09/16/06 Double Scoop Group- see ya real soon!!

Princess Amanda- wow, some incident. You handled it, IMO, very well. I might well have decked her one if she came up on me when I was unloading my little one. Where we live- if someone's that close they're either fixing to hit you or kiss you, and neither would have been okay in that situation.

I knew it was over a parking spot. People get so nasty at Disney. It's like they don't really want to be there, but feel they have to go.

If I have any issues on the ship- I'm coming to find you.

Amanda and Eric-
Have a good flight and a great weekend if you're still around.

If there is ever a next time "Hey didnt I see you guys on Jerry Springer, The I Married My Brother Episode!" or "Kids this is an example of what you become when you drop out of grade school and drink beer all day"...okay maybe saying these things might be adding fuel to the fire..but it would feel soooo good for the moment!

Good ones Asha. And unfortunately- I would say something like that. Some of us can't behave in public. It's a really good thing I'm a SAHM. I was in law school when I got pregnant with dd #1- and decided I wanted to stay home. If I had finished I would soooo be in jail every weekend for contempt of court because I mouthed off to the judge. "Well your idiot, err, I mean your honor..."

On a serious note- sticking it out for all those years in your family situation, thumbs up for trying, but when it's a disaster, it's a disaster. We live in a very culturally diverse neighborhood and have interesting discussions about issues like that- me, the very Catholic woman, the Muslim woman, and the born again Christian woman. It's like one of those interfaith seminars people pay lots of money to go to. Hmmm, making I can become an interfaith coordinating consultant. Sounds impressive and expensive!

There are 10 black people in Eugene, Oregon. That's it....10

Thea, your such a funny little nugget! I am trying desperatly to do all the little things that I have put off to the last minute. Like my door signs. Here I am trying to print them off without waking up Eric, but now that he's awake he can help me! ( insert evil was trying to wake him up grin here)!

I won't be around tomorrow (Ren Faire and all) so I wanted to say bye now (and increase my post count) We are going to Portland Wednesday the 13th and I called Keller (I think it's Keller) theater to get tickets to Wicked....wouldn't you know they're totally sold out. But they are doing a drawing for 40 tickets (20 pair) two hours before the performance so Mekayla and I are going to hang out and see if we can get some and see the show. Cross your fingers, and send pixie dust...I really would like to see Wicked. Mekayla and I have read almost all of Gregory Maguire's books. We like Mirror Mirror the best. Eat a turkey leg for me in Frontier Land! We'll be there next Friday! Safe Journey!

That's funny!

I am terrible...I probably would have hit her, Karma be dam*ed. I really like the Jerry Springer crack Asha came up with, though. I will have to remember that!

If I have any issues on the ship- I'm coming to find you.

Me too...if they screw up our MNSSHP I'm joining forces with FDPA and we're gonna' scare them into compliance! They'll be sayin' "Lady, you want a free 4x6 photo?" "No problem" "Lady, you wanna' ride on the float with Maleficent" "No Problem" by the time we get done with them!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Girl, it may be "white" on the outside, {insert snaps here} but I am all Sista' on the inside! Fshizzle!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

I figured I might as well take it

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Did you see that thread count? I am so making my goal of 1000!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

O.K. how many of you ladies (Jeff, if you answer yes to this, you're gonna' scare me) get acrylic nails done before vacation when you normally don't wear them at home? And on that note, how many of you get them done during the holiday season but not during summer? I am thinking about getting my nails done and normally I only wear acrylics from October through the New Year then for Spring and Summer, I go natural. So, who's hitting the nail shop with me this week?

 

[seashells]

Stopped doing them a few years back....hated the up keep and the damage they did to my real nails....was growing them for the cruise...but decided to chop them this past weekend...im going for the short and painted look

The 3 in a row deserves 3 cheers

There was some good information on one of the recent podcasts at http://www.wdwtoday.com/ which had a lot of information and tips for MNSSHP.

Some things that I heard that I didn't like were
1. if you are in the park during the day, you are herded into a holding area (like tomorrow land) and you had to wait their for a while. I suppose there are worse places to wait... I would hope the rides there are open..
2. being friday, there may be a large number of locals and it could be very busy

They had some good advise also, like that they run the parade twice, so you might be able to go on a busy ride (like haunted mansion) during the second run of the parade, if you saw the first one. They also indicated that the fireworks should not be missed.

I wonder if everyone follows their advise on what order to do things and where to watch the fireworks from, will there be too many people trying to do the same thing


Well, it looks like I'm going to pay for parking at the port and just keep my rental car. having one rental, where I can get a weekly discount plus the cost of parking, it is about the same cost as having two rental agreements, and I don't have the shuttle/taxi from the rental car office hassle.


I can't realy get excited for the cruise yet because there is just so much to do before we go. I don't know when we will have time to pack as this weekend is pretty busy already.

