I haven't been around becuase we have been running errands for her shower this Sunday. She is good thank you for asking. They think she will go to term :woohoo: I have been super busy w/ the Badookie being summer and all. I also have been trying to organize this house :scared1:

Kara- I am going to upgrade our tickets this trip to annual passes. My 1st ever WOO HOO!!!!

Jillian - VERY important!!! Do it BEFORE you set foot into a park!!! That way you get credit for each day that you have already purchased. Very important!!!!!! When we went on the 5th day, they were only going to credit us for the 2 remaining days.... I think they messed up by issuing us more credit than we actually spent on the tickets, but who am I to question Disney math? And if the first CM tells you something that doesn't sound right, ask for someone else, or a manager. Because it was actually a manager who gave us the big credit. But I've heard that if you don't do it BEFORE going to the parks, that each time you pass through the entrance turnstile, it takes away from the credit.

The only thing that is a pain is the DDP. Once you upgrade to the AP, your room key is no longer your park ticket. You will begin using your AP immediately, and your room key is just for charging privileges and DDP. It's weird.
 
Well, I thought we were leaving right at 5pm for our "date" but Jeff just started mowing the grass! Then he'll need to edge and trip, then shower. Guess we're not leaving at 5, huh?

Here I am all dressed up with no place to go.... :sad2:

LUCKYYYYY!

At least you have somewhere to go! I am cooking dinner, taking Meg to band, going to work out, then to pick her up. Darrin's going fishing after work out. I'll be DISing in between. I am trying my first t-shirt tomorrow! :woohoo: I will have to post a pic! Have fun!!!!

Renee - glad you got rid of the kid terror! I have one over right now that keeps asking for food. I think his mom doesn't feed him. I had to tell Taylor THAT'S ENOUGH!!

Later!:grouphug:

Later!!
 
I feel like George Thorougood right now - "I drink aloooone..."

Jeff is running through here dripping sweat. I sit here with my glass of wine and my DIS buds. Oh wait! My DIS buds have desserted me too!

"I drink aloooone...." :rolleyes1

I even did my hair today - big fat curlers and all...

"I drink aloooone...."

And I'm wearing makeup....

"I drink aloooone...."

Even lipstick.....

"I drink aloooone..."

Kara- Poor thing. I will take your advice about the AP's. It just seems worth it to me. I think I can convince Mike to go away more if we have them. They are just so darn expensive. Have fun on your date where are you going?
 
Oh, I DON'T drink alone! Thanx Jillian!!!

We didn't do the "real" APs - we got the FL season passes, and they're like $230/year for adults. Aren't APs around $450? But still, they give you full ticket price per day for your upgrade. So 7 days is what? $300 or so? So you're really only paying $150 each for the AP upgrade, and you know you'll go at least one more time within the year, so they've paid for themselves already. Add in another "quick" trip, and you've more than made your money!

I can't tell you the last time I wore makeup! Oh, yeah, the closing on our house, May 23!

And my hair is growing out, so you can imagine what kind of time I have to put into that now. It's usually a headband or a hat!!!
 
TGIF!!!

Renee – Your niece is beautiful!! Congrats! Your kids are adorable too, and I love the pic of them in the backseat! That is so sweet! Does Mia have Crocs on in one of the pics? I cannot wait to buy the little Crocs for my niece! She is only 6mos, so it will be awhile. Hmmm…I will need to borrow your idea for the canvas for the girls rooms! They have little covered boards, but not that big. Where do you get them? Last question. When do you think you are going to get your kids some toys??!!! I miss those days!

Kara – When does Ally come home?!!

Cammie – How was the concert?! Will you be posting JB pics? I hope that you didn’t get rained on too badly or at all!

World Traveler, I mean Tammie (HAWAII???!!), we were talking of going either of the last two weeks of Sept, depending on what the rates are when they come out. That is awesome about the house and your offer to share that deal, but w/the rates that the girls were talking about for a couple of the on property villas, and w/sharing the cost, I think I would rather stay on property, have use of the buses and take advantage of EMHs. That way, everyone can indulge at Epcot, or anywhere, w/out having to worry about who would drive, or making someone sit w/a bunch of goofy women who are indulging in drinks, while they are not (you are so sweet to offer that, but it’s no fun!). I am not a big drinker, but one drink can put me into total goofiness, especially being around a bunch of friends who are drinking and having fun… Also, we will only be there for 3 days, so we will want to cram in as many park hours as possible. Maybe, if it turns out to be less expensive in the house w/the rental car, and some want to do it, some of us can do that, and some of us can do the on property? I am so glad that you are going!!!

Hi, Tina!!

Tammie - those houses look great! But I agree with Pam that I'd much rather stay on Disney property. We love rental homes when we go to the beach, but at Disney, I don't feel like I'm really there unless I'm riding busses and monorails, and walking 12 miles to my room! :rotfl2: So, are you in???

