Payday, Linda? Lucky you! I have to wait until Tuesday. I hate getting paid only twice a month, but it sure does help me stay on budget. I'll tell myself, "No! I can't buy that, I still have two weekends to go through before I get paid again!"

Lesa, FORTY posts?? Geez, I thought I was chatty! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm feeling a little whoopsy today, I'm blaming on the Greek food. Although nobody else is feeling it, just me. Of course my lovely mother's first reaction was, "You're not pregnant, are you?" Not unless it's the second coming, mother, considering I haven't had a date since, oh, 2003. Anyway, I'm hoping this feeling will pass because it's pretty yucky, but if I upchuck, I am so going home.

I keep meaning to go back & read our thread all the way through, because I've forgotten so much of what was said early on, but then I get caught up with reading the new stuff and I just have to reply, and then I run out of time or I forget! Ah well, it's not going anywhere.

Morning Cliqueless Chicas.....

I am struggling this morning.......

I got another call from a company in Tampa (Lakeland to be specific) about another job opportunity. Anyway, they wanted me to take an online "Brainbench" test. I couldn't take it here at work, so I had to do it at home. Well, I wasn't able to find the time to do it until about 11:30 p.m. last night.

The test took about 1.5 hours to complete. It was completely different than what I was expecting. I have taken one before, and that one was pretty much job specific questions. The test last night was more of a general IQ type test. You know......"what is the next number in the sequence" or "take this object, rotate it 180 degrees, flip it 90 degrees horizontally, and what do you come up with".

Not the type of test you should be taking at midnight!! But I passed at least.

Anyway......I am enjoying the potty training stories!! Both of my boys were right at 3 years old when they were completely trained. DD was just shy of 3 years old. Whew!! I'm glad the days of diapers, wipers, and pull ups are behind be.

I would like to give a big to all the new cliqueless chicas!!

 

[pozey]

It's raining here! It's raining here!
Pardon my enthusiasm (I like your enthusiasm) oops sorry, got off track but that is a big deal!! Really, it is. If I hadn't just taken a shower and dried my hair, I would have gone outside and stood in it.

Oh YEAH!!! RAIN!!! It rained at my house too this morning!!

Good Morning!!!
Today, in honor of our resident night owl we are going to have breakfast in the World again. Can you guess where this is???

Have a great day and enjoy your breakfast at WCC!! yahoo!!
(Ooops I just noticed the beer on the table, this may or may not be breakfast!)

Whispering Canyon!! And the Skillet!! My favorite!!
And what's wrong with having a beer for breakfast??!!

I'm happy you passed the test! Now if that was me I probably would have failed! I am a horrible test taker. Especially at midnight!

 

[MI mom of 3]

Good morning!!! I am trying to get all my work done today. I have so many errands that I put off yesterday and now I have to get to them.

Blake went on a golf outing yesterday and won a portable DVD player. Just the thing for the plane next week. He was excited, he did the same one last year and won a lunch box shaped like a golf bag. I liked it, I carried it to work all year.

Linda...Kenny is too adorable. I agree you are going to be amazed at how big he seems when he comes home. Where did his dad take him? Are they on vacation somewhere or just at the house? I know you talked about it before but I don't remember.

Pozey...you still haven't told us where your tattoos are Come on we won't tell Glad you passed that test. It definately wasn't something to do at midnight.

Donna...That table looks great!! Blake would enjoy a breakfast like that

Pixie...Good luck with the test I have always thought I would make a good nurse. Actually trained as a medical assistant. Never did anything with it, I wasn't confident enough.

Lesa...40 posts, you were better off when your computer was broken Sshhh...don't tell Matt I told his poopy story

 

[keishashadow]

That spread looks good to me. Ashamed to admit, I've never eaten @ WC but, I've seen them getting "busy" lots of times as I walked past.

Honestly, didn't think anywhere could be noiser than Chef Mickeys .

 

[keishashadow]

MI mom of 3 - I could be mistaken but, don't think any electronics are allowed on planes as carry ons...at least for now.

My yongest DS took the news that his fav. Nintendo DS & ipod were probably going to be packed...good way to get him to read on flight though.

I don't know how I'll survive w/o my chapstick...will have to grease up good before I board.
Whatever it takes to keep us safe.

 

[lindakmonty]

Good morning Michele... they took Kenny to New Jersey ...to visit some guy she knows I have no idea how they think a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old will enjoy visiting someone they don't know...but whatever.. they're not too bright to begin with. The latest is she's seeing a psychiatrist. She is telling everyone that he's giving her business advice since her firm is going down the toilet. yeah..that's why people go to psychiatrists right? It drives me crazy that poor Kenny has to go back and forth like that. His dad had NOTHING to do w/him until last August when they met. Oh well... legally there isn't much I can do unless we just move. I don't want to hurt Kenny either. It just sucks!! Sorry if TMI

That's ok...at least he gets to go to wdw and cruises..and yellowstone...and fun cool places w/his mom !!

