First off, SINGLE DIGIT DANCE BABY!!!
Thats right, we have 9 days left!
Well, its been crazy around our house, as usual. I have finished a Shutterfly photo book for the friend I took wedding pictures for. Her coupon expired at the end of this month, and guess what!?! Ill be gone at the end of the month, so I had to finish it before we left. I still have to order her 4x6s too.
And we went to visit my best friend and her hubby, who work at the Indianapolis Zoo. And we got to pet and feed a walrus! It was SO COOL! This is him. His names Brutus, and he was so cute. And some other pics from the zoo as well
This guy is making a move to somewhere near and dear to my heart (and probably many of your hearts as well).
Its feedin time!
Look at the baby!
Now then, this past weekend, in addition to working on that photo book, we did some serious Disney shopping! Omigosh! I just LOVE Disney shopping! We got snacks
We have to have gum for driving through the mountains on our way down. Cold Eeze (per Melindas suggestion
) and Halls just in case. Granola bars, of course, and I also got Fiber One bars. Snacky items for the road trip
and of course, On the Go mix-ins for the bottled water we bought. (I didnt photograph the water because it looks like well, water.
) I also got little bottles of diet cranberry juice, some cereal, yogurt, and Im going to get some apples closer to time to go. Since Ive been eating better, I need to have a few healthy items on hand so I dont get too messed up. Sometimes Ill want to counteract all the junk with something normal. Im really looking forward to the junk though.
We also got some essentials tissues, Q-tips (DH says the ones I take in a ziplock with the cotton balls get puffy), band aids (well be taking a lot of these as Im still wearing one on my toe every day
), Clorox wipes, ponytail holders, heat pads, a cold compress, Purell, antibacterial hand wipes, Listerine (or leterin, if youve read my first trip report), and Oxy Clean spray. DH was thrilled by that last one. He loves Oxy Clean.
DH thinks he is funny and said the cold compress was for me swan diving off the Disney buses. Hardy har har!
We also have Listerine breath strips, antibacterial lotion, Tide pens, etc, etc, etc left from previous trips. When I get the new camera bag kit made up, Ill photograph it as well.
We also went shopping for some clothing items, but I didnt end up with much for the trip. I have some new work clothes now though! I did get two pairs of jeans, which Ill wear some evening if it actually gets cool enough for that. And I have an order coming from Old Navy that includes a pair of brown shorts that were on sale for $12.99. DH did get some clothes for the trip on our shopping excursion though. At Old Navy, he got 4 polos, 2 button-up shirts, and 2 pairs of jeans, and I got a pair of jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a short-sleeved sweater for work, and a pair of ballet flats, and our total was about $200!!! Wow! Are we bargain shoppers or what?
We also purchased a new pocket-sized point and shoot digital camera. I know, I know, why am I getting such a camera? Well, we may want to take it to Pleasure Island sometimes, and we are going to two concerts in October (John Mellencamp and Fall Out Boy) and want to be able to take pictures, and they dont allow SLR cameras at most concerts. So we basically wanted to have something we can take places that we cant, or dont want to take my other cameras. Its a Fuji 50fd, and Im really hoping for good low light performance since well mostly be using it in low light situations. I got the battery charged yesterday, and I am going to play with it some tonight. I am also going to photograph all my other photography equipment so I can show yall what I take with me to the parks to get all the pictures Ill be posting on the report.
We have also added our Grand Gathering number to our reservations, added one to our Hoop Dee Doo ressie because our friend Jill is bringing someone (another DISer!
) along with her, and Im trying to get us an appointment for the Grand Floridian photo session. Since Ill be buying the PhotoPass CD anyway, the session fee will be waived, and the photos added to the CD. Bonus!
I also downloaded WDW to go from Steve Soars website for my ipod. It has general info, menus, and entertainment schedules. This is the first time Ive done it, and Im looking forward to seeing how I like it. I heard about it over on the DISappearing Peep Meet thread. (Thanks punkin!) I received a lovely newsletter from one of the DISappearing Peeps with all of our meet info. It is so cute and helpful! Ill be printing it off and placing it in my PassPorter.
Many of the DISappearing Peeps (and readers of this TR) will be leaving THIS WEEK! I cant believe it is getting so close. And once theyre gone, Im going to be even more anxious to leave! Is it time to go to Disney yet?
Ill likely be posting more tonight or tomorrow, once Ive had a chance to play with the new camera and photograph all of the equipment and our survival kits.
I love all of ;your pictures! The one of the bride in the doorway, Wow!!
)
And I'll try to report on it very thoroughly for you. 
I can't explain to you how much I love Walt. Of course, you may already understand. But that is just amazing to me. I've never been to California either, and I think California Adventure looks really cool too. I'm just thrilled! So yeah, I can't wait to get to the place where it all began! 
Not sure if I'll have time to correct that before we leave or not. 
my lensbaby! The picture of the pink bouquet that I posted earlier was taken with the lensbaby. Here's one from the friend's wedding I shot in July.
