January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part III !!!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Yay for Shelly's DS!

I, for one, love snow...in December!!! I was born and raised in MN, so I like winter (and I don't ski or snowmobile either) and need the change of seasons. But Winter is one season that just lasts TOO LONG! I only want snow from December 1 - about February. Then I'm sick of it. That is why we head to WDW at the end of January. It is good for my mental health!

Thanks!

Yes, snow in December is nice. But I could really do without it the other 11 months of the year!

Kimberly: Glad your cat came home...hope everything checks out alright at the vet

Well, I'm off to bed finally...I went with some girlfriends and my older sister to see New Kids on the Block tonight...so I have Step by Step running through my head...we had a great time and a great show...laughed alot because of all the old T-shirts and people dressed like the 80's again

Thanks! We are very happy she is back! She did not much else but sleep most of yesterday - poor baby is so tired!

I am so jealous of you going to an NKOTB concert! My sister and I were supposed to have gone to see them in Minneapolis on the 21st but plans changed and we ended up having to sell our tickets! I was such a fan of theirs in the late 80's and early 90's!

Yeah for PART III!

NKOTB....oh I remember them..the start of my boy band obsession that would move on in the later years to The Backstreet Boys!!

Here's MY countdown!

Tomorrow: surgeon. Hopefully she'll tell me what type of surgery I'll be having (major recovery? minor recovery?). Finally tell mom that I'm having surgery. That'll be fun!

Thursday: Give my first presentation, powerpoint and all, EVER. In front of people who won't listen anyway, which makes me less stressed.

11/3: my Pre-op appointment. It says "leave 2-4 hours for this appointment" - ha ha what?

11/6: Fly to New England to visit my family for the weekend

11/9: Fly back to Michigan.

11/14: Surgery (major recovery? minor recovery? )

11/21: Hopefully, go see Twilight with the girls. After having a lot of margeritas because we know it's going to be AWFUL

11/27: Thanksgiving! Hopefully, drive to Northern IL and spend the weekend with DH's family (this year, we got a hotel, with the excuse of my surgery!)

December 1-16: Collect grant applications from reluctant grad students, attend department holiday parties

12/25: Christmas!
12/28: Mom's birthday!
12/31: MIL's birthday!
1/4: My birthday!
1/5: Semester starts
1/9: We wave bye to the chilly state of Michigan and hello to the warmer state of Florida for a WHOLE week!!!

(Yes, we feel badly for the men in our family - it gets more creative when you add in the ILs wedding anniversary on 12/26!)

I ordered a camera today from bestbuy.com! They had a 7 megapixel Kodak easyshare camera that uses SD memory for $85, with free shipping, a free tripod, and I had a $5 coupon. After tax I paid... about $85! Now I'm that much more set for DISNEY!!! (And DH asked if he could use it instead of his iPhone. YES!)

 

[MindyLuvsMickey]

My personal countdown:

5 days until Halloween
2 weeks until our 6th anniversary
4 weeks until Thanksgiving
8 weeks until Christmas
9 weeks until Dh's birthday
10 weeks or 71 days or until DISNEY

 

[crzyred]

Are we doing countdowns today? Man, I'd have to look at things that are even worth counting down...

 

[trixiequilts]

12/28: Mom's birthday!

That's my dad's birthday, too!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

NKOTB....oh I remember them..the start of my boy band obsession that would move on in the later years to The Backstreet Boys!!

My DH works at the arena in St. Paul where NKOTB played last week. We joked that it was going to be a crowd of mostly 30 something women. Turns out we were right!! But lucky for DH, they were willing to spend $ on shirts etc. That's how he makes his $ - commissions on sales of merchandise. So to those of you that went, THANK YOU! You just helped us pay for more Disney!

geeez you guys....on page 5 already.

I am pretty happy today!! Eagles win and now I have only 3 hours to wait for the Phillies. Life is good.

Saw High School Musical 3 today! I know most of you aren't into it, so sorry for OT, but I had a great time! My DD is WAY into HSM, so I've seen the movies and hear the music a LOT.

This made me remember why I love Disney so much. I can trust them! I didn't have a single moment of explanation or feeling uncomfortable with the movie. There was nothing inappropriate or over my DDs head. It was all good! It shows how everyone should be included, how no one is wrong for what they like or do. Nothing too adult - the kids sort of "date" but nothing more than dancing! It's just awesome.

And I'll admit - I got VERY teary at the end. I think I had strong "mom" feelings towards those kids, and to see them grow up and graduate from high school - AWW, it was so sweet.

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Sarbah--what is Twilight?

Sharadoc---How old is your dd? The one you took to HSM3? Just curious? I have kids who want to go, but wanted to ask someone first who's seen it---I personally love the song & dance thing, but wanted to check for my kids before we went!! Thanks!!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Wow, page 5 already! My goodness. Well, tryouts went great and we now have a new team. 10 returning veterans and 5 new rookies! It was a long, tiring day and once again, I can hardly move! I will definately be taking a nice, long soak again tonight! I'm sad that my Bills lost, but at least I didn't have to watch it happen.

Hello snowbird peeps,

It's been a little while since i've been on here, and I must say I was not even a little surprised to see part III!!

My "baby" sister leaves to go back to Seattle tomorrow after an extended visit. I am really bummed but know I will see her at Disney. It's never easy living 3,000 miles away from your nearest family member!

Tonight after she packs, we are going to sit down with some mix drinks and try to do the rest of our itinerary. Should be fun and a great way to end our visit!

 

[Dancegrl624]

My little sis is only 4 hours away and I'm always missing her! I don't know if I could ever be 3,000 miles away from her! That must be so hard.
