Alligator Roadkill Was Just The Beginning!!! Updated 2nd May!!

[cheekypoppins]

Holy cannoli you made it alive!!!

 

[Aussiesalad]

Oh my! Did they ever say why the key wasn't in the mailbox?????

Apparently they thought we meant early the next morning... ughghhhhh

That would have broken me!

IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!

I can't wait to read more!

Thanks!! Hopefully will get the next bit up very shortly

OMG - a very entertaining report and you aren't even to Disney yet!

Thanks so much!!!

I am just glad you didn't have to drive through Georgia - so many do and complain.....hey, I live here and deal with it daily!

Actually we drove through Georgia on the way home!! (we needed a new route that wasn't highway 10!!)
So we have a few crazy stories from there

Anyhoos - glad you finally got some rest - and hopefully an hour long shower!!

Ahhhh best sleep and shower EVER!!!

Oh man, I would've lost it too. Just. Lost. It. All that driving and all those crazy encounters and you finally make it to your home and you can see the inside of the house and can practically see the bed and you can't get past the front door.

It was the most horrible moment ever!!!
Pulling up and being THAT excited and then having it all deflated within minutes was definitely a breaking point!
I swear I could hear the bed calling my name through the walls

At least you guys were finally able to rest up and finally relax. I bet all that sleep and pool time made you feel a million times better.

Ahhh yesss! Sleep, shower and pool time...oh AND sweedish fish made us feel alive again!!

Oh. My. Goodness. Your drawing captured the horror of no key perfectly! I hope you had some very STRONG words with them later!

Ohhh you better believe that strong words were had.
I mean mistakes happen, I get that BUT it was the worst possible scenario for that mistake.
We got a night or two compensated so we were all friends in the end.

A day of sleeping, swimming, and Swedish fish sounds like a fine way to recuperate from the journey to Orlando!

Nothing makes you feel better (and less like killing everyone) than those three things!
I have such large amounts of love for Sweedish fish

I love the "magical and evil" discussion...Maleficent is Disney proof that it happens!

I know! Perfect proof!! Bek was the one who didn't get it, hence why I needed the illustration to show her...

I LOVE the no-key-reaction-drawing!!!
well, I love the whole story


Awwh thanks!! Haha That was exactly how the scene played out. Exactly!
Oh except we had legs...

 

[Aussiesalad]

OMG, I would have PO'd if the key wasn't there! Someone would be issuing me one night's refund.

Yeah, we were NOT happy!!! We had strong words and got reimbursed for two nights I believe.

Is that unicorn pooping rainbows?

Jill in CO

why yes...yes it is...

Ughhhh I can't believe the key wasn't there!!! I would have probably died! Glad you guys decided to check into a hotel and not sleep on the grass! Can't wait for your first DISNEY DAY!!!

I seriously can't believe it either. No actually that is a lie... after all the stuff we had been through, we were kind of ready for anything. Still VERY devastating though!
You don't know how tempting the grass looked at that moment.
YAHHHHH It was the BEST! Can't wait to share it

Oh my, that had to be the last straw....I'm glad no one died or brought about death as a result.

Ohh it was, I can tell you that much!
I'm actually surprised we all survived that ordeal too!

Evil and magical? Well of course! He-who-shall-not-be-named could be exhibit A, don't you think?

I know! Ok it wasn't so much an arguement as Bek getting educated through some beautiful illustrations. I could have easily pointed out you know who when we went to Universal a few days later. Case closed!

Oh my!! I am a native Californian, transplanted to TX. As I read your trip report, I first thought, "wow, cool!" :. That was prior to you reaching the killer moths!!! (me digging one out of my mouth, out of sympathy)!

Haha your reaction sounds pretty similar to our reality. 'Wow, Cool..best idea ever!" ...and then the events start unfolding to make us re-think that!
Oh gosh those moths were intense! I can still taste them!

Then you get stopped by the border patrol?!, where they make your pillows and car smelly?!

Ugghhhh NO ONE deserves to be stuck anywhere that smells like wet dog for days at a time!!

Then you hit Texas! I'll just say that having lived here for over 5 years, I have never experienced any of the things you have. Sorry that you were not pleased by Texas and that you only got to experience the things you did.

