I gotcha now! I never claimed to be awake yet ;) So.... I hope you and Christin enjoy the time together!!!!

And Happy Birthday to M'Cori!!!!! :cake:

I bet she'll love her gift ::yes::
 
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. :guilty: 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. :rolleyes: 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 :hug: 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!! :grouphug:

I need to go but had to "talk" to Beth since I don't see her much anymore :( :hug:

YES!! Need to see you on your trip. We hope to hit MNSSHP one night also. Have heard rumors of a more grown-up party at MGM also......need to keep an ear open about it.
The two Dave's together will be a riot!! :rotfl: They can go bit for bit on Disney trivia :teeeth:

We are going to LV June 11-14. Staying at Treasure Island this time. Have booked Cirque du Soleil's Mystere already too :)
It will be a bit hot, but doable (I hope)

Also going to CA May 4-7 to visit Geoff and M'Cori.

Gotta go :wave:
 
Hi all :wave2:

I am planning a WDW trip for June 5-10. Do not have room booked yet. Going with Mom and Sister and we can't agree on a hotel :rolleyes: .

Have to say the weather is perfect here today. Suppose to be about 82 degrees.

Nancy I have been to LV in June. I remember it was hot outside and extremely cold indoors. Felt stupid carrying a sweater everywhere I went. Loved the Cirque shows.

So am I the shortest YaYA? I am only 4'11. Please tell me it is not so.

Liz congrats on the Job and the house.

Will have to catch up with everyone else later. Taking Jessica to get her haircut and maybe some shopping.

So Tara, who won the fight? ;)
:rotfl2: we are both in our corners right now. I think we are pretty much even at this point. I'm sure there are still a round or two in the works and I plan to win those!! hehehe

Beth...I can't wait to see you next week!! What's wrong with the job? I'm sorry you're not happy there.

Nancy..have fun playing!! Happy birthday to Mcori!!

Tina...why don't you pick the hotel and tell the rest where you are going!!

Suzanne...great news on the fence!!! Have fun at work today!

Sherry...good that DH will be home at night, sorry about the car tho!!

Haven't started scrapbooking yet....been too busy "scraping" with PITA!!

back later,
tara

Nothing wrong with the job as it is now. I still love it! Problem is that my Store Manager and her family are not happy with No. Va., she has come to hate her hour-long commute (not that I blame her), and the corporate big-wigs are trying to convince her to move to Texas. I was asked by our District Manager if I was ready to step up if Jacque decided to move. When I said no, that I didn't think I had learned enough, she said she would MAKE me take the promotion. Truth of the matter is, I don't WANT to be a store manager--EVER!! Maybe if I was 20 years younger.......I just don't think I can keep tabs on everything at once like I used to be able to do. And I don't have the corporate mentality or competitive nature that an SM needs to have.

Personally, I am hoping for MNSSHP on the 29th. I know they don't do it every night and Halloween night will most likely be the most crowded. It's usually sold out early, I understand. A more "grown-up" party at MGM??!!! That could be even better! Must come up with costumes we won't roast in, though. It was well above 70º the last time we were there!

Hi, Tina!! Don't worry, we love all our Ya Ya sistahs, no matter how vertically challenged they may be! You joining up with the All-Girls trip? I'm sure ya'll will come to an agreement on a hotel soon. Heck, it's WDW! Who cares where you sleep--you're in the World!!
 
...no time fer

...gotta finish my homework.... :moped: !!
(Hey Steelers fans, check out the LABEL... ;) )

Just finished mopping the floors so thought I would pop in and play for a bit. :teeth:

Junior has to work today so the boys and I are just hanging at home today. I've been cleaning and the boys have been locked away in their rooms playing video games. :teeth:

Hi Tina! :wave: I agree with Tara, pick the hotel and tell the rest where you are staying. :teeth:

Beth, I don't blame you for not wanting to be a SM. I wouldn't either. Hope all that gets worked out. I can't believe how big my boys are getting either. They grow up way too fast. Jonathan will be 16 in August. :faint:

Nancy, have fun on your play date. Happy B-day to M'Cori. I'm sure she'll love her gift. :)

Hi Elaine! :wave: Just when the boys and I were used to Junior being on afternoons and getting into a schedule, everything will be flipped upside down again. :rolleyes1
 
Hi y'all. More or less just been hanging out with Luis today doing nothing. This is the most quiet it's been for a while so we took advantage of it today :)

Bethie, that water heater sounds like a PITA for everyone! I hope they finally get it right soon! And woo hoo on the booking of the ressies. Someday I'd like to try out MVMCP myself. Where will y'all be staying?
Sorry about the job, and I understand why you wouldn't want to be store manager there. That is a lot of responsibility I am not sure I would want either.

Have fun planning all those trips, Nancy! Sounds like you have a lot coming up!

Tina, always good to see ya stop in. You are shorter than me but I hover between 5' and 5'1" so you really aren't any shorter than me! We used to have a Ya Ya who was shorter than you though!

LOL, Tara... at least you aren't losing the fight there :teeth: ANd I think you have the right idea for Tina! She should pick and let the others follow :teeth:

I cannot believe Jonathan will be that old this summer though, Sherry :faint: I remember when there was the countdown for him becoming a teenager :eek:

Howdy Kimmar, curious what that thread is... will have to look later!
 
Had a great day. :sunny:

We saw Failure to Launch. VERY cute and funny!! ::yes::

Beth, hopefully a new water heater will solve that problem.
Glad they are finally doing that.
Don't blame you for not wanting to be SM.
Hmmmm...costumes?? All the ones we are have huge, so don't think they will be going.
Maybe just tee shirt "costumes" ;)

:wave: Tina. Las Vegas in June can't be as bad as it was when we went in August!!
Glad to see you drop in.

Sherry....yep those kids grown so fast. I swear I am not old enough to have the ones I have :rotfl:

Glad you had a relaxing day, Elaine.

M'Cori liked her necklace. :teeth: Well, at least she said she did. Guess that is all I can go by.

Booking another room for Aug. Christin wants me to go to a friend's wedding with her about 5 hours away, so we are having a mini road trip :)
 
Evening, all.

Got the call I'd been waiting for! I need to fill out the application and fax it back so they can do reference checks, but they're getting an offer package together!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

I need to get to bed-long day tomorrow, but I wanted to share my happy news!

Suzanne
 
Good Morning!!

Finally feeling much better! I have spent the better part of the last few days dealing with soem really ouchie back pain. Today is the first day I have been able to get out of bed pain free!! Yeah!!! I think I may even get a nice little walk in as it looks like it is going to be a nice day. It was beautiful here yesterday......maybe a picture perfect day!!

Suzanne, congrats on things coming together for you. Hope you get a great offer!!

Bethie, I say go for the SM position!!!! You underestimate yourself. But, if you really don't want it...I guess I can get that too!! I think you would be a great manager!!

Nancy, sounds like you have really kept busy! Lots of trip planning going on! Lucky you!! I actually think there may be a trip in our future in December if things go well with this job. Greg says he would like to go in December. I can only hope!! I NEED a Disney trip. It has been too long since I was last there.

Elaine, aren't hanging out days fun? Greg and I got to do a bit of that ourselves yesterday. We have been so busy the last few months...it was nice to not have to get up early and not have anywhere to go. Can't wait to meet up with you next week! I am really looking forward to the weekend. See you soon!!! :teeth:

Tina, I agree with the others.....take the ball and let them follow your lead! I usually "tell" my family where we are staying and make strong suggestions....Of course since htey all live in Florida, they are able to get some pretty good deals on rooms...and they aren't terrible upset that I go to Disney rather than going to their houses....they kind of like it when I blow into "town". We usually end up haivng a lot of family fun...and do it at Disney...sometimes that is just better that way. My family is a wreck!

:wave2: Sherry!! Your boys are getting old!!! What is that saying about the rest of us? I sudder to think!! :p

That was funny stuff Kim! Thanks for the link!!! What is new in your neck of the woods?

