Elaine...thanks for the offer. Just a lot on my plate right now.

I will definitely need to get a book from the library if the boards are going to be down this weekend.

Hi JRKaren

Amanda, I can understand... just remember that offer stands. I think I am glad that I have a busy weekend here Of course I also use IM quite a bit... especially when the boards are down.

Hi gang!! We made it back. We are broke and fat!

The kids survived. I survived the kids. The kids survived me.

The only bad thing with the trip was that someone opened our gate and let our dog escape. My brother has been looking everywhere for her, he called the spca and animal control, he put up fliers, and he put an ad in the newspaper. We still are searching but we are not very hopefull. Jarrod is very upset, this is the 5th loss he has experienced in about 15 months. It is geting to be a bit much.

Anyway, I will show pictures and give a brief trip report when I get a chance.

Hope all is well.

Whew!!! What a day, yesterday!! Singing and ding-a-linging at 2 church services, grocery shopping, laundry, baking and Bible study!!! Didn't leave much time for me to relax, much less post on the thread! And, of course, the boss is finding things for me to do today. I just hope he doesn't think he's going to get 5 days worth of effort out of a 3-day week!!!

Yessireee!!! If Fed Ex does their thing right, my exchangee will be receiving her box on Wednesday!!

Hey, JRK!! Talked to DH and we both think the Wednesday evening idea for counter service at American Pavilion is a good idea. We'll be there watching for you and Elaine/Luis!

Laine, I must agree, you simply MUST paste a little bit of a smile on your face when you get your pic taken!! Yeah, I know you were tired, but look how those silly pageant participants can look after how many gruelling hours of strutting their stuff??!!! Anyway, I love the dress and especially where that little bit of flirty ruffle hits you! I can imagine how it must look on a taller person, but I really like the length on you.

Amanda. Would love to pop over and give you a hand and a hug in person! One of these years, you must let someone else do all the work and you just enjoy it all with your family.

Nancy's getting her scrapbook room??!!!! That's great!!!! I thought you were going to have to wait quite a while for that!! Whooo-hoooo!!!!

Sherry, sounds like a good time was had by all at the game! And yummy chalupas?!!!! Whooo-hooo!! Had to laugh at your description of what your house looks like---my mom used to say that all the time!!! And I bet your tornado's name starts with a J!!!

Don't worry, Liz! I'm sure plenty of Dole Whips and chocolate cake will be consumed in your name!! Minnie will be duly greeted and hugged, as willl each and every Ya Ya! Dave willl be filming lots of stuff for ya, so you'll be able to see and hear a lot of it, too!!

Oh, Rose Mary!! Good luck with those new contacts! Bifocals?? I've heard stories both ways on those things and am rather glad I can't wear contacts. (Allergies affect my eyes) I'm with Lainey on your weather wish, too. Not tooooo much cooler, please! Just enuff to keep us from getting all sweaty and stinky!

Hey, Suzanne!!! Have you nailed down which days you'll be able to pop down to WDW while we're there? And did I see that you wanted to be included in the riot we will be creating at 50s Prime Time?! All right!!!!!! WTG on winning your Mary Poppins item, too! I can't believe you're going to do a whole room with an MP theme! You MUST post pix when it's all done, you know!!! Sounds like a GREAT decor!!!

Yay!! Pammie got the paper done!! Hope the birthday girl enjoyed her party. I think I might have been rather put off by some of that behavior, too. But, I think it is just priceless that you had to get that male "dancer" out of the hot tub so you could leave!!!

Well, I think it's about time to heat up my soup. Getting a little rumbly in my tumbly!!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Awww, Tara sneated!!! Sorry to hear about the dog, but glad to hear everyone survived the trip and each other! Can't wait to hear all about it!!! Please give Jar an extra from me--I know how it feels to lose your dog like that.

 

[helenabear]

Yuck, this cold this is feeling worse as the day is going on. Bethie... you've seen this... why do I get this yucky icky cold (that I almost will bet my life on that it will turn into a small sinus infection) right before this dang trip???

