Men !!!

I am about to prove the Jersey in me. kinipsh**

I have used/heard that word in years!

Do you notice that we say "Jersey" instead of New Jersey!


Cam, I know the shoes that you are talking about. They are absolutly adorable except on my feet. I just dont look right in them for some reason.

Back to the regularly scheduled report...

 

[pooh'smate]

on another great update. Even if it was a drive-by one. I enjoyed every minuete of it.

OMG!!! I haven't read all the posts but I'm slowly reading through your TR and I'm laughing my butt off!!! Also crying when Minnie "remembered" meeting Sally! Of course it doesn't help my emotions that we just returned from last week in Disney - I'm suffering PDSD - Post Disney Stress Disorder!

You should consider professional writing - you have a gift!

I knew Jay would be the type to be reasonable about girl/boy stuff. It just always makes me laugh how freaked out some men get about the whole "but he's a boy" thing (like your uncle or my friend's husband).

BTW - in Southcentral PA we go to the shore as well.

Happy weekend everyone!

Another great report MissCammie! I have been clipping bits of your verbage and putting them together as a little cheat sheet for our November trip to WDW. My boys are already practicing proper Disneylike behavior.

Would you mind sharing the site where you bought the matching clothes for your dinner at Coral Reef? I'd like to maybe get something matchy for us!

Looking forward to the next installment!

I certainly hope my "verbage" is helpful!!!

I got the matching outfit for the kids at Disneyshopping.com! Usually every summer there is an entire "family" outfit on the site. At the moment there are family tees and at least one "mommy and me" outfit. The new family outfit isn't online yet! Check the outlet section though...sometimes they have that stuff. I got the dress for $9.99 I think...maybe less...they were way on sale. So if you can wait, almost always the prices go down on the clothing. Also this weekend, Disneyshopping.com is having free shipping with $50 purchase. Pretty decently priced stuff. I got a Hannah Montana romper for Sally for $11.00 or something like that! I'm sure it will as big a hit as the dress was last summer! The dress is great b/c the straps on the dress can button higher or lower as the munchkin grows. Sally loves that dress and it will fit her for this summer too!!!

eventually I will overcome my fear of the sewing machine and learn to sew stuff!!

hoping all appliances are behaving...so you can give us more!!!

I used to LOVE those Chinese flip flops! When I last worked in the city (2003) I used to wear them on the LIRR and change my shoes at work!I only had them in black though... I remember the day of the blackout, I fogot them at home and wore my usual 3 inch heels. Man did I regret that because I didn't have much cash on me and the street vendors were selling them for $25 EACH! Such lowlifes! Nonetheless, I had to walk over the 59th street bridge barefoot!

Subbing - looks like a fun TR!

oh my gosh...I remember that black out!! I was on vacation somewhere down the Jersey shore getting bitten to death by horseflies and cursing the entire shoreline! Last time I EVER went down the shore!

I can't believe that the vendors marked up their price like that...I mean I CAN believe it...but talk about bad karma! ICK for your poor feet!!

I know about walking across bridges...course I wasn't barefoot...but I was downtown on September 11...had to walk across one of the bridges to get out of Manhattan. It was nuts.

ick even remembering it.

On a happier note, the next chapter is coming along! I better get a move on or my TR won't be finished before the next trip comes along!!! That would just be bad TR form!!! I can't believe it's pert near June already!!

I love reading your report. I have to agree, you do have a gift for writing- seriously! Many times I tear up or giggle at your stories- it is Disney Magic!

 

[castmemberb4]

I know, right?!

as long as they aren't red and sparkly, Jay's good...Teddy also has a strong passion for my red high heeled "Wedding Heels"...the child LOVES to wear them!

You had Red wedding heels, How cool are you !?!?

 

[CampbellScot]

You had Red wedding heels, How cool are you !?!?

yeah...everything was too...pristine...y'know? I had intended upon wearing a very sparkle-y pair of Stuart Weitzman "wedding" heels. But I have always had a lifelong passion for RED shoes...it's my Dorothy/Tragic Ballet complex...sparkley red shoes are the BEST.

I had been in my best friend's wedding (an actual wedding, NOT the movie... ) two summers before and red had been the color of our dresses and shoes. I'd loved the shoes...AND it just so happened that my wedding day was the exact same day as my best friends. (we hadn't planned it that way, it was just the fateful day our venue was available!) So I wore my red shoes as a nod to my girl, and my "something old"...and it satisfied my need to have some COLOR on my body! My mother was VERY bossy about all my wedding "layers" being white...*ahem* She wasn't playing either!

The only time my shoes were visible was when I was walking down the aisle and having to hold my dress up so I wouldn't trip. It made for some cute pictures! I even heard a childhood friend say to her mom as I passed "Mom, look, red shoes just like Dorothy!"

VERY satisfying!

almost done with the next chapter!!!

Those are the shoes that I wore at my wedding! The reception that is. I wore 3 inch white flip flops for pictures in the park (a lot of walking), silver sandals with a wide heel for walking down the grass aisle and then the Stuart Weitzman's for the indoor reception. Red high heels are fun! I'm sure your honey loved 'em

 

[ddisney333]

OK, enough lurking for me. MissCammie you crack me up. I just love this TR. I cant get enough. I started reading your TR over the weekend and I am finally caught up. Anxiously awaiting more...
I see that you are going in Aug. When will you all be there? We are going in August too.This will be our first time going in August. We will be there the week of 8/14 through 8/21. Any advice you can give?

Sweet Sally with the cheerios and silly Teddy in manly camos. Great chapter!

What a great story !

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

yup the term "going down the shore" I learned right here in Jersey. It's a VERY Jersey term...right along with answering statement one agrees with by saying "I know, right?!"

That is a Boston thing too . I end way to many sentences with RIGHT?

We just went to a wedding right before Valentines day and the brides dress had red down the back and she had on red Heels too. I was very impress and she looked Beautiful as I am sure you did also

Great trip report MissCammie!

I have spent the last 3 days reading your TR - at home and at work (but that'll be our little secret!).

BTW I hate to be wet too. And pools gross me out. Oh, and hot tubs are the nastiest things ever invented! I actually saw a little boy snorkeling in one once. I think he's dead now.
