Tue 10/30/2007 11:25a | Tink - I can't wait for those brownies. I hope they ship to TX okay. <g> We have one girl here at work that loves to bake and brings us brownies with carmel frosting almost once a month. They are wonderful, but not too good for my waistline.
MM - For some reason I feel like singing to you...."Did you ever know that you're my hero?..." Be glad you can't actually hear me as I can't carry a tune unlike the rest of my family. That is so cool to be so close to your DD. My DD goes in spurts. Right now she is telling me about all the drama in her life.
Villians - Your DS sounds like quite the heartbreaker. I am a little biased myself as I think my kids are all good looking. I do actually have proof that my DD1 is adorable. I entered her in an adorable baby contest and she came in second and has a big trophy. |

Tue 10/30/2007 11:46a | Tink - I am glad you were able to log in. I hate computer problems.
I don't know how the bash works. Will you know if they are young or old? I too do not know what is "cool",but I could always ask my kids. I figure you generally can't go wrong with chocolate and everyone is a Disney fan or they wouldn't be on here so that is always an option. I needed an excuse to go visit the Disney store this coming weekend. <g> |

Tue 10/30/2007 12:08p | Hey TX - my DS18 came in first in the baby contests we entered him in....It was so bad when he was little I would dress him in all blue with Mamma's little boy and such on him and all the little old ladies would stop me in the mall, park, grocery store to tell me what a beautiful little girl I had...I love telling him about that!!
MM I too tell my boys anything they want to know - I have been asked everything from when I had my first kiss, drink to how old I was my first time and if I regreted it. How many men (they did ask if there were any women - to their relief no). I have never done anything I was ashamed to tell them - I have made mistakes (drinking for the first time while a camp counselor in high school - but not while with the kids)but those were all learning experiences. I tell them I wouldn't change one thing I have ever done - because if I did it would change my whole life and I might not have ended up where I am now. I encourage them to think carefully before they make a desision - because that desision will shape their whole life...I am sure I will have the same conversations with my younger children as they get older.
Okay now the J*b front and my DS18 - he has been offered the j*b with walmart in the automotive dept - he would ring up all the work done by the mech's plus regular cust stuff - this j*b would be 40 hrs a week and he would not have any time off before the end of the year. Next he has been offered the j*b with Kohl's in the mens and misses depts - I explained to him this would mean folding and hanging lots of clothes (something I can't get him to do for himself here). Starbucks in town (we have 11 in our little town) is hiring and the pay starts the same as Kohls/walmart and if you work more than 20 hrs you get benifits (which he doesn't really need as long as he's in school)if it's more than 25 hrs then they give him a $3000 dollar school allowance!! So now he has to decide what to do - His goal is to play for the NFL (pipe dream since he isn't even working out and won't play ball if he can even make the team until next fall) but I would never rain on his parade...Hopefully by next week I will have one son working!!
DS16 is taking all AP classes and really doesn't have time to work and that is fine as his job for now is school...
Uggg - Mickey you are lucky your DD found her passion early and is already making that dream begin!! How did the reviews come in from last weeks show???

Tue 10/30/2007 12:10p | Tink - the Disney Store has had most of the Halloween stuff half price for about 5 days now - I am hoping they go to the old days when they mark all the costumes to $12.99.... |

Tue 10/30/2007 12:38p | Forgot to mention the best part of DS18 winning the beautiful baby contest - well a few years ago (you have to remember we have pretty wicked senses of humor around here) the contest came up in some conversation DS was having - so for some reason I thought it would be fun to give him a bad time and as usual DH fell right in line with it and soon DS16 (then probably 12) joined right in.... When DS18 got off the phone after talking to some girl of the moment about it I just kind of off the cuff asked him if he mentioned that he won as a girl(yes I am a BAAAAADDDD mommy) I went on to tell him that the boys group was full so we put him in a blue dress and put a bow in his hair and entered him as a girl and he won....the story went on from there and a couple months later I heard him talking to one of his guy friends about how twisted my DH and I were that we even entered him in a babycontest as a girl and he won...Well DH and I were practicly rolling on the floor laughing and finally told him the truth - he was so mad....but admitted it was one of the best pranks we played on him..... |

Tue 10/30/2007 12:51p | Hey everyone *waives happily*
Gotta-- the reviews came back good. The retirees really liked her performance. I still need to send out the evaluation form.
My daughter loves magic, but it is not her passion. Her passion is writing. She seriously wants to be a writer when she grows up, specifically a novelist. And although I'm biased, she is a fantastic writer. She has won many awards. She is also going to participate in Nanowrimo for November. She plans on doing magic to support herself through college. Like your own DS16, AP classes really take a bite into her time, but I love the fact she is so focused on what she wants. It will really serve her well in the future. She wants to use magic to get herself through college, earn herself a degree in Literature and graphic arts. She wants her job to be in graphic arts, because she'll need something to pay the bills as she struggles to become a writer. As far as dating, she says there is no point until Junior year. She wants to stay "focused" on her first couple years of high school-- and what's the point when "mom and dad have to chauffer you around?" LOL, we'll see how long that idea lasts! She's a funny kid, but an absolute great one that I couldn't be prouder of! She's the light of our lives. I'm going to get sentimental now-- but she really has a heart of gold and is special. She cares about others, tries to make a difference, and just always seems so grounded. Geez, I wasn't that grounded until I was an adult, trust me! Okay, better start another topic before I get teary eyed and make you all want to puke. hehehe
So, how's the shopping coming everyone? I bought and wrapped ANOTHER present last night! Almost 100% complete. I'm like at 96.5%. neener, neener, neener. |

Tue 10/30/2007 1:08p | Mickey that is cool - My DS16 has about half a novel written in his computer (I haven't been allowed to read any of it - but my mom and sis have and they are waiting impatiently for the next chapter to be written) He had wanted to be a writer for a while, but has resently decided he wants to be more into the script side of writing and is taking a video class in school and is thinking of going into film making - he is looking at the Disney College program and other schools in L.A. He has been watching alot of those Inside the Actors Studio shows and is very fasentated by all comics - I would be very suprised if he didn't become a comic first and then a film maker later in life...He has alot of drive in him!! |
