[Leger13]

Thank you! I'll take it! I hope I'm okay for the trip too - that is why I let her put the thing on me in the first place! I get it off at the end of the month and then hopefully will have some physical therapy to get me Disney ready! (Is there a fingers crossed smilie? )


I sure hope Cheri is feeling better!!!

I'm crossing my fingers for you!! And I agree there should be a fingers crossed smiley! I have thought of so many smilies already that they need to add

Hola!

 

[dismom9761]

Hola!

HI!!!

 

[randy4au]

Cheri, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I hope you're feeling better in 3 DAYS when you go to WDW!

 

[cherbear]

Awww, thankyee and you're very welcome! Oh no, it's in the blood - DIS'er for life

Brava! Another masterpiece - keep 'em coming!

Yay for cool dads! And I'm sure he turned all stealthy when he got inside

*queues 'mission impossible' theme music*

See, told ya - we dads are on top of stuff like this

aw thanks...sorry I dropped out on the songs when I got sick! I guess I could do a few for the last days right?

Hey Cheri!!

Just checking in to see what is new??

Where you at??

well now ya know where I was...sorry I didn't come tell y'all sooner!

Hey Cheri -- love your song!!

But you know your socks won't get wet if you'd wear your crocs!!!

I don't have crocs I didn't like the "bumpies" on the sole. I'll stick with what I know...my flip flops and tennis shoes.

wow lots of developments and stories, I am all caught up, i have still not attempted legers report or disneydads they are way ahead of me.

Going back to the free dining for next year, we did have a info sheet on it the morning we checked out, did not do anything about it. I really did not think that that was the only way people could get the free dinning next year. I guess I will roll the dice and see if they offer it again next year online. If not then might have to pay for some meals. Oh well we will see.

Time to try and catch up on others.

caught up! yay!!! Want some bacon?

Hugs to You!!!!

Get plenty of rest and take it easy......

Thank you!

awwww no appologies needed girl. You get as much rest as you can so you can be feeling better for WDW. Take lots of meds. Gotta kick those nasty germies to the curb!!

I'll continue your countdown for you

4 MORE DAYS UNTIL CHERI GETS TO WDW AND SAYS TO MIKE...."WE MUST HEAD OVER TO DTD RIGHT AWAY SO WE CAN MEET THE COOLEST CHICK EVER!!" (j/k Cheri)



​

that was just too funny...love it so much! Thank you!

 

[cherbear]

We are a bunch of SICKIE POO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of pixie dust for you........

thank you!

Are you feeling okay?

I did it! I did it! I read the whole dern thing before you left! My bum is sore and I have a tic in my eyelid from all the reading - but it was worth it! Besides - I have a cast on my right foot and am stuck at home because I can't drive - so it gave me something to do!

I have to say that when Mustard gave the cliff notes version in the middle I was thinking THAT would've been nice to know about before I read all the way up to that point! And then when Sharky went off on her picture ABC's - I was loving flying through those pages!! Thanks Sharky!

Also... no one ever guessed that your birthday is June 14! Flag Day! That is my lil' brother's birthday too... but he's much older than you... like 10 year's older. Anyway... another little coinkydink is that my sister's name is Cheri - yes, spelled the same - so I understand the whole never finding your name printed correctly anywhere. AND GUESS WHAT HER HUSBAND'S NAME IS??? Go on... guess! I'll wait....




Yep - it's Mike! weird huh?


Anyway... I'm all caught up! And so sad to hear you that you don't feel good! Rest up, lots of fluids, vitamin C IV's! - whatever you need to do!!! We'll all be standing by...

at your bum being sore and having an eye tic..

I never realized no one guessed...guess I just forgot about it! But that's cool about your sister! Does she also pronounce it like me?...like cooking "sherry" (I never did specify here but now I must go into a tangent: I figured since my nickname is Cher-bear you would pronounce that -Cher(like the singer)-Bear...so people would figure out that my name is "cher-ee" w/ emphasis on the Cher, and not "Shuh-Ree" with emphasis on the Ree. Please tell me that made sense )

So back to your sister...it's really cool that her husband's name is Mike too!
If I ever have any engraved items I want to get rid of I know who to send them too...

 

[cherbear]

Getting closer....and closer~

yeah! Can't believe it!

only 3 bananas left!

Awesome countdown Leger!!

Reminded me of DDad's minuse the countdown calendar picture

yeah same here

Hi girls! Thanks for the kudos on the catching up! It was a fun ride!

My foot.... I didn't break it, thankfully, but I almost wish it was that so it could heal and I'd be done with it! But it is in a cast because I've had chronic tendonitis in my ankle for a year and this is the last thing the orthopedic doc said we could try to get it to heal. I've had it on for 3 and half weeks - will have it for 6 total. I told her at my last appt. that I was going to Disney in 3 months and she needed to fix me by then! So, I'm grounded.
Wow, guess I hijacked... sorry... but thanks for asking Sharky!

I was going to ask but Sharky beat me to it.
No such thing as hijacking here....you can speak freely (but just don't say anything that will get you points...or the "m" word...I'm not going to say what it is but it's a word that tends to offend short people like me)
Anywho..I hope that you heal up real quick! It's amazing how many people I associate with on the DISboards have been either sick (incl. myself), their kids sick, having surgery, etc...and so close to their trips!

Thank you! I'll take it! I hope I'm okay for the trip too - that is why I let her put the thing on me in the first place! I get it off at the end of the month and then hopefully will have some physical therapy to get me Disney ready! (Is there a fingers crossed smilie? )

I sure hope Cheri is feeling better!!!

I would've gotten the cast, too. I think your time will go faster than you think.

thank you...I am! not 100% but SO much better than before. I even managed to do finish laundry today at lunch!

Hey Cheri....Sorry you have been Sick....

I hope you are felling Better!!!!!

I need to catch up on the Song countdown....

See ya later!!!

I need to catch up too....LOL (actually I'm not writing 4 songs...or however many I missed...but I will write one for the last few days!)

HI!! I have sworn off lurking so I thought i would come out and say I have been enjoying your report. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

aw thanks for posting! Thank you for the well wishes. I am feeling lots better. Just hoping for 100% by Friday!

 

[cherbear]

Aww...that sounds so painful..Hope the doc gets it feeling better soon

Feel free to hijack whenever you want....we are all easy going DIsers here

You are very welcome

You go girl!!!

yup!!!!

Cheri!!!!! ​

awww thanks!!!!!!!

I am! Y'all are the best!

Yes I have seen you alot too.. I will look for yours and I have a link in my siggie to mine if your interested(would that be called a shameless plug?)..this is becoming a sickness Is yours a pretrip or trip report?It will be easier to find if I know.

I am here for the trip report! Thanks for the welcome!

Trentmom's is a PTR but about 476986749 days early.

I will be honest, I probably won't be able to get over to yours yet...not til I get back. I am so far behind on everything including my own! And I still have to finish preparing for my trip! (I'll tell ALL about it in my next update)

Cheri, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I hope you're feeling better in 3 DAYS when you go to WDW!

awwwwww thanks! Honestly I am glad I still have a few days...normally I'd be ready to go now, but I need these few days to get completely better! Thanks for your well wishes!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

No thanks, there is enough bacon on this thread already.

 

[randy4au]

Hey, I just re-read my previous post, and it sounds as if I don't want you to get to feeling better until you leave for your trip in 3 days (which obviously is not what I meant). LOL!!!

So, get to feeling better ASAP (hopefully BEFORE you go to WDW)!

Oh I didn't read it that way...you really didn't have to explain yourself. I know what you mean. But thank you again!!!

hehe

 

[cherbear]

Look at my ticker!!! Is it real? 3 more days?! Thanks to everyone who stuck around and kept my report going, and especially for your encouragement while I was away being sickie! Like I said, I’m not 100% better, but I’m getting there! 2 days ago, Mike said “If you’re not better by Thursday, we’re not going” And I thought “you are evil!” but of course I didn’t personally want to go to Disney sick, but I wouldn't have even said a thing like that! Of course he had to say it….The nerve of him! So I’ve been fighting this ickyness and taking meds of course. I don’t know if I had mentioned it was my stomach that put me in the hospital several months ago. I have medicine to take when it bothers me, but I ran out so I had to get it refilled yesterday morning and picked it up on my way to work (and by the way, I was 2 hours late…I just needed the extra time) Luckily between Mon and Tues I only had to use 8 sick hours though!

