Two Chicks and...a Mouse!~ADRs, a wedding, and Property Virgins? 9.25.09

[Disneyfan71]

Yeah, that is the single from her new CD. The whole cd is very good, if you are interested in listening to it!

Yes I'm interested in listening to it I have Rhapsody and once I get money in my account, I'll have to listen to it.

I know you're excited about TBM!!! How much longer before you leave for Texas? What part of TX are you going to? I don't think I remember seeing it.

Oh...I registered for the bartending class--I start Monday YAY!! So I won't be around much during the day. Good luck on TBM and PM me if you need anything.

No, but I will check it out! I love the MercyMe compilation. And MercyMe themselves. The lead singer of Caedmon's Call does have a really great voice. I got to see them live once when they opened for Jars of Clay. I have a friend (well, exBF to be honest) who sings exactly like him.

I LOVE Jars of Clay. We go to see the Christmas concert they did with Third Day. We got all their autographs on their Christmas CD. They crack me up. College days are long past but DH and I used to be into Phish, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead among many others but sometimes Jars of Clay reminds me of that kind of vibe...

Laugh at your Backstreet Boys? NEVER! DIE-hard N'SYNC fan right here!! When I was in middle school, it was practically all I listened to. And, when their "greatest hits" cd came out a few years ago, Kelly and I had a mini-dance party at her place. It's true. Not ashamed, at all. I think I am going to go download Rock the Casbah. I love the Clash, but I don't have that one. Fall Out Boy too.

I will def. post some more songs from my playlist. I love swapping tunes!

Oh, I'm so glad that you understand. I remember my dad calling them the "Back Door Boys" one time and I was so offended!! I'm probably going to have to check out that greatest hits CD on iTunes...I still have some credit on there from gift cards I got for Christmas... I'm going to start making a list of songs that I see on here to find on iTunes.

I forgot to add "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen in my last post -- it is probably one of the most played songs on my "on the go" playlist (and probably one of the top played songs on my whole iPod) -- it's soooo much fun to sing along to.

 

[jewels1916]

Well...you already gave notice right? What's the worst they could do?

Haha. Possibly?!

It is pretty good. The guy in the video is Stephen Colletti from Laguna Beach..I don't know if you ever watched that show. But, I think that Stephen should've been in the "Hey Stephen" song video instead of this one!

Y'all are crackin' me up!

The packing has commenced!

Well, my roommates are moving out this weekend. Can't say that I am completely sad to see them go, to be honest. I live with an engaged couple and it isn't really very fun. Bleh.

Anyway, since some of the bookshelves in the common areas of the apartment belong to them, I've started packing up a few of my things. I've filled three boxes of books and dvds right now, and still have some books and dvds not packed yet. This is going to take a while. Anyway, once the roomies are out, I will have a completely empty second bedroom where I can stack boxes and other packing materials. I can't handle clutter everywhere, so having my place torn apart like this is really giving me a hard time. It affects my sleeping habits, among other things. Having a place to contain the clutter will make TBM so much easier.
Also on my to-do list for the weekend are:
1) Call comcast to discuss cancellation of service
2) Call power company to discuss cancellation of service
3) Clean out the inside of my car
4) Continue packing

Sounds like a super fun weekend, doesn't it?

In Disney news, Kelly and I are coming up with a few different plans based on different dates and possible discounts that may or may not be available in early December. It's become somewhat of a resort roulette game for us. More details on this later!

Hope you all have a fantabulous weekend, and I am off to tackle some more boxes!

 

[tinkerbell87512]

yay for packing! That means its so close now! Good luck this weekend with the packing and I know what you mean about the clutter.

 

[Megablocks]

I am with you on not being able to deal with clutter -- it drives me CRAZY. My BF helped me rearrange my room a month and a half ago, so I had to take things off my shelves, my dresser, and my desk, and had all that crap on my bed and on the floor. Then, of course, when we were moving things, everything was everywhere and UGH. It drove me insane. When everything was moved, I had to put everything back in its place, and he kept on asking me why I couldn't just move only the stuff on my bed and put everything back the next day, but I wouldn't have been able to sleep knowing that all that STUFF was still there. I would have been up in the middle of the night putting it all back.

