Wow. Will you talk to Phillip about that for me?

Morning, Dodie! How is Greta doing?

 

[Dodie]

Morning, Dodie! How is Greta doing?

No better, but not worse either. We're still waiting for some test results that should come in today or tomorrow. Thanks for asking, Todd.

(For those of you not on Facebook, Greta is my dog who is pretty sick right now. We're trying to find out what's wrong with her.)

Good morning everyone!!!

It's been a really loooong weekend for me...workin and everything else. I also see that it's been a looong weekend here!! I went to go do some back reading and I had like 15 pages....needless to say that I didn't do it...waaay too tired!! I just got off of work at 3 this morning and had to be work at my other job at 8...uuggghhh!!! So....can someone give me the jist of what happen over the weekend?

Anywayas, I went to my cousin's bridal shower on Sat and found out that my one cousin is a fashion designer!!! She has her own line and everything!! Would I get into trouble if I post a link on here in this group?!? I'm sooo proud of her that I just want to tell everyone!!!

Thanks!!

Terrie - that's a lot of hours at work! I don't think you missed any "happenings" over the weekend, other than the usual banter.

I wouldn't mind if you posted a link to your cousin's web site.

So - did you book your WDW resort for DAP?

Unfortunately, I didn't because the tips sucked!! Between spending money for gas and getting my cosuin a bridal shower gift and a lil bit of groceries, I couldn't. It would be nice if I could do it this paycheck...but we'll see.

I'm starting to get depressed about this!!! It seems like everything is getting in the way of me doin this!! UUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!! Sorry......

I'm sure I'll figure something out....thanks for askin Nancy!! I really wanna go...especially since I have you basically "kickin" my butt about ressing!! LOL!! If I had a regular c.c. I would've done it by now. But, I'm one of those Americans without a CC....AHHHH!! the HORROR!!!! LOL!!!!

Here's my cousin's website:

Food is not a reasonable excuse!!!!!!!!!

Dodie I was hoping there would be better news. Still praying for Greta to be better soon.

Hi Kathy!! Thanks, it's good to be back.

How are you? The last time I was around there was talk of you going to the INDY meet....are you?

I am...BUSY!!!! Work is insane right about now.

I am not going to make the Indy Meet. Aside from work, I am in the middle of buying a place. I just can swing it.

I'll see you in December for certain!

 

[TXYankee]

Happy Monday!

 

[baby1disney]

I'm sooooo sleepy.........

I need sleep!!!

I'll tell you one thing: GERMANS CAN DRINK THEIR BUTTS OFF!!!!! HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!! I have NEVER seen a group of people that drink that much, function all night, and not argue with anyone or get upset over anything?!?!? I didn't think that was possible!!! Although they did invite me to the German American fest in two weeks...I might go because that'll be my bday around that time!!! I'm sooo glad it's over!!! LMAO!!!

People who pay with cash generally spend less than people who pay with credit - so think of all the money you have been saving due to lack of a credit card!

While I have been "kickin' your butt" about reserving the hotel room - I don't want to encourage you to do this if it's going to put a major crimp in your budget. The $67 one-night room deposit is one of the least expensive parts of the DAP weekend. You also need to budget for airfare, theme park tickets, the remaining hotel night(s), and meals.

You're not going to like this suggestion - but if it were me and money was particularly tight right now - I would skip DAP and save my vacation money for a future trip.

It's not that money is tight right now...it's just sooo many others things get in the way!! But...maybe as a bday present to myself...I'll book it!!! I just wish I had a rich aunt/uncle..ya know?!?!

Would your fashion designer cousin like to go with you?

 

[TXYankee]

All this talk of money made me think that I better work on a budget.

Now I am going solo but I should have a friend or roomie by Dec. I have booked 5 nights at the POp with free dining. Please look at my budget and see if I am in the ballpark or missed something big? I may cut some things out. I figure I will include everything, then pick and chose!

Expense Calculations Cost

POP 5 nights-free dining ($626 / 2 people) = $313
Park Ticket - 5 day (upgrade 1 day) ($228-$79)= $149
Airline ticket = $178
Airport Parking ($10 x 6 days) = $60
MVMCP = $60
DATW (5 drinks@ $10 ) = $50
HOB Gospel Brunch = $40
Tips (food & service) (6 days X $10) = $60
Adult Beverages (2 per day =8 @$10) = $80
Taxi (From POR / after DAP) (2 trips x $10) = $20
Misc Purchases = $50

TOTAL $1,060

It looks like you covered everything!

Would your fashion designer cousin like to go with you?

LOL!! She even lives in Tampa!!! But,she just graduated from college and I think she's extremely busy!! I think she's working on getting her designs patented(sp?)

I don't know if it's feesable, but could you get a family member or a friend to take you to the airport?? That would save you some extra dough!!!

That is the "fat" budget. I will try to slim it down but I wanted to be ready just in case. I may be able to get DH to take me to the airport. I could cut out the Adult beverages and spending money, Share taxis if someone is available the same time I want to go, skip MVMCP and Gospel Brunch. Not Drink at DATW, and I could save $350, bringing the cost to $710. That would be the lowest possible cost. But I know me...when I am in WDW I end up doing all the things I want to do....therefore I better plan on the $1060.

Anyone want to sponsor me?

Oh, my! I really would like to go, but...
My airfare is over $300. I live 75 miles from airport, no one will drive me there. Parking is $12 / day. Etc.

Plus it is really at the wrong time work-wise.

I think I will save up my money for a wowza of a trip December 2010.
Can we do Toy Story Midway Mania them too? Pleeeaassseee...

 

[baby1disney]

It just all depends you know!! I had a friend one year decide at the very last minute that he wanted to go to Disney for a week. He literally made ressie the night before. I don't know how he did this, but his whole trip only costed him about $800!! With airfare, food, hotel, etc!! He said that he booked ASMo..his fav..but they were way overbooked and he got to stay at either OKW or GF...can't really remember which one. At first he thought he would just get a studio..since it's only him. But, then he got a one bedroom!!!

I told him that he needs to send a whole lot of Pixie Dust over this way!!!!. Oh and one more thing, that price included his 8 day park hopper as well!!!

That's it...I'm going to take Todd's advice and stop buying groceries...just long enough to book my room!!! ROTFL!!!!:roftl2:
