He really IS cute, isn't he... alright, I'll let it slide.

I can't wait to tell you about the trip! You know, after I've lived it and what not first. lol

"I wasn’t going to the moon and if I needed to I could find a Wal-Mart, which is true I have Wal-Mart radar. I started up my car, said good morning to Stanley (my GPS who has a cute British accent) and made sure both Nobby and I were buckled up and ready to go."
I LOVE it already

Can't wait to read more!!

I must admit Jen. We have satelite radio in the van (not really because we wanted it but it was already installed on the last van left that with all our requirements). I have flipped through the stations but don't really listen to it. In fact, I think I have flipped through the broadway channel and wondered if people actually listened to it THAT often

Now, as I type this, I have DisRadio playing on my computer and am listening to Fantasmic for about the 583rd time!

Too bad they don't have that on satellite radio!

OMG..I wonder if DIS radio works on my school computer!! Katie you just gave me a brilliant idea!!

I know I would have been in heaven if I could have DIS radio all the time...I didn't have the adaptor I needed to plug my MP3 player into the car or I would have been listening to podcasts about DIsney LOL!!!!

Look at the sharing of ideas today, it's never occurred to me to listen to podcasts in the van because I DO have an MP3 plug in! (seriously, DH was the one who insisted on the rediculously high tech system in the van! I only have to put in a CD once, it copies it into memory and stores it. It's basically a 30 gig MP3 player with DVD capability)

If I wasn't too lazy to find the worship smilie I would go click on it about your entertainment system in your van...WOW!!! That is amazing...and yes I bought the adapter thing I need and I enjoy a great podcast. I listened to one on Haunted Mansion the other day...I love that ride!

kschafer · 01-23-2009, 12:04 PM

yeah, it's pretty rediculous. did I mention the backseat satellite TV?

Too bad it only offers Nick, Cartoon network the Disney Channel (although, I do love playhouse Disney!)

The satellite TV and radio subscription was included for the first year. I told the kids to enjoy it, cause mama ain't paying for it after that!

(sheesh, no wonder I can't go to Disney this year, paying too much for my new van! Although I have to say how surprised I am. Our car insurance was up for renewal this month and they DIDN'T penalize me for the accident!

I was stunned, it was not cheap on their part!)

Well that is good, I'm glad they didn't raise your insurance!! That means you can keep saving for 2010!!! Only 15 months away!!!! YAY

Satellite tv that is just amazing LOL

Welcome Welcome!!!!!!

Happy Belated Birthday!!! AND only 2 weeks until your next trip...ooohh...have a great time!

sunny_stace · 01-23-2009, 12:58 PM

Very good sign, starting your trip with Ms.Julie Andrews!!!

Oh I love her....sounds like you were off to a great start! I can't wait to hear more!

danceintherain · 01-23-2009, 02:15 PM

I didn't exactly catch up... because I AM at work, and shouldn't spend TOO much time on the computer.

However, I did just find an interesting coincidence.
You graduated from K-State the year I started.
Unless of course you skipped a grade in primary school, or made it through your bachelor's in 3 years.
If you started college at 18 and took 4 years to complete your degree, then when I started college you would have only graduated a few months before.
