Nobby's Gnomies... heading to WDW in April 2010

[jenjolt]

LL, hope your day is going smoothly even though you are the only one in your department!

Jess, wish I was shooting space monkeys, too!

Jen, how are the storms? I have been watching them on the radar and have been thinking of you.

Okay, being back at work is not all it's cracked up to be. I am ready to go home, but have a training I have to go to afterschool -- how unfair is that?

Right now it seems things have settled down but we got a few doozy of storms earlier today. I was hoping it wasn't all moving towards you.

Ewww to after school training that is almost as bad as an after school faculity meeting. I have an all day conference next Monday but if we get done early I'm a happy camper LOL!!!!

Hey girls! So I am home today from work using PRECIOUS personal time because there is no school. I didn't know this until yesterday. They just had spring break two weeks ago so I didn't think they'd turn Easter into a FOUR day weekend! Pfffffttt.....

ANNOYING!!! So I'm stuck watching movies w/Rach. As much as I love her, I can never get anything done because she is def. like her social Daddy in that she must be with someone at all times. I did not grow up like that and I AM not like that. I'm def. a loner and I had high hopes she would also get along fine on her own. Maybe she'll grow out of this clingy stage... I hope so!

Anyway- I'm purusing dining boards. And scoping pools at the DVC properties. I like OKW's pool and Boardwalk's slide is super cool.

I need to win the lotto. This working and subsequent having to call in stuff is for the birds.

Awww...Jules I'm sorry!!! I'm a lot like you I need some ME time. Sometimes its hard to say to Prince Phillip...babe tonight I just need to sit and read a book. I would go insane if I didn't have some of that time...so I feel your pain today!!

YAY I want to win the lotto too LOL!!!

This has been awful day. Bah. I had the pleasure of crying at my desk about an hour ago. I'm doing better now, I'm over my mini freak out. Is it Friday yet?

Awww...LL I really hope Friday comes soon for all of us

I totally agree Jen and Julez! I think Blake is realizing this now and let's me go by myself to the mall or read a book in the room alone. Growing up an only child, and having a firefighter dad on shift work with mom working 9-5, I was pretty much by myself during the summers or daytime. That's the biggest issue that I have with Blake's family, they don't understand I don't like people around me 24/7. I HAVE to have some by myself time.

CP-Gross to the training session
LL-Hopefully you feel better after your crying session, that's what you need sometimes
Julez-Let's all go in on the lotto, then whoever wins can split it with all the gnomies, then we can all buy in DVC!

 

[Roxychica7]

I definitely need a Renting DVC Points 101 Class. I understand which resorts are available, but not sure how many points equate to how long of a stay or which location to stay at. I may spend tonight looking some of it up

 

[ILuvCrush]

Hi Gnomies!!!

I'm done with work...yay!!! I had my exit interview this morning and now i'm off.

I have this week to learn how to get up in the morning...then get to start the new job on monday. Excited about the job...nervous about straitening out my days/nights OH well...so maybe I'll be a mean ole grouch for a few weeks, but eventually I'll get it straight

Sorry about your crummy day LL

Jen so happy to see you back....BTW calling WDW is on my to do list tomarrow My DP are now showing...so i can use them again LOL!!

Allison picked out her 'optional' gymnastics floor music this week. She won't need it for like a year (she has 1 more compulsory year yet to do) but she found it and loved it. I do too

She picked Disney Majic The online clip is only the 1st 30 secs. But it starts with the wonderful world of Disney, goes into zip a dee do dah, then bridges into IASW, then finishes with WWoD. It's FANTASTIC!!! I can definately listen to THAT music over and over again!!

K Gnomies...I'm off to take A to the gym, E to dance, and buy running shoes for me to start my C25K tomarrow

Cheers!

there's a DVC point calculator under the DVC tab on the WDWinfo main page. It's only going to calculate for 2009... but the #s don't change much year to year. Just be sure to use 'equivellent' dates (same # of weekend days.. use the holiday dates if applicable etc) or it will be pretty off.

I like the 'points charts' better (also under the DVC tab) ..everything is layed out in front of you and 2010 is included there... you just need to do your own math

Yay P!! Congrats on the job! I know how you feel, I got up at 6:30 yesterday to head to the park and I fell asleep at 8:30 last night
Whenever my real job starts, I definitely need awhile to ween myself into the early mornings.

Awesome clip for Allison! And Congrats on the C25K! I was looking at new sneaks today too!

Paula...YAY for getting ready to start your new job!!! I'm sure you will have a great week...I don't think you will be too grouchy LOL!!!

WOOT to calling WDW tomorrow...you will have to let me know how that goes...I'm so excited!! YAY!!!

OOOH...I can't wait to get home and listen to that music. I'm sure it will be fabulous and that A will do a fabulous job!!

Have a great evening!

 

[kschafer]

Yay P for being done

Sorry you are having a crummy day LL.

