It was to be a SURPRISE trip, but I blew it May 2012 PTR (New May 9 )

[Grumpy's Wife]

A new car is always fun. Congratulations! Now if they could just bottle that new car smell.

Your last three weeks will fly by. It will be Disney time before you know it.

for 3 weeks and the new car! And a for buying American! (being from the Motor City I have to acknowledge that )

I can hardly believe it's coming up so quickly! Jasmine was the one that liked the look of the Honda, I am a Chevy girl, I have never owned anything that isn't a chevy! I believe in buying domestic and would never think to buy anything else. I actually thought of you guys and how buying domestic has a direct link to Dale's job too

Congrats on the car!! I can't believe it's 3 weeks away yay!!!

Thanks Megan....I can't either! I really should have stayed home yesterday and got some things done but I went to my sister's instead! Turned out we did take a look at some stuff and I maybe be changing some of my ADRs!

Yay for 3 weeks! Hopefully time won't go too fast when you're there.

Thanks I hope you're right. I told Jasmine that we'll take in every waking minute so it feels longer

Joining in! I want to do a mother and daughter trip with my own mother some day! Sorry about the surprise, but thrilled she was so excited!

Welcome and thanks for popping over! Some of our best memories are our past mother daughter trips! I hope you get one in for yourselves!

Hey! Congrats on the new car! Haven't been car shopping for a while, but I was surprised that you'd pick a Chevy over a Honda. Times have definitely changed!

Thanks Before we ever left the house, I had my heart set on the Cruze....after I test drove it last year I was sold! Its a great car

 

[Queenofallthings]

Woot, 3 weeks! So very exciting when a trip is getting so much closer and it does seem like its coming up fast from a reader's perspective, but I'm sure the trip will drag out nice and long for you two to enjoy Disney together

But WAIT, what is this? A NEW CAR! That's awesome. Congrats! I can't wait to see pictures!

I sure hope you/re right! We could stay for a month and I would want more time....

I should have taken the pictures yesterday when it was a beautiful day...today is overcast and not nice at all

Yay, new car! That's so exciting.

I can't believe your trip is three weeks away. I wish I was going too. One day, we will meet in WDW.

It is exciting, I sit and stare at it out the window Pathetic on many levels but hopefully will wear off so I can get some things accomplished around here!

I wish you were going too We definitely will be meeting up in the World someday!

Congrats on being three weeks away and the new car. The Cruze is a pretty vehicle and I looked at it when I was buying. (Ended up with a Silverado).

Thank you for buying American. I know you're Canadian, but my family appreciates it. They make the interiors for American made cars.

I am so happy you said pretty! I think its gorgeous too! Your welcome! My pleasure! Have to help our Canadian economy too (Windsor Ontario is the Canadian equivalent to Detroit for vehicles and we have friends that rely on us buying domestic) Ohhhhh, Silverado is a beautiful truck, I love those!

-45 in Winnipeg...never!

Congrats on the car! Turbo..you better be careful with that now speedy.

I know...hard to believe but it happens occasionally

I made sure it had cruise control cause I have had my fair share of speeding tickets. We were driving home from taekwondo one evening, Jasmine was about 11 and we could see police lights up ahead of us. Someone had hit a deer so I told her to not look and she said oh, I thought you were getting another speeding ticket....guilty...what could I say

Three weeks is great! It will be here before we know it!

Congrats on the new car. We looked at the Cruze several weeks ago while we were debating what to do for our newly turned 16 year old, and our older daughter who's about to leave for college. I think it's a good-looking car!

Thanks Everyone in the dealership thought I was buying it for my daughter so I had to set them straight. Trust me tho, she will drive it more than I do. I work downtown so it/s faster and cheaper for me to take the bus....for her free parking and not a great bus schedule so works better that way!

Congrats on the new car!
I would LOVE to have a remote starter!

Thanks Amy I have a feeling now that I have one, I will always have to have one!

 

[Queenofallthings]

YAY for only 3 weeks away And congrats on the new car too thats so exciting!!

I have been a bad DISer and haven't been on much lately, but just read all through your PTR

My mom and I just went for a mother-daughter girls trip in January when I did the marathon and we had SO much fun just enjoying each others company. I wish we had been able to do that years ago before college and all, but its so great to have that time together!! I think you are going to have so much fun on your girls trip!!

I LOVE POP!! Its our home away from home!!

Thanks hon! That happens to me all the time, sometimes I'm not on at all during the week because I have too many other things going on!

I think they are just the best! It gives you time together that we don't always take the time to have!

I am really excited about going back....we were checking out all the pictures on line and the menus at the resort!

Queen, I can't believe how fast the trip is coming up. And congrats on the new car...I love the smell of new cars.

Thanks Kathy I can't believe it's under 3 weeks now! I have a feeling this week will whiz by as the end/beginning of the month is a very busy time in the banking world!

I'm with you....it's a great smell!

Caught up on your memory lane pictures. MM is so cute in her miss canada outfit. Love all the pics of Jas. Congrats on the new car! Isn't that fun????? I am a new car every 6 years type person, so for me its always a big event! Enjoy!

Isn't she adorable in that picture...Jasmine and I were going over pics from when she was little and remembering how she would get up from her nap and just want to snuggle...those were the days!

It is fun! I'm with you....usually every 5 years for us but this year I got one a year early

Oooohhh congratulations on the new car!! Sounds like a beauty!

And YAY for under three weeks today!

Thanks...it's quite lovely! Under 3 weeks....yup,...you're right, I better get some things accomplished today!

A new car!
What game show does that remind you of?
Congrats - very exciting!
20 sleeps now?
Yeah!!!!!!

Let's Make a Deal I love that show when I was a kid!

I am going to start a list for each day before we go....I think that will get everything done and no stress for me...Wishful thinking?

 

[Queenofallthings]

Your last three weeks will fly by. It will be Disney time before you know it.

Wouldn't that be great! I love new car smell!

You are so right! I was lying in bed yesterday morning and heard what will be our flight take off (we back onto one of the runways) and I thought that's gonna be us before I know it!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Congratulations on your new car! What a great way to distract you from time...being at home and jetting around town (and taking any last minute shopping trips) will be extra enjoyable!

Changes to ADRs? do tell.

 

[dvc4life]

Wow this trip is coming up fast. It is so exciting to know you will be heading there soon.

And congrats on the new car. How fun.

 

[amazingact21]

Congrats on the new car!!! Seeing a new car parked in front of your house is such a great feeling. And, personally, I love Chevys, so I think you made a great choice!

 

[PirateKate]

New cars are the best! How exciting!

 

[shan23877]

Congrats on the new car! How exciting!

Less than 3 weeks away from the trip! So happy for you girls. Loved the old pictures of you ladies at Pop. Can't wait for the TR!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

A new car is so much fun! Enjoy it!

Ahhh yes...why can't we have that new car smell all the time. Love it!

I'm feeling the same as you are...time is flying by...but I'm not complaining!
I have First Aid training all this weekend so next weekend we have to get packed.
Luckily I'm not going for very long this time so it should take no time at all.
I will be so happy to be in Florida and see those palm trees!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

I've lost count - how close now? (happy dancing for you, btw)

Thanks my friend I am loving my new car....I've never loved any of my cars, but this one!!!!

I was contemplating changing our ADR at Coral Reef....it was our best meal a couple of trips ago but it doesn't look like they have what I ordered on the menu anymore and I am just not sure! Will have to look at it this weekend...I'll keep you posted!

Wow this trip is coming up fast. It is so exciting to know you will be heading there soon.

And congrats on the new car. How fun.

Too fast....thank goodness we have this weekend to get all last minute shopping out of the way!

Thanks

Thanks hon! It is such a great feeling, I'm forever looking out the front window at it! Me too...it's my favorite car...however, there was a gorgeous new Land Rover that I would have preferred

New cars are the best! How exciting!

They sure are!

Congrats on the new car! How exciting!

Less than 3 weeks away from the trip! So happy for you girls. Loved the old pictures of you ladies at Pop. Can't wait for the TR!

Thanks hon!

I can't wait to write it and I'm so happy you enjoyed those "old" pics! Hard to believe that was 6 years ago!

A new car is so much fun! Enjoy it!

Ahhh yes...why can't we have that new car smell all the time. Love it!

Thank you....so far I haven't even burned a half a tank and I've had it a week today

The only thing I keep thinking is that I hope time doesn't fly by this quickly when we're there! Oh well, we always make the most of our days and evenings so that makes for a longer time too!

We are both home this weekend, she works next weekend and then we're gone! We will be up and on the road doing our last minute errands by 9am Saturday!

I can't wait to see those palm trees either

 

[Queenofallthings]

I've lost count - how close now? (happy dancing for you, btw)

You crack me up!!! We have 16 days left! Can you believe it? I'm actually not even that stressed...I have quite a bit accomplished so far

 

[snowwhitesmom]

(Talking to myself.....) "Geesh, self - if you looked at Queen's ticker you wouldn't lose track of how close the trip is - what a dweeb you are, self!"
Carry on -
Oh - more happy dancing

 

[Sam33]

So I was back reading one of your previous TRs and I just have to say, how the heck does your daughter look good in EVERY picture she's in no matter what?
She had a mouth full of food and still looked cute!

Gosh I'm glad you're my friend....you make me laugh!

Are you annoyed Sam...cause I feel the same way The kid is so darn photogenic it makes me sick (is that wrong for a mother to say). One of her friends is a photography whiz and he has often used her for his portfolio. Me, I drive her where he tells me to

I've missed chatting but I know where my butt is every night and I'm sure yours is in the same place....on our couches watching the playoffs That triple o/t the other night there just about killed me....need to catch up on my sleep!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Glad I make you laugh! Everybody has to be good at something and up until now I thought that the only thing I was good at was holding up the line at the supermarket for various reasons - can't find my coupon, forgot the pin code for the debit card, ran back to get peanut butter....yup, that's me - the woman who is good at holding up the supermarket line and annoying the bejeebers out of of anyone behind her - but now, I am apparently good at making you laugh - I am so proud of me!
Your trip is only 16 days away!(See? I actually read your ticker! I am so proud of me AGAIN!)
Seriously, though - you must be beyond excited!

meanwhile, I have to spend 5 minutes and about 30 frames making my chin look human!

Call me crazy..but I was hoping that game went to 4OT! haha. They were so tired at the end. You could tell in their skating. Luckily the anticipation makes up for the poor hockey.
I'm so bummed so far, though. Only one of the series' is going the way I want it And my Blues are pretty much eliminated. I can't even pick a good bandwagon let alone a hockey team! haha


P.S. I saw a Cruz today! CUTE car. I like it

Well, like you said, everyone has to be good at something and that's your something! My ticker now says 14 days.....14 days,....can you speak Beyond excited and have a full weekend planned of preparing for the trip!

I guess I confused my little darling because when I read your last post to her she said Oh I can#t wait to meet her I had to break it to her that you won#t be there the same time as us (my computer is acting up again...crazy thing).

I can honestly tell you the only series I watch religiously is Philly! I am so sorry about your Blues, I was sure they had this series in the bag
