Hahhaha how funny .. I looove that thread

Anyone heard from Jillian? i was wondering if they got there okay.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

OOOOOooooh, GOODY GOODY GOODY! Tomorrow I get into the fifty plus day mark!

 

[Debbie6221]

Lorrie...I so need to sell my stuff! I just procrastinate left and right doing it! At this point I wish I could have someone sell it for me!

As for the 4/3 deal. I am all over that accept the cheaper resorts aren't available for that week plus you have to buy a package to do that not "room only". We will see what the future holds. I can't believe the airfare is still low for that time. Again it would be 150.00


Kara...I know what you are saying too. That's why I can't decide. I go back and forth with it.


Laura...snow mobile or not stop being happy about that darn snow.

Cammie...I feel for you but I am not surprised. She is unfortunately going to take all of this out on you. You might just have to explain to here that that is what she is doing!

Lastly, I could do Naples in June too I guess.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Screw practice! That's ridiculous! It's not like the kids are 16!

Happy painting Kara!

Yeah to Jillian who is off.....

Laura..how many pedals have your girls earned?

Renee......good luck with EVERYTHING! Don't put too much on your plate though or you will stress. That's cool about the HM movie.

Cammie....I CAN NOT believe the snow you are going to get! I feel VERY bad for you because it is just getting ridiculous now!

Thanks for your opinion on SSR Tammie. I can't figure out why it is left when nothing else is? Plus if you choose that resort they are giving you a WDW gift card!

Did you guys see my post about WDW planning? Any ideas for you professionals? If I can't do it cheap I can't do it. Also, just remember all the options aren't necessarily there anymore....especially in June.

I think SSR is left cuz it has a bad name - they are the "spoiler" of the DVC. They started selling points with bonus pts before it was open, and with it being so large, it suddenly made the dates for vacation more competitive. It is also quiet, which i love, and away from the parks and the theme is less "disney", i've heard.

Don't let that scare you - it is nice

Well, Jeff is feeling bad again. I thought he was over this cold, but he went to bed early again last night. He just needs to feel better by this weekend or he's not going to Disney with us!!!

Debbie - craigslist baby! I'm walking around the house trying to find more stuff to sell! Seriously. I got rid of that barbie jeep in 3 days, no haggling. I need to get our wagon on there, and Ally's crib and dresser. I just need to get the dresser out of the guest room upstairs - plus I"m selling my glider rocker that I kept in her nursery, too. It's all the same wood, so I'll sell as a package I think. I'm hoping for about $300!

I got two texts from Jillian last night, but they came through and just said "text" and then the phone rang, it was her, but nobody there. So I think it was an accidental dial or something. I had texted her while she was at the airport, and maybe she somehow hit redial...... Or as the commercial says, "her butt called me."

Today painting the living room and dining room. Or as much as I feel like doing.

Try ebay too if it is smaller stuff that would sell well. I KNOW you said you had a lot of scrapbooking stuff unopened - that stuff should sell well. Just an idea.

On the cheap resorts being sold out. That stinks. It is a little funny too, because for our dates all that is available are the really really expensive or the values. I keep telling myself that if the AKL opens up again, we might just switch, but so far no luck. Also, SWV buys blocks from Disney. Seems like you don't like to fly SWA, but they have them. You can buy your air & room from them - but I think for that deal you have to buy park tickets too because they give you 3 free days of room & 3 free park tickets too. It is a really good deal, but if you are staying at a value - it becomes less of a deal - KWIM? I think we are saving almost $1k with it. PLUS Mia is still free this year & she wouldn't be next.

I still think the June trip with your mom would be good since you could split the cost. Seriously - beach trips cost more than you realize. I was PISSED when I realized last year that our little beach trip was Disney minus the airfair. We seriously spent $279 A NIGHT for our condo, plus then groceries and dining out, then activites - A DISNEY TRIP, I TELL YOU!

BUT - all this said, you'd have to be willing to go in knowing no MK view sweetie! And don't forget you can do the QS dining package if that helps you - plus you get free mugs with that package too.

Kara - painting again? Please come here and help me out!

I started my "healthier eating habits" program today.

So far so good. Then again, getting on the scale made it easy. I weighed in at a light 183.4. Oh, yeah, baby. It's on!

Cammie - I agree with Debbie - maybe you should just say something like I know you are having a tough week, and you may not realize it, but it is coming out in the way you are acting with me.... Lauren is such a good kid. I seriously doubt she knows she is doing it Cammie.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Guess what - remember the friend that ruined Mia's birthday - remember she wanted to come for Nicolas' birthday? We told her that we'd be at Disney?

You know where this is going right?

