Good morning everyone!

It's a whopping 10 degrees outside this morning Snow on the ground and more to come. Today I am going to be a DS school setting up theri "gingerbread shop." It's a place where kids can buy inexpensive presents for thier families for the holidays. This is my least favorite PTO thing that I have to do, but it only lasts 7 days. Anyway, hope it's warmer where you are! I'm dreaming of a beach and sun.

My favorite Disney Character: Izma from the Emporer's New Groove or Mator from Cars. They both crack me up

Welcome Kahnna!

Pozey-- great photo's of your son! Very Cute!

Well, gotta go fix breakfast for the crew and then it's off to the school. Have a great day!

Wanted to pop in and say Good Morning Everyone!!

I had a busy day yesterday which included putting up my Christmas Tree. It's not finished, though. I need to go to Wal Mart this morning and pick up more hooks and some garland. I love garland on a tree. It reminds me of icing for some reason. In getting some of my stuff a ceramic lighted penquin that my grandmother made me got broke. I cried and cried but Steven just didn't "get it". He was like, "Just glue it back together. All the pieces are there since it was wrapped in Bubble Wrap." I'm like, "Glue it back together? " It's ruined. I think he's going to try and fix it, though. I saw him in here on his knees laying all the pieces together. I just couldn't look.

DznyFan, Thanks for sharing the pics of your fun Disney decor! It looks awesome! I especially love the Malificient on your entertainment center. Very cool, indeed.

Today's Cliqueless Question of the Day:

Who is your favorite Disney character and why?

My favorite character is Winnie The Pooh. My mom did my nursery in Winnie the Pooh so he really is an old familiar friend. Even today, I have an obsession with the silly old bear and now other people are bringing me things with Pooh on it.

YM:: Glad that Sophie is doing better! My dog has allergies, too like DznyFan. He licks his paws and sneezes and sneezes. Poor guy. We have to give him meds for it. Take care of little Sophie.

Nicole:: Were you able to get the soda out? Sorry to hear about the spill.

Greetings all!!

Good day at our house...Matt got an A+ on his English test today. It was on Greek Mythology and he thought he was never going to remember them all

I have talked to Blake this afternoon. And the winner is APRIL!! You are correct, Australia is 16 hours ahead of us. When I talked to him it was tomorrow morning there, he wanted to know if I wanted him to check the lottery numbers so I know what to play. He said the flight was not a problem, it was fairly empty. He was the only one in his row, so he stretched out over 4 seats and slept for 10 hours. So he was completely refreshed when he landed. He said that it was 90 degrees there. He was in Sydney last night, then they will be in Melbourne for 2 nights, then on to Wollongong, then back to Sydney.

We had the sports recognition night last night. They did all the sports together at first where all of the MVP's were announced. Then all the sports split up into different rooms. The football portion lasted the longest I think. We were there until almost 10. All of the JV boys got a photo plaque to commemorate their undefeated season. The picture looked familiar, when I take pictures of the games I always make a disc for the coach. The senior speeches were interesting. Most of the boys are not the greatest public speakers. One of the seniors I swear was stoned. He is an idiot at the best of times, but last night he was nuts!! It's really sad.

Michele, you crack me up!! I love reading your posts! "but last night he was nuts!!" I know it's sad but that made me snort out loud! Way to go Matt!! A+

..........Okay, back to Part II.

April::: Wonderful news that you scheduled your Segway Tour!!! It sounds like an awesome experience!!!
I LOVE the new pic of you and Steven in your siggy!!!

Thank you. That was taken on the Sunday before we moved when my dad came to visit. I figured this way you don't have to pull out the microscope to see us like you did in our last picture. Thanks for noticing

I was out getting our Christmas pictures done this evening at Sears, and I have to say... next time, we are going back to Target. That's where we usually go, but Sears had a coupon "2.99 per sheet when you purchase 8 sheets (reg. 7.99)". So... the girls were active, it took forever, I picked out my 8 sheets, and they rang it up. Over $65.00!! I was expecting around $30, after adding tax!! Turns out that the coupon meant the sheets are 2.99 each AFTER you purchase 8 at regular price. I was NOT happy about that, and told them nicely that it was very misleading. Well they knocked the price down a few bucks (but still not the 2.99) and I knocked a few sheets off my order, and we did get some cute pictures but I'm still not too happy about it. If it weren't for the fact that this is the first time in 2 years that Emma hasn't cried at the photographers, I'd have told them forget it. I guess this morning's disagreement with my mom was good practice for tonight!!

I'm wiped out, going to check the DVR and head to bed. I tried to get in touch with DBF earlier to see if he wanted to bring over a movie, but no response. That's getting old.

OH... before I forget... I think I made a new friend at work today! A girl who was out last week introduced herself, she lives nearby & has kids close to my girls' ages, is newly single and has few friends. She invited me to some sort of interior decorating party this weekend followed by a "girls night out" ... waiting for details/official invite via email. Sounds fun!

Donna, don't you hate when you hit that pesky submit by mistake? At least you didn't lose the post!!

'Night all!

Oh my goodness!! I would have had a fit over those pictures!! That makes me so mad when stores mislead you in ads! It's crazy because I'm like Miss Non-Confrontational but for some reason when it comes to stores and deals I purposely go in for and misleading ads I'm a different person. Glad they took some money off for you!
Yea on the new friend/invite out! I need to get involved in some activities here to start meeting some new people but to be honest with you, it's been kind of nice living incognito and not knowing anyone. But, I do need to get myself out there.

Donna:: I love coffee cake. Thanks for taking the time to prepare it! Yum.

OK, now for a little help from you all. I'm trying to decide if we should do the Disney Dining Plan? This time under the advisement of the chiropractor that I'm now seeing down here 3 times a week he says no Space Mountain, No RnR, nothing that could whip my head/neck around this time around. Most of the time, food is an afterthought and grab and go but this time over half of my rides are out which leaves more time for other things like sightseeing and eating and shopping and eating. I just don't know but I need to be making plans quick. This last minute trip is going to kill me. I have less than two weeks and I don't even know if I can get ADR's anywhere. Oh, and we're trying to decide, do we do MVMCP or not this time around. We've gone three times before and I just don't know.

Too-------Much----- Pressure.​

Thanks for your help/advice on this one.

Well on to my day which includes the Chiropractor (this 3x's a week is getting old but it IS helping) and then the gym.

Pozey, just saw the pictures!

Great shots! Your Colton is very photogenic!

Thanks for sharing them with us.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Good Morning!

Thanks for the coffee cake Donna!

Lyzziesmom- That's terrible about the misleading advertising! Knowing myself, I am nonconfrontational, I probably would have just said okay, and payed. That's great you met someone at work! A pm is on it's way.

Michele- That's great that Matt got an A!

Pozey- Nice pics of Colton!

April- I say do the dining plan.

Well my car is being cleaned now, and I forgot to tell ya'll- Me and Steven got Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets! We have been wanting to see them for a long time and never get tickets year after year, and finally got the tickets. I can't wait!!! We went out with Steven's sister last night for her birthday. I am tired, even though we didn't stay out late.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Great pictures Lyzziesmom!

Great pictures Lyzziesmom!

Thanks! I have some pics from raking leaves & goofing off in my folks' yard last week that I put on my new flash drive and am trying to get onto my work computer, but the darn thing is so old I can't find any USB ports on it.

Good morning!

Thanks for the coffee cake this morning Donna! I thought a good ole cut of joe would go great!

It is so warm today. However it is very dark and rainy. I'm preparing for the 30 degree drop in temp tomorrow. I am hoping Madison's winter coat makes it in time. My aunt that stayed with us last week took it home with her by accident and is mailing it back.

Pozey...Very handsome pictures of Colton!

My favorite character is...... , gee I don't know that is a tough one as I have so many. I guess I would have to say pooh is my favorite with Mickey and eeyore coming in tied for second. I missed the last question. My favorite park is Epcot!



Michele.... For Matt's A! I bet he was really proud of himself. I hope Nick had a good time here. Brittany really misses him. Call me, we need to talk Disney!

Quick Brittany story. She is not allowed to take her ipod to school. Well yesterday she came be bopping home from the bus stop. I could see her out the window listing to her ipod. When she got to the door she stopped for a minute before coming in the door. I asked her where her ipod was. She asked me why. I told her I had been looking for it all day. She said she didn't know she would look for it. I told her "why don't you look in you back pack"! The look on her face was caught again!

Well I'm going to wrap some presents. Hope everyone has a great day!

By the way I've been thinking about you 2x2. I hope your grandma is doing better today. I am still praying for her and Luca!

Here are a few of the Christmas pictures I took this past weekend:

 

[lindakmonty]

lyzziemom... those pix are adorable. I'm w/you I want the cute props too. Olan Mills use to do a great job too but again.$$$... picture people were $$$ too...but adorable. I noticed in my Dr.'s office he had the most adorable pix of his daughter that were of this hard plastic and cut out around their body... on a little stand... they were so adorable...so I had to ask him were he got them. The picture people...so I had to go get one of Kenny. I love it!!! I'll have to take a pix b/c the description just doesn't do it justice I'm sure

pozey..where is the clapping smilie? great pix no lashes today

Yay Nicole for getting your tickets!!

April I can only imagine how you felt!!! Those priceless heirlooms... I'm so sorry!!! Why is it when we decorate, something always gets broke??? last year I broke one of my crystal candle sticks..this year one of my partylite pieces...Lin I'll have to see if I can order a new one
it's always something... bad thing.. I'm the one that broke both of them Grrr!!!
Personally I'd do the ddp for sure! we love it. we can't do it for our trip in Feb. its not an option for the land/sea packages We did it our last trip and it was so nice to try some nice places we probably wouldn't have if we were paying directly oop. it was nice to just kind of stop and smell the roses some and relax, enjoy some nice restaurants... Ok...how many more days do we have I'm getting so excited!!!! You can probably still get some adr's if you're a little flexible on your times etc. Our favorites are still Ohana and Le Cellier !! So many great choices.... Yes...I'd go for it!

Donna... thanks that looks so delicious! Yeah..can you believe this weather have to enjoy it before its gone.

If I don't get started now, I find myself at midnight Christmas eve wrapping. I do love busting them. Brittany especially because she always seems so shocked when she is caught.

Those are some great shots of the kids Pozey!

 

[mommyintn]

Good morning everyone!! We are back and we're beat! Just wanted to say hi and I'll be back later! BTW love the pictures Pozey too cute.

 

[lyzziesmom]

Great pictures pozey!!

The bad weather is starting to hit here. The temp has dropped to 32 (was 69 last night at 9pm) and I can't quite tell, but it looks like it might be rainy. Which means it will soon be icy, ick. And I still haven't gone downtown to get our discounted Nutcracker tickets! We missed it last year, I'd hate to miss it again this year just because I'm too lazy to make the 20-minute drive.

Lesa: love the new sig! Very cute. Too funny about the ipod. They think they're soooo slick!

Linda/April: I'm lucky, the only thing (so far) that we broke this year was a glass ball ornament. It was one of my nicer, fancy decorated ones, but no big loss.

Got to get back to work for a while!

I am a huge dork, I love wrapping presents! If you lived closer I would wrap them for you Lesa!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Woohoo!!! 2000 posts! Well 2002 now actually!

 

[luvdzne]

I am a huge dork, I love wrapping presents! If you lived closer I would wrap them for you Lesa!

I would so take you up on that offer! When I was a teenager I got a job in a store wrapping presents, it only lasted 2 days. Gift bags are my friend!

I am debating if I want to try putting some stuff up on ebay. I haven't sold on there for quite some time too many scams. I have a ton of American Girls stuff I need to get rid of. Has anyone used ebay in a while?

 

[luvdzne]

Way to go Nicole! For some reason I can't add any of the other partying smilies?

I had to chuckle at this one!! You do the crime, you do the time!
