I'm awfully far behind on keeping up with pre-trip and trip reports. LOVE the shoes--adorable and what a great rate you got on the hotel (I don't blame you for not wanting to spend the rate of a Disney hotel for that first ight).

More cute stuff! Have a good few days at work!

At Christmas our local Michael's had all sorts of Disney stuff. Now, not so much. I really like your idea of the pouch to put the Nintendo DS games in. May have to get one for Hunter. You also reminded me that I bought a couple of lanyards from Claire's years ago but we never did use. I think I'll go dig around in my miscellaneous box and see what I can find.

They had a lot of Disney scrapbook stuff on clearance too, but I don't scrapbook. I have tried several different things for Dallas to keep his DS games in, but they have all fallen to the wayside . Let us know what you find in the box .

Thank you Kathy. I love the flip flops too. I already have them packed . I know, I'm crazy to have my suitcases out and stuff already in them . I just couldn't see paying the extra $300 for one night when we can stay off site and get Dallas his favorite pizza.

More cute stuff! Have a good few days at work!

Thanks Mary . I hope we have an easy couple of days.

Oooh, great buys!!! I love the lanyards. I was thinking about getting the girls new ones, but they want to stay with the ones that I bought them for their first trip. (So sweet )

I LOVE the socks!!! They are so cute. The Comfort Suites building looks really nice, too! Your trip is in 2 months...that is so close!!!

YAAAAAY!!!!! Finally got to Michaels!!! Good for you!!! Good stuff huh?? LOL I'm fighting the urge to pack now, and I'm not even at the 3 month mark!!! HAHA Ah well....I'm ready to go!! I'm ready to see my friend too....I miss her something aweful!! Are we all getting together over there while all ya'll are down? Didn't remember if something was planned or not!! Let me know when, and if it's on a weekend, and I can go!

I never really thought about Michael's until Christie mentioned it. I think it is very sweet of your girls to want to use their first time lanyards . I always get a new one on each trip, but this time I won't have to pay the high prices at Disney.

Thanks April!!! I like the Comfort Suites. We have actually stayed in several CS in the Orlando area on some of our other trips. They are good when all 5 of us go. This time I got the suite cheaper than some other places were charging for a room.

I can't believe my counter is UNDER 2 months now .

I know, right? I got out of bed yesterday and said to myself --------"Self, get dressed and go to Michael's".......... I really enjoyed walking around the store. I do have a confession to make though. I drove to the shopping center were Michael's USE to be . It has been so long since I have been I didn't even know they had moved . So, I pulled out my handy dandy Blackberry, and thanks to google maps, I went right to it . They sure had a lot of neckless making stuff. I had to walk around the store twice to find the lanyard.

I know we have talked about getting together and I know we are planning on it, but we never set up a date or time. I think May 29th was mentioned? We have got to get it decided because it will be here before we know it. Heck Christmas was 3 months ago .

Yea, time flies when you're having fun!!! LOL How do you like your shape ups? Never did ask ya!! I got another pair today, cause my feet have shrank!!! I guess there was some fat in my feet, went down a half size! My step daughter can wear the other ones, so I'm not worried about that too much. I got the white pair this time. They're MUCH more snug, and my heel doesn't move. I went to Kohls, and didn't find too much. Got my brother a couple of tshirts for his birthday, Tyler needed shoes, got him some. Just stuff like that. I'm gonna walk in the morning, so hopefully these new sketchers will do just as good as the old ones.

No problemo on the hookin up, not sure if I'll have all 3 AP's by then or not, but I can sure try!! If so, we can hook up. Just let me know!! I'm game! I just got stuff going on the weekend of the 15th, and the 22nd. Birthdays....MAN why do they have to be so close together?? LOL

I love my shape ups! Amanda wanted a pair for her birthday so I ordered them with a coupon I got and they only cost me $55. I have the white and she wanted the black. They came last Friday and even though her birthday isn't until April 23rd I went ahead and gave them to her.

I'm looking so forward to this trip, the past 4 months have been pretty rough.

We need to hook up somewhere Christie! I'm for sure flying at 6:30pm so I have most of the day of the 29th available or the evening of the 28th works for me also. You will be travelling so tell us what works for you.

Oh yeah, y'all have me wanting a pair of shape-ups now too...y'all are a bad influence.

They're awesome Leanne!! I got a pair of 7 1/2s now that are sitting in the closet. Was gonna give them to Sami...she needs to lose about as much as I do!!! Um, as long as it's a weekend day, it doesn't matter, saturday WOULD be better, so Chris doesn't have to drive to Miami....we did that on valentines day and it sucked!! LOL What day is saturday? I'll make it a priority to get our AP's before then. hopefully I can get the first one next week!! But, I do wanna meet up with ya'll....doesn't matter where!!!

Dana, glad you like your shoes, wore mine on the treadmill this morning, the new ones, and they're MUCH better!!! I've never heard of losing fat in your feet!! I can't wear my rings, they fall off lost one set already, have a cheap set from avon now, until we can get me a good set at the end of the year. My watch, I had to move to the next tighter hole....and my 12's are getting loose. But, the scale ain't moved this week. I'm trying my hardest not to get discouraged, but for some reason, today it's tough!! ANyways, off to work!! Have a good day ya'll!!

I've thought about wearing my shoes to work, but I don't know if 13-14 hours in them would be great.... I'm really getting upset about losing weight, I can't lose any no matter what I do .

 

[racefanof88]

I want to share one of Amanda's graduation photos. I can't believe she is going to be graduation college in less than 2 months.

 

[bouncycat]

Wow Dana, just WOW!!!! She looks awesome!!! It's hard to believe they grow so fast!! One day you're changing their diapers, the next, well.....they're GONE!! LOL Crazy how that works!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

She is a beautiful girl! and I know you are one proud momma!!
I wish Gwendolyn was graduating this year...that's what happens when you change your major three times ugh!

Congratulations! Amanda!!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Amanda is beautiful Dana! You must be so proud of her. She has a lot of wonderful things going on for her!!

On the weight loss front don't give up. I was ready to give up last week, but I picked myself up, got really focused and continued on. I weighed in this morning and I've lost 4.2 lbs in the last 7 days!!!! Keep it up Dana and don't lose hope. Your body will get over the shock eventually and it will start shedding some pounds Dana. Joe told me that last week-I REALLY hate to say it but he was right.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Where or where has your baby girl gone? I know that you have to be so proud of Amanda. I would be!
