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

[DVCsince02]

My BFF's partner works at the Hershey hotel...but we were offered a room at their place, not the hotel. :durn:

But sounds like a plan to me. When is the best time to go? Obviously when school is out for the kiddos...

We've stayed at the Hershey Lodge before. Chris is wanting to golf there.

Good Morning Everyone: I know I posted this yesterday, but I wanted to repost it in case anyone missed it.

Greetings Everyone: I know we have had some people that aren't able to participate in our GKTW Voluntourist Group. Believe me, I understand. There's so much going on that weekend. However, here's another way people could help out. GKTW has a wish list of items they need for their families. I cut this from their recent news letter. If people want to bring an item from the wish list, I will take them all over from the DIS Unplugged on Saturday morning. You can drop wish list items off at the seminar on Friday, and I'll take them over on Saturday. Here's the list:

We'd be up for a Hershey meet. We are about 3 hours away, but, we've been there before and the drive is no problem. The summer time would be great.

The GKTW List is noted on my shopping list for later in the week.

The University official Holiday is December 25 - January 1 (unless either of these fall on Saturday or Sunday, then it would include Friday or Monday accordingly). This applies to 95% of the university but there are those positions that are considered "necessary" and they work 365 days a year and they are to be given equal Comp Time for the Holidays they work in addition to being paid a differential as Holiday Pay. Luckily my position does not fall into this category, though we have had to come in a do some printing over a holiday before, that was time sensitive.

It works great unless your are salaried. Then you work harder with no payback. They say we can take another day off as comp, but I don't use all my vacation time anyway.

Well truthfully, we never close so it is possible to need to work holidays but I have paid my dues. I do work some of the other holidays and this year, I will be "on" for the holiday season, meaning I could get called for major issues, etc.

I do refuse to work Thanksgiving day and Christmas day. If we host a holiday at our house I always take the day before and after off as well.

We have been wanting to go to Hershey. We would definitely make the drive.

Morning everyone!

Lots of pages to catch up on

It's been a busy weekend. Playing nurse to a husband who had knee surgery but refused to be laid up all weekend the way he was supposed to be. He took the bandages off this morning, and is surprised by how much it bled and how swollen it still is. Well, DUH! Just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean you can keep walking on it! Sheesh!

Meanwhile, I got to haul the boys around for hockey, haircuts, and get ready for a birthday party. We had DS7's party at Chuck E Cheese last night, his bday is on Wednesday, - I realized about 4:00 on Saturday I had no cake ordered - oops.

I have lots of computer work to catch up on today, then bake pumpkin bread before a busy afternoon and evening with the boys.

Oh, and btw, all this Hershey Park talk is making me remember my 7th grade class trip, and being late for the bus back to school because the group I was with was getting splatter-paint hats done. I'm hoping to have the boys in Philly Father's Day weekend (DH may come too ) to go to the Twins-Phillies game. Just sayin'

Good morning everyone!
Well I will be in and out all day!
I have to start putting things in the suitcase, as they are cleaned and folded.
According to my packing list 121 items need to be packed!
Good thing I have a list, I would never remember that many things.
The important things are already packed.
DAP badges, passports, and bank cards & CC.
So anything else I forget we can buy down there.

Sorry to hear this Don, I know how painful that can be.
Here's hoping you are 100% real soon again!

HAPPY MONDAY! It's birthday day here- Lindsay's 12 and Patrick's 10. Last year we took them to Disneyland. This year it's a bit more, um, quiet. We're going to the movies and then out to dinner when DH gets home. Here's a pic of them w/ their bday buttons in line for the Matterhorn:

Just have to share- I got a new baby today! A 6wk old black lab/chow mix from the animal rescue.

He came w/same name as my son- Chase. Any name ideas?

How cute is he. Name him Mickey. he he he or Bingo since he was lucky to be adopted.

Good morning everyone. I had a productive weekend and 75% of the boxes are out of my garage I have busted it out my friends.

DAP is very close and for me I get to see my sister in 2 short weeks from today. I am so excited my son misses her so much.

The hershey hotel brings back so many memories from trips there for girlscouts. Have fun up there peeps. You will love it.

I start this P90X today with my husband wish me luck. My large butt needs to get in gear now that I am not livng out of my car 4 days a week and eating crap food. So time to get busy on the diet and exercise.

Happy holiday week. I can not wait to have our new friends over for Thanksgivng. One is a vegan so this should be interesting.

Good Monday morning!

Busy weekend for me, so lots to catch up on the thread this morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend and we are now that much closer to DAP!

 

[georgemoe]

Maybe a Thanksgiving themed name since you got him Thanksgiving week??

If you stick with a Thanksgiving theme how about Drumstick or Wishbone. Cute pup!

Phillip is teaching our German Shepherd Greta to "attack" using the word "Twilight." After just this weekend, he has her rushing to him and grabbing his hand whenever he says it.

Good morning everyone. It started snowing here last night. I think it is suppose to stop and clear up tonight.


Don, sorry about your back. Take it easy and get better.

Katherine, happy packing today. Only a few more days and then you'll be off to WDW!

Dave, I have a list of items for GKTW that I will drop off at the seminar. Thanks for doing this.

 

[spaddy]

So we are planning a summer time meet at Hershey. I love Hershey!

Good Morning DAP Friends!!!!

10½ work days until DAP!!!!


Whoaaaa DAP!!!!

Only 4 more days of work for me.

Oh and Facebook is acting wonky for me and won't let me see 'older events'. So I am not up to date with everyone's non-DIS activities.

It was acting like that for me too. I am sure I missed some stuff.
