Having a GRAND time - the NEW Official GF Chat Thread PART 3

[tinklvr64]

Hi!

I had a busy fun day. Went out for a LOOOOoong breakfast with my super nice saint but FUN nurse friend. Very nice time.

Then ran some errands,did a little housework, did a little other work, and ran kid around.

I am not in a chit chat mood...believe it or not. Not sure why. Hormones? I don't know....

V- sorry about your crazy life right now. I hate that. Hang in there. Look to the vacation!! You're ALMOST there.

Dawny, that puppy chow sounds scrumptious. I have to go back and find that muffin recipe. YUMMMy!!!!! Did you see I bought my flight? I just don't know....if you take that early 2 flight...I don't really wnat that one....I am not sure what K and S are doing....I don't know what I am doing.....I just bought it because it was cheap. Nothing is set in stone....

Deb! I know if I hadn't had stuff to take me out of the house today I would have been glued to the computer...bored! This weather is trashy and makes me feel bleh! Maybe it's not hormones, but the weather!!! OMG...and yes...it's a lesson!! It didn't just happen to ME!! I guess we have to be careful with that SWA ressie system!!!! Poor Dawn!!! No OKC for her!!! Ft Lauderdale is pretty decent...but OKC...nope....deal or no. That is funny about your ADRs. I NEVER make them that far out. That is silly IMO. I am a putz about that....but I can't even get that excited about dining 6 months out.

Kristin...OMG..on your packing skills. I can't even go there.


ANYWAY.....I will talk to ya all tomorrow!!! Or..maybe later. Those hormones are nasty wicked things.

CHan

Chan...not so chit chat chan....I dont know wth im going to do on that return flight....prob the 2pm but then again its so early..see what im saying!

Down Comforter $300
Electric heater: god only knows $$$
Polar fleece jammies: $50

Warm toes: PRICELESS

I AM COLD! and very much Disney dreaming. I want to be there and warm right now. February seems so far away from this cold Maine day.

Packing goddesses: you all amaze me. I am lucky to remember socks, undies and toothbrushes for everyone. Thank god Disney sells all that stuff. The last trip was my best packing...everyone had enough clothes for the week. Em might have had 10 or 12 too many outfits for a 7 day trip LOL But she managed to wear them all

I am still trying to figure out how I am going to fit enough for 5 days for me into one suitcase and get it all home with gifts for the kids...I have never had to make it fit in one case before. Guess I might need to measure my smaller case and see if it makes carry on size. Think they'll let me carry on a case full of mickey krispie treats? (all the kids want these treats )

Morning Gals


Chan.....OMG.....I always make my ADRs 180 days out .....that's the control freak in me . I would be so stressed if I didn't have any restaurant ressies . I'm telling you....I'm nutso when it comes to planning our Disney trips........something just takes over and I can't think of anything else . I'm already thinking of our December '09 trip and I haven't even booked that one yet .


Mandy.....Sorry you're feeling bummed out . I hope today is better for you .


BlueSkies........I'm up with my big Disney cup filled with my morning coffee . It was normal time this morning of 5:15 .....still early but a little better than 4:30 . No rest for the weary is right .


Siobhan.....Glad you're feeling better today . How's that new Tahoe ???


You gals are cracking me up with all your luggage for 5 days .

Hi to everyone else .


Deb

 

[tete01830]

Hi Deb! My new Tahoe is great! I cant believe the space and I am getting my exercise when I go shopping because I park the furthest away because I am worried about parking that sucker!!! In time I guess...I have to go to Town Hall today and I am worried because the space there are small and hard to get so I might have to take what I can get! Wish me luck on that! Of coarse I will be hitting Old Navy and Gap because of the friends and family!!! Thanks to a friend that gave it to me, I might very well keep them in business! I am also going to the outlets this weekend...Wrentham for all you Mass people! I cant wait....Room for the bags and the kids and whatever else I want in there!

I might take Kristen's approach on the packing...What a great idea! I am only going for 6 days...we shall see how many luggage's I have! Did I ever tell you my first trip to WDW with the 2 kids I had 11, yes 11 suitcases, bags and whatever else! It was crazy....I have learned a lot since then!

Mandy I hope today is a better day!!

 

[BlueSkies]

Deb Up at 5:15-I guess you got to sleep in!!!

Tete I guess I missed that you were under the weather...glad to hear youre feeling better

Hope today is better for you too Mandy...

February Gals Are you all going in one limo...are they sending along another car just for your luggage!!! sounds like you'll be bringing a good amount
I'm of the more is better schooll of thought...hate to run out of anything...

 

[Lives4Disney]

Hello! Morning, all!! Guess what I am drinking??? NO! Not a bloody Mary....Kahlua in my coffee!! NOT real Kahlua though...fake...the syrup stuff....MMmmmmm it's good!

Blue Skies...coffee reminds me of muffins...and THANK YOU for directing me to the muffin recipe!

OMG...I am packing light. You heard it here first. I promise. I am. I take a lot of heat for my packing "skills". But, I have been there in that limo with 5 peeps and our luggage for a 2 wk trip and it's ugly....so I am packing light. Once bag, my laptop, and even a smaller swingbag purse...not my usual carry on. That's my plan.

