Girls Only Disneyland Trip - Old Thread

[bumbershoot]

She is brutal. This morning she told me I had dirt on my face. I looked in the mirror and realized she was talking about my eyeshadow. I asked her if it made me look pretty. She said no, it made me look dirty.

Oh you poor thing! Maybe someday you'll have to have a trip when we are there, and you can borrow DS. He's towards the end of 4, and once he gets used to you he'll shower you with compliments. He loves what makeup does to my face...he watched us get ready for hubby's work party last week, and went back and forth between bathrooms, telling each of us how beautiful and handsome we looked. Maybe I'll have him have a little convo with your girl.

I might have to do a little homework.
Is there wifi at the HOJO's? Does it cost anything?

We have been prompted to pay when we try to hook into wireless at hojo. But they have a router with a cord for free internet, just not wireless. I suggest bringing a longer cord, though; the ones they have had in the rooms only allowed for someone to sit on the bed, an inch away from the bedstand, and they are pretty loose and come out every so often.

Ya know--it's that grass is greener thing sometimes?

Definitely. Since I was the last of my friends (who got married) to get married, I envied them from the first wedding, and within 2 years of each wedding, they envied me. They routinely "lived vicariously" through me...all the while I sat home on weekends, I was dumped cruelly, sure I had some "fun" but the bad times were really rotten and they *knew* this but still liked to hear about the good times.

And then the two friends who should never have married their dudes have both divorced...watching all of them was really eye-opening...the second friend wasn't divorced at the time of my wedding, but he was already making plans to leave her, it turned out and we found out later, at that time.

Don't get me wrong...it would be the ultimate in romance to marry your childhood sweetheart, but not like the first divorced friend, just b/c you got pregnant while broken up and forced to make the baby legitimate b/c the groom's father is in politics...

That's what you think. When was the last time you were on a trampoline?

Did you read the moon-bounce baby thread on Disney for Families several months back (and before that, 9 months earlier)? The Dis'er bought a bounce for her daughter's birthday, and her hubby wanted to "try it out", and then the moonbounce baby was conceived. She even tried it out as she went over her duedate, it worked! It was a very funny thread. So watch out, Beth, unless you're a fan of FIVE! (or more!)

Ah well, that explains it. I don't drink and I don't eat very much beef.

A certain popular Adam Ant song is starting to run through my head about you....that song described me until my senior year of college b/c I was very far behind my friends in terms of innocence stuff.

You did see me on Sunday right?? There is no way any 2X would ever fit me, especially in a tee.

Cheryl, I swear I am not exaggerating. Check my closet, it is full of 2X and 3X. Only recently have the 2X's started to fit, and some still don't.

I'm glad you've come to your senses. I've seen your pictures, and your shirts are very VERY baggy on you, so even though you wear those sizes, you *could* wear smaller sizes, I know you could.





I'm drastically sick. It's super-fun.

Something I learned today about being sick...even though I avoid dairy when sick, I still do NEED my coffee, b/c otherwise I get a no-caffeine headache. Finally realized it at around 5, and sent my one-day-behind-me-in-sickness hubby out for a mocha, and shortly thereafter my massive and intolerable headache was gone. I didn't want to take anything for the headache or my sickness b/c we're in constant TTC mode, and I try to avoid those drugs, so I was glad the caffeine worked (I don't drink much, but I do drink it, and it turns out I need it).



So this illness with ear pain, exhaustion, joint pain, stabbing pains...yeah, NOT fun! Hubby's got it (though he tends to go through sicknesses faster than I do) and today Eamon started to sniffle. JOY.

So I have to get better, significantly, tonight so that I can take care of my boys tomorrow.

How does that go along with staying up to almost midnight?

Take a look back at the 5pm coffee comment.

Oh, and Toocherie, since you're on eharmony I figure you might be interested in this...have you checked out "it's just lunch"? A lawyer friend of mine in Seattle has used them, and meets lots of people.

