I forgot to tell you that on the 4th of July we let Chiara go to the mall with her friend and her dad. this was the first time I ever let her do anything like that and I was a nervous nellie but she had such a blast and discovered Hollister LOL. - Your comment about Ally going in a car with a friend reminded me.
Good luck with everything today. I am going to costco with my girls and my mom so this should be interesting.
I totally understand how hard this is, I am the exact same way. I do let the girls go with friends and their parents - but they have to be parents I know really well. The girls don't always understand this.
I hope you had fun at Costco.
Awww, that last pic is soooo cute!!!!!!
Yay for the budget! That is awesome....we are still over a year out and are thinking of areas to cut cause I think we will have trouble saving for all we want to do. we'll see!
It is crazy to me that you have to drive to work to see when you work....I have never heard of such a thing
Yah - I kind of wished I would have be saving more diligently sooner... This happens to me every single time. I always feel like I am stressing until the last minute to get everything paid for.
I agree - it is crazy -and annoying. LOL
quote:The room inventory survey of fridges is now complete, and not all rooms are affected (only around 50% at Riverside in fact, due to a bit of luck during the recent refurb) so requesting a fridge (even for non-medical reasons) might well get you one. I don't think this is going to be as big of a deal as people feared.
I saw this... I also read it in the FQ thread - which is where we are staying. So hopefully it all works out.
Geez. i am LATE to the party.
I really don't think the fridge is a big deal??
But that's just me. Matt is a HORRIBLE over heater to the point of throwing up. Talking to doctor's about it (since he is in so many sports) Keep him drinking Gatorade Lots of shade stops. (this helps since i always hit a DSA) and stop in air conditioned areas. I also plan to get this:
Mickey Cooler
OR!!!
THIS!
This way we will have a cooler with us. JUST in case. I also plan on those FROG TOGS everyone is talking about great idea to keep them cool.
If She is as bad at over heating as your saying i don't think fashion is a problem for a coolant thingy. Ya know?!?!
The more time goes on, the less worried about it I am... It was just that initial "freak out" moment - ya know? We will be fine... I found out that FQ has Powerade in their refillable fountain drinks - so I will be able to fill our mugs with that every morning... Not that I look forward to drinking that nasty stuff - but I think we can deal with it for 10 days? I hope... I also plan to insist that the girls order a glass of water with meals... The last time - we drank almost all soda for every meal, and I think that was part of the issue?
i am SOOOOOO glad you got your PP+.. Can't wait to see how your pictures come out!!! The trip is really coming up FAST!!!!
Me too!!! I am super excited to have it...
I just wonder - now are we going to have to stand in these massive lines to get our ride photos added to our PP+ card?
Awwwwwwwww the girls in that Picture is JUST SO CUTE!!!!!
It's hard to believe that was 10 years ago - it seems like yesterday... It went by way too fast!
I am in LOVE with the backpack one... once the trip get a little closer i will be calling the florist are awesome magical peeps.. I used them in the past...
These are really cool... But I am too much of a tightwad - LOL
She is oot n' aboot this weekend.
Right here.....
Oh crap....the lady that sits behind me (aka...mini boss) just drove back in. Gotta go pretend to work for the next hour. Then I'm OUTTA HERE!
Hahaha... I pretend to work all the time. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
have a great weekend can't wait to hear about it!
Me too!!!!!!!
D~
Getting closer, closer, closer!
Nini
I know........ You should all see me, I am a total basket case! LOL
Cute pictures of the girls. Yippie for having everything paid off. What a nice feeling. Plus you have all your "extras" budgeted in so you are in GREAT shape.
I sure hope so... I always worry that I will forget something...
I think you three will really enjoy having the PP+. I'm sure your ride photos will be awesome Wonder if you will be able to find your photographer this year?
I sure hope so... I am even more excitedt hat I was able to pay for it with GCs, so it only cost me $22 more than last year - which is a steal. Considering I purchased the pictures from Tusker House (before PP+ was available) and that was like $35... So, I am super excited to have it this time.
Unfortunately, our photographer won't be there this time.
I thought I told you all this? Anyways, after I'd sent Disney a raving compliment about her, she looked me up on FB - and we ended up friending eachother and keeping in touch a little bit. Anyways... She is moving to Austrailia for a few months for school and she leaves like 2 weeks before we get to FL. So, we will totally miss her... The girls are bummed, but she plans to go back to working for WDW when she is finished in Australia. It's such an amazing opportunity for her!
Congratulations for being in such good shape with the funds for the trip!!!
I love the picture. The girls look so sweet.
I have a question on ;your PP+ .... after you submitted your payment did you instantly get a confirmation? I submitted mine, but the website now is just sitting with a blank screen. So, I don't know if the transaction was completed or what. I will obviously call tomorrow. I was just wondering if you had this problem. Do you get an email confirmation? Thanks.
Thanks Dee! I did get a confirmation right away and an email right after. I would definately call them, they are so helpful. I had to email them last year after my CD came and wouldn't load - they express mailed me another set of CDs that same day.

Lots and lots of trip stuff happened yesterday...
First of all... Alli and I went to Target while V was at her appt... I got a new tank top for our trip (I've been buying like one per week for a while now, and I think I need to go through and weed them out. LOL)... I also purchased my $2 mini photo album for my Mini Planner - I still need to print my pictures for it, but I have a few more Dismeets to iron out first.
Then we grabbed V from her appointment... and we grabbed BFF from her house... Off to JoAnn's we went. I've been steadily running out of thread for several weeks - but I just hadn't found time to get to JA's to get more... You know how much I "love" that store. LOL So, I stock piled more thread - which is important.
Then it was off to the mall... I had a mission... I had to stop at Victoria's Secret to get my shampoo/conditioner that I use in Disney. It's my scent - and I love it... I rarely use it at home, unless I need a pick-me-up, and it always reminds me of Disney. Can't go there with out it. The very nice lady behindt he counter even let me use my 11 day expired -$10 coupon I had from my birthday... That was soooo NICE of her!
After that - we went to Bath and Body Works... Mo and Suzi will vouch - I meant to go there when we were at the MOA, because I was out of my shower gel at that point... but I hate carrying BBW bags around because they get so heavy. So, I finally made it back to BBW to get my shower gel - I am a HAPPY girl!
I took Alli back to town to meet up with her friend for lunch... I had the "precious cargo" talk with her in the middle of
Walmart - to Alli's embarassment... I am not much of a mean person, so the whole time I was saying everything with a smile... Alli was teasing me later last night about it, she said the whole conversation would have been better if I could have done it with a meaner look. LOL
But I think I got the point across crystal clear. When the girls got home safely - I hugged both of them and I thanked them for being safe. And I was soooo relieved!
We came home yesterday to a package in the mail for Alli... A surprise from Lynn (sorry Lynn, I am blanking on your Disname)... Last winter, she had sent a big box of pixie dust for us, and there was one thing that missed the box. Well it arrived yesterday - and Alli was soooooo excited!!! It was a set of Up! pins!!!
Then, once we got home, I also had a message from my WONDERFUL TA... She told me that all of my Disney documents were at her home office and they are now enroute to me!!!! Yay!!! So, I should have all my ME stuff in my hands with in the next few days!!!
Yesterday afternoon - I completed my custom order for the week. And last night, I finished my own trip wallet. So, I should have photos of both of those items posted later this morning.
Today, I plan to get started on my auction bag for Thursday, and V's fabric came the day before yesterday - so I washed it yesterday and I hope to get her bag cut out this evening.
Oh, one last trip thing... The Frogg Toggs... I also washed those yesterday - very NEAT! I wore one in my sewing room for a while (since, if you'll remember, it's the only room in our house with out an air vent - so it gets horribly hot) - and it kept me cool. Waaaay awesome!!! And they smell waaaay better after you wash them. LOL
The last of my 2003 photos... Josh and the pirates...
OK - it's storming here, so I want to get this posted before we lose electricity. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Prayers to all who need them.
D~
Yippie for having everything paid off. What a nice feeling. 
Wonder if you will be able to find your photographer this year?
It does add so much to the bags/wallets! I also need to try quilting, what kind of batting do you use? How do you keep your lines so straight? I have so much to learn! Thank you for the compliment though
