Do you know how long the $5 Target card offer lasts? I am trying to pay down the June trip but I still need to keep some money for regular weekly expenses. I can't blame you for wanting to try and pay for V's trip with the offer. I feel the same way. It seems too good a deal to pass up, but unfortunately, there are too many other expenses that come first.
It goes through Saturday business close… I totally agree… If only I could skip all of my other bills. LOL
You can delete them, I had some duplicate ride photos that I got rid of. I think I just hovered over the photo and a delete button popped up. Or maybe I right clicked on the photo. I can't remember for sure now. But I could not find a way to delete more than one at a time so that could be quite tedious as I'm sure you have a lot. I would try calling tech support and see if they can do a mass delete for you once you download.
Yes – I have over 700 in there now… That would get to be a little tedious… I may try to email them, they are always super helpful, and I am sure it can be done.
Once you download the pictures from the last trip, I would contact disney tech and see if there is any way to delete the pictures. Are you sure that all the pictures stay for a year? With the regular photopass not the AP one, i know the pictures expired.
I think I will do that. Yes – because I have an AP, my expiration date on each picture is one year from the date the photo was taken… So, there is a date of November 2016 on all of my pictures.
That is annoying. Wow, depending on how many PP pictures you take on Allison and V's trips, you could end up with A LOT of pictures for the year.
Good luck with the custom order, and enjoy this beautiful day!
Yah – right now, as it is, I am having to spend so much time scrolling to the bottom of each page to edit… Hopefully PP can just delete what is on there now and I can start new in January?
Thanks – I made good progress… Hoping for more progress today.
The V story is hilarious! I am sure she was thrilled to have it back, whatever the condition.
I have been away for a couple days. So, gift ideas for teen girls. Well, when Marissa had her trip planned for Ireland, I wanted to get her some new luggage that was just hers and that she could then take to college and not be ashamed. With your trips to WDW, Allison might already have a nice set. This Christmas, since Marissa has moved out, she is getting some of the stuff that she has been living without, because she had always used mine, such as hairdryer and curling iron/straightener. She asked for an actual watch, because she gets tired of having to refer to her phone. I think that one is kind of funny. I think the VB backpack is a good idea. I wish I had thought ahead about the dorm living, but she wasn't even sure at that time if she would get into this house and how much room she would have. Marissa says her room is probably least decorated, that all the other rooms look like Pinterest show rooms. She also wants boot socks (stocking stuffer). However, graduation is coming up too, so some of that stuff can be saved for then. I wish I had more suggestions for V. Marissa loves the Uniqlo jacket. They are very lightweight (sort out of the sleeping bag material). You can stuff it in a little tiny bag and carry it in your backpack or purse. Chelsea has one and it is super warm and if you want you can layer it. I need to get one for Marissa.
Sorry you are suffering from small Christmas tree syndrome. Once it is decorated, it is going to look beautiful, plus, you only have 2 weeks before Christmas, so not a lot of time to have to look at it, if you really end up not liking it.
I hope the nursing home calls and offers Allison the job.
Great job on the Disney GCs!
She was – LOL I still chuckle when I think about it.
You have some excellent ideas – I may have to run out to see if I can find some good luggage for her?

I know she will use it if she has it.
Yah – it’s still not up… Long story – I will tell below. Sigh.
Me too – thanks!!! I sure hope she hears something back soon.
Thanks – I was impressed with myself… I had to do a lot of driving – but I was happy that I was able to get what I needed.
But did V wear the shirt?
Hahaha… Yes, yes she did. Proudly.
Sounds like you had a good day yesterday
How great that you got all your Photopass photo edited. It sounds like a good idea to contact them and ask if it's possible to don't see the pictures you have downloaded from the site.
The lady that has my wheel case at NAV called me back yesterday, but she didn't have any good news for me

