Jest Quetions: Buying Cross Trainers for Tennis Camp.

[Jasper]

Hi all!! How is everyone this morning? Did everyone have a good weekend?

I am still upset about my weekend. A while back I won tickets to the Colts vs. Broncos game that took place in Indianapolis yesterday. Needless to say I was pretty excited about taking my youngest child (the only one still at home) to both his and my first pro football game. Unfortunately when I woke up Sunday morning my back was in such bad shape that I knew there was no way I could sit in a vehicle for 3 hours one way, then another 3 hours for the game and then 3 more hours getting back home. So I ended up calling my daughter and asking her to come home and take my son to the game. Fortunately my daughter's college is only an hour from where we live so she was able to make it.

I am glad that my daughet and son were both able to go but I am still upset that I had to miss it. Hopefully after this next back surgery things like this will be in the past. However, I am not getting my hopes up yet.

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Sorry to hear this Jasper.

Here's a little to help you feel better.

Were you so upset , you had to post it twice ? I would be.

Deb, a moon pie is kind of two round graham cracker cookies with a marshmallow center and (usually) chocolate coating. They're very good.

Thank you! We call those Wagon Wheels -- and my mom would only buy them for extra special treats.... Don't they have Goo Goo bars down Nashville way? Can't eat them myself -- but my dad used to bring home cases of them....

Isn't that the same as a scooter pie? Marshmallow between two soft cookies encased in chocolate?? We used to have scooter pies in our lunch boxes all the time when we were little. Brings back nice memories.....

Lunch box? You carried a lunch box to school? Nerd Alert!

I still do. Are you gonna call me a nerd too?

I forgot to mention...

With the big move TOMORROW () I probably will not have computer access for a while.

Good luck with everything!!!

Hi all!! How is everyone this morning?

Hey Jasper! I am sorry you missed your game .... Hockey's a better sport anyway!

Jasper, You are a great dad! I hope your back feels better soon.

Will someone catch me up to speed when I return?

Woo Hoo for the big move!

I just got back from my Doc, he said a lot of people from Tullahoma are headed down to Disney this next week~ maybe we'll hook them on Intercot if we behave ourselves. Of course that means I've got to be on my toes if I want a Lapu Lapu doesn't it?

[Dsnygirl]

Hi everyone... is it a bad sign that it still feels like morning to me??? I'm a little tired and out-of-sorts today... anybody have anything that might help??

That sounds like fun. What'd ya BBQ?

Chicken & corn on the cob.... it was SO yummy!! Has anybody else heard of the "dunking" method for putting butter on your corn? Our friends put two sticks of butter in a big glass jar full of water and heated it up on the grill... the butter melted into the boiling water but stayed on the top, and you would just take your corn, dip it into the butter and pull it back out - perfect!! I'd never seen it done before -- anyone else?

I think most everyone is doing last minute things before the big meet!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one... I can't believe the list I have for a 4-day trip!!

Ok, I'll admit.. it actually had nothing to do with will power and more to do with the fact that I was SICK! My tummy was turning and had a killer headache.. so NOTHING sounded or looked good...
I actually have lost weight this week, but again, it's more to do with my tummy upset... I'm still not feeling 100%... even my doggie is sick..
It all tastes the same.... my grandma LOVED white chocolate.. so I guess I inherited her taste buds.
hmmmmm.... has anyone noticed anything different about me?

Di, I hope you're feeling better today!!

I'm a big white chocolate lover, too - esp. the stuff that comes out during Easter. Yummm!

Congrats on 5K - looks good on you!!

We went to the house today. Isn't it looking great?

Here's the quilt that I designed and sold to my best friend!!!!

Carol, your house looks great!! Keep those pics coming! And the quilt is beautiful!!

I have 4 work days left until my trip. How do they expect me to get any work done this week?

Ditto - I work 2 nights this week, and 2 nights over the weekend, and I'm done!! Not sure how I'll keep myself focused over the next week - I even got irritated in my car this morning b/c I just wanted to hear Disney music, and all the stuff I usually enjoy just wasn't working for me!!

Guys, this AM I woke up sick and have called to get a sub for my teaching position. Evidently I caught DGS's cold from last weekend . My throat hurts, coughing, chest hurts....
Usually a cold doesn't make me get a sub, but this is a SUPER BUG!
I hope I get over this before leave. I'm going to try to get into the DR. today.
Does anyone know any quick cures?

Echinacea (2 capsules), Vitamin C (1 capsule) 2x/day and add in an extra 2 capsules of Ech. before bed... Zinc lozenges... Robitussin expectorant regularly and lots of water... and warm up some OJ, add 2 big tbsp. of honey and a liberal sprinkle of cinnamon... my mom calls in "Hot Orange", and it definitely helps!! Sending some "get well" your way so you feel better SOON!!!

I forgot to mention...

With the big move TOMORROW I probably will not have computer access for a while.

Will someone catch me up to speed when I return?

Good luck tomorrow -- be sure to post some pics once your computer is up & running!! We'll miss you while you're "gone"... will you be back before we all leave??

Jasper - sorry to hear about the game... I hope your back is feeling better today!!

Okay guys, I've procrastinated long enough... I'm off to do some laundry and clean up my house. Catch you all later...

[ElenitaB]

Di, congrats on 5K!

