for packing Feels so real doesn't it once we start to do that. Last summer I had started way to early and had to take everything out for fear Jasmine "may" have removed something from the suitcases

Joe, you are a GREAT hubby. And, Sophia, I'm sorry your breakfast was nasty -- it sounds nasty (but then I hate mushrooms ).

I can't believe how close you are.

My breakfast was so nasty, I am still thinking about it. As my cousin's daughter would say...it was insgusting....

I remember when my ticker said 11 months, 3 weeks.... now, 1 week, 5 days (I think)

your ticker says one week

I want to pack too but it will be next weekend when I do. DD's clothes are mostly packed but I need to wash them yet along with mine and DH's clothes. I hope to have everything finished and packed by Labor Day besides the last minute stuff.

I was trying to wait for Labor Day weekend. I couldn't hold out.

Hey Girlie!!

Popping in to say howdy! I guess $115 is better than $185. Still, a discount would have been great!

Happy packing, my friend! That's sure makes things real, doesn't it!?

Thanks Liesa.

I can't wait to hear how today's DIS meet went.

It makes it so real just seeing the suitcases out!

I know that feeling...starting too early can sometimes be a pain. I find that I pack and then repack. I am crossing my fingers that doesn't happen this time.

I have been struggling for what feels like years (ok, really only two years) to find a camera bag that I like. One that is not a back pack, that I can get into fast, and that opens from the top.

Joe took me shopping yesterday. Yay, I finally found one that I think will work!

You can adjust the inside panels so that you can change what you want to carry around. I decided on taking on two lenses this time. The mid range lens and the long range lens. I hope I am not making a mistake by not taking the one that came with the camera as well. I just don't want to carry too much because this sucker is heavy. Sometimes I could kick myself for getting the professional model of this camera instead of the consumer model.

Here is the bag:

What do you think?

 

[onescgirl]

I love your camera bag AND your nails!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Since I had the camera out, I decided to take pictures of the kids.

Tessie Jean turned 13 last week. She's gotten quite frail and it's upsetting to me but she's still hanging on.

Then there is Lucy. She's my chubby girlie.

Then we have Gus....he's a doll baby.

And finally, Stevie. This is the only time he's ever quiet.

I love your camera bag AND your nails!

Thanks. I've struggled with the dang bag for what feels like forever. Dang if we don't have 4 of them I think.

That's my "test" nail. I had my manicurist make me a little Mickey head on my thumbs with crystals. I'm not sure I like it yet but I have one more appointment before our trip. We figured I'd check it out now and we can adjust at the next visit.

Hi! I don't think I ever subbed to your PTR!! SO I'm here now, and need to catch up!

I like the crystals! I did a 'test' on mine & Lexi's toes last week with polka-dots (to be like Minnie).

 

[KatMark]

Love the camera bag, the nails AND the pics of the cats. So how excited are you? We finally got down to the teens.

 

[Joyciemc]

I love your cats! They are so cute!

Where did you get the camera bag? I gave up looking for this trip- I was having zero luck. The bag that I got with the camera (it was a gift) is a backpack Tamarac bag and I do not enjoy wearing a backpack.

Yay for packing!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Yay for being in the teens! Pretty soon it'll be single digits!

Yay, I'm glad that you're here!

We usually try different things the last couple of appointments before our trip. I try not to get too outrageous since I'm in Human Resources and get to be the "police" for our dress code. I really wanted to get crazy with my nails but that just won't fly. I love the polka dot idea!

Thanks, Kathy.

I'm really getting excited for this trip. I need it badly! Glad to hear that you're in the teens now!

We have 2 off the backpack Tamarac bags and I know exactly what you mean about them. The straps for me are too uncomfortable to wear as a backpack. We got this one at Dodd Camera, which is a local camera store. I searched high and low on the Internet but I really wanted to be able to see the bag before purchasing. It is just like carrying a purse actually. I've been walking around the house with it on to get use to it.

I can't wait for single digit dancing!

By the way, I'm totally loving your TR!

 

[charming23]

Look at how big Stevie has gotten!!!! They are all so adorable.

 

[Charlefours]

Nice camera bag! The kitty pictures are so cute!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Great camera bag! Love the nail....you should definately go for the crystals....and how cute are your cats....

 

[DB of ODL]

After banking we went to breakfast and honestly, mine was the pitts. I am trying to stick with the diet and I got an egg white omlet with mushrooms and onions. Honestly, it was like eating rubber. Nasty. He could tell I was bummed about it so he was trying to make me feel better...I think that's why I got to pack.

If the eggs tasted like rubber then they overcooked them. I eat those now instead of regular eggs and had to learn how to not overcook them.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Thanks. Stevie is getting big but man, is he bad.

Nice camera bag! The kitty pictures are so cute!!

Thanks. I am sure hoping that this camera bag works out for me.

Great camera bag! Love the nail....you should definately go for the crystals....and how cute are your cats....

Thanks. I think I will go for the crystals. She's looking for black ones so that they look more like Mickey. Who knows what I'll end up with.

They were nasty.

Tomorrow I will be single digit dancin'. According to the app on Joe's phone, it's today.

My sister told me yesterday that she went and got a few things for my nephew and for her self yesterday. I'm glad to see that she's not waiting until the very last minute.

I had a dream last night about the dang washers/dryers at WL. Must be a sign or something. I still cannot get over the fact that they have oly 5 washers and 10 dryers. I can't remember what site I read it on...Allears, Mousesavers, etc. but it totally freaked me out. Last year at CSR, there were tons of them! I am taking enough stuff where I won't HAVE to do laundry but there is something to be said about bringing clean clothes home and not having to do a ton of laundry. Not to mention, they smell like Disney if you wash them there for some reason....

 

[KatMark]

Now that is odd to only have that small amount of washer/dryers. I grant you the WL is not spread out like the CSR with separate buildings and such, but you would think they'd have more washers and dryers.

I know what you mean...I hate bringing laundry home, but I hate more taking time out of my vacation to do it too.