That's fine! I love to stay on property, too! I'm in! :yay: Did you say value, cuz I thought someone said SSR. Let me check on "member cash" for that property - or did you already, Pam? Also, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but Shades of Green has rooms almost twice as big as the SSR studio - 2 queens and a couch bed, plus good discounts on the park tickets for those of us that need them. I can get up to 5 rooms, we use the disney transportation system, or theirs, which BTW was much more prompt and way less waste of time - have all of the in the park bennies, and it is across the street from the monorail. (across the street being about 1/4 mile :)) I think with Jim's rank, the room is $109 for 4 and $139 for 6.
It's $189 for a suite that sleeps 8. I'm just thinking cheap cuz of the airfare and 'splainin' to Jim or in Renee's case, Ricky - how this trip with a bunch of cyber friends makes sense :rotfl2:

Kara, you will really have to meet us in March so Jim will know you are not a stalker! :lmao:
 
Well, I'm home alone and I'm drinking alone! Poor me!:sad1: (honestly, I'm really enjoying the quiet right now)

Pam - I'll be posting pix from the JoBros. concert a little later. They're not the bes (I really need to read my camera's manuel) but you'll get the idea. They were really good and very cute. Nice boys!
 
Good evening ladies!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Friday! The weekend is here. This weekend we have a wedding to go to..this one's the best, she was a nun and he was a priest and tomorrow they are getting married. Hold the shock.....okay let me hear it. I'm so excited for them, they are very cute together and will be happy!

I'm doing some super organization this weekend. Actually I started at Lowes in their clearance plant department and got scioba's for $2.50 and black eyed susan plants for $3. Yeah me!! So I'll be downsizing the junk and upsizing the fun.

Have a great weekend.

I'm drinking, too - Pepsi! I'm on my way to a church BBQ, then I have to see a client, so no drinks for me yet!:thumbsup2
 
I really don't mean to be a thread killer.....:goodvibes

I'm still around, Tammie. I'm just trying to get another installment on my pre-tr; some people had expressed interest in the concert we went to last night, so I want to get the info. on there. I'll be back and forth here though.
 
I really need to get on your PTR - I have been so behind, I just haven't started any new ones - I will be there, I promise! :hippie: Glad the concert was fun!
 
i'm a looser and didn't get on at all today. Tim broke the computer. Guess I should have texted one of you. I will attempt to go back and read but it might not get done as both girls went to the lake. Tim and I are having personal time this weekend woo-hooo!!!
 
SO - I finished my "Snow" and here she is...

I know that Cammie had a hard time figuring out what I was doing, so I'll just say this is cut in layers. First layer - black, peach, red, blue, yellow, white, brown and then all pieced together (like a puzzle) to make the picture - make sense now?
 
So tonight is date night. My cheapo hubby is taking me to the clubhouse to use our $50 gift card we won playing Bingo at the pool back in March! Yes, I said Bingo. And no, it's not a retirement village I live in! Just thought I'd make that clear before some smarta$$ asks (Renee!). :rotfl2:
:
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Honey, you know me well. I had already hit that quote button before I got down to the last sentence! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

BINGO
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

:confused3 Have fun at you cabana. Will it be a late night date? Better be home by 8 before it gets dark - and don't forget Jeff's Bifocals! :rotfl: Hey - don't forget to register for craft night - and maybe see if you can get into the "Sweating to the Oldies" class! :lmao:

Okay - DH is dying for some attention, lucky me! I'll catch up with you tomorrow and read the rest of the posts - this is as far as I got tonight.
 
Renee - You're Snow White came out so cute! I'm still not sure I "get it"; but it does look good.

All right, I've posted these pix on my pre-tr; but I thought I'd put some here:

Tailgating at the Jonas Bros. concert......

Make up is just crossing the line. NO makeup EVER!!!!

I can't tell you the last time I wore makeup! Oh, yeah, the closing on our house, May 23!

I wear a mask 99% of the time.:scared1:

Kara, you will really have to meet us in March so Jim will know you are not a stalker! :lmao:

That is exactly why we are planning this trip. We ALL need to be convinced Kara is not a stalker.

I've hear of Shades of Green, but don't know much about it or haven't seen pics. It's probably too early for us to pick our resort? Once we know who's in, we can decide, maybe after the holidays? I just know that I would like to stay somewhere that has EMH and ME! I love that service! You are lucky to have connections, Tammie! Thanks for offering them to your CFWW buds!

I'm doing some super organization this weekend. Actually I started at Lowes in their clearance plant department and got scioba's for $2.50 and black eyed susan plants for $3. Yeah me!! So I'll be downsizing the junk and upsizing the fun..

Head over this way, Tina! Scobia?? Is that yours and Kara's secret language?:lmao:

Tim and I are having personal time this weekend woo-hooo!!!

Okay - DH is dying for some attention, lucky me! I'll catch up with you tomorrow and read the rest of the posts - this is as far as I got tonight.

