I mean, don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get there, but I'm not at the can't-sleep-oh-my-gosh-its-almost-here state. This is the calmest I've ever been before a trip. I really do blame the meds. They keep me pretty darned tired and laid-back. Just increased to my final dosage (hopefully, as long as the doc doesn't increase it) so the last couple of days have been rougher. LOL, you girls have got to be tired of me spouting off about it! But, the good thing is that I'm getting everything done without the stress. What gets done, gets done. Decided I wasn't going to volunteer today though so I can get more accomplished. I've laid the clothes out, now they need a good ironing. Oh, and we've been attacked by ants! So it will be the me versus killer (dramatizing for effect) ants this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Go get 'em and show no mercy. I guess I'm a bit more restless about my trip since my check-list is all checked. Having things to do keeps me calmer. Send me some of your meds. I DO have one thing left to do. I need to make some Mickey Mouse cookies for the manager of the CCI, but I really can't do that until right before we leave. So, I guess I'll be tossing and turning and having freaky Disney dreams for the next 3 weeks.

Although, you didn't offer to make any Mickey Mouse cookies for Tinkerbell and I! Okay, I'm off to take a nap before ironing. I really need it today. Feeling kinda weird, my arms are all a tingling and numb feeling! *heads off to Dreamland where I will dream of Tinkerbell's family and mine strolling down Main Street eating Mollysmom's cookies with Mickey Mouse*

It's something I have also taught Molly. So, we will be baking cookies in 100 degree heat for Miguel at the CCI. Whoa, it sounds like you're having a bit of a rough patch. If you still feel funny after your nap, promise that you will call your Dr. Hopefully, you just over did it this weekend...you DID accomplish a ton. Pop back on after your nap and let me know how you're feeling. Sweet dreams.

Sorry to worry you! :hugs: To be honest, it is just nice to be able to chat with you guys about it because I don't tell anyone here-- since this board is anonymous -- its easier to talk about things. But, the good news is that I was woken up by my doc! She received my bloodwork back from last week and said that my levels were GREAT, which means I get to back the dosage back off again because I am fine at the lower level! *does the happy dance* Also, she said that she will write me a letter For DL stating I should avoid the sun as much as possible due to medication I am taking --- so hopefully that will help me to keep out of the sun!! YAY! Did I mention that I just love my doctor? I so need to write a letter of how wonderful she is to the administration! Well, since I am being a big fat lazy slob today and getting NOTHING done, I think I'll go read for a little while before I get to work. Although I am so going to do SOMETHING at SOME POINT to get organized for the trip! Again, thanks for the concern oxoxox BTW --- do you guys ever have lawn mower races? That would be a blast! hehe
Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM Whew...I will not worry about you any more, but DO try to take a slower pace this week. You don't want to burn yourself out before friday. Being a big, fat lazy slob is good once in a while. I did that yesterday myself, and it felt pretty good. We used to race, but I rolled my mower down the hill, so DH said we can't do that anymore. Molly crashed into an apple tree looking behind her to see if I was catching up, so DH says until we girls pay better attention we can't race. However, we all have been known to rev up our engines and do a bit of NASCAR driving from time to time...just not "full on" like we used to. Besides, DH got himself a new mower last year, and there's no way we could beat him now.

Did she give the okay to drive the Autopia car? I did get out to run some errands today to get stuff for the trip. I happened to pick up the soundtrack for "Hairpsray" while I was at it! What fun! Now I want to go see the movie again instead of packing! John Travolta/Edna talks about "arning" in the movie quite a few times (ironing with a Baltimore accent) and he's always at the ironing board. Just like MollysMom! lol I did get my "arning" done last week, so I have one check mark, I guess! I am happy to report that I now have the car fee down to $244! I think, I've changed it so many times, I can't keep track! It goes down every time I look. sometimes it's only $3 or $4 so I wait 'til the end of the night and confirm it when it's about $14 less. It's been happening every night now, so I've confirmed and cancelled about 10 times so far. (My email box is full of confimations and cancellations from Thrifty.) Yesterday I couldn't get on their site and I swore it was b/c they had blocked my ISP address! My goal is to reach Mollysmom's rate! By the way MM, you have plenty to keep you busy for the next week at least, making sure Mickeynewe and I get to DL with everything we need!

Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM Yay on the car rental, tink. You still have about a week to go, so who knows where you may wind up...maybe even better than my rate. While you've been goofing off at the movies and such, mickeynewe has totally kicked your rear at preparing for vacation.
Originally Posted By mickeynewe << mickeynewe has totally kicked your rear at preparing for vacation. >> ...so take that Tinkersbell! Naw, just kidding, really -- I'm not competitive AT ALL...nope not me! *looks innocent* Tink, can you believe MM isn't baking US cookies? US! She'll bake them for a complete stranger (Miguel), but not her buds! AND, after you can up with that AWESOME idea of a surprise for her. Oh, you want to know what surprise MM? Well, um, that would be a SECRET now wouldn't it?! hahaha
Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM I'm not fallin' for the, "we have a surprise for ya" line just so you can get me to bake you some cookies. Besides, you pigged out on a burger and fries the other day, and I know that tink probably had some junk food at the movies this weekend, so being the bud that I am, I am going to watch after what's left of your girlish figures and not contribute to your ravenous cravings.
Originally Posted By mickeynewe Hmmm, I don't know about you Tink, but MM might have a point! My tushie isn't getting any smaller! *whispers* Especially since I managed, thanks to the very generous nature of a wonderfully sweet woman we had the pleasure of meeting, to secure reservations at Club 33 for a birthday luncheon for my hubby! You can guarantee there will be more food than I can eat and it is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! I will have to go on the hunt for a special thank-you-gift for her!
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 OMG!! Club 33! I've only seen the lobby during a Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour and took about 30 photos of it! Please, please, please, take tons of photos for us peons!
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 stopped mail...check stopped newspaper...check (took about 3 seconds, but patting myself on the back anyway) looked at Mickeynewe's amazing photos...check
Originally Posted By mickeynewe ummmm---- send a pic of your family to mickeynewe - UNcheck LOL -- You have an unfair advantage! You know what all my family looks like (probably want to avoid us!), but I'm gonna be out and about yelling, "Tinkerbell819? Tinkerbell819?" and perfect strangers are going to think I'm nuts (good thing I don't care what people think of me) but it STILL could be a LITTLE awkward! I think we are going to be meeting up with another friend while we are down there too! So much fun!
Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM Mornin', ladies. So, how excited are you guys? You are just about down to counting the hours now. I'm jealous, and I will miss you both next week.

We have our parts department's summer party this weekend, for which I get to make 500 jello shooters by friday. Next weekend, we have the service department's summer party, and then the following weekend we leave for DL. We're going to miss the dealership's cruise this year. They are boarding the boat at the same time that our plane is landing. I'm still gonna miss you guys, but I know that you are going to have tons of fun, and I'm so glad that you will be able to meet. mickeynewe...I checked for cheap flights on Alaska that were mentioned on that other thread this a.m......$663.60 to hop down for the weekend. Poop. I guess while you are having fun, I'll be lounging by the lake and drowning my sorrows in lime vodka jello shooters. I hope 500 will be enough.
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 MollysMom, I'll have a computer with me next week and will keep in touch so you don't get lonely. (You could still be passed out from the jello shots, however...)
Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM Oh, please let me know how much you are enjoying yourself...I'd really like that. Not too often, though, you're supposed to be on vacation having fun, not yaking on line with me. Friday, saturday, and sunday will be ugly as far as shooters go, but I should be fully recoverd by noon monday...or maybe tuesday.
