It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

[Lady Lallie]

Oooohh...a Mega update! That's even better than a standard update, which are always good! Now I have something to look forward to, as DH has been gone all weekend (golf tournament and walleye fishing-he has a rough life, huh?) and DDs and I are getting on each others' nerves just a bit!

Oooo....a MEGA UPDATE!!!!

I can't wait...

I can't believe how quickly time is going by! I am SO EXCITED for you!

I hope the Mega Update lives up to your expectations!!

I haven't read any of the Bubbles books but I believe they go in order. I love her books, they are so great. I loved "The Cinderella Pact" too. I think that's what it was called. So funny, I laughed so much reading her books!

Oh, I thought that it was one of the Bubbles books that I had seen in a pic a while back of your lovely VB bag. She does have quite a few. I am definitely planning on reading more! My recent favorite book I read was Eat, Love, Pray. I even recommended it to a patient of mine and she came in the other day saying that it changed her life! Highly recommend it!

I know I was talking about the Bubbles books on here. I had gotten one out from the library but just haven't had time to read it yet.
I have heard of Eat, Love, Pray but haven't read it, thanks for the suggestion!

A mega-update!? Yee-haw! That will ease what I call the "Sunday night dread." I really have to find a job that I don't hate!

I hate Sunday Night Dread! Thought I don't mind my job, I still have it on most Sundays, some worse than others.

That makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who has it. Although boy, oh, boy do I hate my job! But on the bright side it does allow me to be able to afford a trip to WDW so I will be grateful for that!

Yes, that is true. Okay, I'll try to have some patience.

My OCD has reached it's peak. I, LL, have made a list today planning out my outfits. Yes. I actually committed this list to paper. My list mania is completely out of control. Not only did I make a list of the outfits I will be wearing, I made a list of Day and Evening outfits, as I plan to change during our mid-afternoon breaks. I totally plan to type out this list and put it in my suitcase. It will make for easier mornings for LL. I also made a list of the last minute things I need to pack, hair spray, hair brushes, etc.

Also, one of my pair of capris doesn't fit, I knew they were going to be iffy as I have had them for years and years, so I have decided that we might have to do laundry while on vacation. I filled two little 3oz travel bottles with detergent in ziploc bags, double bagged of course and threw in a few dryer sheets. One less thing I have to buy down there. TK - I have dropps envy now. No cute dropps for LL.

I am really trying to not over pack, as I didn't wear half the stuff I packed for the cruise. I am trying very hard to stick to the list with only a few extras. DH also agreed to do the laundry when we have too since I've done so much planning. Thank you DH! I also went to Kmart, as it's the only "chain" like store in my town and bought some travel size space saver bags. I am not quite sure if they really save room or not. I also think my clothes are going to be a wrinkled mess when I get to Florida. Do I care? Not really. According to the Pop thread there is an iron and ironing board, think I can guilt DH into ironing for me too?

I really wanted to get the packing done this weekend but I ran into a snag. I knew it was going to happen, I don't know why I am so surprised, apparently I thought clothes would magically appear in my closet. A lot of the shirts that I plan to bring, like my polo's, I wear to work. Therefore, I can't really pack them yet. I did pack all the little tank tops I wear underneath them. I can go tank-less this week. I might just dig out some old clothes for work but I am very funny in that if I don't want to wear something, I will be very cranky if I have too. Yes, my emotional age is sometimes 2. That's why I have such a hard time packing, even though I never wear that Navy Blue tank top, I might want too in Disney. I just can't predict how I will feel next week.

DH & I went to The Dollar Tree yesterday....$45 later.... My goodness, do I love The Dollar Tree. I bought some unnecessary things but I had fun, that's what counts right? We had to buy some of those disposable metal pans for the kitty water & food and also as an extra litter box. By the way, MIL is coming over ONCE while we are gone to check on the kitties. Sigh.

Other fun things we bought!
Covers for our Ipods.

Mine is the pink, I chose the lime green for DH. Mine has a tinted pink screen on it and DH's has a clip on the back which I am jealous of.

I also bought 10 Disney Figures. Why? No idea. They were a $1 and they are cute. I had one that I bought on a previous trip to The Dollar Tree so now my collection is at 11. I figure I will bring them to put in our window at Pop. How's that for justification?

We also bought 2 of the magic Disney wash cloths. These are for DH's sweatage in the parks. They are more absorbent, we will carry them in ziplocs so they won't taint the Vera. They are pictured with the cheapo ponchos and plackers we got at Target. Gotta stay dry and have clean teeth after all of that Free Dining!

