Becci-
I have started the door sign for us. I figured you would be busy with your trip and all. I love my cricut for this stuff. And if I have zebra and hot pink stuff left over I may ad it for my little wild side.

Thank you Patty! Thank God your are creative - because I'm not!




Well - I'm packing and planning. Tomorrow at this time I'll be at the airport on my way to WDW! So much to do still . . .

Have fun!

In fact ladies, it was suggested we add the Flag Retreat Ceremony to Thursday after lunch but before the Meet and Greet, so everyone make note of that.






Sure! Help yourself. It might be fun if we all used it in some way. So anyone else feel free to use it as well.

I might be arriving early without my sister (who will arrive in time for the meet and greeet), so I might hook up with you ladies at the flag retreat ceremony...

Thank you for posting permission to use this... It is just too cute!

 

[Califgirl]

WooHoo! Hiya Divas! I actually get to come on this trip, well for most of it at least.

I'm so excited because I just called DVC this morning and got a 1 Bd for Thurs. 2/25 & Sat & Sun, 2/27 & 2/28. I have to be home Saturday morning to teach, that's why I'm not there Friday night. So woo hoo! I have so much to catch up on - can I still order lanyards or shirts or get in on more of the dinners/activities or is everything full?

I'm so sad that I'll miss the scavenger hunt on Saturday, I always love those - but I'm looking forward to seeing so many of you again -- and to meeting some of you for the first time.

It just can't get here soon enough!

Have fun!! Safe travels. I want to hear all about it when you get back.

Sounds like a plan.

Hey Chris!! I'm so glad you'll be joining us!! I was hoping you'd make it for at least part of the time.

Do you still have the pink lanyard from previous trips? If so, we are using that. If not, PM Callie/Dangermouse and she will order you a new one. Also she will be posting a link for us to print out the lanyard tags once she gets back from Maui.

For the shirts, check the schedule on the front page. Some days are just going to be coordinating colors (lime green, blue, red, etc), and others are going to be the black pirate tee which you can make yourself using any black tee you have. And any tie dye tee.

And there are several spots on the front page for the meals too. Just take a peek and let me know what you want to be added to and you'll be all set.
Hope that helps.

Do you want any bling or glitter on your shirt? I am going to doctor mine up just a bit. Do you still want to go with both iron ons (front and back)?

Whatever you think looks good. You have more creativity in your pinky finger than I have in my whole body so I'm going to let you decide.
Are you going to use both iron-ons? What do you think will look the best on the style shirt I bought?

 

[KerTggr]

So I was just looking at the list I made to track the phone #'s and it looks like there are 48 women coming this time!! Which is awesome!! (Does that sound right?)

Phone list update:
I only need phone numbers from 4 more disers (if they want to provide & get a list themselves): bigskyernurse (Amy); lulubellesDD (Brianne); Mary Jo (Mary Jo); & MommywithDreams (Janelle). Please PM me with your info in the next 3 weeks.

FYI - I also have a list of attendees without dis info (at least that I could find. Some of these are repeat names, so if you have a DisName and this is your first name, I do not mean you. ): Rosemarie; Donna; Rebecca; Jamie; Barbara; & Tammy.

 

[katieandmattsmom]

I think both should work on the shirt. Since it is a v neck I think the pocket iron on should work well. I don't know if with the shirt being a v neck if the full decal would sit to low on the front of the shirt. I am doin a sweatshirt too so I don't know if I am going to do both on my t shirt since they will both be on the sweatshirt. I can play around with it and see what looks the best.

I would love to stay at DCA but this is not the trip for it. As many of you are doing, going without the family seem like a splurge and I need to keep the cost down to justify it. So far, justifying factors for me include (1) it's my birthday (2) I upgraded my ticket from our December trip to AP with reward points from my VISA (3) smokin' deal on HoJo room (4) I am only staying 3 nights instead of the whole time (5) bringing a friend to share the cost (6) still have 200 bonus reward points to spend plus a $25 gift card from my boss (7) I just won $100 from Safety Bingo at work (8) I will get extra money for doing the 1099s for the company I used to work for (9) I DESERVE IT! We all deserve it! We work hard for our families and don't need to feel bad for taking a few days for some fun for ourselves! So no more guilt trips ladies!

to everyone who is sick and has sick babies.

#9 is the BEST reason!! So many of us don't think we should do anything for ourselves, we're always doing things for everyone else. Sometimes we need to do something just for US! We're special!!

