Jen - The Sheraton Vistana is one that one of the other sites always promotes. MouseSavers, maybe? Or AllEars? Anyway, I always see it advertised.

I need to make 2 more ADRs and follow up with IPO to see if they are going to make my Y&Y ressie for me. When they sent the confirmations for the other stuff they said Y&Y doesn't book 180+10, which I understand. But now we are less than 180 out from the day we want to go there.
I am on the fence about P&PP. I kind of feel like we can take it or leave it, so if they don't have them in August it's OK.

Can you give them a buzz to see if they made it? I was thinking of Y&Y for dinner but the park closes at 5pm. Do you know if they or how long after park close they still serve dinner?

I really liked P&PP (even with the rain) so I am hoping they do it, but if they do, I hope they announce soon for us uber-planners.

Hi Ya'll

I am here in sunny but a little bit nippy Marietta, Ga. I am having a good time with my sister. It seems that after last week of having to deal with the god-awful smell of new carpet being put down at work, I ended up getting sick here.

They took up the carpeting at work and the dust that flew up was unbelievable. It was worse when I went downstairs to leave the building. I just could not breathe and my head was hurting something fierce. So, the next day I came in to see how bad the smell would be from the glue to put the carpet down, or the carpet smell. I tried to work downstairs, but it was just plain awful, so after an hour, I went home. Wednesday, I came in but by 1:30 my eyes were itching and the headache was so bad that I just made it home before I got sick and then went to bed. Thursday and Friday were a little easier with only a little eye irritation and still a big headache. So, Saturday I got up at O' dark early, went to the airport, got an upgrade to business so I could have a little more room and enjoyed two bloody marys. Only way to travel!!!!

My sister picked me up at the Marta stop and we went shopping and out for lunch. We ate at Carrabbas. The bread is just wonderful. The pasta dish we had was awesome, just cannot remember the name. It had mushrooms, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and lots of garlic with Angel Hair pasta. There was enough for three meals. Tastes better as leftovers.

So, we get to her house, and I started to feel really feverish, cold, my throat was hurting and I could feel a post nasil drip. I just went downhill after that. I took some cold medicine and tried to keep warm. I did cough that night, but woke up feeling better. We went out shopping to a few places and got some things for supper. We were both still feeling funky so we went home and ate supper and just relaxed after that. Today, we are still just laying around and I have been catching up on the Dis.

I leave tomorrow and go back to work on Wednesday. I am sure the smell from the new carpet has calmed down even more so I hopefull will not be getting any more headaches.

Denise The pictures of B_K and her dress were beautiful. She looks so very much like you. John looked so happy. I really like your hair.

Happy birthday to the most recent ones celebrating.

Kristine Have a good time in WDW

Elizabeth You crack me up with your packing issues
Of course when Stephanie and I go in December, I know I am taking two suitcases and my carry on. I just cannot see going with anything less. Too many things to take and we need room for things we will be bringing home.

A big Hi to everyone else.

Terry, feel better, and I'm sorry I didn't get to see you and your sister this trip. Please tell her that I said hello!

I just checked the weather for my trip home.

Possible snow then ice. Hope it changes, but it is not looking good right now.

Hi Denise,

I sure will. Hope to see you next time around. At first I was going to try to get to see you, but when you announced i think that B-K had the flu, that went out the window

We will try again.

Amy, love the pictures! Alyssa was so pretty all dressed up.

Kristine, have fun in Disney! You and Bill deserve a fun time.

Deb, the picture of Colby is too cute. I love the shirt.

Tammi, we haven't read those books, but Davis (my best reader) is just now bringing home chapter (real) books.

She and Rees both tested positive for the flu. I sure wouldn't want to expose either of you to that. Safe travels home, and I'll look for you next time!!!

We stayed at the Sheraton Vistana one time. It was pretty nice. Definitely a good choice. My dad considered the Seaworld one once, but we decided that it was too far away. The other two, I don't know much about. The reviews on Cypress Pointe were pretty good on the RCI site. Good luck with your choice! Are you going to rent a car? If not, definitely be sure to check your transportation options before deciding. The first time I stayed at some condos, the info we found had on transportation was not complete. It ended up costing a little more in both time and money than we were prepared for. I wish that I had called ahead to verify the info first.

i do believe its RCI--that sounds familiar haha

I believe we are going to be renting a car...im glad to hear you stayed at and liked one of the choices--now i just have to wait to see if my cousin can definitely go..if not, i may be making a solo trip

Colby's Valentine's Day shirt

How cute! He looks so much older.

I can't figure out the thumbnails thingy....

What a wild time we are having here.

So sorry!

Yeah, unfortunately that never happens! I leave later every day...

You should go in late then........

It's picture time!

How cute!!!! Loved them all! Matty looked much happier at home!

We are here!

Your Minnie flowers are really cute!

Oh...and I got a call that Christopher and Kirsten are sick!!! This has proved to be a small challenge

Hope they get better soon!

Who's kids have read the Pinderwicks? Nicholas brought it home from the reading center today and I could swear I've heard it mentioned on here.

I don't know that I mentioned it here but I told Lizzy's teacher I would buy some books for the classroom. She gave us a list and I bought the Penderwicks. I read it before I sent it in with Lizzy and I really enjoyed it. It about the speed I can handle these days. I don't know if Lizzy has read it or any of the other books I bought yet.

We are suppose to get more snow tonight, 1-3 inches. I am so tired of this

I'm so ready for spring!

Janet, first they were calling for 4-6 inches of snow for tomorrow. Now they are calling for a little snow, then sleet, more snow, before fisishing off with freezing rain.

Stay warm.

I am pulling my hair out trying to plan my ADR's for August.

TGM's best days are not out yet so I am making educated guesses. Also the fact that the P&PP's may or may not happen in August is messing up my plans. I do have one day set. Lunch with Bernadette & her family on 8/20 at CP. A friend of mine & her family will be there too so I have 2 meals planned with them (Chef mickeys & Boma). I am trying to put in some time for relaxation & pool time but I am too commando do do that!

I had to give up til I'm drug free.

I just checked the weather for my trip home.

Possible snow then ice. Hope it changes, but it is not looking good right now.

Stay safe!!! Hope you get better soon too!

[tinknme]

Thank goodness we do not have freezing rain in our forecast, yet! Sounds like a good day for you to stay indoors

Janet, first they were calling for 4-6 inches of snow for tomorrow. Now they are calling for a little snow, then sleet, more snow, before fisishing off with freezing rain.

 

[tinknme]

Thank you!

Good luck to Garrett!!! Hope he gets a good grade!

We are supposed to get snow tomorrow night.

 

[tinknme]

Hope you get it all figured out soon, I know it can get very frustrating

No it's not, I want to go

Kristine-hope you have a fantabolous rest of your trip.

Amy-the pictures are so precious...I loved Matthew's faux hawk!!

Deb-I knew you had ladies' men on your hands as soon as I met them...but DANG!!! Colby's smile is so sweet!!!

Terry-I am so sorry the carpet changing out lowered your defenses and you are sick visiting your sister. Hope you feel better quick!!

Elizabeth-I forgot to say this this weekend 32 PAIRS OF SHORTS???????? I don't think I have 32 pairs of pants/shorts/skirts all together!!

Denise-I am so glad to see you here more often. I have missed you!!

Paula-Cassidy was all gung ho for a pillowcase. Even if it doesn't work for the whole band (gotta go through the band director) I bet you'll have an order from us for the flutes. I am sorry your step daughter is being a pill. I will be praying for Mark tonight as he talks to her.

I am going to be an auntie again in real life. Yes my sisters boys call me Auntie. My sister swore she was done after 2 is pregnant and due in early September.

As far as weather it was 55 and sunny and in less than a half hour we lost 20 degrees and it started spitting snow. I personally don't want spring....that's when we get our worst snow storms!!!Bring on summer!!

I can call or e-mail. I programmed the number into my cell phone. The night we wanted to go they close at 8 PM, so I don't know what happens whent hey close at 5 PM.

I just checked the weather for my trip home.

Possible snow then ice. Hope it changes, but it is not looking good right now.

Stay safe and warm!

Karen - If she wants that name I would go with a more traditional spelling - Madalyn or Madeline. "Maddie" is an extremely popular name so that's something to keep in mind. I like Molly, Meredith, Margaret, Megan, Melissa. We had a Marissa in our play group years ago, and they named their 2nd DD Mariah (which I don't like). Mikayla used to be REALLY popular but I haven't heard that name recently. I once worked with a girl called Millie, which I think was short for Millicent. Mallory? Melinda? No shortage of "M" names!

 

[triplefigs]

Paula, you and Mark are in my prayers. Hang in there, and I pray tonight goes well with Cassie. And I'll want 3 pillowcases for their b'day in June, and possibly 3 for our Disney trip if you're up and sewing by then.
