[lvs_eeyore]

Sweetie I just want it to go to someone who will get some use from it. You dont have to make anything for me. I think I still have your addy from the hattie you sent me and I will get it out in the mail tomorrow.

 

[jldriscoll]

I am such a dork!!! Don't answer that what are you up to Karen....you already said! OCmes from playing on dis and in my email box at the same time!

Have fun at Target! One of my favorite stores!!! I'm not allowed to go in there unless there is an extra $100 in the account!

Morning Beth!!
I know I'll miss it someday......how far is someday from now?

 

[jldriscoll]

Thanks Karen! Make sure to include the cost and I'll get you off a check. I'll have to come up with something yaya'ish to make!!!

Hey Yaya's
I haven't been around for a few days. Too many hockey games, sleepovers and other things going on to keep Mom busy. No time for fun ...but I'm here now!!!!
How is everyone? and what fun things did I miss???

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Jennifer nope no check please. This is something I want to send to you. I know you will get some good use from it. It might only be three full skeins Im having trouble finding the one I started with on the afgan. I swear I think my house swallows things LOL.

Morning Ya Ya's.

Don't have time to do a full ketchup, but wanted to say hi.

FINALLY got my hair cut yesterday. I feel so much better now!! My hair was looking pretty bad.

Guess what I got yesterday? A new laptop!! DH is gonna get me all set up sometime today. I'll be wireless and can chat w/ y'all from the comfort of my nice warm bed! WOO HOO!!

Going to Carrabbas for dinner today for my belated b-day dinner. Wanted to wait until Julian was able to eat. I absolutely LOVE Carrabbas!

Jodie, I did see where you are down 20 lbs. WTG, girl. That is great. My diet starts tomorrow....I am a TERRIBLE dieter. I might need you to keep me on track!

Got more snow here overnight and it is FREEZING. ACK! I hate winter.

 

[debster812]

Wow--heck of a party last night that the international Ya Ya's threw.

And....just to show off, how in the world did Michael Klim get in the bathtub????? (that is the bald man in the tub a few pages back that Nutsy posted).

It is a frigid 12 degrees today, and I would like nothing more than to stay in my PJs, and stay in. But we have a B-Day party for my nephew today. So........

Morning YaYa's.

Carol and Auriel! ROFLMBO. So it was you two who trashed the island last night, huh? There are little drink umbrellas all over the place, the kiddie is so full of toys I can't even get in there this morning! (Oh Alex dear, would you please build a slide for the kiddie pool for Auriel?)

Okay! More flyers to the meet! Which airport IS the closest to where we are staying? Leave Monday? O-kee-do-kee! Yes to renting a van/mini-van...just let me know my share and it will be there (ahhh, Bonnie and Jodie, watch out, my rhyming is just coming naturally)

Pam, get to work woman and then come out to play. I am off tomorrow, so I will be able to play a lot! DH has to work so I have the house to myself (awwwww, poor DH )

Jeannie! Up til 3:30!? Get some sleep little one!

Miss Kimmie, yes you are going to the meet. Good, that is settled.

Today we take Petite GD home, and we are having dinner at DS and DIL's house, so I don't have to cook!

Bonnie, I will check my e-mail. Thanks for trying again.

Well, off to get little one some juice.

Later!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Sherry congratulations on the laptop!!! Woooooo hoooooo. Wireless no less. Now you can DIS from anywhere!!!

Sherry doesnt it feel much better after youve had something done with your hair?? I finally got mine colored and trimmed on Friday and I feel much better. No more reverse skunk thing going anymore.

Jodie I forgot to say WTG on the weight loss!!! 20 pounds is incredible!!!! Im so proud of you!!!!

Jennifer Target and I are dangerous too. We were there yesterday and I saw a neat patriotic Mickey watch that I wanted soooooooooooo badly. I didn't buy it but Im not sure I will be that strong when we go back today LOL.

Morning Marilyn, Beth, and Laura!!!!

 

[Dream]

Do I live next door to TDS??? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! DH thinks that too!!!! Jennifer...not next door, but pretty darn close!!! Ahem...sorry for generating the early morning Mommy questions!! Hee hee!

Sherry...eating at Carrabas is gonna make "dieting" tough woman!! Just don't dredge that yummy bread in that oil!!! Think salad!!!! We have gift cert from both sets of scouts to Carrabas....I'm afraid to go!!! Have fun at your birthday dinner....then remember my pm to you!!

WHere the heck is Betty? Anybody know? She still hasn't checked in after her conference with the parent from h-e-doule hockey sticks has she?

Good morning Karen!!! Quick thinking with that life preserver for Pam!!!

Pam ...15 minutes until "deadline" then grab some coffee and come and play! Anybody remembr Pam's first "entrance" into the world of Ya Ya? (How could you forget it? LOL!!) Remember she swung in on a vine...very loudly...and descriptively??? HAHAHAHA...I remember thinking ...who the heck is THAT???? Now it just isn't the same without her is it?

Good morning Marilyn! I understand the closest airport is Columbus? I am starting to day to work on those details and to nail down a place now that all votes are in and we have a idea of "definate will be theres". I dont know how much money we will have to pay up front but I guess we will split original costs between those who are "sure" and as more people come on board we will work out the money. This will be a true challenge for me!!!! Managing money is NOT my strong point!!!! Guess that's why I married a finance guy? I will just put any deposits on my credit card and let ya'll know what ya owe...after I check it out with all parties first of course! Sound good?

