"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 5!

Have a great week, Ill post all about it when we get home (or to the Mickey D's with free wireless...no way am I paying $15/day, not that you guys aren't worth it..lol)

We're off!:thumbsup2
HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to hear all about it! (or read? will there be a trip report? LOL)

Did you check on the military hotel on disney property Shades of Green to see if they offered you any good deals too?

Actually they are more expensive for us. They are based off rank and unfortunatly E's to high up for us to get a good rate LOL. Only bonus is they have kitchenetts but i prefer not to cook while on vacation (not that I do much of it at home either but still LOL)
 
Reading everyones posts about their upcoming vacations made me even more depressed!:sad2: So.................I went ahead and booked a surprise 5 day trip to Vegas for DH's 30th birthday! It's not until the end of September, but it gives me something to look forward to.........besides the baby of course ;)
Let me be more specific: It gives me something to look forward to where alcohol and skinny jeans can be involved! :rotfl:
 
Hey guys..just a quick note on the fly while we have free wireless...

Off to Epcot this AM after checking in at CSR! Le Cellier for lunch...yummmm

Well, it's wishful thinking of course!:wizard:
Your talk of training for a 5k kind of inspired me and I plan on starting a jogging regimen after the baby. I have been working out a couple times a week for the last couple of months, but I am going to get my butt in gear from now on. I just find out that my 10 year H.S. reunion is exactly 2 months after the baby comes :scared1:

On another note, did I mention that in our attempt to "go green", we have decided to cloth diaper this baby?! It is soooo much different than it was back in the day. No pins or plastic pants needed! ;)

Wow. Good luck with that Arin. I did that with my oldest ... for a while. It's really too funny to look back and see that big old diaper between his legs!! LOL!! We used them at home, but took disposable with us when we were out. We also used them at night because the cloth didn't hold enough.

I hope you like using the cloth. They are really good benefits to using them.




Ok .... So I've posted a few times on the thread for my next cruise. I'm getting ignored! :confused: Am I that obnoxious?! :mad:

I guess I'm just used to this thread.
 
Yep Shell you are just obnoxious. :rotfl:

I only post on the two the three cruise threads. since we are not sure if we are going or not on the one cruise.
still keeping my fingers crossed for Hawaii.. Anyone ever been to Waikiki?

We are looking into a long weekend in Sept/Oct and take advantage of the 40% at a value resort. ( hopefully there will be a MNSSHP during that time).anyone going during this time??

:sad2: That's what I figured. Oh well .... :cool2:


I asked on the other thread who to send the info to in order to get us on the list of shipmates and into the FE thing, but no one will respond. Weird.

No. My niece and nephew have been and want to take their 14 month old (she'll be almost 2 then) to Hawaii. The baby is VERY active and there's no way that I'd like to be on a plane that long with her!!! LOL!! They wanted my mom to do that instead of DCL. My mom said NO WAY. LOL!!

I hope you get to go if that's what you really want to do.


It will depend on what dates they offer it this year. I refuse to go the night before the cruise because I don't want to be run down before I ever get on the ship? KWIM?!

I hope you get to take advantage of that discount!!!

Thanks. I can't believe how much cloth diapers have changed since when my mom used them. There are some that are pretty much just like disposables, except they won't be sitting in a land fill for 500 years :goodvibes . No rinsing in the toilet or any of that gross stuff. We are stocking up on some "green" diapers as well (biodegradable diapers).
 
Last years MNSSHP was awesome, there was no one there!! :) We have gone twice now the night before our cruise and both times it has worked out great. The only downside was it was too hot to wear costumes.

I dont look forward to the plane ride either, but Dh flies overseas all the time and he says it isnt so bad. We will just take some movies for the kids to watch on the laptop and the ds lites have been awesome for our long car trips! :)

I will have to look online to see the new cloth diapers! sound very interesting!

Skinny jeans - way to go girl!!! I just recently booked (yesterday) a mini-Vegas vacation for early March. Yup - only 1-1/2 weeks for planning! :scared1: We fly out on a Wednesday, have a tour bus booked to the Grand Canyon for Thursday, will hang out in Vegas on Friday and fly home Saturday afternoon.

