I got my bangs trimmed at lunch for free (my salon doesn't charge for that), then went to Walmart's nail salon, Regal Nails, for a pedicure (french tip) and got talked into a french manicure too. I was SUPER glad I did it, because my nails (REAL nails) look BEAUTIFUL! I am really impressed with their work. It was $41 (plus tip). I had never before been to Regal Nails! But I will most certainly return.
My feet and hands are now perfectly presentable for Mickey.![]()
yep after today, ONE more day!
Yeah, I knew about the old pennies. It's just too hard to find them so we like to use shiny ones instead. Oh well.
Shopping was a success!!
I went to Target and found some flip flops. They were $12.99...I actually might go to Shoe Dept tomorrow and see if I can find some I like better. I only bought the ones at Target cause I saw them, they were brown, and somewhat comfortable.
We also went to TJ Maxx where I found Mike a pair of shorts on clearance for $10 (he really could use them since he's not a big shorts wearer so doesn't have that many). And I didn't think it would happen but I found the exact bra I was hoping to find!! It's a Calvin Klein bra in white that is just like a black one I got a few weeks ago at a different TJ Maxx. Only $12
Then we went to Walmart where I got a 97 cent extension cord (for the laptop in the room in case we need it), neosporin, special blister bandages (which I couldn't find last time I went to Walmart), a folder to put my Disney documents in, travel lysol, travel febreeze, more gum (orbit), and travel shave gel for both Mike and I.
I think I can honestly say I am DONE buying for this trip. 2 days ahead.I also cleared out the junk in my car this afternoon (since my parents will have it at their house, and not that they need it but they can take it wherever they please).
I ordered my sunshine rewards $50 disney gift card about a month ago, but it still hasn't arrived. Needless to say I am pretty peeved!!! I hope I am lucky and it comes tomorrow or Friday!!!! Oh please oh please oh please!!!
Mike has been instructed to do ONE THING tomorrow or Friday: Get a few rolls of quarters from the bank for the penny presses. (We have some pennies...although not brand new)
Tomorrow I'm hoping to get my pedicure, and I'll wash my new bra and Mike's shorts, and any last minute things.
Just 2 more days of work, then I'm officially on vacation!!!
Ugh! I spoke too soon. Leg still hurts. I guess it's just a matter of how much I've inflamed the nerve during the day as to how much it really hurts.
I just read the full terms and conditions of the Disney online-check in process....
I'll leave out the boring stuff...and highlight THIS:
Neither I nor any member of my party occupying any resort accommodation have/has any intention of making, and will never make, this resort accommodation a legal domicile or principal dwelling. My/our legal domicile is and shall forever be outside the Walt Disney World Resort.
Anyone find this just the least bit HILARIOUS??I mean do they legally have to put that in there? If I was going to live anywhere at WDW, it would be Cinderella's castle.

I can't. I really have no nails to speak of right now. I could always get those horrible fake ones on, I guess. But my nails are in such bad shape as it is. I don't want to make it worse.you should get a manicure!
I am glad my nails were relatively long. (well, they were pretty long til 2 of them BROKE on me this week!) She cut the rest of my nails shorter, not quite as short as the broken ones, but once the french manicure is complete you can't really tell unless I put my hands together--then you can see that the right index fingernail is slightly shorter. She did the white part as thick as the left side so you can't tell unless I put them right next to each other.

Cool! good luck!
Cheri -- You know you don't have to be a mom to make it on the panel. Feel free to apply, too! They really are looking for all kinds (most will be moms but not all...)
Aren't there men on there?

That is freakin hilarious.......you know what this is for right?? Illegals, cubans, defectors, etc. They will try to claim residency and use the address for documents.....they will say they have a contract for residency there...(by renting a room for $$ you enter in to a contract).....what a deal......Its probablly in all hotel contracts in some way!!!!
BTW, I'm living at Epcot.....I have fallen asleep on the dinosaur ride.....those moving benches are kind of comfy.......then you can eat foods from all over the world......and go on vacation to different countries.....go fishing at Coral Reef.....rock cliimbing in Canada!!!

yeah I knew that Dad's were also encouraged to apply. But I didn't know non-parents were allowed. I think I'll leave it to you Mom's,I would have no insight on travelling with children
Thanks for letting me know, though.
Rock Band all the way girl!! Guitar Hero just isn't what it used to be.
Well, I have a little pressure in my back but it's mostly in the back of my thigh. And it hurts more when I put pressure on my left hip. Which is around the area the sciatic nerve is. I asked my sister if she had any of this in early pregnancy and she said yes she did with all 4 of her kids. Not that it is for sure pregnancy but I'd like to think it is a nice sign of that instead of just my body starting to fall apart
For sure!
Well, I'm about to head home from work girls! I'll try to come back on later when I take a break from Rock Band. Hope everyone has a great afternoon!!
Hey, I saw the Ronnie James Dio version of Black Sabbath last year. They're all pushing 70 and they were great. Didn't need walkers to get them around on stage or anything!![]()
omg I LOVE Mellow Mushroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *drool*
Glad we could entertain![]()
well, New Orleans drinks are expensive too, but not NEARLY as delicious (or even as strong) as Disney drinks!!
Are you going to make an appointment? Or you mean you are waiting to do that?
BTW, TTA is set to re-open on Sept 12th. Didn't know if you had seen that yet.![]()

Guess that kills our dreams of living on property.

That's aWesome! I wish I could but not a mom yet. Oh well! Maybe some time in the future. I see Kelly applied too. I hope you both get it![]()
well I am paid up on all bills due this week and next (car note, student loan, mortgage) and got different denominations of cash out of the bank at lunch. Also got some quarters for the pressed penny machines. And I'm so crazy that last night I printed off the master list from Allears.net and went through all our pressed pennies and quarters, checking off the ones we had. It was NOT an easy task, as most of them don't have any indication of which park or resort they came from. At least half I'd say.
All my docs are printed, my check-list for tonight is ready, & my final packing list is printed and ready to be checked off when I verify everything tonight and tomorrow morning.
Most importantly, I checked in for our Southwest flight and got boarding passes A18 and A19!!
Hmm...what else...
okay okay, geeeez people.

Can you believe it's my own nails? I'm still in disbelief, I stare at them a lot.
You're not getting a picture of my feet.
Guess WHAT!!!! Work = DONE. Let the vacation......
COMMENCE!!!
