Shep must shower as fast as he pees.

I pee in the shower...Kill 2 birds at once..

Brush your teeth while you're at it.

Nancy, I'm happy to eat with Cindy... been since I was a small kid for me to eat there. Back then it was King Stephan's Royal banquet too... so not quite the same. I'm excited

As for BaB coats... there was a cute little "sherpa" coat they had, and I saw the most adorable hoodie that I think Lito will need I could drop way too much money at that store

It was King Stephan's the first time I went to Disney World.......and I was old then
You'll have a great time. It is very pretty inside.

Yep say the serpha coats....and the camo hoodie....is that the one you saw? Or s different one.

 

[helenabear]

Awww Nancy, you'll never be old

I honestly cannot remember what King Stephan's looked like back then, but I imagine the scenery has changed a bit since I've gone. So yes, I am excited

Todd
you crack me up though... but the peeing?

Hey All,

Just relaxing a bit before I get dinner ready. Its dh's birthday so Im doing the din din thing so he can just relax.

I am SO proud of my eldest. He made the middle school softball team!! Its the first sport team that he has ever had to be in competition to get a spot on the team. Upwards basketball everyone who tries out gets to play. He is so excited and its something he has really wanted to do. He loves baseball and this is as close as they have to it. His first game is tomorrow. Im going to see if I can get off work early to go up and see it.

CONGRATS SUZANNE AND ED!!!! That is WONDERFUL news!!! Suzanne I am saying prayers that you feel better very soon. BTW how far is your store from Disney? I was thinking if you couldnt make it to see us because of working maybe we could drop in and see you, maybe have a cuppa java if you have a break. We dont plan to leave until about 1 or 2 on Sunday so if we could meet then that would be good too.....only if you have time though kiddo. I dont wanna stress ya out with that being a holiday weekend and a big retail weekend.

Elaine congrats on getting Cindys!!!! We havent eaten there in many years. Had a bad experience with it and just havent bothered to try for it again. Food was good and all we were just given really bad information and then treated nasty about it.

Alan glad to hear you are safe and sound. I was saying prayers for you and was worried about you and the family.

 

[Meriweather]

Well, I feel old...some days more than others

Happy birthday to DH, Karen

Elaine.....are our counters coming back or is that site history?

 

[grinningghost]

Hey YaYas - I'm just here to crash your party - and if you'll let me, I'll even crash your riverboat!

Just ignore me while I drink all your spirits and pick off your buffet table - that's what we amateur party crashers do.

Mmmm... this stuff is GOOD.

You can thank Pam for "inviting" me.

 

[Meriweather]

Hi Patti.
Eat our food, drink our drinks.....BUT STAY AWAY FROM THE CABANA MEN!!

Nice to see ya. Stop in more often.

 

[Poohnatic]

Welcome aboard, Patti. Help yourself to any of the commestibles-just don't snag someone else's cabana boy. Okay, boys, cast off from shore.

HA! Now that we've left shore, Patti, you must perform the nekkid ritual dance to become a yaya sistah....but somehow, I don't think you'll have a problem with that!

Remind me that I don't wanna shower at the Shepsters house!

Lainey, congrats on the CRT ressies. Now that it's gone to characters for all three meals, maybe I can remove that from the dwindling list of character meals we haven't done (with cape may, liberty tree and breakfastosaurus)

Karen, we're an hour from Space Mountain! I'll know the first week of November whether we can do a breakfast/brunch Sunday morning with whoever can make it. 'Ohana's would be my choice, lol. (no surprise there)

Listen up, all you BaB mommies and daddies. I now work in a mall that has a BaB, so if there's something you need me to scope out, let me know! Saw a few of those boxes today, and they make me think of my yaya family!

Nancy, you are NOT old!

I'll probably be DISing until too late. If I prop up with the pillows, I run the risk of throwing my back out, so I do the chair thing instead, the couch if I don't cough too much.

T'row is wedding anniversary, and I have the day off with my honey. We're taking Neil to his doc in the afternoon and bringing the boys to meet the lady we interviewed to do Saturday day care-last year!

I'll pop in later...

Suzanne

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Suzanne you are a girl after my own heart. I LOVE Ohana's also. That would be a great breakfast/lunch if we could do it. I sure wish you were feeling better. I wish there was something I could do to help. I feel so sad when one of my YaYa sistas or bothers is sick. If ya want me to I will keep ya company while you Dis. dust that you feel better soon and of course lots of prayers from me.

 

[helenabear]

Hey y'all, Katrina made her way here brought some fun storms... I powered off my computers for a while when lights were flickering.

Now I am having AIM issues on my laptop I think. It's time for me to clean house on this puppy... need to make sure all my PDA stuff for WDW gets transferred soon!

Karen, congrats to your eldest!!!!!

Nancy, you're younger at heart than a lot of people I know. Plus it was I who had trouble keeping up with you at DL
Oh counters... one more day and they will be back! Annoying but I keep hoping less and less people use them when they die at hte end of the month. I like these better

Howdy Patti! Welcome to our crazy world!!!!
Oh yeah, we are posessive with our cabana men... so just be careful and feel free to bring your own!

