[Lives4Disney]

or both!

I can do that! I am a multi tasker!!!

 

[princessesrule4]

WE ARE!!! Siobhan and SHeli and Kelly are all flying together out from Boston!! I am flying BY MYSELF!! But hopefully (YES I am still hoping) with Dawn from Chicago. We arrive late at MCO and are using my SPG pts for a free night at Swan. So we can be there...spend some MK time and check in at the GF....did you get your return flight switched, WEndy?!?! We still have the same returns....all about 445 ish.

DAwn!! Hope things went well for you today!! WE have been thinking about you & crossing fingers...saying prayers...sending good positive thoughts. FYI....we switched our flight to Wed night.....SWA has a 630 departure that arrives at MCO at 10 pm. You could do that!!! I KNOW YOU COULD!!!!

Mare, so.....did you see OPrah today? LOL...it even made KRISTIN blush!!!!! OMG.....

Here's ONE last pic....I gave Jo these matching pjs and Kelly sent her the divalicious AG chair....she and Ivy are ready to slumber PARTY!!

I am getting READY!! I am sorta dreading it......LOL.

Chan

Chan - No! There are no flights w/ FF miles on Monday but I check everyday and will keep checking! Somebody's got to cancel...

Cute jammies! My DD has the matching girl/doll Snowflake pjs!

Are you having fun yet?

 

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

....they were almost like a bunch of goofy old ladies going to WDW by themselves for the first time.

HEY! I resemble that remark!!!

Ok- silly emily story:
Em sees Jojo on the screen and wants to know who the little girl is, so I told her, "Channings daughter Jojo."
"Does she talk?" emily wants to know.
"humm, no" (I am thinking does she talk to us on the Dis?)
Em says without missing a beat "That's ok if she's shy...maybe she will talk next time." wth? My 3yo wants internet friends!!!
Then she saw the cake and wants to know if Jojo is a princess. No Em, she just thinks she is just like you. (I guess only princesses get fancy cakes )
And of course then we saw Kristins castle pics..."yup..that is Jojo's house!!!"

So happy Birthday Jojo- you are now a princess and live in the castle (according to one internet saavy small child who can scroll by herself!)

Are you having fun yet?

Jojo has those just for her doll! And NO...I am NOT having fun. OK...so they have been here an hour and a half....they have to wear themselves out. THey've done freeze dance....got Tatum all wound up and running circles around the family room....they've already had one wounded....(just a cut on the thumb)...and probably totally TRASHED Jojo's room...I am scared to look. Not fun yet. Maybe it will get better?!?!?

Keep checking those flights!!! GEt lucky!

HEY! I resemble that remark!!!

IT SO FITS!!!! YOU WEAR IT WELL!!!!!

Ok- silly emily story:
Em sees Jojo on the screen and wants to know who the little girl is, so I told her, "Channings daughter Jojo."

OMG Shel that is soooo flippin" funny!!! I love the "Does she talk?" OH YEAH..right thru the screen....it's called Skype. That is sooo funny. Aw...yeah...my princess Jojo.....running thru the house smelling really BAD in those polyester jammies...... OH...well if Jojo lives in the castle I get to, too, right? I am the queen then?? Isn't that how it works?

TTYL!!! I HOPE!!!

Well seeing Kristen's pictures reminded me that I never posted some of my pictures! I have some really good ones of the main building...

Here is some of SL

 

[hobbester]

Kristin and Channing thank you for sharing your pictures, they are so good. Channing, I saw some of the beginning of Oprah today - I had to walk away, I mean really after 24 years of marriage.

I told my DH that I will book V&A's for our November trip and he is very happy - then he says "try to get the Chef's Table", I need to stop telling him about all of these things. Thank you all for the reviews, it will be along time before I can book, so I'll tell you how it goes - Lisa.

Shel......That is too cute about Emily . I like how she said that Jojo is a princess and lives in the castle .


Chan......I hope you're doing alright with all those girls running around . If not, I hope things get better as they wind down . I love the pic of Jojo in her pjs with her matching AG doll....that is adorable .

[Lives4Disney]

Well seeing Kristen's pictures reminded me that I never posted some of my pictures! I have some really good ones of the main building...

Here is some of SL

Siobhan!!! YOU ARE GETTING ME SO EXCITED TO GO NEXT MONTH!!! I CAN"T WAIT TO SEE THE FLOORS IN the SWAN TOO!!!! I wonder if Marvel took some great pics of the GF and of HRH!!! Can't wait to see what they've done with their floors too

Lisa...LOL I KNOW!! And to make Kristin blush ....we know it was bad!!!! Me...I am totally an Amish prude....but Kristin.... (JK) I think you made the right choice with V&A. I know it's really expensive, but everybody says it's sooo worth it. Good luck booking it.

Well....we are JAMMING to Miley right now. They have a HM microphone...and it's just so lovely....karioki night. I do enjoy Miley though. I have to show Jojo Kristin's pics of Miley in front of the castle.

