Gnomies Gone Wild

[Charleston Princess]

Sign me up for Orlando tomorrow with Chefs for lunch! Our brilliant (sarcasm) governor and legislature just passed a bill mandating three unpaid furlough days for teachers -- there's another $750 I am losing this year. I need champagne in France in a bad way!

 

[kschafer]

CP, that sucks! So sorry

So I just decided to price out plane tickets for tomorrow and when I opened up travelocity, I saw Nobby and wondered how they knew it was me I think it's official, I am losing it!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Awww, you must celebrate and be happy! It could be worse, a lot worse you know. I think you need to play the Glad Game!

Thanks!

C, I will be mentally dining a Chefs tomorrow for lunch and savoring a slushie with everyone in celebration of your birthday

See you there!

Oh, CP. That is stinky. Does that mean your summer is 3 days longer?

Too cute. How are the flights?

---------------------

Reservation at Chefs for lunch. Check.
Orlando weather: 93, mostly sunny. Check.
Flights: ~$400. I don't have that lying around but it's not a bad rate. Sorta check.

IF ONLY I could actually do it. Wouldn't that be fun?????? Oh well, I guess it'll be the virtual/mental trip Katie suggested instead.

Have a great day, gnomies!!

Julez- sounds promising on the house stuff! Keep us posted!

Jess- glad Riley is doing well.

LL- aren't you just sick of this rain??? How's your eye?

Katie- so sorry about all this work stress.

Stacy - you have me giggling over the fact that you are seeing Disney objects in the clouds!

With all the talk a few days ago about dreams, I just had to share the one I had last night. Greg and I were buying a new house and as we were going over a final viewing of it, I discovered another section to the basement we hadn't noticed before. What is interesting about this dream is that when I was struggling with the decision to leave teaching I had a similar dream over and over. In those dreams, I would open a door in my house (not the house where I actually live but it was my house in the dream) and find a wing that we had forgotten was there.

I know this sounds wierd but I had that same type of dream repeatedly! So I decided to do some research about dreams and found that rooms in your home represent your personality. By finding rooms that I had forgotten about, my subconscious was telling me that I was ignoring parts of who I am. As strange as it sounds, this helped me make the decision to take the risk to leave teaching. Once I did this analysis, I never had the dream again. Wierd huh!

Perhaps this dream last night was a way of reassuring me that all will be OK with my job situation now? As strange as it sounds, I actually feel a little better about it.

[Lady Lallie]

I'm here. I'm not feeling well so I stayed home from work.

 

[kschafer]

Sorry you're not feeling well LL!

I am SO full from the French Onion Soup and quiche I can barely finish these cream puffs drenched in chocolate but I am doing my best. I think I can find just enough room for that after meal slushie Lunch together was a great idea C! Happy birthday!!!!!

 

[ILuvCrush]

OK I needed to share this!!

RumblyTumbly (one of the DISigners) is closing her photobucket account. Since I lost ALL my DISign stuff in the great computer crash over the weekend... I went to her site, so I could copy some of her blanks/wallpapers for me to use later (and to start rebuilding my files)

Anyhoo... I found this! I am definately making me a shirt! I'm taking it in September hehehehe!!!

That is TOO hilarious!

[ILuvCrush]

Hey gnomies!!

I got a special "guest code" via email today... if anyone wants to join us in September

Its $199 per night for a 1 bedroom villa at either Old Key West or at SSR

There's a # to call with a pin...
The caveat is you have to do a DVC tour and you need to be referred.

if you are interested in coming along or 'upgrading' let me know

Paula

 

[Charleston Princess]

Paula, that shirt design is hilarious!!!!

I would so take you up on the guest code, but it doesn't fit our dates .

it's too bad... cause it's like 45% off or so Which IMHO is pretty awesome

I hope someone can use it... its a shame to see it go to waste
(BTW...if you are wondering.... I don't get any perks from someone using it... its an 'opportunity to share the magic')

Too cute! Glad you enjoyed it! Can't wait to do it for real!

Paula - thanks for the enabling. That's a pretty good deal. Hopefully that means that the crowds won't be too bad during that period.

------------------

Gnomies - I cannot believe that it is not Friday yet?! HOW can that be?

I bought a new car yesterday! I'll try to post pictures over the weekend. I went the sensible route.

Have a great day!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Good Morning Gnomies.

I'm feeling better today. Bah. Yesterday was one of the worst days EVER for me but I survived.

C -- congrats on the car! Can't wait to see pictures.

CP -- Sorry about the cut in pay again! My dad has to take two days a month off without pay. He's been doing that for a couple of months now. It's really hard.