Suzanne, they added characters for dinner? Last I knew Cindy only showed up at 1900 park fare for dinner, and she is only in the castle for B&L... am I off?
Cape May is actually very good for character breakfasts... as in food wise. Good selection there!
And I understand about the back... actually if I sit too long my back goes dead on me no matter what. It's a bad trade off if my sinuses get really bad for me. Can't breathe or I can't move my back... fun trades Get well soon!

Never went to 'Ohana for breakfast... did love it for dinner back several years ago. I hope you two could meet up for that

 

[TLinden16]

Look at the way cool signature someone made for me.

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Just stopping by to leave a and plenty of get well PD for Suzanne! Lots of prayers for those affected by Katrina, as well. Such a very, very sad situation.

Gotta get some sleep, but know that I love ya'll!! Aw heck, have another

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Anybody have restless legs syndrome? I am having a wicked tough time with mine tonight. The rheumatologist says there is something in my back laying on a nerve that causing it but there is not much we can do for it. Anybody got any helpful hints to deal with it? Ive taken 3 mg of Ativan and even that isnt calming it down.

 

[Pam]

Hey YaYas - I'm just here to crash your party - and if you'll let me, I'll even crash your riverboat!

Just ignore me while I drink all your spirits and pick off your buffet table - that's what we amateur party crashers do.

Mmmm... this stuff is GOOD.

You can thank Pam for "inviting" me.

Dang!! She broke the "code" and obviously destroyed my blackball ballot to get in here!!!



I'll be back in a day or so to do a proper ketchup. We've been busy moving DD into her college "slum" apartment.... and now I am doing battle with the evil slum landlord......

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Dh just gave me some news that concerns me greatly. Our ds's are in two different aftercares. I couldnt get my youngest into the one his older brother is in. Well seems that youngest ds is more upset about this than we even imagined. Dh was talked to yesterday by the main councelor and his councelor that the only thing my youngest will do is to come in and sit by the window counting Mustangs that go by until we pick him up. He is actually waiting to see one of our cars come by so that he can be ready when we come in. He told dh yesterday that he is truely miserable where he is and wants desperately to be with his brother. No matter what they try to get him involved in at aftercare he goes right back to the window. I have got to call eldests aftercare today and BEG and PLEAD to see if we can get him in. Im not normally like this but my little man is miserable. Hopefully when I explain it they will see how upset he is and see if there is anyway they can make room for him. Please say some prayers and wish me luck with this. I hurt so much for my little man.

 

[helenabear]

Ah Pam, I was wondering where you've been, and if all was going well for your DD (I assumed she was starting school as well). Good luck with all that!!!!

JRKaren, that is a good sig

Bethie Back atcha

Karen, how long was your youngest in the aftercare? I admit I had a mean mom who would always say "tough" to me if something like that happened. Good luck to him.

Kind of slow moving this morning... the rain should be over with though soon so at least it won't be so gloomy outside!

 

[shep]

Karen--Happy Birthday to your DH....Will keep you in my prayers with your DS..Congrats to oldest!!

Pam--good luck with the moving & slum lord..

Beth--

JRKaren--Nice sig...

Suzanne--Happy Anniversary..

Nancy--old?..only as old as you feel...or act...

Elaine--

Hi everyone ....remember me????

Can't believe it's been almost a week since I posted....I have missed all of you!!
Last week was just crazy - Alyssa stayed with Ryan till Thursday afternoon - then went and saw friends - we were up packing till about 2am!! Both my inlaws and my dad came to see her Thurs night to say goodbye and both also gve her cash!! My mother in law made her a big box of chocolate chip cookies!! My husband was a nervous wreck - not really saying much at all - at one point he just got up and said "well I'm going to bed - bye Alyssa see ya in October" and that was it!! Haha - the great communicator. Thankfully Alyssa knows her dad's personality - she has quite a bit of it herself - hates fanfare - attention - etc.
Packing the car went well - everything fit....and the ladies were off - me - Alyssa - my friend Judy (alyssa's godmother and also my college roomate) and Judy's daughter. Move in also went quite smoothly - she is on the 2nd floor - not the suite that she expected but now says she likes this room better. Her roomate is from Staten Island and also has a twin sister on campus. We finaly said our goodbyes at about 6:30 on Friday night - as I said Alyssa hates "ceremony" so I was very very restarained - just gave her a big hug.....to me she just looked like a lost little girl....
Fast forward....Alyssa seems to be doing really well - she calls us and e-mails - likes her classes and roomates - I am so glad that she is adjusting well. Altready she sounds so grown up an independant. Ryan is picking her up for the weekend so she is very excited about that too.
***** On the way home on Saturday we of course stopped to do some shoppingat the Outlets!!! Wooohoooo...I got 2 really nice capri outfits for my trip at Jones New York - great sales!!! And I also did some of Chris' school shopping.
I don't think it has really set in yet that Alyssa is gone -right now still just feels like she is at Ryans for a few days....Chris starts school tomorrow - finishing his shopping this afternoon.
No comment about work......I'm just glad to be back DIS'ing....
Hugs all around....
