Who here is not in the "clique" like me?

[Linzybrooke]

My weekend went by way too fast. Mike had to work a bit both days. He is pretty close to quitting. He wants me to type up his notice today. The company STILL has not yet fixed the van, sent another, or even bothered to answer him about when something will be done. We can't afford to rent a truck again (especially considering how much they already owe him).
He couldn't sleep at all last night and is just so unhappy. This isn't a good time of year for him anyway since he doesn't really have family here to celebrate his birthday and the holidays. To add the stress of his job on top is just too much for him.

I'm so sorry Amber. You guys should not have to go through this. Maybe Mike should get together a resume and send it out in the meantime.

Yes, I do, I go in at 4. I'm kind of nervous! I know I shouldn't be though.

Have fun!!!

Does anyone know if the people at CRO can see how any times you've called them and what for? I called to confirm everything with them and when the lady transfered me to dining because I somehow lost my ADR conf. numbers, the person wouldn't give them to me! She said to just get them from the resort. I need those numbers! I think I'll call back later on tonight.

Oh, call them back. They should give you your ADR's!

I am so mad at my mom. (Feel free to skip the upcoming mom-rant.)

Emma brought home a note from her teacher last week mentioning (among other things) that she's anxious to see tomorrow how all the kids decorated their paper turkey feathers. I just saw the note today, and the project is due tomorrow. I asked my mom what that was about -- since she always says she leaves checking Emma's backpack up to me -- and she said, "Uh oh, she was supposed to do something with that? I threw it out." She also threw out the paper explaining the assignment. Arrrrgggggh!! Either save the backpack for me or don't, but don't decide what's trash without reading the flyers!! Drives me nuts. I'm paying for this preschool, this is her first "homework" assignment, and my mom threw it away!!

That stinks! I hope Emma's new feather turns out alright!

I love this time of year for one reason above all others -- egg nog! I was flabbergasted to see that the little pint-sized egg nog snack I just had was supposed to be FOUR servings. There goes my calories for the day! Nevertheless, it's so yummy I can't resist.
.

I love egg nog! Especially the Southern Comfort Spiced Egg Nog. But I mix mine with milk so it isn't quite so thick.

omg I'm so far behind! uh..we didn't have a very good weekend. Kenny and I were sick the entire time. Didn't leave the house, heck, we didn't even get out of our pj's !! Today didn't start out too well either..but starting to feel better. Ok, I started feeling better when my boss asked me to fly to Miami....this week!! so, that sure perked me up!!! I'm trying to talk Mike into us all going down for a long weekend since the company will be paying for the car and hotel...and my ticket a weekend in the Keys sounds nice!

Great pic Dznyfan!!! Michele...Lilly looks SO adorable!!!!

That would be fun!!!!!!

Do any of you know what the heck is the deal with all the dancing pickles in people's signatures? I'm assuming it's like the "boo" and other various holiday things, but I can't figure out why a pickle? I'm afraid to ask anywhere else.

No! But I did read on a thread about someone being glad they knew what it meant now because now they knew they wanted one... It is definitely an inside joke of some sort...

Oh crap. I think I accidentally double-paid two of my credit cards this pay period. They are both through the same bank, and the same thing happened on both of them. For some reason a payment wasn't showing up in the transaction history so I assumed I hadn't paid it and went ahead and paid it again... I just double-checked to see if they went through and realized what happened. Between that and the car stuff, no wonder my bank account is so low! The sucky thing is, all the payments were processed before the statement due date so I'm not really "ahead" on the payments, I still have to make my next scheduled payment too. Oh well, at least they'll be paid off quicker this way but that was NOT the way I meant to spend my money!

Maybe you can call and explain to them and get one of them applied to next month anyway.

Well, I'm gonna eat me some pizza now!!!!

 

[DznyFan]

OK - I'm going to try to catch up once again......

Lin - you asked me the other day about the strike - personally I'm indifferent. I'm excited about the stocking stuffer stuff at Target! Bring on the princess goodies!!

Lyzziesmom - not good news about your credit card payments. Can you get the 2nd ones reversed?

Pozey - congrats to the boys for an outstanding job at the swim meet!! Loved the old Disney pics you posted - although not that old.... These kids just grow up too darn fast!!

