a princess and a pirate will enjoy disney to celebrate their 5 year anniversary:)

Just caught up. I worked the last two days so I haven't been dising. I hope the headache is better . I can totally relate. I feel so bad about how Josh's job is going. Dale is the same way with his job. I get so upset with him for always putting his job first and not feeling that he is as important. He will go to work sick or not.

I love your new tops. I am going to wait until closer to time for us to go to Disney before I buy me any new clothes. I am hoping to at least lose 15 more pounds before we go and I am in between sizes now. I feel really good about it though, I started out a size 20 and now I am between a 12 and 14. If I can get down to a 10 before we go I will be on .

We first went to Sci-Fi three years ago and since then we go back every trip. We really love it there. Dallas thinks it is very cool to eat in the car . We had his "birthday" lunch there in May. That is where we got the $80 cake delivered. The food is OK, but the atmosphere is so much fun.

I will keep your grandmother in my prayers. I hope she is feeling much better and her surgery goes well.

Dana thanks so much for your kind words Its very tough sometimes having a hubby with a crazy job! i am glad i know someone that can relate! Josh is like that too he can be soo sick and still go to work-- actually back in November he got soo stressed out that he actually passed out and split his head open and ended up in the hosepital overnight!!! he deals with so craziness at his job!!!

I am glad you like the new tops I think i just need to get two more and then i will have enough for disney you are so sucessful on your weight loss that is awesome!!! I know the feeling it is so exciting getting new clothes in a smaller size!!

I am very glad you enjoyed sci-fi!! I just want to go in for a appetizer or something smal just for the experience i still love that cake you got for Dallas!! it looked soo good!!!

thanks for the prayers for my grandma-- i will keep you updated how everything goes

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

you and Ian are going to have a blast!!! woohoo!!! Yeah the phone calls will be stopping while we are at disney LOL i dont care what it takes how was camp with the kids? did it help your day go fast?

Ooo you'll have fun at Sci-fi!! The atmosphere is just so fun!! I really like it. I don't think making an ADR just for apps is bad, hey you're eating there, aren't you! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!! Oh god, I'm too excited for words!! I know we're going to have fun!! Ian's really excited too!! I'm glad he's so excited, I was worried he wouldn't be but he is!! Oh I'm glad you'll make sure he has a good vacation too without annoying phone calls!! Camp was fun, it's my last time up there with the kids so I'm glad we got to go. It was chilly though because of the wind but it was nice. It definitely made the day go by faster!! When I got back to the daycare I pretty much did nothing!! Put some kids to sleep, washed the dishes, and then just sat there and talked with some of the girls! Haha, it's such a hard job!! I'm glad they figured out what was wrong with your grandma and I hope the surgery goes well for her. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts. Ooo love the new amika!! Very cute!! This time keep it away from your hubby!!

sorry everyone i have been MIA for a few days I have been very busy! My granny ended up having to get her gall bladder removed-- and i have been back and forth visiting to the hopspital, she is doing well and came home today she is very tired-- but very tough! The doctor said her gall bladder was so bad it was like leather! he said that this had to have hurt her for a long time and she must have just no complained my granny is like a second mom to me-- i was really worried about her-- but i am soo glad she is home and that she has everything taken care of before we went to disney i would be a wreck if something happened to her while we were at disney!

on the upside this weekend i went to the my dad's side of the family annual pigroast -- and had some sangria it was a lot of fun!! Sunday it was very hot and i went swimming and got things done around the house and Josh and I just relaxed!!

Now i need some help with shopping I am trying to finish up with getting the clothes i need for disney this weekend-- these are the shirts i am thinking of getting from american eagle

i think the white would be nice a cool-- or what do you think of the black?

then i was thinking of this shirt-- I have a light pink pair of jeans shorts from american eagle already and was thinking grey and pink? what do you think yes or no? or maybe just jean shorts with this shirt?

now i still do not have animal kingdom shirt-- which one do you think looks more like a animal kingdom shirt and which one do you like better? I want something cool-- since its so humid up there!!

or this one

and i also like these 2 but i have to pick and choose LOL even though i want these all i don't need all of them

or this one?

then once this is done it will offically be the end of the clothes buying!!
then there is shoes, socks, undies and bras

let me know what you think I need the help of my fashion consultants

 

[deslynnpatterson]

so today at work we were really slow!! So i decided to do on the disney website and run some numbers for our short dec trip which will either be dec 5-9 or dec 5-10-- right now i am pricing out the most basic i can get-- being that it will be around Christmas time-- and i don't need anything fancy because i would just have been there in Sept i trying running numbers for dec 5-9, at a value resort, standard room, no waterpark option, a 4 day base ticket, no park hopper, and airfare-- and that would include the quick serve dinning for disney visa cardholders if we book before sept 26th-- and i got a price right around $586.00 per person.. what do you think of this price? I am thinking it sounds pretty good for going so close t0 the holidays and including airfare-- but yet again i have never been there in dec so i am not sure if this is a good price or not-- i am really thinking i would like to stay at POP this is if i can pull this all off Here is a picture of POP

i miss pop i have not stayed here since 2006!!!!


its about time to change it up a little-- i would also be looking forward to try the quick service dinning plan too!! and it would be nice for a short trip to have that because we won't have to spend too much time in the restaurants and can spend more time in the parks!!

well i am off to watch some recorded SVU episodes!! anymore hooked on law and order??