Cool that Blake won a dvd player That is awesome!!! Good timing too!

Oh Pozey..I'd never have passed a test like that late at night...Hope you find a position you like

ahhh its lunch time have a good one

Not TMI, and vent away. God knows your entitled, especially right now. I'm just so sorry you and Kenny have to go through this with them! I read through your posts and I just feel so bad, and feel like it's not justified, the BS you guys are dealing with. He is just SOOOO cute!

Blake went on a golf outing yesterday and won a portable DVD player.

Yay!!!

wow - that had to stink. At least you passed... I'm with everyone else, at that hour, no way I'd have passed! Have you looked at the real estate prices down there? We're so spoiled here.

DznyFan - nope, I'm from Kansas City not St. Louis. 2xcited is from St. Louis though, I'm sure she'd be happy to give you some pointers. (Or possibly some other fingers. Ha! I crack myself up!)

I hope she doesn't give me any other fingers! I'd be devastated! I forgot it was 2x - I knew it was somebody - oh to have a decent memory again!
OK - 2xcited - St. Louis restaurant tips???
How'd your marathon Dr. visit go?? for you!

 

[lyzziesmom]

Michele, congrats to Blake on the DVD win! Keishashadow, I've been worried about the DVD player too, but from what I have read, it looks like electronics so far have only been banned on flights originating in the UK. Here in the US the ban is only on liquids and gels. I don't know what I'll do if they ban electronics... between the DVD player for Emma and the Leapster for Lyzzie, it's the only thing that keeps me sane on the plane. Hey look, I'm a poet and I didn't know it!

Pozey, man oh man what were you thinking, taking a test at midnight?? Aren't you glad you passed? I wonder if they will be able to see what time you took it? It looks like you are going to be headed to FL one way or another, doesn't it? And just where are your tattoos, anyway? Could I possibly ask you any more questions? I'm sure I could, but wouldn't that be annoying?

Linda, don't worry about TMI, we like hearing everyone's stories. Or at least I do. I can't speak for the rest of these bananas.

Donna, your picture of WCC is making me hungry! I have ADR's there next month and after seeing that, I'm so glad I chose it. 3 more weeks, yay!!

 

[lyzziesmom]

DznyFan, I think we posted at the same time. I know what you mean about the memory thi..... I'm sorry, was I saying something?

 

[keishashadow]

lyzziesmom - I hope they're not banning them. I heard on local news they're not allowing cameras/video recorders. We had luggage issues on flight last year when a bag went missing. Both the airline & homeowner's had exclusions for electronic items. Glad the bag showed up, eventually. Certainly wouldn't want to check them w/o anyone taking liability.

3 weeks to the motherland for you , where you staying? Are you doing DP, where's your ADRs - do tell!

 

[2xcited2slp]

Hey hey you crazy nutties--


Guess what?? It's Friday. I know you didn't know that so I thought I would share the news.

But, I have to work tomorrow so it's still kind of Thursday in my world. Oh well, that's life in the big city.



Donna, my Donna, you sweet lil' shmoopy----THANKS a bunch for breakfast---what, you all don't drink beer in the a.m.?? or eat corn and ribs, for that matter??
I'm all verklempt that you thought of me!!!!!! The dancin' Pin-cess. kiss kiss
Yep, 2 more months and I will be right there. YEEE-HAAAAW

Me?? A life?? umm, okay??!!! I wish someone would let me in on the secret of where it went. I think it flew out the window--the Secret Window--when I was chosen to work the crazy schedule that I do.
(you like how I fit my JD into my post yet once again??) don't tell Lyzziesmomma.

Too bad you could not have ridden with DH and DS down (or up??--because I'm all turned around--hehe) to the Lake---you could have shopped, punkinette. Lots of fun outlets.


Hey April---Hi stranger!!!!! What's up sister?? Not a whole lot, I'm sure--you slacker, you!! I know, you want to punch me too just about now. We miss you!!!!!!
Remember your goals--WDW----girlie.

Oh, drinkin' a little too much, are we?? Where can I join you?? You always have the cutest smilies--well, usually--that Spidey guy was just plain disturbing---I have sceery dreams of him now--thank you very much--j/k.

Good luck with your driveway!!


Precious Pixie--WELCOME to the cliqueless crowd. So, toilet paper over or under??

