good luck with your practicewriter those things drive me nuts LOL.
have fun at Target. I have work today, then it is just the kids and I tonight as G is working a double.
I am going to try and do a 1 mile walk today at some point. I haven't really figured out a routine for us yet.
Thanks Chiara- I think I've got the Practicewriter figured out - LOL - after all those auctions last month, it couldn't get much worse.
Target went by really fast yesterday.
I hope your walk went well.
I can't wait to see your auction bag - the sneak peeks look awesome! Have fun at work, that's where I am as you can tell, I'm really working hard!
THanks Stephanie... LOL - I wish I could work that hard at work.
I fully agree with this...
What great News!!!!!! amazing she is recovery so quickly! may i ask how old is she?
Awesome for Mickey Mail!!! it's SO CLOSE!
I love the picture of the mickey hat that is a darn RIOT!!! the EE is adorable. you all looks fantastic!
Thanks Mo!
So glad to hear this!! I hope the pt will continue to strengthen her and she will make a full recovery. What an amazing journey she has been through and what courage and determination she has displayed. Please tell her she is an inspiration to all of us and we are cheering her on. Continued prayer going out to her and her family.
D~ thanks for the kind words. I just may try my hand at a ptr. I forgot to mention your Mickey Mail, but I know that's when I get so excited I can hardly stand it. Of course for you it means so much to do, so little time, but I hope you are feeling that great excitement that YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!
Today's photo: The first thing I thought was, my gosh, D~ looks like a teenager!! Great photo! (and I love V's hat!)
Hahaha... Most of the time, I act like one too.
Yes, do try that PTR - especially because you will have so much family with you.
Hurray for Kat being now on outpatient PT!
Hurrah for Mickey Mail!!
DH's brother's trauma was self inflicted and there's a very long story to go along with that, starting back over 6 years ago. What's been making it worse is his estranged wife still has power of attorney and every decision has to be made by her and the family has been suspicious of her motivations for the previously state 6 years, or more.
Ultimately the decision has been to take him off life support - which in the long run will end his multiple levels of suffering. I am most concerned with DH's state and he has made his peace and is concentrating on being strength for his mom. I'm just here for him, and feel like I'm not doing much.
My ticker says 2 months and 4 days. That means 65 days before we actually leave for FL...I've got so much to do.....
That sounds like such a sad situation. I can't imagine how hard it must be for all of you to watch this for so long. Many prayers and hugs going out to you (((hugs))).
I can't wait to see the auction bag.
Not grocery shopping in a month? Oh boy...I hate to see that shopping cart.
I've been fortunate with My Disney Experience thus far...no problems (although it will not pull up our Candlelight Processional Dinner in December on my phone, but it is listed in my dining reservations on the website, so I'm okay).
Love the picture by EE (even if I hate the ride).
Yah - that shopping cart is going to be a mess... As of now, my list is really short - which means there will probably be a lot of impulse buys... Not a whole lot of coupons at the moment - as I just cleaned out my binder the o ther night.
MDE has been pretty good for me, for the most part - but there are times when it's really wacko!
Speaking of MDE...is anyone else having too many tickets show up in their profile? I have both 8 day park hopper and 9 day park hopper for each member in my party showing up...
While I admit it would be nice for Disney to give me the extra 8 day park hopper... I seriously doubt they are that generous! LOL!
Nini
I wish...
hey I have a question about APs,my DD and I were thinking of getting APs but we were told we could not do the dinning plan because with magic your way everyone in the room has to have the same plane dinning plan, and tickets.
really confuseon the whole thing.
It looks like you already got a bunch of answers. So, I just wanted to say hi!
I agree - its way too hot to do much outdoors here too. Heat index today is 100 and its going up tomorrow & Friday.
Thank you Lois. She is determined to make a complete recovery - and her Dad is keeping her on track.
According to MDE we still owe $2500 on our trip - which is paid for and I have the receipt from Disney stating that.
Guess I should call and double check.
Again, thank all of you for your continued support for Kat. I know she is anxious to be at hom. Her progress in the last month has been absolutely amazing. I believe that her determination to get over this, her physical condition over all (she was a gymnast while in high school) and the love and support from family and friends, (including all of you) have contributed to her recovery.
I would be super nervous if I was paid in full and MDE told me I had a balance.
I agree - I really think that Kat is an amazing and determined individual - I am so happy and relieved that she is doing so well.
Yay for Mickey Mail.
Add me to the list for being on a diet for Disney. 4 months of bedrest was not kind to my body.
I can't wait to see your next auction bag.
I just love the vintage disney photos of you and the girls.
Thanks!
I cannot imagine what 4 months of bedrest would do to a body, it must be so hard sometimes just to find the energy to do normal things? Hopefully you are able to get back to it slowly.
I should be on the Dis Lose It list too...and If I can get my shoulder/back problems under control, I'll be back to the 10 minutes in the Morning program, which is how I lost 25 lbs in my late 20s.
I absolutely need to start walking so I don't overdo it in September. I know I'll get walking in a couple of weeks, whether I want to or not. DH is starting a full time job again and I'll be home before him to walk the T-Dog.
I hope you are able to get everything under control so that you can get back to your normal routine.
I seem to be overly focused at the moment, after seeing photos over the 4th, I was pretty upset with myself - considering that I had been hard at it for months.
Hi Nini,
I too have an extra 5 days on my profile along with the 10 I know I have. When I paid it off just now it only had the 10 days on the confirmation.
BUMMER no extra 5 days........
AND I AM PAID OFF!!!!!!!
Sorry for the hijack I am so excited and nobody is here that cares or wants to jump up and down and spin in a circle.................
Nite D~
No problem... I don't have many smilies left to do the
PAID IN FULL DANCE with you... But I guarantee I am dancin'!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
Actually it depends on the wording of the promotion. They used to have across the board 2 day base ticket requirement, but now each individual promotion has a different requirement on the number of days you have to purchase to get the Free Dining. I tried to check to make sure (I 'think' it is 4 days this time) but my computer will not cooperate with me and let me pull it up.
Aw...I was really hoping Disney was going to give me a nice present of extra tickets...seeing as how I have gone every year at least once for the past 11 years... But...mine has been paid in full for a few weeks now and it just showed up a little over a week ago.
I am 100% positive Disney will figure it out...long before I have a chance to cash in that extra set of tickets! LOL!
Nini
It would be nice to end up with some extra tickets out of the deal... HOwever - I think you are right.
been really busy lately so I am trying to catch up with everyone
wow, it is getting so close for you!!! good luck getting everything done!
hope your auction goes well tomorrow I will definitely be checking it all out
Thanks for stopping by... I know it takes a while to sift through my PTR - so I appreciate all the time it takes people to do that when they stop by.
Hi everyone, caught up (a miracle!)
Allis bag s gorgeous! I just live the appliqué on your latest custom.
We are looking forward to meeting you all on our Magic Kingdom day. v is super excited to meet the other V. She is "slightly" concerned about there being 2 v's and was coming up with all kinds of nicknames. V1 and v2 etc.....
She is having a blast camping and we have been planning sme of our Disney stuff.
Thanks! LOL about little V... I am sure it will help her if you tell her we don't actually call V "V" - IRL, she goes by Victoria, I just type V, because I am too lazy. LOL
Congrats on the weight loss and toning! I swore up and down that I wAs going to lose weight and be in better shape for this trip. Seriously tho,I'm likely a couple pounds heavier which is myown fauls. Even with having the puppy I find that I jus do not get enough time to walk him and go on the super Long walks, between work and v and photograph and customs, there jus isn't enough time in a day. My eating habits are only the best either, so I am pretty disappointed in myself. I just seem to lack willpower and discline... And time.
Awww... I totally understand - that is how I was for our last trip, and it's so hard to find the time and the frame of mind sometimes. I totally get it. Hopefully, between now and then, you will find the time to do something to make you feel better about it - even if it's just a bubble bath.
We are all very much looking forward to meeting you and little V.