 

[princess_momma]

Wow your Granny is tough!! Hopefully she starts getting back to her normal self real soon! I love all the clothes you have picked! I wish I could go shopping. I'm trying to save as much money as possible. Two things I NEED to buy are Landon's Halloween costume and also one of the bras with clear straps. I HATE strapless bras but enjoy some strapless shirts and don't like not wearing a bra. lol

 

[deslynnpatterson]

i just wanted to let everyone know in case they are looking for something to watch tonite on right now is samanthas browns disney favorites, then disney animal kingdom, i love watching these and its perfect to get me in the mood for my trip more updates later just wante to share this real quick LOL

Landon will look so adorable in a halloween costums and the clear strapes bras are a good idea--- I might look into getting one Strapless ones are a pain I love the cami's or tank tops with bras already built in LOL.

today i called and booked a shuttle It was so funy how i stumbled upon this-- just this past weekend we were talking about how four people huge suitcases and carry ones-- would fit in Josh's dodge stratus, he has a large trunk-- but not all four could fit so one would have to be in the backseat with the other 2 people most likely me and my moms friend ( my mom gets car sick has to sit up front) -- so i work in downtown pittsburgh--- i was walking to catch my bus-- all the sudden i see this blue van with a airplane on the side of it go by-- and it says afforable shuttle service so i see they have a website listed on the van www.supershuttle.com so on my way home on the bus i look this up on my blackberry--- and for our zip code we got a rate of $112 dollars round trip--- not bad-- they would come and pick us up at my parents house- and take us, then pick us up when we land and come get us--- so we decide its a good idea and less hassle because we know our bags will fit in the van! So today i call to book this-- and i get a even better rate $96.00-- roundtrip with a AAA membership so it breaks down to $24 a person or $12 per person per way!!! I am very excited about this LOL!!! so one more thing is crossed off my list LOL and i completely stumbled upon this LOL!!

Next good news-- Josh called me yesterday with good news he got a nice raise and a bonus a $1000 bonus!!!!! so that pretty much covers our spending money for disney!! I am so excited about this--- plus with the money i already saved for disney spending-- i think we can have a very memorable trip ( well it would have been regardless LOL) I think now i am going to start booking my extras I think for sure for Josh i want to book the snorkling experience in the living seas for him!! it will be something he will love and that poor guy has been working soo hard!! plus maybe a few tours I would love to do Illuminations cruise-- but thats a little much!! LOL but i won't completely rule out the idea-- hmm maybe my mom and her friend will pitch in? LOL great now i have more ideas brewing in my head LOL!!!

I am getting sooo excited for my trip!! I have my few more shirts i need to get and a few more things i might try to get over the weekend and i think i might start packing a few things that i won't be wearing till our trip!!

so for all of those football fans out there watching preseason games GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i am off to clean some more and get Josh some dinner ready-- just had to share my good news

Yay for the shuttle and the bonus!! That's awesome!!

Oh and

GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!

 

[racefanof88]

Wow, your trip is coming up so fast. I like the tops you chose, I really like the first two. I am so glad to hear that your granny is better. I have had a few gallbladder attacks and they are not fun. I think we are going to try and go for a long weekend at Christmas, like we did for July 4th. We don't have to buy tickets so I think we will stay off site.

CONGRATS TO JOSH his hard work is paying off, and paying well, what a bonus. Dale got a raise 2 weeks ago and it was a good one too . We are not getting raises this year at the hospital . That is ok though I love my job.

I think the shuttle idea is right on. You don't have to worry about paying for parking at the airport either, so you can add that to the savings and your price for the shuttle drops even more .

i ended up getting the white top out of the first 2 and the gray one with sprarkles lol. thanks for the well wishes for my granny she is doing better for sure-- i ordered her some flowers yesterday so that made her day

I am so glad for taking the shuttle-- seems like it will be so nice to get door to door service Can i ask how are the crowds very beginning of dec 5-9th? and what is the weather like? I think we are really going to take our mother daughter trip just need to find some cheap airfare LOL.

woohoo for hubbys with raises although now Josh is having more Job drama-- it never ends-- i will post about that shortly!!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

Yay for the shuttle and the bonus!! That's awesome!!

