September '09, 22nd anniversary at Pop. FINAL THOUGHTS DECEMBER 3RD

[Villainess]

Interested in seeing your countdown as well - looking for some new ideas.

Here is the countdown calendar. Dallas wants to take it down and go to Home Depot and get the mouse heads............lol. I usually don't like to admit it, but I'm not very artistic...................

I told Dallas it was functional. He was suppose to help me decorate the pictures, but he decided he didn't want to and needless to say I haven't the time to decorate 60 pictures.

I think your countdown calendar is really cute! I can get artsy fartsy but it takes me a while to come up with an idea. Now my sister and my niece on the other hand are incredibly artistic. My sister has written craft books and my niece is an art student in Florida who, at the ripe old age of 22, has already had her art shown in New York and France.

Wow - NY and France art shows! That's amazing!


I like your countdown - very cute! I can't wait to get the kids helping me make the countdowns, although with my obsessive detailed ways, I will probably take over the project anyway.

Do two countdown calendars...one for you and one for them to copy off of you...this way you have their version--great keepsake...would be fun to see how they develop over the years for future trips (to wherever that may be)

Thanks Lisa. Dallas is still making fun of it . Tyler is very good at drawing things, but he doesn't like to get into the Disney stuff so much...... That is fantastic about your niece and your sister. I admire people who can take a blank canvas and paint a beautiful picture. It is an amazing talent.

Dallas is getting to the age that he isn't into helping with projects any more. Target had these little stained glass things where you put the beads in the little metal pattern and then bake it to melt the beads. Well, Dallas HAD to have it so we bought it. I ended up finishing it after he had filled ONE slot.....

I miss my kids being young enough to think that helping mom do something was fun. You will have a blast when your kids start helping out.

That is a very good idea Connie .

I have got to find him some projects for this upcoming school year. He loves dogs so I am going to do some research and see what things I can get for him along that line.

On Friday I went for a frantic email search for my ADRs. I had saved all my confirmation emails, but I had changed them so many times I wasn't sure which ones I had kept and which I had cancelled . Isn't that sad?. So I had to check all of them to see which ones were active. Just to keep up with myself this is the list of real ADRs

The Plaza Saturday Sept 26 at 7 pm

O'hana Sunday Sept 27 at 11:15 am

Crystal Palace Monday Sept 28 at 8:20 am

Grand Floridian Cafe Tues Sept 29 at 5:30 pm

Tusker House Wed Sept 30 at 8:25 am

Le Cellier Thursday Oct 1 at 11:40 am

Sci-Fi Friday Oct 2 at 11:10 am

So now I have to plan our days around this. I also have to decide which day we are doing MNSSHP.

I love your count down calender!! I need to do something like that myself. My DD has this app on her iTouch that keeps our countdown doing but it's hard for me to keep up, she always has it.

Your ADR's look great!! I am looking forward to that almost as much as the trip it's self. We have never been to 'Ohana or Le Cellier so that's going to be a treat for us.

Thank you! I wanted it to be different from our May countdown, but I did expect some help .

I am looking forward to the food too. Being on a diet gets so hard when planning all the good things to eat at Disney. We really liked Le Cellier so that is the main one I am looking forward too. We have never tried O'hana, Tusker House or The Grand Floridian Cafe. I don't know how Dale and Dallas are going to like O'hana or Tusker House, but I think Mom should get to chose a couple .

Isn't it great . We are eating breakfast at O'hana's because they didn't have any dinner slots open. I wanted the sticky wings .

Thanks Connie . It is funny but it seems the more I lose the bigger I think I look in the mirror . It does feel good to have the doctor say he is very happy with how my diet is coming.

Thank Desiree . It does feel good I will be so happy to reach my goal. I guess I need to start looking for some yard sales to find me some new clothes.........lol. I don't mind my jeans being loose, but I don't like for my shorts to be baggy. You can do it. It has only been 28 days and I lost the 10lbs so you can do it in 5 weeks.

Congrats on the weight loss! Kudos to you!

I've been meaning to ask how Dale is feeling? I know that he was having some medical problems.

Thanks Lisa. He is still having the dizzy spells, but thank God he hasn't had the chest pains. He has his appointment with the sleep lab doctor tomorrow, and I am hoping after he does the sleep study it solves his problems.
