Isn't it nice having that AP? Now if they'd just run more airfare sales I'd be set!

Speaking of APs, when Linda mentioned how cheap the APs were over at Universal, it started a loooooong conversation with the hubs. He said that we should check out Universal but for now, Miss M just loves everything Disney and it might not be that way forever ... so the Disney AP just seems like a better idea at the moment.

Now if we can just avoid sequestration. I don't feel we can go ahead with the purchase while this is looming overhead. Now I'm just holding my breath between the upcoming Disney ticket price hike and the rest of this mess.

I'll start with these

I bookmarked your blog and will have to go back to read it later. I went Gluten free for about a month some time back to see if that was what was causing my stomach issues. I think your blog will be very usefull for Many

I know gluten free seems to really help some people with various stomach issues. I'll be adding more GF recipes soon

It's tropicaltraditions.com. You can get a gallon for only $44 since there's no shipping right now. I am considering going that route since it is most cost effective. I read from others that bought it that you can just melt it and divide it amongst mason jars to make it easier to use. If storage space isn't an issue the gallon is definitely cheapest.

I used some oil and chia seeds in our smoothies this morning. I am FULL! It's been over 2 hours and I am still very satisfied from breakfast so I will be skipping my snack. I usually have a hard boiled egg or a handful of almonds but I think I'm going to take a nap instead!

Thank you, I still need to check it out! Oh I love my chia seeds too!!!! I throw them in yogurt!

Good morning, ladies.

Melissa: Checked out your blog last night! Loving all the pics... especially the one of DS looking out the window. It's shaping up quite nicely. Many moons ago I used to write about random what-nots when we were overseas but then found myself at a loss for something to write about.

~~----------------------~~

Off to the store!

Thank you I am not a strong writer but tis is something I wanted to do I think mostly as a form of therapy for myself. I am sure you would have plenty to write about now!

Melissa, glanced at your blog late last night... looks aweome I too, love the pix of Stephen

Thank you!!!! I hope you had a great weekend!!!

I leave for the DL Diva trip Wednesday morning .... 5 days with 60 crazy Disney loving ladies!!!

I can't wait to hear all about it!!!! Sounds like so much fun!

Erica ~ DD8 seems to be doing just fine, maybe was just tired or something. DD6 is home sick w/daddy today...she has had a fever since Saturday the poor little thing! She has been sleeping most of the day today though so hopefully that helps.

I hope she feels better soon!

Thanks so much everyone. I am so grateful for having you all in my life.

sis I am so happy for you!!!

I am happy you are in my life too

I love F&G and now that they've added the food booths .... perfect!

Oh now I need to go check it out

Dani - Happy Birthday!!!!

pas - Fabulous news! I was the same way when I started reading up on this year's F&G. Had.to.go! Too bad it now ultimately means I have to shorten the August trip, but whatevs.

Grumpy Grandma - Diva trip! Save some spiked dole whips for the rest of us heading down in the spring!

Miss - I actually tqalked with DH about doing Universal APs when our Disney AP expire but we came to the same conclusion. I think we will save Universal for when the boys are over Disney. I hope it's not soon, but you never know.

babyberger - Heading to check out y our blog right after I get done here.

----------

So as I mentioned to pas, I had to scale down the August trip. We just can't afford 10 nights then on top of the April trip. Plus I know I will still want to try to sneak in a quickie in Dec/Jan before the AP's expire.

We are now booked for 6 nights Poly CL in August and 5 nights YC CL in April. No splitting on either trip feels weird. I'm not sure if I can handle that.

Have a great Monday all!

your scaled down trips still sound FAB! I can't wait to try the POLY!

Me and hubs

If hubs can't come I am twisting Janet's arm

Don't tell Brian but I am great with either companion Brian deserves a getaway too though

I need to move to Florida

WOOOHOOOOO for adults trip!

 

[Janet B]

Can't seem to get caught up, work just getting in the way...

Love all the talk about Pinterest! Actually until you all started talking about it I had no clue what it meant it sounds like a lot of fun... now if I can only fit this into my day too!

Melissa, your lobster/tenderloin dinner looked delish. Loved the pix/quote from DH that you posted!!

