Patience is a virtue, yeah right.

Alright, a TOP with patience (not my strong suit).

It must be............you have the patience to wait for the cruise!!!

Happy birthday Jeff

Great on the run Jim

That is very cool, isn't it? I think Mark and Mary should make ALL of our signs!

That sure would give me more time trying to keep up with all the chatter on the boards.

How come that "goal" is not in your signature???

Today I signed up for the Disney 1/2 Marathon in January 2007. I could put that in my signature.

Or maybe the 5K at MGM in 2 weeks. That one just looks cool. Matt and I may run that one and than we will all go to Everest afterwards.

Or maybe the 10K at Epcot in Octobor during Food and Wine. That is the one I'm really looking forward to.

To many goals and not enough space in my signature.

All of these are reasons why WDW is no longer empty during their slow times. They don't have slow times any more. They keep adding events that bring in people and $$$$.

Back to number crunching. I'm obviously trying to keep from giving any more of our money to the government than I absolutely have to. Would rather spend it cruising!

We have someone do our taxes as we have way too much going on for us to deal with and DH informed me that we are going to have to pay in a way lot this year!!! Not looking forward to that what with 3 cruises coming up and a bat-mitzvah who has those funds lying around!!!

The design in the sand was already there. DVC hired some sand artists to do a sand sculpture the day we were on the island. Here is what it really looked like:

So the picture we started with had the sand sculpture and the ship in the background. Since we can't use the DVC logo or Mickey on the shirts (our group is looking at having them done on either cafepress or zazzle) I enlisted Mark's help with Paint Shop Pro to get rid of them. Then I added in the other text, cropped the picture into an oval and added the wording around the outside. Our cruise isn't until October so we are still in the talking design stage for the shirts. There have been some other awesome designs but they incorporated the characters and can't be used. Still waiting to see if anyone else comes up with anything.

Cool,
Why can't you use the characters???

I am finally done with our 2005 scrapbook. 54 12 x 12 pages covering our June trip to WDW, our road trip to the DVC Member Cruise, our quick November weekend for Food & Wine Festival, and our December trip to Disneyland. I'm so happy that is done! Now I just need to reclaim my dining room as a dining room.

Funny how we all use our dining rooms for that, well at least your's seems to get used. We have never eaten in ours but it is piled high with things I plan to scrap and where I 'hide' my shopping!!!

Smart business plan!!!

That's called cannibalism and it's frowned on in most societies.

You left out our buddy!

Cool,

That nasty little word called 'copyright'... The online places know better than to even think of infringing.

We have someone do our taxes.....

There sure has been a lot of talk about taxes going on. I'm working on my part of the taxes right now.

Sharon is a CPA. Guess who does our? Not Sharon.

We pay a CPA to do our taxes.

I finally caught up, we had a hectic day today

DD had to be at the high school for an orchestra clinic at 9.15
Had to go pick up Baseball shirts from having names put on 1/2 hour drive
Stopped at our friends bagel store for breakfast
Went to baseball practice at 12pm and handed out all the info and uniforms
Came home and finished cleaning up from dinner last night
Went to DD concert at 3pm
DS has a party at 4.30pm
DD has one at 5pm and my sister is coming to stay with the kids as we have dinner plans with friends and need to pick DD up by 10pm.
Crazy Saturday which is supposed to be my day of rest!!!

I was reading on the design board and they seem to think that as long as it is for your own personal use you should be fine - you are not selling them. Some of the husbands are lawyers but who knows!!

Sometimes it's the smarter thing to do!!!

Who am I to argue with a CPA about doing taxes? After all, she is the one who writes the checks for DCL.

I have the deluxe one...hmmm no other problems eh?

uh...no...sorry, wish i was more help.

My dining room is a school room. Wonder what I'll do with it when Nick graduates....

hmmmmm...

Banfi Update We have a new liquor store in our neighborhood and I stopped by today for the first time. It was a pleasant surprise to see they stock Banfi. (Kikipug, it's the one next to Publix)

Of course I had to buy a bottle to just make sure it is the same stuff we enjoy at Epcot.

I am dreading doing our taxes this year. Usually it is not a big deal, I use turbo tax badda bing badda boom. But this year we have a problem. As long as DH and I have been employed we have contributed to the employee stock purchase paln (14 years for him and 8 years for me) Every pay period we put x money towards stock. Well at the beginning of 2005 they discontinued the program and sent out checks.....I have been to turbo tax and tried to input the info and it wants to know the exact dates we purchased stock????Uhmmmmmmm I dont know!!!!!!!!!sigh..........

If you have the correct year...and maybe month...then that's good enough.
