Are they doing dinner in August? DH *really* wants to go. In fact, that's the only dinner request he has made.

Life Update

After losing Dino , which I still think about 24/7, I've been trying to dump myself into Disney planning.

Work is insane these days which leaves me little time to do anything.

Joe had an interview the other day and they told him that they are recommending to HR that they make him an offer. Is it his ideal job? no. Are they going to let him take off to go to Disney? Yes. Is it close to home? No. However.............. he has another interview at a law firm that is down the street from where I work. Keep your fingers crossed......... It SOUNDS like he has one offer coming (they said it will take two weeks) and I am hoping he gets an offer from the law firm, but who knows.

Also, we had a nice little treat of 3 additional weeks of salary for him that we were not expecting. It seems that his former employer is paying him longer than we had originally thought. How I missed that being in HR myself I will never know....but like I said, work is insane for me and I'm just not myself these days.

Trip Update
I spent last night updating the infamous binder. Stupid morons at Continental keep changing our flights. Jerks cut about 8 hours off of our vacation so far.

I also updated my special little spreadsheet showing all of our ADR's, etc. and that will get laminated as we get closer to departure.

I have planning sheets for each day that also have lines for my notes for my TR. Those were updated as well.

I got all of my Disney Dollars together. Have them spread out all over the place. Seems we have $571 so far. Today I am going to the bank to get cash for my tip envelopes (estimates, of course) and for our OOP food expenses. I want to get that done and just have it ready to go. Not that it is a large sum but I figure the more I can get together and ready to go, the better.

I have a shelf in my closet collecting stuff to pack. The shirts that mom and I made are there, along with capri's, shorts, etc. I have around 5 pair of shoes that I want to take and it looks like we'll be checking 4 bags....cha-ching for Continental on the bag fees. jerks........

I've got my stuff to ship ahead ready to go. Just have to go to UPS and send the stuff a week before we leave.

I've managed to squirrel away enough for the Wishes Cruise and the cake so that's definitely a GO now! I plan to call next week (at the 30 day mark) to order the cake. I don't think I can do that now.

Gotta make the ressie for the photo shoot next week too. I did the pre-pay CD so that's ready too. Printed the confirmation and it's in my trusty old binder already.

Got my cat sitter(s) ready to roll. My sister and my nephew are taking care of the for me.

So, what am I forgetting???????

Oh yeah.....I still have to scrapbook stuff for the window. I am also taking a strand of lights. Can't recall how far the nearest outlet is so I will probably pack an extension cord as well. If I think of it I will take Halloween lights too.

That's about it for now. Let me know what I am missing!

 

[inkedupmomma]

YAY for you keeping the cruise and cake! Your momma is still coming with us to 1900 for dinner right??