Wookie, you ADR choices and plans fit nicely! We love Ohana, and putting BOG on your Halloween night makes perfect sense. Be sure to call right at your 6 month mark...BOG is so ever popular. Did you book the fantasmic package at MM?

Jen, Linda and I stayed at POR in January and it is a lovely resort. Think you all will enjoy the resort and the savings... happy DD is better.

GG, only a few days til Diva Day!! Can't wait to see your Tiara pix!

Iheart, having a few trips planned does take the sting out of shorter trips... you will have SO much fun at both (and hopefully a third trip!)

Lacey, nice to "see: you back here! your split seems very doable with just the two of you!

Lacey, MM, Wookie, Melissa, We tend to not be rope drop either... usually arriving around half hour or 1 hour later... this is in August too.. it works for us.

MM, love the shirts Hope you DDs are feeling better.

Miss, went to the Y Friday and Sunday and we return tonight for our first pilates class.. hopefully we aren't the only newbies there...do wonder why much I will hurt tomorrow... will it feel like a ron weasley torture sesstion? If so, happy hour may start early this week.

I am going to WDW in 36 days
OMG too excited to catch up...I am trying

Pas!! Have to make use of those APs, right??

Me and hubs
If hubs can't come I am twisting Janet's arm

Well....It's a tough thing, but someone's has to make sure you stay out of trouble.... but I have a feeling that Brian will be able to go.

Having to all I've missed!!

Marina side is lovely. I think you will enjoy it. Every time I walk back from the boat dock I'm always envious of the people heading to Fiji lol. It's so close!

Happy Birthday Dani!!!

??? Do the boats at that dock carry ECV?

I leave for the DL Diva trip Wednesday morning .... 5 days with 60 crazy Disney loving ladies!!!

Linda That is a huge group!

Good morning, ladies.

How's everyone's Monday so far?


Ginny: You know... looking at the quoted picture of my Happy Hour drink and you mentioning the brewery reminds me to "Never Drink and Internet" I posted the same glass two nights in a row. Here was the appropriate glass:

My Mission Impossible senses knew it was a possible post-imbibing re-post, but all is good, my beerest.

I am going to WDW in 36 days

OMG too excited to catch up...I am trying

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOray!!! I still can't figure out where you're staying - do you even know?

UGH I have to go to work soon....details STAT!!!

LOVE the edgy nurse talk. I learned everything I know from Emergency! Lactating ringers..This is Rampart, Squad 51, do you read me?

So I had a horrible 2 nights at work..then yesterday I worked 3-11p..it slowed down a bit and a fellow WDWnut was showing me info about food booths during F&G...and then 4 of us were playing with dates for airfare...well April 3th-5th had very cheap rates...so I grabbed it. Booked All Star Sports...hoping DMIL will babysit...but either way I am going (DH will have to understand )

Does Brian know yet? If you don't tell him he won't ever know he was uninvited and that Janet took his place

I need to move to Florida

Don't we all!?!

I could move in with my in-laws and live in the same town as Melissa

Jeanette Super! fantastic! Green with envy here! I saw that about the Food booths and wished we were going to F&G this year.

I keep saying I am moving to Florida after this Winter

Now if we can just avoid sequestration. I don't feel we can go ahead with the purchase while this is looming overhead. Now I'm just holding my breath between the upcoming Disney ticket price hike and the rest of this mess.

I'm really fuming about how sequestration has been handled. It was due to take effect 2 JAN and then was delayed and is due to take effect Friday and federal agencies are still acting as if they have no idea what will happen. They've known about this law for many months. DH's agency has been only notified that IF they are personally contacted in coming weeks (which may not happen as he might be deemed 'mission essential'), then they will be advised of the details of the one day a week, 22 week furlough of most federal (non-active duty) employees.

I have to admit that I feel a little silly coming home from an extra additional overcharge WDW spring break trip with possible sequestration beginning the next day for DH. I even mentioned the C-word yesterday - cancelation, because I felt so guilty about going on this trip. This threw DH for a loop. I even thought it would be more prudent to maybe vacation in-state instead and save thousands. Why am I being so pragmatic?

Any other possible sequestration victims out there?
