Hey everyone! I just returned from a lovely 4 day holiday in Miami with my girl friends. Great time had by all! That is one fun City! Spent the days on the beach and the nights on the town. Very relaxing and really recharged me. I have a lot of end of school actitives and I corrdinate a fairly large art fair coming up the first weekend in June. I feel like I have the energy to face it all.

You all have been posting like crazy! So glad to read you got the Trails End PS's you all wanted! WTG to your fast fingers! Wanna help me score CRT for december??? <grin>

I havent read all the posts (I hope to get caught up here AND on the Live repo thread, tomorrow) ((((((Hugs)))))) to everyone who is sick and having tests done... Terry.. ((((Hugs))) good thoughts are headed your way.

Okay..... off to read more!

Doreen: GOOD JOB on the garage sale! I'm glad the weather held out and that your tree was able to protect you from the elements! And in between taking care of everyone else, make sure you take care of yourself too, ok??

Tina: No, you definitely didn't miss anything. LOL The only "babies" in this house will be the grass seedlings out back, and our Siamese cat Mushu that we call our baby. Hehehehe My DSs are still my "babies" too but they hate when I call them that. lol

Laura: Welcome back! I'm glad you had a good time in Miami. Sounds like a fun trip you had!!! And thanks for the good thoughts.



Our trip to Disney World is in 43 days. I am sitting here waiting for my doctor to call with the name of the surgeon. I want an appt ASAP because I *WILL NOT* miss this trip! I want these things (calcifications/tumors/cysts/whatever) tested and removed or whatever they'll do, taken care of ASAP! Not to mention the fact that it'd be nice to know whether or not I have cancer. Of course I am thinking that it's NOT cancer, but you know when there's even a small chance, it's on your mind all the time.

Hi everyone

Terry - You and John must have been real busy lately - a few months ago you had two new arrivals and now you have babies. Can't wait to see what July brings. LOL Terry, are you still planning a mini NJ meet this summer when you come in? Just let me know when and where. I need something to look forward to.

Tina - congrats to Brooke. I'm sure you are so proud of her. Tell her Congrats from us.

Andy - I'm curious how many reservations do we all have total because I also have 10 for 6pm and 7 for 5:50 in addition to the 24 you have plus any individual ones.

Hope everyone stays and gets well soon.

Bev--since Barb was able to get a ressie for 12 at 6:20, I called back and had my ressie changed for 12 at 6:30, we only need 22 seats, so if you like, you could probably cancel your ressies. We are planning on meeting out front on the Trail's End at 6pm on that Friday evening. We have 4 tables that will seat 6 people each, hopefully, we can get tables near one another.

Congratulations on the Illuminations cruise.

We went back and forth before deciding on the wishes cruise this year.
Have to save something for future visits lol

 

[newholidayx2]

Jon & I are on a Wishes cruise w/a DIS family our first wk - leaving from the Wilderness Lodge during that part of our vacation
now we will be on an Illuminations cruise w/a grp of DISers our 2nd wk too - leaving from the BCV during that part of our vacation

seems like Ive already been making PSs for a long time
Will it feel strange to you to start up again?

 

[SeaSpray]

My doctor called back this morning; I have an appt with the surgeon for this Thursday (May 26), for 2:45pm. It's just for a consult, but I'm hoping he'll schedule the procedures quickly, hopefully some time next week. I want to get this overwith so I'll be in good shape for our Disney trip in 43 days

Bev: I will be in NJ in the middle of July, and the end of August. We will definitely have to get together! Where and when?? Anyone else interested? If no one else is interested, Bev, you and I will still get together, ok?? We'll make specific plans once we know if anyone else wants to meet up

Barb: Congrats on getting the PSs and fireworks cruises that you wanted!

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

I got all I planned on getting, the rest are playing by ear when we are there

I have all my character meals and special events, ie firework cruise, disney doll princess tea party, CRT out of the way.

The said thing, while today was your 90 day window for the second half of your trip, today is my 90 day window before we leave WDW for home

 

[Verandah Man]

Terry--a and are headed your way, take care and I hope eveything can be taken care of very soon!!!

 

[sandygirl]

It is so nice to read about everyone's plans and recent adventures!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MARTY.

Terry - I will be praying that you have a wonderful surgeon and that all goes well. I'm sure he will tell you that calcifications are not cancerous, but are markers, a sign to take a closer look. It was the closer look that had me scared. People can't believe that my scar is almost invisible! If you feel like talking send out a PM.

If you set up a meet in NJ for July, I would try to come. The end of August won't be good for us though. It would be so great to see you and Bev and anyone else who could make it. And it sounds like everyone else will be at the Trail's End. LOL.

CONGRATS to Brooke!

Sandy tried on her 3 recital costumes tonight and I almost cried. She is beautiful.

