2008, 24th/28th Aug - *Double Dipping with the Bahama Mamas*

[micheleluvsmickey]

OMG - I forgot to reply to this one - When we were in SC - I went to the COACH outlet store - and I got a gift for my cousin's wife - she is wonderful, and he is one of my favorite cousins in the world (he is also the police officer that checked my license for me - and he is also going to go w/me to court next month - not sure if I shared that yet) - ANYWAY - her shower is going to be in June - and we (my mom, me and my sisters (UGH)) - chipped in and got her the Coach diaper bag - it was 40% off - I couldn't resist - so, we are each putting in money - and I TOO can't resist babies r us shopping, so I will get some diaperbag related items also to wrap up w/the bag!! I can't wait for her to open it!!!



Diet ............................. I seriously need to get going again -

WTG Evil Twin! You are doing much better than me!!! I've been on WW since January, and I am only down 18 pounds - but, I haven't really been trying for a while!!


WTG Mandy - you are doing great - but, that free dining is going to kill you!! LOL Just kidding!! I have to say - and I've said this before - going on vacation is a license to EAT! LOL Enjoy and who cares - that is why we are all dieting now - so we can stuff our faces on the cruise/trips, etc.


OMG - keep stitch on the 29th - that is when I am going!!!! I think we are 8am!



That's a tough one - Carm and I were talking about this on the LONG drive home - we might check out availability and take it from there.. . I would LIKE to do it, but I don't HAVE to do it - ya know?

Evil - WOO HOO!!! LOL Carm will dress up if he has to - I would like to do Palo's - and we enjoyed it the last time, so, we'll see - I just want to see what night we repeat - and if we could figure out the show schedules - I could care less about the Golden Mickeys - but, I'd like to see the others!



As for dressing up - I do capris and a top - that is the extent of it - Carm will wear khakis and a polo, sometimes a tropical kinda shirt, and the boys usually wear cargo type shorts and some kind of shirt w/a collar. I try to get them tropical types - although, as they are getting older, they are trying to resist that! LOL But, polos are ok.

Not sure about pirate night - usually we'll wear something pirate-ish - but, we don't go all out.


I think Austin will be fine w/the boys - we just need to try to get them together over the summer or something - too bad Austin wasn't into the VMK games online - or if he had AIM - Dominic is a computer geek - he also likes the Wii games - we have an Xbox - but the only thing they play on that is Rock Band...

Look at you - SPLURGING over there! LOL Hey - a bagel isn't the worst thing you can eat!!!!

OMG you have stitch on the 29th...we are truly twins girl.. I will definately keep it. That is our last day after breakfast we are doing some shopping and going home that night.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

What are vmk games online. I will get him interested..lol

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Well it is 1:30 and now i am going to bed . Chat with you all in the morning.

Good Morning Mandy

 

[mandymouse]

Good Morning Girls - or should I say 'Welcome to the Laurie Show' after that marathon catch up last night - way to go girl

It's great to have you back, so you saw how quiet it was without you. Hopefully once the kids are all back at school, everyone will be back on the boards chatting again

Well I'm in a rush this morning, as we're going to pick Paul's motorbike up from the dealer in a couple of minutes

We haven't got anything else planned for today, so I'll have a lazy day at home DISing and hopefully I'll find my way back onto AIM too

Have a great day girls - chat later

 

[LaurieWDW05]

VMK is - Virtual Magic Kingdom - you have to play games to earn stuff to make your own rooms - I really have no clue what it is - but, both of my boys RUN for it in the morning - there are certain times that you can enter certain places - I'll have to have Dominic put in a write-up! LOL

How was work?? You were up late, huh??

Ok - So I TRIED to reply to this one once - and for some reason, it closed out!! What is the deal w/the boards this week?

Anyway - Good Morning Mandy!!

I am glad to be home, I have STUFF everywhere to put away - and I don't feel like doing it!! It was more important that I caught up on the boards than cleaned up the trip stuff! I did start laundry last night though!

