And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[Mousemommy1]

...as promised, and in honor of Valentines Day (for those of you not on FB), here is the pic of DH and I, circa 1996....note the Mickey vest and bowtie. A keeper I say.

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Candace I just love this picture ... what a cute couple you two are!!! And you are right he is a keeper!!!

 

[Missoutandabout]

Linda: Very exciting about your upcoming Divas trip! (Well, and the beach part, too.)

DetTigsGal: about the discounted candy!

Candace: Ah, you two are so cute. (Your fancy column beats our fancy column hands-down; ours was topped with a hospital-like arrangement. We were keepin' it classy in Baltimore. )

OOOH, I can imagine. I've seen my moms prom pics....she went to Northwestern H.S. in B-More, class of 1975


....and the talk of the fancy columns reminds me of "fancy sauce"...have you seen Stepbrothers????

 

[Janet B]

Happy Valentines Day to all. Justin saying last night...I don't like Valentines Day, just give me some chocolate - discounted the next day! ( that's a 15 year old boy for you.

Brendan, the 19 year old in college- called last night and said that his fraternity was doing a fundraiser where they sing songs -mainly the chorus- for V'day. Minimum of 5 for 5- and try made 300-, not bad for just kind of throwing it together

Hope everyone is feeling better soon

Your Justin seems like a good shopper already (although when he has a girlfriend ... hope he doesn't keep the same rule )

For your Brendan... whatever they ended up raising for charity will be fantastic!! Sometimes wingin' is perfect!

...as promised, and in honor of Valentines Day (for those of you not on FB), here is the pic of DH and I, circa 1996....note the Mickey vest and bowtie. A keeper I say.

Candance, your DH is a bona fide keeper!! : Love the photo!

 

[Missoutandabout]

It's okay to have those yummy sounding brownies... you can work it out at your next torture session with Ron Weasley.

I'm going to need physical assistance leaving the gym tomorrow, I think. Weasley is going to beat me up.

I love how Linda calls you when Jeanette's being naughty. You're our very own RC Batwoman. You need a little logo for us to shine into the air when something's gone awry.

This last weekend was Sci-fi Con in Dallas and I was so sad we missed it. Well they just announced the first guest for Comic Con in May and it is William Shattner. I am like just-been-given-a-free-WDW-trip-excited. I've already told the DH we are getting the advanced VIP tickets, and I will get his autograph if not a picture made with him.

So you're a Kirk woman, eh? (Although I'm not a Trekkie, I'd love to see Patrick Stewart on stage... he could read the phone book for all I care.)

OOOH, I can imagine. I've seen my moms prom pics....she went to Northwestern H.S. in B-More, class of 1975

We actually went to B-more for an "exotic prom locale" (Inner Harbor) -- that's what growing up outside D.C. gets you, Baltimore's an exotic locale. Did she have a fancy column in her pictures too?!

I had to look up Stepbrothers. It coincided with the Cinema Blackhole we experienced for the first 4 years after Miss M was born -- so we haven't seen it. (The only things we could manage were 30-60 minute shows, before either falling asleep or having to pause them 10+ times.) I'm scared to ask what "fancy sauce" is.

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's all good now, but I've had quite a week. Mon I got a flurry of legal notices, basically saying we hadn't paid our rent. We always do, and had, of course.

So, the last few days have been spent getting it straightened out. I paid online via THEIR website on time as usual, and I always print a copy. After a lot of back and forth, checking, they finally said they were very, very sorry, they "found" the $$. They had been paid (no duh) but they didn't apply the $$ to the proper account.
Ok, that's good, but I still wanted a letter of apology stating it was their mistake, we had done nothing wrong, and we continue to be in good standing. I finally got the letter this morning. They've corrected everything. Persistence pays!
Hubster thinks I'm amazing...I managed not to lose my cool, just insist that everything be corrected legally.

I need a vacation!

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day! Hugs to you all!

 

[pas130]

HELP!!! HELP!!! Where's Janet? Does she need to do an intervention? Do not change those Nov dates! Adding a summer trip is okay but .......... keep Nov and Dec!

Seriously, what? We're dyin' with anticipation over here.

Glad Miss M is back at school....Kate is too

Hope all our RC kiddos are feeling much better today!!! Sick kids are no fun!

