Well, 5 more sleeps until we're off to Orlando (actually it's 4 days, 19 hours until our plane takes off, not that we're counting )

Still way too much to do before we leave ... I have a feeling we'll be like Mac - still packing the evening before we leave One of these trips we'll get our act together and have everything packed a few days before we leave.

later gatorsi'm waiting for nail polish to dry & a movie to download while i still throw crap in suitcases. As long as it's done by 5 am tomorrow i'm good to go.

Well my sweet little DS hurt his foot/ankle yesterday in PE. I had to go get him out early from school. I took him to the DR today and he has two growth plate injuries, one at the ankle and one on the top of his foot. He will be in a boot for 3 weeks.

....ready for the weekend!

Take lots of pictures, everyone! (those lucky ducky homies in Orlando)

Owie, poor kid.... do they know yet whether it was bad enough to effect his growth? Hope not!

Well.......we`ve booked our flights for next year...YAY..... DH suddenly said today........let`s just get the flights booked and paid for........I was on the phone to Virgin Atlantic before he finished his sentence

HAPPY does not begin to describe how I feel when I know we`re coming back. A 285 day countdown till July 11th and we`re staying at RPR for 17 nights........soooooo excited!!!!!

I have never in my life been on a vacation for 17 days. I don't know if it would kill me or make me want to stay away from home forever.

Well the weather looks AWESOME for next week so I have just finished the last mission! MNSSHP tickets are BOUGHT and printed!!

Can't wait for the kids to be old enough to go to HHN.

If that's going to be a few years, you might want to consider hiring a licensed, insured babysitter so you and DH can have a date night. Are you staying onsite? The services that Disney refers also work at any of the other Orlando resorts. It's a little expensive, but we've had GREAT experiences with them. If you want the phone number, PM me. We've used them on five of our trips and plan to use them again next year.

Had to get our heater repaired this week because when we turned it on...nothing happened! Not a good thing in Green Bay.

When I drove by the Hardware Store today in town they had a big sign up that said "Unfortunately snow blowers are in stock"!

As much as I don't like the heat and humidity of the South, I'm SOOOOOOO not missing hard winters!

WOW!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! This is probably old news to everyone else, but how thrilling! Can I be in your family?

I always have plans to be ready early, too. Never works out. Our next trip this year is with kids AND dogs, which means I'll be twice as frazzled getting ready. Good thing we can all sleep in a little on trips.

Yes! Because perfect nails before a trip are far more important than resting up for the trip. Especially since you can sleep on the plane. My husband shakes his head about getting the toenails beautified before I step out in the vacation sandals. A girl's gotta have her bare nails dressed up, too.


ANDY - Hope the sinuses stay clear, happy flying!

Eeewww, I just did one of my pet peeves - "effect" should be "affect".

I don't care about anyone else's spelling.

hope those nails are dry

I have never in my life been on a vacation for 17 days. I don't know if it would kill me or make me want to stay away from home forever.

actually, our annual summer vacation is a minimum 14 days (more 17/18 tho) and it wouldn't kill you...but, I will say this...you ARE ready to come home by then. Sometimes after only a week, you aren't ready to go home, you feel like you just got unwound. Not with that long...it's nice to be away and you enjoy it, but you are ready to head home. Back to home cookin and routines.... Well, at least I am anyway

bye Andy...have a really fun time!

Thanks both of you!! My sinuses finally cleared up Thursday and Friday, so I'm good to go!!!

My trips have only been a week long so far, since that's all I could get off from work. I'm a bit nervous this time since I'll be gone about 12 days (leave later today, get back early on the 12th). Crossing my fingers nothing goes wrong at work, or with my puppy. Frank's going to pay to kennel him all this week (I'm not happy about it), but he insists Draco needs it to be able to play with other puppies (Frank's dog doesn't like Draco). I just think he's being lazy and doesn't want to walk both dogs every day. Oh well.

Leaving here in a few (got to park my car at the Parking Spot then shuttle to the airport. I love that I get free parking there). See ya laterz!!!

 

[tink1957]

Have a great trip Andy, mac, Janet, Mel, etc. etc. etc.....

 

[Melanie230]

Thanks Tink!!! Heading out tomorrow night via AMTRAK!!! SO EXCITED!!!

A couple of pics from DD's Homecoming Dance last night.

 

[minniejack]

tink your daughter looks beautiful--love her dress and love the girl with boots--what a rebel

Believe it or not, I just looked at pics from the HC tonight...I still have the entire year on my camera starting from HC last year to be developed--do I want to say kaching when I get the bill when I finally develop???

I have the past four years of dances on that card and can't believe how many hair colors DD has gone through. This year she went from blonde to brunette the day before the dance--her dad isn't exactly happy, but it really makes her eyes really green.

I'll post some pics when I get a chance...

We spent a shivery, wet, freezing afternoon at a WVU game yesterday. At least I had a rain coat on for that. Earlier in the day, I worked a cross country meet and didn't realize it was supposed to rain--3 miserable wet hours in the cold rain (Realfeel 43 degrees--brrrr). When the WALKING middle schoolers went by, I was telling them to run so that they'd get warm. I really wanted to strangle them by saying you idiots, run so I can go get warm...

 

[schumigirl]

Tink.....You have a very beautiful daughter.......they all look so happy in that picture.....and yes I love the cowboy boots too, very original


Our "heatwave" has gone. Very strong winds even though it`s not cold yet we are supposed to get snow next week That is just not right....far too early. And we are not able to cope in this country with heavy snow.

Hope everyone thats on their trip are having a blast....I`m so jealous!!!

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Well, 2 more sleeps and we're off to Orlando ...

Been following Rapstar's adventures on FB ... he met up with Mac last night for Illuminations ... hopefully we'll have a chance to meet up with them too while we're down.

Thanks, minnie. You sound like me. I have over a year in pictures on one memory card and now I have another memory card, that was started this summer. I feel like I am never going to get caught up on pictures.

Thanks. We are finally having cooler temps. Highs in the low 80s. Lows in the 50s Hope it sticks around awhile. I can't even imagine snow. Only seen it a few times in my whole life.
I am jealous too, I need a vacay, so bad.

Hope you have a great trip Bonnie. Tell everyone we said "Hi!"

 

[macraven]

I am here. Having a hard time using my iPad. And the wifi in my room at rph is running ssssllloowwwwwwwww. Park was empty today. And it was gREAT

 

[macraven]

Hey Robert and Carole, the room is as nice as alwya.

I lookers all other the room to see if u hid any notes for me

I gave your best to our friend. He asked for me to tell you hi.

It took me 37 minutes to get connected foreign in this room.

I had to have SS connect me to the company that provides Internet to Loews.
Only issue will be is knave to repeat that process every 3days.
But, that ia so much better than sighing the lobby in my jammies......
