Angelrose's Journey

[chell]

Sorry you didn't get all of the water out today. Be careful moping it up. Don't over do it.

If you happen to get the report ready while I'm gone and post it I'll understand.

Of course I'll tell you all about it when I get back. I've never done a TR before. Maybe I'll try to do one this year. But that will mean I need to get a good memory all of a sudden or take notes. My guess is that I should take notes.

 

[Angelrose]

I took notes all through the day chell. Just a few words to spark my memory. You'd be surprised at how much you can forget if you don't take notes.

 

[chell]

I'll try to remember to take notes. Larry has to carry the bag because my shoulder hurts too bad to carry one. Isn't that sad?

Do you ever get home and look at a note and try to figure out what the heck that was supposed to stand for? I do that to myself now here at home.

 

[Angelrose]

I carry a small notepad in my waist pack. I jot down events. Like breakfast at Crystal Palace, rode HM and SP. Had lunch at CHH. Went to Epcot, rode Soarin.

Things like that. That way I know where I was and that helps me remember special things. Of course if Jesse did something especially cute, I would jot that down too. I did a lot of jotting. LOL

Hi ladies...

Hope you are all dry now Angelrose! What a great idea to jot down notes as the day unfolds. Me?? I would not remember where I put the notes! BAD Memory! My daughter keeps telling me to do crossword puzzles to sharpen the brain but I think that would be like putting a band aid on a broken leg! Lood forward to reading your TR!!

If I haven't missed you Michelle have a safe and WONDERFUL trip to WDW! As if you couldn't???? Especially at New Years! Celebrate it big! We are going to a house party lol...kind of pales doesn't it???

We are all off on a cruise next week..leave here Jan 7 for Fort Lauderdale and then set out on a 10 day cruise Jan 9. I have had an awful back and my husband has a pinched nerve in his shoulder sooooo we are both looking forward to not doing anything! My sister and her husband are coming along from Scotland as well as our daughters, daughter's BF and a couple of friends, so we are a party unto ourselves!

Just wanted to stop by to wish all you special ladies that post here a very very HAPPY NEW YEAR filled with good health and abundant with blessings.
See you next year!

Hey Minnie56! I've been wondering where you were. We leave tomorrow. YAY!!! Your trip sounds wonderful! I bet you will have such a wonderful time with so many loved ones. That is great that you were all able to book the trip together and coordinate your schedules.

Last night we were talking past midnight again. We better get some sleep tonight! We are heading to the Studios after we check in at the Swan tomorrow. They are open until 3 am with the EMH. So we have a long day ahead of us. I'll be working until noon. I don't know why. It's not like I'll get a lot accomplished. My body will be there but my mind is already in WDW.

We are now checked in for our flight and I upgraded us to first class. I'm so glad they now offer the option to do that at a fraction of the cost of a regular first class ticket! I love the larger seats. Being able to get on and off the flight first is great too. But if I keep this kind of stuff up I'm going to be out of spending money before we get there.

Angelrose I hope your basement is all dry today!

 

[chell]

Happy New Year to you Minnie56!!!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

I cannot believe it's time for chell to go!! Then Minnie56 next - it's seems like we wait, wait, wait and then it's here!!

Okay, what's this about upgrading to first class ahead of time for less? Must one be a frequent flyer with loads of miles? This is right up my alley!! Do tell, please!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

[Angelrose]

Hello everyone. chell have a wonderful trip tomorrow and try and get some rest!

minnie56, that cruise sounds wonderful and relaxing. You must be so excited!

I got my squeezey mop today and a Minnie Mouse doll for Jesse. I will wrap it up like a late Christmas present for the next time I see him. Poor baby has an ear infection and 102 temp. I probably won't see him this weekend. I was too tired to do any mopping today, so I will start that tomorrow. I'll do a little each day until it's done. But it is drying out nicely. What a relief.

I think my vacation is catching up with me. I am so tired. I took a nap this afternoon and then fell asleep again after dinner!

 

[chell]

Angelrose do you have a fan set up anywhere in the basement? That would help it dry quicker. Remember to take it easy with that mop. You can get your back out of whack real easy. Yes, I'm speaking from experience.

