D-Day Invasion- "Strange"-ly Imminent!! TRIP REPORT IS UP!!

[All7OfUs]

How did i miss this? What is wrong with me? Ugh.
Anyway.....


I'm in!

!!!!

Ahhh, don't worry about it!! The important thing is that you're here for the rest of the party!! I miss FAR more threads than I care to admit to; they're all so good in their own way.

Please, PLEASE! I beg of you.... post often- it's what makes the whole thing fun!

 

[jordanyosh]

Sorry about the hand not bending the right way...

I saw your meal and immediately thought of the feeding of the 5000...don't ask me why.

I don't know if I want to know about the long, long day.....sounds exhausting already.....

nothing like good flower pictures...

 

[All7OfUs]

In for a little late night posting, eh??

The smoked sardines actually aren't too bad- in a picnicky sort of way...

Potential TRIP ramifications of hand injuries:

1) I'll have to ask someone to unzip my pants for me in the ladies' room.

2) Proper Dole Whip consumption ceases to exist.

3) One-handed photos will be very interesting.

4) Washing hair? Forget it.

5) Holding on with both hands would be highly unlikely.

6) One would have to pick up the entire bratwurst at Biergarten and eat it like a Neanderthal Man.

I've lost track of who I've responded to... forgive me and my addled brain!

Are you kidding?!? This is one of my favs. I didn't think I was going to like it and didn't even take the kids to see it, but Mackie forced it on me one day and I fell in love with it. The story is so true to how God want's us to live our lives, just as he made us and to not veer from our hard wiring. Goob is so cute, especially when he says baseball isn't the lazy man's sport. Sorry you didn't like it, maybe give it another shot some time, the story really is a sweet story.
Oh, and I don't think Pixar did this one, Disney made it, not Pixar Disney.

Hope your hand is feeling better.

You are right- it was a Disney flick. I am definitely willing to give it another try; sometimes movies take a few times to grow on me. The Incredibles was like that for me, and now it's one of my favorites.

I'm honestly speechless.

Nice view.

And flowers.

I posted that in a hurry, and hadn't realized I had dupie pix. Got that fixed up!!

It was unreal how many KINDS of flowers were up there!!

7 Puppies!?

Never done the puppy thing but I had gerbils growing up. They had plenty of babies. I learned the hard way that gerbil babies need to be left untouched, when the parents ate the ones that smelled like humans. I think I still carry the scar of that.

Sending you some pixie dust for your hand.

What's going to happen to your dog and all the puppies when you guys leave?

 

[carissanboys]

I love oatmeal, but the bowl of mush you posted doesn't look appetizing. I like my oats to still have life left to them!

That's a beautiful picture of you, Liesa.

Hope your hand continues to improve quickly.

She seems to consistently deliver 7 little darlings. And even she's eaten a few of her babies. I know.... sick! But I guess that's nature's way of taking care of things.

We can give the pups away at 6 weeks, and Daisy (the dog) will go to our househelper. 6 of the pups are already spoken for, so hopefully, we won't even have to put an ad in the paper this time.

I like oats in crunchy granola- especially homemade stuff!! In fact, I was planning on making sure granola and yogurts are in our breakfast stash for our trip, but more on that later.

Thanks, Carissa! My daughter (Mikki) was making fun of it today because she says I look too dressed up to be hiking. Had I known how hard of a hike it was going to be, I wouldn't have worn that shirt. But, in my defense, I had (true to form) forgotten my sweats and it was too chilly up there for shorts. So, that's what ended up on me. Ah well...

Me too. It is still quite swollen so that you know those tendons on top of your hand that you can see that run the length of it?? Well, you can't see those. It's like one of those latex jobbies in the doctors office all blown up...

 

[that's nice]

Good morning!

I have jumped 'back in the game!' Although I have not a clue what is going on.... well, that is not entirely true. I know you have puppies and was 'chomping' at the bit to get a hold of one of those little buggers. I know you were paid a visit from a higher up.. no not a chimney..or was it? I know that you had your (ahemmm) vacation (read your last update). I know you are only 3 months away from paradise!!!!

