...
Maybe, just to be safe, you should PM me with a list of things I could do to Jack that would qualify as "HI"...

Hello Jaime!

I confess that I've only lurked on your last trippies, so I decided that I was going to get in on this one from the beginning!!

for good health from head to toe (literally) and a fantastic trip!!

Kathy

Hey Jaime - We are going to DISNEYWORLD in




13 D A Y S

 

[tiggerbell]

dddisrunner – Thanks. It’s so close, isn’t it? You’ve only got 9 days!!!

TWB!

KathyRN137 -
Thanks for the well wishes – I’m trying so hard not to get hurt anymore! The doctor told me last week to use an ankle brace, or an Ace bandage, to support my left foot. I’ve been doing it for a few days now and can see a big difference.

Rhonda – I told you – I’m not going if the airline doesn’t let me have my flare gun and my crossbow in my carry on bag!!!

 

[RHONDALEE]

Well if your not going without your flare gun and cross bow then I guess I'll see you when I get back.




I leave in 12 days.

 

[tiggerbell]

10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!​

Wow!

Sandy is bringing cranberry/orange loaf and bananas for all of us for breakfast at the airport... yum!

And last night, Rhonda and I made envelopes for Mousekeeping... I'll take pictures - they're so cute!

 

[dddisrunner]

OOH! getting sooo close! I'll dance with you!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Wow!

You're just about there huh?

Mmmmm, breakfast sounds yummy~

I don't even have to say have a great time,

I have no doubt you all will

 

[puggymom]

HI YA!!!10 days for me too!

Looking forward to out POTC meet on Tuesday!

 

[tiggerbell]

HI YA!!!10 days for me too!

Looking forward to out POTC meet on Tuesday!

I can't wait - it's going to be so great to meet you!

Wow!

You're just about there huh?

Mmmmm, breakfast sounds yummy~

I don't even have to say have a great time,

I have no doubt you all will

Yes, breakfast sounds good - we were going to make a Dunkin Donuts stop on the way to the airport, but we like Sandy's suggestion much better!

OOH! getting sooo close! I'll dance with you!

Yes, I woke up this morning already planning this post in my head - it really boils down to this:

SINGLE DIGIT DANCING!!!!
9 DAYS TO GO!!!!!
SINGLE DIGIT DANCING!!! ​

 

[TyRy]

WOW - Happy single digit dance!!!!

I was finally able to catch up on the Pre-TR - awesome as usual....did I miss what happened with your foot and the hook? All better? As I tell DH - just go stand in front of the castle and all will be healed. Hey - it worked for my lung problem last year!!!

Try and squeeze in a little time to relax at the AKL (wait - did I just say relax? DH will go into shock) The pool is awesome and so is just sitting out on your balcony. Next time we go back, we'll book pool view again - I think we liked that better than having a Savannah view, plus you are closer to everything.

Can't wait to see the pictures - you'll have to show my DH them - maybe then I can convince him to use the code we got and go back instead of going to DL!!!

 

[KathyRN137]

Doin' the single digit dance with you!!

9 days I have to do some then I have to "pack" (there are no smilies for packing)

There will be TONS of pictures, trust me!!! I just can't wait to see AKL for the first time.

Nothing happened with the foot and the crocket hook - it just really, really hurt for a couple of days (might have been bruised, but I can't see the bottom of that foot - at least not back then, so close to the surgery!) I just thought it was funny because I had no idea I was standing on a metal stick!

Doin' the single digit dance with you!!

Kathy

Thank you - is there a different dance for

8 DAYS!!!​

9 days I have to do some then I have to "pack" (there are no smilies for packing)

Awwww.... you figured out the smilies!!! I'm almost packed... few more items... taking my time... the joy of starting at the 10 week mark is that you're never rushed!

 

[puggymom]

Hey care to do the single dance with me?

Hi, Jaime. I just finished reading this report. I'll have to wait for some major insomnia to read the others, but I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!. So near and so far! I will be arriving as you are leaving, May 5-12. I am very jealous about AKL. That is where my DD and I really want to stay. Maybe next time! But we are looking forward to Pop because it is new for us. Hope your foot is much better when you get there. Think anyone might want to push you around in a wheelchair?? Gotta go now - need to take pictures of some of the cool stuff I have found for the trip - shoes (two new pair of Tevas), bag (Better back bag), matching shirts for the whole group, etc. I also have some old pics on my pre-trippie, but they are all the way back to the 70's. My, I was also skinny then. But I'm much softer now!

PittypatBR -

My other sister, Mia, suggested the wheelchair, too, but I'm pretty sure Rhonda will not think that's funny!

And I like that... "softer"...

Hey care to do the single dance with me?

How about the "1 Week Left" dance???

 

[Panotchr]

How is the foot? I am worried about those little piggies!

I have a little guy from my class at WDW this week. He left today and will be at AKL until next Sat. I told him to tell Mickey I will see him in August and knowing this little guy, he will say just that!

 

[dddisrunner]

Have a great trip I will be looking forward to reading all about it!

 

[tiggerbell]

I’M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD THIS WEEK!!!​

Unbelievable! I wish there was more to report – you’d think there would be, seeing as the trip is THIS WEEK, but I think I started packing so early that it’s all just sitting there in the Packing Zone Formerly Known as Stephani’s Bed (henceforth known as PZFKaSB) waiting to go.

Kelly! The foot is not happy. It’s sure not ready for a week in Disney! But it’s going. Whether it likes it or not. I will follow my own advice: I will walk it off – suck it up – take it like a man!

Today’s a family get-together – have I explained this yet? Christmas gifts are always a source of frustration for us – I’m one of 5, and because our ages are so spread out (26 years between the oldest and youngest), we are all in different stages of life – financially and menopausally speaking.

This year, I came up with the suggestion of not buying gifts, but splitting up into pairs and planning an event for the whole family to attend. Your gift to your family is “time & commitment”. Yeah, some days I can really pile it on…

First up was an ice skating event in February (hosted by Kerri & Jay – Lauren & Brooke’s parents). Having had foot surgery the previous month, I was the official picture taker.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Mia, Meg, Rhonda, Judi, Ron (standing), Cindy, Bill, Tony (one of Bill & Cindy's kids)

Kerri

Today is our 2nd event – Mia & Rhonda’s Game Day. I’m providing dessert & Disney’s Pretty, Pretty Princess game (yes, I will post the pictures of my brother as he plays this with the Chickies (Lauren & Brooke.))

Bet you didn’t even know I had a brother, huh? For their family gift, he and his wife, Cindy, have reserved a box at a minor league baseball game in June… Judi & Ron are planning a day at the zoo (we live just a few miles from Brookfield Zoo, ya know), and that just leaves the last pair – me & Brett – Kerri’s brother, Judi & Ron’s son. We suggested a tattoo parlor outing (cause that’s how Brett & I roll…)

I think we’ll probably do a Bunko Game.
