Our Secret Green Club...continued yet again!

Well i guess the bandwidth here in the hotel is not enough for me to upload pictures, but i have some great ones of the city and the windows, I will share them when I get back I promise.... And I will make sure they are the "G" rated pictures...

I love adult only trips, they are wonderful....

We got bumped up to the Executive Level and we have access the lounge on the 44th floor for evening and breakfast, so I will take some pictures from up there also.

Have a good evening everyone.

I am so excited to get on that plane, even if the weather isn't as warm as we might have liked, its still LOTS better than here! Roughly 93 hours till we board the plane. Now if only I can manage to get over the sinus cold that I have right now before then, we'll be good. I have a food day at work tomorrow, then the kids have church tomorrow night while I will be going home to bake cookies for Thursday. Thursday evening Catie has her orchestra Christmas concert, all the parents were supposed to bring cookies. That's also my anniversary, 16 years, wow...not sure if it seems shorter or longer than that, lol Love ya Rick!

Then Friday I am thankfully off work for the day so I can get everything packed and ready to take off on Saturday morning, will do online checkin with the airline on Friday too, I'm sure. I am hoping to get away with only 1 checked bag, which I think I can do, but we'll see... We may need a second bag checked for the return flight, of course... I have started packing some of the kids' clothes in their carry on bags, so its not like I haven't started at all, at least. I've got swim suits and a couple outfits each already... plus one pair of jammies each (bought new ones, they are terry shorts and tank tops, Meag's are Mickey and Catie's are Eeyore) so far. Tonight Rick has bowling leagues, Catie has bball practice, then I am supposed to be taking both kids to the bowling alley to bowl their makeups for leagues since they will be missing on Saturday.

Gee thanks Kristi now that I read all you have to do i'm tired..



I like the second ticker better

 

[dgbg100106]

We just got back in for the day! I got a fabulous dress at the Saks Fifth Avenue store for this net year's Army Birthday Ball, I had it altered there and they will ship it to me at home in 10 days.... I am so excited the dress is AMAZING

We also saw Lion King tonight, it was so beautiful and the singing was so good, I was thrilled, I am so glad we went. We used our DVC discount and were sitting third row, so close and the costumes were very beautiful. Again I would recommend the show to everyone.

Hope everyone had a great day. Tomorrow is Macy's windows and hopefully some cheesecake.

It was a very busy evening, T. I did take a 1/2 day yesterday and went home and rested for a bit, which helped some, though the cold symptoms are still bad, but I got about 9 1/2 hours of sleep last night, so that's a good thing! I brought a pie for the food day here, and will bake cookies tonight, but will use refrigerated cookie dough, instead of mixing up my own, so that will speed things along. I have 3 tubed of Nestle Tollhouse cookie dough in my fridge that I got Monday for free, so that's what I will be making. I like BOTH my tickers, T!

Howdy PEEPs.

Happy Anniversary Rick and Kristi. G/l to you all getting everything done.

Brandi- glad ur having a fun trip. I want to go to NY, but I'm afraid of the bedbugs-- heard its bad up there.

we had no problems at all......Everything was exceptional at the Hilton, we were at the one on West 53rd and 6th Ave. on the 34th floor. The view was amazing and again the room was spotless and everything was very well taken care of. I heard nothing while we were there and better than that neither one of us have any bites....

So I would not be scared of a place like that.

 

[2girlsmom]

Thanks, Mary. I think that the bed bug scare is everywhere right now, I have even seen it mentioned in threads for the WDW hotels. They are horrid little bugs, but I think sometimes the fear of them makes it seem like they are more prevalent than they actually are, KWIM?

Tonight we have the concert for Catie's orchestra. I baked up my cookies last night, so I am ready for that. I am SO glad I took tomorrow off work, though, as I haven't packed a single article of clothing for Rick or I, and so far the girls have all warm weather stuff; since temps are forecasting in the 50's for highs a couple days, they are going to need a pair of jeans or two and a couple hoodies at least, and I am still convincing them that they will likely have to wear their winter coats on Tuesday night for MVMCP, since it will likely be around freezing by 10pm or so. I'm even more glad I booked the dessert party, though, that will get us in out of the elements for an hour or so there. The kids got their second gift cards from us yesterday, Catie's has Mickey and Minnie ice skating, and Meag's has Wall-E and Eve wrapped in christmas lights. So they have some spending money, which will make them happy. LOL

I'm so excited for you, Kristi! Good luck to Catie tonight!!! I'm glad you took off tomorrow too, so You and Rick won't have to take going commando in WDW to a whole new level

ok...now I'm itching from the bed bug talk! Fortunately, I've never seen one in a hotel room (and I do check) but have seen a DIS thread about them for just about every hotel at WDW. I remember my Grandma saying she had them on her honeymoon...way back in 1930something

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

Everyone loves a little spending money. I'm so excited for you guys Kristi.

Thanks Brandi, we will probably make a day trip out of it when we go. I'll probably wait a bit til it warms up some though.

Heather-- not making me feel better!

I think I'm going to get off work, go home & get in the tub then into bed & hang on the puter. I don't feel well. It's allergies that have really gone haywire. I have laryngitis, but otherwise feel ok-- just rundown today. Wanna rest up for the weekend to hopefully finish shopping.

B took his first final today. It was an oral exam, they had to give a presentation or something. The rest of his exams are next week. Can't believe he's finished his first semester of college already. He thinks he may be doing A-B work. Its the exams that scare me. Hopefully he'll do well.

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

Dang I forgot to tell you all our McDonald's finally reopened on Monday. YES, B made us get dinner from there that night.

I don't want brag, but it's really fancy schmancy now.

Now you guys will be able to find me again!

 

[3Leafs]
