You do everyone's packing!? You really are a super-mom! I have a hard-enough time packing my own clothes, nevermind the rest of my family's. (That could be because I'm not a mom LOL.)

Do you like the billboards you see when you're driving on property? Those always get me, too.

Though we plan on awaking at 4:30AM, I, for one, will stay up as late as possible. Since the Magic Kingdom is open until 12 that night, I'll probably spend all night there. I'm a stay-up-late-sleep-in-late kind of guy (and the rest of my family is the same way, thank goodness.)

I have a Canon Rebel XS. I used to have a Canon Powershot but I 'outgrew' that, so to speak. I finally had to invest in a DSLR, which I consider a good investment, especially the lenses (my personal favorite being the wide-angle.)

OHHHH NOOOO you did NOT! lol or if you did, i'm hoping you counted the points LOL hey you know don't shoot yourself for it..just allocate for it! there ya go! that sounds like it works ...one candy bar won't kill you...you wanted it, you ate it, now move on. I had a rough wednesday too...work has been freaking crazy...so I inhaled but not too bad..just enough to make me feel a little guilty ha ha!

Glad it's been raining..brought down the heat a little. Hell, i'll take anything at this point.

I'm guessing you saw the "new" FD offer that just came out yesterday. I was thinking - would be nice if it covered my dates...but nope. If it's free I don't mind it...I just don't want to pay for it...

Hey guess what - 44 dayssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

Lol...what is this packing you speak of? If you're referring to the thing we do the day before we leave where I put clothes into a suitcase then...no. :lol:

I would imagine that if your car's at the shop now, you won't have too many other problems. Luckily we haven't had too many car troubles either...save for two months ago when the car thought it was at 5,600 feet above sea level and wouldn't intake air! That wasn't fun.

What I'm looking forward to most? Waking up at 4:30 to get to the airport, landing in Florida, checking in at the hotel, andgoing to EPCOT. But if I had one specific thing...well...I'm not sure if I can narrow it down to just one. It's the whole experience of it. At any rate, perhaps I'm most excited anout bringing my new camera. I'm bringing that and all three of my lenses, so hopefully I get some good shots.

This is getting me hungry...again! LOL

We're around 25 days away, I believe. I really can't wait. It just keeps coming, though the month of August seems so long.

$3,000!? Yikes! I'm glad that your dad could help out, though. What exactly went wrong with your truck, anyway? I'm driving a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder...we've kept it in good shape, but I'm not sure how much longer it'll last me.

Just joined your group! I can't wait to post some pictures when I get back from WDW.

Thanks for the warning about HBO! I guess I'll just catch their shows on DVD. I want to start watching The Sopranos, too.

Well, for the first time in over a week, I'm sitting at my desk typing this! It's so nice to be home, but I can't even tell you how excited I'm getting for WDW. Whilst waiting for my flight yesterday, I scheduled our entire itinerary. Now I just have to run it by the family, but I just learned that we never made reservations for Mama Melrose's in lieu of Via Napoli. We're not going to bother changing it now, but I haven't been to Mama Melrose's in years and would have liked to go back. Oh well! At least now we have a totally free day scheduled.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear your girl's night went bust. At least for next time your truck won't break down and it'll be the most ideal.

hi there! how do I join that group? think it would be cool to participate!

longg week it's been. linds has counseling tonight...we have WW tomorrow...only 47 days. I'm like ready to go now!!! LOL

sorry about your GNO! That kinda sucks! we had fun at Trackside though..think I told you but can't remember lol I can fill you in tomorrow...luckily they decided on a deal (the govt did) so my stocks are rebounding rapidly...was a bit worried LOL

This weekend we were visiting some cousins in NC (whom we have not seen in twor years), but the past week was spent visiting the other side of my family, whom we see more often. It's a whirlwind, but I'm enjoying it and looking forward to be home. Plus, all of these airports are making me that much more excited for WDW, even if my flight is currently delayed by hours.

The Art of Animation hotel is looking very nice...I hope they offer free dining for you guys! I think with the economy going the way it is, they'll probably still offer it.

Do you get HBO at your house? I'm tempted to buy it, but I don't have enough time for TV, and it is a bit expensive.

By the way, I've been watching some Flight of the Conchords lately. I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it.

stopping by to see how girls night out went! I hope you had some good fun, good food and good conversation...we are actually going to see a friend play at Trackside Grill tonight...have some dinner...listen to some good music. Haven't been out forever so should be fun...hey guess what ---49 DAYS WOOHOO! LOL

All of the houses are glorified monstrosities, but it's still a very gorgeous town. Right now I'm in Hickory, NC visiting some more family. It's been crazy lately- I get back from a two hour drive at 9PM then wake up the next morning at 530 for a flight to the middle of nowhere! It's sheer madness.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with loving WDW. Where are you staying for your Thanksgiving trip?

