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!

I'm sure that it's written somewhere, but when do you go in June? Will you be in the parks on Mon or Tues of your trip? I am going to try to get Terra out to see her grandparents sometime before the AP summer blackout starts at the end of June, but don't know yet if we'll make it. If we do, it will probably be Sat-Tues or Wed and we'll got to DL Mon and/or Tues.

Heidi - I'm so sorry for your loss. It is good to see you posting again! We love it when people come back to the "dark side."

Off to continue my projects. I got the blankets and burp cloths done, now I have the pillowcase for my friend and a shirt for another friend. (no, I don't have that many friends... I pay them so I can call them my friends ;) )

Chat with you all later.


Something tells me these "friends" (if you really have them :teeth: ) could be found right here on the DDA.... am I close??

Hello DDA's! I just wanted to check-in and apologize for not reading/posting lately! :blush: We have been having a bit of a family crisis, and I have not had much extra time. :guilty: I just wanted ya'll to know that I have been thinking of you, and am hoping to get things back on track soon! :goodvibes Looking forward to catching up (is that even possible?)!
Hugs, Shana

Shana - I hope that things are going well, now! We've missed you! Thanks for the strawberry daquiri cake recipe! It was a HUGE hit on Easter! Extended family wanted the recipe, but I told them it was a "family secret."
 

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!

Actually, I was cleaning out my pictures and saw the ones from Christmas and was shocked at how different I look now! I do realize that the angle of the second picture is a bit different, but now I know why my friends are suddenly taking notice.

Hmmm. I may have to try that!

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.

I remember something else that I wanted to comment on from my catch up session:

Denise did give Paul the nickname Hunka but it was

Tammi that named him Skunka



I never laughed so hard at that one -- thanks so much Tammi!!!!!!
That is going to the answer to my proudest DDA moment on Kate's questionnaire for the PDZ:teeth:

Speaking of the questionnaire: can someone PM me the questions? I thought I had them, but I can't find them. Thanks.
 
julia & nicks mom said:
Elin

could answer the burning question though

what is Tammi like - are we going to regret going to WDW with 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?

Welcome home! :teeth:

And I must say -- I'm so glad to be home. The drive back was tough, the rain on Long Island was terrible. I swear I saw Noah paddle by...

I did like them better - the regular ones were too big and too much work - I can just take bites of these
 
Kate -- those are too funny! I'll have to see if I can find a particular video my uncle sent me along those lines. It's a hysterical blooper from a colleague of his mid-sermon! :rolleyes1
