Yay, a new reader, I love it :love: Thanks for reading along, and welcome aboard!

Well, i went home at lunch today and "re-tried" on those shirt. Ew, I disliked them even more today. A heads up to anyone ordering the Gildan Women's t-shirts on www.jiffyshirts.com , they are cut weird-- in my opinion. They are much more boxy than I think a "woman's" shirt should be- in fact they really just seem like a short men's shirt. Oh, and don't get me started on the sleeves!! They are just cut w-e-i-r-d! So, I'm back to square one with the shirts. AHhhhh. time is running out and I need some shirts. I guess my Sunday will now be dedicated to a tww shirt search around the greater Richmond Metropolitan area!:eek:
 
I hope you find some shirts for your iron ons, they sound like really cute designs:cutie: ! Can't believe your trip is so close, your so lucky!:wizard:I will admit I have been lurking on your PTR for awhile now, but i really enjoy reading your updates! Can't wait to see the shirts.:goodvibes
 

Ok, I have deemed tomorrow "find t-shirts for iron on designs" day. In the meantime, here are a few pics I took at the zoo today. Just a little more practice for Disney-- oh, and I thought it was apporopriate that according to my schedule, one week ago from this afternoon I will be hitting up the Animal Kingdom. Ok, here are the pics- hope it's not too many for you guys :thumbsup2

Real update tomorrow---I promise!!!!!!

Okay...you put my photography hobby to shame, shame...shame. SHAME! YOU ROCK!:cool1:

What lens are you using? I have the Canon Rebel XTi
 
I am just using the Canon S3 IS, no other special lenses with it. I was lucky at this zoo that you are sooo close to the animals!! I am going to try and practice some more somewhere tomorrow, but well see. Im glad you enjoyed the pics!!
 
Well, I know that I PROMISED an update tonight, but alas, I have nothing- well,nothing of interest. I did go out searching for shirts today- and stop holding your breath everyone, I came up empty handed. I thought I had hit the motherload at Old Navy of all places, but alas, they didn't have the right sizes in any colors I needed. I am going to try a different Old Navy tomorrow evening I think. So, still no shirts, and i leave a week from tomorrow, eek!!! :scared1:

On another note, I bought another pair of Crocs. And I am soooo not kidding. Remember those precious Peacock blue Mary Janes that I had been jonesing for? Well, remember how I finally found them? Well, upon further inspection it seems that someone with a foot MUCH larger than the posted size 7 tried to wear them, and the back strap is totally stretched out. COuple that with my ridiculously narrow foot/heel, and you have a big uh oh. I was big time bummed- I wanted new Mary Janes. On an up note, I pawned the Paecock ones off on my DM, because her foot is a little bigger, and she loved them anyway. So, that brings me to my new purchase. I don't have a pic, but I was able to snag a brand new pair of Sea Foam Mary Janes from Dillards. I was originally going for pink ones, but everywhere I went was out of my size in pink. Apparently size 7 is a big hit in the Richmond/Midlothian area! Looking back though, I think I will get more wear out of these post-Disney. They are a bit tamer in color, and the color is actually much cooler in person than on the computer.

I guess the only other real vacation progress I have made this weekend was a brief (well, as a brief as you can be in that place) Wal-Mart run this afternoon. I picked up some new shampoo, hair bands, purell (travel sized of course) and 2 packs of travel pack Wet-Ones for messes and germs.

Oh, I get to call tomorrow or Tuesday to order my cake for DM and I. I am planning on having a sort of welcome cake delivered to our room the first night, after dinner at Kona- a week from tomorrow :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: I am thinking of trying to get a Peter Pan themed one with wording something like "We're off to Neverland...", so keep your fingers crossed that I get a friendly person tomorrow on the phone. I have read some cake nightmares on the cake thread so I am nervous :confused: Actually what I would really LOVE to have is a "Walt" cake. My mom and I are totally into the magic that this one single man started, but I don't think it's possible to convey that into a cake :rotfl: But don't you think a screen printed image of this pic would be awesome on a cake???

Well, that's about all for tonight, but here's a parting shot of your's truly. It is from my DBF's bday- and yes, we are at Hooters. I admit, I :love: their wings and so does DBF. This was actaully a couple days before his bday, but the intention of dinner was for the special day. Sorry it's small and blurry, it was taken with my friend's camera phone. Wouldn't it be nice if the boy would have just smiled instead?!?!:confused3

Hi! just stopping by to say hi!