Boca, huh?? Have you always lived there??
Max's Grill at Meizner--gotta love it!!!!
My sis lived in Delray for years and now is moving back there again so I will be spending alot of time in S. Florida.

Good luck on your nursing entrance exam!!


Angela--yay for no poopies.

You're cracking me up with your son's 2nd grade story--you tell him, girl!!

I love your tickers--they remind me of "how big are you?? SOOOO BIG"--said in my best ootchy cootchy baby voice---if this is what they are supposed to be--sorry, I digress.


Miss DznyFan--I just renamed your location to "where the rain comes sweepin' down the plain"

Nope, I am the St. Louisan. What highway are taking in?? If you want to get realy authentic--there is an area called "The Hill" that is all old school Italian--lots of great restaurants there--from casual to fancy. Zia's, Charlie Gitto's, Lorenzo's Trattoria--the list (not the beat) goes on. There are also Italian markets here. It seems like St. Louis has lots of little "areas", if you will. Clayton, The Delmar Loop, The Hill, The West End, etc. and they all have there own restaurants and shops. I suppose the best way is to research internet. The Hill is great, though--but I'm partial because I'm Italian. When are you going to Chicago??

Ted Drewes is a famous frozen custard place--kind of nastalgic--sorry spelling nazi--on the old Route 66. It depends what time of day you go--it could get really packed. This is right down the street from me.


Linda-- Hang in there chica--only one more week. Just keep looking at those darling pics.



Oh, Lyzziesmommy--where shall I start with you, my little cashew??
(cuz we're Mixed Nuts, remember??) and I'm a poet--but nobody told me

The library, eh?? I'll be the one with the chicken suit on. No, YM--not Cluck in a Bucket. But I will fight long and hard for my precious JD. And just remember one thing, sista-----I WILL WIN!!!!!

Workin' hard, are wee??--oops, sorry, pee pee slip. What's up with the house decor?? I'm still watching Target for you.

Give Lyzzie and Emma a hug from their Auntie Pin-cess.



Keishashadow--welcome to you too!!!!
How do you know if the computer gets a virus?? Does it sneeze?? Seriously, I'm a bit more computer challenged than I dare to admit.



Luvdzne (Lesa/Gracie)--you and MImom are really related?? I thought this was a funny thing from the DIS. Now do you have to watch what you say??
Love your avatar pic AND your cutie pup.

Did you like Barnyard?? I took my niece and nephew last week and lets just say--the male udder thingies were a bit disturbing, don't ya think?? Some parts were funny, but the whole pregnant cow thing--didn't like that either. I sound like a prude but I am not--but some things in this movie really were, let's just say--not necessary. Maybe it's because I had my "kids" with me and I was being an overprotective auntie.

And, don't fret--some of us write books--but it's okay because Donna took her speed reading course.
Cute story--BTW.

And welcome--cuz I don't think I said this before.


Latecoming-------Lyzziesmom---------library--TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Because if you're feeling whoopsy (?? ) then I know I can take you. Just don't do the chuck thing on me cuz then you'll have two messes to clean up--us tossing cookies and all.


po-ZEY---
I was up last night--I could have helped you with your test------let me re-think that. I hate tests. And I do not believe you would want this said Pin-cess to help you.

BTW--my dad used to call us Monkey too---you made me smile.

Hope your day gets better.

And reverting back to the beginning of this record breaking post-----IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hi to Amber, Nicole, Ashley, MImom, YM, 2x2s (hi, back at ya) and anyone I have forgotten (forgive me) and all of our new friends.



Okay, if my computer decides to take a little snooze on me right now and I get that dreaded message about my dial-up connection, I will poop because I do believe this could be a record.


Have a lovely, wonderful, joyful, exciting, great, fun for all, Disney Friday!!!!


kiss kiss

 

[luvdzne]

luvdzne - your avatar pic is awesome!

Thank you! It is a picture we took of dds at WDW with their new mickey ears on our last visit. We were walking and I turned around to look at something and saw their shadows and thought it would make a cool picture.

Lesa, FORTY posts?? Geez, I thought I was chatty! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well I just counted them and it was only 35 so not as bad as I thought! That whole Suri thing got me hooked yesterday. I think it was from lack of sleep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Michele, Blake always Lucky (except when he plays me in poker ) I have heard they won't let things like that on too. No styling products, no cologne. What ever will Matt do?

Oh and I will hold off on telling Matt about the poopy story for now! I may need it later for black mail!

I am sitting here waiting for dds to get ready to go do something. Why does it always take them till noon to get ready for the day. I already told them starting Monday we are going into school mode. Everyone to bed early, everyone wakes up like they would for school and gets their butts a movin!

