Ace, Me, & the Guy with CP *An update on Bill Pg. 70*

[apirateslife4evr]

Donna Lynn, our angel Donna Lynn I want to personally thank you for sending us the pins and lanyards. Now I don’t have to decide whether I want to start pin trading or not, you made the decision for me . I can blame Donna Lynn when I go crazy buying and trading pins . When I go on the next trip, I will look at everybody’s lanyards and start trading!!

back at ya!! I am so happy that my little bit of pixie dust was such a HIT !!! Lemme tell ya......it's a quickly addictive and expensive hobby.....so, just PACE yourself. There are PLENTY more of pins, where those came from......and they're not doing me any good just sittin' around.

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ACE.......what a cutie in his party hat !!! I have a special "PLUTO" pin for him, that I'm gonna send you......but NOT until after you get home.......I don't want you trading it or anything......

I'm off to a late start with your reports. Feel free to smack me upside the head for not having read it yet!! I'm up to page 7 now but the grandbabies just arrived so it's playtime! I'll be back!

I am really enjoying your sweet love story and I can't wait to read more

Hi Tracy! Are you guys getting excited yet??? I can't believe your trip is almost here! WoooHooo! It was great to read Bill's side of the story. I hope he puts his 2 cents in more often! I'm having a heck of a time getting my gang to write something for our TR. Oh well.

Good luck with all the packing! I'll check in again in a few days to wish you farewell!!!

Take care,
Michelle

Hey Yoda/Bill,

Thanks for your post. It's nice to have 2 perspectives on the same event. It make things more well rounded.

I may steal that idea and have my cousin report on the same events on our trip in Feb.

 

[Avivasmom]

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACE......I love his gift and his hat what cutie.

Bill thanks for sharing your side of the story..,.like your writing style. I certainly can understand the school work...I have a huge project due Nov. 3rd. I am in grad school for a masters in Exceptional Student Education (Special Ed).

Keep it coming.

 

[LeeLee2U]

Hi Bill and Tracy!! Just stopping by to say, "7 Days!!!!

I thought of Ace the other day! We sot a book from the library the other day named, "Ivan the Terrier". The dog reminded me of Ace! It's a very funny book w/ a crazy little dog!!!

Keep us posted on Braeton! How scarey! You guys are in my thoughts! I hope this finds you at home, and not at the hospital.

Happy Birthday Ace! Loved the Mickey hat. My furbaby Sadie (a golden retriever) will be 1 on Halloween.

I know what you mean. It's so hard to leave them. This year daddy's staying at home while mommy goes and plays with the soaps stars so it won't be too hard on her. Although she is mommies girl!

I know you're both getting excited. I sure am. I think I'm arriving about 6 days behind you. I also see I'll be missing you by just a few hours at the MK on Monday. We're having lunch at the CP at 12:30 and our flight leaves on the 13th about 30 minutes after yours so we may very well be sharing the same ME Bus from the Pop. (Honest, I'm not a stalker!)

You mentioned in an earlier post about taking glow bracelets to pass out. I was planning the same thing. I picked up a couple of packages in the dollar bin at Target. My niece had bought the same ones for her kids and she called last night to say that her 7 year old had put one in her mouth and it either broke or she bit it (she probably bit it!). Anyway after a frantic call to poison control the only harm done was that Erin's lips glowed in the dark for a few hours. I've decided to leave the glow sticks at home - I don't want to ruin someone's vacation even though the intentions were good.

I think I'm getting caught up - thanks to you and your many talents - I've been busy making "mousekeeping envelopes" and my dh is laughing at my perfectly organized, color coded schedule and planner I have made.

I can't wait to get to Disney so I can relax a little!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Hi Tracy and Bill! Just checking in to see how you are doing. I hope you are not stressing too much.
Just think, this time next week you will be in DISNEY!!!

Thanks for this info! I did think about this! I won't tell my DS this though. He's love to have a glowing mouth!!! I do know that if you resnap them they can break open. We'll really have to watch the kids w/ these!

 

[mrsksomeday]

Wow Monica - all you have to do is ask for Bill's post and it appears!

Great start Bill! Tracy sounds just like me with her lists and such. I would have been very irritated also if I'd left paperwork in the hotel room. I can feel your pain Tracy! It is hard to relax, even on vacation.

Yeah Monica, I should be jealous, I ask him and it's "I have a paper to do", you ask and BAM an installment appears .

Thanks Michelle, I knew I wasn't the only one that was OCD'ish about lists . It really did freak me out about losing the paperwork. I really thought it might mess us up some how. Thank goodness Bill can keep me in check!

