Lyzziesmom- thanks for explaining that to me- it makes perfect sense. I wish I had a two year old so I could pre-board. ;)

Can you PM me with the list of the cell #"s (and add mine to it)? My flight is getting in at 8:55 so I am thinking I may just wait for you and 2x. I'm not sure though because since its such short notice, I don't think I'll get ME tags so I'll have to get my luggage, etc. If not we can meet up!! I'm going to be SO tired on Friday though- yikes!


ETA: Whoops!! I realized I put 10:55, my flight comes in at 8:55!
 
That is awesome Ashley!! I’m so happy for you.

You guys are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!

Please take lots and lots of pictures and post them here when everyone returns!!

I know it..I can't wait!!! last time I took over 600 pix...last night I got out the book:rolleyes1 amazing what you can learn when you read the manual:rotfl: guess we'll see if that helps...blonde thing I guess.:confused3

If you don't like your pix taken, just let me know b/c otherwise I'll be snapping away. I love to take pix!! I NEED a dslr!!! I would have rather had a dslr than a new transmission in my car:rolleyes1
 
That's great, Ashley!!

Can I ask, what airport are you flying out of? The only reason I ask is because I know Baltimore being so teeny-tiny didn't have the touch screens for Southwest the last time we flew out of there. You still had to stand in line with everybody else even though you had your boarding pass to check your bags. They had them at Philly when we flew out of there in September but they were covered up and wouldn't let us use them. I'll be talking to my sister to see what she remembers of Baltimore if that's where you're flying out of.

Now Orlando is awesome!! With it being so big the touchscreens are always available so I know you'll have no problems flying home.

It's awesome to get the A boarding pass. You're one of the first to board and you can pick your aisle seat. That's what I do. Also, the front desk has always been helpful w/ us for printing out our boarding passes.

Anyway, congrats on being able to come!! That's pretty cool!
 

OH I'm so mad!! I finally got my other W2 in today's mail, so while I was home for lunch I spent my whole lunch hour doing my taxes. I went through the program in kind of a rush, and the amount came out a little less than last year, which doesn't seem right, but I saved it just before submitting so I can go through it one more time. Usually I will use a couple different programs - sometimes the refund amount comes out slightly different (I have no idea why?) ANYWAY... I get back to work and there's an email from corporate... it says NOT TO USE the W2s because they are WRONG!! So all that work and wasted lunch hour was for nothing!! And now I STILL have to wait for an amended W2 to see how much I'm getting back!! But the kicker is, corporate says the information MAY be wrong, I guess some are wrong and some are not. I think I'm going to check mine against my last pay stub of 2006 and see if it looks close, since I only got a few paychecks in 2006 at this company I think it might be right. UGH I'm so frustrated!! I had other stuff I wanted to get done at lunchtime, but I was so excited to see my W2 that I just jumped right on getting that done.

I can completely sympathize(sp?) w/ the frustration!! Not w/ the W2 but with other things like trying to get car rentals or working on a job application. In my haste on one of the last job apps. I did and spent a good bit of time on I get down to the end and see the job location is in Orangeburg, SC!! Nowhere close. At least you had a good reason for spending on your time on your taxes. You didn't know it was the wrong W2. Now me, if I had just read down further on the job description I would have seen it before I put all of my time into the app.

Anyhoo, that's a great idea just checking your last stub from 2006. Then you'll know if it's right or not. It's a bummer though if it's not the right one.

I'm starting to get packing. Tomorrow I've got a hair appt. and on Wednesday morning I have an interview for a part-time position at the hospital. :woohoo:

Hey, I've really REALLY been considering Respiratory Therapy and nursing. It'll be cool to have an "In" at the hospital so I can meet and talk to and maybe shadow some of the RTs or RNs.

Man, what a bummer!! I hate it when you spend all that time getting something done, and then you are going to have to turn around and do it again! And the wasted time sucks!!

I'm still waiting on DS's W2!! Her work used to get them out before January 15th. Now it's almost the end of the month before they get them out.
 
You just need to go ahead and get one!! You will LOVE it.

I agree. I just got my Pentax. I love it!! The only downside to a DSLR is buying lenses. I haven't even had mine for a month and I already bought two (it came with one). I have a list of others I want.
 