My Diva trip is less than 2 weeks away. I have all my tee shirts ready .... a different color for each day, my tiara for the princess picture, flights and hotel booked .... now I just need to pick up the candy for the snack table at the Meet n Greet.

After DL I'll be heading to Santa Monica to visit for a couple of days with DD and DS .... of course there might be a little time on the beach!!!

My mama the perpetual traveler

WOW! Great job!!!!

It doesn't count as a change if I still hold my original rservation...does it??? I know am picturing Janet as SuperGirl with RC on her chest instead of S

Candace Love the prom pic

You HAVE to watch Stepbrothers (extended, unedited version)...you will learn all about the fancy sauce, and see a pretty hilarious movie while doing it!

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Jeanette I say August, November and December!!!! Keep searching those offsite locations! And then maybe a couple of nights onsite???

 

[i_heart_the_mouse]

Wow, I've missed a lot.

Sorry for all of you who had sick kiddos. I'm glad they are getting better.

Sheila -

Jenny - OMG. That is a lot of money for one vacation. DL sounds good to me

Grumpy Grandma - Divas trip and visiting with your kids? Sounds awesome! I hope you have a blast!

pas - You are cracking me up with all of the trips. I can't wait to see where you end up.

Mousemommy - Love the pic! He's a keeper for sure!

Miss - You have this way with words that makes me crack up every time you post. You should be a blogger. I would totally subscribe.


Gah. DD is waking up from nap and I'm not even close to being done yet. Little stinker has been cheating me out of my free time all week. No time for playing.

I'll be back later to comment on everything else I missed.

 

[WDWKOOK]

Is Jeanette on the bat phone with WDTC? Is she on the website pricing and scheming? Has DH taken her wallet, phone and computer? I'm staying tuned

Gwynne: I'm proud of you for keeping your cool - DH needs to take you out to dinner tonight

Candace: I think you should wear those cute outfits to V&A sometime. I'm not on FB, so thanks for sharing your treasured memory

Linda: If I make a homeless comment I'll get that look from you again, but really, how many nights will you be at home this year? Yes, I'm just jealous. With Big Bear in the news, I kept thinking of you...

MPC (Miss): I can't get Patrick Stewart's bald head out of my mind now, and did it have to be the phone book???

Has Melissa been ordering GF from WDW and having it Fed Ex'd down south? Have you tried Publix and Costco? We miss your TR so go back soon!

Sheila: How are you doing today? I've been thinking about you.

i heart: DD might need another nap later today since this one didn't take

Janet: I'm always glad you have Jeanette's back. You are her voice of reason and I know you'll tell on her if she tries anything sneaky




If any of you have been to Jiko's, I'd love your .02 cents or .04 with inflation


Everyone stay well and sweet this Valentine's Day

 

[chimo2u]

Stopping by to say HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! to my wonderful friends!

MM: looks like you have a wonderful surprise coming your way at YC/BC! I wouldn't be surprised to see a magical upgrade for your friends! I hope you have an amazing time on your trip!

I am still hoping for DL....it's just all so pricey, even trying to keep it to under 5K, I can't help thinking that that would be 5K we could put towards our big WDW trip in Jan/FEB 2015 when we bring DS's GF and stay at Kidani for his grad trip! on the other hand, I'd love one more trip with my DS/ and his BF just to see DL, I haven't been since 1990, and would love to go just for the week! it's pricey and I'm trying to make it all work, fingers crossed it all comes together eventually!

DH and I are going to the new VIP 18+ theatre in our area for tonight, our seats are already picked....comfy seats, beer/wine/ and nibbly's you can order and be served....seeing identity thief, so it'll be nice to be in the special theatre with upgraded viewing comfort, and adult only environment

Hope you all have a wonderful day filled with much happiness!!

Love
Marie

Oh, being an adult again sounds like so much fun - have a great time!

Good morning all!!! Nursing a very sick DD6 today My guess is pneumonia....ugh. Always something! But I wanted to let you all know HRH did FANTASTIC in her orchestra debut And all of us enjoyed it! In true Princess fashion...she was the only one to get a dozen roses from her Daddy at the end of the performance

HRH is so cute! Congrats to her!!! I use to play the flute in band and flute ensemble and I treasure those times. I'll admit, my flute makes it out of the case about once a year now. That is so awesome that she got roses from her dad, how sweet, even if you picked them out, hehe.

