Does Pixie Dust Help with Decision-Making? A 2012 PTR! NEW! 6/30 pg.85

Ugh, Jackie, I am so behind!! I need to have them unblock the DIS at work because I'd never be behind on anyones TRs then lol

It's cold here today so daydreaming of the warm sunshine in Italy sounds divine. In July, if you could send me up a cup of gelato, that'd be wonderful too. Thanks :thumbsup2 :lmao:
 


I have never met a cupcake I didn't like:

And I feel like this was aptly named -- the American Dream -- it has certainly played a large role lately in my daydreams -- softserve ice cream and slushie stuff. Yum!!!

I can't wait to see them all in person! Makes me want to sing, "You're a Grand Old Flag" just looking at the pictures!

Um......I will take both of those please! :)
 
Whenever life gets unpleasant I always resort to some "Disney Dreaming". It really helps calm me down and pass some unpleasant time.

Desert helps too!

I read this and then tried to "like" it...then I realized I'm on dis not facebook.
 
Happy Saturday, Jackie! Hope you get to enjoy some down time and do something fun. Work just gets in the way of that too much Monday through Friday. :sad2:

We had snow yesterday toward the end of the school day. It didn't stick, of course, but the kids were excited to see it falling. What about you guys? Did winter find its way to you?
 
Hey Jackie,
I hope this weekend finds you able to relax and enjoy some down time!!! Things have been super crazy around here as we start setting up tutorial times for our EOC courses!! (I'm sitting in my room right now with students). I'm happily thinking about sitting in Italy with you enjoying one of those gelato creations!!!!!!
 
Have you read my trip report from Chelsea's thirteenth birthday? That was mid-July and really, heat and crowds aside, it was one of our favorite trips. I think the link is still in my signature -- something about a pixie-dusted birthday.
I had not read it but just opened it in another window to read. thanks! I can't believe I am only making it back to your TR now from Christmas! Life truly gets hectic!


This week we hit our 180-day mark, and you know what that means.

YAY for Disney landmarks & making ADRs! Your ressies sound good. I have only eaten at TRex before. Are you doing the DDP??

Here is this year’s beauty…

I want to find some fireworks stickers to put around the edges, but I haven’t made it to Hobby Lobby yet.

Cute binder! I haven't even started mine yet but usually I do my binder after I am sure I am done changing things:lmao:

I found this picture of gelato frizzantes. Yum! They look like the perfect summer dessert.

Both of those photos look great! I don't think I've ever even stopped at Via Napoli. sounds like a new destination, right?
Your Ohana pics make me want to do dinner there as well, but we will only get to Kona this trip. Ohana has characters, right? Is this where Lilo & Stitch are? I need to save that one for when Katie is with us.


Your ADR's look great!

We enjoyed TRex. We were in the Ice room and it is very cool, it changes colors. There is even a meteor shower. Be prepared, it's very loud but a lot of fun.
So funny how very different your perspective is than mine. the food was good though, but I did not enjoy the lighting changes or the volume in the ice room. Though in retrospect I must have been really really tired this night -- my DH and SIL still laugh and joke about how I literally passed out 30 seconds after we got into our rooms, still fully dressed and sprawled across almost the whole bed! :rotfl2: Poor DH did not know if he should wake me or not but opted to let sleeping bears OH I mean SLeeping Beauties of course ...lie.


In the meantime, I have to go write a paper on what I teach and why I teach it. Maybe, I can throw in a Disney quote somewhere. :laughing:
Wow that's a lot of kids trying out for soccer! what age level??

FOr sure Walt has some good quotes - I hope you managed to work one in!




And I would have to say I would like to order one of everything from the gelato stand menu.

Especially this beauty.

Here's another angle (gotta love the Disney Food Blog).

Your frozen treats look yummy but as I sit in my office with the space heater on, and my Disney sweatshirt all the way down over my fingers, they are making me feel really really cold!!:rotfl:(and hungry for that primavera!)

SO we know where you're eating, where are you playing?popcorn::
 
Hi, everyone! I promise I am still alive and still have a trip planned. :laughing: Can you believe it has been twelve days since I logged onto the DIS! :scared1: That makes me so sad! However, we have the next four days off, so I definitely plan to do replies and write a new update! I am so looking forward to some downtime here at home!
 
Hi Jackie!
Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of Disney planning? :rotfl:
This point in the school year always seems extra busy. I hope the next 4 days are relaxing!
 
12 days is a long time. Did you go into withdrawal?

Glad you have a 4 day weekend to relax and catch up on things. I hope its a wonderful weekend for you and the family! :goodvibes

Is Connor feeling better?
 
Enjoy your four days off from school, Jackie! Hopefully you'll get to do some Disney planning! :)
 
Hi Jackie. I am always daydreaming about Disney. (Mostly at work)! Sometimes I will be waiting on a customer & a certain park comes to mind or I will picture walking down Main St. or walking around AK. I wonder if I am the only one that does this??:rolleyes1

Anyway I hope things calm down for you. I am also a home body (very much so) so I know what you mean. If I do not have to go anyplace on the weekend my vehicle is parked in my garage from Fri. night until Mon. morning. That is unusual though as long as Cody plays indoor soccer which is always on Saturdays.

.
:lmao::lmao::lmao:this is me too! i probably DIS more at work than at home:eek:

Almost every day when I walk the dog I think "oh this would be a good day to fly to Disney" or "I wonder what I would do if I were at Disney today?":lmao:
 
Yay! Jackie gets some DIS time! Enjoy your time off, get some rest and come and play!!!
 
Hope you enjoy some time to rest, Jackie! I know it's hard to be working and going to school as well as all of the family activities and trying to keep up with the house too.

Disney dreaming on a cold afternoon is Winter Survival at it's best! I find myself dreaming of Disney more than Hawaii, which I will be visiting in 2 weeks! :rotfl2:
 
I can really, really relate to being a homebody. I hate being away from my home for long periods. Hang in there Jackie. :hug:
