~The Daily Grind~ 2/10/10

[Lisa AF]

Snowing, starting to stick...I'm home in my jammies, but may go out once Morgan's friend's mom gets home. We have to start working on the science fair, and they are going to Florida (Disney!) next week for vacation. Crap.

My daughter needs to be working on her science fair project too. It is at school and they've been closed for two days and will probably be closed tomorrow. She's freaking!

Wow, what a drive home from the hosp! BIG winds... Buffy, we are very close to the Chesapeake, so they were right! The snow was drifting all over the roads, and you would be driving and all of a sudden it was white...just white... totally blind. They are giving tickets to people who are driving in Maryland...if you aren't essential personel, you get slapped with $1000 fine...yikes! I'm off the next 2 days, so things should be back to normal when I go back to work on Saturday.

We went and picked up DS21's way too cute DGF at work so she could get snowed in at our house. They are outside right now making an igloo. They are using old postal boxes for the brick molds. It's pretty cool looking, but it's getting colder, and dark...

I made hot wing dip...one of her favs, for when they come in to thaw...

I DID IT!!!!! I did 30 minutes on the "dreadmill" tonight! I realize that's not a MAJOR accomplishment, but it is for me! I'm always too lazy to do it at night!

Danica, sorry no purple envelope today, but you KNOW that I think Thursdays are the best day of the week, so maybe it'll come tomorrow!!

I saved 40% off my brand new Disney Vacation. They just extended the % off room rate specials.

I did have a reservation for the Swan deluxe room and the WL standard view - I know bad me - but with the new rate I was able to get WL Courtyard view with bunk beds for only $100 more then the deluxe room at the Swan.

My DH really likes the WL. So he is happy. We saved money, I'm happy. My boys don't have to share a bed, they are happy.

What a great ending to a snow filled day.

Well I just ordered my fleece kits for no-sew blankets.. 5 blankets $50.00 & free shipping! Need them done in the next 60 days and we get a FREE DAY!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Awesome, AWM!! That's great!

And way to go, Nan! I'm still trying to decide if we're going to do that. We have APs (they run out after our June trip), and I know we could get the FastPass, but would we use it since we have DS??

I hope soooo. I don't know how much more of this I can take!!!!!

Yay!!! That's so great - you guys will have a blast!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am excited.

Nan, did you get the kits?
Wish I got the kits, but the only ones my Jo's had were too small for the 40x60 requirements. It's taking forever to cut the darn fringe.
I do have have two of the eight completed. I have until the 19th to finish the rest.

SIOH, if your APs run out in June, are you going again afterwards? You have until 12/15 to use the vouchers. You can apply the one day credit to your new APs. After you activate them that is. They also have collectible Pins if you don't need the tickets or FP.

So I had a productive afternoon, DH replaced the hard drive in my laptop so I have more room. Well I was able to spend the whole day corralling my photos into one spot. I will delete the copies that DH recovered and tomorrow/this weekend I'm going to burn them to DVD's and transfer them to the new external HD that DH bought just for photos.

 

[lovingthemouse]

I'd say that Mr. Blink is a pretty handy guy to have around!!!! Way to go Bamb, he is a keeper.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Yep, I think I'll keep him, even though he drives me batty sometimes.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Yay, Ann! I want to start planning, but there really isn't anything to plan with a cruise!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Are you doing the Disney cruise? Do you have the PassPorter for that? If not, did you want to borrow mine? I can tuck it in the CJ box.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I am doing the Disney Cruise. I think that's the book I have, but thanks for the offer!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Yay, Ann! I want to start planning, but there really isn't anything to plan with a cruise!

Did you really just say there isn't anything to plan for a DCL cruise!!?

OK going next January and planning flights, limos, hotels, clothes for all the theme nights - for the entire family, dining rotations, PALO, Excursions, How to beat all the other people to MY hammock on CC, formal night pics, fish extender gifts, secret santas, official door magnets, official t-shirts, official panama canal crossing certificates for captain to sign, updating passports, buying new luggage, DDs schoolwork, goodie bags for the plane ride, PALO, excursions, and KEEPING PEOPLE OUT OF MY HAMMOCK!!!

Oy - nothing to plan.

OK I am obsessed.

 

[morgansmom2000]

LOL, I guess I'm thinking laid back cruise

I can't buy plane tickets yet, freakin' JetBlue is still stuck on 10/31, and I'm trying to talk DH into doing the give a day get a day thing and going down on Friday (Halloween Party at MK). So, if we don't go on Friday, there won't be any hotel, cuz we'll leave at the butt crack of dawn on Saturday morning. There just isn't much I can do now.

(And the people on my meet thread are kind of annoying - not sure I'm doing FE stuff or Trick or Treating).

 

[tinkryansmom]

LOL - I hear you about the annoying people. I am GTY status and hoping I don't get put near one family. There may be a "man overboard" warning on our cruise!!

But the FE thing is fun. for the kids

I had to order online as the store had NONE! The disney kits were still 24.99 even though I had the internet print out that they were onsale... so I told them thanks but no thanks, I'll order online and walked out.. so did 4 other moms behind me who were there for the same reason! LOL