LOL, Nancy, I was glad that this weekend I have the wedding That and I am way behind in my reading

Welcome back Tara! I was just wondering last night when you'd be back and posting. So sorry about your dog though

Thank you Bethie... I swear I had been smiling... it just went away by the time the shutter flinally clicked. Gwenie had been doing her best to be cute and snuggly looking so I was watching her.
And tell your boss to shove it! It's a short work week

 

[TLinden16]

Yay Bethie and Dave! Glad you'll be joining us for dinner on Wednesday night!

Hi Tara!

Hi Elaine!

Hi Nancy! Very cool about the scrapbooking room.

[dizneenut]

Just saw your pic, Elaine. Beautiful dress. You look great.

Kimmy, the cowbell line is from a SNL skit of the Blue Oyster Cult. It is the FUNNIEST skit EVER. Bought DH a T-shirt with a line from the skit and a cowbell on it yesterday at Hot Topic.

Amanda, Sorry your feeling down.

Tara, so sorry to hear about your dog.

Beth, yep, that tornado definitely begins with a "J."

My package will go out tomorrow. I forgot to get a box this weekend.

Been cleaning and washing comforters/sheets all morning.

 

[Towncrier]

I LOVE the SNL Cowbell sketch.

I smiled when I noticed it in your siggie the other day.

No time for ketchup, but I need to ask if we are still going to have a "Gimp Around The World" in December and when the best time for that would be.

 

[isyne4u]

shh! don't tell anyone I jumped back in here instead of working!!

1st. hugs will be given to Jarrod. He stood out in the front yard and screamed last night. I guess it was his primal scream therapy!!

2nd. did I see a meet at Prime Time? When, where, what time? I hope I'm there for it!

3rd. Gimp around the world...count me in if it is during my time there!! Wanted to do it this past week. We did a little on the last day of the Wine festival! woohoo!!

I'm hopping to get to ketchup on all 50 or so pages but if I don't, can some one pm me any info on the meets that are happening between 12/3 and 12/6.

okay, gotta run again!!
tara

 

[Meriweather]

Welcome back, Tara....sorry to hear about your dog
I'd be screaming too.

Shucks....DH is dying to do a DATW, but no one is around when he is.,.....maybe some day.

I hear hammering Beth, I though it would be awhile.....and it still could be. He has been know to take a LONG break mid project.
He is off all week though, so he might just get a lot done.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Yippee for Nancy! Work is going on for Your room!

Tara, Hoping to be able to hook up with ya as the meet-ups are coming together. Sorry about the pup. to all of you. Glad you had a good time on your trip.

TC, yup DH and I would gimp.

JRKaren, Ted and I will be there on Wednesday...see ya there!

Sherry, your place must be getting all sparkly!

Elaine, get yerself some cooties be gone! Must stay on top of those little buggers. (Elaine, tell everyone what I have been told all too often by a dear friend of mine. He always says he's smiling on the inside! )

Pam, oh my, your story had me all a flutter. Poor man must've been cold having to get outta that hot tub.

Beth, you are one busy person. I need a rest just hearing about your day yesterday.

Amanda Don't take on too much and try to remember good things as you get through this time. I know it is painful, just remember. Have yourself a good cry, then make a new good memory with those you have in honor of all this mess. A good book would be wonderful. A trip to the library might be fun!

Thanks for the reminder about the boards this weekend. I had to make sure I got all the numbers into my cell. Mission accomplished! Anyone else need to exchange cell numbers with me feel free to PM away.

Supposed to go to the gym. DH is working, but I think will be ready soon. Must get myself together.

Liz, will do my best to get things done in your honor.

Everyone else, me too, love ya mean it!

Something tells me you let the cat out of the bag and your sinuses know you're going on another trip! Silly--ya gotta keep it a secret!!! Get the zinc stuff, drink gallons of OJ, and get plenty of rest--might be able to nip it in the bud!

John, by Thursday or Friday I'll be gimping right along with ya!! So, I think the GATW should be scheduled for then.

I hear hammering Beth, I though it would be awhile.....and it still could be. He has been know to take a LONG break mid project.

I say, don't feed him TG dinner till it's done!! That ought to get the work done!!!

