LuvLuvLuv's Memories TR Starts Pg 73 - Honeymoon Day 6.1

[elleinad16]

I really can't believe it's all 2 weeks away. This time next week I'm going to be having friggin' cardiac!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

Ooh, your countdown is getting so close!

Great decision to change to the CR with the MK view. We stayed in a grand villa (absolutely awesome!) at BLT last year and the view from just the observation deck was amazing - to actually have the MK view from your room is the ultimate. To see that view whenever you are in your room will be so cool.

I know you have mentioned the monorail but being able to walk to Magic Kingdom is so convenient and really can't be beaten.

Hope the rest of the planning goes ok

So Close!!! I think we'll love CR!

Two weeks! You are so close!

Woohoo! So close!

Holy crap you're so close!!!!! I don't think I commented but YAY FOR THE CASTLE!!!!

Yay Castle (that's the official castle dance, lol!) Um, really close!

I really can't believe it's all 2 weeks away. This time next week I'm going to be having friggin' cardiac!

Yeah... I'm not sure how I'm going to manage my life next week--I know that I'll probably be the most insane person ever. I switched purses and my Rx is not in this one apparently... I will probably need to make a trip home on my lunch, lol... here's why:
____

Well this morning I looked at my ticker and saw it said 1 week and 6 days. This means I leave in 1 week and 5 days. This also means that I have NO days off between now and then. I felt ill when I saw my ticker. Something about the change from the words 2 weeks to 1 week just made me feel like jelly. I have so many things to do, but like most of my precious nights off... last night was no exception to getting nothing done. Tuesday was my other night off and I had a bout of vertigo, Wednesday I worked all day with a migrane, and yesterday the cramps knocked me over from morning till night. At least that mess will be out of the way. I also had an eye appt yesterday--was quoted $65 with my insurance--then they made me pay $118... awesome But I have contacts, a higher Rx, and I'm doing my best to adjust... but I hate them. They are super convenient in WDW though.

Here's the bulk of my anxiety. My to do list, my wedding budget, my regular budget, my wedding documents, etc are all kept on my personal drive at work. My computer is in an odd spot under my desk, so I never use a flash drive because it's so awkward--i just use the network. Well an update to the network took out my personal drive and no one can find it. I am panicked. I live my life by those spreadsheets. My life is in those spreadsheets. I have labels made for the announcements in there--everything. I also needed to make ADRs for my May trip, but the park hours and restaurants that I wanted are in there. I have to get it back!!! They were here looking at it at 8:30... but I haven't heard back--I want it now!!! I can't calm down, I'm afraid it's lost in the abyss and I'm going to have to use my burnt out memory to try to piece everything together. Stress.

I have to coordinate a time for my friend to cut my hair. He knows exactly what I want--and I trust him. I am going to beg to be off on Sunday--I need the day off soooooo bad, and I'm scheduled 3 of 4 Sundays on this schedule. There's 3 of us that work there, and I don't think it's fair at all. The only one I'm not working is the one that I'm out of state. Ridiculous. Sunday is online check-in. I put in requests for King Bed, Away from Chef Mickey's, High Floor. Hopefully since we get there on Wednesday the crop of rooms will be better since it's still a few days before the crazy weekend!! I was going to add "odd number room" so the bed could face the castle, but I thought I better not push it

Pray that I get my personal drive back. I'm freaking out. I use it for everything and I am sooooooo lost without it. Lots to do this weekend!! Everyone stay sane and warm!!

Just read through the last few pages of your PJ after spotting you posting on other PJs You are so close now, how exciting! The castle view will be amazing!!! I would love that, maybe in a future trip. Do you just check with reservations every few days?

I really hope you find your files soon so you don't have to worry. I look forward to reading all about your magical day and trip

 

[librarygeek]

Fingers crossed about your computer troubles! I don't know how much control you have over what you can do with the computer since it's a work computer, but things like that are rarely lost forever. Usually if you lost it due to some sort of update just doing a system restore to an earlier time will bring them back. And then once you do some sort of backup would be a good idea, even if it's just emailing the most important things to yourself. Not that I'm one to talk - I haven't backed up my files in forever! I should probably do that soon...

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

Access is back. All will be okay!! Since I didn't have much to do without it today I did random things. Like trying to figure out the real cost of the memories package, lol. I could be way off... but this is what it looks like to me:

I read my whole ceremony in 4 minutes so I know the entire shindig will not be more than 15 minutes with lollygagging involved.

