Welcome to the YaYa's: YYotC at Castaway Cay

[Pam]

to you, too, Elaine.

Hey - that reminds me - did you ever get your turn to pick a place to eat after Church???

 

[Kama89]

Pam: 1... Tom: Big fat zero! Poor Tom! But hey, what a way to go!! He went out a happy bird, I'm sure!

Elaine, Gomer talk! Awesome! Actually, to be honest, I need to familiarize myself with that story more.

As for the bad mood... working on it. I'll get to the PM if I find time today and say more there.

K. Is the basement being uncooperative?


Paula, I'm sorry work had you upset. Everything okay now?

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

OK - I'm over the work issue...... Evidently when I called an account manager to alert her of an emergency call (as per procedure) my "tone of voice did not make it sound like an urgent call".....note to self....next time I will call screaming "customers are drowning!!!!!!!"........

Who couldn't be after reading Pam's "Tale of the Dancing Tom"......

Pam - I hope I can stop laughing long enough when you call - that is definitely one story our DD's don't need to hear.

Speaking of which....DH got home safely from New York.

Cooking dinner and getting ready to watch Antiques Roadshow......

 

[Poohnatic]

Back from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire A/K/A "The movie where the director ignores anything but the TriWizard Cup"! It was good, but GoF being Ed's favorite, he was mildly peeved!

Kids fell asleep on the way home, so we actually had an easy time of it since we got in! Pineapple upside down cake is in the oven.

Pam, I flipped a bird once that didn't want to flip! First solo turkey day was a dear friends first w/o his mom, so we decided to spend the day together. Drove up to NY and discovered that he'd bought a 28 pound bird for the two of us! Not as entertaining as your dance with Tom, though!

Paula, I can relate to the coworker issues right now. So ,the fact that the client was experiencing a flood didn't sound like an emergency? Where's the drowning smiley?

Kama, still doing the happy dance?

Lainey, we saw a Skyline Chili ad last night and I thought of you

Thanks for the tips, ladies. I'll do what I did before the movie when we hit DOI:get lunch right before going! Sneak in candy and hope that the kids don't want souveniers. Psst, don't tell them I still have my twirly light from my visit to the circus when I was 10!

Got home just in time to see the results of the race, Yay! My driver's in 6th place so far!

I'm icing the foot and making an appointment for the podiatrist tomorrow. Ed is shooting for the same day off this week to try a drive by of EE while the boys are in school!

Hey gang,

Home from retail therapy. We hit the stride rite store first and found E some shoes!! He got the exact same kind but a full size bigger and a width bigger too!! The boy has feet as wide as snow shoes!! they cost half as much at the outlet as they would have at mall store. Yippee for me. Even the cost of driving up there and back still makes it a bargain!

We then hit the Carter's store where I got some baby shower gifts for a baby shower we are having at school on Tuesday. That was fun. and we got Ella's first birthday presents.

We then ran up the road to Mickey D's and then over to a Lee outlet store. I was able to pick up 4 pair of pants that i can't find anywhere else but the JCPenny catalog. They were half price and a size 8!!! Okay, so they are still a bit tight in the waist....I can get into them. I had decided that Monday was my day to start back at the gym...I've got the alarm all set for 6 tomorrow morning!!

So it was a good day all around!!

Pam...you had me with the turkey story!! Its a shame to eat one that which you had shared so much with!!
And what do you mean not letting me tell the kids about college!! I was such an angel in college!! hehehe

Yeah for Apollo!!

Okay, going nightty night!! Sorry I'm not ketchup up with everyone!!

hugs to all,
tara

 

[helenabear]

Back from church and stuff agian

Pam so sorry about your encounter with Tom
And thanks for the hug, things are just kind of meh around here.

Kimmie, hard to explain, just silly things making it rough. And we are demolishing the basement more or less because I've had it and it needs to get done. There has been a lot of "I've had it" lately and things are getting done. Just bad moods too all around and I don't know how to deal quite right.