Wow....I just priced out the Alaska Aug 2014 cruise...$8000!!! Yikes, and on top of that would be our airfare of about $3000. Plus excursions, and anytime before and after the cruise. Sadly this will not be happening anytime soon!!

That is at least 2 trips to WDW for us..maybe three!! Maybe it will be DL in 2014.

Goodness gracious Jenn that's expensive!!!! I was also looking the other night, I couldn't pull up 2014 rates so I tried 2013. Late May/early June seem to the cheapest but airfare is quite expensive! I would love to do the Alaskan cruise though. My first favorite is the 9 night European cruise but airfare was outrageous, no way we could afford that!!!

...as promised, and in honor of Valentines Day (for those of you not on FB), here is the pic of DH and I, circa 1996....note the Mickey vest and bowtie. A keeper I say.

Aw, what a cute picture!! I still have yet to figured out how to add pictures, haha. I'll try to figure it out sometime soon!

It sure does sound like a vacation is needed! Wow, what a mess!!!!!! I'm glad they got it all straightened out for you!

Just catching up here. Happy Valentines Day to everyone and I hope everyone is doing well.

[Grumpy Grandma]

kook it's that mom look! I use to give it to all the building inspectors who thought I worked for them .... little did they know I was the one in charge! All the Big Bear news has been really scary ...

Samwise has puppy school this afternoon .... he's learning very quickly .... it's DH who is a little slow!

Candace: I LOVE THIS!! You two were adorable!

So actually my numbers were off on the cruise $$, the actual quotes were

Aug 18 - $9400
Aug 25 - $8900

You gotta be kidding me!!

Ginny: Way to keep your cool, I think I would've been mildly freaking out!

Jeanette: Whoo Hoo for more potential trips!! I like the sounds of 2 Royal Rooms, I was considering that for our May trip too!

Kook: We have never dined at Jiko, our signature dining experiences have not gotten past Le Cellier yet! But I say try it!!

Miss: We too have not been to the movies much at all since any of the girls were born....except for the new Disney ones that have come out. Even those we have missed half of because of bathroom trips. And DH did see the latest Carnival cruise snafu...I was afraid he would nix our cruise! Glad Miss M is feeling better.

Janet: You appeared just at the right time over here!

Marie: Have a wonderful date night! Sounds great! You know I will be picking your brains about DL one day!

Iheart: I know exactly what you mean about the little one, right now DD4 is bathing herself as I sit outside on the carpet sneaking in my Dis time!! I am a bad Mommy!!


Hi to Linda, Melissa and everyone else!!

[Janet B]

Howdy Peeps!

GG, your DIVA trip is fast approaching... you will get a pix of you and Jesica in the tiaras, right?? and then some beach time....that's the way to do retirement!! you go girl!

Ginny, wow you kept your cool, smart and doubly smart to get their apology and mistake in writing in case this every comes up in an credit check...

Marie, a VIP nite sounds perfect with DH! Here's hoping you can manage DL along with your WDW trip in '15.

Iheart, DD owes you a nap... maybe she go to bed early... stranger things have happened...

Shiela, sounds like you needed that long nap.

I'm going to need physical assistance leaving the gym tomorrow, I think. Weasley is going to beat me up.

Miss, I've been dragging myself all week to the Y, but Sam is into it so thats all that matters. Forgot to post this, Sam told me she lost 12 lbs!!

You're our very own RC Batwoman[/B]. You need a little logo for us to shine into the air when something's gone awry.

I know am picturing Janet as SuperGirl with RC on her chest instead of S

YEAH! LOVE this idea!! a mickey shirt with a big RC on it

How about August and December DH said he is not dieting to NOT sit by a pool I am actively searching certain offsite locales...

I HAVE LOST IT BFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I have HRH CL booked AND just in case 2 rooms POR RR on courtesy hols for August ...and the November Poly

no not losing it...this is what happens when you quite cold turkey on RCing....

Jeanette I say August, November and December!!!! Keep searching those offsite locations! And then maybe a couple of nights onsite???

wishful thinking Mama...

Is Jeanette on the bat phone with WDTC? Is she on the website pricing and scheming? Has DH taken her wallet, phone and computer? I'm staying tuned

Janet: I'm always glad you have Jeanette's back. You are her voice of reason and I know you'll tell on her if she tries anything sneaky

Always looking out for our RC queen...
