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

[hellokitty86]

Hi everyone!!

I'm back from my haircut. I really like it! I went to this place called Bubbles Salon (????) but it was very nice and the woman who cut my hair was very good! I got about 3 inches cut off. I was happy because she listened to me and gave me input, and didn't do things I told her not to! I will definitely be going back to her. She is 8 months pregnant though and has a 1 year old son, so she'll be going on maternity leave soon! But considering its been since December since I got my last haircut, she'll probably be there when I go back.

I'll post a picture! My mom wants to see my hair too so I'll be taking one tonight or tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a fun day today!! 6 more days!!

Donna----Thanks for letting us know you made it home from Six Flags safely. I hate to think your mom takes second fiddle to us, though.
Get some sleep, girl. All that coastering and screaming would have worn me out too. (wait--I take that back because I don't do them ) Hope DH is feeling better!!


YM---Yeah, I caught ya trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Camping---right.

I did feel a little guitly when I starting eating a Milky Way bar while all those fit people were laboring away...but all that clapping wore me out.

OMG-----I about choked on my dry puffed rice!!!! (I know, sounds oh so appetizing, doesn't it??) I have this vision of you slyly trying to open your Milky Way wrapper and all the runners fumbling over each other because they can hear chocolate.

Yay for DH!!!!!!!!


MImom--I'm sorry you are still feeling icky and had to postpone your anniversary dinner. I'm sure you'll be feeling up to it by next weekend.
Oh my--- that had to be painful for that player!! I cannot imagine either!! I must agree with you about Matt playing but he would not have been very happy not playing, right??
Feel better!!


DznyFan---Thanks, I try to be as positive as I can. You guys always make me laugh and take my mind off of things. That and I have a wonderful family and some great friends!!
Sounds like you have a good lead on the house. Have you made a decision yet, or will you still continue your search??
Ouch, I can sympathize with Erin on her shoe woes. We too are expected to wear "fashionable" shoes and I tell you, my dogs are barking by the end of some days!! Tell her she may have to purchase a size bigger because when she stands on her feet all day her feet may swell. to her!!



Okay, the menu is set for the B-day dinner. Here it is: Parmesan Crusted Chicken and Arugula with lemon vinagerette (Ina's recipe), roasted carrots, lemon broccoli (Giada's recipe), Orzo with tomato and spinach (Pin-cess' recipe) (yes, I will use frozen spinach--- ), Italian bread (of course), chocolate molten cakes with vanilla gelato.

YUM YUM---but by the time I finish cooking I'm not sure I'll be hungry for it. My sister already hinted in a lovingly manner that she's not sure how much she'll be able to help since my 8 mo. old nephew is going through his "mommy" stage. Great. It will be fine though---she is doing a lot of the prep work.

Funny story about the Italian bread. My BIL and niece (almost 8) went to the Italian market this afternoon to get the bread and my sister said he comes home with two loaves that look more like French bread---still Italian but not our "traditional". He asks her if this is right and she tells him "no". Then he proceeds to tell her that my niece tried to tell him, "daddy, that's not the right kind" but he refused to listen to her. I bet he'll listen from now on--the girl knows what she's talking about.


Oh, and I forgot to mention that I finally called GF bakery and ordered the Cindy slipper and dog bones for our tea. I am a bit nervous, though because I was transferred three times before anyone remotely knew what I was talking about. She wasn't the nicest person though, I hate to say, so I hope she got it correct. I am trusting.

Hey Ash--

I was just going to write a post and just say "HAIR??" but then I saw you posted. I am so glad you like your cut. It is hard to find someone you like. We can't wait to see it!!

6 and a'countin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hellokitty86]

2xcited, I really do like it! I'm glad I found a woman that listened to me! I will take a picture tomorrow and post, oh wait, should I wait until I go and get my eyebrows waxed??

Found some more sad news about our February trip:

Splash Mountain and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh have been added
to the current list of attractions going down for refurbishment this winter.
They join Rock 'n' Roller Coaster as rides to be closed beginning Jan 2007.
Splash Mountain will be dark Jan 2-27. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
rehab dates are Jan 28 - Feb 11. Rock 'n' Roller coaster is scheduled to be
renovated Jan 7 through Feb 10. Remember, all schedules are subject to change,
so check back often.

