I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it?!

Nope..fun!! Since all I usually wear is sweats , t shirts and, any pants with elastic! Its nice looking at decent clothes for a change!!

Katt: I`m confuzzled about your plans. last I knew you were going down alone and sharing a room with Li, then I read somewhere that KC is going too. and then your planning time for your solo days. Help a girl out and un-confuzzle me..

I'm going alone for 3 nights, then meeting up with Z...

KC is going to Miami when I am alone (to see our friend Ricky) and then Ricky & KC and a few other friends are driving to a timeshare Ricky's parents have in Orlando, where we will all meet up again. When I check out of Disney I am staying with the guys for a few days before going home.


Make sense????

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

You said "wiener breath"!! I'm sorry T!

Actually I said "Wiener teeth" but I suppose "wierner breath" and "wiener teeth" go hand in hand.

I'm flabby crabby. Or is that crabby flabby?

Hey Janet I am a chubby wubby too, why do you thing I am spending so much time on the treadmill these days.

T - sorry wienie teeth I'll have the camera ready!

V - nice score on the non skirted suits. As for my suits non having flounce, believe I have enough junk in my trunk that they will flounce!

Z - your plan has my head spinning but sounds fun!

I found the perfect card for Kelly today, it has the Cindy, SW, SB and Belle. It says something about turning 8 on the front. I figure I will write something like.... Hi Kelly, we hear you are turning 8 years old. We would love for you to come visit us in Disney World with AUnt Mo to celebrate. We have made a reservation for you and Aunt Mo for 8 nights in August.

Im not a writer so any input would be appreciated.

So you all heard about the new charge for a second bag by the airlines, but the DoT annouced if you bought your tix before the change they can't charge you. So I'm like I'm golden ( I like to check the 2nd bag coming home, but I like to carry on going there with extra clothes, etc if the checked bag gets lost) Well, I just read on the DVC boards that WDW airline check in won't accept the 2nd bag, you are SOL.


I just got my big bag out and packed almost everything to see if it will fit and then just take a smallish carryon and risk it. Since I also read that your carryon must fit handle facing out in the overhead now, which mine doesn't )

Good news, it looks like my stiff will fit in the one big bag and since I have 1 brdm for the last 5 nights I can easliy do laundry. Now to figure out what bag for Kelly, have to see what her parents have otherwise I might borrow something from Murph.

(And yes I unpacked most of the stuff when I was done)

OMG, I knew you were from Jersey, but didn't think you carried bodies around!

Sorry, dear. I couldn't resist.

Whoops!

BT/DT - Target sells a small, rolling carry-on in a bunhc fo flourescent colors - they fit!

Um, that is what would be referred to as a typo

OOPS!

Those aren't allowed...don't you know that

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As V said Target has some nice rolling carryons and they are fairly inexpensive. The one here actually had one that was LIME green. I was thisclose to buying it, but talked myself out of it becasuewe have enough suitcases, duffles, etc.

So I went shorts shopping yesterday I must have tried on 27 pairs of bottoms in assorted lengths, shapes, and sizes. I came home with two. Two won't cut it...any suggestions?

Now I know why at one point in my life I had over 100 pairs of shoes. They are more fun to buy.

Lands End! I found my most favorite pair of shorts EVER there recently:

Weekend Chinos

WHY I love them:

1. Super lightweight, soft cotton = cool and comfy in the heat.
2. Adjustable waist - there are two buttons on each side so you can customize the fit of the waist. No gaps!
3. Ample room for the "junk."

I'm so pleased with them, I'm ordering more this week!

ETA: Oh, and I frequnetly find free shipping codes for Lands End on the Budget Board.

This whole bag check payment thing is making me cranky. I was planning on trying to fit everything into a carry on anyways (just for me) because it would just be easier for me than trying to lug a bigger bag alone with my bad back (KC usually lugs them) but what if it all doesn't fit!? URGH! You can still have 2 carry on pieces right? I was going to pack KCs stuff in a duffle bag because he wont care about how his stuff looks when he gets there. LOL.

I too am trying to find some more shorts! So annoying. Shoes and purses are so much nicer to you!

I am off to return some capri's I bought online. LOL.

Thanks, V. I'll look into them. Of course, after yesterday I feel like I'm less "junk" and more landfill.

Now, that's funny. Reminds me of the movie "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag"

I have to second that - I bought a pair around 7 years ago, and they are still my favorite shorts. They still look good, too! You'd never know how old they are. Oh, you can also get coupons at couponcabin(dot)com.

So who is the keeper of the Focker Fest Itineraries now???

I think Jo volunteered to put them together and then send them out to each of us before she left in August.

Yep..., although I don't think volunteered...more like comandeered

I got 2 pairs at Chicos, very lightweight, quick drying. I got them in black and a dark yellow, light goldish color.

Yes you cant still take 2, one for the overhead and one under the seat. I know in the past they were never strict, but supposedly they are getting stricter as people are trying to avoid the second bag charge. UGH first the terrorists made packing more difficult now the oil companies
