Im trying to think if we should stick with the girls get M's thing.. You know? Its kind of a family thing.. But do we need to stay with it? Should we?? Should we go totally out of the box and come up with something else?? We gave the kids my parents middle names for their middle names. Do we have to do that with HIS parents now? Their FIRST names are WEIRD. Can you imagine their middle names? Is Frelan going to want to name the boy after himself?? Cant we just call them baby a, and baby b forever?

Oops, sorry again; DH just stopped in again to chat before heading off to the soccer game. UFF. I think there's only one more week of games, thank goodness. Of course basketball starts a few weeks after that...

Thanks, G.

I love the name Alyssa! THe first time I heard it, I thought it was beautiful. PLUS, it's the name of the boys' all-time favorite babysitter.

I suppose, but think of all the teasing they will get in school

Im okay with that. I asked dh if we could just keep calling them that and he got all pissy with me.

Just got this in an email from my aunt. Email says it's been checked out by Snopes and is true (that isn't always the case, even if the email says so, though...):

The following companies just filed for Bankruptcy:

Hollywood Video

Levitz

Sharper Image

Performance Team Freight

Linens n Things

Circuit City

Bed, Bath and Beyond

If you have gift cards from the above list use them ASAP, they will not be valid for much longer. Be a good friend and PASS THE WORD.

huh... Crazy!

Happy Anniversary Bernice!!! How wonderful!

Thanks!
He brought me home one rose for each year-- awwwww.

Sixteen years, that's all?? I celebrate the big TWO OH this summer.

But really, that is very sweet, you two make a great couple. BTW, I told our minister that I was modern and I wasn't pledging anything or obeying anyone or any of that stuff. I haven't listened to our audio tape in a while...but I'm pretty sure I'm married?? Maybe I'd better go back and relisten, perhaps I just signed up for a time share or something??

woohoo 20 years is awesome! Thanks, I think he's a keeper...
My dad video taped our wedding, promised us a copy once he got done "editing".. never got it
Found out a few years ago that the minister who did ours is no longer a minister. His church members dumped him, something about having an affair and some financial screw ups. I teased hubby " does this mean were not really married now? "

Alyssa Megan? Michael Frelan? Or what are YOUR middle names?

DH's name is the Francais version of his maternal grandfather's name. This is the same grandfather he wanted to honor when DS8 was born, but we wanted to stick with the same French theme (it's in both our backgrounds), so we chose the first name, and used DH's name for the middle name.

When DS4 came along, we couldn't agree on another boy French name (they pretty much are all guaranteed to get a butt-kickin' on the playground, don'cha know), so we again chose the first name and then used DH's grandfather's actual name for the middle name.

I think his father was a tad put out, but DH was adamant that he wanted to honor his grandfather. My father already has a grandson named after him, so it wasn't a huge deal to me that way.

(Besides, I adored his grandfather, he was a gentleman in the best sense of the word.)

I waited to long. I forgot what I was going to say.

 

[staley7580]

OH. Frelan has a CRAZY middle name. Just as wonky as his first. Mine is Michelle...

Hollywood Video -- old news I think, they downsized a few years ago

Levitz-- closed shop awhile ago aorund here

Sharper Image-- old news, gradually closed stores. Will have online store and a a few flagship stores only.

Performance Team Freight --- Never heard of em

Linens n Things ** Can't remember which one, but they have already been liquidating the stores. Closed a few. I heard they are no longer taking the competitor coupons. But they are only at 10% off at some locations - meh, not worth it. Keep an eye on their online stores for deals

Bed, Bath and Beyond ** see above

Circuit City --- Closed a few locations a year ago. Haven't heard anything recent. They typically suck as far as prices go -- unless you find clearance mixed in with current product.
