Time to pull out Nightmare Before Christmas, I could have swore I just put it away

It's on Freeform today.

He does!!! He's not as obsessed with it as I am, but he's always telling people how it's the one place all 4 of us (2 sons) can really have a good time together without someone ending up bored, and he loves the movies and artwork as much as I do, too.

A lady who works for dh asked him why we always go to Disney World and he gave her that exact reason. We are all happy there!

If I left out all the never to be put away movies I'd be hip deep in them

I'm bad at putting the movies in the correct cases.

OMG...my 11-year-old is terrible...and my 6-year-old is notorious for grabbing a DVD and wandering around the house with it after dropping the box in some random place. I'm CONSTANTLY trying to round up DVDs and cases.

It's time for Old Man Winter to check into

AMEN! Although It's raining like heck today, it could be lake effect snow!

Who will be doing the cooking for this holiday?

My daughter. First time cooking for a crowd. She's planned an indoor cookout menu since most everyone will have a traditional meal on Christmas. I'm supposed to sit in the kitchen and keep her company. Oh and help unshell the eggs for deviled eggs. She hates that job.

My mother bought me a "Bamboo" based soft foam pillow. Those help too a lot too.

The name of the product is "Bamboo hotel comfort"

My daughter got a coconut scented memory pillow for her birthday. It helps with snoring from her allergies.

INTERESTING! My husband vibrates the whole house with his snoring! I may have to look into that...

Sounds like fun and a great idea! Kids are enjoying the film so far.

I never had a girl scout cookie experience in my whole life.

Are they really tasty?

The mint thins are awesome. I can eat a box all at once. Samoas are coconut.

RIP Gomer Pyle. I remember my grandma having Jim Nabors records.

It is a cookie. You aren't missing out. The thin mints are good. They are mint flavored chocolate wafer cookies with a chocolate ganache. They also have shortbread which are no different than other shortbread. The lemon cookies are actually really good because they are tangy. I am sure someone on the internet has recipes for any of them. I did buy a copycat thin mint at the supermarket, and I thought it was very comparable in taste.

We made "Ritz thin mints" last year. Melt Bakers chocolate with a little mint extract, dip Ritz crackers until covered, put on wax paper to dry and add crushed candy cane or leave plain.

So.. in case of nuclear apocalypse.. I should buy all the Girl Scout cookies and Twinkies I can get?

Twinkies make me think of Wall-E.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I got sick of replacing them, so we're gradually (VERY gradually) replacing our library with digital copies for streaming via VUDU. My stubborn hubby insists on having hard copies though...and it's driving me crazy because there's such a thing as running out of space for DVDs, lol.

When my ex left I inherited almost thirty movies I didn't want and most had been watched once. I donated them to our library (which is small) and they put them in their collection.

No please tell me that's not true. It's been a bad week

I thought the same, especially because it was on 2 days ago.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

AMEN. I've grown extremely fond of donating and Freecycle (yahoo groups for giving away things). We're planning on moving to FL in the not-too-distant future, and I keep reiterating that I REFUSE to pay to move around 3/4 of the carp we've managed to accumulate, but I don't think it's getting through to him. And I get sentimental things, but some of it is just ridiculous. (For example...who needs 6 jackets/coats that they haven't worn in 20 years?!?) I get that we haven't had much money since our sons were born, but he gets REALLY upset whenever I suggest getting rid of stuff and he refuses to see a therapist. I may have to go Intervention on his butt.

My in-laws moved from a three bedroom house in East Cleveland to a two bedroom apartment in Kokomo, Indiana, and took everything with them. This fall they moved near Camp Pendleton in California and took one small u-haul.

She's allergic to cats, which my mom had two of, so she's always snoring and snorting after hanging out with grandma.

Hubby is basically allergic to...life.

EDIT: Seriously...the list of things he isn't allergic to is shorter than the list of things he is. He is capable of getting used to things though...he was allergic to cats for a long time, but then moved in with me and my cat and it stopped bothering him, so who knows at this point.

It was just on news. I didn't realize his age.