Okay - I'm really old school and can't even imagine a cloth diaper without pins and plastic pants??? Explain please. :)

Arin... those diapers are really cool, a lot better than the old fashioned ones with cloth and safety pins!

when I was on the cruise thread we were to be on before we canked the cruise to do WDW, thats how mine was. I still lurk on it, and they are only on like page 6.... these people have been on for a yr since the start and they barely talk. Kind of glad im not on it now. YET NO ONE will take the place of my Double Dip crew!

so they are basically like disposables with cute wrappers LOL. I could never do the ol school cloth ones.. I would be gagging cleaning them. I gagged as it was changing the boys with disposables LOL. Good for you though!

Ah, but that's the thing ... they are on page 28 and talk to others that join. Not one response to me or the questions I asked. :rolleyes: Just weird. How could I offend them that quickly!?? :confused3 LOL!

I think we're more excited about this cruise than the first one, even. Since we know what to expect, we're better prepared to plan.

Really I would of thought it would of been cheaper then Disney...good to know...Hope you have a great vacation....
 
Wednesday night, we unexpectedly lost the man I've called my Dad for the past 19 years. He nearly became my DFIL, which is how I met him. The parents of my boyfriend in college and I just never lost touch with one another. We loved eachother so much. Dad just always took me under his wing. His son is also amazing, and we've kept in touch over the many years as well. Even though I've lost all my great grandparents and all but one grandparent (who many of you met on the cruise), this is the closest person that I've lost. It's been very difficult. There's just never been anyone like him that I've known nor do I think he can ever be duplicated. Such a gentle, loving soul. :angel:

Finally getting back here and caught up. So sorry to hear about the loss Kimberly.

I also agree, you should do a trip report. :)
 
I'm so embarrassed to ask this, but Beachbratt, were you one of the families who came to Grill's the night before the cruise? There was one family I met who was pretty new to our DIS family that for the life of me I cannot remember!! There were families of Drea, Ken, Tonya, Brandie, me, and someone else. I want to record on my Trip Report outline (for whenever I get around to writing this piece of work!). If it wasn't you, can anyone else help embarrass me? :blush: I was wearing a Buckeye T-shirt and this family pulled me over to their table to give me a very warm hello!

Finally getting back here and caught up. So sorry to hear about the loss Kimberly.

Thanks sweetie! I really appreciate that. I absolutely want to write this report. I just need to dump some of my other obsessions like Facebook, Fashion Wars, scrapbooking, yadda yadda and transfer that energy to this report!

….Ok .... So I've posted a few times on the thread for my next cruise. I'm getting ignored! :confused: Am I that obnoxious?! :mad: I guess I'm just used to this thread…..
….I asked on the other thread who to send the info to in order to get us on the list of shipmates and into the FE thing, but no one will respond. Weird….

Despite what others here are saying, you're not weird! I assure you it's everyone else! You can come to us though to share your planning thrills! I know I would love to listen!

I do feel absolutely spoiled with our little DDD family here. I think we're all a friendly bunch of people and genuinely wanted to get to know people, so we came here for comfort and fun! I do wish some others who were active on our thread would come back though. I miss chatting with a lot of people. The WB TA group is HUGE! (I *so* badly wish someone was keeping track for stats.) It often runs very fast, which makes me feel like I'm rushing/speed-reading through the pages just to be aware of content and run out of time to really connect. (hmmm….I think I've heard me say this before!) So there are negatives to having non-chatters and too many chatters!

........I went ahead and booked a surprise 5 day trip to Vegas for DH's 30th birthday! … it gives me something to look forward to.........besides the baby of course ;) Let me be more specific: It gives me something to look forward to where alcohol and skinny jeans can be involved!

You are very sweet! I love the "skinny jeans" aspiration, too!

As for the cloth diapers, I'm going to have to check those out. I hadn't heard that they have changed that much. It makes sense since the technology with fabrics has so advanced. I babysat my cousin during the summers when I was in high school. They had him in cloth diapers, and I also HATED changing and preparing them for the laundry. YUCK!


...Ill post pics when we get back...

Off to Epcot this AM after checking in at CSR! Le Cellier for lunch...yummmm ……We're off!:thumbsup2

I hope you're having a marvelous time and everyone is staying healthy! Cannot wait to hear about it and see some awesome memories!


Well, I'm off to go home. I'm anxious to see today's episode of Oprah, which consists of an interview of Nadya Suleman's father. I'm not at all shy to say "those poor children". I am all for choice of single people going through invetro and becoming parents. As my clock has ticked on without a stable relationship, I've considered it myself, but I have decided it's too selfish because I don't have the support system needed to be a totally single parent nor do I want my children to not have a father. I've read enough research studies on teenage/adult test-tube babies to know I personally would not want my child to have all that emptiness. Sometimes it's okay to be selfish, but for me, this isn't one of them. It's a choice, not an outcome. Being a responsible parent begins with that choice. :)

Everyone's story is different, however, some stories are just....just....just....oh I cannot even say it here! God love those children and give courage and strength to that mother and the 14 kids grandparents. There are so many likely sad outcomes here. It almost brings me to tears predicting them. As they say....there is a reason. There is a reason.
 
OMG Kimberly I didnt know he was on Oprah... would love to know what he said. Are the mother and father together well I guess grandmother and grandfather? Do they see eye to eye or ???? I am with you there is a reason for EVERYTHING, and a child is a blessing no matter when, where etc... just .... ya im with you god bless those kids! Ill keep it buttoned too LOL!

Oh and I know that Poohbear4me came up to us at Grills.... she, her dh, ds and dd (i think) were at the table nearest the hostest stand. Not sure if thats who else you were talking about?

And you dont need to DUMP your obsessions, I DONT lol (guess thats why you see my report is taking SO LONG lol)

The grandfather contacted Oprah asking to go on her show. Nadya's parents are not together, yet from news reports on her mom, I would say they are on the same page. He loves his grandchildren. He thinks his daughter has been irresponsible though. He even asked Oprah if she would help get her evaluated.

As most parents would, he was as supportive as he can be and a little defending of her at times. He did slam NBC saying that they had her stay up late before that interview with Ann Curry, whisked her off to a place she wasn't familiar with, and was still pretty well drugged with pain meds from her C-section. So he said she wasn't in a state of condition to give a good interview. Oprah mentioned that herteam as well as many others in the media tried to get that exclusive interview, but Nadya chose Ann from NBC. Oprah also praised Ann for her interview. Oprah told Grandpa that she carried herself quite well and if she didn't want to do the interview or didn't feel it was the right time, she could have walked away. HARPO stated they tried to get a comment from NBC, but they declined.

Nadya didn't tell her dad about her plans for this last invetro. The doctor had called to check on her when he answered the phone one day. He asked him why he was asking about her, and the doctor said "didn't she tell you? She's pregnant." Hmmm.....sounds like a breech of doctor/patient confidentiality to me. Grandpa told the doctor that he was irresponsible and "WTH...don't you evaluate what your patients can take-on?".

Like his daughter, he hadn't considered food stamps as a welfare program. Oprah was strong and didn't express any sympathy, yet made it clear that since he came to her, she wanted him to say whatever he felt the need to share. Dr. Oz was quite full of energy on his view, including (I wish I could remember the exact phrase) her being selfish. You might want to see if there's a clip on her website. From my perspective, he was being a dad by being a little defensive, but overall, he's pretty upset with her choice and does not agree with it. Nonetheless, the kids are here and they will need tremendous love and care.

With your description of the location of Poohbear4me's table, that's who I was thinking of! I could picture exactly where they were and me standing there talking to all of them, but I totally forgot who I was speaking to! Furthermore, after you said that, a bell went off saying "Oh yeah! She has the same name as my DM!" (Sorry, Linda!!)