Christine, no frequent miles here. US Airways offers the upgrade for $50 per person. So yeah, $100 is a lot but in a way it isn't compared to the full price of a first class ticket. For AirTran I think it is $35 for each leg of the flight. That's what it was last year I believe. When you fly first class you get on there first and off first. And your checked bags are free. We have 2 bags and to check them that is $40, so we really only paid $60. Then alcohol is free. So we will keep asking for drinks. Okay, so we aren't drinkers but we'll bring those little bottles home to friends. I'll have one Bailey's though. That stuff is actually good!

 

[Angelrose]

Yes I do have a big fan set up in the basement. Chuck brought his over for me to use. And yes, it does help dry it out very nicely. After I mop a bit, I'm going to move the fan into another room to help that dry out a bit more. I'm hoping by the end of the weekend it will be all dry or at least mostly dry.

 

[chell]

Angelrose I'm sorry you are so tired.

 

[chell]

Good, I'm glad you have a fan! That will make it a little easier on you.

Well Ladies I need to head to bed. Hopefully I will be asleep before midnight tonight. I doubt I'll log on tomorrow. But if anyone wants to email me while I'm on vacation Christine has my email and she can give it to any of you. I get emails on my phone. I don't mind one bit.

I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!!!

Angelrose I'll be saying a prayer for you as the new year gets started.

Hugs and love to you all! I'm glad that I'll be starting this new year with all of you as my friends.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Godspeed, chell..and bless your heart! I'll be emailing you a Happy New year!!

Angelrose, I'm sorry you are so tired, but know how the excitement, travel, vacation can catch up after things calm down at home..and you've had to deal with the flooding...so do get some rest, dear friend.

Goodnight, my friends. I am also very grateful for each of you and look forward to our visits here in 2010. God bless us every one!

 

[minnie56]

I am looking forward to our cruise, yes!! Anywhere warm is awfully nice....
BON VOYAGE Chell!

Everyone travel safe and if you are home, have a wonderful New Years!

 

[minnie56]

Oh Angelrose...life has been busy. It's understandable that you are weary...such busy days leading up to this point.

Hugs to you all

Just stopping in to wish everyone a Happy (early) New Year.

DH made it home Tuesday evening. It's so nice to have him home from West Virginia. School for DD's and I starts back Jan 6, so we're all enjoying somme lazy time until then. Hope chell has a great WDW trip and that everyone else is well and has a great 20101!

Angelrose, I would be tired after pumping all that water out, especially so soon after returning from WDW!! Just relax and take it easy for awhile. It always takes me a couple of weeks after WDW to rest back up.

 

[Angelrose]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I tried using the squeeze sponge mop, but it soaked up very little water at a time. I just got a big sponge that Ron used and got down on my hands and knees and got a lot done in a short amount of time. I moved the fan a little more to blow dry where I mopped up. I only have one more spot to do. It is a rather large puddle over by the wall. There are some hoses and junk in the way too. I will get to that on Saturday. Chuck called tonight and asked if I wanted to go to the mall with them tomorrow. Jesse is going to pick out his Build A Bear. GEEEEEEEEEE, let me check my date book. LOL Of course I said yes. Jesse is still not feeling 100% with that ear infection. Hopefully with another dose of antibiotics, he will feel better tomorrow.

I have a couple of pictures of Jesse that I wanted to share.

Thoughtful Jesse

When are those characters coming to visit my table??

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh, that child is too cute!!! Jesse had better wait for Sophia!

Oh, he is precious - now you;ve got me even more excited to see the more pics and read your TR!

Good news - Michelle's flight was delayed, but they arrived safe and sound and are now at the Swan!! Last report was about 20 mins ago and they were pulling into the Swan. So excited for them!!

Angelrose, I am going to the mall with Sophia and Mia too - can't wait untiul she is old enough for Build A Bear.

Have fun tomorrow everyone!

 

[minniecarousel]

Awwww.....he is such an adorable boy! Have fun tomorrow!