Ashley - did I say I was excited about your Christmas cruise? What a great way to spend the days before the holiday!! Sure wish you could get to feeling better!

Michele - how did you like the Shutterfly book? I'm using myphotoalbum (it's where all my photos are stored) and I have some pretty good options to work with for page layouts, backgrounds and such. It's coming together, but very slow going. And still waiting on lots of pictures.

Shashy - you have fun at your hockey game tonight?

Amber - I second Lin's suggestion - get Mike's resume together and get it out there. What a mess this company is!! How're you feeling these days?

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

definitely call back! I want to have all that together B4 I leave, not once I get there! I don't want to wast my vacation time at counters!

You reminded me and I called and at first she said to get them at the resort, but still gave them to me.

Dznyfan- Great pics!

Lyzziesmom- Oh no! Hopefully if you call them they can reverse the charges!

good luck, I hope your first day went well. I LOVE candles!

Thanks!

I just watched a few videos, on one of the videos, the lady kept on saying "Don't leave burning candles unattended" It was so funny! I want a million candles! They all smell soooooo good! They are having a special employee sale on Thursday and Friday, so before I leave on Thursday I'm going to go pick up a few candles, a tart burner, and some tarts. I need to be saving money, not spending it!

Hey guys!

I had a pretty good day today! I'm shocked my internet is working right now, it keeps going in and out though! I got a call back from the doctor about the blood test I took for my kidneys and everything looks good.

We went to Ross tonight and I got 2 dresses for the cruise! One was 14.99 and one was 19.99- can't beat that! That are really pretty. I was trying to look for pics online but can't find any. I would take pics but I don't think you guys care that much.

I made lasagne tonight and it was REALLY good! I used my leftover spaghetti sauce but added italian sausage to it (I heard its good to add that for lasagne). I have plenty of leftovers, I want to heat up some right now but I think I'll resist the urge....

I was wondering about that pickle thing too!!!

Linda, I hope you are feeling better! Jeremiah has been sick since last week..you know how men are when they are sick!!! It would be great if you could go to FL. Say hi to my family when you pass Ft.Lauderdale on the airplane

 

[DonnaLeah]

Hi, everyone!!! I hope you all survived Monday!!
I did fine despite the premier of Atlantis Squarepantis.

It made for a good nap on the couch.

I made a big ole batch of cinnamon rolls this morning. You guys had better chow down!!

I hope you all have a Tiggerific Tuesday!!

Hi Donna! Yummy. Oh, yes, the boys were a little disappointed that we were not home for the movie...I think a nap would be a good way to spend time during SpongeBob!

 

[DonnaLeah]

Ok....now to catch up!!

Nicole:: Oooh, Aaawww!! The Yankee Candle employee sale sounds great!! So, you work the day you leave for WDW? Glad to hear your first day at work went well.


Amber:: I agree that Mike needs to get some resumes out there. Never know what may turn up!!
You guys don't need all this work stress right now.


DznyFan:: I'm lovin' the pics of Erin as a young girl!! I can only imagine houw you feel; they grow up so fast.


Ashley:: What in the world makes you thnk we're not interested in seeing your new dresses!!! I'll bet they're cute!


YourMajesty:: WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING UP SO EARLY??
Trying to snag a special ADR??


lyzziesmom:: I'm sorry you double paid the credit card bill. They would probably apply it to next month if you call and explained.


Linda:: A quick trip to the Florida Keys sounds like such fun!! You lucky ducky!!

Well, better get more coffee. Have a great day!!!

Well, I figured if I wanted to catch you online I should set my alarm. Ok, the ugly truth is my shoulder was hurting enough that I had to get up and get some tylenol. Ummm...do you think I'm getting old?

You're not getting old YM!! I told you...that doesn't happen until you turn 50!!!

PS...I hope the Tylenol helps your shoulder.:

I'm probably going to be in big trouble for this one but when I'm whining at 50 you are proabably going to let me know that there is no complaining until I'm 60. Sorry Donna...I couldn't help myself...I'm just messin with you girl

Yep!! No matter how old you are, Queenie, you'll ALWAYS be younger than me!!

Ok.........I"M OUTA HERE!!! BYYEEEE!!!

