Welcome M&N!
I made a big pot of chili today ... great food for cold weather.
Not as fun as a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, but yummy still.
Beans, beans, the musical fruit...
So, I'm wondering if husbands really realize the impact of their words on their wives when it comes to Disney promises....
Today DH came grocery shopping with me. Since I don't live near anything, it's a chance to take a nice ride and chat. We got to talking about his job, the money he makes, the benefits, etc., and the fact that next year he gets three weeks of vacation time! (one of the perks of sticking with a job for a while) And since the topic of Disney is never really that much of a tangent off anything we discuss (I have the ability to tie it in to almost any conversation!), we started talking about the trip I'm planning for next year. He knows I'm serious when I say I'm putting money away and already planning it in my head, and he gives me free rein to do so.
So HE says, "You know, if I'm still at this job, let's go for 10 days next time."
It has been said!! The words have audibly come forth from his mouth!! There ain't no way in God's green earth I'm lettin' THIS go!!!
WOO-TASTIC!!!!!!!!
10 days at WDW! Sounds like a dream come true. I may get to go often, but it's always short trips. 10 days in a row would be so nice.
), sometimes two or three at a resort. DD and I are planning a 6 day trip next year with my MIL.
For anyone who is intrested, here are the two posts I made about our trip to Salem/Boston/Concord/York, ME. The first post is from while we were there. I just don't feel like retyping and reformating everything!
This is from when we got back:
I finally got the pictures sorted, but haven't uploaded any other than to Walgreens to print. I printed 212 today. There are 200+ more to print. We had a total of 1360+ pictures.
"Leaf peepers" they're called...10 days at WDW! Sounds like a dream come true. I may get to go often, but it's always short trips. 10 days in a row would be so nice.
Will your DH still be at this job when you move to Florida?
BUT, the trade-off is that we will have a 10-day trip to the World! Once in Florida I'm sure we'll be like you - more frequent but shorter trips.
how are the portions? things always look bigger on t.v.. what about taste?
well saidMine is sparkly red with black Mickey heads all over it, and full to the brim with pixie dust. And if you put your ear to it and listen carefully, you can hear...Rope Drop Music!!!
((( sounds pretty)))
Once opened, it's impossible to close.
ssst: i'm invisible, not sure why
). i was bad. i just devoured a whole bag of opcorn:
Where in PA are you? I'm near Harrisburg.
It pays to ask for what you want!! I used to be the type of person to not push things or make waves, just go with the flow. But I have learned well from my DS who always pushes back and never goes with the flow. 
We got a good chuckle out of the story, but more than that it was such a lesson for me. From then on out, I started asking for stuff even when I don't think I'll get it. The only thing that can happen is that I get a NO.
But, I do keep thinking of that next trip and it keeps me going!
And isn't it funny how the Tag Fairy picked "I need to go with my gut on this one" as one of my tags since that statement was in reference to taking the job on third? Thanks again, Tag Fairy!
Congrats on the raise. I hope it's more than enough to help send you back to WDW!
Ok, I was on the Dis. But it was important to me. DD came up and laid a baby doll in my lap. She walked away, laid a bed for the baby on my lap. Then wondered away again. At this point, I stopped paying attention. I just kept saying "Thank you" after each thing she handed me. My lap got full and a bunch of the stuff landed on the floor. When I was done, I grabbed what was in my lap and walked off to put it away. That's when I realized all that was left in my lap was a diaper... a very wet one my DD had got out of the garbage. I had been sitting there with this in my lap while I typed away happily on the Dis. I guess my DD decided the dolls needed to go to bed and have a diaper change. I'm just glad I put the nasty diapers in a diaper pail, or I would have been in real trouble. 
all my formerly-tagless friends here and now I feel better. 
I have a fun toddler story to share with you. Ok, not so much fun, as funny. My 18 month old is obsessed with baby dolls. She likes to gather all the dolls in the house and hand them to me. Last night, I was doing important work on the computer.
He said "Ewwww" I said come here and let me change that daiper. He didn't move, I said come here again, still no movement. So I go over to him (he is sitting up in the bed) and I see his hands are covered in you know what. Then I realize that there is a huge pile in the bed, then to my surprise, I realize that he has taken the diaper off and pooped right there in the bed. 
He is in the process of potty training, and he pretty much has #1 down, but #2, I don't think has ever made it in the potty.Hi all!!
SmileyBug -- I hope life calms down for you soon... I'm glad you were able to stop in and say hi!
DeterminedOne -- That is AWESOME about the raise!! Congrats!!!
LegoMom3 -- Thinking of that next trip is what usually keeps me going, too.
Mean Queen -- Your story almost made me spit coffee on my monitor. I just keep picturing you sitting there with an icky diaper in your lap!
M&N -- Welcome to our little party!!
I'm sitting here feeling kinda sad because nobody at work seems to have remembered my birthday, so I had to come
Hope everyone has a great day!!!
