Nope, never heard of a swamp cooler. It can get -22 Fahrenheit here, so a swamp cooler wouldn't be a good idea in any house around here! brrrrr!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

BUT I have to say that I am grateful for that cold weather, as it kills off all the bugs for the season, and also prevents us from getting really big ones! But that's probably the only thing I like about winter!

 

[Belle Ella]

That makes sense. I could never live in the cold weather, especially somewhere that snows!

I like my California weather.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I always say that I hate the winter, and I want to move somewhere warm like California, but I think that if I did that, I would probably miss it. Especially at Christmas time. I could deal with less snow though. If it stayed in the mountains so the skiers would be happy, I would be happy with that!

There is something very wrong about you at DLR without your camera Jazz. Say it ain't so!

I can't imagine going without mine. How would I remember anything? lol

We had a swamp cooler when we lived up in CA. I hated that thing. It was super loud and the humidity made my hair all crazy. lol I did like our whole house fan though. That thing was awesome for cooling the house overnight. These days I'm a bit partial to my central heat/air. haha

Oh, and I think you did a good job on your shell.

 

[kaoden39]

I love how the shell is looking. Be sure and post a picture of the finished product. You without camera? Say it isn't so.

Another thing about a swamp cooler, they have a musty smell too.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I usually love the heat, but I am kind of glad that it's not year round. If the winters were a little shorter, I'd be happier, but I am not liking the sound of swamp coolers or musty air. I like the cool crisp air.

That's one thing nice about the area that Belle Ella live, most of the time in the summer if it gets hot all we have to do is head to San Francisco. Chances are it will be foggy in San Francisco.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

That is nice then. At least there is somewhere to get away. Here, if it is hot, most likely everywhere around us is just as hot. If its cold, everywhere close is just as cold, so we pretty much just have to suck it up. We do live close to a lake though, so when it is hot, we have somewhere to go to cool off. But usually on those days, everyone else has that idea too, so we don't go very often.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yay!!! I am finally all caught up!

I am tempted to take a stop that the Disney Soda Fountain on the way home, if it's not too far out of the way. We are planning a two-night stop in Las Vegas, so maybe if we leave early enough, we can stop there along the way.

Well, I wouldn't be camera free - that would be blasphemy! I'm thinking of just taking my P&S so I wont have to lug the huge SLR around since it'll be the middle of summer and more crowded. And I would also see just how much my TR-style changes without thousands of photos!

I'm thinking of leaving the SLR home either this trip or with the Divas next year. But knowing me it wont happen either time!

O.M.E. I totally forgot about the smell. You are so right. Very musty. Can you see why I hate my room, lol.

And I will definitely share the finished product of the shell. Maybe even in the rest of the stages as I'm working on it. Turns out that we aren't doing the movie this morning but we might tomorrow morning (I'm not holding my breath) and I have to do the new wash by tomorrow afternoon regardless. Oiy. It never ends. But I have a week left to finish it.

Awesome! It's a lot to go through, isn't it? I try to do my best to make it easy to navigate though.

Oh goodness. I wonder what I'm going to do when we fill up this thread and I have to start a new one. Anyone know the max post count/pages before a thread is supposed to close?

Hm, how long is the drive to Vegas supposed to be? No wait, are you flying to Vegas? I'm having a D'OH moment here! I hope you would have a chance to stop by the Soda Fountain it was an absolute blast with a capital B! I want to do it every time I do now.

Depending on what time we end up leaving for our July trip we may be able to stop by on the drive down because we're more interested in spending some final hours at Disneyland before we drive home on our final day since we really only have 3 days this time. Man, oh man, did I get spoiled my last two trips with 4 and 5+ days!

I found your trip report pretty easy to read. It was a lot of fun, so it kept my attention, even when the talk wasn't about Disney!

We are going to be driving our whole trip. Flights from here are just way too expensive, and this way we can see more places. Really we are only doing Disneyland and Las Vegas, but I am looking forward to the drive as well. It will be about 2, 14 hour days of driving though, to get to Disneyland from here. It will be long, but very worth it. And according to google, Las Vegas is about a 4 and a half hour drive from Disneyland. I will probably add an hour to that in case traffic is bad. It will be a Thursday, so I don't know. We will be doing Saturday to Wednesday in DLR and Thursday night and Friday night in Vegas. Then head back home.

I can see taking something smaller like your P&S instead of your big camera especially when it's busy. I just couldn't picture you there with out any cameras at all. lol

Speaking of school, since no one is posting on my thread but me...lol, my marketing professor is driving me nuts. His assignemtnlist for this week shows we have a marketing plan due at the end of the week and says there's supposed to be a list of companies we can choose from, but there is no list and he's not responding to email. If I don't have a response by tomorrow, I'll pick my own dang company. lol

Man, that's a l lot of driving. But I get why you're doing it. And I do think you'll have time to stop by the Soda Fountain depending on if you were planning on doing anything else that day before driving to Vegas. I don't remember exactly how long it took us, but I didn't find it that far away. Although we did get lost, but that is simply because I have the worlds worst sense of direction and no GPS to guide the way.

Me without a camera would be ... ... a nightmare, no doubt!

And now I feel bad. Sorry I haven't checked your thread in a while Denise. I've been so busy jumping from here to there I know I always forget something.

I can't stand in when there aren't clear directions for something. And it's even worse that you've been given direction, but not the rest of the information necessary! I think I would go a little batty.

Boo. I have an Anthro. exam tonight.

We are planning on leaving right in the morning for Vegas, so I think it shouldn't be a problem to take a teeny detour. I am not too bad with directions, and I am sure I will have my trusty iPhone with me to make sure we don't get lost!


Yeah I checked flight prices before we even thought about the possibility of driving and it was going to cost nearly $1600 for the two of us! Uh, no thanks! I will pay less than $500 to drive. Means more spending money for Disney! I will be loading up on souvenirs for sure!

Good luck on your exam tonight!

Wow, I miss all the fun. It looks like you all were having fun while I was nursing a headache. I am starting my own project today. Or should I say Kacy and I are. We are making a paper chain with a link to take off everyday until we leave. And a friend gave me the idea of putting a message inside the links so I think I will do that on the last two weeks to a month on my links.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

That sounds like a lot of fun! I went and grabbed a whole bunch of those Mickey Paint samples the other day, and I think I want to make a countdown with them, but not sure exactly what I am going to do yet. I am going to start at 100, so I still have quite a long time to plan one out. *sigh*

Oh wow you are ambitious. I am going for current. I will post a picture when we are done. We are going to use my edging scissors too so that should make it more fun.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yeah I need more hobbies. At least finding this forum is giving me more things to do in a day. It's also giving me more ideas for crafty stuff! I have been buying Disney scrapbook stuff for a long time, and I am sooo excited that I will actually be able to use it soon!

Those scissors always make for a fun outcome!

Whenever there is a sale at the craft store I stock up. I managed to get a bunch of scissors when they had them 2 for a $1, and I have bicycle related stickers and papers. I need to start stocking up on the Disney stuff, such a hardship. I think that the HD Mickey head stickers would look cute in a scrapbook too.