Besides that, you can be staying in Cinderella's castle for 10 days and I would have no idea. Another May/June has come and gone for me and I am pooped. I need a vacation...and have an AP that expires October 3rd! I was looking online the other night and there were rooms for Aug/Sept and some mods for $75 and values at $53. Way better than my AP rate. We have also received pin after pin- in email and snail mail too.

I 'popped' the question to Mel about possibly going in September but she doesn't have the time from work. I guess our 2 week extravaganza in March has something to do with that. Oh well, it was just a thought.

I can't promise I'll be here everyday from here on out, but my hiatus is over. I am really looking forward to hearing about your move and of course your trip. I'M BACK BABY!

Well, well, well.... looks who's climbing out of the work hole! I've have SO missed you- everyone's offered all kinds of funny, but you add some "unique" to the mix!!

I confess, I rarely have a clue about anything- but I fake it pretty well. Just pretend, ok?

Mel could always quit her job. Oh! That's not an option?? OK, well, begging sometimes works. And remember my suggestion about offering to put her up at the Poly- it'd win me over!

Every other day is good.

I think this is a compliment? Riiiggghhhhttttt????

OK! I forgot how to quote for a minute there.... don't mind me... I'm new here!

2 weeks in March 1 1/2 weeks in the summer, and a week in December. That took all her time. She could quit but then we'd never make it back to WDW!

SO where are you gonna put up her loving husband and cute daughter??????

It was.

Me too. Why do I feel like Dory??

That would be bad. Really, really bad!

WEll, I was sorta thinking like... together, ya know. And I figured out your problem... you need more puppy dog eye action. Try that.

I'm glad your hand is doing a little better.

You are made of much tougher stock than I am. I don't know how you do it, I'm in awe.

I Meet the Robinsons. It holds sentimental value to me because Marc & I watched it on our honeymoon. I get what you are saying though, certain Disney movies take a few times for me to watch until I really get into them...Incredibles was like that for me too.

 

[If U Had Wings]

Hope your hand is doing better! I'm enjoying the trip report in a bit of a perverse way. I don't think I'd be able to make it without complaining constantly.

 

[glennbo123]

Out of that whole update, the thing I most want to post is "hey, I liked 'Meet the Robinsons'!" Maybe because I thought it was going to be really bad and it exceeded my low expectations, I don't know.

Other than that, good to see that you're making the most of your stay at the sanitorium (or however it's spelled).

Another potential ramification of your hand injury could be trying to hang on for dear life if you're riding a crowded bus to/from the parks and have to stand. That could add injury to your insult of an injury.

Just wondering...did you see the chapter title idea I sent you a few days ago? I sent it right around the time you got bitten, so you may have missed it. It was "Make a new plan 'stan".

OK, it seems to be a consensus- everyone saw something in the movie I didn't. clearly, I need to see it again!! This time, maybe I need to pay attention better.

One day at a time, my friend... that's how it's done.

Voyeurism can be a fun pastime! Glad to provide some material!

Obviously, I missed somethin'. I'll give it another try...

It was amusing, at best. I was glad to escape oatmealville- or so I thought....

I can think of 1,000 more things that was be inconvienient if this had happened say, a week before the trip.

I did see them, but need to go back and review them again! THey were VERY good, if I recall- as always!

Don't mean to be coy, Roy.

Just hop on the bus, Gus. Don't need to discuss much. Just drop off the key, Lee. And get yourself free.

I'm not gonna be able to get that song out of my head today. Thankfully, I love Paul Simon.

 

[KatMark]

I'm late for the update (sorry...bad weekend).

First, I'm so glad that Timmy is back.I've missed him too.

Love the view from your room...it's better than some I've had at Disney.

7 puppies...my goodness. I drove by the Pet store the other day and they had the "adopted puppies" from the pet rescue agency outside. They had two bischons and I came awfully close to stopping to get Cookie a sister or brother (Cookie will be 13 this year); but I didn't.

I'm glad your hand is a little better and hope the swelling goes down soon.

I think Cookie definitely needs a sister or brother!! You shoulda caved.

Didn't Tim post a really bad view on the "Room view Thread'? Who was that?!!

My weekends are often completely devoid of all DISing, so no worries!

Yep, that and Kodachrome, Slip Slidin' Away, Me and Julio, Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes (from Graceland album).
