Linda-- You'll love Hawaii. The whales certainly put on a show! They are really fun to watch. You should try looking at tripadvisor.com under the Hawaii forums-- there's some great info to be found there if you are willing to weed through some of the other stuff.
I have been checking that site out. Its awesome. thank you. Where did you say you went? I was thinking maybe we could do Honolulu/Waikiki area and the Maui island? I feel clueless. When it comes to wdw and/or
dcl...no problem, been there done that..but this yikes! I always like to be prepared! I'll definitely be scouring that site up and down! Thanks so much. Good luck getting everything ready to move. that would be so exciting!
it really is a small world moments
That is too funny, my dr. did the same thing. her son was in Kennys class at preschool too. Actually it was Kenny and her talking

he heard her say her last name and he was like...as in "so and so Becker?"...she says...yeah, that is my son. it was too cute!
yep. Danced and sang thru almost an entire number holding her skirt together/up in the back with one hand.
OMG... glad Erin made it through ok. I would have about died!
please tell me if I'm being to strict......
No you're not being too strict. Yes, I really think Dznyfan gave you some great advice! I'm like you, I try to remember what it was like for me and try to prevent it from happening or help Kenny as much as you can to begin with, but sometimes it is so tough. He's only 6, its gonna get much worse. Good luck, I'm glad you had a nice talk with her.
One of my brothers is the complete opposite. He would (and still does) what his "friends" do. This lead to a time where he moved to VA to be with his girlfriend and ended up doing crystal meth (he's now off, thank god). Still, he did this to fit in with her and her friends. I know that's an extreme, but it happens.
omg...glad he is off of it now. I am so glad I wasn't like that. I can say I'll be 30 and I've never tried any illegal drug... never smoked a cigarette...nothing... yes, I might have been/or am boring according to some

but I'm sure glad I never started anything like that! That stuff can ruin peoples lives, if not take it all together!
they're just being miniature jerks that will some day grow up and be full grown jerks.
Isn't that the truth!
Anyway, my interview was very promising.
Minnie seems to be a little better today
Yay for a great interview! Glad Minnie seems to be better too!
Linda...yep I remember that your DH does not like Tubby. Does he think if they loose they will fire him?
I finally made it to the Y today after taking about a year off from exercise. I'm sure I will be whining tomorrow about how sore I am. My DH mentioned a 5K "family" race coming up...sounds like a good goal.
He is sure hoping so!!!
Whine all you want! you'll definitely deserve it. That is an awesome goal. I really wish I had more time to exercise...but being gone 12 hrs a day 5 days a week... I'd rather spend that time w/Kenny

but maybe soon I can change my schedule some. Good luck.

we're here routing for you!
Well, I am quite a catch!!

yes you are pozey!
Listen, I have been mostly lurking for the past four years (even back when the debate board was around), rarely post, except about vacation stuff....I am definitely not in the clique but I still love THE DIS!!!
Hello and welcome maddiesmommie! Come join us here anytime!
The cable guy came this afternoon. As soon as he got here I called Blake and had him come home. I knew the guy would have questions and I wouldn't be of any help
I had such a bad day that I went and took a nap while he was here. I needed it and still will be able to sleep tonight!
I don't blame you w/wanting Blake there. I've had the same problems! Actually had one steal a $200 gift card out of our dresser
Glad you got a nap! It can make all the difference for me! Tell Bree I got her thank you note, she is very welcome.
I called Barb and told her I was 2 seconds from quitting, if she wanted to talk me out of it she better come find me
When I was telling Blake about it and told him that I almost quit I was stunned...he said why didn't you, then you could stay home and watch Lilly?

I was shocked. That was not what I expected him to say!
Zach was over tonight and asked Briana if they were taking Lilly tomorrow, Friday and Sat. Bree very calmly told him no, she is too young yet. She can spend one night but no more. His reaction. "Oh, OK"
She was so proud of herself for not agreeing to something she didn't really want to do.
I'm going to bed now. Have a great night.
OH.... I think I would quit today after hearing Blake say that

that is awesome!!! Yay for Briana sticking up for what she truly wants w/Lilly and the visitation arrangements!!
I will promise to stay away from the ice cream and Girl Scout cookies and Peanut M&M's and Cheetos and Buttered popcorn....
ETA:: PUT THOSE CHIPS DOWN, QUEENIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should do that too

but not those Dilly bars from DQ!
Good Morning ALL!!!
Have a great day!!
If you see me posting in the middle of the day again, maybe I've finally had it and walked out!
I don't blame you a bit...
Morning everyone. Hope everyone is having a great day
cause Im not. I am really beginning to dislike my job more each day. Its not the people, its just the type of work that I am doing.
I know what you mean! For me its the opposite. I don't mind the work at all...it is the people! I hope you can find a new position where you feel more comfortable. I guess I'm like that too. I don't feel like I get to use the skills and experience I have. Good luck, I'm sure you can find something somewhere else that is more rewarding
Linda----I had to laugh yesterday when I was over at my mom's house. She was playing with her cell phone and wanted a picture to put next to my name when I call. Well, I was DISing and I was scrolling through our thread and one of your posts came up. She says, "stop"-----and proceeds to take a picture of your picture of the castle (for some reason it is HUGE on my account still)------so now, every time I call her on her cell phone, your castle pic comes up. I told her all royalties need to go to Linda.
I need to run----I am meeting two of my cousins and their children for lunch today before I head in to work. We are going to the cemetery to do a "balloon release" for my grandma-----it's been one year that she has passed.
Have a great day!!!!
Now Kenny will think our picture is famous

that is too awesome!!! I love it. Mike said we'll be down to collect

glad she liked it!

that is awesome having a balloon release for your grandma.
Just think of all the mini vacations we could go on!
: There was a lawsuit and won, everyone got money to replace their windows, but the people that owned the house just took the money and never replaced them. So my little brain is a working on my next move. I am going to call our lawyer because the faulty windows were never disclosed to us. This however does not take care of the problem from my siding dude, I still have to deal with him. He will be sorry he messed with me, boy!
O.k. I'm off, have a great day everyone!
mini vacations sound great!
It does sound like you have grounds on the windows issue. I'd be so mad!!! Yeah, that still doesn't help w/the siding

. Good luck Lesa!
There was a thread here on the Community Board that asked the question of what shampoo do you use or something like that.
Wow, there are only 3 of us...but we don't go through that much of anything. I did go to cosmetology school in HS so every since then I've only bought professional products. I have long hair too and I only buy new bottles once every few months! I only use about the size of a quarter on my hair. For Kenny I only use about 1/2 that. I use a bottle of baby shampoo on his hair...a bottle every few months...and yes, we bathe every day

at least once. usually more b/c I have to shower after getting in the hot tub

or out of the tanning bed! Then again, Mike does the shopping for the most part

so I could be clueless on some things
I have a job interview with a
travel agency today!!!! I am so scared! If I am hired I start on Monday. I haven't been on a real interview in 7 years.
good luck Nicole!!! That would be awesome! You'll do fine!
I hope you're all having a great day. I started out to work but the roads were so icy! I could only go 40 on the freeway and I am not one of those scared, only drive 1/2 of what everyone else is driving kind of people.... I said forget it, turned around and went back home! I'm so glad I did!!
Have a safe trip Angela!!! Cant wait to hear about it and see pix!