Well, you'll be happy 2xcited, nobody can force you to go on Splash now!!

Sad about Winnie the Pooh though!

ETA: Wait, sorry to disappoint you 2xcited, Splash will be open!! I never read things all the way through!

At first I was honestly disappointed because Splash would be one that maybe, just maybe I would be willing to go on. Then, when I read it and then read your ETA I got scared again!!
Like I said, I'd be willing to try things again---it has just been a long time since I've been on any thrill rides.


I was just over on the restaurant board and saw your post on the fried snickers. Man alive---did you see that picture?? I must have just one bite!!! Okay, maybe two.

 

[hellokitty86]

I know! It looks really good. I wonder if it is a snack credit on the DP?

Sorry Ash--I got sidetracked again on the strategies board.
I'm not sure about the snack credit--I thought I saw a list somewhere--I'll try to do some research and see what I can find.

I didn't realize how late it was---can't be too much of a hooty tonight. I have a morning of running around and an afternoon of cooking.

Hopefully talk to you tomorrow night maybe.

Sleep well!!
And dream of Disney---cuz next week this time!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[2xcited2slp]

Ash,
I just found this--

http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1109080&page=1&pp=15


it is a list that people have been bringing back from their experiences.

They also say generally anything under $4 but possibly this venue that serves the snickers are not a part of the DDP??

I didn't get to read through the whole thread but maybe it will help.

2 sticks of butter

---this was on the list.
I usually don't double fist my butter when I'm snacking on it. Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm so mean.


G'night again.

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Good Morning!

Donna- Thanks for the blueberry muffin!

Michelle- I hope you are felling better!

YM- I'm happy your DH did great in his first marathon!

2X2S- That menu sounds good! Have fun!

Ashley- 5 more days! Are you all packed yet? Are you ready for WDW?


HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYZZIE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2X2S's MOM!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell ya'll how the imitation F&WF went! It was okay. It was packed though. I did like a few wines there that I will have to get.I was there last year and it wasn't as packed and much more enjoyable. Has anyone here been to the F&WF? I am getting worried about how the crowds will be there!

10 more days!

 

[hellokitty86]

Hey everyone

Nicole, I am not even near packed yet. I haven't even started! I have everything all ready though, the only thing left is for Jeremiah to get a haircut, do some laundry and get a pedicure! I've been there during the Food & Wine Festival, actually I was there last year and the year before that! I am sad I am missing it. It is crowded in Epcot, but nothing too bad, IMO. I'm actually leaving the day it starts.

Happy Birthday Lyzzie and 2xcited's mommy!!

Donna, thanks for the muffins. Yum! You alway make the perfect breakfast choices!!

 

[2xcited2slp]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS LYZZIE

Just for you, the most appropriate birthday cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Have a fun day!!!

 

[MI mom of 3]

I'm back!! At least I'm back to feeling like myself.

Jill...I'm sorry you are quitting your job but if it making you miserable and affecting other areas of your life then you are better off without it. Isn't it awful when you can't get someone to understand how their behavior affects others. They just don't see it.

Linda...I had never heard of a corn burner before. It sounds interesting. Is it a free-standing unit in your house like a furnace? I can't picture it.

Donna...I'm glad you enjoyed Six Flags. I love roller coasters!

Lyzziesmom...I'm sorry about the loss of your Grandmother. I'm glad you were able to work it so you can take the time off work.
I'm glad you were able to get your internet hooked up. I hate not being connected.
Lyzzie!!!

Ashley...5 days!! I'm soo jealous!!! I used to wait a long time between haircuts, like sometimes a full year!! Can't do that anymore, I have it cut at the same time she colors it. Getting old stinks!!

2x2... to your Mom!! Don't you love it when people buy themselves gifts Blake's family is notorious for that.

DznyFan... for the CP!!!!! We will all have to come down and cheer Erin on!!
Glad that the house hunting is going well. Good Luck.
I know how Erin's feet were feeling! My feet have been killing me at work. I wear my Teva flip flops all summer and I am having a hard time wearing shoes again. I actually bought myself 3 new pairs this week trying to find some good ones for work. One of them was Crocs!! I bought a pair of Caymans last spring but I goofed and bought a size too small. I gave those to Bree and finally bought myself a new pair of Beach in the beige color.