Kristin...I applaud you...but there is no way I could be that organized. God love anybody that is. I should be....but I hate to be...so I'm not. I usually do a bag for each and we live out of them. We place them kind of in unobtrusive areas of the room so it's no biggie. I don't unpack because packing back up is torture. We use the hamper and then all that dirty stuff goes into a new duffle at the end of the trip. I ship a lot home and it all works out. PLUS...at SWA, when I curbside check...no weighing!!! (well except that ONE time when we were almost late to check in for our flight....)Slip him a bunch of cash and beg that my bags get on the right flight and no issues.....


Sheli, ship those treats for the kids home. I hate those Rice Krispie treats...something very funky about them IMO...they are soggy and salty. I make killer ones...so I guess I am picky.

DEb...you poor thing...515!! OMG....now today we all slept in because Lucy didn't get up at 5:30 and NEITHER DID I!!! OMG.....it was the 6 am rush to catch the 6:08 bus....and she made it! That gets your blood puming in the morning!!!

Siobhan I am glad you're feeling better!!!!! You crack me up with the shopping/parking/room for the bags!!!! You go, girl!!! Have fun!!! I love my ON hoodie!!!!

TTYL...have to get Jo on the bus!!!

PS...Mandy feel better soon!!

Dawn...omg.....

Hello Blue!
Well I posted yesterday that my cold was kicking my butt but I got a terrible migraine late yesterday and it really did me in! My kids were wonderful! I told my husband the next time I speak ill of them remind me of this day! They would come to me and say, "Mummy, is there anything we can get you?" DS came to me later and said, "Mummy, are you sure there is nothing we can get you to make you feel more better?" It was soooo cute!

Did I ever tell you I love Thursdays?? I don't have to take DD to school because I do a car pool and it is great!

 

[tete01830]

See another reason they should have vodka in the lounge....Bloody Mary's! Yumm-O!

 

[mickeynut1]

Siobhan........OMG.......when I was reading your post I had to say to myself..."Is she talking about ME????" . I get slack from my kids EVERY DAY about where I park . I went somewhere with a friend of mine and when I pulled into a spot (WAY OUT from everybody else taking up TWO spots) she looked at me and said "you're kidding right??" . She said I should have just left the truck at home and walked to the store . I am so anal about where I park that I get made fun of all the time . I'm so worried about door dings that I walk clear across parking lots if I can have my lonely truck sitting all by itself where nobody will bother it . Everybody always tells me "it's just a truck"......which I do understand but for some reason doesn't seem to matter . But I love the extra space too . DH has an extended cab pickup so we always have that for large things.....but shopping packages can't go in the back of his truck......so that's when the need to remove my 3rd row seat comes into play .


BlueSkies......I did get to sleep in this morning....an extra 45 minutes . I don't know where these days are going.....it was just Monday and the week was just starting........now tomorrow is already Friday again . The days are just zipping by . I like your theory on the packing . I ALWAYS overpack.....especially since I don't know what I'll want to wear when......so I take so many extra clothes "just in case" . And we always ship our souvies home so there's never a worry of our suitcases being overweight . But then that isn't always a good thing because I have no discipline when it comes to shopping at Disney .


Hope everyone enjoys their day .

See another reason they should have vodka in the lounge....Bloody Mary's! Yumm-O!

I LOVE BLOODY MARYS!!!!! Almost as much as Margaritas!!! But I like mine with a lot of Tobasco, peppered rim, no lime, green olives.....

I saw they sell Jose Cuervo margaritas in the cooler at Gaspies!!!

 

[tete01830]

Can we order those and have them delivered to the lounge?? Does the bar do delivery! Please tell me yes...Well tell me there open in the AM!!

 

[mickeynut1]

Hello! Morning, all!! Guess what I am drinking??? NO! Not a bloody Mary....Kahlua in my coffee!! NOT real Kahlua though...fake...the syrup stuff....MMmmmmm it's good!


The fake stuff isn't any fun.....you gotta have the real stuff to start your day off right .



DEb...you poor thing...515!! OMG....now today we all slept in because Lucy didn't get up at 5:30 and NEITHER DID I!!! OMG.....it was the 6 am rush to catch the 6:08 bus....and she made it! That gets your blood puming in the morning!!!


How you ever get Lucy up at 6:00, ready and out the door to catch the bus in 8 minutes is beyond me . There are days (like today for instance ) that I say to myself that I should get up at 5:00 to give myself more time to deal with everybody.......and here you are getting up and one of yours out the door in 8 minutes . That for sure calls for the REAL stuff in your coffee .

They aren't open...but hey...maybe the Grand Floridian Cafe?!!?!?!? I bet we could order from PD??? They'd deliver to the lounge. Sounds GREAT to me!!!

Siobhan....my friend Sheila got a better fare on her SWA Feb flights...I am gonna see what is up on SWA...you guys better get a flight....I am worried you won't.

Deb! I don't know how we did it .....She said...I'll miss the bus..and I said TRY!!! And she did...she got dressed, did her hair and teeth and I ran down and put all her stuff (LOTS OF STUFF) and her jacket by the front door, turned the hall light on so the bus driver would see THERE IS LIFE in our house and stop and wait!!!

She never eats bfast so that is not an issue.....bad I know but she doens't...

Jojo is my huge breakfast eater. She likes the full grand slam bfast daily....she is a dink around in the morning though....

Ya....where's my real stuff??? You're right...I am overdue for it.