Luvdzne (Lesa/Gracie)--you and MImom are really related?? I thought this was a funny thing from the DIS. Now do you have to watch what you say??

My DH is Michele's brother. Yes I do have to watch what I say here. I can't get in on any of those "my inlaws drive me crazy threads".

I totally did not like Barnyard. Those male utters, well I just don't understand why on earth they felt the need to add those. The whole pregnant cow thing I totally thought was not necessary, and it made no sence to the whole story. I was totally expecting Otis to start nursing baby ben. The movie had the whole Lion King story line.

It looks like we'll come up on 44. Then we take 55 out?? I think the DH might want to eat somewhere with a view of the arch. I'd like to keep it ON the beaten path, so we add too much time on to our drive. We're going up Labor day weekend - driving up on Friday the 1st. Italian... mmmm.

No styling products, no cologne. What ever will Matt do?

Matt MUST be a teenager....

 

[lyzziesmom]

Bad news for you, pin-cess.... the whoopsiness has passed and I was able to easily overtake a package of chocolate donuts. So WATCH OUT!! However, it being Friday and all, maybe I will grant you a reprieve. After all, I did get the double-cheek kiss again.

Weird thing: I got a delivery notice on my door yesterday from UPS... they left a package for me at the apartment office. Now I am expecting a couple things, but they are supposed to go to my mom's house since she is home all day to sign for stuff and I do NOT trust the idiots at the office. It looks like the package is from Panera, which I most definitely did not order. Curiosity is getting the better of me, and I am off to go pick up the mystery package in a few minutes. I hope it's something yummy and nothing explosive!

 

[2xcited2slp]

Oh me oh my--

it just took me way toooooo long to get my previous post to go through. I kept getting messages about too many smilies. Don't they know I am the plural smilie girl??

I hope she doesn't give me any other fingers! I'd be devastated!

You guys are going to be sorry when we all meet in person at our cliqueless meet (?? btw) because you will see what a sweet, kind, sensitive, sappy, young (?? yeah, ok) lady I really am.



MImom--yay for winning prizes. I do hope you get to take it on the plane though, as some mentioned before. I don't know what I would do if I can't take music with me. It is my salvation on a plane. If I can't, you'll just see some crazy lady doing some funky yoga breathing----MEDITATE!!!!


Linda--vent away, baby.



Hey, Lyzziesmom-- you add something new to your siggie?? It pops up with two boxes with little red X's and when I click on "show picture" I get nuthin'.

Are you trying to post those pics of me again?? I told you to keep your zoom lense away of JD and me--TOGETHER-- because I can just hear you now.


Keishashadow--I do believe we will be at the World at the same time. I am getting to WL on 10/14.







song for the day--sing it with me now

"I will survive--
so as long as I know how to live, I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give--
I'll survive, I will surviiiiiiive
Hey Hey."

MMMMM, Panera. I love that place.

 

[hellokitty86]

Hey everyone!!! Good afternoon! TGIF!!!

Hi all I hope it is not too late to join in your "clique", or in other words will be my friend

Welcome precious pixie!!! We here at the clique-less clique love making new friends!!! And good luck on your exam!!

Linda - Don't worry, Kenny will be back home before you know it! He is so adorable!!!

Amber: I really loved Pop!! We only stayed there once for 2 nights, but we really enjoyed it. We were going to stay there before the free dining promotion came out, and then we upgraded to POFQ. Now I kind of regret it, but DH wanted to try a new resort. You are gonna have a great time!!!!

Lyzziesmom: Ugh, sorry you are feeling sick. I've been feeling the same way lately. Hope you feel better soon!!! DH used to get paid twice a month too..but now he gets paid once a week. That's actually worse!! I don't like it at all.

2xcited: We miss you!!!! How are you feeling?? I'm sure that puggy wasn't as cute as Ruby or Leary though!!!

DznyFan: Ruby is feeling much better..Thanks for asking!!! I am still wondering where she got that cut though! and for rain!!!

Donna: Thanks for once again providing a scrumptious breakfast!!!!

April: Hope you start to feel better! I hate it when people don't show up on time. So annoying!!! I'm kind of opposite of you guys. I am a total control freak normally, but at WDW I just like to park the car (We have never flown to WDW, this is the first time, we always drove when we lived in South Florida) and not use it again until we leave! I like to use the busses. I have no idea why!

Pozey: Yikes, I wouldn't have passed that test. I'm like Nicole, I am not a good test taker at all!!!

Hi to YM and all the new cliqueless clique members!!

Oh!!! and GUESS WHATeverybody!!! Only 42 days until my WDW trip!!!!
