April-
Finally, someone who gets me!! I think you know how I feel too because we are both home alone all day. I have a problem (which I've talked about here before) where I can't sleep by myself, and so the weekend is a time where I get to "sleep in" too. My DH always tells those little lies that drives me crazy, and its always because he doesn't want to "upset" (supposedly) me. huh?? And isn't that mean of my mom to go to Disney without me??? She's probably riding Soarin' right this very second or eating at Le Cellier :badpc:
I so get it cause my DH does it all the time! I mean it drives me crazy but he says it's not lying. I don't know, in my book the opposite of telling the truth is lying!!!! And telling me that I'll be leaving shortly and showing up two hours later - - - LYING!! Telling me you don't have to work on Saturday and then getting up early and "running up to mom and dad's real quick" and working - - -LYING!! Most of our little "LYINGs" have to do with work. But, it's a family business and if he doesn't create boundaries there are none and he works ALL the time!! Sometimes I help him but it's all the time! So yes, I do get a bit naggy about the work issue. I admit it. I also don't sleep well by myself. Last year my DH was hauling large nursery trees into the New England states which required many overnight stays. I'd have to go stay with my sister (4 miles up the road) because I get NO sleep when I'm by myself. Sadly, not even my doggie makes me feel better. I need another person in the house. I don't even care if you're a little kid like 4 as long as you're a person and you're with me. I could always have gone with him (and sometimes I did) but I'm just not a trucking type of girl. I hate driving all the way up there to deliver the load only to have to turn around and come right back. I love to travel but that is definately not "travel". There have been times when DH has had to get up and leave at like say 2am. He'll put all of his clothes out in the LR to get dressed and set the cell phone alarm and strap the cell phone to his pj's on vibrate so I don't hear the alarm clock go off. He'll be extremely quiet i.e. no slamming doors, no banging around. He'll leave and then I'd wake up like 5 mins. after he left!!! I honestly don't know how!!!! I'd be sound asleep but when he leaves I know!!! I'd get so angry. I'd have to get up and go out on the couch and put it on like ABC or CBS because they start running news channels at those times and then I'd turn it down real low and TRY to go back to sleep with all of the lights on. I could never put on a fun show because they always have to throw in a horror movie commercial here and there and that would scare me to death!! I'd sleep on and off until the sun came up and then I'd go crawl back into bed and really sleep. :) After many times of that happening I just started staying at my sister's. Now, thank the Lord, DH is on a pretty set schedule and he leaves at 5:30am now. {Long sigh of relief} :faint:
Well I just got back from the pool. It was HOT. And guess what, I am so proud of myself, I walked on the treadmill before we went outside to the pool! Our apartment has a gym so I decided to get back into walking. About a month and a half ago, we started going to the gym everynight to get ready for the Disney trip, and I started dieting (gotta look good for the Disney pictures!) About 3 weeks into it, I got really sick, so that delayed the gym for a week. Then we started going back, and I had a really bad knee injury, I'm not sure what happened to it because I just got up and it popped, but it has been very painful. That was about 3 weeks ago, and today was my first day back! Its not 100% but I can put my weight on it again. Ofcourse, I gained back the weight I lost but today is a new day! So I'm back on track. (Although I had Wendy's for lunch :sad2: ) I didn't go as much as my high point when we were working out everyday, but I felt good that I did something .
I know how that goes! Once I was on a mission to drop some weight, I was doing really great and then we had a family emergency and I got out of the habit and I ended up putting all the stupid weight back on. :furious: I was just telling DH this morning, I need to get back to watching what I eat and trying to do a little exercise.

I'm feeling very burnt. I wear alot of sunscreen but I was refusing to leave because of certain somebodies who just took our chairs when we were in the pool and I was staying in protest. They actually piled their crap on our crap and I was so mad at the nerve!! They got into the pool so I moved their stuff on the one girls chair that was open. I don't want to get flamed so I don't really want to get into the whole story but I was very annoyed. But I'm going to remember to choose my battles like 2xcited said!! YES I am.

ANYWAY, I am working on my tan too!!! :cheer2:

whew, this was long.
:eek: :eek: :eek: NO flames from me that is just arrogant and gutsy for those people to put their stuff right on yours!!!!!!!!! I mean what are people thinking now a days!!!!! That is just crazy!! I would have been annoyed too!!! I'm annoyed at those people just reading this!!
 
