[JoJo1980]

Just popping in between napping to say...

3 weeks!

Nanner party

 

[Wrexie]

Yay for three weeks! Your trip will be here before you know it.

Have you started packing yet?

 

[nic100308]

I have started to compile trip things and put them all in my carry on and park bag for the time being. That's as close as I have gotten to packing. I'm having Thanksgiving so I figured I would have my in-laws bring the luggage then and pack after that.

 

[DONTMINDME]

Haven't heard from you in a while just making sure you aren't working yourself to death and you are feeling ok!!!! It's getting too close to take any chances. Have you started to actually pack yet? I have!!!!!

 

[jenbear123]

Yeah, where have you disappeared to?!? I'm only 5 days away from my date! Come back soon, okay?

 

[disneyaddicted]

I saw a packages of Kazoos today and thought of you. I was like, Hmmmm I wonder if Billie made these?
What is WOW that everybody keeps talking about?

 

[DONTMINDME]

World of Warcraft. It's an online Interactive computer game that is as addictive as Disney to some people, my family included. Crazy, huh? And they don't understand me and Disney but they will talk wow for hours on end, in the car, at dinner, on the phone. They even talk to the computer?????? It doesn't talk back

 

[JoJo1980]

I remember when warcraft came out many many years ago, I got a demo of it on one of those discs stuck to a magazine and loved it so my parents got me the actual game for christmas and I was hooked. Unfortunately I dont seem to play computer games anymore, I miss doing that, maybe after this trip I will put aside a bit of time to have some computer fun

Holy hijack, Batman!

Just kidding, I'm really flattered that you ladies have managed to keep my thread alive while I've been MIA. For those who expressed concern... Yes, I'm perfectly fine! Just busy busy busy. My life has pretty much been as follows:

Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work. Work. Home. Sleep. Work...

You get the idea. Hasn't left me much time for DISing, I'm afraid. And when I have been, I've just been lurking... I've been staying caught up on all of your PTRs, but have been just too damn tired and braindead to post comments. Sorry!

We're at 16 days out. I still have a few things on my shopping list to pick up before the trip, and plan on starting the laundry & packing process next week. But overall, I'm feeling pretty relaxed, not stressing at all. Just eager and excited for it to hurry up and be time to GO!

 

[jenbear123]

Yay Billie is back!

Glad to hear that you're not stressing at all. I'm sure you read how stressed out I've been!!! 16 days will fly by and you'll be on your way before you know it

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I can't wait for you to be able to have a few days off from both jobs!!! You are going to need it!!! It is great that you are such a hard worker!

16 days!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nic100308]

So the second job is over after Disney or after Christmas!?!?!

Two weeks!?!?! Isn't it great that it is so close. I was thinkign this morning how wonderful it is to say that it's almost here!!!

I'm glad you're not stressed, that would be awful if you were. All that work and stress, but it's good that you're relaxed and the second job isn't putting a strain on you.

Just let me know, I know some crazy guys that would cheerfully help you start out and add you to their guild. They have many characters and are always talking about helping a newbie ge started.

Yay Billie is back!

It's kinda stressful how unstressed I am. LOL. I feel like I should be doing more, but I really don't have anything left to do but laundry and packing, and printing off all these lovely spreadsheets I've made. That's it!

I can't wait for you to be able to have a few days off from both jobs!!! You are going to need it!!! It is great that you are such a hard worker!!

I dunno if I'm all that hard of a worker in general... but Disney World money is an amazing motivational influence...

Yeah, I talked to my boss at the second job, he is an old friend of mine from our high school days. We agreed that my last day before my trip would be Nov. 22 (a full week before I leave on Dec. 1st) because of Thanksgiving. I won't go back until Dec. 14th. I'll only be there for a week and a half to help them out before Christmas, then I'm done for good because after the holidays they will slow down and not need the extra help anymore. But he's going to keep me sorta "on call" and let me know first if they have enough work for me to come in occasionally and make a few extra dollars.

Stay awaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! WoW is suuuuuch a massive time-sink. It has devoured many a life, I'm afraid. My account is currently active, but I don't really play anymore.

Gosh, my PTR started out with so much potential, didn't it? Then I picked up the second job and lost my internet access at my first job, and have ended up with no time for this thread.

Not alot has been happening, but I have had so many "planned" posts for PTR that just never have come to fruition. No fun stories or pictures. So bland, I'm sorry.

My TR and dining review will be better, I promise!!!

Today I went shopping, bought a couple new tops and some necklaces for the trip. Part of me feels guilty for that, but the other part feels very justified. I only get to see Ron every 3 months, so Disney or no Disney, it's important that for one week I feel like I look sorta cute for him.

Last week, I picked up some cheap little Christmas earrings and necklace to wear to MVMCP, too. With a red top and green shawl, and jeans. Yay.

Also, I'm having some reservations about the pink Heys Travelmate bag I bought... I think the strap is just a hair too short ot wear comfortably all day long. I'm still going to give it a try on he first day, but I also bought a back-up bag at WalMart. It's just a very simple purple denim bag, but it's lightweight and the strap extends really long, and fits more comfortably across my huge belly and ample chest. It just won't hold as much junk as the TravelMate will, so we'll see what happens with that.

I sent Ron a package today, in it I included my neck pillow that I use for long trips so that he can use it on his flight here, his black Heys Travelmate bag, a little box of candy, a case for his camera that I picked up for him a month ago because I knew he needed one, and almost everything that WDW has mailed me in the last three months. I only kept for myself the booklet of info that I got in my Mickey Mail at the 30-day mark, and our MVMCP tickets. I sent him the planning DVD, the customized maps, the luggage tags, and every other little thing they've sent me. I don't need any of it anymore, and I know that looking at it all will help build excitement and make him feel more included in all the planning I've been doing.

Okay, that's all I've got for now. Yesterday was our 2 week mark, though! I didn't have time to update. So today is...

13 more days!!!
3 days until online check-in!!!
OMG OMG OMG!!!

Just wanted to tell you my mom and family is in Disney and I told her about the Schoolhouse bread in Norway she had to call me and tell me she was eating some and loved it. I told her I only knew about it because of Billie so she said to tell you thank you very very much they are getting some for breakfast too.

LOL! Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad that I could spread the school bread love around!

I'm at 10 days today and did online checkin it was so easy and made me feel so goofy excited I couldn't stop giggling. I can't believe how fast it is getting here. I am so jealous of my family they are already enjoying all the mouse has to offer. My Mom and BIL are having scooter races. They are eating in Mexico tonight and watching Illuminations one of my favs, soon

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]
