inkedupmomma ~ I am in NE PA. I have been up here for quite a few years now. We are originally from Florida and I do miss it. But when its hurricane season like it is right now I am more than glad to be here! lol Bucks county is in NE PA isnt it? Or are you guys near Lancaster more. Its so pretty out that way. I love the show (BL) as well. But I tell you getting caught up in the process was not helping me get healthy. So ultimatly I had to step back. I did get invited to try again with my friend and I might. The producer I worked with before said she would personally hand it in. Its a hard call though because I am doing good now and afraid that getting into it all over again would set me back. Thanks for the compliment. I think they are all the most beautiful bunch of kids in the world. My sister is so pretty and just doesnt see it. My daughter is the same way. Its a rough age. I sure dont miss it.

Aurora~ So glad to have you. And yes I do think it should get interesting. lol Probaly a little to much for me.

vettechick99~ Thank you for the compliment. I was not wanting to post pics of myself with the weight gain. That made my day.:>

Zeni~ Thanks for joining. I hope to be adding tons of video and pics.

Lan~ Hey maybe I will run across you? I have yet to meet another Dis'er and I would love to. You going to any of the Dis meets? I am going to get to work on my LGMH tonight. I will have it pinned on my lime green baggelini . If you see me come on over and say hi.

fortheloveofthemouse~ lol I know ! I mean wdw is my special place. I told my mom tonight that if she was going to keep acting like she was going to the dentist instead of Disney that I would just ignore her . I called her today to give her trip info and tell her about the storm and she was like " Yeah well its Florida so what?" lol I guess I have to laugh.. And yeah... I may ditch her. But she knows that. I think she wants to sit by the pool more than anything anyway. Works for me!

FreFam5~ Last time I didnt get started in time . I also tried writing things late at night when I was tired I could remember anyting. This year I am taking a notebook with me and going to make notes of things to share with everyone.

Pinkteacup~ I am so addicted to the Disboards its a sickness . lol There will lost of posting coming. In fact I am getting yelled at now for still being on the web.

Nancy for Disney~ I was so afraid I would talking to myself. Glad to have you. Pass the popcorn. Page 2 is much further than my last report got to.

Nateryan~ Yeah you could say my family is " interesting" . Never a dull moment around here. Thank goodness my kids keep us all grounded.

Fairygodmotherjen~ If you see me come say hi! we will be there for 2 weeks. I am on my way over now to see where the hurricane is at. Isnt there another not far off aside from Gustav? Pretty crazy stuff.

Girthegecko~ You have popcorn to? Dont you guys know I am on a diet? lol Glad to have you. :>

Hushupu~ Check back tomorrow for some updates. I may get some video up if I have time inbetween all the packing.

Well everyone I am off to go check up on my friend Gustave . I will post more updates tomorrow. Night :>

 

[cinderella73]

Well I said I was done posting for the night. But look what I found.

Its getting pretty crazy. My driving weather is not going to be so good. I am getting really on edge about all of t his now. Even if I miss one hurricane apparently there are more brewing. All I can do is pray at this point.

This video is from last year. My daughter has already told me that this wont be happenening again this year. While she did love it at the time. She is a full fledged teen now and does not want to go back. But if you have a preteen or young child and havent been to BBB I thought you might enjoy the video . She had the makeup and hair package. They even give you little jewels to put on your cheek , which I didnt care for but I guess little girls love and makeup in a little bag when you are done. Even though she saw a grandmother going in and getting it done she hated the attention she got from it and said she felt to old to be there. Oh well, lesson learned. At least she enjoyed it while she was there. I was in awe just sitting in the room. Its beautiful in there!

Uhm.. how bad is this?? I guess it's in NElol.. we are not near Lancaster.. close enough I suppose. It's about 3 or 4 hours away. We are more near Philadelphia.. that help?? I think if you have the chance to do BL again, you should def do it!!! So many people would love the opportunity to do it (memememememe..lol) I think it would be a tremendous help! If I could afford to be out of work, and have someone watch my kids, I would totally try out for it! Funny your sister/daughter can't see their beauty My daughter is not even 8 yet and shes kinda starting with that. Good thing I tell her 24/7 how gorgeous she is!

 

[whogirl'smom]

I'm loving your report so far! I just have to ask, um, have you read Marivaid's TR "Why I didn't speak to my sister for a week" ? If you haven't, read it now before you go, and surely NOTHING your sister pulls would be that bad! Go on, read it....

 

[Loriann70]

Count me in!

 

[tinkerbell*Xo]

Im Subscribing,
can't wait to hear about the auditions

 

[JenSop]

I'm also on board! Hope it goes well!

I just saw something on NBC10 showing the projected path of the storm and it looks like it's going to miss Florida and head into the Gulf.

To the other PA posters - I grew up in Bucks County! - Quakertown to be exact (near the very northern part of the county.) Now we live in Hellertown, just above Bucks, in Northampton County

I'll also be interested in hearing about the auditions. I'm a singer and am always interested in learning of other opportunities. Although, I'm a bit short to be one of the princesses (plus I think I'll be getting aged out of that range soon anyway!) But I've often wished that there would be auditions (the open calls they have regularly) lining up when I was in the world, but no luck so far!

 

[nateryan]

Very nice video of BBB. I don't have any daughters so I won't get to have that experience - you have beautiful pictures of her from BBB. Oh, and I really liked the music you put to it.

 

[GirTheGecko]

Girthegecko~ You have popcorn to? Dont you guys know I am on a diet? lol Glad to have you. :>

Virtual popcorn is the only kind I can have. I'm battling the bulge too.

Back to eagerly awaiting your next installment.

