Yay Monica - you are back! And wham, bam - an update!

Love the parade pics. We didn't see the parade this year but last year it was my favorite thing. Love those toy soldiers too. The picture of Megan smiling with her Santa hat is priceless.

Sounds like you had a great evening with Kimmy and Missa - how nice of Dave to take the stroller, bag and Megan.

Looks like you came prepared with a change of clothes - I noticed you are no longer wearing the turtle neck after getting soaked on Splash Mountain - you are so prepared!

Great job! Nice to have you back!

Hey guys!!! Well, computer came back on Tuesday night. They had completely wiped out my hard drive. Wed, Dave tried to reinstall internet and it didn't work. Thursday morning the computer crashed again. They hadn't fixed it!!! So, it's going back out today! They don't even make a smilie that describes my thoughts about HP right now! So just for you guys I typed my report for the 3rd time!!! Luckily I had already uploaded my pics for this day. So this is it for another week or so. Thank you for hanging in there!

Great! Now I have to sit here until Thursday with my mouth on the floor!

BTW... I did take notes and I'm still having a hard time remembering!

Thanks for being so patient. Wait no more! Well, read this installment. Then wait!

My Ohio Homie!! Glad you're back. I missed you.

Miss you guys too!

Just two more days! I found your trip report and now I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for you to get your computer back! Waiting for the rest of the story...

WELCOME!!! I hope to be back on track in a week or so!

sorry your puter went broke. I really can't wait to read more and see all your pics. I wish i would have used more of the photopass people, they do do a great job, I bought a few pictures but didn't have enough pics in my opinion to justify buying the CD.
Hope everyone there is doing better. no sick kiddies!
Did pampered chef replace your dish? I had one for 3 years and it broke in the oven, they replaced it at no cost to me.

No replacement, but they're on sale this month for $20. Just not a priority right now! I have the square stone still.

I cannot wait to hear your next installment. If I am not mistaken, you are getting back your computer today.. yeah!!! Happy New Year!

Glad you're still here. Happy New Year!

Well I hope the UPS/Fedex man gets there soon with that laptop. I am having some serious Monica withdrawls!

Monica withdrawals! Love it!

MOnica - we miss you can't wait to hear more about your trip

Miss ya!

Argh! Everytime this pops in my usercp....I think, "WooHoo! Monica has continued her TR!" And then, what a downer when it's still just all of us posting about her cliff hangers. Kimmy---are you a weirdo?

Woo Hoo! Monica FINALLY posted a trip report! And you guys better appreciate it cause I literally typed it 3 times!!! Our documents didn't save for some reason so I lost everything that I had on word.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

So sorry to hear about your continued computer issues - I can sense the frustration in your writing! Grrr!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

GOOD HEAVENS!!! That is such a mess
I would be beyond stressed. Thanks for the update, and checkin in, you really are quite missed around here.

I'm glad to know I am not a weirdo!
Here's a few pics, I will send them to you bigger, when I get my puter back.

this really should be bigger, but I resized it after my puter was gone, sorry.

(the result of the SPLASH!)

Love this pic!!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Great pics Kimmy - thanks for sharing! The one of Monica and Hunter is great!

Kimmy - you and Missa look so tall in that picture in front of the castle! Are you really that tall?

 

[KariC]

oh, monica that's so awful. We actually had to drive our computer last year (2006) to Columbus. They thought they would have to send our hard drive to their "clean lab".....don't want to know that estimate....to recover our pictures. Yes, I had not been backing up 3 years worth of our pictures!!! They were able to do it there in columbs, they recovered everything!!! I didn't care about the docs or anything, compared to the pictures! We had an eMachine that had started "eating itself", my words, not the techie's. Basically segments were going bad on the hard drive. If you need to know the company, pm me.

have a good day at work!

Keep your chin up - we'll be here waiting!

