The Mominator Vs. The Kinder Gentler Me...Go Read the TR!!!

[princessjv]

Great update! You have been one busy lady.

Okay, what is a 'shower bag'? Toiletry bag? The kind of thing you stuff all of your essentials to get ready with?

Are you seriuosly going make-up fishing while at WDW? That holder sounds like what the pro's use. I hope this Bare Essentials makeup is water-proof/sweat resistant. I think you may need it.


Just a little.



I gave my computer a diet soda shower, when you said you ordered Body Glide, but didn't know what it was.

That is just great. If they say to do it on the DIS, then do it. You will thank them later.

Thanks PJV! No - BE makeup isn't "exactly" sweat/waterproof, but there are things you can do to "seal" some of it - like your eye makeup...I'm thinking of starting to Fake-n-Bake just to even out my color so I don't have to wear makeup....don't know where or how I'll find the time though...

Of course, there's always Mystic Tan, which has served me very well in the past! So we'll see...

Oh and yes, the "shower" bag is the toiletry bag...I just can't seem to say toiletry bag...at least not without giggling anyway...

Hi Lauralee,

All caught up once again!

I find what you said about Michael complimenting you SO FUNNY! You see my DS14 was the same way at Michael's age, in fact he still is!

I alway's say the same thing about him though, (He's sure gonna make a wonderful husband).

Anyway, loved your updates, keep em coming your giving me some great ideas for packing.

30 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

LL,
Glad to know all is well and that you are, in fact, not neglecting your planning duties

I can't imagine trying to fly these days. DH accidentally had his leatherman in a side pocket of his suitcase. Seems the 4 year old was "helping" him pack. It was confiscated faster than you could say confiscated.

And...HIJACK...Tasha, WHERE is your pre-trippie????

 

[PrincessV]

But all of you know that once you’re thinking of changing an ADR for ANY reason, you don’t feel “right” until it’s done. Are you with me?

More than you know.

Aha…I know! I’ll leave things as they are and add Biergarten to my January ADR’s! Phew…ok, crisis averted!

Good plan!

I have decided to do what any mother with a child of “short attention span” does…when he brings it up, I’ll point to something just out of his line of sight and say “WOW look at that bird!”

I think we’ll go to Animal Kingdom in January when it’s cooler. Sound good?

Well, I believe you already know how feel about this one! I'm preparing my defense for skipping AK even as I type.

YEP…THAT’s HOW MUCH CLOTHES DO NOT FIT! All of a sudden too, it seems.

I can vouch fo "all of a sudden" - my DS came home a full inch taller than he left 2 weeks ago!

Can I just once again say how much I hate terrorism? Well, of course we ALL do, but it really has made air travel a hassle. Usually I check suitcases, but the shower bag never leaves my side. I can buy clothes at my destination of my luggage gets lost, but the shower bag? Forget about it. I would prefer to carry all that stuff in one of those “Get Smart” silver briefcases handcuffed to my wrist.

I'm totally with you! Blow me up if you must, but gosh-darn-it, I NEED my special face soap and Paul Mitchell conditioner. I swore off air travel until they started allowing liquids again.

(I’m totally NUTS for going in August…I am not a big fan of Florida in the summertime. It’s a good thing I love you guys…and you know who you are!! )

Listen, I don't reall trying to convince anyone to vacation in freaking AUGUST, either - I'll be in the swamps with you my friend!

Maybe it won’t be so bad going to FL from NC in the summer.

Suuuuuure.....

Where will the madness end?

I'll tell you where it ends. Guess who's planning to walk around the MK with an umbrella? Regardless of whether or not it's raining? Will you all pretend not to know me?!

So, that’s where I am with packing…I’ve got an idea of what clothes of mine I’ll be bringing, but really can’t pack too much yet. And it’s killing me…It’s unacceptable.

Does it make you feel any better to hear that I don't even have a clue about what I might bring? It may very well be a night-before packing job.

Let’s see…did I mention that my MistyMate’s have arrived - but I haven’t yet opened the box. I bought them direct from them at a price of 2/$25.00.

Okay, what's the deal with Misty Mates? Do I need some? You guys have me intrigued...

Well, I've been working on this update all day and it's time to put this baby to bed...hope it was worth the waiting...sounds like babble to me!!

I hope this Bare Essentials makeup is water-proof/sweat resistant.

Not so much. At least not on me.

Well thank you very much Sharkie! Only a true friend would point out my mistakes (and in front of others as well)

Just Kidding!! I am working on one today acutally. DD15 is helping me learn how to upload pics!

