I know! I saw that after I posted .......and I said "steamy" in the same post



Haaaaay

I'm pretty sure that free dining package is available to anyone!

 

[lakehead92]

Hmm. . . maybe I should jump on this and then go in May next year instead of January!!

Yeah right, 2 trips with temps in the 90's - DH & the kids would not be happy!

I happen to LOVE that idea... come on Shelly... MayMayMayMay... can you hear me chanting...lol

Tell you sons, there would be another boy their own age they can meet, who is a big Star Wars fan too. Would that help swing them.

Hoping the Gators get out to Pasadena for the NC this year!!!!
I'd love to come!

There's nothing better than a HoP nap in the middle of a steamy day.

[lakehead92]

I can understand some of Trixie's husbands thoughts...

Guys are busy all day long, talking about work, dealing with work, dealing with problems, fixing things, breaking things, resolving issues, etc. So when they come home, they really don't want to hear about your day and your problems or concerns. They figure that you have a job and he has a job. He is finished with his job for the day now. He is worn out and talked out. Most guys say about 15,000 words a day, women say about 25,000 words a day. He has used up all of his word count for the day, you still have 10,000 to go. So how do you get around this? You have to set aside a time, a appointment to talk. Guys think in time slots. Don't hit him with 50 different things during your appointment, just 2 or 3, then setup another time slot. Give him time to think, respond and act. What you are doing here is building a way to get things done between the both of you without emotionally draining each other by having spontaneous arguments.

More to come...

You've got great insight. How should Trix plead her case????????

okay everyone... enjoy your evening.

I'm off to give some more of my money to Disney ..and to get a tree planted.

I'll give you my full review of the movie when I get back ok.

happy chatting...

What draws a guy to the beach? The hot girls in the bikinis!!! LOL! Seriously, it is very relaxing experience. A very sensory experience too, the sand in between your toes, the warm sun in your face, the smell of sea water and fresh air, it is pleasant to watch and to be in the waves of the blue/green water. I could spend hours and hours just hanging at the beach and pier just hanging around. It doesn't demand action or response from you, you just enjoy it. I get the same feeling when I am in the mountains or at a lake, but the beach is much more relaxing to me. So my point is what??? Guys like their trips/vacations/getaways that have no demands on them. They want to get away from it all kind of routine or scheduling...they get that at home and work.

More later...

Have fun at the movie!

I'm off to get the kiddos!

Hey I wonder how much longer the DIS will allow the DVC rent/trade to go on. . .

Good question. Money certainly changes hands...a lot more than photopass shares!!!

OMG I just got another Disney email. . . . 5 nights/6 days 8/16-10/03 Free dining $1390 for a family of 4!

I got that one, too, but I think those were always the dates for Free Dining. It just gets me thinking again.... Which is exactly why "they" sent the e-mail out again!

Yesterday, I was between seminars and was reading our thread on my BlackBerry and read all of what you wrote about Trixie's hubby, trying to figure him out and why he thinks that way. I had a couple of good insights and laughs of watching you gals hash this all out, trying to figure out ways to agree into more trips to WDW. TBC...

I do want to make it clear that I'm not trying to trick DH...I just really want to understand what he's thinking. I do want another trip, but I want him to want it too, you know?

I wonder how many words I type on the DIS every day???

He definitely has never been one to have long conversations. He's the kind of person who has to think about what they're going to say before they say it. I just start talking and figure it out as I go! By the end of my ramblings, I've figured everything out!

That's why I'm trying to ask him a couple of questions each time we talk, that way he can think about it until the next time I bring it up.

LOL! I am totally the dude in my relationship

Bob wants every detail of my day And when he try's to tell me all the crap he put up with all day I'm like

But in my head I'm thinking about what I want to watch on TV that night or what I want to go tonight at the gym

I'm bad at that game

DH is a total beach guy. They moved to the beach when he was a kid, and he's never looked back. He surfs (yes, in Michigan), sails, windsurfs, wakeboards, fishes, we have a boat, and now he's looking into kiteboarding before he gets too old (that's gonna cost me a chunk of change!).

I agree with you about the whole needing to relax thing, and I hadn't thought about it that way before.

Thanks...and keep talking...we need all the insight we can get!

 

[trixiequilts]

Here's the view from DH's parents' driveway...the view from the deck is better, but I don't have any pics for some reason.



Looking to the right just a bit...

Looking straight...

Beautiful pix Trixie! I would just love to be that close all the time to the water. We have a favorite hotel we go to in Pismo Beach and we just love to open the doors and windows and let all the sea air into the room and take a nap. Your pix reminded how nice it is do that.
