The Mad Chatters thread

[paigevz]

Picture this Paige. Think vacuum cleaner. I race to the closet, get out my big upright and aim the wand at it, only to discover the setting was set to floor, not wand. It got away. The boys and I searched and found it hanging right over our heads on the ceiling. I'm 5'2, so I have to grab a chair and hold this very heavy vacuum in the air while it sucked him up.

I get him into the canister and run through the house with him. Had to find the key to the back door and race through the patio to dump him outside. He will probably stop laughing soon and I hear he's inviting his relatives to come over for a barbeque when we get back. You can't make these stores up.

Whoa! That was Totally Wicked! I do not normally think of vacuum cleaners as lizard extractors!

Sorry, I fell off the thread a while ago................now just waiting for my breasts to cook (go on and giggle).............

I'm not a picky eater, you put it in front of my I will eat it even if I don't like it (well except for the normal stuff...cat food, dog food....you get what i mean.) But I am so tired of turkey!!!! Who made that stupid rule??? (probably my mother) Why do we have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, and New years???? Why not beef, fish, pizza, past, pork??? Why always turkey???? Every year I ask my mother to cook something different, what do she say??? Oh but I already purchased a turkey, and I've already thawed it. NO MORE TURKEY!!!

sorry, I'll get off the soap box now. Thank you for your attention.

Me too. So, we have ham on Easter. My mother cooked both for Christmas........ham for me, turkey for my brother. If we go somewhere else, besides her house, there's turkey, but if anyone comes to mine, we have both!

We have take out pizza and home made tamales on New Year's.

You see what I can get away with? With anyone else, they get a tag for such things.............I am so lucky that I am invisible to the tag fairies!

~Paige~

Is your trip to Japan next year or have you already been there done that??


Oh and Yes I like to ask the stupid questions.....I have my blond moments even though I'm not

 

[paigevz]

No, Jen, it is coming! I am so excited. We need to buy the plane tickets ASAWCGTM (as soon as we can get the money) so they won't cost as much. They are about 900 bucks a seat right now, but that would be most of our cost. We'll stay with my naval officer cousin at his house and use the very cheap mass trans in Tokyo........and eat cousin's food. So we just have to get the money for the Disney tickets and of course we will eat out some................

The only other country I've been to is Mexico, so I am a bit nervous, but excited and really happy my kids will have the experience.

 

[FigmentLover]

I would love to be in your shoes!!! I've been to Mexico, Canada, and to the Bahamas. But can you really call that going out of the country?? When I went no passports were needed? Did you know that you now have to have a passport to go on a Disney cruise?? to the bahamas?

I hope you have a great time!! I wish our Army friends lived in another country. But they live in North Carolina......oh well, we still get to see them once-in-awhile.

 

[paigevz]

Oh, thanks for reminding me.........we have to get passports too.

Cousin used to be stationed in Mississippi...........I didn't visit him then as I told him it was "too far".

That's what we kept telling our friends. Then they made the road trip to Lincoln, so we decided we would go see them, but we flew!!!!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

hope you all are doing well today!!!!!

 

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I'm baaack! Anyone miss me?

 

[FigmentLover]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm signing off for the night. I may check back in later.

Also, don't want to harp the situation, but wanted to post again to see if anyone wanted their child/ren to partisipate in the sticker chain letter I commented on this morning. If you would like just send me a PM or an e-mail through my profile. It consists of the letter I will send that you will add your name or child's name to. You then send the letter out to 6 people, and then a pack of stickers to the first name on the list.

A friend from North Carolina sent it and I don't want to break it so her son can receive stickers from everyone.

Just wanted to give anyone a chance to give me a yay or nay. Thank you Alisa for helping me on my task!

See ya later.

Then we'll head over to Michigan City for the outlet mall (much more my speed today-I feel so groggy. And of course DBF was up and at 'em at 8. I just wanted to throw a couple pillows at him.

Great minds think alike! We went up to the outlet stores in north georgia this morning. I got pretty much everything I needed for the girls for school at The Children's Place (darn it, forgot the tights, though!), and I went over to the BCBG Max Azria store and hit the jackpot-I found a 298.00 cashmere hoodie for 29.00!

Got some other stuff there too, they make the arms and legs long enough for me.

Nope, Ains won't know her party theme until we go to the party store later today. She'll see what she likes best.

My cow is AWESOME!! It has a map of the world on it!

How sadly blind am I that I did not see the map of the world on the cow before it was pointed out!!?? Sorry to post and run before. Dh looked over at me and said "If you want to go out for lunch and then have help grocery shopping then this is your last offer." Of course I jumped up and ran out the door!!

What party theme did you all pick out?

 

[jaycns]

Jay

I was going to say good morning, but I just saw the clock.

Well a pleasent night to you too! OH and cute cow you posted a few pages back! Now my cows want to play too!!

Here is a very rare breed...the french moodle.

and her dearest of dear friends...the disco cow

We ran errands all day long! We got new furniture for our living room, but looking for a new recliner. We went today to about 3 different furniture stores, but they're just so darn expensive! We have a rocking chair in its place right now, so it's no biggie. It's just the sort of thing where if it's a good buy, on sale, we'd get it. Also looked at the pillow top King sized mattresses. OMG- $3,000! We can wait... LOL.

Denise, check out www.originalmattressfactory.com They make the mattresses here in Atlanta and they ship everywhere. My orthopedic double sided pillow top mattress was 800 delivered with the box spring.

A lot of mattresses are made in china and they gas them with toxic antifungals/antimold stuff while they're in the hold of the ship. Yuck!

My mom and dad have OMF, their neighbors do, and my best friend does. Yah, I know, it's weird, telling people to come over and try out your mattress

 

[Disneyrsh]

I totally understand that! It's nice to have new furniture, though. Makes it feel like a "new house."

I have to take a picture of our sofa-it looked like it was dropped from the Enola Gay...

 

[jaycns]

I really want to know what Ainslee's party will be like. Not having girls, I like to look at the dresses, furniture and party things in catalogs and out. I gave up on dolls and just started buying them for myself, but I think paper plates would be a bit too odd..............................

ME TOO!! ME TOO!! With three boys here I have no excuses to oooohhh and ahhhh and wow over the girly stuff...so I live vicariously!!
