Welcome to Yaya Island

[lvs_eeyore]

Well my lovely printer, copier, scanner is refusing to print in black for some reason. We have tried everything. I will have to call them tomorrow when I get home and see if they can walk me through whats going wrong with it. I hate when things dont work. Now Im cranky.

Im also tired which isnt helping. I could use a nap but the kids are too wild for me to do that. Dh is going to make dinner so I cant have him trying to watch the kids too. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I sleeeeeeeeeeepy.

 

[helenabear]

Hi Ann!!! Good to see you! Enjoy watching the Super Bowl!!!

Karen, wish I could help you there with the printer. I hope you figure it out tomorrow Go take a nap, I think you deserve it

 

[jldriscoll]

I hope your Dad has a safe trip Elaine. Short trip it may be, but a neat adventure!

Poopy on the printer Karen!!! I hate when things don't work either!

Hi Jeannie! What else were you going to tell us?

Hi Ann

Kim, get off the bike and come play!

Ok, I NEED HELP!!!

Our Court of Awards is tomorrow. The girls wanted to use the letters in the word B-R-O-W-N-I-E to say something about what it means to be a girl scout. Great idea! But they ALSO decided the leader should decide what to say

Alright my verbally creative friends! I lack in this area! All I have so far is....

B- Being part fo a great troop
R-
O-
W-
N-New experiences and adventures
I-
E- Exploring the world around us.

HELP me fill in the blanks PLEASE!!!!

BTW, the Minnie's my girls are holding in the pic are the ones Auntie Jodie sent them. I still have to get the things Nancy sent out of the bags and take a pic of those too.......

[lvs_eeyore]

Jennifer you could use respect in some way for R. opportunity for O, Involved for I. Im just not sure how you could word it not being a girl scout or a leader.

Hi, gang! Remember me? Finally home, read thru all your mothiness and can relax for the rest of the evening.

Karen, congrats on the new computer equipt. but it won't print black for you. I trust you've checked the properties settings on both the Control Panel and in the program you are trying to print from? Great deal on the clothes too! Dontcha love it when you can get so much out of just a few pieces!

Bonnie!! I saw your pic and love your curls! Congrats on joining the Bracelet Brats and I'm so thankful you made it home safely in the snow.

Sherry, have a great time at the ILs! I'll be tuning in to the commercials and halftime show, too!!

Marilyn, I agree, that Hidden Valley fat-free dressing made with sour cream is the excellent. It has become my favorite, actually. I love to pack dipping veggies and a little container of the dressing to use for dip for my lunch at work.

Carol!!! It's so good to see you here on the island again! Can't wait to meet you and Roland in Dec. I don't think we will have a problem finding things to chat about, either!!!

Elaine, love the pix you posted of the Columbus meet. Finally got to see Luis and Bonnie too! Tsk-Tsk, how hard did you have to twist Bonnie's arm to convince her to buy that bracelet?!! LOL!!! And congrats on finding your OSU charm!!

Kim, are you able to buy shoes/boots without trying them on? I have found all kinds of great shoes and boots at www.onlineshoes.com and they are having a pretty good sale right now.

Hi, Jeannie!! Have you finished ketchuping yet??!! It's so good to have you back. You have such a great sense of humor and I love reading your posts!

Jennifer, you have a couple of beautiful young ladies there! I can hear them giggling as you are taking that picture!! For your CofA tomorrow and the B-R-O-W-N-I-E thing---R could be relating to something or radiating or ready or respectful or reverent. O could be open to something or on or observing/observant or maybe outgoing. W could be welcoming or winning or working towards something. I could be investigating or inquisitive or inviting or maybe something about ideas or imagination. Probably want to avoid Ridiculous and Overbearing and Whiney and Imbecile.......LOL!!!!! Just trying to help!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Beth you are gooooooooooood!!! It took me ten minutes to figure out the ones I posted. Im ROFL at the last few though. Tooo funny.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program for this thing twice. Messed with all the settings and nothing will make it print black. It did it when we first set it up because dh scanned the cover of the newest Disney Catalog to test it. I cant figure out what happened after that. I have GOT to print out the email for my pins that I won for Ryan because I have to send it with the money order tomorrow. I guess I will have to do it from work. UGH. I hate when things dont work.

Jennifer I forgot to tell you this but your girls are SOOOOOOO cute!!! Are they bouncing off the walls yet about the trip?

Welcome back Jeannie we missed you!!!!

 

[helenabear]

Oh wow Beth!!! You are good!!! And as to how I got Bonnie to get the bracelet... well that is my secret

So Bonnie, did you go back for more charms after dinner?

