Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[Steppesister]

-40 yesterday... today, much warmer -10C/14F... but I had to shovel snow.

Time to break out the t-shirts. For Hawaii.

Hmmm... how about "I'll have one ice cream sandwich for the road."

There! Much better.

Oh, pffft. Says the lady with freaking flowers in her yard.
We won't see anything bloom for at least another 3 mon

Not until May?! Sad. Very, very sad.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

When was the last time you counted to ten...
"Zero, one, two, three..."
Right. Never.

Well I do Homeschool Little Miss.... so its happened once or twice.

Of all the drivel I've written...
All the chapters, updates, anecdotes...
This has got to be the most boring ONE of all.

Fun!

one.



1.




1 week til Maui.

But I would be remiss if I forgot my harem.
That just would not do.

So...

And Wishing ALL my readers a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentines day!

If it weren't so cold there, I'd say I'll be right over!

You might even need your emergency jacket.

And they were sooo good. With real hollandaise!

So she cooks them up into a rock and smokes them?

That darn dog! And I sent her a leash!

I know! Which, by the way, is the only leash we use now.

You said you were making potatos! Seriously potatos are my favorite food! I could live on them!

I know. I know.
But it just seemed so funny sitting there all by itself.

I don't like eggs benedict either. Of course our eggs are the substitute because I'm allergic to yolks.

Well then the yolks on you!
'Cause they were delish!

Oh yeah, I even bought my own gift. A birthstone Alex and Ani bracelet.

1. You need to find yourself a man who'll treat you like a princess.
2. Such a man probably doesn't exist.
3. So might as well stick with him unless he never puts the toilet seat down.

Time to break out the t-shirts. For Hawaii.

I wear t-shirts year 'round, actually.

There! Much better.

Phew!

Not until May?! Sad. Very, very sad.

It was worse when we lived in Churchill.
Spring: mid-June to July
Summer: July to mid-to-late-August
Fall: late-August to early-September
Winter: early-September to mid-June

Those winters were long!

 

[pkondz]

Well I do Homeschool Little Miss.... so its happened once or twice.

Okay. So it's never for everyone except you guys once or twice.

Fun!

You're crazy, lady!

Happy Valentines day!

 

[Gracefulskinny]

You're crazy, lady!

WHo me?

 

[queenbetsey]

well I am glad I was able to jump on in time to wish you a safe and happy trip. Make sure to send lots of pics to your friends, I mean isn't that half the fun of going to Maui in the middle of winter anyway? Keep an eye out for purse snatchers, don't forget to have a Hawaiian ice or two,
and update on Max. we go back to the surgeon on wed. (actually my daughter is taking him) so we can find out the next step in this journey. I want to htank all of you for you prayers and support. I just adore this crazy little dis family we all have here.

 

[vrajewski10513]

Just wanted to wish you safe travels to Maui!! Enjoy your vacation!!!

 

[DISNEYMOON10121991]

HI!!
I've been a bad, bad girl. Not working the crazy hours as you but working 6 days a week since the being of the year gets real long. Along with kids, dog surgery, and life I just didn't get on the computer.
I'm sure since you have so many in your harem, you didn't miss me.
I think it also might be because I had no Pkondz TR.My afternoons and Sunday mornings would never be the same.
Right now I'm pages behind
You know I really spending time reading and chatting here. I promise to be better.
I'll just get some quick comments to this recent page.
1st thanks for making be hungry for eggs benedict!! And hash browns! Do you shred your own potatoes?

I wear t-shirts year 'round, actually.

Me too. Have one on now. I get too warm at work. As the saying goes..you can put a sweater on, but you can only take so much off!
Now if I'm relaxing at home on a winter day, I will have my fleece Disney shirt on
Rambling done.
Just want to make sure I got a chance to wish you a wonderful vacation in Maui!! You deserve it!
Wish I could give you the Hawaiian Hang Loose hand symbol. I'll leave you with a song I learn when there:

Just hang loose
Just have fun
Sipping on a drink, lying in the sun
Don't try to fight it, it ain't no use
Cause when you're in Hawaii
Ya just hang loose!

 

[franandaj]

I wear t-shirts year 'round, actually.

I can only wear them between November and early February. There are a few weeks between Christmas and mid January where long sleeve shirts are worn. February through October is tank top season.

It was worse when we lived in Churchill.
Spring: mid-June to July
Summer: July to mid-to-late-August
Fall: late-August to early-September
Winter: early-September to mid-June

have a great trip!

 

[pkondz]

well I am glad I was able to jump on in time to wish you a safe and happy trip.

Oh, there's plenty of time.
We don't leave for....

HOLY CRAP!!! 2 days!

Make sure to send lots of pics to your friends, I mean isn't that half the fun of going to Maui in the middle of winter anyway?

Good point!