Now that I am back I intend on keeping the boards moving! LOL

So, off to get the motorbike, huh? Is it riding weather there today? It is windy here - but sunny - I hope it warms up for the baseball game this afternoon!

Hopefully I'll catch you online later - luckily I don't have any typing work to do today - unless a package comes .. I do have stuff to do for my other job, I don't really want to, but, being I have been away - so, I'll work on that do get a few bucks this week! And when I say a few - that means a 'few'..

Alright, enough of the Laurie show for the morning - I need to do something constructive for a few mins!

Hope all is well w/everyone!
Laurie

Happy Weekend Everybody!

Welcome home Laurie! We missed you!

At the moment I am wrestling Emily for the mouse and she is banging on the keyboard. She is almost all better but still cranky (the fact that the pacifier is being taken away is not helping). She has not left my hip in the last few days. Last night we got my niece and her husband to babysit & went out to dinner with some of Tom's family to a fancy restaurant. It was wonderful! I really needed the break. Tom got home early yesterday morning from Arizona so hopefully the kids will hang out with him a bit too this weekend.

No big plans for the weekend here. Have to take Bryan to something at Tae Kwon Do in a little while then out to dinner with the family (with kids ) No plans tomorrow Ok...Emily is grabbing my hands from the keyboard screaming "mine" so I better go...Chat later

Hey Veronica, it sounds like you had a lovely evening last night. What kind of meal was it ?

LOL, it's good to hear that Emily is getting better, she must be having fun with the computer

Have a great day

Good morning everyone. (well it's morning here for us west coasters)

Not much planned for this weekend (besides work that is) DD has swimming lessons today then a friends b-day tomorrow, their going bowling.

I have a problem there is this big shiny thing in the sky and I'm not sure what it is. It's scaring me!! After four months of rain and more rain it's hard to tell.

Anyway hope you all have a great weekend and I'm counting down the days and changing my plans. I just changed the hotel again!! Now instead of a split stay half universal and half Disney, and then 1/2 downtown Disney & 1/2 onsite, I decided to just stay onsite Disney. I did my own taxes and the refund is bigger then I thought it would be so that will pay for the cruise and the hotel.

How's everyone else's plans coming along. I even signed up for Tour Guide Mike. Anyone else use him?

Take care

I have Tour Guide Mike too. I wanted it for the crowd patterns. My daughter's friend has never been to WDW and I want to be sure they get to do everything they want. We only have 3 days before the cruise to squeeze it all in.

Congrats on getting a refund and getting to splurge on the trip! You'll have to let me know how you like Tour Guide Mike. I've heard of the site but never used it. Have fun planning..I'm just waiting to get my airfare then I will feel complete.

Nope, you've got me there Sandra. It may be something called the sun, but I'm not sure, I haven't seen if for so long - so Sandra, don't go towards the light

Where are you going to be staying in WDW now Sandra ? Are all your ADR's made now ?

Have fun with your planning. I've not used TGM before, I hope you find it useful

Have a great weekend, it sounds like you're going to be busy

I have Tour Guide Mike too. I wanted it for the crowd patterns. My daughter's friend has never been to WDW and I want to be sure they get to do everything they want. We only have 3 days before the cruise to squeeze it all in.

Have they started planning where they want to go and what rides they're going on ?

Have fun planning too Sandy

I actuall tpulled out the suitcases today and started to pack the extra beachtowels and sunblock..lol ..so sad.

Laurie, I will have austin look into that virtual magic kingdom.

 

[kobesam]

Right now we are staying at the Dolphin (I can get gov't rate there) I have made 2 ADR's. 1 at Crystal Palace Aug 20, the other Liberty Tree Tavern for Aug 22. I can't remember the times though.

 

[kobesam]

Okay I don't feel so bad now. I pulled out the suitcases the other day and tried to convince DH that we need a new one as the zipper had a blow out the last trip. (me trying to cram too much crap in it on the way home) I even went through our summer clothes and sorted them out for the trip.