I found this on the DISigns section of the DIS and I like it a lot. I think I'll use this on one of the posters. (It already had the words Disney Divas on it. Wonder if this was requested by one of our group??)

I LOVE that sign. Hopefully my roomies love it too!!

Well - I'm packing and planning. Tomorrow at this time I'll be at the airport on my way to WDW! So much to do still . . .

Have LOTS of fun!! Hopefully the weather cooperates and you have a GREAT time with lots of memories!!!

Hi!

Happy Wednesday! I only have one more day of school and I'm off for the weekend. I'm going home Thursday night because Friday we're having our church family over so my parents can show them their vacation pictures. We were also going to get together with my cousin, Adam, and his family but I just found out today that my uncle's (by marriage) dad died.

My mom says I should send him a card but frankly my uncle feels like a stranger to me. He has never tried to get to know us, me and my sisters, and doesn't even say hello when we go over, which is quite often. I don't see why I have to send a card as opposed to one coming from the whole family. It would be like sending a card to stranger. I know that sounds really mean but you just have to know it's not that we have a bad relationship because that would mean we had a relationship to begin with but it's nonexistent.

Anyways...
I really like that green sign with the mickey heads. Cute!

Hope everyone has a good day and that mine is better than yesterday.

Cristabel, perhaps you could just think of it as a random act of kindness. Find an appropriate card, sign your name and send it off. It's just a kind thing to do when someone is hurting, regardless of your relationship with him.
Hugs

 

[Stacerita]

Stayed home from work today because I am sick. So I am just eating my soup for lunch (thanks nana) and DISing a bit before I go back to bed. I can't believe the trip will be here soon.

Cristabel, I know how you feel. I don't know one of my g-pa's as his 2nd wife "disowned" & wouldn't let him talk to my family (all before I was born). When she died, he reached out to us & I was like "I didn't even know you really existed for 20+ years of my life." I still haven't moved into a relationship with him...

Think about doing it for your mom, not for him.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Can't believe the trip is 4 weeks from tomorrow!

Amy and Janelle are not going.

I can PM Bree and Mary Jo on Facebook and let them know to send you a PM if they'd like.

Rosemarie is Kelly's mom.
Barbara is Kelly's aunt.
Donna is Tina's mom.
Jamie is Carol's friend.
Rebecca is Angie's friend.
And Tammy is Wendy's sister.

At least I think I got that all right. lol

I SO agree!!!

And I thought the sign was just perfect since it already had the Divas on there.

Stacie, can you take my name off. Thank you!!

Stayed home from work today because I am sick. So I am just eating my soup for lunch (thanks nana) and DISing a bit before I go back to bed. I can't believe the trip will be here soon.

Aw, I bet Nana's soup will work wonders. Take care. Get lots of rest.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Sarah - Hi.

Michelle - We're not going to forget who you are, silly. Good to see you here today.

Stacie - oh dear, I hope you feel better very soon!

Chris - YAY, you're coming!

Daisy - OUCHY! Hope your toe feels better soon.

Beth - That is a cute sign! Thanks for posting it.

Cheryl, Melody, and Debra - (just cause I figured you all needed hugs today)


What's going on with me you ask? Okay, you didn't ask, but I'll bore you with it anyway.

Well, I started a new class yesterday, so I had a little school work to do today.

Luke is home sick again today. No more fever, but he says his throat hurts really bad now. That warning about strep from Daisy seems more and more likely.

My eyes are feeling really tired today. I don't know why exactly, but when I move them around, they hurt. Actually, even when I don't move them around, they hurt. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night.

Still haven't redone anything in our family room that was damaged by our 3-day flood. These concrete floors may become part of our decor for a while. At least they will be nice and cool in the summer.

The top of my tongue really hurts too. Oh yeah, I remember.....I burned it while tasting the homemade beef stew I made for dinner last night. Seriously, I didn't even remember that until just now. Man, I'm brain dead these days.

Can't wait to write a special education law paper this weekend - NOT!

Started a diet this morning.....AGAIN! Yeah, stepped on the scale last night and didn't think the needle would ever quit spinning. No, really.

Oh crud, I just remembered the only hot tub at the HOJO is in the Pirate Cove area, which isn't exactly a relaxing environment to enjoy a glass of wine while taking a nice evening soak. That kind of bums me out. Oh well, no big dealio I guess.
