DDA Chapter 8

[Glynis]

Glynis-you are going to all my favorite spots!! I wanna come!! Enjoy your time and please, take it easy!!

Thanks. I wish you could come with me!!!

I'm planning on taking it easy. My cousin is chauffeuring is around most of the time, so it should be pretty relaxing. When she can't be with us, her 22 year old son will guide us.

 

[Glynis]

Glynis - your last post was a couple of hours ago, so I am hoping that means you are hard at work!

Yup! I ran some errands, got my haircut and my eyebrows waxed, shopped for some t shirts for Katie, and some new capris for me. Also picked up some protein bars, and other snacks to take on the plane. Got to have my peanut butter crackers!!!

Now, I'm home doing laundry, and sorting clothes into the pack/don't pack piles. When the kids get home from school, we'll head to my sister's house so she can alter some pants for me and for Katie, put movies on my ipod, and run a few more errands. Slowly, but surely, I'm checking things off my list!

I agree!

It's a good thing that we are going to my parents house for the last 2 weeks of June. I'll be able to recuperate from my vacation!!!

How are you feeling?

I'm ok. Just trying to take it one day at a time..

 

[Glynis]

so I lost motor control of my left hand briefly last night...
I have an appointment for later this afternoon. The trauma nurse told me there wasn't much they could do that I wasn't already doing if it was just a sprain...I just want to make sure that's all it is. Typing one handed is oh so much fun!!

Yikes! I hope everything is ok!

 

[Glynis]

Yes but you are arriving late at night and going full tilt the next day. What about jet leg and the time difference?

That's the plan. We need to go full tilt the next day in order to adjust to the time difference. It's going to be rough, but we'll manage. We'll also try to start the adjusting on the plane, we'll see how it goes. Wish us luck!

I think you are doing really well! Just keep swimming!!!

I have paid for the kids OOP & used the adult meal credits for Dana & I. Some waiters are fine with it & give you 2 bills, some make a huff about it. Just let them know when you order how you are paying.

Thanks. I figured it would be doable.

 

[KristineN]

nope...guess I better add that to the list

Does he have his bonine and ginger tablets packed?

I think because the 1st one was so pleasant, we were under the assumption that they would all be that way

I am in agreement with you on this, Kristine. We probably won't spend the money to do any of the parties for a very long time. It is just not worth it to us anymore. Now, if there are ever any little kids with us on a trip in the future... all bets are off!

no one worries as much as him...

I'm afraid I'd be just like Bill. I worry about things like that!

I hope your appt. goes well and your hand is better ASAP.

Looking at our dining options for December - we may have to pay for a meal OOP. Has anyone ever used the DDP for their meal but paid OOP for the kids? Or vice versa? Denise, I think maybe you have done this, if I remember correctly.

Yes -- we've done that quite a bit. We've also had some servers be happy to do it, and others with attitude.

Okay -- back to work.

Glynis,
Your trip sounds wonderful. Haven't been to London since 1994 & I would love to take the kids so see it. We do pretty bad with jet lag..takes us a day to get adjusted. It is wonderful you will have this time with Katie.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Hope it works out for ya both.

Found a question on the cb that I thought I'd ask here.

If you only had one food in each category to eat for the rest of your life what would they be?

fruit - banana
veggie - lima beans
meat - turkey
treat - vanilla ice cream

I am not sure I will ever do another xmas party...of all of the different parties I have gone to, I found these to be WAY too crowded. I was amazed that they all seemed to sell out last year. The first year we went, it was so pleasant and uncrowded

We weren't blown away by P&PP or MVMCP last year. Luckily there are no parties this time so it's not a choice I'll have to make!

Wow Glynis, what an amazing itinerary! You and Katie are going to have the trip-of-a-lifetime!

I agree! And do you know how to make it even better? Bring more than one bag!!

cross your fingers that Bill will like it...he's the one that is worried about it. the whole Poseidon Adventure thing

DH doesn't want to go on a cruise because they weld the ships together down the center. He is convinced the ship is going to split apart. And apparently when it happens it will be a complete and spontaneous event, like hacking an apple in half with a machete. So there you have it.

Theresa - sounds like there is some nerve damage or something from that fall you took! I hope it will be OK!

On our very first trip with DDP we ran out of credits and had to pay cash for DS the last night. That was back in the day when they were very NICE about things like that. I am sure they can still do it, but they might not be nice about it.

So my tooth is fixed (for now). It took an hour & 45 minutes. I took some shoes back to Nordstrom because I decided I want something sporty instead of dressy. I didn't buy any sporty ones yet, though. Took some shorts back for DS. Stopped in the Disney Store where things are still only 20% off! What is up with that? Returned the percussion kit to the music store.

Bernadette - I put Emma's hat in the mail - it should be there around Saturday.

Now I think I need a nap.

I so won't be having Bill read this little commentary