Oh and

GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!

i know i was so excited about the bonus!!! and the shuttle will make for a easy trip to the airport-- we live about 45 mins away from the airport --- so we will let them do the driving and go broncos??? WHAT?? LOL!! just kidding Kimmy I wish your team the best of luck also this season

 

[deslynnpatterson]

finally i am making some decisions Last night i went to American Eagle-- and made my final shirt decisions-- here are the two i ended up getting

I am 100% offically done buying shirts and shorts WOOHOO

i just think i have to get Josh a few more things which i will be checking Aeropostale online next

I got some new bras last night and I got Josh socks, a few tanks tops, and socks!! so everything is slowly coming together!

we still need tennis shoes!! which we will try to get later this weekend!!

so for some of the other decisions i have made-- I am booking the Aqua Tour for Josh sometime today I am using my mom's disney visa to get the discount!! so it should only be about $112 dollars compared to the $140 dollars!!
Also we are going to book the seeds tours even though living with the land is closed we can still do the tour-- its only $16 dollars and i am not sure if we get a disney visa disount with this or not

And most likely we are going to see La Noumba I am serioulsy getting beyond excited for this trip!!!

in other news-- this has been another wild week for Joshs Job-- its at the point that its time to get out of this company-- The store he has been running for over 2 years he has grown soo much!! and everything about the store is perfect-- and right now he has a 7 min commute to work-- well yesterday-- they demoted Josh's regional manager back to a General Manager ( thats what Josh is) --- so -- since Josh is a guru at Sales-- they are moving him to a store-- that is 45 mins away-- so he can grow this store-- and sale sale sale!! And the manager that got demoted will now run Josh's store-- we dont know how we feel about this yet--- for one it might be less stress at first-- and he gets to go in there and sale and make a impact on this store-- but at the same time the drive will suck-- and its something brand new that he will have to get used too-- i feel so bad for him!! I just love my husband soo much that when he is stressed or in pain it makes me go wild!! I was at a breaking point yesterday-- and his head manager even told Josh to have be call him so he can tell me himself that this was a good move for Josh -- that is was a compliment! But- i wanted to punch his lights out for doing all this changing around lol but i told Josh it could have been worse-- the manager that got demoted is married for 3 babies, and the guys store that he is taking over-- they fired that guy yesterday-- nothing changed for Josh he keeps the same raise he just got, just a different store and a new start-- but it still sucks but its the business world i guess --- i am just soo greatful that he has a job!! But now more than ever we are looking into moving to the Orlando area-- we have wanted to do this for a long while-- and nows the time-- new start, new beginning, i know my parents would follow us down there shorlty after we moved we already talked about it and I would rent my house out to my brother and his gf instead of putting it up for sale just in case something didnt work out for sure-- so we have all the plans in line just gotta make it happen maybe in a year or so LOL

So i am hoping we are done with the Job drama-- and that Josh can be in peace-- without the crazy stress at the new store-- and he kinda seems in a better mood already Like he feels a huge burden has been lifted! Now i think he will be able to enjoy disney

well i am off to clean, swim, and then to check out a new casino that thats in our area riverscasino!!! maybe i can win some more disney money!!

woohoo for hubbys with raises although now Josh is having more Job drama-- it never ends-- i will post about that shortly!!

I think the white top is cute it will be cooler than the black one too. And the gray shirt with pink shorts will look fantastic. I have always liked pink and gray together.

I am not sure about the crowds during December. We have never been at that time so that is why I want to go. I was surprised with the crowds during the 4th of July, not nearly as crowded as we had expected.

for raises

we still need tennis shoes!! which we will try to get later this weekend!!

You probably need to wear them as much as possible to get them broke in. I made the mistake of buying a new pair of tennis shoes before one of our trips . My feet looked like hamburger.

Poor Josh, just when things start looking up. Hopefully he can get the new store as up on sales as the one he is leaving. I am sending him some pixie dust. I know what you mean about getting upset when Josh is not treated right. I told Dale he needs to stop bringing his job home and letting it affect his health. It makes me fighting mad.
One day I will live in Orlando. I have wanted to for years now and I know the right time will present itself.

I am sure he will enjoy Disney because with all that have been going on, both of you REALLY need a break .

I love the shirts you got. And I'm super jealous about the tours! Sounds so fun!

I also want to move to Orlando. The main factor is that I couldn't afford childcare while I work. (My mom does it now.) Its so expensive. So hopefully I can save and get there soon. I'm ready to go.

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Hey hun, I'm back!! Ok so first I'm so glad your granny's ok. Good wishes for a quick recovery. Second, love the shirts, very cute!! I'm so sorry about Josh having to move stores but hey he should take it as a great compliment! And he got a bonus and a raise, very nice!! I laughed when you mentioned moving to Orlando because my dbf just sent me an email with an apartment to rent in that area in Florida!! He wants to move down there so badly now! I'm hoping soon as well! Can't wait for more!!

 

[racefanof88]

How did Josh's first day go? I hope it went well. I know he will do great at the new store and it will be as profitable as his last store .

How are the plans at this point? I can't believe it is almost September.
