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

[Northern Disney Girl]

Hmmm...... too many choices


Ok, he's just one on the very long list of people I would like to meet. Someone said something about being a girl in regards to who to meet. Yeah my list is basically males! (and to most of whom I say "i'd have their babies )



Marco....

POLO! Hey Red! How're ya doin'? Do you have to work early in the mornin'?

 

[sarbah77]

Hey kids!!

I had a 1:30 meeting and, at that point, sitting hurt. So I stood for it... it worked because I was doing most of the information dissemenation. But when it was done, man, I really hurt. DH left work early, picked me up and tucked me in to bed, where I slept for about an hour and a half. I needed that nap to keep me up until bedtime! But hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow!! (I think it was gravity on my reproductive system and it went "I QUIT NOW GO LIE DOWN!" <-- and I feel like a total whiner because everything makes the surgery out to be "oh, no big deal, up and at 'em in a DAY!!"... but then you throw in general anesthesia, which people say delays the pain for a day, plus the reaction to it, plus the fact that, hey, the doctor did carve out a piece of me and maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself? But still. Whine. And I forgot to eat today. I never do that!!)

Question of the Day: If you could meet anyone while at Disney, who would it be? I'm talking people here, not characters!

It is the place where dreams come true, you know!

I'd actually like to meet the bassist of two bands I enjoy. This is not an impossible task, except the bands generally skip Detroit OR play at a venue that I'm "not allowed" to go to (I've had friends who have had friends murdered there so....). I have simple goals!

better still get wiped out real quick. Doing lots of needlework, reading, sleeping. Chuck & kids have been great around the house. Watched a movie Man of the Hour with my mom. She just left so if I can convince the dogs to give space on my bed its naptime before kids get home.

Glad to hear you're up and at it!! I'm in a 2+ weeks version of your 6 weeks. We'll have to avoid looking at Cap'n Sparrow as a group!!

Do any Michiganders have a spare room I can borrow for rest of this week? I Can't take much more of this Football talk about my team.

Kitties are fine although i'm not much of a cat person. How far north am I going and if I have to listen to team bashing at least it will be right team getting bashed

Well, it looks like that's all set! Otherwise, you could share a room with my friend who is visiting. I think we're going to the mall Saturday afternoon... you could come with, or you could visit a sports bar in town with a lot of other sad drunk people as the team gets crushed. At least it's not a home game for me!!

Alright, bedtime for this bozo!

POLO! Hey Red! How're ya doin'? Do you have to work early in the mornin'?

I'm good. I'm getting rather sleepy though. Yeah I have to work at 5am. Crap...that means I should be getting to bed soon

 

[laurainsem]

Mmmmm..... thanks Trixie!!!!!!!
That man is definitely my #1. If he came knocking on my door....

 

[Northern Disney Girl]

Well, I'm done for the day! Off to bed for me! Hope all y'all have a good sleep and a good morning! I'll check in at lunchtime! Nighty night!

 

[Northern Disney Girl]

I'm good. I'm getting rather sleepy though. Yeah I have to work at 5am. Crap...that means I should be getting to bed soon

So go to bed already! Nighty Night!

 

[crzyred]

Good night my fine feathered friends!

Now please...no new threads tomorrow!

 

[laurainsem]

I absolutely James Marsden! He is one of the only reasons why I watched ALL 3 X-Men movies! Hairspray is my current fave! Love that Corney Collins!

He's in X-Men?! I honestly had no idea, as those movies never appealed to me either. You SO know i'm Netlixing those now! Ahhhh, James Marsden....

Hairspray is actually on right now. Corney always makes me happy. Music and eye candy! Does it get any better???

 

[Mndisneygirl]

If no one from your troop has said it let me....Thank you! I'm a leader for a troop of 11 4th grade Juniors and our Cookie mom is doing it again this year for the 4th year in a row. two years ago we had 14 girls and were the 2nd highest selling troop in the area. Our Cookie Mom had her entire game room filled!

When are you scheduled to start sales? We haven't heard yet and I wonder if it's due to Hurricane Ike causing things to be delayed or backed up? Our website still lists Jan.12 (this year on a Monday) as our start date and that was last years start on a Saturday. They just asked for us to forward Cookie mom info about 2 weeks ago, But I haven't heard a thing.

Thank you very much. This is my second year doing it. I was the troop leader for a year of Daisies prior to that. Didn't like it much. This is better! My go date is Sat. Jan 17. Last year we were on vacation for that, so DD7 told everyone to wait for her - they did! This year we are home for the first week of sales and then gone for two weeks. I'm supposed to turn in the numbers the day after we get off the cruise! Since I'm driving home, that is not happening. Luckily, my troop leader is stepping up to input the numbers. For my DD, it means that she will only be able to sell for one week. We'll be going crazy that week!

Good night all! Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!

Hello Snowbirds,

I have finally made it through all of the last thread and found we are on page 13 of this new one. Wow!

I wish to welcome all new Snowbirds!! I think January is looking to be an excellent month to go.

Some comments from the last few days:

My family are all looking forward to swimming and wearing our shorts down in Florida. We are going to be freezing up here and looking forward to the no snow down there.

I hope everyone is safe and getting healthy. We are going into our final months and we don't want any sick Snowbirds not enjoying their Disney trip.

Thank you for all the eye candy. It is a welcome sight to see.

