Yo ho, yo ho, a bounceback life for me LEAVING TOMORROW 9/12!!!!!!!!!!!

[OhioDisneyLover]

Here are a few pics of the office that I had. It is the ONLY room in the house that has a lot of "stuff." The rest of the house doesn't have tons of pictures, etc.

And I could not resist.............

I have a little Disney in my yard too. Not much though.

You can kind of see Farmer Mickey in this one. I did not get a good picture.

Hi Sophia!

Your photos are all great - I love your room! We bought a similar photo frame, but with multi-apertures (if that makes sense!).

Your cats are soo cute!! And all your t shirts came out really well, they look so professional.

And I just booked this morning with Disney travel for 4-18 Oct 2010, waiting for flights to be released at the end of this year! Soooooo excited!!!!!!

Di,

I love the frame that we decided on. THere are a few that are different but for the most part we tried to get them all the same.

These are two of my 4 cats. These two pal around together a lot!

I am so excited for your 2010 trip! So....when are you going to start your PTR!

Oooh, I love the pictures of the office! I like how a lot of the pictures are in those Mickey frames. Thanks for sharing them!



YAY!!!!! You are going back, that is definitely exciting!

We did the majority of the same frame. THere are others too but that part of the office was messy so you don't get to see it.

[lisalonglash]

What a cute office! Can't help but feel cheerful in your office, I'll bet! Adorable kitty picture too - sweet!

Can't wait to see it in person! You mentioned your plans when we visited. You know what that means.....now I wanna see it!

What a cute office! Can't help but feel cheerful in your office, I'll bet! Adorable kitty picture too - sweet!

Thanks Lisa. I love it in here. I use this room to scrapbook in as well. It ends up being quite a mess when I do that!

hi Sophia!!

Hope that Joe's interview goes/went well

Love the Disney room! How HAPPY I have alot of my Disney stuff in my craft room... but a little is starting to find it's way around the rest of the house

hope that you don't have to cancel CRT or HDDMR... but you are very right... can stretch your credits farther without them. We did CRT with the kids and since we were 1 credit short because of it... on a down day we had pizza delivered and ate it at the pool and swam... was not too expensive and a nice night!

Just read through most of your TR! Looks like we will be in Disney around the same time..we arrive September 1st!

Love your office...I have a Mickey Duver---cannot believe that my DH didn't bawk at that!

We are also from Ohio---Cleveland Heights specifically. My sis in law is in your neck of the woods--Westlake. She is coming to Disney with us, I think. She always books at the last minute. I book all of her ADRs when I do mine because we have been messed up by her ill preparedness too many times before!

Happy Trip Planning!

Hey Paula,

Joe has another 4 hour interview on Monday so I hope that is a good sign.

I really don't want to cancel CT and HDDMR so I am crossing my fingers. Mostly because HDDMR is John's birthday (Jenn's guy) and I really want to celebrate with them. So..........we shall see.

My Disney stuff is eeking it's way into the kitchen too but I don't know how long that will last.

Welcome! Nice to have you. Seems we're neighbors! Will our trips cross dates at all or will you be back by the time we arrive on the 12th?

My DH would go nuts I think if I brought more Mickey into the house. He's already in the yard now too.

Ahh I haven't been over here in forever, I'm sorry!! I can't believe the CM told you that Chef Mickey's is one of the hardest to get reservations for! I never particularly liked the food, but I guess it is a great way to get photos with all the "main characters" and not have to wait in line in the parks! Is there a menu up for Kouzzina yet? It sounds like it's going to be a good place to eat. I am obsessed with Disney cakes! I stare at all the photos on the cake thread and want one so bad, so I can't wait to see yours!! What kind are you getting?

Hiya Sophia~!!!!

Love your Disney room!! I havent been on boards much lately but hoping to get back into it.. As you know my grandmother and uncle recently passed away.. and then my mom had a stroke a few weeks ago.. the drs think it was so many things that lead up to it, but definitely think the stress of my grandmom and uncle brought it on.. thankfully she is recovering, but as you can imagine with everything else going on.. its quite busy..

I tried finding my TR so I could resume and having troubles locating it so I will look for it.. Keep your eye out for my update!

I havent finished reading all your posts here as I decided to start with the newest and going backwards till I get back to where I left off last.. I like to do that when I read books too! I always know the ending in the beginning.. I cant help myself..

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I made it to page 11 yesterday before guests arrived for an afternoon by the pool. I need to know, does anyone ever give directions to treadmill while DISing?

