Hot chocolate! Sure! Thanks Carol. I need something to stay awake here as I attempt to finish up all this work for tomorrow! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo tired.

 

[olena]

Mmmmmm.....Marshmallows....

 

[dizneenut]

Good Morning!

I'll take some of that hot chocolate, w/ lots of marshmallows and whip cream, and a shot of Bailey's in it, please!

It is a COLD, snowy morning here in NE Ohio. BRRRR! Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE winter???

Jordan's concert was great last night. He is in beginning band and they sound so cute! It was AWFUL getting their. The roads were HORRIBLE. Some of the kids didn't make it, but their was a great turnout despite the horrible weather. Coming home on I-90 the car ahead of us must of hit a patch of ice or something and flew off the road right into the median. Scared the crap out of me. Thankfully he was able to drive right thru it instead of ending up in a ditch.

Well, I am off to find a nice big room w/ a fireplace.

 

[iluvorlando]

Hi Ya-Ya's!!
What a beautiful ski lodge
I think this was the perfect time to move to a ski lodge based on the view out my window today. It snowed all day yesterday!
I'll take a hot chocolate too.......mmmmm...yummy!
I think I'll need to go shopping today for a new "snow bunny" outfit for myself & a new "hot tub" outfit for Mr. Clooney We can't have ski instructors roaming the hallways w/o proper attire
Have a great time at Dis-con Kama...enjoy the sunshine & warm weather

Good morning. Welcome to the ski lodge. Um, could someone please tell me *how* you all managed 157 pages in the beach house? Wow! Such a mothy group we have here....

Jeannie, nice job tweaking the poem & thanks for posting that pic again. I really didn't want to wake up, but then saw it on the other thread, then again here. I gotta say, that cutie in the middle sure is *HOT*!!! Pardon me while I drool.

I have one little favor to ask. I see the group of ski instructors, but noticed there's not one there for me. Hopefully we can remedy that soon. I'm sure Natalie, Christie or Kathy would be willing to help. Mmmmmmm.... ski bunnies....

It's Michele's Birthday, today!! The YaYas have planned a very special surprise for her! It's a YaYa trip!! Bonnie and Jodie said they are friends with a friend of a friend of a third cousin of a travel agent. They asked to arrange all hotel accomodations, airline tickets, etc. They are supposedly getting us a great deal!!

Michele awakes on her Birthday with anticipation. She just knows that her YaYa Sisters and Bother will be doing something special for her big day (she just hopes it's not tickets to the circus! )

Hmmmmm.......... no mailman ringing her doorbell, no present on the seat of her car, not even a Happy Birthday, Michele written in red lipstick on her bathroom mirror. Michele is sad, the YaYas have forgotten all about her.

Michele heads off for her first day of work at her new job. She is attacked by screaming children as soon as she walks through the door. "Welcome to my life," she thinks sarcastically to herself. She tries to fake a sweet smile at the little monsters ....... I mean, dears and wipes the chocolate bar handprints off her new skirt. The children carry Michele, literally to the office, where they proceed to dump her in her chair. They place a crown on her head, give her a magic wand and a pair of red sequinned shoes. She is instructed to click her heels together and repeat, "There's no friends like YaYas, there's no friends like YaYas." She does this, even as her crown slips over her left eye. (Out of the corner of her right eye, she spies a chubby little tyke trying to lick the chocolate off her skirt, she boxes him on the ear with her magic wand.)

Poof!!!!! What should appear before Michele's wondering eyes but all the YaYas!!! There's Kim, Jennifer, Bonnie, and Jodie! And over there, in the corner are Betty, Pam, Elaine, and Karen. In breezes Jeannie and Sherry and Laurie (Serena)! Crawling out from the custodian's closet with sheepish looks on their faces are Marilyn and Beth. Carol and Nancy peek out from under a desk. (They're a wee bit shy!) Jay darts through the door at the last minute, wearing a Darth Vader costume. He is understandably mad as he was specifically told this was a costume party. Jeannie snickers.

