Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too........

[sewer]

Hello all! It's been so nice for the last two days here in Ohio, but that could change at any minute. It is kinda neat that some of us wear some sort of clothing that has a bit of Disney in it (I think it keeps the kid inside of us happy).

Hello everyone....I can not believe we are less than 2 weeks from leaving. It is go time now. I need to start planning out our days and getting our touring plans in order. I have not even decided which park for which day yet! How crazy is that.

Oh and Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am an addict!

Step 3 Do not look at the price, you can not buy something just because it is a good deal!

 

[pbharris4]

I like Step 3!!!!! I could have used that one last week. My mailperson dropped off 4 boxes today (all from Bath & Body Works). Debbie got some too.

Anyone have a STEP 4?

Jaclyn (in my best Ricky Ricardo voice)...you have some plannin' to do!!! I can't believe your trip is almost here! Tammie is in Vegas, I believe, Lisa will be in WDW soon, then Debbie. Me and Sewer are the last to go . We'll have to live it through you guys so you all better give us something to hold on until then!

Ooh, I have one:

Step 4: When shopping, ask yourself: Do I really want this? Do I really need it? Will I really use this or will it just sit there? Do I already have one like it at home?

These are the questions I hear DH ask whenever I get a package in the mail...

Hi Guys…..
Sorry I have been MIA. I have been away from the house the last couple days and then when I do get on-line I run out of time so… fast.

Someone out to lunch came up to me today and said "did you just get back from Disney???" and I replied "No...I dress like this every day!"


Still no car or resort/hotel room booked! I better get that done!!!!

TinkLvr (Maureen)
Pbharris (Pam )LOVE my BBW stuff!!!!! I am looking forward to the new Pineapple scent coming out! I am especially addicted to the C&W Lemon stuff for some reason...especially the scrub!
DisneyOhana (Lisa) Are you hanging in there? Hope you are doing better and your family is all doing well.
hannahsmomma (Jaclyn) Good luck with the finalization of your plans! Wow! Doesn't it creap up fast!
Magicfor2 (Tammie) Hope you are back safe and sound from Vegas and had a nice time!!! Sorry I missed wishing you well ahead of time!
Ahibird (keahi)
Sewer How's it going?
tea4sanity (Joanne) ....is in WDW right now I think!!!!
WELCOME......maiziezoe! If you ever need us we are here!
Oh and BTW...it's cold here again (hopefully not for long)
Hope I didn't miss anyone! Hope to talk more later.

Lastly....I know the steps but can't do it!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sick! I love to shop when there's a great deal out there!!!!!!

 

[Debbie6221]

PAM!!!! Great siggie pic!

 

[pbharris4]

Thanks!! I really want to find the Cheerleader skit one with Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, and Jim Carrey. (In my best cheerleader shout) "OK!! Letttttt's Go!" I was a Co Captain Cheerleader in high school. Soooo long ago.

Love the CW Bigelow stuff. Love the Aromatherapy Lavender Vanilla hand soap..must by the shower gel, too. The CW Bigelow Lip shines are really nice too. I've seperated everythng and put it all together for the gifts I'll be giving and I'll have to try things one at a time. I get VERY, VERY bad contact dermatitis from BBW stuff (their classic line) so hopefully none of this will affect me. I didn't get classic line stuff. If I do..I'll have to take what ever I am allergic to back and get a ton of candles or Wallflowers.

Hi everyone!!!!! Where are you all at?!

 

[disneyohana]

I'm here. Just lurking most of the time. Some days I just have nothing interesting to say so I don't want to bore everyone.
Pam - I loved those skits on SNL, too. Those were the days. I'm sure SNL is still great but we just haven't been watching for years.
Debbie - I was wondering where you were. We used our AAA card and saved $26 a night on our room. I also used it for my sister's and uncle's rooms. You save 5% more on deluxe hotels.
I am so... crazy excited about my trip.

 

[Tinklvr]

Hi everyone. Its been nice all this week, so I've been trying to get outside as much as possible. Today we are back to the fifies, though. I was having so much fun dressing the kids in all their new Gymbo outfits.

Yesterday was DD's birthday. Now she is 4! I just can't believe how fast time goes. We went to Chuck E Cheese for dinner. DH and I could barely get the kids to bed last night b/c we were exhausted. Luckily, the kids were exhausted, too, so they feel asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

I am so excited (and jealous) of everyone's upcoming trips. We are going in Oct
so I should get started on the planning.