 

[tinkermell]

OK Melody, I got your PM and the teams are now posted on the front page and I updated the thread title, so hopefully soon everyone will be checking in to see which team they are on.
Thanks again! It's going to be so fun!!



And now, I am off to bed. Night!

A BIG THANKYOU TO OUR FEARLESS LEADER FOR KEEPING UP WITH ALL OF US!!!!!!

Hey all. Working on some numbers for the Pizza Party.....seems to me that we were closer to 37 or so people when adding responses, but these are the people on the front page.....

So, if you're NOT on this list and want to join us for the pizza party, please PM me. If you're ON the list and WON'T be making it, please PM me. I'd say just respond here, but I'm concerned that I'll miss a post.

Thanks All!

I got to thinking about this....
For the totes and wrapping. Last time we flew, any items that were wrapped that we took on the plane, we were asked to unwrap everything. Also, if you take an item through the security on the DLR esplenade, if it's wrapped and they notice it, they'll make you unwrap it. (Happened to my Dad last year.)
Just a word of caution for those who are traveling via plane and not planning to check suitcases. You might want to wait until you get to Anaheim to wrap the totes. If anyone needs wrapping supplies, PM me and I'll bring some extras.

 

[kelmac284]

Hey Beth LOVE the idea of Napa Rose. ALWAYS wanted to try that place. Mom and I are in!!

 

[BillyFan]

Good Morning Friends!

Molly, I hope you are starting to feel better. When you mentioned you 5:00 coffee, I was thinking how I have to cut off all caffine early in the day, or I'll sleep even less than I normally do! So I hope you got good rest once you finally fell asleep.

 

[Stacerita]

OK ladies!!

The list will be coming for the hunt. I need to PM Beth the names to put on the front page.

Hope you all are OK with our choice of teams!!

If you want, you may pick out a team name for yourselves, and do whatever you want to identify yourselves.

Have fun!!!

Melody, Dawn and Wendy

Wooohoooo! Thanks for doing this for us. I can't wait. It looks like it will be a lot of fun. Thanks again ladies!!

Did you read the moon-bounce baby thread on Disney for Families several months back (and before that, 9 months earlier)?

I remember that thread. I laughed for days remembering the moonbounce baby.


So I am on campus today in the lab working. As you can tell I am not motivated yet to start working on anything. I grab a competency book to work on, but haven't opened it yet. I logged on and went right to the DIS before even getting to the online portion of my class. Ugh, my priorities are not right. But I am just getting so excited for the trip.

Its raining over here too. DD's practice was canceled and so was field duty for the parents. Thank goodness. So now I can just do my work here and then go home and relax tonight. There was also horrible thunder a bit ago. Really loud, long and scary. I hope it stops. I don't like it.

Have a great day everyone.

 

[Queenbillabong]

I washed and already packed the blankets. Can we go now??

Yes, we can

Isn't the Tag Fairy awesome? I love her!

I think she may be awesome, but I would not know for sure I'm not funny enough.....

And as for the candy, booze, junk food, dessert, tours and meals, well...........we're just cramming a years worth of fun into 5 days! It's got to last us until the next annual trip after all.

Very true - and all the princess stuff we can handle



Hey - for the Scavenger Hunt teams - do the teams with only three people get spotted something for having one less pair of eyes????

 

[disney-super-mom]

Good morning everyone.

I'm doing laundry this morning - yay.

But this afternoon I'm taking my five year old (Luke) to his little kindergarten girlfriend's (Katie) birthday party. He says he's going to marry her when he grows up. Awwww, puppy love. (They're not even in the same kindergarten class.....but they ride the same bus home, and that's where the sparks began. - HAHAHA)

Molly, I hope you feel better soon.

 

[jordansmomma]

I remember the Moon bounce thread. I was laughing so hard at work!!

The movie last night was really good! Very funny, but kind of drawn out. But it was so funny!!!!

