For Brack, April and other interested fans:
Looks like Butch Davis will be the new football coach for the Tar Heels. Online sites and at least one newspaper are reporting that the contract is signed; they just haven't made the official announcement.

Can't I be an honorary Tarheel....even if just for the cruise...I went to UNC-Wilmington! I fell in love with the beach and couldn't move up to CH.

BTW Kristina, SW had a Ding fare from Philly. About $15 cheaper than normal.

Karen's pulling a Brandi!

(but they are so hilarious!)

Smileys via jokes...anything to boost our lagging post count. We've all been so busy lately. Me cleaning out my joke in box helped the post count....double duty!!!!

 

[brack]

okay - is there anyone out there actually reading these or did I scare you guys away?

Karen everyone is too busy laughing to respond.

I found out what the preschool drama was. There is a mom who is a bit, shall we say, overprotective. I am sure there is reason so I don't want to judge. The kids were taking a field trip to Acme today and the mom (yesterday) was saying her DD is scared of stores. OK? One of the teachers was telling her about what they would be doing, kinda trying to show her it is fun. (the mom also says DD has issues at school, but the teachers don't see it) One of the things she mentioned was that they explain where things come from. Ya know, milk from a cow, eggs from a chiicken, potatoes from the ground. She then started to tell her about the kids usual favorite part: going in with the butcher where they would learn that the chicken nuggets they eat comes from a chicken and not McDonalds and such. Well this mom was horrified and said "But they are just babies!!" OK? I guess she continued with this until the teacher finally said "No, they are not babies!" I heard the mom talking about it a bit after school yesterday and it sounds like she may not be coming back.

FYI the kids had a great time today at Acme today and they loved the butcher. The little girl wasn't there.

Okay - uhhhh - yes, she is a tad bit overprotective!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Well - I'll admit that one of the reasons I've been so busy is that this is our family Birthday month.

DH was on Monday.
DS is next Wed.
Mine...well it is coming up too.

DS will be having a few boys over for a sleepover next week.

Can you guys believe I've never done a sleepover for my kids (other than family and the children of drunk friends who decided to spend the night)


Any suggestions?

I was thinking along the lines of....

If you don't keep your "mess" off of my table.....

you aren't going cruising with Mickey!

Ok so that gets you four weeks....after that?

That's great, Marielle! Now they just need to get a football team. I'm sorry! I just couldn't resist!!!!

 

[goofyforlife]

Is that a joke, or did DH really write that??

Not my DH......someone elses....

 

[lbgraves]

That would fully depend on what they say!

It also depends on if we will have to go thru the scanner that day.

OY BOY!!!! That one is a doozie!

The girls also have started making plans with their friends for the weekend. At least with the PC party it will motivate me to get things cleaned up, such as the diningroom table...

Have I started a trend?????

 

[goofyforlife]

I'm not talking about the summer jobs. They actually pay less. Most who come here try for the Wawa and supermarket jobs first.

i know my aunt had told me that even their McDonalds pays $7-8 and that was maybe 5 years ago... (My aunt used to live in Surf City.) She lives in Manahawkin now...(on the mainland)

Ahhh i forgot to tell you bad Disr...bad Disr...

I saw those fares this morning and saw that they were more expensive than what they were last week...(ie didn't get cheaper...)

I'm sorry i forgot to tell you...

Did you get tickets?

Oh I wasn't referring to the posts themselves, just you "last one" comment before you posted about 5 more!

I've done it with the girls, but with boys???

Honestly Lisa, I have been trying unsuccessfully for months! Without a desk, I keep mail and such there. It has gotten better since I have passed on the GS stuff. My biggest problem is finding a place for things.

No, they weren't cheap enough to grab and I am still unsure of if Dina will be coming with me or flying with DH. If they were cheaper I would have made a decision right then.

 

[pyramid2000]

And I got DING! to work so you are anything but a bad DISer!

 

[brack]

Wanted to share my happy news...

Today I weighed in at my weight loss goal weight!!! That's 97 pounds lost since last september! Of course I plan to try to lose a few more pounds before the cruise so that I can indulge a little on the desserts and not have to feel guilty gaining a few pounds.

CONGRATULATIONS!
