I have been making a list of things I want to remember to take along with me on vacation. We’re less than 3 months away and I feel so unprepared. I know I definitely need a new pair of sunglasses; even though I rarely wear them they sure come in handy on vacation. I wonder why that is? Lisa found some really nice women's sunglasses at Kaenon.com
Lisa is busy helping to plan a baby shower, so she’s internet deep in baby shower favors but I know as soon as she pulls off this baby shower, all her focus will be on this Disney trip!
I know Lisa has always wanted a Disney 'engagement' but she has never really mentioned a Disney wedding. I found this photo online while doing a search for perks when staying at the Grand Floridian:
Of course I made the mistake of showing this to Lisa - what do you want to bet she'll be online later looking for mens wedding bands; she already asked me if I have any friends to be groomsmen and what kind of groomsmen gifts they'd like. I can't believe people actually get married in Disney World! Really?
Back to the friends question - I don't have any friends and that is the way I LIKE it!
It's been a crazy couple of months. Let's see, Lisa and and I both had horrible sinus infections around mid-September. I remember one day, I was coughing so bad and I felt my back twist from coughing really hard. Ever since then my lower back has really hurt. Then Lisa and the kids got H1N1 (supposedly) in October, right before Halloween. That really kicked their asses!
Over the course of November/December I have just been dealing with back pain until a fall down the steps at home forced me to the doctor. I have 2 herniated discs. NOT FUN. I do see a specialist but not until the end of this month. I really hope this is on it's way to healing by our Disney trip, our next vacation is April 30 - May 8!
I am looking forward to going, I need a vacation! This time I will be more prepared, I will make sure I have a decent pair of men's sunglasses and sunscreen with a higher SPF to keep my tattoos better protected!
It's official, we are the proud owners of 320 points at Disney's Bay Lake Tower! It feels strange, I never thought we'd buy a vacation home anywhere, much less Disney but we did and to think it all started when we saw a cool Disney display at one of those custom tradeshow exhibits we go to once in a while.
Lately this blog has felt as dead as I have. Every day like clockwork the king of Polaris RZR accessories runs his bike by my house about 20 times. Yah it’s day time but it’s my night time since I’ve been working overnights! That’s really why I haven’t been posting much lately. I’m pretty dead all day. In three weeks I go back to days so hopefully I’ll be able to post more. Lisa’s still pushing for her DVC and hopes to have it within the next two months so I’m sure I’ll have plenty to talk about soon! Well, I’m back to attempt sleep!
As if buying the Mustang didn’t set Lisa back on her quest to get a DVC, getting busted for speeding, reckless operation and no seatbelt was a sure fire way of setting us about another grand or so! Oh wait, I GOT OUT OF IT! It was either the fact that I was driving such a killer legend lime Mustang or it was the fact that I just looked cool all hunkered down in the seat just chilling in my sports sunglasses and jamming to the Cowboys from hell! He didn’t seem too impressed with me or the Mustang to be truthful but he said it was my lucky day and he let me go! So, I avoided a huge fine and a few points. Needless to say, Lisa didn’t find it too amusing.
Lisa and I were having one of our spirited debates about our immanent purchase of a DVC at Bay lake Towers in Disney when I told her I’d like to get the supercharger for my Mustang before we purchase her DVC. I was promptly overruled when she hit me in the head with one of the boys Magformer kits. She hit me hard too! I guess the argument is finally over since she resorted to violence! The DVC comes first and the super charger comes second.
So Lisa put the stop to buying a 1960's inspired golf cart but she said we could take a day and try out one of the golf courses in Disney. I'll have to look into it but I don't thin we'd have enough room for any clubs so I'd have to rent my golf equipment when I get there. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one but it seems kind of lame renting clubs!
Also, I'm not too sure how the kids would handle it. I guess they'd have to hang with Grandmas while we went for a few hours. I'm guessing we'd only be able to pay the front 9.
Recently I’ve taken a bit of heat from my friends for taking up golf. Apparently it’s not as cool as it was five years ago but I'd like to think I might have enough talent to actually play. A buddy of mine was giving me grief until I showed him a link to a 1960’s Mustang inspired golf cart I’ve been thinking about buying. I’m a rather lazy person and I hate lugging around all that golf equipment so riding in style sounds like a good idea to me. I’d just need to have it painted legend lime and put some mini-pipes on it! Yes folks, this is why we don’t have a DVC yet!
Don’t you hate when you get side tracked? Well, Lisa’s been working hard to get the down payment up for her DVC but we keep getting side tracked. Some of it’s been my fault but some of it’s not been my fault. For example, my fault is the new Mustang sitting in my garage. It’s my Mustang’s fault however that it didn’t come with the Vortec Supercharger that was on display at the performance shop I frequent. I walk into the store and right there in the center of the store, on a nicely decorated peninsula display was the exact Vortec Supercharger I want for the Mustang! So, now I’m saving up for that.
It’s not my fault that Lisa wanted to have the basement renovated into a living area. It’s not my fault that we blew out budget by 3K. We really need the extra space and it’s just about done so we shouldn’t incur much more debt for it but still, I know it set her back.
So now that we have these things out of the way, I really hope that she can get back on track because I know it means a lot to her and she deserves to have it!
