April 2010 ABD Backstage Magic : California Here We Come!!!

[spokanemom]

Alissa,

Sending you well wishes. I hope you are feeling better today.

Jennifer

Aliisa I am sorry you are sick, here's hoping you are all better soon!

Thank you both. After Urgent Care Part Deux last night I think I will be ok. I went to urgent care yesterday morning and was given some eye drops. I was doing ok all day long. Then later, I went to Costco and was minding my own business and WHAM it felt like I had a shard of glass the size of a boulder in my eye. Luckily my Dr/urgent care office is not far from Costco, so I left my cart and raced to the office. The Dr put numbing meds into my eye and I have never felt such relief. He looked all around in my eye and could not find anything in there, but did find that I have a huge cut in my eye. So, he put some more numbing stuff in that was supposed to last 3-4 hours (it did not...) gave me some other meds for my eye and sent me on my way.

I stayed home today with my right eye closed for most of the day. I thought that working on a computer all day would be a bad idea. It is finally feeling better. Again, I am glad that this happened before the trip. It would really suck dealing with this while trying to have a wonderful time.

So, here's to all of us... May we all get over whatever currently ails us and we fight off whatever tries to attack our immune systems! We need to be well and have a wonderful sick-free time in California!!

Only 8 more days of work. Only 13 more days to pack until I board a plane. And only 14 more sleeps until Our Adventure Begins! See you all soon!

I am on day 10 of this wretched cold, this morning I woke up and thought I don't feel any better than day 1 of this cold.
Then after I showered I felt better than I have in the last 10 days.
So I bought up my carry-on and found the backpacks. Febreezed the backpacks and hung them outside in the fresh air. I will have to repeat this process again tomorrow. I have to remember to bring the backpacks inside and hide before the boys come home from school, as Kenny can read. I have not figured out a responce for these should he find them.
As the day has progressed things are getting worse for this cold or whatever this is, so tomorrow back to the doctor again. Thank god we don't have to pay for our doctor visits!
Then to make matters worse, I gave this cold/whatever to John. He came home from work yesterday feeling pretty bad, and spent most of today in bed.
he usually recovers from these illnesses rather quickly, so here's hoping!
Sorry I haven't been around much, but I just feel lousy!
I hope no one else gets ill before the trip.
Everyone take care, looking forward very much to seeing you all.

12 days from now we will be in California!

Feel better our dear sickies!!! Your timing is at least good, as Alissa said, to get better before traveling.

Sorry to have missed chat and to not have been much around. We're in the third of four weeks of a big variety and comedy festival in Seattle that I've been involved with since its very first year, and I have 17 shows or so in various capacities in addition to my regular work schedule. It is a great time, but what a lot of time!! I'll have just enough time to sort of recover before heading off to the variety and comedy of our trip!

I feel like I'm almost exploding quite a bit of the time now. I can't imagine what next week will be like!

 

[tmli]

We offically start the single digit dance today!!

Hmm, maybe time to start at least gathering the things we need to take in one place!

 

[corky441]

Ok you guys - no one else is allowed to get sick.
Abra-Ca-Dabra get better soon !!!!

Kat & John, I was reading Anna's pre-trip report yesterday and enjoyed seeing your pictures. Can't wait to meet up with you again. We all sorta got separated at Disapalooza. At least this time we'll all be in a smaller group

I've been Febreezing our backbacks too - hope to get them to the fresh air this weekend-they still stink.
AS far as the boys seeing them -
You could tell them you're just getting stuff ready for them when they get into the college program

I keyed in on Kevin's excitement too - I could just picture his face in my mind
I think that's because I was "glowing" too just listening to him

Good eyes Todd -
If anyone noticed it had to be you -

OOOOOOOOOOOOO - wouldn't it be great for ABD to get us into that - I love Guy Fieri

 

[tmli]

We love Guy too...we were hoping he was going to be there! I think we are free that afternoon, I am so going! When do tickets go on sale?

 

[kab407]

The timing of this trip is perfect. I love F&W at WDW. I can't wait to see what DL does. From one of the past DL Podcasts, Pete raved about it!

 

[Dodie]

Love you too Todd!

OOOOOOOOOOOOO - wouldn't it be great for ABD to get us into that - I love Guy Fieri

I really like Guy also, but Phillip would have no interest in that at all. Eating - yes. Watching someone cook or listening to someone talk about cooking - no.

I am excited that we'll have the opportunity to experience the DLR F&W. We've never even been to WDW during F&W!

I don't think tickets are sold for the Celebrity Culinary Demonstrations.

From the DCA website:

Learn about your favorite foods and wines as experts share their knowledge and passion. Reservations are not required. These events are first-come, first-seated and will fill up quickly. You are encouraged to arrive early. Queues will form outside of the venue.

Even better! Although I must admit I often prefer to just buy a ticket then the line up and wait!!
