Hey you guys, princesskelz got tagged!! I haven't seen her here in a bit, but she posted in a thread called "So, if you could catch the Tag Fairy...". She's got a really neat little princess graphic in there!!

I'm still holding out for a scrolling tag. :thumbsup2

Good for her! Anyone else notice it's just me, LegoMom and DeterminedOne in here now, with an occasional appearance by PaMom and a few others? We totally lost Little Blue and the others when we had to move threads. :confused:

We're taking off in the morning. I'm hoping to be able to check the boards though I don't think DVC is doing the free internet for members yet. I will probably be on again before I leave though.

Yep, I definitely noticed. Sad. :sad2:

Well, I still have fun here!!

I have been browsing Craigslist on and off today for rentals in the Ocala area. One word: drool....!

I think just for the first year I will splurge on APs that don't have black-out dates. After that I'll save some $$ and get the limited passes, but I know that while it's all still new we'll want to go anytime, like during the holidays to see the decorations and for Star Wars weekend (2 of my 3 boys are huge SW fans!).

Mean Queen, update us if you can! Otherwise we'll look forward to reading all about it when you get back!

Boy is it gonna be quiet here next week....

That's cool! :jumping1:

Hope she comes back to show it off!
 
Hi all. I've been gone a while due to vacation and then having to catch up on all the work I didn't do while on vacation. I see I still don't have tag, but that's okay because as of Friday I now have my Master's degree. :cool1: A tag would still be nice though! ;)
 

Welcome back and CONGRATS on the degree! That's super.

If you go find the thread on the CB called "So, if you could catch the Tag Fairy..." and start posting there, you might get lucky! The TF's been REAL busy there this week!

I still don't have my scrolling tag, but alas, I guess I can't complain...:rolleyes1

Well, someone has got to keep this thread alive this week, what with Mean Queen whoopin' it up at Disney and all... :rotfl:

So, DeterminedOne, if you post in the mornings, and I come in and post in the afternoons/evenings, we should manage to keep a conversation going! Donald's Shrink, feel free to jump in whenever you're here!

And for the love of Pete what happened to SmileyBug again?!!?? I swear girl you're as elusive as the Tag Fairy!

:eek: Maybe you ARE the Tag Fairy!... :eek:

Hey Smiley - A.K.A. Tag Fairy - hook us up with a scrolling tag.
 
Checking in live from Old Key West at WDW. We checked in yesterday, ate dinner at Kimono's at the Swan, then my friend, her DD, my DD, and I went to MK for late EMH. We got there just in time for the 9 pm parade. When the parade was done, we grabbed some cotton candy and noticed a new area to the hat shop. They now have a make your own Mickey ears area! The girls went nuts. You pick a beanie, then ears, design it with patches, and can put your name on it with felt patches or monogram. Each thing is a separate cost... including each ear. I'll take pictures and post them after the trip. We ended up staying at the park until 1 when we all pooped out. Unfortunately, the kids got up at 8 a.m.. It's overcast and we're just planning on relaxing and hitting Epcot for lunch. I was so hoping to sleep in.
 
I just read about the update to The Chapeau - that's so cool! I want to do that when we go.

Another crappy weather day here but tomorrow's heading for 60! I think that deserves a dancing banana: :banana: I'm very particular about my use of the dancing banana, you know! Not just anything is worthy of that icon in my book. Finally feeling like spring around here?....that's dancing banana material!!

DeterminedOne - what ever happened with your job situation? Has it been resolved?


.
 
Mean Queen - have fun for us, okay? Looking forward to your pics.

Lego Mom - the situation has been resolved but not amicably. I asked for $1200 in addition to what they offered and they refused. I think it's a case of the plant manager acting like a jerk -- but in any case their answer was no. I asked to be placed back in my old job (3rd shift) which is supposed to happen next week.

That stinks! It's going to be their loss not having you in that position. Hopefully you'll be happy in your old position still or they'll wisen up and give you the money.

DD2 had an all out fit last night. 2 days at WDW with very little sleep can do that to a kid. So we're back at the hotel for a long nap today (for all of us, though I'm here on the Dis.) Breakfast at Cinderella's castle was amazing. I thought the food was ok, everyone else seemed to love it. We got to see Cinderella when we came in, then Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, and Snow White came by for a visit. DD2 liked Cinderella but seemed more interested in the food when the other Princesses came to our tables.

Also, sorry to those of you with boys, but boys are gross. (granted, not all boys.) I'm waiting in line at Peter Pan's Flight. I look behind me and see a boy picking his nose. His mom yells at him to stop. Not 2 minutes later I feel a wipe on my back. I turn around, glare at the kid and start frantically wiping my back. He just gave me a clueless look like he didn't just wipe a booger on me! Since we still had a bit of a wait, I decided not to say anything, but I kept my eye on him the rest of the wait. I also kept rubbing my back on the wall in hopes of getting any possible booger remnants off.

So, there's my Disney World magic. :wizard:

Oh my gosh - that is gross!! You should have seen my face as I was reading this. My jaw kept dropping lower and lower... :scared1:

Dining at the castle makes me feel so grand. Especially when walking up the winding staircase. Hope you got some good pics.
:)
 
Mean Queen: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Ok, I'm sorry, I know it was disgusting (and I assure you my boys would never pull a stunt like that....they know my wrath!) but as a mom to boys who generally like gross stuff, I'm LMAO!!!!

If we ever meet up with you at WDW, I'll be sure to tell my boys "Now kids, when we're in line with Mrs. Mean Queen, make sure you don't touch her because she'll think you're gross!" :rotfl:


Well that's just my quick check-in this morning. I'll be back later and see what everyone's up to today!

Hey there. How's the weather?
 
Hey there. How's the weather?

Yesterday was upper 50s (felt very warm! :eek: ) but overcast and misty. Today is sunny but stuck at 40. Now, if we could get sunny and upper 50s...! We are so below normal for this time of year. Winter just won't let go.

Never mind we just had the propane tank filled....to the tune of $891!!!!!!!!!!!
4_2_100.gif
But this tank will last until October. Which is good because it will take that long to pay that bill....:headache:

I've got my alternate restaurants picked out in case we don't get Hoop-de-Doo. This is in anticipation of all the hubbub over Free Dining coming out next week. If it does, and if we can't get HDD because it's already full, we're going for dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern on arrival night, and breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe on the Friday. We had dinner ADRs at WCC last trip, but ended up canceling due to nobody wanting to leave the park that day - we were getting tired of all the back and forth.

Well that's my update for today! Might check in later.

$891 - holy cow! :scared1:

I hope you get in at HDD. It's such a fun show. But if you end up at LTT at least you will still be in the park.
:)

DH and I saw HDD way back in '96 (first and only trip pre-kids!) and we think the boys would love it. Here's hoping! I'd also love to time it so we can catch the Electrical Water Pageant the same night.

On our local weather last night, they said 60/sunny on Monday and 62/sunny on Tuesday! :woohoo: Maybe spring is finally springing! The Robins are starting to sing in the neighborhood, so that's a good sign. And my Goldfinches are turning bright yellow!

Spring? It's almost Summer here. Our WDW trip was nice, but we realized it's definitely getting warmer. We had made most of our plans for the day, but the kids just wanted to go back and swim. I guess it's already time to just go early morning and late evenings. Here's a little trip report, since it was a little trip. First, the pictures of the hats the girls made. The evil man about to splash them is my DH. :rotfl2:

On our second day, we went to Epcot. We had lunch at France then checked out some of the Flower & Garden exhibits. They have some nice play areas for kids. We did a lot of shopping at Mouse Gears. We only rode on Test Track and Spaceship Earth before going back to swim.

On Tuesday, we got up early for MK day. We managed to get there just before 9 so DH and DD's got to see the opening show for the first time. They really liked it. We then rushed to the barber shop. DD's friend had never had a hair cut and was going to get her hair cut for locks of love. Her mom thought it would be cool for her to have her first official hair cut at Disney. She and my DD also had their hair done there. The barber shop puts their hair in a ponty tail, covers it in colored gel and lots of glitter. It's very cute and much cheaper than BBB. The girls were wearing matching Sharpay from HSM outfits.

Then it was time for breakfast at the castle, or so we thought. We were too early. So we jumped on the carousel and Snow White's Scary Adventure before heading back to check in. We got our picture done with Cinderella then headed up the winding staircase for breakfast. The waitress brought us baskets of yummy pastries and fruit, then a plate full of eggs, bacon, sausage, stuffed french toast, and potato casserole. We all ate a lot. But my DD2 loved it the most. She paid no attention to the princesses, she was too busy eating. Snow White, Jasmine, Belle, and Aurora all stopped by our table. It was really a nice meal with a beautiful view.

We left and hit a few rides before going back so my DD2 could actually get a nap. After a 3 hour one, we headed to the Yacht club for dinner at the Captain's Grille. The food was very good, the desserts not so much.

On our last day, we hit DTD for lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express followed by a lot of shopping. My DD8 had saved most of her money to shop the last day. Even though we didn't do a lot, we were still exhausted.

We love our friends we go with, but they do not parent their son (11.) They let him climb on furniture then jump onto other furniture or the floor. I woke up one morning to find he had put the chairs on the counters. The dad says he thinks we're stifling creativity when we tell our children not to do things, like run at the pool. Argh. It was frustrating and exhausting. My friend and her DD are not like that, it's almost like 2 families.
 
Cool TR, Mean Queen! Thanks for sharing. Great pics too!

I'm just dropping in for my daily update. Except I really don't have anything to update! I have tomorrow off from work again. DH has the whole weekend off - woot woot! So we get to drop the kids off at the in-law's on Saturday night and go out to dinner, as well as have Sunday to ourselves! We're heading over to Vermont to a way cool antique place. Not sure what else but I'm sure we'll think of something!

Anyone else have weekend plans?
