DDA Chapter 27

[MrsHeg]

Good Morning DDA,

I certainly don't feel like going to work today, nothing wrong I just would like to stay home.

Have a good week everyone!

 

[PNO4TE]

That is a great deal on the campground , Deb!

Debbie - I am with you... I would like to play hooky today too!

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

Great snag, Deb.

Debbie and Elin, I'm like that most days when the alarm goes off at 3:15AM! The bright side is that after today and tomorrow, I'm on vacation!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Morning!

So glad to see Caleb is home!
Tom-good to see you!

Bernadette - we'll have to make plans to see each other, who is going with you in November?

I am going with just a coworker. We've never traveled together so it should be interesting. She's a fanatic too so I'm sure we'll be fine. I will be flying to Orlando the very day my boss and CFO will be flying to the Board meeting to present the budget. So I'll be more than ready for an escape from reality!!!!!

Bernadette - I PM'd you our park days and my cell.

Sent you our days and my cell. Looks like we line up on several days.

We did another 3 plus cord of wood today. My parents are all set for this year We still have more to do here, but no big rush. We hit Staples this afternoon and stocked up on 1 cent notebooks.

I've been searching for campground near Lake George that charge a reasonable rate. Most campgrounds have a base rate then charge extra for holidays and extra for each kid, etc. We wanted to bring our camper there for Labor Day weekend as we have a white water rafting trip booked. We need to be there the following weekend for a car show so it made sense to find a campground that we could book for 9 nights. Some campgrounds run specials in the fall where you can camp on the weekends and leave the camper there during the week. So I search and kept coming up with $750 for 9 nights That obviously wasn't going to happen. Somehow I stumbled on a campground just outside of Lake George (in the town that we are white water rafting in) that had fabulous fall rates with the option to leave the camper there during the week. I called to inquire and it turns out that their web administrator made a few mistakes on the website, but they are honoring the rates. I ended up paying $142 for the 9 nights, 5 of which we will actually be at the campground I don't have to pay an upcharge for the holiday weekend or the charge for kids. I'm feeling lucky tonight

Exhausting!

Yay for the great campground rate!

I got mostly packed yesterday. All the clothes just need to do carry on which means charging stuff and making photo back ups and all that.

I got Lizzy's & Joe's bags completed. They seem happy with them. Here's the 3 of them.
Emma's-I did the quilting on the dalmation fabric, made the shoulder straps on all the bags:

Lizzy's Pooh bag-I had purchased the Pooh applique but did zigzag stitch it onto the bag. You can't quite tell in the photos but her bag is quilted too:

Joe's Walt & Mickey bag. I made the Partners applique for this bag. Joe's bag is made with at heavy duck cloth so no quilting on his.

I sewed the strap adjusters on Lizzy's & Joe's bag the wrong side up so the straps don't stay tight. Now I need to decide if I am up for fixing that before we leave or if they will just have the straps threaded in the opposite way.

I never did make Lizzy PJ shorts. She seem OK with that but if I can't sleep tonight or tomorrow I may just make them-should take less than an hour. I didn't take a photo of Joe's Kermit PJ's but here are Emma's (had to post this photo for Vicki!).

And just to be sure I would really appreciate the vacation....I broke a tooth yesterday. Got into the dentist at 11am today only to be told that I really needed a root canal so I went there at 2:20. And went to/from work in between all those trips. I'll have to get here extra early to get everything done here tomorrow. I guess I should back to work right now!

Today has pretty much sucked. I wound up sick last night. I swear I was in active labor Thought I was feeling better this morning so I headed into work. I lasted about 4 hours then the nausea and body aches were too much to sit still. I came home and tried to sleep, but the aches and fever/chills made that nearly impossible. I still feel achy, but am hoping the worst is over. This rainy weather certainly doesn't help.

Vicki what are your Dec dates?

December 6 - 16.

 

[tmfranlk]

Bernadette - I love the bags, especially Joe's. Very nice! Hope you have a very productive day at work tomorrow and can leave for your trip with no worries.

Deb - Hope you're feeling better!

Things are about the same here. School starts Wed so I don't have any meetings, etc at least for this week. Planned two for next, though, and have tons of stuff to around the house. On the plus side, I do get to pass the 100 day mark for our trip this week!!!

Hope you're feeling better. The weather is starting to improve here so hopefully it is already better for you.

Thanks! I'm off to work now so I can get home at a reasonable hour. I've got a ton to do and meetings at 8:30, 10:00, 1:00 and 3:00. I still feel like I want to puke with the stress but once I get there I'll be OK. Since I'm the only one with an AP we won't go to the parks on our arrival day but I may just sneak off by myself to go get a Grey Goose slushie in France.

Yay for double digit dancing!

love them.

Thanks!

Good morning.

It's my last day of work.

Bernadette, those bags are AWESOME!!! I love the Dalmation one! I hope you get everything done today without pulling your hair out. Have a great trip, and hopefully I'll see you!

Deb - I hope you are feeling better today.

I'm home again today. My body is still aching and I was nauseous when I woke up at 4:30. I'm hoping one last day at home will make me feel much more like myself. I don't think we're camping this weekend so I'll probably work on Friday in hopes of not getting too far behind. I HATE being out.

I heard a huge accident on the interstate near our house. I can't see it, but it must be ba as I've seen several rescue trucks, firetruck, sheriff's, state police, and a Huge wrecker. I assume that a large truck was going too fast with the wet road conditions and lost control on the bridge. This usually happens every ice storm during the winter, not in the summer

ohh that means I do as well.

man its a s-l-o-w day here at work. I of course forgot to bring a book.

Since I'm captive in my home today I finally bit the bullet and started to look at pricing for our Hawaii trip We're getting close to the window for airfare opening up. I may actually need to use a travel agent this time. I wonder if Channon does Hawaii trips? We have the cruise booked, but we want to stay in Honolulu a few days before we move to Aulani then to the cruise then back to Honolulu then stop at DL on the way back. Between the cruise and DVC aspects it seems like a mess for a travel agent.