[DisneyJo]

Wow LL what an installment you're really putting me to shame you know

Michael is so sweet I've got some bodyglide as Ellie got blisters last trip so I thought I'd try it! Can't believe you have a makeup box with lift out compartments And a always ready to go shower bag or whatever you called it Can't believe you've gone and got Misty mates too please tell me if they're good or not!

BTW can't wait to be stalked

Hi Tasha!! Glad to have you back! Are you packed yet???

LL,

Hey there Sharkb8! Yes - if I'm guilty of anything, it's NOT packing/planning! Wait till you see my list of what goes in to said "shower bag"...you'll all see why I'm better suited to DVC...I need a Home Away From Home resort since I tend to bring half my home with me on vacation!!

Well, I believe you already know how feel about this one! I'm preparing my defense for skipping AK even as I type.

Yep - I'm right there with you...I'll have a story well prepared and I'll be sticking to it!

I'm pretty sure anyway...

I can vouch fo "all of a sudden" - my DS came home a full inch taller than he left 2 weeks ago!

OMG - a full inch? How tall is he now? Wow - what'd they feed him? We keep trying to convince Michael that he's actually shrinking since he's gone on some kind of prison camp hunger strike. Been telling him that he's shrinking and won't be able to (finally) go on Mission Space...So far it's not working...

And Mother-of-the-Year goes to....

I'm totally with you! Blow me up if you must, but gosh-darn-it, I NEED my special face soap and Paul Mitchell conditioner. I swore off air travel until they started allowing liquids again.

I knew you could relate...and wait till I post my list of what goes in to my super-duper shower bag...if it's lost...I'm screwed...

Listen, I don't reall trying to convince anyone to vacation in freaking AUGUST, either - I'll be in the swamps with you my friend!

Let's face it...it's all Tracy's fault....

Well, Jo's not totally blameless either...

I'll tell you where it ends. Guess who's planning to walk around the MK with an umbrella? Regardless of whether or not it's raining?

Chance favors the well prepared...

Will you all pretend not to know me?!

I'm sorry, have we met?

Does it make you feel any better to hear that I don't even have a clue about what I might bring? It may very well be a night-before packing job.

Normally I'd be FREAKED out at this statement...but somehow knowing you're not TOO far from home really makes me feel better....

Okay, what's the deal with Misty Mates? Do I need some? You guys have me intrigued...

Well, honestly...I have NO IDEA...I saw them mentioned in Jo's PTR (I think) - she was looking for them...then everywhere I was on these boards it seemed that everyone was talking about them.... I don't even think they have fans on them....they LOOK (in the picture on the website) like they just spit at you...which will be detrimental to my makeup job (yeah, right), but I bought them anyway...

Well thank you very much Sharkie! Only a true friend would point out my mistakes (and in front of others as well)

Just Kidding!! I am working on one today acutally. DD15 is helping me learn how to upload pics!

I'll be looking for it!

ME TOO!!!!

AH HA!! Jo has the Body Glide too! It's NOT JUST ME!! Oh and don't worry - you'll be stalked baby!!!

That is one 'shower bag'!

YOU DO NEED A SUITCASE FOR YOUR LOOT! if this is what you pack makeup wise, I can't wait to see how you stuff suitcases...and with WHAT!

BTW...So which is it...curly or straight?

Well, since I solved my Photobucket issue and you've all seen how nuts I am with my "shower bag", here's my makeup tackle box!

You just may need to open your bathroom room door at the end of the distribution line and let it flow in.

I see you are liking those products!

Now, I have an excuse for my make up fetish...I used to work with a major line...you?

 

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Wow Lauralee you don't play about your makeup do you?

I have to admit I am actually bringing some bare minerals I just purchased, not sure if I'll actually use it (you know the heat and all), we'll just have to see.

BTW, girl I love your bathroom (the corner of it anyway)!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

LL,
Did you happen to see on the allears newsletter about the GENIUS in Orlando who started a company where you get a smallish container to keep there in storage? Kind of like PODS, only much smaller. You could keep a tackle box/shower bag in storage for when you go down, and you would have a tackle box/shower bag at home. I think they even deliver it to your hotel.

But then, that would take all the fun out of packing, wouldn't it?

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Let's face it...it's all Tracy's fault....
Well, Jo's not totally blameless either...

Puhleeeeze! I don't recall twisting your arm! Or did I? : Well, all I know is it was easy! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Wholly CARP! You win!

Think I'm crazy yet???

Don't worry, you're in good company!