Good luck with all the packing! And I can't wait to hear more about the resort roulette.

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Ok, so I read your whole pre-trippie at work yesterday but didn't comment yet. (I try not to log in on my work computer so they don't think I'm playing around on here too much. )

That's so awesome you're doing a trip with your best friend!

Where in TX are you moving to?? Happen to be in the DFW area? (This is where you say yes so that I can have a fellow DIS'er around!)

 

[jewels1916]

yay for packing! That means its so close now! Good luck this weekend with the packing and I know what you mean about the clutter.

Thanks! I know, it is coming up so soon. I think I only have two full weeks of work left!

Ha ha, thanks! Yeah, it's still a huge clutter, and I think I have just decided that it is going to stay that way until I am done packing. My bedroom at least is clean. If I keep that uncluttered for as long as possible, it will be a little better, so that I have somewhere I can escape to. And I will update with resort roulette as soon as soon as we get details ironed out!

Hi Heather! to the fray! (this is where I say YES, I am infact moving to the DFW area). Think Grapevine Mills Mall area. Yay for DFWDisers!!

I am well aquainted with packing and it's associated clutter.

The good news is that as you keep packing, there is less and less clutter! Especially if you have a room that you can put it all in.

One of the best things I do when packing for a move is to keep a running inventory of the boxes. I don't know how you mark your boxes, but I number mine and I make little notes of key items and what numbered box they go in. I keep it in my moving folder or whatever thing you are using to track all the paperwork/phone calls associated with moving. Like calling comcast, etc, getting the reference numbers for ending service, etc.

Even if you label your boxes by room, it helps to add a number to the room so that you can find those things that you really really want to find on the other end. Cuts down on so much clutter when you are unpacking.

Yay, for having no roommates as you deal with it all.

If you haven't already, it's a worthy investment to get a pack of decent paper/plastic plates, bowls, and cups. It helps to face the kitchen blues of packing! Oh! And those microwaveable bags for cooking veggies? They have a Ziploc brand. They are pretty good. They work. Sometimes they overcook, but in general, that's a great time/cleaning saver too.

I can't wait to hear the resort news!

 

[Enchanted]

Hey, Courtney! Hi, Kelly! Loving the PTR!!!! I would love to go to WDW with just one of my girlfriends! You guys are going to have a blast, I'm sure! We went this past November, and the Christmas decorations were sooooo pretty!

Courtney - Good luck on your move! That's great that you'll be back "home" and just a few minutes from Kelly again! I understand hating the actual moving part though. We moved something like seven times before I was sixteen, once from Tennessee to Ohio, so I know where you're coming from. I currently still live with my parents, and I dread the day I move out just because it means I'll have to pack (and ultimately unpack) another stinkin' box.

The pictures of your family wearing the hats are so cute! Your poor dad! We have pictures from one year where everyone's wearing hats (and wigs!) in almost every photo. Like you, we didn't realize it until we got home!

I love your road trip playlist! I own just about every song on it. And Taylor Swift=awesomeness. She rocks!

Kelly - Aw, your fiance sounds like such a sweetheart! I want a guy who would send out for the planning video on his own! You nabbed one of the good ones, girl!

Good luck with all of your wedding planning! I can't remember, did you say you'd found your dress yet? I'd love to see pictures of it once you pick it out or if you already have it. Like Jack Sparrow says, "Weddings? I love weddings!!!! Drinks all around!!!"

Can't wait for more!!!

I just bought some paper/plastic dinnerware last night.
My packing system is fairly organized, it has to be since I am moving into my parents house for while and a lot of my things will be going into storage. So everything is being labled with a room (ie, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) and if it is either storage, or home. Plus, I am kinda weird about not mixing things between rooms when I pack....yeah.

