May 11th 2008 ~ Any Double Dippers Out There?

[momof4ngls]

Karen - oh my gosh Sophie is so beautiful - but did we expect any less??

Yes, she is!! ALL the children (grown or not) are beautiful! Such happy looking families, too!!!

 

[CustardTart]

So nice to put faces to names! Though don't take it personally, it still doesn't mean I won't look right past you b/c I have the facial recognition acuity of a mole...

I am just the same!!! My DH is always saying "hi" to people when we're out at about, so I hiss "who are they?" and he replies something like, "our next door neighbours of the past 5 years!" Oh the shame!!! Anyway, great photos, Brandi!!! I'm all DCL delirious right now but NOT LONG TO GO, GUYS!!!!

...Karen - oh my gosh Sophie is so beautiful - but did we expect any less??

That's so sweet of you, Yvonne! She's mortified that I posted a pic of her but the arrival of cruise tickets and PassPorter pacified her somewhat...

...Karen, I'm in awe at how beautiful you are and have added my name to the list of people who are amazed you have a grown daughter!!

Why thank you! Tho' TBH I think Goofy's making me look good - I'm a bit of a disappointment in the flesh...

 

[CustardTart]

Lovely photo, Heather! Such cute boys and that's a beautiful dress you're wearing! I never manage to look that chic...

I've gotta get a decent outfit together soon as DD and I are dining at Victoria & Albert's prior to cruising. Hopefully it'll then be OK for Palo's and/or the Dress Up night...

 

[CustardTart]

Soooo, what do you do when you absolutely have to iron all your DS's school clothes for his return later today??? Any ideas???

We-ell, if you're me, you create a potential door magnetic design for your upcoming cruise - obviously!!!

So here's mine...

 

[disneyfool_1202]

Awesome sign!! I'm having so much trouble focusing on work these days which is BAD since I just started this job - I'm only on day 12 and I 'm already goofing off reading the Disboards!!

 

[garys12]

Melanie and I will celebrate our 13th Anniversary this December...

I need a vacation !!!!!!!!!

Suitcases are out - but still empty....

 

[disneyfool_1202]

Yup- 13.....
There are 13 of us in out traveling party.

 

[pamouselover]

Wishing you all a wonderful cruise. I am still following this thread, and hope you all come back and share your trip reports with me.

 

[princessh]

Just had the share, we just got our docs!!!!! The UPS man justed dropped them off. He must think I am wierd, I started jumping up and down when I saw who it was from! Time to dance!!!!!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Excellent news, Heather!!!

 

[Tarabra]

Got ours too!!! Although bummed that our room number hasn't changed. I've been checking but thought maybe they'd change it before we got our docs. I've heard of some people being upgraded at the port. We did book pretty late though so I'm sure there are plenty of others ahead of us.

[CustardTart]

Wonderful news about your cruise docs, Tara!!!

I'm having quite a lot of fun creating door magnet designs - it's proving a little addictive! Just gotta work out how to get them out of my MacBook and onto magnetic paper...

 

[Tarabra]

Nice job Karen. I love them. It's just mind boggling to me to see the text curved like that. (I know it is Disney Font and yes I did download it once ) But I'm talking about the way the words are. Just the other day I was trying to do something in Word and Rob was saying, "You just have to play around with it." That's my lack of patience kicking in I guess. Maybe that is why ALL 6 of our cruise pics are still sitting in the sleeves and not in Albums. I even have 2 DCL photo albums. Empty I might add.

I put Jonah in the big tub for the first time last night, he's been in his baby tub, and he went wild! Splashing and kicking. I had to strip down because I was soaked. He is going to go absolutely nuts at the pool at our Resort and at CC. They are both water babies I guess. Although poor Ava didn't get to swim at all last summer since I was pregnant. I hope CC water is warm. I know it's been a little cool at first when we've cruised in Mar., but usually is nice in May. Last time we were there was Aug. and it was like bath water. The way I like it!!! The rest of the weather was pretty toasty. I'll take a late April/Early May cruise any day!!!

Whew, my big sale buyers are going to come up the first week of May or else wait until the end of May to come up. I was sort of banking on that sale when i booked the cruise. I also have one closing tomorrow. Thank God!!! It's been a baaaaaddddd winter!

Wow Karen, I am in AWE of your door signs! Way to go!

I am also looking for magnetic doohickeys. Last time I just laminated them and used putty, but alas no more. So this time I think I'll just laminate them and IF I CAN FREAKIN' FIND IT I'll use the magnetic tape. Apparently there's some sort of magnetic supply void in Austin.

Tarabra -- congrats on the good news re: sale. Once I did the math in my head on your commission I almost choked. I mean, I love DCL, but I couldn't have given that up!

As for you people getting your documents...well, you just suck. UPS man hates me...evil, evil cocoa-clad beast.

I really thought it had arrived yesterday, but it turned out to be those Disney Mom packets. Not quite as good, but I will take what I can get But at least from that my lanyard is now sporting a sassy Tink pin. So woo-hoo!

 

[branv]

Oh, ummm....hahaha...errrr spoke too soon.

Immediately after I posted this I checked the front porch and wouldntchaknowit....tiny little envelope hidden behind a planter.

So I guess I suck too

These are so SMALL now! Do love how the ticket books slip just perfectly into the Passporter folders.

 

[momof4ngls]

We don't have ours yet either, Brandi, and won't for another couple of weeks.

Now, what is the Disney Mom thing? Am I missing out on something awesome??? LOL

 

[garys12]

got our travel book today!

kids are excited that we have our tickets to get on now!

Sometime last year there was a contest for all Disney "Moms" (actually open to anyone...dads, grandparents, aunts/uncles, you name it). To enter you had to write in a few essay-type answers to 3-4 questions. From 10,000 entries they chose, I think, 10 people to act as a Disney "Mom" expert -- i.e. moderators -- for a travel bulletin board (oh yes, and they won a trip to WDW). For the rest of us contestants (i.e. the losers), they let you sign up for the panel...and sent out a "packet" of promotional info about the parks (I think this is the 3rd planning DVD I have ), including a car magnet, mouse pad and a few pins. I was pretty surprised that they sent the last few things; never expected anything but travel brochures.

So you lucked out twice, madam - two packets from Disney!!! Tho' I am petulantly stamping my foot in cyberspace as I'm not a Disney Mom reject (and quite frankly, I should be) getting special pins in the post!!!