Beth...great if your hubby would handle the rental vehicle! We will probably need a full size van to handle Ya Yas and their luggage...ya think? OOOOOO....can I decorate It???? Ohhhh the possibilities!!!!

 

[Pam]

Quick - I need intervention! Have only my column to write and the space on page 4 to stick it in is all that is left!!

Marilyn, prop me up in my computer chair; Bonnie and Jodie, monitor my vital signs; Nancy, some cookies would be great for my energy level; Shep and Jay, start the hula dance - why? - ummm....... motivation?! ; Sherry, another liter of Pepsi, please; Beth, proofread; Kim and Jennifer, do not distract me with your shiny bracelets, the sheen is bouncing off my monitor! ; and finally - Jeannie, give me back my water bra - my darn chest is hitting the keyboard and keeps striking the 7 key!!!!!!!

Almost there folks - and then I'm heading out to Church. See ya on the flip side!

Pam

 

[Dream]

Oops! Forgot to say good morning Debbie and Laura!! Hee hee...Debbie, glad Stitch kept bubble boy company during his hair cut yesterday! That is just too sweet!

Thanks for the 20 pounds down congrats ya'll....but actually...it's now 21...and a half!!!!

 

[Pam]

Oohhhhhhhh Happy Day!!! I am done!! OK - I'm 25 minutes past deadline - but I'm done!!!!

Mission accomplished. Now I have to shower and get to Church by 11:00 am!

Later,
Pam

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning everyone.......

Yippee!! Pam's done!!
Pull up a beach chair, grab a fruity umbrella-ed drink and a beach man and RELAX!!

 

[Kama89]

Holy cow!! Those Aussies and Brits sure know how to party! Man, this place is a mess!! *Kim gingerly steps between various piles of little broken drink umbrellas, emptied glasses and.... ewwww!!!! What's this.... never mind.... don't tell me...I don't want to know.

but only problem is she says she's tucked up with one or two of the Cabana boys

One or TWO?! No no no no.... I didn't say two. Ya'll tried to party with MY guy (singular, uno, as in not plural... he's all I need ) last night. I just let you know that that wouldn't be possible because he was tucked in with me where he belonged....in our little cave, behind the waterfall... lovely little place...ya'll stay away from there, it's our spot!

Woah! Nutsy's posting nekkid guy pictures!! Debbie seems to know who he is. Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here...knowing Auriel's... uh... history of taste in cabin dudes, I'm going to guess that this guy is a swimmer? Oh wait! IS that your guy? I forgot what his name was...I mean the one you told me about a long time ago.

Pam is back!!! Woo hoooo!!! Jodie, who could forget Pam's entrance into YaYa'dom! She skeered me...

Marilyn,
YaYa meet...me going... Yes maam. Hopefully.

Hi Laura! Glad to have you back!!

Gotta go to town today and look for boots to go with the coat that I bought yesterday. Oh...and something warm that also happens to be black. MUST be color coordinated for...well...for any cold weater we might have here on the island. Mmmm hmmm... Not sure if it'll be a long sweater or another jacket. I really wanted a black leather coat, but fell in love with the dumb tan suede one instead.

 

[debster812]

Yep, he's a swimmer. Michael Klim. His heyday was the Sydney games.

I have started the laundry marathon in preparation for our trip. My dillemma is that it could be 70 or it could be 40, does not make for easy packing. At least for the first week, we will have a washer and dryer. Even though doing laundry on vacation is not my idea of a ball, but we will not have to pack everything we own either!!!

 

[jldriscoll]

I'm wondering too Debbie!! The girls are going to go through their shorts and t shirts today, but I'm wondering if there is any point. Of course....coming from 10 degree weather.....we might feel good in shorts and 45 degrees!

Hi ya Kim! They did make a mess didn't they!!!!

Yeah!! Pam did it!!! Good going girl!!!

 

[debster812]

Jennifer,

Yahoo weather extended forcast is calling for highs in the 60s through Tuesday the 28th. Lows down to the 30-40, so the nights will be chilly. But...I will wear shorts in the 50-60s, especially since we will be walking. I am fine if I have shorts on, as long as I have a sweatshirt on too.

I had Bubble Boy try on shorts, sandals, and tshirts last night. 6prs of shorts, 6 tshirts, 3 long sleeve tshirts, 2 sweatshirts. If he 'needs' more shirts, we can buy. Can't pack the jeans/socks/underwear til Friday night, after the last load of regular laundry is done from the school week.

DH is next, and then my stuff. ACK!!!! This is tough.

 

[dizneenut]

Just wanted to try out my new laptop!!
Still have to get my mail, etc. done, but I'm online! WOO HOO!!
Geesh, its gonna take me awhile to get used to this keyboard and mouse!
Gonna head to the stores in a bit, just wanted to say HEY!

 

[debster812]

Congrats on the new laptop.

I am lobbying work for one!!!! Does it have the little eraser head mouse thingy in the middle of the keyboard. The ones I have borrowed from work had those, and I HATE them.
