I'm thankful for...MICKEY!!! My Thanksgiving '08 TR!: TR Update, Last Day!

[jordanyosh]

When I got home from work today, I had a walk date with my cousin Sarah (from my Oct trip). Every Monday evening, we talk on the phone (she's in Chicago and I'm in PHoenix) while we walk our dogs for a half hour.

So I rushed in from work, changed my shoes, said hello to DH, who was cleaning the pool in the back yard. He had just fired up the grill to cook us some dinner. Then I made the terrible mistake of locking the Arcadia door behind me when I came back in the house. Then I left the house. For a half hour. With DH still in the back yard with no key and no cell phone to call me and tell me.

DH was a little upset with me when I got back.

Fortunately, he got over it quickly!

Oops!

I'm such an airhead sometimes!

[SwansLoveDisney]

Yep, that's exactly how I felt!

Neither of us can stay mad or hold a grudge very long.

That helps me out a lot because I often do things like the lock out!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oops about locking DH out of the house!

Bright side: you were only gone for 30 minutes -- it could have been much longer!

 

[Native NYer]

At least it wasn't raining. Glad he got over it quickly.

Yep, 30 minutes is a perfect amount of time to get the pool nice and clean!

Nope, no rain here in the desert. But it was 98 degrees yesterday! I'm so not ready for another Phoenix summer!

See! It was totally meant to be . He might have been distracted from cleaning the pool if he had been able to go back inside!

98 degrees

Just think, you'll never have to shovel snow.

And you're close to the original house of the Mouse How long is the drive to DL?

You are so right! I just did us both a favor by locking him out!

(Let's hope he doesn't read that!)

Yep, no snow and beautiful autumns, winters, and springs. (I just have to keep telling myself that all summer!)

We are so close to DL. I think it's a 5 hour drive. And can you believe I have NEVER been there?!? We've been in Phoenix 2.5 years and no DL yet. I was very prejudiced against DL until October, when I went in Walt Disney: One Man's Dream at DHS. After that attraction, I have a whole new respect for DL. I've been on a crusade to get to DL since then. We were SUPPOSED to go in April (DH, two friends, and I), but somehow those plans were changed to going to a waterpark in Texas this summer.

Okay, I'm done with that rant!

You should visit at least once. It's so small and intimate. It's magical, but in a different way than WDW.

I'm so jealous you have a pool -- DH lived in Arizona for a little bit growing up (his dad's company moved him around quite a bit), and he said that lots of the homes have pools.

I would love to have one! I would totally spend my summer beside it!

Visiting DL is my goal before we move back to Chicago. So that gives me 1.5 years to accomplish the goal. I think I can! I think I can!

That was a condition I put on our move to AZ...when DH was offered the transfer, I said I would only move here if our house had a pool!

So we bought a house without a pool and had one built! I think our house was one of the only houses in the neighborhood that didn't have a pool.

I swim in the pool every day in the summer.

You can visit more than once

 

[jordanyosh]

And just think when you're out here...you can hang out with me...Oh the pictures we could come up with

I'll be in Phoenix in late August. I'm staying with Wendy and Derek at the Kierland Westin.

When we were there last July 4th it was about 117.

You should stay at the Disneyland Hotel while you are there!

Do I smell a Phoenix Dis meet?

This may be a dumb question, but is the Kierland Westin at Kierland Commons? I love that place!

I just need to find someone to drag with me to DL and the most fabulous photoshoot in history will commence!
