June, July, August PLANNING thread

[mkymouse4ever]

JMouse, hope things are ok. Hang in there. I am sure your stepdad is just worried. :hug:

[JennMouse32]

No he isn't. That's just him. He is always like that. 24/7. Mom is still not awake and still on the breather. I'm worried. But no one else is....

[Humphrey1227]

Thank you for the well wishes. Hope everyone is doing good. Bug

[JennMouse32]

well I'm back home now. i did see something that made me very happy before i left the hospital though. they finally took the breathing tubes out of mom, so she was breahing on her own. i was really hoping that they would do that before i left.i hated seeing those tubes in her. so thats good. she was talking a bit, but obviously the tubes down her thoart made her thoart sore and scratchy. they were gonna give her som ice chips soon after that. I told my stepbrother to bring her up a themos full of the raspberry lemonade i brought her tommorrow. that would make her happy, help her feel better too... she told us what her doctor said about her stuffed animals. Mom has an obsession with penguins, she brought one with her, and then i bought her 2 more at the gift shop, plus a kitty that looks like one of ours(figured a bit of normal for her with a kitty sleeping on her), the doctor saw all teh penguins and was like " there's been a penguin invasion!" i thought that was funny..

and on another happy note. me and Rob are still doing well.. 2 weeks now, new record for me and being happy in a relationship nonstop... we started talking about our 6-month anniversary, thats how happy we both are, and we are gonna take a 4 day weekend from work and go up to niagrara falls. also something i realized today.. when me and him go on our disney cruise/park trip.. it will be just before our 2 year anniversary.

at least things are starting to look up over on my end.. thank you everyone for al the pixie dust.. it really helped...


how is everyone else doing?

[JennMouse32]

just found out mom has to have a pacemaker put in. im not very happy about that..it scares me alot

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone,

JMouse, So sorry, I know your going through alot. :hug: A pacer is a quick procedure, it just works with the electrical impulses of the heart. Keeps them in the proper rate! It is a pretty routine procedure, compared to what your mom has been through. We even have them in children.

Well, AP rates came out through March 8. So we jumped on the band wagon and plan to now leave march 8 instead of the 9th. Got a pretty good rate and it covers everything except 1 night. Booked again at CR mkv tower. :woohoo: I could not get this on the phone thou. Only online on the ap site. :confused3
Not sure if I can tear Bug away from Jedi & Yoda. :rolleyes1 They are permanently attached to her. Not sure how she will ever go back to work. :sad2:
Already moved our air to that date and car. I got a pretty good rate with national. But the code is from work and you need an id for it. Or, I would share.

This last week has been killer at work. But, the weather is really nice today.
Hope everyone is ok. Hanging in there.

mky :cutie:

i couldnt sleep at all today. its gonna be a horrible night.. he better put me with someone that actaully works tonight at work.im not in the mood to deal with a certain something at work

[JennMouse32]

if nothing else comes up... mom should be coming home today (sunday)...


i was talking to my Aunt carole and its been a bad year for her to.. guess it went around everywhere this year...

[mkymouse4ever]

JMouse, glad to hear you finally have some good news. Hope "mom" is feeling better. I am sure she is happy to be home.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We had summer weather here all weekend. Even turned the AC on again.

Jedi & Yodi, are growing like weeds. Very different having twins. They love each other, then they are fighting. Can be very jealous too. You have to be sure if one gets something the other does to. They are a handful.

mky :upsidedow

[candizfan]

Hi everyone.

JMouse - I am glad your mom is doing better.

MKY - who are the twins? I missed this news in the posts some where? New editions to the house I believe?

We have had wonderful weather the last few days. We are finally have a break from the rain. I did have to put the ceiling fans back on but no AC for us. It is cool enough at night to keep the house confortable.

Work is busy but good. There are a lot of things going on with new equipment and IT projects so things are moving fast. I okayed a scope of work for a new server project on Tuesday and they started on Thursday - this being a small company there are no corporate offices to go through. One meeting with the owner and General Manager to review the plan and they called them and told them to go ahead. :banana:

There was a performance in town that DD13 was involved in this weekend for the McGregor Clan family reunion. I sat in the audiance by an older couple from Chicago and thought of MKY and Bug. :flower3:

I hope Bug is recovering well.

Talk care eveyone.

[mkymouse4ever]

Hi Candi,

Nice to hear from you. Know you've been super busy this year.

We lost Vader 1 month after losing mom. Now we are starting over with 2 brothers (liter of 9) jedi & yoda. They are also german shepherds, but 98% blacks. with a small white spot on the chest. We have never had two so this is so new. But, it has helped to lighten up the house. Keeps everyone busy.

Glad you had some great weather this weekend & congrat's on your work project. :banana:

[JennMouse32]

ugh its been a tough week at work... and with taking care of mom.. not much time to be online... that plus my explorerers suddenly decided to stop working... and then magically start working today, go figure..


on the good side of news.. less than 300 days till mine and my sis's trip to disney... and my boyfriend is getting excited for our trip in 2013.. he is already watching the travel channel shows about it.. lol..

[candizfan]

Happy Belated Birthday TP2!

:bday:

I tried to post a couple of messages last week and the computer kept kicking me off while it was submitting. I expected to see weird posts from me when I got back on today. :confused3

MK - I am so sorry about Vader. :sad1: We have a 58 pound Shepard/Retriever (and a couple others) and she is such a great dog. I am glad the pups are helping to lighten the mood a bit. You and Bug have had a very difficult year. :hug:

JMouse - keep your chin up and never talk nasty about the Explorer while you are near it. I swear the car can hear you and will break down to get back at you. :rotfl:

[tripplanner2]

Hey everyone...just checking in to say hello. Jmouse...so sorry about all with your mom. Hope she is home and recouping now.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I have been so busy with school that I have not even had a chance to celebrate. We went out for pizza on Saturday but no cake or anything. Bogged down with school work and the kids.

Hope everyone is doing well. Miss things around here. No time to catch up but wanted to say that I was thinking about everyone.

yeah she is home, came home last sunday.. she had her good times and bad times... which is really to be expected....

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone,

We are so so busy here. When I am not at work > I'm with the "babies" "twins" pluto: pluto: They are so much work. And alot of shopping. We are ok for one, but need to double everything.

Candi, thanks, yes, its already been a long year. Looking forward to 2012 and getting out of 11. You pluto: sound like a good mix. ;)

TP2, miss you too. Work hard at school. :teacher: We know your super busy.

