Wow it's been getting very busy! I've kind of neglected my PTR, and will have to start neglecting other people's PTRs and TRs too
Since posting Mum's Tigger outfit, I have added some black glitter to the ears, just to bring out the stripes and give her a bit of bling. She's going to wear an old pair of black shorts that we are going to paint orange stripes onto as a mother/daughter bonding activity the day before the run
I've nearly finished my cheshire cat outfit. Ears are done (and seriously blingy). I've attached streamers to one half of my shirt, just got the other half to do now (that will probably make more sense when you see photos
). Then just a couple more head accessories and some bowties.
I've made more dining reservations. We've now got:
Saturday 30th August: 11:30am Blue Bayou
Tuesday 9th September: 8:30am Storytellers Cafe
Thursday 11th September: 12:30pm Carthay WOC package
I think I've decided to ditch the tour idea altogether and re-visit the F! dessert package. My only issue is with leaving F! until the last Sunday night we have at
Disneyland (because that's when my birthday is). Do you think I should book it for the Saturday night instead? So we can have a back up plan if it's not running due to weather etc? I assume if they cancel F! you get your money back for the package, but we would need another opportunity to see the show since it will only be on weekends at that time of year. I won't bother to book it until I arrive anyway, so it may depend on availability only being a couple of weeks out.
In other news, Dad and DH have both decided that they really want to see a baseball game in the US. With our busy schedule for that first week and a half, I didn't know if I'd be able to fit one in for them. I certainly don't want to take away any park time DH has, since we're already paying for a 10 day pass that we'll only get 3 days use out of. However, I remembered on the half marathon thread there was a lot of discussion about whether they would or would not be running through Angel Stadium because there's a home game on that afternoon, so I did a bit more research on that. There was a Groupon deal for that game that was about to expire, so I just did it. Hopefully the boys will be happy.
I refuse to sit at a sporting event for 3+ hours, so Mum and I will probably use that time to go shopping. We'll have the rental car by then, so we can drop the boys off at the game then go to a nearby mall. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated. We'll pick them up when the game finishes and go directly to Palm Springs (I had planned on taking the scenic route over the mountain through Idyllwild, but we won't have time for that now). We'll still get to see the mountain and views though when we do the aerial tram.
I also finally booked my airport shuttles. Found a 10% off coupon for SuperShuttle, so managed to save a couple of $$. Now that DH has locked in his flights, I should probably book his too.
The house/pet sitter has confirmed that she is still good for next week. Now we just need to clear out the spare room so she has somewhere to sleep
Unfortunately the main bathroom is still mid-reno, so she'll have to shower in our ensuite.
I think that's about it for now. I've started throwing a few more clothes in the 'suitcase' pile, but I'll start packing for real over the weekend. Need to get a few last minute supplies from the supermarket/chemist too.
Cant wait to see photos of you with that shiny medal.
I really can't believe it given how much trouble I was having with them last week. A little pre-Disney pixie dust perhaps?
