[PrincessPaczki]

Is the code supposed to come out today? I don't know why but I remember reading on the code thread something about the 13th. Keep us posted if you find out. Thanks

Thank you HCTS for saying that!

This is for some of my GF friends: I am not the only one that like to vacuum, LOL

NOW, Herecomethesun Do you get giddy when you plug up the vacuum? (Please say yes)

BTW, I LOVE TV! I watch Grays, ER, Desperate housewives, LOST, The Office, HEROES, um and many more I am sure! LOL! (my fave) I never watch TV except at night and weekends so I TIVO it all! I am ticked that I have to wait till January for LOST, WTH

Hi Mandy I laughed so hard when I read this, Dniece(hcts)used to think I was a little crazy w/my vacuum obsession until she got her own home now she's busy wearing out her own vacuum....Oreck is my favorite...so far its held up the longest!!!!I will practically be vacuuming out the door as we leave for our trip

Just tried to change some of our ADR's for upcoming trip-but I guess since out trip will overlap free dining moving things around is just about impossible Tutto Italia sounded really good....and we've never tried Le Cellier either and so far on this trip it looks we still won't...We always make ADR's (like to plan ahead) but also like flexibility depending on crowds, weather etc...so a little advice to all those going during free dining have plenty ADR's...

Have a question about the choosing a pearl in EPCOT...sounds like fun especially for DD and Dgreatniece,are there cute settings available and how long does it take to get them set....I think this would be a great trip momento

Hi, we always do the pearl thingy....my girls have pearls coming out their ears. THey set them in the sterling silver which is really quite inexpensive considering it's Disney and all, too! They have rings, pendants - dolphins, butterflies, flowers, clovers...Japanese characters for things like happiness, love, etc....there are alos some nice simple sterling ring settings and basic pendant settings, too. THe new thing we saw is cell phone charm settings.

Once you pay your $16 for the ticket to select a pearl, they hand you a number card. It usually only takes a few minutes to have the number called and select your oyster. Then the difficult decision begins....which setting. ONce you decide and pay they usually tell you to return in 20-30 minutes to pick up your jewelry. The tough part is the setting.

I didn't see a lot there that I personally liked....they need more IMO...but the girls always manage to nake themselves happy.

ENJOY!!!

Thanks Channing as always for the terrific info...I think the girls will really like this. DD(16) loves sterling silver and Dgreatniece(6) will want whatever big cousin likes....I didnt realize they had so many things to choose from, thought it was just necklaces....this is going to be on our must do list

Andrea, it's right in Mitsukoshi (OMG>.hope i didn't butcher that word) dept store...go in past the Hello Kitty stuff...we always get sidetracked there haha....and then past the munchichis...another side track...it's right there you can't miss it...it's where the crowd is lol. Not too far into the store.

It's fun...I am sure they are not high quality pearls but they are pretty. Lucy got a silver one and a pink one last time. The silver looked like a Tahitian pearl! The pink was pale pink and pretty. Jojo got hersellf a jumbo 8.5 mm and then twins!!

Just when I thought I was doing so well...the extendable handle on Alex's suitcase does not extend anymore. Looks like I am buying him a new suitcase tomorrow! And darn it, his was the fully packed one! GRRR!

Oh well, he's a kid, he gets a crummy Wal-Mart one until he learn to take care of it. Obviously he has not done that so far.

3 kids 100% done (other than above issue)
Me 90%
final kid maybe 50%...need to shop for him...how does a kid only own 4 pairs of shorts and not mention it? Geez boys...there are 4 of you...speak up...squeaky wheel theory here!!!

7 days!!!

 

[PrincessPaczki]

Good morning ladies (and gents), ladies, I am going to the mall today and I need some suggestions for a new fragrance. I would like to have something new for our trip in a few days. I am so tired of the same ones. Any suggestions? What do you wear? Thanks!

 

[Alicnwondrln]

Good Morning everyone

I am very simple when it comes to perfume preference - I tend to like much lighter scents. My fave is Jessica McClintock!

Morning all ~ I had a horrible nights sleep last night, ended up on the couch b/c DH snoring was outrageous and then the a dumb cricket would not shut up........ so needless to say I am not too chipper!

On a happy note our passes are good this weekend ~

Good morning girls. Well with all of this running around I have caught a cold or sinus infection or something. All I know is that I feel like crap.

I love Estee Lauder Pleasures and have worn if for years.

Hope everyone has a good day! I need to get caught up at work.

I think we are 9 or 10 days out and I haven't even THOUGHT about packing. Eeek! I am an up-all-night-the-night-before kind of gal too!

That stinks! Hope you feel better soon.

I have to back to school shop today for school supplies and I am NOT looking forward to it. A bunch of moms and crazy kids packed into a tiny aisle at Target is not my idea of fun

Thanks for being up and at 'em again today Kel to check on our codes!!

Have a Grand Day

I am so allergic to that perfume, I LOVE the smell, but I get a rash that it is unbelievable!!!
