I hope you had a fabulous trip to WDW (did I see a pumpkin?? TOT party?)

Hey miss thang I was just thinking about you! I FINALLY got your shirts from WM (they sent me the wrong ones the first time ) Anyway- just waiting on some chocolate brown to come in to finish them for you! YAY YAY!

Thank you! We went to the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party- it was such a blast! I managed to convince DBF to dress up with us- told him it was my bday present! haha!

Hi everyone!

I had another Great, Fun, Exciting day at DL yesterday! Seeing all the Divas again was the highlight and seeing Sarah was a special treat! She looks wonderful! We missed you Katie! I enjoyed having a chance to talk with Dawn more and can't wait until the Oct meet...we are all going to have so much fun! Lisadoll did stop by to say hello with her adorable family and it was nice to have a change to say hello to her!

I also got to test out the new Toy Story Mania game on Donna's Wii - what fun that was! I am almost convinced that we need to get a Wii now!

I am off to the beach today! Mr. CA is still out of town and the kids are with their mom so I have ME time and I plan to finish the book I am reading and enjoy the sunshine! I am kind of bummed though…it’s sounding like Mr. CA will have to extend his business trip. He was supposed to come home on Wed. but now it is looking like it may be Thurs and maybe even Friday. I am missing him like crazy! Oh well as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder but if my heart grows any fonder it won’t fit in my chest!

I hope everyone has a great Sunday! Off to listen to the waves and try to keep sand out of my bathing suit!

PS Oh and exactly one year ago today I arrived in CA to begin my new sunshine'y' life!

I'm doing well and have been able to go grocery shopping (small list) and have been able to cook a little as well. I'm still resting a great deal as well.

I talked to Josh about me thinking of going to DL for my birthday. He doesn't think that I'm crazy. He even suggested that if I'm going to do it that I should go night before, spend my entire birthday in DL, and spend that night so that I come home the next morning. I still think I'm crazy about thinking about doing this but I am seriously considering it.

I hope all of you at the mini-meet have a wonderful time!

steph

Glad you are feeling better, Steph, and if you're up to it I hope you do something nice for yourself & enjoy DL.

Good night!
I just remembered I need to be up at 6:30!

'course, I haven't been paying attention & missed the meet. Hope you all had a blast.

I'm still not sure about the ladies trip either.... just sad, very very sad. I knew you ladies would understand.

Try looking at some of the old trip pics to see what wording and font color was used because I no longer have that info.
Also if you like that tie dye Mickey but cannot wear a longer shirt, you can send in a tee to the lady that is making them and she will use whatever tee you prefer.


Etsy is a website which provides small business entrepreneurs with a way to buy and sell handmade items, including art, photography, clothing ...and tye die Mickey shirts!
Cassie is one of the sellers on said website who will customize a tee for you.

Thank you so much!

Ended up going to the movies yesterday and watching All About Steve w/Kelly (my daughter), and it was a cute movie. Last night/early morning, I got up at 2am, and couldn't go back to sleep, so I watched Secret of Bees. Such a better movie. I really enjoyed it - Of course, I cried in several parts, but it was gooood.

Hope you all have a good day today.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. The trip is off due to financial reasons. Since my ex stopped paying child support a year ago it literally has wiped out my savings. No I don't use the support for Disneyland trips....but instead of him helping with half of Ayden's tuition last year I've paid it 100% by myself. DBF and I are both getting really good bonuses in November, but the responsible thing to do is to start up our savings again instead of going to Disneyland. I have been looking forward to our first Christmas trip. We purchased AP's when we were there in March and now I'm wondering if that was even worth it now. I know I said I probably wouldn't make the Diva trip...and that's still up in the air so we'll see. My AP would still be good then so it's very possible.

I just really feel sick about December...I'm glad I hadn't told Ayden about it.

Morning all!

Tracey, I think all men think it's too much work. Most of them don't realize that for us it's a break to cook at the table!

My sister met me earlier in the day for my son's birthday, but then one of my nephews started feeling sick so they were going to all leave. My other nephew was mad because he didn't want to leave yet & asked if he could stay with us. Of course being the nice auntie I am, I said NO . If you've met my nephews, you'd understand. Well he started pouting and begging. My DS who hates to see young kids upset decided to throw the birthday card "Why don't you let him stay with us, it's my birthday & I'll help watch him". So he stayed with us.

About a 1/2 hour later it hit me, what the heck am I going to do with him when I meet the girls. I was planning on sending my older 2 off by themselves, but there is no way I was sending my nephew off with them. Again if you met my nephew, you'd understand.

I called Sarah and said I don't think I'd be able to make it because I had my nephew with me and she said there was room for him so I said I'd try to stop by. I tell my nephew he's going to eat lunch with me and the baby & he starts whining that he wants to stay with Devin & Adara. I'll skip the drama of what happens next, but I'll just say that I never met up with any of the girls & yesterday was the LEAST relaxing day I've ever had at Disneyland .

I hate feeling like a flake. I've never missed a meet before & I feel bad. But the moral of the story is, next time I go to Disneyland & plan on meeting people, DON'T tell my family I'm going .

We missed you and now that I hear you were actually at DL, it's a shame we didn't even get a drive-by hi!

Janelle, hang in there!

Happy anniversary to your CA life!

I found a lot more games unlocked last night. So beyond the first ring toss with spaceships, there are several variations, different ships, etc. The way you move from game to game is much easier on my phone version of the game but there are more game variations on the wii. Some of the games are way too lame, like shooting the rocket into space, the teacup game - these should have been put in a special section for young kids instead of mixed in.

It was great to see everyone yesterday - Dawn, Cheryl, Vicki, Christabel, Linda, Breezy and my first time meeting Sarah in person! She's such a sweet, warm person, I'm glad she made a special plan to sneak away from her family and play with us for a bit. We managed to do a group ride on Pirates after lunch yesterday!

Dawn wore a beautiful Disney large pendant! Breezy wore a green shirt that matched her eyes. She was doing a special photo shoot that I won't give away here in case she want it secret, but let's just say it caused our waiter to say, "You're serious?"

We missed Ann, I'll try to PM her and find out how she's doing. Mary Jo, we would have loved to have seen you!

Cassi, you could pass for an official DL princess! Your family looks wonderful in their costumes!

Thank you! I was really tickled at all of the little girls that came up and asked if I was the "real" Cinderella while we were there! Disney gave us a big fat warning about signing autograpghs or posing for pictures as soon as we arrived (which in a way was good, bc we would have been doing it all night) so I brought along stickers and glow bracelets to give to all of the little girls who came up wanting autographs and pictures It was a blast!

Oh, I left out a really good picture:

I'm sorry, Janelle. Sometimes it's a ral bummer being a grown-up!

And I'm going to haveto order one of Cassie's shirts, too! But how am I going to decide which one

Hello everyone!!!

That's a great idea. I always buy stuff on clearance for the next year. Walgreens has some great after holiday sales too.

You can do it! What an exciting secret to be keeping!!

No one is going to think you are a flake. Things happen sometimes. I'm sorry it didn't work out though.
