I am half debating acrylics for the trip but probably not. Have fun with the nails.
Allison got acrylics - she has really bad nails and can't seem to grow them, but the rest of us just did gel manicures. I love gel! Sadly, because of her job, Allison has to pay to have them taken off before she can go back to work.
I can't see to see your nails.
I'm impressed that you are all packed and ready to go. I'm in single digitals and have given very little thought to packing, other then pulling the girls few disney shirts from the clean laundry.
Pretty much packed and ready to go... Do our trips overlap? If so, we should plan a Dismeet!
You need to include some Magic Band covers in your next auction. I imagine they would do really well! Plus, I think I need some
Enjoy your day today!
Hahaha... I might just do that - so many people seem to like them.
Thanks - I did - I hope you did too!
I do love the Donald/Snow White and Toy Story band covers! It doesn't surprise me in the least that you had to doll them up a bit more. Plain has never been your trademark! They are great! And doing a pattern is probably a great idea! Why don't you do that while you're bored???
I hope Josh smoked something too. Great turn of phrase!!
The nail excursion sounds really fun! Are you getting pedis too? It's so much more fun when you've got other people with you. I predict a lot of laughter.
Has Olivia seen her bag yet? Did she like it? How could she not, really.
I'll be sending your Dad a postcard from Disney. Last time I sent the castle. What else would he enjoy especially?
Have a wonderful, un-boring day today!!! You're going to Disney…soon!!!!
Hahaha... If I would have thought of it a week ago - I would have. LOL Now I don't think I have the time?
Yes, we did manis and pedis - except for Alli - she doesn't like people touching her feet.
Yes, Olivia received her bag yesterday... She loves it!
Hmmm... He might enjoy a postcard of Epcot... He was there once when we went down to visit my Aunt and Uncle who used to live in FL... Where do you take someone who has never been to WDW before and likely won't again? Epcot?
Thanks! It was wonderful and definitely not boring... Tomorrow will be the boring day. LOL
I love the covers with the ruffles. I really loved the Snow White/Donald one.
I am debating on getting a manicure before I leave. I am definitely getting a pedicure tomorrow during lunch but a manicure is still up in the air.
Thanks! I love using ruffles in anything I can. LOL It's tough though, because Magicbands are so tiny. LOL
You should!!! It's so much fun! I just love my nail guy - he is awesome! I am probably the only person who comes in and asks for dots. LOL
I'm scheduled for hair and a mani next week, but my nails don't seem to want to grow, so I went last week to get them polished, hoping they will be a bit longer next week. Did that make any sense?
I, for one would buy the mb cover pattern.
Your getting close now!
Yay!!! I hope your nails grow... I had to chop off 3 of my nails last week - so 3 of them are a bit shorter than the rest. My guy offered to lengthen them for me, but he changed his mind because he was afraid they wouldn't hold up for our trip... It didn't matter one way or the other for me - as long as I had my dots!
Awesome!!! I think that is something I can do... Can't be that hard to make a MB pattern... LOL
I swear, the last little bit is the WORST! You have everything done and you are just waiting, unable to think of anything besides leaving!!
I both do and don't look forward to that stage myself!
Nails turned out ADORABLE!! Love them, I am thinking of doing my toes since I will be wearing the tevas mostly. My fingers never seem to do good, the paint always comes off, so I will probably leave them be.
I know... I am a total wreck right now... LOL
Thanks! You should - it's so fun! And with your painting skills, you could do them yourself - easy, peasy.
Ugh! Flooding is never good. We were having quite a bit of flooding a few months ago. It was like the whole city was underwater. Never fun to deal with!
I'm glad that you have a little bit of time to just 'relax' before you trip! I hate that feeling where it's right before a big trip, and it seems like up until the minute you leave it always go, go, go. Always good to have everything done a few days ahead of schedule.
I think you should market the MB covers to Disney. It's a great idea! I think it would become really popular.
Thankfully, by the time we went to town yesterday, all of the flooding I had seen the night before was gone - which surprised me, because it was FULL!
