Your dress is gorgeous.
How exciting Jackie and congrats!!! Your students will be so lucky to have you!
Congratulations!!! That is so awesome, you will be a wonderful teacher!! You'll have to keep me updated once you get your curriculum and all, as another English teacher I'm always curious about stuff like that!

Sweet Jackie - Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you!!! Lucky students to have such a sweet teacher!!
Hello there Jackie!!
First of all..![]()
Less than 2 months!! That's crazy! Oh yeah.. do the banana!!
![]()

What the hell is the banana??
-Ouch!! Take pain killers!
-Under budget. Oh yeah baby!! Time to spend more money!! (please excuse my responses..I'm pretty sure I've had too much coffee in such a short time
) As you know from my post on your thread from the main board, I suggested the caricature artist.. but you said that you're family probably wouldn't care for that. So who cares?!
I'll come, and me and you can sit over there posing for drawing for hours on end!! Sounds like a solid plan to me!

But if you want the Domo, I say go for it!
-I think you should go buy yourself something pretty! You deserve it. Getting picked for TFA is a HUGE accomplishment!!! I told Charley I had to look through my stuff, so I could find some gloves and a scarf for the Xmas party. He said I could just wait and try to find a Mickey scarf and some gloves when we get down to the World!! How awesome is that?!?!? Don't you just love getting new stuff? lol
-Wow fancy tea! Roses?! That's! Yes, it's bananas. Don't you like how I used that little dancing banana twice in this post.. for 2 different meanings?!!? Snazzy, I know!
-Yay welcome folders! FYI, we got our Mickey Mouse folders from Wal-Mart. They were like 97 cents a piece before tax.
And no updates are silly! I like updates... and exclamation points!!!!
But seriously.. time seems to be flying by. It seems like I got married so long ago. And it hasn't even been 2 months. lol And now it's almost you're wedding! CRAZY!!I'm so excited for you though. I shall take lots of pics of you while I'm walking up and down the BW pretending I'm not trying to take pics of your wedding!!

