Metro New Orleans DISers - check in!!! - 03/2009

Hey Y'all,

Sorry I didn't get back here yesterday evening. I waited forever in the dr's office. But I did get good news!! I can drive WITHOUT that darned neck collar!! Yippee, woohoo! I haven't driven in over 6 weeks! FREEDOM!!! In 2 weeks I'll start occupational therapy on my hand. Dr wants to hold off longer for physical therapy until after my next visit which isn't until November. I kinda bummed about that, but he did say I could walk & swim.

Lori/BP, I'm sad we'll be losing you here in NOLA, but I sure can't argue with the reasons! Does that mean we can come stay with you in Orlando?? Just kidding! I I'll pray that things come together & it all works out for y'all!

Lauri, How have you been? Still crazy busy? I'm glad to hear that you might get back to DW next Oct! We've made Oct our annual trip, we just love F&W, especially the dining events! I'm really excited to get to stay at both WL & BLT in Feb.

Lorie, I'm sorry the Evil Powers that be keep sending you PIN codes! That is an awfully mean thing to do to a new Mom.

Although I love the BC & we are getting great use out of our DVC purchase, I still have a soft spot for the Poly! It really is still my fav resort.

Bethany, I had to reset the modem twice yesterday.

Kristina- I hope those side affects clear up quickly! I hate dry mouth & I'm on meds for insomnia. I don't think anything bothers me more that being totally exhausted & not being able to sleep. Prayers & hugs

Lori, Can you get bottled water on DDP? That would be my reason for bringing the little fridge, to have Green Grocer deliver water. I drink way too much to pay for water in the parks!

Cara, I'm glad the getting up earlier is working for you & your family! Alexis & I are just not getting the hang of it at all.

thanks! I an taking Strattera again for ADHD. the anxiety is real bad too but he wants to start one med at a time....

we are going in late april i think - (after LEAP I would bet)
- 4th grade science thing. woo hoo!

Rie used to take Straterra. She thought that she could do w/out her ADD meds but she had trouble concentrating for a test yesterday and couldn't finish. Her doc prescribed Vyvanse but a llow dose, so we'll see how that goes-good I hope!!.

Rie takes the LEAP from April12-16. They have Spring Break from the 26th-30th. I'm thinking that is she doesn't miss anymore school that we'll leave right after school on the 22nd.

Bethany, Corks N Canvas called & I'm in for painting!

Lorie, I asked her to call me tomorrow, if they do not fill the class. Let me know if you want a spot.

You know you and Bob can come stay with us anytime! Or I'll rent you my DVC points to get you there! Whatever it takes!

We're looking at an apartment/condo complex that butts up against Disney property to start out with. Some of our friends that relocated after "K" live there- it's alot of Disney castmembers. I want ground floor, and at least 2 bedrooms. We've made friends with some of the podcast folks so they've been giving us some guidance.

It may or may not happen, but I want a change and Rick finally seems to have gotten on board with that.

Hey maybe we can all go to an LSU game...those who like football that is. Can Kyle get tix for us?

Bethany, Corks N Canvas called & I'm in for painting!

Yay!!! I included you in the email when I replied to the confirmation. Did she mention it when she called? I hope Lorie can get in also!

Also, I know you can drive now but let me know if you'd like a ride on Friday night anyways. I am really looking forward to it!

From what he's told me tickets are even hard to get for the students, but I'll look into it for sure!

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

I think most of the LSU games are probably sold out already. The tickets went on sale to the general public on Saturday morning and by noon on Saturday my friend was harassing me to get back to her so she could buy some tickets before they sold out. We are going on Sept 12th. I really have no idea what I'm getting myself into... Anybody want to clue me in?

There's always hope!

Yes, yes there is!

I'm so out of it this week...I usually multi-quote. I woke up Monday with a really sore back. I'm still sore and I'm getting increasingly grouchy because of it. Sorry if I'm not making any sense...

The thing that I cannot stand about WDW resorts is the crappy tv. I've learned to despise that chirpy Stacy! We've booked at the Dolphin a bunch of times because we can at least order pay per view movies if we're not at the parks in the evenings.

I LIKE the Stacy show! When I stayed solo at CBR back in 07, I could NOT sleep for anything. It was TOO QUIET. So Stacy came to the rescue! I left that channel on all night long just for background noise!

This past December, I was so exhausted though that I slept just fine without the tv on even though it was so quiet being on the outer edge of POFQ. I got something like 13 hours of sleep in 3 nights combined on that trip.

Lori, If Bob ever gets to retire, we might just follow you there! We met a couple during our 1st F&W trip that lived in the Villages. The retirement community, we actually checked into right after, but that's for retired RICH people, not us!

Bethany, IMO absolutely the most exciting, fun thing I've done! Well I know my life is boring, but really LSU football games LIVE IN DEATH VALLEY is amazing! First you have to tailgate, then you wait to go into the stadium until the Golden Band comes marching over the "hill"! Gives me goosebumps just to think about it!

Kat, Bob would just keep calling the ticket office & Angelina would keep checking. We would end up sitting in E/W Upper but we could get tickets!

I know money and time are tight but Ferris Martin's Buddy Walk is the same time that a bunch of us are in Disney!

It's a banner link at the top of a bunch of our pages here on the DIS. Julie and Corey are from Louisiana and Ferris is a lovely little boy..... if you can walk or donate feel free. Rick and I are walking Saturday morning Oct 17.... 100% of the proceeds go to Downs Syndrome Society.

I've never been to an LSU game....would love to go! I wouldn't mind where I sat as long as I got to enjoy the experience.
