Or in the bathroom.

My cats follow me in. It's like really? No privacy here? It's not like they can sit in my LAP in there.

my dogs try to follow me in, but it's a little disconcerting to have 2 sets of beady little eyes staring at you the entire time....performance anxiety?

Maybe they're trying to figure out the litter box/ toilet connection, and are just having a hard time...

Hardly. It's more like WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY WATER BOWL?

Even more disconcerting when they try to jump in my lap....

 

[All7OfUs]

I was going to say something to that effect, but thought, naw, not Cynthia's cats.

I guess they are all the same, having a hankering for that "aromatic" French water....

I'm alive! things are really crazy here with the remodeling. My house is a total disaster and it's driving me nuts.

I told everyone this year thanksgiving will be at McDonald's, because half of my kitchen is tore up and the other half has stuff stacked on it. Today I'm hiding in my room for awhile so I can pretend everything is clean and calm.

The only thing keeping me sane is thinking about our trip!

I had one table that held a loaf of bread, my microwave, toaster, cereal boxes, and paper plates, cups & utensils. We ate take out.....A LOT!

Kinda figured that's what was going on.

the trip will be here soon enough.

YES IT WILL!! EYE ON THE PRIZE CHERIE!! Or in your case, 2 PRIZES!! A trip AND a new kitchen. Not bad.

Another lurker coming out of lurkdom. Lurketude? Lurktation? Whatever.

I've read your previous TRs and laughed hysterically. Not at the amount of pain you had to endure, of course, but the fun your family had. They remind me a lot of my family and the craziness that ensues when everyone gets together, especially for a Disney World trip.

Anyways, I was excited when I saw tonight that you were planning another trip, and looking forward to reading about it. Then saw you'll be down there the same times my friends and I will (except we're leaving on the 9th). So exciting!! 70 days and counting!! Then I noticed that there is like a whole group of you meeting, most of whom I've read TRs from. So I guess what I'm really saying is that I would like to warn you and apologize now if some crazy red head starts screaming and running towards any of you wanting autographs. I really am a nice person, just slightly insane all of the time.

So, what are your dates? Do you have a PTR too?? There seem to be a lot of people going this February!

 

[wsdl1085]

I'm glad you came out of Lurketude...that's my favorite..!
You should join us for one of the dis meets! My brain is to frazzled from the pounding and nailguns right now, to tell you exactly when it is. Our contractors like to get an EARLY start.

We may just try. That is if I don't tell them what we're doing. They have already given me full power to plan as I wanted. Bad move on their part!

!

sounds like my set-up. we're about to only having the beds to sit on because everything else is slowly being covered up.
I had to stay in my room most of the day because it drives me crazy to look at the mess and not be able to do anything about it.

yeah, family does get a little worried when you announce you're going to meet people from the internet.

 

[winkers]

How long is it healthy to be hidding in your room to avoid looking at a mess you can't do anything about?

At this point, I'm afraid it's going to end with me on the Oprah show in the middle of an intervention.

They'll find me either in a cornor twitching or hugging my new fridge, which is the only organized space in this house right now.

What's scary, is it's going to get worse. It'll be all sorts of crazy when they take out the staircase and flip it, so it's going the other direction.

Luckily, none of my family are huge lovers of turkey...so they're all ok with no big dinner tomorrow. Ok, so I bribbed them with junk food, but they're all happy and I just might be able to retain what little bit of my sanity is left.

I have a too do list a mile long, but when there's clutter around me I don't work well.

hmmm, maybe I need the Oprah intervention after all.

I couldn't do it. The control freak in me would break down and they'd have to lock me up. Jeff and I really should have remodeled my house when we got married. But the prospect of doing so with 2 full time jobs and 4 kids was just more than we could take. Building is a whole lot easier if you aren't living in the house yet!

You are a stronger woman than I!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh wow!!! flipping the staircase????? Yeah, you're in it pretty deep!!

I hope you can get that intervention in before she goes off the air.

not stronger....stupider.

that was d.jay's great idea...it should be interesting.

If the remodel goes on that long, I'll need a padded cell.

 

[wsdl1085]

So, what are your dates? Do you have a PTR too?? There seem to be a lot of people going this February!

My friends and I arrive the evening of Feb 3rd and leaving the evening of 9th. I started a PTR like 4 months ago, and it got abandoned. Waaaaaayyyyyyyy too early to keep my attention. May pick it back up, but probably won't have much time for it with my work schedule. There do seem to be more and more people going this Feb... Hopefully that doesn't mean crazy crowds at the parks.

In my effort to maintain sanity, I decided to go shopping.

Note to self....avoid walmart the day before thanksgiving.

I made a stop at the dollar store, one of my favorite places to shop. While I was in there I made the mistake of reaching for something, and SNAP...by bra strap broke.

Of course, I had on a t-shirt and no coat or jacket. I had a basket full of goodies that I didn't want to part with, so I quickly headed for the checkout. With every step, I could feel gravity taking hold and making me look a little lop-sidded.

I was able to make it to my car before my compass' were pointing in completly different directions. I looked around and then quickly tried to adjust things.

I was never "indecent" but there was a little scooping and swooshing going on. I got things back to normal and then reached to turn on the ignition.

As my eyes moved to the rear view mirror they were stopped by a slight movement from the car across from me.

There with a look close to this.... was a teenage boy sitting and looking at me in horror.


..........I knew that would make you all laugh.

 

[jordanyosh]

Oh to hear his side of the story....

 

[Poolrat]

Wiping.
Tears.
from.
eyes.


breathe.

repeat.

Just when thought all your troubles were at home. They follow you out!!!

Oh that is TOO FUNNY!!! And it sounds like something that would happen to me. I can never be slick. It seems like I always get caught!

 

[reelmom]

If my bra strap broke, I would have had more "goodies" in the basket. Gravity is not my friend.
