Okay, it's official. I'll be there 3 days that you are there. Not sure of Mo's exact dates, but hoping we can find a time to meet up. In fact, you can pretty much count on me stalking you at some point! I cannot tell you how excited I am for a chance to meet you!!:yay::yay::yay: I'll PM you.:hug:

I will let you know when we know. Now that Mark has to "job hunt", not sure what are plans will be. :(
 
We've been spending the last few days looking at newer cars - not new, but newer than what we have. I've pretty much decided I want to get a Focus and Charlie wants to get another Escape. We were only going to get me a car since my Escape is 12 years old, but it looks like the catalytic converter will need to be replaced on Charlie's Escape before next year's inspection, so he decided we will replace that one too - which is 10 years old. I think we did get our money's worth out of both cars.

We found 2 cars that we like at the same dealership, so I guess we are going to go ahead and buy them, if they are still available next weekend. The dealership is about an hour away, so it will be hard to get there before then. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

On the Disney front -

I'm working on getting some customs finished - I need to make a list so I don't forget anything.

I'm trying to decide which characters to do for shirts at AK - we already have Donald and Daisy shirts which we've worn twice. I'm thinking maybe Goofy, but I also could do Mickey and Minnie. Suggestions??????

Still trying to make a decision on costumes for MNSSHP - I'm leaning toward some type of Frozen costumes, but I could also do the Mickey Mouse Club. Charlie would be happy to wear the pirate costumes from last year, but I'd like to do something different. Decisions, decisions....

I've been either walking or doing the 21 day shred video most days. Since its getting warmer, Charlie wants to join the gym again for the summer, so that will give me more incentive to get moving and shaking.:thumbsup2

Shannon is due home this week for a couple of days. I'm looking forward to seeing her! Okay, I have to go clean out a couple of cars....
 
Oooh - congrats on TWO new cars! Awesome! :thumbsup2

Yay for customs... I am knee deep in planning mine too... It's my favorite part!

For costumes, I like your ideas. MMC would be easier to do - IMO.

Congrats on getting healthy too... It feels so good! YOu are doing a fantastic job!

Enjoy your visit with SHannon. :)

Oh I do hope those cars are still there this weekend! It's always fun to get a new-to-you car! Congrats!:cool1:

I'd say for the costumes, go with simple since it will be so hot. I loved the idea of Charlie being Olaf, but I think he'd melt! You're so clever with your sewing, I know you'll come up with something neat. As for AK, I made shirts just with appliquéd Mickey and Minnie heads with safari hats on them. We never got to wear them last trip, so I guess we'll wear them this time around. Since you look so cute in skirts/skorts, why not whip up a little skirt in leopard print or tiger stripes? Charlie could go with a pair of cargo shorts and a shirt with matching print of your skirt. Of course, I'm the one who hasn't planned a thing of what WE are wearing yet.:crazy2:

Have fun with Shannon!:flower3:

ETA: Way to go on the workouts! I just started back to the gym yesterday morning! Saw a picture of myself at our weekend place and couldn't sleep that night from thinking how awful I looked! I rarely look in a mirror, so it's always such a shock to me. In my head, I'm not this big! You keep up the good work, Tess! Good for you!

Thanks D - haven't seen Shannon yet since I was at work when she got here yesterday and then she went to the O's game with Kate and spent the night with her big sister. She went to NYC today to get the rest of her "stuff" from her apartment. She should be here tomorrow though.:hug:

I bought a steno pad and have been busy making lists of customs, packing lists, restaurants and confirmation numbers, etc. Each day I think of more things to add to the custom list. I really need to get busy or nothing is going to get finished.

Oh I do hope those cars are still there this weekend! It's always fun to get a new-to-you car! Congrats!:cool1:

I called yesterday and talked to the salesman that we talked to on Saturday. He said if we put a deposit down they would hold the cars for us. Luckily I wrote down the stock numbers on them. We are going to go up first thing on Saturday!!!!

I'd say for the costumes, go with simple since it will be so hot. I loved the idea of Charlie being Olaf, but I think he'd melt! You're so clever with your sewing, I know you'll come up with something neat.

I keep thinking of how I can make the Olaf costume out of cotton fabric, but I haven't come up with a solution yet. I agree about it being hot, though the pirate costumes were not too bad last year. I just didn't want to do the same thing this year.

As for AK, I made shirts just with appliquéd Mickey and Minnie heads with safari hats on them. We never got to wear them last trip, so I guess we'll wear them this time around.

I love the idea of making an animal print skirt! I'd have to wear shorts under it though since we are doing the Wild Africa Trek that day too. I'll have to think on that one and see what I can come up with. I think I have the Mickey & Minnie Safari patterns and that was my first thought, so we will see.
Have fun with Shannon!:flower3:

I was looking at pictures from the Epic Dis meet and OH MY!!! I definitely need to shape up. I feel the same way you do - I don't see myself as being fat until I see a picture. :scared1:
 
OooOOOoOOOoOOoo CUSTOMS! My FAVE part of planning!!

Hmmm, AK.... I would say its always fun to wear some sort of animal theme or safari theme. If you went with Minnie/Mickey you could do the safari versions of them. Or you could go more bright and funky and channel the Dino-O-Rama area some, thats where Goofy meets too if you wanted to do a goofy shirt! Can't wait to see what you decide!
 
Just a quick note before I have to head out to work...

Since we always plan to spend our first day at the MK, and we added a day at the beginning of the trip, I had to switch our dinner reservations around. We are now dining at Tony's Town Square on Tuesday and Biergarten on Wednesday.

I didn't have any problem switching them around, seems like there were plenty of times to choose from.

Okay I have to scoot.... Have a wonderful day!
 
OH MY! 2 Cars!!! That is AWESOME AWESOME!!!! congrats!!!

your a adorable don't change a thing!!!

As you know we are doing the Club house shirts.. then going to get the original mouse ears. Going to have mine done at a local tee shirt shop.. i can't find the dang shirts anywhere...


without everyone posting their dates i am so confused in where everyone will be!!!!

need to make a facebook group... :confused3
 
Just stopping by to say hi...

LOL at Mo for making a FB group... Did you do that? I would love to be a fly on the wall there, but it would make me sad that I don't get to particpate in all the fun stuff.

D~
 
Nice on two new cars at the same dealer. I miss my Escape...it was my favorite car.
 
I'll bet you're out getting your cars right now!! How fun. Hope all goes well and you're having fun!
 
We did get our new cars yesterday. We waited for 3 hours to get all the paperwork finished. Ridiculous really, since we weren't financing them. We got home in time to leave to go to the baseball game. Then we took my daughter out to one of our favorite seafood restaurants in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. It was a good day overall!

Today, I spent most of the day in my sewing room working on outfits for the munchkins. Finally I feel like I'm making progress.

We are at 62 days until we leave, but we are spending the first couple of days at Universal. I need my Harry Potter fix.
 
I love the Inner Harbor area! When Emily lived in Baltimore, that was a favorite place for us to go. So, you must live almost to the end of PA? BTW, how is Jim adjusting to his new digs?

Tell me why you love Universal so. I've never been and wondering if I should give it a try one of these trips. If it's just Harry Potter, I get that. But since I'm not a huge HP fan (don't dislike, just not my fav), I was wondering about the rest of Universal.

Glad you're getting things done in the sewing room…and for those cute little ankle biters of Mo's, even more fun!! Have a great day!

I am still in tears knowing you did all this for my kids.. :hug:

can you post pictures of the new cars?!?! i would love to see them!

Why does it take so ling for a dang car?!?! it usually a full day to buy one!!! :sad2:

Did you come up with an idea in what you are doing for MNSSHP?
 
I want to see pics of the cars too. I have had my van forever (10 years) and thinking of maybe getting a new one. I like seeing what other people decide on.

Loved seeing all of your stuff you worked on yesterday on FB.
