Thanks for not spoiling the ending for me... I'm watching American Idol from the DVR right now. It's almost over... I'm watching the very scary performance by Iggy Pop!

Great purchases today!

Yeah Iggy Pop I had never heard of him & now I know why!!

Thanks. I got it at K-Mart.


It has been a GREAT weekend here in NH. High 50's (which is a heat wave for us here in NH). The sun is out & we actually took a few pieces of our patio furniture & put it out on our back deck. I filled my bird feeders that were out in the backyard. I could not get to them with all the snow but now our snow is gone. I also put out one of my Mickey knomes & some of my birdhouse decorations out front.
Jeff & I took a walk last night. We live in a great neighborhood. It is a development with about 5 streets that you can walk through. We will be going again after our breakfast settles. I will be posting pics later of what came in the mail yesterday from Disneyshopping.com.

So I did a little Disney shopping about a week ago & bought a t-shirt for DH & I of course got one also. Here is a new Grumpy shirt for DH

And this is mine

I thought it was cute & will go well with my new dark green shorts I got. I love the nylon Columbia shorts that have zipper pockets. They dry very quickly. That is usually the only type of shorts I wear while in Disney. I used to be able to get them at JC Penney but now I have to get them online. I have them in about every color available.

About a week ago I paid off our trip. I have a Disney Visa Rewards card & they had a promotion for Jan, Feb, & March. If I charged a certain amount any of those 3 months I get 3X the rewards (which is usually $1.00 for every $100.00). So we charged gas, groceries, etc. And then I would transfer from my checking to my card. So when the end of March was coming I charged the balance of our trip & then paid the card. Hopefully I will have close to $300.00 reward dollars to spend!! I love my Disney Rewards card. I also have these 3 beauties>>

One was given to me last year from Ryan for Mothers Day, one was from the girls in my office for my birthday in Dec. (they know what I wanted) & one was from Ryan for Christmas. I think I will be asking for another one for this Mothers Day. So I should have fun spending them next month!!

DH & I just came back from a walk. It is so nice out right now but they are saying rain for later tonight. We have had a few weekends off with no soccer. Indoor soccer ended last month & next weekend starts Spring travel soccer so some of our weekend will be spent watching soccer. They will have 4 home games & 4 away games. The weekend that we leave Cody will probably miss 2 of the games. There is one the day Ryan graduates but Cody may be able to make that one as it is late in the afternoon but I will probably be home doing laundry & packing unless I can get it done the day before.

Coming soon: Our first full day in Orlando.

Yay for reward dollars and gift cards!

So glad you are getting warmer weather. We are in the low 80's today here in Ohio! Super nice!

About a week ago I paid off our trip.

What a great feeling! I'm putting a hundred dollars a paycheck on mine. It's chipping away at it, though.

Definitely things of beauty...
and the best presents ever!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for warm weather for you! Isn't it nice to feel that spring has arrived!

Cute shirts, and I agree with MeMom -- Disney gift cards make the best gifts!

Ah I would love low 80's I guess I will have to wait a little bit for that though.

What a great feeling! I'm putting a hundred dollars a paycheck on mine. It's chipping away at it, though.

It is a great feeling when you pay for the trip right?? Hey whatever works to get that trip paid is good!. We would have to make payments if it was not for our income tax.

It is a great feeling especially after the winter we had. Everyone here is so anxious for nice weather. It is supposed to be close to 70 here today but cloudy & rainy. Then we are supposed to cool down to high 50's again. It is so nice to hear the birds singing.

I love me some Disney gift cards.

I love your pooh shirt! I was debating ordering that one from the disneystore.com. I have been searching all around for shirts and I just don't seem to see ones that I absolutely love. I'm hoping this next month I find some!

 

[englishrose47]

Love the shirts !!Great idea with the visa card !!

Thanks Jen. I saw that Kathy had gotten it and I had been eyeing it so when I found the green shorts I knew I had to order it. I have a feeling I will find lots of shirts I want when I get to Disney.

Love the shirts !!Great idea with the visa card !!

Thanks Rosie. Yeah I figure I might as well get triple the reward dollars & I only had until April 8th to pay for the trip anyway.

 

[KatMark]

Doreen, I LOVE the shirts. Could it be that it is because I bought the same exact two shirts for Mark and I and we took them with us last week???

I love my Disney Visa card to...it's great.

 

[disneyfan61]

Hi Kathy. That is so funny that you bought both shirts! I knew you had bought the Pooh one but did not know you bought the Grumpy one for Romeo. I asked Jeff if he had that shirt yet because he has so many & he said no so I got it.

I love my Disney Visa card.

 

[englishrose47]

So Doreen if you and Kathy have a Dis Meet You will have to wear matching shirtsCan't let Glenn outshine you

I would love to have a Dis meet with Kathy some day!!
Actually I would love to have a Dis meet with anyone. I was supposed to be meeting Jackie & family but that was the only one planned & now that is not happening.

 

[disneyfan61]

So last night I was laying in bed thinking about all the things I have to do in the next 5 weeks. Today I started a list:

Get my Disney plastic container down cellar & go through it
Order Disney Visa Rewards Card-Just did it
Print Mousekeeping Envelopes
Call car company for pick up on 5/22 & 5/29
Go to Home Depot for LGMH
Roll Ryan's coin (has been saving for 2 years)
Roll my coin-not nearly as much as Ryan

I am sure there is more as the time gets closer. Help me out here Amy. You are a great list maker.

Then things I need to buy:

Sunglasses for DH & Cody
Sunscreen-Neutrogena 70 SP-waiting to see if it goes on sale.
Medications-I am like a walking pharmacy. I bring cold meds, ear drops, tums, advil, etc.

Here are some things I bought already:

When I bought the ponchos the girl at the check out asked me if I was going to Niagra Falls.

Well that's it for now. Got to get back to work. I also have lots of things I want to get done here at home & Cody is starting up with travel soccer this weekend so most of our day Saturday will be on the road.

That would be too funny. And Doreen if it happened, we wouldn't tell the guys....we'd just make them wear them that day.

Good start to the list. My newest "not to be forgotten item" to bring with is the Benadryl spray. I get something similiar to sun poisoning sometimes and I spray that on and it helps me from scratching and spreading (it helps with bug bites too!).

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Good start! Where did you get the ponchos? I want new ones this year that are cheap.

I also take bug spray. If not, I am a walking mess the next morning from bites.

I am starting on my park cards today. Thanks for posting that earlier in your report! It is a great idea.
