Ok, wow, that Barbie is seriously out of control!! I am glad we have been out of the Barbie stage for quite a while, I might have had to veto her!!

 

[momoftriplets]

OMG!!!! My Barbies never looked like that!!! What are they trying to teach young girls nowadays?

Heidi - new clothes for your Barbies are on their way!

My eldest turned 12 yesterday, only 1 year left

OMG

Good Luck!!! My DD really was the most wonderful child and teenager (and she still is pretty wonderful!) but thirteen was the weirdest age! All busy being grown up and wanting to be little at the same time. It was exhausting!

After 12 years of private Catholic school, I know my Nuns!! I still shudder in fear when I see someone in black and white run past me quickly .... or if I see a ruler. Those Nuns were little but they could sure whip a ruler around with some force!!

Not that I ever got into any trouble! I was a total angel!!

Ok, wow, that Barbie is seriously out of control!! I am glad we have been out of the Barbie stage for quite a while, I might have had to veto her!!

Isn't she wild? I never, ever, ever would have allowed that Barbie in my house! She is based on some comic, but I don't know which one. I hope she's just going to be a boxed collector and not for the children!!

OMG!!!! My Barbies never looked like that!!! What are they trying to teach young girls nowadays?

Heidi - new clothes for your Barbies are on their way!

Looks like a great plan to me.

Wouldn't it have been easier to say, "We're doing it ALL!" ? Just a thought.

[disneydusted]

You two are going to have so much fun with that list! I hope you get a dream again this year too.... maybe the castle???

I'm TOOOOOO excited to just say "we're doing it ALL" I gotta say each thing and clap my hands together like a little kid!

Oh, Barb, I dreamed about you and Jay and this PTR the other night! Now, I will say that one of my medications makes me dream so weird, so I have an excuse! I dreamed that my PTR was removed from the Pre-Trips and put on the Community Board because I wrote that Mini-Trip about Mickey and although "it is Mickey Mouse, that trip was not Disney related". Then Jay's trip was removed because St. Martin was not Disney. And then you went totally ballistic because you were furious and insisted they both be put back!! I woke up laughing!!

You two are going to have so much fun with that list! I hope you get a dream again this year too.... maybe the castle???

Can you even imagine the thrill of winning the castle?? Wow, what an amazing thing that must be. To be in the castle, knowing the park is closed, knowing you are one of so few who will ever sleep there? Just incredible!

You and your Barbie dolls and dreams just CRACK me up! Now, I am going to demand you around again and beg for more entertainment!

Works for me! I can just see you doing that, too!

Well, I have been known to stick up for my friends! & You & Jay certainly rank right up there. (Hi, Jay!)


Gotta love those medicated dreams. After (minor) surgery a while back, I had a dream that a severed head was terrorizing the hospital! Can you imagine!? (Can I even write that sentence on the family friendly DisBoards? I guess we'll see, huh?)

Hey - How the HECK do I multi quote the same post??? I have tried & can't do it. I think I did it one time, purely by accident. sigh....

Did you get the Barbie clothes, yet? I didn't send ball gowns. I thought the Barbies would want "regular" clothes, so they can "blend in with the crowd"!

We really need lives, don't we?

Everything that was old is new again -- women over thirty start playing with Barbies!!!

Was the severed head rolling from bed to bed??? That is hysterical although I'm sure at the time, it was scary!


Multi Quote is highlighting the persons message and clicking the little button next to quote on each one and then clicking quote on the last one. Jay explained it much better than I just did!!

Barbie Clothes are here!!!!!!!! I WAS SO EXCITED!! And the Barbies are thirlled!! Pictures coming up!

 

[SkyGirl]

Thanks to our WONDERFUL Barb, my Barbies now look presentable!! She sent me a care package so they won't be ashamed to go out in public anymore!! And they even have shoes -- two each!!!

I tried to do their hair, not an easy task after all these years!! They really need to go to the salon!

THANK YOU, BARB!!!!!!

We just celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday!! It was so much fun. I cooked her a special meal and made cherry pie instead of cake -- yummy!!

Diva came to the party, too!

I bought her at a pet store called "Pet A Puppy" but seeing her eyes like that, it should have been called "Pet A Demon!!"

And last but not least, coming up:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF STITCH

No, it was kind of zooming around on the floor, chasing people.

Maybe I'll wait for Jay to explain it.

I can't wait to see how they look!

I cheated. My responses are in red.

I have to go feed my starving children now. Will check back later.

TA!

 

[momoftriplets]

We were posting at the same time.


THE DOLLS LOOK GREAT!!!! I'm sooooo excited for all of you. Now you will have to take them out for a day trip & do a TR on that!

Happy Birthday to Mom! I love parties! We have to celebrate when we can, don't we.

Now I really have to go feed my starving children!

 

[momoftriplets]

Hey, Sweetie! Just checking in. Haven't heard from you for a while. Hope all is well.

Hi Barb!!

I sent you a card today!!

I have great news. Every few months I have to have my blood tested for any and all ickiness that wants to move in there!! My tumor markers and white blood cells are often off ....... warped ...... demented ....... but just never normal!! Today, they were.....

NORMAL!!!!!



Does that mean my sense of humor stands a chance????

DAY NINE!!

This is going to be an all Magic Kingdom day. We are having counter service today instead of any table service so we can have two the next day! We're planning Cosmic Rays and Pecos Bill. Both are super yum -- anywhere with a fixin's bar is big time fun!!!

DD and I made yet another change to our ADR's. We changed from Chef de France to Tutto Itailia -- I know I spelled that wrong!!! We also planned out our tips after looking at the menus. We'll bring extra money in case we order something else, but it's good having some idea. I really wish the Dining Plan had the tips on it still, that made it so much easier! I've read that the wait staff is really disappointed about it being taken off. I'm sure they get ripped more than rewarded. People are so strange about tipping. I tip 20% for the most part, 25% if the service is great and if it is terrible, I tip nothing. The only place at Disney that we had terrible service was at Boma. That waiter is STILL on my last nerve!!

This is what I really miss from Toon Town. I loved this little village and you got such great pictures of your kids!!

Tonight I'm making steak for dinner, but making it in the oven. I've never done that before but something is wrong with my stove and while waiting on the electrician, I've gotta use the oven. I'm too lazy to clean out the grill!! I'll let you know how it comes out! Hopefully no one will be !!!!!!!

Jo, it is almost time for you to leave on your trip!!!

I can just imagine how excited you are!! Are you ready or past ready?? I always tell DD that when my birthday hits in September, the rest of the year follows fast, but three weeks is way fast!!!!

Are you going to write a TR? I hope so. I demand it!!
