Hey all!!! We're baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

Oh my word how I love DisneyWorld!!! We had such a wonderful time!! I did bring home a cold...which really isn't a fun way to end a vacation. Jay got sick at the start of the vacation...we had to miss dinner one night such was the severity of his illness. Poor baby. But it only lasted about a day and then he was back on track!

oh and a wild scooter driving woman ran over and bloodied the back of my heal while shouting "MOVE!! I'M IN A SCOOTER!!!" whilst we were all in a HUGE crowd of people and couldn't move an inch...so she took it out on my heal. I would have gladly moved had I been able to do so. Not a very nice lady. She didn't say sorry when Jay pointed out that she had just bloodied his wife...she just said "Well I'm in a scooter..." Oh. Of course. The next time I want to beat someone up I'm going to be in a scooter when I'm doing it and when the police arrive I'm going to say "Well I'm in a scooter... what? I'm not responsible...I'M IN A SCOOTER!" Then I'll run the cop over! No rules when one is in a scooter...



other than that there wasn't a lot of other blood loss.



we had so much fun!!

It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot y'all. Hot hot hot!!! Too hot almost. Even for native Floridians! The weather channel said it was "unseasonably hot". No kidding! It's not usually that hot in August even!

I can't wait to go in January!!!

OH and we got to ride Toy Story Mania THREE TIMES!!! Seriously, most fun ride EVER. Jay and I really loved it! We're dorks that way.

How is everyone? Anything fabulous happen while I was away?

hope all is well!!!!

I'll be writing writing writing soon...after I finish the MOUNDS of laundry. Ugh.

Hey cool, glad you had a good trip. We were there a few years ago at this time and it was HOT HOT HOT then also. I'm excited....my DSIL is running in the half marathon in January also. We will be there at the same time you are going to be there. Maybe I will see you running as I am watching my DSIL. Can you wear something to identify yourself for all of your reading fans?

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Welcome back! Anxiousy awaiting the updates.

 

[Fluffypants]

Welcome Back!!!
Hope you are feeling better!

 

[bedillamouse]

Yeaaaaa!!!! You're back! Glad to hear the excessive heat didn't damper your vacation!!! Sorry about Jay getting sick and now you are! Yuck!!!

Seriously...why couldn't the scooter lady just say Sorry??? Weird!

 

[TexasBelle]

Miss Cammie OH Miss Cammie, Where are you?

I'm really missing you and your trip report.

Please oh please come back to us...

[CampbellScot]

Have a safe and happy 4th everybody!!!!

Hey Miss Cammie it looks like we were there at the same time! It was extremely HOT! We have gone the last week of August and this was hotter. We were there from 6/16 through 6/23. It still was loads and loads of fun. But we did make sure we took mid day breaks and swim in the pool. Sounds like you had an awesome time as well. I too am looking forward to going during a different time of year next trip the summer time heat really wears you down. I miss the magic already.

Can't wait for your next installment.

Welcome home Cammie! Yes, it was HOT and very unseasonable. I think we overlapped a day and we were lucky to have a few days at the end of ours a bit more average for FL in June.

Happy 4th to you and yours!

 

[micandminforever]

Happy 4th of July.

Bumping you up Miss Cammie. I saw you posted over in the W.I.S.H. board--I just started running and hopefully next year I can get to one of the races at WDW.

Patiently (ok, not so patiently) waiting for your next chapter

Thanks for the bump!

I'm SO sorry everyone for being such a complete TR slacker! I had no idea this summer was going to be as out of control busy as it has been. I told Jay last night that I needed to schedule time in my day to sit and write some! We were going over some of the Flip Cam stuff from our trip last night and reminiscing... We are dorks that way.

I haven't forgotten about my TR and I am going to get my writing groove on...as soon as I have a moment to put some coherent sentences together!

Bibbidi--YAY for running!!! It's oddly addictive, be forewarned! The hunt for the perfect running shoe was an intense one let me tell you! I am SO excited for the Donald!!! I mean come ON...a Donald Duck medal?! WooHOO!!! The ultimate Donald Prize!!!

Hope everyone is having a safe and wonderful summer so far!!!

 

[mla1977]

Miss Cammie! I'm running the full in January (actually I just signed up with Team in Training too). I've seen you floating around on the WISH boards. I'll be there cheering on the half marathon people during your race.

Which race is it that gives you the Donald medal? Oh, and which shoe did you finally decide on? I am looking into the Ascis (sp?) Gel you were talking about. There was an article in the last Runners World that compared the Gel to a different, less expensive model and showed what your extra $$ went to when you upgrade--pretty neat. Yes, the running has become an addiction--I used to only run for a purpose--like after a ball in field hockey, or away from a scary stranger---but now I find myself getting out of bed to hit the pavement at 5:45 am - what has happened to me???

Sorry for the tangent--back to Miss Cammie's fabulous TR

You are a rockstar!!! I have to see if I can survive the half before I contemplate the full! I must admit...I am very covetous of that Goofy Medal!!! I might just be insane enough to try it... I'm sure I'll be cheering on the full marathon crowd! Y'all are HARDCORE!!!

The Donald Half Marathon is the race that gives you the Donald Medal! January 9, 2010!! You can google pics of all the medals for the marathon weekend in January!

I decided on the Asics Gel Nimbus 11. I have a neutral gait so I don't need a stability shoe. I don't over pronate or supinate. These are things you find out when you go to a fancy just for runners sneaker store and get a very in depth study done on your feet...which was kind of funny and weird...but informative!

Anyhow...So far I absolutely LOVE the Nimbus 11!! They are so cushy and supportive...and they just look so darn flashy and professional!

Jay went with Mizuno. Wave Runner I think? Something with a wave.

we're having a blast so far!!!

have a great weekend everybody!!!

Can't wait to read more!

 

[Bibbidi]

I'm bumping you up Miss Cammie--that means I'm ready for another chapter!

 

[CampbellScot]

i'm really sorry everyone. This summer is just crazy. I apologize for making everyone wait.

sorry. sorry.

 

[Bibbidi]

No worries--I was being funny. I bet you're out on training runs for your Donald 1/2!
