DIS Divas Trip! (old thread, see first post for link to new one)

[DisneyStitch626]

I listened to it the other night too. You guys did a great job. Loved it!

4 digits? I can't plan too far out. I never thought of myself as superstitious but I guess I am when it comes to trips. If I plan too far out, I worry something bad will come up that will prevent me from going. These Diva trips are as far out as I plan. But on the flip side, planning does give you something to do and look forward to.
I wish you lived closer!! It's been too long since I've seen you. And, I'd love to see Maddie again and Payson, too!

I love planning. If I could I would be a disney travel agent. I am just too busy with everything in my life. But I think planning trips is so fun...no matter how far out. I love having a trip to look forward to.

Someday...maybe soon, we will have to come through vegas and come say hi! We are planning a visit for sometime next year to California to visit my family. If we drive, we need to have a little meet up! I need to see those girls of yours. They are growing so fast. I think the last time I saw them, they were 8 or 9. Time FLIES!

Good morning, ladies! Or I should say, almost afternoon. This day is flying by. I went to the dentist this morning to be fitted for my partials. (some of you have been reading along on FB about my dental visits lately) Looking forward to just getting it done. I am not a fan of the dentist!
Anyway. Hope you all have a good day.


Ugh, that sucks. Not a good start to the day at all. Although I read your FB status and am glad today is much better.

Our back patio and our car are covered in yellow from all the pollen! At least I guess that's what it is. It doesn't bother me much, but poor Lindsey gets hit hard. Not yet, but she will. Watery eyes, runny nose. I better make sure we have Benadryl.


I added those who went this year, but of course I can add you back on there. The pic I had of you and your mom were so old. Let me know if you'd like a more recent one.





Okay, Maureen. I'll see if I can track you down!

Ugh the pollen is so bad huh? I washed the car Sunday and when I came out to the car on Monday it was covered in yellow pollen and looks like I never washed it

Doing better again today but a bed does sound so inviting. Just seem so tired lately but oh well. I may do some OT here at work as they opened it up for us and for every 4 hours we get a ticket to win a ipad. hmmm

Hello, ladies! Happy Hump Day!

I just wanted to say I listened to the podcast and you all sounded great. Of course we are a fabulous group of women!

You're right, the Divas are a fabulous group! We were all so nervous though. When it was done, we all sort of breathed a collective sigh of relief. lol

I listened to it the other night too. You guys did a great job. Loved it!

If we drive, we need to have a little meet up! I need to see those girls of yours. They are growing so fast. I think the last time I saw them, they were 8 or 9. Time FLIES!

Yes, let me know when you are in CA. We can totally plan to meet you there!

Same here. We washed it Sunday and the next day it was yellow again.

Good luck on winning the iPad! Ruben works this weekend so it's overtime both days. I hate that he has to work so hard, but overtime is REALLY rare for him now. Maybe once every few months, if that. So, we are grateful for the opportunity.

TGIF Divas!

Just checking in and catching up on the thread! Busy weekend for us we are attending an outdoor wedding and of course its calling for rain...boo! I sure hope the bride has a backup plan!

Hubby's b-day is on Sunday too and I am stumped on what to get him this year.....

Hope everyone has a steller weekend!

 

[mommaU4]

Hello, ladies! It's finally Friday. Long week this was.... No big weekend plans for us though. Ruben has to work this weekend, but it's over time which is really rare, so we are happy about it. We might go to the movies one night. I have a gift card from my sister-in-law to use up, and Liam Neeson is calling my name! lol His new movie "Non-stop" looks like it could be good. We'll see.

Well, whatever your plans are, have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Hey, Jennifer! An outdoor wedding sounds nice, although I hope the rain doesn't spoil it. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck.

Speaking of luck... good luck finding a gift for your hubby! I am sure you will think of something wonderful.

 

[pixidustmom]

Well since it's not my Friday as I am going to be working tomorrow happy Friday to everyone else.

Wanted to share a funny. Last night my bff and I were shopping at Costco and decided to grab a snack after at the counter there. We sat and shared a
fat free frozen yogurt and people watched. We noticed a very pregnant woman who was obviously in labor and with her two other kids and husband. She kept getting contractions and we couldn't stop keeping count how often they came.
Then this man sat down with his two boys. One about 5 and the other about 2. The younger one sat on his dad's lap while they eat pizza. I couldn't stop staring as I thought he was HOT like Clark Kent or something. He had on a dress shirt and slacks with the sleeves rolled up it showed his full sleeve tats and he was clean cut too. The tats got me all hot and bothered. My BFF was laughing and said she didn't think it was all that. I beg to differ. She said snap a picture and will ask out friends later. So being the push over I am, I of course did. Then he got up to leave and as he walked away my friend said oh wait he is hot and better from behind. The other big part that melted us is he carried his youngest and held hands with the oldest. OMG
Well needless to say I had some pretty good dreams after that.

