While I waited outside France for Dh I should have gotten another grey goose slushie. The thought did cross my mind but I was thrown off track by the serveur amusant who was performing.
Shame.
About missing the drink not the performance. He was good.
I missed the very beginning of his act but Dh and I stayed to watch the end. Then we turned our attention to saving the world or rather our Kim Possible mission.
Here I am with our kimcommunicator receiving top-secret information.
We only did one mission. It was cute. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.
We talked about doing another one but decided it was time to head back to the resort for a rest. I was afraid I was going to end up face to face or rather curb-to-curb with another meltdown from Dh if I kept him going at this rate.
“So that’s it then. We’re going back to the room right?”Dh asked.
Technically we were on our way but I was open to anything that peaked my curiosity on the way.
“I thought we could wander through England since we’re here. But basically yes, we are on our way back to the room.”
“If we are wandering then we’re really not on our way to the room. So are we wandering or leaving?”
I should have know he would have caught me on this. Wandering to him is the same as shopping. If it doesn't have a specific purpose he doesn't want to waste his time. But if I may add he's just find and dandy with channel surfing.
“Wandering. But I have to tell you if your plan was to suck all the joy out of wandering then you’re doing a grand old job of it.” I answered.
“Whoa. Apparently the vodka has worn off. I just wanted to know what the plan was. We can wander or not. You decide.”
So I could decide but he would only be happy if I said we're leaving. So really I had to decide to either make him happy or me.
I choose me.
"Wander. You don't have to follow. We have our own keys."
"I don't want to go back without you."
"Well then I guess you're wandering too".
I tried to wander but… well… the point of wandering is to get lost in the moment. I was too aware of Dh trying to follow me trying to wander.
It just didn’t work.
He was right. I should have picked up another drink.
:
I wandered us right out of the world showcase.
"Look it's a Butterfly Garden!"
"Oh Goody" Dh replied.
"Oh be nice. Come on. Let's take a look."
I did have a bunch more pictures but I lost them when my computer crashed. These will have to do.
I saw Mousegears in the horizon.
With the glimmer of shopping in my eye I directed us there.
I know lots of you just love this store but I’m afraid I can’t count myself in the mix. I think I’m always too tired when I finally descend upon it. Or perhaps it's still the fallout from this next showdown.
Dh was hovering again. Or rather joy sucking. (Is there not a smilie vaccum?)
Mostly it was my joy he was sucking up but I did notice many shoppers giving him a wide berth in the aisles. Either they realized his joy sucking potential or he was blowing wind. He did have an upset tummy from lunch.
“Are you done in here yet?” He asked as I finished my initial circle of the circumference.
I answered with a hairy eyeball glare and continued making my examinations of the interior.
“What are you looking for?” He tried again.
I figured the ignoring thing wasn’t working so I was going to have to be specific with him.
“I’m looking to pass some time looking at things I could possibly buy if the item strikes my fancy.” I answered.
“So you’re not looking for a watch or the gifts for the kids?”
“Well, of course I’m looking for those too. But just so you know (think dripping with sarcasm) I am able to look for more than one thing at a time.”
“Hey, I’m just trying to help. You don’t need to jump all over me again. You said we were on our way to the buses and yet we’ve wasted more than five minutes in here already.”
“Wasted time?” I repeated it again which really should have been a hint for him.
“Wasted time. I don’t feel I am wasting any time. I am looking and dare I say wandering for the sheer enjoyment of it. Shocker that that may be. You have made it quite clear that YOU ARE NOT enjoying yourself but let me state what should be obvious. I AM HAPPY. I enjoy looking around. (Then I put on my birthday hat again as I felt he needed to be reminded) This is my birthday trip and after almost twenty years together you should know that I like to shop. Find yourself something to do because I’m not done until I’m done.”
He headed out to the book section and I don’t know what he did. I don’t care. I just know he stopped being in my shadow.
It took a few minutes of faking it to make it. Meaning that I was too angry to enjoy shopping at first but soon was back into my groove. I did keep a close watch on the time though. I toyed with the idea of spending hours in there. You know. Just to annoy him. But in the end I only lasted another 10 minutes.
Then I bought something. Well two things.
A mug and a book. I used my birthday fun card. The mug has the seagulls from Finding Nemo on it and the words mine, mine, mine all around the rim. The book is The Kingdom Keepers.
Dh rejoined me at the cash.
“Truce?” He asked.
“Truce.”
“I know I’m bugging you about it but can we go back to the hotel now?”
“What’s the big deal if we get back now or an hour from now? We’ve got a really late dinner tonight so there is still plenty of time to relax at the pool”
“It’s not the relaxing that I’m looking forward to” He grinned as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
I had to laugh. In fact I guess I was more tired than I realized because I laughed so hard I had to sit down.
Of course the only place to sit was the curb so we found ourselves in our familiar crouched position.
“What’s so funny?” he asked.
“Let me get this straight. All this time you’ve just be trying to get me back to the room so we can be alone?”
“Yup”
“Even when I’ve been yelling at you and telling you to go away?”
“You can’t get rid of me that easily.”
“Yes, I’ve noticed.”
“So what do you say? Can we call it quit here and spend some time doing the horizontal mamba?”
Just then I spotted a photopass photographer by the fountains.
“After our pictures.”
“Aww.”
“Come on. We missed them this morning coming into the park so I want to get them now. The more pictures we take the more money I've saved by pre-ordering the CD.”
I thought talking saving money would keep him in a good mood. However, it turns out he only had one mood in mind. In the end he put up with getting the pictures taken because I promised I would put up with him once we got back to the hotel.
Another family jumped the photographer before we got to him. So we had to wait.
I took this while waiting.