Hey! I have that Buxom lip gloss! Same shade! Dontcha love it?!? Ok, so this is what I have to look forward to now that you've got me hooked on Bare Minerals????
[/QUOTE]

 

[DisneyJo]

OMG OMG OMG I don't think any of you will speak to me wearing just my little bit of lip gloss, no foundation, no powder, no blusher etc etc but think of all the extra stuff I can pack You truly are one organised woman, btw can't you all use the same shampoo????

You are bettter than me JO, at least ou wear lipgloss. I don't have the time or patience to put makeup on, expecially in the August heat of Florida

Becky,

BARE ESSENTIALS!!!!

I love the brand, but seriously, I have one, ONE, little tub! Help me out with this - are they all different shades, different applications, different consistencies? LY/MI!

OMG OMG OMG I don't think any of you will speak to me wearing just my little bit of lip gloss, no foundation, no powder, no blusher etc etc but think of all the extra stuff I can pack

I'm there with you Jo! I wear a bit more for work, but summer at WDW? Fuhgeddaboutit. I'm too oily to go without some powder, but that's pretty much it. It'll all just sweat off, anyway.

 

[Lauralee131]

That is one 'shower bag'!

YOU DO NEED A SUITCASE FOR YOUR LOOT! if this is what you pack makeup wise, I can't wait to see how you stuff suitcases...and with WHAT!

Ahhhh....wait till you see how I pack...I don't want to brag, but...I'm an awesome packer!!

BTW...So which is it...curly or straight?

Today it's curly...I haven't had my hair straightened (chemically) in about a year and a half and I had my hair cut short(er) so it's all my natural curls now, but I still like to straighten it too...depends on my mood I guess, or where I'm going & what I'll be doing...stuff like that...

You just may need to open your bathroom room door at the end of the distribution line and let it flow in.

Now you're talkin'!

I see you are liking those products!

Now, I have an excuse for my make up fetish...I used to work with a major line...you?

No excuse, sadly The top section of the box is all eye/lip stuff - about 10 different shadow colors, then there's the Warmth, the foundation, the mineral veil...it's addicting...

Wow Lauralee you don't play about your makeup do you?

I have to admit I am actually bringing some bare minerals I just purchased, not sure if I'll actually use it (you know the heat and all), we'll just have to see.

BTW, girl I love your bathroom (the corner of it anyway)!

Nope...if you saw me without makeup I'd scare you to death (make a note of that girls for our pool day by the way ). I'm just one of those people who look absolutely horrifying without makeup, so I wear makeup to look like I'm not wearing makeup...

Clear as mud now, eh?

I find that if you use the mineral veil under your foundation, it holds up a lot better in the heat...I have fairly oily skin so it's a Godsend for me. Liquid makeup used to just run right down my face it seemed.

Thanks - we're going to be getting ready to re-do the bathroom soon - new paint, etc...trying to make it look/feel really relaxing like a spa, but so far, I've had no luck...

But then, that would take all the fun out of packing, wouldn't it?

YES! Owner's Locker or something! Tony and I were talking about it not too long ago...we're on the fence about it, but it's such a great idea that we're going to check it out some more

But yes, you're right...it would take the sport out of packing...what on earth would I do with myself???

Puhleeeeze! I don't recall twisting your arm! Or did I? : Well, all I know is it was easy! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Ok, so I'm easy...but someone's to take one for the team...you can't drink those 21 Lapu's by yourself now, can ya???

Hey! I have that Buxom lip gloss! Same shade! Dontcha love it?!? Ok, so this is what I have to look forward to now that you've got me hooked on Bare Minerals????

Yep - it's addicting. I love that lip gloss too...the whole line - totally in love with everything I've tried so far...

OMG OMG OMG I don't think any of you will speak to me wearing just my little bit of lip gloss, no foundation, no powder, no blusher etc etc but think of all the extra stuff I can pack You truly are one organised woman, btw can't you all use the same shampoo????

ACK!!! Use the same shampoo???? I buy Tony the 99 cent Suave and buy mine in salons and Michael - well, he's still kind of in the "no more tears" stage still...

Wow - I didn't think of how much extra stuff you can pack...no wonder you're taking a day to go shopping!!!

You are bettter than me JO, at least ou wear lipgloss. I don't have the time or patience to put makeup on, expecially in the August heat of Florida

It's habit I guess Janet...but it's kind of like wearing nothing at all and is pretty fast and easy so I don't mind it much...

Phew when are we meeting?

Yep - they're all different. Ok, so maybe I've got issues...if you saw me WITHOUT makeup you'd run screaming in the other direction!! It's a wonder Tony can even look at me in the morning...

I remember "back in the day" when I was terrified of him seeing me "au natural" that I'd get up SUPER early in the morning and make sure I'd have my makeup all done, etc. before he even got up in the morning!!
