Mon 10/29/2007 11:17a | Good Morning. I am much better today. I called the guys insurance and they are fixing my truck,providing a rental car, and replacing the car seat. I hope to have this done within the next couple of weeks. RT I will be packed the night before leaving. Like Villians our german shepherd gets sad when we leave without him. TX that is a great idea for disney shirts. I am not as crafty as I would like to be sometimes and can't sew to save my life. Your idea sounds simple though. MM I will cut you some slack since I am doing well. I know it is hard for you to hold your tongue. As far as Hojo's knowing Villians I think they know her guests more.HeHe. Tink I will try your pumpkin bread recipe it sounds yummy. I usually get the boxed kind at Costco. I have to make cranberry nut bread next week. I will provide the recipe later if anyone wants it. It is tradition to have it on christmas morning in my family. Tink I hope that ceiling leak is not going to be a big problem for you. When we bought our house my DH took a bath the first night in our upstairs bath. He filled the tub and drained it when finished. I go downstairs for a glass of water and the ceiling was leaking lots of water. To make a long story short since it was a new house the builder paid to fix everything and the cause was the plumbers forgot to seal the overflow valve when building the house. I will check back later as I have some errands to run. |

Mon 10/29/2007 11:20a | Okay ladies good morning!! Guess what I am on my new computer IN the house...woohoo!!
So I called HOJO's after 25 min on hold - I found our they are sold out all but the King size bed - not big enough!!!
I don't have to worry about how far I am as I have the PAP (of course) so my parking is free...
I would look for other accommodations but my "favorites" are still on the other computer so until hubby moves all my stuff in the house and I have my favorites back...right now I have the Islander for $321 for two queens and a sofa bed...that is with tax!!

Mon 10/29/2007 1:13p | I'm here, but like MMW, I'm at w**k. I'm doin' a happy dance for you and the new computer...whoopie!!!!
It was me that asked what the heck English Matrimonials were. Raspberry is my most favorite flavor, so I've gotta try those. DD loves to bake, so maybe we can give these a whirl.
Someone started a question about vacation packing. Sounds like our poll on christmas shopping. For us, I pack in March for an August trip. I buy all new stuff so I don't have to do laundry right before we leave. DH and DD think I'm nuts...right up until the time they open their suitcases and see all new stuff to wear, and all new toiletries...then they thank me very much. I lock up the suitcases after I'm done packing so that DH and DD don't get into them and mess up the stuff or get something dirty. I's an odd thing to do actually, but like christmas shopping, I get it done early, and then I can relax and be stress free.
Glad to hear that you're feeling ok, mater, and that your vehicle will be fixed. See, I can TOO be nice, mickey. |

Mon 10/29/2007 1:32p | Oh, MM, you will love these. Soft, chewy, lots of texture. mmmmmmm Too bad I had to give them away. I think I will have to make more, but I need to figure out how to make them a little less in fat and sugar. I wonder if Splenda brown sugar mix would work.
Congrats the new computer, Villians. I remember when we got this one, which is mine alone and how much I liked it. Have fun playing with it.
I better get back to w**k. |

Mon 10/29/2007 1:44p | Man - everyone has to w**k today - and me with a new toy and no one to play with!!!
Tink - I think my mom may be backing out of the upcoming trip - She's in real estate and we know the Ca market is bad right now...She's looking at getting a part time job to hold her over - she has some money coming in with my dad's (her x) pension, recent x's spousel support, small child support from aunt from mother's side- but my uncle and his girlfriend really never held real jobs so there are no survivor benifits to help with the costs of raising an 8 year old... She has free tickets for the park from my uncle (he works with the cast members in the fine dining end of the parks). So I maybe only taking my younger two to the park with me!!
Mater you feeling better today - good news about the vehicle repairs - seems like you have plenty of time before your trip to get it done!!How are the rooms - any final decisions on decor??

Mon 10/29/2007 1:57p | Hello my friends~
Let see if I get this all straight.....
Mater, so happy you are doing well and the truck is being taken care of! Well, since YOU are calling off the good will guesture, I guess it is once again a free-for-all. Had it been me, I would of used it to my best advantage--- as MM will attest to. She once promised to be nice to me for a day--- oh, and I truly did my best to antagonize, and gosh darn that woman kept her word! Imagine! That woman's word is her bond! hehehe, but it was fun trying.....
Villians, congrats on the new computer! Gotta love that one! Ours also recently took a dive and we found ourselves having to buy a new one. Oh, darn it anyways. *wink*
MM- Now, I actually remembered you worked at a Ford dealership, imagine that! Something I DID remember.
DD's performance went great on Saturday night! She did an awesome job and got lots of compliments, which reminds me, I need to send out an evalutation form today.
Tink-- Like you, I never remember to look at the Ent. Book coupons. But, my daughter loves to go through it and find us discounts when we are going someplace. I.E. Yesterday we went to the movies and she saved us $8. Have to love a girl who looks after her parents money!
I totally feel for you and the leak. We have an old Victorian that was built in the 1800s. The past 2 winters we have had a leak that we cannot find the origin of. We've had roofers, my hubby has scoured the place, still no luck. The only good news is that it is in a room we have not yet remodeled. This year, hopefully, we are going to tear it down to the studs and when we do, we can track the watermarks on the sheathing to see where the water is originating. Until then, I cringe every time it even sprinkles.
BTW, did I happen to mention brownies are my favorite?
I know I am missing out on something I should be responding to, so if I missed out on you, my sincere apologies!
Happy Day everyone!
:hugs:

Mon 10/29/2007 1:57p | new computers- woowho! now you'll never have an excuse to not stay in touch.
mollysmom-i think we are packing clones. i love to get all new stuff before a trip,too. i plan shen to get all the new socks, undies, shoes and put it all in the suit case just waiting to leave. of course, i don't get to go to dl as often as some of you. usually about 2 or 3 times a year we go to las vegas , kansas city x1 and colorado every other year. hopefully our trips to dl will become annual or at least evey other year. i'll have to get the kids to pay at least a portion of the trip the next time. i really need to quit spoiling the little darlings. after all, they are grown adults now -and with kids of their own no less! if i could figure a way to capturethose grandkids and leave theirparents at home i'ld do it. but, my kids like dl as much as me, so no go. |

Mon 10/29/2007 2:24p | Hi everyone. I too was busy with w**k. Sorry you got so lonely Villians. Congrats on the new computer. It's always fun to have a new toy.
I can relate to the leak too. When they built our house a couple years ago, they put nails in the plumbing in our closet when they put up the base boards. It was just a slow leak and in the closet so we didn't realize it until our carpet was nice and squishy. They had to come in and replace the carpet and cut holes in the wall to fix the plumbing.
MM - I am so proud of you being so nice even though Mater said she would cut you some slack. What restraint!
Mickey - How cool that you live in an old Victorian house. I have always thought those houses were so beautiful. |
