[stacikristine]

That new VB purchases!!! Adorable. I really like that pattern. I wasn't sure if I did when I was looking online, but yours is just fantastic!

 

[TravelBug86]

Wow, that is the cutest Vera I've seen yet! I'm loving the plaid, as well.
Jen- I haven't had too much time to post but I did read your lists and they are making me want to fly down for a long weekend LOL! Also want to say congrats again on the weight loss- 12lbs is HUGE! I've been trying to lose a few myself (before I start teaching again in Sept) so I know how hard it is!

 

[kschafer]

ooh Paula, I like like like!! Can't wait for a review of it in use!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Love the saddlebag! Very, very cute. I haven't broken down (yet) and bought a Vera, but I'm sure it's looming in my future, they are all so adorable-and wow-looks like you can pack quite a bit in there!

I love the lanyard idea for EMHs.

 

[Roxychica7]

Love the new Vera's P..I'm a total sucker for the Purple Punch pattern! Did you get Allison a katie bag? I was trying to figure it out.

So sorry you two for my lack of appearances here, it seems like all the gnomies started a PTR or TR at the same time! I can't believe you're getting so close already!!

 

[jenjolt]

I was a Vera purchaser today... a new Lanyard for school... one for me, one for my sister in law!

YAY!!!!! I got my lanyard and my zip ID case arrived this week!! Can't wait to show you guys!!!

Pretty new Veras!!! I must fight the temptation to go over to the website now!

Resistance is Futile!! I'm starting to think Vera should be giving us DIS members special perks for all the business we are giving them LOL!!!

Don't worry I'm sure you'll come to the dark side in no time!! I might or might not have a bid up on Ebay right now for a saddlebag...and if I win all the blame goes to Paula...Prince P can go after her instead of me LOL!!!!

[JPFamilyMom]

Cute Vera, I saw one in person for the first time ever (some store I've never heard of, I'm in a new state). They are very nice, I'll have to get one now. Just have to find a print that matches my personality. They had luggage tags at this store too, I liked that, does anyone have those? How do they work? Do you like it? Any recommendations on a style for a newbie? Oh and the little coin purse things were cute too. If my DH only knew where all my ideas for new shopping items comes from

 

[Happydog]

OKAY, all caught up now! After two weeks away it has taken me a while to get to everyone!!!! SO the plans for your trip, WHAT good times!!!!! SO much fun you will all have... hey, you have to make room for Peter Pan!! I know it is on your "if we have time" list but comeone... PETER PAN is FantasyLand!!!!!

Congrats on the weight loss, I think that is great!!

Can't wait for the big "pre Disney" shopping reveal -- and Paula's vera bag was TOOOOOOO cute! I would love a lanyard too... may have to go check that out! I really want a cosmetic bag.... After buying two mailbags this summer, I am hooked!

Looking forward to more!

Vera's are wonderful purses and I love that I can wash mine YAY!!!! I never really thought about getting the luggage tags LOL!!

I have a very sick disease when it comes to Veras...apparently I can't get enough LOL!!!

OOh Vera has cosmetic bags...oh you people are going to kill me!! I'm with you I'm totally hooked...by this trip in October I will be the proud owner of 4 different types of Veras LOL!!!!

And yeah, gotta do Peter Pan first thing in the morning when it's a walk-on.

I hope all of your planning is coming along well, as long as your continuing weight loss effort.

Yes LL and her purses...we're not going to mention the fact that I might have been enabled by Paula and its totally her fault and I'm blaming her and pointing all fingers at her and not taking responsibility for my own actions for my latest purchase LOL!!!!

You are right nothing beats Peter Pan when its a walkon and you can ride it a couple of times LOL!! I'm still trying to find the blocks in the play room that have Peter Pan written on them LOL!! I will find it one day!!!

MeMom...how are you doing?? Hope school is going well for you!!! Can't wait to hear about your wonderful girls trip you guys have planned LOL!!!

Chapter 12: Always let your conscience be your guide. (Jiminy Cricket)-Pinocchio

WOOT!! I am at one month and counting!!! So of course this means I must post a fabulous update and what would be more fun and fabulous than discussing shopping. (Which leads me to listening to my inner shopping conscience and get myself into a lot of trouble LOL) Oh yes the Chat room aka cess pool of retail enabling has struck with a mighty force and many purchases have been made not only by the beautiful and enchanting P, but by myself also!!!!

