Dreaming is what Disney is all about, right? But this one............oh no they will eat us.

Tread lightly....
it wasn't too long ago we had about 2 pages poofed & a few folks got reprimanded after we ventured down this path when some troll showed up & started trouble. Not sure we should go there again.

I can only imagine the turmoil of making ti a thread thats why I quietly dreamt it here

Well today is finally saturday!!!!!!!!!! DBF and I are watching the world cup and he just laughed and called me a "disney dork". Believe me it was said in a very endearing manor besides I am a proud disney dork!


Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?

The not exciting part today -- grocery shopping. The fun part of today is a wine tasting followed by a baseball game (local minor leauge team). The weather is beautiful so good day to sit out, have a few beers & hopefully catch a good game.

Cheryl, your weekend is more exciting than mine!

Yesterday was a 9 mile run, hanging out with the running group a bit after, 1 hr Pilates, and a bunch of running around shopping/errands/etc.

Man it was HOT here yesterday... 80 and 85% humidity when we started the run at 7AM. It hit about 95, which is cooler than last week, but still feels rather like opening the oven door instead of your front door.

Today is laundry, some work, and a hockey game at 6:30 (playing, not watching). Whee.

Hope everyone had a great one!

My weekend started early since I decided to call in Friday for a "mental health day". *cough*

But even then all I did was sit around the house and take the occasional walk. Saturday morning I woke up and couldn't sleep so I headed out to the nature trail that goes through my neighborhood at around 6:00 am. I was looking for the alligator people have seen but didn't see it. I did see some owls, hawks (which isn't unusual, but I saw them closer than normal) and some... dog like critter that I'm not sure what it was. I was an excited little nature nerd.

Thaaaaaaat's about the most interesting thing I've done this weekend. Yup.

 

[zima-cheryl]

On a totally unrelated topic... who here drinks tequila? Tammy -- I'm pretty sure you know a little about it. Anyone else?

When we were @ the tequila bar in Mexico last year I did a flight & the one tequila I liked was Don Julio. Problem is I don't remember the type. Got to the store & found out there are a few different ones. They had blanco & anejo. So what is the difference? DH thought maybe it was the color? And has anyone recently done a tequila flight @ Epcot's Mexico pavillion & remember what Don Julio variety they had?

I want to get a bottle but when dropping that much money for something I want it to be good.

DBF & I picked up a 1st birthday present for our dog, Sid. A little sister!!!! She's about 5 or 6 weeks old, 4 lbs and cute as a button! She & two others were left for dead in the woods, my angel of a friend is caring for them until they find homes.

 

[precious pixie]

oh Mondays, I never can get used to you I hit the snooze button quite a few times and find myself dragging bc it looks like its going to storm any minute. You think that would make me want to move faster......oh well

It was a pretty good weekend here. We watched soccer on Saturday and then went out to a latin bar for a friends birthday party. I'm sure there was lots of tequila but I didn't partake so I don't think I can be of much help Cherly. I know the different names are more than just about color. Have you tried to google it or call Mexico?

Sunday we watched more soccer. We live in a condo and being that we are in miami lots of people are tuning into soccer. Well some of these other viewers don't have HD (we do). We would always hear screaming and cheering about 5 seconds before we saw the goal. It was kinda funny

That sounds like a great way to spend the day. How was it? I wont be enjoying the outdoors again until fall

We all need mental health day! thats nice having that trail near you. You would probably have better luck spotting the gator in the late afternoon.

Aww how sweet!!

Sounds like a lot of fun!!

I hear you on the outdoors. It was 99 when I left for hockey last night, at 6PM.

Hockey game was fun but we lost, 3-0. After-game parking lot party was a blast.


Is it Friday yet?

 

[jennie622]

little puppy is sleeping under my desk at work right now. That's right, brought the new addition to work! She's so small, all she does is sleep. We keep calling her Tink for some reason. Think it might stick!

Anyone willing to drive to Greenville area of SC for a puppy? One boy, One girl left!

 

[jennie622]

They had blanco & anejo. So what is the difference?

I LOVE tequila! The difference is how long the tequila has been aged. Blanco (or sometimes called silver) is the "youngest" aged 0-2 months. Anejo has been aged one to three years. In between is Resposado, being aged 2 months to one year.

The longer the tequila is aged, the smoother the taste and, of course, the higher the cost. However, this also affects the way you drink it. I would not recommend using Anejo tequila for making mixed drinks, margaritas or shots even (although, it's a heck of alot easier to shoot a smoother tequila). I recommend drinking a really nice (ie: expensive) tequila in a snifter. Enjoy it like a fine wine or scotch. No salt or lime needed.