Jasper, hope you're feeling better soon. We'll be sure to blow some pixie dust your way on Friday night. Be on the look out for it!

Ken, wouldn't it make sense for one to be eating veggies whilst vegging out?

Mikki's on her way to WDW!

Deb, feel better. Do you have any Emergen-C? Please get better soon!

Later, all!

[ElenitaB]

Forgot to add...

Good luck with the move, Christine,
and many blessings in the new house!

Sure you don't want us to come and help?

[alpro2]

I think you are just there for the "river walk".

Yes, that is true. Lots of pubs and restaurants....hope I don't fall in.

I still do. Are you gonna call me a nerd too?

Do you really want to ask me that?

I work with kids and I am constantly wiping noses!!! I swear by zinc--I like the gum best. It will lessen the severity and the duration, I promise! Feel better!

Lunch box? You carried a lunch box to school? Nerd Alert!

Yes, in fact I did carry a lunch box. A green metal Robin Hood one, in fact. I loved that lunch box. Call me what you will, but your words will not make it so. Clearly I am nothing if not cool!

Congratulations Christine!! Does this mean we are all invited over for a housewarming party next weekend?

[alpro2]

Robin Hood, eh? I would have thought Scooby Doo. It's ok Maria....you don't have to explain. We all know you are cool ( )...not!

[drummerboy]

Ken, wouldn't it make sense for one to be eating veggies whilst vegging out?

Excuse me, but isn't the cacao bean a vegetable? Can I help it if somebody added sugar to it?

Sure you don't want us to come and help?

SSShhhhh. Remember, we were going to surprise her with the new house do-over? It'll be like working with a clean canvas.

By the way. Time is growing short. Do all the meet non-attendees have their assignment sheets and have you all got your equipment ready? Somebody needs to lube the bulldozer; I can't get to it this week.

[Christine]

Good luck tomorrow -- be sure to post some pics once your computer is up & running!! We'll miss you while you're "gone"... will you be back before we all leave??

Thanks, and I hope to be back in a few days...I've got to pay some bills online before WDW so I should be.

Thanks. Can I pick who I do and do NOT want to come help?

Yes, that is true. Lots of pubs and restaurants....hope I don't fall in.

Don't forget to check out the basement in the Alamo! (who remembers what movie that's from????)

Congratulations Christine!! Does this mean we are all invited over for a housewarming party next weekend?

You can, but I won't be there! We have team photos, double header games, school fall carnival, church, John's got a photo shoot, etc, etc, etc.

SSShhhhh. Remember, we were going to surprise her with the new house do-over? It'll be like working with a clean canvas.

You can't do my place...I'm leaving DD and DH at home so they'll be on guard!!!

[alpro2]

You won't be there? Cool! Just make sure there is plenty of and . We will tell you all about the party at your house at the BIG INTERCOT 10th ANNIVERSARY BASH!

[Caroleh]

I have my assignment, I think Pogo said he was in charge of the bulldozer...at least that's what I thought I heard him muttering. He said it must of been Alez that had it last.

Have fun moving, Christine!!! Isn't it really exciting?

[disneydeb]

Christine
I'm super excited for you and the new houses..

Carol
I guess your next to move! Your house is looking great!

I went to the Dr. and got a shot and some meds. I've been sleeping some today.DD Amy is pushing this costume thing to the wire. Brittany found a child's Jasmine costume, today.
Amy will find her costume tomorrow. I am determined.
Do you think I'm a bit pushy?

[Tink&Goofy]

There's a good 6 hour buffer zone, er... I mean painful distance between here and San Antonio. Why don't you come to the big D sometime?

I forgot to mention...

Good luck on the move - hope all goes well!

I can't believe the list I have for a 4-day trip!!

List? What list? This trip is totally on the fly!

Congratulations Christine!! Does this mean we are all invited over for a housewarming party next weekend?

Can we have a housewarming pary at WDW??

I can't believe its just 9 days away - I have done no planning (other than tickets, etc), the girls STILL do not know. I haven't decided yet how to spring it on them. Its an early birthday celebration for all of us - kind of an "all girl birthday bash". Anyone have any ideas??

[drummerboy]

DD and DH at home so they'll be on guard!!!

Who do you think sent us the floor plans? I think John said he was interested in a Dallas Cowboys theme.

What time of day are you leaving? How old are your girls? You can always tell them that you're all going to the spa or to get your nails done, and then head to the airport (get the suitcases in the car while they're not looking). When they question you, tell them you're going to the spa at SSR.

When I surprised DS a few years ago, I had to wake him up at 5:00 am for us to catch the plane. I handed him a card "from Mickey." It basically said that Mickey missed Ben as much as Ben missed Mickey (DS was 6 at the time), and that he couldn't wait to see him later that afternoon.

Pushy? No, you're just giving them a hefty nudge!!!
Deb, sleep is a good thing when you're not feeling well. Did you give your cold to my staff? I have 3 of them right now with that cold, I'm staying away from all of them!!!

We leave at 9:30 pm or so (red-eye - UGH!). I have to let then know we are going somewhere, since they have to get their school work (they are not missing much, but I've never pulled them out for trips - ever. This trip will celebrate their b-days (13 and 16). Actually, I had thought about making a girls trip to SSR and have manicures! How fun! Has anyone ever gotten a manicure at SSR before??
