Another book to add to the list....

There's still no word on December novel releases, but we're rapidly coming to the time when titles may be released *cough*June*cough* for the first slate of Eleven books in April 2010, so while I'll still keep an eye out for a December release, I'm not overly optimistic. Here's the details on another book release for this fall, though....

The Doctor Who Files

All I know is it's 496 pages, hardback, supposedly a collector's edition (expensive!), and it's being put out by BBC Children's Books. To be released October 1st, 2009.

If it's out from the kids' division, it's probably a single-volume hardback collection of all the Doctor Who Files character/monster profile books from the RTD era. Although I have a couple of them and to my knowledge they never put enough of them out to constitute 500 pages of anything, so my guess is they're revamped and updated with lots of extra pictures and the like.

Hrm. I have a grand total of three of those books, probably the same ones you have. :) The stories are cute.

30 pounds?!? Better also make a damn fine cup of espresso for that...

*grins*

oh sweet! :3

October is going to be a very poor month around my house.... *headdesk*

*can feel the pain*

Plus, we've got a bucketful of trips coming up over fall/winter, starting in November. *hopes Waters of Mars airs on Halloween as suspected*

Sounds like us... just... push it to summer. *crosses fingers for them all petering off around July (i.e. no additions)*

Ohhhhhhhhh! If it does air near/on Halloween that's almost an anniversary gift! I'd go for that!

Yeah, two of the trips involve taking the girly-girls, one is international, another may as well be. I'm in the process of passport application for the small children. *grumbles*

Oooh! Yes! Anniversary gift! *dances*

eewww! Passport apps! Lemme know if you need help, I've reapplied a few times now, I'll help if I can. I know you definitely need to allow 6-8 months to get it (both being long numbers).*hughug* Good luck!

YES! :D Oct 29th! Oh god... 4 years!? wow... that really HAS flown by!

Thanks - the real pain is that both parents need to be there in person with said kidlings, and trying to find a time that suits my schedule as well as the hubby's is almost impossible.

I'm not worried about getting them in time - they theoretically won't be needed until April/May (ooh, that's when Series 5 will be airing, isn't it?), but thanks for the terribly kind offer!

ugh, yeah that sounds about right. *hughug* Good luck, for sure. That's gonna be a pain! OH! AND YES! It is airing then! :D

*headdesk*

*lovelove* I can't imagine. My parents had trouble coordinating on mine several times when I was a kid (Dad was Airforce for most of it, then a UA pilot for the rest of it- out of town A LOT). Is there anyway you could do it over a lunch break? Or during a short work break?

That would be way too simple! The older two will have school. And the post office closes at 4:30. :)

Hmmmmmmmmm I THINK may parents arranged an early end for an "appointment" for me. Mom came and got me around 1:30pm and we went to the PO. :/ I know my first one? I was a BABY BABY. The second I was about 14/15 (just young enough to not renew via mail) It was a nice half school day and one of the weeks dad was home?

That's prolly what we'll end up doing, or wair until they're off track (we have year-round school here). That might work better, actually. Sadly, they both love school and hate to miss it. :)

Keira will have her first passport at the young age of 2. That is just so cool. Katy is over the moon - they just finished their unit on countries of the world at school. She picked Saudi Arabia, for whatever reason.

XD; I was the same way. I hated missing school, even for illness!

XD; I think that's when mine was? I know the one my parents have from when I was a baby baby has a passport stamp from East and West Germany in it, Switzerland and OH so many others(we lived there when I was 2-5 years of age, possibly longer)? I have fond memories of it. I just wish I remembered more of my fantastic german! XD; I'm very good at umlauts and gutteral speaking tho! :D The one I had from about 14-15 (it was only good for 5 years, but since I was under 16 I was forced to completely redo the passport form-as I wasn't a minor any longer- That one was only stamped for a few places USA to France, France to Italy, Italy to USA) XD; My newest one has a TON of UK stamps, Japan, Spain, etc. The kids should get a kick out of it! :D

XD; She picked an interesting one! That's for sure!!!! Might I ask where you guys are headed? (Feel free to email if you like). It sounds like an amazing trip!

That's quite the collection of passport stamps you have! :) Here's a question for you - what happens if your book gets filled with stamps/visas before its expiration date? Do you have to get another book?

YES SHE DID. I could've helped her out with lots of the other choices, but maybe it's a good thing she picked a country she knew very little about before? She did all her work/presentation stuffs from scratch and did a great job. Making a burka sort of sucks, though. *is not good with sewing machines*

Here's the fall/winter schedule thus far:

Nov 2009: CAC International to Lanai'i, Hawaii (Yeah, it's US, but hey - Ireland next year! *dances*)

February 2010: (with girls) Disneyworld! We go every three years, and this will be Keira's first trip. She is going to pee in her pants when she sees Mickey Mouse!

April 2010: (with girls) Mexico for a wedding. (It's not exotic, but it's a good starter international trip for the girls. SHORT flight. *grins*) The couple in question haven't chosen the locale as of yet, but they're leaning toward an all-inclusive resort-type of thing. I can deal with that. Just give me a BIG umbrella and a few gallons of sunscreen. :)

I forgot about some of them. XD; I have Mexico in there too (on the older one). XD;;; you shouldn't run out of space? There's double sided four blocked pages and there's about 21-15 in the book? (only two of them are taken up with "info" So you should be okay, unless you plan to travel in and out of countries over the course of 5 years? XD; But I believe you can order "insert" official pages if needed. :3

If it happens again? I'm handy with a sewing machine? XD; It's good she put so much effort into it! :3 I think when I did a similar project I focused on Germany and Neuschwanstein and how King Louis went insane and etc. I... I was an odd 9 year old... But I got to wear a big poofy dress? :D I cheated a bit too, since I kinda knew all the info and I'd been to that castle about 5 times (everytime family came to visit)? It also appears in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :3 (It's the Bavarian Castle in CCBB) <3

DUDE! Awesome! There's some fun stuff in Hawaii! Oddly? I've been to DisneyLAND a ton, never to DisneyWorld! They're gonna love it! Eddie and I can't wait to take our own kids someday. :3 I love seeing how happy they are to see such familar characters!

Mexico is a good starter tho. I agree. My family and I went to Mexico City and Tijuana when I was about 15? I don't recommend Tijuana for young kids (it upset me a lot, great for shopping). But Mexico in general? Gorgeous, and a ton of fun. There's a TON of color. Though I can't see anyone having a wedding in Tijuana either. XD; OH! I can't wait to see pictures! You guys are going to have such a great time!!! There's some great resort tours down that way as well. I have several co-workers that go to Mexico for a yearly trip, they always do awesome stuff!

Hrm. *checks* With all the visas and stapled receipts for entry fees? I might be ordering more pages. *grumbles*

Awesome! Did you get to see King Louie's grotto? There were performers in the ballroom upstairs when we visited Neuschwanstein and the audio from the grotto? Absolutely incredible. I don't think Louie was mad at all - he was just a well-financed fanboy!

The last time I was in Hawaii was in 2000 - Katy was only 6 months old and we had to leave her with my parents. I was an absolute wreck. Hopefully this visit is better.

*grins* Katy and Mackenna have been telling Keira all about Disneyworld - the only problem is that Keira is two, and she thinks that 'February' means 'right now', and we have to try to explain. :(

We'll be doing a resort-thing in Mexico - wedding will be one of those 15-minute things on the beach, then you spend the rest of the week relaxing. I think there'll be a day camp where we can ditch the kids. ;)

XD;;;; You should be all right :3
*crosses fingers*

XD; I DID! It freaked me out as a kid? I remember it, for sure. It was SO COOL, but I remember being scared. Evidently he went mad from extensive amounts of mercury (or was it lead? chloroform? poisoning) from a minor bit of his lifestyle? So he went a bit mental later in life? XD; But I agree, TOTAL TOTAL fanboy. Of course now! XD; They're questioning the legitimacy of the "mental" diagnosis. I wrote the report at 9 XD; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_II_of_Bavaria I doubt it's accuracy could hold up now. ;) Specially to wikipedia! XD; I'll have to find more books again. He was a fun king.

EEK! My cousin's wife was freaking just coming to our wedding (she'd JUST had a little girl about a month before hand?) I can't imagine going to Hawaii!

Awwwwww XD; Poor Keira! Soon!!! She'll be excited tho... and that will be all the more fun!

XD;;; I think that's what my co-workers did too!!! *snort*

*grins*

Have you ever seen You Higuri's manga series Ludwig II? It's yaoi, but it is absolutely gorgeous. Link here: http://www.geocities.com/gedojudea/ludwig/sei.html
And look! You are a wiki author! *grins more*

It was horrible. I was also quite ill at the time, which didn't help. I do not recommend landing at sea level with an ear infection - granted I didn't know I had one, but gah. That was nasty.

Keira will survive. It's just a matter of getting her sisters to understand that Keira lives very much in the now. :)

OH! No! I hadn't!!! Dude... I'm not huge on yaoi but... I may have to check it out, the art is gorgeous!

XD; Not QUITE the Wiki author, but a nice thought! XD; Not sure Wiki was around when I was 9! Though, if it was, they may have lifted liberally from my report. ;)

ugh. I used to get ear infections all the time on swimteam. I'm not sure I've ever had one on a plane but... ugh *lovelove* I'm not sure I WANT to imagine?

XD;;; Understandable. It's hard at that age! You get so excited!!!
