SINGLE DIGITS!!!!

I'm almost at single digits for making my ADRs! (I need to look forward to something.)

 

[troobabiee7]

I leae for two weeks and come back and you're already in single digits?? How did that happen?!! That's so exciting, I hope you have a great trip!!!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Yay! Brook!!!!

Hi Brook! I'm back from Disney and just trying to catch up with things here. Can't believe you are in single digits already You must be getting excited now. I am sad to be back but at least I have my Oct trip to look forward to -- only about 7 weeks from now but who's counting

Hope your foot is feeling better in time for your trip. Sending some your way.

You are going to LOVE Kidani! It was so nice, I was sad to leave. Do you have a savanna view? It was so cool to see the animals from our room, the kids just loved it. Even if you do not have savanna view, there are several great viewing areas. If you go to the first floor there is a viewing area out back and it has a better view (IMO) than the view out the back of the lobby from Jambo House. Nothing is obstructed and you feel really close to the animals. I'm sure you'll be seeing this all for yourself really soon -- are you going to check it out when you are there or wait until Dec?

Hey Brook,

Congrats on single digit countdown......it'll be here before you know it...

YOU will love Kidani-we meanered over there from Jambo House for a lunch at Sanaa and a look at the pool- and it was fabulous...

Oh-it's so nice to have other people's trips to live through...takes away a bit of the sting of coming home...

ONE, 1, UNO!!!!!

ONE week left.
And that means just ONE Monday left too!

We are in the final, final countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, that calls for....
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, I'LL BE....having a slow morning around the house, getting ready to head to Minneapolis for the day. I took the day off from work (so that means I probably slept in!), and soon we'll be on the road. Joe has a computer nerd certification test at Noon, so we'll probably grab a small bite to eat (read: coffee + snack) before. Henry and I will hang out at a playground or buzz around in the car. He might fall asleep. If he does, I'll just drive around. Pick Joe up around 1:00 and if H is still sleeping, we'll continue to just drive around and chat so H can get in a good nap.

If he's awake, we'll probably head to Ikea or a park for a fun afternoon. We'll eat dinner around 3:30 and then HEAD TO THE AIRPORT!


Foot update:
As I posted a couple times above, the foot isn't doing so well. I'm trying to be VERY good this week and I'm back in the big boot. I'm hoping if I nurse it this week, next week will be a "good foot week". Joe said we'll rent a scooter if we have to, but I reallyyyyy don't want to spend that money - BUT, I also don't want to be in pain. So, we'll see how it goes. The little boot is coming, IcyHot is coming, and perhaps the big boot as well...playin' it by ear....er...by pain?


Packing update:
Not much to report here! Mini fan and ponchos have been purchased. Still need to buy batteries. And another small tube of sunscreen. And perhaps and underwater camera...if I can find a deal on one. Suitcases are open and completely in the way in the dining room , shoulder bags are inside the suitcases with random stuff thrown in. My shirt selection has been made. Toiletries are in the toiletry carry-case thingy...hanging in the bathroom (there is still a bit more to add).

To Do:
Aside from the obvious packing...

• I still need to do some MORE laundry for Henry's outfits.
• Joe will undoubtedly tell me the night before we leave what he wants to wear that isn't clean...
• One more Target run. Despite being there LAST NIGHT.
• Oh-and we need to get haircuts. Except for Henry-hoping to do that one at MK!
• And, I want to watch the forecast, and re-check all the hours, since they seem to change quite often. I might even get a chance to get on Steve Soares site and do some serious planning!
• Finish my BubbaPorter envelopes. I just have to add some details to a few.
  

I think that's it....but, I'm sure it's not!

Yay! Exciting

 

[mrsksomeday]

I hope the foot gets better before the trip. I understand not wanting to use the scooter, but I think you are right you don't want to be in pain either. Are you thining about possibly renting off site or just in the parks? I know it can be a lot cheaper renting off site.

 

[wdwgirl03]

OMG one week, I am soooo jealous! Our trip just flew by so now I am going through Disney withdrawl.

 

[BellaSoleil]

- About the last minute laundry comment. I hear ya, sister!

I'm so excited for you guys! Do you think Henry will really ride Goofy's Barnstormer? Belle can't wait to ride it.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for one week! I cannot begin to describe how excited I am to have another one of your TRs to read this fall!!!

Computer nerd certification test!

I do hope your foot continues to improve!!! Disney should be a pain-free zone!

 

[SoonerGirl]

You've got me cracking up with your "computer nerd certification test" and "BubbaPorter envelopes" comments!

Just one more week to go - the time is going to fly by!!

 

[shebaxric]
