Wow... I never seen so many (or any) spam posts in the Dis before... There were a bunch of them posted this morning... I hope, now that they have found us, this doesnt become a normal thing. It's easy enough to scroll past them, but still.
SWEET!!!! Paid OFF!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO So happy for you! the shoes are awesome.., you'll really be showing your Donald Side! LOL!
then creepy dude dance
Hahaha.... Yah - I'll be showing my Donald side! WHOOT!
Yay for paid in full!!!!!!! I can't do the creepy dude dance bc I'm on my phone, but I'm dancing in my head!
Sooooo glad you like the shoes! You have NO idea!
Hahaha... Thanks! Yup - LOVE the shoes, cannot wait to start breaking them in once they come back.
Woohoo!!! Happy dancin' for a paid off trip!!
How stinking cute is that Nemo bag! Love the seagull and zipper pull.
Thanks Cindy!
Congrats to Alli on her first job, is she at Starbucks in a Target store? If so that is the most evil combination they have ever made. Get people all hopped up on coffee and let them out shopping in Target... just evil I tell ya!
Hahaha... Yes it is.
I wanna be added to the Dismeet list! Pick the time and place and i'll be there!
Also (I known you don't know me from anything) if you all need a grocery run, supplies while in Orlando I will be happy to help.
That is a very impressive stack of gift cards!
Do you have APs Cindy?
Thanks - I will let you know... I think BFF is shipping Mountain Dew to the resort... She can't live with out it.
Dear me - I need to watch the weather channel every once in a while. I just read about the Deracho that swept over all y'all up there. Hoping everyone survived (Mo - is Chicago still flooded?)
Paid Up!! What a fabulous feeling!!
T has never had the opportunity to swim, so we don't know what he'd do. He does love the towel-off part of bathtime. And he got a cookie, so that was all good too.
Hope everyone's week is going well.
I never watch the weather or the news... I'd rather live in my own delusional world.

But I agree - I hope everyone is well.
Hahaha - that is too cute about T.
I also hope you are having a great week!
Hey Miss D - I wanted to share in your PAID IN FULL happy dance
I love the Disney magic you are spreading - it helps fill that need for Disney any time and all the time!! And love, love, love the Nemo bag. I still have a soft spot for Cheshire cat bag.
Thanks Carol! It's great to see you here.
I re-sent my PM - you probably missed it before as I wrote you when you were full steam into your bags and auction. Just whenever you have a free moment (ha, ha).
Thank you, I still have not had a chance to read it... Well, I read it - but I have not had a chance to respond to it. Despite my auctions being over, my plate is still really full... I wish I could tell you when we are leaving, so you knew just how full it is... but August is coming quickly, and I still have 8.5 bags to make - and we will be at the lake for a week of it...

