Good Morning All--
Everyone sleep well?? I wonder if Ashley's sleeping habits are any better in WDW----no getting up in the middle of the night screaming. She's most likely so pooped, so hopefully she is sleeping through the night.
I had a very odd dream last night---anyone want to try to analyze this one?? I was dreaming that I was reading our Cliqueless chat for the evening and two "lurkers" posted that they got dinged to let them know that bleu cheese was on sale.

Crazy how the mind works sometimes.
Graciously moving on-----
First up------
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MADISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a fun day!!!!!
Lyzziesmom---I'm impressed!! Lyzzie is one mature little cookie!! I'm not sure if I would have handled the news as well as she. I know I don't have to tell you this, but you should be proud!!!
I hope it goes just as well telling your parents and asking them to care for Lyzzie when you're gone.
We can talk business when we're down there if that would make it a little more legit. That way it will tie into a business conference. We'll just be discussing the business from the Piazza in WS Italy, whilst eating cannoli and sipping Sambuca.
Okay, so some people count sheep----you count owls. I don't see a problem, do you see a problem?? Too funny about your garage owl!! Maybe the owl was eating the bleu cheese??
MImom----yay for the makeup!!!!!!

No details needed---j/k.
Donna---yummy breakfast once again!!! We sure missed you this weekend!!

I'll tell ya Betty, sometimes that modern technology is just a pain in the old Brontosaurus Bone.
Yes, I do agree that the kitchen sink was a tad overdone. Visually and stomachly. (I made that word up, can you tell?? )
Thanks for the Ashley report.
Jill---I'm going, I'm going---as soon as get away from here---I'm going.
I agree---Ramirez did cause me to jump a few times. Creepy. I remember years ago, the first time I read it----I was almost mad at the friend who recommended the books, thinking, "whoa, she doesn't know my style at all!!" But, you soon get past that and the humor surely outweighs the creepiness.
Do you live near a Target or even
Walmart?? They have them so cheap, maybe $6------I'm just saying, this way you'll have the next one ready to go and you don't have to wait/pay for shipping. Are you paying for shipping?? I know you're pressed for time though. I'm glad you're enjoying them---they're a hoot.
Oh believe me---my tummy was in knots after my little bingey yesterday. Blah.
Amber----glad to see you today. Good luck on the caffeine thing. It's rough. I think cold turkey is the best. Do you get headaches?? Drink lots and lots of water---that helps. Hopefully you like it. I am lucky in that I love water, but I know so many people who can't stand it. Those little crystal light packets are pretty good it you don't like plain water----or fresh lemon or lime.

Just thinking out loud, sorry.
Oh my--don't remind me about the holidays already. I swear this summer just flew by!!!!
You're only about two months out from your trip!!! Can you believe it??
Nicole-----2 days!!!!!!!!!!
What time are you leaving on Thursday?? Do you have a layover or is it a straight shot??
Yep, I think if I want a Frosty I'll have to take a road trip. I guess it's not
THAT important-----today.

Ask me tomorrow or next week and I might have a different outlook.

yes, 2x...he has me doing way too much housework
lalalalalalalalalalalala-------with fingers in my ears!!

J/K------I'm jealous!!
I'm surprised you were able to function this morning with all that housework.
Pozey---good morning!!
I have one of the Nano Ipods. I think it hold about 1000 songs, which is fine for me. I got it last year for Christmas, in fact. I really keep only music on mine--that's about as high-tech as I get. I know there are so many new ones out there now that do movies, videos, etc. but it depends on what you want for him. I know
Best Buy and Circuit City both have a fairly good selection to look at.
I have not started a bit of Christmas shopping--maybe when I get back from WDW I will concentrate on that. Sometimes I am such the girl who cannot chew gum and walk at the same time.
It's funny you mentioned decorations. My mom is the decorating queen---for all holidays. Her garage is filled with every holiday wreath you can think of. I, on the other hand, hardly put up any. Maybe just a few nic-nacs here and there. It's not that I don't love Christmas, it's just that this is our busiest time of year at work (we cannot take any vacation Nov.15-Jan.1), and to be honest with you, I am hardly home during the holidays. I enjoy everyone elses'. It would be completely different if I were married and had children. Maybe some day. One of my favorite things to do though, is to drive around and look at Christmas lights and have Christmas music playing. I can't wait to see your pics of your decorations.
Oh, and one thing I must do every season----watch Charlie Brown's Christmas---I even have the soundtrack. Uh, I'm getting a lump in my throat just speaking of it. I'm such a sappy kid at heart.
Okay kiddos, must run some errands and do some cleaning. Have a wonderful Monday!!!
Talk to everyone later!!
p.s. speaking of Ipods----has anyone heard if you can bring them on the plane yet?? Or is it still no electronic devices??
Another p.s.
Who do I contact for an extension on my allowance of smilies??
