Joshua and I are going on a Disney Cruise for his bar mitzvah. In an attempt to keep sane I started a cruise pre trippie. http://disboards.com/showthread.php?p=47427094&posted=1#post47427094
Scotty is CANCER FREE!!!!
Thank you. It's so very painful. I'm also flying out to CA this weekend for my cousin's funeral. I'm chalking up Feb 2013 to total crap.
I'm very grateful for the time we've had with Riley. He's been a total joy. I'm going to miss him so much. Joshua and I slept with him all curled up last night. The ground is frozen solid so we're going to cremate, not ideal, and then bury his ashes. There's no way DH could dig a hole.
Just wanted to check in.....my emotions are all over the place.....today we're putting down our sweet Riley He's been such a wonderful part of the family. It feels like my heart is on the outside of my body. My eyes are so red from crying. Just sitting here with him in my lap until its time to go, giving him lots of last puppy kisses.
I'm also planning the Disney Cruise for Joshua's bar mitzvah gift, just he and I. Got the okay from DH last night. Girls aren't thrilled but they understand. It'll be next January. I want to pet my puppy, read trip reports, and cry.
Bittersweet day for sure.
Sorry for your sadness. Some things in life are not easy...
just remember the joy Riley brought to you and your family.
Sorry about your cousin's funeral also.
Take care.
I am so very sorry! It is so very hard to lose an animal. Something about their innocence makes it so very hard to say goodbye.
Well, that is one awesome gift, so happy planning!
I just wanted to stop in and say I am so sorry for your loss.
P.S. I am behind on reading trip reports but I did note that you are planning a cruise with you DS! How totally awesome for the both of you!! What a very special trip that will be!
Awesome! Where are you staying? You have a spreadsheet specifically for Disneyland? Are flights expensive?
What part of Arizona? August is piping hot. I'd love to go to Hawaii too, have you been? I haven't. DH lived there for 6 months and loved it.
She is an amazing trip planner, I agree. One of my best friends went to Australia for a few weeks two NYE ago. Said it was one of the coolest places she's ever been. I'll ask where specifically she enjoyed. I know they went to Sydney and the rain forest.
Wow, Switzerland! When did you go? Was it to ski? I bet its equally as gorgeous in the summer. I check airfare too for numerous places, ya know....just in case.
Its at a total stand still. We were set on Budva, Montenegro however we can't seem to agree on when. I want summer, less stress for us to leave the kids. He wants Sept as it's less expensive. Summer is pretty outrageous. I also said I'd be great with just about anywhere but he's being the picky one. With DS's bar mitzvah in October (which I planned for) and trip in December/January (which I didn't even think about), money may also be an issue. Lack of money stops me from doing all of the cool things I plan. Of course I'm still getting my daily Kayak alerts.
Awww, thanks!
I really hope DH can pull that one off with bonus $$ as all our "normal" trip budget for then will be eaten up by the E's school band trip to Ireland, assuming they are both still in band (it does seem unlikely they will drop out at this point).
I suppose the good news is that it does give my points a year to recover
That is wonderful news !
I am very happy for you.
Disneyland -- For right now, I have reservations for Hojo's. The kids love the warer park there. However, it isn't set in stone....
My spreadsheet is for our whole Calif trip not just DL. It really helps us to plan out our days.
Flights are not expensive. Usually around $200 per person. Sometimes half of that! We like the Long Beach airport the best but Orange County is good too!
AZ -- "Piping hot" is an excellent description of AZ in August! I LOVE piping hot!!! Last August, I stayed at The Boulders in Carefree and it was wonderful!! I think my kids would get a real kick out of the desert landscape and wildlife! However, not sure if we will go or not....
Yes, I have been to Hawaii and that is probably my favorite place on earth!
Switzerland -- We didn't ski when we were in Switzerland. However, we saw a ton of kids going skiing/snowboarding and the trains even had little corrals inside to hold ski equipment. So, so cool!
Looks like you had a great day at the pool. What a gorgeous day! I'm sorry I didn't get my nephews over to that pool last summer. It always looked so crowded so we used the Grandstand pool instead.
That's so great that you actually cooked out. When we were there in June I remember thinking how fun it would be to cook out, but its so stinking hot that the idea was quickly dismissed. October must have been wonderful!
You and UncleR can bond over the freezing/refreezing and eating stuff that's laid out thing.
I get scared after 15 minutes. She says I'm a bit freaky that way, and she says she's survived this long.
So, do you refrigerate chocolate syrup? Just wondering...
I'm with Uncle R. I do not refrigerate chocolate syrup.
Girl, I thaw and refreeze all the time.
I hope someone took the tri tips. They were beautiful and would have been shameful to throw out. Michael thought I was insane for leaving a note but I know there are some freaky peeps when it comes to thawing and refreezing.
UncleR and I had this whole disagreement over chocolate syrup after we moved in together. I basically told her that she was going to die after eating non-refrigerated chocolate syrup, she told me she'd lived her entire life using it, and she'd never refrigerated it at all.
I blame my mother for my freaky foodie obsessions. Plus, the warnings on the bottle make it sound scary.
We once left a whole package of hot dogs, water, and diet coke. I hope someone took it.
Yay an update! Those pics are great even though they are from your phone, they allowed me to pretend for a moment that I'm not in the windy, frozen, cold, snowy, sunless north I noticed on your PTR that your home sick today, I hope you are feeling better soon.
