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

[jenjolt]

Afternoon Snowbirds!

I'm back from a long day of shopping!

Got some Christmas shopping done and got a few things for myself!

I also got all of our breakfast items for WDW - Granola Bars, Fruit & Grain Bars, Cheerios Cereal Bars, Cocoa Puffs Cereal Bars, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bars!!

I'm so excited ~ I'm going to Disney in 10 WEEKS!!!

YAY for shopping! Isn't it great when you can get some things off your Christmas list.

I was going to be buying quite a few breakfast items but now that I'm on the dining plan I can just grab breakfast at the food court if I want. I still plan on bringing some breakfast foods for the mornings I don't want to deal with a busy food court and just want to get to a park. The one thing I'm totally going to do though is bring a case of water with me and a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper...my trip I'm having the real thing LOL!!

Speaking of driving it is a 7 hour drive for me (I have to add an hour there due to the time change, I live in the central time zone), but I gain an hour coming home, so I don't have to leave as early.

I rebooked my rental car yesterday, for only $14 more I was able to get an intermediate which will have cruise control which I LOVE LOL~~ plus a bigger car means more room for bringing home souvenirs RIGHT????

Welcome back Shelly,

Where do you find the Cheerios (etc) Cereal Bars? I can't find them around here any more and my kids love them. I look around the granola bars - is that right?

The more exciting news is I finalized my ADRs, so here they are:

1/21 Tusker House Lunch (2:30)
1/23 Cape May Cafe Breakfast (10:00)
1/25 Chef Mickey's Dinner (5:15)
1/28 Tusker House Breakfast (10:00)

That's it - everything else will be "wing it", mostly CS or at the room.

Once I get to Disney I'm not leaving the resort for any reason LOL I'm too directionally challenged!!!

Great - I'll have to look there. Is that a Super Wal-Mart, or a regular with a few food aisles? We don't have a Super around here.

It was at a Super-WalMart. We don't have a Super WM either but there is one in the town where my mom lives and that's where I was shopping today.

Don't be jealous .... but I'm eating the most delicious brownie sundae right now. A co-worker suprised us and is bringing them around on a cart.

We are doing the exact same thing. We need to stock up on things because my son is the PICKIEST eater on teh planet.

mmmm . . . brownie sundae . . .

Mmmm. . . I was thinking about making brownies for brownie sundaes after supper tonight. . . Now I am definitely doing it!

Brownie sundaes are my favorite dessert!

 

[BellaSoleil]

I knew I shouldn't have done it! I don't handle sweets very well. I have a tummy and a headache now.

But it was so worth it!!!!!

64 days left! ​

We are sending a box to the Boardwalk for our trip with all our breakfast foods! Cereal, bars.....snacks etc.... We will pick up juice and milk down there, but it can be a quick visit to the grocery store.

 

[jenjolt]

Hmmm...brownie sundaes...I should totally make some brownies they sound so good...dinner is the crockpot YAY!!! So one less thing to worry about!

Ohhh. I'm jealous! But I'm also trying to watch my weight (ideally, watch it go DOWN and not up), so no brownie sundae for me!! On the plus side, I did have a leftover mini Hershey bar.

I knew I shouldn't have done it! I don't handle sweets very well. I have a tummy and a headache now.

But it was so worth it!!!!!

This I'm NOT jealous of! Feel better soon!!


I'm down to 59 DAYS! Holy cow, less than 2 months left!!

Still have to get through surgery, Thanksgiving, grant deadline (department style), holiday parties, Christmas (and maybe a parent visit?), grant deadline (grantor style). Well, that list doesn't look toooo long!

Ack. Christmas shopping. I should start!

 

[Dancegrl624]

I made dark chocolate brownies with dark chocolate frosting on Sunday. So yummy! I just ate the last one a few hours ago! Brownies do NOT last long in our house. I usually eat half of them!

I made brownies on Sunday as well! They are my son's absolute favorite! He's not a big sweet eater, so I don't mind making them for him every now and then (he doesn't like cake or ice cream, and eats very little candy - such an odd little guy! ). I do believe they're gone at our house, too!

 

[Northern Disney Girl]

Gee Whiz! All this talk of brownies is making me hungry for some! It's a good thing I am super busy right now - no time to bake brownies! I am not even trying to keep up with you snowbirds! Chatty today!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Jen, you better drink your Dr.P before you get there!! They don't sell them at Disney! And by the way, 6 weeks for me without one!!!

We took my Paw Paw (almost 80!!) to the DQ--his favorite place for chicken strips!!! Then we had ice cream--I had to get a hot fudge sundae!! How funny!!!

Whats the weather like for ya'll today? We have a small cool front coming in and it's raining to beat the band!! Dark and pouring rain!!! 80% til late Wed. night/early Thursday. You would know it, Mike has a house waiting to be bricked this week!! Ha!! Maybe next Monday!!