Goodnight everyone,
Darlene

Terry: I am so glad your doctor called and got you to see the other doctor so soon. sending PD it all truns out "GOOD" I have now dealing with chills and eye pain. Think it's kinda strange I am still fatigiue. Well I am going to sleep now. Have a ggod night everyone.

Laura: Welcome back from your trip. Glad you had fun with the girls. I could use that about now...........just don't have the energy.

 

[castoff]

Darlene: Thanks I will tell Brooke, Whenever Brooke is on stage I cry. I don't when I see the costume because I don't take the time to..............To busy getting her ready on time, put her in the right place at right time. Finally I am in the front row and she comes out on to the stage and I lose it. They are happy tears.

Hi to all,

Sorry I haven't posted but things have been crazy with my Grandmother. They told us today the she probably has 48-72 hours left. We are all very sad but none of us wants to see her continuing to live as she is now. I have tried to read a few pages but very quickly.

Terry - sending your way. Hope it all works out fine.

Tina - Tell Brooke "great job and she looked wonderful"

We will be going to Sesame Place sometime in July or August - Is that near anyone?

I will talk to you all soon when things calm down. I really need a Disney fix now!!!

Linda

Tina... how sweet... One of my girls is a girly girl and I cant wait for her to get all dressed up for dance recitals!

Terry... we have millions new babies too. In fact tomorrow I am going to toss some more seeds down, just to make sure. It does bring a smile to my face... I can grow grass!!!

We are off to HHI in just over two weeks, and it is odd to have a trip and no PS's to make... I am less than 90 days out for my DL trip, but most PS's there arent booked until 40ish days out. I must figure them all out and write it on the calender. I would hate to mess up since I am sooooo programed to WDW's time table.

AND>>> I am trying to decide if I want to do a REAS package for our 3 day DCL cruise this September. I dont think they offer a brunch at Palo's on a three day, which doesnt make sense to me... I mean we dont want to miss out on a dining rotation, yet would love to try Palos... I guess Palos will have to wait for the double dip cruise. I am nervous about being able to book a couple of things at the spa at the 75 day mark (is that right. for first time cruisers??) So that is why I am toying with REAS......

yadda yadda yadda everyone should have my problems!

For those that know our gal Shirley at "The Perfect Gift" I received this message from her this morning:

Good morning,
...finally went to the hospital and finding out my foot is broke in a few places---wasn't too much fun when the elevator went out here at the condo and we are 5 stories high and of course Tia decides these are the times she must go down to do her "job" -walking the 140 steps with a broken foot wasn't too comfortable, but did make it
The DR at the hospital asked me what I thought was a silly question - he asked me where I was from and I answered Key West - he started rolling over laughing telling me he was raised in the keys and had many pleasurable moments growing up around the conchs and how "unique' they were, but very hardheaded and he knew when he found out how I hurt myself and my age most of all my stubbiness, he felt he had an ol' conch on his hands - oh well life is interesting.
Shirley

 

[newholidayx2]

You guys are busy late at night while Im sleeping - lol

Tina - sorry I never said Congratulations to Brooke
Andy - I never met Shirley but have read alot about her. Hope her foot mends quickly

Terry - Good luck w/the doc. Your apt is written down on the calendar near this computer so I remember to ask you Thurs.

Have a good day everyone - today I call for Teppenyaki
Will Spring ever get here?! Summer begins in 35days!

ok now we have Teppenyaki late lunch - after a night around the countries we're planning on an early brkfst (830 which is early for this vacation!) at Fresh followed by lots of time at Stormalong Bay - I may end up at this brkfst myself if DS chooses to sleep in! ok maybe I better make it 9am - lol

 

[SeaSpray]

Thanks SO much everyone, for the good thoughts I really appreciate you all


Darlene: It would be WONDERFUL to see you this summer! When it gets closer, we'll talk about picking a day and place to meet. Maybe the beach? Anyone up for a little get together at the NJ shore? I'm not sure how far that is for all of you though We really can meet anywhere, it'd be great to just see some of you, and chat! How is Stan feeling? How many more days of school for Sandy??

Tina: I hope you aren't coming down with anything! When is your appt? Still a few weeks away right? That's so frustrating to have to wait like that I hope you are feeling better soon.

Linda: I am so sorry about your grandmother It's so hard to see a loved one die like that Even when you know they're suffering, it's still hard.
Sesame Place is in Pennsylvania. I took Craig there when he was about 4, Robby was only 1, so I left him home. As I recall, it was a lot of fun

Laura: yada yada yada... Are you a Seinfeld fan too?? I hope you have a great time on Hilton Head! I've heard it's beautiful there!!

Andy: Thanks for the info on Shirley. How did she break her foot? The poor thing! I have a feeling that this won't slow her down too much. She's a wonderful person

Barb: We're doing Teppanyaki for lunch, too. We've never been there before. I hope we get a "fun" chef at our table

Shirley told me she had a bad fall the other day, and that her foot swelled up so bad it looked like an elephant's foot.
