DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[aspen37]

Had to share our view this evening before leaving the cottage.

The leaves are starting to change.

Kenny spotted the rainbow first.
I love the Fall and the leaves changing.

Hate what comes next.......







SNOW!!!!


There.......I said it.............

Oh how beautiful!
It has been snowing here on and off all day. The wind is blowing and snowing pretty good right now.

As you can see from this picture, not much chocolate, so it may not be a problem, between tonight and breakfast.

40 rolls of smartees and 10 boxes of raisins.

I have not had dinner yet and that candy it starting to look pretty good.

Good morning everyone! Just got home from the gym. Yucky, stinky, sweaty. But, I made it and it wasn't too bad.

We are going to put an offer on a house today. I'm excited, yet not. They think their house is worth way more than we do. It has two strikes against it: 2 car garage not three and the lot is the size of a postage stamp. But the house is beautiful. So, we shall see.

George, love the pictures. Looks like you're off to a good start.

Kat and John, BEAUTIFUL picture.

I hope it works out for you Nicole. Good Luck!

Well I am off to see about booking a birthday party at the movies for Kenny.
I had my car cleaned this morning.
Then a few errands, I will be back!

Hi Kat!

I knew I liked you for a reason...


And folks...I have a face to face interview on Thursday!!!! If I get this job, that means I don't have to eat counter service the whole time at DAP...and I can afford DATW!!!


Not that I would've let that stop me...I could bat my eyes at certain DIS-DH's to get a drink here and there...

Good Luck Brandie!

I got a job today. The one that I applied for last week and they filled right away - it didn't work out - so I got it.

I start tomorrow. It's not a long term job but happens every year. 8-9 weeks a year, decent pay, excellent hours, and most importantly doesn't interfere with my trip in December. In fact, it'll wrap up December 4th and I leave for WDW on the 6th.

I already did the and this along with my job judging sporting clay's 10 days a year will pay for my trip to Japan in a few years AND a trip to WDW every December.

Congrats!

Hopefully me!

I also have been interviewing. I had my first interview on Monday. 40 people interviewing for the position. Made the first cut and asked back for a second interview on Thursday. Now, it's down to 5 people. Still waiting to hear back, they have 2 more interviews to conduct. I got a call from the HR department a few minutes ago. They had a different (higher paying) position in another department become available and they thought of me. Would I be interested in interviewing for that position?

So fingers crossed, I get one of these positions!!!!

Good Luck Alicia!

We are taking my grandma out to dinner tonight. I agree with Brandie. We must have a truce until 9:30 or so.....

Have a great time with your grandma. I can't wait to see mine in December.

Mom took Molly to the vet today for a chronic problem she has. Nothing life threatening, but very annoying for Molly. Well, our regular vet wasn't there, another vet saw her. He found a tick on her, not sure where that came from, she needs to go back for a Lyme disease test. He also told Mom, Molly is morbidly obese. No more treats and just 1/2 cup of food a day. Molly is very spoiled. How could not spoil this face?

Anyway, Molly and I went for a nice long walk after work. We both need to lose some weight. The exercise will be good for both of us.

Wish us luck with the cut back in her diet.

Kim

Good Luck Kim and Molly! She is very cute Kim.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I start tomorrow and I'm pretty calm about it. I usually hate anything new or unexpected. I'm feeling confident with this - piece of cake...or pie.

This is so exciting -

You got the job you thought you missed out on.

Brandie got called for a second interview.

Alicia was asked if she was interested in a higher paying job.

Great day for DISers.

 

[tlcoke]

On-line check in really makes the vacation seem real.

We will be arriving on the 30th, will your vacation be done all ready?

I will just miss you, I leave on the 25th.

Did I hear someone has had snow today?

 

[tlcoke]

Hi all.

I just reserved my iPhone today. I'm going to the Apple store to pick it up tomorrow evening after work. Of course, there's the expense of the phone itself (!!!), but the monthly plan is actually less than what I'm paying right now for my Verizon phone. (I know - sounds like I'm rationalizing - and I am!)

Work's just been insane. Sorry I'm not here more often. I simply cannot WAIT for DAP!!!!!!

