OK, newsy update for my small band of followers.
1. DD15 didn't get the swim coach job. I am sad for her but the people who beat her out were truly more qualified. So that leaves the "summer job hunt" up in the air. I don't know if she'll get one; the labor market is tight for a 15-turning-16 year old, even a smart, motivated one.
2. I got through DD13's birthday yesterday, which included 8 12 and 13 year old girls running around my house all evening. I am going to admit here (but nowhere else) that I probably spoiled her a little more this birthday knowing that very soon I will have to tell her what DD15 is getting to do for her birthday. DD13 got almost all her requests for the party (they really weren't over-the-top) plus we redid her room -- new bed, curtains etc. -- for her big birthday gift.
3. The Disneyland calendar is up through the end of May, so only about 3 more weeks 'til I get official park hours. I am hoping people who see the new 60th anniversary stuff report back so I know what is worth our time for entertainment. I'm not a camp-out-for-parades person, but the combo of the new night parade plus a fireworks/projection show might make it worth my friend and me saving spots while the girls run around a bit more. Since we only have two days we will make the most of it, but we are getting old and tired!
4. BFF told me (without directly saying it, because DD13 was there) that she has booked us at the Paradise Pier hotel. Not sure if she got an AP rate yet, but we have a place to crash!!
So the trip is coming into focus. It seems like a long time away, but really it's just over 2 months away!