Hi, Deb! Thanks...Jojo is having lots of fun right about now. I am watching the clock. One friend isn't even here yet...she will be in a bit.....and then it's time to cut the cake and pump them up with more sugar.....

I really want a beer right about now ....but I am not about to do that...I AM responsible...but I can WANT..... A beer and some Advil. And maybe some Xanax......this is worse then I thought it would be....seriously. Lucy said to them though..."I am at your service all night if there's anything you need"...so I have help.

Chan

 

[mickeynut1]

OMG Chan.......I can't believe you're going to cut that beautiful cake .....JK . That cake is awesome . And that is SO SWEET about Lucy !!!!!!! A helper is probably what you need about now (besides a beer and some Advil ). But Jojo and her friends are having a great time and that's what it's all about .

I can't believe you gals added another night onto your trip.....how awesome is that . Gets you in late the night before but you'll be ready to go Thursday morning instead of spending that morning traveling .

Deb, Chan, Kristin, and Vanessa...this weather is sucko!

We have been super duper busy at school this week, now Im busy getting in my applications.

Wait...AMY 13 more days!!!!

ttfn, dawn

 

[mickeynut1]

HEY Dawn......Are you feeling better???? I hope you're on the mend .......have you gotten your voice back????? This weather is definitely SUCKO . We are expected to get more snow over night but not sure how much . And the temps are supposed to drop drastically and be VERY COLD by Monday .....NOT looking forward to that . Good luck on getting a code . I'd love to get one for December but I haven't been one of the lucky ones as of yet . But there is plenty of time so maybe one of these days I'll get a surprise by mail or email ......although I'm not holding my breath . But I am happy for those of you who have gotten one .


Deb

 

[tinklvr64]

Deb! Yes I am better! I took all of my meds like a good patient! Ya this weather is going to be brutal next week....it is snowing again here Im hunkering down for the weekend!
Deb WE NEED A CODE!

 

[mickeynut1]

I'm so glad to hear the meds worked and you're better . Whatever you had hung on for way too long.....glad you're over it . If it's snowing up by you then it's probably heading my way next . I am sick and tired of this weather and I want it to be SPRING . And YES.....we NEED a code!!!!!!

 

[PrincessPaczki]

It is snowing like crazy here and they are calling for up to 8 inches tomorrow. I need a code!!!!! Maybe the warm weather would help me get rid of this nasty cough!

 

[Lives4Disney]

hey, Dawn!

OMG..do not say it's gonna snow a lot tonight.....heaven forbid these girls get snowbound here.

It's 10 pm...they are calmer. Not running thru the house up and down and all over and getting the horse riled up.

I had my Advil with Diet Pepsi an hour ago. It's working.

I am losing steam.

The cake was delish. REALLY good.

Dawn, I got it from a podunk little bfast place here called Around the Clock...they do fabulous cakes. These guys are the ones that made Jojo's puppy sister cakes a couple years ago. Last year they made her a Hannah Montana cake that was GORGEOUS. I can't remember what else they've done...but always spectacular....and YUMMY. Jo chose chocolate with a mouse filling...and it was sooo good.

OK..peeps in my driveway....that is not good at 10 pm...

BRB
Chan

 

[mandymommy4]

I just got home from the Night Owl..... had to take DD3 to the walk in clinic b/c at 6:30 she started wailing and tugging at her ear..... ANOTHER EAR INFECTION! So that makes 3 copays and two prescriptions in one week!

I screwed my diet too..... I was starving by the time I got done at the pharmacy and got a greasy big and nasty at McD's and large shake!

Chan I am LOL at your xanax comment..... reminded me to go take my happy mommy pill!

Siobhan Nice pictures of the rugs! You don't have any of the rug inside your room????



Kristin~ you have a seriously cute family! Your DS is a little cutie! You don't believe in arranged marriages, do you??? JK I love how ya'll dressed a little nicer for the MVMCP, the pictures look so much nicer!

Mare I told ya Tusker House was good! DH tells me at least once a month he wants to go back. When I was making my ADRs (in sept 07 for our March 08 trip ) WE had to wait b/c they were not booking...... i called back every few days and actually got to make our ADRS on the first day they were booking! The lady that I talked too recognized my voice and laughed and said well i am glad you can stop calling us now! I was so relieved to hear that Kevin gave it his blessing before we actually dined there!

Night ladies, I am need of some serious Z'sss!

 

[Lives4Disney]

Mandy I am sorry about DD!! That hurts!!

it's all calm here now .....they are in their sleeping bags watching the Tinkerbelle movie.....and I am ready to crash and burn. I feel like I took a Xanax.

Last year it was 25 girls...this year 8, but then 2 12 yr olds and 2 18 yr olds to "help".....I thought it would be MUCH better....but it wasn't. I think having a January bday is tough because the kids have been stuck indoors for so long and they are WILD and WOUND. I was saying to myself...WHY DIDN"T I LIMIT IT TO 4?!!?!?!

Hey Mandy,...we call those the "Lean and Healthies".....LOL. Z likes them.