Tomar, :flower3: :hug:

EE22, you too. :hug:

JMouse, sounds like mom is doing better. Hang in there. And listen to Candi, she is an "experienced" car person. :wizard:

Wow, October is almost over. Whew... . .. .

mky :upsidedow

[JennMouse32]

yeah mom has her good times and bad times... but her wounds are healing up very well. so thats good..



me and rob were talking more about our disney vacation.. the cruise & park 2 week long one.... since they just released the dates for 2013 cruises. im thinking we are gonna take the one on Sept 7th. get back on the 14th and go to the resort and parks for a week. less people whiche will be nice.. shorter lines and everything.. im guesstimating its gonna be around $6,000 total.. but im guessing well worth it.. the ship is the new one the Fantasy, so that will be neat to be on the new ship.. well year old by the time i get on it.. but still.. depending on how much it is when i am able to see how muchthe cruise is with the resort and tickets in it, i might get the tickets from work.. i can get them for $50 less.. come march-ish we will have almost a $1,000 dent in that, since instead of going to Niagrara falls for our 6 month we are gonna take that money and set it aside for our disney trip.. its about $450 each..

Hi Everyone!

Halloween is coming fast! My dear friend Alice - who came with us to Disney in 2010 is turning 90 on Halloween! :banana: She was 88 when we went with my mom and her friend.

Alice wanted a ride on the new motorcycle so DH picked her up at church and took her home on Sunday since it was a nice day. She giggled all the way home. She is an incredible women. :cheer2:

We had nice weather this weekend but it will probably turn cold just in time for the kids Trick or Treating.

MKY - I will pray you have a boring 2012! It would be a pleasant change from all the change you have had. Give the dogs a belly scratch for me.

wow 90?! thats great! sadly most people dont make it that long..and shes still that active even better!!


once again 2011 has been bad... rob dumped me.. somehow he couldnt do it anymore.. which no clue what he was talking about, because i dont actually consider going out once "trying" but not really anything i can do about it..

but on the up side yesterday my old friend Ronnie came over. i hadnt been able to see him when he was married, one of those girls that wont let him talk to any girls at all without freaking out that he is cheating on her, funny part about that is though, ive known her and been friends with her longer than him, so she should have known better with me. but yeah they are divorced now. so we spent all yesterday catching up and all that. it was great.. he cheered me up..

[candizfan]

Hi JMouse

Sorry to hear about the boyfriend. It can be hard but we ladies have all been there.

You are young and should be dating and having fun at this time in your life. Go out and have a good time without looking to meet Mr Right. That is usually when you will find out more about what you really want in a man and what you don't. :hug:

Hang in there.

[JennMouse32]

eh its alright. I mean yeah im upset.. but there isnt really anything i can do about it. so no sense on dwelling on it. it really helped when my friend Ronnie came over monday and spent some time with me. its been years since we have seen each other due to his now ex wife. one of those types he couldnt talk to ANY othe girls without her freaking out. so it was nice catching up with him.
I was telling my sister all about ronnie coming over and us catching up and all that. her first thing was about me and ronnie hooking up. told her i appricate her trying, cuz i know she wants me to be happy, but its a bit too soon. and me and ronnie are just catching up in the first place..

Thanks Tomar. Here I thought I'd get out of it quietly this year;)
My 29th should be good!:rolleyes:

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone,

I am sooooooooooooo behind,

EE22 :cheer2: :bday: :cheer2: sorry I am late. Hope it was great. and you look younger every year. :thumbsup2

JMouse, Sorry about your situation. :hug: Glad mom is better.

Tomar, :wave: :hug: glad to see you on the computer. :surfweb:

TP2, :yay: sorry I missed your big day too.

We are all ok here. Bug, is doing alot better. She is working hard in therapy. A little worried about moving into the holidays. Not to sure how that is going to go.
On a better note, the "boys" are huge now 3 months old. And running the house. Keeping everyone crazy busy. :dog2: & :dog:

Happy weekend, mky:upsidedow

[candizfan]

Hi Everyone

Happy Birthday EE22 party::bday:party: So I am late!

MKY - I am glad to hear that Bug is on the mend!:dance3: Also, that the "boys" are being boys and keeping you on your toes. I am sure the holidays will be hard. Hopefully you will make it through them okay. :grouphug:

Well, we are busy starting to plan out trip in May to WDW. We have nine of us going. My sister, her husband and their nephew (his side), our nephew and his girlfriend (3 years now) and then my family of four. Everyone is very excited. We have our plane tickets and our rooms booked at the AKV. DH and I have a conceirge level booked for us and the rest are going to stay in a two bedrom savanna view. :cheer2: We will have a washer and dryer in the 2BDR so we can cut down on the luggage for everyone.

I am trying to get creative with how to get everyone to the airport. I have a couple quotes for shuttles but they are $360 plus tip! Maybe there is another way? Any ideas anyone?

What about places that are great to eat at but not very expensive? The kids (19 and 21) have to pay for their own food as part of the deal. We covered the room but they have to pay for the rest.

[EEyorelover22]

Thanks!
Un-birthday...moving backwards now:lovestruc

I really hate to say off site for food, but within 2 miles of AKV there are a lot of places to eat and Super Target is very close too. You turn left instead of going straight...didn't know if your shuttle was at WDW though.

We go Shop does delivery and I also hate to say cook...but it saves too.

And, breakfast and lunch are cheaper than dinner at some places.

[TOMAR@SSR]

Thanks Tomar. Here I thought I'd get out of it quietly this year;)
My 29th should be good!:rolleyes:
Nope, no getting away with it quietly ....Not a chance !! :banana:
Hope it was a Magical day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angel:

[mkymouse4ever]

Happy Saturnday, :yay:

Candi, are you talking about your home to airport? I would check a stretch limo and see if that is a better price. Or minivan rented just for your party? Or meet up at the airport. Let them get there own ride. ;) :lmao:
If your talking Orlando > I would send them with magical express and if your renting a van to use during your trip > then you and your family take that?

EE22, yes Lots and Lots of places near akl.

mky :upsidedow

[candizfan]

Hi ladies!

EE22 - the dreaded "cook" word - really! :scared1: :rotfl: But you are right. The kids can feel free to cook all they want to. :lmao: I will stock up on hamberger, spaghetti sauce and noodles!

So the Magical Express is arranged for the entire party. We rented a small car for grocery runs but not a van due to the price for the week. We won't use it that much. The dilema was on how to get from home to the airport and back.