OK, I just wrote a whole long post about the pool incident but I deleted it because I don't want to sound rude/disrespectful to anybody and I need to get over it.

Picking my battles, picking my battles!

Thanks for understanding, April. I think we might be twins separated at birth, even though we were born in different years, different months, and different states. :goodvibes
 
Hi April, Ashley and everyone else!

April- that's so horrible that you got cussed out when your phone lines were crossed, and what makes it even more horrible is that the utility company always seems to take forever coming out to get it fixed. :furious:

Ashley- we should so have a cliqueless WDW meet! To bad we can't have a quick mini meet in Sept. I also got into a big fight with DBF last Sun. Over guess what- POTC 2! I saw it with my sister and he got mad that I saw it without him! I was like "Well you were at work". I told him I wanted to see it again, and he was pouting saying he would see it when it came out on DVD. So we got into a huge fight on Monday because I was trying to force him to see it. And then the whole mess with his truck started. So we ended up seeing it on Tuesday. MEN!!! oh and no flames here!

I guess I have to start reading these Stepanie Plum books now! I have heard about them before but never read them. What are they about? I like Sophie Kinsella books, would I like hers?

I have kind of started exercizing for the trip. On my Dec trip my legs and feet hurt soo bad because I was out of shape. So I bought a thighmaster and buttmaster. :blush: It is kind of working I guess. My legs are toning up a little bit.
 
Hi girlies.

I am bored. Doing laundry but I cannot make myself do anything else. I should go to church tonight but I keep looking at the time and my one and only workable bra :ssst: is still in the dryer (I know, big no-no). And I cannot go without one!! TOO MUCH INFORMATION. Sorry. :teeth: Note to self: buy spare bras.

Miss April: thanks for the instructions but I do have one question from this not-so-savvy computer whatever you want to call me. My question is.......ya ready??............how do you have two screens working at the same time?? :scared: Told you I was illiterate when it comes to these machines.
You made me laugh at your sleeping at home by yourself. This is something I had to get used to, even though I don't think you ever get used to it. I live by myself and could not live without my alarm on my house. It is on 24/7. I know it is not complete security, but it definitely helps. I do find myself turning the TV on low many of nights and early mornings. Maybe this is why I do not sleep well. I am such a chicken, though. I hate the scary movie commercials too. I am the one who closes her eyes, covers her ears and chants "lalalalalalalalalalala" until I think it is over, then slowly squints one eye at the TV to see if all is well. :teeth: I truly am shocked at myself for being able to read the Stephanit Plum novels. It's not real, It's not real.

Speaking on Steph. Plum books, I think it was Nicole who asked what they are about. Stephanie Plum is a single girl in Jersey who loses her job and starts working for her cousin as a bounty hunter. She is from a crazy Italian family--just an example--her grandma carries a gun and loves to visit funeral homes. Anyway, Stephanie gets herself in all sorts of trouble and you can imagine the characters she runs into being a bounty hunter. There is a little love triangle between Steph, a cop named Joe Morelli and another mysterious bounty hunter named Ranger. ;) The books can be a bit scary, or maybe it is just me. (remember----chicken here) She just always gets herself into these wierd prediciments (sp?) and they can be a bit creepy sometimes. And funny at the same time. :confused3 :confused3 But, I love them. Imagine that.

Actually, we're the same months. :teeth: :goodvibes We're both October babies.

Nicole, I'm with you and Ashley! I would absolutely love a Dis meet. Wouldn't that be fun? :Pinkbounc
 
2xcited2slp - You could work at one of the Disney Spas!!!!!
-----quoted by April(FortheLoveofDisney)--cuz I can't figure out how to do this. :badpc:




What a wonderful idea, April. We should all get jobs at WDW. :cool1: :cool1:


To tell you the truth, I did look into this many many years ago (GF spa) but my biggest fear is that WDW would become just "my job" and would lose its magic for me. Does this make sense?? That, and since my sister keeps moving back and forth, I do not have the heart to leave and crush my family even more. I know, it is my life, but we'll see. There are so many more reasons to throw into the mix as well, but that is for another day, another time. Too long and too confusing. Too many decisions.