Ok I have nothing against Texas. He just made a bad first impression. Maybe he was nervous? (yes I've decided Texas is a boy)
I believe in second chances and I think we can work out something in the future so I can see more of what he has to offer

Our first time traveling to WDW, our surreal moments were in Louisiana, near the Louisian/TX border and in Northern FL. We didn't deal with killer moths that trip, but with love bugs! I had never heard of them before or even seen one. It was so wierd though, as on the way home, we saw them until about 10 miles before the TX border, than they just poof, disappeared?!

Yikes!! I have never even seen a lovebug! That is so weird they just stopped!?

Loved your hyper, laughing, bathroom mishap, trust fall end of the trip!! The ride there would have made me want to stay in Florida to avoid the ride back!

Thanks! We certainly got into an interesting state after those few days being cooped up with no sleep!
Yeahhhhh I wish! It definitely made us change our route home

Looking very forward to more adventures! I am so happy you finally got some sleep!!!!!! Just reading this far made me feel Well, that and the fact that I worked all weekend, nights, have to work tomorrow and wedn. nights and we leave on our LONG drive Thursday!!!!!

Awhhh thanks!! I was SO happy after sleep and a shower. BEST FEELING!!
How exciting for you guys!!
Long drives are painful BUT they make the destination so much more rewarding

 

[Aussiesalad]

Oh, I could just feel the horror of it all !

It was truly awful!! Ughhhhghhhhhhhh

But, I am so glad you are there!

Yay! yay !

It was so good to finally be there!!!! We survived!!!

Let the fun begin, can't wait to hear bout the Disney adventures !

I know! I can't wait to tell you about our week there. Seriously the best trip ever!!

That sounds like sheer horror. I am so sorry that yall went through that... ugh. I'm glad you had a day to sleep though. I bet that felt amazing!

It felt like a horror story too!!!
Thank you for your sympathies

Can't wait to hear about your first DISNEY DAY!!!!

I can't wait to tell you about it!! EEEK! Such a perfect first day!
Although after that trip we were pretty easy to please!
P.S. That evil magical unicorn is hilarious.

Ha thanks! The moral of the drawing is NEVER trust a unicorn with bushy eyebrows...

First of all you can definately be magical and evil at the same time. Without the bad magic creatures/people who would the good magic people/creatures fight?

I know!! We need the evil magic so the good magic can triumph!!

Now that we have that out of the way. I can't believe there was no key there!!! You should have asked the house rental people to reimburse you the cost of your motel stay. But, I totally get why you didn't. When you are that tired there just isn't any fight left in you. Glad you finally got into your house and WalMart is always good for some humor .

Ohhh we couldn't believe it either! Especially because we had specifically made the arrangement knowing we would be there in the middle of the night.
THey reimbursed us for two nights. Thank goodness they did or we might have had to lock them in a car for 3 days and nights and then deny them a room...see how they like it.
Ohhhh Walmart. I think I could muster up a whole TR about our trips to Walmart and the interesting characters we encountered there!

ps - I LOVE Swedish Fish!!

They are BY FAR my favourite lollies! And In 5 days I will cramming my face with them once again

Holy cannoli you made it alive!!!

I know!!!!! Pretty hard to believe we actually made it there!!

 

[Aussiesalad]

HOORAY!! IT'S TIME FOR A REAL LIFE UPDATE!

Bit of a dramatic title but that's alright...
Hi guys, I was really looking forward to putting up the chapter about our first Disney/Disnep day BUT with craziness of work lately and the general insanities of everyday life that has not happened. This is primarily due to the fact...
I GO TO WDW IN TWO DAYS!!!!
I know the ticker says 3, but that's only because I live in Australia AKA the future.
So I decided I needed to do some sort of (very extremely mini) PTR as a way to get out some of my pent up excitement before I go.

The purpose of the trip is very clear and specific, but needs a short explanation.

It all came to me in March on my way to work on brisk Tuesday morning.
I had made a beautiful soy latte with 1 sugar at home and had poured it in my Disney travel mug so I could drink it on the drive to work. I was at the third set of traffic lights from my house when I realised I had coffee all down my white shirt.
Now the mug had been leaking for some time now...oooh roughly about six months I would say? So this was actually quite a common occurrence. Yes you heard correctly,the mug I used for coffee every single day had actually lost its ability to hold a beverage without leaking MANY moons ago.
This was due to an unfortunate incident where I rested it on my car roof, forgot and started to drive away (can you see why Bek and I are friends??), it was slightly...ok very cracked. It was also quite old and given to me as a present many many years ago from a neighbour that went to WDW.
Still I continued to use it daily because it made me so happy.
Anyway so for some reason that Tuesday as the coffee was dribbling down my chin it all hit me and I knew it was time to move on.