Lucky girls!:lovestruc

SO - I finished my "Snow" and here she is...

Wow! That's pretty! It's going on the canvas? I can't wait to see the finished project!

Cammie - The concert pics are great! I am afraid to show them to my girls. I really need to take them to a concert. It looks like you all had great seats! Lauren looks like she's having a ball. She's a cutie!


Night, all! We're going to watch a movie, and I am going to peruse the DISign boards, nothing I am going to respond to...
 
I haven't been around becuase we have been running errands for her shower this Sunday. She is good thank you for asking. They think she will go to term :woohoo: I have been super busy w/ the Badookie being summer and all. I also have been trying to organize this house :scared1:
Jillian - so glad to hear she is better - and sorry the package got returned. That happened to me on a Father's Day Card :headache: It's been so hot here we've been indoors a lot. We've also been at our friend's pool a lot of mornings 10-12.

No One ever text pages me ;)
.
I'm lazy. Cammie is my designated text contact because she is the only one I have in my phone! :lmao: I put it in there when Amanda was in the hospital and saved it. I try not to do it too often at $1 a pop! :sad2:

Cammie - How is Amanda doing? Has she had another checkup done? I was wondering if she was back to herself and getting off the pain meds yet. Does she seem like the surgery has left her discomfort better than it was before?

No, if you're talking about me using his truck - I have to. The weekends he takes the girls, he has to take my van because it's wheelchair accessible; and I have to use his LandRover. I hate that thing! It's too trucky for me and on top of that he has - no exaggeration - FOUR Nascar stickers pasted all over the rear window!
Yeah, it was the truck. I mean, I know that he probably needed your van. Honestly Cammie - I know this sounds rude, but my parents acting so civil for the kids wouldn't have happened. My Dad and SM got up and stormed out of my undergrad graduation because my DM & DSF were in the same AUDITORIUM. Right before I walked, I watched them leave without saying a word. :sad1:

That's fine! I love to stay on property, too! I'm in! :yay: Did you say value, cuz I thought someone said SSR. Let me check on "member cash" for that property - or did you already, Pam? Also, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but Shades of Green has rooms almost twice as big as the SSR studio - 2 queens and a couch bed, plus good discounts on the park tickets for those of us that need them.

Kara, you will really have to meet us in March so Jim will know you are not a stalker! :lmao:
Tammie - you are just Ms. Hookup there, aren't you! So do you mind me asking what branch of service Jim was in? My SF was in the Navy (Atlantic) and I have two Step Brothers - one served a 18 mo tour in Iraq and the other leaves in Oct. I love military families. :goodvibes

I don't know - this is just my two cents - but if we all were okay with splitting a nicer room 4 ways to justify it as a "cheap splurge" would that be nicer and leave more openings in the SOG for service men & women and their families to enjoy during their leave :confused3

The other thing I would throw out there - and I don't know if you would be interested or not - is what about staying somewhere that we typically wouldn't stay. This may be a me only thing, but I know our trips are ultimately revolving on the kids (BTW - Carlos is leaning towards Poly because of Mr. Stitch Lover. :rolleyes1 ). I don't know - maybe I'm wrong - but isn't SSR the one that has that spa? That would be awesome to get a massage while there :cloud9:

I'm flexible and can go with what the majority wants. That is just my little thoughts for what they are worth. BUT I DO THINK YOU ARE SO SWEET TAMMIE - you are always offering up good deals, or offering to help someone with something (BTW - Mia's bottom is finally red free, so I'm going to give the samples you sent me a shot finally! :banana: I just had guilt trying them while she was still chapped in case the active ingredient is the issue for her.)

i'm a looser and didn't get on at all today. Tim broke the computer. Guess I should have texted one of you. I will attempt to go back and read but it might not get done as both girls went to the lake. Tim and I are having personal time this weekend woo-hooo!!!
:cool1: Glad you are getting some down time without the kiddos there!

Pam - hope you are enjoying movie night.

Hey - and here is a question too... I know Kara mentioned something about a cheap rate at SSR - now isn't that close to DTD? I haven't been, but would we be able to quickly get over there for dining and shopping? I'm still not sure I understand how that whole area is set up. I thought it was a bunch of clubs with just 2 or 3 stores, but I'm gathering there is so much more there.

Maybe I should look at resorts on my TGM so I know what you guys are all talking about. I'm a little more familiar with SSR because my friend owns a DVC there and loves it. She has literally talked about DVC until I want to puke! A walking ad, she is. I bet she gets something for a referral - right? :confused:

Where are some yummy places to eat? Is there one nice "must do" dinner we can do. I'll go on record as the person who can find something to eat just about anywhere. That is why I'm so skinny! :rotfl: ;)

Okay, I'm going to try to make myself go to sleep now. I seriously hate this lack of ability to sleep thing. Drives me nuts. I'm tired, just can't sleep. :mad:
