Oh...I will put SPOILERS ahead of any Survivor talk for our West Coast ladies.

 

[4greatboys]

Not a Survivor fan but Friends was really good tonight, now Im just waiting for ER--then hitting the bed. DH already had to post some of his vacation time for next year--I hate having to post it so early before we have the kids school schedules incase we want to take a mini during school time. This time we are trying Disney the last couple of days of May and first of June--hoping to bet the summer crowds and trying to get my sil/bil, niece and nephew to come as well. Oh no--that means the in-laws will probably come to
Hi Shep! Good to see you.

 

[isyne4u]

Hi all!! Thanks for all the good vibes!!

I would love to do the stocking exchange but I have a lousy record for getting to the post office in time. Especially with working at the Dis during the peak season. So i think I will forgoe it this time and try another one later!!

Don't watch survivior so can't join in that conversation!! sorry!!

A few minutes of board suring then my tired butt is off to bed!!

Have a good evening all!
tara

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

The Ya Yas are having a baby!!!!! Yippeee!!!!! Tara, don't even THINK about leaving us!! Whatever works for your life is OK by me! And I just LOVE babies!!! If I could knit, I would start now!!! Congratulations, sweetie!!


Me, Nancy!! MEEEEE!!! See me waving my hand in the air??!!! I've already started shopping for my stocking stuffers, too!! I b'lieve you have my info on file already!! I'm so jealous, you are down to single digits in your countdown!! We still have almost 5 weeks

Kristy, keeping fingers crossed for your test. And Lainey and I did a girls trip in May--just to prove it could be done! I think another girl's trip would be a perfectly EXCELLENT idea!!

Besides--DH renewed our APs today--we're good till Dec. 2004! I'll just send him on his own again next year so I can go with you girls!

Reminds me of another happy thought--dh checked on our ressies for December and our wait list for Boardwalk came thru!!!!! I'm sooooooo excited!!

Deena, I think you and I would get along just fine with that sense of humor of yours!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!

The Pam and Jeannie/Jeannie and Pam Show??!!! ENCORE!! ENCORE!!!!!

Laine, hope your back feels better soon. Hot fudge should help


Rose Mary, hope all goes well with the rest of your dh's tests. I think he needs a nice long Florida getaway!!!

Sherry!! How is YOUR hubby? Keeping him and all of you in my prayers. Hope all goes well with the parties and the boys don't make themselves tooooo sick on the candy.

Oh, and Kristy.......I grew up with hodge-podge trees. No real theme, just pretty. I still like that, but I married a man who has enough Disney ornaments to cover 3 trees!!! I have an angel collection and this past year, we had enough room in our new place to add a smaller tree with nothing but angels on it!! So we have 2 themes going here--Disney in the living room, angels in the dining room. The rest of the house is whatever, because I have to have my manger scene--after all, it IS Jesus' birthday!! And there's the snowman candle, the elf village, etc, etc, etc, etc.......

 

[Pam]

Yep the Jeannie and Pam show...that sounds right, uh-huh.

Ahem - nahuh!!!
That's the Pam & Whatsherface Show!

Tree theme - ours is a little bit of this and a whole lot of that! I also use a lot of angels and the manger scene in my decorating -and also snowmen!!

 

[helenabear]

I won't have time to catch up, but I did decide... put me down for the stocking exchange!!! I just hope I'll do okay with it

I need to relax in bed for a while... sorry y'all I haven't been around much today... really busy at work and then we had trick or treaters and well, the day is gone

I think I'm going to end up having several themes. As my dear husband reminds me.....I get bored easily with stuff like that...so I have to have several options

Here's what I'm thinking....wadda ya'll think?

These guys will be the theme for our tree. All the ornaments and stuff.

These guys will be downstairs and all my kitchen stuff.

Evening

Got you down Beth and Elaine (glad you decided to join in ....you'll do fine).

Jeannie you can Survivor talk after you watch it. It comes on at 6:00 for me, so when you are done, I'm just starting and not reading any posts
It was cool.....but we have to wait!! Ack!! I hate waiting.
Not sure I like the idea of some voted off coming back though.

ER was VERY intense!!

The trip!! Yep ....getting excited finally Now that I heard the fires were improving in the area....but that means cooler weather (we can live with that...breathing is more important ).

If there is a girls trip....let me know...except my AP is DL, but I can work on it, if you give me enough notice!

And reminder......YCE sign-ups start tomorrow.

 

[dizneenut]

Happy Halloween!!

Today is Jared's 10th birthday! We're going to have family over tonight after trick-or-treating. And tomorrow is his party at the local skating rink for his friends.

Gotta finish cleaning this place up. UGH!

Trick-or-treat was fun last night. Perfect weather. Rose Mary, we went to my mom's neighborhood last night. We go every year. Tonight it is around our neighborhood.

Supposed to hit 70 today! WOO HOO!

 

[helenabear]

I really need to go back and catch up... still haven't had time to do that yet

Kristy, looks like your house will look great!!!! I haven't given a single thought into decorating... I suppose I'll be lucky if I get the Christmas tree up this year

Yay Nancy is excited for her trip now!!! Very cool!!!!

