Marilyn I also though it was saturday when you posted, lol. So count me in the senior moment. It wasn't until you pointed it out that it clicked.

Pj

And it was certainly ok with me to be one day closer!!

Deb, think of your suitcases, I am thinking about a sweater, a couple of tops and a couple of bottoms. Think that the resort is the best idea.

Pj

It's not a problem PJ.....I'm resolved to taking two check in suitcases now because my fish gifts won't fit into a box of the required size. Since I bought the big rig 30 duffel, I'm going to use it for my misc. items now.....fish gifts, tiaras, pirate costumes, etc. it will be mostly empty. Then we can fill it up too to take everything back home that we buy and receive as fish gifts from others.

So I've got plenty of extra room. It's not a problem. I'll PM you with my address and you can place the order now.

I will get you Linda when you return.

You know, you are right. Anyway, we have enough to pack without adding green sheets as well! Wigns, formal dresses, fiesta dresses, every day dresses, Tinkerbell outfits, Mermaid outfits, We only have so many suitcases!

Thank you so much Kelly.....that's exactly how it works at WDW too. It's great to know in advance. I always like to get to the parks when they open so I'm assured of getting one. You're the Best!!!

It does sound like we are getting a little carried away aren't we.....after all, we do have to pack all of these extra things.

Ian,

Sorry about all the trouble you are having with Tuxxman. I feel bad that I recommended them.

Cork

Cork,

I'm glad you recommended Tuxxman. I'm happy with the parts of the tuxes I've received so far. This is just a minor blip and they are sending out the shirts, studs and additional vests. They're making everything right, which is what is important.

I would happily recommend Tuxxman to others. The price I paid for the two tuxes, tails and the extra white dinner jackets, vests and bow ties was WAY under what I would have paid for renting, which was the original plan.

So, thanks for the recommendation!

Just a quick pop in to say hi! Got out of work early today, office closed at noon. Not happy about that because that means I lose a few hours of pay. But, making lemonade out of lemons, I went up to help a short while in Tyler's class (it's always fun to watch those little munchkins in action). Rushed home because my dad & stepmom are coming for a short visit. I didn't get my cleaning done yet, so they're going to freak when they see my house. They've never seen it messy and this is beyond messy. Oh well....life goes on. Will work on cleaning tonight in between catching up with you chatty folks!

Ok, our national TV station is airing a 2 part mini series Called Trojan Horse, here is the outline.

"Paul Gross is Tom McLaughlin, a politician who watches from the sidelines as Canada relinquishes sovereignty and joins the United States. The former prime minister refuses to lose his country without a fight. The ensuing global political thriller unfolds in THE TROJAN HORSE, a two-part, four-hour miniseries, premiering on CBC Television, Sunday, March 30, at 8 p.m., and concluding Sunday, April 6, at 8 p.m.

Set in modern day North America, McLaughlin watches as a majority of Canadians vote to join the United States of America. The Canadian flag comes down and the country is redrawn into six states. Backed by three powerful European intelligence agencies, McLaughlin runs as an independent for president of the newly formed United States with his ex-wife, Texas Governor Mary Miller (Martha Burns) as his running mate.

Veteran British journalist Helen Madigan (Greta Scacchi) uncovers a shocking plot to undermine democracy in the U.S. Believing McLaughlin is an honest broker, she looks to him to expose the corruption in the current administration but instead, discovers a diabolical scheme that will unravel families and nations."

Should be an interesting program.

Sounds good PJ.

Well it was a beautiful but nithering day today. We went for a longish way round walk to town and had coffee and a bacon butty. Then we looked around and shopped a bit before I went to the hairdressers. 2 hours there and we met up again for the first of my birthday treats - afternoon tea at Betty's. Yummy. It is a bit of a posh cafe and we have been a few times, but the actual 'afternoon tea' is always too expensive - hence the treat as I have always wanted to indulge.

4 finger sandwiches, choice of smoked salmon, Yorkshire ham, free range egg and mayonnaise, or roast chicken. Then a scone, jam and clotted cream. Followed by 3 mini cakes. All served beautifully on a 3 tiered china cake thingy! Tea was loose tea served in silver teapot. So very civilised! Let me tell you that it costs £14-95 - probably around $35.

Queue was outside the door when we arrived and it took us 25 mins to get a table. Getting in practice for WDW!!!!!!!!!

Now the clouds have rolled in and we are preparing to wake up to snow tomorrow.

We're going to Veni Vidi Vici for dinner tonight. Italian food! But we have to go downtown Atlanta, not what I am looking forward to but will take a pit stop so that Brent can see the Easter Bunny and get a pix taken.

 

[gydell]

Brent's pix is gone!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Marilyn, i think you would love the afternoon tea at the Grand floridian. It is in the Garden View Room.

Pj

 

[gydell]

Now everything is gone!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Gydell I can see it all. Brent, Duck, and hip bunny.

 

[granmaz]

Brent's pix is gone!

He's there.

I am thinking of trying it in December. Previously we have been on the Dining Plan and it isn't included and we couldn't fit any other food in!!!

We also have the Palo tea booked.

 

[granmaz]

My Mickey Path ticker goes away every now and again too. Strange place this Disboard.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Palo tea is a good warm-up.
