January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part II !!!

[peach3es]

As if we could ever leave our most wonderful peaches behind!!!! Glad you found the board!!



I really do love that dancing banana!!

Aw, shucks...you like me! You really like me!

And I love that dancing banana too! But just don't tell Disco Dale. He gets a little jealous!

Question: you mean it isn't normal to rush to the computer in the morning just to check on all the goings on of your favorite threads?
Gotta have my cup 'o joe and computer in the morning!

Of course, I'm always doing this in the morning too.

And this only I'm studying Arabic or teaching English.

And a little of this to get the kids excited for school and out the door.

And always a little of this when I think about the fact that I have 2 months to pack up our house, tie up lose ends, sublet our place for 7 months, make Christmas gifts, scrapbook some pictures, create a gift for our precious tutor, and get my kids up to grade level in English!

Yet, here I am again!

 

[jenjolt]

Oh!! As I rise from the fog that is my lack of sleep induced haze I remember I was going to tell you all something exciting. So this PTR I have yet to decide to write has a title and as you all know that is the most important part LOL!! So as I was laying in bed with caffeine flowing through my veins instead of blood I came upon this...let me now what you think...drumroll please.... (where is that band smilie at????) I warn you know its long LOL

Title for the PTR that remains to be seen if written: Going Disney Solo: How to Avoid a Divorce When Your Hubby Plans a Hunting Trip over Your Birthday and Anniversary!!

What do you think?????? Is it too cheesy (cuz you all know this is me writing this thing its bound to be cheesy and way too sarcastic for my own good LOL) Now to actually consider writing the first chapter...where is Soleil at I'm going to need some major mentoring to make it through this process...

Oh TRIXIE can you tell I want to ask you something...you think maybe just maybe you are up to proofreading LOL...don't want to spread my contagious disease of bad grammartitis to the rest of the board..you poor snowbirds suffer enough!

Okay I lied I think I'm still on a caffeine high!! GOOD MORNING!!

 

[peach3es]

I love the title!

 

[trixiequilts]

I just sent you a PM.

 

[Monny2AE]

Hooray for a Part II !!!!! And let the party continue...
I'm so excited my counter no longer says 4 months!!!

I have a new goal before WDW that all of you scrappers will relate to: Catch up before we leave for WDW! I'm so far behind sometimes I think I'll never catch up. Right now I'm still working on my son's bday- which was in April. Nevermind the summer pics I've just now moved from my camera to the computer finally- all 400+ of them It's so hard to find time but I'm going to get it done so I can have a fresh start with all the WDW pics I know I'll take!!!!

 

[Monny2AE]

Oh and I forgot to mention that I loved all the pics everyone has posted so far!

 

[peach3es]

Ah, Kim...the scrapbooker's dilemma! I feel so far behind too. But I love creating, so it's all good! I'm actually going digital and I think that's going to help things move along more quickly for me. And be cheaper in the long run. I just ordered the Wacom Bambo FUN tablet which comes with Photoshop Elements 5.0. I've been downloading digital kits and I am ready to go! My mom shipped out my tablet yesterday...so now we play the waiting game and hope it arrives before the Jewish holidays that are all coming up rapid fire!

Of course, I want that package to arrive because it's full of stuff for my Georgia Kate's 3rd birthday party too. Right. I keep telling myself that!

Anyone else here watch The Office? Hello, my name is Carrie, and I am obsessed with The Office.

Hi, Carrie.

I am equally obsessed with Jim Halpert.

And I can't wait for the first show of the season! Of course, I have to watch the following day online, but I can live with that!

I came across my photopass pictures so I picked out a few faves to share.

Here we are on Test Track

With the Castle

And my absolute fave, my girls with Belle at Akerhus

Jen.... are our husbands related????

 

[trixiequilts]

Yep! DH and I always sit down and watch it together, it's our thing. Everything is good tonight: The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and Survivor (all season premieres)! I told my DSis the other day that they new TV season was going to seriously interfere with my DISing! She didn't get it, of course.

 

[ReneeDisney]

Good morning Snowbirds!
I am so excited to be a part of this group. We are going to take WDW by Storm (no pun intended) this January! I wish everyone beautiful weather, short lines and lots of magic and pixie dust! I'll be looking for the lime green Mickeys. I have a lime green mickey mouse keychain (purchased at WDW in 2006 and it hangs from my zipper of my bag)

Here is a photo of my family. It was taken at the California Grill in April 2008. My husband, Anthony, our little princess Ava Lily and myself, Renee.

I have this problem with scrapbooking. I start new ones before the old ones are done! I have about 6 of them that are started, just not finished!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. According to my calculations I have 104 days left .

Ugh ok, now I have to head off to work.

 

[AGPrincess]

Gotta Zoom - have muffins in the oven and have to wake my girlies up for school! I'll be back later to check in! HAve a great morning LAdies! Try to control yourselves today eh? Don't get to page 10 before lunch!

Mmmmmm...muffins...my cereal suddenly seems inadequate. Actually, speaking of breakfast foods, anything seems inadequate compared to this...

(cue choir of heavenly angels)

That's what I plan on having for breakfast less than 4 months from now! What about everybody else?

Hooray for a Part II !!!!! And let the party continue...

I only scrapbook Disney trips, and I'm still ridiculously behind...this summer I was still working on a 2004 trip! I didn't even bring my scrapbooking stuff w/ me to college b/c I knew I couldn't be trusted with it. I have enough of a hard time trying to stay away from the DIS to get work done!

Oh, and Gillettes...that pic of your DD's and Belle is adorable!

 

[GrammyJudy]

We are going Jan 21-27...3 generations. Me, my husband, DD and DSIL, 2 grandsons 8yrs and 4 months when we go. Second DGS born last wek and I added his nae to our reservations already. We are staying at POP, stayed ther Jan 2007 and loved it. Eating at LeCEllier, Tonys, 50'sPrime Time, Ohana,San Angel Innand the Hoop Dee Doo. Can't wait!!!!! Should be a challenge with the baby but fun.Anything to leave Vermont in the winter!!!!
Who else will be at POP when we are?

 

[jenjolt]

Jen.... are our husbands related????

They just might be!!! I feel funny calling my hubby a DH because in reality he is totally a NDH (non-Disney Hubby)! I'm doing happy dances around my house over all my Disney plans and he's like hmmmm...should I wear this cammo or this cammo (does it really make that big of difference LOL) when killing antelope!! MEN!! But I love mine! I'm sure his anti-ethusiasm vs my over zealousness of all things Disney will be a great catalyst in my PTR..which yes ladies and gentlemen I have decided to write!! YAY!!

 

[AussieAngel]

Ooh my goodness, I just found the new thread!! I thought we'd been shut down!!!

I have some happy news - DH and I paid off the final payment for our Disney trip yesterday! Yayyyyy!!!

And last night, I had a dream that we were eating at Ohana, and there were heaps and heaps of sultanas in the bread pudding dessert!! What an odd dream!!

 

[jenjolt]

Yep! DH and I always sit down and watch it together, it's our thing. Everything is good tonight: The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and Survivor (all season premieres)! I told my DSis the other day that they new TV season was going to seriously interfere with my DISing! She didn't get it, of course.

Grey's Anatomy is my secret delight!! I love that show and am a sucker for MerDer (yes I know the couple name who doesn't LOL) So tonight for two glorious hours me and my laptop (because I can't be away from you guys too long LOL) will be watching and enjoy the season premiere!! WOOT!

 

[Kazooie01]

I have some happy news - DH and I paid off the final payment for our Disney trip yesterday! Yayyyyy!!!

Congratulations! We're ready to pay ours off, but keep waiting for that late October Code that will save us thousands!
