He does not need too, I already won the contest.

We had to let DS know about the trip this weekend. He was inviting friends over for a pool party here at the house. I could just see us in the parks and all these kids on our door step.

how about a new .....

Hello everyone! My arms are going to be jello tomorrow and I still have more work to do. I am refinishing the kitchen cabinets - bye bye golden oak, hello expresso! It.is.a. pain. in. the .... It took a day to strip them, a couple of days to sand them and now a couple of days to sand and then another day to put on the poly coat. It already looks better though; so it's totally worth it, right?! My DH changed our trip dates from Sept to August; so on top of finishing cabinets, I'm also trying to book everything.

Shumi - I hope you get your crown fixed soon!

Bluer - I had visions of a house party complete with TP decorating the trees while you were away! I'm horrible with surprises, I get so excited, I NEED to spill! The only one I ever managed was having the limo pick them up from school to take us to the airport on our last trip to the darkside.

 

[macraven]

you changed your trip from sept to aug?

looks like your trip is gonna be here sooner than later!


since you are redoing your kitchen, does that mean you don't have to cook and just order out?


i love that part of remodeling a room.
less cooking and cleaning up the kitchen.....

 

[Niki Andiokno]

nothing like having a wet weekend and all the kids pinned up in the house.
the darkside commercials have been playing a lot in our area.
some in english, some in spanish.

this will be the longest 10 weeks of the year for you homie.
then you will be in the parks and having a blast!

It cracks me up every time I see the commercials in Spanish. They really are targeting the large hispanic population in Chicagoland.

Thanks everyone for your words of support. I love my family and friends very much, so I always want to help out. Sometimes I think I take on a bit too much. Who needs sleep? I can sleep in October while in Orlando.

Wait! Who am I fooling. I am too excited to sleep when I am in Orlando. Especially when I have so much Darkside and WDW to experience. We are taking our adult nephew with us this trip; and I always love showing first timers around.

Another busy week. Such a bummer it is so busy. My buddy I was talking about with colon cancer decided this afternoon, that it would be a good idea to up and go to Vegas for the rest of the week. I really wish I could go too. Just not in the cards. He will have a great time, though.

Schumi - I LOVE your pink. One of my client's accountants used to send stuff in yellow. I could never read it, especially the numbers. He should have gone pink too.

All of you who are doing I applaud you. I am so far behind on laundry, I really need your inspiration. But I wanna play on my free time.

Mac - Do you go to Great America since you are so close? I hope to go soon. My physical therapist cleared me. Yay!!

Cielei..........oh have fun with those cabinets........sounds like it'll be a big change when they're done

Mr Duck........I saw that elevator incident on our news yesterday


Crown still in this morning thankfully...........

Having quiet morning doing some laundry, then taking my son out for lunch and do some shopping......for him!

Beautiful sunny day here again

Another rainy day for us. When I walked the dog at 5:30 this morning, it was 70 and light rain. Ahhh, yes, we are starting that great humid summer our area is known for.

Yay! Another August traveler. And yes, I hate kitchen cleaning, so any excuse to order or eat out is a good one. I think I'd rather replace my cabinets than refinish them. More power to ya.

Schumi, have a great day with your DS. I have to get my DS a new bathing suit, but he is so picky, we got nothing last week-end. So I'm going to try this week-end. He's not a clothes shopper, though he would go out to lunch with me.

Happy Wednesday all! Three more days of packing kids' lunches.

I was picturing something a little different, lol.

Please post some photos of the kitchen. We are thinking of doing the same thing. The cabinets are solid and everything pretty much new is particle board. So we are thinking of refinish too. Besides its a lot cheaper.

Yay to DS. We have Keystone tests that if not passed, must be retaken over the summer. DS learned last year that retaking the test was not fun. Passed this year, so 11th grade starting in the fall it is.

Have a great time at the Darkside!

Mac - Dear Hubby decided that he would rather we go in August. He's letting me plan a couple of extra days too since it will be busier! Flights are booked, and we are going Aug 20-26!! I'm super excited! Now, I just need to decide which hotel book. My brother and his new wife are thinking about coming down and meeting up with us too which would be fun.

As long as the kitchen is a mess, we just have to get take out or eat out. This project could last a couple of days longer than I originally intended!

Lynne - when will y'all be there? The last day of school was last Thursday for us, and I am lucky both of my boys will wear pretty much whatever I buy them. They even like wearing suits and ties.

Shumi - glad your crown is still hanging in there! Have fun on that shopping trip!

Bluer - I'll post pictures when I am done - our cabinets were really good too which is why I decided to refinish them. We did pull out the old island replace it with a one that has the turned legs to make it look more like a furniture piece. We also replaced the counters with cambria and will be putting in under cabinet lighting (the new LED strip lighting is awesome compared to the old systems) and adding a glass tile backsplash. I like nice things; but I don't like praying with my money, so I do a lot of things myself.

Niki - hang in there! Sleep is overrated anyway.

Schumi, have a great day with your DS. I have to get my DS a new bathing suit, but he is so picky, we got nothing last week-end. So I'm going to try this week-end. He's not a clothes shopper, though he would go out to lunch with me.

We're not shoppers either........especially when it's as hot as it was today.......lots of places in this country have still to be introduced to air conditioning........or so it seems!!

But, we managed to get him quite a lot of stuff.......he is so easy to please......not fussy and hates designer labels. And we had a lovely lunch in a restaurant overlooking the sea it was beautiful.

Managed to pick myself up a few things too gonna need bigger closets

Hi Cielei, we will be in the Darkside August 19 to 23. Staying at the Portofino. We really like that hotel. If you would like to say hi when at the Darkside, a dismeet is good for us. We are easy going. Both my kids are ride fans. I people watch when they ride. Not a big coaster fan, but I enjoy both parks.

Ate at a really good Jewish diner near us. We brought home enough left over to feed us another meal. Huge portions. Stuffed right now.

Mac, I hate typing on my iPad.

Hi all. Rainy day here in Chicago. No too hot, though. I don't really mind the rain.

I am a bad kitchen cleaner, too. That is why I told DH we were going out to dinner tonight. Had a good meal at Maggiano's Little Italy. I have gone to the one in Orlando, too. I really like that place.

Cielie - Hope you got some good shopping done. I just can't imagine shopping for a picky person. You are surely a saint.

Nice to hear about everyone's upcoming plans. Do any of you post trip reports? I need to start looking at those.

DH and I were talking about joining the Landry's rewards club tonight. I know Yak n Yeti at DAK is part of it, as well as a few other Orlando restaurants. My buddy told me that you get discounts on Hard Rock Hotel, and that other Dark Side hotels were also Landry. Is this true? How could I have missed this? Are any of you members? Is it worth the fee?
