Sorry about the work thing - been there, done that - but hooray for the call! Hooray for the cake!

Sorry about the work thing - been there, done that - but hooray for the call! Hooray for the cake!

Thanks - this one was totally my fault. My brain was just in the wrong place on Friday and I brought everything home with me this weekend to finish the loan write-up I was working on and then unpacked it all when I got home to find that I hadn't brought all the really important things like financial statements, receivable agings, loan agreements. etc... to review and analyze.

D'OH! Because it had to be finished by about 11AM this morning.

I managed to get it done on time anyway this morning and was rewarded with a call from V&A.

I wish I was eating that cake....all of it....right now.

How you doin' on your own vacation preparedness? BTW, don't ask about ours - we're living on the edge.

 

[andiepie]

OH, I'm so jealous! Your trip is so soon! I hope you have a great one!

 

[jenr812]

Yay for an uplifting call from V&A! Sorry your day started so crappy though!

There will be plenty of food for all - just remember that Plankton sometimes requires extra attention in a more formal setting.

OH, I'm so jealous! Your trip is so soon! I hope you have a great one!

Hi andiepie; hope all is well in Arkansas!

Thanks for the good trip wishes - we will take tons of pictures and eat way too much food and make up all sorts of silly tales to keep you reading indefinitely...or at least until you can take another trip to WDW, how's that?

 

[oybolshoi]

Yay for an uplifting call from V&A! Sorry your day started so crappy though!

Hey, Jen! You posted while I was posting and I just missed ya. D'OH!

Thanks - it was a bad Monday of my own making...other than the traffic I have no one to blame but me (well, I could blame the people who capped my departmental budget but then my head would explode and that would just be nasty so let's forget I even brought it up... ).

The call from V&A was the perfect reminder of all the good things that I have to be excited and happy about.

Thanks for popping in - don't you have a trip to get ready for?

And then about 11AM this morning my phone rang and it was someone from Victoria and Albert's calling to verify our chef's table reservation for next Tuesday evening!




Even though we won't be able to eat it that night, I ordered an anniversary cake. The stuff from the GF bakery is sooooo yummy and we can eat it for breakfast for the rest of the week.

And the whole rest of my day was brighter from that point on. Isn't that silly?

4 more days - woo hooooty hoo!!!

Yeah you! Your trip is going to be fabulous!

 

[jakenjess]

Not silly at all for a call from V&A's to make your day! I'm such a dork that I get all excited from any piece of mail that has the word Disney on it, even if it's some mass mailing that thousands of people got. It still makes me feel special.

Sorry your day started off rough yesterday. I hate when Monday mornings go that way (I had one of those myself yesterday) but I figure it can only go up from there. Especially when you have a Disney trip right around the corner!

Are you planning on taking Plankton to the Chef's Table with you?! I can picture him now - running amuk in the kitchen! Are you taking him? Hmmmmm?

 

[oybolshoi]

Yeah you! Your trip is going to be fabulous!

Thanks - I'm going to do everything I can to make it fabulous!!

You and I are the same kind of dork, then! We just received new Castaway Club membership cards from Disney Cruise Line this weekend and it made me all warm and fuzzy (and it made me wish we were taking another cruise, too!).

Thanks, and I'm sorry to hear your Monday started off cruddy as well. Like I said, I was halfway responsible for the bad start but that phone call sure helped to remind me about all the reasons I had to be in a good mood.

Oh yeah, Plankton is coming with us to the Chef's Table. I just hope no one accidentally tries to add him to a sauce or a soup.

I feel that I'm on the edge with you. I had a big Monday kind of day yesterday - after two years of being totally on time and prepared for preschool, the LAST DAY EVER I forgot their backpacks. They swim within school, so they had to have them. I had planned on just sticking around until I was supposed to watch the last swim day, but had to run home. I found a psychotic mouse in my garage, dealt with that, then went back with the backpacks, but forgot my own purse, so that I had no money for lunch or ID or anything. Yeah.

My aunt flew in last night from UT, and that was fine. We went to the mall and picked up the teachers' end-of-year gifts, and today the kids had their annual check ups with shots.

So, I've been concentrating more on the end-of-school stuff than the trip stuff, so I have not done any more packing, laundry, etc. Yikes!

(Sorry for the hijack - just had to vent!)

 

[DISNEYDUET]

Hey Brenda!!! Just got back and boy the crowds were crazy!! Lines were not long, just a lot of people standing around doing nothing. Lots of school groups. The weather was wonderful!! Mid 80's and sunny. It was nice to go and not break a sweat running around. I hope you have a fantastic trip. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!!! Safe travels and we will see you when you get back!

Oh Arkansas is just fantastic! (man I really wish sarcasm came across better in type)

Hopefully with all of trip reports and food pictures, I'll have more than enough to hold me over and then some before my trip to WDW.

 

[DisneyJo]

Whooohooo a call from V&A what a way to make your day brighter or should I say magical?

 

[nts4wdw]

I'm having such a hard time finding time (or energy) to post these days, so I wanted to make sure to tell you Bye! before you left. Here's hoping you have a magical and memorable trip filled with all the things you love! You deserve it! And I can't wait to hear all about it! (Is that enough exclamation points?)
Have fun!

 

[mcarthur205]

Wow - I can't believe that I got so far behind with this report! I had seven pages to read, I really have to do better when it comes to keeping up to date. I realised this evening that it's nearly time for you to leave for your shrubbery trip so I wanted to be sure to wish you bon voyage. Enjoy yourselves, have fun with Plankton, and take plenty of pictures

Looking forward to having three of your reports to read when you get back!

 

[Twingle]

Ashamed to say that I've gotten behind on this thread. Really, the "Grimace" photo on Argie Bargie puts me into a fit of giggles everytime I think about it. My children are concerned.

Anywhoo,

I haven't read the entire thread (up to page 17! PROMISE! I'll be all caught up before you get back!), but I wanted to make sure you remembered about getting your 'do done before you go to V&A's. I don't remember what salon you went to in October - but I DO remember you didn't take a picture of the back of your head - hint, hint, hint.

Just trying to be Suzy Helpershoes, ya know?

 

[BrerMama]

I have to tell you, today started off as a really crappy Monday, mostly because I did something really stupid and then tried to rectify it by getting to work at an ungodly hour only to be mocked by the traffic gods at every turn.

Cursed...that's what I am!

How fun for you! Have a wonderful trip! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

 

[BriarRosie]

Gah! Pictures of foie gras dance in my head!

(Ok, it's a banana. Work with me.)

I got my Castaway Club card in the mail, too. It only reminds me that I'm
long overdue for a Disney Cruise. If you want real envy, my friends went
on the Trans-Atlantic crossing, and then they're doing the first Med cruise,
back to back.
