Just had to pop in and share my good news.My vacation got approved!!!

I promptly got online and booked 3 nights in a suite at the Holiday Inn across from Universal (I had already booked 1 night at RPR as that was all I could get) So now it's offical...I'm headed back to the darkside for New Year's Eve Dec 29 - Jan 2. I'm so excited I can't stand it.

i just read your post on the date and rate thread.
you are going to have a lot of fun.

You'll have at least 2 days of using the express line for free.

tonight is when we get to sleep one hour longer.

well, in my case that won't be the case but i'm sure the rest of you will enjoy that extra hour of snoozing.


other than the time change, i have nothing of importance to say.
I'm becoming jerry all over again........

Got alot of thinking to do for the next two months plus talking DW into it
cause we can either stay onsite next year for a week or we can stay offsite and be in Orlando for two weeks

... just thought I'd share pics of my birthday present to myself ... it's the Dooney & Bourke Disney 40th Anniversary letter carrier bag

There are people who would kill for that bag. You always get the CUTEST bags. How are those fabulous camera totes holding up?

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great way to bring in the New Year!

Lawrence, I agree with Mac.
Or have you considered splitting the difference and spending four or five days
onsite and five off to do things outside of UO/IoA?

It doesn't have to be all or nothing, does it?

His teeth need some work. I'm not volunteering....


Keisha, I'm with you on the whole stupid daylight savings thing. Fall is great, but spring is useless torture. And who decided that moving the dates closer together is a great way to faze daylight savings out? JUST GET RID OF IT FOREVER AND WE NEVER HAVE TO ADJUST AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless we're traveling, and then the fun makes it okay.


I miss my dog Roo. She's spending the next five weeks with my dear marathon running friend to get ready for a big show in December. That running stuff gives me terrible shin splints.

Is it from American Werewolf in London prop??

... no we actually had it shipped from LA ... the guy who made it is a friend of Lee's and he works out in LA - he just finished working on Predator and Men in Black III (oops don't know if I should have mentioned that )

There are people who would kill for that bag.

I know ... I've been reading ... some of those people are very very picky about the placement of things on their bags

Love it!!!!

Is it from American Werewolf in London prop??

Yep ... it goes with all his other American Werewolf in London stuff ...

No its not a all or nothing deal
Just wanted to spend a little more time in Orlando but I think we will take Mac's advise and just spend a week onsite

Hey all!! Busy busy busy here. We open next Thursday so we've been dancing, singing and acting our bottoms off at rehearsal. It seems like it will be good but we still got work to do. I'm off this weekend so hopefully I can rest up and do another update on my TR. That is, if I can keep myself from playing Epic Mickey on the Wii Frank bought me! :

 

[schumigirl]

Hey.......

Bonny.......that beast is fantastic....looks so good........well you know what I mean Very scary!!!

Lawrence........I too would go for the week.....I remember you saying how much you and DW loved RPR

Andy........Good luck with the show.....I`m sure it`ll go well. I need to catch up on your trippie now I`m back



Finally made it back from Scotland. Was supposed to be back on the 28th Oct, but my mum took ill the day I was supposed to be leaving. We had such a lovely week together as well, but turns out it`s her gallbladder!!!!

Had to call an ambulance, thankfully one of my brothers and my BiL were close by also. Ambulance arrived in just a few minutes, but it was so scary seeing her in so much pain and being helpless. So got her to hospital and she was in for nearly a week. She`s home and ok now and has to go back to get it removed.

She eats so healthily (not like me at all) she`s a little woman about 125lbs, who never eats fat or anything junk so goodness knows how she ended up with gallbladder trouble. I had mine out in 03, so I knew how much pain she was in. Horrible to see, but hospital soon made her comfortable. I will go back up when she gets the op done. Both my brothers and my sister live close by her, but they have their own things to deal with so at least if I go up she will have someone actually staying with her when she gets home.

But while I was away........my lovely DS passed his driving test

So happy for him, and he was so pleased he passed first time. Now comes the insurance, not for the main family car....... but to put him on my car`s insurance Do these companies just pick numbers out of a lucky bag and turn them into pound signs!!!!!! Scary!!!! He`s 18 in January so it will drop a bit then....hopefully.

Getting really cold here now. We usually get what New York/Chicago area gets a few weeks after they get it.........do NOT want what they had........that snow looked awful!!! Our clocks went back on the 29th Oct, so dark mornings.....darker evenings now. Winter has arrived.........

Hope everyone`s well

Hello homies.............

it is so good to come on here and read what has been happening with all of youse.


Carole, that is real scary to see you mom like that in pain.
prayers that she will have better health and little pain once she undergoes the surgery.


what is even more scary is to have a kid driving.
well, the scarier part is the cost of the insurance.
when we had 3 teens on our policy, it cost us an arm and a leg.
think $2800 more a year.

with the company we have car insurance with, the rate goes down when they are 26.
ours did not drop when they were 18 or 21.
none had accidents while they were on our policy.
we still have one son on the car insurance.
he needs the car in order to get to job interviews.