I went to Petco to pick up a few new kitty toys. The fuzzy poofball you see is Sulley's favoritest toy ever. I bought him two. He is so funny when he plays with it. He literally jumps, frolics and rolls all over it. So much that it will be completely soaked after he is done playing with it. Ruby likes them too, but they are Sulley's favorite!

I have also been in the midst of a Tip Envelope Crisis. The beautiful ones I printed off were so delightful and pretty BUT they kept leaving ink all over my fingers whenever I touched them. I think I must have used a bad quality paper to print them. They were really annoying me so I decided to make new ones. They aren't as special or cute, but I like them and they work. I made them and filled them last night. Basically I just printed it out on white printer paper and folded the paper into thirds. I paper clipped the money to the inside and put some stickers to close it. Thanks to TK for helping me to come up with some of the little phrases!

They are all packed in my Vera ready to go!

DH and I have been in the midst of a mega cleaning of the house as well. It's gotta be clean for MIL. Not that it isn't clean already, but you get my drift. I finally hung up some of the wedding pictures. I think they look really good and I took a picture for you to see. The largest collage is pictures from our first year of dating.

I also checked our flight again today. It's still the same. I also was reading about the check in process. It says I can check in 24 hours before online. I think that is what we are going to do.

I have been using my VB wallet/wristlet that my cubicle mate had gotten me a few weeks ago. I love it by the way, best wallet ever. So I have been using it when we go shopping with the little wristlet thing. I have informed DH that in the evenings I will probably just take my wristlet with our important stuff. The wristlet has liberated me from the huge honking messenger bag. I don't want to feel like a pack mule all day long. I figure I can toss in a few bandaids, since my shoe plan calls for having them at all times. That being decided, I am bringing my small camera bag that DH can share it carrying with me. This is different from the dry sack bag. It's a regular camera case with the a longer strap. I figure with thinking about having a little nugget soon, that the less pack mule I can feel on this trip the better.

Okay. I think that was Mega enough update.

SIX DAYS!!

Good justification on the figurines! And those envelopes are just dahhhling! Love the collage of photos! I keep thinking about doing something like that, but I have to get pictures first. Our house is completely undecorated. I've been procrastinating about painting the walls and trim and until I do that I don't want to put holes in wall. Anyone want to have a DIS painting meet at my house??? Also, about calling a baby a "little nugget". At least that's what I assume you were referring to. When do you think you'll do that???

~Beka~

 

[Charleston Princess]

That was a mega-great update!

Ummm...I am totally stealing yoour outfit list idea for the next trip. It so appeals to my OCD!

I am the same way about being cranky all day long if I have to wear clothes I don't really like -- I guess my emotional age is sometimes 2 also!

CUTE figures!!! They are going to look great in your window at Pop!

Tip envelopes are nice!

The pictures turned out sooooo good!!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I had a big long response to your mega update and it disappeared.

I'll do my best to recreate. It started with a celebratory "LL has less than a week/6 days to go" dance.



Love the ipod covers and the Disney figurines... they'll look so cute in your window!

DH's sweatage and not tainting the Vera...

Kitties will be OK, I'm sure. Not sure what to say re: MIL...

Your tip envelopes are adorable. The sayings are very clever! Maybe I have to add tip envelopes to my to-do list...

And love the photo wall.

 

[nts4wdw]

Everything looks great!! I've got to stop by Dollar tree and see if they have the little figures! Love the idea of putting them in the window! I can't believe your trip is so close!

DH & I went to The Dollar Tree yesterday....$45 later....

I can't tell you how many times I have done that exact thing. Every time I got to the dollar store DH says "so did you dollar yourself to death?"

I also bought 10 Disney Figures. Why? No idea. They were a $1 and they are cute. I had one that I bought on a previous trip to The Dollar Tree so now my collection is at 11. I figure I will bring them to put in our window at Pop. How's that for justification?

I could see the picture of the figures all lined up before I read what you said about them and I thought "ohhh wouldn't those look nice in the resort room window"

Sorry about your original evelopes but I do think that these ones are very cute

 

[TarzansKat]

LL, today I discovered the wonder of the Dollar Tree! I mean I'd been there before, but I saw lots of the things you purchased, and it made me think of you and how close you are to your trip.

Awesome mega update! Although I don't know if we should be in awe of your listy ways or get you some kind of support group.

 

[stagemomx3]

Do you mean there are people who don't make lists of their outfits?
