I'm just getting caught up with your trip report. It seems like real life is interfering with my internet life.
That was nice to have "one on one" time in the lazy river with Victoria. She probably loved it, too. I didn't get to spend a lot of "one on one" time with our youngest until the older ones had moved on to college or on their own. At first she was a little overwhelmed with the extra attention. But then we ended up loving all that extra time together.
The monorail is great when it works and a nightmare when it doesn't. From the few hints you dropped, I would guess that you had a bad experience.
I know the feeling Sue! Life has been crazy busy here!
It was so much fun to spend that time with her! We both enjoyed it very much. Sadly - there is only a year difference between my girls, so I will only get one year of one on one time with her... and she will probably be working and doing school. I look forward to whatever time I can get with my girls!
Exactly... Yah - the Monorail doesn't like me at all. I am not sure what I ever did to it?
Hope you have a great weekend D!!
Miss you!!! I think you need to take a weekend off to come over and show me how to sew.. just sayin.. I have several things i need made and i have no idea HOW TO!
Thanks!!! You too!
Hahahaha... It's MUCH easier if you come HERE.
It's not that easy to pack up my machines and move them. But you know I'd be happy to teach you.
Is there any way to commission you to make a bag for my daughter's 13th b-day?
Hi there! And welcome!!! I am very happy to have you here!
Sadly, I am not allowed to discuss my business on The Dis...
I hope you accomplish everything you have planned for today.
Thanks for reminding me about the auction. I had to go on Facebook and check why I haven't seen it. Then I realized that it haven't started yet.
Thanks for thinking about me I'm feeling much better. I'm still sad and it was not fun having fish for dinner yesterday and then remember that no one was meowing because they wanted fish. The only cat really interested in fish was Terkina.
Meeting you next year will be once in a life time. So I really hope we can get it work.
Awww....
I hope the days get easier on you, I know they will. When we lost our Rufus, it was awful! So, I do understand your grief. It will take time.
We will make it work! For sure!
Okay, I have to say, I was avoiding your TR this week since I've been back cause I just haven't had much time.....
But it's my four day weekend so i am gonna try to catch up some around here, finish unpacking what, I had to work all week!)clean up the house (there are disney toys EVERYWHERE!!!!).............so I came to start with you~
I can't even remember everything, I was so far behind! But, I have to say I am super jealous of the water park pics! We don't have a single one, and we went THREE DAYS!!!!!! (there was not a photopass photographer to be seen) BOO!!! I didn't want to take the camera because there would be no one to watch it (Mom and Frank decided not to go to the waterparks) and our phones suck for photos.
I LOVE the bags you have made, of course! You are so talented!!!!! Someday, i will have one!!!!!
Allison and Gus do make an adorable couple......
Okay, I know that i am forgetting TONS! but now that our trip is done, i should have some more time to read about everyone else's! And I may start a TR at some point.....I just have to figure out how to do everything!!! hahahaha (computer iliterate.....)
Hahaha... Thanks for stopping by Raina... I know it's so hard to come back after a trip.
I loved seeing most of your pictures on FB (I don't think I saw all of them though?) - it looks like you all had so much fun!!!
Thanks... I think Alli and Gus are so cute together too.
It makes me so happy to see them so happy together.
I look forward to you starting a TR! Please let me know if you do. I am notorious for falling behind, but I try to pop in everywhere when I can.
Have fun shopping. Hope your week in great.
Liz
Thanks Liz! You too!
D, sorry I'm a bit behind (I've not posted on FB, but my mom is quite ill). I love the Donald bag, and I love the pics of you and V on the Lazy River.
That was very sweet of Santos to bring his family and for you to meet his adorable baby.
Oh the monorail...I know you and it don't get along (nor do we...we rode it twice this past trip but we got lucky for the most part).
Oh and Mark got a part-time job today. Do you want to know where? Wait for it....wait for it.....
TARGET!
Hahaha! Congratulations Mark!!! So, what was he hired to do? Is he seasonal?
I am sorry to hear about your mom... I completely missed that. Many hugs to you and your family, I plan to stop by your TR this morning so I can see what is going on. Just know you are in our prayers Kathy.
