Life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks: final update 12/29, p.98

[rentayenta]

I'm with Chloe. Give me that extra 5 minuyrs.

She's a cutie. Please tell about the fire? Im glad everyone is ok and Loren is a hero! What's the damage? What started it?​

Turkey with cranberry sandwich? Sorry it was dry. It's one of my favourite combos.

Mine too. It had too much mayo and not enough of the good stuff. I did get a side of cranberry though. That made it a little better. I'll stick with the original for now on.​

Turkey with cranberry, mayo and salt and pepper are pretty awesome.

On white bread! ​

I'll have to try mayo next time.

Its so good with mayo. I'm not a huge mayo lover but it goes with it so well. I just put on a thin layer.​

I thought you only had a split stay last time, THV/AKV. What is the triple?

Or are you talking about your spring break trip with the 1 night surprise in the middle and vegas on the front end?

We spent the first night of this WDW trip at AoA.​

That's my one issue with split stays - I like to unpack completely and I don't think I'd like to re-pack and unpack again...
Sorry your sandwich wasn't better.
Can't wait to see pics of Kidani!

Great conclusion to your 33 lunch. Cookies sprinkled with pixie dust have to be the best tasting sugar cookie ever.

We had a little trouble getting out of the THV by 11am, too! But you did it and right on the nose!

Beautiful pictures from your final trip from you THV. Hard to say goodbye and you see it get smaller and smaller in your view.

It's so sad to see one "side" of a vacation close up, but I'm always excited with the possibilities of the next resort. It sort of changes the whole vibe of the vacation when you switch resorts.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

Love your review of the holiday sandwich. Is it seasonal? I've honestly never heard of it but now I want one, now! LOL

Looking fwd to your arrival at AKV

Just catching up. I am like Chloe, a night owl and I will always choose sleep over getting ready.

It's silly but I wanted it to be fantastic. Maybe I built it up too much. It is after all a sandwich.

I fell in love with Kidani. I have uploaded part of the pics and am uploading more now.

I agree about packing. With AoA we hardly unpacked; toiletries, bathing suits, and pajamas but after 5 nights in the THV everything was out. I like to fully unpack too.​

It was bittersweet for sure. We loved the THV and I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. I'd recommend it to anyone. We had no transportation issues. I think a lot of vacation is attitude. Of course things go wrong but I think not getting worked up over the little things helps.

For sure, the vibe totally changes. We stayed with the nature, brown theme though. We just switched continents.

I can tell you that adding on at AKV will be right after our GCV add on whenever that may be. I really need the 11 month advantage.​

Thank you. It is a seasonal sandwich. I was surprised they had it mid October. I really like EoS. There is truly something for everyone and it's so inexpensive. ​

Just catching up. I am like Chloe, a night owl and I will always choose sleep over getting ready.

Hi friend. Good to see you. I'll tell Chloe she's not alone in her quest for sleep. I've never been a good sleeper so it's so foreign to me.​

Where should I start? Tuesday morning around 4ish Kacy came upstairs yelling at us that the garage was on fire. Loren had smelled smoke and investigated by the garage door. He heard crackling. Ran to the kitchen got my fire extinguisher and tried to put the fire out. Because of that we were able to get out from upstairs. Kacy went first then myself then Scotty. By the time I was going down the stairs it was filled with white smoke. As Scotty came out the door the white smoke was a fireball shooting up the stairs.

Loren got my mom, Kody and the two dogs out the backdoor. Scotty had to kick the fence in to get them out. The fire was so intense by the time the fire department got there that they evacuated 3 houses all directions around our house. Here we stood watching our house burn down. I was in a big tshirt nightgown and being filmed be news crews.

I will add more later because it is too much right now.

O.M.G. There are no words to express how I feel for you and your family reading this.

I'm so sorry and I hope everyone is okay. Take care of yourselves.

Oh my gosh this is terrible! At least everyone is safe right? Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Is the house a total loss. I am in tears for you this is devastating.

Michele, I am so very sorry and sad for you guys but so glad everyone, including the fur babies, are safe. What a terrifying experience that must have been. You're all in my thoughts and please reach out if you need anything.

Loren is so brave, you all are.

I hope insurance doesn't give you grief and steps in to help. Is there a fund somewhere for donations? Has the Red cross stepped in? There are so many resources but I'd be in a total state of shock and wouldn't know where to begin. I'll check your Facebook for any help from your community.

I told Fran about this and she had a plan. Heck she was ready to set up a PayPal account for people to start making donations. Michele tells me she has a PayPal account already so maybe we can get that set up for donations.

Excellent! You two are awesome!

Michele FBd me this morning. I think she's trying to get a new laptop, hers melted and then she'll let us know. I just feel sick for her and her family. I hope her insurance is stepping in. So tragic.​

My thoughts are with you. How scary, but what a relief that your family is OK. Please keep us updated, when you can. It's crazy how quickly ones life can change...

OMG, my garage caught fire on Easter Sunday. We got the fire out but flames were 5 ft high at the time and in a matter of minutes, this could have been us! My BF's name is Loren. He got the fire out. Instead of no house, we have ServPro. Tomorrow they come to seal and re-paint the garage and Monday, all of our fully clean, salvagable items come back. I feel so blessed we didn't lose the house (tuck-under garage). My heart goes out to you. Keep us updated on what we can do.
