Vegan mom takes on Disney..... Dec, 2011 PTR

[momabaarjo]

Drama in your life too...man I hate the drama but we are pretty good at it in my house!

That puppy is so dang cute.

 

[momabaarjo]

It would be fun.

A loooong time ago when the internet was still a bit new (early 90's) I was invited to join a mom's group online. We ended up meeting regularly at various places. I made dear friends that way. Sadly I fell out of contact with them.(thanks to facebook now back in contact) However, some of them remained close.

Since then I haven't really met anyone from online. Unless you count the poor dis person I met when delivering the fridge from the swap I did last sept. I am sure that poor gal was not left with a "I loved meeting someone from online" experience. Lets just say, heat...exhaustion... frustration.... I was not so pleasant. I have decided I am not the type of person who handles draggin a fridge to someone else's room the night before I am checking out well. It sounds like a good idea, but it really wasn't. I had to laugh. I saw that there can be tree swaps around Christmas. For a brief moment I thought. "wow, wouldn't that be fun". Then I remembered...

You have to read Ann's trip report about this experience. I think I was literally ROFL.

I am normally a really nice person. I hate that I behaved the way I did.

Ah Ann, you gave me quite the laugh with this report!

No worries, I just know you are a 'nice' person....

Just remind me to not swap

Sorry to laugh... laughing at the need for more wine.. not the panic. I hear ya on the panic. Had a bit of one myself today thinking I HAVE to figure out my ADRS before dd goes into the hospital. But how can I figure out the ADR's if I am not certain on my dates... and how can I be certain of my dates if I don't have airfare locked in... see... panic.

I would try and be nice. Seriously though, I don't see a swap like that happening again for me. Ya want to know the silliest part of that experience??? We .... did... not.... USE... the fridge!!!! I do hear that there are tree swaps in December though... it sounds tempting... but I would probably not do well with it either.

 

[momabaarjo]

Blame it on the heat Ann, in addition to an all girls 3 generation trip. It happens to the best of us...think of it this way as brightning all of our days!

Now for the wine...hmmm think that will help me get back in the planning mode?

 

[Monknmom]

I feel your stress about the ADR's! I make mine in the morning and realized that just sitting here reading your Ptr! I forgot with everything that has been going on this weekend! You'll do fine though- just write them down and know where you put the paper- I hope I wrote where that paper went to in my PTR because I have no idea! I need to share that bottle of wine with you!

Day 1 Arrival - Saturday

I have not book the flight yet but if I get the flight I want then we will be arriving in Orlando at 6:15pm. By the time we get to POP and settle in and get luggage, I think we will be ready to call it a night. We will eat at the food court and just hang out. Gotta soak up the Disney ambiance!

Day 2 MK - Sunday

I think we may end up arriving at Pop around the same time! The flight I booked for dd and I is scheduled to arrive MCO at 5:35pm. If I don't see you at check in... My plan would be to eat at the food court too so watch for me then. Of course, we may just miss each other... but it is kinda cool to know that someone else is going to be there around the same time.

If you lived a little closer I'd be saying , come on down! Wine is goooood! Especially in times like these... well really, I need no excuse to enjoy wine. I'll be popping over to you PTR to see how it is all going with your ADR's soon.

I will be watching for you Ann. How much fun it would be to actually meet. My dh already thinks I'm crazy So i could really mess with his head if i don't tell him about potentially meeting you and then just sit down with you and start chatting! He would seriously think there is something wrong with me because that is so completely out of character for me!

 

[veggiemama]

Oh man i am kicking my self right now! So mad

just went on my promo code website for my flight and there was a 30% off flight code. BUT I missed it by 2 days!!!!! ARG!! I still tried to type it in but it wouldn't allow me to use the code! Here I thought I was being so dilligent checking all my sites and I missed it! Now I feel this very strong urge to check my website even more often than I do. There better be another code soon!

That is so funny!!! Well, by all means if you see me do it! As of right now, it would just be dd and I and you probably have a good idea of what we look like.

I am 25 and just have come to enjoy wine- the sweeter kind though still, I LOVE ***i though- I can't get enough of that stuff! The ADR's went okay, I didn't get something that I had wanted, but that's fine I got most of them! I hope that yours are going well!

I am watching a WestJet flight code page. west jet is a Canadian airline that does a few flights to the US but mostly is just Canadian. I managed to find a flight from Westjet that is anon-stop and I really want that flight but at the moment the flights for all 4 of us would cost the same amount as the rest of our entire trip! Seriously, it would cost as much as our resort,ddp, and tickets! I just can't handle spending that much on tickets, even for a non-stop!

My hubby makes 3 types of wine, red, white and sweet, which we refer to as 'candy' wine I don't drink the really sweet stuff but we often have people over who do. So I can accommodate any taste

I am still tweaking ADR's. Like always there is drama in my household.... good type this time I think! So some ADR"s might have to change, at least this is before I actually book anything!

Just a quick update....

I won't be around much this weekend. It is our town's fair weekend and there is a lot going on.

Thursday: I teach a group music lesson, then hightail it over to my dd's high school for the end of year band recital, then jump over to our church for a meeting.

Friday: Have to get all dressed up because dh has a fancy-schmansy dinner thing for work. They actually booked an entire resturant for the night, some 5 star place!

This is also the first night of the fair for us. My dd is going with a bunch of friend's and I'm still trying to find somewhere for my ds to go and hang out.

Once we get back from dinner we will go to the fair, hang out with friends and kids and wait for the 11pm black out fireworks. Then, for anyone who know this person, Brian 'head' Walch is singing/talking (he is the former singing of korn and is now a christian)

Saturday: Up EARLY! I have to head over to the fair grounds early to set up my float. My music studio is in the parade this year and of course, nothing is ever easy! The truck I am using will not be here until almost 11 am and the parade starts at 12! So I have to decorate and organize all my students (35 of them plus parents) PLUS we are suppose to throw candy but I can't seem to get ahold of anybody about where to get our supply.... I'm stressing a little over this!

After the parade we will hang out ALL day at the fair grounds. Our entire main street closes down for this fair. It is a lot of fun but also exhausting! we will probably get home around midnight.

Sunday: My dd has to be at her school for 8 am to be bussed to the city to compete in a dragon boat race. I have to be in the city for 9 am when the competition starts. My dh will not be coming because on Sun all 6 of our churches do one huge combined service on main street and Brian 'head' Walch is giving his testimony. My dd was not happy to be missing this so my dh is staying behind to tape it and I will tape her races so that he can see them later.

Phew, I'm exhausted just thinking of all this!!

Next week, of course is ADR day for me, my last week of teaching plus a recital at the end of the week.

Then, I think I will finally be able to say I"M DONE!!


Bring on the wine baby!

 

[annmarieda]

I love your list. (I so appreciate lists ) Looks like a busy week, but it also looks like you at least have a handle on what you need to do. That is just about half the battle

 

[momabaarjo]

One day at a time....
