I had no idea he loved it there so much! So, I emailed Miss Chanon yesterday and she has switched our reservation for September to the Poly. Bob's reply to my email telling him this was, "I wish we were leaving tomorrow." He has NEVER felt that way about a Disney vacation that I can remember!
Thanks, Chanon!
She also got some cute pink onesies with the cookies. I'll mail you some when someone in your household gets his temps and DL! on the Poly! I'm excited for you!
If you can't see - turn on your lights! 
I think it was a combo of both cabbage items. It was very good, but just had lingering effects.
Sounds wonderful Elin.I don't remember if I posted anything about a surprising conversation I had with Bob on Sunday. We were sitting on the couch watching the Food Network and he looked at me and said, "I am homesick for the Polynesian." He then started reminiscing about all the memories he had stored away from the 4-5 times we have stayed there in the past. His favorite vacation was in 1988 when we took both the girls and stayed on property for the first time and used the old Gold Key Plan (much like the Platinum Plan now, I think). That entire trip (no airfare, because we drove) cost us $3300 and at checkout we had a bill of $56 for incidentals.

Morning everyone!
Janet - You know I'm kidding!
Elin -
The fog was terrible coming into work today! I couldn't see two houses down my road - and there are still people who don't drive with their lights on.
She still has a cough, so that is what is causing it. I really don't want her to puke in my car. I guess I will keep her pool towel in reach so I can toss it over her.
I'm sure I had meant to reply to something, but do to a big distraction I can't for the life of me remember
I spoke to my Mother a bit ago and she mentioned that the older kids have noon dismissal today which I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. I see that it is on the yearly calendar, but I don't refer to that on a regular basis and nothing was sent home about it. I cannot be here when they get home as I have to bring Colby to school and pick him up plus I have some very urgent errands planned. I called Nick at school and he will have to handle things for the hour that I can't. He is actually pretty excited that we are trusting him with the responsibility. He'll keep me posted on my cell. So one crisis averted.
I actually got up this morning to bright blue skies and thought that just maybe I'd have a stress free productive day. Ugh I should know better.
for Nick handling things... I know he can do it!
Had a busy weekend here..didn't even have to time DIS!
We bought some new luggage for the cruise & Disney. I choose a red set so I can find it easily at the airport. Our old ones are black & so is everyone elses!
I cannot believe it's only been a year - seems much longer (I'm sure for them, especially!)This weekend was crazy. Work, errands for work, clothes shopping for Easter for my kids and the other 5 nieces and nephews, more work, a Mavericks basketball game, Sunday School and Church, baseball practice, soccer practice, dinner with the family, and getting ready for school, work and that darned audit this week.
The boys have their Stanford Achievement Testing this week, so I'm glad it's rained more last night/this morning and hopefully baseball and soccer will be cancelled. The thunderstorms that came through during the night did wake me up, and with the time change, it is making things seem a little off.
I'm glad Dallas ISD and SMU are both out this week. Maybe traffic will be a little more bearable.
Have a great day everyone!
You must be exhausted. 
Lindsay - How fun to stay at GF with your mom!
Thanks, Anne Marie. I FINALLY got in too. I wrote Disney an email earlier this morning. I cannot understand how a company that has made so many technical inroads into areas like Audioanimatronics and ride designs can have such a lousy website!
So I called the insurance office AGAIN and told my agent AGAIN that the billing is STILL screwed up, and that now they are saying instead of subtracting what we don't owe I am supposed to pay it and wait to be refunded.
for your DB.
DH just called to say we got a check from our Medical Expense Account. Which amazes me because we can never make heads or tails out of how much money is in there. The good thing is it ALMOST covers one of those camera lenses!
at this. I'm sure it wasn't quite so funny at the time, though. Well, let me add another chapter to the drama that is my life.
We are taking our youngest DD on a cruise in May to celebrate her college graduation. Our oldest DD was not able to go along as they are not in a financial situation that would allow for a vacation, but . . . . . ., SIL's employer takes his employees and their spouses on a cruise each year, come to find out they are booked on the same cruise that we are taking, the would be embarking the day that we would be debarking. Sooo, I let my youngest decide whether or not she wanted to switch dates, the only drawback is DD's MIL is also going, and let's just say she isn't our favorite person.
Anyway, we will be changing dates and going on the cruise with DD, SIL, and Brandon.
Of course it's going to cost more and we have to wait another week for vacation.
Nothing ever goes easy around here
)!

I am getting to the point where I can't do red sauce. We were talking about those spicy tacos before, and now I am having issues with spaghetti sauce. I can eat fresh tomatoes just fine, but red suce makes my stomach burn.
It is very foggy this morning. Princess has a haircut and swimming lessons so I hope it clears off before we have to go out.
I got an e-mail this morning from the eBay seller we hadn't heard from - he says the lens is on it's way. Hopefully both will arrive by Thursday or Friday so DH can play with them on Saturday when he is off.
This time change is just brutal. It was nice to drive home last night and not be in the dark, but getting up in the morning is kicking my butt.

.How strange that we both have fog like that! DH took my car to put gas in it this morning and he said it was pretty bad. And it WAS! It was bad driving in, then when I pulled on to Princess's street I had to slow to a crawl because I couldn't see anything!
Princess is making me nervous. She kind of gagged at breakfast and spit up on herself, and now she has that "look" about her like she may throw up.
It's a good thing I'm able to be home 99% of the time for them. Normally I would have had my Dad come down, but he had to testify in court today for a previous employer.
Where does your sister live??
I really need to hop in the shower and get to work, but I have no desire to do so. About an hour or so ago several sirens went flying by heading in the opposite direction of the homicide.
If Jonathan were to ever tell me he wished we were leaving tomorrow, I think I'd have to find a way to make a quick trip!
I told DH they were already crooked.
