Who here is not in the "clique" like me? Part 3

[YourMajesty]

You guys are killing me with your Disney planning!!!

Colton and I are really working DW hard about the decision to buy a Corvette or buy DVC.

Colton probably has more of a Disney addiction that Chase does. Chase loves fast cars.

Speaking of differences...........Colton and Chase are really total opposites in certain respects. I noticed something this morning. Today was their first day back to school after Christmas break. Colton LOVES school. Chase HATES it. When I dropped them off at the Boys and Girls Club this morning, Chase looked very depressed and teary-eyed. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he didn't want to go back to school.

My youngest DS didn't want to go back either...he suddenly didn't feel well. My oldest seems to enjoy school much more although this year, third grade, he's discovering that he has to put some effort into making good grades. He has poor fine motor skills and the cursive handwriting is killing him.

Good luck with the DVC quest...I'm pulling for you and Colton!

ps...I think you need to hit Ted's tonight or somehwere yummy! Nothing like some good food to lift the spirits. I'm sure the new cube is not helping matters much.

I know, I know My mom said something to me a few month ago that you still feel like you're the same person inside even as the outside gets older and looks different. That makes me a bit sad because people tend to treat you differently because you look old. Didn't mean to depress anyone!

What will be do here on the cliqueless thread without you conventionears?! Who's taking their laptop to give us updates??

That just stinks! Hopefully you're stint in that cube is a short one. And

Welcome back Lin! Get some rest!!

I will have my laptop to do some work. sad, I know!! I'm sure we'll check in!!

I know exactly what you mean. When people ask my age, I still want to blurt out 22, even though that was 10 years ago!! But on the inside I still feel like I'm 16... but I'm twice as old and there's twice as much of me.

I was just at the mall during my lunch break and wow, what a way to feel old. The place was crawling with teenagers who don't even look at me. I remember cruising the mall at that age, and yeah, I didn't look at anyone over about 21. They were OLD, man!! Even more depressing than that: I went to the Disney Store and couldn't find a single thing I wanted to buy!! I was hoping to get something for the trip, but I have no idea what the weather will be like so I didn't know whether to buy a tshirt or a sweater, so I got nothing. Oh well, more spending money for the trip! (sorry pozey if we are making you jealous!)

Here's another thing I've noticed lately about the mall, and retail in general. What is it with the horrible service? I got pretzel bites and a smoothie from the pretzel place, thinking it would make a nice lunchtime snack. Not only did they have the nerve to charge me $8.00 for it (it'll be cheaper to get snacks in WDW!) but there were two people behind the counter. They BOTH had to take my order, then BOTH fill the cup with pretzel bites, then BOTH go make the smoothie, then BOTH process the credit card. And no, neither of them was training the other one. And to top it all off, the pretzel bites are stale and wearing some cinnamon from the ones next to them, and the smoothie is not fully mixed!! It's pretty gross, but I'll be darned if I'm going to throw away $8 worth of food.

I've come to the conclusion that no place in Kansas City sells Disney Crocs in adult sizes. The ONE place where I did find them had only the kid sizes, and they were more $$ than I can get them online. I think I will order some for myself and for Emma.

Anyway... pozey, that's cute & sad about Chase being teary-eyed going back to school. Lyzzie couldn't wait, she has always loved school. I have a feeling Emma will be a different story. She is very much like my brother. His school days consisted of much yelling, "I can't DO it!!" while banging his forehead against the table. This morning Emma burst into big huge crocodile tears, crying, "Oh NOOOOOO!" because she couldn't stab her waffle with her fork.

As much as I love Corvettes, I'm rooting for DVC!
Poor Chase
I'm sorry to hear about your cubicle from hades.

I've noticed the same thing about customer service in general - regardless of the industry. It stinks!
Good luck with your crocs - I ordered my DH's at Nofeargear.com

My youngest DS didn't want to go back either...he suddenly didn't feel well. My oldest seems to enjoy school much more although this year, third grade, he's discovering that he has to put some effort into making good grades. He has poor fine motor skills and the cursive handwriting is killing him.

Did you send both your boys? or did the suddenly ill stay home?

All of us not able to go expect a full trip report daily with tons of pics! (teeth smilie)

Poor Chase. I'm sorry about your cube.

Buy DVC!!!

 

[lyzziesmom]

I will volunteer to bring my laptop.... oh wait, I don't have one.


