yoo-hoo!!!! guess who!!!!
I think I'm up and running again, so yippee!!! (not skippee

)
I feel like I am way far behind from responding, but a few things that have stuck out the past couple of days with my scanning-----
Donna----strep ear??? never heard of this, but I suppose YM is correct in saying that it can settle anywhere??? (not questioning your knowledge, YM, just giving you due credit

)
Hope Nathan is feeling better soon. This crazy weather has thrown us all for a loop.
How's your mom feeling??
YM----hey hey!!!!!
glad you got to see your brother on his way through town.
every time I pass through Valley Park, I think of you
is your laundry finished??
did I tell you that the washer at the salon was broken for about two weeks and we all had to bring laundry home?? it was a bit ridiculous---here I was lugging a huge trash bag full of wet spa laundry home!!!!!yuk!!!!!---- for several nights (wondering what the neighbors thought
SP
) thank goodness it is finally fixed!!!!
cute pics of the boys!!! are you getting your DS hooked on coffee, queenie??? give him some chocolate milk and he can have a mocha.
Shannon----you had me laughing at the thought of you jumping up and down trying to work up a sweat to take a shower!!!

yay for getting it fixed!!!
p.s. the pecan pie was good, but reaaaalllly sweet!!!! my niece told my sister that she wants to try chocolate pecan pie at Christmas. she's 9 (next week) and is really proud of herself because she is into trying new foods lately.
Ash----ooh, that Ruby!!! I'm sure she'll be okay, but they sure do run up the stress-nerves, don't they??
about the Canon S5-----I really do LOVE it!!! The zoom, as you said, is the main reason that I got it. I was working with a small Canon 700 that I love, but the zoom factor was just not there, so over the summer, I did alot of investigating and decided on the S5 (right when it came out, so I did NOT get a great deal

). I guess by working with a Canon prior, I am somewhat used to the features, as they are very similar. It is definitely a larger camera, so it can become a little heavy carrying it around WDW after a while, but it didn't bother me too much. Like you, I still wanted a point-and-shoot and the auto-setting is great. I played around a bit with some of the other settings, but want to practice with the others more. I think I was bugging my mom on the trip, because I kept stopping to take pics, so I told her I will go back on a solo trip for a photo shoot.
I do read the S3 thread often and honestly was a factor in my final decision. I showed my sister the S3 at Target when I was in Florida last July(??? August????) and she ended up getting it at a great price and loves it, too!!!! I held out for the S5 because of some of the features (bigger screen, etc). All in all, I don't think you'll go wrong with it as a point-and-shoot. I'll soon post some pics that I took with it.
DznyFan---I think I must have missed what type of book you are making????
Michele----Lilly's Santa pics are stunning!!!! I love the one that they are looking at each other!!! Adorable!!!!
Lesa----how are things going with Maddie????
I laughed at your DH massaging the turkey!!!!

new way of tenderizing, perhaps????
Lyzziesmom----hope you get to go to WDW!!!
did I miss Lyzzie's birthday???? or I am I losing my mind??
I know I am forgetting things-----racking my brain to remember, so I think I will give it up right now.
Hi to Nicole, Linda, Lin, Pozey, Amber (ooooh, forgot to mention how cool Spencer's pics are!!!! I cannot believe they are so detailed!!! What a cutie!!!) and anyone else I am forgetting.
I am so mad at myself right now-----I have been watching Dancing with the Stars since the beginning of the season, so I couldn't wait to see tonight's performances. So, I got home from work and layed on the sofa-----BIG MISTAKE!!!! I dozed off and woke up just in time to see the closing credits. POOP!!!
