Speaking of that pic...

I got one like that I was going to post later. LOL

 

[helenabear]

I got that one off of Luis' camera... he thought it was so funny that you couldn't see me, even though that isn't what I was going for when I tried that hat on. Oh and I have a few for Bethie... her on Dumbo

Did her pics on dumbo come out?!!! She will love them. I haven't had much chance to look at all the pics. I think all the smiles I see in most of the pics say it all. I got some nice ones at 50's Prime Time too.

 

[DaveH]

I just got a call from Beth. She is on the ground fine. I get off of work at 8 and will go pick her up then. I work right next to the airport. I don't know if she will get on tonight or not. I thought I would let you all know.

 

[helenabear]

All of them came out!!! Which e-mail can I send them to at full size? They are about 500K each

More pics...

 

[Meriweather]

Love it!! Thanks, Elaine.
Helps after getting "server too busy" for the last 15 minutes And now my time is up

Welcome back Lily......and Beth when she gets on.
JRKaren...ick...hope you feel better soon.

Survivor tonight!!

See ya all later!!

 

[helenabear]

Glad you like them Nancy
btw, that was Luis "helping" you there... he's good like that

To share a sweet Luis story... we were in Canada one night looking around for something for a friend of his. We found her a cute moose... while looking, I picked up a stuffed Siberian Husky... he saw the way I looked while hugging it... and decided I needed her. So I now own a breed that I've always wanted... we named her Jasmine Not a live one, but this was nearly as good as the real thing with the way he was about it...

 

[KathyTX]

Elaine, what a sweet story!

You and Luis are adorable together.

 

[lilboo]

Awww sweet story Elaine! Mickey Magic! (Have you seen those Antonio****oo cologne ads btw--nearly bust a gut laughing!)

Anyway...am scrolling the last couple of pages-loveloveLOOOOOOVE those pics---and aaahahahahahaha!!! The Nancy beanie glugging it up-freeee sodey!!!

**Oh -inspired to make gookies-OMG!!!! That typo was TOTALLY UNINTENTIONAL! NOw I know how Liz mad e that typo!!!- anyway, it was a huge gloppy mess, dough stuck to everything. HOw on earth you can even get a cookie cutter to form a shape...the recipe didn't call for chilling the dough first but I put it in the freezer-no go. Upon cutting the shape, it crumbled when you peeled it up, ya know?? Ugh-am disgusted with myself.**

Anyway, nice pics...more!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Hi, honeys, I'm home!!! Unpacked, got laundry started and piles of *stuff* in every room. Tired, but very happy--I had a wonderful time at WDW with all of you Ya Yas, their families and friends!

JRKaren---what's this I hear about you bein' sick??!!!

Hope you feel better real soon!! Had such a great time with you and Jellyrolls was GREAT!! Will post a pic of you in your new shirt sometime in the next couple of days.

Guess I'll have to make some more shirts now, too! VickyBaby and KathyTX are now honorary Ya Yas after that tremendous dance they performed with JRK!!

Off to sleepy land for now, though. Hope the bosses haven't saved too much work for me for tomorrow and I'll be able to post some! Nighty-night!!

 

[Poohnatic]

Argh! I started a nice, LONG post and my fingers failed me.

I had a busy weekend here, but it started off so nice. The boss called me on Friday am, told me I needed to leave early (lots of OT) and that I could leave at 2. Yippee. I took my paycheck, went home and changed and headed over to WDW. We got to meet up with friends Heather and Jason.

Off to Epcot we went (do we ever go anywhere else?). We saw Candlelight from right outside the theatre and one of my coworkers was in it (right behind Marlee Matlin, too). Met up with a friend who now works at Epcot and he suggested going over to the Cantina to watch IllumiNations. All I can say about the Holiday addition is WOW! One of my favorite songs added, and the fireworks were beautiful, too. The song is one we did in church every Sunday growing up, so it has special meaning for me.

We shopped on the way out, then sat outside the entrance talking. We talked for so long that the monorail stopped running. Uh oh, they've got to get back to their destination, and after the merits of walking the monorail beam now that the monorails is not on it was discussed, we had a Beetle Clown car with 6 people in it.

As we drove out of the parking lot, fireworks started going off in the world showcase lagoon-judging by the Wishes type fireworks, we think it was the New Year's extravaganza dress rehearsal.

