My Prince and I have two beautiful Mickey-lovin-girls and we live in Massachusetts. I LOVE to read and I do that a lot--especially about Disney. I haven't read this David Koenig book yet but I think he wrote at least one of my other Disney books that I have. I guess I sort of collect Disney books, although I am sure many of your collections would blow mine away! My collection is missing all of the books that have not been easy to find for the last 5-10 years. I just keep adding, adding, adding! Can anyone join in your book club? If so, please count me in. Will we post right here on this thread? Hey, In case anyone is interested and is also part of Borders Rewards Club, I got an email from them today for 40% off one book so check your inboxes. Now, with a little pixie dust they will have it in stock this afternoon while I have the coupon! Thanks for taking the time to read my little introduction! Have a magical day!

If it's going via UPS or FedEx, you can find out where the package is right now and when it's due to be delivered.
Originally Posted By piperlynne yeah, I have the tracking number. . .UPS. It has so far. . not changed since the 24th. I think someone jacked my mouse book. :-(
Originally Posted By alexbook At this point, I'd call UPS and ask what's up. I deal with them all the time, and they're usually pretty responsive.

I'm on page 219 of MouseTales.. winding down.

Also, I warn you, avoid this guy known as WDWdreamin, as he is a complete doofus! ;p Kidding. Also, welcome to LP, stick around, get comfortable, and have fun.

Originally Posted By yekcim DyGDisney and Alexbook, thanks for the answers! WDWdreamin, I will post an introduction on the Community thread tonight, thank you for the direction for the right place. Anyone that has two guidebooks without a date is sure to find that this type of book will be your first of many! You know what they say, it was all started by a Mouse. umm I mean Mouse Tales book. DVC Pongo, thanks for the welcome. Since you asked about my name I picked it because I LOVE hidden Mickeys. At home and at Disney. I find them everywhere! In fact, I like them so much that I decided to make my screen name one. YEKCIM kind of has a ring to it, don't you think?! Come on sing with me now...you know you want to! Who's the leader of the Club that's made for you and me YEKCIM MOUSE? Hey there, hi there, ho there **thanks for making me as welcome as can be** YEKCIM MOUSE! Anyway now that I have that song stuck in everyone's heads I better get going. That is the story of my name though and I really do appreciate your welcome wishes, thank you! Thanks, Alexbook, also for the tip about the Looking Glass thread! Is that about Disney books too? I am going to search for the Looking Glass thread tonight when I hop on to also post something on the Community thread to say hi there. I better wait until after I'm home from work and have the girls in bed for that part though.

Everybody, you can call me dreamin if you want to. I finished the book today! Yekcim, cool name now that you've explained it! and I may start collecting now... but after I move back to So Cal. Pongo, so what's happening with the kid issue?

I'm sort of getting a new mindset over the whole thing. Actually, maybe it will be ok.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Wow, we don't have any kids yet. Well, we're not even married yet either. My Dfiance is actually still in Germany. He works in automotive engineering so the US is not a good job market for him. I can't imagine handling all those. But my mom was a pre-school teacher and she loved it. I believe STiL also has 7 kids. 11, WOW! Good luck with it. May you find all the patience and energy you need.
Originally Posted By magic0214 Hey just ordered the book and Mouse Under Glass too from Half.com. Great website, had no idea it existed! But, I am a quick ready so will be done by the 15th. Maybe, if we all enjoyed this one, we should read Mouse Under Glass. Well anyway, just wanted to update everyone.

I'm itching to put in my amazon order for Netherland and War of Necessity, War of choice and wanted to make sure I added whatever book we're reading next month so I didn't run into this problem again. LOLOL