So long my friend. You will be missed...

Does anyone else think it looks like it is levitating here?

Anyway so it was time to move on from Trudie the travel mug.

Clearly I needed a new travel coffee mug.

AND clearly I needed to get it AT WDW.

Clearly!!!

(I also got a promotion at work, which made the decision that much easier)

Josh had already gone on a boys holiday this year so I decided to go with one of my best friends.
I called Bek and Darcy but Bek was moving out of home and needed to save money but Darcy was 100% up for it.
This is Darcy- she is beyond amazing! I met her in a community college guitar class in California. She has been living in Hawaii the last two years and I got to visit her there in January. Best trip! She is such a fun friend to have

So the game plan is as follows...

We are staying at POP for 9 nights!!!
5 days at WDW
1 day at Busch Gardens
1 day at Universal/IOA
2 days shopping, bumming around property and mug hunting!!!

The level of excitement running through my body right now is ridiculous!

Excitement aside, my goal remains in the forefront of my mind
I need to come back with an amazing travel coffee mug for daily use.
If anyone can give me any suggestions of where to look I would be greatly appreciative.

However in my last minute rush this weekend I did buy some cute nail polishes.

And made my thumbs Disney ready (for all the thumbs-upping we will do)

And found a cute Bambi shirt (please excuse my messy mess and ghetto photo)

I also got ridiculous amounts of random stuff I really don't need, so I think I am ready freddy!

On a side note, when my mum was cleaning out her house the other day she found these slides that had been printed. They are her and my aunty when they were little about 50 years ago.

She told me she used to sleep in her Mickey Mouse Club ears

Awhhh so cute!!

So I will try and do a real update tomorrow night or the next night before I go.
But until then I just wanted to share some excitement

 

[eandesmom]

So excited for you! What a fun girls trip.

Definitely time for a new mug. A new mug is my primary souvenir goal each trip! Personally, I might use that as an excuse to check out every resort shop.

Ok maybe not EVERY one... but something from AOA would be cool. I heard they have some resort specific merch but haven't actually checked it out.

Have you seen the Tervis tumblers? not a mug either but supposedly good for hot. I've only tried it for cold items but it is the bomb and are supposedly popping up all over WDW. I bought one at Vero and wish I'd gotten more...and may in Oct.

I still kind of wish I'd bought myself a Gryffindor one. Bought one for my dad but not for me. Miss on my part.

Hmmn...it's not Disney but they might have Thing 1 Thing 2 mugs at IOA.

I thought of you as I ate swedish fish the other night.

 

[cheekypoppins]

AHAHA I love that you specify your latte was only made with 1 sugar lol,sugar/caffeine crash anyone??? teehee AND YAYYYYYYYY you're going very soon and so am I woot wew!!!!

 

[amazingact21]

Ahhhh, that's awesome! 9 nights in Orlando! Sounds like you and Darcy are going to have a great time, and I'm sure you'll find an great replacement mug. I'm pretty sure they are a common item in stores, so if you go to World of Disney or the Emporium in MK you should be able to find some.


By the way, love your nails! Especially the Disney "D"!

 

[glennbo123]

You know, when people in Australia pick up and run off to WDW for a replacement coffee mug it makes it reallllly hard for those of us along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. to do the responsible thing and stay at work. I mean, we're already fighting an uphill battle against fuzzy Disney-math and now you go and do this.

Well, try to have a good time and I hope you find the perfect mug. Heck, while you're at it, get 2.

 

[jedijill]

Yay! Getting a new mug is TOTALLY a great reason to go to WDW! I bought that set of nail polish for my 3 1/2 yo niece....and I bought the big bottles for Auntie Jill.

Jill in CO

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

I love it when the universe sends obvious messages such as, "Get thee hence to WDW immediately to replace your travel mug!" I mean, seriously, it doesn't get much clearer than that!

Your mom is the cutest thing in her Mickey ears!

 

[marmalade]

Oh my gosh, this is the funniest TR I have ever read! You had no other options but to book another trip to get another mug. I mean seriously what were you supposed to do, drink out of a non-disney mug?

