Tuesday July 14th aka the pics did not turn out as planned. AGAIN. So let's just continue on...
We returned "home" to Boardwalk Villas. And got all spruced up for dinner. We did not bring our stolen barge towels back from Typhoon Lagoon but I expect they all end up in the same laundry pile. Somewhere. Just as in the happyhaunt household... we end up with very random loads which can include some of my clothes, some of Calvin's, dish towels, the front door mat, volleyball kneepad (just one), plus someone's friend's hoodie. And, once, two tennis balls. For whatever reason.
But... those darn balls caused the washer to go all nutz and hop across the laundry room. All by itself. Making the dog. Poop in the hall. She has anxiety too. A lil bit.
Here I am again on track...
We got all prettiedish up and headed to the Boardwalk to wander and enjoy. It was a beautiful evening and we were pretty happy. Well I was... again. The horror of the morning was all gone. Ish. And had got word that The General was fine. So we were ready to party. Like wild men.
Until I noticed that all the funny distorted mirrors were magically GONE. From the Boardwalk!!!! HOW. can. that. BE???? Those silli mirrors were minutes upon minutes... like a lot a lot of fun... for the happyhaunts. In the past. We would take turns dancing in front of them like short, fat errrrrr... uhhhmmmm... Midgets???? Or Leprachauns? Dwarfs???
politically correct Me(l)...think politically correct here...
Got it.
Those blessed with... lack of stature. And blessed with tiny roundness.
Whew.
It made us laugh because we are the opposite. We're all (except for me) abnormally tall large freaks.
Ohhhh... so maybe it was the carny side show aspect of the mirrors which made the all knowing Disney Heads remove them? What is wrong? with this world?
Anyways. I was so sad to see them gone. I remember one dance of Mellyman's that made me pee my pants. A tiny bit. He did some weird, squatting, bouncing, thrusting move that was so horribly terribly funny that I briefly, for a second, lost consciousness laughing and recalled a past life. Experience.
Which I don't believe in. But... that tells you how good his move was.
When I noticed the mirrors were gone I let Mellyman know. And he looked around and around and around.
Then back at me... with HORROR and sadness in his eyes.
Yes. Gone.
He shook his head. And looked disgusted. In fact the last time I had seen such a look was quite recently when I proved to Calvin that I could indeed twerk. Real real good. (just like his father... before it even became popular. He's all Twerk Daddy. heh heh)
Calvin had the same look of upset and horror. Disgust. Only... he also put his hands over his eyes and in a high pitched voice screamed: "MOMS DON'T TWERK!"!!!!!
Well. I guess. I'm just not a regular mom. Sorry kidz.
Then we walked around a bit and took pictures of stuff and enjoyed the evening. Until it was time to check in for our ADR at Flying Fish. OHHHHHH so excited so excited.
We got ushered in instantly and sat a nice table for two. Which is not so nice for Mellyman. He prefers a larger table. It's because he's fat.
I was fine with it tho.
Our nice server gentleman came over and chatted and we ordered a beer for Mellyman which I prayed he would like. He's so princess and the pee with beer.
I ordered a magically expensive glass of champagne.
Our drinks came. Mellyman approved. And I tasted my bubbly.
Yum. Gone.
I hate that. Why can't you get a pint of champagne????? anywhere.
Then we ordered. Another glass of wine for me. Regular white. Bigger amount. The cheese plate, the mussels, the char crusted steak with the sauce on the side for Me(l). And the special thingie feature which was a swordfish steak with some other sea creatures on top. For Mellyman who loves swordfish but I cannot cannot cannot. Thanks so so so much Anthony Bourdain. However... I still LOVE YOU! And your parts unknown.
Heh heh.
Drop the ridiculous cowboy boots tho. Hint of a mint. there. For the smokin'.
The cheese plate. The mussels... were wonderful! Any Mellyman is a true gentleman as he takes them all out of their shells for Me(l). Right away so that I can enjoy them without the mess and frustration.
He's the bomb!
There was this amazing cheese which I cannot remember the name on the cheese board but had a coffee flavoured crust but was like a brie in texture. OHHH it was so good. And there was honeycomb and raisins on the vine and some phyllo thingie. It was all great. So were our entrees. Perfect.
So.
I'm gonna Rusty Scupper-up some reviews of our dinner for you.
Flying Fish Review dated 7/14/15:
1. The reviews are from myself and Mr.haunt
2. Just our opinions.
3. Will be revised in the next 6 months.
4. Comes after 3.
Food quality: 4.5 very good.
Food quantity: 4 substantial.
Ambience: 2 very loud. Bright.
Server: 5 perfect.
Value: 4 pretty good.
Bathrooms: -2 negative ridiculous location. Stupid.
Overall rating: 4 almost Fuddworthy. Almost.
We took my leftover half of a steak to go. It was the best steak I had in a loooonnnngggg time. But I was too full. I ate too much bread with the sauce amazing pesto cream sauce from the mussels.
sad.
And we paid plus tipped handsomely. Using our TIW card. It does it automatically btw. And headed back to our villa to put the beautiful steak in our fridge for later.
What shall we do? What shall we do???
Oh drink more!!!!!
Yessssss! Good idea Mellyman!!!
We went to The Belle Vue Room.
Magically close to us. And sat down in these big comfy chairs in the back of the bar area. And it wasn't busy just a few people sitting at the bar itself and waited and waited and waited. For service.
Finally Mellyman got irritated and interrupted the bartender's conversation with said people at the bar with "Anytime my chap. ANY TIME."
Because Mellyman is threateningly large in stature, he came over right away and we ordered. I got a Magical Star with GLOW CUBE WEEEEEE!!!
Mellyman got something. Else. Boring else.
We enjoyed our drinks and chatted about our fabulous dinner and avoided all mention of the horror show of the morning.
I don't think he had the energy to be honest. Me either.
Then we had a second round. Even better.
Then we asked for our bill and I gave the bartender my TIW card. He brought the bill and Mellyman paid. He went away.
He came back.
He told us that just for our information the person who the TIW card belongs to (Me(l)) is supposed to be the person to pay the bill. And proceeded to give us some weird sort of info-lecture about the whole process.
Oh. Thanksyou. Guy.
So... I asked him if he had ever heard of The Disboards? And he stopped for a second and said "ummm no. why?"
I told him that I knew I recognized him from a thread there about how rulesy CMs can be.
He walked away.
Mellyman said that I was kinda mean and I laughed.
And then I went back up to the bartender and asked if I could have a third and fourth glow cube because I have four kids.
Done. But not happily on his part. heh heh.
Then we retired back to our room and I was so tired so so tired from the lack of sleep over the last couple of days, the panic attack, all the food... and I was a little BBUZed too. TBH.
All I wanted was to crawl into my coffin. cross my hands over my chest and sleep like the dead. And enjoy a perfect nights rest.
Mellyman did too.
SPOILER: He did NOT.
Cheers, Mel