So let’s stop talking about all this sick stuff, and talk about some good, fun, happy, trip stuff!!!! Over the weekend, I did a lot of shopping, some of which I was able to post pics of b4 I got all sick. I will post the rest sometime before I leave.
I also ended up “saving” the shorts that Mike “ruined” so he better bow down and kiss my feet!! LOL
I bought a couple more shorts and some capris for myself at Target, and some makeup (it was on sale!! Yippee!) for my face—which has gotten 3 shades darker in the makeup I wear. I had a little bit left on a gift card from the wedding last Nov, so I only spent $13 of my own money! Pretty exciting for me! I washed all the new shorts and took them out of the dryer at lunch today! Go me...being productive!

After being out a couple of days it’s hard to find my groove! I don’t know what to say…
Umm….I still have to finish packing! Shame on me…but I was going to do the finishing touches (with the exception of the toiletries) and then I started feeling so bad I wasn’t up to it.
I missed 2 days at the tanning bed but I went back yesterday, and will go today and tomorrow. I don’t plan on going Friday.
Oh yeah…I cut my LGMHs and I started to glue some back to back…I still don’t know how I’m going to “decorate” them…probably something VERY simple. I also made “mousekeeping envelopes” against Mike’s and my Dad’s advice. When I told them I wanted to give Mousekeeping the typical “$1 a day per person” (which I don’t think is very much but I’ve heard it’s the norm) they thought I was nuts. Dad says they are SUPPOSED to clean your room…it’s their JOB. I said “but I want cool towel animals!” And Mike seems to care not. But maybe he will change his tune once we are in the magical place!
Okay one last thing….being sick, I lost over 3 pounds! Haha (not really the best way to do that, but I have to look at the bright side somehow)
I am sure I’ll think of more things to say later. Only 2 more working days! (And Friday I am going to be going NUTS!!)

It's good to be back!

NEXT: My story of why I didn't get ANYTHING done last night

You poor thing...oh the horror....Being told you can't go to Disney...& then that you are nuts for leaving Houskeeping a Tip!!!

I should think after all the effort you have put into this trip Everyone...would be bowing down to your feet...& cleaning them No less...

Welll hey you have some good News...you lost 3 lbs...worked for me too... I lost 7 lbs...while I was Sick...& gained it all back last week!!!

oh well that is the Way the Ball bounces!!!
\\

 

[Trentmom]

Welcome Back Cheri..Glad you are starting to feel better..

Tipping mousekeeping is great idea....silly dad....and mike...

They are like waiters and waitresses.....they don't get paid a lot and they have families, too and depend on those tips...You go girl

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

at your bum being sore and having an eye tic..

I know! It's better now! Thank goodness!

But that's cool about your sister! Does she also pronounce it like me?...like cooking "sherry" (I never did specify here but now I must go into a tangent: I figured since my nickname is Cher-bear you would pronounce that -Cher(like the singer)-Bear...so people would figure out that my name is "cher-ee" w/ emphasis on the Cher, and not "Shuh-Ree" with emphasis on the Ree. Please tell me that made sense )

Yes, that made perfect sense and yes, she pronounces it the same as you.

So back to your sister...it's really cool that her husband's name is Mike too!
If I ever have any engraved items I want to get rid of I know who to send them too...

Funny right there!!!

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Sooo glad you are feeling a bit better!
We missed you!

Sounds to me like you got quite a bit done!

I tipped mousekeeping when we stayed at POR in January, but still never got more towel animals than were there when we arrived. I don't know if you have to take them apart for them to make new ones or what. I guess sometimes they just don't have time to make them, whether you tip them or not.

for 3 pounds...even though you don't look to me like you need to lose it. I've lost 20 since my initial bout with sickness in May, but I can't tell that I've lost it. I'll probably gain it all back over the next week though. Hopefully all the walking will be helpful in keeping that from happening!