 

[lindakmonty]

good luck, I hope your first day went well. I LOVE candles!

we are getting ready to go to a Hockey game! Panthers vs Hurricanes!
I am excited. We have really great seats. section 104 row 15 seats 3 4 5 & 6!
look for us on tv! we are wearing black shirts.

hope everyone has a great evening!
xoxo

Hope you had fun at the hockey game! My boss has club seats at the Columbus BlueJackets...I love going to their games. It's a lot of fun. Kenny has a blast cheering them on

Linda, I hope you get to go to FL. It sounds fun! Sorry you have been sick.
Lyzziesmom, I have no idea about the pickle. It's a German custom to hide a pickle on the Christmas tree, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the DIS.

Well, Mike's company sent another van, but they didn't send the wine he ordered. Still, he doesn't have to wory about a vehicle for the moment.

I hope so too. I think it will be a good opportunity here at work, and a little fun added in there! Just some warm sunshine would feel great!
I knew there was something about the Germans and a pickle on the Christmas tree...but couldn't remember exactly what. that's cool

I hope you're feeling ok and Spencer is behaving I know it sure starts to get crowded in there!!
Hopefully Mike can get his resume out and something wonderful will come through for you guys. I know exactly what you mean though, its really hard to find what I make elsewhere too...I just keep putting up w/the bs.....almost 9 years now
Glad Mike got another van...now for the wine he ordered they just don't have it together at all, do they!?

No! But I did read on a thread about someone being glad they knew what it meant now because now they knew they wanted one It is definitely an inside joke of some sort...

Well, I'm gonna eat me some pizza now!!!!

ahhh pizza sounds so tasty!
inside joke huh...you'll have that. I'm sure we have some of our own

yay! glad you got your #'s!
Sounds like a GREAT sale! That would just be dangerous! About like working at TDS....I'd be working for free b/c they'd get it all back

Hey Nicole!!!

Cool! thanks! That's why I planned on leaving on the 26th before it gets CRAZY busy!! I read that it picks up around the 22nd...so we should have 16th-22nd before it goes nuts then when it gets more packed...but I did find out that the whole week of Christmas we're not working...so I could even extend a few days if I can talk Mike into it

glad your internet was working and your kidney tests were ok
we'd rather see the pics of you in the dresses ON the cruise
bummer!!! hope Jeremiah gets feeling better too!! Yes, I know just how they get but thankfully Mike was very sweet and made chicken soup for us and all that good stuff I'll say "Hi!" I might fly into Ft. Lauderdale..not sure...checking all the flights and see what would work best.

oh thank you Donna! love the Spongebob smilie! too cute!

Linda:: A quick trip to the Florida Keys sounds like such fun!! You lucky ducky!!

it would be great, but its not certain yet. I should know more in a few hours a break would be awesome...but we'll have to see. I'd like to sneak up to wdw and say "hi" to Nicole!! Maybe do a little shopping at dtd, or sneak in a park for a little while

Well, I figured if I wanted to catch you online I should set my alarm. Ok, the ugly truth is my shoulder was hurting enough that I had to get up and get some tylenol. Ummm...do you think I'm getting old?

Sorry your shoulder was hurting. Mike was up at 1:30 am

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Good Morning!!

YM, feel better.

Nicole, glad your first day went well. I recently discovered YC and I just LOVE it. I want to go back soon and get some more candles. My favorite right now is Red Apple Wreath.

Ashley, I love sausage and pasta, but I don't think I've ever had it in lasgana. I'll have to get Mike to make it (I don't cook, but I'm hoping to learn ).

Linda, I think Spencer is going to be a handful. He spends most of his day and night kicking me. I don't mind though. We did get him a few more clothes this weekend. Sears had a sale of Winnie the Pooh clothes, so of course we had to get some.


Thanks for all the support everyone. You are all the BEST! I am going to try and update Mike's resume and have him send it out. There are things about his company that are good, but the bad is just starting to take over. His warehouse is great, but it's the rest of the company that sucks.


Have a great day!

I love to cook...but baking is even better! I'm sure you'll start some when Spencer gets here!! Oh, he'll be a handful that's just the way boys are but it is so awesome!! I can't imagine my life w/o Kenny!! I remember him kicking like that too. It is so amazing Once he gets here...omg it is just unreal! I stayed awake holding him that entire first night b/c I was just so excited he was finally here!!! I still love to snuggle w/him. Thankfully he still loves it too Sounds like a great sale at Sears!! I keep seeing cute things on disneyshopping.com for "baby's 1st" and I think of you guys it so exciting!!

lots of luck and prayers for Mike getting his resume out and finding a better job. sometimes the stress just isn't worth it! Hopefully things will get better very soon!!

