    Good spots for Wishes that aren't the norm...

    We almost always watch from Frontierland because it's quieter and there's more space for my husband (who can't stand still) to roam around. It might not be the prime viewing spot, but the magic is still there. If we're leaving right after Wishes, we take our time and let the crowd thin some...

    Scared to go back to WDW?? :(

    I've had a stomach bug twice while at WDW. One trip I spent 3 out of 5 days in my hotel room, and the other I had to hit every restroom in the MK trying to make it out of the park and back to the hotel, where I spent the next day and a half recovering. I've had trips where it has rained every...

    What are you eating tonight?

    Beef stroganoff. :) We spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day quietly as we aren't Christian. Most of the rest of our families are, and we're hosting the whole crew for a more traditional holiday meal of turkey/ham/green beans, etc. on Monday the 26th. They get together and get their religion...

    Your best and worst events of 2011

    Worst - my cat and absolute bosom buddy died in January of fibrosarcoma. I still tear up when I think about him. He had been ill for a while but the end came quickly. Best - DS was accepted to his first choice college (and every other school he applied to); we had a great cruise over the...

    Seriously Dad (vent)

    Is he playing some control game? Everyone else is right, it's his loss. Enjoy your Christmas anyway. My dad always makes a big point of going on and on about his allergies when he comes to my house (I have 5 cats). I point out that he knows that we have cats and if it bothers him so much...

    kitten help

    We put our tree up at the last possible moment, only use unbreakable ornaments with yarn hangers (never hooks), then watch the little buggers like hawks. Invariably one or more will get up into the tree a few times, but they seem to learn as the days go on (only to forget by the next year)...

    My poor little daughter!

    Aw, poor thing. I think you handled it right. I don't like the notion of getting security involved for something that could be handled personally and if your daughter was injured it would have been evident. Your anger is misplaced if you are upset at the father who had a service dog and an...

    Ladies: Who's delivered a big baby?

    DS was a porker at 11 pounds, 7 ounces and 22.5" long. I had an easy pregnancy until the last couple of weeks when I couldn't stand for 30 seconds without very painful sciatica. I was induced on my due date but after 10 hours of little progression had a c-section. He's 17 years old...

    Said Good-Bye to Our Beautiful Cat Yesterday

    I'm so, so, sorry for your lose. Kita was such a lucky kitty to have landed a wonderful family to love and cherish her after her rocky start in life. And you were lucky because she so enriched your world. I have 5 cats and each one of them is adored. When we lose one, it is as painful as...

    Not this year, but it's something we do frequently.

    College Application Season!

    He's planning on majoring in vocal performance with the goal of being an opera singer. Isn't standing by and hoping for good auditions stressful? The grades and scores were the easy parts! :)

    Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men...

    It was on PBS here (Washington, DC) last night. I love me some Les Mis, but the 10th anniversary cast blows the 25th away. A Jonas brother, really?

    Asking a man out on a date?

    I asked my now-DH out. Hey, if you want something you have to go for it and what's the worst thing that can happen? You get a polite no thanks and go on your merry way. +1. Sheesh.

    Alcohol During Pregnancy

    I have about 3 drinks a year, if that, but my doctor made a point of saying a glass of wine a day during pregnancy would not be harmful. I didn't drink at all while I was pregnant though.

    Are you a season ticket holder?

    We have a season subscription to the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center. DS is a budding opera singer and it's our way of indulging him a little. DH and I enjoy it far more than we thought we would. The question now is whether or not we will renew the subscription for next...

    Are you good at small

    Small talk makes me uncomfortable but I've gotten pretty good at it. I'm introverted, so it took a lot of work!

    Questions for Kindle owners

    I love mine, and for an older person the fact that you can adjust the font larger (or smaller) is a plus.

    What's on YOUR Christmas List?

    The only thing I kinda sorta want is a Kindle Fire. I have a regular old Kindle that works just fine, so I won't ask for the Fire until the old one dies. I'll ask for some stuff from Bath and Body Works because it's always good to smell nice. :)

    Tomorrow is small business Saturday.

    I think small business Saturday should have been scheduled sometime other than Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not venturing near a store this weekend, small or otherwise.