Don Julio is a very nice brand, one that most people would not stumble upon unless recommended or in a tasting/flight. This is how I have found my favorites (wine included). Whenever I have the chance to order a flight or go to a tasting, I'm in! Check out your local restaurants & stores to see what they offer. Oh! and don't forget the Food & Wine Festival!!

P.S. My favorite tequila is Lapiz Anejo. Good Luck!

Thanks Jennie! That is how I found it... on that flight @ La Cava in Epcot.

Unfortunately our local stores are all state run ABC liquor stores... not a lot of help there w/the spirits. But we do have enough local Mexican restaurants I should snoop around & see what they have to offer.

F&W is on our radar for 2011. With the big move this year we are not even sure we can swing a weekend trip in 2010. But next year we are going for F&W DH's parents. I'll be sure we hit a tequila tasting then (assuming they are still offering them).

Hi Everyone! I'm new around here (kinda ... I forgot my old username and had to make a new one), so I wanted to jump in. I'm Cee, late 20's, married for almost 10 years, and child-free by choice! The Hus and I are HUGE Disney fans (Premium AP carriers - and proud!) and we go 3-4 times annually.
Nice to meet you all

WTH!!!!? The thread was from 2008 and I posted and bumped it!

I thought it was recent b/c I saw the month was May! Didn't bother looking at the year.

No one stopped me!!!

To all the new folks... WELCOME!
You'll find us a diverse group. And mostly harmless to ourselves & others.
Can I recommend you hit cafe press's website & pick up some shirts to announce your special event? And for the special day go all out -- I had the "40" tiara that I wore all day -- people (CMs & other guests) really get into helping you celebrate. Every bar we hit people were talking, chatting & having fun w/us.

Or you might try Zazzle- that's what I'm doing for our girl trip in October. We're making Princess and Queen shirts, and then our own MNSSHP shirts, and I've got tiaras from Claire's to wear around. Definitely celebrate and have a blast!!!!

...and Lestat is back to the vet(regular one this time though). Ever since he got back from quarantine, he's been kinda sick. Tuesday afternoon/evening he was acting ok/eating really good. But he has kinda watery eyes when we picked him up from quarantine and then he started sneezing a lot once he got home. yesterday, the eyes didn't look quite as bad, but in addition to sneezing, he started wheezing a bit. He ate everything I put down yesterday until last night when he didn't quite finish his can of food. Now this morning, he's only eaten a TINY little bit of his can and he's still all wheezy and just kinda laying around, so we figured it's best to get him checked out. We think he might have gotten an upper respiratory infection while in quarantine, the symptoms check out. When we called this vet(recommend by our Dustin's grandma, who's always taken her cats there) they were told the whole story and that he needs to be sedated for the exam and she already quoted me the price for it. Hopefully he'll get some medicine and feel better and this whole ordeal can be behind us...finally.


ETA: he does have an upper respiratory infection(that he picked up while in quarantine). They gave him some antibiotics that we will give him twice a day till they're gone. The didn't have to sedate him, as he Really liked the vet and techs there. He still hasn't eaten much but he did eat a little bit more on a different can of food I put down. It might take a day for the antibiotics to get him feeling a bit better before he's eating really good again.

 

[zima-cheryl]

It might take a day for the antibiotics to get him feeling a bit better before he's eating really good again.

Yeah, give it a day for them to kick in, then he will be feeling better. That is the great thing about antibiotics, they may need a week or so to do the full job but they make a big difference quickly. Hope he is feeling better tomorrow.

I remember how bummed my husband was when we went resort-visiting one trip to see where we would stay on our NEXT trip.... We had just stayed at The Curtis Hotel in Denver for a conference http://www.thecurtis.com/?chebs=gl_curtis and my poor husband thought that was what the Pop Century was going to be like and swore that it was going to be THE place to stay instead of the Wilderness Lodge that we fell in love with on our first trip, and be so much cheaper... I kept telling him, um, nope, look at the pictures....

How funny! The Curtis looks like "if they made Pop a deluxe".

TGIF - so anyone have plans for the 4th of July weekend?

I'm sooo excited, I am now officially "off" for the next 3 days!!
This is even better than vacation - 'casue on vacation you have to do stuff. I'm "off"... not a single obligation, appointment, to-do list or planned thing!!
DH got us a reservation at some fancy hotel for the weekend so all I have to do is show up & do nothing!
After the past 3 months I need this and am sooo looking forward to it.

Ashville looks like a cute town (he picked well) and I'm sure we will do things, but the beauty of it is everything will be spur of the moment, as we feel like it. Probably sounds kinda goofy to everyone... but I'm looking forward to the mental break.

Hope everyone else has a great weekend & Happy 4th of July! (And for our Canadian neighbors happy Independence Day a few days late!)
