Lesa: We looked at Webkinz at Libby Lu but ended up buying a LittleKinz at Hallmark. Libby Lu wanted over $16 for their WebKinz, and Hallmark was only $13... $10 for the LittleKinz. She picked out a cute little white bunny, which is still sitting in the bag on our kitchen table. Oops! Guess I know what I'll be doing over my lunch hour -- the birthday party is at 5pm tonite and I get off work at 4:30, it's going to be quite a hustle!
That
wand thing for dinner never works for me either. I keep trying to get it to work for laundry too but no luck yet.
I'm not much of a pie eater (don't like fruit) but I would have to pick Other. I do adore a good Key Lime Pie!! Does Reese's Peanut Butter Pie count? Because that would be my second choice.
Lin: I liked the Zebra Domes too, but they were not at all what I expected. I thought they'd be bigger, like a Hostess cake, but they were so tiny! And I did not expect them to taste like coffee (blech!). But after three or four, they were much yummier! Lyzzie was so mad she couldn't try them because I had talked them up to her not knowing they were alcoholic. Oops! Who is your favorite singer who's in KC? We have a lot of great venues here but they are all very tiny old theaters, as far as large arena acts go we only have a crummy old stadium with horrible parking and most of the larger national acts don't bother coming here.
YM: I'll trade work schedules with ya!
I should have taken today off, it's been one of those days and it's only 9:30am.
She has me pounding on her back just after a neb treatment, which really loosened her up.
That brings back memories... I used to have to do that to my mom after her nebulizer treatments. I hated it because we're not touchy-feely and even back then when I was about 8-10 it was weird to have to touch my mom that much.
Whoa, sounds like you learned the hard way when to schedule the treatments!
Lin- An exchange sounds like fun, but I am the worst at picking out gifts! I'm always worried that the person won't like what I get them.
I love shopping for other people! I've never done a secret Santa or any kind of online exchange though, I have no idea how that would work. And we would have to have a reasonable budget limit, it's going to be a very lean Christmas in the Lyzziesmom household this year. But it does sound like fun!
Linda: We lived in TX for a couple of years and at the end of our street was a park full of pecan trees. My mom would send us kids to go collect pecans and I swear we had pecans for YEARS! We don't even like them that much!! Sounds like you had an interesting night, but not too restful. I woke up at 4am thinking it was morning. Then when it really WAS morning, I overslept!
Lyzziesmom - did you get the webkinz last night? We only first 'saw' them last weekend (older kiddo), but it's definitely something she would do if she were 8 or 10 years younger! It actually looks kind of fun...
It is kind of fun. When Lyzzie plays, sometimes I offer to help her.
She likes watching me play and loves that I can earn tokens faster than she can. She is completely in awe of my mad skillz!
I have extra codes from Emma's Webkinz and I just may have to start my own account.
Hey... do you guys make your crust from scratch when you make pies? I use the old Betty Crocker Crisco recipe. Anyone have a good recipe to share?
I've got a great recipe and it's super easy.
1. Go to store.
2. Buy Pillsbury pie crust.
3. Unwrap crust and carefully lay in pie plate.
4. Smooth out creases.
5. Crimp edges with fancy pie crimper thingy.
6.
This is the MOST IMPORTANT step!! Hide packaging deep in trash can so as to avoid the need to deny knowledge of their existence.
Just thought I'd share an email I got from Disney!!!
I bet this is tied into the
DDP no longer including the tip. People were wondering how to ensure that the servers would get tipped, now we know. The DDP was good as it was, but a bunch of idiots had to go and nitpick and complain about little things and see what happens? I don't know why people can't just leave well enough alone, they go and ruin it for the rest of us. Oh well, I only eat TS on the DDP (except when I went with you guys), and I only get the DDP when it's free. I'm betting the new changes won't last a year (hopefully!) because there's bound to be a backlash.
I'm in such a great mood today because.......It's Friday!!!
She also put her on a new inhaler that she doesn't think my insurance covers but thinks it will work well for Madison. She did give me a months worth of sample, so at least I don't have to go pay for it and find out it doesn't work.
ok, about any cream pie
I'm ready for the weekend too!
you guys are making me so hungry for pecans now
good luck at your appt. Ashley
...YAY, it's Friday!
I'm kind of sad about it, I've been here for over 5 years.
