Oct 3, 2009 Wester Carribean

[the great cornholeo]

Well I just did our taxes, and now I'm really happy to say that we are all set. Once the check hits the bank we can pay off the cruise book our flights and still pay off summer camp. Woo hoo I wish all as much luck with your tax refunds.... now I can't wait to start buying things for the cruise. I was always hesitant to start before.

Still here...hanging around and trying to keep up with the board when I have time. I must seem like one of the poof, then gone folks.

Welcome Amy! Glad to hear that you are still going on the cruise Michelle.

I can't imagine trying to manage my Netflix movies with one day less each week to recieve and send mail.

Amy, why can't you book at bay lake until 3/15. I thought that it was seven mos out? We are going to stay (hopefully, perhaps) at VWL before the cruise...not sure how we're getting to port yet tho.

Weather here has been snowy and icy. ick. Caribbean sounds really good right about now.

Yup you are correct about the 7 months out which would mean that I could call starting on the 2nd of March, but I was reading on another blog someone had posted to me that I could start on the 15th, so I called DVC and asked them when I can call to book and they also told me the 15th so... Maybe I should call DVC again!::cop:

Laura-once it's pd it's such a relief! I really don't have much to buy. Just a formal for me. I have never worn dress pants to dinner before but I think a couple of the casual nights I might. I am just used to wearing dresses everytime but I found some really cute pant outfits so we will see.

Hope everyone had a good Sat....mine is coming to an end so I guess it's time for me to Dream Disney!! TTFN

BLT will not follow the normal 7 months rule to start of with. BLT owners can start making reservations making March 1st and other DVC members on March 15th. After that the normal 11/7 months booking windows will apply. We are hoping to stay at BLT after the cruise so I can't wait for March 15th.

Well I was routing for AZ, but that didn't go so well. At least it wasn't a boring game. I can't imagine being a football fan on the east coast. The time zone does work really well for us for football. (well except for the 10 am games--we miss those because we are in church)
Well, I'm about 1/2 way done with doing our taxes and we are in too . We might even be able to do an excursion!
I know what you mean Michelle, when Ryan is home it throws off my routine.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Boy ...... U would think something special was going yesterday.....nobody on here.... Well I know Val is doing the Happy Dance! I didn't have a fav team but I didn't want the stinky Steelers to win...owell.

Cool thing about taxes Andrea.....it feels even better once u pay it....I just wish I could find a decent airfare soon and book that too....then I would know I can get there I don't think I will be booking that till about April cause I am waiting for some of the airlines to spit out their air for October...like come on already!!

Well I am off to lay back down, I was just up cause my back bothered me. I have to drive Nelia's classmates to the firestation today for a field trip. I will have Nelia in my car, triplets and her friend who's a twin. Nelia can't pick friends who come in singles... So whenever we do something I automatically get 6 girls.

Good morning all! Well, two more days and we can say we are going in "less than" 8 months.
Well, our high today is going to be 72. I know I live in CA, but this is just wierd. Two weeks out of the month of Jan we had temps in the low 70's and now we are starting off Feb with 72...Ryan is going to be fixing our fence this week and then I think we are going give the backyard a facelift. Our trampoline is on its last leg, so we are going to get rid of that and replace it with a wood play structure. All the more reason for the kids to play outside more when it's nice.
I'm going to try to post a picture of Ashleys formal (or semi-formal) dress. I just have to upload the pictures.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Here is Ashley (on the right) and her friend Kristina. This is one of the two dresses we got for her.

Here is a picture of Baileys superbowl attire. She spent the day outside playing "super girl".

 

[dismom73]

Don't make this supergirl mad!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Andrea---love the super girl! Ashley is such a beautiful girl--oops I mean young woman. Her dress is cute.....(waiting to see the other one!!)

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Hey Andrea....is Ashley's dress blue or purple? Hard to tell on my comp. Wow we were the only 2 on yesterday.....

Helllllooooo Hellllooooo anyone out there?? Everyone must be working lots or something..... Just a little FYI--they have cute mini lightup spinning globes at Target for $2.99 in the valentines day stuff. I get them for the girls for pirate night dinner and party. I have the large ones but these cute mini's will fit better in luggage. Just wanted to tell anyone interested. I put them in the bags I make up the kids think are from Mickey. Also any little girls who r into littlest pet shops(like mine) they have them at Target in val day stuff in a 5 pack for $5.99....and we all know they are usually $6 a piece. Ok I am done with my shopping finds...

Well I hope everyone is alive and having a good day...making loads of money for Disney

I am still here. I have had a bit of rough time at work recently. As the icing on the cake after a week of technical difficulties and aircraft downgrades, we had loads of cancellations and delays due to heavy snow in the UK yesterday.

Still, I have today off and will head into town shortly for some lunch and a bit of shopping. We had a bit of a sort out of old PS2 games that we no longer play and I will trade them in for maybe a couple of games for the WII.

I just realised it is exactly 8 months until our cruise today

I just realised it is exactly 8 months until our cruise today

YEAH!!!! only 8 more months.... It's coming fast, it seems like we were just cheering for the 9 month mark

 

[dismom73]

Are you kidding? It seems like we were just cheering for the 1 YEAR mark! Tomorrow we will be able to say we are going in less than 8 months! It's going to start to go fast, once spring hits (I think it has alread hit here, everything is blooming) then summer (and summer ALWAYS goes by so fast) then it's time to go! I still have to figure out what I'm going to do for FE gifts!

Here spring seems ages away yet. We had the coldest temperatures here for about two decades over the last two days and a big part of the country has been brought to a standstill by snow. It normally never snows in the UK so we are not equipped to deal with it if it does snow after all. Here in the north west of England we did not get much snow so it was business as usually.

I no longer have an excuse not to get a bit fitter before our cruise. We had sorted out loads of games for the PS2, the Game Cube and some PC games that we no longer play. DH just wanted to give them away, but I decided to take them to a store that takes trade ins. I did not think I would get much, but I got enough trade in value for a WII Fit, a battery pack and an accessory pack for the WII Fit. Now we just have to set this up and then my exercise regime will commence.

Back to work for me tomorrow, but I only have to work three days and then I have the weekend off.

Andie (dismom73), wow, that picture (especially that face) really reminds me of a little girl I once knew. Funny, she was the last in a line of three also. Things that make you go hmmmmm......