Congrats on your Iphone. I haven't posted this yet as I wanted to make sure I got my phone up and running without any glitches, but I joined the Collective last week. I traded my Sprint phone for the Iphone and went wireless only. No more home phone line.

Welcome to the iphone world Tracey.

Looks like in Colorado- n the mountains based on the location of Aspen's whereabouts. I have heard some areas in the mountains there have had snow in august before.

I will be happy if we don't get any snow this year. However if we do, it needs to be enough to close the University, which means at minimum a foot or more.

Have fun with the new toy Dodie!

Yeah mother nature is playing a cruel joke on us here in Aspen.

We have a slight difference of opinion in my house. I vote for no snow at all, the girls vote for snow only on weekends. We all vote for no snow days for school cause then we get out May 27 and will start our Disney vacation then. If not, we have to wait until after June 13th.

Welcome to the iphone world Tracey.

Thanks Anne. I fell in love with my Ipod Touch, so the next logical step was the Iphone. The only thing I don't like is my signal at work. It is pitiful. I can get 3 bars as long as I don't move my phone from this one spot in my office. Otherwise, there is no signal any where else in my entire work area. I don't know why that one spot get a signal and no where else does.

 

[AnneR]

So sorry for the cruel joke nature is playing Anna.

I won't go into great detail about the mild but sunny day we had here in Maryland.

We had snow on the 4th of July back in 1995. I guess this is the price we pay for living at 8,000 feet. The summers are beautiful but can be short.
How's the weather in Louisville, Tracey?

I understand your philosophy too. I would prefer no snow over a little bit of show, because It takes a least a foot of snow or a good layer of ice to shut us down. Usually, the best we can hope for on snow days is a delayed opening.

Unfortunately, schools around here freak when it snows and it doesn't take much to shut down school. Then we we get socked with a major storm, we are totally paralyzed. We have cut back so much at the schools that they don't have the personnel to clean the sidewalks.

Fall is starting to arrive, I have a feeling I will miss the trees changing colors while I am gone on my trip. We were in the 60's today with a low of 48 this morning.

Congrats Lorie and Good Luck Brandie and Alicia. What good news I missed today during the grocery shopping extravaganza. I hate grocery shopping and do 2-3 weeks worth at a time to get it out of the way. So that was my boring day.

I hate grocery shopping but have never figured out how to do it every 2-3 weeks. I shop weekly and do a once a month trip to Sam's for bulk items.

I love grocery shopping! I go at least twice a week. I keep up with the sales, get fresh produce, and know the clerks in the store.

Anyway, Molly and I went for a nice long walk after work. We both need to lose some weight. The exercise will be good for both of us.

Kim

My pups got the short end of the stick this summer. We didn't exercise as much after PCC 1.0. All four of us show the signs of lack of exercise, even a simple walk around the block.

Hi all.
Work's just been insane. Sorry I'm not here more often. I simply cannot WAIT for DAP!!!!!!

Hiya! I can't wait until DAP either. Or get my iPhone.

I feel like a kid about DAP. Thinking about making a count down calendar just for me.

Good idea. I think it is time to do the daily count down. Everyone should be as excited as we are!!!!!

Did I hear someone has had snow today?

Yes, poor Anna in Aspen. She has some spectacular views....but the weather is a little off for my taste.

I think the schools are too scared of a lawsuit, that the word SNOW, just sends them into panic mode. We have had schools close here just at the mention of snow in the forecast, not to mention the run on the local grocery for Milk & Bread. 30 years ago, the school system here in town was more than likely to have school than be closed due to snow. Now they close at the mention of snow.

Unfortunately, I work at the University and they don't believe in snow days, unless campus is crippled by the storm.

Sounds like a nice day.

It takes about 2 feet of snow to close the schools down around here. They only close if the busses can't get to the kids homes to pick-up and drop off.

Fall is starting to arrive, I have a feeling I will miss the trees changing colors while I am gone on my trip. We were in the 60's today with a low of 48 this morning.

I would rather be at WDW then watch the trees change color.

 

[AnneR]

Welcome Todd.

How was dinner?

Around here the stores get runs on milk, bread and toilet paper
