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

[2xcited2sleep]

Very good arguments, Julez! You are good at this! Non-plans sound perfect for today!!

Katie- so glad your back is feeling better. Regarding FH- yes think his liking or at a minimum tolerating Disney is definitely a requirement!

Oh, I forgot to mention.

I got a text from Jen this morning. They loved the castle (CRT ADR?) and spectromagic. She said it is beautiful this morning.

Dontcha just wish we were there too? I am loving the live updates. Think they are at DHS today and it is Brown Derby lunch day. Hopefully the rain has stopped for them.

There are quite a few "Disney people" twittering live this week. I am loving the virtual trip. I am so sick I am considering an iphone just so I could post pictures live on my trip.

So I've pulled out my DVC book from my tour. I think I'm gonna do it. And wouldn't ya know I originally thought 160 pts was too many, this contract is for 200 and now I'm thinking it's not enough!

Ahhhh....... the fun, relaxing part of my day is OVER.

Now I must shampoo carpets & furniture, finish laundry, and make dinner. Blech.

I'm really starting to look forward to that vacation in July..... nothing to do for 6 days? I was crazy to think I'd get bored....

Welcome to the dark side.

Welp, ladies, I've decided that, in a word, work SUCKS. I do not want to go tomorrow. Dreading it with a capital D. There has to be a better way.

Hey girls! Blake and I went to my parents this weekend again and fished. We had a fun time, I just can't believe the 4 day weekend is OVER already!

Katie-So glad your back is finally feeling better! Here's to it not hurting anymore! (Knock on wood)
Julez-Rach's party looks so fun! I love the ebay bouncy thing!
C-Good luck with the DVC contract! SO jealous!
CP-I finished Book 9 last week, I'm so sad it's over already!!

HI to P and Stace! Hope you girls are doing good!

I've been keeping up with LL too! I sure hope the weather will clear up! Is her Mom flying in tomorrow??

Did you like it, Jess? I have a gift certificate for Amazon from a student -- I am thinking I will just order it instead of waiting for it to come into the library.

I liked it, there were a few main characters that died in this one
I think in the beginning/middle there was a lot of Sookie talking this time, kind of trying to figure out her background with the fairies, but it got intense toward the end. Do you know if she's coming out with anymore? Hold up, just amazon'ed it and answered my own question! A Touch of Dead coming Oct 9th!
And I think I asked before, but have you read any of her other series? There's the Harper Connelly Mysteries, the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries and the Lily Bard Mysteries

The Harper Ones look really good (book titles play on the word "Grave")

Oh, wow! Now I am really looking forward to reading it!

I haven't read any of her other series, but I may get a chance to this summer -- which is when I really do the bulk of my reading.

 

[kschafer]

Morning girls!

Have a happy "Monday" I'm off to the chiropractor this morning then headed to work.

CP, only 2 days to go

I was making our summer activities calendar for the boys and it really started to hit me that I will be working this summer and I had to keep questioning how well Greg will take being the boys chauffeur. He is always saying we need to find activities to keep the boys active and busy but he will truly hate driving them around everyday. He is used to me doing it while he works on his projects. I'm bound to hear how much he hates being inturrupted ! Oh well, it's only 1 year I guess

 

[MegansMom]

GOOD MORNING GNOMIES!!!! (In my head I said it like Robin Williams from Good Morning Vietnam.....just thought I would share my crazy thoughts!)

ANYWHO....I have been following along all weekend, but haven't really had time to post, or felt like I had much to say really. It was a nice weekend--started out with a bday party for my Mom, then a day out in Cincy on Saturday and a Reds game, a quiet day home on Sunday trying to medicate my flared up allergies through air-conditioned therapy, and a nice day at Kings Island on Monday to close it all out. Tom has been off for the past five days, so that has meant, running, running, running! The boy really doesn't like to stay still---but his allergies were all flared up on Sunday too, so we stayed in......AAAAHHHHHHH it was so nice!

