Disney, Disney, Here We Come
Yes, you heard me. We are going to DisneyWorld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, now that you are done screaming with me, let me tell you all about it. Due to some Christmas money, gift certificates, and money we didn’t spend on Christmas, we were able to pull this off. Disney is offering a buy 4 night get 3 free deal. This also includes your park tickets. Also, if you go before March 29th, you get a $200 gift card to Disney when you get there. I was able to find airfare from Southwest for $78 each way for each of us. To save a little money, we are making Will a lap baby (wish me luck on that one).
I was to Disney when I was 15, but haven’t been back since. This will be the first trip for Bill, Madison, and Will. Madison is pretty excited. Since I have a few weeks before we get to go, I’ll be talking a lot of Disney. 
However, Bill has already told me I am not allowed to pay for internet access while I am there, so you all will at least get a little break from the Disney madness.
Tell me about your trips to Disney. Anything we definitely need to do? Any advice you want to give me?
The Makeshift Mailbox
This is what my mailbox now looks like after our fix. If you didn’t read that post, a snow plow hit our mailbox in the middle of the night Friday night. However, you have to have a mailbox to have your mail delivered. Since the ground is frozen here, we can’t replace the mailbox anytime soon. Here is what it looks like now:
About that mailbox . . .
I’ve never been a big fan of my mailbox. However, it served its purpose till last night. We woke up this morning to our mailbox laying on the ground. Since a lot of my product reviews are sent by the mail, this is a very bad, bad thing. Second problem, it snowed here last night, so the ground is frozen. We think it was hit by the snow plow in the middle of the night (it was still there at 11 pm). The beam that actually holds the mailbox is split. We had to do a horrible fix job in about 20 degree weather today. Bill took some industrial clamps and zip ties and that is the only thing that is holding the beam together. The beam also leans forward pretty bad, so we had to take stakes and pound them into the ground around the base. This looks like the worst white trash mailbox I’ve ever seen, and there is no way to fix this until the ground thaws out. I am hoping to get some pictures of my sorry looking mailbox tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas of how to get new a mailbox into the frozen ground, I am all ears.