I can't wait for the next update!

 

[shan23877]

You've shown remarkable restraint in waiting this long to travel to WDW to replace the mug. I commend you.

Tervis tumblers are great for hot bevs too. I use mine for tea all the time!

Have an amazing trip--you know we're going to make you do a TR for that one too right?

 

[jane2073]

As a fellow coffee (and Disney!) lover, I think your reason for the trip is very valid!

There are some insanely cute new ceramic travel mugs out now. How ever they are easily crack able/ breakable.

 

[Nermel9]

Sounds like a great trip! Having to go to WDW to replace a mug is as good a reason as any! I hope you find an amazing mug! Have a great trip!

 

[__disneygirl]

YAY!!!! I'm so happy for you that you got to go on another trip, but also happy for myself because hopefully that means another TR from you.

I can't believe your keys were not there when you arrived from home. Honestly, they should have given you a check for the price of the hotel you had to stay in just to get some rest. That's just ridiculous! However, I (as usual) very much appreciate your stunning artwork. Keep it comin!!!

I hope you had the best trip ever and I can not wait to hear all about it and more about the trip from this TR!! Woooo!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I just got the chance to get started and catch up on your trip, but that's so awesome that you were able to go back so soon! I hope you had a great time and can't wait to hear about it!

Okay, this may end up being long winded.

Wait....you drove from California to Florida with no stops but gas! OMG, that's insane.

No shame in staying offsite, we've all done it before.

I also have never had dining reservations before too. No judgment here.

Food pictures take time....I used to constantly forget to take pictures.

Look at you making a fancy dancy laminated driving schedule. My road trips have never ever been that organized.

Listen, at least if you breathed in all of those moths, you had sustenance for a while.....

Oh jeez, that's totally something my Dad has done! Leaving his wallet / phone / head on the top of the car and driving off! That's amazing that they were still there!

Only in Texas would they post a sign like that. And only in Texas would they post at a Pediatrician's office "please leave your guns inside the car". No joke....my cousin lives in Texas.

You are correct....some people just look like murderers.

It only takes one person in your group to make you get pulled over by border patrol.

4am dinners at Denny's do tend to be a bit strange. I think I have found myself under some tables there too.

Road trips....the result of which is always scary looking hair and skin. My least favorite part.

Most times, when you go into a mens bathroom, you don't know how you got there. Don't overthink it.

Woo hoo, out of Texas!!!!

You didn't know that turtles made suicide pacts? They can't stand the fact that they move so slowly. They just can't take it anymore.

Oh no, that poor turtle! I'm so sad.....

Back in 5 minutes? When you have to pee?! That's no joke dude.

I have peed in a bush before. I admit that wholly and freely.

I would have named my GPS Janet. In case you have to dammit......

I find your trust falls story to be hysterical. Because honestly, everything is hilarious when you've been awake for that long.

I have not fallen asleep in a strangers driveway. I have backed into a mailbox in a strangers driveway from lack of sleep on a road trip though....

I am totally going to start drawing on my trips on my iPad. You have inspired me.

Caffeine overload = no joke.

I could not have imagined what that felt like, getting there and having no way to get into your vacation home. Grrrr....

Congratulations on your promotion at work btw.

I totally have some of those Minnie Mouse polishes.

 

[Aussiesalad]

So excited for you! What a fun girls trip.

Thanks!!! It was beyond awesome!!!!

Definitely time for a new mug. A new mug is my primary souvenir goal each trip! Personally, I might use that as an excuse to check out every resort shop.

Haha exactly! You can never have enough mugs!! And yes, that is what I used it for

Ok maybe not EVERY one... but something from AOA would be cool. I heard they have some resort specific merch but haven't actually checked it out.

Haha I went to a LOT though. AOA did have pretty good merch, not a whole lot of extra mug choice though.
The gift shop was pretty impressive if I do say so myself!

Have you seen the Tervis tumblers? not a mug either but supposedly good for hot. I've only tried it for cold items but it is the bomb and are supposedly popping up all over WDW. I bought one at Vero and wish I'd gotten more...and may in Oct.

Ahhh I did see them but I ended up going a different direction. They really are popping up everywhere though!

Hmmn...it's not Disney but they might have Thing 1 Thing 2 mugs at IOA.