$1991

In room celebration: $275
Bouquet: $150 (Guess--it's small and I think Escape is worth $200 so I went off that since Escape's are way nicer)
Photographer: forfeit.
Violinist: $60 (I think 3 hours is/was $575 - actually would be $48 for 15 minutes, but I'll pay him/her for the time to walk out there, lol)
The remainder is $1506 which means I'm paying $100.40 per minute to use the location

Accuweather said it's going to rain--so that conference room better be reallllllllllllllly cozy for $100 a minute

Obviously this was just me messing around out of boredom---but I like to know what I'm paying for, lol.

I'm also contemplating being done worrying about money and telling Dave that he has 12 days to come up with $1200. I've done all the worrying this whole time, so maybe it's his turn. I know I have a few cards one their way--but I don't want to let him know that... let's just make him sweat for a minute

Alright... well have a great weekend everyone!!

 

[megsters]

Oh girl, I've spent the last 3 days at work reading our PJ (..hope no one pulls a productivity report....yessch) Such a roller coaster-I've laughed so hard I've nearly peed and cried a bit along the way. I think every single thing that could happen to you while planning a wedding DID!!

BUT I can't wait to see it all, I'm SO excited for you, it sounds like it will be FABULOUS!!!

CR sounds amazing. And I agree, its not fair to have to work 3 out of 4 Sundays..thats not nice, and yes, it might make some of your stress disappear watching Dave squirm about money for just a minute. Or three.

I'll quit rambling. Don't stress too much over the weekend. Have fun!!

 

[BethieTink]

OOOhhh you're getting ready for your trip too!! Exciting!! I think it'll get worse before it gets better, lol---but it'll all be great!! Where are you eating the 9th?? We'll be at Narcoossee's--then hanging at the resort!!

Deena,

Sorry I have been AWOL, but we were away for 2 weeks (Disneyland was awesome, you are goingto love it!) and I am finally getting all caught up. Still need to read all of your updates, but didn't want to wait to wish you the best as you get to finish line.

We are staying at the Boardwalk and doing the Studios briefly when it opens and then we are in Epcot all day for F&WF. Eating at the Hacienda that night. Sorry we will miss you, but maybe if you come back down for your anniversary we can connect then.

Hope all goes smoothly for the next almost 2 weeks.

 

[Princess SarahK]

Im caught up!! So glad you got your drive and sanity back!!! Can you believe how close we are now?!?!?1 Holy moly!! We leave on the 9th....so only 7 more days of work before its PARTY TIME!!

I feel like there are so many little things that are sneaking up on me and freaking me out little by little! Sounds like its that way for you too...glad its not just me but hopefully we can get it all sorted out before we go!

Just a few more days!!

 

[CDsSleepingBeauty]

I just wanted to say that I love all of your plans! Your wedding dress is so pretty and elegant! I think waking up to a view of the castle will be amazing! I can't wait to see pictures!!

Lol Thanks!! Are you packed and ready to go??

_____________________________________________

The weekend... semi successful. Got a free dinner at Carrabba's on Friday, lol. I got a pizza and it was a bit spicy for me so I asked for a box (I knew DF would chow it down) but never complained--he asked why I didn't eat it--I told him it was spicy for me, but I had someone at home who would love it and that it was no problem. Next the manager comes out, apologizes up and down and again I'm like... it's no big deal--I'm just sensitive and it WILL get eaten. Well he gave me everything for free, lol. I didn't even complain! Very nice and good for the budget.

Saturday I worked all day--accomplished nothing but money making. I saved up enough store credit from prizes and got a big piece of luggage that's a spinner. It fits all our wedding stuff perfectly. I had debated whether to ship, carry on, check.... I think this is the best option. Everything is in one place. Yay for a free $300 pc of luggage that was on sale for $105

Sunday I took a bunch of stuff to Plato's Closet and got $130. Not too bad. Went tanning, he wanted Five Guys for Lunch. Came home, I have about 60% of my stuff packed. We then decided on Outback for dinner--I had a free steak voucher. Then we stopped by Walmart for a few last minute things.

This morning--I woke up throwing up at 6am. I promised work I'd be here by 10.... my last mess was at 10am and I got here at 10:30. I still feel awful. I wanted to blame the Five Guys... but I have a hard time believe 1/3 of a jr. burger (it was too greasy for me so I gave it to DF) and some fries could attack me for more than 4 hours. I'm enjoying some water and an occasional saltine right now. At outback I had a 6oz sirlion, a lobster tail, fries and broccoli. Nothing too bad. I seriously feel like hell--I should not be here, but I'm out of time off with my vaca next week.

