Morning, everyone! Working the late shift tonight, so I have time to visit with my DIS family for a bit while the laundry is going. Still having issues with the daggone water heater--it keeps "blowing its top" and our poor downstairs neighbor keeps having to get his ceiling fixed.

Thank goodness this all comes out of the builder's and plumber's pockets!! So, they've fixed the mixing valve, added a shut-off valve, re-glued the faulty connector, and replaced the thermostat. We got the word yesterday that we will be getting a whole new water heater on Monday.

The woman who scheduled it said something about the "lemon law"!!!
Bit the bullet and made ressies for WDW the other day. Got a good deal on airfare, too--only $177.10 round trip on United! I really expected over $200. Still putting off the knee surgery (I just don't wanna do it!!) and my store manager may be moving to Texas in June. District Manager says she will make me take the promotion to SM, but I will quit before that happens. So, I'm not even sure what my job situation will be, come fall. In any case, we'll be at VWL Oct. 29 thru Nov. 2!! Planning to hit the
MNSSHP one night and hopefully hook up with Nancy and her Dave a time or two!
Hope things simmer down for you soon, Tara. I know how frustrating it is with the dr. visits and trying to nail down the proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Big

for ya and I'll deliver another in person NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!
Good luck with your surgeries this week, Suzanne. I don't envy you one bit! And I'll echo that whoo-freaking-hoo on the neighbor and the fence!! Sounds like you aren't the only one who doesn't want the neighborhood kids ruining your yard.
Sherry, I am just stunned over how big all your boys are getting!! It seems like such a short time ago that we met you all in Chicago and now you say they're all getting to be taller than you!!! I think you can quit putting Miracle Grow in their food, now, LOL! Good to hear Junior will be working days, now. Sorry it creates car problems, though. Hope fixing the work car doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Nancy, it sounds like your house is really looking spiffy with all the painting and remodeling you've been doing over the last couple of years! I read you were booking another LV trip--when will that be? Must get our heads together and plan a get-together at WDW, now. We think we are going to try the dining plan thing, now that it's available to DVC people, too. What about you?
Aww, Paula, don't beat yourself up over not realizing Chris was actually sick. I think all us moms have done that a time or two, or three or four, even!! Hope he is feeling better and all those nasty germies move on out real soon. Belated birthday wishes to your dad, too!
Sorry about the snowy weather, there, Elaine. It was forecast here, too, but we never saw a bit of it. Just running about 10 degrees cooler than normal for this time of year. Can't seem to put that winter coat away, just yet. I am very ready for spring this year!
Lily is having guests next weekend? Gee, who could that be?? Hope you all have a blast and a great walk!! You'll definitely be the best dressed bunch there, with your special t-shirts!
Time to switch the laundry and my kitchen floor is begging to be mopped. sigh......what was it mom used to say about a woman's work never being done? Dang, she was right again! Later, all!!