Ahhh I LOVE all the Thing 1 and Thing 2 merch at IOA! Actually all the Suess stuff is so cute!! Although on this trip I saw two girls walking through WDW wearing 'drunk 1' and 'drunk 2' shirts. Hmmm

I thought of you as I ate swedish fish the other night.

Hoorayyy!!!! That is awesome! I can't even tell you how many bags of swedish fish I brought home!!!! Best ever!!!

AHAHA I love that you specify your latte was only made with 1 sugar lol,sugar/caffeine crash anyone??? teehee AND YAYYYYYYYY you're going very soon and so am I woot wew!!!!

Haha I know! So specific!
Ahhhh it was soooo good! I trust you had an amazing time as well!!

Ahhhh, that's awesome! 9 nights in Orlando! Sounds like you and Darcy are going to have a great time, and I'm sure you'll find an great replacement mug. I'm pretty sure they are a common item in stores, so if you go to World of Disney or the Emporium in MK you should be able to find some.

It was soooooo goooood!!!! I did find my replacement mug
They are a very common item but it just had to be the right one you know?
I am way too particular about what I drink my coffee from

By the way, love your nails! Especially the Disney "D"!

Awh thanks!! I think they chipped after a few days but still fun to do!

You know, when people in Australia pick up and run off to WDW for a replacement coffee mug it makes it reallllly hard for those of us along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. to do the responsible thing and stay at work. I mean, we're already fighting an uphill battle against fuzzy Disney-math and now you go and do this.

I know! I am just making your life way too difficult!
I honestly don't know how you fight that battle each day, you are stronger than me my friend. If there wasn't an ocean between Disney and I...there would be trouble!

Well, try to have a good time and I hope you find the perfect mug. Heck, while you're at it, get 2.

I had a fantastic time- only got one mug though. That way if/when I drop this one and it starts to leak... I can start planning
again

Yay! Getting a new mug is TOTALLY a great reason to go to WDW! I bought that set of nail polish for my 3 1/2 yo niece....and I bought the big bottles for Auntie Jill.

Jill in CO

I thought so too!! Totally
They are such a cute set!! I don't think we got the big ones...silly Australia!

 

[Aussiesalad]

I love it when the universe sends obvious messages such as, "Get thee hence to WDW immediately to replace your travel mug!" I mean, seriously, it doesn't get much clearer than that!

I know right? Who am I to go against the universes wishes??
Especially when it is that clear!
I do what I am told by Mr Universe!!

Your mom is the cutest thing in her Mickey ears!

Awwhh thanks, I'll let her know. Good to know where I get my obsession from!

Oh my gosh, this is the funniest TR I have ever read! You had no other options but to book another trip to get another mug. I mean seriously what were you supposed to do, drink out of a non-disney mug?

Thanks!!! That is so sweet!!
Exactly! What else was I going to do. Ugh a non disney mug??? Neverrrrrrr!!!

I can't wait for the next update!
Thanks! Now I'm back I should have one up shortly!

You've shown remarkable restraint in waiting this long to travel to WDW to replace the mug. I commend you.

Thank you!! I really had coffee dripping down my chin for far too long!

Tervis tumblers are great for hot bevs too. I use mine for tea all the time!

Ahhhh now I'm thinking I should have got one of those as well... better turn around and go back!

Have an amazing trip--you know we're going to make you do a TR for that one too right?

Wow you're going to make me? But yes!! Far too much ridiculousness happened to not report

As a fellow coffee (and Disney!) lover, I think your reason for the trip is very valid!

Thank you for your support!! Clearly I NEEDED to go!

There are some insanely cute new ceramic travel mugs out now. How ever they are easily crack able/ breakable.

Yeahhh I am the klutz queen! I needed something durable!

Sounds like a great trip! Having to go to WDW to replace a mug is as good a reason as any! I hope you find an amazing mug! Have a great trip!

Thanks!! I thought so too! I found a great mug so it all went to plan
Can't wait to share all the adventures!

YAY!!!! I'm so happy for you that you got to go on another trip, but also happy for myself because hopefully that means another TR from you.

Awwh yay! I cant wait to tell you all about it!!! I may have even taken a frog fish photo in your honour!

I can't believe your keys were not there when you arrived from home. Honestly, they should have given you a check for the price of the hotel you had to stay in just to get some rest. That's just ridiculous! However, I (as usual) very much appreciate your stunning artwork. Keep it comin!!!

