The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

[tink2020]

Jennifer - I'm sorry you had a depressing conversation with DH. I had one yesterday. Ick! Anything we can do?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I wish!

Thanks for asking, though

Ok, this isn't my auction so I don't think this is against the rules.

But holy crap. I've never seen so much Mickey in my entire life.

Anyone have $400K to spare?


Hmm.... maybe I should add the link

Be sure and look at all the pictures!

Holey Baloney! That is AMAZING! Where is the jaw dropping smiliey when you need him!!!

That's a lot of Mickeys... Shall we start a DDA collection? It says we can submit a best offer... :

The shipping insurance alone was over $1500! But it says they ship for free... by freight! I was blown away!

Marti HAPPY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY

Denise I am so excited for you! Here is some hoping that your family gets chosen

Jo I love your tattoo!

 

[Glynis]

Ok, you're not going to believe this!~ Keep your fingers crossed! HGTV's show Cash in the Attic will be filming here in Atlanta the first 2 weeks of March. The show's producer just called me and we've made it to the final round. He will call back within the next couple of days to let me know if we've been chosen to be on the show. I said we wanted to redo our basement for the kids and get some adaptive equipment to help Rees out. PD please!!!!

Denise - You've got it! Here's a ton of PD for you guys.

 

[tmfranlk]

P.S. Tia, you haven't posted any pictures from your spontaneous trip!!!

I'm trying, I'm trying. That 3 days in between getting home from WDW and leaving for St. Louis was barely enough to repack in let alone get the pictures up. Since almost everyone I work with is out of the office this week at a conference (at the Coronodo no less! ) I'll see if I can't get them up this afternoon. Maybe I'll manage to get them up chronologically this time.

 

[rosiejo]

I just caught up!

Denise - that is AMAZING - I'll keep fingers and toes crossed that they pick you - how can they not you're the cutest family! Of course if you get on the tv someone has to send me a tape!

Glynis - I'm confused - you say you cooked toad in the hole and it was delicious (I agree) and now you are going to be brave and try yourkshire puddings? But toad in the hole is just yorkshire puddings with sausages in! I love yorkshires, they're just DELICIOUS and I make great ones with soya milk so all dairy free... perfect drizzled with golden syrup... YUM

Thanks for sharing all the jobs everyone Spose I should share mine now! I work for a UK bank in the division that looks after small business customers. I'm the website editor for our customer and staff facing websites - and I love it! I don't DIS at work though, far too distracting! I do get to surf the net though... for research purposes :

Jennifer - sending you some ixiedust: Hope you're ok - sorry I couldn't join you for lunch - someone put a stupid ocean in the way!

 

[Glynis]

HOLY COW!!!!!!! They just emailed me and want to set up a meeting for next week with the entire family and do a little film~ OMG! I guess if we do well on camera and have enough stuff to sell, we're in!!!!!!!

Wow! That pixie dust works fast!!!!!!! We'll be crossing our fingers for you! Your family will do just fine on camera. With those darling triplets, how could they refuse you? You'll be just great! Let us know, I'll be on pins and needles until I hear.

At first I thought it was the Disney Tattoo guy selling all of his stuff, also known as the #1 Disney fan. But than I realized it was in Seattle and not Allentown. Must be nice to have your own Disney museum as a house.

If you haven't seen this guy and his house before check of this website

Hiya guys - Thanks for answering Ellen - the wind was really bad last night wasn't it?? Felt like Kansas!! Our neighbors lost some shingles sometime last night - but we didn't notice until like 4 this afternoon. Most of the rest of the neighbors did ok. Barely an inch of snow - looks like we dodged the bullet.

Heading out to dinner - too bad it isn't Chick A Lick!!!

We had that in St. Louis on Thursday. It was CRAZY! I'm just glad we had landed before it started up. Within 30 minutes of getting to my mom's the tornado sirens were going off and the rain was pelting down. My sister ended up with little piles of hail against her house and her driveway looked like a Christmas tree farm it was so covered in pine needles.

Ellen - I actually think that those dates coincide with our school's Spring Break. If that's the case, I definitely think we could work something out! I'll check to make sure and let you know. Zion is only about 50 miles away from my parent's house in one direction, and Bryce is only about an hour and a half away in the other direction. That would be great fun!

Awesome, let me know! It would be fun if we could meet up.

And to think... we just spent an evening in Allentown on our way to Long Island last month! And we thought there was nothing to do there....

Well, I seem to have uploaed them backwards, but here are the picutres from the party. I guess you'll have to watch the weekend in reverse. And yes, the brown blob at Jojo's feet is supposed to be Goliath so as you can see my sisters' teasing was warrented. In the end, Mom and I decided that since Goliath likes to hide we would add a sign and he could be "hiding" behind the sign. Sad, I know, but it made me feel better. In all we had a lot of fun so that's all that matters!

Tia - It looks like the party was a huge success! I liked your cakes, and believe me, it's better than anything I could ever have done.

By the way, you need to change Terra's age in your siggy. Isn't it sad how fast time flies? My twins will be 4 on March 21. They originally wanted a Dumbo/Dora party, but I found a copy of Walt Disney Party Themes, and now they are gung ho about a Winnie the Pooh party. It actually looks pretty easy, and fun, so we'll see how it goes.

I would like you all to know that Marti is a BIG FAT LIAR!!! She has no idea what the weather is like in Rochester- as she is currently sitting in my family room!!!!!

Amy was coming for game night tonight and brought a surprise with her

Paul, Marti & Matt!!!!!

Off to have a great game night!!!!!

Now THAT is cool! What a wonderful surprise. I hope you all had a wonderful time.

Heading out to dinner - too bad it isn't Chick A Lick!!!

So if you were with Amy does that mean that there really was Chick A Lick for dinner?

 

[Glynis]

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I wish!

Thanks for asking, though

Just know that we are here for you if you ever need a shoulder to cry on!

I have 2 cousins that are in residency, and both their wives say it is the hardest time on their marriages. I can't imagine what you must be going through, with your lives about to be turned upside down with Match Day coming soon. I hope it all works out the way you want it to.

B***H

B***H

I have to admit, I posted and ran. I wasn't sure how it would go over. Glad you all liked it. Who else would make a good Mrs. Potts? I have a template now.

Here's a picture of my leg.
I mean my tattoo.
So what do you think?
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR HELPING ME DESIGN IT.
I couldn't have done it without you all.
The story behind the design.
I have been tagged Tink because of my attitude.
(49% sugar & spice - 51% fire & ice).
Flowers being my 2 DXH.
I had them made with black centers.
As they both were nice on the outside, deep down were 100% A**.
So I had Tinkerbell standing on them.
Making the statement.
I'm taking my life back.
Tinkerbell is blowing 4 kisses my children.
1 pink DD, 3 red DS's.
I'm the butterfly (butterflys are free).
To remind me to STAY THAT WAY.
Pixie Dust is for a better future.
I love how it turned out.

Would you add anything.
Remember I can only add, can't take anything away.

It looks beautiful, Jo!! I love it and especially all of the symbolism. It tells a great story. Congratulations on your freedom and I second the pixie dust!

Ok, slight confession, I started out on the Toad in the hole, and then got distracted by one of the kids, and DH finished making it. He did most of the work, so I didn't even get to watch. I think I got as far as gathering all the ingredients. I'm definitely going to be the one making all the Yorkshire pudding myself. I love to cook, but so does DH, so it makes for some fighting in the kitchen. If I turn my back for a second, he takes over. It's so frustrating.

 

[Glynis]

Awesome, let me know! It would be fun if we could meet up.

Will do!
