ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Now I have to go see who got the big 000 today!

My plan is to leave Baltimore around midnight on Thursday. With any luck I'll miss any of the two beltway traffic problems and be in VA by 2AM. After that it will be smooth sailing down to WDW. I expect to arrive around 2PM on Friday.

What are your plans?

I am leaving on Sunday, the 3rd, with my youngest. We will be travelling with my niece to Georgia to help get her moved in to her new house. Not sure which way we will go or when we will actually leave.

Atlanta is a long way from I 95. If Patsy is driving she will go down I 75 to the Florida Parkwayto Orlando.

I will be stopping in Warner-Robbins GA. Looks like it is over an hour away from Atlanta. I took I 75 from there last September.

NO! I paid only about $150 from B&H Photo. You can find them online. They are reputable.

Thank you Brack. I thought that was a bit high.

I am working on my Christmas cards right now & think that I came up with an idea. I was going to suggest that we make a master list of addresses so that we can exchange cards as well. However, what if we pass out cards in the stockings. We can put our return address labels on the inside of the cards so that they are not visible.

That sounds like a good idea Lisa!













Now she wants me to buy Christmas cards!

Ugh... so not happy with my suitcase... it's way too bulky. It must weigh 10 lbs empty... might have to pick up a new lightweight one along with the garment bag tomorrow....

I am here in Arkansas and since DD is taking a nap and my Dad took DS fishing I thought I would take a few moments to pop in and say Hi! It looks like everyone has made good progress towards the 60k goal.

I may try to read for a while but I probably should not stay online too long since I am visiting with family. We will get home early evening tomorrow so I will have to try to catch up while watching Amazing Race and DH(W).

I bet Nathan had a ball with grandpop today!!

 

[pyramid2000]

I just figure out a way to keep the kids quiet for a while. I signed DH & my name to our cards & they are each signing their own names. DS is practicing signing his name in cursive too!

I have found that it gets old with mine after about 10 or so.

Hopefully yours lasted longer!

Here is a search for them on pinpics.com.

Thank you so much Lisa. Now I know they are out there and how to spell Brer Rabbit correclty! Found some on e-bay.

Too bad we are a couple hours off of 95.

I was looking at the possibility of taking 17 down if we took the ferry...You are about 6 - 7 hours from when we get to DE.

Well . . .

My turn for a crazy cruise dream . . . but mine was more recent . . .

I dreamed that Caroline posted all the way to 57,999 last night, and left it there for me to get the since I was getting up early this morning. To my chagrin, Brack got up with JoJo ahead of me (pesky dog had to go out) and snagged the from me! I think he posted something about Mac users being slow on the draw.

Woke up in a cold sweat.

I'm not THAT nice!

Today when I returned the DVD player I picked up Twister & Cadoo. IDK if I will save them for Christmas or take one out for us to play this weekend.

On the way out of Target today they had a bunch of movies by the registers for $9 - $15. I grabbed 5 different ones and told the girls I will wrap them for them even if they watch them before Christmas!

Target had nothing of interest on sale that saw today. Of course I didn't even get close to the toy aisles. I now know there is no way I could shop on BF. Too many people for me even today.

Ok the Albertsons we are hitting in the hummerzine, does not carry wine or beer, but will have liquor, what is that? So are there any wine/liquor shops with in close taxi ride distance to WDW? Oy va!

Pj

They should have wine and beer in the store as well as in the adjacent liquor store? What do you need PJ....? Particular brand?

 

[lillygator]

There is a Publix on the way to the port, close to the Port, but I always take the wrong exit. I doubt if we will stop there this time though as we are on a mission to get to the port . .

There is a really BAD grocery store at the crossroads - can't remember what store . . . but prices were sky high, and service was AWFUL.

Goodings?

DIS Geeks playing twister in the atrium at midnight . . .

Anyone game?

John1

at this point do you even have to ask?

 

[lillygator]

Brack - Kansas played a great game, of course I am disappointed with the loss but am proud of how far our basketball team has come in the last 10+ years...

USC looks to be playing OSU! Yeah Angie, Dennis, John and Amy.....!

 

[lillygator]

PJ - is it just not on your fax order form or did you call? I did a search on Albertson's.com for only stores (Orlando) with beer, wine and liquor and the OBT (orange Blossom Trail) was one that came up.
I will call them in a bit and see for you.

 

[lillygator]

Amy and John - the house looks fantastic! I love white lights! And the xmas tree upstairs, LOVE IT!
We started with our lights yesterday and got the front on the house finished but need to finish up tomorrow. Maybe we can get our tree although John thinks we should wait until we get back!
