all you Le Cellier people on 10/4

i have to cancel that ressie it's just too late for DS and we were thinking about attempting for an earlier one and nothing is available yet. THEN we gifured let's just try it, but i don't want anyone to be put put if he starts to whine and it takes one of us a minute to get him outside. He is fine in his stroller and on the go after 7pm, but i don't want to chance it for him. so we're going to dine a lot earlier on that day and we still have not figured out where.

I hope you find something earlier. Even with a 4 and a 6 yo late dinners are tough. They do much better with lunches, although I too would love to get a ressie on the 4th or 5th at LeCellier. I haven't tried to get one though and may try in the next couple of days. Let's pray for cancellations at decent hours eh???

But I just found out that I only have to work 4 hours on Friday since I worked 12 yesterday!! We get to leave earlier than we had planned!! Yay!! Well, I guess I'd better get. Oh, and....

[Msslaydbug]

WOW!!! I'm finally caught up! However, like ANTSS2001, don't ask me to repeat anything!

My comments, in no particular order:

I don't own a purple bra. I did, however, by a really nice black one the other day at Walmart! It's strapless, and it's so hard to find good strapless bras for those of us who are, well, to put it discreetly, amply endowed!

I love my Crocs! I love them so much that I bought a pair of pink Cayman's for Shannan (my granddaughter) because she wouldn't take mine off! I need to order a pair of some style in black so that I can wear them when I do convention work. It's so hard to be nice to people when your feet hurt!

I really planned on packing over the weekend, but I spent all day Saturday doing "stuff"--Shannan's soccer game, which they won and are the only undefeated 5-7 year old team left in the league, shopping at the mall, and just general housework. I spent yesterday visiting my my MIL, and got home just in time to head for bed!

My former secretary is back. They had a terrible time at WDW--couldn't get in anywhere to eat, couldn't park-hop, discovered that the monorail doesn't go to Universal, so they moved to a condo and spent the rest of the time hanging around the pool. She did say it was very hot and humid! She told me I was crazy for going there so often--it was such a waste of time and money! Good, that's one less group of people who will ever interfere with my plans!

And the best part is, I just told someone that I'm going to Disney World this week! It sounds so good to hear it out loud!

Beth -
That is terrible about your former secretary. My Best Friend went in June ( and didn't listen to ANY of my advice). They had a horrible time. She said she would NEVER go back It makes me sad to hear her say that but she dug her own grave.

SUNSCREEN INFO

The airlines have said you can now carry on small 3oz bottles!!!! woohoo. of anything liquid not just sunscreen, this should help you guys out now!!!! i forgot to post it this morning!!

'

YEAH ! Thanks Michelle! now I'llhave to run & buy a small bottle...!!! but it won't cost a fortune!

 

[scrappinmom]

Thanks! I'll be sure to read the directions first! That would definitely save some time! Guess I'd better get off here, though, or I'll never get ANYTHING done!!

HOLY MOLY that's A LIST! Hope you got to check some off!!

I got almost 100% packed today! Finished the shirts, packed mostly everything. Still might go buy another pair of crocs.....

 

[Msslaydbug]

Beth, let's hope next time (if there is one) she will seek out advice!!



here is the meet info KIDSISTER!!!

Scrappin, i will pass on your cell # to the peeps that i just passed mine on to! and i will PM you mine, b/c i don't think i did yet!!!


OOOOOO and if anyone wants to call me on the 28th after 7pm when it is my turn to just sit there and be bored and too dark in the car to read, please do so hahaah!!

I will be at the meet for the 27th and 29th. I won't make the one on the 1st bcause we are doing Spectro that night and Wishes. DD loves to listen to Wishes about 10 times a day so no way can I miss it. Plus in all my trips I have never taken the time to see Spectro So this time it is top of the list to do.

We check out of Pop on the 2nd but will still be in the "World" so wave Hi if you see us in the parks !! We leave for home on the 4th !!

 

[Msslaydbug]

OK, I'm ready to go now...I just finished laminating my Mickey Heads! My boss has been out all morning, so I finished most of my projects and then decided to take care of the Mickeys!

AGH - I almost forgot to pack my Mickeyheads That would have been very very bad !!