My diet was blown too....pizza and that cake was to die for...yummola. Tomorrow is another day....

Yeah I know!! Siobhan's pics have me stoked for more floor action. that would make an AMAZING scrapbook. Floor shots from all over WDW.

OK...ttyl....

Chan (where's the yawning vegged out smiley)

 

[Maxie86]

Chan: It's morning, did you make it through the night? That cake looks yummy, send me a piece please. Love the pic of JoJo with her AG doll. Sounds like she had a good party.

Mandy: Hope your DD feels better soon.

Kristin: Great pics thanks for posting.

I want a code too. Hope all of us that didn't get one will get one soon.

I don't feel like doing anything today, but I have to at least do some laundry and go to Target. Getting more snow tonight. I want spring.
69 days until spring.

 

[tete01830]

Good Morning!!! Well today I could have slept but I was up at 7??? Grrrr!!! Another Grrr is that we were only suppose to get a few inches tonight into tomorrow but now we are getting close to a foot! It always makes me cringe when more than one weather person says. "And you all in the Northern Essex county (that's me and Kel) are going to get slammed!" Great...thanks!

Chan this one is for Lucy..I know she likes the designs...It was in a AK bathroom...Can you imagine the other people in the bathroom going why does this crazy lady taking pictures in the bathroom!

 

[Lcaemom]

Good morning ladies...

I got up early to ...in peace. Hope it stays that way for a little longer. I figured I'd catch up and then continue my TR but, it's taken me so long to catch up...even from just yesterday...that you'd never know I'd been up for so long. I'm crossing my fingers that I have a better weekend than week. This week has been horrible...my work computer finally crashed yesterday...completely dead but, that wasn't determined until I pulled all my hair out here at home and then took a trip to the office and sat with the IT people for two more hours. I now have a loner and they said my new, new computer will be done by Monday or Wednesday...not holding my breath but, I'm really hoping for that. Last night, I went to finish up a load of laundry and realized that the dishwasher, which is right above the laundry room, had leaked all over the washing machine and the laundry...I rewashed the laundry...maybe too much at once, and it wouldn't spin out the water...after trying to spin the load multiple times...it was no drier so, I gave up...thinking I'd put it off til tomorrow/now today and try again. I also thought, I'd better stop spinning it because I may burn out the motor...maybe it too, had a bad week and was just tired and it needed a good night sleep?!? Anyways, just started it up...hoping it got plenty of rest!
I'll deal with the dishwasher once everyone gets up...too much noise and I don't want anyone waking up until I've finished here and finished my coffee.
Is there an Eeyore button...that is who I felt like last night!!! I came up and went to bed...

So, now I'm up...thinking positive...planning to move on with the weekend. I need to email my neighbor and let her know if we are in, on a neighborhood summer trip to Myrtle Beach. I would be 100% yes, if the day they are planning to leave, we were not coming back from our yearly camping trip...we've done every year for ??? years, with our families. Every year it gets bigger...last year, we had 21 people and this year, there is already talk of more, than that. I look so forward to that but, once the week is over, I'm ready to come home...GET CLEAN, put everything away, do all the laundry and sleep in my own bed...after sleeping in a tent for a week. I'm such a GF girl but, I love my tent camping, too. Anyways, the thought of coming home and then packing up to spend another week out of the house seems daunting...I just can't imagine how that is going to work. The day we come home from camping/leave for Myrtle Beach is my 40th Bday. ... If I could pick anything to do for my bday...it would not be to spend a week in Myrtle Beach...it is probably very nice...but, my thought would be to do WDW, of course!!! With the talk of all these 40% off codes, I kindof want to hold out to see if we get one...but, my neighbor needs an answer TODAY. I really want to go, my girls REALLY want to go, my DH REALLY wants to go...but, hello what man wouldn't want to go and golf for a week?!? I don't know what to tell my neighbor...

Tete01830 I didn't end up at the Rack. But, I did end up at JCP...found 10 shirts...Thank God!!! I needed shirts and got some great deals!!! Anytime you're thinking about the Rack, just let me know!!!
Loved your floor shots!!! I took some pictures in a lobby of a hotel, once before...thinking I need to take these so, that I can remember how it was decorated...this was before digital...I have no idea where they went. Are you planning on redecorating???
The ice cream shoppe is called Goodies, it is right in Danvers Square...so cute and great ice cream!

Cinderumbrella Love all of your pictures!!! When we were you at WDW? We were there the 6-14th. You're going again in June...and December?!? I'm so jealous!!!

Channing Love Jojo's cake...and the PJs!!! So cute! Hope you survived!!! Will you be done with sleepovers for awhile??? Two weekends in a row...tonight will definately be time for that beer!!!

Mass Girls More snow!!! I've been hearing 6-10 inches!!! Just hoping everything gets cancelled...the girls have games this weekend in Wilmington and Tewksbury, as well as here.

GF Girls Looking forward to hearing all the details of your trip. How many of you are going? How long do you go for? Sounds like heaven... Hoping you keep us all updated and post LOTS of pictures!
