Poor Joe! Could you have his favorite character autograph a postcard on your trip next week, and send it to him? It might go a long way toward helping him feel special.

Don't feel guilty about going, though. As mommies, we need our down time, if only to recharge our internal batteries. I'm doing it in June. My kids know where I'm going, and while they are not happy about being left behind, they know that mommy will come back refreshed and happier.

We do a countdown calendar for our kids that starts about a month away from trip start. I got the links from mouseforless.com. They are adorable, and my kids looked forward each day to taking one down. It helped pass the time!
Glynis-love the postcard idea but I may save it for the trip with Lizzie. I think I'll have to find some kind of treat (lollypop or something) to add to the package of Lizzie T for Joe and Emma.

My brother just sent me this email - DO NOT READ THIS AND DRINK AT THE SAME TIME - You have been warned!

Here are 6 reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is great!

Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the word back...or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are the testimonials of a few people who did...

FIRST TESTIMONY: I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a Shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY: I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

THIRD TESTIMONY: My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No,I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY: While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY: Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. The realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in awhile, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident? "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled
"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST TESTIMONY: This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any... a true story... We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

OMG I AM CRYING AND CAN"T STOP!!!!

We had a good day. Slept in, and I made a big ole Southern b'fast with biscuits, grits, eggs, bacon. Yummy! Then BK had a princess dress-up b'day tea party. She went as Belle and looked so pretty. I took some pics and will try to post later. After the party we went to the large indoor outlet mall, walked around, went to Bass Outdoor Pro shop to see the aquarium/boats/rock wall. We ate dinner at Johnny Rockets and then rode the carousel. They have the tea cups (like WDW) on it, so guess what the kids and I picked! We spun so fast I thought we were all going to be sick. It was so much fun!!! They are in bed, and DH and I are relaxing.

Oh, and BK got bit by a spider last night on her ankle. It has a big ulcer and is oozing now. It doesn't look like a Brown Recluse bite, but if it's not better we'll have to go to the doctor.
:wizard: :grouphug: fpr BK

I guess I am lucky, because once Alan gets to DL, he enjoys himself, and hads a great time. His big problem is that he doesn't see the need to go every year! I could go every week and never get bored. Alan can go once every 5 years and be satisfied.
My DH is similar. He likes it while there but doesn't understand the obsession to visit more. :teeth:
 

Heidi, I'm sorry about your loss. It's good to see you again.

Tia, I'm glad things are looking better for your grandmother.

Vicki, your daughter is beautiful and I love the dress! That color looks great on her.

This has me worried, since she hasn't answered yet!!! Maybe she pm'd you to tell you in private how horrid I am?!?!

But I will let you know that Elin is just as nice a lady in person as she is here on the thread. We met for coffee during some of the free time I had today, in between my Monday runnings around. It was only for 45 minutes or so, definitely not enought time! I did notice that we both have Mickey Mouse watches. This must be another DDA thing. Who all has one?

I have one.

I could tape it to some paper and staple it to Ellie and take a picture for you all. :lmao:

If all goes well, we'll be in DL on June 3 or 4. Hasn't been finalized, yet. Still waiting to hear from DH's work.

Oh man, that's the one weekend we definitely won't be there as that's when my mom and dad are coming here to visit us.

Ok, so here is the link to the video. Because it's actually a family member's friend, I'm not going to leave it up for more than a day or two. There are other versions posted elsewhere online, but they are poor quality and I really want you all to see this clearly.

It does have a little "crude humor" but the relative who sent it to me is the Dean of Southern Seminary (a baptist seminary) in Kentucky, so it's not really inappropriate, don't worry:) It just uses a word that maybe kids should not hear, so listen/watch cautiously. As a way of warning, the word is just something that refers to a body part that might occasionally be painted blue :rolleyes1

Nothing more harmful than conversations we have around here! :thumbsup2

If you do decide to watch it, be SURE to watch his facial expression after his little goof. It's by far the best moment of the video, but the entire minute or so is definitely worth watching! :rotfl:

I finally found a picture on amazon of my watch! I took one to show, but you can't see the details of the face at all. I couldn't find it on any of the various Disney watches sites :confused3

I have one also.............I was going to the grocery store and my son-in-law was rambling in the garage. He was trying keep the garage door open so he could pull the lawn mower out.....(the auto-opener is broke) I walked up to him and was watching his difficulty and asked him "are you having problems getting it up"...........OH MY GOSH!!! How embarassing to ask your son-in-law that!!! I turned walked away and never mentioned it to him again.

I of course told my daughter and we both laughed about it.

Hopefully, your daughter isn't like mine and would tell people...."Mommy likes to staple paper to my tummy." :rotfl:
 
I wont be back on for a while, my sewing machine is calling me and then we have gymnastics a little late tonight (well late for you EST people), so I will be back after the girls bed time.

What a bummer!!!! To be so close to meeting a DDA'er, and yet not meet her! Oh well, we'll meet up someday! That's a definite promise! Now that I know you come to DL every so often, we'll meet up!
:thumbsup2

I've got 9 pages to read and I'm not sure if I'll have time. I just finished the Anniversary Cakes. I am no Betty Crocker, but I think they came out pretty good for a girl that has no cake decorating talent.

Do you think this is fancy enough for a 40th party. We are only serving cake, Ice Cream and soda/juice so I want this to look great.

Deb
looks great to me.