I am checking limos to the airport but after talking to my neighbour, we may have a plan. We can take 5 in my sister's car and they can park at the airport. My neighbour has a truck that the four of us can go in and we can fill the back with the bags that won't fit in my sister's car and our bags! I usually pay around $160 for a ride to and from the airport because we can't fit the luggage in my car so we will pay him for taking all of us. He just retired, so it will be a bit extra $$ for him and should work for us. :cool1:

I looked at limos but my sister won't want to pitch in and the 400 is more than I want to spend. I will probably help the kids out with at least one nice dinner (character maybe) so I will save the money for that.

My DD13 has been sick since Wednesday and we ended up at a Clinic, on the phone with Telehealth (phone nurse) and both told us to take her to the ER. Government insurance is great but if you take a kid to the ER with a virus, they think you are crazy so you need to be sure that they need to go or you wait for hours on end. She has been diagnosed with pneumonia. They put her on Clarithromycin 500mg and she is only 98 pounds so she now has an upset stomach to go with it. :eek:

[JennMouse32]

im sorry to everyone's bdays that i've missed.. i dont know anyone bday here!! so belated birthday wishes to everyone i missed!!


.
on a happier note i might be having someone old/new in my life... I've known him for years and has been a good friend(Ronnie).. but now it might turn to something more.. who knows..

me and my sis are anxious for our vacation right now. even though its still 266 days away..

since ive been talking to ronnie again. i see how sad he is.. life has really screwed him over. and i want to cheer him up. He has never been to Disney. so what I'm thinking is maybe a surprise trip to disney for me and him. and if he gets this job with me, i put in all sorts of good words for him, and he filled out an application, the time we would be able to go wouldnt be till later than i normally go.. but...i would be able to do one of my disney dreams..so that would be great.. and Ronnie really needs to cheer up and have some fun.. i hate seeing him like that. what do you guys think?

Jmouse, Take it slow, and let things go gradually. It is nice that you are excited about him and taking an interest in helping him, but you are just out of something as he sounds like he is to > so enjoy this early part of your relationship. {{ You don't want a rebound guy > they never work out. }} ;)
So don't make him one. :thumbsup2 Good luck, happy for you [and him]

Hope everyone had a good weekend. My asthma is kicking into high gear, so Candi I believe your daughter got sick easily. Can they change the antibiotic? That is very hard on your gut and I am guessing 10 days to weeks? Remember, She will sound "worse" but that is what your going for. > Pneumonia needs to break up and come out > So she will be coughing more and mucousy > means your getting better. Keep her well hydrated that will help with the pneumonia and the "gut" issues. :thumbsup2

mky:cutie: So looking forward to double digits :dance3:

[candizfan]

MKY - as always I knew I could count on you for your great advise. She is doing better already! :woohoo: The second day on the medicine and her tummy was doing better, so we are waiting it out since it is working. She goes to the pediatrician for a recheck in a couple of weeks.

She has the best doctor ever! He is a teacher at the medical school here, and also the Dean and he still keeps a small practice going. He really is remarkable and I think you would love him as he is good to the kids, parents and staff.:flower3:

JMouse - MKY gives great advise. :grouphug:

[JennMouse32]

oh i know i'm not rushing into anything. ive told him that. and he understands.. he feels the same way too.. i had to tell my sis that also... she said how me and him would make a good couple.. told her i wasnt ready yet.. Me and ronnie are enjoying each other's company.. but he is still my friend.. and i hate seeing him so upset.. and going to disney, getting away would get his mind off things, and hopefully cheer him up.. thats where my mind is , on cheering him up..

[mkymouse4ever]

Candi, glad she is on the mend. :thumbsup2 Those kind of md's are good and bad. When they leave or close the practice no one can fill there position. Your spoiled. ;) But, good for you now, especially with her sick. :sick:

JMouse, WTG! :wizard: ;)

Busy week here. And nasty weather. Raining & cold. The babies do NOT like rain. Cannot get them outside. And I wish they where on the "new" clock schedule. I was off today and they where up wayyyyyyyyyyyy to early.

mky:cutie:

[EEyorelover22]

Cold and Rainy here too mky...we are due to have snow.
YUCKO!! it wasn't bad this morning, but now the temp has dropped.:rolleyes:

[mkymouse4ever]

ee22, yep, they said rain most this week. Leaves are all over. Lets hope we don't get snow. :scared1: ;)

[candizfan]

MKY and EE22 - if you have rain then it is heading this way. It was so here today but I can see it coming to an end. My allergies are bad with all the leaves on the ground and it will only get worse as they start to biodegrade.

Too funny about the boys not liking the rain. My Ginger hates to get wet and she is part water dog! :laughing: At times I have to go stand in the rain with her to get her to go out.:confused3 She will actually walk around puddles when out for a walk.

As for being spoiled, yep I am. I lucked out with the doctor and the babysitter when they were little. I had the same sitter (excpet for before and after school times) from the time DD16 was 11 months old until they didn't go any more. She continued to take them on school holidays and in the summer until just a few years ago. I was truly blessed and I appreciated her and all she did. I was lucky to have someone who loved my kids so much.

I was never able to give much extra at Christmas each year, but when the kids didn't have to go any more, we paid for her and her husband to have 6 nights at Disney. We did a value resort, flights, park tickets and the meal plan for them. It was the best gift I have ever given. She spent 10 months planning every detail of the trip and it was remarkable! She deserved every moment of it. :hug:

[EEyorelover22]

This storm seemed to move north through WI and upper MI.
The sleet woke me up this morning hitting the windows. EEK!!!
There is some snow that stuck, but not a lot. It's been pretty warm here up until the last few days so I think this one went by...but I think parts of IA and WI really got hit...but I haven't watched the weather yet this morning.

[tripplanner2]

So I have been hiding under a rock!!!

I feel so awful...missed EE22's birthday.:headache:

April cannot come soon enough!:rolleyes::teacher::rolleyes:

[EEyorelover22]

I didn't have a birthday so you didn't miss A THING!:rotfl:

[JennMouse32]