She is waiting for some documentation on some tests from the firm that imports the wheel to Norway. I mailed the film last evening and asked them if they know when they will have the documents and send them to NAV. I haven't heard from them yet and now the time is about 8.30pm, so I don't think I will hear from them today. I really hope I hear from them tomorrow AND that they have some good news for me.
Yes – hopefully they can help me out.
I hope you hear something back today – I know it’s hard to wait on someone else.
I shopped at two different Target stores today and both of them gave the $5 Target gift card if you bought two $50 Disney gift cards, not the $25 Disney cards. In fact, they didn't even have the $25 cards in the store. And the sale sign states that you have to buy two $50 cards. So I guess we don't get the super deal that you are getting. But I am still thrilled to get the $5 Target gift cards.
My guess is that the stores in your area are out of the $25 Disney GCs? Target only carries them during the holidays in the $25 denomination… I know – when I went out on Tuesday, I had to go to 3 different stores to get as many as I needed for the best deal… So, it’s possible they are just sold out for the season. I was kind of worried that would happen – since I was having issues already on Tuesday. I am glad you were able to get the $50s though – that is better than nothing.
********************************************************************************
I had a pretty decent day yesterday – as usual, I worked out right away in the morning.
Then, I decided I better try to get a few of my $25 Disney GCs combined… I am glad I did – because the first 2 I tried didn’t work.

Because of that – I went through all of them… I was really worried that Target wouldn’t exchange them, because I had to scratch off the back to reveal the numbers – so then I was out $50. But after an hour of adding GC numbers – I tried those first two again, and they worked. Crisis averted. In all of my years doing GCs to pay for my trips – only one time have I had a dud card… and thankfully Target exchanged it without much trouble – even though it was partially scratched off on the back…. Because of that, I always try to check the balances of the cards a day or two after buying them, sometimes it takes that long for them to be “activated”.
Anyways – doing all of the GCs put me a little behind for starting work yesterday – but I did get up there and I did make a good amount of progress.
Allison had a Dr. appt. after school yesterday – so I had to run to town.
We came home to wait for the delivery truck… Long story short – Josh’s dad sold his house in ND… Josh went up last weekend to help him pack up some stuff… In the process – he gave Josh one of his “curio cabinets” and his spare front loader washer/dryer sets. If you knew Josh’s dad – you’d know that he does NOTHING small – ever. We were expecting a moving truck to pull up with our delivery… Which was actually a FULL size 18 wheeler… And this “little” curio cabinet I was expecting is actually 5’ wide by 7’ tall… Sigh… It barely fit into our house! The Lord only knows what we will do with the washer/dryer set… I told Josh when our dryer died a few years ago – I refused (
refused) to buy a front loader anything, because they are just crap… Anyone I know of that has had one, had had to replace it with in a few years because there are always issues with them – some of them pretty major… So, NO – I will not replace my perfectly good top loaders for these. For the time being – this new set with go into storage, and it will likely go on to Craigslist or donated to someone who needs it. Sigh.
Anyways… Taking on this delivery and trying to find a spot to put this new curio cabinet – prompted the entire dissection of our living room last night… Including our built in TV entertainment center… Which was literally built in. But we had to move it, because there was no other place to put the curio due to it’s size… Ugh – I am still not happy with it’s location –or the location that the rest of our furniture is forced to be put in… It does not look organized or nice at all. Well – the new entertainment wall looks nice – but that’s about it. We will have to buy a new entertainment console – because we have nowhere to store our massive DVD collection – which will have to be sorted and whittled down too. Sigh – why do we have to do some sort of big project every year before we put up the tree?
Here we are in the curio… Yah – it’s massive. For the record… When I mentioned to Josh a few weeks ago that I wanted a curio cabinet to move my doll collection into, so I could then put my Grandmother’s China in the China cabinet… I was thinking a SMALL corner curio – my doll collection is very small.
So, yup… The tree isn’t up yet. But we have the perfect spot for it now – so that’s progress, I guess. The tree WILL be going up this weekend – preferably tonight.
I have a busy day ahead of me today…
I’ll be working out – but before I can work out, I have to move everything from the living room that we put in the office last night, out of the office and back into the living room – or I won’t have the physical space to work out. Sigh. That seems to be my lot in life – and it’s tiring… Everyone loves to just shove everything they can into the office – but if I want to work out, I am the one stuck cleaning it out. It’s really annoying and seems to happen to me, at least once per week.
Then I will be upstairs appliqueing all day… I hope to finish the applique, and maybe get a start on final assembly today too.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Prayers and good thoughts to all!
