Please forgive me for bragging

about this but my DGS just won first place and 2nd chair in the symphony band from his school in this district. Next is state. He hasn't even been playing a year. We are so pround of DGS. Does anyone know if they sell mickey with a saxiphone(sp) ornaments at DD?
That is AWESOME! He must truly have a gift to excel so quickly.
I I am still trying to find out directions from WDW to PC. Anyone know?
The directions you have sound pretty foolproof; I know Wendy also has some on the blog.
What time is everyone getting to the port? I know check in starts at 1pm I believe but we usually try to get there a bit sooner

. The ecitement and anticipation overcome us.
We're planning on being there as soon as we can, 10-10:30 apparently. Also helps us with our car rental as it turns out, as we'll be picking up at about 10:30 am two days previous. This is our first cruise, but it seems like lots of people here say you might as well get there early...so, early out of the hotel in Orlando, breakfast at Waffle House I think then we're on our way!
I can't think of a product for teaching computer skills to younger elementary students.
Don't know what "computer skills" you're looking for, I don't want ds learning how to crack my password

but his teachers recommended a free download called "TuxTyping" for keyboarding. Just search "Tux Typing". He's in grade 2 and seems to like it.
Just came to the name of the guy we bought our business from three years ago. Even though he signed a noncompete he opened another business just like ours about a mile down the road at the end of August.

And he took two of our mechanics.
Turns out not so bad because I thought one was stealing from us. DH is way too trusting. Mechanic is gone and now we aren't lsong $5000-8000 a month in parts. I knew it was the guy for about 18 months but DH wouldn't deal with him. DH still won't talk about the fact I had the guy so figured out. I can also tell who is not going to pay their bill when they walk in the shop. I am right 95% of the time. Not sure why but I can tell.
Oh, shoufl previous owner get a card. His wife, the insurance agent, opened the new truck repair shop. Technically it is not his. He just owns the building and visits his wife at her shop all day long.
This made me cranky to read--no fair! OTOH, sounds like what goes around comes around on the mechanic he's "gotten back". They deserve each other...
They sometimes have singing, dancing, bands, or little skits on a small stage beside the lake.
Then there's that jolly

old man you can tell what you would like for Christmas.
.
Ooo, I didn't know he'd be there! We're missing all our chances here, b/c we'll be gone so much of Dec. That'd make a truly unique addition to our "photos with Santa" collection.
We use to live in Ft. Myer's close to Sanibel and the beach area. I loved it there. I wished we had never left.
My grandson use to really love going to the
LEGO store at DD. He never wanted to leave.
Ds has about 8 wks of allowance saved up for the lego store.

BBB for dd, Lego for him...
ok I really Need to go to bed... But I wanted to share my HoroScope with you all....

That's perfect Stacy!!
Oh, has anyone done the Adventures by Disney? I just booked the Once Upon a Fairytale (Germany) trip for next summer!
That sounds really cool. I want to do Germany with the kids, the castles are...well, fairytale! I'd be interested to chat with you about the itinerary.
I went to the mall trying to hunt down shorts. You would think this would be easy seeing as i live in florida and it is 85 degrees out today...but nope...no shorts to be found.
Oh no! I just realized yesterday the kids seem to have outgrown their shorts, was planning on picking some up...
Have been busy, but nice to see a little catching up needed! We are "officially" signed up for door decorating (Stefanie, mommyoftwinfants, idea), but there were only a couple of us, the more the merrier! As I said, we're mostly about enthusiasm rather than talent, but dd will want to participate in anything that's going.
OMG, I haven't packed this "heavily" since we were carrying jollyjumpers and diapers (not all that long ago!). Seems like I have to pack twice as much by way of clothes seeign as we have to be presentable for dinner every night! At this point I've got the clothes "done" for me and the kids and have today to do everything else--toiletries, electronics, etc. Then my grand plan is to have tomorrow to do the "house" stuff, ship the guinea off to camp, make up the beds with fresh linens, clean out the fridge and the fruit bowl, etc. I hate the thought of coming back to disorder and disarray--usually that's our norm

but I find it harder to take after I've had maid service for a couple of weeks!

What do you
mean, no-one picked up those towels since I dropped them there two weeks ago???
It's snowing like crazy here right now, looks soooo beautiful. BUT we have that 11 hr drive looming on Wed., so I'm hoping the sky tires itself out and it's clear driving on Wed. We were thinking we'd leave Tues evening but looks now like we'll just drive long and hard Wed., as there's snow in the forecast for tomorrow but not Wed. Wish us luck...