Sure, no problem. There are many different ways you can do this. If your here on the Dis and you want to see the whole entire thread you're on, you can scroll down to the bottom of the screen and underneath the last 15 posts you will see a little message that says:

"This thread has more than 15 replies. Click here to review the whole thread."
And when you click on the here it will open up a new page for you at the beginning of the thread.

If you want to open up a seperate page just because you want to be Dising but then you need to look something up on google or Amazon (like I just did when I wanted to see what Stephanie Plum was all about but I didn't want to leave our thread here on the Dis) I hold down the Ctrl key on my keyboard and while holding down the N key. So Ctrl+N = a new page. I am totally hot key (also known as Keyboard shortcut) girl. I don't like taking my fingers off the keyboard unless I have to scroll with the mouse.

Another way to open up a new page is to go up to where it says File—>New—> (and click on)Window.

Another way to open up a new web page is to minimize the page you're on so that you see your desktop and then open up a new Internet Explorer window that way (like when you first open up your web page). Or you could go to your start and click on the Internet Explorer icon from the start menu.

Doing either of these will allow you to have different windows open and do/look at several things at once.

Does this make sense? Let me know.

Yes...and if you join us you will be the 4th from the Tulsa area. :cheer2: :cool1: We could have a meet and greet...someone already here knows how to BBQ and bake. :banana:
:blush:
And I was baking again last night, after spending the day in the heat! Had to do 3 pies for a church bake sale, and one to keep. 7 pies this week, and we kept one. I'm glad my weeks aren't normally like this.

We had our BBQ competition yesterday - didn't do too bad, but could have done better. 9th place in Brisket, and 4th place Ribs. 17th overall. There were 78 teams. After a day in the 100 degree heat, I got home and hit the pool! And ordered a pizza. ;)

HelloKitty86 Oh, I'd have been so mad. And I probably wouldn't have been very nice.... I'm pretty easy going, but I have zero tolerance for rudeness.

So fill me in on this author you all have been talking about - I'm looking for something new to read! Sounds interesting!

Hope you all have a lovely remainder of your weekend, and :welcome: to any newbies that have stopped by!

If you want to start off with a quote (I forgot this one in my tutorial :blush: ) you can just click the little icon at the bottom of the post that says quote and it has a little piece of paper and a quill pen. This will quote the poster and set up the little quote tags for you. If you want to just quote a part of what the poster says you can delete out the part of the post you don't want. :goodvibes

I've worried about Disney becoming "my job" too. :guilty: Sometimes I think I want to be an Imagineer. I want to go back to school for Industrial Engineering and I've thought it would be cool making the magic at Disney but alas I don't want my ShangriLa to become ShangriBlah.
I always thought I wanted to be a wife and mother. That's it. But here I am 9 years later and still no babies. We did try the adoption route (can't remember if I shared that) and DH and I are just not ready to go that route again. At least not right now. It was too painful when the mother changed her mind at the last minute. I know many well meaning people say, "Why don't you try to adopt again?" But until you've done it you don't realize just what you have to go through. It is very invasive and OOOHHH the emotions of it all. It can really do a number on you.
I've been in and out of depression over being childless for a long time. Last year in August when I found out my baby sister was pregnant (sadly she miscarried :sad: ) I went into a very deep, dark depression. It came to the point that I didn't care to even get out of bed. I truly can say I hit rock bottom in the abyss of depression. My DH tried everything to make me feel better to no avail. Finally, he said let's go to Disney. :eek: :eek: Very un(my)husband like being spontaneous like that.
Honestly, I was only able to pull it together to make last minute ressies (airline tickets, securing room w/ DVC and tranportation with Magical Express) with his help. He never makes the trip arrangements so I had to pull it together for that. That was on a Monday. We left early on Wednesday morning and somewhere around Saturday night after 3 days of complete immersion in togetherness and reconnecting and while watching wishes something "snapped" (but in a very good way) and somehow standing there on MainStreet with DH behind me and arms wrapped around me watching the castle and fireworks and hearing :tink: "I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish, I wish tonight. We'll make a wish, and do as dreamers do, and all our wishes, will come true. . ." and right then and there, with tears streaming down my cheeks, I felt like "We're ok. We are ok just how we are and what we have is good and we are a complete family just as we are and we are going to be ok" And I never thought I would get to this place in my life when I wasn't consumed with babies but I am. I still ache from time to time for a child but I feel like I'm starting to live again. Somewhere in those years of fertility testing,poking and prodding. Temperature taking, diet changes and adoption researching I stopped living and life was passing me by as I could see nothing else but how I could MAKE a pregnancy happen. Now, I've discovered I have no Plan B. :confused3 I'm only 31. I have a whole life in front of me. What do I want to do? I haven't planned on anything else. If we should by some miracle be blessed with a child, we wouldn't/couldn't be happier but I can't keep my life on "hold" any longer.
-----How did I get into all of that?????? :crazy: -------- I can't believe some of the stuff I share on here with you guys. :goodvibes
 
