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

[Lady Lallie]

I am actually looking at a list that I made on a post it today at work. I was very worried that I would forget what I wanted to put in my update tonight.

First on my list is to tell you about my Cat Drama. Shoe drama, Cat drama, what's next? Oh I remember, Inlaw Drama. Yes, my drama collection is complete! Due to some unforeseen issues with the inlaws, they will no longer be coming over to check on the Cats. DH and I have decided that we are just going to put out extra food and water, get some special kitty toys and do a few boxes with holes and treats inside them to make it easier on the furbabies. I am very worried about them, well more so Sulley as he is the sensitive one. Ruby Doobs will be fine. Does anyone else leave their cats when they go on vacation? Make me feel better.

Next is airport drama. Oh now my collection is complete. The plan was that MIL was going to drop us off at Logan Express to catch the shuttle to Logan and then drop our car off on the day we return since we have the later flight now. Well....the last shuttle from Logan back to Logan Express would be 11PM. Our flight gets in at 9:40PM, it would be just my luck that our flighty would be delayed and we wouldn't have anyway to get back to Logan Express in Framingham. Boo. So now we are going to go to the Park, Shuttle & Fly closer to Logan and just pay for parking for the week. This also eliminates any MIL drama that could occur on the morning of our trip.

Which comes to the most important thing on my list. NO MORE DRAMA! I am so done with the drama and it infiltrating my happy Disney trip. The drama will rule LL no more!

On the Un-Drama front, I stopped my mail today through Post Office online. That is just the easiest thing to do! It worked beautifully for the honeymoon.

I just don't have a photo list in me tonight. I am exhausted and must conserve my energy for a gathering at MIL's tomorrow night.

Let's all partake in the single digit dance since we are at

In your no-drama spirit, I am only quoting this bit. Because it's the most important bit. The rest of it will work out!

Oh, and I have heard of people leaving their cats alone during vacation, but I've never done it myself. I haven't had a cat myself since childhood, and we had a dog then too so we always had someone come over. Sorry; I'm no help there.

NO MORE DRAMA!!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Just stay focused on how few days you have left!!!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

As you joined my dancing, I will join yours Single Digits!!! Can you stand it?!?!

BTW, we leave our kitty when we go away. She's 7 and has been left alone many times...and has always been fine. We do have family members drop by to give her clean water and food and give her some loves! (And usually send us a pix message of her!) How long are you going for? Can anyone stop by and check on the furbabies?? Can you board them?

 

[MRYPPNS]

When I was a kid we would leave the cat at home with tons of food and water and an extra litter box....never a problem. It would be great if you could find one person to come over mid week once just to check on them and freshen the water and food and a couple scoops of kitty litter. Maybe FSIL or BIL? Might be worth it to them for a restaurant gift card and for your peace of mind.

We are going to be gone for a full week. Last time we were gone for a full week and BIL came over twice to just check on them. He told us that Ruby didn't even come out to see him, that she cared less so I am not really worried about her. It's more Sulley who is our give me attention now and all the time kitty. Since MIL volunteered to do it, there is no way I can have BIL do it without telling MIL. I do not want MIL in my house after some things that have happened.

Growing up we had a kitty, Lincoln that we left when we went on Vacation. LIke you, we just put out extra food and water and an extra litter box. My mom keeps telling me that they will be fine. I think they will be. I don't have any family down here and all of DH's friends live too far away to ask. Meh.

EIGHT DAYS!!

Since I woke up this morning, I have had a jumble of excitement in my stomach. Perhaps some butterflies in there as well. I am so excited. I have been thinking a lot about the trip, big suprise, eh? I am really looking forward to experiencing WDW with DH. It's a first for us and I am really eager to share my happy place with him.

I do a lot of trip thinking before I fall asleep. On the nights that DH is working, it helps me to think happy thoughts so I don't imagine that the boogeyman is in the living room waiting to attack me. This had led to a lot of crazy Disney dreams. I have always had very vivid dreams so I guess I shouldn't be suprised that they are Disney related at the moment.

Last week I had the dream that we slept through our Animal Kingdom day. I think I dreamed this because sad to say, AK is my least favorite park and I am not as excited about going there as the others. Earlier this week I dreamed that I refused to go see Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. My reasoning behind this in my dream was that I hated Rick Moranis. Who hates Rick Moranis? He's Wayne Szalinski, Barney Rubble and Rutt from Brother Bear. I was disgusted with myself when I woke up. You can bet that I will be seeing Honey, I Shrunk the Audience on our trip. I also had a dream where we had bell services transfer our luggage to Wilderness Lodge and they lost it. This has made me extremely paranoid and really makes me want to take a taxi over to WL from Pop. I know I have had other Disney related dreams but those were more like snatches of dreams so I can't really remember them too clearly.

DH was talking on the phone last night about our Disney Trip. He said how he wasn't very interested when I first brought the trip up a year ago but now that I have everything planned out and I have shown him all the exciting things we will be doing that he is very excited. *Wipes tear away* Sniff Sniff. The brainwashing of DH is complete! In all seriousness, I was very touched that he was so excited while talking about the trip and he really gave me full credit for all the hard work I have put into the plans. It made me feel really appreciated.

Now on to another picture list!

EPCOT
*Spaceship Earth -- I am very excited to take pictures of Spaceship Earth with my new camera, I hope to get some artistic shots that I can play around with in the photobucket editor.
*Trying on different things around World Showcase
*Beauty & The Beast Windows in France
*The Fountain in Italy
*Lots of Pictures in World Showcase -- I really love how authentic everything looks and want to take a boatload of pictures of all the buildings and such.
*The Nemo Statues at The Seas
*Pictures of Both of Us in the England Photo Booth
*Monorail going past Spaceship Earth -- I really want to be patient enough to get a snapshot of the Monorail going past Spaceship Earth, I think it will be awesome and impress my Dad.
*DH's face while he trys the Beverly soda in Club Cool -- I have what I am going to say all set in my head so I can get him to try it! Muhahahaha!
*Panaramic Photo of World Showcase -- I have an idea in my head and I am hoping it will work out like the Fenway picture I took.

People who do Photo Lists thrill me. I'm organized when it comes to vacation but even I'm not that organized! Make sure to post all the great pics when you return!!!

 

[willwriteforears]

Woo hoo for eight days! Your use of eight exclamation points was very clever.

That's so sweet of DH to say he appreciates all the work you've put into the trip! You definitely have a winner.

I'm very glad to see the Beauty and the Beast windows still in your photog list for Epcot, since I didn't think to take a picture when I saw, and marveled, at them. You must be my vicarious picture-taker!

Of course!! I have grand plans for my Trip Report. I am almost as excited to write the TR as I am the actual Trip. Almost, not quite.

OH my gosh LL this is hilarious!! You had me laughing out loud at work here. Really, who hates Rick Moranis? I like him so much I even have a copy of his record:

(Betcha didn't know that existed....it features covers of Beatles & Kraftwerk songs! He sounds like Kermit the Frog when he sings )

Oh my gosh! I can't believe he has a record. I wonder if it's on itunes. I will have to check when I get home.

I really couldn't believe that I had dreamed that when I woke up. It's ridiculous! I blame it on watching Brother Bear earlier in the week. He really cracks me up as Rutt.

Rick Moranis has an ALBUM???? He sings????

 

[Philadisney]

Rick Moranis has an ALBUM???? He sings????

Yes...well, it's about 20 years old...but pure gold! I think it also includes a cover of "Light My Fire" by the Doors

 

[trixiequilts]

I'm glad I'm dreaming about Michael Phelps instead of Rick Moranis!

This totally just made my day.

I figured you would appreciate this after I read your dreaming of Michael Phelps abs post.

 

[trixiequilts]

Oh, and here are eight little skittle cheerleaders to celebrate eight days!

Yayayayayaya! EIGHT DAYS! I was just chanting to my cubicle mate, "1 week 1 day, 1 week 1 day." I am so excited!