Anyone want to buy me a laptop?? (teeth smiley)

 

[pozey]

I want to thank you guys for cheering me up today.

I haven't been in the best of moods today.

Actually, reading about your Disney plans is therapeutic. It reminds me that I WILL return to Disney someday. Not sure when.......but we will return.

DznyFan & YM -- sorry to hear about the kids' illnesses. DW stayed home from work today because she has a touch of the illness I had on Christmas Day.

Its not too late to join us

Don't temp me.....
I keep getting these e-mails about how cheap airfare is to Orlando right now.....

I really do hope one of the cliqueless chicas takes a laptop and posts some the fun and adventure you will have. The rest of us that have to stay home will be able to live vicariously through you.

 

[lindakmonty]

pozey... all you have to do is look at those adorable pix of Courtney and the boys and that is sure to do the trick! I have pix of Kenny all over my desk. It always makes me feel better... lets see... I have 5 pictures of him on my desk

we do need a professional photographer

 

[lyzziesmom]

pozey: glad we could help cheer you up!

I have to rant here for a second. I hate hate HATE people who try to tell me how me to do my job!! Now I understand that I may not have the most skilled job in the company, but it is no less important than any other. I can't stand customers who call me up and then proceed to tell me that I am wrong! My current position is at a publishing company. Every day, I get customers who call me and ask for somebody who doesn't work here, then they get mad at me when I tell them that! "But I'm looking at your magazine and I'm looking at so-&-so's name, I KNOW they work there!" Turns out they are usually either looking at a very old copy, or so-&-so is a contributing writer and NOT a staff member. I just want to strangle these people through the phone!!

Rant over. Please return to your regularly scheduled DISing.

 

[lindakmonty]

sorry lyzziesmom that would get rather annoying!!

I just ordered Kenny roboreptile on Amazon for $35 they were reg. $100

 

[hellokitty86]

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been checking in. Since Jeremiah's had the last couple days off, we've been busy unpacking and running errands. I thought I'd share some pictures that I took at Christmas time too! Here are a couple, ignore how bad I look in them.

Here I am with my Aunt Melanie. (She is only 3 years older than me! She is much more like a sister and one of my best friends.)

One night we threw Jeremiah a late surprise party. Here we are with the cake, it was SO good.

Here's Ruby wearing a princess outfit my mom got her!!

Now this pic is very funny (and embarassing.) My Grandmother got us these (me and my 3 three Aunts- Lisa,35, Brooke 26 and Melanie, 23) matching shower caps and we posed for a picture wearing them We are also wearing our 'matching' PJ's that my Grandma gets us every year.

Hope everyone is having a nice week!! I'll check in later.

P.S. Here's one just for the heck of it and to embarass Jeremiah!! We were at Old Navy and he started posing with the mannequins

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Pozey-

Lyzziesmom- That would drive me crazy too.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Ashley- Great pics! I like the one of Ruby in her princess costume!

 

[pozey]

Is that kind of along the same lines as a RoboSapian? Chase got a RoboSapian for his birthday. It's pretty cool. And yeah, we got it for about $30, and I remember seeing them around $100 previously.

 

[lyzziesmom]

Ashley: those pictures are great! I was going to say the shower cap one is my favorite, until I scrolled down a little more. That picture with the mannequin is too hilarious!! And how sweet that your mom got Ruby a little princess outfit.

 

[lindakmonty]

pozey, yes it is like the robosapien,but it is the dinosaur. it looks pretty cool. Kenny will love it.

great pix Ashley!! The guys I work with were dying laughing at Jeremiah w/the manequin

 

[lyzziesmom]

I have a cute Emma story I forgot to tell you guys! The other day we were sitting on the couch, snuggled up under the blanket watching tv. Emma was holding my hand, kind of playing with my fingers. She took hold of my pointer finger and wrapped her little hand around, then asked me in her super-sweet crystal clear voice, with a great big dimpled smile....

"Can I pull your finger off?"

 

[lyzziesmom]

Linda & pozey: what do those robothingies do? I have seen them in the store, and I thought for $100 I'd expect that dinosaur to cook dinner, wash the dishes, do the laundry and mop the floors! They do look incredibly cool, but I just can't figure out what they DO.

The RoboSapian that Chase has is remote control. It walks, dances, picks up things.

The remote has a bunch of buttons that moves its arms and legs.

It also makes some rude and crude noises.

It actually is very cool in the way you can make it move and stuff.

I haven't been able to program it to wash the dishes yet though......