April:

:grouphug: I'm so sorry for the problems you have been having with your infirtility. Even though DH and I haven't started trying yet, for some reason I am very nervous that I could have that problem, too. I don't have anything to indictate that I would, its just a feeling I get. If you ever need to talk about something, I know we don't know eachother that well, but I am here! Or you can just talk here ofcourse.!!!I myself have been going through a depression since I moved to Virginia. My DH is at a loss at times, and all he knows how to do is book a plane ticket home.

Oh, I remember now, for some reason I was thinking you were born in November. I think its because you said your a scorpio and I always associate that with November. October 25 is the date! Ok, so maybe it is possible that we are twins! :banana: I really wish we could meet up in September. (or any other time.) Do you have any trips planned for the future??

I just woke up from a nap, yanno since I was woken up so early this morning. Guess who was the first out of bed, effectively waking ME up!! :rolleyes: Well, I guess its ok. Its 8 pm, it was getting too late for napping anyway.

Does anybody have an idea about dinner? I have no meat right now, DH has to go to Whole Foods tomorrow. Nothing sounds good around here.
 
Hey Hey Hey!!! I'm back. Wow!! What a bunch of Chatty Cathy's you all have been today!! Made it through shopping trip with Mom DSis and DNiece. I'm exhausted because I woke up too early this morning!! With the house being empty and the Raccoon Caper from the night before I guess I was just too wired. I remember waking up a 5am thinking raccoons/wdw/raccoons..... finally I just gave up!!
April--Have I mentioned to you that DH and I tried to conceive for several years before I finally became pregnant? I had an ectopic(sp?) pregnancy in '91 and a miscarriage in '97 before I got pregnant in early '98. I don't mean to depress you, just trying to help you see that you shouldn't give up hope!! When I found out in Feb '98 I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop(Miscarry again), but alas today I am the proud mother of an almost 8 year of boy!! :hug:
2xcited--Doing laundry has been my main chore the past 2 days!! :laundy:
Will Farrell is who you were thinking of in Elf. Yes, I too have seen that movie a few times!!!

Don't know if I have mentoned I'm a Libra, too! October 9th is my b'day!! Better go I am going to have all this composed and then lose my internet connection. :badpc:

Thanks Ashley. I appreciate the good thoughts.

I love Sunday afternoon naps. This is another of the little thing that DH's does to annoy me. I'll want him to lay down with me and he never wants to take a nap. He says taking a nap takes up his day and just makes it that much quicker he has to go back to work. "Well I know that but I like to cuddle with you." Oh well. Sometimes he'll lay down with me.

We don't have any trips on deck as of right now. We're planning a move and so it's all up in the air. The plan is to move and then take our vacation. We are makeing a move because we want to and not because of a transfer or a job offer so there is no timeframe/time restraints with our move. You know if we had a deadline or something we'd have a better idea.

Dinner? Hhhmm? Have any spaghetti? That's always a good quick food dish. Butter some bread and sprinkle it with garlic powder and toast in the oven and voila Viva Italia.

Breakfast for dinner maybe? Egg sandwich. Pancakes? French toast?
 
Oh, I wanted to mention that I just watched the cutest movie. It was called Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy. She had some really great little words of wisdom at the end as the movie was winding down.

It's a good girl movie. :thumbsup2

This had me ROTFL!!!!!! (The part about the cell phone on vibrate!!)
 
Oh my goodness April, I am literally crying for you!!!! It is wierd, the sermon at church this evening was about adoption. The priest had a lovely story about a mother who adopted and soon after became pregnant. Later on in life she was asked by someone which child was adopted and she replied, "I don't remember." I thought this was beautiful.
I do wish everyone was not so far away from each other because you need a big hug!!! :grouphug: :grouphug: Please feel free to PM me if you need to talk. :sunny:
