They just scream sexy

Oh hey I think I have an idea for a sexy Valentines outfit now. And to think I won't be getting my hands on any until I take my 14 year old daughter Kody to see the Jonas Brothers movie at the end of the month. Oh I am so excited.

Hi Everybody

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm giving up the DIS for lent because I'm on this wonderful place at least 8 times a day. I always give up things that become habit to me and his is definitely one of them.

Officially I'm giving up the DIS, Youtube, Blogger, chocolate, and soda. SOOO starting the 25th, you will not see me on here

I will be giving little updates on Twitter though, if anyone is interested = http://twitter.com/jazziebabycakes

You'll be back after that, though, right? You're not abandoning us forever, I hope! We need pictures and Trip Reports.....and exclamation points!!!!!!!

Oh I'll definitely come back with PLENTY of exclamation points !!


No worries, I'll probably go crazy after the first 2 days. Its going to be toooorture! I'll probably be gabbing with you for days when I get back on here

 

[merrrydeath]

I have no idea how you're going to give this up. I can't even comprehend that...

I know. Its ridiculous. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. I think I'm in the denial stage

I have great news !!!

I just had class yesterday and overheard my teacher saying that our class will end early. "Early?" I said. He said "Yes, and there is no final on the scheduled finals day."

WOOO. This means for my birthday weekend, I can go for more than just on Saturday & Sunday. I'm going to DLR for a full weekend: Friday - Sunday. YESSS! SWEEEET! I'm so stoked, its ridiculous

Woo hoo!! That's great! I LOVE those DLR trips where you can get in a full Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I always feel as if I have missed a bunch of stuff if I am only in there for two days or even a day and a half, which I have done. I much prefer the 3-day extravanganzas. And is this the trip where you are staying at the DLH too, or is the DLH the other May trip? Actually, I have thought about it before and wondered how much time would be a perfect trip length for me, because I never get everything accomplished that I would like, but I don't like to run myself into the ground and burn out either. So it is nice to have a mix of being active and relaxing over a set number of days. But how many days? I wonder if I had 4 nights and 5 days in the park, could I get everything done. Probably not. I am guessing that if I were taking time to shop, take pictures, eat, ride things, looks for hidden details, find Hidden Mickeys, rest, explore Downtown Disney, explore the hotels and watch any shows or entertainment, I would probably need a full week, I think, to be able to get everything done AND rest so I don't burn out.

How much time do you think would be your ideal length of a DLR visit, Jasmine? Like if you had all the money you needed and could get off work with no trouble, how much time would be ideal for you at DLR? You do take a LOT of photos, so you would need a huge chunk of time just for that!

I KNOW I'm so happy!! This is not the trip at DLH, this is the one before that one. Actually, my cousin is not so sure where his friend's time share is so I need to get him to give me more info. The problem with that is he just interviewed for a new job at Lockeed Martin sooo we might not be able to go on vacation because he can't ask for time off right when he starts a job. We'll see how that goes! If the trip doesn't happen it will be alright because we might go in July because Rj, my dad, and TheAXIOM's birthday is in the same week. We might go for their birthday as well.

I've actually done 5 days 4 nights with Eric about 2 years ago in July. We stayed at the DLH that time and it was fantastic. We got on most of the rides midway through the trip and were very leisurely about everything. It was very strange taking our time to experience everything, but it was also very relaxing. In fact, by the end of the trip we went on pirates about 15 times. I would say that it was the perfect amount of time. Although, I was not photographing then, so who knows. It might not be enough time at ALL. Eric paid for almost all of that trip and it was a big chunk of our money because we ate whatever we wanted and did not pay attention to price. It was great to do that, but I also felt guilty at the same time.

I guess for me (if it was a summer trip) I would say 6 days 5 nights. If it was during the winter 5 days 4 nights. How about you ? What do you think ?

When are the July birthdays? My birthday is in July, and I am still on the fence about whether or not I will bother going and getting the Fun Card, but if it happens to be around when you guys are there, I definitely don't want to miss you!

The trip you and Eric made two years ago where you had 5 days wasn't the trip where he proposed to you and you got food poisoning, was it? You said that engagement trip was four years ago, right? Or am I getting them all confused? There is only one way to solve this puzzle - you will have to post your PICTURES of all of these fun DLR trips in the past decade so I can see what was happening!!!! It would be fun to see a picture of you on the DLR trip before Eric proposed, and then see one from after he proposed - so I can see if it looks like there is a difference in your expression or if you are 'glowing'!!

I am still on the fence about how much time I would 'need' on a DLR to be able to do everything I wanted at a leisurely pace, not feel like I missed anything and not get burnt out. I think I would opt for a slightly longer trip in the winter, around the holidays. I just love that chilly weather and the holilday decorations/atmosphere. I would pick a shorter trip ifor summer or Fall/Halloweentime. I could probably spend a good week at DLR - partially by myself and partially with friends - and have enough time to do everything. I like to really roam around and look at everything in all the hotels and in the shops that are often overlooked, and that can take quite a bit of time. There is something to be said for being able to go at your own pace and not being rushed. You catch so many more things and hidden details that way. I think that's why most of us miss so many of those little gems in the parks - because we are always on a time crunch and have to get a certain list of things done in a certain limited period of time. But when I had time to wander around ToonTown in December, by myself, before too many people got in there, I was surprised at how many things I was seeing that I had forgotten about or overlooked.

That is one thing I do wish I could have done on the past two trips; wander slowly and just enjoy all those hidden treasures you don't see when you're trying to get on as many rides as possible. The week long trip that Eric & I took was after we were engaged. It was really nice to be able to take our time and just enjoy the place together. I can't say it is my favorite trip because every trip is always my favorite trip, but it was absolutely heaven to just be there the two of us =) When I get the time to rummage through old files on my external drive, I'll definitely post pictures!

Happy Valentine's Day EVERYONE!

I'm not really HUGE on Valentine's Day and either is Eric, but we always do try to do something together. We ended up going out to dinner and it was pretty fun because we went to a korean bbq place where you cook It was a lot of fun!

Not only did he take me out to dinner, but he got me the most fantastic presents! He got me the rest of the vinylmation pins I don't have!!!, The Disneyland Encyclopedia, Disney Dollars, CHOCOLATE!, and an itunes card He is so fantastic, I LOVE HIM.

 

[mariezp]

Wow Jasmine! He sounds like a real keeper! Pretty great guy indulging you in your Disney mania.

Sounds like there are quite a few July birthday people dropping in. I am another one! And I like exclamation points too!!!! Any connection here? I wonder, hmmmm........

Glad you are only going to be temporarily gone. I thought maybe you were playing an April's fool joke on us when you said you were giving up the board! I know what you mean about it taking up a good portion of your day. It's probably a good thing that I am busy most of the time or I would probably be here all day myself!

It sounds like your trip is shaping up to be great. How lucky that you got to add an extra day!

 

[Sherry E]

Marie, when is your birthday? I am July 21st.

Jasmine, those sounds like the best gifts - forget Valentine's Day, just gifts in general - EVER!! I like to do fun stuff and get cute things for Valentine's Day when I can because it is another fun holiday and I like holidays. But it is not a big deal to a lot of couples I know (maybe because their partners don't ever want to do anything for it). It sounds like Eric really went all out for you and gave you some great gifts that he KNEW you would love! That's the thing - it is the thought that counts, and when you can see that someone really put thought into what the person would like rather than just handing them some sort of gift that will never be used, that makes it all the more special. He definitely sounds like a very nice, thoughtful guy!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Wooo!! Eric rocks!!!

I want the Disneyland Encyclopedia. I think I'm going to order it from Borders.com. I always get coupons from them. And they never have any Disneyland books at the store near me.

Yay! Are you getting excited! May is coming up!! It's still way too long. I'm getting sad because it's so far away!!

 

[Sherry E]

I have to get that Encyclopedia too. I have a really cool hardback Encyclopedia of Disney Characters - but it's about 15 years old and therefore, is irrelevant now because there have been updates and additions to the character list! Isn't that terrible? I was so into collecting all my nice Disney coffee table books for a while, and most of them are outdated now and I will have to get all new ones. Crap.

But I want that Disneyland Encyclopedia. I seem to always have discounts for Amazon - maybe I can find it there. Of course, if I stay patient and wait until my birthday and go to DLR and get the Fun Card, I can probabaly get the Encyclopedia in one of the stores - like in Disneyana, for example - for free....or almost free! Maybe that is what I will do. I will wait until July and get the book then.

 

[merrrydeath]

I know. Its ridiculous. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. I think I'm in the denial stage

Well good luck! I'm sure everyone will cheer you on since we aren't the ones who have to try and quit

Haha I know, us exclamation point addicts over here!! No, no joke, I am all serious business when it comes to lent. I'm kind of sad that I won't be able to chat with all of you guys because I really will miss it. Everyone out in the real world isn't as nice as all of you are.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, it is the small things that count and he does that ALL the time. He's just that kind of guy. He even knows little things that make my cousins or my mom & dad happy and buy them small things because he saw something and thought of them He rocckkkkssss.

Wooo!! Eric rocks!!!

Yay! Are you getting excited! May is coming up!! It's still way too long. I'm getting sad because it's so far away!!

So far, I LOOOOVE the encyclopedia. Such wonderful information that I didn't know. Its fantastic. I'm getting excited about going for my birthday more and more. Although, it being so far away, distractions are always entering my mind and sidetracking me from my excitement. I am though having constant dreams that I am at Disneyland. Its fantastic, but then I wake up HAHA. Are YOU excited ?

I have to get that Encyclopedia too. I have a really cool hardback Encyclopedia of Disney Characters - but it's about 15 years old and therefore, is irrelevant now because there have been updates and additions to the character list! Isn't that terrible? I was so into collecting all my nice Disney coffee table books for a while, and most of them are outdated now and I will have to get all new ones. Crap.

Maybe that is what I will do. I will wait until July and get the book then.

OOO. The hardback of Disney Characters sounds fantastic, even if it is 15 years old! My parents got me a hard cover of disney movie stories with some artwork in it from the films, but being the total lame-o that I am, I drew all over it. What a loser! I always want to buy books when I'm at DLR, but I have a feeling that it is probably cheaper getting them online!

Well good luck! I'm sure everyone will cheer you on since we aren't the ones who have to try and quit

Thank you It will be trying, but I'll enjoy the conversations when I get back on here. It will be closer to the date of my trip by the time I get back, so it will definitely be a good chat with everyone before I go !