Yah... But I do go a bit stir crazy with nothing to do... Then I try to find stuff to do... My family thinks I am a bit nuts - can't argue really.
I wish I could... It would be fun, but I am sure they have already come up with that idea themselves... I am kind of anxious to get down there and see what kind of fun accessories they have for them.
Sounds like you've been keeping busy!! Can't wait to see your nails!!
We had a pretty exciting weekend! We got to go to the 49ers game at the new Levi's Stadium!!!!! It was awesome!!! While I was sad the Niner's lost we still had a great time!!! We left the older 3 with Jeff's dad and just brought the baby. He was so good and ended up falling asleep in my arms while we were watching the game! The noise didn't bother him at all. Another reason I loved getting to go is because Jeff did a lot of the HVAC work there and I got to see pictures that he'd taken during construction so I loved getting to go see the finished product!
Thanks! I am posting pics below.
That is awesome!!! And how cool that you were able to see Jeff's finished work. Glad you had a great time!
Please, please, please forgive my absence! I'm hopelessly behind but I'm so glad that I can see glimpses of your plans and prep for your trip via FB!
I loved your adorable MB covers. How clever are those!
I wanted to wish you all the best for your upcoming trip!
Hi Brenda!!!! No worries at all - I've fallen hopelessly behind on yours, as well. I agree - at least there is facebook. I find it easiest to follow TRs that aren't too busy... LOL But sadly, all of my friends have busy TRs too... LOL So, I am hopelessly behind everywhere. Sigh... I will try to pop in to say hello, at least.
Thank you and thank you!
**********************************************************
OK - so yesterday was fun!
We met up with BFF and Olivia to have our nails done for the trip... All of us had Mani/Pedis - except Alli, she had acrylics put on and no pedi. We went to the salon I've been going to for a while, and I think they did a great job. My nail tech is used to me now, and knew exactly what I wanted - I didn't even have to show him a picture... However - as much as I love his work, he still hasn't gotten the "Mickey Head" right... I might take that off today and redo it.
I"ll let all of you guess who is who...
Afterwards... BFF stole my children and took them to the mall... Alli wanted to go to the mall one more time before we leave, and BFF needed to go too... So, they all ran off together, and I came home to tan.
Josh and I had a nice romantic dinner for 2... Pork chops on the grill, baked potatoes and I had a side salad too. It was delicious!
BFF brought the girls home and visited for a while... We talked about the trip and what our game plan is...
Then she left and I went to bed.
I've been having issues sleeping this week... I've been up every morning at 2am, and I haven't been able to fall back to sleep... Then when Josh gets up to get ready for work - he comes downstairs and yells at me... He is mocking me that I am too excited for our trip... I am about ready to belt him.
I"ll start you all off with a picture of our luggage staging, as it sits in my livingroom... I am packed and ready - except for that pile of bags on top of my luggage... V is packed and ready... Except for that pile of bags I have to add to her luggage.
And Alli... I think her luggage is still empty in the upstairs linen closet? I do know she has all of her clothes washed and ready to pack, because there has been a concentrated effort by her to wear "other" clothes this week... but other than that, not a clue where her packing stands?
So, our agenda for today...
I will be doing one of the levels of the 30 Day Shred... Not sure which level yet?
The girls have Dr.s appts this morning... We should be home by 11ish... If it's sunny, I am going to tan. If it isn't, I will work on the applique for my next bag. At 2pm, I have a (MUCH needed) hair appt... The last time I had it colored/highlighted was right before Chicago... So, I am due! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having my hair done, so I am very excited to have it nice and fresh for our trip.
Then, I will come home and make something for dinner...
At some point today, I am going to try to get those bags packed in V's luggage.
I also realized this morning, I don't remember seeing my shampoo/conditioner/body wash in my luggage, so I need to check the bag of shower products I put in V's luggage to make sure it's in there. I would be so sad if I forgot those items - I have certain scents I like to use while in Disney... It just makes me happier.
Alrighty - I hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Prayers and good thoughts to all!
