DDA Chapter 27

[lovesdumbo]

Theresa-hope you find something better soon! I know that our company doesn't advertise job openings at all anymore. I think they use craig's list.

Deb-good luck with the new job!

Tia-congrats on the new car-good luck to Phil!

Beth-Laura is beautiful! Hope she had fun.

Janet-good luck on the new job. Can't wait to see photos of your new baby. My friend had a Jack Russel. SO cute but lots of energy.

Debbie-hoop dee doo sounds fun. I've never been and won't go with the 2 over 10 year olds anytime soon. I know the kids (especially Lizzy-oh and me too I guess) would feel funny about a trip without breakfast at Crystal Palace but I don't think we'll be do too many other fixed price meals for a while. DH wants to do Cape May dinner but I don't think it is worth the price for the 5 of us. It would be over $175. I would rather do California Grill or Flying Fish where the kids will all order off the children's menu.




I have to upload a few photos from my trip. We had a few very nice meals. We did Flying Fish twice, California Grill, Via Napoli, Tea at Grand Floridian, breakfast at Crystal Palace, Boma, Kimonos and Sci Fi, and I did La Hacienda take out and Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch on my own. All meals were good. We had requested the Flying Fish server both nights and both nights had a wonderful experience.

I have to make some ADRs for August. I was able to book 8 of the 12 nights at a bounceback rate when I was there so that is good. Now hopefully the AP rates will be better than the general public I have for the first 4 nights when they come out.

I was able to get an additional $500 in air line credits after I got home from our August trip but I found out the first $150 I got expire 7/21/11 because I used credits from last year to purchase the flights. One of my coworkers is wanting me to go in November for a quick trip and the flights don't look too bad around Veteran's Day so I may be able to use $120 of the credits on the two of us.

I feel like I've got a bit of a flu or something. Joe was feeling sick yesterday. I mostly have a sore throat and aches. I've got 2 big days at work tomorrow and Tuesday so hopefully I won't get any worse.

Today is Lizzy's birthday. I think we're doing take out at her request and ice cream cake. She wants me to try a French braid. I've never been able to do them but I guess I should go try.

Good afternoon, DDA!

I have been reading along the past two days, but am swamped with work and things that Bob needs to have done. I am not complaining, just telling you all why I was AWOL.

Sounds like everyone is busy with new things... cars, jobs, dogs, schedules, etc. I hope you all are happy!

 

[my3princes]

Good morning

Theresa have you tried snagajob.com or indeed.com? I agree with Deb about looking at companies websites, you often find they accept applications there & post the positions they are hiring for.

Tia yay for the new vehicle, sounds like a good one!

Beth love the pictures, glad all worked out in the end.

Deb good luck with the new job tomorrow!


After a year of not working, it was finally time for me to go back. I start my new job tomorrow, basically doing the same I was at the last place. Difference is, this is a much better company & there is room to move up or transfer(in town of course).

Also in about 3 weeks we will be adding a new member to our family, a Jack Russell Terrier. Gary's stepmother bought her for us, she is soooooo cute! Can't wait to get her Haven't picked a name yet, we will wait till she is here with us.

Good luck with your new job and your new fur baby

And now Miss Deva has her big girl car seat and she's set too! YAY!!

Bernadette it sounds like you need to take a November trip

 

[my3princes]

We've had a busy weekend here. We've got the camper almost ready for next weekend, just need to add our clothes when we get a closer weather forecast. I think I've got rides figured out for the kids to get where they need to be next week. I guess I should get clothes out for tomorrow. I can already tell that juggling 5 schedules is going to be interesting for the rest of the school year.

Janet,
Congrats on the new job, hope your first day goes great!
Yay for a new doggie! Post pictures when you can. Are you going for a "Disney" name?

 

[my3princes]

Good Luck Janet. I hope you have a fabulous Day!!!!

 

[mommykds]

Bernadette,
I would love to hear your review of Via Napoli & see pictures of all the places you dined. I feel the exact same way with the buffets. Its just so expensive to go with us 5 especially since the 2 younger ones just eat bread.
Happy Birthday to Lizzie!

 

[mommykds]

Deb,
Good luck today!

Good morning.

