Don't Mess With My Toot Toot!! A Wigd and gang TR/PTR Upd: 12/7 pg.60 Going WILD!

[Happydog]

Can't wait to hear about the next part of your trip! Sounds like cape may did NOT disappoint! YUM!!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Gosh, I really dislike reading all of this talk about MNSSHP!!! And BLUEZOO!!! Geeze, I may have to con my own way into this trip, too.... JUST saying, wishful thinking, but just saying!!!

I need a roommate HD.........just sayin'............

 

[jenjolt]

WOOT WOOT!!! I see some serious enabling occurring above LOL!!! I say go for it Jen but I'm bias and WOULD LOVE to see you again!!!

Well I thought I would do a very brief NON-Disney update LOL (am I allowed to do that LOL).

So day 1 of the conference was AAHHHHHMMMMAAAZZZZINGGG!!! I referenced Big Bang Theory and HM at least twice and I learned so much! I really want to take our department more into inquiry based labs and really make the kids become scientists and this conference REALLY has embraced that for me! Of course playing in the lab all day doesn't hurt either LOL!!!! I got to wear my spiffy lab coat too WOOT WOOT!!!!

In the evening I got my shop on!!! I found an IKEA, a mall with a Target (who knew they did that), and crashed after a most delight text messaging convo with Anita!!!!

Speaking of that wonderful woman, I may have heard that Marc had to use Visa customer service to locate her yesterday, something about lost in a mall?!?!? Well I hate to break it to Marc, but he must have been the one lost, no woman is EVER lost in a Mall LOL!!! (Love you Marc ) I think I may have even seen a picture of a Disney store but I can't confirm or deny that LOL!!! I can confirm though that the BEST pizza ever was consumed and I even noticed they had some amazing decor (KU Jayhawk sign) so I'm ready to eat there someday!!!!!! I wonder if we can get them to share with us what the plans are today?

All in All I know that both of us are having a great time!! I'm going to have some yummy faitjas and visit the Natural History Museum tonight and I have no idea but I'm sure fun will be had in the Chicago area!!

Well off to breakfast and then to conquer Houston traffic (all in all I have decided to NEVER live in the middle of a big city, outskirts are great, downtown NOPE)!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!!

 

[momof2TNboys]

Glad you are having a great time at your conference!
I hope that Wigd and Shocker are having a blast too!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Ugggg, Houston traffic is the worst! I'm always a nervous wreck driving down there.

Sounds like your conference is going really well. Your students are very lucky to have a teacher who is as passionate about what she does as you are

 

[DWGal210]

Sounds like you're having a great time!! Have another great day!!

 

[pooh'smate]

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun at your conference. I am planning a trip (by myself) to Disney in October too and our trips will overlap. We will have to plan a meet.

 

[MEK]

Sounds like you are having a great time at the conference. It's always nice to get inspired to do your job better.

My local mall has a Target in it now. Target took over some store that went out of business. I thought it was strange, too, but apparently it works. People can do their upscale, over priced shopping and then go to Target and feel like they got a bargain. Less guilt, perhaps!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

It was a giant mall!!!! Disney outlet!!! Baylor's back to school shopping is practically done between A&F and Nike outlets! Gap outlet for Hunter! A few other things were purchased too. The car is filling....Oh Harper was the Disney outlet girl!

 

[mousescrapper]

Jen glad your conference is going so well

and was this up in Gurnee? we have some pretty good (but dangerous...as in shopping $$) outlet malls inthe Chicago area

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Yes, Gurnee! We are here until Saturday if you have time for a meet! Heading downtown now!

 

[Native NYer]

Glad you're having a great conference!
Can't wait to read more. Now that school is over, I have time for the DIS again.

I need a roommate HD.........just sayin'............

WOOT WOOT!!! I see some serious enabling occurring above LOL!!! I say go for it Jen but I'm bias and WOULD LOVE to see you again!!!

I got the signal and the nudge and the arm twist, trust me!!! LOL! Let me do a little more exploring and number crunching with you all, who knows... we'll SEE. Gotta get the ultimate blessing of course... That man who does the finances... maybe asking to go on another Disney vacation SOLO, in the MIDDLE of another one isn't the BEST strategy... so give me a few days!!!!

 

[Megablocks]

I'm going to forgive you for being a Boston Bruins fan LOL We only love the Red Wings in this house!! However I was rooting for Thomas all the way and was glad the cup was in the USA!!!! You guys have quite the layout for a dynasty!!!

Thanks for the well wishes on my hubby's job! We are very excited! So excited in fact that with his first paycheck we will be making an offer on the first DVC resale contract that works for us!!! WOOT WOOT!!

Even non-seafood people can find some really great stuff on the buffet, so you guys should consider it some time!!!

I'm glad we can still be friends even if I root for the "other" team! I was so proud of Thomas, he gives me a massive heart attack all of the time with the way he wanders out of the net but I was SO happy with the way he played!

That is SO exciting about DVC, I swear that if I ever get to own DVC, my home resort will be Beach Club...that is my dream resort

We definitely will consider it sometime. My dad is allergic to shrimp and lobster, but he LOVES seafood and I think Cape May would be right up his alley

Do you know what this news gets...........

Double WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!!

I'd love love love love to meet up with you!!! Let's make a plan!!!

I don't know, it very well might be possible to get lost at Gurnee. If not the mall, certainly that parking lot!

So glad you are having so much fun at your conference!

Well off to breakfast and then to conquer Houston traffic (all in all I have decided to NEVER live in the middle of a big city, outskirts are great, downtown NOPE)!!!

I totally hear you on this. I love Boston but I could never in a million years live there, I am just fine living outside the city and being a very short train ride away!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Timing is everything! It's best to make sure that they've had a couple of drinks and are in a really good mood before bringing up the subject, just a few wise words from the wife of a resister.

OR you could just have Anita ask for you, that's what I did..........

 

[LookinUp]

I totally hear you on this. I love Boston but I could never in a million years live there, I am just fine living outside the city and being a very short train ride away!

Me three. I loved my harbor-view apartment in Chicago, but the traffic and constant crowds were too much. Now I love taking the train in for ballgames, concerts and tonight, Taste of Chicago. YUM!

Jen, I'm so excited for you, getting so much out of this conference. Your students certainly are lucky!

 

[*dreamit*doit*]

I'm in! Enjoyed following along with Anita's pics on fb - now can't wait to hear the stories behind them!!
