Great pictures are priceless so I say buying a new camera is definitely worth it.

Love the red!

Won't it be fun to see what they think is "picture-worthy?"

Well, since a red sports car is impossible....

Half way through...

I'm glad its not just me! I was beginning to get a complex.

Dang it...I knew why the WW ads were popping up too-when I did a post on Aspergers-I got ads for sensory integration products for a couple days-its a teeny bit creepy that the computer can pick up key words and feed a tie in add onto your post...(& technology isn't my forte so I was excited to know)...btw...congrats on the weight loss...

& then I missed a whole bag enabling portion...-I admire your bag packing ability-you could keep a small village going for a little bit...-well done...

In related PTR News....

Today I took Aunt Rae shopping at Best Buy. She had a coupon for Paul Blart: Mall Cop that was burning a hole in her pocket and she wanted to use it before it expired. (She also wanted to get a copy for Ed for a Father's Day present!)

Anyway, we're looking around and I noticed that Disney has released some of their classic shorts from "the vault." I could not resist, especially because one of them was The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. For some strange reason, we never had this on DVD. (I seem to remember having The Wind in the Willows on VHS a while back, but we no longer have even that.)

How does this relate to our Halloween PTR, you might ask??

Well, the Boo To You Too Halloween Parade is led by a ghostly rider on horseback... the Headless Horseman!! The kids are not even remotely familiar with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, so I'd like them to watch this before our trip so they can get the full effect!!

Now, the only problem is... I really want to watch it now!!!! Should I wait until its closer to Halloween, or just go for it???


Kathy

I see you just went for it & watched-good for you... I love the Headless Horseman & all of those older Dis cartoons...You're going to get to see him at the Halloween party...

I did skip ahead and check out your camera purchase......what Ed doesn't know (in this case) won't hurt him...he'll just enjoy it when he sees all the great photos...

 

[DisneyMomLiz]

Love the new red camera...red is my favorite color. May have to follow that link and check it out

 

[Goofster57]

Hey Kathy,
Cool new camera and as you know I am partial to Red....

 

[eandesmom]

I love it! I wish my camera was red. My laptop and my ipod are It would help a lot as my SIL and mom have the same camera and they are all the same, boring, silver! A good one makes ALL the difference!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

So excited that you go a new camera! Can't wait to see the pictures!!! But you know that I'm one of those nutty obsessive picture taking people!

 

[joy13]

How are things going Kathy?

Hey Everybody!

Sorry I've been neglecting my report (and yours), I just haven't had much time to DIS this past week. I've been working on a new project to be named later...

A few tid-bits:

The new camera arrived and I plan to test it out this weekend... we're going to be "down the shore" at DSis' Eileen's house until Wednesday, so I prolly won't be DISing too much until then!

Ed's pirate costume has been sitting in our closet for about two weeks and he still hasn't tried it on for me!
I hope it fits...

I ordered the pirate/harem pants for myself and am waiting for them to arrive... there's no way I'm wearing a skirt, long or short, to the party! It's more important to be comfortable.

My ticker keeps ticking... I can't wait to be able to say, "Next month I'm going to Disney!!"

Thanks for reading! Until next time,

Kathy

 

[mousescrapper]

have fun "down on the shore"

sounds like an old 1920's B & W film....

your trip is getting closer and closer

I am just looking forward to when I can say "my Disney trip is this year!"

 

[tarak]

I love the new camera! If my husband only knew how my spending habits have been shaped by the dis, he'd have it blocked from home. I keep thinking about getting a waterproof camera. Then I forget. Then I see that someone has purchased a new camera and I think about it again.

 

[jordanyosh]

Nice new camera!

I hope you're having fun at the Shore.

 

[cjackearl]

I hope you're enjoying your new camera, Kathy and are getting lots of great pictures at the shore. Ahhh, I could use a few relaxing days at the beach right about now. Not much longer until you can say, "Next month I'll be in Disney."

 

[KathyRN137]

Hey Everybody!

We're home!

I'm definitely going through DIS-withdrawals! It was a busy week... I spent a lot of time with my sisters and their families... a little beach time... a little pool time... and a whole lot of cleaning and helping Eileen get ready for a triple birthday party at her still-being-renovated house (I know what that feels like!)

Some quick PTR news:

*The new red camera stayed in its box the entire time! Honestly, I was just too busy to get out the instruction manual and get the thing all set up.

Sorry to disappoint... I promise I will get it together soon.

*I did get to watch a few Disney shows that my niece recorded from the Travel Channel... that was very nice! Catie is absolutely dying to try Expedition Everest! I'm glad, because she was a bit bummed that Space Mountain will still be getting refurbed during our trip...

*Ed tried on the pirate costume... Blech! He looked like a cross between a Ninja assassin and a foppish Medieval courtier in mourning. I hated it! Not only that, the pants and shirt were much too big and the vest and belt were ridiculously small. Needless to say, that costume is going back...

*My black pirate/harem pants look good, although I think they're a teeny bit short (I have long legs), but Ed and Tricia both agree that if I get the next larger size that I'll be swimming in them. I will reserve final judgement and give it a few more days before I decide to keep or exchange them.

*Tricia and Catie were shopping together and found a comfy pair of black flat "scrunchy" boots that will work very well with their pirate lass costumes and can certainly be used this fall/winter for regular use. Fortunately it was available in both of their sizes.


I'll post more tomorrow and will catch up with every one of you...

Kathy

 

[jordanyosh]

I'm glad you have the good sense to try things on. I would keep it in the pkg and then just try it on the day of...and I call myself an OTP!

Take your time catching up.....

 

[mrsksomeday]

Welcome back!! Glad to hear you had a good time.

 

[irish dancer]

Welcome Back! So glad you had a great time.

Sorry about Ed's costume, glad he finally tried it on so you can have time to look for something else now.

 

[All7OfUs]

Hooray!! You're back. Sounds like you had a busy, but nice time with your sister, having BD parties, and just hanging out. I don't blame you for not getting the camera out. I bought a new one last year, and it took several hours, straight, to get it set up.

Too bad about the costume. But glad you know it now, and not on party day!

Anyway, happy you're back safely!
