Morning peeps!!
I'm sneaking in a quick update. I wanted to doit last night but the boards were down for maintenence
I have less time this morning, so it will be short
Unlike many of you... I do not prewrite myupdates....I just sit down and write... so I suppose its more like a blog
Alrighty! Stop...with...the ...random....thoughts....must...focus....
So, where am I on my fabulous to-do list?? Lets see....
OK..To Do list!!
finish packing DONE
make goodie bags forthe boys DONE
make our tees DONE
inventory what I'm taking to add to my owner's locker
print out confirmation #s DONE
email Jen...she wants packing lists for herself and the boys DONE
decide where to stick my tripod...I think I'm going totake it. DONE
write down all my ADRs and times
write out bills for while I'm gone
get addys and add themto "Alice" my GPS for our parkand fly hotel DONE
get my nails repainted friday...assuming they don't last the week
make luggage tags for Jenand the Boys
Stop and pay for heating oil Delivery DONE
Confirm BBB ressie
Check-in with Southwest for Saturday's Flight
Make Garden Grocer order DONE
In addition I have to....
go to Work
take Ellie and Allison to Dance classes DONE
take Allison to the Gym for practice...Mon, Weds and Fri
Check-in on Nanna daily and do her shopping/cleaning
Check-in on my Grandma and do her shopping (Nanna usually does it)
Tom's Gram... Nan.... we got the call this am, will probably not make it thru the day...so we will have that to deal with...of course that will replace a day of Work DONE
Stain my porch DONE
get some flower bulbs in the ground...I bought 400 and the weather just WON'T co-operate! I GOT 200 IN!
laundry/ironing
hmmm I'm glad that's coming along nicely... since I'm down to only a few hours to finish it
Today, I'm going to take Allison to schoool, then go to my Mom's house to check on her and help get her meds staightened out,then to Starbucks
, then off to work til 7pm. On my wayhome, i'mgoing tostopat my CM consultant's house and pickup the plethera of scrapbook supplies I had ordered...come home DIS, watch the Vampire Diaries and do laundry.....Doesn't that sound like a fun-filled and exciting day????
Well...trip related.
I plugged the addy for the hotel into Alice's brain and she told me it will be a 4 hr drive Sat am
I'mguessing she's compensating for known construction because I know we made it in less than 3.5 last time
So we are going to leave an hour early....i refuse to feel stressed and rushed.
Sat morning I'll get up at 5am and get the car packed up, then meet Jen at MickeyD's at 630. So even with a stop...we should be able to get to the Ramada by 11am. We will catch the shuttle to the airport, check our bags and get some lunch before our 2pm flight.
BTW...I forgot to mention....I DID manage to get all my stuff into a carryon!
That was one of my goals for this trip. I don't mind checking bags on the way down,but that SW desk at MCO is a NIGHTMARE!
last thing for today...
Since my girls have gone several times before, I feel it's important to have some new experiences for our trip... so these are some of the new attractions/events/etc they are going to have. The one's in RED are new for me too!
