Ugghhh, mornin' everyone. We stayed up way too late last night. We went up to Myrtle Beach to play putt-putt (aka mini golf) and then went to Margaritaville for dinner.
And for those of you doing the Tequila Tasting.....here's something to keep you going for the next two months:

Somebody that can talk as much as Cheryl??This person I have to meet. Thank you to Kristina, Tracy, Arlene, and whoever Cheryl has been having marathon phone calling, and comcast for the unlimited long distance.
to myself at night, it's quite, and less chance for me to get into trouble
But ya gotta love her
John
When I had a heart MRI a few years ago the tech put me in the MRI and I freaked out.She had to take me out and put a mask over my eyes before she put me back in so I couldn't see how tight it was. It is amazing I didn't have a heart attack while they were doing the test.
I have no trouble with Mission Space though. When I read the warning about enclosed spaces I was nervous, but I didn't have any problems. I know I shouldn't ride this ride because of all the warnings and the number of people with the same condition as me who have died on this ride. But I am on medication and if I go that is the way I want to go.I figure it is just a CYA for Disney.
I went on Mission Space once, and once was enough for a lifetime. I generally don't do well with spinning rides, and despite their best efforts - well, I didn't get sick, but it did take some recovery time. Just had to try it though....
My mother has been known to say that she is the reason I save everything - she got rid of everything!! When oldest dd was born Dh's aunt hand smocked quite a few beautiful dresses for her.....
my mother says *Oh, when you were born a bunch of the old ladies in town (my mom grew up in a town of 1,100) made you hand smocked dresses.*
Me *Where are they?*
My mom *Oh, I got rid of them as soon as you outgrew them.*
We moved into this house on Feb 1st...... Our other house still has a couple of rooms filled with stuff, a 2 car garage filled and 2 attics filled.......
My mom is the same way. When I am at her house I can't even set my drink down or else it will be dumped and the glass washed before you can blink.
The only thing I have from my childhood are my yearbooks. So now, like many of you....I save too much. I wouldn't say I'm a "pack rat", but I have a tote full of "special clothes" the kids wore and I've kept drawings and school work from each year. My dh thinks I went overboard when I refused to throw away dd's little pink cast from when she broke her arm at 3 years old. How could I get rid of that??? Her arm will never be that little again!
.LOVE 8pm! But, 8:30 is wwaaayyy too late!
Yes..........we loved the 8:00 pm.
DH and I were discussing this -- he is trying to convice the CEO that it is a good idea for their Factory & the Warehouse. And perhaps a few other postions. The CEO thinks it's a bad idea..... So, dh is waiting for one of the *idiot add kissers* to suggest it to the CEO and then he will think it's the best idea since sliced bread......
It is a shame no one is listenting to Jon.
Big benefit is the money saved on gas and communte time for the employees. Another plus is the down time on the lines for maintenance of machines.
John's depeartment was not going to do the 4 tens a week but he convinced the President it would be beneficial to the company if he did this!!
I guess he might have a little lawyer in him(or just a big mouth living with me).
DH says that is one of the worst thigs about CA...... The beach/coast is too cold even in the summer to swim!
Boy...give me the Gulf anytime!!
When I talk to Cheryl that is what I do.
I know you love to talk as much as I do!!
My Mom didn't save anything either. I don't have anything from my childhood.

I stand corrected!
ITA! Are we definitely confirmed for the 8:00 p.m. seating? Thanks!:
DCL did not seem to have a problem of us requesting times. We are helping them put people together at tables.
My mother would've done that! She threw everything I ever owned out. Her house was spotless. Not a picture of any of us anywhere to be found. Never would she hang up one of our drawings or papers from school. She was always a maniac about cleaning around the house & heaven forbid something was out of place. I have vowed to be the complete opposite of her. Papers & drawings from the kids are hung all over my kitchen. I saved some of their baby outfits, drawings, toys, etc. in a bin for each of them. I put pictures of them all around & my house is the complete opposite of spotless, but I'm hardly ever stressed either. So the coffee table is filled with magazines, toys & papers. So my laundry is all over the floor. So my kitchen table is piled with mail. It's not going anywhere!
I actually let kids PLAY in my house!
I hate even the teacups at WDW.

