The Pre-Pre-Trip Report: MOVING TIME! 11/21 Pg. 19. The PTR has Begun!

[IluvXU]

I joined watching Brothers and Sisters late too. I need to rent season one, but pretty much got the drift now.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Super Mario for wii is on DS's christmas list! He LOVES Mario and can't wait to have it!! We have all sorts of Mario wii games, mario cart, mario galaxy, mario and sonic at the winter olympics etc. All great games!!

I hope all goes well at work!! Back before my stay at home mom days I worked in an office where I first shared an office with another women and then got moved into a bigger office with 4 other people. Then I could go online anymore, boooo!

I've seen Brothers and Sisters a handful of times, good show!!! Normally I'm stuck with whatever DH wants to watch, which leaves me with a laptop on my lap and Dis

Try not to give into Marc take it easy this weekend!! Really! With all the holiday stuff coming up you'll be happy to have done it!!

I know what you mean about wanting to be in the christmas spirit! I just want thanksgiving to come and go already!! I want me some christmas!!!

I want Christmas too. I am not a very big fan of Thanksgiving. I don't care for Turkey and don't really get into the holiday. I liked it much better when I was in elementary school and we would dress up like Pilgrims and Indians.

I enjoy Brothers and Sisters too. Justin is a cutie! Thanks for the picture LL!

I say stay home this weekend - Marc may need the rest anyway, Right???

I found that one of our local radio stations has already switched over to all Christmas music. That either gets you in the mood, or annoys the heck out of you. Me - in the mood - totally!! This weekend I'm going to start decorating since we leave for WDW the week after Thanksgiving (12/3 to be exact!). I'm decorating early so it will all be done before we leave.

I was about to suggest baking Christmas cookies, but that might not be a great idea for people losing weight huh?
Have you done any shopping? Maybe gift wrapping or something or watching a holiday movie would get you in the mood more.
Hang in there!!

I adore Justin. I just read on the internet that the actor who plays Kevin is from England! He hides his accent well.

No cookie baking for us. I'm just about done shopping but I think we might go get Christmas tree hunting this weekend.

I know what you mean about feeling lost with no Disney trip to plan -- me too, me too, me too!

I think the Christmas season will help take our minds off of our non-Disney-trip-planned lives -- I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas afterwards!

I can't wait to dig out all the Christmas stuff. Most of ours is at the inlaws since we had that mini tree last year. I am going to try to guilt Marc into getting it next week when he's feeling better.

Hi LL....

I've gotten behind on your PRE PTR. I know you are in a funk because you are between trips - that's hard. I bet you will become distracted with all the holiday stuff between now and Christmas.

I am glad to read that Marc is doing so well after his surgery. I love your Christmas card picture. It's really cute.

And congrats to you for your continued wt loss and for the positive feedback from the nutritionist. I wish you continued success as you travel through this life changing journey.

One of the hair dressers where I get my hair done commented that she lost 99lbs after her wt loss surgery. She was so happy yesterday when she weighed in. It was really great to see that sense of accomplishment on her face. I'm not sure how long ago she had her surgery, but I know there are so many more positives in store for you!

I really am in a funk. Bah. I'm happy with my weight loss so far, this surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I can't believe how little I have been eating, I never thought I'd eat like a bird.

Sorry work is getting in the way of babbling. Internet use crackdown, huh? That stinks.

I Brothers & Sisters.

I also say enjoy your last not jam packed weekend before the holidays. One of my neighbors put up all their Christmas decorations last weekend and is lighting them every night! I know Thanksgiving is next week but it feels too early to see Christmas lights.

Sorry about the between trip funk. It is a long road to October. But at least we're back to 180 day ADRs so that will be April!

Glad Marc is doing well.

I always think of you when watching Brothers & Sisters. I think you wrote about an Ojai (is that how you spell it?) display at the Food & Wine festival last year.

April can't get here soon enough....I am DYING to talk about that trip.

 

[Lady Lallie]

LOL my neighbor down the road has his inflatable turkey army up...I swear the man has at least 11 inflatable turkeys in his yard and he already had the lights and Santa inflatables ready to go on his roof...he could give Tim Allen a run for his money LOL!!!

Sorry you are in a funk...I'm in the same funk!!! Whatever will we do to occupy ourselves until MARCH

I say enjoy your last busy free weekend...I wish I could enjoy this weekend before the parentals arrive LOL!! (CODE FOR: MORE TIME TO CLEAN THE HOUSE).

PICTURE!!

We need to figure out what we are going to do over the next few months.

Jen, you HAVE to get a picture of that -- I am laughing just at the imagined scene!!!

I really want to see it too!

Hi LL,
Sorry work is cracking down on internet use, don't they know you have DISing to do?!!

I hear you about the funk about not having Disney to plan, this is the 1st year that I haven't had a trip in the works in 3 years.....I'm going through withdrawals, even doing my TR!! We just booked Disney on Ice in Boston....did you see it's coming?! The week after Christmas...maybe you and Marc should look into it! AAA had cheap tickets, fyi!! So that will give me a bit of a fix BUT...it's not the same!! How is the Disney store, does that help working there at all?!

