A Wigdout trip report, DISmeets, Flashing Jelly Rings and Manpris, Oh MY!

My Aunt had to pay for her own braces and she is an extremely sucessful businesswoman now. I really think the fact that she worked so hard as a teen made her what she is today. If that makes sense.

I think bejeweled braces would be FAB! Not tacky at all. ;)

That does make sense -- my mother paid for her own braces as well, but my parents did pay for mine. If we couldn't do it, it would be one thing -- if I am not doing it because I want to spend the money on a luxury trip, then that is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. You know? ;)

I am thinking some nice pink rhinestones would be just the thing. :lmao:
 
I totally understand where you are coming from. It's one thing to sacrafice a trip but another to sacrafice groceries. :laughing:

Oh yes, pink and I think some white sparkly bling would be wonderful too!

Did you mean one of these?

Wigd and Shocker (assuming Shocker helped with the burning of the CDs -- if not then just Wigd ;)), you are my favorite people today! I came home from Chelsea's orthodontist appointment with the grim knowledge that her braces are going to cost us a grand total of $4625 (yes, the figure is seared into my brain, but I did refrain from turning to her in the consulting room and saying what was foremost in my mind, "We could stay a week at the Grand Floridian for that!" :laughing:), to find a very exciting package in my mailbox! I can't wait to pull up all of our Photopass pictures. Thank you again for being in charge of all of that!

Shocker is the one to thank, him and LL, I was just the go between....:rotfl:

This braces thing has me worried, what does this mean exactly?
Ooooh!! I am so excited. That means mine should be here soon too!! :banana:
It was!:woohoo:
:scared1: to the cost of braces. Don't they have some do it yourself braces guide on the internet? ;)

Shocker, what have you done with Wigd??? She hasn't been on all day!

Did she join the sea vamps? Gasp!
I actually got up this morning and went to clean Baylor's play room. Needless to say, it's cleaned and I won't be allowing him to play in there ever again! :headache:
If she is wearing her Minnie Mouse shower cap, then they are all matching. :lmao:

I really want a Minnie shower cap!

Do they do colors on braces now? I seem to remember the girls changing colors when they had theirs adjusted....

Well, it means no DVC for now -- I can't justify saddling us with two new payments. As far as summer goes, there is something brewing that may be a little shocking to you and everyone else that knows me (we may be going somewhere other than Disney next summer). That really hurt to type it. I don't know if I can go somewhere else. :eek:

I say that everytime we clean the playroom. :lmao:

I think so. I was so fixated at looking at the sheet with the price and payment options, that I wasn't paying attention to the colors on the braces. :laughing:

Oh noooo say it isn't so!

It's so much more attractive to him now, but he asked anyway if he could go in and play air hockey with a friend and I said NO!

Well I'm sorry about the braces putting the brakes on the DVC plans. Those points will always be there waiting. I still think you need to get the emails from the Timeshare Store and see what things are selling for when you decide to take the plunge.

Side note... My birthday gift (iphone) arrived yesterday. I have been quite preoccupied leaning how to answer the phone....:rotfl:

I know. It makes me sad. I was just thinking, "I wonder if it is too late to tell Charles I want to take a cruise instead..."

Oh, I should do that -- by the time I am ready for DVC, all the cool incentives will be gone for AKL -- so I will want to do a resale. That is the balm to all of this -- I know that DVC will still be there after braces.

Is Baylor helping you? When my BIL got an iphone for his b-day in May, my nephew showed him how to work it. :lmao:

As we ran errands yesterday I read to Marc and Baylor from the 2008 Birnbaums DCL book. We were trying to decide what excursions we would like to try...
Baylor wanted to know if you guys were coming too....

I think they had 150 AKL points offered today for $88 per point. Those deals will always be there.

Baylor has offered his help, but he has no clue, he just wants to play...:lmao:

I need to revisit my Cruise Numbers Sheet...the things that Charles and Chelsea want to do, I think they could still do on the cruise. Connor said he would be happy as long as there was a pool and a beach.

Not only a pool and a beach but a built in friend as well!:goodvibes

Yes, Connor would be thrilled -- for that matter, we would all be thrilled! :goodvibes

I shall have to see what Charles says when I mention that I want to change my mind again. I think he is pretty excited about the prospective new trip destination though so it might not be easy.

Although he might not go for the cruise, I doubt very seriously that he will be surprised when you tell him you want to change your mind again.:rotfl2:
 
OH MY! I just got back from our wedding and honeymoon adn you are up to 60 pages?! I am only on page 30 and Tim is FINALLY stopping playing his xbox and watching some of my shows with me... so I just wanted to post that I am back (and wrote on my report about the pre wedding stress) and the big post on page 30 that should have lots of pics.. it is showing red x's... maybe it is my computer. I am going to try again tomorrow. Hopefully it works. (and hopefully there aren't another 15 pages added on by tomorrow morning for me to read!)
 
I'm here. WHEW, at 60 pages it will take me a WHILE to get up to speed but I'm up for the challenge (I think) :surfweb:
