For Life

That one is a lot of fun

I was determined to get a high score

Once night I lucked out, and had such a good roun

Now I can not get any higher

I am gradually working my way up on it. I can't decide which is faster using my mouse or typing. Honestly I think I am better with the mouse.

I got faster when I used the keyboard

I feel mouse was slowing me down

With me it depends on how sore my right arm is.

I think LeeLee forgot that she was coming back.

I am thinking the same thing

Maybe the trip to the store wore her out, she is coupone queen


LeeLee...if ya outta there, come on and post

Stop keeping us in susponese

Sorry everyone. I did not mean to tell a lie!

I have a friend in from Alaska that I haven't seen in over 11 years. We grew up as "cousins" Her parents and my parents have been best friends for almost 40 years. Anyway she was shopping with her mom and my mom yesterday for things they can't get easily in the frozen north and I didn't think I would see her. she flys back this afternoon. anyway i ran into them at Jack in the Box while we were getting our free tacos. Anyone else get theirs? It was just for yesterday. If you get a chance check out that website. Hangintherejack.com it's funny!!

Anyway ran into them and the rest is history. Still had to go to Wally World and Didn't get home till after 11 and was exhausted

Somehow i double posted. that was enough rambling without having to read it twice!!! LOL

 

[LeeLee2U]

And now for my news. i really didn't mean to leave ya'll hanging.

I'm still nervous about it.

Anyone remember me telling about DHs best friend who is getting married in Aug in the World???

Well he wants DH to be his best man. Of course DH would do anything for him but $$ is an issue here and his best friend understands. Well.............................................

I've been waiting and waiting to see if a good deal would come up and finally I decided to book 4 nights at a value resort and buy the tickets elsewhere which was going to save me some $$ and the whole thing would cost us$882

The date for the wedding is Aug 14th so that left us out of all these special offers UNTIL I finally get back on the net after not checking for over a week and see they extended the buy 4 night get 3 free special. Dh says we need to go and use this as the honeymoon/Anniversary trip we have never had. We have been married for over 11 years and have never had a honeymoon, Anniversary or just went off by ourselves over night!!! The only thing about going to WDW is this trip would be w/out the kids so I was having a hard time with that. BUT................I really would like to go and hey this would just make me HAVE to go back and bring the kids right?????
So now I am booked from Aug 9th -Aug 16th (check out day!) at All Star Music (where the rest of the wedding party is staying) with base tickets for $839.50 What ya'll think?? If anyone knows of anything better please tell me. I thought it was a great deal but Hey I'll take any kind of discount. You know me and saving money!!!!
I am debating adding park hopper but DH and I figured we can probably get away without it since we'll be w/out kids and we have to schedule around his Dialysis anyway and we would like to have some Down town Disney time and shhhhh *gasp* maybe go off property *gasp* at least to go Shopping at a store i heard of!!! You can get the same shirts and stuff as inside the park for half the price sooo............................
But I don't know the thought of not having the park hopper bothers me so we might still add it. What do ya'll think??? Should we or shouldn't we???

Another thing is should I but the DDP or wing it? Is it cost effective? or should I stock up on things I can heat in a microwave cause we are seriously thinking of bringing a little one. We are driving and without the kiddos we'll have plenty of room n the van. UGH I feel so GUILTY for saying that!!!

Anyway all advice would be greatly appreciated. So feel free to sling any and all my way.

And yes I do realize this means I need to finish my TR from over a year ago!!!

 

[kaoden39]

Oh how exciting LeeLee. Don't feel guilty. You deserve this time to yourselves. I might consider the hoppers, it gives you more leeway on what you do doesn't it? I know that at Disneyland it is better with the hoppers and we only have the two parks. I think I would get overwhelmed with all the parks to pick from at Disneyworld.

Congrats on the August trip!

I personally like the hopper and non-expired options -- we like to do the one park in the AM and another at night...then I always fear what if one of us gets sick, etc, I'd hate to waste the tickets.

But, that certainly adds on more $$, so if you want to save $, just skip those. No real need to add them -- they are just really nice to haves.

As for the regular DDP -- I highly recommend it IF and this is a big IF, you really want to have a nice sit-down meal each day (it can be B/L or D). But remember, when you do a sit-down meal each day, that takes like 1-4 hours (depending where you go, travel time, showers, getting dressed, waiting for your table, eating, etc).

I like it b/c it forces us to relax a bit more and not rush, rush, rush. We can also get better food.

So if you were planning to eat a sit-down meal everyday anyway, and you can make the commitment to take that time away from the parks/rides, then it is definitely worth it.

But if not, you'd be better off just picking 2-3 restaurants and paying OOP for them and doing in-room meals or quick service instead.

There is also a new QS dining plan -- you get like 2 counterservice meals a day plus 2 snacks. It's cheaper than the regular plan but doesn't include any table-service places. My fear with this plan is that we'd end up eating a lot of cheeseburgers and pizza ... and although I like them, I don't want to eat them every day. IF you can do the QS at the resorts (drive to the different hotel food courts) -- you have much better options.

Good luck and let us know what you decide!

So whatever bug is going around finally hit me last night. Couldn't keep anything down or in me last night/this morning.

Now I'm really hungry (or more appropriately, the baby is), but I'm trying to be really careful what I eat.

When is spring coming? I so can't wait to get outside in the warmer weather and away from all the sniffles and worse...

 

[Marshay]

Hey, Michele! We'll be praying extra hard for K today!

I am so glad that we don't have a traditional winter here. We start to get Spring like weather in Feburary.

Hey, Michele! We'll be praying extra hard for K today!

Thank you so much.

I really am leaning more toward the hopper for those just in case moments. For instance that Sat The wedding party is taking pic in MK before it opens Well I personally don't want to spend all of my Sat there if i don't have to since that is one of its busiest days. And of course since the only time we went we had hopper and the DDP i am spoiled. I keep adding prices up and even with us bringing water snacks and sharing some meals Just one sit down dinner can be quiet expensive OOP and DH is doing so good on his eating habits that I'm thinking we will prob. be better off with the plan. I'm figuring up ways to save money and the phone has gone crazy today. We have 2 family portrait shoots scheduled for this w/E So if business can keep up like this.
Even just 1 big shoot a week we could add every thing i want and upgrade!!!!! But I'll play it on the downlow and just keep it cheap right now!!!

And Marshay you ought to love this. The only place I ever stayed there was the Beach club. now I'm in All Stars!!! Oh well it's Disney!!!
