Evening, all! I'm back from the World. Tired, still hivey, but happy. It was a fun time, although my leg is complaining at me right now about all that walking (I'm telling it to shut up!)
Okay, I'll do lots and lots of ketchup here:
Pam said:
Suzanne - hives??

Poor dear - I am sitting here scratching now in sympathy. Benadryl works great for DS when he gets those. Did you try Calamine lotion?

Pam, I wish I could use that stuff. I'm allergic-have a nice scar on my wrist to show for it-then when I was getting allergy testing as an adult, the doc tells me that I'm allergic to it because it contains iodine!

Elaine, you will laugh. Ed's seen your siggie picture and asked "what is that?" I was able to show him the location yesterday!

Lily, sorry you didn't get your time to shop, but wow! Ted did 4 miles! Just think, Ted's getting all the kinks of the Ipod worked out so that you'll breeze through this when you get one!
Amanda, hope the week is going quick for you!
Everyone complaining about the white stuff, keep it up in the NY metro area. Having fun with SIL here, so if her flight gets cancelled, we won't be upset!
Deena, I hope Evan's b'day was fun!
Liz, I apologize-never got to the chocolate cake, but I did get some tiramisu at Crystal Palace-that good enough? We always did the auto show in DC, and we're out of whack here and think we missed it!
Tara, if you don't subscribe, go to
www.mousesavers.com and get the newsletter. She'll fill you in on those wonderful codes to save money! Thanks to her, I got the Fl Res rates before I got the email from Disney!
Alan, good working dog like Winston has never had any of those goodies in those places, has he?
Tina,

How exciting to get to see filming!
Sherry, get the beetle-you won't regret it. Oh wait a minute, you've got four boys...Nevermind! Not unless you only take two kids with you! Mine has had six people in it, but only from Epcot to Downtown Disney.
Bethie, I'm having a hard time not coming up to DC for those Mickeys. Airfare isn't cooperating, though. Last year, I flew down here three times for less than 130r/t. Now I can't find anything under 200!
Hi Bella! How are you? How's school?
Paula, your daughter will love SUNY Albany. I have several good friends who went there, one got his MBA there. Usually don't hear to many out of state people seeking out SUNY schools!
Beth, you mean to tell me that Fairfax DIDN'T close? That's a first, they're usually the first to admit defeat! Sorry to hear about your son's truck being broken into...that's frustrating.
Caroline, welcome back...what happens in February, STAYS in February. Sorry, channelling the Muppet Wizard of Oz there.
Happy Birthday, Rod! Double Decade, woohoo!
Okay, I'm caught up.
Had a great time, but back to work in the am. That means I need to hit the hay! But I will tell more tomorrow, as well as post some topper pictures! Yep, found a bunch of new ones this time! Woohoo!
Goodnight!
Suzanne
