Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!

[NaCler]

I'm glad to hear it MmeLeota... I really didn't want you to cancel, I just wanted you to know that we would understand if you had to. We will do our best to help you unwind from all of this stress!

[dichuy]

Thanks Mousekedude for the chat last night! I apologize if I kept talking too much. It's something I seem to do when I meet new Disney freaks and I get all excited.

Well, he got me so excited about coming down Jan. 7 and 8. I'm really gonna try. The All Star properties are unavailable, but I got a really great deal with David's vacation club for the Boardwalk Villas for just a little more than All Stars. Plus, that way I can spy on the two couples hehe . I'm still trying to meet up with my manager to discuss taking a day off cause January is a crazy month for us here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. MmeLeota, I'm so glad you can still make it!

[MmeLeota]

I hope you can make it dichuy!!! We would love to meet you!!!

[Mousekedude]

Thanks for the words of support, guys. And Dichuy: you're welcome, and I hope I was motivational enough to get you there!

Good news, all! Our pal, Mindflipper is coming to our rescue with the gifts! The box is large and heavy, and the contents very fragile, and I was fretting over how we were going to get it all there. But Mindflipper is going to let us ship it directly to him, and he'll bring it with him when he drives down the Friday before the meet-up! Thanks, buddy!

Good ole mindflipper. You can always count on him...unless it involves a log and water spray

There will definitely have to be a Midwestern meet-up. You'll get used to it! But you have to promise not to call our area Michiana That term has become so ubiquitous to describe the Michigan/Indiana border area that school children wonder where it is on the map ~ and they wonder why kids fail on standardized testing

Ok, seeing as we have some southwestern Lower Michigan people, some south-central Wisconsin people, and I'm from Indy, we should all meet in Chicago. I drive there 2-3 times a month on business (can you say I hate I-65??? ) and can scope out some great locales.

Wow! That's awesome of you mindflipper!!!

Most definitely!!! So that's cy1229, Amy, F1gment, the double Boilers and Cbog40 & me...sounds like enough of us to create some Chicagoland Mayhem!!!

[Soarin08]

Major bummer Amy!!! But I know we'll be able to meet up soon on our own...we've got to plan a Chicago meet up for us midwesterners. (I've got to get used to that )

So once again, Murphy's Law kicked in and things have changed again....hubby's work changed their relocation policy and there is a cap on how much they will pay for the relocation. With this whittled down budget and all this last-minute frustrating waiting to find out what's going on, we have no choice but to do the whole thing on our own. (the original plan included movers to come in and take care of everything) So we are now left with 3 days to get everything packed up, find a truck and head out....we have to be there by early next week. UGH!!!

So...we are still going to make the trip since we already have the plane tickets and the room. But I'm not sure of the extent of our participation...we will for sure meet up for Wishes! But I'm not sure of our park ticket situation, nor am I sure of our dining situation yet. Hopefully I'll know more fairly soon since the trip is coming up fast...

I'll have my maingate pass if you need tickets.

Sorry I have not been around much all! Thanks for all of your well wishes and Pixie Dust. Phys. therapy is slow going and painful. My ankle is healing nicely but my back/leg are bothersome. I think I can pretty much forget a "PR" for the 1/2. I will be happy to just start/finish. My running has been sparse and a struggle. Very frustrating.

M-dude, thanks for posting updates for me!!! I'm so sorry Mouseoholic is still in Austrailia. Like NaCler said, don't stress yourselves about gifts! You two were so generous last year. It will be lovely just to have everyone together.

Amy, I'm so sorry you won't be able to join us. You will be missed! P.S. I have your ornaments on our tree again this year!!! I smile everytime I look at them!

Mmeleota, hope you and C-bog are doing well. Pixie Dust headed your way, I know the move has you stressed out.

If I forgot anyone else, I apologize! I'm trying to get caught up here and may have missed some stuff.

That would be awesome! But I don't want to take advantage either...we'll have to see how things go once we get the move out of the way.

[Mouseoholic]

Hi guys!!!! I just wanted to drop a line. It's Saturday and I am here at work just plugging away until Monday when I finally get to go home. I was tired of listening to my ipod so I turned to Subsonic to lift my spirits which let me to take a few minutes to give you all a quick shout out from Ausiland.... I feel like Dorothy in that I keep telling myself "There is no place like home". If only I could click my heels and be home snuggling up next to Mouskedude.

Well, I am looking forward to December ***repost...January*** ***sorry, I am so lost in work that I seem to have forgotten what month it is***. I got my Crocs all orderd and hope they arrive before we leave. =)

See you all soon.....
Mouseoholic!

[Mousekedude]

shows you how frazzled she is... "December..?"
Miss you too, sweetie. Hurry home!

Well, Australia is halfway around the world and in a different month...errr...time zone
Thanks for taking a minute to say hello Mouseoholic, we know you're super busy over there. Are you talking about shoe crocs or real crocs?

[mindflipper]

Hey, no one pick on Mouseoholic! She's very kind to be the central organizer while she's working hard in Australia. We all know she meant January. Maybe she wishes it could be this month after all her time in Australia!
