DznyFan---I think you commented embarrassingly a long time ago on my niece and nephew's names------yes we are Italian (my dad is full Italian and my mom is full German), and my BIL is 1/2 Italian as well, so they wanted to name the kids something befitting---therefore Isabella, Gianni and Luca came about. You'll laugh at what they wanted to name one of their children ever since high school (they are high school sweethearts)---ready, get set...........Dino.

My BIL (like my dad) is a huuuuge Ferrari fan, so he wanted to name his first boy after Dino Ferrari. My mom held her breath at every pregnancy......all she thought about were the Flinstones.

Well, at least he'd already have an Aunt Wilma.
Sarah Brightman?? I loove Sarah Brightman!!!! I saw her in concert twice---amazing!! Oh, and Harry Jr.---yumm!!!

Mr. Robert Austin... hmmm.... now, I know this is a long shot (but I like to think optimistically) but just in case Mr. Austin does happen to take your room at POFQ, perhaps he resembles Mr. Depp, is single, and independently wealthy. (he of course, just likes staying at the POFQ over the GF because of the ambiance and his Louisiana 'roots'.)

hmmmmm.......funny......my thoughts exactly!!
Lyzziesmom----again, embarrassingly a long time in answering your question about my treatments.... I have to get four of the new treatments----once per week for four weeks. The first one takes 8 hrs., the last three, if I do okay with the first one can be shortened to about 5 hrs. They pre-med with benedryl so I won't be able to go to work after like I do with IVIG treatments. I am doing the first two on my days off, though. The last two I had to take two days off due to the holidays and how my schedule at work falls. I still have to get my IVIG, too. I have to laugh because there is a two week period that looks like this: Tues--IVIG, Thurs--IVIG, Fri---rituxan......the following week....Tues--IVIG, Fri--rituxan. I teased them saying I may as well just spend the night.
That is too funny about your Dumbo dream!!!! A dream fastpass, huh??
You know, I can't remember the last time I was on Dumbo. I always felt foolish going on it as an adult without a child. I may have to borrow Emma in Feb.
Why do you keep having dreams about forgetting or something going awry with your camera?? Have you noticed this pattern, ma'am?? Will we have to be the keepers of your camera in Feb??
Are you going to see Charlotte's Web tomorrow?? I still can't decide if I want to see it. I want to, but the spider thing....still creepy, I must agree with ya.
Happy Hanukkah to Lyzzie!!!! Hopefully her eight days of presents will come soon.
Nicole---you had a Disney dream too?? Too funny!!!
This reminds me of my never-live-it-down dream story-------I was pretty young, but I had a dream that I was a detective and my sidekick was a misquito that I carried around in a matchbox.

This is seriously no joke!!
Nicole again-----keep up the good work with the cake decorating. A side business sounds like a good plan. We would love to see some pics of your work.
Have fun at the concert tomorrow!!!! How fun!! I bet they put on a great show.
Angela---your peppermint bark recipe sounds yummy and easy!! I may have to try it----if I have a spare moment.
Sorry about your continuing poop preoccupation. hehe
That is hilarious that Ben liked his new undie-washing chore.
Lesa----your reindeer pretzels sound so cute, but I can't get the link to work. I'll try again later to just log into the Betty Crocker site.
Don't you love Trader Joe's policy??----you can try things before you buy or if you do buy it and don't like it, you can return it.
Irish cream filled chocolates, huh??
Amber---thanks for the link to the treats. I'll check that out too. Oh, where can I buy some time??
Too bad about your Indiana Jones set. This is always such a let down when they don't have what you really want.
At least you have the watch box.
eta---just read about your "bargaining" skills for the box set. Good girl.
Donna---darn, I thought I could just slip by the prom night thing, but you have too good of a memory, girlie!!!! I ended up not going. It was the Sunday night after my niece's dance party and I was pooped, plus didn't have a thing to wear and my self-esteem wasn't up for it and to be honest with you, just didn't feel like witnessing all the "pretty people" get sloshingly drunk----which they did, btw, I heard. Let's see, what other excuses can I come up with??
I took my niece and nephew to see Barnyard at the theater when it was out and was more than a tad bit "disturbed" by the udder thing. Yikes.
Lin---tell me about Raglan Road---I've never been but keep hearing wonderful things about it.
How did your hair turn out??
The Mickey suite looks awesome!!! My style is more the Cinderella suite, though. I saw this and immediately started to daydream!!!! I wonder if the Prince comes with it??
YM--did you get to watch ELF yet??
How did your Christmas lunch go??
Talk to ya later.
Yolanda---sounds like you are having a busy weekend too. Get your stuff done so you can relax!!
Pozey---sounds like Colton and Chase are going to have a great Christmas with their new iPods.
I'm still in the Flinstone era again with my iPod----I just copy from my own CD's I have here. I haven't yet taken the time to figure out how to purchase online.
You, DznyFan and Lyzziesmom are cracking me up with the SNL skit!!!! I don't know how they keep a straight face either!!
Ash---I haven't seen the Disney
crocs anywhere. Were you able to find them??
I want to see Wil Smith's movie too. It looks really good and they say he will be up for awards. His son is too darned cute!!!
I have never seen Bad Santa---will have to put that on my list.
Music suggestions, well, let's see-----I have such an eclectic taste in music. I got the new Sarah McLachlan CD "Wintersong" before Thanksgiving and have been playing it to death. It's beautiful!! She is one of my favorites. Her voice is just so haunting. In fact, I bought my sister and my mom each a copy for a stocking stuffer.
My iPod has anything from Disney, classical, soundtracks (movies and Broadway), old Prince (yes, I'm an 80's girl), Damien Rice, Lenny Kravitz, Eva Cassidy, French music, jazz/big band, and I could go on and on.
I used to not like country until I went away to the Aveda Institute years ago. One of my roommates was a girl from Idaho and she used to blast Deana Carter, so the rest of us would sing "Strawberry Wine" at the top of our lungs to tease her. It kind of grew on me.
Where's Linda and Michele!!!!
Hi anyway