I hope to have a little time to read today....

Your cats are adorable, and I don't even like cats very much, so that's saying a lot!!!

I have been MIA from the Dis for a while so I don't know if Kouzzina has opened yet or not. . Still not sure what I am going to do about the cake situation. I think if I end up canceling the Wishes cruise that I am going to at least get the cake! I want a two tier white cake with amaretto filling, butter cream frosting and white fondant. I want the little stamped mickey heads on it too. I think I want the gold ones.

I can't believe I missed Eddie last time. Thanks for the recommendation on the lighthouse sandwich. I am anxious to try it. Love BOMA, even if they don't have zebra domes at breakfast.

I am a little nervous about the pepper market but we are gonna give it a try. Tusker is by far our favorite breakfast. I think CM is so hard to get because it is a character b-fast and it's only 1 TS. Who knows though?

Have not done the American Idol thing. We watch the show but for some reason I have never gone over there yet.

I hope Joe finds something soon. We could probably keep all of our ADR's but I would feel so much better about it if he were back to work. What kills me though is IF he gets a job and it is really close to vacation time....will they let him take it off? Ugh, this is stressful.

There are a lot of T-shirt threads. I'm really not sure which one I got some of the stuff off of. I did the stick figure ones myself with art work that one DISigner had on her photobucket page. Dang, I just can't remember.

Had how can you not like cats! I love my kitties. They are my little fur babies.

Ok so apparently I cannot spell..It's a Duvet cover with Mickey---omg!

I figured that one out. You should post a picture. I'd love to see it.

We are not overlapping We leave on the 10th!! But it should be a great time to go! Do you have kids that you have to pull out of school? I have a 1st grader and a 3rd grader--I am parent of the year!

We don't have kids but every year we pull my nephew out of school. Been doing it since he was in kindergarten. Last year though we had issues which is why my sister decided that she is not going to come with us this year. I am sad about that but she said that next year when we renew our vows she will pull him out of school.

Hiya Sophia~!!!!

I am sorry to hear about your mom. You have had so much going on lately. I have not been on the boards in a while but I hope that she is doing better since you posted.

I hope you find your TR and are able to finish. I'm still here waiting

I do the same thing....read backwards....especially with magazines. Don't know why but I have been doing it for YEARS!

I made it to page 11 yesterday before guests arrived for an afternoon by the pool. I need to know, does anyone ever give directions to treadmill while DISing?

I hope to have a little time to read today....

Oooohhh, glad you made it to page 11. Things have changed SO much since I started this TR. I even go back and read the progress myself!

Thanks for staying with me everyone.


Work has been INSANE to say the least. My new team is coming on board on Monday. Once I get everything up and running I will have more time to DIS!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Time for an update!

So my Facebook status says that I plan to do a whole lot of nothing this weekend. Well, I decided that I may as well get back to my Disney planning instead of sitting around and watching all of season 4 of One Tree Hill.

Two things were accomplished so far........

1. Trip is paid off!

2. I started a stack of "outfits" for Disney and I put them on the shelf in my closet. Yep, I tried them on. Depressing as it can be that I did not lose the weight that I had hoped for. I guess I can still try though.

I am also going to tackle scrapbooking my window decorations this weekend. At first I was going to buy some and then I figured I may as well put all this scrapping equipment that I have to some use. I got colored markers for the cruicut so I am going to see what I can come up with with the cartridges that I have. I think I have 5 or 6 Disney cartridges so I hopefully will come up with something.

I also plan to call Disney and cancel the duplicate ADR's that Jenn and I both made. Yikes, I need to do that right away so someone else can get them. I have to make that a priority.

Mom Update

Well my mom is freaking about this trip right now. She is having serious issues with her ear. So bad that it has sent her to the doctor a handful of times and to the ER once. On Monday she's going to see an ENT and we hope that this will resolve it once and for all. As of right now she is not allowed to fly and it is totally freaking her out! I am crossing my fingers that it gets better.

DH Update

DH is still looking for a job. Has another interview on Tuesday so that's a good thing.

Life Update

Work is crazy busy for me. I just hired a new team and we're going through transition now. I'm working many, many hours these days and don't get paid over time but I am thankful for a job. I just got back from a business trip to the DC area. It's beautiful there and I really want to some day take a monument tour. DH's great grandfather has a painting hanging in the Smithsonian so it's always nice to be able to see that....especially since it was hanging in DH's dining room as a child.

So that's it for now. I will post any window decorations that I come up with!