Thanks for the advice! I can't believe it is coming up so soon!

Hey girl! Glad to see you made it over! Ha ha. I am moving into my parents' house too. I hate the moving part too. Bleh. Or the packing part, at least. The roadtrip part will be fun, I think. I like roadtrips, and yes, I have an awesome playlist for it!

 

[jewels1916]

I am in need of some advice from all of my lovely Dis friends! I have been growing my hair out since...ah, I can't even remember when, it's been such a long time now. Anyway, my hair is now longer than it has been since high school. And it's driving me crazy. As I told Kelly, it's driving me crazy with a capital Z, craZy! Why did I grow it out? I don't really know. Sometimes I think I will look better with longer hair. But then, once it is longer, I realize that it is just too dang thick and heavy to keep this long. So, it winds up in a ponytail no matter what I am doing. Even at work. Not even a nice ponytail, at that, right now it is in a messy bun. That's right. Because of how thick it is, when it is long like this, it only looks good when it is washed, blown dry, and curled. Otherwise it kinks up from hitting my shoulders and and blades. Plus, doing all of this takes a very long time. Hence the usual ponytail. Anyway, I am just about to my breaking point with it when I will chop it off and start the whole process all over again. So I need your opinion on style!! I have a really round face, which makes it hard to find hairstyles that complement that very well. But I've found a few, and I would really like all y'all's (oh yeah, Texan through and through) opinions!!

Ok, this is the first one. I don't know, it's a little longer than I usually do when I chop my hair all off, but again, with my round face, isn't longer usually better?

This one is interesting...I like wearing my hair straight. My mother on the other hand does not. But my hair is like straight brown sticks, but it holds a curl really well, so I could do a lot with this one.

I think this one is my favorite, and also probably one of the least likely. Just because rounding my hair around my face like that can tend to make it look more round than it is. But still...I think it might be my favorite.

This is different than anything I've ever done before, but I think it's cute. doesn't round out so much around the cheeks, and I also like the kind of side swept look.

This one is cute, if I were to go this way I would probably leave it a little longer in the front, again, cause my face is fuller. I like it, but not as much as some of the other ones.

This one is cute and simple, and looks the easiest to handle. Also, the girl in this photo has a round face like mine, so clearly that wouldn't be a problem. My only qualm is wondering if I would be able to pull it back. Since I like to work out, would I be able to pull it back into a ponytail to keep it off my face and neck?

Those are my options, and I would really love to get some feedback from you guys as to what you think!!
Thanks!!
Courtney

 

[TxRabbit]

It sounds like we have really similar hair. Thick and heavy. I like the second one. It's got a lot of layers and the thinning sheers could really easily be used with it. The stylist could probably pick the best length for your face shape. Having the longer layers would make it easier to pull up and off your neck for working out, or any other time, and you could still have some cute wisps around your face. And you could just use those flat clips to pull it back more when you are working out.

Most of the others don't seem to be a good for working out. And having your hair in your face may look cool, but to me, in just looks way to HOT for Texas! Haha!

 

[tinkgurl]

Okay first of all...you made the choices so hard! They are all good! But, my honest opinion? These are the ones I like..

 

[autumnpalm]

I like all of them too! But my favourites are the second and fourth ones! I know what you mean about getting in a rut and then throwing your hair up every day... I tend to do that too! If I wear it down I usually straighten it/blowdry it and that takes so long. Getting a great haircut is always so fun... I love all your options and I really don't think you could pick a bad one.

 

[HeatherBelle614]

I like the first and second!

You'll be about 20 minutes from us; we're in Plano! Mini DIS meet at the Disney store at Grapevine Mills Mall, yes??

 

[tinkerbell87512]

I like the first one! I actually have that cut and love it! It's easy to handle and it's still long enough to wear it up if you have to. The others are cute too though. I will just say though the last one makes that girls face look WAY round. I have a round face so I know what you mean about finding cuts that compliment it. For some reason that last one just doesn't do it for me. Let us know what you pick!
