Hope everyone is feeling better real soon!!!!



I've been adding borders to my photopass pictures and I think this time may have actually pushed me over the edge to insanity. It is the only way to explain yesterday's events.

When I was in WDW in Jan my friend Terry had a new small pocket size Sony camera that she bought at Target for $129. I looked it up at Target and BJ's online when I got home and both were $129. I finally uploaded the pictures Lizzy took at WDW on my old little Sony camera and the spot that has been on the sensor since at least May 2006 is now much worse. The Sony Terry bought would take memory I already have, is 8mp, 5x zoom, has image stabilizer and optical view finder. So I decide I should get that.

I look on Target.com and they don't have it. BJ's and Staples both want $229 for it, Amazon $179. I call the Sony outlet and they have a model up for $162. This model has been discontinued but the replacements aren't available yet. I decide to go look at a Target store. I go to one at lunch yesterday and they only have one a model down for $99 in pink. So I ask them to see if they can find the one I want at another Target. They find one and have it put aside for me.

After work yesterday I drive to that Target (someplace I've never been) about 10 miles from my office. I get there and the price is $229. I wasn't paying that. So I stop at BJ's on my way home and they have it for $117.90. I pay for it and they can't find it. So they call and find it in the BJ's near the Target I went to at lunch. I drive the 14 miles there and you would have thought I would have known to asked the price this time. It was $159.90 and even though I had the receipt showing the purchase & refund at the other store they wouldn't match.

I just wasn't in the mood to go home empty handed so I drive to the Sony outlet to pay $2 more for a better camera. I get there and the outlets are on winter hours and closed at 6:00pm. When I got home I discover that last night was the last night of winter hours.

BUT....I did call my sister when I was at the 2nd BJ's. She lives near the outlets so she met me there and we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast for dinner. We had a really nice time!!!!!!

I get in my car and drive 40 miles home.

I couldn't sleep when I got home so I looked up all the specs on the model I wanted and the one a step down. They really weren't all that different-the model down was 7.2 mp, 4x zoom. I went back to the first BJ's today and bought that model in SILVER for $95. I get a flyer from BJ's in the mail today and it is in it for $169.99.

I've got to admit it was all kind of funny.

OK....off to go work on more borders......

so what is for supper? We went to sams monday to check prices on a couple of things and ended up buying the meat that you would make chicken fried steak out of. As that is what my mom was coooking and she had the girls. so we cooked some of them their and brought the rest home. Jeff is grilling them now. He is also grilling a pork tenderloin that we will have tomorrow night. No sense wasting the coals cook 2 meals at once.

Well, Katie, Leslie and Jacob are going to the annual cub scout blue and gold banquet. They'll probably have spaghetti there. That seems to be the only thing our cubmaster is comfortable cooking. Mary, Timothy and I will stay home. Mary and I will be partaking of chicken noodle soup, as that is the only thing that sounds remotely good.

Abi had callbacks today for her school's musical....we are just waiting to hear what part she is playing (and what musical it will be as the teacher changed it today because there weren't enough kids who could sing).

Good luck to Abi. I can't wait to hear what she's doing and in what musical!

 

[babytrees]

Your day sounds like a comedy of errors, Bernadette!!

I thought of you today....the person who would be my immediate supervisor was named Bernadette

Good luck to Abi. I can't wait to hear what she's doing and in what musical!

neither can she!!

 

[Glynis]

Abi isn't sure She does say it's not going to be a musical....now it will be a melodrama!

Those are even more fun! In college, we always did a night of melodramas. It was a great fundraiser! We served dinner and encouraged audience participation (booing the villain, cheering for the hero, and sighing for the heroine). It was always so much fun!

Think Dudley Do Right and Snidley Whiplash! I loves me some melodrama!

Littleton did "Pure as the Driven Snow" the first year the new theater was completed....my mom and I had so much fun.

I love melodramas.

Tomorrow Abi and I are going to watch Pirates of Penzance at the high school....I hope it's as good as I remember. (I will love it anyway as I know quite a few of the man male leads and all of the pit )

oh my

 

[babytrees]

With that, I am going to get off.....I haven't been sleeping well and I am just tuckered.

Tomorrow I am going to take myself to the movies....it's cheapest on Friday and Saturday mornings and I have a gift card that will cover the ticket. I am going to watch "He's Just Not That Into You" as "Bride Wars" is already out of the theater.

 

[ReAnSt]

You are leaving already

Have a wonderful time & I hope to see you next week!

Have fun Vicki!

I am leaving Monday night.

I am beyond ready. I could care less that I am not packed. I would be perfectly happy to just hop on the plane.

Today I thought I locked my keys in my trunk. Luckily I had not locked my car.

I got a ticket, for quote off the ticket "did left turn where signs prohibit left turn." I needed a restroom ASAP, I saw the sign for no U turn but missed the no left hand turn sign. The officer stopped me took my info to go process. Left me use a restroom and then after I was back in my car gave me a ticket.

My dinner was from Wendy's. I have had something out at least one meal everyday for like the last week.

My goal starting the day I get back is to eat healthy and exercise. I hope to lose 15-20 pounds by my Birthday in June. I need to cut out most of the eating out. I think menu planning is in order, so I have things I can pack for both lunch and dinner on days I need 2-3 meals on the go. But that will be later. I have a trip to get ready for.

Theresa congratulations to Abi!

Bernadette what a day

 

[lovesdumbo]

Glynis-Joe's Blue & Gold is Saturday night. It is a pot luck-we have to pick a state and bring a food from that state. We picked MA and are bringing Boston Baked Beans.

Your day sounds like a comedy of errors, Bernadette!!

I thought of you today....the person who would be my immediate supervisor was named Bernadette

That has to be a good sign!!!!!

Sounds like you need a vacation! That stinks about the ticket!

Becky sorry about the ticket!

Hi everyone, I'm home. DAMN IT!!!
Had a great time, didn't want to come home. I don't do trip reports, but will give ya some highlights.

We decided to get up at 2:00 am the 19th cause we had gotten 2" of snow and sleet the night before and we didn't know how the roads would be. No trouble at Allentown, but had a delay at Philly. They were checking the plane and there was a problem with the one engine, so we had to take a different plane to Orlando.

ME fine, got luggage in about 2 hrs. Got to resort to check in, John asked how much to upgrade to a king room. She checked to see if there was a king available, and they upgraded us for free! (building 1 room 1332 corner room, lake view.)

Got to room and there was a large towel Mickey Head on the bed. ºOº For an 8 day stay we got 7 towel animals. 2 swans, 2 chicks, a puppy, a lobster and a baby bunny. The room was very clean and stayed that way the entire time.

For the 1st time ever, I can say the buses for POFQ stunk (big time).

Weather was cool most days, but nice. Parks were crowded but manageable (we won't do peak season ever again)
John did Soarin (60 minute wait), we rode everything we wanted and did the parks several times.

Dole whip - good but a little to rich. (after my Dole whip a bird pooped on me ) CP lunch 4 thumbs up.
Called for an ADR for Boatwrights for one night, couldn't get in until 8:30 so we walked over got got seated immediately. I decided not to do the carriage ride.

Ok I have shorts & pants picked out to take, tomorrow I will deal with the tops. I have way to much clothing that I want to take & with doing carry on only, I have to give somewhere lol Besides the jeans I will be wearing down there I think I will still pack one more pair. So I guess I need to cut back on the shorts It will be worse when I try to decide which tops to take!

Gary is already rolling his eyes at me Remember he always fits everything into a backpack
