Loved the Trip Report C.E. & aren't family Portraits Fun!!!! Don't throw Rocks..seems like a Reasonable request...

Great Job..But I would have woken DM up...If it were Me I mean!!!

Same as you All Star Sports from 15th to the 22nd. No pretrippie, though. At least not yet. Maybe if I have enough time between now and then, but I really don't have my days planned out yet. I just know where my ADRs are and I'm trying to plan around them.

I thought of DM quite a lot as I drove past her exit at 3:15 this morning, but decided she'd be just as happy that I didn't try to arrange a DIS meet...

Was this 3:15 am today or yesterday? I was up yesterday at that time. Seems like I'm always up during the night for a bathroom break. I drink way too much before I go to bed! I would've met up with your clan but I don't think the rest of the family (either of ours) would have been too happy...

Plus, I never gave you my phone number...nyah nyah!

No pressure...maybe you can just start one and put your itinerary on there once you have it planned. That way I'll know where to look for you. lol

That's so cool you're staying at the AS Sports! You get one more day than me...lucky! I see you are a MOM....so how many kids do you have?

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I see you are a MOM....so how many kids do you have?

3 kids, 4 if you count my DH (no, not my dear husband - he's my dorky husband ). They're 14 , 9 , and 7 .

I think the photos could have gone better if the photographer had been a little more, um... nice! Oh well. And yes, I can't believe that at the very least, the mom didn't say, "He can't tell you what to do, but I say 'Don't throw rocks!'" She's a little nutty though.

Maybe I should have at least stopped at DM's for a potty break!

Yesterday! Wow! I could have just driven slowly down the streets, yelling "DM, HEY DM!!" But, you're right, we needed to continue driving, and I doubt any of your family would have loved it.

Hi all just checking in. I think I need to change my title to something in the way of Official TFW Onlooker Extraordinaire In Charge of Lurkers and looky Lou's. It seems I read laugh and then move on. I so wish I felt witty all the time but truth is I am more of a Focker onlooker. So if we have an official title approver could he/she o.k. this title and would Lou's have the ' in it?

You can self appoint yourself a new title everyday if you want! But, I will be in Destin, FL from 8/9-8/18 and TFW will need a temporary leader! (Official Focker Lurker?? Are you trying to get the lurkers to come out and play? Maybe you are a Future Focker Welcomer? We gotta consult our overseas ambassadors on the Lou thing--I think it means toilet over there or something.

Oh yes I will need a consultation because I sure do not want to be in charge of toilet looking. There are just some things you can't look at for to long. As soon as I get the official word on Lou's I will do a title change and hope someone steps up as temp. leader. Who wants the title-any takers? Lets face it your roll is just a hard one to fill.

I just need a small vent...

As you may recall, we are having our kitchen remodeled. We had heard before we went on our driving trip that it would most likely start on 8/9. I called yesterday to see if that was still good, and the "kitchen lady" at first said 8/13, but then said, no, 8/9. Fine. I got plastic totes and have packed up all non-essentials out of my cabinets.

She called this morning to ask if we could be ready by Monday! Sure... A little more panic, but doable.

So, I got into my lower corner cabinets this morning to dig the end stuff out (this cabinet is one of the things I'm most excited to replace. It's just an extremely deep cabinet with no lazy susan or access to the back.) That's when I notice the 2" PVC pipe running along the wall.

This is bad, because it comes from the sink and will interfere with the lazy susan and the pull-out pantry cabinet that are supposed to go into this space.

I hurriedly call the kitchen lady, who is calling a plumber to come and see if it can be moved, if he can come before Monday, etc.

I'm sure it will cost plenty, but the most upsetting thing is that it's there in the first place. NOTHING is easy in this house. When D. redid the upstairs bathroom by himself 4 years ago, we ran into these kind of weird problems all over. They had run the hot water heat pipe through the tub, for example, and we had to have it moved to the studs... I don't know who built this house, but I'd like to meet him in a dark alley some night. None of the original light fixtures were grounded (?), the light switches in the bedrooms all work outlets that are in places you can't have lamps (and no overhead fixtures installed), etc., etc. Simple jobs just never turn out to be simple, and even this kitchen, which we knew wouldn't be "simple" is more complex than it should be... Sigh.

Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest, and I felt that I might get a sympathetic ear or two here.

That stinks! I'm sorry to have to deal with all of that. Maybe this will make you feel better.......When we lived in a rental house, we had to throw away our fridge after hurricane Katrina, and we bought a new fridge..a side by side...got a GREAT deal on it. AND come to find out it wouldn't fit in the spot for the fridge! Let's just say we had to do something that is probably illegal..... but fixed it(well, not perfectly...hehe) when we moved out. I guess I'm just trying to say I kinda sorta know the feeling. Good luck with your "not so simple" job.
