Thank you for the tip!!! That will help the overall speed of it I'm sure as well. I'll definitely try this out!
I might add, I've gone to this when I'm using my mobile internet stick as well. Eats up far less bytes.

SO FUNNY! You were dancing and singing to all those? I LOVE IT!!! Pop does have the best music. I still remember from our '08 trip, we only stayed there one night, and took 2 bus rides, but I heard "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and was jamming out.
It's easy to do. POP is such a groovy kind of place!
Liesa, great update! You look so cute in your TK Tie-Dye! And DD to boot!

I've never actually tried their Latte, I'll have to change that.
I really liked the cut that TK chose for it. But too many of those DD lattes, and the curvy sort of cut it has might be filled out a little too roundisher.
I wish we had DD around here, but sadly the last one closed sometime while we were gone.
How very, very cute of the older brother telling his younger siblings all about Disney.
It was VERY cute, and made me all the more excited to be on my way, and almost there.
Happy New Year! We watched 3 movies and ate left overs - romantic evening with just the two of us!

We are the fuddiest duddies, but we are home safe!

We saw Date Night, Grown-Ups, and Prince of Persia.
I think I liked Date Night the best.
We ended up watching 2: Tiana in her Bayou Realm, and Reign of Fire. Both were ok. Forgive me, all you Princess fans out there.
I whipped up the BEST chicken and dumplings with biscuits ever eaten in the Steppesister household!! Mmmmm... Mmm!!!
Fuddy duddy? Yeah, we were in bed at 11:00. I briefly woke up at 12:00 when volley of something went off, only to roll back over and saw some more logs. Felt good too!!
Today, we had a humdinger of a perfect New Year's Day, 2011!! We went over to Oceanside just in time for a little beachcombing and the most beautiful sunset over the Pacific I've EVER seen!! Just lovely!! We stopped in Tillamook and I had a heaping bowlful (a whole pound) of fresh mussels cooked in lime, garlic and cilantro. I ate every single one of those tasty little numbers!
Happy New Year to all !! Kyle and his cousin and Moi were the only ones home !!!I had to wake Kyle to see the Ball drop and then this morning he asked why I didn't wake him!!
I may start my PTR for August very soon !!I will be looking for Tips on how to make The Sweet Sixteen Trip really special !!When it comes to "special" & "fun" this the thread to ask on!!! If I asked on Marv's He'd have Spoon Dancing,Piglet ideas !!
Sounds like a nice quiet-ish evening, Rosie! Nice!

With all the work you've been doing lately, you needed some down time.
I'll be watching for that, but if I miss it, please PM me.
Hey, I need to repot on our Settlers of Catan progress. We really like the game, and have played 3 times so far, including last night. Believe it or not, James won the first game, and I've won the last two. Marlene hasn't fared well and declared that she now doesn't like strategy games. Judy's only played one of the times and afterward said that she still doesn't "get it".
I meant to ask you about that a few days ago, then forgot!! It's a great game, but I think it's more fun if you have a bit of a competitive personality. So, you bought the original version right? Once you master that, you might want to upgrade to Knights and Cities; there's a lot more dimension and strategy to that one. Judy, don't give up, sometimes it takes more than a game or two, to "get it".
Sounds like us - our evening's festivities included watching John Wayne in "True Grit", then when we couldn't decide on another movie we watched an episode of NCIS that we had DVR-d. When that was done we watched a little bit of Pawn Stars until midnight...then Danny went and fiddled on his computer awhile (updating the counter on the Village website to account for the new year) while I watched more Pawn Stars and/or American Pickers. Our menu consisted of cheese, sausage & crackers, little weenies wrapped in crescent rolls, pickles and loaded, baked potato sticks. Gotta love a junk food filled night!
I really like NCIS, but since we don't have cable, we don't get to watch it unless we are at the Salem house. Ah well, in a year or two, the library will have it to rent.
Pawn Stars AND Pickers are two of my favorites!! Good stuff those two!
Your dinner sounds like a veritable feast of junk food!! I love it!



All you needed was some Pabst Blue Ribbon to go with it all.
Hello! Happy New Year! And Merry (belated) Christmas!
And: woo-hoo, you're on your way to WDW!
After my month-plus life-mandated DIS hiatus, I've actually managed to catch up on your TR. Go me.
Your pink toes are adorable, and are making me feel a bit ashamed for the leftover red chips currently gracing my own (possibly from my wedding in august, sadly).
Can't wait to hear about your arrival, and the Derby, and everything else this trip holds in store!
So glad you're back!! I've missed you, and Happy Holidays to you and your family too!!
I know, I'm finally on my way- aren't you excited!? Sorry about that W link that seems to not be working. I still need to fix that!!
Arrival is coming soon, but man, getting pictures in order, edited, and uploaded is such a big pain in the patootey!!