I didn't have a birthday so you didn't miss A THING!:rotfl:

lol.. thats what i heard.. after a certain age birthdays no longer count right??:yay:

work has been keeping me so stressed out. we have been getting hammered with so much freight. we have it coming out our ears!! i know its the holiday season and everything.. but its much worse than last year was. everyone at work agrees so far.
Other works news. My manager of 5+ years left our store, he went back to Florida, at a Gainsville store. Patrick, or PAtrcia as i usually called him... he had his jerky moments when i was so ticked off at him. But i know im gonna miss him. and the whole fact he is going to Flordia where i want to be.. ya know.. especially when the winter coming.. so not far. we had cake and ice cream, and we went around took ppl's pics and made him a big poster saying best wishes and all day, had a card for him, and we all chipped in and bought him a watch for a going away present. they called everything into the break room, we gave him the watch, he was giving a little thank you speech and how much he was gonna missed us, and all that.. And everyone could tell he was holding back tears.. his face was getting red, he was choking up.. it was sweet. then he was leaving at6, an hour early. i caught up with him. He gave me a hug sayin good bye and told me to make sure i kept in touch.. i told him of course, i can bug him on facebook. Its sad i will miss him, as much as he did annoy me at times.. i will miss him. he was the type you could cuss with and flip him off and everything and not get into trouble.. plus he stood up for me againest another manager that kept trying to get me into trouble. so i appricated that alot. and when me and Kay go to disney next year.. i told her we need to make a side stop at Gainsville to surprise him.. its right on our way anyways.. thinking about getting a card then for everyone to sign too.. i bet he would like that




on other things disney... I found out how much the myshare will be from work. $450.. so that will leave me $350 left to pay on disney after Dec8th... not much left to pay off it will be great!! we are getting soooooo excited..

on mine and Ronnie's Trip.. I'm thinking about going for my birthday in 2013.. its Dec 12th.. mainly because i want to see the castle all decorated for Xmas.. I've seen pics and it just looks sooo amazing!! i want to see it in person! plus i want to have nice weather for my birthday for a change instead that evil S-word... Ronnie is all for it. I told him he needs to come over so we can watch the disney vacation planner dvd... maybe that will cheer him up a bit..

happy thanksgiving everyone!!





and the sickness bug hits me again! ugh! felt like such crap last night (tuesday). everything that could hurt hurt

first sinuses, all clogged and my head felt like it was gonna explode. then at work monday night i hurt my chest.. it may not look bruised but it sure does feel like it. then i must have slept on my right shoulder wrong or pulled something or something cuz thats what that pain felt like.. and on top of that my back has been killing me the past few days.. so yeah i called into work. figured tonight was better than calling for black friday or going in on black friday and being crabby to customers. im sure work would rather me have called in tonight as well.. its now 2am.. and i feel much better.. my pain is gone, for the moment anyways.. im mostly unstuffed and no head pounding.. so so far i call it a success. i think that stress from black friday played a huge part in all this.. but thats just a theory..

[TOMAR@SSR]

Tomar, back at you !

:hug: :flower3:

[EEyorelover22]

The Windy City traffic is brutal the night before Thanksgiving!!:scared1:
DH and DD might be home before midnight, but I'm thinking not.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Hope everyone is doing ok. Thanks for all the well wishes. Back at work this week. Mickey got out of making the dessert by buying a cooked pumpkin pie. I'll have to get her to do something else (clean green onions) for me for dinner tomorrow. Have to go to a website to remember how I tucked the wings last year. Bye, Humphrey

[EEyorelover22]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Glad you are doing better:cool1:

[candizfan]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I think I could smell all the turkey cooking across the river today! It made me jealous. :goodvibes

I am glad Bug is feeling better and I use the same receipt that MKY does when baking a pie. :lmao:

I wish I had the energy for Black Friday shopping but I just don't have it in me. The line ups at the border here will be hours long of Candians coming home with their sleighs full of goodies.
:cheer2:

Cheers!

[JennMouse32]

happy late thanksgiving to everyone!!

happy black friday ( now that its over for me) ugh.. last night was terrible at work.. after getting off at 7am thursday morning, i only ended up sleeping an hour or so, and had to be in work at 7:30pm to stand around and do nothing till midnight.... least i got to leave at 4:30am, so i have a few extra hours for sleeping for work tonight..

2 more weeks and my disney bill goes down by over half!! cant wait!:cheer2:.. actaully i do have extra money on this check.. so i just made a $50 payment on it.. so after the myshare money on my next check.. i will only have $300 left to pay!! yay!!and its not due till June 17th!

[EEyorelover22]

TOTAL INSANITY for Black Friday!!
DD and TP2 I know were out in it...BRAVE SOULS!!

[mkymouse4ever]

Happy Black Friday,

thought I might shop online. ;) not brave her anymore. Bug, working today and I work 4 12hr shifts in the next 5 days. :scared1: If that doesn't kill me I get a 4 day weekend off!!!! :banana:

We had a nice thanksgiving. And looking forward to left overs today. :thumbsup2

Good luck shopping, mky :upsidedow

[JennMouse32]

i only worked black friday and i feared for my life!

[EEyorelover22]

The mall was packed today when I had to take DD for a haircut. No other day to do it while she is home! CRAZY!!!

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone,

We are at 100 days today but, bug is still waiting to get her vacation approved. And at this point looking questionable. :sad2: Send some pixie dust that gets resolved. Ugh. Trying not to get upset. Things happen.

I got our small tree up and decorated outside just a couple of things. But, no shopping so far. Probably will do that fight this weekend.
Just put up our small table tree, doubt the boys will stay away from it, so didn't do our big tree.

Really windy here today. Everything is blowing. Hoping it blows the possible snow east [sorry you guys].

mky :upsidedow

[EEyorelover22]

I hope DL11 is ready for the wind of Chi Town!!!!

Fingers crossed for Bug and the vacation!:cheer2: I hope it works out for your trip. That is sad:sad1:

i shall send 5 tons of pixie dust.. to cover his bosses in!! lol when i put my vacation in i bug the hell out of my bosses till they approve it.. even if its 6 months in advance.. first come first serve!! try telling them everything is already paid for.. might work..


mom went to the doctor's today. they checked teh pacemaker they put in, and so far so good.. it hasnt needed to do anything really.. meaning her heart is doing what its suppose to. which i am very happy over..

next thursday is when i get the myshare from work.. and disney will be down to $300.. which i think is very doable by June 17th.. lol

[mkymouse4ever]

:grouphug: Thank you, Thank you! :grouphug:

It worked, she found out before coming home today, it is APPROVED. I guess they just wanted to scare us. :scared1: So we are a GO! :banana:

EE22, your right you better check on DD. She might of blew away up there.
We want to go to Macy's [state st] & hit the walnut room again, this week sometime. Will see if that works out. After tommorrow, I am off till monday. ;) 1 good thing about working these 12hrs. :confused3

JMouse, You are a champion saver! Wow, that is great. I guess, Walmart must pay more than I thought. :idea: Or, you are very frugal. :woohoo: for mom doing so well. :woohoo:

Tonight, waiting for Rudolf to start. Its not xmas season till I watch that.

