I came on here to say the same thing! Congratulations to Kris!

 

[TigerKat]

I like it that people like Norman Gentle won't get weeks worth of air time to build a cult following (I did think he was really funny...but is a waste of an Idol spot.)

I couldn't agree more!

 

[FormrCastMbr]

WOO HOO....Kris made it!!!

YAY!!!!

I didn't start watching yet but this is great to hear!!! I was a little worried since it was so easy to get through last night.



ETA: Andrew my soon to be 11 year old is wearing men's size 9 sneaks and 30 x 32 jeans. Where'd my little boy go?

I really really hope to catch up tomorrow. I hope you guys don't think I am slacking on youse...

Watching "The Real Housewives of NYC", that Simon is one FREAK!

Lauren I get my jeans and Alex's mixed up all the time. Alex is always coming up to me saying these are not mine these are yours I can't tell without looking at the tags. It sounds like Alex and Andrew are similar sizes. Alex has a 9 1/2 foot and wears 32-34 pants

A is such a wonderful boy and obviously going to be a big one too, you should be a very proud Mom! Don't worry about catching up.

Hey friends! We had to pay for the internet to get some work done (blech) so I thought I'd pop in.

Yesterday, we did AK then went to Downtown Disney and ate at WPE. I had the beef and gorgonzola pita with chips that was SO good.

Today, we did MK all day and had lunch at the Plaza. I've never been there but it was very tasty! I had a cheeseburger with cheddar, mushrooms, and bacon with fries. Good service, good atmosphere, good food for about the price of a counter service.

Tonight after Wishes we went to the Poly and ate at Capt Cooks, which was another first. The grown up grilled cheese was DELISH!!! I was impressed with their food and the touchscreen ordering was really cool.

Tomorrow is MGM (I refuse to call it anything else) and we have reservations at 50s PT if we feel up to it. Then I have to come home

I'll scroll through and catch up later! Hope all is well!

 

[scotlass]

Nice one Kris !!

Heres The Boy.....

All Karated up for school.

Too cute to be scary...but he tries !!

Have a good day youse guys x

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning!

One more week of this going for tests crap!!! I have the growth ultrasound today which should determine c section or not. I am a little freaked about that possibility and the recovery time.

Not sure of dinner but we have alot here that I can throw together and frozen pizzas, etc. so we will probably do something like that.

I am going to start by catching up with just this page...I don't have it in me to go all the way back.

Have a great day all!

Watching "The Real Housewives of NYC", that Simon is one FREAK!

Maria, I cannot keep up with you...Portugal, a cruise...you're the jet setter lately. I am excited for you. That hotel looks gorgeous.

I have not been able to get into the NYC show. I do watch the Orange County one. Some of the girls are total witches.

Lauren I get my jeans and Alex's mixed up all the time. Alex is always coming up to me saying these are not mine these are yours I can't tell without looking at the tags. It sounds like Alex and Andrew are similar sizes. Alex has a 9 1/2 foot and wears 32-34 pants

Janice, I wish that I can someday say that Andrew and I get our jeans mixed up. Right now, he can probably squeeze into one of my pant legs!!!! The boys do seem almost the same size. The docs are thinking A will be 6'4" but he is tracking more to be 6'6"...time will tell.

A is such a wonderful boy and obviously going to be a big one too, you should be a very proud Mom! Don't worry about catching up.

Thank you my friend. As you know my big (Tom) and little boy like to be pranksters and Andrew is at the stage of testing me alot. Some times I want to ring his neck!

How is our baseball star doing? I gotta check out the Dolphins page. They should be going to FL soon right?

Hey friends! We had to pay for the internet to get some work done (blech) so I thought I'd pop in.

Glad you are having a good time! Sounds like you're having a blast!

Heres The Boy.....

All Karated up for school.

What a handsome boy! Thank you for sharing a pic! You must be exhausted today though. Don't you just love the last minute "Oh Mom. I need this for tomorrow"?

***********
Have a great day all! TGIF!!!

 

[bigmerle1966]

I need sleep! I don't know what is up with this waking up all night long but it is plucking my last nerve! I was in bed to watch ER last night, fell asleep before the news was over at 11:30, woke up every couple hours.

Weird thing though, the channel for ER kept fading in and out so I turned the knob two clicks on the antennae to fix it. While I was flipping around during the news time I realized I now had another channel. I have had that TV for about a year and a half and have NEVER been able to get that channel to come in.

 

[nucpharm29]

Wow, apparently my post last night was sucked into the Dis black hole! Either that or I never clicked submit post--but I swear I did. Anyway, we're super excited that Kris made it through to the top 12. Very cool! Probably the coolest thing that's happened to our small town in the 31 years I've lived there. Needless to say we'll be glued to the TV this season!

scotlass--love the pics! Thanks for sharing!

Lauren--good luck with the appt. today.

Not sure wfd tonight. I think we're going over to one of DH's former co-workers house for a cookout. I'm supposed to bring something, but haven't decided what yet. Guess I should get on that so I can hit the grocery after the gym. Have a great Friday all!

We discovered The Plaza on our last trip, loved it! Sounds like you're on vacation lady!

Heres The Boy.....

What a handsome boy you have!

How is our baseball star doing? I gotta check out the Dolphins page. They should be going to FL soon right?

Not going well on the baseball front, think that's why I've been in a funk lately. He has yet to get another chance to pitch since his debut debacle. We've heard this coach will probably keep him on the bench most of his freshman year and Johnny & I are going through withdrawals, we've been watching him play for 14 years.

They leave for WDW on 3/11.

WFD - We're taking Kyle & Mariah out to dinner to celebrate her birthday, she turns 18 tomorrow.

 

[Rogue26]

Good morning everyone, it's supposed to reach 50 degrees here today!!! The sun is already shining, sure were supposed to get snow and ice this weekend, but that's not today.

Is the Plaza the restaurant near the bakery walking to tommorowland? I've been going to disney since 1980 and I think that is one of the few places I've never tried. Maybe next time.

Stephanie- I'm glad Kris did well, I have honestly never seen American Idol so I have no idea what's going on. It must be fun for your town.

Merle- My parents are at fort wilderness for Jan, Feb, and March so they thought they just had disney cable. But I guess with the box thing they are starting to get more channels, maybe it's the same for you?

Lauren- My sister-in-law is 19 and she's 6 feet tall! My husband's a foot and a half taller than me, it makes me wonder how tall my "little" girl will be.

Scotlass- Now look at that happy boy, doesn't it make it worth it to be up at 1 in the morning doing laundry? My kiddo would have had wrinkled cloths.

Laura- At least this year Easter is in April, maybe she'll get to go out and use the bike. My inlaws wanted to give her a bike for Christmas that she could only use at their house. I don't know what sense that makes- starting in June you can use your bike every couple of weeks?!? We live on a dead end that has the rail trail at the end our our road, so access to almost 30 miles of bike trail and ice cream shops. Hopefully this summer.

Lauren and Ann- This is not to scare you at all, just to be aware. I have a little nephew and he has a reaction to the new labels in carters and gerber clothes, like the onsies. With the new labels printed right on the clothes, it irratates his skin. I just wanted you to know because they said he's not the only one. I don't think it's a big deal, they just changed his clothes. I hope some of that made sense.

Tonight's dinner is either leftover mexican baked chicken or leftover cheddar cheese soup that I'll add english mustard to and make welsh rarebit.

 

[liamsaunt]

Scotlass, your boy is so cute! Love the "scary" face!

John and I have the day off from work today. Of course, we are going to spend most of it doing errands.

Not sure what is for dinner yet--we will probably go by the store and see what looks good.

Here is the dinner I made last night. Filet mignon with mushrooms, baked mac and cheese, and ceasar salad. I did not eat the meat of course!

 

[Nancyg56]

Heres The Boy.....

What a handsome son you have!

Anyway, we're super excited that Kris made it through to the top 12. Very cool! Probably the coolest thing that's happened to our small town in the 31 years I've lived there. Needless to say we'll be glued to the TV this season!

I have not seen it yet, I cannot wait!

Marisa said I have to stop looking at your food porn, I keep moaning

I have all the food for the day done. We have vegetarian chili for lunch with brown rice or quinoa. Dinner is the bean pie and a salad. I made a tuna and green pea casserole for Jeff and Buddy.

Marisa took pictures of Nola for me so we can show you our new little Cutie!

BTW, Kady got her postcard from Wendie and is tickled! She is thrilled that the Princesses sent her a note

 

[liamandcaili]

Andrew my soon to be 11 year old is wearing men's size 9 sneaks and 30 x 32 jeans.

Wow, Lauren. He is going to be tall!

Aimee -- It sounds like you are having a great time. I have never tried the Plaza either. Maybe next trip!

Not going well on the baseball front, think that's why I've been in a funk lately. He has yet to get another chance to pitch since his debut debacle.

I'm sorry Kathy. Kyle will pay his dues, and he'll get his chance. Have fun at dinner tonight!

My inlaws wanted to give her a bike for Christmas that she could only use at their house.

Why would they only let her use it at their house? My ILs have done stuff like that though.

Scotlass -- Your boy is handsome! I agree that his scare face is not all that scary.

BTW, Kady got her postcard from Wendie and is tickled! She is thrilled that the Princesses sent her a note

Caili got hers from Mickey. She was so excited!

I have cod that I picked up at the store yesterday, so I am making that. I'm not sure I feel like having the Asian noodle dish today, though. I am leaning toward making fish and chips...Caili will be happy.

 

[Nancyg56]

Robin- are you saying your IL's were going to buy a bike but then your DD could not take it home????????

Laura- have you heard from Greg lately?

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Hi All,

Just wanted to update you on the growth scan...the baby is about 7#8oz and is in the 86th percentile...which is very big for this time. The doctor was in surgery so I did not get to speak with him. I am getting really nervous about the possibility of having a c section. I guess if need be, I have to have it...

I need sleep! I don't know what is up with this waking up all night long but it is plucking my last nerve! I was in bed to watch ER last night, fell asleep before the news was over at 11:30, woke up every couple hours.

I hate when that happens. Have you tried tylenol PMs or anything? I love Ambien CR but that has to be prescribed.

we're super excited that Kris made it through to the top 12. Very cool! Probably the coolest thing that's happened to our small town in the 31 years I've lived there.

Not sure wfd tonight. I think we're going over to one of DH's former co-workers house for a cookout.

I am really excited about Kris too! have fun tonight! It sounds weird that you are going to a cookout...I guess you are having warmer weather than we are although it is 63 here today.

WFD - We're taking Kyle & Mariah out to dinner to celebrate her birthday, she turns 18 tomorrow.

I am sorry that Kyle has not been been playing...like Laura said, he will have his time. I am sure its a big adjustment.

Have a great time tonight! Where are you going?

Good morning everyone, it's supposed to reach 50 degrees here today!!! The sun is already shining, sure were supposed to get snow and ice this weekend, but that's not today.

Lauren and Ann- This is not to scare you at all, just to be aware. I have a little nephew and he has a reaction to the new labels in carters and gerber clothes, like the onsies.

I thought I was having hot flashes earlier, then I checked the temp and it was 63!!! Very windy though...

Thank you for the heads up on the clothes!

 

[TigerKat]

I'm sorry Kathy. Kyle will pay his dues, and he'll get his chance. Have fun at dinner tonight!

Thanks Laura, Johnny is really taking it hard.

Thanks Lauren. We let Mariah pick the place, not one of our favorite places but I'm sure we'll have a great time.

Don't worry about the c-section, I had one and recovery was only a few weeks for me, in fact I was back to exercising after two weeks and back to work after three weeks.

 

[liamandcaili]

Laura- have you heard from Greg lately?

Yes, I talked to him yesterday...briefly, since he called two minutes before I was putting dinner on the table. He is doing well. His course starts on Sunday. This week, he took a pre-PT test and passed all elements, so he thinks he is ready. Thanks for asking!

I am getting really nervous about the possibility of having a c section.

You didn't speak to your doctor, so try not to get worried. (I know, easier said than done!) They base the c-section decision on the crown measurement, not on weight. Can you call the doctor and get an opinion?

Kathy -- Once the college season is done, will Kyle play during the summer or is the college team year-round?