Ok well as for the weekend I will have Sunday off and I think we will go to Lake Las Vegas for out very fist time. Weird it's been there forever but we haven't ever been. What's new as I haven't done a lot still.

 

[mommaU4]

LOL Michele, you are so funny. I'm glad you had some nice dreams though!

Let me know what you think of Lake Las Vegas. I haven't been out there since we moved here. Only once when we lived in CA and actually stayed at one of the hotels on the lake. I've been wanting to go back though...

I will let you know how it goes. I hope it's builing back up. They sure got hit hard after the resession huh?

 

[mommaU4]

Happy Saturday, ladies!! It's lovely here!

I know some of you are getting together today at Disneyland to ride Thunder Mountain and then heading over to Knott's to see the Billies. Have a GREAT time! And, for the record, I totally want some of Knott's famous boysenberry pie..... Oh, so good.


My day isn't nearly as fun. Cleaning out closets, but at least it's getting done.

Later gators!

 

[nwdisgal]

I am temporarily out of lurkdom to post... It has been a while since I've been on here but...I just listened to the Dis Diva Podcast and I wanted to say great job to all who did the podcast. I really enjoyed it and I encourage those who haven't had the chance to listen to the podcast.

Michele, I got a kick out of your "site seeing" at Costco. Behave yourself, Lady.

Beth, that pie sounds really good. I have not been to Knotts yet but now you have me craving fried chicken.

My weekend has been spent horsin' around. For those of you who know me on FB you all know I have been seeing a new man in my life Well, he doesn't quite look like that - lol- he's a bit more handsome. So that's what I'm doing this weekend. He's a bit green so we are working on getting him calmed down.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

 

[mommaU4]

Sunday already! Where does the weekend go?? Oh, well, hope you all had a good one.

I thought I'd share more trip pics. Here are just a few of the fun door signs the Divas put up while staying at the Grand Californian.

As you can see, we have some very crafty and creative ladies on these trips.

Hi, Pam. Good to see you here! I love seeing all the pics of your "new man" on Facebook. And yes, he's very handsome.

 

[mommaU4]

Good morning, ladies, and Happy St. Patrick's day! Don't forget to wear your green today...unless of course, you want to be pinched.
Here is a small flash back over the years of some Divas rocking their shades of green.

 

[Belle Ella]

I wont be wearing any green today and if anyone pinches me at work, they're in for some trouble!

 

[mommaU4]

Hello, ladies. I usually write one of these posts after each trip, and haven't really had the time yet, so I thought I'd finally get around to doing so now. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone, but if I did I apologize.... we had a big group!

Despite the big group, some of our Divas weren't able to make it and were missed.....Wendy, January, Tracey, Steph, Kelly, Jodi, and several others. Hope you will all make it next time!
I already gave shout outs before the trip to all the ladies who work hard to make the trip a success, and you know who you are (if you forget you're listed on the first page! ha!) but I wanted to say a general thank you again.
We have a great group here! Looking forward to next year already!!

I didn't get to spend as much time getting to know them as I'd like, but hopefully that will change next time. Becky and Kaitlyn were so sweet, I can see where they get that from. Sarah and Tiffany seem like wonderful daughters-in-law. You lucked out. lol And, I am glad that Sarah also got to bring her sister Jamie and her mom Linda. Having all of you in the mother/daughter pic was really fun! Looking forward to next year!

Jello shots?? Me?? I don't know what you're talking about!

 

[Belle Ella]

Glad you liked the poster! We were hoping to find a few things for prizes that were a little different from previous years and I was thrilled when I came across those. Hopefully we'll be able to score some even more fun things to give out for next year.

 

[toocherie]

And, for the record, I totally want some of Knott's famous boysenberry pie..... Oh, so good.

For the record--it wasn't very good. I left most of it on the plate--not like I remember from years and years ago. The filling was kinda blech-y.

 

[mommaU4]

OKay. We'll go with that.

I'm looking forward to what you guys come up with!

Well, that's disappointing. It used to be so good!
