Who here is not in the "clique" like me? Part 2

[pozey]

I think Chase and Courtney look alike. Am I right Pozey or is it just me?

Yeah, most people say they look the most alike.

 

[pozey]

Okay......here's a RARE photo of myself.

It is a picture of myself with one of my older brothers and my mother. I probably am around 2 to 3 in this picture.

So......from this picture.......does Colton, Chase, or Courtney look like me?

YM- I agree that Christmas is my favorite, but I also agree that by the time it's over I practically fall over from exhaustion.

Anyway-- Gotta feed the kiddo and bundle him up to go to school. It's bad enough that he has a hurt foot he's walking on, but now he'll have to try and walk with all the winter gear on too. Actually, it is kinda' funny to watch him waddle around with all the stuff on Poor kiddo!

Have a good day and stay warm!

keagansmom...it was you that sent this weather to us.
Hey when you were talking about bundling him up I started thinking about the brother on A Christmas Story. Anyone remember that scene? The one where the mom gets him bundled and his arms won't go down? Then I think he falls in the snow and can't get up. Hope you little guy makes it ok...no falling down with the boot on the boken foot.

DnzyFan...girl you are brave. I'm soooooo sooooo thankful our power is still on. Ok...this guy on fox is saying like 10-15" and there is a blizzard warning in some of the nothern counties of Oklahoma...never heard of that in Oklahoma. Looks like I will be home tomorrow too. Be careful going home. I don't see Pozey on today so my guess is he's home too.

Geezz...you guys aren't going to believe this but my kid went out to play and I could not find them. I was freaking out....they had wandered down our green belt area and found a little hill to slide on. They are in now...it's just too cold and windy...wind chills are in the single digits. My nephew took his boot off because his foot was cold and walked home screaming....arrghhh. I ended spending aobut 20 minutes finding them and walking them home and I was frozen. Ok...enough of that.

I'll catch you guys in a bit.

 

[DznyFan]

2X - still have power! It's not a real bad "ice" - lots and lots of sleet, but it's not sticking to the trees as ice too badly. I assume I still have power at home. Sorry you too, have to go in to work in this mess! Looked at the radar, and it looks like you're getting ice now, too.

Pozey - you do look like Courtney! (and Chase) Or.... is it.... Courtney looks like you?

I just wish it would start snowing. We have a lovely layer of white all over - it's all sleet and ice pellets.

Scary about your kids!!!

I heard something about the blizzard warnings - my boss was just saying something about them - I need to go check it out! First time I've heard that in 20+ years here.

Wow...Pozey I'm not very good about knowing who the kids look like but chase looks a like your brother....and see a lot of little Courtney in you.
Are you home today?

 

[lyzziesmom]

pozey - I can see where Courtney gets her beautiful smile!! Actually, I think Chase looks like your brother. Neither of my girls look anything like me. Lyzzie is the spitting image of her father, and Emma looks very much like my brother did, but her dimples come from her father's brother. Odd, isn't it? Although the poor girl inherited her mother's hair - does something different every day and has a mind of its own.

YM - looks like great minds think alike! Your nephew's thinking doesn't make sense to me, "My foot is cold, so I will take my boot off and walk in the snow?" Kids.

DznyFan - be careful what you wish for! The snow is supposed to start here any minute now. I ventured out during lunchtime - had to go to the pharmacy & the bank - and it actually wasn't too bad.

Last night, my girls had an unplanned sleepover at my mom's house due to the weather. I completely forgot, but Lyzzie didn't have her blankie that she has slept with every night since my grandma made it for her at three months old. (Lyzzie was 3 month, obviously not grandma.) My mom said Lyzzie was a little upset, but she found some teddy bears and slept without her blankie for the first time! I'm so proud of her. I took my blankie to college with me.

lyzziesmom...exactly....your foot is cold so you take your boot off and walk in the snow? Last year he feel into the creek because he wanted to walk on the ice...it's only a foot or two deep depending on the rain(thank goodness). My kids were out before I even had my teeth brushed this morning...that is out in their hoodies and sweat pants.... How far can these little eyes roll back in the smile I have bibs, turtlenecks, boots, hats, gloves for this kind of weather and my kid is wearing a hoodie....well here I go again.

Glad Lyzzie made it without her blankie. My DS (9) likes his although he doesn't take it to sleepovers (unless it's to Grandma's house). It's his second one she has made. I was kind of whishing mine had been snowed in a Grandma's when I read you post.

My oldest DS looks like me and my youngest looks like my Dh. I don't have a scanner...I would love to scan some baby pics and let you all see. It's so much fun matching up looks!

Are your girls out of school today?

