Thank you. I really try not to post too much about the carp going on over here, but it's gems like these that I've been dealing with constantly and I need an outlet and support. My therapist thinks I've been coping better lately, but I tell you it's a huge effort. I will be so happy for my week with DD during Christmas break! Not sure if I've posted our plans yet - we'll be spending a few days in San Francisco, a few days in Monterey Bay, and then probably one night near Hearst Castle. Can't wait!!

Your philosophy is the same as mine. If family want to show ...fine, if they don't...fine. They miss out. I'd rather have anyone who really wants to be somewhere else be there than be around someone grumpy. On Christmas Eve my sister has gone to having an early evening open house for family and her kids boyfriend/girlfriends (she has teens/20 somethings) and she has sloppy joes and all the fixins for dinner. The pizza idea is a good one. :)

Pizza came a couple years ago for Christmas Eve. That was the one holiday my Mom cooked for and it was getting harder on her, she is too old for this now but she can't drive at night and neither can my Dad. They are far from here so going to get them and bring them back isn't an option. Pizza should be a solution. Should.

Last year she was going to order them when we were twenty minutes out. Messed up the order. Pizzas were there when we got there and she was in the dining room eating her salad alone as we all were coming in snapping the pizzas were here and we weren't so she decided to start without out us. :rolleyes::banghead: With the distance we travel and weather, planning food for the moment we are scheduled to arrive isn't a good thought process. Stressful. We have to go through two railheads yards in route and anything can happen. Pizza at best takes 20 minutes to be delivered. Ahhhhhhhh. Love her dearly but age is certainly taking its toll.

All Dressed have been here for my whole lifetime. I don't know if they are the most popular. It seems to me that regular and salt and vinegar would be more popular in my part of the country. But they might be the most poplar Ruffles flavours. Ruffles aren't that popular here because we have our own chip companies. I love All Dressed.

Salt and Vinegar come and go around here. Never know. But my DD and I love them. It is good with portion control though. I can't eat as many of them as I can sour cream or cheddar. My family likes BBQ flavored, me not so much. I'm not a big fan of the sweet, I prefer that salt and savory flavors.

I hear you. I have had some serious hardcore breakups in my life, and I guess there is no universal answer on how to cope, except of course to listen to Adele (well, that's what they all say), but the bottom line, which really is the one true thing that I've learned over the years......is that time really does heal everything. I don't know if that helps worth a damn now when everything is going down, but eventually this will all be a memory, and you will hopefully be in a better place.

It does help. I know eventually things will be much better. And all his inane texts and emails have less impact on me as the days go by, so some days it's almost funny, but others it's just severely annoying. At this point, I'm simply waiting for my life to move forward. Hopefully in a few more months...

We had to select the second option.

AKL was packed. So we went for the Old Key West DVC.
Will be only one day at the Port Orleans Riverside because we're going to arrive VERY LATE at night.
so.. the 30th we leave, hit POR, next day, we leave POR, arrive to OLD KEY WEST and then head to EPCOT for the rest of the day.

I am really interested to hear when you return what your take is on OKW. It is spread out like POR actually built in the same general time frame. I really like OKW as the rooms are large and the resort reminds me of Florida of yesteryear. It has a very different feel than most of the DVC resorts, it is pretty private and relaxing. We are thinking of staying there in the spring after spring break of course. Buying points there is reasonable.

Wow, 24 already. I too know how that time flies... :confused:

Yes, we used to get all kinds of compliments about our standard plastic bags, especially during the holidays.
When I first started at The Disney Store the purchasable bags with handles were made of a more cloth-like material.
I think it was about 2 years or so later that they went to the newer, coated material.
We also used to put them on sale all the time, too. If I remember correctly, the regular price, when I left, was $3.50.
And yes, we had some bags for boys, but most were definitely geared towards the girls/women. I think they said it was because ladies were more apt to carry a bag like that, than guys. ;) :)

I like them for gift bags. Cheaper than wrapping paper and a bow and a gift within a gift.

Ha! Know the feeling.

I actually just clicked your profile to read your posts so I could enjoy all the photos of your weekend that I didn't want to get skipped. I frequently do that always being behind and not wanting to miss anyones trip reports Disney or otherwise.
