I'm trying to keep up with the nurse babe here but it's really quite difficult. Here goes....
Better late than never, right Moo? p.s. Peej, if you need an education, here's the lady to see.
Please, go on. You know I need an education, so what's she gonna teach me?
p.s. I promise to make you and your family quite sane in your guest appearance. Wait. scratch that. delete. I promise to make your wife and children quite sane in their guest appearance. bahaha!
Hey, Elis...I just thought of something. Goofydad writes trip reports too. There's a chance he might include us in his. Maybe we better flatter him here. I'm just sayin
NEITHER!
Zackly. *slap* to ROB!!!
1. Did he really say that? I can't take him anywhere. Is it hot enough to roast a chicken wrap?
2. smile and nod sweetie.
3. My BIL thought he could take me out too. He was wrong. Dh tried to warn you.
4. The yes ma'am has a ring to it. You may continue to address me as such.
5. Right. I thought the same about you.
6. Maybe people love me in spite of my freakiness. And why can't you believe I have this many friends? I'm the best friend you could ever ask for. Loyal to a fault? Is there such a thing? I think not.
7. Yes, I'm thinking the monkey story will NOT translate into fits of hysterical laughter, but my ab muscles definitely got a workout that morning. I could not quit laughing. And just so you know Mr. Trollop thought we had truly lost it. I think maybe the heat got to us.
I'll go with your numbering system...
1. Yes, he really said that but I took it out of context kinda sorta. He said it about the sauna at New Lock East.
2.
3. I'll take my chances. Don't you remember when I almost knocked you out of the tram at Animal Kingdom? Sleep with one eye open, I know where you live.
4. yes ma'am
5.
I was going to tell you one more thing my sister said about you guys that had to do with you being nice but now I'm not going to.
6. I imagined you saying that like Hollywood. But for reals what kind of a "good" (which is apparently spelled goog) friend makes another friend ride crazy death rides?
7. Maybe the heat got to HIM because it was darn funny. I seriously laugh just thinking about it. He musta thought it was funny because he did the imitation photo of her. I think that was the hardest I've laughed in a long time. Well, except when I heard about the horses, ice cream, and kids in the bed of a truck. Come to think of it, those were all you laughing at me...
thinker (hmm, wonder where he gets that from) "are you going to Disney?"
Aw, that's cute, you gave your kid the same middle name as you? I like it!
Somebody shouts "WITHOUT US?"
I like that "somebody" shouted it but you don't know who. Know why that is? You have like a hundred kids.
Dd replies "Can you bring me back Cpt. Jack?" A chip off the old block.
I knew I liked this one. She must be so smart from going to Montessori school.
I promised them the grandmas would spoil them rotten and that mommy guilt would guarantee more WDW souvenirs than they could ever imagine. Surprisingly, they were quite understanding.
The mommy guilt was out of control. These kids are going to be begging you to go on "hotel trips."
I liked reading how it went on your end when you told everyone you were coming. Maybe I should tell how it went when I told Hollywood. Oko, I will.
I didn't have as much to worry about as Elisabeth seeing as how I don't have a hundred kids but I still was worried about telling my sister Elis was coming. When I say that my sister thinks the online friends thing is strange I mean it. She thinks it's strange, creepy, dangerous, you name it. She is highly opposed. Not a fan at all. Got it?
So, with that knowledge I decided to break the news to her gradually. I started with
"Hey, Hollywood, you know that board I post on?"
"Yes. Do we really have to talk about that again? What did some imaginary person do this time? Do I need to kick someone's butt?" (that's why she doesn't like the online friends, some people are nasty and she knows all about it)
Me: "No, no, nothing like that this time. Just that one online friend I've told you all about, Elisabeth. You know, the one who is perpetually texting me. She's a nurse from Louisville. You remember her, right?"
Hollywood: "Yeah, sure, what about her?"
Me: "Well, she and her husband might be coming to Disney World and I'd like to see them." I leave out the details like the fact that they're coming for sure and I make it sound like they were planning to come whether I was here or not and I might just like to see them, not spend 4 days with them.
Hollywood: Rolling her eyes more than I thought was physically possible.
"FINE. But when you get murdered in the night by one of these creepy online people don't come crying to me."
Me: "I promise not to haunt you."
So, now I've planted the seed but I have to tell her they're actually coming....
A few days later I broke the news and told her that I'd be spending a lot of time with said Elisabeth and yes, her husband is coming. Hollywood told me I was weird for wanting to hang out with a person who is umm...older than me and her husband. I told her that hey, if they turned out to be freaks I would just ditch them and make an excuse that I had to work. You think I'm kidding, Elisabeth, but I'm not (said like Hollywood...could ya hear it?). I would have ditched you so fast!
Anyway, Hollywood just said fine and then was all quiet which equals she was mad. I went out and got the ice cream and we talked about why she was mad, why this wasn't a good idea, blah blah blah. Eventually she came around under one condition and that was that she could spend time with them too to make sure they were normal before she was willing to leave me alone with them. HA! Okay. Fine with me. This really isn't making you look good btw Elisabeth. It's kinda making you sound like a freak.
Once I had Hollywood won over and Elis and I did all our planning there was nothing left to do but wait!!