I am so mad right now. I went in to have my hair cut and highlights touched up today. Since I waited so long I couldn't get in with the girl that normally does it. Well I told the girl that I didn't want the highlights as light as they were, a shade or 2 darker. She said how about we do some low lights. I asked her before she started to make sure if the highlights would blend when it grew out and that it would look natural. You know I like highlights, but don't want to see highlights. ;) She said that it would blend perfectly with my natural color when it grew out so it wouldn't be noticeable and that the highlights would be slightly darker than it was. O.k. great! Well she came and started in the back and when she turned me around to start the front I saw 3 bowls sitting there that she was using. 1 was a brown, one was yellow (I knew that was conditioner and there was a bowl with white stuff in it. I asked her what color the white was. :confused: She said "Oh, that's bleach!":scared1: :scared1: I said won't the bleach make it lighter. :eek: Well by that time it was too late to say anything as it was almost all over my head!:sad2: When she took the towel off my head all I could see were really really blond stripes.:eek: I didn't know what to say. She cut it (the cut is o.k) then when she finished blow drying it she said you can see the highlights, they look really good!:scared1: I still didn't know what to say so I just nodded.:sad2: It is so light and blond I feel like my hair is glowing.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Now what do I do, go back put more junk on it?:confused3 Live with it, which I probably have to do now. Bleach, what the heck was she thinking?:confused3 To top it off, it cost me $125 for a cut and highlights!!!!!!!:scared1:

I'm going to have some chocolate and try to calm down so I can catch up!:mad: :mad: :sad1:
 
Lesa: I think you should go back and see if a different stylist can fix it. Most places have some sort of guarantee that if you didn't get what you asked for, they will try to fix it for free. I did the same thing as you once, I went to get highlights and I felt like my head was full of these tiny bright white stripes! It did calm down after a couple weeks, and when I used regular all-over color (the cheap stuff at home) it colored right over the highlights, and they came out just a little lighter than the rest. I've also gone back to fix color that didn't come out right - it took two days but it eventually got fixed, and I didn't have to pay for it. I've since given up on coloring my hair for the most part - the grays just give it character. ;)

ETA: Good plan on the chocolate!!

I don't think I want to mess with it anymore before we go. It might turn out green or something!:rolleyes: I just can't get over her using the bleach. She must have used mostly the bleach instead of the darker color because I don't see much of the darker color. Everyone will just have to look at me with sunglasses on!:cool2: The true test is what Brittany will say when she sees it. She always tells me if something looks good or not! That's the job of a 12 year old daughter I guess!:rolleyes:

Chocolate always makes things better!! :) If only we ate more chocolate, the world would be a better place!;)

I did our taxes last week but I have to do them over again. I came up with us getting a lot of money back! Not that I'm complaining!:rolleyes1


I see Ashley is going with us!!!!:dance3: party: What a great husband you have!:woohoo:

Do we have it posted somewhere every one's ETA?

That's all the time I have to catch up. TTFN!
Congratulations on 1000 Michele!party: :rainbow:

I'm planning on that being my "happy 30th to me" present in April:rolleyes1

Oh I know...those are way more than the camera:eek: better start saving now! glad you like your new camera :goodvibes

Oh man.... I got mine done yesterday too. Its much lighter than I'm use too as well...we'll just glow together:hug: chocolates sound great!

If only we ate more chocolate, the world would be a better place!;)

so true... more chocolate!!

whoo hoo..sounds great! $$$

Of coarse work knows this is my last day before vacation and they just keep adding more to my pile...:sad2: I'm ready to put my "out of town" reply on my email NOW!!!!:yay:
 
Hi all!!!

Okay, I have a very important question for the ConventionEars----

do you think it will be too cold for flip flops??:lmao: :lmao: Seriously.:thumbsup2

I have croc flip flops and am just debating whether to pack them. I guess they don't take up that much room, but if it is too cold for them, I need to figure out what else instead I can bring for certain things.

Thanks chickies!!! (and the men, if you have an opinion on this issue;) :lmao: )



I had a doctor's appointment this morning--------what does it mean when she asks when my trip to WDW is and then says, "good, you need it".?????????:eek: :eek: :laughing:



I just looked at the weather----RAIN!!! I swear that just changed because I have been watching it all week and the only possibility of rain was Monday.
Lyzziesmom---where are the cheap ponchos??????



I do have a non-request-----may I request no pics of me, please?? I know I'm being wierd, but I just can't stand the way I'm looking these days. I'll bring pics of how I used to look.;) :lmao: No, seriously, my illness is somewhat physically challenging and the prednisone, well, it has it's own physical challenges. Thanks for understanding. Who knows, maybe I'll feel more confident when I get there and hop in a picture or two----I don't know. I know I sound really vain, but I'm not---this has been just really difficult for me.