Where has JRKaren been hiding lately? Haven't seen her for a while....do we need bail money?

Pam, where is your hubby? :lmao:

Tara, how is that scrappin going? Did you get to scrap...or did you scrap? :rotfl2: Hope you guys can come out of your corners and play nice. Are you going to go and visit Bethie soon? Did I read that somewhere?

Well, I am off to get going on the day! I think I am going to iron all my clothes for the week. I actually have to dress for this job...so I better make sure I get all my stuff figured out and ready to go...also think I will get things packed for the weekend too as I think I ma leaving Thursday right after work for a fun filled weekend!

Have a great day and enjoy what is left of the weekend!!

:woohoo:
 
Morning y'all! Still below freezing here, but at least we have sunshine!!! :sunny:

I'm envious of you and Beth, Nancy! I really would love to go to WDW during MNSSHP. I like dressing up ;) Glad to hear that M'Cori liked her necklace too!

Woo hoo Suzanne! So glad to hear the good news! I hope hte offer is a good one and that moving to this company will be exactly what you need ::yes::

We have church then lunch. After that I think we are going to try to move a hutch downstairs. We are slowly moving all things computer related down there. I'm happy since I am sick to death of Luis' computer being in the great room. Eventually his will make it down there, but we still have to wait for him to rewire part of the house for that to happen.
 
Morning!

Woke up to snow flurries, but thankfully they aren't sticking. :bounce:

Liz, glad your feeling a bit better.

Suzanne, congrats!! :jumping1:

Nancy, glad M'Cori liked the necklace. :) You sure have alot of trips coming up! :eek:

Hi Elaine! :wave:

Church, then a stop at Wal-mart, then not sure what else. I do want to watch Walk The Line, so that will be squeezed in somewhere. :teeth:

Where's Alan when you need him?? :rotfl:
Hope the job is all you want, Liz and hope you can get that Dec. trip in.

:woohoo: Suzanne. So glad things are coming together for you.

Have a good day, Elaine.

Enjoy Walk the Line, Sherry.

We are doing our usual movie and lunch today. Seeing Inside Man this time.
Yep lots of trips coming....and then there will probably be a LONG time of no trips :rolleyes: I do love to travel.

Have a good day, everyone :wave:
 
Hey look, Kimmie got a little Wookie!
:teeth: Alan you're bad!!! :rotfl:

I'm drowing in grout and paint!! Blub blub.... :( Someday this WILL be over! It's looking good, but oh are we pooped!!

Oooh... Beth, your water heater sounds like my dishwasher. I haven't even been able to run a load through it yet. Darn thing won't work right!!! :mad: The repair guys have been called. Again. Ugh.

Job offers for YaYas?! Yay!! Good luck!! The dinner prep places sound awesome! I hope it works out Suzanne. Same with the surgery. :woohoo: for Percocet though! :p

Stick vs. automatic. Hmmm. Yeah, I suppose both do have their advantages. There are times when having one less thing to do (shift/clutch, etc) is a good thing I guess. :)

LOL... thank you for the house help offer Paula! :hug: It's been a looooong few weeks that's for sure. The tile is almost done, thank goodness! Painting too. Now to get to the bottom of the dishwasher fiasco. :rolleyes:

How's Chris and hubby feeling Paula?

Hutch moving.... how'd it go Elaine? Mine is still in the living room, butted up against a window. Ack. Making me crazy. Hopefully today or tomorrow, we can move it.

Almost your turn to move the furniture from room to room Nancy? Sigh. That gets old quick. It doesn't take me long at all to get really tired of it. Glad to hear the necklace was a hit. It really was very pretty!!

Let us know what you think of Walk the Line, Sherry! I've heard great things about it.

Happy ironing Liz! How's the back treating you?

My IL's saw Failure to Launch and loved it! I can't remember the last time I went to a movie theather. :blush:

Tara, how are things with Jarrod? More testing in your future... sigh. :hug: 's to both of you. I do hope you arrive at some answers and solutions soon.

Well, off to paint and grout. ...and glare at my dishwasher....