We had a very busy weekend. Alyssa's class took a trip to Natural Bridge, VA, which was very beautiful, and some Safari Park in the same location, which sucked in comparison to AK. I was completely turned off when our guide let a camel eat a plastic bucket, the size of a large butter tub, with the commentary that they have huge teeth and can chew up anything. HELLO?! What the heck?! I have some pictures up on FB if you want to see. Yesterday we went to the pool for the first time. The water was freezing but the kids got in anyway!

Beth - Laura looked beautiful! Did she have a good time? Was she happy that she decided to go?

Theresa - that you find something soon.

Janet and Deb - good luck on the new jobs.

Tia - yay for a new car! I hope it proves to be reliable!

Debbie - we've been to HDDR 2x and love it. You'll come out of there with that song stuck in your head though!

Janet - JR terriers are hyper! Ours was half Jack Russell and it took several years before he chilled out. I hope your experience is better! Post pictures!

Bernadette - happy birthday to Lizzy! I hope she has a fabulous day!

Good afternoon, DDA!

 

[my3princes]

I survived the first day It wasn't too bad other than having blood drawn to verify vaccinations and the start of the TB test. Oh Joy. I'll take it as this looks like it could work into a career path that will last until I retire. Lots of departments and lots of options. The people seem nice enough.

Hunter lost his game. Colby won his. My nephew even scored a goal. It was pretty cold and windy out with some light rain, but at least we got it in. My hours will need to be 8 - 4:30 this week as you can't change your schedule mid pay period Some sort of union thing. Unfortunately I wasn't given the option until noon today. I might even need to work 8-5 next week, but should be able to change after that. That means that I will be able to have long weekends with my kiddos this summer. There is also opportunity for comp time which will be great for my vacation this summer and I can accrue it for out Hawaii vacation.

 

[bethbuchall]

Deb, I am glad that the first day went well and that this appears to be a great career path for you!

Janet, I hope that your first day went well, too! I can't wait to see puppy pictures.

Bernadette, I can't wait to see trip pictures! I can't go to WDW this year, but I can sure dream about being there, and pictures always help.

Laura said that prom was ok. It was worth it to not lose a friendship, but she didn't really enjoy it either. She doesn't like to dance (and her boyfriend doesn't either), and she doesn't like to witness all the grinding that goes on. The music was much too loud for conversation, and overall it was boring. Also, every time her friend was asked to go out and dance (either by a boy or by a group of girls), she wouldn't go unless Laura went out, too, and Laura found that a little annoying. Laura's boyfriend's family made them a really nice dinner at their house. He also has twin sisters a year younger than Laura and her friend that they know well, so they had a really fun time there.

Happy belated birthday to Lizzie! I remember when I made Pooh shirt designs for her way back when I first started designing. That must have been 2006. How much they have grown up since then!

(These were still on my Photobucket account...)

Happy Birthday Lizzy

Good Morning!

Welcome home Bernadette

Jennifer - I hope the babies rashes clear up soon

Theresa -

After pondering the dining situation we have decided to book Hoop Dee Do, we gone two times prior and had a great time, an evening of laughs is always a good thing. I poured over the menu's of all the signature dining and with the exception of LeCellier, there's not one appetizer DH would be willing to try. (yes he is that picky) And after dining at LeCellier many times on one dining credit I'm not willing to spend two there, maybe I'll get a cheese soup snack at F&W.

Elin - Bob looks like he's making great progress, loved the pictures of his stroll on FB

I've made myself a promise that today is for house cleaning, it has been neglected way too much lately with everything that is going on.

thanks Debbie,

They are looking better. Their faces are almost clear, Sabrinas Diaper rash is almost gone. Julias had been almost gone but then she had a couple of Bms today and it flared up.

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

Good afternoon,

My daughter is honeymooning in Disney, so for her shower gift I booked then a Wishes dessert party, we enjoyed it, we wouldn't book it every trip but I think they will enjoy it, they have a breakfast that morning and no dinner reservations so I thought it would be a good day to book it.

I have a not so fun couple of days ahead of me, I've been having some stomach issues so he wants to check things out with a colonoscopy, tomorrow is prep day and the scope is Thursday, thankfully I will be asleep for the scope, YUCK!

Happy belated Birthday to Lizzie!

Jennifer, glad to hear the twins are improving.

Deb - good luck with the new job
