[macman752]

Another July birthday here. Mine was yesterday.

DW and I went to MK for a couple of hours. Picked up the gift card, did a couple of rides then the Wishes Fireworks Dessert Buffet.

We were seated at a front row table for two. All the desserts were delicious and the view of the fireworks was spectacular.

Hi everyone! I seem to forget to make my way over to this thread, but I am thinking about this trip a LOT already!

I am still wondering about the four "mystery guests" though.

 

[slapwhitey]

We are looking forward to this trip as well. Can't wait. Problem is...like a lot of us on here. We have so many different trips scheduled from now til then that I can't devote all my research into just one trip. Woe is me. What a tough predicament.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes!

I had a wonderful birthday weekend. We relaxed around the house on Saturday, swam in the pool and Bill made me a yummy steak dinner. The birthday cheesecake was delicious as usual. Now on to one my presents ...

I've worn glasses since I was eight years old. I turned 37 this past Saturday. So, I've worn glasses for 29 years of my life. Bill had lasik surgery two years ago. His first words after the surgery were ... "I wish I had done it sooner." He knows my glasses have been a HUGE burden in my life from swimming in the pool to riding rollercoasters or just being able to see the alarm clock in the morning. So, Bill took it upon himself to make me an appointment for this morning with the doctor that performed his lasik surgery for a consultation. Before having the surgery, they have to so some tests to make sure I am a suitable candidate for lasik (I was told about 20% of people are NOT able to have lasik). After about an hour of read this line and look at this light, I was told I AM a candidate for lasik. I did an internal happy dance in the office. On Friday, I will be glasses free!

I have to tell you the funny way Bill presented this present to me. I opened a box that had Mike from Monster, Inc. on one end and a laser pointer glued to DS9's Legos on the other end. There was a sign next to the laser that read "Press Me". When I pressed the laser, it pointed right into Mike's big eye. I have to give Bill credit, that was VERY creative. I took a picture. I'll post it when I load the pictures into photobucket.

So sorry to be late, but wishing you all very Happy Birthday wishes!

Jennifer, Bill is extremely creative to have thought of that!! Very good luck luck with the surgery!! Alas, I am one of the 20% (actually, was told I could have it in one eye but would still need glasses) so I envy you. I hope all goes well and that the healing is quick and pain free.

Happy Tuesday folks!

Jennifer, smooth sailing on Friday!

Hey Lynne!

I'm getting even more excited about this trip too Completely unexpectedly, our Christmas travel plans have us starting in LA, and DH was looking at the calender and said we should head down a few days early so we can go to Disneyland!

Oh boy!!! I can't wait to show him PoC, scream on California Screaming and Matterhorn, sail the SS Columbia and snack on a Trio of Fritters while waiting for RDCT fireworks!

He only remembers the submarines from his trip to DLR as a kid, so we'll have to go submerge with Nemo too. And of course, go on a wild ride with Mr. Toad.

I'll be feeling a lot less guilty about doing ABD without him now!

cheers,

Congrats on Lasik! That was a very creative way to tell you! Good job Bill.

So sorry to be late, but wishing you all very Happy Birthday wishes!

I also am in the 20% that can't have it.

Sorry, I missed this post last week. Another Cancer in the group! On our Fifth Anniversary, Bill and I got matching tattoos. Since we are both Cancers, we got the Cancer symbol on our ankles. That hurt! Ouch! I am not really into tattoos or self-inflected pain. However, I do want to get a Disney tattoo eventually. I'm 50/50 on what I want to get, Tink or Snow White. I'm leaning more towards Snow White because I see Tinker Bell ones everywhere and I am a brunette like Snow White. One day ...

Hi Jen -

How was surgery?? hope everything went well!

Hi Jen -

How was surgery?? hope everything went well!

I'm getting it done tomorrow. Thank you for asking.

I've had to put two sets of eye drops in my eyes today every four hours. I am not an eye drops person. I have to pry my eyes open to keep them from blinking before I can get the drops in. I can't wait to see how I get them in after the surgery.

My appointment is at 11 AM tomorrow. I am anxious and have butterflies in my stomach. I am going to need that valium they give you before the procedure. I can't imagine life without my glasses.

I have to rest my eyes this weekend. So, no computer time for me. I'll check back in with y'all early next week and let you know how it went. I can't open my eyes for four hours after the surgery. It's a great time to catch up on some Podcasts.

Thank you for all the kind well wishes!
Jennifer

Here's the picture of Mike and the laser Bill gave me for my birthday.

Also, what's a Disney fan without a Mickey phone. This was from the children for my birthday. He talks when it rings. Very cute!

Yummy birthday cheesecake compliments of DH.

Jen: Good luck! Fingers crossed! It's going to go great.