I vote for a gnomie lotto win!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Worst.

Day.

Ever.

I am so glad it is over.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I'm already annoyed and I have been at work for only a few minutes.

a lot of my days (at work) start like that!

Well I'm back at work and I'm actually glad to be here!!! I felt like Spring Break was just me on the run run run...should have been the Spring Marathon instead of break LOL!!! Oh well now I can finally focus back on getting things in a schedule.

So I have my update almost ready to go and when I say update I mean most of the trip LOL....but I forgot my pictures at home...so I'm not sure if I should wait and post them tomorrow or go ahead and do most of the text and have no pictures LOL


Jess....that's is one crazy gnome LOL...looks like you had a great trip with the little devil himself LOL!!!

Wow... grateful to be at work. That's good perspective!

Oooh... did you update?

You're very welcomed LL! I wish I could have gotten a better one, but we were moving and Blake shouts out, "Hey hurry up, grab those pics for your friend LL!" Such a good Dbf

Hope your day is going better!

How cute is Blake? That's awesome that he's getting into the gnomie/DIS nuttiness.

Okay, being back at work is not all it's cracked up to be. I am ready to go home, but have a training I have to go to afterschool -- how unfair is that?

Amen, sister. Who came up with this work thing, anyway? And afterschool training on the first day back is cruel and unusual punishment!!

Hey girls! So I am home today from work using PRECIOUS personal time because there is no school. I didn't know this until yesterday. They just had spring break two weeks ago so I didn't think they'd turn Easter into a FOUR day weekend! Pfffffttt.....

Sorry you had to use a personal day. I know how precious those are! But perusing the dining boards is a fun activity!

I know exactly what you mean about needing alone time. I am absolutely that way!

Julez-Let's all go in on the lotto, then whoever wins can split it with all the gnomies, then we can all buy in DVC!

Genius idea!!

Hurrah for being done with work! And for being able to call Disney tomorrow!

Allison's song sounds perfect!

for starting the couch to 5k program. I'm thinking (stress on thinking) about it....

I vote for a gnomie lotto win!!!

Wouldn't that just be the coolest??

Worst.

Day.

Ever.

I am so glad it is over.

Awww, LL. So sorry. At least it is over! Do you want to talk about it?

 

[kschafer]

for starting the couch to 5k program. I'm thinking (stress on thinking) about it....

You and me both C!! Hearing everyone talk about it makes me think I should get up and move my butt too but so far I haven't caught the bug yet!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I was starting to feel better.....UNTIL....I opened the bag of tees that I got for Jen and I for our Disney shirts. Yep, they are way too short for me. I *think* Jen will be okay since she is shorter than me. This is the second time I have ordered shirts. I don't have the money to order more shirts without returning these ones first and if I order them online THEN I won't have them this weekend to make.

Oh dear!

It has to get better... right?

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hi, Gnomies!

Seems like another less than stellar day for most of us -- except Paula who gets a week off and a new job!

I'll be glad when this one is over because we are supposed to get more thunderstorms tonight. Yick! Fingers crossed they don't put us under a tornado watch!

 

[Roxychica7]

I hear ya Katie, I keep telling myself that I "just" played in my badminton tournament LAST sunday and I can wait a few more days. I think I need Blake to push my butt out the door and do it with him. Plus, with my mom here this weekend and going to Hershey of all places, I definitely consumed WAY too much sugar and need to get myself on the ball

OH NO LL!! Were they from Old Navy? Ah man, that stinks, thankfully your trip isn't next weekend and you do still have some time to work on them, although I know you're probably feeling crafty and want to do them!
Hope you feel better!

I'm crossing my fingers for you CP! No tornados or thunderstorms!!

 

[julezdisney]

I'm missing DWTS due to Thumbelina....grrrr.....

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm missing DWTS due to Thumbelina....grrrr.....

Turn it off!! Gil(or however you spell it) is coming up soon. *Drool*

 

[Roxychica7]

I can't remember who suggested it (LL most likely?), but Blake and I were in Barnes and Noble tonight enjoying some coffee and book browsing after dinner. He got a fishing story book for himself and told me to pick something out. I remembered the Sookie Stackhouse books and grabbed the 1st one in the series to tide me over until Jane Erye and P&P comes this week!

 

[Charleston Princess]

The finger crossing worked -- most of the storms petered out to just rain last night -- now we are supposed to be sunny until Sunday!

I'm missing DWTS due to Thumbelina....grrrr.....

Grrr is right. Did you convince Rachel that enough was enough so you could watch Dancing with the Stars?

Oh, I hope you like it! LL got me started on them -- I am reading the last one right now -- the next one comes out next month. I love them! I was even trying to read it during training yesterday!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Good Morning Gnomies!

Jess, you will love Sookie!

CP, has Chelsea finished Breaking Dawn yet? I am really anxious to hear how she liked it!

Today is shaping up to be a better day, thank goodness!
