An Invasion of a "STRANGER" Kind.... NEW THREAD IS UP!! Go Thee NOW!

[All7OfUs]

I got stuck behind a parade of yurts and shashlik this morning on my way to work. I wondered what the heck was going on? Oh yeah -- Nauruz! (just kidding)

Anyway, glad to hear the strudel turned out so good. Sounds like the whole family enjoyed it. You had it with coffee too, right?

A yurtmobile would be pretty funny!! I had a hankerin' for some grilled meat on a stick tonight, but we ended up with Spicy Cheeseburger Soup instead. Maybe tomorrow.

I only have 1 dose of de-caf left, and at 11:00 I thought it was too late for reg. So, no, I staved off yearning to make the strudel better with coffee and had milk instead.

I made a huge medicine error today, that ruined my whole day. I had a pretty bad allergy attack around 10:00 this morning, and didn't think that taking 2 pills would be so bad. WRONG!! I slept until 2:00!!! And was groggy all the way through a prayer meeting, and am now going to pay for it with a crappy night's sleep. Lesson learned.

I know that a yurt is not something that would appear in a parade, but it sounded funny to me, so I went with it.

Sorry to hear about your medicine error. Hope you can get some sleep start off tomorrow fresh.

Double post...

I don't know if I'd like a cigar- must be a guy thing. But then again, lots of things taste pretty good after enough Coronas.

Well, the conversation over at Glennbo's enticed me to do up some strudel. (with one e!) Unfortunately, any self restraint I exercised with cookies went flying out the window in a moment of strudel-y weakness.

To wax or not to wax--- that is the question. I loved Mrs. The King's discourses on waxing!! I wish she'd come back!

Cigar's are good on New Years. That's about it.

WE just got up from the table from completey decimating the entire thing!! It was beyond fabulous!!


It wasn't very pretty, but ohhhhhhhhhhhhh so delish!!

I did take several pix, but won't be able to upload until later this weekend. It is a massive holiday weekend here. Spring equinox, called Nauruz (or Navruz depending on where you are) is the Central Asian New Year. DH has a 5 day weekend! Hopefully I will make it over to our Central Square and get some good shots of the traditional dancing and singing and such!! THere will be yurts and shashlik too!! Should be fun!

My strudel is sitting mighty fine- if I had had the normal problems with re-creating my new ticker, it might have given me massive heartburn...

You beat me to it! I can't wait to see pics and here how it went. Could you read the paper through it?

I just realized I am gone all day Sunday at a darn tournament so if I make it...it will be tomorrow. Unless I get inspired today.

Which is unlikely. Friday is official no-cook day around here.

Sorry about the allergy medicine, yikes!

Sounds like a fun weekend though

New ticker looks good! Looks like they have a new POR image, I likey!

We just posted on each other's threads at the same time. Weird!

Nope. It was the prepackaged stuff you can buy here- similar to phyllo dough. I rolled it a bit thinner and went with it that way. It probably was a long, looooooooooong way off from the real dealio, but everyone raved, and it was gone, and that counts in my book!

Yours, I'm sure will win the "looks and tastes great" prize!!!

I"m off to bed right now. Hopefully, I can still sleep. If the far too long a nap doesnt' keep me up though, my bum neck should do the trick.

I'll make sure to take loads of pix of the weekend stuff!

Ugh, I had the bad neck last night, woke up at 2am and could NOT go back to sleep. Got up for 2 hours, something I never do. It will hit me later for sure.

On the nights I do that, about once every couple weeks, I get out my spreadsheet and fill in the finer details of trip planning. Stuff like which way around WS is most efficient, what show time to hit FoLK- little things like that. I have a ways to go in that...

Big, fat, BTW...

I really want to work more on my itinerary pages. I basically have a front and a back to work with. I know I want to put my touring plan on one side- what would you do for the back??

Ideas:

-- Show times (things like Nemo, or Main St. Trolley Show, or Little Mermaid)

-- FP Attractions

-- EMH attractions

-- ????? I was thinking maybe I'd have room for like 3 separate little squares of paper glued on, so 3 (4 max) things that would be handy, helpful, etc... to have at my finger tips.

Yes, you are right, they do have a new ticker for POR. I was glad- I like this one a lot; it's fun to have a change, for sure! But I don't like that Tink is starting over!!!

I hear ya, I was trying to figure out how I could pay for Evan's TKD tournament, his next black belt test, our OOP costs in CA and all these darn summer camps...all before I get my first paycheck.

Bleh.

I don't know that I'd bother with EMH attractions. As a general rule all the truly popular ones, hot FP sites, seem to be open. We did EMH every night and I can't say there was anything we tried to do that wasn't open and we often saved things for EMH that we couldn't get into earlier due to lazy teens.

I was listing FP attractions but the more I think about it I wonder if that's a good use of valuable space. Really, at this point, I think we probably have most of them memorized!



I haven't decided yet what to do. You will probably see it evolve over the next 2 weeks though.

I'd probably add tips along with the show times. Like noting where you need to be in AK before that darn parade starts so you aren't stuck. Or if you are stuck you are where you want to be.

And maybe hidden mickey info....

 

[englishrose47]

Evening All !!!I think I need a recap on the clues !!! Short term and Long too memory loss !!!

I went to Club Cool in February and they had NO Beverley

True, I think I do have them memorized-

I LOVE the idea the HMs!!! Then the book can be used to find them. But having them on the Cliff Notes version will help to jog my memory on the general area!