And we are off on our grand adventure! We look for the limo to take us to the airport in style. Jodie and Bonnie stammer nervously........ that part of the plan fell apart....... "What part is still on," the YaYas ask in anger. It appears that not much of the original plan is ago - we have to ride bicycles to the Greyhound Bus Station. Seems Jodie and Bonnie decided to make some pitchers of Smoothies while they were making reservations, and the friend of a friend of a third cousin who's a travel agent, really wasn't a friend.......

We board the bus (staying away from the back seats by the smelly bathroom!). It is only then that Michele learns that we are headed to Vegas, Babeeeee!!!! After 5 long days on the bus, 5 very long days of Jeannie singing the Ski Lodge theme song, we pull into Sin City. We are very excited about staying at Ceasar's Palace. We look at Jodie and Bonnie, they start walking to the seedy side of the strip. Seems we are staying at the Fool's Gold Campground. "Hey, they have those solar showers," say Jodie and Bonnie. Michele starts to cry - this is her birthday trip, after all.

The YaYas sit down and cry with Michele. Then they decide to give Michele the birthday she deserves! The YaYas get jobs dancing in the Showgirl Revue. The show director is so impressed with our caliber of dancing and high kicks (not to mention Beth and Marilyn's lack of undergarments) that we are put up in several suites of Caesar's Palace. Jay has taken a temporary job as one of the Roman Soldiers in the Casino. He is making big $$$$ by posing for photos with old ladies with blue hair.

Michele is very happy with her birthday trip - but there is even more planned for our YaYa Sister! We have arranged for a special evening out! Michele is told to put on a very glamourous red sequinned evening gown. A stretch black limo picks her up at the Palace and takes her to another casino. Michele is escorted to the front row, center section, of the amphitheater. She is confused, what is going on?? The velvet curtains part and Sigfried and Roy are revealed......... along with many white tigers!! On my gosh, it's Michele's favorite animals in the whole wide world! She gets misty eyed!!

But there's more, Sigfried (or was it Roy?) pulls Michele up on stage to be part of the show. Michele gets to put the tigers through their routine. She even gets to cuddle a baby white tiger!

For the grand finale, Roy (or is it Sigfried?) performs a special magic trick. He puts Sigried (or is it Roy?) in a black box and spins the box around and around. Then Roy (or is it Sigried?) opens the box to reveal Michele's hubby, who is so handsome in a black tuxedo. Michele's studly hubby is holding an armful of red roses. With a huge smile on his face, he jauntily strolls over to a stunned Michele. He gently takes the baby white tiger out of her arms and puts it on the floor of the stage. He then drops to one knee and holds Michele's hands. As he gazes adoringly into her eyes, in front of the entire show audience, he tells Michele, "I love you and adore you. Will you do me the honor of renewing our vows?"

Michele, with tears of joy streaming down her face, pulls her hubby up so she can kiss the big lug. "Of course, I will!" she screams. She and her hubby, the YaYas, Sigfried and Roy, and the entire show audience run down the strees of Las Vegas to the Graceland Wedding Chapel. There Elvis performs the Wedding Vow Renewal Service, where Michele insisted the ceremony be held. Because, as she explains it, "I've got one hunka-hunka of burning love for my man!"



Happy Birthday, Michele

 

[jldriscoll]

Good morning!! Looks like everyone is settling in nicely. Off to get PAige to school. I still think Mommy's should get to wear their pj's for school drop off.....she's not buying it!!! I hear Lars' daughter knows about this all too well

Yes Jay...of course you can have a bunny

 

[Shellie722]

Just wanted to say what a nice new home ya'll have here!

 

[CookieGVB]

Hot chocolate? I'd love some, danke.

Ski lodge looks pretty warm and toasty, ya-yas. Welcome to your newest portion of the neighborhood from one of the Swolphins!

Anyone going to DIS Con? I'm outttttta here tomorrow a.m.!!

 

[JulesMom]

Hi Ya'll!

I can't resist the ski lodge--especailly since it was hot in Dallas yesterday--We had to put the ACon in the car!

I'll take a room with a fireplace. And I'd love some hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows

Happy Birthday, Michele(I LOVE the way you spell your name )

Michele II--aka julesmom

 

[Kama89]

Hey there Michele II!! Hello to Shellie and Cookie too!

