Today was going to be a relaxing day. We were going to Downtown Disney. I don't have any pictures from that day. Once again, it was a sunny day, and it was really hot. As usual, we started with the Marketplace. Actually, we didn't go to any other section that day. I started with the Art store and the memories store. They are my must-dos in DD. I was very sad when they decided to take a section of the memories store for the Hanes store. I have yet to buy a t-shirt from there. Maybe I will if we do end up doing a Christmas trip. Anywayz, I don't remember buying anything in the memories store or the art store. I may have seen a few things that I wanted to get later on. We then walked to Pantry and looked at their recipe book selection. They use to have a lot of Rachel Ray books (I LOVE Rachel Ray), but they don't really anymore. I don't remember buying anything there either. We then walked to the World of Disney, and as usual, that is where we bought most of the things we wanted. We normally go there at least twice during our trips. I don't remember everything we bought, but I do remember that my mom and I bought gifts for my friend Hope, and for her new little boy. We got all of our gifts shipped to the resort, and decided to go try Pollo Campero. I had a chicken sandwich while my mom had a salad. I also remember getting a vegan cupcake. I really liked my meal. My mom says hers was ok. I would definitetly go there again. The place was packed though, but we did end up finding a spot that was somewhat quiet. After that, we walked back towards the Disney store and went to Trendy. We tried on a few things, and I bought a shirt. Then my mom went for a smoking break and I visited Once Upon a toy and the Pin store. It was now late afternoon, and we decided to make our way out of the store. But before we did, we had to stop at the Christmas store. Christmas is our very favorite holiday. We love it and love decorating for it. So we love to get our holiday fix. Around dinner time, we made our way back to the hotel. We chilled around the hotel, got something to eat at the Contempo Cafe, and watched the Electrical Water Pageant. It seemed to have been a quiet day, but I don't really remember having a quiet day during that holiday. It is only an illusion hehe

This day we decided to go see our good neighboors of Main Street USA. After all, it is our favorite street in the whole world. This summer it seems they decided to add a parade to the schedule. There was one around noon, and one at 3pm. And some characters were in the noon parade that were not in the 3pm one. Did anyone else see that? For example, I saw Bert in the noon parade, but not in the 3pm parade. Anywayz, as we walked in the park, the first parade was going on. Yes, we were having a lazy morning. We left the hotel rather late. hehehe

Now that day I was wearing my red queen t-shirt. I showed it to her (the queen) and she came and interacted with me. We had a "conversation" about how the queen on my t-shirt was not her, and we also liked her. But the queen in front of me was the number 1 queen. She then gave me a quick embrace and moved on. And the nerd I am loved it. Which is why I still remember every detail of that encounter lol
You gotta love the stepsisters!

We keep saying how we wish we could be going back to the Contemporary this year. But my mom and I have been spoiled, and we are trying to realize that if we want to go back for Christmas too, then we have to go to POR. So we are trying to get that into our minds. But we have been spoiled with the proximity of the Magic Kingdom, our favorite park of all.
Thank you. I love taking pictures. I need to find a lot of cheap frames (that look good) to put them around my appartment, to help me feel the wdw spirit when I'm not feeling so good
Thank you for joining in!
Yep, we do live close by. I'm on the south shore

Hey everyone.
Just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive.
The workshop went well. The first one was not the best. But I have to keep reminding myself that I had never given a workshop to a group of teachers. And teachers are sometimes the worst students. That first group ended up being a bit impatient and rude. I was really sad that first night. I thought it was a complete failure. Then, on saturday, I gave my second worshop and it was awesome. I had fun and the teachers were great.
But I am definetly tired right now. I may have burnt the candle at both ends a bit. I need to rest. At least there's 18 days until Christmas vacations hehe
Also, I've been harassed by phone by this number: 1-866-912- 9285. They say I signed up somewhere for a free 1 day ticket to Universal Studios. Which I never did. Told them 3 times that I didn't want it and to stop calling me. Well they are still calling. I don't answer anymore. I've seen reports online of other people having the same problem. It's annoying, but thank goodness for caller id.
I will try to update soon. Although I have a busy schedule. Other than work I am going to try Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Montreal on December 6, on December 9 I have a dinner with my old colleagues, and on December 16 its the teachers Christmas party. I also have an exam on December 10, and a take-home exam to bring back for December 19. I also want to go to the huge crafts fair in Montreal and decorate for Christmas and do my Christmas shopping.
At least, I know I'll get to Christmas at the same time as everyone.
I hope you are doing well!
See ya real soon!

I like your parade pics! We actually watched that one for the first time last month! I don't know how we've always missed it before. We had some great character interaction during it too.
Sorry your first workshop didn't go well, people are so rude sometimes! Thankfully the 2nd one worked out much better. I'm sure you did a great job!

I'm glad the second workshop went so well!
I don't know if you are following my trip report or not. I haven't been spending much time on the Dis these past two weeks so I don't remember... But the link is in my signature if you are interested.

Thanks. I love that parade. I'm a bit sad though that the second Tiana pack didn't really turn out. It would have been awesome. I love her. She's a cute girl.
Yes, some people are just plain rude and are kind of wanting to prove themselves. Like: "Oh I can do that better than her" you know. But my point wasn't to prove I was any better than anyone. It was just to show a technique.
Plus I was sent e-mail by a lot of the participants thanking me. And one even said she'd like a sequel to it. Like now that you learned this technique, let me help you create a work of art with it. I'll think about it.

It's something I always thought sounded nice in theory, but in reality I'm not sure I'd eat enough of the desserts to really warrant the price. And since neither DH nor his daughter are big on sweets, it would probably not be worth it for us. However, if I had a larger appetite, I would love to do it! Not sure how much help I was right here.
