Look at your ticker, it's already under 5 months! 
I finally saw everyone pics last night. 
It was terrible. We had to rush him to the hospital - he was clinching his teeth so hard, and my mom couldn't find anything else, so she made him take off his sock and bite down on it until we got there. Ugh, needless to say he started *buying* our christmas tree after that. 
AS LONG AS - Bob still has a steady job by then, and as long as we can still go to WDW in Sept with my family. It may be a shorter trip - but I can't blow them off. We've been planning it forever and we've both really been looking forward to it. 
) and she told me that if I only took one more trip in my lifetime that it should be to Alaska. She thought it was absoluely breathtaking. I hope it works out for you!
Here Trixie- This should keep you warm during the blizzard!
I really hope that this works out - but I am just so nervous about Bob's job that I can't book until after Tax Return Season. It's my favorite time of year. 
a big fat THANK YOU to my deluxe pusher. 
It was thru many many hours of painstaking talking that "WE" 
booked my resort. Thanks for the support for days n days.... (that turned to weeks...) on end of listening.
Dumb us. Our tree that year was lovingly nicknamed Hunchback. It was the ugliest tree we ever had b/c after standing in a blizzard- I pointed to one and said "That's it" and ran to the car. It was so ugly- I never even really looked at it. When we got home, we realized it had a "Hump" in that back. Thus- "Hunchback".

Good afternoon everyone! Hope all is well!
As soon as DD and the rest of the gang stop squirming on their nap mats I'm calling Disney!!!! Today's call is the unhappy Disney call though- the big pay off. (where's the smilie with empty pockets showing that it's broke when you need him?)
At least I can say that tomorrow is 45 days out!
Got all my Christmas presents wrapped last night. Only one more to buy- the Harry Potter DVD for my nephew and perhaps a copy for myself might slip into the cart.
RF- Congrats on getting ready to book for September!
DH thought I was crazy talking about when we're going to book our next trip when we haven't even gone on this one yetThen in 2012 (unless I can convince him earlier than 2012) we'll head back to Disney the first week of Dec because we've never seen it decorated for Christmas. See I have it all planned. Not nuts. Just type A.
Jo- Our tree is a real one- DH cut it down himself. He was the only one there with a chainsaw. He doesn't mess with those piddly little hacksaws when it's cold.
Oh my goodness. Am I ever glad I re-read this page this morning.
I was sitting at DD10's orchestra concert last night, which included the 5-6-7-8 grade orchestras, and one of the boys in the eighth grade orchestra looked sooooooooooo familiar to me, but I couldn't place him. I looked at the names in the program...nothing. I asked my DH and DD7 if we knew him...nothing. It was driving me crazy!
And then I read your post this morning.
That kid last night looked exactly like your DS!!! I knew it as soon as I saw your post.
Phew! I feel so much better!
I didn't know we went to the same school. Our concert was last night! Hi everyone!
Monny - Your kids are adorable! They look exactly alike! You're tree turned out great too!
Random story about Heather's past - My dad used to cut down our tree with a chainsaw every year, but then one year when I was about 11 or 12, he was on a slight hillside and he started to slip - and I don't know *exactly* how it happened, but he cut his thumb almost all the way off!
So - TELL HIM TO BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
Sea - Any more Caribbean pics for me...
OK, So I know that I am constantly planning vacations and telling you guys about them and then they fall through. BUT - there is a possibility of an Alaskan cruise for us in May.
So - cross your fingers for me!
Well, after shopping all day....
I bought this dress to wear to the Holly Ball except in brown.
I am so tired.
Then I bought DD a different dress. I am going to make her try it tonight.
You need chocolate pearls to accent it with.
So, my parents are paying for her trip and they want me to make something up for her to give her on Christmas. LOL. and make them like 'Good for one free Monorail ride' or 'Good for one train ride to the Himalayas' and then have them get more and more obvious. You know? OR - Making a disney scrapbook page and leaving space for the pictures and write in 'Your picture goes here' - OR like a scavanger hunt for clues. 
Love Adriana Pappell's designs.
This is the same dress that I wore to a wedding this summer only in a two toned champagne color.
MCat also had a dress by A. Pappell that looked similar, only with a high neck, that we got from Ann Taylor.
You will feel glamourous all night.
We bought mCat a single strand chocolate pearl necklace with matching earrings in Hawaii and I have been very jealous of them ever since.
It's cold in them thar hills! 
She tried it on last night and she just looked lovely. Holy runaway monorail tickers batman! I'm in the four month range now!!!!!
I shall banana dude myself....
It's like Winnie the Pooh and The Blustery Day out there. Just add cold and snow!!!
Had to hold onto Ethan tight at the bus stop this morning.
Now off to gymnastics and get some groceries... catch up with you later.
NC- GORGEOUS DRESS!!!!
Well, winter has finally reached Pittsburgh
But I got some really good news yesterday!!! My sister Casey is coming to WDW with us in September!!! We talked about taking her, and she said that she would ask my parents to pay for her. So, I kind of thought she forgot about it and didn't really care, but my mom said that and 'new glasses' were all she asked for for Christmas.
How should I do it? I was thinking about making her a 'coupon booklet' you know like the generic ones you give your parents for hugs and to do the dishes?
What do you guys think? I am so excited!
P.S. - It's a surprise.
I've always wanted to use that guy!!
That is always of utmost importance to me.
