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

CP, I thought of you this morning. On the news they said they may have found the tomb site of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony! They are going to be digging soon to see if it really is. :thumbsup2

That's awesome!!! How cool would that be???

We had storms again last night :(. I am so tired.
 
I just looked at touringplans. They have April 21, 2010 (otherwise known as: the gnomies decend on WDW) as a crowd level 5 :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :dance3: :cheer2:
 
Hey Gnomies...well you know how they say when it rains it pours...I'm thinking Monsoon season has descended upon me.

Sorry I didn't make chat however I was at the hospital with family friends from our church. One of my teen girls was in a pretty servere accident and was in surgery all evening so we were up there waiting with her family. Thankfully she is alright and I will be heading back up there tonight to visit with her.

Okay so I have to play catch up...

C....YES START A PTR IMMEDIATELY...IT IS NOT TOO SOON LOL!!! I hope you are enjoying the great weather!!! AND we must discuss ADRS (again) soon LOL!!!!

Katie...how did the Open houses go???? How was your MOnday!! I have missed chatting to you hopefully all is well in your house and with your boys!! BTW Crowd level 5 that is amazing WOOT thanks for the great news!!

P...How was your first day at work?? I was thinking of you this morning! BTW congrats to Allison...that is amazing I know you are one proud mama...so what is next for her.

CP...Storms must go away soon...ughh we finally had some sunshine and I am hoping to pass some of mine up to you!!! And for some reason I thought of you this weekend we finally decided on our banquet theme for our teens...Gone with the Wind. I don't know why, but I thought it would be something you would enjoy LOL

LL...I hope you are feeling better...thanks for being there for me this weekend. Don't worry your package should be arriving in the next few days LOL...now if I could only find the tracking number...wait I'm kidding LOL

Julez...hope you had a great weekend and I wish you a great work week!!!! How are things going with you??


Alright well in the words of one of my favorite heroines...."As God is my Witness....I will update by Wednesday...tomorrow will be an easy day at work so update will be coming LOL...now let's all pray the rain is gone and the sun will start shining again LOL!! I need a huge break!

They have them listed that far in advance? I guess I have never noticed past my planned dates! That's awesome!

Oh, I am so glad that she is okay! How scary!

I agree with Jen, Christine! You need to start a PTR soon!

P...How was your first day at work?? I was thinking of you this morning! BTW congrats to Allison...that is amazing I know you are one proud mama...so what is next for her.

Paula, I second this -- congrats to Allison! (Is it cheating to piggyback on Jen's comments?)

We are supposed to have an entire week (pray for more) of sunshine!

I think that is a great theme! Tell me some of your ideas -- Chelsea has never seen GWTW and I was just thinking this weekend that I wanted to do a themed viewing for her and me -- so now I need ideas! :laughing:

Woo hoo for an update! I will be looking forward to it!
 
HI all!! Oh how I have missed you guys!

The weekend was ok, better than I thought, but Blake wanted to stay an extra day and of course we got off to a slow start AND it's been pouring all day, so by the time we start calculating a trip that Blake wanted to do, it was already 3pm and I knew I wasn't going to make it into work today. I had one major episode this weekend, but thankfully I shook it off after a while and we were able to hang out in peace.

We were SO close to booking a WDW trip tonight, we even called the dang number to get a price quote, found a AAA discount for $994 and I was kicking myself for not looking into that 4/3 deal earlier. Blake wanted to THIS thursday, but we had settled on May 14th-19th, everything was looking good and then I remembered that Free Dining doesn't start yet, and for 6 days, 5 nights (without hoppers), plus food (not the dining plan), plus boarding for Riley, plus plane tickets, it was $1650. :confused3
So...sadly, we both knew it wouldn't be possible. HOWEVER, Blake found us a nice resort in Myrtle Beach for this week (friday-tuesday) and I found a Manager's Special Price for $500 Oceanfront, including free breakfast every morning. Then he booked us a couples massage and me a facial for sunday! The price came to over 1/2 off than what Disney would have cost.
I'm really excited, but DARN IT, I was SO CLOSE!! :rotfl:

Jen-Hope your friend gets better quick, that's awful! By the way, do you need Nobby soon? Or are you still going to DOI (according to the schedule) or am I sending him to LL or you for your May trip?

LL-Hope you're having a better week!

P-You have one talented gymnyst! Congrats to her!!

C-Glad you feel better

Julez, CP, MM, Stace..hope you're having a good week!
 
By the way, I finished Book 1 of Sookie this weekend!
I liked it so much, I went ahead and ordered the Box Set, books 1-7 :thumbsup2
Hopefully I'll get them by friday before we leave!
 
Jess, glad to hear that the weekend went so much better than planned! Oh, how frustrating to be so close to a Disney trip -- Myrtle Beach sounds like fun though. It's been about 15 years since I was there -- I bet it has changed so much!

Just you wait -- if you liked the first Sookie book, then you are really going to love the rest -- I think each one was better than the last.
 
Hi gang!

How was everyone's Monday? Mine was eventful. There was a mouse in my office. Upon sighting of which I climbed on my desk. And two of my (male) co-workers grabbed recycling bins and an umbrella :confused3 to try to trap it. They were not successful. So I spent the rest of the day with a mouse barricade and my feet off the floor. Yeck! :scared:

Katie - a 5 on the crowd calendar is AWESOME. Let's hope it never goes higher. Lower would be ok.

Jackie - sorry those darn storms are still bothering you!

