DDA Chapter 4

[tmfranlk]

I haven't said much about it because I can't look at the big picture, it is just too much. So I took Elin's advice and set small goals for myself, and am proud to say that I have acheived goal one. Now on to the next one. . . .

I haven't had a regular soft drink in three weeks, which for me is unheard of, I had to keep pulling up the jeans that I wore today, by the next mini goal I will have to put them away.

I have been craving chocolate, and ice cream, so today at the store I found Breyer's Carb Smart, no sugar added ice cream. I still have to have a small portion, but it was like heaven in a spoon, YUMMO!

I keep telling DH that I promise to try, and I can only take one day at a time.

Sounds like you are doing great, Debbie! Way to go.

Did you see the new pricing for Akershus starting April 27th? The meal now comes with a photo package.

I know! I'm so disappointed. Now it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop and this to jump to 2 TS credits. I switched to Akershus after CRT got so expensive. Now this one is more than I'm willing to spend. Hopefully 1900 Park Fare remains lower so that we have something left, though that's only dinner.

 

[tmfranlk]

Alrighty, then. I've got to go dish up dinner. Catch you all later.

Well, I'm back, but guess no one else is. The good news tonight is that I finally (I hope) have a paid (hopefully) deposit on our trip reservation!! The hope part is because the reservations people were giving Chanon a heck of a time processing the deposit with my gift card. According to the woman at the gift card line, there shouldn't be an issue, but apparently the reservations people aren't sure what they are doing. Either way, we're finally one step closer to making a trip!

Great news, Tia!!

Robyn, Feel better

Does anyone know when Tutto Italia is closing for rehab?

I don't think it has been announced yet, Anne Marie. Everything I have read says "spring 2008" with an opening of "late 2008" which could mean just about anything!

Fly by post, but I wanted to wish Kristine a Happy 40th birthday!!!! I hope you had a great day!

And, Vicki, the girl I teach choir with is a Cardiac RN and runs the Table tests and stress tests for our large Cardiac hospital. She said if you have any questions, she'd be happy to answer them. She explained the whole process to me tonight and told me the name of the common problem that causes this issue in young, healthy adults. It was really long, and now I don't remember it! Just let me know.

It takes a little more effort that just wash and go. I'm so particular about my hair that I could never do that. When I was younger and big hair was in, every morning I would either curl my entire head with a curling iron or set it in hot rollers. At least now with just styling it while I'm drying it I've cut the time down some.

I usually just wash & brush. And I really do mean just that. I wash it in the shower, brush it smooth and brush the bangs (front) all the way back. I don't comb or brush it the rest of the day. I just run my hands through it all day (as a nervous habit).

This haircut allows me to do that and still have it look good. However, when I'm in Lansing I can dress it up by using the product and roller brush. I can handle this. If it required a curling iron or rollers, I don't know that I would do it. I like the extra sleep too much!

Becky I am glad you made it to work & home safely!

Debbie you are doing a wonderful job, hang in there!

Hi Beth, nice to see you pop in!

Robyn hope you feel better soon

Anne Marie I hope your Oct. plans work out!

Jennifer for our 11 night stay in Aug. I only booked 4 ADR's, plus we have the group one at Cape May. I plan on ordering some items from Garden Grocer & we will eat more CS this trip.

As always, Janet has a perfect recap, so I'm just going to "ditto". Thanks, Janet!

Princess & I just came back from dinner. WHY do people insist on touching her? She is afraid of strangers, even though she will smile at them. Yesterday at IHOP the Shriners were there accepting donations. They were wearing those lampshade hats. Princess was TERRIFIED of them, but the kindly grandpa wanted to pat her on the back anyway. She was trying to climb over my shoulder to get away.
Tonight there were 2 ladies sitting diagonal from us. They were waving at her and she was smiling. When they finished eating they came over to us and wanted to pat Princess on the back (which is better than people wanting to touch her face, I suppose). She was petrified.
It would be so much better if people would just admire her from a distance!

Probably because she's just too cute!

That would bother me, too!

Well, winter has returned! We have had 4 days of sunny, warm weather and it lulled us into a false sense of Spring! We are now in the middle of a blizzard. Alan just called to tell me that he was on his way home, but the freeway has been closed down due to an accident and it's been closed so long, people are now running out of gas! Alan was hoping to get around it and get home, but then got diverted to another accident about 30 miles south of us. Don't know when he'll get home now.

I HATE WINTER!!!!!

Ugh - I hope he arrives home safely, and soon! Please let us know when he's safe and sound.

Im so frustrated with my computer--I had a problem a couple weeks ago so they told me they were mailing me a new cord and that would fix it..i just sent the old cord back yesterday and today the same probably is happening..i just got this computer so i shouldnt be ahving all these problems!

i have a feeling they are going to tellm e ot send it to them and they will fix it--i hate being without my computer!

Now im waiting for the online tech support..number 46 in line still..so here i am!

I feel your pain, Jen. Those Dell people are none too helpful typically. I hope it's resolved soon!

Elin - glad you're starting to feel better!

Becky - glad you made it home safely. All of y'all's driving on ice stories scare the poop out of me!

I think I'm headed to bed. I can't get warm sitting here at the computer, and just want to go snuggle in my down comforter.

Have safe, warm nights, and

Happy Valentine's Day, DDA!

When did Disney take off the thing where you can make payments to your ressie online? Now it says to call or just pay when you get there. Maybe because it is room only and not a package?

We always paid on our ressie online for room only. We did this for March and October last year.

ETA: Maybe, this was paid when I was on the phone for other things. I do remember paying online and I thought it was in the last year which were room onlys. But after reading other comments, it is possible that I'm remembering farther back to our packages.

 

[UP Disney]

I would love to have the lithographs from Disney. Anyone else going before March 15th that has a AP that cold get these for me? Let me know & I will send you the coupons.

I can get one more set. We'll have 4 AP's. I'm getting a set for myself, Tammi & Deb. You'll be the 4th. That is all I can handle.

hey Tia 1900 parkfare is actually more expensive then Akershus

Hi, all! I don't have too much time to catch up, but I'm stealing a little computer time.

It was a snow day again! I think that they probably could have been ok with a delay, though we've been getting a little snow all day. This was our last snow day. After this, they will start taking away vacation days.

Laura and I spent the morning playing with my new princess cartridge for my Cricut. Those are a little labor intensive, but very cute! My mother bought one of the new bigger Cricuts. Next time I go to her house, I'm bringing my Disney cartridges to play with.

Isn't it fun? I loved putting together the Mickey from the Mickey & Friends cartridge. I don't have the princess one yet. I hear there is a Pooh & Friends one coming out soon.

I'd love to play with the Disney cartridges on a big cricut. I did the largest size that I could and they still had some "tiny" pieces to deal with.

I finally made it back. I've been so busy today and the kids have wanted lots of attention I think that everything is already for the kids to bring to school for Valentine's Day.

You all know that Chris is as big a Disney nut as me and we indulge each other. Well he thinks that I've lost my mind tonight. I received my t-shirt order today so I started putting together outfits for our June trip. I figure that the kids won't need shorts until late May early June anyway. They have enough non Disney shorts to cover those few weeks. I needed to know what I was up against in the shopping and designing department. I need to decide which AK design I want to use and get that printed and ironed on. I also need to print out the Mickey Swirl design and iron that on. Then I need to create some sort of Patriotic Design for the 11 of us for the Campground Parade and our Fireworks cruise. I'm anxiously awaiting the new HS parade as I'm sure there will be new and different characters and I will need to make additional autograph pages. With less than 20 weeks to go, I can't wait until the last minute...can I
