What?!!! You're a DIVA! You're beautiful no matter what.

I hope you're okay sweetie. If you need to vent or talk or anything, we're all here for you.

Yeah, that was my concern. That the stuff would be "cheap".
Noelle is turning 13 this November and I want to do something nice, but not too expensive for her now that she'll be a teen.
I'm thinking maybe a Twilight/New Moon party since it will be the same weekend the movie comes out. If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Aw, really? That sucks. It's lovely here today!! I opened my windows this morning for the first time since May. And I'm almost done with back to school stuff, thank goodness.

I might head to House of Blues. I liked it there when we went the first trip. The food is good, and it's a fun place. Goofy's seems a bit much for me. I doubt my budget will allow for it.

Sarah, my friend, you know my home number and that I am ALWAYS here for you if you need to vent.

We are using the left over Chippendale tickets! And dinner will be at either RUB or McFadden's.

You know, I just passed a Macaroni Grill yesterday while out doing errands and thought to myself I should give that place a try. I've never been there. Let me know how it is and what's good to order.
Jane and I are going to see Chippendales and eat either BBQ or Irish food. lol We haven't decided which, but they are both in the same hotel.

Speaking of summer being over, I was in Hallmark yesterday picking up some cards, and guess what?!?!?!? They had Halloween stuff out already.

I loved seeing that.

I'm just wondering if anyone is even interested in still going to Goofy's for dinner. We still have plenty of time to change that if we want to. I was thinking if no one is still interested (and nobody has said they still are.......), maybe a character breakfast would be a better idea on that day and then whatever for dinner............... I personally am not a fan of Goofy's for dinner, but I would go if that's what the majority still wants to do - but it seems like a lot of people are going to Napa Rose instead.

I cannot seem to keep up with FB and this thread, I feel so out of touch on here.

I have completely lost track of our tenuous plans, and am too lazy to check it out at this time.

I have found that the character meals while sounding like a blast, really are only okay. I have enjoyed them, but the extra $$$ maybe not worth it. I will join in if that is what we are doing, but am up for other things too. I loved our meal at the carnation cafe as we were seated in little groups and I got to talk to people I really had barely met before.

The character meals are often one long table, so you are shouting and not hearing. But maybe I am just bitter since my experience at Ariels was SO lousy last year.

My Dd still has almost a month of summer, so not winding down for me yet. I have surgery on my stupid knee the 20th, so that is likely the end for me. I HATE being inactive...I will be a pain.

Sorry to hear for bad days, Sarah, had one last week. Cried at work. Makes me feel super adult. Hope it starts to improve for you.

OH, my BIG news, going to WDW in November. Woo hoo. Free dining!!

I will try to get back in the swing of things, Hope all of you have FAB weekends!!!

I've been to Goofy's lots of times, so something different is fine! Someone had mentioned about doing the House of Blues Gospel Brunch on Sunday, I would LOVE to do that.

Macaroni Grill is good, from what I remember, but it's been awhile.

Did anyone notice we're on page 244? Almost time for a new thread!!

Macaroni Grill is good--there's a chicken dish I usually get--it's BIG portions--usually have enough for a couple of days after.

We are wordy girls!

Chefs de France. Cute French waiters. Need I say more?

(Oh, and if you go certain times they apparently have this animatronic rat you can meet too)

Hello Beth, just reading a bit and saw something about your DD B-Day, heres an idea, put up a poster of Edward, cut out paper lips and play Pin The Lips On Edward. I played this as a kid but it was pin The Lips On Ringo. It was lots of fun.

Hey, I was at Ariel's last year What was so lousy, other than some of the company??? Didn't like Ariel's attitude I LOVED it!

It's me again. I'm being a lazy bunny and not working this afternoon. I may take a nap.

Bella got a bath today--she seemed to enjoy it and looks much thinner (I think she was holding on to a lot of hair because her Mommy is not a good mommy and doesn't brush her everyday.)

That would be cute. By the end of the game, Edward would look like he was covered in kisses.