Ughghghhhhhh worst feeling ever!!!! They ended up refunding us a bit for that but still...the emotional trauma lives on!
Thanks for appreciating my 'artwork'. I tried my best to capture that awful moment!!

I hope you had the best trip ever and I can not wait to hear all about it and more about the trip from this TR!! Woooo!!

Ahhhh it really was THE BEST!!! Well chapters ahoy and then I'll be onto the new one! Many crazy stories to tell!

 

[Aussiesalad]

I just got the chance to get started and catch up on your trip, but that's so awesome that you were able to go back so soon! I hope you had a great time and can't wait to hear about it!

Ahhh it was SO good! I can't wait to tell you all stories!

Okay, this may end up being long winded.

All good! I enjoy long winded comments

Wait....you drove from California to Florida with no stops but gas! OMG, that's insane.

Ahhhh it was crazy! It really sounded a lot easier than it was lol

No shame in staying offsite, we've all done it before.

haha no judgement here- sometimes you need to do what you need to do to go to the world

I also have never had dining reservations before too. No judgment here.

Considering I ate Mickey bars for 95% of my meals, I was all good!

Food pictures take time....I used to constantly forget to take pictures.

It's so hard to remember sometimes...especially when you are super hungry (and all you eat is mickey bars)

Look at you making a fancy dancy laminated driving schedule. My road trips have never ever been that organized.

Yeah well look where all that organization got me!!??

Listen, at least if you breathed in all of those moths, you had sustenance for a while.....

Ugh I don't know if you have ever eaten a moth, but they taste as awful as you imagine they would...

Oh jeez, that's totally something my Dad has done! Leaving his wallet / phone / head on the top of the car and driving off! That's amazing that they were still there!

Ahhh my dad has done it a bunch of times with library books Oh dads!

Only in Texas would they post a sign like that. And only in Texas would they post at a Pediatrician's office "please leave your guns inside the car". No joke....my cousin lives in Texas.

Oh my lord. That is so disturbing!!!

You are correct....some people just look like murderers.

Totally! Glad you can agree with me there!

It only takes one person in your group to make you get pulled over by border patrol.

It only takes one gangsta tank top with backwards baseball hat combo...

4am dinners at Denny's do tend to be a bit strange. I think I have found myself under some tables there too.

I'm sure I wasn't the first or the last to climb under a strangers table at Denny's at some ungodly hour.

Road trips....the result of which is always scary looking hair and skin. My least favorite part.

Ugh everyone looks so scary after being in a car for days!

Most times, when you go into a mens bathroom, you don't know how you got there. Don't overthink it.

That is some good life advice right there my friend!

Woo hoo, out of Texas!!!!

I knowwwww!!!!!

You didn't know that turtles made suicide pacts? They can't stand the fact that they move so slowly. They just can't take it anymore.

It was ridiculous! Stop killing yourselves! Life is worthwhile!

Oh no, that poor turtle! I'm so sad.....

Ugh it was awful! We really did cry...

Back in 5 minutes? When you have to pee?! That's no joke dude.

It was no joke, it was awful! I nearly leaped into his arms when he appeared with the keys!!!

I have peed in a bush before. I admit that wholly and freely.

Ahhh as have I. But when you gotta go...

I would have named my GPS Janet. In case you have to dammit......

Bahahahaha Aaaaand now I am breaking into song. Hooray!

I find your trust falls story to be hysterical. Because honestly, everything is hilarious when you've been awake for that long.

Hooray! Im glad you found it funny!
We were soooo overtired at this stage!

I have not fallen asleep in a strangers driveway. I have backed into a mailbox in a strangers driveway from lack of sleep on a road trip though....

Oh no!! How did you manage that? That is too funny!!!

I am totally going to start drawing on my trips on my iPad. You have inspired me.

Yay! It's so much fun, especially when you're in a car for dayyyyss!

Caffeine overload = no joke.

That bit was not very funny...

I could not have imagined what that felt like, getting there and having no way to get into your vacation home. Grrrr....

I had never been more upset and angry and disappointed and tired. EVER!

Congratulations on your promotion at work btw.

Thanks!! It's been very full on though...the break at WDW was wonderful!

I totally have some of those Minnie Mouse polishes.

They are sooo cute!!

I hope that was a enough of a longwinded reply!