 

[jen2207]

Oooohh sounds good... I'm in!

 

[katiebug86]

I'm here. It sounds interesting. I hope everything goes good. *Fingers Crossed*

 

[cinderella73]

Missmun~ Its all kinda boring pretrip report stuff for now. But with the line of 4 hurricanes / potential hurricanes / tropicial storms it shouldnt stay that way long..lol

inkedupmomma~ Philly is not that far. Its about a hour and a half I think? My cousin is going to school out there to study archaeology ( something I always wanted to do). You guys have a Ikea to! We have nothing here. I miss city life. :< You know the Bl show pays you 700 every week while you are on the ranch. But before that you have 2 weeks of sequestering where you are in a hotel and cant talk to anyone and have to go through all kinda of physical tests and interviews. Its a very strenous process but mentally more than anything. Just the audition process which went on for months was very stressful on my whole family. But its worth it if you get on. If you dont and have to try again I guess it still is but I think I needed a break from this casting . They were telling me that Brittany and Dan were submitted for consideration 3 times and one guy ( one of the brothers) was 4 times before he got on and they encouraged me to keep going. I guess that should make me feel better but I was getting rough on my kids with all the trips into NYc and me being busy. I will give it a go next casting ( which isnt far off). But I am hoping to be to the point where I wont need it soon. As far as kids go yes that exactly what you have to do. Girls are so critical of themelves. Of course us women are to. The best I could do is stop talking bad about myself in front of my daughter. I didnt realize it but I read somewhere how they pick up on that. And it makes sense of course. So if I am having a ugly feeling day I just try to turn it around or hide it. That and telling her how beautiful she is every day. A few more years and you will notice how once they hit 11 or 12( its getting younger than when I was a kid) they start getting really critical. Girls are just so much fun anyway! lol Enjoy 8 while it lasts. And when they are 12 they start to think they are 21.

Whogirlsmom~ Its sooo funny you said that because I did! I was thinking that I could totally relate. My sister showers no problems but she also waits till its time to GO out the door. But thats not even a big deal. Its the snotty comments from her and my mom that get to me. My mom lets my sister talk however she wants to whoever she wants even her father ( she is polite to strangers but not family). They both treat my stepdad terrible. He is the sweetest guy in the world. Believe me I might have some competition for Marivaid in "the worst sister" catagory by the time we are done. lol I do love her though and she can be great... but she can be terrible when she is not happy so I am hoping for the best or it will get ugly.

Loriann~ Thanks for joing up! :>

Tinkerbell~ We have about a week to go till the audition. My sister is going out today to get her outfit and character shoes that she wants to wear. She has been instructed to wear loose fitting clothes for movement routines and being in theater she always wore characters shoes so she wants to get a new pair.( For those that dont know I dont mean with character's on them lol, I mean dance shoes with heels)

Jensop~ Yeah but did you see the line of 4 tropical storms and the other nearby pending hurricane? Its getting kind of scary . I cant believe how many are out there right now. I am saying my prayers.Being on the short side is not a bad thing! IN fact my sister commented how she was usually to short for most roles , so she was happy she fit the requirements this time. I will ask her what the specifics were when I talk to her. I will have lots of audition stuff to post because I love that stuff as well. I was working in entertainment before my wonderful weight gain and if I was skinnier right now I would sure as heck be joining her. Sounds like so much fun! I am getting to old to be a princess lol ( 34) but I would love to take on the evil queen or something to that effect. My husband would say I could fit that role well! You should really considering auditioning next time you are down. I will post all the info so anyone who wants to consider doing it will have the basics handy. I got advice from a veteran who has traveled all over working for Disney as face characters. I will post some of her advice later.

Nateryan~ Thanks it was fun to put together. I just used one of my video programs and added pics and it arranged it all in time to the music for me. The song is by Allison Brooke and you can find it on LimeWire as a download. The Cd that it came on is hard to find. I think imeem has it as well.

Girthegecko~ Thats ok.. Just dont start passing Mickey bars around or I will be in trouble !

Jen2207~ Hi! Nice to have you. Looks like your vacation is not far out either. Hope the storms will be all gone for you by the time you get here.

Katiebug~ Thanks! I can use all the finger crossing you have. There is a line of tropical storms and potential hurricanes lined up . Between that and everything else that seems to keep happening this week I am a nervous wreck. I cant wait till I get to the happy , relaxing, its a vacation part.

uhm.. my 8 year old thinks shes 18 already.. lol!! but shes so cute. I agree I need to chill with the negative talk.. she always says, well your not that fat mommy, and your beautiful so it's ok.... (I assume "not that fat" is a compliment lol)

I didn;t know that about the payment....I wonder how theey consider you for the show?? I'm puero rican and irish lol!!! I'm not sure what my overweight scale is.. I kinda don't wanna know either ;/ hmm... this is tempting now that i know they pay while your gone.. I think I would be mortified for peopel from highschool to see me though/... damn those tight shorts and sports bras!! I live in the town where I went to highschool, and now my daughter goes to school here.. oi, I would be the talk of the town!! But i'd be hot!!! I also dream of being on what not to wear!! my daughter tells me if she could she would nominate me... guess shes sick of seeing me in dark denim jeans,black t shirts and sneakers??
I think you should def reapply!! we could go togther lol.. tell them to do friends who met on the net! wait.. they did that.. grr..whatever .. i could figure something out!

so where do you live again? what town? I'm very bad when it comes to knowing where places are located I'm trying to think of what else I amnear.. Kinda closeish to King Of Prussia.. about 50 mins away.. that help?

Great start so far. Enjoyed the story about Woody and your son, and how you didn't make TBL. I agree - you can do it without the surgery!