So glad bug got vacation approved!! its always excited when you know for sure your off work and all set to go..

im frugal when it comes to disney.. i was just talking to a friend of mine about it last night at work. in my mind, not going to the movies, or eating out.. or buying that pair of shoes, that i can deal with.. because going to disney is much better and worth not doing or getting those things.. besides.. our store has been doing really well.. and every quarter, depending on how our store does we can get a myshare.. the price varies. and by the time next week comes around all but $500 (altogether) of the $2,200 that the trip is costing has come only from the myshares.. so techincally ive only paid $500 out of pocket money..since the myshare is extra money i dont count on.. and.. hmm.. i just thought of something.. that out of pocket money might go down more... taxes are in a few weeks.. i can probably pay off disney with that.. that would put it down to about $200 out of pocket


Hey mky, whats that 2nd counter for?

[EEyorelover22]

EXCELLENT!!! so glad it worked.

Love the Walnut room at Macy's. DD does not have class right now...just training, but it takes most of the late morning to early afternoon. I hope you have fun!! She knows what stop to take to get there now. She is in love with Nordstrom's the Rack:goodvibes When we went the first time she said...I don't know where Macy's is and I said...right there ;) it takes up the entire block. I was really turned around taking the el there that's for sure...we were down a lot farther than I thought we were.

[JennMouse32]

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!!!



Friday my new boyfriend(Ronnie) is coming over and we are gonna start planning our December 2013 trip to disney. he is the one i wanted to cheer up with a disney trip, and last night he asked me to be his girlfriend:lovestruc, so yeah we are together now....
Im gonna make him watch the vacation planning guide with me. He has never been to disney. so it will be interesting.. he is already excited for it too.. we were talking on the phone about it last night a bit. he really likes the 80 degree weather. lol i do too.. considering ive never had a warm birthday (12-12):wizard:

[JennMouse32]

Friday was great!! me and ronnie sat down and watched the DVD and discussed our trip.. he is already anxious to go.. im pretty sure i got him attached to the pop century like me and sis are.. so thats one part of the trip decided..still trying to decide for how long i want to be down there.. the normal week and a half or the full two weeks.. still a ways away but still and thinking about throwing the Universal studios into it too.. i think he would love that too..

things feel so comfortable with him...its nice not having to pretend or act like someone im not with him..:lovestruc and this is sound weird but i never understood what ppl mean when they say their partner is their best friend.. but i think im beginning to understand it..

[mkymouse4ever]

Happy Belated Birthday JMouse! :banana::banana:

MKY - I just read this news on the DVC board. I thought of you right away!


Villas in the works for Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

"Disney Vacation Club is developing an estimated 147 villas as part of the previously announced expansion of Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Estimated to open in late 2013 near Disney's Wedding Pavilion, the resort's slated to become the 12th Disney Vacation Club property.

"We continually look for ways to expand Disney Vacation Club by creating resort experiences that our Members will love," said Claire Bilby, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Disney Vacation Club. "With the continued popularity of Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, we are thrilled to offer our Members and Guests a new resort option along the monorail beam with easy access to the Magic Kingdom Park, as well as a variety of shopping, dining and recreation experiences."

[EEyorelover22]

JMouse...hope it was a good 4 day weekend birthday!!!

Congrats on the double digits MKY! that is exciting.

[JennMouse32]

thank you.. its was great.. spent alot of time with my boyfriend..


but some news on mine and sis's trip.. school starts on august 6th, which is werid, school here tends to start the 2nd week in august and in the middle of the week... so we are both confused on that part. and she wants to be here with her son for his first day of school, very understandable.. so i gotta see if i can move up our vacation a few days.. hopefully i can.. i guess if need be, if i cant change the dates i can get my boyfriend to go. but i really would like to go with my sister again.

update: i did my research now and discovered that if its 44 or less days till arrival there is a $50 fee, so im assuming if over 44 days there is no fee.. and with me planning so far in advance might come in handy here, and there will be no fee for changing the days.... we are looking at July 24-August 5th

another thing i thought on is. moving up mine and Ronnie's vacation to disney.. i can wait to see the lights till we move down there..but i love the ultra short lines in beginning of september. Its great that time of year.. no waiting.. only time it gets busy during that time is after 4pm!! so thats a pretty good day long of no-almost no waiting time..not to mention cheaper.. lol

[mkymouse4ever]

jmouse, you must have a package. That is one of the reasons I dislike packages. Room only > cancel 5 days before for full refund. ;)
You are really in planning mode. So, your planning on moving there with ronnie? How exciting.

i do have a package... but its still over 200 days in advance.. so thank gawd for my planning.. lol..


yeah.. probably after we have our disney trip, a few months later we will go down on a none disney trip(OMG! is there a such thing?!!?) and look at apartments and such.. he gets out of the military on march 25th 2014.. and he wants the hell out of here.. and he hates the cold and snow as much as i do!! we pretty much dream of living in Florida..:dance3:


update: well i will probably have to call disney back.. its another $265 more than what i already had... but i looked at my vacation planning guide from disney and its not in a different season, its the same one as i had before so i dont understand why its more..

[Mommytobree]

Is this the thread for Aug 2012?

[mkymouse4ever]

:yay: Happy Sunday! :yay:

JMouse, Not sure why either, I would call and ask. Happy Planning. :wizard:

[mkymouse4ever]

JMouse, we are far from rich. My secret is certainly GREAT planning & savings. I am offered ALOT of Overtime [way more than I like] That is definately a plus. Also we choose what to spend on during the year. Skip movies or activities during the year to save. My job = nurse. But being single income > it is a lot of strategy. ;)

well there goes it for me.. they dont offer us overtime.. we have to take all overtime off.. so yeah... anytime they ask me to stay over or work an extra day... i always ask if i can keep it, if i could i would sure take it.. but if not.. forget it..

nope..

[mkymouse4ever]

Its alot of work, but something to think about. Even 1 class a week at Jr. College is so worth it. Opens up your choices. Nursing is still a career, obtainable from Junior college and the pay is soooooooooooo much better now then when I started. And you can get a job just about anywhere. Just something to think about. :confused3

But, someday I aspire to be the walmart greeter. With no ones life in my hands. So it is a trade off. ;)

hey im actually working on that!! working on paying off my charges, got one paid off so far..

and with the job i have now i know i can just get a transferr to a store down there..

