Gnomies Gone Wild

Happy Hump-Day Gnomies!!

I haven't decided for sure if we are going to do Disney next year or not -- gasp! I think we may really need a break at this point. However, if we do go, it will either be in June or December.

I vote for December. And here's why....it will give you an extra six months to really really want to go to Disney while also giving you a break from your normal summer trip.

Good Morning Gnomies!

I vote December too Jackie!!! A lot for the same reasons Leslie gave, but also because it will be cooler at that time LOL!!!!! I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that as a teacher I'm going to have to start doing trips when I'm off on school vacay...I'm thinking next year during Spring Break (hopefully early March again) LOL!

Good Morning Lovely Ladies!!!!

What did I do yesterday?!?!?!?!?! WELL, my lovely, wonderful Mom was off, so we picked her up, brought her to my house, and had a wonderful afternoon filled with her delicious egg salad for lunch, and scrapbooking/crafting for the afternoon. It was wonderful. We haven't seen each other much for the past two weeks due to both of our vacations, so we had LOTS to catch up on!!! It was a great day---topped it off with our lovely "Taco Tuesday" night for dinner, and enjoyable, romantical relaxing time with Tom last night. It really was a good day----minus the crummy issues I am running into with going back to work, but I am just going to pretend all that ugliness just didn't happen!!!!

Let's hope today is as successful for all of us!

Hey gnomies! Woke up today with a nasty sore throat....I guess that's what I get for staying up late with vampires! I went to a midnight showing of Eclipse! It was amazing! ...And I'm seeing it again tonight with other friends. None of us have to work tomorrow since it's Canada Day!

I'm not sure when I'll get to WDW again. I know I want to go to DL next August, and I think I want to do ABD for my 30th...Unless they call me for the international program, it likely wont be until 2012! Yikes!

Happy Canada Day Gnomies!

Happy Canada Day Gnomies!

Brother Bear is the cartoon on my calendar today, it made me think of you Stace being Canada day and all.

Didn't you just Eclipse?

Jackie -- I finished The Piano Teacher...I loved it right up to the end. Maybe I'm dense but I don't get what really happened! I'm so confused.

Crud -- now I can't remember what happened. Oh, now I do -- she decided to go off and do her own thing and be all independent and stuff. I think.

I was so wowed by that book -- I had no idea the Japanese ever invaded Hong Kong -- it was like an entire section of history I was completely unaware of!

They were all vague about things though in regards to the other people....I mean I think I know what they were trying to say but I was confused.

I did love love love the book up until the end. I didn't know that either, so I did enjoy the history of it.

I started The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie last night. It's grabbed me. I have to cover the receptionist desk after lunch so I will get lots and lots of reading in, I'm very excited.

Have you gone to see Eclipse yet?

There was a bit of vagueness near the end.

I adore Flavia -- I can't get enough of her. I finished the second book last week, and it was just as good. It was called The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag. I am already looking forward to the third one because Flavia just cracks me up.

We have not made it to see Eclipse yet -- did you enjoy it?

Flavia seems like a great little character. I'm excited to read more.

I did enjoy it, it's been the best movie yet. I have to be honest though...my excitement for Twilight in general has died out as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows gets closer. I really can't wait for those movies. They had a nice long trailer for it at Eclipse and it looks amazing, a lot of the scenes are just how I imagined them while reading.

We are very excited about the Deathly Hollows which reminds me that Connor and I keep meaning to watch the trailer online. I will be doing that as soon as I finish on the DIS boards this morning. We also really want to go see the HP theme park over at Universal, but Connor agreed with me that we should wait when I showed him pictures of what the crowds have looked like lately.

I really want to get over to Universal too, but I also want to wait for opening mania to die down a bit. In my head, I have Marc & I going to Disney again in January 2012, so I wouldn't mind a little Universal detour to check out Harry Potter.

That sounds like a good idea! Connor is very excited at the prospect of trying butter beer.

Hi gals,

I'm very intrigued by Harry Potter "land" too... I've heard very mixed reviews so far. I'm definitely not heading near it until things calm down.

Does anyone have any fun holiday weekend plans?

Hi, C! Sadly, there are no fun plans at the Charleston Princess house for the 4th. I am kind of bummed about that.

How about you? What are you doing for the weekend?

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Jackie, I refuse to believe there are no fun plans at your house. You are always up to something fun!

I have no plans other than enjoying the sun and catching up on my reading. I will have to go back and look over everyone's book recommendations.

I can't believe your trip is so close!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I think that's why I am a bit bummed because there is NOTHING planned. I played around with the idea of going to see the fireworks in downtown Atlanta, but I really don't think I want to deal with the traffic. Maybe I will buy some sparklers or something.

That sounds lovely. It was actually in the 70s and cloudy today! I don't know what to do with weather like that in July!

I can't believe your trip is so close!!

I can't quite believe it, either. This summer has FLOWN by!!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I think sparklers are BY FAR the best "firework." I'm not sure we can buy them in Connecticut, though. At least not legally...

Don't say the summer has flown by! It's not over yet!!

Do you think you'll be able to do any live FB updates on your trip? I personally don't have the technology but really enjoy it when Anita and others are able to update while they are there.

16 days!!! I am SO excited for you!!! Main St Electrical Parade! Promise to take it all in and report back every last detail.