And, yes, I do still have the little green cast that my DS wore when he was 4 and I plan to keep that too! (Actually, I think my kids are worse than I am...they don't want to throw away anything! 
)
Yes I think we need to be Party Hearty Animals of the Late Dining!!!
We did not turn it into DCL as of yet....still waiting on a little info from peeps.Should be by the tomorrow or Monday. We will have to confirm room number with them when GTY status is changed .
We are getting there the same day! Same hotel too!
You sure do have a lot of eating packed into those 5 days!
I wasn't going to make ADR's for the first few days, I really am fine with winging it, but maybe I should put something on the schedule just in case?!?
I have the ADR's for Friday and Sat when DH and DD3 will be joining us. Then Sun. morning, I thought we would go to Early Entry at DL and do all the little kid rides for little Jessica, come back to the Concierge lounge and grab some food to tide us over and our private shuttle to the port arrives at 10:30. That should be workable, right?
I love Story Tellers Cafe as long as we don't have cell phones in bowls of ice cream and I also was thinking of adding the DTD Italian place. I am so glad that we have plenty of days to see the 2 parks, we can take our time!
I got some tuxes for the boys on ebay and I finally had a change to give them to the boys today. They were surprisingly excited and we had fun trying them on. Then I went to get DD3 from the neighbors and when I came back, they were both wearing the tuxes, had found black sunglasses and were making silly poses. It was really funny! I love my teens!!!!
They are really good sports for mom!
The deal I got on ebay was FANTASTIC, and well worth the money. I paid about $90 total for 2 tuxes, including shirt, vest, bow tie, pants and jacket. That cost included shipping too!
They are by no means high quality, but they will work for what we need them to and even if we never wear them again, they have saved me money as it was a lot less expensive than renting!
OH, another shopping update...
I finally made it to Walgreens today to try to get the Neutrogena sunscreen special...I found the sale items along with the free sunscreen stick but none were packaged with a little tube, then when I was in the cosmetic section, they had a display set up and there were only a few tubes left with the bonus package. Yippee, so I got my deal. Plus the make up I was looking for had 50% off AND the clerk came over and said that she had $1 off coupons for all the make up I was buying. So I got a GREAT deal on everything! Thanks for the tips everyone!
Cheryl has you trained well!
You have that right!!!!
You are a sweetie!!
I am glad we all agree that theme nights are secondary compared to missing half the fun at tnight!!
Glad you realize.
I only let you think that you are never wrong.
We could try for a 4 hour but neither of our batteries last that long!!!
I just wonder if I can keep up the pace of cooking now.
All you have done so far is warm up leftovers.:
John stuck his arms out before the entrance of the MRI and refused to go through with it.
Hey Tom.....I invested 47 year(40 of those we will be married) of training!!!! You think he would get right by now.

And she keeps throwing away mail I haven't had a chance to go through. I can't complain though because I don't have to hire a housekeeping. She doesn't cook, but she does keep the house clean (at age 83).I hate even the teacups at WDW.
Ya know, since I had DD, I have a much harder time with any of those crazy rides. The first time to WDW, I went on MS and had to sit on the grass outside to recover! I refused after that till last trip when I went on the wimp side and was ok with that.
That is a great idea.I usually talk on my house phone which is cordless but does not do well on long marathon talks.
Do you switch to another cordless phone halfway through the conversation? I've done that before too!
Maybe you keep missing my question but what time are you going to be at LAX Marriott??? I thought we might get to say hi!!! I just looked up the room rate and it is now $199 during August. The original rate was $139 a night.
I still don't believe we're at the same hotel! I just checked and the "Los Angeles Airport Mariott" is still $99... Are you staying at a Courtyard, by chance? Hmmmm...