Hope your shopping trip went well. So far out weekend plans are going to ruined by some rain, but it will be a lazy day instead. I'm all for that. We have been too busy and just need it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks - it did. I have no idea what the weather is going to be like here.
I never watch the news anymore, and I think I am a much better person for it. There is just so much bad stuff in the world - I don't want to know about it. I hope you have a great weekend thoug.
**********************************************************
Well, I did Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred yesterday - Level 3... It was a great workout - I sweated my behind off.
Then I got ready... Prepped my auctions... So, at 10am, all I had to do was hit "post" and I could run out the door.
Which is exactly what I did.
BFF and I did a few things at her house before we left. We were getting a late start on our day anyways, so I told her that I could grocery shop another time...
We went to the mall instead. I realized on the way to her house that my Gymbucks expired last week... But I had a coupon for an additional 20% off my purchase, and with their sale going on - I was still happy with what I was able to get Thomas for Christmas. Myrthe saw an outfit she loved when she was here, and it was still full price... I was able to get him a bunch of outfits from this line, and it was only $50... I am pretty happy with that. When BMT were here, Myrthe told me that Brian just LOVED all the Gymbo outfits we sent last Christmas for Thomas - and he always dressed Thomas in them... It warmed my heart to know they were used well.
Might as well continue the tradition. LOL
Then we headed to Victoria's Secret... I finally purchased myself a pair of Boyfriend sweatpants... I've been wanting a pair of these in a bad way since I got Alli a pair for her birthday last year... They are so cute on her and look so comfy. So, I finally got a pair of my own - in a size
SMALL!!!!!
Now, don't get too excited... They run incredibly HUGE... But it was exciting for me anyways. And now that I know what size I wear - I can go on to Ebay and hopefully find them cheaper if I want another pair.
Hmmm... Where did we go after that?
Oh yah - Trader Joes... I really wish they would open one of these in the south metro... It's so far to go to get to one, so I always have to stock up when I go, because I don't know when I am going to get to go again. I purchased a TON of stuff there...
Then we went back to BFF's house... She is notorious for buying things in smaller sizes if she finds a good deal. Well, she has been organizing her room this week and filled an entire xl space bag full of clothes in size Med and size 10 for me to try on... So, I went through that bag, and picked out several items to try on... I think I ended up with 5 pair of jeans and a bunch of tees... All of it NWT! Seriously! Brand NEW stuff! All of the jeans are still a smidge too tight - but now I don't have to buy any clothes for my next size down! This makes me soooooo happy!!!! These are just loaners though - I promised I would give them back when I outgrew them.
BFF saved the day again! I just
her!!!
After that - it was off to pick the girls up from school. I promised Alli I would go sit with her and kill some time between school and work for her. So, we went grocery shopping.
I dropped her off at work and did my Target shopping at my own store. I actually did some couponing this time around. My total started at $198 and I paid $124. Not too bad. We were OUT of everything though - the last real shopping trip I'd done was way before our trip in August. So, I was beyond overdue.
V and I came home... Put away groceries... Had dinner... Watched movies.
Gus picked Alli up from work at 9:30 and brought her home. I sure like that kid.
After they got here, we all finished watching Cool Runnings together... We went to bed and Alli n' Gus stayed up and watched a movie she'd purchased at work. I have no idea what time Gus left? But I know Alli slept on the couch last night, because she is still there this morning. It wouldn't surprise me if he just left because she fell asleep... She had been up since 4:30 yesterday morning.
Wow... That was JUST yesterday... If any of you actually read all of that - I commend you!
Today... The only plans I have are to end my auction this morning and a manicure with my neighbor this afternoon. I plan to be lazy all day long otherwise.
I hope you all have an amazing day today!!! Prayers and good thoughts to all of you!
D~
I wish I could post the pictures I took - but I cannot. So, you'll just have to trust me that she is adorable!
(what, I had to work all week!) 
, clean up the house (there are disney toys EVERYWHERE!!!!).............so I came to start with you~ 
I am SO glad you take your report slowly! 
Looks like you ladies had a blast! We LOVED Blizzard Beach. Disney just knows how to do things right, don't they? We found that out for sure on the cruise. Brian even commented on how Disney just does things up so wonderfully. We are fans for life!