Dining: I too would have thought the final list would be out. I have my own suspicions on why the different cut backs. I am wondering if too many people were complaining about the lack of walk ups available and thus cutting back on certain restaurants. On the other hand, I don't understand why they would risk walk ups compared to reservations. Lucky for my family we will only have to change one and I may try to make it for Crystal Palace at supper instead of a lunch. I also might try to get an ADR for 50's Prime Time Cafe or Sci-Fi at one of our DHS nights or change it totally to the Wave, as that is one I think my family may enjoy.

Any feed back about the 50's Prime Time or Sci-Fi or the Wave would be welcome.

Thanks Remmy

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS THREAD! I WANNA PLAY!

Here's my info: 1/25-1/31
Eating at:
Ohanas
HoopDeDoo
Chefs de France
Wolfgang Puck
Hollywood & Vine
Libery Tree

I would like to meet: Chris Cornell.....are you kidding me?!? I can't even talk about it........
actually, maybe not MEET. He's very man-pretty and I LOVE his music. But I am not sure I am really interested in what he would have to SAY.
For conversation, probably Christopher Walken. He's the funniest dude ever, and probably has some incredible stories.

So anyway, nice to meet you all!

 

[MindyLuvsMickey]

No flames please! I don't like Michael Phelps either. He does have a great body, but that's about it for me.

I'm with you on this one

Nice to have you here!! You're going to fit in perfectly fine!!!



Good morning Snowbirdies!!

I'm doing NOTHING today!! I did most of my cleaning yesterday and got all of my DS Christmas shopping done. I'm going to relax most of the day and dream about Disney.

 

[Lil'Mermaid75]

Okay, seriously...I left on page 5 yesterday... I had to get through 8 pages this morning!! Yikes - we're a chatty bunch! Now to catch up!!

You chatterboxes nearly succeeded in losing me! You can not shake me that easily!

Phew. Glad I found you all again! I've gotta make that final payment by the 24th...which means we're closing in on just 45 more days until that magical trip!!!

Well, time for bed. I'm here. I found you. I feel better!

We're glad you found us too!!!

I'm all for A nascar weekend. But my Driver is Tony Stewart. And worst part about it is my Dh works for Lowes.

I'm with ya! I'm a Tony Stewart gal!!! And he lives part time in Columbus, IN - just 45 minutes from me!!

Wow 9 pages already! Chatty snowbirds!

I'm off to a job interview.. my first for after I graduate with a bachelor's so fingers crossed! I suppose if it doesn't work out I always can pursue a life in disney!

GOOD LUCK!

Eye Candy and a Menu- what more could a girl want!

Thanks for posting the Coral Reef one today- we're heading there for my hubby's birthday lunch- shhhh it's a surprise. I've heard okay things about the food but I've heard great things about the atmosphere. I think the kids will like it!

Couldn't have said it better! We really like Coral Reef when we went on our last trip. I thought the food was great (I had the steak - DH and DS both had some kind of fish). DS cleaned his plate!!!

If you are ever in my area around Christmas time and you hear way too loudly I want a Hippopatumus for Christmas blaring in some woman's car and a lady rocking out to it even louder...pretend you don't know me LOL

DH & DS LOVE that song!! Of course, now I have it in MY head!

Now there's someone to drool over! I wanted one of his songs as our wedding song but dh doesn't like him- a little intimidated by Mr. Chesney now are we?

What a wonderful Hubby!

Okay, I think I'm all caught up! Good morning Snowbirds!!! Happy Wednesday!

 

[Remmy]

Good Morning Snowbirds,

I wish everyone a healthy and wonderful day.

I am off to work, so no DISing for me until tonight.

I bought Wall-E at work yesterday. They had a one day sale. I bought it for Christmas for the family. It is so hard to keep it a secret. Usually throughout the rest of the year, I buy it that day and we have movie night that night. Due to Christmas and our limited budget now, I am saving them now for presents. My children aren't fully understanding it yet. I cannot wait until Christmas, as we can then spend the day watching their new DVDs.

I was reading from before on this thread that there may be more perks released during the Christmas parade. I hope they release them earlier so we don't try to phone Disney or our travel agents right after. I am still hoping for free dining.

Have a fun day Snowbirds.

Remmy

 

[jenjolt]

Good night my fine feathered friends!

Now please...no new threads tomorrow!

We have at least 4 more days before you have to worry about any new threads LOL

 

[MindyLuvsMickey]

We have at least 4 more days before you have to worry about any new threads LOL

Ha! Ha!

 

[Lil'Mermaid75]

Jen - I blame you for the song in my head. I'm walking around work this morning singing "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas..." MAKE IT STOP!

 

[Lil'Mermaid75]

We have at least 4 more days before you have to worry about any new threads LOL

Have you re-worked the calculations?

 

[Dancegrl624]

Good morning Snowbirds!!! I'd like to give a big to any new Snowbirds that we have. Yea for newbies!!!!

Girl scouts- My DD isn't one, but we have already bought our cookies. I will actually be getting them tonight when I go to teach dance. One of my students is a girl scout and I helped her reach her goal of 500 boxes! I can't wait to get my cookies!

It is absolutely FREEZING here today. The little weather thingy on my laptop says it's 20 degrees! Yuck. Of course I have a lot to do today and that requires going outside. I can't wait for vacation! I will definately be bringing the shorts and bathing suits with us. It will be so nice to get out of the cold and snow!