Anyone going to DIS Con? I'm outttttta here tomorrow a.m.!!

Me!! I'm headed out tomorrow too.

Woooo... Michele's party is in Vegas! Vegas beats the circus any day... Hmmm...actually I guess they're really not all that different are they? BUT nothing has come close to my birthday present yet. By the way... did I mention that I loooooved my Pam birthday story?

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MICHELE!!!

I gotta say, that cutie in the middle sure is *HOT*!!! Pardon me while I drool.

Uh oh... this illness of Jay's is making him hallucinate.... poor dear must be fevered.

Jeannie, the twins are my sweet brothers. William is on my right and Christian on my left. A couple of the sweetest bestet brothers a girl could ever have.

Ooooh Heather! What a cozy little cabin!

Thank you Laura... I'm sure I'll have a wonderful time. I'm leaving 75+ degrees... I hope I don't freeze my California girl tushie off. Last time we were there (2000) the evenings almost turned me into a YaYa popsicle.

Well, this is my last full day to get everything ready....and I STILL haven't been able to buy the foundation at the dermatologist's office that I wanted to have before I left. I tried their powder foundation they sell, and I'm hooked. Only problem is they're switching to the new 2003 line and as of yesterday she didn't have it ready to sell yet. I guess I'm going to have to go in there on my hands and knees or something. I HAVE to have that stuff for this trip!

 

[LucyStorm]

Good morning all! I see you made the move just fine without me, and thank you for moving all my stuff. You guys are the sweetest yayas!

Hmmmmm....what makes me think that Jodie and I made it to Pam's list?

Pam, darling, you have missed your calling. Forget the technical writing, you need to write fiction honey! Evidently the yayas are quite inspiring too!

Jodie, of course we're roomies! I vote we call our new room the "Poet Laureates' Nook" I like Kim's decorating ideas, so I may steal some of those, but we need to fill our bookshelves with all of our literary masterpieces don't you think? Shut up Pam, they are not called "books of bad poetry"! Where is that woman's cage, y'all didn't leave it behind at the beach house did ya?

So, Jennifer added to the dictionary yet again, huh? Worning-ok, got it, headed for the dictionary.....

Can someone do a player's recap again, I'm going to have to print out the list this time we're getting so big! Wouldn't want any name switches or anything!

Okay, I want a room with a kingsized bed, a garden tub and walk in shower. A fireplace would be a plus.

Are there any left?

Btw, I'm going to learn how to ski if I have to be taught by each and every one of those instructors. Well, I might pass up one or two. lol

 

[LucyStorm]

Woo Hoo!!!! Okay, I am changing my mind about the white stuff. I just talked to my coworker (she and I are both in charge of the nursing dept this week while boss was away) and she said to not even attempt to come down. I have a 25 mile drive to work, and she said it took her 20 minutes to get one mile, so guess what!

SNOW DAY!!!! WHOOPEEEEEE!!!

[newmousecateer]

Marilyn comes in dragging her stuff, covered with snow, ice hanging from her nose...that is ice isn't it?)

Good morning YaYa's. Hi Jay! (Stop drooling Jay, it's starting to freeze a wee bit around your mouth and chin)

Well, first off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELE!

Carol, I will take a cup of that hot chocolate please. I see you got here before me. You do realize don't you that Beth purposely went to WDW at this particular time so she didn't have to shlock all her crap over here and left it all up to us!? Lets grab that rounded corner room, the one with the feather mattress bed that goes all the way around the fireplace. (Oh, fireplace mantle. That reminds me. I found my antlers to hang over the mantle. I knew everyone would be happy I found them, no thanks to BONNIE!)

So Michele, how did you like your birthday trip? (We never had janitors like that when I was in school! ) Sorry I didn't get to see hubby propose again. Beth had a little too much to drink and I was valiantly trying to get her down off the roullette wheel.

Sherry

Glad Jordan's band concert went well, and glad you all got there and back home safe and sound.

(Marilyn finishes her hot chocolate and goes off to find Pam's cage....)