[candizfan]

Hi JMouse

MKY gives good advise. ;) You are young and could make a more comfortable life for yourself with more options open and school does that. :flower3:

I work as a planner/scheduler/production manager and it pays pretty well. :goodvibes

We have to plan to spend carefully during the year and get any discounts we can to maximize our dollars. That dang money tree in the yard is not blooming dollars yet! :lmao:

My favorite resort is Animal Kingdom Lodge. We own the Disney Vacation Club and they built a resort at that location a few years back. Then they build at the contemporary and they are now going to build at the Grand Floridian soon. I will definately being staying there when it is done. :cool1:

Only one week till Christmas and I have been fighting a virus for three weeks now! :sick: It is all in my head. I had an infection after the first week and finished the antibiotics and all the green stuff is gone but the virus lives on.... rrrggg. I am sick of being sick! My tree is not up and I have only half of my shopping done!:mad: I hear that it is hanging on with everyone that has it. My lungs feel okay so I am lucky that way.

the main thing right now is i do really want to move to florida.. and im working on that right now. paying off my charges, got one paid off already.. each pay off im looking at as another step towards moving there... nd with the job i have right now.. when i go to florida i can just transferr to a store down there, so instead of having to go there and search for a job i can already have one lined up.. so im fine with that job right now..


have you gone to the doctors? if not.. you should there are some pretty nasty things going around right now..might have to be on some type of antibiotics..

[tripplanner2]

Happy Belated Birthday Bug!!!:goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes

2012 is going to be a great year for everyone. I can feel it.;) And as MKY said, it has to be better!+

I would love to hear about pin codes for July! I am gonna need to check out every e-mail address I have to see if one popped in someplace!

Have a great New Year everyone!party:

[mkymouse4ever]

Happy New Year! 2012!

EE22, we are going over everyone's spring break :sad: :scared1:
March is c r a z y !! But, might be our last march. Our work request used to go march to march, now will be jan to jan > so looking forward to maybe april or may? Would love it a bit warmer, and less rain. Not to mention away from spring break [and hopefully easter crowds].

TP2, does this mean you are looking into July? not august?

Tomar, hoping your cold is doing better. :hug:

Candi, sorry about your PC. Sorry santa didn't send you a new one.
I wanted a tablet but, will have to shop for that myself. :rolleyes: ;)

JMouse, Hope things are better at work.

Planning wise, we looked over our adr's again today and thinking about a couple of adjustments. But, any changes would be in the "new" policy. :eek: We had a few buffets but seems the prices are really outrageous for some of these. And with just adults > you really don't get that much character interaction. Most just autograph and picture > move on...... I can see paying $$$ for citrico's or the tea's but 40.00 each for 1900 parke faire, not that interested in, nor would we eat that much. I would rather pay for a nice [quiet ] meal.

Did you guys see the "big" announcement. leap year 24hrs and the free day thing. We do fit over the time a couple of days but, it would knock me off of the last ap rate > and I doubt i can get a better deal than that right now > if I changed to some kind of 3 day package. For march I have an ap rate at CR that starts for us on march 8th > but that is the last day of the offer. Somehow it went for our whole 2 weeks, although I thought they stopped doing that. It went through the computer so I booked it and haven't looked back. ;) Its a great deal I pulled for the 2 weeks. {prime time} :wizard:

So any other planning info?

mkyprincess:

[mkymouse4ever]

Had to post this here. This is my 5000 th posting on these boards. :hyper2: shows either how long I have been on here or I have a very limited life. :lmao:

I actually have more, I was on here earlier and thru different computers / email addresses and forgetting my passwords > wound up with starting over. :confused3

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. The Bears even won. :crazy:

Feeling better mky :cutie:..thank you for asking !! :hug:
Congrats on your 5000th post !....:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:
About the new promo- I think that the AP rate is the best offer :angel:....Id stick with it !! :flower3:
Yes...the buffet pricing is becoming really out of this world :eek:...for that reason ,Mr. Tomar and I have been doing the DDP for the last year, and will again this year with the Kiddos coming down for a week !!:goodvibes
Besides the TS meal, its gives a QS option and snack as well...We enjoyed the variety of it last summer..;)
The only thing we have to concentrate on is ....NOT getting charged the $10.00 penalty fee if we have to cancel an ADR less then 24 hours in advance , or are a minute late arriving at a restaurant ! UGH ! :scared1:

[tripplanner2]

MKY: Congrats to you on 5000 posts. I am WAYYYYY behind!!!

Dh has a friend that is looking to rent out his points for DVC so we are working on that but still don't have a week. He is only asking $800 for the week for a 2 bedroom unit at the Boardwalk. I have no clue how that is working but I will take it. Bonus trip to the world that we were not counting on. Not sure if we will have any cash with me being out of work so we may just be driving down and eating pizza all week! I don't really care. We only have one park ticket too, left over from a package a few years ago. I think I am going to look into the tickets that you buy that are connected to classes. Have to look into those though.

Tomar: So happy to see that the kids are coming down again. I agree aboout the DP. That was the big downside for me with renting the unit. We cannot get the DP. I of course like the DP for free because it costs us $220 per day for the plan. We shall see. Seems like a lot but maybe if I get a job we will just suck it up. Otherwise, with a 2 bedroom we will have a kitchen so we can easily make a couple of meals to offset the food cost.

Yes but we may go and just sit by the pool. Still will be fun. Can go to DTD, mini golf, restaurants, plenty of stuff to do without really hitting the parks. We shall see. As we have cash we will buy more.

TP2- I think a day "doing nothing at Disney" :woohoo:...is sooo much better than even one busy day at home !! :crazy2:
Mr. Tomar and I love to sit by the pool, and since we will be at same resort , we may be basking in the same ray of sun !!! :goodvibes:beach::goodvibes
The Mini golf is just a walk away over the bridge, and honestly, just "Streetmosphere" on the boardwalk some nights.... is fun !! :goodvibes

[tripplanner2]

So no DW for us this year.:sad: I guess he sold his points to someone in the family during the break.:scared1: I guess it just was not meant to be this year. Hope everyone else has a wonderful trip though.:goodvibes

Thanks Tomar.:hug: I think it was just not in the cards for this year.:guilty:

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone, :yay:

Thanks everyone for the congrat's. I hadn't even realized I had so many. Post a little on transport board and theme park board, but most are from years ago, now its pretty much just here. ;)

TP2, OOOoooooohhhhh, I am sooooooooooooooooo sorry. That was a bad "teaser". Sorry your all dissappointed. I agree with tomar, that was a super deal. You never know, something could show up. Are you entering that contest they got going?

Tomar, glad your feeling a little better. :hug: Your right. I would certainly sit at a wdw resort all day and not do parks. No problem. You still have all the things we don't always have time for. Or feel guilty for doing and "wasting park time". ;) That great atmosphere. Ugh........ :wizard: Oh yeah.