Morning everyone! I'm not going to say "good" morning, because it wasn't. First, I waited too long to take my Ambien last night so I ended up not taking any (it puts me out for 7 hours so I don't take it past 10:30pm) and I was still up at 3am - and then had to wake up at 6. I'm a zombie today! Then Lyzzie had a meltdown at my mom's house -- which we were 20 minutes late getting to for reasons I won't go into because they're too boring -- and she was bawling her eyes out, which of course brought my mom running to criticize my parenting style and tell me what was "wrong" with Lyzzie. What's "wrong" is... she's NINE! I asked her a simple question but she didn't quite get it and couldn't communicate what she was thinking, so she cried. It happens. But with me trying to calm Lyzzie down and Mom telling me it was all my fault, things just kept escalating. Just when I'd get her calmed down, Mom would have to get in another dig. I just kept repeating "Drop it!" to her. Ugh. So glad to be at work and get some peace and quiet!

Tomorrow is "Breakfast and Books" at Lyzzie's school, only for 3rd grade girls and their parents. I just looked at the flyer again and it says, "Please bring your breakfast and drink and read." So um... you have to bring your own book AND food? What's the point? Regardless, I'm going because it's always nice to have an event I can actually attend with her. Thursday is their Thanksgiving luncheon but I can't go because I have a dr. appointment. I wish the school would tell us about these things more than a few days in advance so I can make arrangements to go.

Sorry I'm rambling, I'm just SO tired. The precious little sleep I did get was full of weird dreams so I don't even feel rested. Also Dusty likes to sleep on my bladder -- fun! Speaking of Dusty, she's doing a little better. She still pooped on the rug last night, but this time it was right in front of the litter box. I consider that an improvement.

This morning when Lyzzie did her cat chores (feeding, watering, and putting Dusty outside while keeping Roxy inside) she said something really cute -- "We've got dust outside and rocks in the house!"

My boss just showed up so I'll try to make the rest of this quick. I wasn't expecting her until 10:30, my desk is still a wreck!

I love egg nog! Especially the Southern Comfort Spiced Egg Nog. But I mix mine with milk so it isn't quite so thick.

I do the same thing. They actually sell "milk nog" -- it's already mixed with 1/2 milk and it's delicious! Whoa, that thread about Xmas closures is CRAZY!

Nicole: Glad you got your ADR #'s. I wonder why they didn't want to give them out? Weird. That employee sale sounds great, just don't spend too much money! Do they have those sales often? I hated working retail, it was too easy to spend too much since you're right there and you know about all the great deals!

Ashley: I want to see your dresses! If I can't do my own shopping I can at least enjoy yours, right? Ditto with planning for a cruise. I'm so jealous!!

Donna: Thanks for the cinnamon rolls. A coworker just told me she brought in homemade cinnamon rolls, how funny is that?! Is Atlantis Squarepantis different from regular Spongebob? I heard something about it the other day but assumed it was just a SB marathon. There was a SB character at the circus for photos during the intermission, along with Spiderman. Totally random characters and the costumes were pretty awful. Spongebob's hands were on backwards!

I think Spencer is going to be a handful. He spends most of his day and night kicking me. I don't mind though.

He will be a handful -- of fun! Lyzzie was a kicker too and she was just the sweetest quiet little baby. Oh how things change! Emma was pretty calm while she was incubating, but she's making up for it now I tell ya. You just never can tell, that's the fun of babies!

 

[lyzziesmom]

This is odd - on the flyer for the school breakfast, it says, "No red drinks, please." I wonder why that is? Allergies? Spills?

Oh and I noticed the smaller pickle thread is gone. I always miss the good stuff!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Good Morning!

Thanks for breakfast Donna!

Nicole:: Oooh, Aaawww!! The Yankee Candle employee sale sounds great!! So, you work the day you leave for WDW? Glad to hear your first day at work went well.

No I don't work the day I leave, but I can't miss the sale!

I'd like to sneak up to wdw and say "hi" to Nicole!! Maybe do a little shopping at dtd, or sneak in a park for a little while

I hope you're able to!
