I need an intervention. I have another $50 worth of Gymboree stuff in my shopping cart. I do have the 20% off coupon and have managed to get my total back up to $50 and another Gymbuck. Ladies, do I really need 6 Gymbucks? How does one sell Gymbucks on eBay? Someone stop me, please!
Alice - I would be ticked at Chilis, too. The food service industry, as a whole, seems to be going downhill at a very rapid rate. My sister, who has a culinary degree and is the food service director for our school district, tells me it won't be safe to eat out in another 5 years. The people who are working in kitchens today have no training. The waitstaff in a lot of places could care less, too.
I haven't received my Gymbo stuff yet. I placed the order on Saturday, and like you, I usually get my stuff within days.
Btw, I love the pic of Molly in her stroller. She is such a cutie! I can't say enough good things about my Mac.
nucpharm - I hope you have a great party at CEC. I can't wait to see the pics! The company DH used to work for would send him out of town for a few nights several times a month. That's one of the reasons he took a new job last year. I really don't like being home alone with Jimmy at night. I think Jimmy was just a few weeks old when they started sending him out of town again.
icebrat - I no longer drink that beverage with everything. For some reason with this pregnancy, I can only drink the fountain stuff. The stuff in cans and bottles gives me terrible indigestion. I can't believe how backward their company thinking is. Btw, I love the dress you posted. It's beautiful.
My son, who is almost 2, has a pretty set schedule. He spends his days at my dad's house, so I have no ideas regarding his time table while he's there. I just know that he loves Pop's house b/c it's all hugs and kisses.
Zalansky - I have a good feeling that Annabel will be much bigger than 12 months by next Christmas, but thanks for saving the dress for her. I may try to pick one up after Christmas. I'm glad you were able to return the vest. Also, it sounds like you ran into a sale at Gymbo like the one I found last Friday. They had cardboard boxes full of summer stuff. Maybe the lady who was in line in front of me on Friday hit the FL sale, too. I just can't imagine spending $700 (at one time) on Gymbo stuff.
Take pics and show us what you bought!
Btw, your MIL sounds like a nutcase. I thought her low point was throwing the phone, but obviously she's sunk to a new middle school low.
fab - Congrats to your DH on his promotion! I hope everythings works out and you have a smooth transition to your new location.
My DH wanted to go get me something else to eat, but being the wicked woman I am sometimes, I kept refusing. I was trying to make him feel bad, and it worked a little too well. DH got his feeling hurt and I feel a little bit bad about unleasing my fury on him.
Jill - I'm so happy you finished your paper! Take it easy and enjoy your holidays with your family.
justthat - I LOVE
WL. Somehow we always end up staying there, even though we always say we're going to stay some place else. I just love everything about the lodge. I really enjoy taking the boat to CR and getting the monorail or going directly to the MK. My nephew loves the pool and would stay there all day if we'd let him.
Welcome NYPrincess! When are you due in Feb? I'm expecting our daughter on Valentine's Day and we also have a son who'll be 2 in January. I can relate to your exhaustion.
floridafam - I'm going to Macy's tomorrow with my FnF coupon. I'm looking for some new bedding for Jimmy's room. We're talking about putting him in a twin bed as soon as the upstairs is ready. I don't want him to think we're taking his crib away and giving it to his sister. I'm also looking for some good deals on baby stuff. I don't care if the Carter's sleepers are from last season; Annabel won't know the difference. Also, I can't walk past the shoe section.
I used a FnF coupon three years ago to get a Dooney bag. I had no problem using it. I see now that there are restrictions on what you can get with the discount. It didn't use to be like that. The problem is that brands like Estee Lauder lease the space in the stores and won't let Macy's discount their stuff.
bellacam - The pics of your family are beautiful. You look wonderful after giving birth just a short time ago.
On the topic of swimsuit cover-ups, I got a really nice one from Lands End in the summer. It's navy blue terry cloth and so comfy. It looks like a t-shirt dress and I felt totally comfortable walking through the WL to and from the pool in it.
Tamie - Jimmy is a huge fan of yogurt, too. I hope you get your calendars done soon.
Ginamarie - I'm glad Aunt Flo arrived. It sounds like you work situation is improving, too.
SL - Great pics of your tree. I really miss not having mine up. Maybe in another two weeks if the upstairs is done.
joats - I'm glad your got your Elmo. Jimmy has no idea what that is and should be happy with his many Elmo presents. My mom got him the Elmo chair that giggles and shakes. I can't wait to see his face when he sees that.
I think I have managed to catch up with all of you. I hope everyone is having a good Friday night. We're experiencing nasty weather at the moment. It poured today and has been in the 60s all week. Tonight it's gonna get cold and stay that way for a LONG time. We got a little water upstairs b/c the chimney still isn't finished. They can't do masonry work in the rain, and I hope they come on Monday to finish the job.
I'm off for now. I might go soak in the tub. Jimmy is sleeping and DH is helping his dad butcher the two deer he got today. DH better not bring home any meat. I cannot stand the sight/smell/taste of venison.
I've rarely had good luck with requests being honored, beyond the nonsmoking room, and adjoining. 
so I better go try to find something educational to 
Don't forget to remind him that the WL has boats to the MK- or you can boat to the CR and take the monorail to Epcot. I would hate to have only busses to rely on at AKL, way the heck on the far side of the property.
The girls had an orthodontic appointment (can you say cha-ching with two in braces) and I had an appointment with my endocrinologist. I totally spaced on John. Ugh. I have to pay a $50 no-show fee (which I deserved b/c I had a total brain meltdown) and now we have a crack odawn appointment next week. 
Ugh.
Your MIL sounds like a piece of work too. Yikes!
I know that my dads Navy pension really helps them out. I hope that Sam is feeling better soon! Dont feel bad about sending him to school either. Ive sent the kids to school before not knowing they had strep. ETA: I just saw your post. What a day you have had!
