We only need it for 15 minutes....do we get a discounted rate?

I like the veranda. I don't splurge much, so this is a gift to DH and I.

That could be your love room...send the kids to the other room!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

I don't think I have seen the Notebook. I get so far behind in movie watching...

You must see that movie! Get a box of tissues first!!!!

Since the rainforest is going to be full most of the time we can turn it into a DIS spa gathering place?

Maybe I will take some classes before I leave and have my own little business going on...Oh the possibilities!

 

[klineyqueen]

I am off to bed! Night Caroline...and any one else!

Actually...Jodi, where are you keeping your dress??

My day involved taking DD to the barn...Then DH and i took Abby over to one of the dog parks in the area. There were 3-4 other dogs there and she had lots of fun running around. Then we drove back to Frederick to go to the Post Office. (since when did they decide that they weren't federal employees. They had took today off. OY! So now i have to lug my package back there on Monday....

Then we took Abby to the dog wash....I don't know who really had the bath...us or her

But now she's clean..smells good...and has her nails trimmed

We came home afterwards and caught a mid-day nap....woke up in time to go pick DD up.

Did some shopping...went to dog store for Casey's food. (Abby won't need hers for about another couple weeks.)

Had pancakes for dinner. Yum...

We got mail today.

Yikes! I forgot to have dinner!

I am having a candy treat for the kids issue. I was making up my bags and my DH said...why did you get chocolate. It will melt. Followed by....you have about 7 pounds of chocolate...you will have about 7 pounds of mushy mess. What should I do?

Should I use that for something else and get skittles or what????

Do you think it will melt on the plane or something?

 

[pyramid2000]

Put the kids in one...and make a "love shack" out of the other!!!

We have no idea where the other room will be. We could have gone with an 11 so they would be very close, but it was only half the savings. I don't think the kids are quite ready for that yet either.

We have always taken chocolate from the kid's TOT & what I buy after Halloween on the ship in Nov & Dec. It has never melted. We bring what is left home without a problem. We have brought lots of candy to the clubs too without a mess for the CMs. M&Ms, samores, those M&M candy bars that were out last year too.

Update on our switching:

Got an e-mail from DU and they can't do anything until Monday because group bookings people at DCL aren't there on the weekend. I'll have to hope the GTY 12s hold out through tomorrow. And I *gulp* requested room 6528...

I liked that part!

We like going to PC instead of TS for the first lunch. It is more settled & the kids will actually sit & eat. It is also much easier to go drop your bags off first and then go get some food.

 

[lbgraves]

Wow Becka!

This is one of those things that VCRs, etc have ruined for me. It was a Thanksgiving tradition to come home from gramdmom's after dinner to watch Wizard of OZ this one time of year. Now you can see it anytime... KWIM?

I remember watching it around Easter time.

Hi Caroline - what have you been up to today?

Hi Brandi!

I was not ignoring you. I try very hard to stay focused when I am catching up and don't peek ahead.

Night Brandi!

You may be right Lisa. We also went to grandmom's at Easter.

 

[lbgraves]

Good night everyone! See you in the afternoon.

 

[pyramid2000]

Night Lisa!

Shall I start babbling about my day now, or wait to see if anyone else stops by to play??
