Our plans have changed again.

My MIL is not coming for Christmas. DH's schedule changed again.

SO.......We are back at AKL CL for Christmas.

The Sunrise Safari is still available so we booked that immediately-again.

Andrea was probably laughing. I think I've changed our plans 100 times.

I even snagged a FL Resident Rate. :jumping4: :jumping4: :jumping4: :jumping4:

 

[johnsonet]

WOW! Floridafam that is awesome news! I can't believe how everything has ended up coming together. CONGRATS!
We will be at AKL CL until the 22d. When do you arrive?
Fabulous about the Sunrise Safari

 

[floridafam]

We arrive the 24th. It would have been nice to meet up.

Have a wonderful trip!

Man oh Man, is it hard to find this thread with the Search function disabled. I have been SO busy lately, I just havn't had any time to stop by. Hope all is well with the Lizards. to everyone who is going to the World over Christmas.

I just looked at my counter and we are at 66 days! It seems like this trip has been forever in the coming, but now that it is getting closer I am realizing I have nothing done!!! I am thinking of chucking the whole thing over to IPO. If I asked them to make me PSs based on the parks I think I will be in on various days and use their best judgement for which restaurants to book - do you think they would do that?

I also want to get something for DS in the room at the Poly for his b'day morning. I was thinking Feralpeg has some awesome baskets, but maybe I should just as IPO to arrange something?

The only things I have done are my 90 day stuff - Sunrise Safari, done
Crystal Palace Character Brekkie - done, Illuminations Cruise for DSs b'day - done. But that's about it. I have also put up to share my cruise and gotten people to share, but I have to get back to them about $$ and stuff like that and I am stressed.......OK, breathe, breathe...........

Just stopping by on the fly--big room wave to everyone! I had to quick post because things are soooooo hectic around here. Sounds as if it's the same for all our LL pals. . .oh the joy of holidays, the end of fall sports, and the beginning of winter sports! All of my Saturdays for the next few months will be a blur between wrestling and competitive cheer. Come to think of it. . .M-F won't be all that grand either!

To everyone going to WDW soon--have a great vacation--wish it were me! I guess I'll have to settle for Calgon to relax!

 

[Tess]

One more thing. . .does anyone know how to rid yourself of an unwanted stray cat?? This is one lovey dovey kitten and it's so cold outside. I feel badly for it, but I already have a spayed female house cat and I'm not very fond of male house cats--all that spraying they tend to do. . .YUCK! Anyway, this poor, cold little cutie pie showed up this a.m. and is showing no sign of leaving. He's taken up residence in the garage and front porch (it's really pitiful watching it peer in around the Christmas tree) as we're all snuggly warm in the house. I just keep thinking he seems well cared for and should be trying to find his way home, but he seems to think we're his home! Keep telling me. . .Tess, you do NOT need another kitten (which will grow up to be a cat!). . . Ugh!

 

[johnsonet]

Tess~
You DO need another kitten/cat!
How can you bear to leave that little fella out in the cold?
I know you're thanking me right now...

 

[#1hockeymom]

Oh... the poor little kitten! Liz added the rest so I'll just sit back and watch the tears flow when you see him peer around the tree again!

Big wave to all! Tree still isn't up, shopping not done, but hey, we have ANOTHER hockey game tonight. *feel the sarcasm*
I'm looking at Saturday as our start date, hopefully also our end date!

Happy almost Friday!
Debbie

 

[Tess]

Meow. . .Meow. . .

Oh no, he's calling me! He really looks like a "Buster" to me--no, he's not--he's just a stray kitten. . .a cat with no name. . .Thanks Liz & Debbie--you're a HUGE help! No guilt salving from you two!

 

[johnsonet]

Tess - you obviously want to be talked into letting Buster sleep/cuddle/dine/sing Christmas carols with you...

 

[#1hockeymom]

Maybe its Minnie's cat? See if he answers to Figaro! *picturing Tess calling outside in the cold while the cat runs inside to ANY name*
*running away really fast*

Tess... please.. put a coat on first! We can't have one of our lounge lizards catching a bad cold!

 

[#1hockeymom]

See if he likes milk! If he does, he's yours! If not, he must be someone elses!

 

[steveanddonna]

I just keep thinking he seems well cared for and should be trying to find his way home, but he seems to think we're his home!

Sorry, Tess, but I'm with everyone else. That kitty chose his home; you can't get rid of him now, especially since you've almost named him. Have him neutered - our males have never sprayed since neutering, and they have wonderful temperaments, too. BTW, have you read The Cat Who Came For Christmas?

We had a neutered male cat (which had to be put to sleep btw and broke our hearts) and he still sprayed. Honestly, we never had a problem with our baby Muffin Cat until a year or so after a move to a new home. He began to spray and piddle out of the blue. We tried everything to modify his behavior, but finally couldn't have him destroying our home. We had that cat for 10 years!

Our problem with a new one is we already have a cat and she is not very flexible. As I said, she's spayed so no issue there--she was also a stray who adopted us. In fact, our two cats who have passed on (Muffin and another female who lived to be 19), were also strays. What the heck, we must be stray cat magnets! LOL

I have read The Cat Who Came for Christmas--you had to pull the book card didn't you!

Well Liz, Debbie, & Donna--you'll be happy to know that Buster, er-um, I mean the kitten w/no name is now perched in my husband's lap purring up a storm as they watch the UT/MU of Ohio game! We've prepared a place for him in the downstairs bathroom w/litter box AND food/water. Why do I get the feeling I'll be seeing the vet tomorrow! Then again, I do have a friend who offered to take him (she's a sucker for gray cats) IF he was still here on Monday. . .that's just a few days away! We'll see how it goes with our Precious cat before we make a decision--right now, she's a hissing, growling, pacing fool.

 

[#1hockeymom]

awwww Buster has a loving home! Oh, I forgot about "The Cat who came for Christmas!" Good thinking Donna!

Debbie <---- who is very glad we didn't have to stay on topic while Tess took in another stray!

 

[minniesota]

Hey Lizards!

I found the suitcases and they are packed! Just wanted to dash in quickly and thank all of you for advice, suggestions, humor and friendship. I will report on BWI CL when we return. DH has finally relaxed and is ready to go. We probably won't do as much park stuff but we will definitely enjoy the beautiful resorts and Christmas fanfare! And to top it all, it's going to snow like crazy while we are in WARM and SUNNY Florida!!! Au revoir!

 

[TammiMcMan]

Minniesota, have a safe and wonderful trip. I hope you packed some shorts, because the weather looks great in Florida.

I'm finally under a week now and I had the dreaded Disney nightmare last night. The whole missing the plane and everything. Well, I am heading out to check off some more items from my "to do" list.

Happy Friday everyone,
Tammi