I will be at the 10/17 Coral Reef Pairing too :cool1:
 
WARNING: RAMBLING, RAMBLING, AND MORE PRE-TRIP RANDOM RAMBLING AHEAD (yeah, say it three times fast----I dare ya;) )

HOLY COW, I LEAVE IN 5 DAYS!!! And what have I packed so far----nothing---nada---- zilch, eek :scared1: :scared1:

This week ahs been so busy so far- isn't that always the way?!?! I had to babysit last night, tonight I am havign dinner with DM to sort out last minute details and buy her a brand spankin' new suitcase. I guess tomorrow will be a good packing night. Friday nights we usually go out with some friends, and Saturday AND Sunday we have engagement parties to go to! Uh, this is nuts. I have at least begun a mental check list of which clothes I am going to pack, and I have made some rendition of a pile of travel sized toiletries. I guess that's betetr than nothing. Oh, and to top it off, I need to do :laundy: of course. I have been putting that off for heavens knows how long and if I don't do it soon I will be in Disney sans undies :eek: And of course I have made NONE of the t-shirts I planned on making. Right now the plan is to definitely make the one to wear to MNSSHP and make at least 2 more. Again I stress, that is the plan. Since this is my first time attempting these shirts the results might not be pretty. Consider yourself warned if you see me in the parks :headache:

SO, have ever had the feeling before a WDW trip that you are so so so prepared, yet you feel so totally unprepared at the same time :sad2: Yeah, it may jsut be me. I mean I have a plan mapped out as to which parks which days, and I have ADR's all set. I have briefly read over my TGM touring plans and of course scouered the Dis. Maybe to make myself feel better I will print out some of the things I am likely to forget in a pinch- i.e. Wishes and Illuminations viewing location tips.

Ok, I feel a bit better having said all that outloud- per say.

It's about lunch time so I am going to run to Target and pick up the (hopfully) last few things on my to-get list. Then I can check one more thing off, woohoo :woohoo:

Thanks as always to my loyal followers on this rambling journey....:thumbsup2
 
Hi Ashely - I know exactly how you feel!! :rotfl: I feel the same - completely prepared for travelling - hotels, flights, ADR's, tours etc all booked and paid for, but as for all the "little" things - completely unprepared!!!!
Why does that happen, I wonder?
Anyway, good luck with the t-shirts, and if I can't get back here before you go, have a fabulous vacation!!! I look forward to hearing how it all went. Please keep us updated!! :surfweb: popcorn::

Take care

Heather :upsidedow
 
Hehe, I always wait until 1-2 days to pack. I start my packing list a week or or two before though. So, I'm kinda already packing.....in my mind! hehe
 
Packing update:

Last night I folded and laid out 2 shirts on the guest bed to pack later this week.

I found some good quality $5 Columbia ponchos at Target yesterday which I was pumped about

I bought a pump foam soap for the room- I just don't like using the bar of soap when washing my hands. I'm weird, but I prefer a pump :sad2:


Yeah, that's the whole update :lmao:


And can you believe that I haven't even had time to call about my :cake: yet?!?!?! Egads, they say they say they only need 48 hours notice, but I am going to go sneak out of the office with my cell phone and call now. And yes, I am still very nervous about calling- I keep reading about the Poly bakery being less than accomodating. Here is what I would like to request, let me know how it sounds- white cake, chocolate icing (would really love chocolate gahace on it, but that might be a big stretch), 8", Peter Pan themed cake. I would love it to say "We're off to Neverland...." on it too. Sounds simple right?!?! Well, one would think.....
I'll let you know how it goes, wish me luck!

I'll try and make a packing update tonight with pics if possible
 
Hi Ashley :banana:

Just in case I am not able to before you leave, I wanted to wish you and your mother safe travels!!! :goodvibes

Ashley-

I really hope we run into each other. You know what my DS looks like...and I will have my LGMH's on everyday!

We are still planning on catching Illuminations on the 17th, so I still don't know about making the meet- although my mom thinks we should- dont ya love her already :lmao: If we make it after Illuminations I hope you all are still there! Oh, decisions decisions! Anyway, i will be on the lookout for you and DS- I will have my LGMH on me and DM as well :thumbsup2

Just remember: Hakuna Matata! (No Worries) Just do what you can and don't kill yourself... you don't want to start out overtired and frazzled... you'll run out of gas real soon when you're trying to see and do everything at WDW.

(Okay, the motherly-advice-giving segment is over!) Woo-hoo for the laundry being done! :laundy: And for finally finding the right shirts!
