Checking the onboard oven to see if the pumpkin muffins, gingerbread and cranberry scones are ready yet. Sounds like many of us will be jumping off to Disneyland next week. Can I say that now? NEXT week? Not technically for the meets but I know some of us will be there NEXT week. I can't wait. murfsmom, I'm sending you a big hug for what you and your DH are going through with the business. Changes are tough and this is a biggie. Was it a long time coming type of decision or was it a let's just do this NOW, or maybe it's too personal? Now about this fart machine. I feel like I need to get one for Christmas morning. Seriously, how could I have missed seeing this on a store shelf. <<<<goes back to minding the drink cart and will check back later...........

And then work just came to a halt, we've had slow times but this was the awful , so hubby said thats it, I don't want the paper work any more and we can't keep taking from our personal savings to keep the shop open, So this all has really come about since Nov3rd !! It's been really emotional but has settled down a bit because we have the co. that rents out our back bldg wanting to rent the big one , so thats a major relief because there's no way our place would sell, right now.We have a strong faith and have always been provided for, so I know things will be ok !!

I told him I'm a long standing member of the "naughty" list in the Haunted Mansion" There's a reason for that !!!!!!!!!! LOL p.s. I would like some hot chocolate please !!

I totally understand the front office work being a stickler. We have had many clients throughout the years in your situation of having the bookwork honed to one persons methods. I'm not knocking it as that is what I do too but when it comes to quarterly time it gets messy and expensive if you need someone to "clean" it up. Being able to rent out your building is awesome I'll bet your DH doesn't stay "retired" for long From what you've written about him before I'll bet his skills will be called on and he'll be itching to get back out there Would anyone like a pumpkin spiced latte, tea, hot chocolate or anything else? I'm on the lookout for the fart machine to be used on me as I walk slowly down the aisle 8}

I'll never forget being in the Tiki Room last July sitting next to LS when that darn fart machine started going off. Ah, good times, good times... What will this trip bring??? MORE good times!!! I'll give the codeman all your messages. It makes him smile! Even tho he doesn't say anything, I know he's really looking forward to being with you all again! I'm so glad he likes to hang with all the axe murderers! LOL

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 <<has never watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles all the way through I'm putting it on my "to do" list LOL about the Hallmark and Lifetime channel idea! My mom LOVES them and LOVES to repeat the entire plot of a movie she has just watched Is everyone resting comfortably? Does anyone need more pillows or a blanket, it's getting chilly. When is everyone jumping off to head to DLR? I'm festooning the parachutes with Mickey and Minnie in their holiday best. For those of you who are not jumping, I've made each of you Disneyland holiday blanket and fluffy slippers with your choice of The Fab Five, Pooh and Friend, Villans or Tink. I'm jumping off Tuesday afternoon! One week from today.

Originally Posted By disneylandfan8 How about a "buddy parachute" jump, TX? Oh wait, I'm ditching the plane on Thursday! "PT&A" is one of my favorite movies! Just saw it a few months ago. "Those aren't pillows" is a favorite quote of mine, too! ROFL!

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Ohhh you bought waldorf salad, Can I bring some ambrosia salad too? I make it with sour cream though. I think it tastes better useing sour cream than it does useing whipped cream. I hope I'm not alone on that one.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon disneylandfan8...are those green beans in a casserole? LadyS...ambrosia is good any way you can make it. So is Waldorf salad...unless you use yucky Miracle Whip! *choke, gag* Hope there's lots of Pumpkin pie! I may not share!
