How is everyone today,

On my way into work this morning, I felt on of my knees trying to buckle,

Then later, I put my hand on the desk to help me stand up and I pinched a nerve, Gee I hope this isn't a sign on how this week is going to go

Hope your day gets better! and you have a great week!

I was in Philadelphia for a meeting this morning and drove past the museum where they're having that Star Wars exhibit - your husband would be impressed - they painted an image of Darth Vader across their steps (HUGE set of steps leading up to the entrance) and it looked very cool driving by.

Sounds awesome!!!

THey started digging today for our addition.......!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nikkistevej]

Kristen- when are they saying they will be done with the addition?

Kristen- when are they saying they will be done with the addition?

They have not really given us a finish date since it depends upon weather. But all of the stuff has been ordered, etc. So tomorrow they will finish digging and I'm sure this week it will be poured and started framing.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nikkistevej]

Kristen- That's good, maybe they'll get done early!!
I have been looking at the interval international info on the DVC page, some really nice places to stay around the country. Have you been on there recently, my DH actually wants to go other places besides Disney in the future.

Some of them do look pretty nice. We've been leary though and for an upcoming trade restricted the options to those that are affiliated with a major company (e.g. Marriott). I also try to do some extra research on them as well.

That's great! I guess that means it has quit snowing!!

I'm hoping to find some nice ones.

We're members of II through another timeshare we own in Southern Spain and I have never got to grips with the whole exchange thing! I really wish I could focus on that but once I start looking thro' the inch thick II brochure, my mind boggles and I lose the will to live!!!

Let us know how you get on, Nikki - it would be good to know what other options are out there...

 

[PrincessMom2002]

You are mostly correct! this is exactly what Carol explained to me. There is one other way though, and that is if your agent is willing to write Disney a letter and transfer it back to Disney without canceling. Some will do this with no problem others won't. So it does get kind of tricky.

Sharon-

Thanks for the clarification!! It is definitely useful information.

That is soooo speedy!!! OMG everything takes so long in this ridiculous country - even if I get an architect tomorrow and they quickly produce some drawings, it'll take until the summer before we ready to go to tender...

Morning Abby

Hi Ed-

Hope you had a decent day!

I went onto the DVC website, and on the right hand side where you can do the points calculator, their is something that says interval international, click on that, then a little ways down it says resort directory, then, it will open a new page, and a map of the world is there with all of the resorts, etc. It was alot of info!! I've been looking at places all afternoon, and not working. LOL

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Hey Abby- heard on the radio this morning about the New Kids comeback. Then the station was playing some of their songs.

Nikki-
Were your ears burning today? I was telling a co-worker about it and she is absolutely beside herself! She said "I am SO there if they come here in concert".

I think you just answered my previous question about your day.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

So sorry to hear that, Ed... The winter weather doesn't help joint problems...

As for me, I'm OK. Still feeling a little nauseous but fighting to get back into the swing of things. At least my tastebuds seem to be working today! Have managed 12000 steps so far - hope to hop on the treadmill later...

Wow Karen!! You are doing GREAT!
