Hucifer does the solo thing sort of. Alone and going home, 9/21

[Tinkerbellarella]

I DOES feel good to be home. I agree.

 

[hucifer]

Well, I don't suppose I could BE much later to the party.

Ashie!!!! Hey baby! I'm glad you found me, eleventh hour or not.

It has, no lie, taken me over a month (maybe 3) to read this whole report, and it was a wonderful ride! You always make me laugh, Hucifer, and this TR was no exception. It was also wonderful to see so many of Lou's witticisms. I miss him. I also got a kick out of Glenn, Marv, Peter, and Amy's posts, along with others. What fun! (And what a list of new TRs I now have to check out.....)

As always, my trip reports are nothing without these folks and their oh-so-witty replies. Truly hilarious people...and awesome trip reports. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Thank you so much for sharing this story of your solo trip. I'm not sure I could ever get up the nerve to do one (unless it went along with some sort of conference, I suppose), but it was fun to hear your perspectives and get a feel for what it might be like to try it out.

It was a blast! Well, it was fun for every day but the last. It was something I've been wanting to do for a long time now, and I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to do so. Thanks to my amazing boss, the opportunity came up. (Thanks Timmy!)

Your Patrick is just the CUTEST. That last photo killed me, dead. And brought tears to my eyes. Not sure how both can happen simultaneously, but, well, they did.

Aww, thanks Ash. Yeah, Dan and I are so in love with our little guy. He is SUCH a character, OMG. Not that this is surprising to anyone, I'm sure.

Thanks again for the great story. I will be looking for your next one in a couple of years!!

Thanks for posting! I'm so happy you made it!

Beverly Hills Cop? Who starred in that....Charlie Chaplin? I vaguely remember having a hard time concentrating on the movie subtitles because the theater's piano player plunking out the background music kept distracting me...so I guess I missed that part.

By the way....you know I hate being wrong.....and yet you continue to point it out.

hellloooooo.

I was shocked that you threw an awesome 80's movie quote at me, I swung at it, hit a home run, and then you just stood there and stared at me like I had two heads. It was disappointing, to be honest.

Sorry about mixing all those metaphors. But that pretty much summed up what transpired between us. I guess we can't ALWAYS connect, which is sort of depressing to me.

And...I take it that we are NOT to expect a trip report from you? Sigh.

That was pretty good. And I'm flattered you went through all that trouble to make up quotes attributed to me but if you wanted me to post you just should have asked.

OMG!!! You freaking crack me up!!!

Ah, Louie. It's good to see you here. I love you, man.

Dear, dear Wendy. I am so very sad this roller coaster ride is coming to an end! It has been so much fun tagging along and trying to keep you humble all at the same time! I am going to miss our frequent (well, not so much towards the end with your mysterious disappearance, but....) discourse.

Yes, you did a great job of keeping me humble. Or trying to, at least. And I look forward to seeing YOUR trip report. Do me a favor and drop me a PM when you get the thing started. I want to get in on it from the very beginning. And no, I'm not reading your pre-TR.

Oh well, I guess the Goddess of Trucking has put down her bejeweled crown and resumed her role as Domestic Goddess! Even I was touched by this display of affection from one so innocent! Such a little genius mastering his writing and artistic skills while Mommy was away! And for that, the rest of us are so very thankful!

Yep, I had to hang up my Trucking Princess hat for good.
Then again, I'm back to being Mommy again. And that's all good.

OK, before you go, I have a favor to ask -- can you tell me how to do the quotes that embed quotes from other people? Like, when you're quoting someone quoting someone else? Something like this (just imagine the DIS formatting here), like in your Loubon response above:

Quoting hucifer:
Quoting you: blah blah blah blah blah
Hilarious response to blah blah blah blah blah!

It's like Amy said above...I copied Lou's comments, pasted them in a reply, highlighted the text, and hit the Wrap Quotes button. Does that answer your question? I hope it did.

I can only figure out how to do it manually, copying the original quotes and stuff...is there an easier way?

No ma'am. That's why I kept complaining about it.

Yes, it is very strange. Strange and wonderful. How long will it take before it becomes de rigueur, and doesn't make me happy every time? (I'm hoping for a long time, but hey, I'm realistic)

I gotta be honest...it's STILL kind of weird calling Dan my husband...and it's been 11 years! As for the happy thing...yeah, that will probably wear off a little.

Harumph. I guess we have no choice but to be supportive of this crazy Disney-free time in your life.

