Oh Yay!!! Karen's here!! Karen's here!!!

Yes, if nothing else, I am a LOYAL follower!!! I like the idea of the "neverending pretrip report" but understand if you don't feel much like posting! I'm just glad to know you are ok. I keep checking out your Project 365 and you are on Facebook every once in a while....

And I LOVE THE TIE DYES!! Ok, I do have a question for you....what do you do with the extra dye once you're done with your shirts? I always seem to have a lot left over and hate to waste it! although, you seem to do more than the one at a time that I do, so maybe that's the secret???

Anyways, glad you are still "lurking"......

I'm still sticking around, too. The shirts look great!

Thanks Ann! You'll have to ask crazyforgoofy about that, she's the one that has all the dye and I think she keeps it for a bit if there is extra, but usually we dye a ton of stuff to try and use it all up! This time I ran out of time, so we didn't, I'm guessing she has it all in the sqeezebottles just sitting there still!

Thanks! I'm glad I'm not talking to myself, although that wouldn't really be out of character. I prefer an audience, anyone who knows me in person will tell you that!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

I'm still here! Awesome shirts! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you for November!

 

[donaldsgal]

I'm here, too! Hang in there, Karen! Think how wonderful Disney will be when you DO make it back - absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that jazz.

I'm sorry you're feeling so discouraged. I can imagine the Dis is a tough place when you feel like it'll never be your turn!
Love the shirts. I really wish I were better at that kind of thing....

I think I'm going to throw in the towel for now. I'm fairly positive that unless we win the lottery (which is very hard to do when you don't play!) that we won't go in November. I thought about planning a trip at the end of January, but I don't think we will have the money then either. It's a neverending battle and his old work really put us in a hole that is going to take months to get out of.

So, I just wanted to say goodbye to my PTR, I'll be reading still and cheering on Hope, I'm so excited for her trip!! Disney isn't going anywhere and we do still have our dreams...but dreams sometimes take time. We'll get back there someday!

A bittersweet ending to a really fun (and colorful) PTR. I look forward to when you can go back. Until then, enjoy your family, your friends, and your dreams! They're half the fun of life, anyway!

 

[DrMomof3]

I'm sorry.

OK, I can't do it! I can't give up, it's just not how I am! Anyone will tell you that I'm a persistent....ahem...and I just don't know how to stop when I want something.

So, I'm doing the neverending trip report it seems! I decided that I'm going to pinch pennies and dig in my heals and find a way to try and make the end of Jan. 2011 work for us! It's homeschool days at WDW, so we can get great discounted tickets and we will rent a cheap house or townhouse and eat lots of our meals there. Never say die, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

[Victoriasmom98]

OH YEAH!! KAREN'S BACK!!! OH YEAH!!! SHE'S BACK.......I am sooooo happy you decided to do the neverending report!!! I miss your posts!!! I know you will find a way to make it work!!! Your love of all things Disney will make it happen!!

Besides, I'm still waiting to read about your Toy Story 3 day!!

Yay for Januay 2011

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I didn't take any pictures of our Toy Story day b/c we just met at the movie theater, so we didn't have any of our elaborate table set-ups. The movie was GREAT! We all loved it and I think all of us cried at some point. I know that Savannah is more into Toy Story than ever now and I was all nostalgic b/c my boys used to LOVE Toy Story and now they are all grown up like Andy! *sob* Dylan turns 16 in just 2 weeks!!!!!

Today I'm getting quotes on rentals offsite, this will be MUCH cheaper for us, since there will be 5 or 6 of us (I'll tell you about THAT later!) and we not only save on lodging, but can eat at the house twice a day and just have 1 special meal each day in the parks. I have found a few places that might work and the house we stayed in last year offered me a discount!

I think I really should be a WDW planner or something, even if I don't get to go on these trips, I love the planning!

 

[crazyforgoofy]

for a January trip even though it will mean I won't be there to speak in fake accents, swill scads of margaritas with you and benefit from your mad planning skills.

for no trip in November with speaking in fake accents, no swilling scads of margaritas and no bennies of your mad planning skills.


are you certain I can't convince you to go in December when Christmas will be in full tilt???

Seriously, you know how I feel about vacation time and family.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Going at the end of Jan. gives me some more time to try and make this work and leaving in December just doesn't work for my petsitting. Last year I didn't have a single day without a petsit between Thanksgiving and Christmas! BUT...that's good news b/c it means money for WDW!

How about your girl? Would you be willing to part with her at the end of Jan? She would have a blast with Savannah. You and your man could head to the beach for that big Anniversary trip...ALONE!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

and don't worry...we'll go back again together someday for fake accents and lotsa margarita's! Remember I told Savannah I would take her an a couple friends for her 16th birthday...I'll have to bring a friend for that as well!

 

[crazyforgoofy]

Don't kid me. If you don't break this Mickey addiction you're bound to go back before Savannah turn 16. And I know I'll convince you to throw caution (and petsitting gigs) to the wind someday and go during in the first two weeks of December.

I know how to tempt your addiction. <insert evil laugh here>