I have gotten a little better over time with my shopping problem. I have cut back on things for the house and kids' toys because I am so tired of cleaning up clutter. Everytime I reach for sometime in Target, I think of where it will go in the house and that has helped me to cut back. I still have a major problem with clothes, though. I have to take advantage of being able to dress the kids in whatever I want while I still can b/c I know that it won't last long!

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[pbharris4]

Know what you mean about being able to dress them in what you want while you can. My older DD (now 11) would wear Gymboree up to about 8-9 yo and that's when she started to faze out to abercrombie, hollister, american eagle, Ltd too, justice, etc. She's tall for her age and well everything in those stores is cut small so it fits her. She's in a NO PINK stage right now.

Lisa....glad to see you are still hanging out with us. I don't always have things to say either. It's no big deal. We all have other things going on. How are you doing? Excited about your upcoming trip?

disneyohana, MAGICFOR2, and Debbie6221 ~ thank for the welcome!

Tinklvr ~ my little girl has the same outfit as your little girl!

I can't find a picture of her in the sweater.

 

[Tinklvr]

maizezoe...your DD is so sweet! I love that outfit, don't you? I got almost every piece from that line really cheap! Do you have a Gymbo addiction, too?

 

[disneyohana]

Pam - I'm doing okay. I am so out of breath from doing little activities though and almost fell asleep watching DD playing at the mall. I have had congestion and sometimes a cough for a month or more but I feel worse lately. I think I should see a doctor before Disney, just in case. I just hate spending the money if it isn't serious. We only have a $30 co-pay but then if they do a test all of a sudden you're paying $100 or more.

Maziezoe - What a cute baby. We love seeing pics here. Although I have to have my DH post for me.

Hey, I just saw you live by me!!!! Where are you at? PM me if you prefer!!!! I live on the NW side of Chicago by Superdawg. How exciting! Lisa (Disneyohana) is by us too!

We are home. It was a wonderful vacation. We were able to see just about everything we wanted and still had time to relax. We stayed in the Ft Wilderness cabins and would suggest them to people with kids. I didn't have to worry about the noise level coming from the irate 5yo LOL when she was over tired. There was enough room for us to be comfortable. We didn't rent the golf cart and were fine without it, but it would have been nice to do a little more sightseeing with it. Maybe next time. The bus service in the fort was simple. Getting to the parks was easy too.

For anyone thinking about NOT using a stroller. Think again. Getting around in the parks during the day was simple without it. Getting to the bus at night was hard. If you keep the kids moving they are ok, its just standing there that is hard. They also fall asleep on the bus/boat and you then have to carry them. On the 3rd day we went to walmart and bought a $15 umbrella stroller. DD(5) is over the weight but it did fine for the small amount of time she was in it. We rented one in the park and checked ours. Theirs steers better in the park and was more comfortable. At night we turned theirs in and got ours back. Worked out great! They say not many people know about checking your stroller so it isn't used often.

If you are on the DDP, don't be afraid to use the credits. I guess because it wasn't very hot or crowded we didn't use all of our CS & snack credits. The last day we bought another family their lunch.

We did have a great time. At some time over the weekend I will get the pictures online & attempt a trip report. .

 

[disneyohana]

tea4sanity - Glad your vacation was great. Thanks for the stroller advice. I didn't know that you could check your stroller. My dd may only want her pink one though. She is obsessed w/it. You never know though. She may be okay if she sees all the other kids in the rented ones. We did not get the DDP because we are usually drinking a lot or eating at CS. I get dehydrated at Disney pretty fast. I can't wait to see pics and hear your trip report.

 

[Debbie6221]

Welcome back tea4sanity!!! I am glad you are still at our thread. I love your trip report so far and would love to see pix!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Everyone! We had a great conference in Vegas! Came back with some really fun natural lip gloss and yummy natural body wash and body butter and purse sized spray! Also a foundation that immediately relaxes the muscles in your face - LOVE IT!!!!! Oops! I just got so excited!

About DL - went there today and got my Disney fix! We got there at 8am when the park opened - no crowds for 3 hours!

We went on Space Mtn, Indy, BTMR, POC, BUZZ by 10:30am - then over to CA for TOT, Soarin' and Grizzly Bear Rapids - stopped for a churro, and back to DL for lunch at Pizza Planet by 1:00 pm. Then on to the monorail for a round trip and sneak peak from above at the new NEMO ride - looks like it is almost open. Then out to DD for a little shopping, then to Company D, the CM store with HUGE discounts - DHs uncle has a CM friend - it was friends and family day at the company store! Got a beautiful watch for 70% off!

We were back at the house by 3:30pm! Must be a record Disney day for us!!!! It was fun and relaxing before the crowds got there. I'll be home on Monday - catch up to you then! Take care! Tammie
