Mentally Preparing: A Focker, A Croc & Waldo hit POFQ! Trip Report Link is UP!

[Goofyluver]

You get a whoohoooty for the docs!!!

And...can you see me giving you the foaker???

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

About time! I was just thinking to myself that I hope she gets that package...so we don't have to hear about anymore

I'd love to see what you cupboards look like!

Have you ever seen the movie, Sleeping with the Enemy?

How ever did I manage Disney with two pairs of shoes???? Crocs and flops??

I change my shoes twice a day at home !

Sorry T can't believe I didn't post yesterday not that I was reading HP or anything

PM me the ending.... what happens to Harry???

Glad you sorted the pool out, so did you get soaked when you jet washed, I always manage too

I blasted the make-up right off my face in no time!

Wowsa, they really go all out, don't they?!

I know, huh? Last time we got AAA backpacks

I do have a confession to make though. How do I say this? I subscribed to *****************. There, I said it! Yes, curiousity got the best of me. Actually they come pretty close to TGM with some minor differences. I'm toying with the idea of combining the two plans. In my defense my heart belongs to TGM, he was my first 'ya know.

That's how I roll. I use TGM planning for mornings and UG for evening/afternoons. It's a nice combo!

Tracy,
Question...Eight pairs of shoes for you? I know about the 5 crocs, but what am I missing? (Other than potentially 3 pairs of shoes?) What more could feet need?

Well.... since you asked.... CROCs just won't do for me at the pool, they get wet and they squeek, so I have a cute pair of brown flips and then for our Lapu night I have a pair of bronze chunky sandals and then a pair of black chunky sandals (just in case! )

Well that's good...we are on a diet after all!!

OMG!!! I'm so sick of dieting! Mama needs a bagel!!

Mind if I use this picture? Tony actually mentioned adoption last week!! FREAKED ME RIGHT OUT!

Ok, we need to talk! This has been a topic of discussion in our house as well!

Love the picture!! Ahhh...candles...LOVE THEM...are you addicted to Partylite like I am? It's a sickness...

No, thankfully. I cured that addiction after I quit working. I am now officially addicted to Yankee Candle, since they opened one in the local mall!

We were just at Lowes AND Home Cheapo picking out paint colors - I want to repaint our master bathroom and I'd like to do it over with kind of a spa feel...really relaxing, KWIM? Maybe THEN I'll use that big old jacuzzi tub that I haven't even sat in since we've moved here!

Oh, you know what colors they have that are very "spa-esque"? Chocolate and light blue! Sooooo pretty together!

School supplies? Ummmm...ok....

Yeah.... well..... I like pens and pencils and desk crapola. I need a job - I loved being office supply monitor!

Oh no! Is he ok??? You may have answered this to someone else already...I'm a couple days behind...

So far, so good. He's like a little Energizer Bunny.... he keeps going and going.

Our crappy pool is doing the same thing...it's driving Tony crazy. Even shocking it isn't working. It's a real hazy light green and he can't figure it out...You should see him out there...rigging the vacuum and the filter, swearing....it's like watching Clark Griswold hang Christmas lights!

My new pump is coming tomorrow and I'm going to hook it up - I'll let you know if that works. My pool store guy said the little pumps these pools come with aren't worth a $%(#.

ARGH...you're kidding! You know, this has become somewhat of a sport in our house...Tony won't try anything on until the very last possible minute (probably to drive me crazy) only to find that half his stuff doesn't fit anymore...We actually ARGUE about him trying on his clothes.

No silly! They fit his body, they don't all fit in the suitcase! He can't figure out how he lost 6 pounds this month - DUH could it be that I cut out pasta and bread?? Men are clueless!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Yep - EIGHT pairs of shoes Sharkb8...watch - she'll end up wearing the same 2 pairs all week...

Love your NEW room....green & white tropical.....were you trying to go for a Poly kind of look????

I want to know how you guys get packed so early though???? My DH looks at me like I am nuts when I try to get us packed 2 days before we leave.

LOOK AWAY!!! MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!!

J/K - Andy is soooo used to me and my quirks, he'd be shocked if I waited until 2 days before we left!

And...can you see me giving you the foaker???

Can you see Waldo walking around telling people, "Are you a FOAKER???"

 

[Lauralee131]

OMG!!! I'm so sick of dieting! Mama needs a bagel!!