There's always living it through other people's TRs, I suppose.

Hey, now it's just big boned.

Your purse is very sensitive. Like Pooh. Maybe it's time for an intervention.

Of course you do. Duh! Patrick.

He's worth the visit.

Right back at ya, Wendy! What time should I stop by to kidnap you all?

Our schedule's open.

HE'S ALIIIVVVEE!!!! It's nice to see you back, Lou!

I know...I totally flipped out when I saw that. He never ceases to amaze me, that Lou.

Not really, it's a WHOLE lotta cutting and pasting! Lou sends everything in one big email so I just cut and pasted the entire email and added the quotes. I wouldn't do it for just anybody, mind, but I just can't keep all of Lou's wittiness to myself. That just wouldn't be fair to the rest of the DIS boards, now, would it?

What she said.

I DOES feel good to be home. I agree.

Actually...there's no place like family. It doesn't have to be home. It just has to be with THEM.

 

[hucifer]

Jeez...I just realized that I started this TR back in December of 2009. Whoops.

I feel like I owe everyone an apology for dragging this out.

Jeez...I just realized that I started this TR back in December of 2009. Whoops.

I feel like I owe everyone an apology for dragging this out.

Hey, I love a woman who can drag out a trip report on one week of truck driving school for NINE MONTHS!! Since it will be awhile before we get another one, I'm glad that this one has lasted as long as it has.

 

[marvali]

And I look forward to seeing YOUR trip report. Do me a favor and drop me a PM when you get the thing started. I want to get in on it from the very beginning.

Only if you promise to wear your scarf to the reunion!

And no, I'm not reading your pre-TR.

Yeah, I noticed the snub!

Jeez...I just realized that I started this TR back in December of 2009. Whoops.

I feel like I owe everyone an apology for dragging this out.

Why is it that women always insist on dragging things out for 9 months???

 

[PrincessV]

Jeez...I just realized that I started this TR back in December of 2009. Whoops.

Nope, not even remotely. It's been FUN!

First of all...I had no idea you were so good at baseball.

and B....I don't think a scarf qualifies as a regulation uniform...so that might explain the stares.

y tres....now my daughter is demanding a trip report....and I'm not sure how you got to her....but I'm not happy about it.

 

[NMAmy]

y tres....now my daughter is demanding a trip report....and I'm not sure how you got to her....but I'm not happy about it.

I knew I liked that kid. When she talks you into starting it, would you send me a message? I don't want to miss the whole thing again this time.

 

[njtinkmom]

Well I guess better late than never now applies... I just found your tr and spent the last 2 days doing lol's at work (I know - my bad) while my coworkers thought I was cracking up- never have I been so giddy over doing my job! Anyway you are one talented lady and I don't care if you write about your trip to the bathroom (oh wait you did that - with photographic evidence!) but you NEED to continue to write about something, at least once a day - like a vitamin, pleaseeeeeee!

It takes mad skillz I tell ya. I got em.

Only if you promise to wear your scarf to the reunion!

Done.

Yeah, I noticed the snub!

Pre trippies demand a LOT of time. That's something I don't have.

Why is it that women always insist on dragging things out for 9 months???

It comes so naturally, really.

Nope, not even remotely. It's been FUN!

Thanks girl.

What V said.

Thanks boy.

First of all...I had no idea you were so good at baseball.

[looks down at ground, pokes toe at pebble, giggles]

and B....I don't think a scarf qualifies as a regulation uniform...so that might explain the stares.

I thought it was my stunningly good looks.

y tres....now my daughter is demanding a trip report....and I'm not sure how you got to her....but I'm not happy about it.

At least I did something right. Smart girl!

...Hey, I didn't know you spoke Japanese. Impressive!

I knew I liked that kid. When she talks you into starting it, would you send me a message? I don't want to miss the whole thing again this time.

Welcome njtinkmom! Better eleventh hour than not at all I always say. Actually, I don't say that a whole lot. But welcome just the same! Thank you so much for your kind words. I love to write, and this place is a great outlet for that. I have an audience and everything.

If you have a yearning for more good writing, check out the folks who replied to this thread all along -- they write some awesome reports themselves!

 

[Eastern]

um, wow, that was a trip report

 

[jeffrent]

You've made my night with your epic retelling! I love it!

 

[A&Bmama]

I'm sure you know i enjoyed your TR but I just gotta say this.

BEST TR EVER!!!!!!!!

I hope you go back soon. I want to hear all about it.
