Stars and Stripes.
This song really gets to me. I can still remember Andy playing the Bass Drum at his daughter's funeral and wacking the he// out of it.
That is what music means to me

Just want to post a few of my favorite pics to show off our shirts. I cannot remember who designed each and everyone of them but I will try.

The first picture is my absolute favorite. My DS was so looking forward to eating breakfast with Stitch and Lilo and it lived up to his expectations. Stitch loved his shirt and gave him some extra attention.

This is my great neice and DS, Jessie

This is my neice, great neice, and DS

No sure who designed these shirts but we loved them and got lots of attention wearing them.

Edited to add: The dates on the pics is way off. For some reason my camera decided to have a mind of its own and I did not notice it till we got home.
