Do you guys have fire ants in Va? My dad got bit by some down here and had a severe allergic reaction. Just a thought.

You were talking about food and I was thinking about Jack and the Beanstalk. Would those beans give you major gas?

Anyone remember that old game? Anyway, we are sitting in the family waiting room, waiting for news on Justin's surgery. I had to write, figure you all would appreciate this. Seems there were many Disney connections today, although hardly coincidental being a Children's Hospital.

Started early this morning while waiting to be admitted to surgery. Being a Children's Hospital, there always kids videos on the TV on the wall. They put an older VHS tape in the machine (most of the time it's Shrek) and this time, it's a Disney tape. It started with the old commercial of the two little brothers packing to go to WDW, with the older brother telling the little one all about it. Brought back many memories of when Justin was a little tyke. Next comes the first preview for a soon to be released video. Within the first few frames of the preview, I guessed that the tape was going to be the Lion King. Nancy looks at me like I've got two heads and figures I must be obsessed.

So we get good news in an update that all was going well, he should be out of surgery by 2:00 or so and we head on over to a restaurant for some lunch. Plastered on the wall behind the register are all kinds of foreign currencies for display (people come from all over the world for this hospital) and sure enough, smack in the middle of the wall is a Disney Dollar with Mickey prominently displayed. Sounds like the Pixie Dust is at work!

By the way, did I mention that he's doing great!

Will update later; I forgot to pack the power cord for the laptop and the battery is running low. TGIF everyone!

Oh, that is great news! I have been thinking of him all day. I am so glad to hear. The admins here at school hijacked my computer (with the air card) so they could go and investigate sites that were banned by the school board, so I didn't get to check and see how he was doing. I am so glad he is going well. Best wishes from our family to yours!

I hope you feel better soon as well. Would beer make you feel better?

Born in Bklyn. Yes, half italian.
Still trying to find a good bakery down here in Tampa....miss the good Italian Bread, pastries...
We did find a place that has alot of Italian stuff...but it's almost 1 hr away.
ahh, the forgotten Boro, home the of worlds largest garbage dump. I don't miss it one bit.

 

[AuburnJen92]

DH and I went to the store last night and restocked the Capt Morgan's since I had to finish off because of the horrible week...NOW we are ready for the weekend!!!! Whohoo!

 

[g8trmom1]

Welcome to the boards!!!! You should start a thread so you can be welcomed properly!

Oh, and YES! We do have fire ants in VA! Nasty little suckers! They got my legs once when I was gardening~Oh, that was awful!

Thanks Ami! Are you going Memorial Day weekend?

 

[AuburnJen92]

She is going to be in Europe....

 

[g8trmom1]

She is going to be in Europe....

Oh that's right!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Alas, Jen is correct. I will be in Europe. The sacrifices I make.

I will be in DL Paris and plan to check out the campground there. You know, primarily to give a TR to all you lovely people

{patting on the head} Yes, yes. Whatever you say.

I'm half Italian and half Irish(born in Brooklyn also.. although I've lived on Long Island almost my entire life)

What about bagels..do you miss bagels..or is that a Long Island thing?....I know whenever we go away, I can't get a bagel or pizza that is as good as NY. They say it's the water (ha!...that really makes your wonder!).

That's wonderful that you're in Tampa..how long have you been there? I don't think I'd miss NY either. (except for the food..and I figure I have relatives that will ship it to me!) We are in Nassau County and it's getting so crowded, the roads and the traffic..we'd love to be able to move south.
