Princess Gabby's Surprise First Trip to "Where the Princesses Live"

[Nettaboo]

Hey Guys!! So this weekend..
Friday, picked up Baby Girl and head to the store so that I can get the rest of the supplies to make the lunches.
After that I ran home to drop the stuff I bought for myself in the freezer and then to Target to pick up my RX
Then off to my moms house..I made me and G something to eat(from food I brought-not mooching today)-Boneless Porkchops on the GF Grill, brown rice and brocoli and a Green Smoothie!!
Then off to the basement to workout with my mommy.
She got this new home gym thingy with all the weights and stuff so we do that.. She also has this "thing' that you sit on and hold on the handles and pull yourslef up..it works your abs and thighs..
then we did these exercises called leg throws...ok..THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST EXERCISES FOR ME EVAH!! Check it outhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WkbYH2V-3o

I went home hurting for real!

SATURDAY

ok so my dad had told Baby Girl he was taking her to breakfast (something he does every couple of months) and to be ready by 7:30. So up at 7 to get her ready..
My mom came over about 8:30..I made us a Green Smoothie and we started on our quest about 9 or so to get these lunches made. Now remember- we are making 100 lunches with 200 sandwhiches each..
Well my silly but bought 10 loaves(20 slices in a loaf) But we needed 20 loaves..so I sent the Hubs to get us 10 more..

Soo 20 loaves of bread, 25 packs of bolgna, 12.5 packs of cheese, 25(4packs) of apple sauce,2 packs of spoons, 12 packs of oatmeal cream pies later we had finshed making the lunches and with the help of the hubs had them out to the car..
AND MY BACK WAS KILLING ME!!

Quick stop to the dollar store to get more spoons because our packs were short and a stop at Checkers for some Grub we were on our way..

Took us about an hour to get there..through all these back roads and what not..we get there drop off and the guy tells me I can take 270 to 70 back ..SCORE..or so we thought..
It felt like it took way way longer to get back!!!
We finally get home at four..

I had to jump in the shower and find something to wear because I had to meet my girl friends at the movies for GNO for my friends BDAY..

My sister is at my house so I get dressed and we go..for those of you who are familar with Columbia you can tesitfy how hard it is to find a space on the weekend. So after driving around the lot for 15mins we head to the garage..go round and round to the top..STILL Not one space!! Even at the top..so we see some people come up and ask them where they are parked..stalk them and get their space..By now it is 6:10..
We go to the movies and wait for everyone else..at 6:20 I call the bday girl and she says she is looking for a space. When she gets there is is after the 6:30 movie start time and we go to the automated ticket kiosk thingy..
My sister is using the one next to me ..I get my 2 tickets(buying the bday girls tickets) and about to pay for mine and it won't let my sister pay for hers- it is sold out!!I cancel my transaction and we walk aover to try to find something else to watch...
(sidebar for those of you still reading..My girlfriend who had gotten there before us had called us and said she saw the movie we were going to see and was going to see soemthing else)..

We didn't find anything we wanted to see so we decided to go to the one of the resturaunts grab a drink at the bar and wait for our firend..all the bars were full!!SIGH so I sent a text to my girl friend if she came out the movie I would pay for it!!LOL AND SHE DID!!
Score!!
So we went to TGIF for food. The wait was TWO HOURS!!BUT the Bday girl had just joined the little TGIF card club and was given a jump the line pass..FIVE mins..yeah more like it!!

We ate and drank and had a ball!!
On the way out I asked my sister to go in my trunk and get me a bottle of water..she says..out of the homelesslunches?? SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSH??
Wait..WHAT??
She says yeah you have a bunch back there.. I am like ***??

No wonder why my car has been smelling like bolgna and cheese all day..
by now it is almost 11. I find the number to the place and call them..they say I can bring it tonight..my sister agrees to go with me..
So we go all the way back out there..i am soo ready to cry I am so sleepy and tired!
Thank God for my sister because I would be in a ditch ..finally got home at 12:30... jump on the computer to check the time of the party for Sunday..FB my thanks to my sister and went to bed

SUNDAY..
Slept till like 10, got Baby Girl up and ready for the party at Chucke Cheese..
MAN it was soooot hot up in there!!
After the party we went to Target..i wanted to get her another version of Alice in Wonderland to watch becasue she said the new one looked creepy..lol
picked up some popcorn and went home..
Once we were home I helped her play this DS game my dad had bought her then fixed dinner..
The hubs looked at the version of the moive I got and said that I should have bought the Disney animationn one so I said ok..well you can take it back and get the other one.. He got online and found out it won't be back out till the 30th so we picked another movie poped popcorn and watch Lion King..after that ..showers and THE BED

WEEEW..and that was my weekend!!

Oh no that you left those lunches in your trunk! That's a very cool GAD though, I would love to do a GAD that I can just do at home like that, since I never go anywhere without the babies which means there's a lot I can't do.

That's a lot of drama trying to see a movie and going out to eat! Glad it all worked out.

I fear chuck-e-cheese, I'm so glad that DS isn't old enough for that yet!

Sounds busy, but like a lot of fun!

How are you still moving around today? You did enough stuff over the weekend to last a whole week!

THANK GOD I have tinted windows and it was in the way back of the mini van !!
I am very glad we picked that GAD..my parents and I used to make bag lunches downtown and pass them out and we have not done it about 3 years soo it felt good to be doing it againn. In fact we are going to do it again next weekend for the shelter!! and when my sister went with me to drop off and got to meet some of the guys..she said she wanted to help so maybe it won't be so bad next weekend!!LOL
Chuckee Cheese can be OK early in the am..but the party was at 2 and it was PACKED and it was 60 degrees outside and theyhad the heat on

How are you still moving around today? You did enough stuff over the weekend to last a whole week!

Lisa, girl I am barely making it today!!Seriously!! But you know how I got through it all?? Seriously?? I thought about each task ask preparing for Disney.
Standing up making all those sandwhiches?-Preparing to stand in line at Disney
Waiting for our table-waiting for our table at Disney
Unbearable heat at CEC but watching Baby Girl have fun- The heat of July in FL but watching Baby Girl have the time of her life in Disney!!

Hi Netta! Just finding your PTR, and it your plans sound great! You and your family are too cute! You guys are going to have such a fun trip. Your daughter will be so excited! I sometimes wish I had a little girl to share all of the Disney girly stuff with, because I have two boys. They are less than uninterested in princesses and Fantasyland. I do have a little niece that I hope to be able to steal away for a visit one of these days, when she gets older.

I'll be reading along, as you plan away.

Hi Netta!! Hopping on over since we are both going in July!!!

 

[lexmas]

Okay, just got all caught up...girl, you had a busy weekend!! That was a very cool GAD project, but thank goodness you had tinted windows!! A gf and I worked at a summer camp together, one year on our day off we went and got a bunch of steamers (clams). She wanted the shells for crafts..we get back to the camp, forget ALLLLLLL about the shells in the hatchback..and can I just tell you how awful the smell was when we remembered them 3 days later ?!?!?!!!!! It was stench-a-rific!

There were a ton of characters at DHS when we were there, it was like hitting the character lotto...Queen of Hearts, Chip & Dale, Incredibles, Rafiki..etc etc, all in the World of Animation, so make sure you hit it! Also, characters Piper would never have admitted to wanting an autograph from..ie, Buzz and Woody, as soon as she saw them in the storefront window, she had to have them! She definitely had character fever, and she's 8!!

That list is too fun! I love those pictures. I never bother buying photopass, but maybe I'll dabble in it this time! I didn't realize there were so many different ones!

Hi, thought I would share. In March while I was there, Prince Naveen and Princess Tiana had a gazebo built for them in the Magic Kingdom and appear there daily. It is sort of behind the Christmas Shop near where the walkways to Liberty Square, Frontierland and Adventureland join.