Yesterday, I was at work and my boss comes up to me with a box of the Incredibles toppers. He did it to see my reaction (I am SO like a small kid sometimes, lol). No Nemo toppers yet, so I have to keep the eyes peeled. Got some Figgy ones at Epcot !

Okay, onto three dozen pages of ketchup:

Nancy, thanks for the Eggnog cookie recipe! I have a feeling I'll be making those next week when the boys are home. We all love eggnog, that'll be fun.

Liz, thanks for the info about the Nemo toppers. One I can add to the collection. Kevin tried to get me a Princess topper the other day (I am not a princess by any stretch of the imagination!)

Lainey, that's a cute store about Luis and your new 'furbaby'! And I have pictures of Lainey smiling!

Bethie, that shirt is hilarious, I should have ventured over that way to see the Ritual Dance, I was just on the other side of Epcot while it was happening!

Scott Stapp performed at the Nextel Cup banquet last week. It's great to see how much exposure the Christian Rock bands get these days. The bands cover so many different genres now!

Tara, did you warm up yet?

Well, I forgot all the other stuff I lost. I'll check back in the morning. Gotta bring Heather and Jason back to the airport tomorrow-and I'm gonna get lunch in the bargain, woohoo!

I read all but ketchup will be poor.

Manda, so sorry to hear about your family and their injuries. Seems like nursing may be in your future. Prayers and PD your way that all goes well with their respective recoveries.

Amanda, so happy to hear that you had a service for your Mom. That is a great thing to do. Sorry that your Dad isn't ready to go there yet.

Sherry, Wow more sickies. Hope that it doesn't rage through your house.

Nancy, thanks for all those recipes. Mmmm. I think I am ready to go see Finding Neverland again. I really enjoyed that one. It was fun to have you there in spirit.

Liz, it was fun to talk with you as we shared our day with you. It was fun to have you there in spirit.

Beth, Glad you are home safely. It was such fun being with you.

Elaine, I know you smile! We had fun! It was fun to be there with you and see you and Luis enjoying the time there.(I don't think he realized what he said on that post.)

Kristy, so glad that you are finished with this semester! Look forward to seeing you post more now.

Tara, it was fun to meet up. Now I know that your name is not pronounced as I had thought. Tar ah. I get it.

Suzanne, Sorry that we didn't get to spend more time together.

Deena, you have such cute boys. What a nice family.

Rosemary, it was fun to play together.

Karen, I read about your son and his upcoming school picks. Seems quite prestigious. Congratulations. I hope it all works out.

Dave, it was good to meet you.

JRKaren, hope you are feeling better. It was a fun week for sure! It is official! You have completed the ritual dance and no one can say it did not occur. It has been memorialized by the Satellite feed. I know that there were many DISers who were able to view it and most likely Tivo/DVR the great event!

John it was fun to be there with you and that you were able to share with Sue.

KathyTX, Who said you were too old and tired to be a Ya Ya? I don't think so! Your dance was official and that makes you one of us now! It was a fun time.

KristaTX, glad to have met you! Tell your Mom Hi! Let he know I look forward to hearing from her.

PKRoch, I enjoyed meeting you and family too.

It really was a great time. I look forward to meeting up again. My pics will follow, but not for a bit as I am quite tired now. Last load of clothes going in the dryer and I am off to sleep. It is going to be a majorly early morning here as I am up so late.

I am sorry if I have missed anyone. I did not mean to miss you.

Good night all!

 

[Meriweather]

Aww...Elaine that was nice of Luis to help Minnie-me get that drink
And did he enjoy the Beverly too?
A husky....I have one too. We need to compare UW is the huskies, so it was a natural to add one to my collection.

Yay!! Beth made it home....and got a lot accomplished too.

Wow...Lily, that wasn't a "poor" ketchip up IMO...it was great!!

everyone else.....tired, so calling it a night early.
See ya tomorrow.

 

[TLinden16]

Hi everyone! I'm feeling a bit better this morning, but I think I'm going to take the day off from work. I just have no energy today. It took a lot of effort just to get up and shower. And now, I'm just sitting here at my PC. I'm just weak this morning.

KathyTX, you did a pretty good job of keeping up with us (although I thought you could have stayed at Jellyrolls late with the rest of us). It was a blast hanging with you that week (even with the geek talk with Ted and Luis).

Lily, I had a blast hanging with you and Ted as well! The mini-golf and all of the lunches/dinners were great. Oh, and the ice cream sundaes. YUM! Now I'm getting hungry (which makes sense since the only things I've eaten in the past 36 hours are one slice of toast and six water crackers, and a big glass of ginger ale).

Nancy, we had a lot of fun at the Beverly drinking contest. I drank two cups of it in your honor. Even little Liz drank the Beverly.

Suzanne, it was nice to meet with you, even though I didn't really get to talk to you much since we were sitting at different tables.

Beth, you are already unpacked? And started your laundry? Geez. You're good. My dirty clothes are down in the basement waiting to be washed. I would have done it yesterday if I could have gotten out of bed.

Elaine, it was fun hanging out with you and Luis as well. I felt like I didn't really get to gab with you last year, so it was fun spending so much time with you this year.

Well, that's all for now. I think I'll go back to bed now.

Morning!

No time to do a proper ketchup. Wanted to say hi.

JRKaren, hope you feel better soon.

Great pics that were posted.

I have to go to the dr. this morning. I'm not thrilled about it. I really HATE doctor's.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Morning Ya Yas!
Feel betters for those in need.
Hope the doc visit is not too bad.

I've got clothes about half way done. I've got Christmas cards ready for stamps that I need to buy. (Sending to those Ya Yas for which I have addys.)

It's off to work I go.

 

[helenabear]

Morning all! Work stuff got in the way. Taking care of stupid stuff from while I was gone. And the happy news I hear is that they are going to do some re-orgs again I really despise my job sometimes.

Kathy, I will be sure to tell Luis that as well... I am sure he'll be happy to know that In all seriousness, he probably would like to know... he's such a softie deep inside

Boo!!! What's with the filtered stuff there??? I haven't seen nor smelled the new cologne though... I'll have to keep my eye out for the commercial

Welcome back Bethie!!! Glad you are home safe

Suzanne, sounds like y'all had a nice weekend!!! I figured someone had to have pics of me smiling... actually Luis does too There is a cute one of me on Dumbo that he took.

Lily, I was glad to be able to spend so much time with you last week! I know Luis was thrilled to talk with Ted about computer stuff too And I agree wtih Nancy, that was a great ketchup!

Nancy, Luis said Beverly reminds him of cough syrup.

JRKaren, I do hope you are feeling much better soon!!!

Sherry, good luck with the doctor!

*sigh* don't wanna work!

 

[kimmar067]

Kimmar, are you really thinking Memeorial Day Weekend for the Yaya meet? Won't it be horribly crowed then? Just thinking out loud....sounds like fin though!!

...am I gonna turn into a FISH??!?!?!

 

[4greatboys]

We are finally home--got here about 10:20 last night. Boy was that an exhausting trip. Connor didnt want to ride in his stroller at all. Seems like I spent all my time saying "Come back Connor", "Stay by mommy Connor", "Watch out Connor".......you get the picture. It was so nice to see every again and meet those I hadnt met before.
Gosh Elaine you wouldnt know Luis doesnt go to Disney much. He seems like he was just a regular Disney freak like the rest of us. It was nice meeting him, and JRKaren--even though everytime I asked her about her NRD at Jellyrolls she kept acting like she didnt know what I was talking about, lol, KristaTX , Lily , Poohzanne

 

[isyne4u]

Welcome home everyone!! I think we all made it back safe, sound, and poor!!

I was going to down load my pictures yesterday but my camera was in my work bag in my car and I was too tired to get it out!

I am finally warmed up. The funny thing was it wasn't really THAT cold out. So I dunno why I was so cold.

Questions for the moms who nursed their kids....did you have problems sustaining production with the second child? I just don't seem to be producing enough now and I'm getting really frustrated. I know I didn't help things by taking the two trips and not pumping as often but now it just won't seem to build up. I really don't want to have to buy formula in a month or two (I have plenty frozen from the first 3 months so mom is using that while I'm at work) but that will run out before it is time for him to move to whole milk. It really is depressing to go from a Jersy Cow to barely being able to get 2 ounces. Sorry to anyone who read this and found it disgusting. I didn't want to create a thread about it because I didn't want all the people who nursed their kids until college to come out of the woodwork and tell me how horrible I was that I couldn't produce enough!!

Okay, gotta work. Don't want to but must!!

back later,
tara
