What's more American than Disney?!We Brave the 4th of July! TR LINK pg. 55!!!!!!!

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

So happy to see your PTR, as I loved reading all about your honeymoon adventures. So sorry to hear about DH's job. Looking forward to hearing more about your plans for the 4th!

Thanks for joining! Been a little slow on the planning and counting down lately. This have been so uncertain....more in next post.....

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Not much planning going on lately. I posted this on the July thread but wanted to share with my PTR friends!

So much on my mind. As you already know, the hospital that DH works for (he does billing) is closing...therefore it's only a matter of time before his last day. He's just waiting for the word.

As if that's not bad enough, the NJ education system is so screwy right now and my district's budget did not pass on Tuesday. That means they have to make cuts and although I've been there for 4 years, I do not have "tenure" and they told us today that all non-tenured teachers will get "pink-slips." That doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to lose my job, they just have to do that because at this point, they don't know how many cuts they will have to make so they have to cover themselves.

I have just been a mess with everything that's going on and in all my thinking, my disney trip keeps popping up at the end....what if we can't go?!

Sorry to be such a Disney Downer! I'm like that skit on SNL when they are all in Disney and the one woman just talks about all these awful things! (Anyone ever see that one? Funny!)

Anyway, just had to vent....nothing I can do but wait and see....

Sure everything will turn out ok for you guys... keep wishing on a star!

Luv, Emma xx

I'm so sorry to hear about all of your troubles. I'm sure that things will work themselves out.

I have seen that SNL skit. Rachel Dratch used to play Debbie Downer and it was hysterical!!

Thanks Emma! Ooh, I actually was going to go on your TR because I have a suggestion for your NYC trip! I'll pop over there now...

Yes, wasn't that the funniest! The best was that she could NOT hold it together! I love when they laugh too!

Hey! Sorry I haven'T been on here in a while.

I so understand what you mean. I'm right there with you. I've been in the schoolboard for 5 years. Never know of I'll have a job the next year.

Hold on! I'll send you positive thoughts.

 

[PopArtGal]

So here's my song. It's sung to the tune of the Beyonce song, Single Ladies.


All the single riders, all the single riders!
All the single riders, all the single riders!
All the single riders, all the single riders!
All the single riders...
You gotta split up!

Up in the park, it's starting to get dark
And you want to take another ride.
Check the times board, Oh good lord!
Test Track's got a 50 minute line!

Ain't no doubt, Fast Pass is all out
Don't pay it any attention!
'Cause you know what to do, when your family looks at you
Better get in the single riders line!

Well if you like it then you shouldn't need a friend for it
If you like it then you shouldn't need a friend for it
Just be glad that you didn't have to wait for it
If you like it then you shouldn't need a friend for it!
Oh oh oh..

Son in the front, Mom in the back
Dad in a whole other car.
Step right in, put your junk in the bin
Hand up while they check the lap bar

Big group on the side, hate to wait for a ride
Don't pay them any attention
'Cause you waited your turn and they gotta learn
What it means to take a single ride!

Well if you like it then you shouldn't need a friend for it
If you like it then you shouldn't need a friend for it
Just be glad that you didn't have to wait for it
If you like it then you shouldn't need a friend for it!
Oh oh oh..


I'm having a little trouble with the last part that's slow. So far I have...

Don't be surprised when you go and take a look
At the picture that they took.....

And I just can't get the rest. I have three months to work on it, though, so I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Awesome!

 

[PopArtGal]

Thanks!

Oh good to know. I was playing with mine last night and I can tell the battery runs out quickly so I'm going to have to get a backup, just in case.

Mine does the same thing. Is it a sign it's going to die on me soon?

Thanks Christy! It's tough but I just have to think positively (even though it's really hard) and hope for the best!

Awesome!

Thanks! I have so many ideas about the Single Riders Music Video! Even Tom's getting into it. Just yesterday I asked him if he thought we should storyboard it! He thinks just a basic plan will suffice!

Mine does the same thing. Is it a sign it's going to die on me soon?

I'm not sure but I'm not taking any chances! I'm definitely going to buy a back up battery!

Nikki, l've not been about much recently, so just caught up with the thread.
Sending you hugs and lots of pixie dust that the work situation gets sorted out soon for you and your husband.

 

[tinkerbell60]

Is there only one Debby Downer skit on You tube? Just wondered if you had the link to the one about Disney -

There is a really funny comedy "song" on Itunes - I think it is called Disney World in August - it is hysterical - sometime when you need a laugh.

 

[adisneymama]

Still praying for you guys Nikki! I hope things will turn around soon.

Hmm, I"m pretty sure SNL doesn't allow their skits on youtube. They are pretty quick about removing them if someone puts one up. I'm not sure how you can see it...I'll try to find it somewhere..

Still praying for you guys Nikki! I hope things will turn around soon.

Thank you!

Anyway big. I will keep both of you in my prayers.

Heading to the links now... I've been called DebbyDowner more than once... maybe I am just not that fun... oh that's right, it must be the Debby part.