Okay, first Survivor, then trying to throw in the Bachelor (was it) and now ER??? Y'all are killing me

Happy Birthday to Jared!!!! I hope he has a wonderful day!!! And we are in for great weather again too today

Well I should get some stuff done. Check y'all later

 

[flrose]

Hi Sherry, Happy Birthday to Jared! I still don't get this 2 night trick or treating thing!? Elaine you had trick or treaters last night too? Isn't TODAY Halloween? I never got to trick or treat 2 nights in a row I think I got ripped off, LOL!

Hold your ears Elaine...................Wasn't Survivor wild? But, I can't believe we have to wait until next week!!!!!!To find out the
results. (trying not to blow anything for those that haven't seen it). Anyways, Nancy you are right. ER was very intense last night.

Ok, I'm ready to get this day overwith and get out of here. This is Fl/Ga weekend. I'm sure you all have those big college rivalries
well this is a big one here. Florida Gators vs Ga Bulldogs and they play the game here in Jax. Well, the complex where I'm working now is right off the interstate and surrounded by hotels so traffic is sure to be very painful this afternoon.
**************GO Gator! ***********************

HI Beth! Yes, I think DH needs a nice LONG vacation in Fl. He needs to come help me finish up the house.

Oh and Kristy, my Christmas decor is a also a hodge podge but,
since I collect Coca Cola stuff I'm getting more & more Coke ornaments so one day I may just have a whole Coca Cola themed tree.

Ok, better go to work and quit gabbing. Have a wonderful day!

 

[dizneenut]

LOL, Rose Mary! I got ripped off too. Not only did we only go trick-or-treating once, but it was during the day.
We get to go twice cuz the city my mom lives in decided to do trick-or-treat a day early. We aren't sure why they did that....kinda stupid if you ask me. Our city is doing it tonight.

Thanks for the b-day wishes for Jared.

Kristy, my tree is snowmen. I collect them and have them all over at Christmas time. Last year, we did add other things to the tree cuz the boys were tired of all snowmen! LOL

Beth, DH is doing OK. His shoulders hurt alot, but he's OK. I think he is ready to have this surgery and be done with all this.

Survivor was AWESOME last night. What a twist! Can't wait to see next week. ER was really good, too.

OK, gotta wake the last 2 boys up to get ready for school.

 

[helenabear]

I'm peeking when I should be working, but I forgot to explain about Trick or Treat here in Columbus. We have one night called "Beggar's Night" It is an agreed upon date by all the 'burbs and the city of Columbus. It never falls on Halloween and never on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. So it is usually about the 28th-30th of Oct. They say it is safer not to do it on the actual holiday itself and due to football and religious services it will never be held on a Friday-Sunday. So no two timing around here

Rose Mary, we have the huge Ohio State/Michigan rivalry... won't be until about Thanksgiving weekend though. Good luck dealing with yours this weekend.

Sherry, I am sure I missed it, but how did Junior hurt his arm?

I need to work again... later all

 

[4greatboys]

Happy Birthday Jared!! I was going to take the boys to my friends church last night, they were having a little "Halloween" carnival for the kids but we didnt make it. So I guess I'll take them a couple of places tonight. Matthew wants to go to a Haunted House--you think he would have had his fill at Halloween Horror nights when we hit Universal earlier this month. They had 5 that we went through! And they were very cool. Wish I was there now. Did anyone see the Google page today?? Very cute, Halloween themed.
We have been trying to find some new furniture--not an easy task since Im very picky. Even I get frustrated with myself, lol. Finally I found a set I like at furniture.com only to discover they will not deliver to our area--well even to our state Im sure UPS delivers here since dh works for them, wonder why they cant just ship through them?? Oh well back to looking.

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning!

Jared!!

Google always has the neatest decorations for special days

Hmm....thanks for the trick-or-treating explanations. I didn't get it either, Rose Mary.
Always been the 31st for us.
But.....downtown has day time treat-or-treating to the merchants the Sat. before Halloween. Kind of neat to see all the cute little kids walking around town.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I'm wearing my Dru costume(DBF is Spike) tonight

Happy b-day Jared

 

[p-nut]

Just wanted to check in and say hi all . Have been having computer problems(someone was nice enough to send me a virus) So I have not been around for a few days. seems a lot has beenn happening. Hope everyone has a Happy halloween.

 

[helenabear]

Hi all, checking in quickly here

Deena, have fun with the Halloween stuff tonight! I guess some kids never tire of it! I did see the google page too. Very cute! They always do neat things like that! Oh and best of luck furinture shopping! I can be very picky about things too and understand how it can be to be frustrated with yourself even.

Nancy, I guess being in a bigger city they just thought this was safer to do. Who knows though... I've done it that way for years I think though so it seems normal to me now.

Have fun tonight, CS!

Hi P-nut! How are you doing?? Sorry to hear about the virus though!

Before I go... I found Crack Creme... I hope it does its job because it smells like crap Enjoy the day all!

 

[dizneenut]

My laptop came back today! WOO HOO! I am sooo happy! I was sick of using DH's computer and not having my bookmarks, etc.

Deena, good luck furniture shopping.

Thanks for the wishes for Jared.

It is just beautiful here today. I'm so glad we won't have to freeze tonight.

Elaine, Junior isn't sure if he hurt his shoulder at work or what. I'm just glad they are finally doing something about it.
