***The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread*** Chapter 2!

[loribell]

We had dinner with my family, my uncle, his inlaws, & his sons inlaws. There were about 35 of us if I counted right. There was so much food! I swear we could have fed another 50 people. No I am not exaggerating. Why do we do that every year? It has never been that bad though. We will be eating leftovers for a week.

I do have to say though, it was an amazing dinner!

JT...have a wonderful trip!

Loribell...yipes! I can't even imagine feeding that many folks.

JT have a wonderful trip ! Say "hello" to the Lodge for me ! Wish I was going---it's so pretty in December.......

Glad everyone had a nice T-Day with their families ! I did not have to cook too much. My only responsibility was dessert so I baked 3 pies. My cousin and his wife did the rest and I am grateful they had us over tonight. I washed all the dishes as a "thank you" to them. It was a nice night.

Get anything good? We considered it, but sleeping in was too tempting

I've never ventured out on Black Friday, but I did this year for a single purchase. I got a $15 Rival Crock Pot at Walmart. I dropped mine on the floor this week & the inside cracked in half. I'm sure I was not the shopper retailers had in mind. I got my crock pot & went home. I'm really trying to be conscious this year of need vs. want. Do I need a flat screen t.v. when the one I already have works perfectly fine? No. Do I need to take another trip to Disney World? Yes! Well, no really, but that is a want that is too hard to resist. It's the draw of the points just sitting there. I may as well use them right?

Question for the groupies. Will a full size aerobed fit on the floor in a 1 BR? Debating whether to purchase the twin or full size model. I'm leaning towards the twin, but am wondering if I'd get more use out of the full at home.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

 

[blossomz]

HL...I've only taken a twin. Between the open up sofa and the blow up bed..it pretty much took up the living room. YOu could probably squeeze it in though if you really wanted to..but it would have to be on the side towar the kitchen area...

Hi everyone,

I'm never on here. I'm swamped with a WISH thread. But I'm popping on to say "hi". and to tell you that this is possibly the warmest, the most loving thread on the entire DIS. I thought of taking my little moose off. But no I would be sad.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

And all the best to you in the Christmas season and on all of your holidays.

With love from a sad to be truant groupie,

Lisa

Whew. What a day. My friend and I do BF annually. We look forward to it months in advance!

What did I get? Well, I got a lot of my husband's Christmas shopping done, for me!! 2 sweaters (about $90 worth for about $25), wireless headphones (half price), shoes (reg $80 for $40).

I got some for him too! Noise canceling headphones for $30 reg $100. I had already gotten his stuff, so don't think I am not a good wife!

Got my SIL some puzzels that she loves (half price) and corduroys (reg $45 for $10).

Got my MIL a sweater (reg $45 for $12)

And some bath towels reg $12 or so for $2.50

It was a ball!! I'm wiped!!!!

To all Groupies at WDW and heading down to WDW, I am so jealous!!! Have a ball!!

Hi Lisa, good to see you

I have never been on the wish thread. Can you tell me what it is all about?

I love this thread too. Great bunch of people.

I love visiting other threads and seeing our Moose. I usually say hello if I am posting after they do. It feels like a warm, fuzzy, non-exclusive club! Keep the Moose. He loves being with you!

And I hope you have a very Merry Christmas too!

Hi Muushka,

Yep, I'm keeping him. At times I thought it wasn't fair to keep my moose. I felt like an imposter when I stopped posting and still had it.

WISH is hhmmmmm it's We're Inspired to Stay Healthy. I think. Anyway, I started over there to post/discuss exercise. Ended up losing some weight on a BL (Biggest Loser) thread. And then found this group that's about losing and maintaining weight but is so much more than all of that and stayed.

Thanks for your always loving thoughts Muushka,

Lisa

 

[Muushka]

Awww, thank you Lisa.

Hmmm, that thread sounds like it is healthy for the body! We have this one for the soul .
You might see me over there. Thank you for the explanation. Does it ever amaze you how the internet has affected our lives? I am still amazed daily.

Good chatting with you and we'll see you around the Dis.

Hi LisaViolet!
Good seeing you, and congrats on losing weight!

Hi LisaViolet
As I sit here eating my KitKat instead of an apple, makes me feel guilty. Maybe I should wander over to your area of the Dis? I could certainly stand to loose a pound or two. Anyway, nice to have you with us.

Muushka: This is the first year in a long time that my daughter and I have not gone shopping on Black Friday. We once drove 1 1/2 hours to an outlet mall leaving home at 2:00AM just to take advantage of the great sales. The standing joke at our house is 'Just how dark is it at 2 in the morning?' Glad you were so productive.

We passed on the shopping this year. Our future son-in-law is being ordained tomorrow and we've been way too busy in the planning and decorating that needed to take place. Our efforts have paid off - the church sanctuary is beautiful. This promises to be a day to remember.

Enjoy your week-end everyone!
Di

Awwww. And congratulations to your your future son-in-law. You must be so proud.

Hi Groupies. I've been reading, trying to keep up. It's been quite a week for me.

I started getting last Friday - terrible cough and laryngitis (DH was THRILLED with that part). When I went to the doctor on Monday, she said that this cough is a tough one that's going around. If you don't catch it quickly, it goes into pneumonia and even if you do catch it, it tends to drag out for a month.

So, dragging and coughing and squeaking like I am, my best friend lost her mother to cancer on Sunday and we spent the week with everything involved in that (calling, funeral, etc.). Plus, somewhere along the way, I cooked a Thanksgiving meal for my DH and mom and dad (that we delayed until today).

Now I'm crashed on the couch because DH and I just spent an hour or so hauling all of the Christmas decorations down from the attic. I'm way behind on this, but can't see starting until tomorrow.

Shew. When I typed all of that out, I understand why I'm so tired.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a GREAT THANKSGIVING and that the holiday decorating goes smoothly. To all of you at the Lodge or on your way, I'm so envious - have a GREAT trip!

Dodie