EE22, Totally weird weather. 10 degrees yesterday and today 40. :confused3 At least I was off and NO RAIN finally. :)

mky:cutie:

[EEyorelover22]

:confused3Very Weird Weather! Tomorrow it's going to be 50!
I am still freezing so I am not sure what I'd do if we were having a real winter:confused3

[mkymouse4ever]

ee22, :lmao: ;)

[lisam427]

we would like to go august 20th thru 27th. we want to stay at a moderate-either riverside or carribean beach. keeping my fingers crossed for free dining.

[candizfan]

JMouse - Wow! Congratulations! :banana:

TP2 - I am so sorry the trip fell through. :grouphug: Hopefully something else will come up for you.

MKY - I agree with the price of some of the meals! :scared1: And at times the food is not fabulous. I would rather have a table service meal for $40 than buffet. Even the price of the dinning plan is going up with less being offered each year. I guess they have kept other prices down so that is where they are going to get us. :eek:

Tomar - glad you are feeling better.

We are now 120 days from our May Disney trip with the neice and nephews!

[JennMouse32]

Thank you guys so much. I'm pretty excited. My first engagement. I really couldn't be happier with Ronnie. He is everything I could ask for and much more I know that sounds so cliche.

But right now I'm sad. He has to go to drill this weekend. But as if that wasn't bad enough. On a normal drill weekend he is only there during the day and can come home. But oh no not this time. He has to stay overnight. I've never felt more lonely in my life. Barely can stop crying.

Jmouse, Ronnie might not appreciate reading "this is your first engagement". ;) Your not planning more than one I hope. ;)
Just kidding. He will be home soon. Does he qualify for shades of green? Or military discounts @ wdw? You might want to look into that.

Coming back from FL won't be such a shock!!

EE22, So your predicting we will stay this way for the next 2 months??? That would be heaven. :cool1: I might cancel our trip if that where true. But, I heard the weather here is going colddddddddddddd again by friday. :eek:

mkyprincess:

[EEyorelover22]

Yes cold by the weekend but still snowless.
I saw a report that our city has saved 265,000 with no salt and overtime. Saves our roads too. That though hurts the economy too though I know down the line.

I think I will like our gas bill though:thumbsup2

I am taking a CPR class tomorrow;)

Here in Illinois, we don't worry about the roads or cost. We just build another tollway or raise the prices again.......:scared1:

[EEyorelover22]

Toll increases were HUGE!!! WOW!! basically double at each toll...paying cash would be 10 bucks to Naperville now and that's not even all the way for us...1/2 the cost with the IPass. Insanity.

They have been taking cues from buffet increases at WDW!:rotfl:

[candizfan]

MKY - congrats on being in the 50s! I am missing the planning for a March trip this year. May is still 117 days away for us.

EE22 - :lmao: I think you are right! When tolls cost as much as the gas you have to wonder.

We bought a new (to us) car on the weekend. It is a 2011 Malibu 2LT. It has the heated seats and remote starter that I wanted. But I must admit..:sad2: I will miss the Grand Am GT. I went from a Mustang to the Grand Ams when we had our first daughter and now I won't even have a "Sports Sedan", just an ordinary "Sedan". :scared1:

Once these darn kids are off on their own, I am going back to the sport cars. :rotfl:

[EEyorelover22]

That's why I like my Mazda 6 ;)
congrats on the car

[candizfan]

EE22 - Nice! :thumbsup2 If we were a two car family, I would have a sports car but since we are a one car family, I can't really do it.

I guess the two motorcycles make up it though. :lmao:

EE22, Oh yeah, that's how we do it in illinois. Go BIG or go home. :rotfl: We are trying to support our ex-governer's in prison. :lmao:
Your right about the buffet's. I have no clue how a family can afford it without the dining plans. :confused3

Candi, but we will be back and you will be getting ready to go..... :sad1:
Congrat's on the malibu! :thumbsup2

mkyprincess:

[candizfan]

That is true MKY. :goodvibes

I can't remember the last time we did not go away for a winter break. It must be back in the early 2000s. We use to go the first week in February because it was ssoooo much cheaper than March. But once the kids started to get older, we changed to March break.

[mkymouse4ever]

ee22, march is almost as nuts in price as october. And I love both of them. :scared1: ;)

[EEyorelover22]

DH nows wants to go to MNSSHP:cool1:
we are seriously considering fall of 2013.
Sadly...that may be our next trip. Time will tell.:hourglass

[EEyorelover22]

With the trip to DL we don't have that many left from when I got them in Dec, but we can bank a year. I don't have to do that till July so it gives me some time to figure out if we can venture down in Dec 2012.

Planning on fall 2013 for sure...I can only get two days...around Labor Day would be nice, but I don't think the parties started that early.

Ugh, I guess there is a down side to :teacher: Also looked like the promised land to many ped nurses. Should of, would of, could of?

I found this info on deb's site: 2011 Dates

-- September 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, 30
-- October 2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, and 31
-- November 1

Guess your right. Looks like they started the 2nd week? Sorry.

Too bad, you don't get your own vacation time / or pto time to pick when you want to go. :idea:

Well, maybe something will be offered early?

Fall is really nice at wdw. They started mnsshp so early last year [early sept] so you can go even when its still warm [if possible with :teacher:?] Or I think they lasted till a week after halloween? I thought you had to use some points every year or can you pull them all through till then?
The weather is great. Barely rains, and not bad for bugs either.
But, you will have to start thinking of your costume???? :rolleyes1

mkyprincess:

[EEyorelover22]

After DL we don't have that many points left and I can bank them and I don't have to decide till July for that. We have to move DD in over Labor day...and I checked the dates and they are mid September. We shall see what works. It's not for another year anyway. But if we cannot go over winter break in 2012 maybe we'll do that this fall. Who knows!! I can only go for 2 days for MNSSHP.

We could never afford a room over winter break...the points are not too many more than summer actually which is nice. I am not sure how long the rooms will be available however for that timeframe!:confused3

SNOW is coming!!!!:sad2:

[mkymouse4ever]

EE22, interesting how the points work. :idea:
I know, they are predicting alottttttttttttttttttttt of snow. but it was so nice out today. :idea: Still hoping they are wrong.

mkyprincess:

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone! :yay:

Hope your all having a great weekend. AP discounts came out till mid june. So very glad I up'd my date by 1 day and jumped on the last ap offer.
This new one was really limited offerings and not much off it seemed. I have 1 day over "my" 14 days so I had 1 day at rack and with new discount saved 30.00 on the whole day. Really not much for those prices.
But, I am lucky we did so well with the early, so not going to sweat it.

Anyone needing the ap rate up to mid june its online. But, I thought you guys where going later?

