Hi everyone, I've missed all of you

Hope everyone is well, I'm going to try to get caught up, at least a little, over the next week.
I've been busy the last couple of weeks. My washer broke and my dryer wasn't going to live much longer, so I was busy shopping and deciding what to replace them with (wish I could have afforded someone to do the laundry instead of new machines

) Had new ones delivered yesterday, have a gas dryer so got it hooked up today and have been doing laundry all day
A friend of mine volunteered my house for a small Oscar party on Sunday, so I've been trying to get to the theatre every chance I get to see some of the movies. I hadn't seen anything since Mama Mia in the fall. No way I'm going to fit in any more before Sunday, but I did manage to see Slumdog Millionaire, Benjamon Button, The Reader, The Wrestler

eek: closed my eyes through most of this, I hate wrestling and bleeding...

) and saw He's just not that into you (just for fun, it's not nominated). Anyone else planning to watch the Oscars this year? To be honest, I didn't enjoy them last year and wasn't going to watch...but since everyone's coming to my house I guess I will once again! Funny thing is, I'm the one with the little 32" TV
My trip to wdw in May is all planned, have all my dining plans, but quite willing to change them if a meet or two can be arranged as we get closer. I feel a little sad about the trip today though. A friend of mine lost her mother a few weeks ago and is feeling sad. I mentioned she should come to disney with me sometime and she would have loved to have come with me in May. I wish I had known this earlier. She has never been and I know she would love it, and I would love her company but...I already have my airfare, purchased it at a great sale price and it is WAY too expensive now, and my friend will not fly alone. I'd change mine but I don't think I would be able to use the credit, even if I did pay the penalty, before it would expire and I'd lose the money. I just can't afford to lose it. I already have airfare booked for Sept too. We're talking now about maybe going together in 2010, but I know she could use the vacation now.
It's getting close to Survivor time so I'm going to try to at least read a few posts before then. Anyone else watching it this season?