I am doing laundry & in about a half an hour my friends daughter is donating 17 INCHES OF HAIR TO LOCKS OF LOVE!! So I am going to go watch her get her hair cut!!

Then come home clean some more & get ready for my date.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Capri puppy love is so cute!!

 

[mommaU4]

I'm drastically sick. It's super-fun.

Sick is bad enough. Drastically sick sounds just awful. Hope you feel better soon!

A BIG THANKYOU TO OUR FEARLESS LEADER FOR KEEPING UP WITH ALL OF US!!!!!!

You silly. Thank you though.

Ditto!!!!

And.....is it March yet????

Thank you to you too. And I wish it was March!!

Yes, sometimes posts get missed. If you get any PMs from anyone who's not on the list, let me know and I'll update it.

Just a word of caution for those who are traveling via plane and not planning to check suitcases. You might want to wait until you get to Anaheim to wrap the totes. If anyone needs wrapping supplies, PM me and I'll bring some extras.

That's true! Good thinking. I'm not flying, but I'm still waiting until we get to the hotel to wrap it so I don't worry about it getting torn in my suitcase.

Hey Beth LOVE the idea of Napa Rose. ALWAYS wanted to try that place. Mom and I are in!!

Cool! It's the lounge not the actual restaurant but from what I read they are connected so it's a close second. lol

 

[mommaU4]

There was also horrible thunder a bit ago. Really loud, long and scary. I hope it stops. I don't like it.

It's raining here too!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!! No thunder though. We used to have huge, loud, scary thunder storms in Michigan and I loved them. The lightning would light up the whole night sky like it was daytime and the thunder would shake the whole house.

I think she may be awesome, but I would not know for sure I'm not funny enough.....

Awwww, maybe you'll get one after the trip. Lots of ladies did last time.

He says he's going to marry her when he grows up. Awwww, puppy love.

How cute it that.

The movie last night was really good! Very funny, but kind of drawn out. But it was so funny!!!!

Glad you liked it.
Is anyone going to see the new movie Coraline? It's by the makers of the Nightmare Before Christmas. So far the reviews seem really good.

 

[Stacerita]

I am doing laundry & in about a half an hour my friends daughter is donating 17 INCHES OF HAIR TO LOCKS OF LOVE!! So I am going to go watch her get her hair cut!!

Then come home clean some more & get ready for my date.

DD donated twice to Locks of Love. Its a great organization.

Have fun on your date tonight.

 

[mommaU4]

Linda has booked the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour!!!

Thank you Linda!

It starts at 2, but the meeting time is 1:50 at the Tour Gardens on Main Street. (that info is on the front page as well)

 

[mommaU4]

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful day. I've got some things to do around the house, then some errands to run, so I'll check back later.

 

[daisy_77]

Good afternoon, ladies!

I just got back from Target and WW. I did get some shoes and a pair of shorts for the trip.

Molly----don't feel bad for me. DD can be a spicy meatball...but generally she is just a sweetheart. She just has her moments (I have some spicy moments myself at times).

Well..Dh and I are doing some early spring cleaning and boxing up some stuff to take to the family storage unit. My parents and brothers use it too. There is so much stuff in there, now there will be more.

I come from a family of pack rats and I married one.

Have a great day ladies!

I will talk to you all later.

January =-- I am a total pack rat too. When I moved from Utah the movers told me I had way too much stuff for a single woman!

Anyway, I made two batches of cookie dough this morning (sugar and a double batch of scotch shortbread). I also baked a thin double batch of brownies--intent (we'll see if it works) is to cut out heats from the brownies and decorate them. I'm starting the short ribs soon so they can simmer the rest of of the day.

It's raining here too--off and on--the sun comes out, then clouds, then a downpour, then sun again!

Everyone have a great day! My feet are already killing me! LOL

Cheryl

P.S.: Molly I hope you feel better too!