I have been planning a trip now for end of june > july. But it's not for us. :eek: Just helping someone. :angel:

Well have a great weekend, :wizard:

mkyprincess:

[candizfan]

We had the first snow fall that needed a shovel. Still not very much snow but it has stayed so far.

I picked up my new car on Saturday.....must say how much I love those heated seats! :love: I am going to miss having the 6 cylinders though. The car does not have as much power as I am use to.:rolleyes1

Now comes the work of getting the old car safetied (in Canada a car has to pass a safety inspection before you can drive it) and get rid of it. It looks like my neice is going to take it.

[mkymouse4ever]

:banana: 50 :cool1:

[EEyorelover22]

EXCLLENT MKY!!!!

My longing for a Disney trip is getting so bad that I had a very realistic dream that they had built another MK in Iowa. Not sure how that would be with below zero temps now, but it was so real and life like!! So close too!!

[candizfan]

:cool1: Cool :cool1: MKY - how is the planning coming along?

I am still at 108! :surfweb:

I have not even planned much this time. I am going to take it at a slower pace. :lmao: Okay - I am going to try to take it at a slower pace. :rotfl:

I am only going to plan to sit down meals for the trip. I don't think everyone is going to stay together, so I am going with the flow! I don't think anyone has their heart set on one specific restaurant so that should make it easier.
We are going to be in the conceirge level so I am hoping to have a little more quiet time to enjoy the resort.

[mkymouse4ever]

:cool1: Hiya, we are all done planning for march. just re checked our adrs they are ok.

I am a little jealous of our east coast buddies. i saw a disneycruiseline commerical and it said sailing out of california, new york, and florida. popcorn:: wow maybe they can get to lake michigan!!! :rotfl:

Well we just have to stay healthy and it will be here in no time. But once again i am having major foot issues :confused3 and working on that. got shot up last night OMG, that was terrible. :scared1:

But 49 sounds great! :wizard:

Mky princess:

MKY-:cutie:...Im so sorry about your foot issues again....Please feel better soon !!:flower3:...Im sure the needle must be sooooo painful :scared1:...Mr. Tomar had a couple of those for his hand (before he was operated on)....
Think March !!...Your sooooo close to your trip :yay::woohoo::yay::woohoo:

Candi- Congrats on your new car !! :goodvibes Sounds Lovely ! :thumbsup2

EE22- hang in there. Sorry about the Snow !!:sad2:...We are next up....tonight and tomorrow ....5 to 7 inches...O M G ! :eek: :scared1: :eek:

TGIF everyone !! :grouphug:

[candizfan]

Hi Everyone!

Yep EE22 -it is snowing like crazy here now. Thanks for sending it this way. At least it feels like winter now. ;)

I am hoping a deap freeze will help kill some of these dang viruses that are going around.

MKY - sorry about the foot trouble. I will send pixie dust pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust:

Happy Friday night ladies!

[mkymouse4ever]

Hiya everyone! :yay:

:scared1: snow :scared1: So far we are up to 7 inches today and still have about 5 to 6 more hours. The boys just went out and it is up to there bellies. But they love love love the snow. [they are huge now, probably 50# already and 5 months old] Look out everyone. Its coming. . . . . . :sad2:

But the good news, the "shot" is working. Its sore but not as bad as before the shot. So I think it is helping alot at this point. We are definately headed in the right direction. Thanks for the pixie dust! :wizard:

Have a great weekend. I work all weekend, but had a great 3 day break with this foot issue. I timed it right for my days off. :idea:

Sorry about the rsv mky...icky stuff.

We are going to WDW in Dec over winter break.
Getting out of the 300's for days would be dandy at this point;)

Next week on feb 6th. I get to put in the days for my Disney vacation. And my manager is very happy with me right now. So I'm positive to get it. Can't wait. I do have a back up plan sorta if my Sis can't get someone to cover for her at work. If I can and his drill permits. I will change her name to his. And me and the hunnie can go this year and next!! Lol

It will be great whenever I get him to Disney. His first visit. I love going with ppl for their first time. Seeing their face light up and all that. All the fun we will have. It will be our first couple trip. I....uh...kinda had a vision the other night. Um.....me and my hunnie at Disney. Standing in front of the castle watching the fireworks. He turns to me tells me how much he loves me then asks me to marry him. My gawd it just sounds so romantic to me. I told him about it and he said it sounded romantic too. Even though at the moment he is adverse to getting married again. After how horrible his first one was. I have a gut feeling that things will change on our trip. By then or during our trip. I think things have already changed slightly. But it's hard to tell.


I found this funny graphic the other day it says "screw prince charming. I have a solider!". I love it.


Wednesday: just got my federal! first thing i did was pay off disney!! So now the trip is all paid for!! its all down hill from here!

[mkymouse4ever]

:banana: 36 days! :banana:

Wow, hope everyone is enjoying this incredible weather. :goodvibes
I have so so so much to do before our trip. So does bug. Not sure if we will every be ready. [at the rate i am going] Need to do some major spring cleaning. Finish that online class [due end of march, but we get home end of march :scared1:], pack, and get my disney stuff organized. But, it is so beauitful out > I can't concentrate. :idea:

JMouse, you sound more ready than I do.

Hope everyone is doing well. No winter / spring colds.

Now we need to get that groundhog on board.... popcorn::

Happy Feburary! ;)

-- which park do you recommend?
-- how crowded? are the brazilian teens there yet? wondering for crowds.
--fireworks at all parks except ak? which one do you recommend?
--anything about early july else i should know?
or
-- any info on pop century I should pass on? room request? she plans to get the pool view / preferred room, there.

mkyprincess:

well i can say things about the pop.. been there so much.. if she wants it quiet request a 50's room or the 90'si perfered the 50's though, the 60's is the loudest thats were most ppl go, its the main pool too... they have daily acitives that people can participate in, i think its the twist at 6pm every night its alot of fun.. and twister out in the yards.. its great fun..

i dont know anything else though its my first time going in july too

Tours weren't there yet from what I remember.
You can see MK a night earlier than the 4th usually...excellent, but we all like the ones at DHS more. Not sure what Epcot does. Traffic is just amazing that's all I know!!

My DH is away for four days this week and for me, it is...look how much room is in the bed...the dirty dishes did not grow by nearly the usual number today...no dirty clothes to pick up off the floor....:rotfl: After 22 years together, you look forward to some time apart.

I do miss him as he makes my coffee for work each day and it always tastes better when he makes it. Plus he feeds the kids while I work late. It is nice to come home to dinner ready most night. :hug:

We finally broke the 90 day mark for our trip this week. :banana: 88 as of today!
