Thats the kind of attitude we like around here, forget about the 104 fever, the chills, the blurry vision....Just DIS DIS DIS

That's rosjtr; ots ienap sji e sonewqasl.

Too much Nyquil....sorry.

Just kidding. I have some chronic respiratory issues so every 2-3 months I get pretty congested and really weak, tired. Not much doctors can do.....

Here are more pics from this past year.....there is a running theme w/ me and my tongue..........here's one outside of Cosmic Rays. Notice how wet my shirt is from the rain...

Here are more hat pics:

And here's one for Beverly...she's given me years of entertainment..so a kiss for her at Club Cool...

February 2008 trip update

I never thought I'd better doing this, but I am actually putting a binder together. There are enough different variables this year to warrant me putting an official WDW planning binder together. I am working on this binder tonight while I am watching Monday Night Football.

Farrah!!!!

Thanks

I am a rookie on binders after 13 trips! I'll be learning as I go, but I have a little over 3 months to get this right. We'll see if I can get one done for each family in our group--that would be 4 binders total. My friends might think I'm whack if I made binders.......

Jordan- drop some DL bombs! I love me some good stories

a binder you say, well when it is done, you need to post a picture of each page so we can see how you did.

I'll have to think of some choice ones...trying to decide where to post them.

I just picked up a new binder and dividers at Office Depot. I'm feeling the pressure to deliver the goods.

My parents live off of Euclid and La Palma right behind Servite.

My roommates and I go to Los Sanchez on Garden Grove and Harbor alot. Their salsa is AWESOME.

I had to open my big mouth....

Okay, so I've spent the better part of the last 3-4 hours trying to put together a binder.

Most of my angst came from trying to figure out how to download the Disney Font to my computer. I found the font and was able to get it on our desktop. However, getting it from one file and install it to the fonts folder was a completely different story. Unlike most of my Asian brethren, I am computer challenged. So after trying to figure it out for AN HOUR, I finally figured it out.....

Here are a few pictures of the result. I am pretty happy with the results, if I do have to say so myself.

Here's me, Bingo and the binder:

Here's me and my new love:

I take my new binder everywhere:

Does this sound normal to you?

1) Come home from work and immediately sign on to DIS or email to see what's going on.

2) Spend 3-4 hours working on a WDW binder COVER.

3) Have your roommates photograph you with said binder all over your house.

According to my roommates, this type of behavior is not normal. They laugh at me, but I think they are secretly scheduling an intervention tomorrow. I overheard the words Straightjacket and needs heavy sedation and get the loon out of here. Do you think I should be concerned?

There have been a few requests for pics of the contents of the binder.

What? I didn't know stuff had to go INSIDE the binder?

Here's one sample of a spreadsheet I've done:

Notice the holes at the top. The 3-hole punch and I got into it. He won.

The photo is out of focus because my Confirmation #s for ADRs are listed.

Some of the things that you can maybe make out.

1) On top I have each park listed with that day's park hours. The AM EMH is highlighted in yellow and the PM EMH in blue.

2) Each park has it's own color code as does Rest/Nap times and Meal times...

If you have any other questions about it let me know. I may be willing to email spreadsheets to those who might be interested.

Edit to add: The spreadsheets help me in planning. They give me an overall look at the week and help me see how time is used.

1) I make sure that there is balance of time spent in each park--according to our preferences.
2) I make sure there is enough Rest/Nap time scheduled.
3) I make sure that we're not waking up at the crack of dawn every day.
4) I make sure there is enough free time scheduled.

I fell off my computer chair laughing....that has to be one of the best lines I've read in a looong time!

And the pictures? You're awesome!

Oo! Pick me Jordan pick me! I'm interested! Your binder looks great! And don't listen to your roommates, you're not crazy. Just filled with the magic of Disney!

 

[pierresgirl]

Those pics are GREAT! So funny! No spreadsheet needed but how about a cookie from Pizza Planet? Just saying

 

[moparop]

That binder is AWESOME!! And don't worry... I spent a good hour trying to figure out how to add a font the first time I tried as well. Are you making binders for the entire group or are the other people of the group on their own?

That intinerary looks cool! I might need one of those!

 

[meriann]

I am happy to hear I am not the only crazy one, I have a binder too! I don't have spread sheets yet. I am waiting to see what the EMH will be for next June and then I will start all that.

For now I have resturant menu's and show descripitons seperated by park. I also have a few brocheure ect.. that I have.

YEA for the ultra organized of the world!

Yeah, when I was in my calculus class in high school, my teacher said to me,
"What happened to you?" He was referring to my aptitude for math.

About the pictures, see what a little peer pressure can do? Don't ask me to jump off a cliff or there may be no more updates........

Oo! Pick me Jordan pick me! I'm interested! Your binder looks great! And don't listen to your roommates, you're not crazy. Just filled with the magic of Disney!

If you're serious, let me know and we can Private Message email info.

Don't laugh, but when I read your update, I actually thought to myself, "I wonder if I could overnight some cookies to Leyla...?" Really. I'm sure my spreadsheet doesn't taste that good.

Thanks!!!! I was pretty determined last night. The cover is plain, but it works for me.
