I even pack our clothes according to day, and have them labeled for each day - I'm nuts!!!
Whenever we go on vacation, my friend calls me exactly 2 weeks prior to us leaving and asks, "Are you packing yet?" because he knows I start laying out clothes on the dining room table exactly 2 weeks prior to us leaving 
I'm so paranoid of Poison Ivy
, and I told her NOT to touch anything that's green. We had so much of this stuff around our yard when we first moved into our house, and it took a lot of time, money, and education to get rid of most of it (and we did it w/o anyone getting touched by it). So, I'm really hoping that Stephanie comes home from this trip Poison Ivy free.
We are going on a field trip today for work! Ok, so it's not really a field trip but a party for our department. We are going on a backstage tour of Lincoln Park Zoo. They had to devide us up into 3 groups b/c we are a fairly large department. Anywho, I was put in the group going backstage of the Ape House! I'm quite excited. I always joke with my family that I'd fit right in with the monkeys at the zoo! So this morning before my dad and I each left for work, he says to me "make sure you stay with the group. The zoo might think you are one of their's!" 
have a wonderful day!
Wonderful woman, don't get me wrong but we're talking about a woman who thinks it's ok to start packing a 1/2 hour before leavign for the airport
We packed last night for this weekend and I have a folder with all confirmations ie DVC/ ME and our itinerary. Can't wait! Again this is very tame for me. 
! Not bad work!
Good Morning Everyone!
Slo ~ Hope Stephanie makes it home poisen ivy free
Esbrick ~ Thanks again! If you care to take a look, I have a planning journal. The link is in my siggy. I don't have any pics of my dress, or anything i'm 'wearing' on the day of the wedding (i.e. tiara, garter, shoes, etc.) in there b/c Mike is a DIS lurker and I don't want to give anything away. If you want to see them, let me know and I'll PM you!
Everyone else ~
but he gets the job done and is a great marketer. His phone number is on the website but if it's any easier 847-622-0180. Let me know if you want his cell as i have that too! Tell him that the Krick's, Mike & Eilis (I-Leash) sent you!
Today I had stuff from Gymboree, The Gap, Ralph Lauren, Old Navy, Arizona (JCPenney), Macy's brand and random other stores. Who knows??????????? 
I look through their racks and honestly thing they've rejected from me are nicer. 
I don't have a dining room so they'll bunk together for that week before our trip while I pack. to everyone else.
It was a marvelous night for a moon dance. . . even in a brewery dock . It's a ruff job but someone's gotta do it right?
Mike played chauffer). Can't wait to get more into it!
The zoo was a lot of fun! And it was nice to get out of the office at 1:45 I learned alot about Gorillas and Chimps. It was quite interesting. It was my first time at Lincoln Park Zoo and had a lot of fun. It was very nice!
She has been to the track before, but never when there were Indy cars on it. I can hardly wait to hear what her reaction is the first time she hears a car on the track - it's an awesome sound - one that can never be described properly. I also hope she gets to see some of her favorite drivers - she would love to get a glimpse of them in real life.
Today is a big day for Stephanie - she gets to go with her dad and grandpa to The Indianapolis Motor Speedway
esbrick - Your position at work sounds really great!!!! Have you been working for them a long time?
DG - I"m glad you enjoyed the zoo - it's my favorite local zoo.
Well, I have to go make sure Steph is ready to go
Have a great Friday everyone!!!
esbrick Step away from the Crackberry!!!! You DO NOT need any updates from us on your trip!!!!
Bunchy will always BE HERE! No matter her address!Bunchy you will be missed..
She said that Kevin explained a lot to her, so she always knew what was going on. This was a great experience for her, because she has never had a day trip with her dad, because I am normally always with. This was a big step for me to let her go, because I was very nervous about her going into busy bathrooms alone, but she did okay, and I will not worry next time. I wish I was able to help you. When is the kids last day of school, and when is the moving day again - I forget. Where is the band playing?