OMG------ASHLEY'S GOIN!!!!!!!!:dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :grouphug:

THANKS JEREMIAH!!!!!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:


Ash----your flight comes in around 9am?? Mine comes in at 10, I think---I'll double check. Are you doing ME?? If so, Lyzziesmom and I are meeting at the ME terminal. I think I may just get my own luggage of the carousel because I'd like to have some of my things prior to 3-4 hours later.


Another carry-on question----some of my meds are liquid-----can I carry them on with me in a zip-lock, or must I pack them away??




So much to do, so little time.



Linda---if I don't get to talk to you before you leave tomorrow------be careful and have a safe drive!!!! When are you guys leaving tomorrow????
I'll see you on Friday!!!!! WOOOOO-----AAAAA----HOOOO!!!!!!!!:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

I'll catch up on the chit-chat a bit later.
 
Ash----

I think you can still ride on ME on short notice----you'll just have to pick up your bags and carry them on yourself since no tags will be issued. I would call WDW and make sure. Just tell them that your DH surprised you with a last minute trip and you want to take advantage of ME and see what they say. They should be able to just add you to a list and you can check in at the ME terminal.


If someone has already mentioned this, sorry, I haven't read yet.:cutie:
 
Lesa- I hate it when hairdressers don't listen to what you say! I hope it tones down a little.

April- Good luck on the interview!

Lyzziesmom- That's so frustrating about your taxes!
 
Hey there 2x. great to see you!

I'm bringing my crocks that are for warmer weather...but I don't have to worry about space too much. I'm really trying to pack light too. More room to buy stuff:rotfl:

Well....I do understand about not wanting pix taken BUT we love you for who you are....NOT what you look like:hug: I'll still respect your wishes;) I don't look near as good as I use too either...but that's just life...hmmm and maybe some chocolate too:rolleyes1 Thanks...we're not leaving until tomorrow evening so we can get in Orlando around noon Wed. but thanks. I'll be home tomorrow just getting ready for the trip, and on the DIS ;)

rain ponchos...dollar store ;) usually 2 for $1!! :woohoo:


Good luck April!

ttfn...time to go to wrestling!:banana:
 
2x: I don't know about flipflops, since they always give me that annoying between-the-toes blister I don't wear them at WDW. Anymore. But I will be wearing my Crocs, with or without socks depending on the temp.

Last time I got my 2 for $1 ponchos at Deal$... I'm headed there after work today to see if they still have any. Of course, last time I bought them in August so I have no idea if they still carry them in February. But it's worth a try!! I've seen on the DIS that lots of people find them at Dollar Tree and other dollar stores too. Don't get the $6 ones at Target - they rip easily and are too $$! I plan to pick up a ton of extra ponchos if I find them - I might be persuaded to share.

I know what you mean about the pictures. I will TRY not to take any pictures of you, but I warn you... if you are doing something cute with Emma I do like to take candids. However, I will erase it on the spot if it looks bad. I HATE the way I look right now - I weigh 30 pounds more than I did in 2004 when Emma was born, and it's all in my middle and my face. My hair has not cooperated in years. I can't stand pictures of me... but I know that I will regret it in years to come if I don't have any, so I just smile and try not to let anyone see them unless I like them. But when I see pics of myself now, I look at them and say, "Who's that fat lady?"

Excuse me while I put the cookies away.

I have been furiously PMing back & forth with Ashley today about meeting at the airport. I think since we all arrive close to each other (Ashley, 2x, and me) we should figure out a good place to meet - I was thinking maybe just in the ME area? Or someplace more fun... maybe the EarPort?? Isn't it exciting that Ashley gets to come with?
 
Well, Brittany said my hair makes me look ummm, younger!:thumbsup2 I asked her if it looked bad and she said "no it just makes you look younger!":love:
Madison on the other hand said "your hair looks really bad mom!" Then she said if I didn't stand in the light it didn't look so bad!:laughing: That certainly made me feel better!!!:lmao:

2x...I'm with you, no pictures please! I don't want any memories of this hair disaster!!!:sad2:

Bleach, what was she thinking???:rolleyes:

I think I need more chocolate!!!:crazy:
 
Ashley--- What a great surprise from your husband!!! Have a great trip and don't worry, you'll be fine.

Dznyfan-- that photo is of a beach on eastern Oahu near the Holona blowhole. You have to go down this kind of scary path to get there but it's totally worth it! It's no fun tracking back up either.
