[Denine]

We are all packed and ready to go.

Jerry is in a meeting at work with his 3rd new manager of the year. He has another meeting at 3PM.

Just trying to get some last minute house cleaning done.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Ah yes, the infamous housecleaning before a vacation. Have fun Denine!!

Have fun Julie and Family!

Heidi, I have never gotten the giggles in a theater before. Thanks?????? I felt bad for the couple behind us. I sent you an email that I got from Jim L. Elaine has the beginning stages of dimentia. I am CRUSHED.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I felt bad for Stacey! That is so sad about Elaine, my heart breaks for Jim. I'm sorry.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

What is sad is that Elaine is only 10 years older than me.

 

[Denine]

Well, Jerry's new manager can't be all bad, he is a DVC'r! He owns at Saratoga.

Sandy: When dementia starts that young it is usually genetic, not always, but often.

Well, Jerry's new manager can't be all bad, he is a DVC'r! He owns at Saratoga.

Heid: Drink! :

Well I am not supposed to drink at work, but what the heck.


Denine - That is awesome his boss is a member, at least he can relate to him.

Mom -

 

[jiminyC_fan]

You two are crazy!!

Well, had a bump in the road, but we are already to leave tomorrow!!! my neighbor who was gonna watch the puppy (Miley) called me last night and told me that she couldn't do it. SO, this morning I had to go check out a boarding "hotel". She has her own room, bed and TV!!! LOL!! She also has "doggie day care" each day so she can be outside and play with other dogs. They have a baby pool for her to play in too since I told her that Miley LOVES water! SO, we dropped her of tonight. There is a webcam in her room so we can watch her and check on her at anytime. So Miley will be taken good care of while we are gone. My mom will stop by at night to check on the kitty (Tinkerbell) and the old dog who does nothing but lay around and eat and poop. I had the mail stopped today.... boarding passes printed... so I have everything done!! I even got a chance to have my nails done today too!!!!

We will be taking our computer so we will check in at times!

Julie, sorry for the snag but the doggie hotel sounds like a Ritz Carlton for dogs. How cool!! You guys have fun!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

That doggie hotel sounds awesome! Glad you won't have to worry about Miley while you are on the cruise. So cool to have all those amenities, and you can check on her.

Have fun on your cruise Denine and Julie. Take lots of pictures!!!!!!!

So...where to begin.

I decided not to take my laptop at the last minute. I had to take my work laptop and I can't get on and post to any fun sights with it so I just decided 2 laptips was a bit much.

I got to the airport and decided to check my bag for $25 so I didn't have to lug it around. Too lazy after the last couple of months at work. When I was checking it in, for another $25 I could upgrade to 1st class. So, of course I deserved it so I did it. Nice trip down with free drinks and snacks and bigger seats.

Had a nice couple of days at a slow pace at Disney with my friend and her son. Spent a little time at all parks but Animal Kingdom. This was the end of their week so little Morgan was getting tired, so the slow relaxing pace was just waht I needed.

Thursday afternoon I started coming down with something (must have got it when coach passnegers walked through first class). Anyway, I juts relaxed in the lobby and by the pool on Friday and Paul and Turner picked me up around 4:00 on Friday afternoon to drive to Ellenton. Turner's team won 2 games and lost 2 games for the weekend. This was their first games and they were playing teams that had already played games this season. So, all in all, not bad. However, I got sicker and sicker. We drove home late Sunday (got in at 3:00am Monday) and had to head to work a few hours later. Worked til 8:00pm Monday and then Tuesday worked from home til 9:00pm. Yesterday, spent all day on conference calls until my boss in Minnesota called me around 3:30 and said to log off til Monday!! So, I slept in today and plan to do nothing today and tomorrow. I have to take Turner to Atlanta on Saturday for hockey since Paul will be out of town. But we will leave Sat morning and be back Sunday early evening. At least it is only abotu 4 and a half hours instead of 10!

So, you now have my update and know I am back in town. I hate I missed saying good bye and have fun to Julie and Denine but I know they will have a great time. Who wouldn't when Disney is involved?

Barb, I hate painting with a brish or a roller. My brother has his own painting business so he is the guy I call when I need something done now. I've done it myslef but I would rather pay him and his crew and they do an awesome job since I am the boss' sister. Prayers for Merv!!!

Sandy and Heidi, sounds like you had a great time with girls night. What movie did you see (or should I say giggle through?). Glad you guys are finally getting some rain.

I'll be back on smetime today or tomorrow in between naps, reading and just being a blob.

Missed you guys. LYMI

Susan - Sorry you got sick but glad you had a nice relaxing time in Disney. First class, fancy!!! I have only flown first class once. I am glad your boss is making you take some down time so you have time to recover a little bit. You are doing way too much time at work and you are going to make yourself really sick. Take care of yourself!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

OMG Susan, you had me laughing. Sorry you got sick. That is never fun on a vacation. But too say you caught it from the coach passengers was too funny. The trip to Disney being so laid back must have been nice. Ted and I are beginning to learn we don't have to run all day long. I'm happy your boss is understanding that you have been stressed. Just being a blob was another good one. Too funny!

Heidi, Cristina forgot her wallet in my car. I wonder if she just realized it today. Silly girl.

 

[Denine]

I have a confession to make. We left yesterday around 1:30. I drove while Jerry called into his meeting. We are now at our hotel in WDW. We stayed in West Virginia last night.
Julie called and we are going to talk in the morning to make plans for tomorrow.

Susan: Sorry you got sick, but at least you had a nice time with your friend!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Denine, yay, you made it. Glad you are there. Have fun and give Julie a hug.

 

[wildernessgirl]

Denine, you at the Residence Inn, right? When you said WDW, I was confused but I guess when you are in the vicinity I guess you could count that as Disney.

We arrived just about 1pm. We are at the Boardwalk villas now and after the cruise we are at Jumbo House at Animal Kingdom Villas. The villas at BW are so nice that they re-ferb the entire resort. The rooms are so pretty now. The flat screens tvs and darken wood furniture gives the rooms a much richer feel. The new appliances are wonderful! The hallways are so much nicer too! The carpets and wallpaper are sooooo calming.

Garry posted pictures of our dinner at the new Mexican restaurant at EPCOT on facebook. It was very nice and the view from the restaurant of Illuminations was out of this world!!!!

Well that's it for now. I will check back in later!

TTFN

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Yay, glad Denine and Julie made it to WDW. Off to check out Gary's pics.

Mom - Ha! I wonder how long Cristina has been searching for her wallet??!!!!

 

[Schrolls]

Good morning from Her Blobness!!!
That does sum up my day yesterday. I'm gonna try to get my hair and nails doen today if I can get in. Other than that, Her Blobness it is!!

Glad Julie and Denine have made it safely. Hope they all have a great time.
