MY CAMERA!!!!


I did it, I did it!

I didnt get it from Amazon - Jimmy is just old school. He think's everything could potentially be a scam and online shopping worries him....

I got home from work yesterday and really wanted to get it, but I just kept feeling guilty!!! Jim tosses $200 at me and goes, here...there's half of it, go get it! But I just couldnt!!! I was having pre-buyers-remorse!!! And all night, Jim kept saying, will you just GO! And I was hemming and hawing. The thought of just dumping $400 on something was making me woozy!!! I just couldnt do it!!! Ridiculous, I know....

BUT - last night at like 8pm I said - How about we fill out an app for a Best Buy credit card online, and if we get it, Ill get it and if we dont then Ill just stop yapping about it. He says - Fine.

We fill it out, it asks really specific questions, it was creepy. It asked about his sister's age range, and which one of these cars have you owned in the last 10 years (all for verification, but weird!!!) And then I click it, and it's going and going and it comes back....

APPROVED!!! And for $1000!!!

Then I thought to myself "Does Sephora have a credit card, maybe I should....... I?"

So we did instore pickup and I got it LATE last night, but it's such a cool CAMERA!!!

OH - and with the little warranty that Jim is insitant upon buying and the rechargable battery thing-a-ma-jog it was like $460! OUCH! Its just so much!!!

But I love it - and Im gonna play with it and become as famous as Ansel Adams!


AND - I think having an electronics store credit card can come in handy....especially around Christmas Time with the boys. Half my stinking shopping is always there.

Im just excited. We dont do a lot of credit cards AT ALL. This is our first "store" one. It's just exciting!

See, our money is totally together anyways, so it wasnt like I was taking $200 - thats why him doing that didnt make a difference. I could have taken $200 out of the account....same thing, y'know?

IM JONESIN' TOO!

Disney = Crack! My MOM said that on one of our trips.... she said, all serious too "They must put crack or something in the water...." I dont think I'd ever heard my mom say 'crack' , until then!! !!!

Yeah, our money is together too, but I still would have taken the $200 and ran.

I spent a bit of time looking at WDW stuff on ebay yesterday and then showed Sean some things when he got home. He was like "what do you need that for" and such. Uh, hello? I told him that this or that would be cool for mother's day. He doesn't get it. I swear he is a robot.

I do feel like giving Jul that doll for Easter will be a bit of a fix b/c it is from disney.
I just want to get the annual passes. Stupid question: do the passes look cool at all? Can someone show me? And does anyone know of a list of all of last years AP discount days for an idea? Please? I am now officially a desperate woman in need of a disney fix. I should put that in my siggie.

 

[julsmom]

Cat, did you buy your AP yet?

That's so funny! Sounds as innocent as my mother. When she smells a cigar or pipe smell... she says "oh, no, someone is smoking pot"! She is so sheltered!

OMG that is me!!! I am always asking Sean, is that pot? He has yet to say yes. I don't know why he lets me out of the house sometimes, and I think he agrees.

Okay, I do not like the new resort mugs. I hope all the resorts do not go to using the same mug. It is too general. It worries me that all the resorts will start to mesh into sameness. Exact same food, exact same mugs, exact same merchandise. I love that each one is a little different. But this may be the beginning.

Any word on a new celebration after YOAMD?

I thought the FL resident ones were different.

Good Morning!

Another QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What ring tones do you have on your cell phone?

I just have a regular ring for everyone.

I have the regular phone ringer for everything but the txt messages (frog croaking) and unwanted calls like from family, boss, co workers etc and it is the OLD NOKIA tune why... well if anybody here remember that scene in the movie Jurrasic part where Dino swallowed the phone and when it rang... you can hear it coming from a pile of sh1t so thats what it reminds me dont answer it's just about sh1t

Cat- Yay on getting the camera!!! I hope the cramping stops soon!

Michelle- I hope you're okay too!

The APs are paper tickets with Mickey/Minnie/Donald/Goofy on them (one of the characters).

Last year some of them had the 50th celebration on them, but it really depends on where you get them and what paper they have in their feed thing. sometimes they are not all the same.

 

[CathrynRose]

I thought the FL resident ones were different.

They are different, but the ticket itself is the same.... it then says "florida resident" printed up on the back... with the date of purchase and name of person.

 

[julsmom]

It is a bummer that they are only paper. Are you not supposed to laminate them?

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Themugs are alright, i like the old ones better, but it is nice to have new ones!

 

[julsmom]

DMM, are you feeling better today? I think you have just been through a little too much and need to just take it easy.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

you can't or they won't work properly. HOWEVER if you have your id, you can just go to any guest services window and get a new one!!

Hey Michelle - happen to know where you might get something 'different' - I want a cooler one. I was gonna just go to Concierge (ahem.... Guest Services, why they changed it is beyond me!) at POP!

Theyre like tha thick weird paper you cant rip. No laminate!