Ace!!


Love,

Aimee

Thank you so much Amiee

Hugs,
Ace

Great to hear from you Bill. Great start to the side story.

Hi Kimmy, I am going to reply for Bill, seeing as it is FOOTBALL DAY!! He loves to read the replies to his installments. See, he thought I was nuts to suggest that he post his side of things. Now that he sees how fun it is, I think I have him hooked .

Ying and Yang!

Bill, it sounds like you are just the sort of soothing balm a worry-wart like Tracy needs in her life!!

You were made for each other!!

Glad you're able to take a breather from school and post a bit.... are you having fun plotting the rapid growth of your new pin collection?!?


Kathy

Bill was sent from Heaven just for me . Kathy, he is plotting his pin strategy . I think Donna Lynn created a monster.

If I'm not back on the Dis by the time you leave, have a blast and remember every detail and take lots of pics cuz I want a good TR to read!

I know you are gone on your trip, I just wanted to say again, thanks for reading. I plan on taking way too many pictures.

Happy Birthday to Ace!!

I can't believe how quick the last 30 days or so have went! Last time we "chatted" I think you were at the 30 day mark now you are single digit dancing!!

I hope you both have a wonderful time!!

Will start posting my Christmas "girl" pre-trip report soon!

Thank you everyone for the Acey birthday wishes!! I can't believe we are 6 days away!! I would love to read your Christmas "girl" pre-trippie!!

 

[mrsksomeday]

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ACE.......what a cutie in his party hat !!! I have a special "PLUTO" pin for him, that I'm gonna send you......but NOT until after you get home.......I don't want you trading it or anything......

I have a confession to make about that "party hat", when I said "Do I look like I have time on my hands or what??" I meant that because not many people spend time on paint shop pro putting party hats on their dog's heads. Ace can't stand anything on his head, he doesn't like doggie sweaters either, it drives him insane.

Donna, you don't have to send anymore pins, you have done way too much for us already and we can't thank you enough .

I'm off to a late start with your reports. Feel free to smack me upside the head for not having read it yet!! I'm up to page 7 now but the grandbabies just arrived so it's playtime! I'll be back!

Happy Birthday Ace! *woof woof*

Nice to 'meet' you Bill!

*happy single digit dance* (I can't add smilies in an edit... use your imagination!)

Hello Marion!! Thank you so much for reading our PTR. Thanks for the birthday wishes, Bill says hi in between watching football pregame shows .

Hi Tracy! Are you guys getting excited yet??? I can't believe your trip is almost here! WoooHooo! It was great to read Bill's side of the story. I hope he puts his 2 cents in more often! I'm having a heck of a time getting my gang to write something for our TR. Oh well.

Take care,
Michelle

Hi Michelle, yes we are both getting excited!! Bill said he would try to post more, these grad classes take up a lot of time. He said he will help me when we are down at Disney to remind me to write things down for our trip report, this from a man that thought I was silly for starting a pre-trippie . Thanks for the good luck on packing, Bill told me he will make the final wardrobe choices on Tuesday .

Hey Yoda/Bill,

Thanks for your post. It's nice to have 2 perspectives on the same event. It make things more well rounded.

I may steal that idea and have my cousin report on the same events on our trip in Feb.

Bill says "Hey Jordan", (you will have to excuse him, it is my fault for replying to people while NFL football is on, he has to watch the Manning men!!) I like having both our sides. I am going to print them all out for a scrapbook.

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACE......I love his gift and his hat what cutie.

Bill thanks for sharing your side of the story..,.like your writing style. I certainly can understand the school work...I have a huge project due Nov. 3rd. I am in grad school for a masters in Exceptional Student Education (Special Ed).

Keep it coming.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, as I said earlier, the hat was done with PSP and Ace has given DISer a head wound, I might post a pic of it later. DISer will be going into surgery soon . You made Bill smile with your compliment. We both wish you luck with your project. God bless you for going to school for Special Ed .

I'm FINALLY all caught up!!!!
So glad to "hear"from you Bill! Wonderfull job on your part of this TR.

Thanks again and I can't wait to read more!!!!1

LeeLee, Braeton's comment made us both smile. That was one of the reasons I wanted to do a pre trippie. Many people think Bill can't do much because of his disability. They are so WRONG. He is outgoing and wonderful. I can't say that enough. I posted on your TR, but I wanted to say here too that Bill and I are praying for Braeton, I hope he didn't have to go back into the hospital. Bill said he never had summer vacations he was always in the hospital for surgeries. He has had 15. You can talk about what ever you want on here LeeLee, Braeton is special to us too .

