was away shopping all day today
we are in the middle of doing up the house
got new bedcloths for DS and curtains
was looking at a new fireplace for the living room , but haven't seen anything that I really really like
I'm delighted with the new windows and the boiler is still working so far

got to make my ADR's for our stay at WDW before the cruise
Booked crystal Places MK, Le Celliers EP, Cafe May BC and whispering canyon WL , don't want to eat to much before the cruise
was on the chat room Saturday night after work but no one was about
any one chatting earlier

 

[mommy2777]

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm still here. I survived yet another tax season!!!

I made my adr's for our pre-cruise WDW trip today. I got Rainforest at DTD, LTT for our night at MNSSHP, CP at MK and Tusker House at AK.

It's kinda ridiculous that I know what all that stands for. I need therapy.

Hope everyone is well. I will try to get to more chats. I usually pop in and find myself all alone I hate the dark.

Take care!

Karen

I am absolutely green with envy for those of you who are making your ADR's. We'd hoped to do the week before the cruise at WDW, but thanks to a leak in the roof that's eating into my vacation budget, it looks like we're down to a few days before. Man the cost of roof repair is & . So now we're debating which park(s) this time - the kids REALLY want to do a water park, and we did MK last time, so it's either AK or Disney Hollywood, and a water park. Debated dealing with buckets in the dining room for a little while longer and spending the money on Mickey, but common sense and that danged "financial responsibility" kicked in . Life was much more fun when we blew our money with no thought to consequences .

Can you imagine being all depressed because I can't spend a week in WDW ON TOP OF a 7 day cruise?? Oh wait - forgot who I was talking to - my fellow Mickey Addicts - of course you understand!

Amy and I have been hanging out on chat, and were starting to wonder if we were scaring everyone else away!! (Which we recognize is entirely possible - we've had some interesting chats in there! ) One trick I learned - if I log into chat and no one is there, I minimize the screen with my sound on, and then hear if someone else logs in. You need to check every now and then to make sure the system hasn't booted you out, but if you hang around long enough you will usually find Amy and/or myself! We were debating last time if we were real die hards, or just needed a life!

Anyhow - my messy kitchen is calling my name. Hubby is all depressed - Boston is losing the hockey game. Kiddies are in bed. And I need to get away from this computer and get kitchen cleaned away and lunches made for tomorrow. Talk to you all later.

Almost forgot - told Amy Saturday night I would post a winter picture. This was taken last March in front of our old house. I took the picture while standing on the walkway in front of the front door. Alex was on top of the snowbank that was in front of our house. The roof you see behind him is the roof of the house (a bungalow) that was directly across the street from us - and on the same level as ours. Now you know why we still had snow until recently Amy - it takes a while for all that to melt!!

 

[suziemva]

LOL! We had a grand total of 3 1/2 inches of snow this whole winter!!!! But I think we're paying for it because it has done nothing but rain all day yesterday and today....and I'm talking DOWNPOUR! My backyard is flooded! Say goodbye to the grass seed floating away that we put down on Saturday....

We also have a new addition to our family. Last Sunday we brought home our 6 week old Golden Retriever and he is just adorable. We named him Max and he is adjusting quite well. Thankfully the weather has been nice finally so it hasnt been too difficult getting him out for potty breaks. We do have a way to go in training though- he still has accidents occasionally and he likes to bite and teeth on people. I have my hands full but it is sooooo worth it!! Of course our two cats dont think so....!

I would love to join in on chats but I have problems with the website. I can get on and view but I cannot participate. Maybe others are having problems as well. If that is the case and others would like to join in as well, we could chat off this website. They have a chat area on the DIS Boards. Just a thought.

 

[jns]

Congratulations on the new dog
Sean and christine are calling their new dog Max too I think

we had no snow this year yet
but lots of wind and rain
never knew about the diss board chat room

Newfiemom of couse we understand
Do I really need to up date our living room which had been the same still 1974 or save the money for anyother holiday to WDW / DCL

ORLANDO, Florida - Walt Disney World seems to have worked its magic on a Massachusetts couple who accidentally threw away three platinum and diamond wedding rings.
While tidying up their villa as they prepared to leave the park late last week, Paul Campanale dumped a cardboard bowl, not knowing the container inside it held his wife Karen's engagement, wedding and five-year-anniversary rings.
Park employees warned the couple from Worcester, Massachusetts, that recovering the jewelry was all but impossible. So on Friday, the Campanales and their two children loaded onto a Magical Express bus and headed to the airport.
Back at the Wilderness Lodge resort, executive housekeeper Drew Weaver realized that trash from the Campanales' villa had not reached the industrial-size compactor yet. He and seven other volunteers donned protective clothing, emptied a parking lot bin and waded through bag after bag of rubbish to find the rings. And they did.
Paul Campanale, 37, a chemist, received the good news on his cell phone and Weaver met the family to deliver the rings. Karen Campanale, 35, a teacher, said she was shocked by the find.
"That's not the first time we've gone through trash -- oh, no," Weaver said. "We don't always find things. Many times we come up empty. But we didn't this time."

Here's a photo of Max. It was a surprise email that we received from the rescue group last week:

May 3rd is coming...

Seems like the first few times we chatted, the system worked fine. But, the last couple, the booting off started for us. Not that we're avoiding chat, but we've got quite the Max shopping list. The times we've done it so far, its been much fun.

Couldn't ask for a nicer suprise email, could ya'?!

 

[summer gal]

Pa Couple, what a beautiful dog! Good luck with Max!

 

[dizney-cruiser]

I was heading to the gym yestersday along with my DS17 when this young deer ran out and hit the front wing of the car
really shock me up
the car has quite a lot of damage on it
but the main thing was there was no other car as I was able to stop with out hitting the car that was comimg the other way and that we are all right
the deer had to be put down
waiting for the insurance company to come out and have a look , the garage has given me another car in the mean while

The funny thing was that a TV camera crew were there within a few minutes as they are doing a programme about all the wild deer running around wild in the area

 

[mommy2777]

im glad you are both ok, i feel for the deer, it happens alot. i get upset even if i hit a we wittle squirrel! again, im glad you ok.

 

[jns]

They are becoming a real problem here at the moment
It is only a matter of time before someone is killed and and they are eating up lots of peoples gardens too

 

[suziemva]

I know this sounds really strange but it's straight from my insurance appraiser when I hit a deer a few years back....don't clean anything off the car!! If you clean it all off (I wanted to get the deer fur off but thankfully left it!) and they can't really see that it was a deer you hit, they can deny your claim! Yes, really!! Ugh, is that awful or what?!

I'm so sorry that this accident happened and totally understand how it rattles you, so please accept a big hug from me! I'm glad you all are okay and nobody was hurt in any cars!

 

[FLBookworm]

Glad you didn't get hurt. I had a similar thing happen when I lived in California years ago. As I was driving though a residential section of Montery, CA a deer came out of nowhere and jump over the hood of my car. I don't think I've ever been as startled before or since. Hopefully everything with the insurance adjuster goes well.

DW, and I stopped at Epcot on the way home from work and caught the Starship concert. Got to say, they can still rock.