 

[pozey]

Wow...Pozey I'm not very good about knowing who the kids look like but chase looks a like your brother....and see a lot of little Courtney in you.

I'm not good at telling who children look like either. And there are some people who say Courtney looks like whoever is with her a the time - me or DW.

Are you home today?

Yes, I am home. Long story.....went in as usual this morning.......although I knew that the boys wouldn't be going to school. So, I drop Courts off, and then head to the Boys & Girls Club to drop the boys off.......And they're CLOSED!! They've never closed before.

Well, I tell the boys I guess they are going to work with me. So up to work we all go. But they are bored by 10:00 a.m., so I tell my boss I am going home. And we've been home since about 11.

Not sure what we're going to do tomorrow. I'm sure all the schools will still be closed tomorrow.

 

[pozey]

I just wish it would start snowing. We have a lovely layer of white all over - it's all sleet and ice pellets.

I'm with you. I'm tired of just the sleet and ice. Where's the snow? The local TV people have been telling us about this "8 to 12 inches of snow" coming for 3 days now. I haven't seen a snowflake yet.

Dznyfan...I just said these exact words to my mom....it's still ALL sleet/freezing rain here in Owasso. I haven't seen a snow flake yet.

 

[pozey]

My mom said Lyzzie was a little upset, but she found some teddy bears and slept without her blankie for the first time! I'm so proud of her.

Yay Lyzzie!!

I took my blankie to college with me.

I saw that......

 

[lyzziesmom]

YM - Yes, the schools are closed here. Lyzzie is working on her school project with my mom, a heritage project on the country of Norway. It's her first presentation and they have to provide visual aids, which the teacher said could be pictures, money, etc. including PowerPoint presentations. The kids are in 2nd grade!! PowerPoint??? Sheesh, whatever happened to the parents letting kids do their OWN homework? Lyzzie is going to use a bunch of pictures and a pressed penny from Norway at Epcot, it should be fun for her. What's up with your ticker? Or is it mine that's off? I noticed we are showing different countdowns. I like yours better!!

 

[YourMajesty]

2xcited and lyzziesmom....we all made the same comment about the movie A Christmas story....


I guess I should read a little before I start blabbering....

lyzziesmom...I noticed the tickers too. Here's the verdict. Yours and Donna's say the same thing and mine is in sync with 2xcited....I'm not sure who's it right...I'm too lazy to check it out.

Ok...that's nutty to use powerpoint in 2nd grade? I think lyzzies visuals sound like a winner.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Pozey- Courtney looks like you and Chase looks like both you and your brother to me.

2X- My carpet and mat got cleaned yesterday and are good as new! In fact when you mentioned that I ran and got my mat that I had left here yesterday so I wouldn't forget it again!

Everyone says I look like my mom and my sister looks like my dad. Maybe I'll have to post a pic of us all from LV tonight.

 

[DznyFan]

Lyzziesmom - sounds like at least Lyzzie has something to do to keep her occupied today. I like the idea of the pics and penny from Epcot! I've got to admit, I'm a little surprised about a Power Point presentation in 2nd grade, too!

Nicole - good news about your car mat!

I'm going home in about 20 minutes - yay!! check in with ya'll later.

[YourMajesty]

I knew my time was running out. The boys were at my sisters house (around the corner). They are ready to go out again....I almost have their stuff dry. I did have time to pop myself some kettle corn (Donna...isn't the boys scout's kettle corn yummy?).....and open a coke.

 

[ForTheLoveofDisney]

Hi Cliquers. . .

I'm off to get caught up BRB!

Nicole:: Way to go on 2,000 posts!! You've passed me!

Lin:: Happy Anniversary!!

YM:: I hope Sophie is back to her old self real soon.

Winter has arrived! When I left for lunch, it was cold. When I came out of the store, it was raining freezing rain, and the rear window of my car was totally iced over. Good thing I brought my gloves today!

My attorney just called me... she is working on getting me a new, revised copy of Emma's birth certificate and it should be here before the end of the year!! We were not sure if we could do this (no precedent) so I'm very excited!! While I was on my cell phone with her, the work phone rang and I don't know what happened, but it was beeping at me for several minutes and the more I tried to fix it, the more it beeped at me! Once I finally got that fixed (I still have no clue what stopped it) I was just about to take a big bite of a swiss cake roll, and of course I look up and a very handsome visitor is standing there watching me stuff my face with chocolate. Ugh, I swear sometimes I feel like a walking sitcom. They offered me a headset for my phone and I declined... I can just imagine myself walking away from the desk, still connected to the phone!!