I wish I could say that yesterday was exciting - but it really wasn't.
I did spend most of my day actually IN the photo lab, doing photo lab activities though - so that was nice. I usually don't spend more than 15 minutes in there, total, in one given shift... So it was fun to be back in the lab. We were super busy because this week Target is running their 10 cent sale on prints printed in the store (in the one hour lab)... So I had oodles of people in printing.
Along with the sale, I have to get my own photos in there to be printed for our Mini-planner.
Then, last night, I came home - and I took a very short cat nap... It was nice.
I also begain working on my custom order applique - it's all ready to go this morning, so I will be stitching it out all day.

In trip related news...
Several months ago, I invited one of my jr. highschool bffs to join us for a day in WDW (she now resides in FL). I had also invited her to join us last year - but it just didn't work out for her schedule. I had lost touch with her some time in high school, but I remember calling her once right after I'd had Alli - at that time in her life, she was prepping to move to Germany with her military DH - then I lost touch with her for good.

It wasn't until a few years ago, that we were able to reconnect through Facebook, and we've been good friends since. She is divorced from her DH - but they have a dd, who (I think) is 1 year younger than V.
Anyways, she wants to meet up with us at DHS in the 25th (Ruthie, this does NOT affect the Dismeet - I will just bring her with, if she is still there)... I was able to add her to our Sci-Fi dinner reservations last night. I am very excited to see her, as I have not seen her since about 11th grade - and that was an accidental bumping into eachother.
I am a bit aprehensive about having someone else tour with us, but if it was to be in any park, I would prefer it to be DHS. We tour pretty liesurely there, so it should work out well - and we certainly are not commando people either.
Regardless - I am very excited to see her again, and very excited to finally meet her dd.
**********************************************************
Today's vintage photo... Actually - I will have to put it into another post, because I' have almost used up all my photos for this post... Besides, it's a series of photos...
Have a great day everyone - sending prayers and thoughts out to everyone!!!