I'm so glad Splash will be open when we go When I read that I was so disappointed until I re-read it!! I will miss Pooh tho

Our house got TP'd again last night!!! Matt has only been in HS for 2 weeks! This better not go on too long. I think I know which kid is doing it but I can't prove it. It's a mom and 3 boys and she doesn't watch them at all. They used to live here until she got divorced and had to sell the house. She moved to a trailer park about 10 miles away. She is soo bad at watching them that she actually got KICKED OUT of the trailer park. She is renting a hosue now on the next block and I swear since they moved back all kinds of things are happening. According to Matt on the first day of school she wouldn't get up and drive the boys to school so the oldest boy, who just turned 14, took her car and drove to school. I feel badly for the boys but I also don't want them around

It is supposed to be a nice day here, upper 70's, so we need to do something fun. I don't know what yet.

Have a great day!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYZZIE AND 2X'S MOM

Michele - I am gald you are back to yourself being sick is the worst! That is a sad story about those boys relly not having anyone but I agree I wouldnt want them around your kids either. Its a shame how some parents are it really does effect the whole ommunity but ecspecially the cildren in particualr.

Dznyfan - It is always a shock to the feet when you have to wear those cute shoes for looong periods of time. How does Erin like the job?

Donna - I sounds like you had fun. Hopefully DH is feeling better.

2x - The menu sounds so extravagent(sp?) I am sure everything will turn out great. Save some molten cake for me!!! I dont thnk i woul dbe the right one to call you in the morning bc I am always rushing out the door. I usually am up though I just never want to get out of bed so maybe that would give me the motivation. Right now I just think "I have to to have breakfast with the cliqueless"

Nicole - I have never been to f&wf but I would imagine that the weekends would be a little more crowded bc alot of Floridians go just for the weekend. I am very jealous you get to go during this time of year. Our next long trip we make (which wont be until after school) we want to go for F&WF.

Ash - for some reason I got the very old song "Im so excited and I just cant hide it Im about to lose control and I think I like it"

Well the bbq was great yesterday! It did rain a little but no terrential down pours.

My job I have now is a lawyers asst/paralegal. I took the job mainly for the money, the close proximity to where I live, and my boss is a nice guy (just a horrible boss) He goes through a lot of employees from what I hear around the office bldg. I am going to contact some hospitals about some lerical type jobs. My big concern is that I hear they dont pay very well but the schedules can be very very flexible and I can get tuition reimbursment. So those are some of the first options I am going to look into.

Today I am just working on my presentation. It is due tuesday (for the past mongth we have had 1 a week and I will be glad not to put these together anymore) On thursday I ave my final test and a separate final exam (lucky me ) So I may not be on alot the next few days I will try to lurrk on just to see what everyone is up to.

Have a great day everyone

Hi everybody!!

Mi mom of 3::Glad to hear you are feeling better. Sometimes our bodies just need rest to make us better!!!
Rather sad to hear about the neighbor boys. I realize it has to be tough raising 3 boys by yourself, but sounds like she doesn't give a darn. I hope they aren't going to be too much of a nuisance to your neighborhood!!

Getting old stinks!!

Ain't it the truth, girlfriend!!!!!

2x2s::Your menu does sound rather "gourmet"!! You would never be able to eat the food I fix!! Have a good time today!! Sorry I missed all of the chat last night, but just fell asleep on the couch, then got up and went to bed about 11:30pm.
BTW, what did your Mom buy herself? Just curious.

Ashley::5 more days!!! Can't wait to see a pic of your haircut!!!(hint hint)

Nicole::Just 10 more days for you young lady!!!! The wine tasting fest sounds like fun, even if it was crowded!!!

DznyFan::I feel for your DD's feet!! I am on my feet alot and have to forgo style for comfort!! I just love shoe shopping...NOT!!! I hope you have found your lake house!!! Sounds like you like the first one best!!

Precious Pixie::Good luck on your presentation!! You have been a busy gal. So glad the rain sprinkles didn't ruin the BBQ!!

April::Check in when you can!! Are you at WDW now?? If you are have fun!! Give Mickey a hug for me. How was the MNSSHP??? Details please!!!

Well, I really need to go grocery shopping and perhaps plan a decent meal for this evening. It's been too long since DH and DS had a vegetable. I will try to eat a salad or something to get a daily intake, but they are not so concerned.
