I love reading your reports! And then getting the added benefit of your trip with Mo! So much fun. My November Disney trip overlaps a little with both you and Mo and im hoping ill see someone somewhere! My luck is never that good but maybe! Waiting on another auction between now and then. Cant afford a purse of my own with a trip coming up but i like to look.

Eeep... I sure hope we can meet up. I'd love that!

Yes, i need to get moving on those, lol.

I'm glad you had a great trip.
I'm glad to hear the dogs are doing well.
I hope you have a great day in your sewing room.

I called American Airlines and they told me on the phone that I had to buy the checked in luggage on the airport. So I guess I just have to cross my fingers that it's not going to cost me a fortune then.

It shouldn't cost a fortune... I think It's $20 usually if you purchase in advance and $25 if you buy at the airport. That's a bummer that they won't let you purchase now, that makes no sense...

It's good to hear from you Lillian, i hope you are well.

******************************

I had a great day yesterday... Still trying to find my balance in life.

I did my heavy lifting in the morning...

I ate great all day...

I worked in my sewing room...

Played with puppies...

I hope you all have a marvelous weekend. Prayers and pixie dust to all.

I'm glad to hear you had a great day yesterday. I hope today will be great as well.

I'm doing fine. Here it has been raining and around 41ºF all week. I don't mind the cold weather. It's much easier to handle than warm weather.
I'm really looking forward to my USA trip this summer/fall and I can't wait to finally meet you.

Ah, yay, new Cooper pictures! What a cutie and he is getting so big. The picture of him sitting on Max reminded me of how Eddie and Alex used to play when we first got Alex. So if you don't mind me hijacking, I found a few pictures from way back. Alex was just 3 months old in these pictures and he turned 9 years old today!







And when Eddie finally got tired of Alex pestering him, he would just sit on him for a bit!

 

[Hardheadedwoman]

I'm finally caught up! Oh my goodness, Cooper is so adorable!

I just got back from an amazing Dismey trip and planning on writing a TR soon! We also have an upcoming trip in November (first time to Disneyland!) and I signed up to run the WDW Half in January.

Always love reading your updates - reminds me of when I used to have a LiveJournal!

Hope you and your family have a fantastic summer!

[kittylady1972]

Glad you are back and had a great trip. Haven't been over to read the TR yet. Hope you are doing well on your recovery.

We leave in TWO WEEKS!!

Thanks LIssette! We love him too!

So glad to hear your trip was amazing! Ooh and running in WDW in Jan - that is awesome too! WTG!

Hehehe... Sadly - life has been getting in the way of my daily updates... I am lucky if I get to update 2 or 3x per week these days.

Thank you - you too.

By the way, Post Disney Depression is real and it sucks! LOL

Oh - I know it is, it's so hard. It is very real... I hope you are able to pull out of your funk soon... Afterall - you do have another Disney trip to focus on very soon here.

OMG! those Eddie pictures are adorable!!!! LOVE the puppies!

I agree!!!

Glad you are back and had a great trip. Haven't been over to read the TR yet. Hope you are doing well on your recovery.

We leave in TWO WEEKS!!

Yay!!! How exciting!!! I bet you all are getting so excited now that it's so close! How long will you be there again? <--- I can't seem to keep track of everyone's trips. LOL

**********************************************************************************************

It's been a little hectic around here... All work... All play... Not much time to Dis. Sadly.

Cooper is doing great - he is very close to being potty trained... He's only had about 5 accidents in the house since I've been home from Maine. I will be delighted when he is fully potty trained though. He is getting so big and just keeps getting cuter by the day. He is growing on MM, and they both seem to be doing well together. Some moments they love eachother and some moments they hate eachother... True siblings.

The girls are doing great being out of school... Allison is picking up shifts left and right at work... Which means I am driving to town several times per day. Sigh. She has just started her official behind-the-wheel training... She should be done with that by the end of next week... and she will be taking her drivers test at the end of July.

