It's Never to Soon to go back to Disney: My 1st PTR- Sept. 2009

You sure did tell me... OMG!!! So good!!! I only have a few more chapters to read of Sorcorers Stone... Of course my bro took all his HP books to school with him except deathly hollows, so now I have to wait for the library to get Chamber of Secrets in for me!! Ugh!! I had them place an order for it yesterday, so hopefully it will be in tomorrow!

I use the library a lot too! It just doesn't make sense to pay for books when you can get them for free right? :goodvibes

Our library here also has an awesome selection of dvds...I just got the Little Mermaid last week and I have National Treasure 2 and 17 Again on hold right now.

My fav Harry Potter books are the Prisoner of Azkaban and also the Deathly Hallows. Don't even try to read ahead of the series though, you won't understand 1/2 of whats going on and you'll spoil it for yourself! They leave A LOT out of the movies so the books are really better.

I agree about the books seeming long but they're really not. It's easy to fly through them --- Anyone who hasn't read them should really give them a try!
 
Yes, the kids are very excited about being able to hang out together for a little in Disney! I know, this weather has been so darn nice, that I was thinking the same thing!!! We're gonna hit that Florida heat and sun and have a freaking heat stroke! :rotfl2: I was watching the news yesterday, and it does look like it is suppose to get hotter again after this weekend thou!

Wait, when my brother fist met McNabb out from of our house, he was walking down the side walk, and McNabb was walking up it towards the door... He said hey to my brother and started talking to him and he damn near fainted!!! He literally couldn't speak when he came back in the house!!! It was so funny! OMG!!! I absolutely know the jackets you are talking about!!! How funny, I have a Charlotte honests one!!! Man that was a long time ago!!! :lmao:

Lindsey, that's why I never read the HP books either, they just seemed to long, but they are such easy reads thou that you fly thru it!!! They are really good! What about the twilight books? Have you read any of them?? They are beyond good!!!

I can picture the hornets jacket too:rotfl2: oh my gosh those were the days. I was telling dh about you tonight and how you met donovan. He said he would cut off his right arm to hang out with him. I told him that probably was not worth cutting of his arm but he insists it would be :rotfl:. Hes nuts.
I may try reading the twilight series books when I return from disney. I dont think my kids will sit quiet enough on the plane for me to read. I may just bring a magazine. That you dont have to fully concentrate on so its easier.

I'm so with you!!! I had to pay for the last three twilight books b/c their was a wait list at the library and I was too impatient to wait!! :rotfl: My library also has a pretty good selection of DVD's as well, but have not rented one from there yet!!! I love the National Tresure Movies!!! I saw national treasure 2 for the first time when I flew out to LA last year... Made the flight seen so sure since I was so into the movie!!!

I just finished the first book... picking up chamber of secrets from the library today!!! Can't wait... My class for my MBA start up again on Monday, so I doubt I am going to be able to get thru the books as quickly as I did the first!!! Bummer!!! :mad:

Ha Ha!!! Your DH is crazy!!! I definitely agree that it isn't worth giving his right arm to meet him!!! :lmao: He is a nice guy thou!!!

I highly recommend reading the Twilight books!!! I know what you mean about the plan ride with little ones!!! Boy am I glad Devon is old enough to entertain himself now!!! All I have to do is give the boy his iPod and PSP and I won't hear a peep out of him till be land!!! I did promise him we would play UNO on the plane thou. It's his new favorite game!!!
 
What class are you taking?

Is this your first class in going for your MBA or are you into it a little already?

Some finance class!! Blah!!! No, I am actaully almost done the program. Only have 4 classes to go!! I graduate in June!! Woo Hoo!!! I feel a celebatory Disney vacation might be in order!!! :rotfl:
 
hey everyone, for those of you who have been following along, you may remember that I mentioned last week that I got some good news about going back to work with the company that laid me off before months end, well... I went and had lunch with my manager yesterday, and the time line of me going back has changed!!! Now we are looking at November!!! Ugh!!! I am so upset!!! I'm a nervous wreck... To the point I gave myself a killer migraine and couldn't even take the covers off my head last night, and to top it off, b/c I'm a bundle of nerves, I could not sleep either!!! I finally gave up and got out of bed a little before five in the morn!!!

I just feel so down on my luck right now!!! I busted my butt to get to where I am today and this whole situation just stinks!!! Got to have faith that things will get better!!! :littleangel: And, at least I have a Disney trip to look forward to!!!

Ok, so now that my rant is over, I was finally able to pin down all the stuff that I need to do before the trip!! Here it goes... Let me know if I'm forgetting anything. I'm sure I am... My mind is wandering in a 1000+ directions at the moment!!!

Sure is a small world!!! That's a catholic church right??? I'll have to ask my mom if that's the church she goes too!!!

Yes and I do know about the multi quote feature!!! Best thing ever, I was in awe when I figured it out!! :lmao: It's the little things in life!!! :goodvibes
 
Hi All!!! Happy Sunday!!!! Just wanted to chime in before my crazy day beginnings!!

Yesterday I was able to accomplish this weekends tasks and a few other things in between!!! I went to Crate & Barrel first thing yesterday morning and got my bridal shower gift and card and then heading over to the super Wal-mart to pcik up my supplies to make my pasta salad, which I am working on making right now! So those items are checked off the list!

Another thing that I wanted to do is grab a few more Disney Dollars, but get this, went to 2 Disney stores and both were out of them!!! :scared1: No biggie I guess, but that was going to be my last trip to the mall before we leave!!! Guess I will just make a pit stop when I go to get my hair done next week since the mall is right up the street!

Oh, ran to the $1 store last night too!!! Picked up my glow braclets and necklesses!!! :cool1: I also picked up a Nemo foam ball for Devon to play with in the POP pool!

So, last night I decided to get a jump start on my class work, so I wouldn't be behind when I go to Disney... OMG!!! I was in tears last night!!! I do not think finance and me are going to get a long at all!!! :mad: It took me almost 2 hours to figure out how to use the freaking financial calculator!!! But I did finally figure it out, thank goodness and did a few assigns too!!! Look at me being on the ball for once!! :lmao: Now, I just need to remember to tell my professor that I will be out of town and I will be good to go!!!

Welp, that's all I got for now, going to finish making this pasta salad and get ready for my BBQ!!! This ought to be an interesting day to say the least!!! :rotfl: Devon's with his dad till tomorrow, at the beach once again!! Man that boy has the life!!! So I think mommy is going to have some fun today!! :goodvibes
 
Yes , It is a Catholic Church the only other one nearby is St. John of God in North Cape May so unless she prefers that one then the one down the street here is more than likely the one she goes to. :) I know how you feel about the multi quote thing I felt the same way. lol! It's sounds like your doing well with getting done and not backed up in school while your away that's great!
