Nothing to See Here...

Of course I remember my Sorcerer's Hat photos. I was so pleased with myself that I got something I had not personally seen before in a photo (whether or not it's out there somewhere, I had not seen it). And I put my picture in one of my calendars.

Glad to see that the idea caught on and that I'm inspiring people!:rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
Sherry, thank you for your kind comments on the Halloween Superthread and Christmas Superthread. I do appreciate your time to jot down a kind word or two.

Oh, I did do a Californian Hotel theme for the month of January 2012. I have posted it on the GCH Superthread. If you want to take a look, you can see it here, post #2013.
 
She has a huge following online. I am rather amazed, not that she is talented but that there is such a following for it.

If she can take it into pure fiction (I imagine there would be legal issues with publishing fan-fic), she should look into self-publishing e-books on amazon.com. There is a teen out there who writes short stories, priced them at 99 cents, and she has earned QUITE a bit of money so far.

I said something to my oldest who excels at writing essays and she thinks she might try it. I need to talk to Kody about it. She has a way with words so I encourage her to write all the time. That sure would be a great way for them to earn money.
 

Sherry, I have finally taken pictures of my snapfish calendar. I thought I would post two of my favorites that are not Halloween or Christmas. I posted those on their respective superthreads. Just a note: some of these pictures I got from the Disneyland Gallery CD.

gorgeous pics and calander! How did you get all those dwarves to stand with you? I've never seen that many together that I can remember!

travelmel!

You're back! You haven't posted in my TR in probably a year and a half (or it seems that way) and when you finally resurface, you post a question to Liza/funatdisney!:rotfl2:

Okay, it's not like I feel unloved or anything...:rolleyes1

Thank you. travelmel.

Earlier this year, DL had Family Fun Weekends. Each weekend was a different theme like "Country Western Days" and "Fiesta Days". For each themed event they had character meet and greets, shows and food that matched the theme. One weekend, called Character Fan Days, was devoted to Disney Characters that were selected by the winning votes made by Disney fans on Facebook. The Seven Dwarfs were selected by fans to appear for one of six meet and greets. I was able to go that weekend and got quite a few pics with lots of Disney Characters rarely seen in DL. Here is the Disney Parks Blog that lists the characters that were featured. So I got the rare opportunity to get a picture with all of them. I hope they do that again next year.

:rotfl: I know right!!??? Well, that's just cause you're always so thorough with your answers and comments that I don't need to ask for clarification :yay: I love clarification... LOVE IT... leads to so much efficiency! Sorry for my rude behavior, Sherry...

Let me start over: Hi Sherry!! :lovestruc It's good to be back!! :cool2:

That is so awesome! Our trip is planned for the second week in April... I think they'll be busy enough not to have to try and drum up any new excitement (unfortunately!). I have Ridemax on my side and will be at rope drop for 2 of three days so I feel confident I can handle any spring breakers in my path LOL

Our third day I get to have a character breakfast (my first character meal ANYWHERE!) and I am chosing Goofy's Kitchen based on all the wonderful comments on here. The Plaza really looks cute, too but I'm sticking with Goofy's.... (I THINK!) :goofy:

Well, it's good to have you back.:goodvibes

I remember your comment about my long answers from a couple of years back, Mel.;) (I have a good memory.)

I like to show my support and follow along with my DIS-friends on their travels, as well as enjoy their photos, read their stories and all of that - not really for clarification. I just did a whole holiday trip report here with like 1500 photos. So it just struck me as amusing that the one thing you jumped in to comment on after being away for 1-1/2 years was Liza's calendar!:rotfl2::rotfl2: (Liza should really start her own thread to display her photos and answer questions:goodvibes.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your first character meal, whether it's at Goofy's or Minnie's or wherever. I had no idea that you hadn't done any character meals before! I still plan to try Surf's Up and Minnie's at some point in the future, but until I start rolling in cash to be able to afford more of them...so far Goofy's is my tried and true!

Yes, yes I get the hint. I have thought about it and even have come up with a thread title. My next challenge is craving out some time to get it started.

So... Coming soon to a Trip Report Forum near you ...
 
Sherry, who knew that my calendar would have an effect on people like that? :rotfl2: You are always loved!!

It's having an effect on me, because I don't know how you got all the extra pictures off the sides and top, and put in those quotes! I obviously rushed too much and should have spent some time reading, b/c I have major calendar envy now. :upsidedow
 
So...in Disney trip news (sort of)...I had a bit of extra money from the last couple of weeks of work - more than usual - and I was going to pay off a couple of people I owe. Then, with the remaining money, I was so close to doing something Disney trip-related with it, such as getting a nice gift card to set aside (hoard) or figuring out a way to hold it for future hotel room payments and not spend it. I could put it towards my expected December extravaganza.

But...as it turns out, I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days. Actually, and this sounds crazy - I think it's a dental issue. All of a sudden this one tooth or the general area of that tooth started hurting pretty steadily in the last week or so. It had hurt a bit in the past, but not severely. I thought it was just a 'sensitive tooth' and so I didn't think too much of it because it wasn't persistent enough to be too worrisome. The last time I tried to self-diagnose a dental issue and decide that I needed a root canal, it turned out that all I needed was a tiny bit of bonding to cover up a sensitive area.:rotfl2: I am not the best dental diagnostician!!:rotfl2:

So, not wanting to self-diagnose again (or panic), I ignored the occasional pain I had last year. Now, as I said, it's acting up pretty steadily. I feel like it's infected. The way I've been feeling isn't normal. I feel ill. Perhaps a filling cracked or something. I can't tell.

You know how you can tell when there's something wrong or different, when you just don't feel right? Well, I don't feel right. When I start to get these weird headaches that I've been getting in the last few days, it usually means I have an infection of some kind (based on previous experience).

This is also not good for me because I have high blood pressure (it runs in the family).

So..the bottom line is that my heard-earned money - which I was so happily going to put towards a couple of personal debts and Disney endeavors - now has to go towards some sort of medical bill, the amount of which is yet to be determined. I have to get in to see the dentist and pray that whatever I have to have done is not major - like not a root canal or something. With no insurance, it's tough.

So no hoarding Disney gift cards or funds for me just yet. But it's a necessary trade-off. I haven't been able to eat or drink anything properly because of the pain (which is tough for someone who guzzles as much water as I do), and I just feel sick!:sick::headache:

Wish me luck!
 
:hug:

Oh Sherry. I hope it is something simple.

:hug::hug:Thank you, Michele! Me too! I can't afford anything complicated! I probably would have continued to ignore the issue (and just wince and grimace in pain when I drink my water) if not for the fact that I started to feel very weird a couple of days ago. But it's a weird feeling that is not going away, so that means it's time to look into it. Who knows? Maybe one of my old, old fillings is now leaking toxins into my system! Better to just cave in and go.

So my best laid plans to set aside some DLR trip money (in one form or another) were dashed in an instant! I always try to plan in advance and it just never seems to work out!:rotfl2:

I think that it is better to be safe than to be sorry. And well, it would be worse if you didn't spend the money on the dentist it could ne worse and more expensive.

When we went to Arizona last year on a girls trip with my mom & sister I ended up having to go to a dentist I had never seen before (he was my Uncles dentist so not out of the phone book) as an occasional pain that was only bothersome became infected and I was practically crying in pain...messed up 2 days of my trip...so get it taken care of (mine turned out to be minor and if I had gone in earlier wouldn't have gotten to the really painful part) now before you save all those $ for disney and it decides to be a true pain on a DLR trip! Hope yours turns out to be minor too! We don't have insurance either so it also ate up trip money.:hug:
 
Sherry, I hope it turns out to be a small thing and not something major. Good to get it checked out now to be sure it doesn't get worse Have you made an appointment yet? I hope and pray that it isn't serious and it is something that can be quickly resolved. Wishing you the best possible outcome and care.
 
Nothing worse than a toothache. I hope you get to a dentist soon and it is nothing to major. Here goes my Aussie sense of humor at least you are saving money on food. Sending hugs :hug:
