Hi Monica!

Sorry to hear of all the trouble you've had this week!
I hope they get your computer all figured out soon! I'll be here
waiting for ya!

Your dream came true!!! Hmmmmmmm... very curious!

 

[Pakey]

Monica. Sounds like you could just to a trip report of your misadventures through the holiday weekend!!!

I will just eat some popcorn here and wait patiently. I'm looking forward to Soarin' with a dog.

Actually, Melissa was having trouble steadying the camera so the Photopass guy put my camera on his tripod shelf and he took it!

hey that is true, but at least i gave it a good try!

Hey! Aren't you in St Louis? What are you doing on here? Can't stay away huh?

Sorry to hear about all the problems you've been having - hope your computer comes back good as new! I was getting worried about you!

That is funny about Hunter not eating meat - it will be interesting to see how long that lasts.

Glad Megan is feeling better - no fun to be sick at Christmas (or any time!)

Your pampered chef stone exploded???? Yikes - did it happen in the oven? Was the casserole saved?

At least you'll get to DIS on the weekends at work!

Awe sorry you had a sick babe on Christmas! We used the North stop religiously what stop did you use? We always had 4 kiddos with us but Izzy was asleep sometimes in the sling carrier. We were so close darn it!

Thanks for worrying! Kimmy actually called to check on me last night. (Note to self: Change cell phone number.)

At least he doesn't know what all meat is! He ate a cheeseburger without hesitation and a hot dog! He's better off not eating that kind of meat!

Meggie's better. It's so helpful when they learn how to blow their nose!

I had taken it out of the oven and we heard an explosion! The sides had blown off in pieces and there was a huge crack in the bottom. Yes, we ate it anyway! I just told everyone to spit out any pieces of stone! Luckily it was just a couple of big pieces. Hey, I actually cooked Christmas breakfast. Someone was eating it!

Our door was literally at the end of the walkway to the west depot. Did you ever get lost? We did several times! Did you like it there? I could definitely feel a difference in room size from the All Star rooms.

Monica, I understand about computer problems. I will be here waiting patiently to hear all about your trip .

My kids circled That Macaw in the Toys R US toy book but I said "no Santa is not bringing that. All grandparents like to give the kids noisy toys to aggravate us . My mom and Inlaws always do that to me.

Well I hope Megan is feeling better and Hunter decides to eat meat, though sometimes I get grossed out by it too. Well all be waiting for your update whenver you get your computer fixed .

Hi everyone! I'M SO SORRY!!!! Didn't mean to leave you hanging. Megan started coughing Sat, was a little worse w/ fever on Sun, SUPER sick on Christmas Eve, lethargic during Christmas Eve pizza(weird tradition I know), REFUSED to open her Christmas Eve gift, Fever 102.8. Christmas morning woke up with high fever, drugged her up, 1/2 hr later as soon as she saw all of the presents she perked up! Popped breakfast casserole in the oven, took it out and my Pampered Chef stone EXPLODED!!!!! Then my mom spilled coffee on my carpet which is not coming out. Hunter announces at dinner that he is no longer eating meat because it's wrong to kill animals(remember that he is 6!!) So now I'm trying to push meat nicely, but educate myself on vegetarian meals cause he's not budging on this! Proud of his beliefs, but Oh My Goodness!!!! Then our 5 month old computer completely shut down! I've spent the last couple days in a total panic not knowing if my Disney pictures could be saved! Last night our computer guy found them and copied our hard drive and today the computers being sent off to HP. So, sorry but no installment until Jan 7th. It's written, but I won't have access to it until we get our computer back which could be 7 days. Then I'm having a big bday party for my mom next Sunday. Please don't dump me!!!! Well, at least now I'll have my Photopass pics to add to my report cause its on its way! Minus our pics in front of the RNR guitar because they couldn't find them. Sorry to complain so much!

Sorry to hear about this - I will still be here waiting for your update as soon as you are able

All right Tracy. Queen of computers! How did you make that great picture your link?! That is so cool!

Target had probably 50 of them right before Thanksgiving and they all started talking and I thought "I DO NOT WANT THAT THING IN MY HOUSE!!!" Oh well. He's kind of cute and you can program him to say anything!There's actually a warning in the directions about making him say nice things!

Yeah, meat tends to gross me out too. I'm better about handling it now than I was when I first got married, but it is very gross. I'd probably be a vegetarian too if I wasn't so anti vegetable!

Hi Charlene! Glad you're still here!

Ok, I guess I should talk about Disney a bit while we wait! I fogot to give you my tip if you stay at POR. There is a chest next to the armoir/TV stand that looks solid, but if you lift it up you can hide stuff under there.

My Photopass should be here any day now! I could be the spokesperson for Photopass! I am seriously impressed with it! I pre ordered the CD for $99 and split the cost with my mom. We stopped at a Photopass person as much as we could and they are great. They will take as many as you want with whoever you want. Some of them go the extra mile. One lady would get behind the character and take a pic of the kids faces as they walked up to the character. She was great. The pictures are wonderful and so worth the money to have all of us in the pictures! I only got a few pics of my mom last trip, none of all of us. (I'm not comfortable handing my camera to complete strangers! Well, except for Melissa and Kimmy!) At the characters they just click away and zoom in. I have the most precious picture ever of the kids looking up at Santa. And then you can add cool boarders. My tip is pick up the kids. If they are shorter and standing in front of you then you can't use some of the boarders because they cut out the kids. Well, that's this addition of "Monica loves Photopass" stay tuned next week for an actually interesting installment!

Can't wait to see your photopass pictures Monica! Sounds like you got a lot of great ones. We don't normally take advantage of photopass since our trips are ususally so short - but maybe I should since I usually take such crappy pictures!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Hurry up and get your computer fixed Monica!! I miss you!

We never did get lost but I am embarassed to admit we didn't wander very far. We would go to the pool, food court, the north stop and that was it. I really liked the size of our room much better then All Star. Even if I had the chance to stay in a family suite I think I would choose POR.

Can't wait for more!

Waiting...patiently... you know, cuz I've been so quick with my report, so I can criticize!


We loved Photopass too! Unfortunatley we didn't see them as often as I would have liked, but when we did see them, we put them to work! Didn't get quite as many as it sounds like you did, but after our borders it was about 300. Not too shabby!

Can't wait for more!

Hi Sara! Thanks for hanging in there with me! Photopass came in. Sure wish I could look at it!

Just giving you a little bump! Gotta keep you on the first page!

Miss you Monica!

Thanks Nicole! I was on page three!!!!

It might be Thurs before we get the comuter back, but the installments ready to go! Well, at least I'll still have 3 readers!

YOU have not been dumped!
You crack me up! I was so excited to see you here today. I'm hoping to have my computer fixed some time this week. It has to come soon, I'm soooo bored when I'm at home, I have resorted to cleaning the house

Hi Kimmy!!! Will you come clean my house too? My mom's party is tommorrow. Looking at about 50 people or so. I was making fudge and salami rolls until 11:00 last night. Maybe its a good thing I don't have my computer right now! Too tempted to dump my real work!