Paula, what morons... do they not listen unless you are screaming? Glad you got over it though!

Suzanne, I think I now remember why I am not reading the books until after the movie comes out. ust hope to appreciate each alone and for its own worth and I know I can't if I read the book first.

Woo hoo for the day shopping and for the pants size, Tara!! You'll be hitting the zero's in no time

Oh I did pick last week... Cosí pretty good!

Grey's Anatomy is on... see y'all later

 

[believe]

Morning all...

Nancy...what is the 'red box'? You have me curious.

Tara...I can send you some cotton candy. Mandy received a cotton candy maker for Christmas. It is so easy to use and clean. Actually it only takes pre-sweetened koolaid to make the cotton candy. Last night we got the smore's maker out. I think this summer we are going to hold a carnival. We not have a snow cone maker, cotton candy maker and a smore's maker. Although I did tell Todd we should take the smore's maker to John's Memorial Day meet for Elaine and Sherry

As for soft drinks...I rarely drink anything except water. Not big on soda. I do like virgin strawberry diaquris, that's the my summer drink.

I need to get shopping. Was thinking this morning that I am missing sales. No time to shop though.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[helenabear]

Morning all! I should have fun around the house today. I get to put back together what we tore up this weekend

Oh wow, Amanda, I am jealous! I would love a cotton candy maker machine! I've been dying to have some for a while
I could bring in my smores maker too on the Memorial Day meet... I got that as a Christmas gift a few years ago

I should get moving again...

 

[isyne4u]

That's it I'm buying a cotton candy machine, making my own cotton candy, and selling it at the circus next year!! Thanks AManda!!! Let me know when the carnival is at your house and we'll be over!!

Okay, now for my daily bout of guilt...I am part catholic you know...
I feel like a horrible mommy today. I told Jarrod last night that he had to sleep in his bed because I was planning to get up early and hit the gym in the morning. He promised me he would stay in his bed.

Let me back up a bit, his counselor said I should, when he gets up, I should hug and nurture him and put him back to bed. He suggested I also put a tv in his room so he can watch tv when he wakes up....uh..that ain't happening. So now you now my options.

So at 1 this morning he comes in, I tell him to go back to his bed, to which he replies that he can't because he "hears voices" in his room (yeah, my voice screaming to stay in your bed!). Then climbs into my bed. well, this didn't sit well with me and I began my huffing and puffing and fluffing pillows and generally grumbling. I told him that I had to get up early this morning so that I could go to the gym, he said that was fine. I finally decided to get up to go potty (I was awake..I might as well) so as I'm getting up I practically screamed at him, "fine, I'm going to sleep in your bed, when my alarm goes off you come wake ME up. And then you'll be up with no tv to watch." and off I stomped down the hall to the pot. Here he comes running behind me..and says, "Hey mom you forgot your teddy bear!" (don't laugh...I still have a bear that sleeps with me ) I replied with through my pursed lips, "I DON'T want my bear!!" That's when he noticed I had turned off his night light. He then ran back to my room, dropped the bear, came flying back to his room and told me he was sleeping in his bed. He turned his night light back on and shut his door. NOt before sticking his head out quickly and saying (very sweetly) "good night mommy". I told him to come here but he didn't hear me. So I went back to bed and left him in his room. I was glad he was in his bed.

But this morning I feel horrible because I never went back in and told him good night or that I loved him . I had done so when I put him to bed at 9. So today I have supreme mommy guilt. I'm sure he is fine but I'm not. oy! mommyhood sucks sometimes!!

Oh, but on a lighter note...I reached my car from the house only to realize that I left my work tote bag in the office. I decided I didn't need to get it that I would be fine with out it. So I hop in the car, sling the purse into the passenger seat, and pull the DIAPER BAG off my shoulder to toss into the car!! In my haste to get out of the house I had grabbed Ethan's diaper bag and was planning on taking it to work today!! I guess I needed the binky in it! So after laughing hysterically, I took the bag back in the house and got my bag!! OHWHATADORKIAM!!!!!

okay, i'm done whining now. I feel better! On with the day!!

[alabamaalan]

Warning - there is a fever in my house...no - it's not the flu.....it's Harley fever.....2 of my husband's brothers have bought them in the last month.....I am not totally apposed to one but I did say "I think before we get a motorcycle we really need to get a clothes dryer "(I've been without one for over a year).....

Tell him he can get the bike as long as he drapes the wet clothes on his arms and drives very fast.

Pam, where is the video? Entering a wet T shirt contest while dancing with a naked bird snuggling to your YaYa TaTas is just too good to miss!

Tiara, what a start to your day I'm glad you are keeping in good humor about it.

My girls have never opened the snow cone maker they received last year. I suppose we'll put it out this summer.

Oh yeah...good morning y'all!

[helenabear]

Hi y'all... boards are slow moving for me (painfully) and I am kind of woozy from allergy meds

Tara, I am sorry about your night last night. I'm sure that one will be easily forgiven and forgotten by him. However, I am laughing at the bag situation

Alan

Amanda, where did you get that cotton candy maker? I am actually really interestd in having one for me for whne I get the urge to make some

Did bunch of cleaning and considering how foggy I feel, I might call it quits for the day

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Rescueing from page 3.....

Having visions of my DH as a human clothes dryer....not good.....

Elaine...how did the cleaning go?
Tara - I know your guilt......

Decided to move on from yesterday's work drama....since there is new one today anyway.....


Starting to get the "I wish I was planning a vacation" blues...

 

[alabamaalan]

Well, he'd be fine unless the garment specifically needed to be tumble dry.

You could go through a lot of bikes that way.

 

[dizneenut]

Have a nasty runny and red nose. Blech!!

We finally got around to getting a new digital camera. YAY! Just in time for Julian's party this weekend.

Tara, what a night. I've been there, girl. Too funny about the diaper bag.

LOL, Amanda. Bring the S'mores maker. I need to get one. I did make some last summer with our little outdoor fireplace thingy. (I don't know what it is actually called! LOL)

 

[kimmar067]

A final good-bye.....

 

[kimmar067]

...Yeah, Apolo is an adopted YaYa. I guess he's sorta like my version of a BAB. ...Kimmar! Wasn't that shot of him on the podium the sweetest thing!? He's worked so hard for that. So nice to see things turn out this way!....

I loved it when he pumped his fists in the air when he WON!! I was soooo happy for him.....

 

[helenabear]

Back from knitting

Cleaning went okay today, Paula, just tired and feel like I have a cold or something. Hopefully it is just allergies, but my nose is runny and my throat hurts.

Alan, not to mention the clothes he'd tear up doing a tumble dry

Sherry, hope you feel better soon, but yay for the digital camera!!!!

Okay I have to admit, Kimmar, he looks like a real dork in that pic!!!!

I'm off to bed. See y'all in the morning

 

[kimmar067]

...Okay I have to admit, Kimmar, he looks like a real dork in that pic!!!!....

...... .... ....waddaya MEAN "dorky"???!?!? .....Hrmph, well, I NEVER........Hey, Kimmie, help me OUT over here....
[lookit those sad lil' "puppy-dog eyes"..... ]

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Morning Ya Yas!
Quiet around.

Caroline, I missed a Caroline sighting! Good that you stopped in. Miss you, how's the ferrets?

Who's making the popcorn for the video of Cooking with Pam? I'll pass on the cotton candy.

TC, looks like your Memorial weekend thing is being planned w/o your planning. Guess we'll be having s'mores thanks to the sistahs! If you were thinking of making that weekend a graduation party, looks like it will be Ya Ya style.

I know you will all be pining with envy of me. Today is physical and off I go...