Whoo-hooo!! The first part of our wait list came thru and we'll be staying at the Beach Club that first weekend!! SSR is really nice, but I soooo like to end my evenings at Epcot with Illuminations and then just walk back to our room! Yeah, I know it doesn't work on MVMCP nights, but, that's later in the week.....

Heading out to practice being a ding-a-ling! Catch ya'll later!!

 

[helenabear]

Hmmm... planned meets by us so far? Let's run them down. If I miss something let me know

12/5 @ 12:00 PM: Epcot by Ice Station Cool! An ode to Nancy
12/7 @ TBS: TBD in MK for MVMCP
12/8 @ 6:30 PM: American Pavilion for dinner and maybe some CP before Illuminations
12/9 @ 11:20 AM: Prime Time Cafe

On 12/6 @ 4:00 PM there is a meet at SSR for DVC people
On 12/9 @ 7:00 PM there will be many going to MVMCP

We can add more if you like. And for y'all who might be solo'ing it (or solo'ing with kids ) I'm good to wander the parks at any time. I have one tour I am doing, but otherwise I'm usually free.

No GIMP time met up, but we *could* just takc it onto the Ice Station Cool time... would be in the right place and I think major players can all be there.

LOL, Sherry, nice way of saying one of the four boys are definitely involved... Junior a contributor to the tornado too ever?

Nancy, I sure hope he gets it done... is he still hammering away?

Lily, I swear you should just get on IM... I'm always on... althought this weekend not so much.

Bethie, never fear, I am Zicam'ing and Zinc'ing it up. Congrats on your wait list!!! I'll have to stop over with you for a quick visit one of those nights Have to show off the new homes to Luis (if you don't mind) Btw, what time are you arriving on the 3rd? Would you want to meet for dinner or anything? We'll be at Epcot that night for sure!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

I cannot believe what I am seeing. We have just a couple of lilac bulbs at the beginning of our walkway to our door. One of the plants is blooming! I don't think that is a good sign for spring. The poor thing is mixed up.

Elaine, I think you have all our times as I know them.

JRKaren has a miniature golf meet on Tues a.m. at Fantasia golf.
Will we see any Ya Yas at JellyRolls on the 10th?

Beth congrats on getting your wait list. We will be at BWV so I'll wave hi as I jog around the morning.

 

[Meriweather]

We'll see. we'll see.
So far one wall is framed And it will have little shelves all over the room side.....yay! Lots of room for "stuff"!!
Deciding what to make the wall of....maybe paneling? Doesn't have to be anything too fancy.
Oh...two walls are already there......so a door and I will be set to go.
Need some tables and a rug and some lights. Must be time to go shopping

Well, my exchange package is in the city it was headed to. Arrived there early this morning.....but I guess it didn't get delivered today No one wants to say they got it??
Then it should be tomorrow

 

[4greatboys]

I have tried to keep our sch pretty loose for the trip. So far we have:
12/7--arrive & hit MVMCP (I guess I will call you guys to find a place to meet up)
12/8 ?? then Illuminations
12/9 11:20 Prime Time & LTT 5pm then MVMCP
12/10 ??
12/11 Maybe Universal/IOA
12/12 prob MK or MGM

Even though I enjoy AK Im not sure Im going to make it there this trip.

 

[helenabear]

Oh thanks Lily... I totally blanked on the Jelly Rolls on the 10th since I am leaving to go home that day

Deena, I am losing my mind, but I think you have my cell number, right? Feel free to call the night you get in.

Wow, he is working fast, Nancy!!! I am impressed. We have paneling in our one room and I love it!!!!! Pictures of when it's done, right?

No package here, Nancy... thanks for reminding me to check on mine. I can't remember where I put the receipt though

 

[HughJackman'n'me]

Don't know what I'm more excited about:
Changing my WDW ressies so now I'll be staying concierge (one day only of the 4-day stay, oh well !) at AKL or seeing all those hotties on the "Ladies, Who is the Sexiest..." thread!! *sigh*


Wow, a Ya-Ya DIS-Meet...kewl!! (I'll be there in SPIRIT!!)