Yay, less than two months!! So sorry to hear about your tooth - I bet that really hurts![]()
I love that you have extra money in the budget and I am rooting for the major domo! I think that's one of the things that is really unique to having a Disney wedding and if you can afford it I think it would be really fun touch.
Definitely buy yourself something, you deserve it!!
And that tea sounds really good. In fact, it's chilly here, I just might have to make myself a cup of tea right now!
Jackie,
Sorry about the tooth. Hope it is feeling better. There is nothing worse that a toothache.
Great job coming in under budget! The Domo idea! Paul is intrigued by the Domo, but I think for our event it might be overkill. Plus the girls would be heartbroken, since they want to carry the rings down the aisle.![]()
Love the favors! Very cute! As you said, you don't technically need them, but they are cute. We are probably doing Mickey Ears for everyone (I want that picture!), but I love the idea of little pink chinese takeout boxes with candy inside with a sticker with our (tbd) wedding logo on each. (Not that I have thought about this idea at all!)
Great MOH dress! And great dress for you!
Have a great visit with Dad.
I have a great Pluto story from the cruise to share, but need to get the pic done first. Sorry for the tease!![]()
* So awesome about the Osborne lights! I've never seen them. And funny about your DF never getting excited except about video games - DH is the same way! A game, Skyrim, came out last week and it's just been that nonstop. I can't even be around him when he's with friends or his brothers because it's literally ALL they talk about!
* 97 cent Mickey folders sound like they would be just perfect for Welcome folders! What a great deal!
* Your favors are definitely cute, love them!
* We requested a song for the cake cutting and it was played, makes for nice background music! We used Michael Buble's "How Sweet It Is" - you know, cause cake is sweet, get it??
* Your MOH dress is just beautiful! She looks gorgeous in it! I love the dress you got yourself as well, beautiful.
* Have a good time with your dad! I'm thinking about tackling Black Friday shopping for the first time ever this year. Any tips or ideas about what to expect? How early do I actually have to get there?
Hello my dear friend!!I finally get to post on your PJ again.. since it takes you so long to post about stuff!
So, 1st of all.. I'm glad you like my comments!I love logging on and seeing yours as well.
-I'm glad your tooth is better! You can never have too much detail. It's needed, believe me.
-We hate taking pics. The whole time Charley and I have been together, I think we've had our pics taken once!I know it's just that shocking!!
It doesn't bother me so much as it does him. (I've given him no choice on the 1st year anniversary shoot with Randy!!)
-I guess you can get the Domo. He does actually sound pretty cool. I'll have to make sure I get his pics while I'm sneaking around there!!
-I did not get a scarf. I did see the sparkly scarves. I also saw a dark plaid 1 that had Mickey at the end, and it kind of had a crinkle effect. I think I might get it when we go back in Dec. It just really wasn't cold this weekend, so I didn't see the need in spending the money.
-I'm glad you got the folders. I thought they were super cute.. and that it was meant to be when Charley found them.
On to comment on your plans..
-for Osbourne Lights. We've never seen them, but we plan on doing that in Dec. We are very excited!!!
-for marriage license. That is something you can't forget to do. You don't want to be down to the last days.. and freaking out because you don't have it!!! You need to leave time for errors. We had to have another done. When we got the 1st 1, they had a typo on the county, I think.. so they had to send another 1. I would've freaked out if it was in the last week!! So get that done missy!!!
-Like I said above.. I'm glad to help with the folders.. it's like I made them all by myself for you!!You're welcome pal!!!
-You favors are super cute, and it's something nice to go with your place cards.
-I'm glad you got the music thing handled.. well all except for Chris's part, but we won't go into that. We all know how difficult it is to get a guy to make a decision on wedding stuff. And I think if you request a song for the cake cutting, they will play it.
-I'm glad you're getting a chance to go over the BEO. That will help rid you of SOME of the stress.. hopefully!
-Woowee!! Hot mama! She looks great in that dress! I love it. It's so pretty.. especially the color. Good choice!
-Thank the Lord she finally got the darn dress. Not like you're close to the wedding or anything..(That is my disgust for her.
)
-Ok.. so I'm in love with your dress. That was a very good purchase.. and if it's cold, I think it would look really cute with some tights or leggings or whatever.. you know what I'm saying!
-I hope you have fun with your Dad. My Dad and I are the same way with each other.
-Me, Charley, and my Mom all did the Black Friday thing last year.. I believe it was last year. It was only the 2nd time I've been.. the 1st being when I was in high school, I went with my step-mom. Anyway.. it was crazy!!! But fun.. and cold!! I can only imagine how it is up there.. FREEZING TO ME.. of course 74 is freezing to me!!But we're nothing very good family members this year.. and we're choosing to not spend money on gifts for anyone. We have too many nieces and nephews and brothers and sisters. It's just plain ridiculous. With all of the money we've spent with the wedding and everything. We're just not doing it. I said we'd rather spend the money going to DW for XMAS.. is that wrong of me??? Oh well.. sorry to hijack your PJ!!!
Good update!!
I swear, every time you post a dress that you bought, I instantly covet it. That black and red one is beautiful. Where did you get it? You really have fantastic taste in clothing.
And super big YAY! for using music from LOST. Is the song the piano-y one that they used during the serious moments? I LOVE that song. It gets stuck in my head sometimes and it makes me happy. *is a really, really big geek*![]()
Thank you so much!!! I fell in love with it and I hemmed and hawed over it for at least 2 weeks. I got it at Torrid, which is a plus size store (I'm kind of chubs!), but they carry as low as size 12.
And NO, it's not that song--- but I wish it were, because I found the music for that song! (You're talking about the song they play when someone dies, right? The slow one?) No, DF wants to play "Desmond and Penny's Theme," which is the song they play during The Constant when they're having the phone call on Christmas Eve. I told DF he should walk down the aisle to the traveling music (they always play it when they're going somewhere), but he didn't agree. LAME. (I'm a pretty big LOSTie. Could you tell!?)
-I think I'm actually really bad at Black Friday. I never get there TOO early--- usually I'm at Target around 5am or so? But I also never try to get any electronics, and that's what you need to get there early for. Stores usually have lots of DVDS/CDs/etc. BUT who knows how that will be with stores opening at MIDNIGHT this year! My main goal for BF this year is clothing--- Chris needs a new wardrobe so badly, so that's what he's getting from me.