YES!!!! TIPS on where to NOT be at 3:00 is a great idea! I want to be on rides NOT Dreaming a Dream!!

Maybe a few snack options (although I mostly have that figured out), or memory joggers for souvies...

I'll post Clue #4 today, Rosie (my time- HA! while you're sleeping...) and I'll do a quick recap of things.

NONE AT ALL!!?? Maybe you were spared??

 

[Millie12591]

I'm so proud of you for starting your program!!! I know how much you weren't looking forward to this.

I'm also happy I've been apart of this crazy journey you've been on. I apologize for not being here more lately! I miss our late night.....well early, early, (on my part) morning talks.

I can't wait for you to come back to the states! I'm looking forward to us having a get together or two over the next year or so. I would love it if you would come and visit me here in Texas, there's much to see and do and I'm sure we'd have a blast seeing it together.

Forgot to add....Can you believe I'm less than 60 days away from my trip?!?

This calls for a dance.....

 

[All7OfUs]

Tate O'Patty says Good Morning to you all! (S)he wanted to show you his brand new get up that (s)he'll wear when (s)he gets to the China Pavilion on our trip. I don't know if (s)he'll get to use hisher chopsticks, but they'll be at the ready nonetheless.

Now, onto the business at hand: Clue #4 in our Game of ADR Combat.

Basically, you will just use, once again, the clues for #3. But I will add that this is ALSO for Friday, Sept. 10th.

Remember:

1) We'll be spending the day at EPCOT.

2) We'll likely be touring the WS counterclockwise.

3) PM EMH will be that night until midnight.

4) Hopefully, we'll be doing a KP Mission today.

5) This ADR is also for 3 people.


NOW, some of you have been asking for a recap:

Let me give you the Cliff Notes version...

You need to take these restaurants:

Kona, Biergarten, The Plaza, Teppan Edo, The Garden Room at GF, Jiko, and Boma

and stick them into a Breakfast, lunch or dinner slot using the following clues:


Wed., Sept. 8th;

1. We're moving from the Poly to POR this day.

2. It is a reservation for 3.

3. We won't be using a regular park ticket this day.

4. Tonight is our MNSSHP.

Thurs., Sept. 9th;

1) We'll be spending the day at AK (no PHing).

2) In the evening, we are going to Yeehaw Bob's show.

3) We'll want to linger over this meal and enjoy our time, but not too long.

Fri., Sept. 10th;

1) We'll be spending the day in EPCOT.

2) Mostly likely we'll tour counterclockwise in WS.

3) We'll be watching Illuminations in the evening, then catching PM EMH.

And again Fri., Sept. 10th (Clue #4);
1) We'll be spending the day at EPCOT.

2) We'll likely be touring the WS counterclockwise.

3) PM EMH will be that night until midnight.

4) Hopefully, we'll be doing a KP Mission today.

5) This ADR is also for 3 people.

Three more left, and I imagine by now, you have a pretty good idea of what's starting to fit where. Just a little think, a little deduction, a little logic.

Remember, just keep your ideas stored away until you get the last clues, then PM your guesses on or before March 31st.

Hey Long Lost Friend!!!!

Well, not really lost, I know right where you've been!! It's been a wild ride, to be sure! A season to lean in and trust more- that's always a good thing.

It really turned cold again. In fact, we got a few flakes of snow last night, so wogging is out again for a time. Tis ok, I'll be doing my video and arm weights that I"ve been doing until the weather heats up again.

YES!! Get togethers will be fun!! I have several friends in your area, and it'd be nice to get down there to visit!! GB, are you reading this??? You're right there too!! I"m sure we could squeeze some brisket in there with a side of cheese stuffed jalepenos!!!


I saw your 60 days dance on Jordan's thread. I said I'd give a dance, but that Jordan's are usually better, so I'd leave it up to him. Sho nuff, he gave you a travel aisle jump move.

 

[Millie12591]

It's been a great ride for us as well. Feel free to wax yourself anytime. Wait, that didn't...oh nevermind.



My guess is Colonlel Mustard, with the fanny pack, in the Canada Pavilion. Or was I supposed to wait until the end? I can never remember these things you know.

G.B., your such a nut!

No wonder your still up. I think my mouth did one of these.... when I saw your light on. I know, I know, I shouldn't be up myself. I'll be gettin off here in about 10 mins. or so.

You know you still love me, Leisa.

Well, it's 1:30 in the afternoon here, but I had yet another rotten night's sleep. I NEED to keep up with my heat therapy, Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant at bed regime. I guess I had thought that once it was feeling better, I could lay off the routine, but apparently this is going to be something I just have to do as "maintenance".

Today, Mike is out doing some pruning and early spring gardening, and I'm being lazy on the computer. Ugh!! I really should whip up some sort of lunch and do some cleaning...

 

[that's nice]

I've said this plenty of times.... 2 hours later I'm still on the boards!!!

Sorry to hear this Liesa...

Did you hurt you back or something? Sorry still trying to jump back in the 'loop'

 

[Flossbolna]

I'm trying to convince my sister to bake a strudel for me on sunday... whish me luck!

and you hope by posting this here entices me to really make one???

 

[MKBekka]

Well, hair on the top of your head is generally quite useful, too! It's a huge topic for some of my male friends...

yep! i've had head-hair ever since I was 4!!

Ummmm.... certainly not mine..

BUT dad has nice lashes and YOU don't!