I sent down all our room decorations via FedEx so I almost forgot to pack those. My door would have been Lime Green Mickey headless

 

[Msslaydbug]

sorry!!!!!! i don't want to scare, but just trying to get myself into the mind set as the past 5 yrs we have gone it has been near empty, so we're a bit frightened too! esp. after hearing how SOLD OUT all the values and mods are!!

I too think it is going to be madness !! We extended our vacation by 3 days and couldn't get into Pop so we are moving hotels. I am excited to be there longer but very sad I have to leave all my new Pop friends sooner.

I think the crowds are going to be BIG and am planning my itinerary like that too.

 

[ANTSS2001]

Good, that's one less group of people who will ever interfere with my plans!

[dreamergirl78]

"mommy's gonna need a stroller!"

Yes, I will gladly help. I probably won't have much at all if anything to drink, so count me as your DD for your daughters!

 

[ANTSS2001]

Here is the menu list for anyone going to the Food & Wine Fest!

http://www.allearsnet.com/tp/ep/fw06/fw06f.htm

[kaytieeldr]

Okay, I'm getting there...
Tops stacked on 'spare' end table
Adding slacks to pile intermittently
Breaking in shoes
ECV reserved
Towel animal learned
Towel purchased (more of an avocado than lime, but I didn't have the energy to go store-hopping - but really, it should be the only towel animal that's not white, never mind that swans ARE )
Trial sizes purchased
Ziplock bags purchased
Ziploc containers purchased (oh, wait - those aren't for the trip)

Yep, for a change I'm not gonna be throwing stuff in the suitcase fifteen minutes before I need to leave for the airport. I think.

!"

ME TOO !! I need all the help I can get...

 

[lovemygoofy]

How awesome he actually got home! My DH is in the Air Force. Maybe they can talk a little cross-branch shop. DH's step-brother is in Iraq with the Army now. He's a mechanic, but they sent him over as infantry, so everyone's a bit nervous for him.

Okay, DS and I went to Michael's today and bought 10 t-shirts to do iron-on transfers on!!
Then he wanted to check out a Halloween store, where he bought skeleton gloves and skeleton glasses???
Ran to Taco Bell for a quick lunch.
Picked up DD from school.
They dropped me off at Walmart where I picked up transfer printer paper, while they ran to HD and stole (er...um...acquired) some Mickey heads. First time I've got them to get any for me!!
Came home and printed off 7 iron-ons. I ruined the paper on 2 others. Put one in upside down, and the printer grabbed 2 at a time on the other! Tried to print off 2 more designs but they turned out all blurry. Waiting to hear from the designer about what to do.
Reserved ECV yesterday, but haven't heard back from the company yet. Hope I'll hear tomorrow!
T-shirts are in wash now. Will get to the iron-on-ing tomorrow. I'll let DS do his first and if they look okay, then he can do mine!!

Tomorrow:
Dentist appt. at 1 PM...2 teeth pulled, plus a third getting "crown-ready". Hope I'm not in pain at WDW!
Go to bank to deposit last of change and $1 bills.
Go by doctor's office and pick up copy of last bloodwork. Called last Thursday and the nurse said she'd either mail it or drop it by my house (she lives around the corner), but she must have forgot!
Finish packing!!!!
I'm sure I'll think of more stuff I forgot!

Better get off now as DD15 needs computer for school work! HMMPH!!! Priorities, priorities!!

 

[ANTSS2001]

OK!! I finally finished my dozen lime mickey heads for our window and door... it is not as elaborate and as grand like others but hopefully it will catch some of your eyes so you can sign the rest of the mickey heads on the door ! Yes there will be a sharpee hanging... For my window I just turn the HDLGMH like small Sun Cattchers.... hope it works...and catches YOU !!

 

[iwynlea]

WOW! Can you say YUM?!?!?!?!
Can't wait to sample some of those items! And yes, my mouth is watering a bit right now. I think I shoudl go eat breakfast!

I haven't been all the way through yet, so someone else may have posted this already, and I apologize if so....one good tip is that if you want a recipe book with how to make almost everything sold at the booths, check out the main festival headquarters (it's where they sell a lot of the wine - last year it was in one of the Innoventions buildings)...they have a F&W cookbook that's about $13 (or was, last year)! We use it ALL the time, and although it never tastes quite the same as at the World, it's as close as we can get at home!

 

[mrFDNY]