I have loved folllowing along with the girls on LL's Facebook coverage.....makes me want to be there SO badly right now! I can't wait to hear all about it when everyone returns home! Our hopeful trip for September is still waiting out there in the balance.....Tom keeps bringing it up, checking to see when the Free Dining booking cutoff is, reminding me that he still wants to go, but we just have to "wait and see." Megan and I are quickly losing our patience with that!!! Since the deadline is quickly approaching, I guess we will all know pretty darn soon if it is actually going to happen.

I feel like there is so much going on right now with the house hunt and hopes to sell, it is starting to overwhelm me. There is a list of things I want to do before we list the house---nothing major---but I know I will have to do the bulk of it, and I am feeling overwhelmed and WAY too busy. I am helping two friends out right now with partial child care, and I think I am starting to wear myself thin. I keep hoping for the "maid" to show up, but she is STILL a no-show!!!! Okay, I am going to go find a link to some of the house plans that we are considering now.....I will be back shortly!

 

[MegansMom]

Okay...I hope this works so you guys can click on everything and pull up the elevation pictures, and the floor plans.....let me know if these links don't work!

Good Morning Gnomies!!

Man you take a few days of Disney Vacation and you come back to so many changes!!

C....you're going to do DVC...EEEEEEHHHHH...I'm so excited for you!!! I really hope it all works out...and you know what I know for sure you are totally going to meet your FH at Disney...his name is Andrea and he works at Les Chefs...just tell him LL and Jen sent you...the rest will be history LOL

Julez...I'm so glad to hear your trip is back on!!!! I was very sad that I might not get to say hi to you in September!!

CP...you are only what like 10 days away now...you guys are going to have so much. We totally told Bo to get ready because Chelsea was coming, I swear I saw a twinkle in his eye!!!

Katie...glad your back is feeling better!!! It is no fun at all to be in pain! Trust me...next trip tons of moleskin and I'm looking to invest in some really good shoes before the trip...any suggestions Gnomies????


Paula...hope you had a great time in Cleavland and the kids enjoyed the baseball game. I'm sure they are excited about the last week of school LOL

Okay so the brief update that I can give you LOL (I have been sworn to silence until LL starts her TR LOL) It did rain the first couple of days and that was interesting to deal with, but it was good we took it slow and neither one of us ended up soaked, the food was DELICIOUS!!!!, we rode everything we wanted too, and really enjoyed the great company!!! The last day was simply gorgeous and it was in DHS (which I love) and it really really made me anxious to get back, I cannot wait for September, although that conundrum is that it means I will be back to work and who wants to wish away their summer vacation LOL!! But I really can't wait...ADRs can be made June 28th or June 26th totally forgot already so I need help deciding where I'm going to eat LOL!!!! (I have way more points than I know what to do with LOL)

 

[MegansMom]

WELCOME BACK JEN!!!! I knew you would be on here as soon as you could this morning! I am so glad you gals enjoyed your time together---I can't wait to hear all about it! I am sure LL is missing you, but probably getting excited about seeing her Momma too!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Katie, I think it will be great for Greg to play chauffeur this summer -- it will no doubt be an eye-opening experience for him!

Jen (MM), I am looking forward to pouring over the floor plans after lunch -- I bet I will love them all!

Jen (JJ), Welcome back!!! I can't wait to tell Chelsea about Bo! Glad you had such a fun time with LL -- the TR should be a blast to read!

 

[sunny_stace]

Hey Gnomies!

I hope you all enjoyed your memorial day weekend! Not much happening around here today...just cleaning house a bit and then my cousins are just gonna come over and hang out for awhile and let their dogs run around in my backyard.

I really am procrastinating with my TR...it's nugging me that it's been so long when I was really enjoying sharing it! It's more that I just hate going and spending hours and hours and hours at Walmart to get the discs done! Remind me I should do it on Friday!

Okay...I hope this works so you guys can click on everything and pull up the elevation pictures, and the floor plans.....let me know if these links don't work!

Katie - I'm glad your back is doing better!

C - I think you made a good choice with the DVC! And I've always decided that my FH would have to be at least a Disney tolerator!

Juelz - That looks like a great party! Rach looks like she had a great time!

 

[julezdisney]

Katie- That's great that DH is being chauffer! He'll grow to appreciate what you do, for sure!