OOPS forgot to write last night LOL ok lots of stuff going on....HE has moved back to Acworth. Courts gave his mother custody today..but he was a ________ in how he told Linds..."hi bye peace out forever" and ran off - what an hole! lol she's been crying....pacing....crying...she is so much better then that little turd so I'm glad he is gone..and i HOPE his mother decides to keep him in school there now. We'll see! Long way to drive somebody to school 5 days a week you know?

2013 trips we went over last night...totally was verklempt over the stuff yesterday with linds and austin so i was totally bad today LOL which surprises me because usually i can hold it together. Back to norm again tomorrow a.m. starting with my workout...hope your day is ok!

I got the DVD set, but I also have the shows downloaded on my computer so occasionally I'll watch an episode or two on a whim.

Whoa! You got your husband to agree to a ten day vacation? Incredible! LOL. I could never convince my family to do that. I think when it comes to Disneyland trips, the heaviest prices are airfare. There are quite a few decently-priced hotels close to Disneyland, but if you found a way to make it less expensive, there are a lot of area attractions you could see as well. At least the next time you'll be there, all of the new attractions will be open!

There's always money in the banana stand! By the way, I'm ordering two AD bumperstickers to my car.

Oh, and hello from Stone Harbor, By the way!

I AM enjoying the book - thanks! I keep getting interrupted though LOL Will read over my lunch hour tomorrow and Tuesday I think...or maybe some in bed tonight..so many juicy tidbits to soak up - don't know how I'm going to possibly remember it all! Need a photographic memory ha ha ha!

I hear you but it sucks LOL and either way, even if he goes back to Acworth his mother has arranged him to stay in her school because she likes it...but he would be with her on the weekdays and supposedly back over here at his grandparents on the weekends - wah! lol We aren't sleeping so back to the little door latch hooks... I gotta work and make sense of what I'm doing..not worry about her wanting to rendevois on the back deck! LOL one good thing..she said in a FB message I saw....she won't do "that" again until she is alot older - yeah! lol

On about page 70 of the book and getting ready to go read more..I want to finish it before I give it back Tuesday night...and hopefully you are having a GOOD weekend! 55 days - woohoo!

That is very sweet of you to ask! Actually one of the girls I work with asked us to come over swimming this weekend and when I asked Lindsay...."I don't want to swim" - LOL I'm like WTH? You always used to like to swim!!! Nope not interested..not her but thx!

Speaking of..."he" has been around again. Doc said don't totally tell her she can't visit with him because that is when they go behind your back so they were out front for hourssssss. Trying to do what is right & handle it properly but it's hard when my emotions "talk" before my smart mind LOL he goes back to court Wednesday and hopefully his Mom gets custody again which means back to Acworth. UGH!!!

I've been watching a fair amount of Arrested Development lately. I'd suggest watching "Righteous Brothers", the Season Two finale. It's hands down one of the funniest episodes I've seen.

Careful! You may get sprayed with lighter fluid.

Ah ok! lol 10 minutes then but something is better then nothing and I know you can do it! I'm gonna cattle prod you LOL I WISH we had a pool - I love to swim and the exercise is awesome...

If I add the PH, which I think I'm definitely going to do it is specifically for more MK time..that is for sure! I just feel like I always hurry thru it because it is always SO packed that i can't fully enjoy it you know? Besides, I feel an inkling to kidnap the Captain Jack Sparrow that looks just like the real Captain Jack Sparrow LOL

10 minutes or 10 miles? lol

I'm probably going to add park hopper when I arrive...I keep looking at my schedule & thinking..."More time at MK" - of course what better time? Night time! I.E., Tues. I'm @ AK.-they close at 5. I want more fireworks at MK that eve - I'll hang back - not close to the castle but back so it doesn't take me 2 hours to get out & I'm thinking of doing dinner at the Contemporary the night before I leave (Fri. night) - I really want to see the fireworks from the 15th floor balcony & last year I put out all that $$ & Linds wanted to leave and we did! I really want that experience. You doing a Contemporary thing besides Chef Mickey's? The dinner was DELISH! more importantly..I want to hear music being streamed in & watch those fireworks from the rooftop!

This Punta Cana trying to find airfare for both of us for $1000 (the $$ the radio station is giving me) is hard right now..Airtran comes in at $1400...Delta at $2200 - it needs to go down not up! lol

Hi there - it's Thursday LOL did 25 fast ones on the tread mill this morning....am loving that 5 a.m. workout...gets me up and going! Just touching base to make sure you are doing ok and staying on track..have started on the book - very cool facts! Can wait to dive into it some more - going to be another hot one today but what else is new...oh yeah this is new.....58 and counting! woohoo!