This week I'm getting my hair cut, finishing cleaning, packing and the announcements. Next week I only want to have hair coloring, nails, ring cleaning and massage left. Don't count on it though... I'm a procrastinator, lol.

Well happy Monday everyone. I'll be here Trying to hold it together. I'm getting married next week!!!!!!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Awww, feel better soon! You are SO close! I am so excited; I can't wait for pictures!

 

[librarygeek]

Hey, free food is always good! Sounds like you got some great deals this weekend!

But I'm so sorry you're not feeling well Maybe it is just some 24 hour virus type thing and will be gone soon. You're so close now!

 

[lilsqueakrr]

Lady you need to stop getting my germs through the phone! haha. I'm sick as well and it bites. =[ I'm hoping you get better asap! Get some tylenol severe cold. I swear by that stuff!!

I seriously canNOT believe as to how close you are!!! I wish I could find a way to fly down there and see you on your day! haha. I'd be the creeper standing off to the side creeping on your ceremony! Bahaha!!

Love you lady! <3 Cannot wait!

 

[pinkmiss3]

I hope you feel better! I can't believe that your wedding is so close. By the way I LOVE your dress. Its just so pretty and I think it looks great on you!

 

[ladyemz]

Hope you are feeling a bit better today, so close now!!!

Are you a DVC member? Sorry if you have posted that somewhere else but I woudl love to wake up with a castle view on our last day so thinking of adding one more night to our vacation and booking a MK view room, just not sure how to do it! lol.

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

Awww, feel better soon! You are SO close! I am so excited; I can't wait for pictures!

Thanks! I'm trying to get excited... but thru not feeling good and having soooooooo much to do--I have this overwhelming stress, lol! Next Wednesday I'll be alllllllllllllll better!

I'm thinking that's what it was I feel stomach better today... but I had a migrane all night--probably from only drinking water yesterday. It's always something. I have some OJ this morning so I can pump myself with Vitamin C!

I'm getting married this month!! We're not DVC yet.. hoping to buy in by the end of 2012, or early 2013. I do rent points a lot!! Why don't you book a Contemporary Tower MK View--just a regular room. That's what we're doing for the first 4 days. I think the castle will be amazzzzzing!!! I am feeling a little better... thanks for asking

_____________________________________

It's NOVEMBER

It's here... my wedding month is here!!! Yesterday I was a sick mess, up all night with a migrane (probably from no caffeine yesterday), and today I have decided I have to get better, lol. I have a check up for my contacts today--they are going to give me samples to get me thru the trip which is great--so I don't have to mess with all that till I get back.

I forgot to report about that BM dress I had bought back in August with my other dress deposit. It was supposed to be in by Nov 1. I called Saturday and the girl said... well it's not on a rush since the wedding isn't until November 2012 I said.. no.. the wedding is November 2011--I ordered this the first week of August. Silence. Oh--she says. The kind of "oh" that tells you, oh, I'm sorry ma'am, you're screwed. She said she would have to contact the vendor on Monday and would call me. She called me yesterday and said it would be here today that they are overnighting it Funny how that works. The bad part is that it's a 45min - 1hour drive and I only have Wednesday night off which I was getting my hair cut... but I moved that to Saturday. So much for free time. I told DF to get his hair cut on Saturday and that I would highlight it that day when I get home from work.

We decided to cancel our Artist Point dinner the first night. We're going to get In Room Dining and watch fireworks while I get my cosmetics set up for the morning. I think that'll be fun and relaxing.

I really am anxious to get away. I can't believe it's here already. I'm so glad we're not waiting another year for this

Today I am Single Digit Dancing!

 

[elleinad16]

NOVEMBER?!

I can't even comprehend it. I can't believe we'll be at Disney NEXT WEEK.
I can't believe we'll be MARRIED NEXT WEEK.



Better hold on to your you-know-what!!!

 

[librarygeek]

Single digits!! And that was really good that the store was able to overnight the dress! That's a relief, when you first started talking about it I thought you weren't going to be able to get it in time.

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Eek! You're getting married this month. I am so glad you didn't wait a whole year longer. Can you imagine?!?!

I love the idea of in-room dining and watching the fireworks. It will be quiet, romantic, and tasty.

Also--- SO glad your dress is coming in on time! Whew.