I hope Marc is doing well!!! And listening to you and resting!!! I say, take the weekend off again and relax...will you see his Grandmother for Thanksgiving??

I'm really not happy about the internet cracking down...I'm hoping it's just a phase and it will pass.

I did see that Disney on Ice was coming to Boston....I just hate going into the city. I'm a wimp.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!



I've seen an extended one somewhere on the internet...Kendall would know. Get this. Her mom aka control freak but non planner (I don't really get that combo but it's interesting) totally waited too long to get tickets and she's not going tomorrow night for the opening iwth all her friends like she planned. I feel so bad for her! Hopefully one of her friends comes through.

And I can't take her with me on Friday because...there are about 10 of us 40 or so olds going together, to an adult only theater that actually serves food, beer and wine! And besides the fact that she isn't 21, it is sold out. A theater officially full of adults to see it. SO excited! I confess, I now own 2 t-shirts, is it wrong? The rack had some cute ones for $9.99, I couldn't resisit,. Now...which one to wear.




Hey that's less than a year away....you can plan, I give you permission.

I got the same game for Eric, he doesn't even know that it's been released or anything about it but he's asked for every other Mario game that exists so I think he will be super excited.

How can you NOT have a crush on Justin Walker?

Yum.

Darn work. I've been busy this week myself and am equally behind!



You must post a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A turkey army

Oh, poor Kendall! I hope she gets a ticket!

I Justin Walker. Senator McCallister isn't bad to look at either.

I will go for a "walk" this afternoon when I get home with my mission to take a picture of his house!! Seriously I think he might have the whole thing up by today!! But I slowed down to count the turkeys (I finally got over the fear of them attacking me LOL) and he had 11 of them...and then snoopy is on the roof in a helcopter...the lights are up...including the santa and reindeer. He was putting up a wreath and his Merry Christmas sign!!! Now while the turkey army does make me want to run in terror, I have to give it to my neighbor when he does something HE GOES ALL THE WAY!! Pretty impressive!!!

I love those kinds of decorations. Marc & I drive around looking at Christmas lights and decorations every year, we just love it. Someday when I have a yard I'm going all out.

Jen, I must agree! I need to see a picture of the turkey army!!!!!

I saw a house last night that had a whole bunch of christmas lights up and on!

A lot of my neighbors already have their trees up!

Oh boy, I can't wait to see that!

I am just getting into Brothers and Sisters. I want to rent the first few seasons from the library so I know more of what is happening. I am really looking forward to the holidays. I can't wait to put our tree up. We put our tree up early and take it down late. Winter is so dark that the tree brightens our whole house up.

Well if you want to borrow my seasons, I'd be happy to send them to you! Just let me know.

LL, just keep you chin up! I know that you must be feeling sad right now, but I'm sure that things will be looking up.
It must be tough going cold turkey from the DIS during the day, I go through that when school starts....

It is tough...I feel so out of the loop. I am so behind on all of the reports, I feel like I will never catch up!

Are you back from your walk yet, Jen???

Yeah Jen! Where are you!?!

I joined watching Brothers and Sisters late too. I need to rent season one, but pretty much got the drift now.

I can pass that along to you too! Just let me know.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Well...I have some BIG news.

Something that I thought wouldn't be possible.

I'm going to Disney in January!

I know! I really didn't think it was going to happen.

It turns out that Marc did have short term disability through his job...even when his wife asked him to look into MONTHS ago and he insisted that he didn't have the coverage...well let's just say he does which means that we have some extra money to play with since he burned through all of his vacation time. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!

It was not a happy day in the LL household when she realized that she canceled her January trip when she probably didn't have too.

Things are a lot different for this trip. In list form shall we?

*Jen will not be able to join me. She canceled her time off and has put all her efforts into October. It makes me really sad that I had to cancel on her but I know that October will be awesome for us. That means I'll be solo, I am so looking forward to a vacation away from my real life.

*It's a very short THREE night trip.

*I'll only be going into TWO parks.

*Right now I'm booked in a preferred room at Pop Century. This is the only value room I can find for the days I'm going. I might have a chance at an awesome upgrade though. Anita (wigdoutdismom) & her husband Marc (wsushocker) are currently in the process of buying some additional DVC points that would have to be used by February. It might be too short notice for them to add to their December trip so they have generously offered me use of them. This is all very up in the air, so we will just have to stay tuned.

Well, there are a few tidbits for your reading pleasure. I'm still working everything out, itinerary 1.0 is coming along nicely.

I'm just going to keep this thread going but have them move it over to the Trip Report Board.

Girl! You are just full of ups and downs! I'm tickled about your trip! I wish you could take Marc along...

 

[Lady Lallie]

Quite honestly...I don't want to take him along.

I remember why I like him working overnight so much...I need my alone time.

We were trying to figure out a trip for the two of us to take but it was just too expensive to do something that we were both interested in. Then I suggested that I could actually go on the trip I was supposed too...and he agreed. WOO HOO!!

My life is a roller coaster, truly.

Well, we do need to put ourselves first, don't we??

Well...yes.

It was amazing how happy I was today just thinking about going in January again. It really makes my work day go by much nicer!