 

[LucyStorm]

I know this will sound like a dumb question, but I did this once. Karen, have you checked to make sure the cover tape is off the black ink cartridge? When mine wouldn't print black, that was the only thing wrong, and boy did I feel dumb!

OKAY!!!!! Now I am really MAD at Elaine!!! I am now the high bidder on Ebay for the yaya sister charm.... It's all Elaine's fault...if I wasn't such a nice friend, I wouldn't have been over at that kiosk looking at the darn charms. Now, a new addiction, ebay!

By the way, Elaine, that site was Southern charms.com, but it looks like they don't have the charm we want in stock. It is currently selling on ebay, but $50 or more. I draw the line, no really, I do! I swear I will not pay $50 for a charm!

Thanks, Beth. Every once in a while I get tired of my straight as a stick hair and go for the curls. Much easier to care for! Elaine was a sneaty yaya as you can probably tell from the look I was giving her in the picture taken at the mall. That was my best "you'd better not take my picture" look, but she didn't pay any attention to me...DIS Angel....HAH!!!!

j/k Elaine, you're still one of my favorite baby yayas!

Yes, Elaine, I now have a dolphin to remind me of home to go with my other two.....

 

[helenabear]

j/k Elaine, you're still one of my favorite baby yayas![/B]

I thought I was one of the ONLY baby YaYas

[jldriscoll]

Hi Laura! You sneat in on me

Not sure I'll have actual pics to share that quick. Being digital and all.....might bring the 'puter though.

I have all the activities for the plane and this an that packed. Clothes get packed later this week.

Girls are geeked!!!

 

[helenabear]

Nice reply there Bonnie

Jennifer, I started NOTHING!!! I place all blame on Kimmie

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Jennifer it sounds wonderful. Good job!!!

Bonnie I just saw the meet pictures. What a pretty lady you are!!! Its so neat to put a face with a yaya sister!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

LOL!!!!! Bonnie and Jennifer!! I'm the high bidder on a Winnie the Pooh charm that I haven't seen before!! And this morning, I won a celestial crescent moon/3 stars on a dark blue background. Why oh why did those girls tell us about eBay??!!!!!

Jennifer--the Brownie thing sounds GREAT!!! I especially like the "With friends..." line. Sounds like a Ya Ya motto!!!! Good luck keeping the girls feet on the floor this next week LOL!!!

Hi, Laura! Has your DH made a decision on the job offer or does he still have more interviews scheduled? and let's not discuss the laundry, dishes, dusting, vacuuming, etc. that need to be done while we sit here dissing......

Karen, sorry the *#!!^%*>@ printer still isn't working properly. I know how frustrating that is. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ pixie dust and calming vibes being sent!

 

[Kama89]

Uh oh Elaine.... Methinks we've created YaYa bracelet monsters!

Sooooo.... whatchya'll doing tonight? Mom just left a little while ago... didn't say much of anything about my hair....I think I rendered her speechless. Guess there's always a first time for everything.

Jodie got her Goofy! Isn't he just the cutest little Tag Fairy you've ever seen!?!?! ...and as for having a visitor this summer....YOU BETCHA! Actually there's some lovely places up near those mountains that would make lovely YaYa meeting spots!

Beth, Thank you! I'll definitely look at that website. I have doubts about buying online because the size of shoe I buy can vary so much... I can wear anywhere from a 5 to a 7. Buuuut....it looks like a fun place to look around!

Hi Ann!! Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you too!! We have the game on downstairs, but so far all I've managed to catch was Celine Dion singing right before the game.

Uh oh.... YaYa Jeannie caught me... Yes...I'm supposed to be resting my checkbook. But it's soooo hard sometimes. Actually, I'm not the much of a shopper, but I go on binges now and then. Oh and ummm... as far as catching men on skates...yes...must have good camera, good zoom, good film...annnnd maybe a net stretched across the finish line to catch'em in!!! Now all I need is a good way to reel him in once I get him caught in the net!!!

 

[helenabear]

Kimmie I had nothing to do with creating monsters here *Elaine says as she throws her hands up in the air*

Jennifer, I forgot to say, that does sound great!!!

Beth, that is exaclty why I am thrilled to know that I lost my username for E-bay! I don't want to have to deal with that place. It is totally evil!!!

I am trying to watch the Super Bowl but I just can't get into it this year... who knows why.

 

[jldriscoll]

Hey Kim!! Yes....monsters is the word!! Hope we don't all start bidding against each other

Cool discon box Kim! Jodie is one lucky gal! Hey do we get pics? And I'm still waiting on a hair pic of you kim!!!