No rest for the weary, I guess.
Your daughters are just so darn beautiful, inside and out. I love that V shares a hobby with you. That is so good for both of you.
Thank you very much... I love that we share that too. We have so much fun together.
If I don't have time to post before you leave for the lake, wishing you a wonderful, relaxing time.
As always, hugs and prayers for you and your family! Carol
Thank you Carol - I hope you have a wonderful 4th!
I'm glad Alli had a first good day at her job.
for a fun DIS meet.
And for being paid off in full.
Thanks Kathy - me too. I hope you are doing well... How is Mark doing? And your Mom - you've been on my mind a lot.
That's great your paid in full. That's always a great feeling.
Yes, I love being paid in full!!!
Ok, so it's been a while for me since I've been here too. I just don't get to the good ole' DIS very often any longer unless I am trying to answer some questions. This week it was: Port Orleans Riverside or Shades of Green? I still don't have an answer for myself...but POR is booked for us for our short September trip. Food and Wine and MNSSHP here we come!
Congrats on getting your trip paid off and that's awesome that you were able to do it with your 10 bags!
So as I recall you weren't posting your trip dates for security reasons, which is certainly understandable. I want to say it is EITHER summer or fall though, but I don't think it's September so I don't think there's a chance for a DISmeet with me and my crazy crew!
Anyway I try to at least glance over the post lists when they come through my email subscription, even if I don't get over here to post myself much anymore!
Well hello there! It's great to see you!
We did stay at SoG for our trip in 2008, it's a very nice resort. Have they fixed their restaurant issues yet? I would consider staying there again if they have. I know they are doing lots of pool refurb... I should look to see if thats done yet too.
Nope, our trip is not in September at all. Sorry. I would have loved to meet you. We will be there sometime in August, but that is the only info I have given out.
I am glad to hear you are well and just busy.
That is amazing!!! I have zero dismeets under my belt lol.
Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards
Hahaha... Well, I love doing them. I have met some great people that way.
I just read about the death of your uncle. I am truly sorry. My thoughts are with you and the rest of his family. *Many hugs*
Congrats on officially getting your trip paid off!
That is AWESOME!
Good luck getting all your tasks done. I know you will - I just hope you don't collapse in the process!
I am so proud of the girls getting jobs. Good for them! I hope they enjoy them.
Thank you! It was very sad. They did a nice little memorium to him in one of the hometown papers last week, so that was nice to see. It was put in there by his employer.
Thanks - I enjoy being paid off - it's such a relief!
Hahaha... Me too.
Thanks - I am proud of them too.
It's great to see you back... You've been on my mind. HOw is your DH doing after the accident?
**********************************************************
Well...
I worked in my sewing room yesterday. I was able to quilt one of my park bags (most of it - I am still waiting for one more fabric to come in the mail). And since I am waiting on that last fabric, I am assembling this bag a little backwards from what I normally do. Thankfully, none of my park bags for this trip will have any applique work on them, so they are pretty easy. I was able to get a zippered pocket inserted into the front of this bag, and I also built the entire interior. So, now I just need to wait for that other fabric to get here, so I can finish it off. Which won't happen until after we get back form the lake.
Sadly, V and I didn't touch my 'Ohaha bag at all. She slept in, and then BFF wanted her to come up while Olivia is gone to her Dad's and help organize her livingroom. So, BFF came down and took V and Lottie up to her house.
Lottie is doing well, BTW... She is a bit of maintenance work. V really has to stay on top of keeping her cage clean, because she does make a mess and it isn't pleasant. But I am very proud of her, she is very good about doing it every day.

Lottie's personality is "pissy"... She cuddles, but not until she has hissed at you and puffed up sufficiently.

And cuddling = sleeping. LOL
Yesterday afternoon, I went to get my hair cut. Nothing major, just a clean up. It was now, or wait until our trip... And I knew I couldn't wait that long. So, it's nice to have it fresh for the lake.
My back seems to be doing better, I am babying it as much as possible still. I've resumed all of my lifting. I was up to squatting 65lbs before I wrenched it... So, then I gave up squatting for a week... Then I added squatting with no weight for a week... On Monday, I added 25lbs to my squats, and so far, no pain. I plan on bringing my weights up to the lake with me (25lbs being the heaviest I bring) and work on doing some lighter stuff while we are up there.

Then, when we come home - I will hit it again.
**********************************************************
Disney Trip stuff: I wish I could list out our FP stuff for you all, but I don't want to start that until after we get back from the lake. But I promise I will do it then.
Otherwise, yesterday morning, I began the packing process... I have 4 things on my list that I still need to buy... My shorter black bloomers, Toothpaste (smaller tube, but not travel size), a new pack of sponges to put some dishsoap into for washing our mugs, Hairspray... And I think that's it.
I was able to find our bag of trading pins, which I thought were missing. So, that's good. V had them, in case you were all wondering.
I have all of our headgear all packed and ready to go, just waiting on the last two to arrive.
I have all of our Pixie Twist accessories packed... Just waiting on the set I borrowed to Suzi for her trip - (No hurry Suzi) just making it on the list.
I am very excited to start showing you all my outfits, I can hardly contain myself. As soon as I finish this bag I am working on, I will be able to show you the first one.

I am very excited about it... Although - it's a bit over the top, even for me. LOL I am only wearing it for our arrival MK day, so I don't want to put too much effort into it. It's bad enough I am making a bag to wear for only 8 hours...
**********************************************************
I think that's all for today. I work at Target...
I hope you all have a great day! Prayers and good thoughts go out to all of you!