Guess who's AK day - May 3rd just got "we'll join you guys"

I told her that was fine, but to be fair warning, I was a commando in the parks and they were welcome to tag along, but I had my stuff laid out already.

Kara - this is BSIL equivalent. Can't we just hook them up?

 

[CRdisMom]

yikes!! how many days will she be there in addition to the AK day?

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

yikes!! how many days will she be there in addition to the AK day?

They overlap us the day we get in, and then the next two days. I am putting my foot down about Nicolas' birthday. She has a little boy that is 3. He is very much PHD age - so I'm not even sure we are doing PHD at HS just because that is Nicolas' day - KWIM?

He's wanting to meet power rangers, fight Darth Vader, etc.

Even at AK, she is trying to "suggest" we change over to do things her son would like - like Nemo. Neither of my kids are that into Nemo and it is on our list of if we get to it, but certainly not my first thing of the day. KWIM?

I put a cal in to tell Carlos. He is going to hit the roof! There is such a long story with her. We weren't going to have attendants at our wedding - but she "appointed" herself maid of honor, so Carlos had to pick a best man and he REALLY didn't want to do that because he has 4 brothers and 2 good friends. He has resented her from that point on I think.

Every time she has came down it has been a mess. Carlos told me last time she would NEVER stay at our house again.

This could be interesting...

I just hate that she is doing this. She can get him pissy about Disney right off the bat. That is so not cool. So very not cool, but I feel like a B***h if I say, "No, we aren't meeting you".

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

So I called Carlos - left him a message - he called. I told him that she was going to be there and wants to meet up the first day or so. his response?

"LET ME CALL YOU BACK IN A MINUTE". He did NOT sound very happy -

See - here goes a fight - I can feel it in the air.

No offense but part of me feels like I so wouldn't keep after someone to do so much with me when I've turned her down so much here lately, then part of me feels like I'm a bad person. I should be nice. etc.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Now - if I think honestly through this though...

We have 8:30 at Tusker. So - what 9:30 to be done?

Then grab FP to KS - go watch Lion King, meet Stitch I'm sure, TS and tour the animials.

We've got 5:00 @ Park Fair that night - and Mia will need a nap, so we'll probably leave AK around 1 or 2 latest. Can't be that bad - right?

 

[Debbie6221]

Lorrie...I feel bad for you with the friend situation. I would be REALLY pissed! I am so evil I might even lie or manipulate something so she wasn't with you on Nicholas birthday but I am evil!

 

[CRdisMom]

d not feel bad for telling her no. It took to much to get carlos to this point. Tell her you can meet in Dinoland and the kids can play. My heart goes out to you.

 

[Debbie6221]

As for selling things you guys are so right you don't even know! It's my BIGGEST obstacle. I don't get rid of ANYTHING with the intention of selling it. Because of this I have hefty bags and piles and rubber maids EVERYWHERE waiting for me to go through them. I probably could pay for a whole trip with the amount of good **** I have...I am not kidding. I just NEVER get to it! I am an idiot.

Obstacles......

The task is so big I never take it on.
I never know what to charge for my items.
I don't know where to begin.
I have some weird emotional attachments to some of it.
I don't know how or where to go through it.

I am not kidding when I say it is the reason why we don't have anyone over. There is crap all over my place waiting for me to pitch it!

Good point Laura! AND I always laugh when you post from your phone! I can always tell! LOL!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Well - now my mom is thinking they will come wed - sat.



What the h*ll did I do in a past life - can someone please tell me?

Okay Debbie - you have to let it go sweetie. You have to. I tell you nothing feels as good as getting rid of the stuff. Last year I did a mass amount as a donation and it really helped our taxes. It was a PAIN. I had to take pictures of everything, and list each item, but we got over $700 extra back as a result, so it was well worth it.

I sold some stuff - 10 items on ebay. That was a little nutty, but I did really well. It was dies for my broken Quickutz machine - and I maid $400.

As for yard sales, it is A LOT of work and you never know how it will do. It is so hard not to get attached to kids toys. What I've started doing is taking a picture and letting it go. Once you do, it gets easier and easier. Here for you anytime and I totally get it because that is totally me.

 

[karajeboo]

Debbie, Here's my sentimental take on it - sell the s*** and move on! Seriously, it feels a LOT better to be holding a cool $100 than to have Ally's Power Wheels jeep sitting in the garage, kwim?

Lorrie, do NOT answer your cell phone when she calls. Seriously. For some reason you just do not get good reception in Disney. I hate it when that happens....

I suck at painting. I am a great trimmer - I don't tape anything - just use an angled brush.... but I suck at rolling. I think I push too hard and roll just as much OFF as I roll on. so it will be two coats.... crap!
