AARRGGGHH, need to vent. Have had a very hazardous two months and Tuesday CANNOT come fast enough. Between skin chemo and car problems and house flooding...and then today we had plumbing problems. My husband hurt his neck yesterday and I've been running around like a maniac trying to replace my prescription glasses, but they can't seem to find the prescription where I got them before!

Two months ago I started laying out items for the cruise, making lists, doing paperwork and I thought -- wow, I am going to be so on top of it this time. But unforeseen circumstances have now caused me to be in the "I'm not packed yet and can't even get to the luggage" mode -- my cruise documents aren't even filled out.

Anyway, just needed to let off some steam. Seems like this last week has had it's share of roadblocks.

I sure am looking forward to a Bahama Mama

invaderzim You really need this vacation. Cheer up, it'll all come together and if you forget something not to worry, that is why they have expensive gift shops on board.

I too feel like I'm never going to get done here. My boys are still at work and I was really counting on them to help me a bit tonight. They'll be dead tired when they get in and I don't have the heart to make them do anything. They've both worked 8 weeks this summer earning all their own spending money.

I kwow what you mean by not having junk food so they starve. I have been on WW.. so the fatty stuff was few and far. The FRIDGE can be loaded. and they open it and say " ma, there's nothing to eat!!!!" I can shoot them ..lol
Did the original GINNY leave tonight??

Tonight I'm pushing Pizza for dinner. I spent all day cleaning the kitchen and no way am I doing any cooking to get it dirty :lol

I personally keep thinking about all the good food that will be coming my way in a week. Yum!

 

[Reenieny18]

My son cleans for me,,lol I am spoiled. We redid our house last Spring,, and as things accumulate... the counter gets umm ,, a bit lost...Now Pizz, that was a good idea... not like they need home cooked meals for the next few days. Let them get used to WDW..lol

Actually we're in a 1 bedroom at the oKwest next week. I'm planning on cooking dinner a couple of nights there. Fast easy stuff, but still cooking.

I do laundry too on vacation. But in the DVC it is so easy, it's right in the room. I do the towels in the morning and then our clothing in the evening. Takes no time at all and really cuts down on the packing. For a 10 day trip, we take 4 outfits each. One worn, three packed.

Hi Guys...

Happy Birthday Sandy!!

Doreen - No Im not gone yet so your gonna have to wait a little while longer to start bashing me... LOL

I am finally done with all the things on my list today.. I am totally packed and the car is even loaded up. We have 8 hours left til we leave for the airport. All I need to do it get a shower and lay out the kids clothes for tomorrow. Then hopefully get a few hours sleep before I have to get up at 3AM.

My kids would kill for pizza about now.. they have been eating leftovers all week because I refused to go food shopping this week.

I probably wont get a chance to log on again before we leave so I wish you all a safe journey down to florida and I cant wait to meet you guys.

I have a confession to make, you won't believe this but I haven't even gotten the suitcases down from the attic yet. I keep reading that your all packed and ready to go and look at me. Tomorrow we are having a new heater put in so I didn't want to think about packing until that mess is cleaned up.

Wanta bet that I will be forgetting something.

I went and had my nails done today and of course I smudged one on the way to have my hair dyed. Oh, and my hair came out way too blonde it looks awful. I was thinking about going back to the salon but then if they redye it, it will be even more dry.

Have a great night!

"The Original" Ginny

This were not as bad as last months though.Mary Ann blonde moment here but, What is the DVC?? I do laudry as well. ( more room for booze). I will do it Friday at WDW..

Reading all of the postings has inspired me to start packing.

I went thru my clothes & most don't fit (too small). Solution - SHOPPING - I havn't bought that many clothes for myself since I bought 6 summer dresses at animal kingdom. I spent almost $500. Wow that was fun. The military PX had some bargains on summer clothes.

Then I went to the class six store (liquor store) & bought the ingredients for the kamakazies.

Then I raided the change jar. I guess that will be the tip money.

Happy birthday Sandy .

Safe trips for those ready to leave.

DVC = Disney Vacation Club - It's like a timeshare only it's right on Disney Property. OKWest, BoardWalk Villa, Beach Club Villa, Wilderness Lodge Villa and the the Saratoga Springs are all part of the DVC. In fact we are using our points to cruise. A lot of people say it's not the best use of points but we bought in with the options of using them to cruise every couple of years. My 5 nights in Disney before the cruise and the cruise cost of 570 points in total (470 for the cruse and 10o for 5 nights at the OKWest 1 bedroom) (We get 400 per year) so we've borrowed a bit from next year but we'll still have enough to spend a week at Disney if we want. The only cash outlay I had for the cruise was the $75 transfer fee to book the cruise instead of a DVC hotel. Keep in mind this is for 4 people, so to us it was a good deal!

We haven't been on a cruise in 4 years and we are all so looking forward to being on the Magic again.

Congratulations -- you made me laugh out loud!! That was great. I love it -- the August 28th club! Hope it has a great bar LOL.

See you all next Saturday (panic is now officially setting in).

Cathy

 

[Reenieny18]

Yup.. your one of us.
SHOPPING when you have cloths that ae too small.. Gotta love it.

Doreen - I believe it is Kathy's best friend's husband that is Speedo Man. I wonder if he has the bod to carry off the Speedo - so few do.....so few do....


Mary Anne - I have cruised with points also. Didn't have enough this time, but last time I did. Can you believe we have been members since 1999 and have never stayed in a DVC resort. I use my points how I see fit that's why I bought them. So obviously I believe there is no such thing as a poor use of points! For two days at the end of the cruise we'll be at OKW for the first time. We own at Boardwalk (hence my DIS name O'BWV, O'B for O'Brien & BWV for Boardwalk Villas) I wonder when we'll stay there? BTW, besides my home, DVC has been the best purchase of our lives.

Ginny - God Speed!! Can't wait to meet you!


Lyn - Sorry about your hair. I dyed my yesterday and for some reason my roots came out really light. I look like I have a skunk stripe down my part or it looks like my head is wearing a thong. I'm gonna try and fix it before I leave. Funny, this never happen to me before and I really look funny.