Keep an eye out for purse snatchers,

I've never worried about purse snatchers.
Ruby does, but me... not so much.



pickpockets on the other hand...

don't forget to have a Hawaiian ice or two,

Oh, I think I might find the time for one or two.

and update on Max. we go back to the surgeon on wed. (actually my daughter is taking him) so we can find out the next step in this journey. I want to htank all of you for you prayers and support. I just adore this crazy little dis family we all have here.

Good luck on Wednesday. Keep us informed if you feel so inclined.
And yes... this is an adorable little dis family, isn't it.

Thanks Tori!

 

[pkondz]

HI!!

I've been a bad, bad girl.

Ooohhh... that's the best kind.

Not working the crazy hours as you but working 6 days a week since the being of the year gets real long.

Yep. That's a lot of days right there.

Along with kids, dog surgery, and life I just didn't get on the computer.

Dog surgery? Is the dog okay?

I'm sure since you have so many in your harem, you didn't miss me.

Of course I missed you. Anytime a harem member goes AWOL, I get concerned.

I think it also might be because I had no Pkondz TR.My afternoons and Sunday mornings would never be the same.
Right now I'm pages behind

Well then you have plenty to keep you occupied.

You know I really spending time reading and chatting here. I promise to be better.

A promise is a promise!

I'll just get some quick comments to this recent page.

Okay, shoot.

1st thanks for making be hungry for eggs benedict!! And hash browns! Do you shred your own potatoes?

Sorry!
A little clarification.
We use pan fries and hash browns interchangeably up here.
So technically I made pan fries.
I slice the spuds in half (and if they're large, in quarters)
then thinly slice.
Boil in salted water for 9 minutes, pan fry in oil and butter,
throw in some diced onion, salt & pepper. Voila... and yum.

Me too. Have one on now. I get too warm at work.

Really! The women in my office are always freezing.
One in particular.
All the guys wear just a shirt, she's always wearing a sweater
and huddling in front of the portable heater.

As the saying goes..you can put a sweater on, but you can only take so much off!

Take it off! Take it off!
Plus you could earn extra dollar bills that way.

Now if I'm relaxing at home on a winter day, I will have my fleece Disney shirt on
Rambling done.

Well rambled.

Just want to make sure I got a chance to wish you a wonderful vacation in Maui!! You deserve it!

Thanks!

Wish I could give you the Hawaiian Hang Loose hand symbol.

Just hang loose
Just have fun
Sipping on a drink, lying in the sun
Don't try to fight it, it ain't no use
Cause when you're in Hawaii
Ya just hang loose!

Thanks for that too!
I will endeavour to hang appropriately loose as decorum dictates.

I can only wear them between November and early February. There are a few weeks between Christmas and mid January where long sleeve shirts are worn. February through October is tank top season.

You don't want to see a dude in a tank top unless he's really hot.

So you won't see me in one.

have a great trip!

Thanks Alison!

(And I have to apologize, for reasons which will become slightly clearer
when I start to write the TR, I don't think I'm going to have a chance
to get over to your TR until I'm back.)

That's probably true but by the same token even a morbidly obese woman hopefully does not look too bad. If I do I don't care because I'm too warm in anything else!

Thanks Alison!

No worries! I'm just going to keep plugging along. I have two TRs going and I thought that the other one was going to slow down with the trip to the Mississippi and not many trips to DL in the plans, but today they announced that F&W is coming back to DCA on weekends in April so the other TR is going to be ramped up just when the Mississippi part of my current TR gets going. I will kill off that TR after F&W because I will have a new TR of F&G at Epcot with Naked Jim. Too many TRs!

 

[Steppesister]

Have fun!!

 

[pkondz]

If I do I don't care because I'm too warm in anything else!

You just said you were hot.

I'm okay with that. Just pointing it out.

today they announced that F&W is coming back to DCA on weekends in April

I saw that you were pretty excited about it on FB.

I will kill off that TR after F&W because I will have a new TR of F&G at Epcot with Naked Jim. Too many TRs!

I have no idea how you manage that!

 

[pkondz]

Have fun!!

Thanks Liesa!

 

[orangecats2]

Have a good time!
When is the Baniff trip?
And WDW?

So did you make chips? Not big on homemade chips, I prefer more potato.

 

[pkondz]

Have a good time!

Thanks Carrie!

When is the Baniff trip?

Not 'til September.

And WDW?

No date in sight.

So did you make chips? Not big on homemade chips, I prefer more potato.

It depends on what you mean by "chips".
If you mean chips like you'd buy in a bag at the convenience store,
then no.
But if you mean like in Fish & Chips... then no.

More like this:

Not crispy like those look like they might be, though.
Definitely potato-y.

 

[afwdwfan]

(Will you please stop bringing up the three point shot!!!)

What about free throws?

Tomorrow... 2 days to Maui.

Since that was posted on Sunday and today is Tuesday, I guess you're a free throw away from Maui now? Have a great time!
