Our September 2011 Pre-Trip Adventure!! (Update 09/29/2011 - Link to TR!)

I could use that foot spa right about now. I wore a new pair of shoes last night and today and, as cute as they are, my feet hurt.

I love your pictures from the fair. Cute Mickeys.

I especially love your T-shirt! so cute!

I love the Princess Diaries! I think more than that, I just love Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.

Love the cupcakes for sure. I love that you go all in on your movie nights.

I love it too! They sure are great in this movie, aren't they?

Thanks - it was fun making them. I didn't think I would enjoy the movie nights but I actually look forward to them - think it would be wierd if I didn't have one now!

Very nice spa night!
I haven't seen the Princess Diaries in a long time, will have to watch them again sometime soon. Hannah watched them all the time in the past.

Thanks!
Yeah, sure get round to watching them with Hannah as they are a great watch and a fun way to spend some girly time together

Lol, even though I only just used it the other day am ready for another foot spa as well! The things we do for new shoes eh? I wore a new pair on a night out once and let me tell you it def was not a good move or sight. I was hobbling by the end of the evening!

Thanks Mary Ellen - that's a great compliment coming from you. I thought they were cute as well and a great way to prepare for our upcoming trip.

Yeah I love it too, hence the reason I could not wait to put it on - even though it was meant to be for our Disney trip!

Love your movie choice! Princess Diaries is such a wonderful movie. When it first came out on DVD (well, I had VHS at the time.) I watched it over and over again.
You reminded me of the film and now I want to have a movie night and re-watch it!
The foot pampering sounds like a lot of fun! And what better way to tie together a movie about royalty than to treat yourself like one.
I laughed that you couldn't wait to wear your Disney shirt. I know exactly what you mean. Whenever I buy a WDW shirt, I wash and wear it the very next day.

I love the Princess Diaries! Great choice!

Those cucumber and cheese sammies look excellent as well... what kind of cheese did you use, btw? I might have to try that for dinner one night this week, sounds very cool and refreshing.

I am sure you will lose weight before the trip, especially with Ramadan. At least it will not be during your vacation, I think it ends the last week of August, yes? We moved our wedding dinner back about 30 minutes from when it was originally scheduled for some of our friends in '08 to make sure it was after sundown. I really don't know how you do it, I wouldn't last a week, I'm sure.

Princess Diaries 2 is very cute as well...both of those movies I always end up watching if I'm switching channels on tv and they are playing!

Thanks! It sure is a great movie. Everytime I would notice that it was going to be playing on tv I made sure I saw it. I went to the pics to see it on release and loved it! Finally got it on DVD a few weeks ago so we could watch it together.

You sure should re-watch it!

Yeah it was great fun. As the picture shows we got a bit carried away with the bubbles and salts at the start - at one point it was overflowing! However we soon got the hang of using it. Lol, we sure decided we wanted to be treated like royalty that day - would have been even better if we had managed to find tiaras! I'm glad I'm not the only person that does that with their Disney shirts I still have some others that I have not worn yet and am trying to keep just to wear on the trip. We'll see how long I last!

Thanks - I love that movie as well!

Yeah, with the heat you guys have been getting the cheese and cucumber sarnies will sure help keep you cool and refreshed. I used cheese slices on the ones we had that day but I have also used grated cheddar cheese in the past - when I am not watching my weight!

I am sure hoping that is the case - normally when I am strict during Ramadan I lose weight. I just have to be careful not to stuff my face with fried goodies, chocolates and crisps when I can eat! The first few days are normally hard and then the body just gets used to it. It is for a month and ends at the end of August where we usually celebrate with a big feast. Lol, I am so glad we are not going to Disney World in August - can you imagine having made all them ADRs and then finding out we could not eat at any of them?!

I like both the films as well and always end up watching them if they are showing.

Mmmm love the spa night. I need to get some girls together and do one of those. I also love Princess Diaries!

It sure was a great night. You should def get the girls together, do a foot spa/facial evening and watch Princess Diaries!

 

[Nermel9]

Awww, what a cute movie night! I haven't seen the Princess Diaries yet, but I should watch it, I think I'd really like it! Your cupcakes were so cute!

 

[cbg1027]

Thanks for the encouraging words. I haven't landed any more interviews yet, so nothing has happened.

Princess Diaries is a cute movie, I liked it, but it is somewhat forgettable which I suppose is why you don't see it mentioned much.

Good luck with the weight loss. Do you eat anything special during Ramadan or is there a certain day you make a big feast?

Thanks, I like the movie and think you would too.

We enjoyed making the cupcakes

Your welcome Abby Same here - hopefully something will come up soon.

It sure is a cute movie. I can understand what you are saying though but I still enjoy watching it.

Thanks. No, we don't eat anything special during Ramadan but have a feast the day after it finishes where we eat a huge amount of food

 

[TanzUnited99]

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a good Wednesday! I went shopping for the final lot of clothes, shoes and accessories before our trip. I still need to get toiletries and first aid stuff but am making a seperate trip for that - lol I am talking as if we are going to be leaving tomorrow!!