Loved the installment! It's so funny what a difference just walking around with your 6 year old and no stroller, no bag, no baby (not that you don't want her there, but you know what I mean). It's like losing 50 lbs!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Great pics Kimmy - thanks for sharing! The one of Monica and Hunter is great!

Kimmy - you and Missa look so tall in that picture in front of the castle! Are you really that tall?

We are! I'm 6'0 and Missa is 5'10"

 

[mkluvsmickey]

We are! I'm 6'0 and Missa is 5'10"

Wow! That is cool that you are both so close in height.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

It is so nice to read positive reviews of the party after all the negativity on the theme parks board. You all look like you had so much fun.

 

[Poohtigeey]

Hello! No warning, no I'm back, no "hi guys"
I have not even read yet, so YOU know I will be back with more.

Sorry! I didn't want to save my report on the work computer and I was afraid I'd lose it if I didn't post quick. (My luck lately!)

So sorry to hear about your continued computer issues - I can sense the frustration in your writing! Grrr!

I hope my reports not grumpy! It's just so frustrating and the LACK of customer service this time was UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Love this pic!!

Um, I never said you were not a weirdo. Did any of you read that? I was going to mention the pics. Missa was our photographer so I didn't get many. They are so cute. Copies please! How's your computer?

I know! I'm just thankful that we had the sense to back up our pics before we sent it off! Disney pics are safe and sound on a disk. And Photopass pics are on a disk waiting for a computer to be loaded onto!

Great pics Kimmy - thanks for sharing! The one of Monica and Hunter is great!

Kimmy - you and Missa look so tall in that picture in front of the castle! Are you really that tall?

No, I'm just really short! I'm 5'4 1/2"!

Keep your chin up - we'll be here waiting!

Yeah, it was nice to run around free for a bit!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

I hope my reports not grumpy! It's just so frustrating and the LACK of customer service this time was UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Your report is not grumpy at all - far from it! Just the second post where you describe your computer problems - understandibly frustrating!!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

sorry, I stand corrected!
My computer is off at the Computer Dr. as we speak. I'm a little nervous about it, I just hope whatever it is, they can get my 10,000+ pics out (no, none backed up except this past trip).
I will just buy a new one if it costs too much to fix, but I want my stuff!
BTW the warranty conviently expired in May of 07.

 

[missamouse]

OK SO ENOUGH OF THIS IS KIMMY A WEIRDO OR IS SHE NOT A WEIRDO.......She IS a weirdo!!!!!

sorry kimmy had to tell the truth!

 

[Poohtigeey]

It is so nice to read positive reviews of the party after all the negativity on the theme parks board. You all look like you had so much fun.

Thank you. Those negative posts had me so worried. People need to realize that they are never going to be alone at Disney so they need to plan accordingly. I talked to a girl who was at the sold out party on dec 11th and she said it wasn't that bad and they were still walking onto rides. I don't understand the negativity about this party. We loved it!

I have a love/hate relationship with computers. However, I don't trust them so we back up our pictures frequently!

I have work to do, but I can't seem to tear myself away from you all!

sorry kimmy had to tell the truth!

Yeah, but so is her friend Melissa!

 

[scottny]

great update and pics. the party sounds like so much fun.

Bummer about the computer, guess I will read when I return. Glad u were able to put up this update it was great.

 

[Poohtigeey]

Ok, I'm already forgetting stuff! At some point we rode Buzz Lightyear and I scored approximately 500. Oh, Monica you mean 50,000. No, I mean 500. I'm not very good at shooting. (That's probably a good quality!)

Hey Melissa and Kimmy! If I left anything else out just jump in! Otherwise I'll try to do better at recalling events for the rest of the trip!

Bye Bye! I'm off work and I'm gonna scrapbook tonight! No, not Disney. I'm still working on summer '06!

haha! I didn't even remember that you left out Buzz. My memory is so bad. My updates are lacking MAJOR detail, no one seems to care very much, so that is a good thing.