However before we dive into some serious retail therapy let’s update on the going-ons in our lives right now!! P is still tirelessly working away at her job, however school will be beginning soon for her children and she is going to definitely enjoy a quiet house on Monday YAY!! Which means much back to school shopping is being done in final preparation!! She also recently visited the Pittsburg Zoo (which I’m very jealous about) and got to see baby elephants!!

I also went back to work, this year I will be teaching all Biology (YAY for one prep)! I have been at work for 2 days already and I know who my chatterboxes will be and have separated them accordingly! I have also taken care of some very very important details, such as a signed leave form and a substitute lined up for the whole week. I have one particular sub who I know I can leave my students with for an entire week and she could run the room like I would want it ran and she is lined up for me, nothing makes a trip more relaxing for me than to know my room is in good hands! For those of you following along in my weight loss journey, I’m now down 17lbs and another milestone has been passed and will hopefully never be seen again!!!

Also a new addition has been added to the itinerary. Paula and I were discussing where we would like to eat on our Universal Night and we decided it would be fun to eat at DTD, well we finally decided on a location. We will be having a late dinner at the Wolfgang Puck Café. We are both very excited to try this new location for both of us!!!
Now on to the purchases….

MNSSHP tickets have been purchased!!! YAY!!! I had been debating about waiting to buy them until we were there or a little closer, but the OCD in me was screaming YOU MUST BUY now and I succumbed to the voice and got our tickets!!! I really can’t wait to attend this party. It’s like two of my most favorite things in all of Disney (HM and Villians) will have exploded all over the park! Besides we get to dress up and have a great time…did I mention what we would be going as…oh wait….I’m going to torture you and make you wait until the TR for that little tidbit LOL!!!

PJs- Yes Paula and I have both purchased new PJs (Disney themed pjs) for this little trip. Now I have to tell you there is a very funny story associated with this. Paula mentioned she had gone to Wal-mart and purchased PJs and as would be tradition this usually means about an hour later I will be at Wal-mart purchasing pjs…actually I did need a new pair since my others were too big. We didn’t discuss our purchases until later and well….her pjs are the top picture and mine are the bottom two…notice anything????? (Besides the fact she takes a way better picture than me LOL, another great perk of going to Disney with P… her fabulous picture taking LOL)

Yup that’s right we have matching PJs…it’s almost scary when you think about it LOL!!!!

Shirts- of course it wouldn’t be a trip to Disney if Disney shirts weren’t bought

Paula's Purchases

I have to say when I saw the one with Animal that says I’m the Loud Friend I broke out laughing because it’s just way too funny!!! I wish I could find a shirt now that says I’m the Quiet Friend LOL!

Jen’s purchase

Vera’s- Would a true shopping list involving P and I be complete without a Vera purchase! I am going to include pictures of her newest purchases again because it’s fun to compare!!

Paula’s Lanyard and Zip Id Case

Jen’s Lanyard and Zip Id Case

Paula’s Saddle Up bag

Jen’s Saddle Up bag (yes I caved…I’m so bad when it comes to will power and Vera’s, however I must tell you total cost $44.00 including shipping on EBAY…that is already $20.00 less than retail and even more if you added the shipping costs)

Well that about wraps it up for Paula’s purchases…I have purchased things here and there since the spring for this trip so I figure I will post some of those now!!!

Trading Pins and New Lanyard

I do believe Paula has also purchased some pins to do some trading, she already promised to trade with me a certain Haunted Mansion pin that she received LOL!

My New Crocs (Thanks to Brook!! I love these; they make the best work shoes EVER!!)

Appropriate Reading Material

I’m in the middle of both of these books and they are fantastic! They are fun reads!!!! I’ll be sending my Mousejunkies to Katie in the near future as I finish it!!!

Disney Scrapbook

It wouldn’t be a trip to Disney if I didn’t buy a scrapbook for the trip!!!! I love this one and can’t wait to get home and scrap to my heart’s content!!!

