I am trying to order Itty bitty's present from Build-A-Bear.

I love Build a Bear. I've ordered stuff from them and never had a problem. They're too expensive though.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

I've been up since 4. Why? Beats me! confuse

I'm not sure what we'll be up to today.

We'll see! smile

I just woke up.

It looks like we got a couple inches of snow. And DS1 got in a little before midnight.

DH spent 9 hours at the hospital yesterday. That's fine, except this whole drama could have been avoided...

I am so snnoyed at my cousin. She's such a kill-joy

We made plans to go to a movie today. First, she says, let's go to the 4:00 in our town and then get dinner? I suggest the 3:30 over in the city, better dinner choices. She grudgingly agreed. Well, now it's snowing. So she declares "the city is out". And now she doesn't want to go at all. It's 6 hours away! Can't we reserve a decision until closer to the time? Plus, she's already in town and I'm driving to the movie. Wouldn't it be my decision??

On top of this, I picked up my new car last night and was going to surprise her when I picked her up. She is totally ruining that. Yes, I know she doesn't know about the surprise, but it's totally something she would do even if she knew. I half don't want to make a big deal about the car because I am so ridiculously excited and I have a feeling she won't be excited for me - that how she is and it's going to ruin my high.

Ugh. Rant over

I'm excited about your new car! Can you post a picture for us? We'll gush over it, I promise! smile

We're waiting for Care Now to call us back. Poor Jessi is sick as a dog. She was up all night, tossing up. cry

I hope it's just a 24 hour bug.

Divine Geek · Guru

I will post a picture when I'm near my laptop. All my other friends have been excited, hell, even my boss was excited for me to go get a new car. And I could be wrong, maybe cousin will be excited, I'm just trying to prepare.

When I graduated HS, my parents bought me my mustang. I was sooooo surprised and excited. The first place I went was my cousin's house to show her. I go running upstairs to tell her. She just shrugged and said "your sister got a car, we knew you would too". I was crestfallen.

Yup, I agree with IKWTDS.

Obviously your cousin is jealous. That's on her, not on you, DG. Hope to see a pic of your new car soon!

I know that it's her problem, but it still hurts my feelings. It wasn't until I was older that I saw the differences in our, um, situations. since I've been careful not to flaunt or anything. I just hate when what I have worked really hard for gets dismissed because my parents have money.

Good afternoon.

I was feeling better but then dad got up and made coffee. It stinks. Made me sick all over again. Normally it doesn't bother me but this morning it was awful.

So I just forced myself back to sleep.

Now I am having toast with bacon and cheese. Basically a bacon sandwich.

We had ice mostly. But it started raining about an hour ago and now it is all but gone. The roads are about dry because of the wind.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I hate Castleton Mall with a passion...HATE IT.

I ordered a bunny, with a recordable thingie & one outfit.

Hopefully I can figure out how to put the thing inside the bunny.

I thought the point of Build a Bear was for the child to pick it out and build it and it is a memory to share.

It can be, Lily, but she's little & finding a time when we can all go is impossible.

Why does everyone have to go? Why cant you just take her?

And isn't she 2? She would love it.

I don't understand. But what ever.

I am sure she will love it anyway.

Gee, thanks for your approval...

Any 2-year-old would be overwhelmed by the shop. You've never been in one. I have.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Yes I have been in one. more than once.

The whole point is to fill the senses. The sight and sounds and textures. A 2 year old would love it.

Still don't understand why you cant take her yourself either. That just makes no sense what so ever. Most grandmothers have already had over nights by now. Even a weekend. I don't see why 2 hours alone is such a big deal.

But I am sure the reasoning's are good ones.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Soup and sandwiches it is.
It's snowing lightly and getting colder. Soup sounds wonderful!

DG, sorry your feelings got hurt. That is never a good feeling to be snubbed because you worked for something yourself. She needs to get over herself and be happy for you and your accomplishments. That's what a loving cousin would do.

Thanks again, Lily for implying I am a failure as a grandmother...but when I dare to suggest that your grown children make dinner for YOU once in a while, I get crucified.

Really? Most grandmothers? No, not really, depends on the parent(s). They make the rules, no one else gets a voice.

I wouldn't take a 2 year old to a place like that either. A 4 year old, yes. But not a 2 year old.

My dad and I drove into town. Stopped by to see my cousin. She was excited for me (not the same level as Vette was last night, but better than the last time). She also agreed that the roads were better and we can go to the movie in town still. Yay! Bring on Fifty Shades of Grey!!