I keep reading about all the ice, freezing rain and cold cold weather. I am happy to report that we are wonderfully warm at a comfortable 71 degrees! Gosh, I love the south!!!!! I am definately meant for this weather. The only place better I can think of is Florida.
Lyzziesmom:: This is great news about Emma's birth certificate! Very cool that you're setting a precedent too!!

lyzziesmom...that is awesome!!! Yay Emma!!

I still haven't heard from my atty. yet on a new court date

OH... I got a great call... apparently Kenny won't have a stepmom much longer I guess they found her truck keys in a room at the Holiday Inn. she just got a new car so guess she didn't need those truck keys to leave. She's having an affair w/another atty..and naturally he's married too I guess this is her FIFTH marriage. Lasted less than a year. I am just so glad she'll be out of the picture!!! the x called to ask if he had Kenny tomorrow night only or all weekend b/c he forgot...and boy oh boy...That was sure interesting!!!

Yay!!! Linda, this is great news!! FIFTH marriage???? Whoa, let's just ignore the BRIGHT RED FLAGS shall we? Well, hopefully this works out in your and Kenny's favor! You have a wonderful family and home.

Cliqueless Question of the Day:

What is your favorite holiday?

Why Christmas, of course. I even got married in December so that I could have a "Christmas wedding". I think it all started with my grandmother, God Rest Her Soul. She decorated her house until it literally looked like Christmas threw up! But boy was it great as a kid. It was so magical inside and out and I'd have to say that's what cultivated my love for all things Christmas.

BTW----why do all the little boys get the beautiful eyelashes??? Darling pic---Linda!!!

I ask the same thing! My DH has the longest "prettiest" (DON'T tell him I called his lashes pretty, I think he'd lash me with a wet noodle ) lashes. I have to curl mine and goop em up with mascara

Luca update---so far no more "episodes" since Monday, but he is being watched like a hawk.

Grandma update----still not eating and is getting very weak. Her infections are still improving. My mom seems to think they will have to put her in a nursing home----but that's just her opinion.

Glad to hear some good news about Luca. My grandmother had to go in the nursing home a time or two after being released from the hospital. Almost like extended care. It wasn't permanent. But, like one time she got pneumonia and was put in the hospital and then from there the nursing home for about a month to kind of rehabilitate. My grandmother did the same thing too with the not eating. It's frustrating especially when we were little she would force us to eat and then she wouldn't eat even when we told her she NEEDED to in order to get stronger and go home. I will continually pray for your Grandma.

I'm another cliqueless one! Might I join this clique???

I'm so jealous of everyone getting cold weather. I live in South Florida and it will be 85 degrees here today.

I've had a coat for 20 years and it looks brand new.

Welcome!!! Please feel free to jump right in! I love hot, sunny weather. We're at a just right 71 right now.

April - I guess you're one of the lucky ones, too.... want some snow?

No, I'm good, thanks. I was just saying to DH today, when White Christmas came on, "I'm so not dreaming of a white Christmas!"

Pozey, you were a beautiful child and little Courtney looks just like you! You have beautiful children. Thanks for sharing your pic. with us.

Well, we've decided to go with the Disney Dining Plan. Last night Steven and I took the time to sit down and go through our itinerary and then choose where we'd like to eat. Today, Steven called WDW-DINE to set up those ressies. I almost fell over because my DH has NEVER taken this much interest in planning our trips. I'm the one who is always laboring over the computer and guidebooks for the best plan of action. He's always just goes along for the ride. He never even called MS before this year to make a reservation. Maybe he's feeling bad over the penguin. I don't know but I sure do like it! We're eating at some places that we've always wanted to try but just never did. Most definately because of the price. However, with the DDP it would be worth it to us. Some of the places that we'll be trying for the first time: Marrakesh in Morroco, Ragland Road in Downtown Disney and the Hollywood Brown Derby in MGM. We are looking forward to trying these new places.

I don't think we're going to do MVMCP. We've done it 3 other times and I'm kind of torn over it. DH says he's not interested in doing another one this year. He also said Thursday is out of the question (which is one of the nights MVMCP is happening) because he has something planned for us. . . in Downtown Disney. Hhhhhmmmmm??? Could it be??? Might I even allow myself to get excited?? Do you think it might be. . . Cirque du Soleil???? I don't know what it is but I'm thinking that's what he wants to surprise me with I've always wanted to go to Cirque! So, that would leave me with a Friday MVMCP and then we have an early Segway Tour (7:45am) at Epcot on Saturday. So, I'm thinking MVMCP is out even though, I have enjoyed them in year's past. But it is Christmas, my most favorite time of the year, and I love the MVMCP festivities. Decisions, decisions. What do you all think? I'm open for suggestions.

Oh, and thanks for suggesting the DDP. I think it's going to work out nicely for us.
