The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 29

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Jennifer - I dug around and found my access code to the online book. I think it is only something you can access through a business because I have to go in through the credit card website. Someone had posted on the budget board that people were getting free online access if they were SBC customers who were switched over to AT&T, so that was the way I got the first one. AT&T never did offer it to me, I just used the link off the budget board and typed in my account info. You can try www.saversguide.com and see what pops up but I didn't see an offer to buy a subscription.

Tammi - Sounds like a great day!

What a great day!!

I had a "cookout" although I really didn't cook much. I put a couple of burgers on the grill and then picked up a half bussel of the worlds largest hard shell crabs. Yum!!! Fresh silver queen corn. Sweet. Home grown tomatoes, potato salad. I made non-alcoholic strawberry daquiris. My son and his family, my daughter's family and a couple of good friends rounded out the guest list. What a wonderful day.

The only downside is that I am waiting for the Maytag repairman to stop fixing the machines that make toys and helping people install their cable and fix my washer!! No for me until Thursday. My poor DD had to go to the laundramat so we would have clean towels.

Oh, and the best for last, my littlest grandson called me ga ma!!!!

That sounds like a great day. We're hoping to have a bbq tomorrow. We worked on the deck most of the day and managed to get the rails up and almost all capped. Tomorrow morning we'll finish capping the rail and build the stairs. It is really starting to look like a deck. We also painted the only table that we were able to find this time of year. It looks similar to the chairs (at least in the dark it does ) Hopefully all of our hard work will come together tomorrow and we'll have a great ending to the weekend.

I worked tonight, it was pretty slow and the tips were horrible. Why is it that people on vacation do not tip well A family of 6 from Pennsylvania had a bill of $106 and only left me $6. Then a Canadian family of 3 left only $5. Canadians (not to offend anyone that may be Canadian, this is just my experience) have no idea how to tip. They often leave $1 for the entire table. Apparently tipping doesn't happen in Canada

Jennifer -- just go to www.entertainment.com and buy it right from their site.

I see where I can buy the book from that site as that is what I was looking at earlier. But I think I want the online version. can I get it from the site as well. All I see are the options to buy the book for the town you want.

Chuck wants to do Pleasure Island during this trip.

So should we plan for late Friday night or Saturday night?

 

[my3princes]

I'm heading to bed too. I've got another busy day on tap for tomorrow.

Night all

 

[bear74]

and I am now headed to bed too. See you all in the morning! Good night, DDA!

Both, Chuck says. After thinking about it, we are thinking Friday. We want to spend Sunday at Epcot hanging out with Terry & Stephanie and I don't want to be exhausted. Saturday, we don't really have any plans other than meals.

I'll be heading to bed too once Becky gets home from work. Chuck picked out a bad movie so I'm going to have to read something good or watch something good before going to sleep. I have to have good thoughts before falling asleep or I can have nightmares. I can't believe I'm 45 years old and still have nightmares.

Hmm. Apparently you do have to be "referred" in by a business because when I went to the generic "Savers Guide" and printed a coupon it said VOID all over the coupon! I am wondering if this is just a perk offered to customers of certain businesses and not something you can buy on your own.

Glad the deck is coming together! Sorry about the crummy tips!

Stephanie - Isn't it the best when little ones say your name? Princess is in LOVE with DS and she says his name. She kind of likes DH, too, and she says his name. She doesn't say my name. And when I ask her who I am she isn't consistent with the word she uses for me. I guess she just hasn't worked it out yet. Your food sounds YUMMY. I had quesadillas with my friend (a huge honking plate full) and then when I got home DH had steaks ready for dinner. I am bursting at the seams!

I don't think age has anything to do with it! I have VERY vivd dreams and nightmares, and so does DS. I don't see a connection between what I watch/read before bed and my dreams, though.

Elizabeth I found out that once you buy a book and register it then you can access the online version of all the other books

 

[bear74]

Well that's handy! Learn something new every day around here! That might make having the Dallas book more worthwhile. I'll have to think about that! Did you look at Mousesavers? Sometimes there are special offers for discounts on the book through them.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Yep. If you order the book through the link on Mousesavers you get free shipping!

Elin, Stephanie, & Tammi sounds like you all had a wonderful day!

Deb I am really looking forward to seeing your deck

Vicki for no bad dreams tonight!

Bernadette I have laundry waiting for me & I have not been away, so no excuse for me! I will start on it tomorrow.

Jennifer good to see you posting!

I had no luck finding shorts today But I did just place an online order through J C Penny. Hopefully they will fit ok. Guess I waited to long to start looking

I laid down around 4 to take a nap & I must have been tired, I did not wake up till 7! Gary had dinner ready though, cooked out steak, brats, & shrimp. All was good & after a big bowl of fresh fruit I am stuffed.

Robyn - I did get my pedicure. I could use another foot massage right about now though.

Me too-my right foot is still trying to recover from WDW-BUT...I don't like the idea of someone touching my feet.

What a great day!!

What a perfect day!

Goodluck with the washer!

Bernadette - I am glad your kids weren't scared of the Movie Ride. Since DS was 8 on his first trip it is tricky for me to gauge what is and isn't scary to younger kids.


Anne Marie - You rock! I am still not finished with our laundry from the trip! I am getting there, though! Maybe by this time tomorrow. DH still has clothes in one suitcase, so he really needs to address that. I got 3 suitcases put away. There are 4 left in the hallway. 2 of them are empty, 1 has DH's dirty clothes in it, and one has a few odds and ends of DH's but that stuff is clean.

I find I have a hard time judging what will bother them. Emma wanted to go on the Energy ride as she liked it last year. Joe was scared to try it as he didn't go on it last year but was a good sport about it and ended up liking it. He wasn't nearly as good about going to the Lion King show. He whined and complained the entire time. Emma did great on Pirates (with the help of a few growls) but wouldn't go near Snow White-maybe that was just too girly not scary.

Theresa count me and 2 kids in for the ornament exchange

Ooooo thanks for reminding me. Count me and 3 kids in for the exchange.

I recently read Lizzy Trumpet of the Swan. The main character in that book goes to bed with a question in his head-he thinks he can find the answers in his dreams. I don't think that would work for me.