Ok, we need to talk! This has been a topic of discussion in our house as well!

WHAT?!?! Et tu, Brute'???

No, thankfully. I cured that addiction after I quit working. I am now officially addicted to Yankee Candle, since they opened one in the local mall!

OMG - you should see the place in Massachussets they have...it's like a Yankee Candle mall...you could spend a whole day in there! It's awesome...

Oh, you know what colors they have that are very "spa-esque"? Chocolate and light blue! Sooooo pretty together!

Yep, you're right!

Yeah.... well..... I like pens and pencils and desk crapola. I need a job - I loved being office supply monitor!

You kill me...just kill me!

My new pump is coming tomorrow and I'm going to hook it up - I'll let you know if that works. My pool store guy said the little pumps these pools come with aren't worth a $%(#.

Yeah, let me know...I just told Tony what you said...inquiring minds want to know!

No silly! They fit his body, they don't all fit in the suitcase! He can't figure out how he lost 6 pounds this month - DUH could it be that I cut out pasta and bread?? Men are clueless!

Oooooh!! I couldn't figure out why you went from saying his clothes don't fit to talking about bringing 1/2 the amount of stuff last year!!

 

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Ok... but first I'm posting a picture of the wild child that has become my darling son. Terrible 2's has got nothing on the HORRIBLE 3's!! He's become such a fiesty crybaby! He's never had temper tantrums like this. I took his picture because he refused to put his PJ shorts on an flung them across the room. He ran around screaming "Don't take my pisher!!!" Here's birth control for ya!

Tracey what did you do that beautiful baby? Did you pinch him? Then you made fun of him by taking his pisher? Bless his heart!

BTW, your a mom after my own heart!!

Now I can go and read the latest installment.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Well.... since you asked.... CROCs just won't do for me at the pool, they get wet and they squeek, so I have a cute pair of brown flips and then for our Lapu night I have a pair of bronze chunky sandals and then a pair of black chunky sandals (just in case! )

What is this power you have over me? First, you make me want a cookie, now you make me want to go shoe shopping?

 

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Alright Missy, I now officially have Travel Doc envy. Your docs came so cute, packaged neatly, AND with a journal.

I booked through Disney and mine came yesterday too!!!!!

I was all excited and went to show DD15 and she was like "Yeah, there nice."

What! Nice! "Why I oughta."

I swear teenagers drive me nuts, Oh well, when I showed DS4, he was like "We're going to Dissey!!!"

That's right baby, we're going to DISSEY!!!!!

 

[SINYMom]

It's Friday, the boss is out, it's slow so it must be time to hit the Boards.

So, you got your docs verrrrrry nice. Since we're staying on points, we only got a set of vouchers and our ME luggage tags. Of course my Disney lovin DS tore them right open when they came and did the happy dance. (a boy after his Mama's heart). I love the AAA pouches and the journal, maybe you should write in pencil and save the white-out. (I hear Staples has some nice mechanical pencils on sale for back to school.)

You packed??? How could you?? Do you have special clothes you only wear to Disney? If I tried to pack this early, my family wouldn't have anything left to wear. My big dilemma is how much to pack since I will have a washer and dryer in our rooms. My boys are buggin me to pack but, just can't do it yet, I always pack the day before we leave, I kind of have it down to a science and since the boys are older now (14, 10, 10) they pretty much pick out their own stuff. Does Minnie get to pick her clothes out?

A few questions though, what does LGMHPC mean anyway?? I got TGM, but what is UG? And how do hide that many pairs of shoes??

Keep it coming, I'm count the days with you, less than 4 weeks to go.

 

[Disneydad99]

A few questions though, what does LGMHPC mean anyway?? I got TGM, but what is UG? And how do hide that many pairs of shoes??
:

LGMHPC is lime green mickey head paint chip...you get them at Home Depot...& they are the official sign that you are a DISer...so run, don't walk to HD & get you some LGMHPC's...they are free!!!!

Example below

Just some of Mine>>>

don't Know UG?

 

[WDWHeather]

Woo hoo! You're almost there! So glad your documents finally came! That's always a great feeling. It has that air of vacation approaching! Also very glad that Donald's leg is healing nicely. Hope he behaves himself!

 

[Lauralee131]

I want to see pictures of the Lapu night shoes....

UG = Unofficial Guide to WDW!

I have a question I keep meaning to ask...does Waldo know his name is Waldo and that he wonders??? And he has a fan club here on the Dis? Like sharkbait?

 

[apirateslife4evr]

Whoot-Whoot !! THE DOCS ARRIVED !!!!! (thank the LORD, cause I was ready to send our dog-KONA out to look for you......)

Love the pics of the new BR.....anything tropical or POLY-themed gets a from me !!!!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

WHAT?!?! Et tu, Brute'???

Sorry. Should make an interesting conversation with Lapu's in hand, eh?

Yeah, let me know...I just told Tony what you said...inquiring minds want to know!

I posted on your TR. You were online, then you were offline, and then I went to call you at home and I can't find your number. Darn it. PM it to me again, please.

Tracey what did you do that beautiful baby? Did you pinch him? Then you made fun of him by taking his pisher? Bless his heart!

Yeah, don't let that punnam face fool ya. I always sing to him "You look like an angel, but you're the devil in disguise!"

What is this power you have over me? First, you make me want a cookie, now you make me want to go shoe shopping?

You're too funny! Hey, is DH back yet?? And when are you going to start your PTR? Or at least give us the goods on this new ticker.

Alright Missy, I now officially have Travel Doc envy. Your docs came so cute, packaged neatly, AND with a journal.

Let me just say, this is the first time our docs came in looking so purty!

I booked through Disney and mine came yesterday too!!!!!

So, you got your docs verrrrrry nice. Since we're staying on points, we only got a set of vouchers and our ME luggage tags. Of course my Disney lovin DS tore them right open when they came and did the happy dance. (a boy after his Mama's heart)

Let me just say, you're raising that boy right!

You packed??? How could you?? Do you have special clothes you only wear to Disney?

I buy all new clothes for Disney. Don't tell DH, though!

Does Minnie get to pick her clothes out?

of course! She's quite the fashionista!!

LGMHPC is lime green mickey head paint chip...you get them at Home Depot...& they are the official sign that you are a DISer...so run, don't walk to HD & get you some LGMHPC's...they are free

Thanks, DD!

Woo hoo! You're almost there! So glad your documents finally came! That's always a great feeling. It has that air of vacation approaching! Also very glad that Donald's leg is healing nicely. Hope he behaves himself!

Almost 3 weeks, baybee!!!

I want to see pictures of the Lapu night shoes....

I've got another pair of shoes coming by mail, so as soon as those arrive I'll post all the stuff. OMG! My room is getting crowded with stuff again!

UG = Unofficial Guide to WDW!

Thank you, thank you, Miss Cathy!

I have a question I keep meaning to ask...does Waldo know his name is Waldo and that he wonders??? And he has a fan club here on the Dis? Like sharkbait?

Yes, he knows he's Waldo. We've been calling him Waldo for a few years now and insists he's not wandering and that he know exactly where he is and we're the ones who are lost.

Whoot-Whoot !! THE DOCS ARRIVED !!!!! (thank the LORD, cause I was ready to send our dog-KONA out to look for you......)
Love the pics of the new BR.....anything tropical or POLY-themed gets a from me !!!!

Thanks! I was ready to send out a search party as well!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Is DH back yet? Surely you jest!!! Not until October. But I'm packing the boys into the car next week and we are going to go up there. Don't worry, I'll have my laptop AND I'll be back before all of you leave (although I'll be cutting it close with Jo).

And pre-TR? From me? Well, seeing as how I don't start packing until a day or two before hand, if I do one it won't be until much later.....I know, shame on me.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Tracy,
What are you doing on page two? Painting again? Packing? Getting a hair cut? Finding Waldo?

COME BACK!

 

[Disneyolic]

Page 2, huh? Okay everyone
... it's time for...

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Thanks girls! I've been AWOL reading everyone else's TR. There are so many great installments recently, I've been catching up.
BUT, I've got a new installment brewing either tonight or tomorrow. Got to upload the pics into photobucket.

Most excellent dear Mama. I did notice that you read my TR so all is well in my world. La la la la la.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I checked the calendar this morning....
21 NON-FUZZY DAYS!!!!!

It's not that I don't know how many days until we leave, I just like to see it.

In writing. Well, really on cut out Mickey Heads. Gotta save the pilfered ones for other purposes, dontcha know.

We celebrated Evan's 3rd birthday for the 2nd time this weekend. His official birthday is tomorrow, Aug. 1st. We had a smallish family party on Saturday with my brothers, their spouses and their off-spring. Great Grandpa showed up, of course with my Aunt. (Waldo's sister ) Who is NOTHING like Waldo.

But first, let me tell you all about Andy's sister and her mis-adventures to Disney World. Actually, she's still there until the 8th. You may recall how I mentioned they were staying at AKL, right? Well, 2 days before they left they received a phone call from Disney saying they are being moved. Their choices were SSR or BC. They ended up choosing SSR because the pool at BC can get waaaaay crowded and they really like their pool time. The went from AKL conceirge to a SSR 1 bedroom. Bigger, yes. As many amenities, no. They are getting a partial refund from Disney though. So anyway, I've been yakking to them about DVC right for about a year now. They just give me the "whatever" look whenever I start going on about it and how much I want DVC. They called us on Saturday and told us how much they love the SSR and are considering purchasing DVC. Boy, did I light a match under Andy's behind. If they buy DVC, then I'm buying DVC. They can't have DVC before me! Whatevah!

Some photos of Evan's birthday party.

OH and I wanted to show you the rockin' Tony Hawk lime green shirt Donald and Daisy got him. (along with a Captain Jack shirt and some cool camo shorts )

So with the party out of the way, I've really been able to sink my teeth into getting us packed and organized. If you recall, Andy's clothes weren't fitting in his luggage. So I mentioned this to Waldo and goes marching up to my room all shows me how to pack Andy military style. Holy cow, it worked. I rolled up everything nice and tight and everything fit, with room to spare! Well looky here, we learned something from Waldo. Could he be turning morphing into Super Waldo, Saver of Suitcase Space?!?

Look at how pretty my suitcases look now. I'd say we're about 90% packed.

Andy calls this the "Staging Area"

There are still things on the list that I need to buy: Sunblock, swim diapers, snacks for the plane, hair elastics, etc. I'll probably get all that on Target Friday. Yes, I have a specific day that I hit Target. I really had to update my spreadsheet. So, before I packed I tried everything on and played struted my stuff ala Mary Katherine Gallagher. I love, love, love that SNL character! Ok.... where was I? Oh yes... so Andy was sitting with me whilst I was re-packing and he spied my 8 pairs of shoes. He doesn't understand why I might need 8 pairs of shoes. Well, my reasoning was this: What other color crocs could I wear say if I were wearing jean shorts and a white tank top? Could I wear Lime crocs? No. Could I wear brown crocs? No. (well, yes, but he doesn't need to know that) Could I wear black crocs? No. So, can we agree that I will need to take my blue crocs? Yes. So there. I could justify every pair if I needed to, but he accepted that I would be taking all 8 pairs and we moved on. And here they are in all their glory. NOTE: 1 pair of pool flips are already packed.

So now I'm at the point of working on our window decor. I've got lots of LGMHPC's but how do I put those together to make a cute window decoration. Last year I made a LGMH foam garland for my balcony, but POFQ has no balconies. : I'll have to think of something.

I had to laugh yesterday at Huey and Dewey. They were over in the morning and I love that they ask me tons and tons of questions. They try to hide their excitement (they're too cool to be excited) but I can feel the buzz in the air around them. I was cracking up because we were talking about clothing. These boys are into a clothing line called "Famous". I don't know if you are familiar with it, but anyway they were teasing eachother about looking "ghetto fabulous" in Disney World. Well, I thought it was funny. They're both so worried about the weather. I'm worried about the crowds, but I know Lover is on my side, so we should be OK.

AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR LIFE WITH WALDO:

1. Waldo subscibes to Netflix, right? So he watches the movie and puts it on the shelf and leaves it there for 4 days. Yesterday he asks me why haven't I sent HIS movie back. WHT? I didn't watch it, so why would it be my responsibility to send it back? He tells me that it's everyones responsibility to send the movies back. So I ask him, "So why didn't you send your movie back?" He gives me the look.

2. Waldo has been complaining about wasting water. So this week alone he has A.) washed his hands and left the hot water running, completely emptying our hot water heater. B.) Washed his golf shoes off in the front yard leaving the water hose on thus flooding the whole neighborhood.

That's all for now, friends. Stay tuned for more "Adventures with Waldo"
