The Ya Ya Express to the Wild West

[iluvorlando]

What's up with confusing me with Jennifer huh? We KNOW what she was doing last night!!

Hope you have fun at your SWAP.

Champagne and strawberry pancakes....sounds like a keeper to me. Just need to work on his acceptance of things Disney and yaya.

 

[iluvorlando]

Elaine, I don't think you can accidentally eat a pint of icecream. Well, I take that back...there was this one time, at home, and I ate a small container of Cozy Shack rice pudding. That was B.D. (before diet).

 

[iluvorlando]

Nancy, I see you got my request. THANK YOU!! I really wanted a pin for dis con, but knew it would be difficult to meet up with Towncrier. I don't even know if he made on for me. So, I really appreciate you making me one!!

 

[helenabear]

Congratulations Karen!!!! That's great to hear

Okay, now I feel piggish... I was sitting petting Cleo and working on something on my computer and I wasn't paying attention to what I was eating. I had only eaten once before so I wasn't feeling full. Now I feel like a pig after what happened

 

[iluvorlando]

Betty, what a coincidence! I just bought my darling niece one!! I got her a birthstone, cross, and american flag.

That is great that DS has all those college choices. I would personally lean towards FSU. But that's only because it's a Florida school. (Gator here, let's get that out ok?) So, you'll need to educate us on how we prepare our children for college, since it seems the guidance counselors have no clue.

Elaine, don't beat yourself up...we all have done that before.

Karen, glad you are staying on track. I know it is discouraging when you gain weight instead of lose, but you can do it!!

So, who else is planning on coming down in Dec....another birthday visit from my yaya's!!

 

[iluvorlando]

Ok, I admit defeat. I am giving up. This is my last multiple post for this evening.

Kim, did you see what Betty was going to do to Apolo if you don't come to Ohio?

Betty are you feeling better?

Pam! How are you doing?

Where has Nutsy been? She hasn't been here in ages!!

Marilyn, Beth....HI!!

CS...still watching your dvds?

Jay...sorry your still having puter problems.

 

[iluvorlando]

Oops, sorry.

[Dream]

Multi posting again Michele?
Yeah...Rosie and Hildey had an interesting night...WAY too much champagne...and lots of leather Rosie pushed her health issues over the edge though by sleeping under the stars with dorkboy!!! There's not enough of him to even keep Rosie warm!!! Now she's sick...poor Rosie. I hope she stays WARMER tonight!!!

So what's everybody up to tonight???

 

[iluvorlando]

Well, I am tired and have to go take my antibotic...so good night. Kim, I will be expecting an update from your doctors visit.

GOOD NIGHT!!

Still feeling stuffy but it will take more than that to get me down. Allison loves her bracelet. Got to run and put some sketty on. (No Laughing out there) Will check back. Got to keep the sketty out of the sink...............

 

[helenabear]

Hey Jodie!! Luis is gone for the evening so I am just playing around for a while.

Good night Michele

Betty, glad your DD likes the bracelet!! Good luck with the sketty too

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Im just trying to plan out tomorrow nights dinner. I got so many compliments on tonights dinner it really motivated me to cook more often...dh does some of the cooking. Im reading the WISH board also.

Good night Michele.

Elaine PLEASE dont get on yourself for the ice cream today. I bet most of us have done the same thing or something similar. I once ate a pint while on the phone with a friend. I didnt realize what I was doing until it was too late. Sounds like you did the same thing.

Betty I am so glad dd liked the bracelet.

Hi Elaine!
Night Michele!

Betty is makin more sketty!! Ooooo....somebody plug the drain!!!!

WHo had the meet question earlier?
This is what I have to date:
Bonnie
Marilyn
Jennifer
Beth
Betty
Jodie
All are definates for the majority of the weekend

Shep and Amanda will visit on Saturday
Elaine is coming at some point....duration unknown right now
Kim is working out some final details but hopes to be there
Michele is working hard to try and be there...we will fly out of Orlando together!

That's all I have right now. The last time we talked about this we were all going to try and arrange similar arrival times at the Columbus airport, rent cars and drive to the cabin together. What we need to decide is if everyone who is flying in on Friday will be staying the weekend and leaving on Monday. Pm me your plans please! Has anybody arranged flights yet? If so, pm me and let me know your ETA in Columbus so we can all work around that time. Anything else we should be thinking about at this point?

Hi hehehe...been telling Dh all about ya'll today! The Betty Sketty story, that Jodie lives close to a place we like to visit, Nancy and her charms.......... he is amused! (and called us the yap-yap sisters )

Betty...Chris is super! It's so great he is putting so much thought into his future.

Jodie, I made a fortune cookie, bead pin, envelope, s'more and God's Eye SWAP examples for the girls to do tomorrow. I got all the ideas from makingfriends.com. SWAPS are just getting started here. I hope it catches on.

Elaine....you are not a pig....yours is the reason I don't buy Ben and JErry's anymore.

I'll be here just a bit...then dh and I are going to watch a movie. Feeling snuggly and let's face it...you all are not that warm and cozy sitting here in my computer screen

Hi everyone. Well, today is a decent day. DW made a roast that was soooo tender you didn't need a knife to cut it. The Stars won 3-0 over Chicago, plus there's more hockey on right now. And I know what's wrong w/ the other computer (well, I'm almost postitive). I need to find my Win98 CD before I do the fix tho. For those interested, I have 3 files in my system registry that prevent me from getting to the internet. I called my ISP & they pinged me. I tried to ping Yahoo, but it didn't work. I pinged an IP addy and it worked. The lady at tech support was very helpful and knowledgeable about it all and told me what to do once I found the CD. Sooooo.... my messy office may get cleaned soon. Or it'll be more messy from me tearing it up finding this CD.

Kimmy, {{{{{HUGS}}}}}. I hope you feel better soon. I hope everyone else had a good day. Time to dig my way out of this room and find that CD!

 

[jldriscoll]

HI Jay! I forgot to say....I''m no yaya nurse but I hope you get to the dr office early tomorrow Kim. So sorry you are so sick.

 

[helenabear]

As sad as it was, I just lost track of how much I was eating. It was very good Graeter's mint cookies & cream ice cream though. So, at least it was good food

Jodie, when I know more about work and what vacation I can take, I'll let you know. If things go good moneywise I might be able to come for Friday & Sat night, but we will see.

Wow!!! That sounds great GP!!! I am always looking for new ideas for dinner. It gets hard to cook for two people and that I could easily adjust for just two