Finally I am cathing up to myself!
Sorry to leave you all hanging for so long...here is the story..
On Sat afternoon the kids wanted to go to Blizzard Beach. If you have ever driven there, you will notice that you enter the parking lot to the right, and all the parking rows are one way...IE pick a row, go up, if not spot you have to circle around again.
Well I had cirled around a few times, when finally I saw reverse lights up ahead, and being alone with the 4 kids, I wastrying to get as near the entrance as poss. I went up the aisle, when I saw mini van waiting to down the up only aisle to take the spot. Yep. I pulled in. Wrong thing to do? Probably, but technically I was following the lot rules he was not. He honked at me and shot me the bird. The went down the uponly one lane over and ended up one car in fron and to the left of me. The whole time they (husband and wife) we calling me fat and saying that I saw them and stole their place. I said, sarcastically, " thats just great I hope you all have a GREAT day!" Kill em with kindness right? When I unloaded the kids, the wife tells **MY** kids, (who did she think she was to address my kids) "Dont eat alot like your mommy kids, youll be fat like her!" ANd proceeds to call me a stupid fat witch only with a different letter. Guys, this lady was no vogue model, hell she wasnt even a Lane Bryant model.I said, "hey lady your no skinny minnie yourself" I guess she didnt like that ....she stepped from her car. to MY car at my passenger door where I am stil l trying to unload my kids, ages 11,9 7 and 3!!! 3!!!!!!! And said, oh your gonna get your butt (again cuss word) kicked in the parking lot! You fat B!" At this point, Im thinking how I am gonna get my kids out of the way if this lady comes at me. I will NEVER throw the 1st hit/punch ETC but I WILL defend myself and my kids. I told her " You need to STEP away from me now!" Because it was go time and I was ready is she stepped to me anymore....I mean really..to trade verbal insults is one thing but to step to my face and threaten me in front of her DD and my 4 kids one of whom is 3?!?!?! Can you say CRAZY??? ANyway she steps away and I walk behind them on the way to the gate, they are muttering about me just loud enough for me to hear it. I hear the husband say, "Oh shes crazy,,she has 100 lbs on you no doubt. And anyways she is too fat to walk the extra 100 feet thats why she took our spot" to which I said " We have already established that I am fat. What is your excuse? I know I am fat, you're not hurting my feelings any, trust me it is not secret. It is not like I didnt know!" I know probably not the smartest thing, but at this point I was getting so mad about the fact that she had the nerve to threaten me in front of my kids! They started the verbal crap again, and I said "We need to get Disney security involved in this because I dont like the fact that you threatened me" ...them "Whatever! Get them if you want...we'll stay!" Follow again to gate, they were getting their tickets out to go in...I stepped to the side of the CM working their turnsstile and asked for Disney security because there was a problem and she had threatened me....THe look of shock on these peoples faces should have won on OSCAR....They acted like I was the one who started everything and that I was lying! I just couldnt believe that there were people in the world like that, no less in DISNEY WORLD!!! Lying through their teeth...I was sooooo hoping that security would ask all the kids what happened...because kids will tell the truth..but it didnt come to that....after about 30 mins security came asked what was going on, they said " Let he tell it she has already admitted that she lied!" GRRRRR>>>>

I feel like they saw taht I was alone, with no DH and were trying to intimidate me. If my DH had been along I do not think it would have escalated as it did. I also felt like I had to see it through because my kids witnesses it, and I wanted to set the example for them that you cant let people push you around, because if they get away with it once they will keep on...so that is my story..sorry so long....

OMG! What is wrong with some people! All that over a parking space! Come on! Girl you know I got your back! I sooooo wish I would have been there! They would have see a can of Texas whoop *** open up ALLLLL over them!!!! Insulting someone because of their weight makes absolutely no sense to me. That would be like making fun of someones eye color, it is what it is. It's just a number, it's not what make a person. People like that SUCK!!!!! I am so sorry you had to deal with such buttholes! Karma will come back to them, believe you me, it will happen.

Not like we didn't have enough to do already in Cozumel...
I just booked the Atalntis Sub excursion. They had a BOGO offer that I couldn't pass up. I called PurpleTart and said, "I am spending more of your money, call me back!" LOL So, for $40.00 a piece (I have to pay for Mekayla in addition to me) we'll check it out. Probably do better to spend the money on an excursion than shopping. I'll definately save money. What do you guys think about black coral? Everyone says buy it there...I am not even all that sure I like it. I googled it and it was like "eh" maybe it's prettier in person.

Did ya'll check my post numbers?!?! 1000 = easy peasy.

 

[Nette]

ummm... princess amanda... what are you on? and why aren't you sharing?

 

[Nette]

Hey!! I broke three hundred.. woo. (NOT)