V is mostly home with me... She did apply for a job at Target - but she was auto denied, and hasn't applied again - so I am unsure of what she is planning to do? She is my baby - so I wouldn't mind if she waited until next year to get her first job... I just don't think I am ready for that yet? LOL

Gus is up at school now... I think he is doing well? I think he is coming home this weekend?

Josh is busy with work - as usual.

I am busy with work... And playing taxi... And potty training Cooper. I"ve also been trying very hard to focus on losing my last size or two since I've been home from Mainie... Just - in general - focusing on eating more fruits and veggies and less junk... And really trying not to snack as much. I am feeling good and feeling like I am finally budging a little bit. We'll see...

Otherwise, nothing else is new or exciting... Just boring day-to-day stuff.

I hope all of you are well... I check in from time to time to check replies and watch for Mo to update the Maine portion of her PTR... I get some good laughs from that one - as usual. Miss those girls a ton! Cannot wait to see them again in Nov!

Sending out prayers and pixie dust to all!

D~

 

[solana131]

I was wondering how it was going with Gus. They have such a strong bond. Hopefully it will get them through. And with today's technology it isn't like they can't talk. I remember my college relationship....we hardly had email, much less smartphones with snapchat, skype and facetime. They will be fine. And if they aren't....then it just wasn't meant to be.

Have a great day! Miss you!

 

[Clio]

I'm glad the boys are getting along and that Cooper is almost potty trained.
I think V. should just enjoy her summer. She'll be working the rest of her life anyway.
My daughter and her husband moved into their house last weekend. She still has a lot of stuff here. She took both cats with her. the older one was very angry with her and yelled at her for most of the day. He's settled down since then. It's very quiet around here now.
My neighbor gave me a Singer sewing machine from the 60's. It needs a little love but should work once I'm done. My daughter couldn't understand why I took it. This is from someone with tons of old pyrex.
Have a good day.

[KatMark]

You sound very busy. I am glad everyone is doing well.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Potty training is the pits.. I wish there was a magic wand you can wave around.. The crazy dane will ONLY go outside for Tom and Matt. It's the PITS!

watch for Mo to update the Maine portion of her PTR...

I guess this is a hint???

Miss those girls a ton! Cannot wait to see them again in Nov!

I do miss you guys too...

There are times i really wish we weren't so far away.. But that would take away our really cool adventures if we were in the same cities.. no one wants to read that! HA HA

 

[CaseFace5]

Hi D! Things sound busy with you!! I am busy too so I totally get it! Glad to hear all is well and good luck on the final push to potty train that adorable little Cooper!!!

 

[kittylady1972]

Awww...glad everyone is doing so well. Good luck on dropping your last two sizes. Wish I could drop just one but...I can't seem to give up the bad foods.

Glad Cooper is doing so well. Our next door neighbor is working with her 3 month old yellow lab puppy and man is she a handful. The puppy biting and scratching right now is crazy! She is thankful when my kids are home and come over and wear out her little puppy since that makes her calmer for the evening when her husband gets home.

And to answer, we will be in Disney for 8 nights. We hope to leave really early in the morning (2:30am) for a 14 or so hour drive to Disney. Just over a week later we check out and drive about 9 hours north on our departure day and hang with my parents in southern NC (near where all the recent shark attacks have happened) and have plans to relax with them and possible hit the beach at least one day...maybe only in the really really shallow part though! We'll drive home Sat night or Sunday making our total trip 11-12 days with lots of driving.
Can't wait!

Thanks Lillian! I am having a great week!
Oh - I know it is, it's so hard. It is very real... I hope you are able to pull out of your funk soon... Afterall - you do have another Disney trip to focus on very soon here.

I know! And the fact that Disney mailed us an Aulani brochure a week after we got back (and booking for 2016 was just made available today) isn't making things easier. I told my husband that I should just have our jobs mail our paychecks directly to Disney.
