The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 6

[bethbuchall]

I decided to post a Before and During picture of myself to help Denise make up her mind about NutriSystem

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.

Great job! I like the haircut, too.

Denise-

So glad Rees did well today!!

We'll keep praying for him (and the rest of the Figs!!) espescially as he gets to eat all those acidic food!!

Well, apparently everyone got the memo about how great Magic Erasers are except me!

A warning Cincinnati Disers: don't go shopping for them at the Target in the Voice of America Plaza tomorrow...I plan on buying all of them!!!

Amy

That's cause Alyssa just turned 2 and everyone else has older kids too - you learn about the things as the kids create the need.

 

[bethbuchall]

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?

It's cool that you were able to meet!

My watch is Pooh Bear.

Okay, Know-it-alls! Can I use a bleach pen to freshen up my white grout in the bathroom?

Amy

Oxy-clean mixed into a paste works well.

 

[itdjbw]

Letting Kevin do it!!

(Hi Kevin!! )

I second that!!!

 

[itdjbw]

Is it animal cruelty if I shave our black lab tomorrow?

She's losing her winter coat, and I swear I've brushed several small dogs off her this weekend.

Amy

The bain of my life, the 2 dogs with there shedding hair!!!!
I even pulled up 1000sf of white tile and replaced it with hardwood so it wouldn't be so bad and it still is. Thanks goodness for central vac!!!!

 

[itdjbw]

Hey Y'all!!!

I'd like to say I have been reading and catching up, but that would be a LIE!! I have been super busy with the kids and now that the weather is nice, we live outdoors! The kids even got in to pool this week!! Too Cold for me, but they loved it!

Just wanted to pop in and say hello! Was thinking about you, since the Queen had me out looking for tie-dye Crocs for the DDA trip in May! She hoped I'd be able to find a size she needed here!

I'll try to Pop in a little more often, but no promises! Just know I think of you often and Kate keeps me updated!!

Nancy

Glad things are going well and the kids are having fun.

Nancy

I called all 3 of your stores
the first two said no they didn't have them - although I am not sure either girl was the sharpest knife in the drawer then I called the walmart plaza one and she said I don;t have them but let me run a report - her report told her that both of the other stores have them

reports

 

[Glynis]

We in the west are just too far apart!!

I am jealous that some of you have met in real life!!

That's the truth! Even though Colorado is right next door, it's still too long for us to plan on a meet! However, if I ever get over your way, I'll call you!

 

[triplefigs]

Lynn and Julia,

I just emailed you both, but I think it is work emails. So tomorrow night at the Cheesecake Factory at PERIMETER at 7pm?

I am so angry! I was making one of the pillowcases and got to the part that I put embroidery on the cuff when I saw that I have the fabric in the WRONG direction. So as you can see the princesses are facing the wrong way. GGGGRRRRRRR

Now after gymnastics class I will be going to the fabric store to get more fabric and start over with that one. GGGGGRRRRR.

Thank you for listening.

I'm so sorry, Paula! That's a ton of work, and it is frustrating to have to start over, just when you were almost finished! That is absolutely darling material, though. You do good work!

Well, but I knew about them for quite some time now, too

(sorry Amy )

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about the mishap! They are going to be absolutely darling though!

10/06/2005 Boy, Denise was way ahead of me on the whole animal travelin' and shirts thing.

Thanks. They're taking year round lessons. Curious George is in the picture because he got sent home from school with Davis. He has to go everywhere we go for the next 5 days, and we take pictures. George is 'curious' about the kids' home life. Then you write a journal and send the pictures back. All the kids do it, so you get to know the children in the class. It's been fun! So far George has gone to choir, Church dinner, swim lessons, and Brantley-Kate's ballet class. He's a busy monkey!!!

Triplefigs - my DS is going to be bringing home Curious Stanley for the weekend in a few weeks. We have to do the same thing. Take him with us and then write a journal of his adventures. It should be fun. But I think I will be the one doing all the journaling, as DS is only 5.

Me too! I'll make him sign his name, though. It's been a blast. The kids are all into it. And just think, I get to do this THREE times!

Well, you are going to need to think of different adventures for George each time. You don't want him getting bored with the same old routine!

Yes, I do. And since they are in 3 different classes I get Spot the Dog for DD and an elephant for DS? This weekend will be hard to beat as my parents are coming in town for the holiday, and we're going to a Pumpkin Patch/hayride. I guess if I get one when we go to WDW, now that would be fun! Then I'd have to make a tiny DDA shirt for the stuffed animal... more shirts!

Hi...

I gut sucked into a project for the 5th grade graduation class...I am in desperate need of an interstate sign...the one with a thin band of red on the top, and the rest is blue. I need it to be blank so I can fill in the text needed. I can't find one anywhere...

Also, photo-impact people: where the heck is the clone tool?? I can't find it!! I need very SIMPLE directions... H E L P!

[itdjbw]

Yep, they're all chocolate. Kevin eats at least one each trip, and I always take a picture.

Amy

The Dis group ordered them from room service on the cruise last year and had ice-cream eating competitions a kids one and an adult one!!

 

[itdjbw]

On the Mac strollers, can you take the 5 point harness system off the stroller? Rees obviously doesn't need it. I'm hoping if I order it tonight it'll be here by Thursday pm. Nothing like procrastinating. It would be good for his outpatient surgery on Friday to keep him calm.

Oh, and please keep him in your prayers tomorrow around 2-3pm. We have to go to the hospital for his pre-op admission, blood work, etc. He is already worried, and I know it's going to bother him.

Thanks!

Hope it went okay!!

Still catching up