Hi Bill and Tracy!! Just stopping by to say, "7 Days!!!!

I thought of Ace the other day! We sot a book from the library the other day named, "Ivan the Terrier". The dog reminded me of Ace! It's a very funny book w/ a crazy little dog!!!

Hi Monica!! Ace is crazy, when he is not sleeping which is 85% of the time.

Happy Birthday Ace! Loved the Mickey hat. My furbaby Sadie (a golden retriever) will be 1 on Halloween.

Happy early birthday Sadie!! The closer we get to the trip, the more I tell myself it will be over quickly and we will be back with Ace. You can stalk us, it is ok, LOL.

Are you going to have any LGMH's to identify yourself?? We are on Bill's chair and on my camera. I am going to make a little lanyard for the Pal Mickey we are getting to put a LGMH on him (omg the DIS has brainwashed me!!!).

I think I'm getting caught up - thanks to you and your many talents - I've been busy making "mousekeeping envelopes" and my dh is laughing at my perfectly organized, color coded schedule and planner I have made.

I can't wait to get to Disney so I can relax a little!

I had so much fun making those envelopes, thanks for reminding me I need to do one more. DH can laugh about your planner, but planning at Disney really does help things go more smoothly. You just have to know when to throw the plan out and go with the flow.

Hi Tracy and Bill! Just checking in to see how you are doing. I hope you are not stressing too much.
Just think, this time next week you will be in DISNEY!!!

Hi again Michelle!! Yes, I am stressing but that is an every day occurrence. Bill has been saying today. "You know this time next week, we will be at Epcot". That makes me smile, then panic.

Thanks everyone!! In honor of Ace's birthday, I will be posting some pictures of the birthday boy. After all the report is ACE, me and the guy with CP.

 

[Poohtigeey]

Tell Bill that I want a full pin report!!! Will you be baking Ace a treat for his bday?

6 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrsksomeday]

Tell Bill that I want a full pin report!!! Will you be baking Ace a treat for his bday?

6 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill says you will get a full report, with pictures . Ace is getting the things he loves today - cottage cheese and steak. I know, I know but this dog loves cottage cheese.

STEAK?!!! Can I be your dog?

 

[mrsksomeday]

STEAK?!!! Can I be your dog?

Yes you can , I made it for us and he just gets some of it. I am going to be posting some pics of Acey later today in celebration of his birthday. (wow, that sounds pathetic doesn't it?)

 

[mrsksomeday]

In honor of Ace's 3rd birthday, I thought I would show off some pics of our fur baby.

Edited to add, here are some pictures of baby Ace (these are all we have because we had a hard drive go bad ) Photobucket is finally cooperating with me:

He can fall asleep using anything for a pillow:

The one and only time he used his pet bed at home:

Apparently he got sick of hearing my son Josh talk:

When Bill lays down Ace wants to be right next to him:

Josh has Ace trapped, see him looking at me for help. What did I do, I got the camera of course:

These pictures crack Bill up:

Ace loves to cross his front paws when he lays down:

Ace likes to sleep under the bed (please excuse all the dog hair on the carpet):

Reading the Christmas card Bill's mom and dad's dog Henry sent him:

Ace meeting new friends last Christmas (can you tell how much he likes the elf? NOT!! He was scared to death of it and the snowman until I introduced them to him)

Here is when I was bored and decided to play around with my Paint Shop Pro. Ace won't let me put any hats on him, so I did it digitally. You already saw his birthday hat, so here are the others:

And last but not least, he needed Mickey ears:

 

[jordanyosh]

I want your dog. or a dog just like him.

 

[Ricky's Girl]

Awwwwwwwwwe! How cute! Thanks for sharing the photos of Ace. You are very talented with the photoshop. I'm always trying to get a photo of Sadie with a Santa or Mickey hat on - now I know the secret!

As for wearing LGMH's in the parks - I'll be wearing a pink Big Dog backpack (can you believe they were not offered in Lime????) and I have a LGMH in a luggage tag hanging from the back of it. It also has a little mesh pocket and I slipped another LGMH in there.

I'll keep an eye out for you and Bill. Hopefully I won't have a "shy" attack. Once you get to know me I don't shut up but it's hard for me to make that initial move - although it's not too hard when I'm at Disney "my happy place!"

As soon as I learn how to upload? download? photos I'll post one of my Sadie.