LL- hurrah for starting the week off right with a better day. :)

Jess- so glad the weekend was better than expected. I feel your pain on the almost Disney trip. It's those little extras that get you. Myrtle Beach will be fun. And of course we'll want a mini TR. :rolleyes1

Jen- hey there, missy! As God is your witness you're posting an update? Yippee!!! :yay: And yes, we do need to start talking ADRs for Sept soon.

Paula- how was the first day????

Julez- why would you make copies after someone else used the last one? :confused3 Are you the copy queen? Sorry a doc was snarky with you. Good for you on the walk at lunch time!! :yay:
 
Well I recognized a couple of the ladies on here and thought I'd say hi! Mainly because I might be going to WDW next April! :banana::banana::banana: When are you all planning your trip for?

We've got a trip planned for August but in the event I find a job and will be tied to a school schedule (and thus not able to go in August), my wonderful dad (who knows my love of Disney World :goodvibes) suggested a trip for next spring break since that'll be the best time for me to go.

EDIT: Aww, I just went to your original thread and saw you guys are planning for late April. Easter is pretty early next year so I'm assuming that's when we'd make plans. Sad. :guilty:

Oh gosh C!! Maybe LL had sent Gus-Gus to you for a visit in hopes of tempting you into the WDW trip with her! ;)Hopefully he'll be gone before tomorrow!

I agree P-Please let us know how your first day went!!! :thumbsup2
 
One of my teen girls was in a pretty servere accident and was in surgery all evening so we were up there waiting with her family. Thankfully she is alright and I will be heading back up there tonight to visit with her.

Yikes :scared: I'm glad to hear she is OK!

Katie...how did the Open houses go???? How was your MOnday!! I have missed chatting to you hopefully all is well in your house and with your boys!! BTW Crowd level 5 that is amazing WOOT thanks for the great news!!

All is well thanks. Open houses gave us some good ideas, that's basically our goal at this point.

They have them listed that far in advance? I guess I have never noticed past my planned dates! That's awesome!

Yep, 366 days in advance, I have been waiting for this day for MONTHS

I had one major episode this weekend, but thankfully I shook it off after a while and we were able to hang out in peace.

Glad to hear things went OK, it's nice you were able to take the day off to recover :thumbsup2

Bummer about WDW but a few days at Myrtle Beach sounds lovely!

EEeekkk!!! Mouse barricade :rotfl2: too funny!

Last year I opened up my desk drawer and discovered some of my candy had been chewed into and droppings left behind. I threw out ALL of the candy in the drawer, chewed or not! The custodian set a trap and 2 days later the little bugger was dead :scared: YUCK!

:blush: Jen-I'm SO sorry I didn't catch this the first time around. Stupid skimming. How scary! Glad to hear she is alright. She's lucky to have you in her life! :hug:

Hi! :flower3: Yes we are planning for one year from tomorrow! :yay: But that doesn't mean you can't hang out and chat with us!

Oh gosh C!! Maybe LL had sent Gus-Gus to you for a visit in hopes of tempting you into the WDW trip with her! ;)Hopefully he'll be gone before tomorrow!

If LL sent him, she should call him back. ;)

Woo-hoo!!!! :woohoo::yay::dance3::yay::woohoo:

yes, I'm sure I provided hours of entertainment for my co-workers today. The only mice I like are Mickey and Minnie and I don't even want them scurrying across my office floor! :scared:
 
Jen --- lots of :hug: :grouphug: :hug:to you. I am so glad she is okay. I know you are in serious need of a vacation! 32 days! :goodvibes

Jess --- So glad your weekend was better than expected. So close to Disney, yet so far.

C --- I will recall Gus Gus if you have booked a trip. ;)

Paula --- How was the first day? :wizard:

I can't believe after tomorrow we can say LESS than a year until Gnomefest! :eek:
 
Hi Gnomies!!

I'm FINALLY home!! Good Lord the day is soooooo much longer when it starts in the morning:rotfl2:

1st day went well...once I got outta the house. My stupid hairdryer fried on me this morning....:sad2: Here I was..already antsy about the day with a wet head I couldn't do anything about. It was crazy windy outside this morning (like 35mph gusts) and raining... so I took a towel outside on the porch and rubbed and rubbed and used wind-power to dry my hair:lmao: I'm sure I provided several of my neighbors with fun entertainment for their coffee this morning:rotfl:

After that set-back...the day went well, it was just VERY LONG. I know how to do the 'job' but every hospital has different computer systems and proceedures for basically the same jobs...I need to learn the different system/proceedures. So as to not overwhelm me (;)) the director decided i should 'observe' this week. I'm really used to going and doing...so just standing around watching other people work is rather monotonous...I'll never be management material:lmao:

but all in all...everyone was exceptionally nice and helpful and seemed happy to have me there...it was really nice:goodvibes

Thanks for all the well wishes! Allison even manged to get thru the day in tact...she is pretty bent outta shape about the whole thing...but I think she'll adjust to it pretty quickly:thumbsup2



I just looked at touringplans. They have April 21, 2010 (otherwise known as: the gnomies decend on WDW) as a crowd level 5 :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :dance3: :cheer2:
it's a 5...only til they FIND OUT we are ALL coming...that'll push the #s right up:rotfl2:


And about the t-shirt idea...very cute... but really are you guys planning to spend the whole month??? Or just change clothes..like Scarlett O'Hara for every meal???:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

I'm going to bed!! This morning stuff is still HARD :laughing:

Paula

I couldn't have said it any better so I will just repeat Christine!! (darn those east coasters beating me to it! :laughing:)

I will add that day 2 of gnomefest....crowd level 6. Still not bad! And if they raise them because they find out we are coming, maybe others will stay away :rolleyes1
 
Paula, good to hear your first day went well. Once you start DOING instead of WATCHING, it will go faster. Have a great day 2!
