It's NOMtastic.
NOMtacular.
NOMmerific.
Just. NOM.
Don't know why but this makes me think of George of the Jungle. Of course, who could resist a hunky Brendan Fraser but anyway.
"What embarassed mean?"
"It means when you're worried about what other people will think of you."
"No one here to be embarassed for.
Just George."
A little bit of TK randomness for you.
And let me just tell you, for such a big resort with so many rooms and, obviously, so many people, we Never. Heard. A. Peep.
It was lovely.
That is, without a doubt, one of my favorite things about this resort. No interior corridors, like WL, but just as quiet. I loved the quiet.
The beds. And if it's REALLY crucial to your DIS survival to know - I slept close to the door, TK slept close to the bathroom. I really don't even want to know what Freud might make of that.
Hmph. You just had to share that, huh?
Well, if you must know. The reason that I always default to the bed near the bathroom is because it's the closest to the wall. Usually I end up with DS in my bed, so we put him on the side near the wall, and line the whole floor with pillows in case he rolls over and falls out. Now that he's older it's not so much of an issue, but the habit has stuck. Take that, Frued.
(TK, I took the pen. I didn't know if you knew.)
I didn't know, but that's cool. I have a zillion WDW pens at home.
Funny, it was bad enough that when Kat asked me if it was really THAT bad and I said, "You come over here and smell it!" with a mortified look on my face and my hand covering my mouth and nose from the offending odor that she said, "No. I believe you." Smart girl.
Which if anything, should be a testament to how much I love you, to take you so readily at your word that I don't even need to experience it for myself!
We started unpacking and then we exchanged gifts. Each of us had gotten a little sumpn-sumpn for the other.
And all of it was great.
And all of it was very much 'personalized'.
And I have a picture of none of it. (TK, we might want to get on that, if I can find where I put everything...)
I'll go throw our photos today and see if I can find that it. I think we took pictures. If not, I know where my stuff is and can assemble it.
It then took me approximately 6.5 years to decorate our window. Since I apparently couldn't come to terms with the fact that my screenname would, in fact, take up the ENTIRE upper portion of the window.
::sigh::
But no, simply putting TINK would not have sufficed.
During which I enjoyed a good chuckle. It was so funny to watch her try to fit her name up there and then realize it was so long she had to really use the whole upper portion of the window. I enjoyed unpacking to the sounds of Stacy and Tink and their running commentaries.
Up Next: A Very Special Dinner and Our Biblical Return to the Room.
Biblical is certainly one word for it. I do have something to say about that portion though.
Are you taking the dinner chapter? I thought so. If you want to do dinner, I'd love to do the return to the room and the rest of the night.
Also, let me know what food art you need from me, I can't remember if we both have pics, or they're separate.
Rum makes everything better, doesn't it?
Truer words were never spoken.
So would you say that your Pina Colavas were, perhaps, the Happiest NOM Ever?
Or some variety thereof?!
.
Oh, I would definitely say they are some variety thereof.
Yeay! Room pics! I am very excited! So, in reading your post, I am led to believe that I should request a room in Jamaica for our October trip? I want a nice relaxing, somewhat short walk to that pool bar!
I think you'd really like a room in Jamaica. It was a very pretty area, and I loved how our buildings had the yellow and blue color scheme.
And proximity to the pool bar should be a priority.
Your room looks nice. Eww on the fridge smell.
Looking forward to see where you eat.
It's a great dinner.
Sounds like you room was ready in the perfect amount of time.
Shopping with our eyes only - check
Drinking rum-laced nommy beverages by the pool - check
Time to check out the room.
That is my kind of check in experience.
I don't remember the last time I did a vacation this relaxed. I was definitely relaxed on my last September trip on the first day, but this was different. I was only responsible for myself, and that's a whole other feeling of freedom.
I'll give you a little, tiny piece of info about din-din. There weren't more nommy rum-laced beverages.
Where we dined called for something a little more upscale.
Something white.
With a vintage.
At $7 a glass.
It was SO good.
You know what's funny? Since we got our new cats, dh has started to speak in lolcat, as well. It's really hilarious.
I love that shelf in the bathroom. POFQ has them too, and I'm always left wanting one in my bathroom at home for all my junk.
It was really convenient. I love it when they have that in the bathrooms, everything fits so nicely and doesn't get soaking wet because it's far enough back.
Have you tried the Grey Goose Slushie in France yet? It's one to add to your list. Hmmm, and I must add the Italian Margarita to mine. Intriguing......
You know, people rave about that slushie and I've never tried one. What is the flavor like?
I am so intrigued now to see this picture!
I may have squealed in delight and then laughed hysterically.
Then again, on second thought--having the kids with a little Grey Goose in me may have been a winning combination. . .
This is my master plan for my first day on my next trip. Alcoholic beverage in hand, well fed happy little boy, well fed happy husband, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
A Biblical return, eh? That could be good-like Jesus style, or perhaps more like Noah...
Your room looks terrific! I have to say, I'm most excited about the shelf by the shower -- that is AWESOME. Should be mandatory in all rooms! Love the window decoration. I have to get myself over to the dollar store!!
Can't wait for more.
Now that Tink made us such a pretty window decoration so inexpensively, I'm seriously debating this for future trips. Tink, did you use regular scotch tape, I can't remember?
Can I ask a silly question? What makes the Nemo rooms, Nemo? Are there little Hidden Nemos?!?!??!! Your details, scoop, and pictures of CBR, really have me wanting to go there in September.....we will just have to wait and see!!!!!
Pooh'smate said it, they have a Nemo border and Nemo bedspreads. I really like it. I'm going to enlarge one of the photos Tink took so you can see it better.