And there you have it!!! Our recent trip purchases!!! I have also made a manicure/pedicure appointment a couple of days before I leave and have scheduled to get my hair done.

COUNTDOWN TIME:

I am exactly 1 month away today YAY!! So that means Paula is 1 Month 2 days away WOOT!!! We’ll have to do a special must-do list for her 1 month milestone!!! Tonight’s countdown choices were picked by a dear friend of mine, LL!! As many of you know tomorrow is a big day for her as she heads into surgery, so I wanted to do some of her favorites this evening!!

LL’s Choice for Hidden Mickey in the Movies…

MEET THE ROBINSONS​

Okay so next time you are watching this movie, take a closer look at the scene right after you first meet Uncle Art. Uncle Art will be timing Uncle Gaston being shot from a cannon, take a closer peek at the timer in Uncle Art’s hand…it should look awfully similar to you!

LL’s Choice for Hidden Mickey in the WDW…

CAROUSEL OF PROGRESS (okay everyone sing with me…It’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow)​

If I’m not mistaken, on our May trip I pointed this Hidden Mickey out to LL as we were sitting through COP…I wonder if she will remember it! It’s in the very last scene, the Christmas scene of the future. Next time you are in the theater, take a moment and really look at the figurines on the fireplace mantle. There is a very special nutcracker waiting for you to spot it!!!! Happy Hunting!!!

YAY for only ONE month!!!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Woo hoo for being a month away!!! The countdown is just ticking away, isn't it? Oh, I just adore all the new purchases -- especially those Mickey pajamas! Guess who will be taking a detour through that section at Walmart the next time!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I want a VB lanyard! How cute are they!?!

Must not shop.

MUST NOT SHOP.

Yet.



Thank you for the Hidden Mickeys! I think I might have to watch Meet the Robinsons tonight. I also had to pick Carousel of Progress because tomorrow WILL be a great big beautiful tomorrow.

I do remember the one you pointed out to me! Yay!

 

[jenjolt]

Woo hoo for being a month away!!! The countdown is just ticking away, isn't it? Oh, I just adore all the new purchases -- especially those Mickey pajamas! Guess who will be taking a detour through that section at Walmart the next time!

I think it is a must...that you have the exact same pjs as us!! Go CP Go!!! I'm freely enabling you!!!!

 

[DreaGirl]

Wow! So much to comment on:

1-I'm totally getting those PJ pants when I am at Wal-Mart next.

2-Just bought a Vera Zip ID Case in Carnaby and love it. Currently drooling over your saddlebag. Can't wait to hear your opinion on it as a park bag.

3-I have those same Crocs and love them. I bought them in pink and have worn them at least twice a week. I just wore them to the zoo and they were great.

4-Love that scrapbook. Where did you get it?

1 MONTH!!

 

[DreaGirl]

I forgot one, we love Wolfgang Pucks! It was so good! I hope you enjoy it.

 

[ILuvCrush]

Iam STILL cracking up that we will be all so matchy matchy lol!!! You'd think it was planned

I have also bought pins and of course my shake and bake sandals!! The pins aren't for me... but for all the kiddies going with me in november....sooner or later I'll have a pic on that PTR with those

Jen I love the crocs....what kind are they??? maybe I should take a look for those.....

I also have been reading the "Hidden Magic" book.... even Tom has been perusing it...and told me he didn't realize there was somuch hidden detail inthe parks!!

Jen...Is that the Creative Memories Disney Milestone album???? I did my last Disney trip in a Milestone.... had the whole thing scrapped in like 3 hours I think I'm going digital this time.... Although i reserve the right to change my mind, of course!!

I used my Saddle Bag at the Pittsburgh Zoo...I had it packed EXACTLY like I do at WDW... both cameras, extra lens, and all.....it was PERFECT!! Everything fit and it did not bother my back or shoulder at all!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

WOW ladies!!!! Those are some great purchases. I LOVE the pink Vera purchase Jen. The shirts you all got are GREAT. You know Jen... I'm sure a DISigner could make you a quiet friend shirt I don't know which one, but I'm sure someone out there could.

So funny you got the same pj's, I saw some Tink ones at Walmart I have my eye on.

for 1 month
