The Trip That Almost Wasn't - December '09 (We are BACK!!!! TR to start soon)

[lovebuzzandwoody]

So, I do 3 updates in one day and Sharky is the only one that comes over to comment? I do NOT feel the love!

I'm sorry. I've been a bad girl. Forgive me?

GIRL! I know my ketchup.

HAHA! Me too! And I noticed it as well! Sharky is slipping!


Love the new car girl! It's beautiful!



Aw.......... now we are not going to be at Epcot on the same day.

Love the new car ! I used to have that same Stitch magnet until someone snatched it Was it a surprise that your DH got it or did you know?

Thanks Jamie! Bummer that someone snatched your Stitch magnet. I've been afraid that someone is gonna gank mine since I got it but it hasn't happened yet.

Here's how the car purchase decision went down. I've been telling Chris for the last month that I wanted an automatic but knew I would have to wait a while for it. I even looked online in the area for anything I might be able to get him to agree to but nothing came up for me. On Monday evening Chris was browsing the web and went on a local dealer's site just to show me how unlikely it was gonna be for us to get me a new car just yet. But then he saw that Accord on the site that said "call this number to get a secret sales man price". The price they had listed on the site was over $26,000. The secret sales man price was $21,250. Chris about had a heart attack and then got all sly telling me he didn't want to tell me what was going on. So I finally got it out of him and then told him, "you realize that we have to go and look at the car and see if we can go and work a deal now, don't you?" Then yesterday, I was out at Office Depot on a work errand. I called Chris to tell him that we scored some free tickets to the NASCAR Bush race on Saturday and then he told me to ask my Dad if I could have lunch with him since he got off work early. My Dad didn't care so we met for lunch. The dealership with the Accord was right accross the street from where we ate so Chris took my car over there and I took his truck back to work and waited to hear the verdict. By the time I got to the dealership it was time to sign papers. So, it was a surprise but not at the same time. Not that you really wanted the whole story but it was necessary for me to say it was a surprise but not and have you understand why

I'm sorry. I've been a bad girl. Forgive me?

Oh okay, I will forgive you as well

actually Kelly and I were IMing when I posted the picture and asked her if she recognized the shirt. She got it right off. Which is why she didn't say anything here.

Thanks! I'm loving it too

Sorry I really tried to match parks with Kelly as best I could. Do we match on any of them??

I will be up with you thursday morning... You brew the coffee, I will bring the donuts

LOL OK!!! Good luck tomorrow! I'll be putting my results up and hope to see yours also!

Love the new car! And as for the smell.....there are two smells that I think should be bottled and sold...new car (so that it really smells like it- not these sorry attempts that are already out there) and baby (like when you smell the top of their head and suck the life out of them!!) I am not crazy...you all know what I am talking about!!!

I totally agree with you on those smells that need to be bottled up and sold. New car smell....oh man I wish that lasted forever!! The baby smell I'm not familiar with since we have no kids but I'm sure they smell great when they are freshly washed. One day I'll have one of my own and then I"ll know what you're talking about

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

I'm sure they smell great when they are freshly washed.

That made me laugh right out loud!

No one wants to smell a dirty baby!

You are too funny Carla!

That reminds me when I was a director for a corporate child care center there was this cute little baby named Katie in our infant room. "Katie" was a baby name I really loved and it was on my list (you know the list). Then this cute little Katie came along to my center.

And she stunk like dirty feet.

All the time.

They didn't wash up in her wrinkles.

That is why Abby is not named Katie.

The end.

Okay, so these aren't exactly purchased for the trip itself but I just got them and they will both be used for/on our trip so I felt it was appropriate to post about them here so here we go.

First up, I got a Sony Handycam with a 60gb hard drive. Can't wait to really try it out! I'll be using it on Saturday for sure. We got tickets to go to the Bush NASCAR race. I can't wait to see what this thing can do!

It's really tiny so it will be easy to carry around the parks with us

I also got an external hard drive to put my videos on that I didn't take a picture of.

Today, Chris went and traded in my '06 Honda Civic for an '09 Honda Accord EX Coupe. I'm in love!!!

We will be driving this car down to Orlando in December for sure.

So there you have it folks. My major purchases for the week. It's been a good one so far. Hope everyone else is having a great week!

so jealous about the camcorder

and HOLY MOLY BEJEEEZUS!! That car is freakin BEAUTIFUL!! I seriously almost peed my pants (could be all that darn water I've been drinking today to try and get rid of this stupid stone...)

That made me laugh right out loud!

lol thanks girl. I wanted to tell you about it earlier but since you were so down I didn't want it to seem like I was bragging or anything. I hope you pass your stone quickly!!

Love the new car! I'm so jealous of the camcorder. I'd love to have one with a hard drive.

Thanks girl! The camcorder wasn't all that expensive. Give it another few months and the standard definition cam's will come down even more in price.

So, Carla, your ADR day is tomorrow, right?

From what I was told I can't make my ADR's until Saturday. Are you making yours tomorrow??

I think I'm ready for mine. I'm gonna do them all but Le Cellier online. I want Le Cellier for CP so I'm sure they will want a credit card # to hold that.

That's great that you only have to make one. Not much to worry about then

 

[Marshay]

good luck on your ADRs!!

 

[Leger13]

Thanks! I think I may need all the luck I can get

 

[Trentmom]

Good Luck tomorrow

Crossing my fingers, legs and other parts for you!

Congrats on the new vehicle. My mother had a 88 Honda Accord for 20 years. She finally got rid of it last winter.

Can your video cam take HD video too? I've been thinking about a video cam for a while but not sure about the hard drive version. I am afraid every little vibration might cause hesitation during recording. Unlike solid state memory like a SD, CF or memory stick do not subject to vibration.

Good luck on your ADR tomorrow.

Thanks so much Jamie. I think all the luck and crossing worked

Thanks Peter. That's awesome that your mother had that car for so long. Hondas are great vehicles!!

My camera does not take HD video only SD. HD was too expensive for me but it is out there. I tried out my Camcorder for the first time last night and it seems to have done a pretty good job. Didn't have any issues with it. Loved how fast it was to start recording.

thanks!
