All My Bags Are(n't) Packed(But I'm Ready to Go)~My 1st PTR (11/2014) - TR Link (p.8)

Week 15 Planning Update:​

MOVIE NIGHT: Alice in Wonderland
CHARACTER: Minnie Mouse
Our character activities:
• SW: Changed her computer background, wore a polka dot sweater
• Me: Wore my polka dot dress (it’s black, not red, but I still say it counts – plus, I wore it with a yellow sweater to represent Minnie’s shoes and red jewelry)

This is my last scheduled planning update, so unless something major happens, you won’t be hearing from me again until I get back (feel free to still comment and stop by to say hi – I’ll probably still be checking for comments). Here’s what I have for you:

*I finished my keychain inventory! Here’s an example of one “page” of it:

Since the picture isn’t really interactive – when you click on one of the pictures on the bottom, it puts the picture and description on top. It’s basic and no-frills, but it’ll work.

*I did my Target run on Thursday … I got a lot of dried fruit (banana chips, dried apple, and freeze dried berries), which was one of my goals. I also got some type of granola bar for myself, and fruit roll-ups for my sister (she’ll also eat the dried fruit). I also bought to-go PB and Nutella (usually we just get chocolate PB, but I wanted plain, so we got the Nutella for our chocolate nut spread). We also went out again on Sunday just to pick up nuts (something I forgot to pick up at Target)

*My sister was here for the weekend, so we did a lot of stuff, including:
Mousekeeping Tip Envelopes:

Yes, those are folded maps. We’ll put a sticker on each one in the morning (to seal it) that says “Thank you, Mousekeeping.”

We also did our homemade luggage tags (for the backpack we’re bringing to the park), one for each park:

These I’ve been making over the past few weeks, and I just printed them on stickers, stuck them on heavy paper, and my sister wrote our name & phone number on the back.

*Someone did some packing:

That’s the suitcase mostly packed … I have this incredible fear that I’m forgetting something. I went through my packing list and I have everything, but I still have a fear that I’m forgetting something.

*There really isn’t much left to do … and it feels weird. Anyone else have that problem when they get close to trip time?

* The insomnia ... still acting up. I have to be up early today anyway, so I'm fine being out of bed at 5:30, but ... other than a short nap between 4:45 and 5:15, I've been up since 2. I always say that I hate sleeping in an unfamiliar bed ... but I hope the unfamiliar beds at Disney stop this stupid insomnia thing.

And ... that's it. See y'all when I get back!
 
I apologize for any typos - I'm doing this on my phone because it's closer than my computer.

Have a great trip!!! I can't wait to read the TR :banana: pixiedust:

Thanks! My plan is to take copious notes, so hopefully I'll have lots of good stuff for the TR.

Your mousekeeping envelopes are awesome! How do you do them?

We folded old maps - it took a lot of experimentation. I looked for instructions on how to make an envelope online, started with that, and modified it as we went along. I wish I could give you better instructions,but the best I can say is experiment.

Insomnia update: I've been up since about 5:30 (was planning to get up at 6:45). Not as bad as yesterday, but I would have preferred a bit more sleep.
 

Hello readers!

I'm on DME now, headed back to the airport. There were ups and downs, but overall it was a great vacation!

I'll need a few days to get all the pictures together from three sources (camera and two cell phones), but I'll post a link here once I start the TR.

Okay, time for me to nap the rest of the way to the airport ... It's early!
 
I'm so sorry I didn't get over to wish you a great trip. I can't wait to hear all about it when you are home and settled.
 
I'm so behind! But I've read through everything now, loved the outfit plans especially - glad it was great and can't wait to read about it!
 
Hey all! I started the TR today - here's the link: No Capes! A Nov. 2014 TR

So far it's just an introduction, but I hope to post the beginnings of the trip over the next few days ... it'll take a while to sort through my 750 pictures to find the ones I want to post.

Feel free to pop over there and say hello!
