It's never too early to start drinking! My favorite saying is, it's 5:00 somewhere!

Thanks Lori - I love it when people tell me what I want to hear!

You could always have a drink for me we're 5 hours ahead of Florida time

Will do...the first drink of the day once we're airborne will be in honor of you, Jo! Besides, if you're five hours ahead of Florida then you're six hours ahead of us, so it will actually be lunchtime.

And this way Jason will have something tasty to wash down all the peanut residue from playing his The Amazing Kreskin Loves Peanuts game.

How many peanuts do you think are in the vacuum sealed pack?

This weekend my window to further weight loss opportunity opens up as I begin the requisite purging for Monday's colonoscopy. I'm going to try to be a good girl between then and May 25th, when all dieting and good eating habits will prompty be tossed out the window for a week of culinary and alcoholic indulgence.

That reminds me of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, where the conversation went a little like this:

Michelle:Remember the prom? You got so thin by then.
Romy: Oh, I know. I was so lucky getting mono. That was like the best diet ever.

C'mon, you see yourself in Romy just a teensy bit.

Do you guys think that 7AM is too early to start drinking on the plane?

Nah. When I went to Vegas in January, my flight out was early morning, and I managed to upgrade to First. The lovely man who was one of our First Class flight attendants offered me the magical elixir of coffee with Bailey's in it. I would not have thought about doing that on my own, but when he twisted my arm, how could I refuse? Go for it!
Especially since you have those free drink coupons.

For remembering your brother. Your a great Aunt to those kids.

Good luck with the medical issues. Hope they don't interfer with your trip. There is just so many good things to eat at WDW!

Do you guys think that 7AM is too early to start drinking on the plane?

We have all these free drink coupons from Southwest and if we don't use them soon they're going to expire. And that would be a shame.

Nope. Not at all. In fact, I think it's imperative that you start the trip with a mimosa or two. (Do they even make those on Southwest?)

You could always claim that your child has been giving you a rough time all morning and you need to calm your nerves. Just don't let on that your "child" is a green, stuffed one-cell organism.

Bloody Marys all the way. Go, go, go!!! (You have to drink at least one for me. I don't think I can have one on my 8:00 flight, but I'll want to!)

Bwahahahahahahaahahahaaa!!! That movie is one of my guilty pleasures.

Fine. You've got me... I sounded just like her.

Baileys with coffee might be a pretty good option that early in the morning - suggestion duly noted!

Thanks Puggymom, that's very kind of you. And I'm going to do my best not to let anything get in the way of the WDW food later this month.

Nope. Not at all. In fact, I think it's imperative that you start the trip with a mimosa or two. (Do they even make those on Southwest?)

I don't think they make those officially on Southwest, but I'm sure we could improvise.

You could always claim that your child has been giving you a rough time all morning and you need to calm your nerves. Just don't let on that your "child" is a green, stuffed one-cell organism.

Everyone's a comedian today...I love it!

Bloody Marys all the way. Go, go, go!!! (You have to drink at least one for me. I don't think I can have one on my 8:00 flight, but I'll want to!)

Would you believe me if I told you that I've never tried a bloody mary? How do they taste? I've always imagined that it's just like drinking a glass of V8, and I don't need that on an airplane.


Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!!

 

[oybolshoi]

Just popping in to post one of those really annoying "I only have XX number of days before leaving for WDW" statements.

We leave for WDW in 16 days!!!

Tomorrow is Jason's birthday and I don't have anything for him. I gave him something a month or so ago and then he'll have his surprise when we get to SSR but I still feel like a bad wife for not having something for him on his actual birthday.

I can't remember the last time I received a gift from him on my birthday.

OK...back to work...sort of.

Brenda......guess what I had for the first time ever on Sunday?

Here's a hint, before I covered it in syrup and ate 3/4 of it in one bite:

I had just run the Minnie Marathon (not a REAL marathon but it sure as heck felt like one) and was sweating my butt off and starving for unhealthy breakfast, and thus demanded that Lionel take me for some Tonga Toast. It was totally worth it. And their coffee was great! I don't even like coffee and I had two cups.

17 days!

Yep, that's about it, V8 with a little something extra. I didn't think about the, um, intestinal difficulties that might be involved there. Sorry! My head is not on straight today!

Disneymom5

I'm lovin' the title of your next TR!

Ooops.... I stay busy for a few days and don't read Brenda's thread and somebody actually talks to me! Thanks!
Here's hoping the actual report, and, dare I say, the actual trip, live up to it. LOL

 

[mlill]

Happy Birthday Jay!

Funny stuff will be inserted later - after I have had my morning coffee. Thank you for you patience.

Brenda- I'm sure you will be able to think of something to give Jason for his birthday...

Later-
Michelle

 

[BriarRosie]

Happy Birthday, Jay!



Brenda's been showing us her literacy again...with no pants on.

Jason, it's your birthday!
Happy Birthday Jason!

Happy Birthday Jason!

I started to type out the whole song, but he may not appreciate me wishing him his first kiss from a boy!

Erica finally tries the Tonga Toast!!! The dancing banana icon seemed particularly appropriate since the bread is stuffed full of banana-ey goodness.

Glad you liked it and congrats on the Minnie Marathon!! 13 Days to go!!

No need for apologies...all alcoholic suggestions are taken in the spirit in which they are offered.

Oh no..."spirit" in which they are offered...

I loves me a good pun.

Ooops.... I stay busy for a few days and don't read Brenda's thread and somebody actually talks to me! Thanks! Here's hoping the actual report, and, dare I say, the actual trip, live up to it. LOL

I have high hopes for your trippie, young lady, high hopes indeed.

Happy Birthday Jay!

And thank you, Lori.

And thank you, too, Crystal.


Jason says thanks to all of you for wishing him a happy day - I took him to dinner and got him pleasantly squiffed on wine and then made him eat dessert!!

13 more days to WDW!!!

 

[oybolshoi]

Woo Hoo!! I meant to say that I got my dress back from the mother-in-law last night and it fits like a dream. That woman is a sewing goddess!

And I had my obligatory pre-vacation facial and eyebrow fixin' last night...such a great way to relax after a week of crap at the office. I should have these kinds of evenings more often. We should all have them more often. With all the work we do, don't we deserve that?

Yes. Yes we do.

Yes. Yes we do.

Yes we do! I say that EVERY time I get a massage or a pedicure. Too bad I don't follow my own advice.

Jay and I are both at that point where we've begun checking the 10-day forecast for Orlando on weather.com. Anything to make the trip inch ever closer, right? 12 more days...the single-digit dance is just on the horizon.

So...today I'm cleaning house. I can't stand to go on a trip knowing that my house isn't clean, because then I'll get home from vacation and start cleaning right away...who needs that?

We finally were able to plant our vegetable garden last night - woo hoo! And in keeping with the mockery of the weather gods, we shouldn't see any more rain in this area until mid-July or until all of our tomato plants are totally dead.

And since I'm having my colonoscopy tomorrow I'm on a no-food diet for the next 24 hours. Actually I haven't eaten since about 6PM last night...so hungry.

Oh well, life could always be worse.

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there - have a great day!!

And you know what, everyone else go ahead and have a great day, too, ok?

It always makes me SO hungry just knowing that I'm not allowed to eat!! Oh well, just think of it as a pre-trip diet! You get to make up for all the stuff you miss today at WDW, where the food is always better! (And often shaped like things!)

Did Plankton get you a mother's or minion's day card? I'm yet to get anything from my cats. Humph!
