Freakin' Griswolds!
Hi Staley!!! I bought about $200 more in lights. Every year we have to add more lights the darned rain forest keeps growing. Dh has to add an other breaker to accommodate the new lights.
Sorry Albort. When I started worked at WDW there was a hiring freeze but they still let all the college program kids come in. Basically because we were cheap labor.... Anyway, I remember this strike looming and picketing outside EPCOT CM entrance that everyone hated Eisner. I always thought how should they go out and be happy to guests after all this??? Anyway, because of the hiring freeze we were treated badly by many of the seasoned cm's since their aunt or friend, so and so couldnt get hired but we did. It was tough for awhile. Goes to show you lots happen backstage that makes the job at Disney just like any other job with BS out there but at Disney its put on a happy face for the guests so they dont know. Thats what I always liked about it.
that is horrible ! because you know when i went i was totally looking to see if there were umbrellas next to the cart instead of being up..
Hey spongie! How are you tonight?
why did you offend me? I was just saying it was one of those things that everyone thinks working for disney is perfect and its NOT. I was agreeing with you but obviously it didnt come across right.... I'm sorry I'm tired. Oh and blonde!!!
i am good , freezing but good i think that is cute my dd6 still plays w the my lil pony that is the baby i think her name is rose petal.
I'm trying to figure out if I should buy my dd7 this...http://www.amazon.com/Little-Pony-S...e=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1195945953&sr=1-1
She wants it but I honestly think she will outgrow it quickly. She's an old and mature 7. that sounded funny but ya know if she was a young 7 maybe but shes pretty mature for her age.
If you switch to LED lights, you can use up to six times the number, aand still have a lower power drain!
We have some neighbors that have them and I always feel like I am straining my eyes to look at them it gives me a headache. 
I do like the energy savings though but not enough to switch til they get better looking ones. 
Story of a moms life, right?
then i would say spend the $40 on accessories for her AG doll i am glad that my DD is not into those yet?Yeah, she occasionally plays with her my little pony's as well. I just look at the dancing and singing part of it and think it will either break or not work correctly or she will think its too babyish and then I'm out $40.00.
She is getting her first AG doll from Santa. WOW STICKER SHOCK not just the dolls but the accessories as well!
She will be lucky if I can push the order button on one!
that is crazy i am off to sleep now too goodnight
it's worth the extra $. The poos still stink, but the pee gets neutralized, it smells very sweet when it's wet. It clumps very well too.. much better than the cheapo litters.Kitty litter... well I used several kinds, all in varying degrees of stinkiness- UGH!
Remember I live in an apartment, so it HAS to be as non stinky as possible.
The best I have tried and use regularly is Swheat scoop
It's a wheat based product, safer for environment (renewable resource, biodegrades) .. safer for little kitties (The regular scooping litter is not really good for young kittens because of the dust.. gets into their eyes and noses. Wheat based so it's safe if the kitties try to eat the litter. )
It lasts for a few weeks with regular daily scooping.
Costs a bit more than the other brands.. but when it comes to stinkiness
The problem is... it's not readily available at supermarkets or places like Walmart. Natural food stores, Petco, Pet Smart, Target are the only places you can find it.
I've got a Target and Whole Foods near my work so I will check there. If I can't find it I'll run to Petco or Pet Smart out by the mall. Thanks so much. Oh and my family thanks you too! 
), and DH and DS7 are occupied with electronic games...
Now I can work on my decorations!! 
You go Alison!!!
Well.... Last night dh went to his friends house, and he was there til 11 or so... I watched Knocked up on PPV, and it was SOOO funny!! I also ordered a pizza, and just chilled on the couch. Dh got home and watched the ending of it with me, and even he thought it was really funny! Today we braved the crowds and went to Cabelas. It just opened last weekend, and WOW!!! What a nice store! Dh got a work jacket, and Mikalah got a little cammo rag doll. VERY CUTE!!! Dh wanted all kinds of things, but unfortunately for him, we arent millionaires!
Just popping in at naptime to say 'howdy!'
My sister called yesterday to say she and my mom were going to Target, so I cruised through their ad and asked her to pick up a few things for me. I haven't heard back from her yet if she got any of my items, but my mom said last night that my sis had a fully-loaded cart on her shopping spree!
I still haven't ventured out, but now would actually be a good time to go. Munchkin is sleeping (or at least he was until DS7 went into that room to grab DH's PSP
I just perused some photos I took the last couple months, looking to see if any would be appropriate for a Christmas card. There were some from Thanksgiving of the boys that were cute, one of them wearing these weird googlie-eye glasses that my sister got, and one of them cuddled together in a papasan chair, but I still want to do something that looks more festive, or more wintry, perhaps. So will see if I can take them out and get some good shots this next week.
Hope you all had a great weekend, and I'll try to pop in tonight!
Hey guys, what going on? Just got finished with my Christmas shopping!!
And its really cold here! that gets me in the mood to decorate, last night in got down to 61!!!!!!! and today it hasn't gotten over 75!!!
Brrrrrrrrrrr!!
Get 'em hooked while they're young. 
We eat lots of candy! Order a pizza and get soda pop. It gives the parents a few hours to go shopping and the kids love it! We've tried the fancy gingerbread houses, but they always seem to fall apart. So we just use graham crackers and make little square houses with a flat roof (takes 6 crackers each) and they seem to hold up well with kids! Some years I get large christmas book and wrap it in foil to put the house on, then they have a book to read when they are done. But the kids seem to be getting a little old for that, so I just got Xmas plates this year!
