Success Makes Me Sad
Is everyone ready for the holiday weekend? We aren't doing anything that special, Sunday is my mom's 70th birthday so we'll have everyon over then. Steve's off on the 4th so I'm thinking we might take the boys to a movie (if Ricky is even around) and try to find fireworks. One thing I hate around here is that they tend to do fireworks on the 2nd and 3rd, but hardly anywhere on the 4th Whatever you're doing I hope you stay safe and have fun!,

Moving on, I have lots of good news to share! First, yesterday a lovely CM refunded my MNSSHP tickets. If you remember from the beginning of this PTR we were supposed to go on 8/29 before we had to change our dates for football. This is great because it was a nice chunk of change, but sad because it reminded me we're not going. I went into the whole story of why we had to change our dates, how much I LOVE the party and how sad I am that we're missing it, and while she did mention that the tickets are non-refundable she then said she'd "make an exception this time" for me I'd like to think that makes me extremely special except I've heard of quite a few other instances where tickets are refunded, which honestly is a good policy.
Next, my ParkBound Buttons came! Here are my four:
I really wanted to wear the "Get in, we're going to Disney" button when I picked Ricky up from basketball camp the day they came since pretty much all his friends are there with him, but I decided to save the embarrassment for Disney.
And here's the special button I ordered for my special Chris:
Because he's SUCH A FUN GUY!!!! I wish they'd pick kids in Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor to be "that guy" because his personality would make for a great time As of now he insists he won't wear it but I bet $$ he walks out of the resort room at least one day with that pinned to his shirt.
Finally - and this is the best news, and while receiving this package wasn't a total surprise the contents really were - I want to share what a very special friend and fellow Disboarder sent me Whitney, @Whit64130 , who works full-time as a Labor and Delivery nurse AND takes care of a husband AND is a fellow TA, took the time to make these for me:
Not only were these fantastic and very much appreciated shirts in the package, so were these beautiful coasters!
I don't know why this came out upside-down, not happy but with all the trouble I and others are having just getting pictures to show up I'm not messing with it too much! I still hope without the picture right-side up you can get how gorgeous these are. I had to show all these off because not only did Whitney sending me these mean so much to me, but I wanted to show everyone her talent. Between getting money back and getting awesome mail I had an excellent week!
Finally, I tweaked a couple FP's and added/changed more dining. I also looked into ordering Steve and the boys some dri-fit Disney themed shirts from someone Renee @ArielSRL used for her trip earlier this month, so over the weekend I need to actually order those if I'm going to. Next I'm going to start posting our daily plans because as of today we're at
36 DAYS!!!!