I had a great day spending money I didn't have!

I bought the following vest top which I love and think will be great in the heat. It is a darker shade of green than that in the picture.

I loved this Donald Duck and Daisy top - have not seen many with them on plus it was in the sale so couldn't resist!

I also bought some white capris, sunglasses and three pairs of shoes!! They were not that expensive and plus I knew I wouldn't be able to shop during Ramadan so had to get most things today.

48 days to go!!! Enjoy the rest of your week - there is a Harry Potter 50 best moments programme on that I am off to watch!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

I am catching up on ptr/tr since I was away last week. So sorry that your interview didn't go well. Looking forward to hearing about a good one in the future! Great movie nights - the stoplight is awesome! I will have to pass that idea along to my sil for a future bday party for my nephew. (Yes, I am planning ahead since he is only 5 months.) Princess Diaries is so wonderful!!

I love the gold and tan sandals! They are lovely! I am fearful for your suitcase--it is bound to be jumped on to get all of your great finds in it!

I hope all of your other worries are being resolved...

 

[IheartDDuck]

Love the stuff that you bought!

Totally adore that Donald and Daisy tee. I'm telling you, you get the cutest stuff over there!

 

[JoShan1719]

I love the first top! It's going to work out great in the Florida heat.

 

[teekathepony]

I missed that Harry Potter show I wanted to watch it too.
Love the clothes, particularly those first pair of shoes!!

 

[amazingact21]

Loks like you had a productive day shopping, which is great! Love the first pair of shoes and the Minnie Mouse shirt!
It must be exciting to know you're close enough to shop for your trip!

 

[jenneth79]

Yay for shopping! That Daisy and Donald shirt is so cute. I can't think of the last time I've seen a shirt with her on it. Nice find!

I'm having a really hard time putting away the stuff I am buying for our trip. Mike suggested he put a combination lock on the suitcase so I would stop wearing everything!

No probs - thanks for catching up! I sure hope to have an interview with good news in the near future - preferably with a start date for after our trip as would hate to have to ask for time off work when I have only just started a job.

Thanks - I got the stoplight idea from the movie thread on these boards and was very pleased with the way they turned out. It's probably best to plan ahead where kids are concerned as they grow up pretty quick. I have experienced that with my sister who has just shot up before our eyes I love Princess Diaries!!

The sandals are very comfy. I know, I fear for my suitcase as well! However, that's it as far as holiday shopping is concerned. I've promised myself not to spend anymore now apart from toiletries - we shall see if I am able to resist temptation.

Aaw thank you - things are being resolved but not in a good way, if that makes sense. I'm sorry to be vague but I need to make sure certain people are aware of the situation before posting it on here. Thanks for the hug

Love the stuff that you bought!

Totally adore that Donald and Daisy tee. I'm telling you, you get the cutest stuff over there!

Thanks!!

I thought of you when buying that shirt and knew you would appreciate it! We actually don't get much Disney stuff here so when we do get something it tends to be special

I love the first top! It's going to work out great in the Florida heat.

Hi Shannon! Welcome and thanks for commenting. I love it for that reason as well - thought I better get some tops that will actually help with the Florida heat

 

[TanzUnited99]

I missed that Harry Potter show I wanted to watch it too.
Love the clothes, particularly those first pair of shoes!!

It was a really good show. I'm sure it will get repeated - I sure hope so as I missed the beginning and would like to watch it from the start again.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to wearing them shoes and they are pretty comfy. Just have to keep reminding myself 'No more shopping, no more shopping'!

Loks like you had a productive day shopping, which is great! Love the first pair of shoes and the Minnie Mouse shirt!
It must be exciting to know you're close enough to shop for your trip!

I sure did have a productive day! I went with the mindset of trying to get some pants as I have plenty of tops. So I did what any other person would do and bought more tops and not so many pants! That's it though shopping wise - no more for me.

It sure is exciting - only a little over a month to go!!!

Yay for shopping! That Daisy and Donald shirt is so cute. I can't think of the last time I've seen a shirt with her on it. Nice find!

I'm having a really hard time putting away the stuff I am buying for our trip. Mike suggested he put a combination lock on the suitcase so I would stop wearing everything!

for shopping!! I get totally addictive though so now have to talk myself out of buying anything else I'll just have to remind myself that if I don't spend more now I can buy more at Disney World! I thought the Daisy and Donald shirt was cute as well. I've been on the lookout for a Mad Hatter shirt to wear to 1900 Park Fare but have not had much luck. May just see if I can find one during our trip.

Lol I'm the same! I've had to keep reminding myself that it is for our trip and it won't feel the same if I wear things now. I have been pretty good and the only one I have worn is the Mickey and Minnie one. Now having a combination lock on the suitcase sounds like an idea However, I'm sure I would find a way around it!

 

[PixieMama]

The Donald/Daisy tee is too cute!
