dddisrunner: Thanks so much for the good wishes! My eyes and hair are okay now--although I'm still on a trial pair of lenses and have to go back AGAIN after we return. Got my hair cut right afterward and even made it to the bank last night (which I'd forgotten about!) Good to know we'll have some cash to take along.

I colored my sparkly hair last night, too, so I'm doing well!
medicgirl: If ever a job becomes available which involves constant text messaging, Caitlin is a shoo-in! Actually, I think that would be her dream job.

When she was little, her dream job was to work at 7-11 because "that's where all the candy is."
dwaddict I really have no clue how teenagers do all that texting! I'm fast at typing but that's NOT typing. And Caitlin likes to mock how slowly I text. Mainly because I refuse to use all the abbreviations.
wdw_girl_18 Thanks for reading! I was talking to Caitlin last night and she told me, "I don't know why everyone thinks it's so funny. I don't think 150 texts a day is a lot."

I guess if a majority of them say, "Idk" or something similarly short, it would account for a lot of them. She sends me a lot that say, "Idk."

For the uninitiated, that means I don't know. (I had to ask the first time.)
TeddyToo: I think Cait must have extremely muscular fingers. She's good at video games, too, so I think it's just practice, practice, practice!

at your hairdresser! Luckily, my hair only takes about 10 minutes for them to trim. It's just straight across so nothing fancy there. The girl I had last night was VERY excited about my trip to WDW, though, and wanted all the details. She got a big tip for being so happy for me.
The corn beef and cabbage is set for tomorrow night--my mom told me she didn't want me to have to cook and clean up right before my trip. I had to laugh because I had absolutely no intention of cooking on Thursday night which would have eliminated the kitchen cleaning portion but she wants to hang out before we go and she IS driving us to the shuttle bus so I need to mind my p's and q's and stay on her good side!
I couldn't get into the dentist until after I get back so I have an appointment with my regular doctor today. She's going to fuss at me for procrastinating but I deserve it and as long as she gives me some antibiotics, I'll just take it.
Thanks so much for reading everyone. It gives me a little thrill to check this thread in the morning and find a bunch of replies! You all made my morning!
