Ugh, I am sorry to hear about your crummy day at work!

Any fun Disney stuff on your to-do list for tonight?

Ugh, I am sorry to hear about your crummy day at work!

Any fun Disney stuff on your to-do list for tonight?

My list includes:
Ipod/Itunes - trying to synch it all up again. I have all our wedding music still on it but when our computer crashed I lost all of it. So I don't want it to auto synch. My smart brother has given me a couple things to try. I want to get it working so I can use it on my work outs.

Update PTR - I was going to do it this morning but I haven't had time.

Go for walk

I might start working on my budget tonight too depending on how motivated I'm feeling.

Okay, all of those sound relatively enjoyable and a nice way to detox from your work day!

They are not too bad. If I don't make a list, they will never get done though.

Oh, that's the way I am -- if I don't write something down, it will never get done. There is even a list with all of the rooms I needed to declutter .

 

[Lady Lallie]

You make me feel so much more normal, Jackie!

I'm very excited the next Lady Emily book is at the library waiting for me to pick it up on my way home. Also, Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone. I'm going to re-listen to all of the books in preparation for November's movie.

 

[MegansMom]

I could SWEAR I posted a reply on here this morning but do not see it.......just a little somethin', somethin' about crunching Disney numbers and playing with some Disney Math.......wanted to see if there was anyone who could help out......................just sayin'............

 

[jenjolt]

I make lists for everything!!! Yes today was a very active day!! So I'm exhausted now!!!!!

Jen (MM) is someone planning a Disney trip????

We can be "normal" together, LL!

I have to admit I am glad it is going to be November before the next HP movie -- there are too many summer movies already vying for our attention.

Tears of the Pearl has a very exotic locale, so you know I loved it!

I don't see it either -- start dishing Miss Jen!

Your up in Michigan right now, right, Jen? The book I am reading is set on an island out in the middle of Lake Superior, and it makes me want to go there!

My ipod mission has been met with failure. I think it's broken. It turned on for 2 seconds when Marc plugged it in to charge and now we can't get it turn on at all. I really don't have the money to invest in a new one but I know I'm going to need it as I keep training.

I forced myself to put Lady Emily down because I'm in one of those moods that if I keep reading I would be up all night!

Oh, no! That stinks about your ipod .

Yep, I know that feeling of wanting to keep reading a book until it is finished.

Marc found another charger we had for it and plugged it. He said to let it "rest" tonight on the charger and we can try again tomorrow. I think he is just trying to delay the inevitable. Did I spell that right?

Yep, spelled right! Maybe the new charger will work its magic in the night!

Here's hoping.

This ipod has given me grief since the very first day we bought it. It's ugly too. I let Marc go out and buy it and it's this little square thing, not like the longer ones now. Yuck.

Sounds like you might really need a new one...have you priced them by any chance? I am just wondering if the lower end models have come down in price at all since they came out with the ipod Touch and iphones.

 

[kschafer]

Hey hey girls!

My goodness, so much going on with you guys! Activity, reading, Disney math, i-pod and work stress...what did we do before we had the internet to share such details with "strangers"?

I was debating not saying anything because I don't want to jinx it but Greg and I had an interesting conversation today...I think I have the wife of the coach that Greg works with to thank! Gregs impression is that she gets quite upset at her hubby for all the time he spends away with basketball and I think he is appreciating me more and more for being supportive of the things he wants to do and picking up the slack with the kids. Greg told me that he was saying to the other coach that he may have to send me to Disney every year to keep me happy

I then commented on the kids sail free deal they have right now which just so happens to run through our spring break and Greg asked me to price it out. It would be the 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise that sails out of LA. 3 days at sea and 3 ports of call. I'm finding cheaper rooms are still available but maybe not with the deal (which would be a deal breaker for sure!)

Who knows if anything will work out. And of course, this is all dependent on my having a reliable paycheck...we'll see!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oooh, that sounds very VERY promising Katie! My fingers are crossed for you!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Good morning, Gnomies! How is everyone today?

Katie, I think you should get Greg to sign something about you getting a Disney trip every year. A cruise would be a lot of fun! It is definitely something that has been on our radar for awhile if I can ever tear myself away from the parks themselves.

LL, I finished The Tale of Halcyon Crane last night. It was very good -- a good summer read, but I shouldn't have finished it late at night after everyone went to bed. In the back of the book, the author, Wendy Webb, mentioned a few other books that she really likes -- now I am going to have to check them out, too. There was one author, Carol Goodman, who writes literary mysteries and our library has all of them, so I will be making a trip there this week. Now, I guess I will have to go back to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle in the meantime.

I know what you mean, I can't read creepy books at night after Marc leaves for work. I get paranoid.

I think you need to make your way to the library so you don't have to read the Edgar Sawtelle book.

It wasn't even really that bad until the very end, and then, I was like, "Oh, it is spooky!"

I really need to get to the library. Maybe I will go today because the thought of having to deal with Mute Edgar, his crazy uncle, and the dogs is not rocking my boat.
