In Search of my Body...Not The One I ate...#3 "Crowning Goddesses As We Go"

[AKASnowWhite]

Like Erika said, who spends $5k on a vacation and doesn't bother to spend 30 mins on the internet? To get at least a basic idea of WDW!

This stuff is readily available - it's even on the MAPS for pete's sake. Also, World Showcase - self explanatory!

Honestly! What are they thinking? I've always said that the most important thing you can take with you to Disney is KNOWLEDGE!

Love your story....and I'm really curious now..."rock me Steven"?

Lisa - TOTALLY love the Charlie Brown tree. That was awesome

Amy - congrats on finishing your shopping I've...ummm...made a list of those I need to buy for. That's a start, right?

 

[lisaviolet]

Tough crowd you guys are with the WDW people. You would hate me if you met me.

Look my friends used to call me Mary. Short for Mary Fu@kin' Poppins. And that's when I quit smoking one named me that.

 

[lisaviolet]

Liz - you were there for me this weekend. Your trip saved the weekend - Lyz said the same.

I'm going to try to put together some pictures to show you the condo. Bare with me. Crap, is it that bare?

Anyway - imagine a very small "L". Use the pictures on the wall as route markers. And pretend you are in the Amazing Race in 440 sq. feet.

We've had many family get togethers. So some are my family. Some Jean's. Which is mine as well. You know what I mean.

So I'll try to figure out a good picture route.

Wish me luck.

Lisa, Love the village. I have one, but it's not completely setup yet....

Vintage Delena from a year ago. This was her Daycare bag, she started about a year ago...

God you make cute babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. She is a doll. I can't wait for my personal Delena card.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

That is a cute baby!!! Aww. Amy, tell me what VB bags you have, style, and we can talk about options. I love this stuff.

Yes, Nancy, seriously. Like, buy a book. Read a website. LOOK at your MAP!!!

Lisa, I love when cats steal stuff. So funny to find pieces of the village around!

Erika will tell the Steven story. It cracks me up.

 

[3DisneyKids]

So the "Rock me, Steven" quote/story...SO funny.

K and I decide to do RnR Coaster in the single rider line since it will only take 5 minutes. So I end up sitting next to this total mom type from Iowa. I mean she was just, like, precious. She was wearing this pink pastel sweatshirt with little kittens on it or some such sh*t. And a little blond bob cut. And just wholesome as pie, kwim? And I am chatting with her (her husband and son were in front of us), and asked her if she had done this ride before and such.

Anyway, we are right at the point where we were about to take off and she just sort of closes her eyes and says, "Rock me, Steven." And then we shoot into the darkness of the ride and she is head banging to "Dude Looks Like a Lady." OMG, it was f'ing hilarious.

People...OMG, some people. Like, who ARE this people who spend upwards of 3K on a Disney trip and have no idea what World Showcase is???? Have they never heard of the Internet? We hated all of the stupid people. All of them.

Other fun tidbits...LIZ....now we know that Liz loves fashion and shopping, right? Well, any time Liz's energy would dip or her happiness started to flag, K and I would just send her into a store and show her some shiny things and SHAZAM she was right back up and happy and full of love and light. Shopping is 10 times more powerful for her than is caffeine. It was fun-ny.

The CM in charge of beer in England (her name was Georgia) learned to recognize us due to our frequent stops.

ToT--I screamed like a little girl. Liz and I held on to each other and screamed and swore because we were so scared. And then said how much we loved the ride.

And remember when (these stories still to come)....

--I climbed in bed with Liz?
--Kat wore a tiara?
--Liz wore hot pink sweat pants in the MK?
--Liz was actually comfortable with the temperature?
--We had transportation karma?
--I couldn't find my cell phone or my annual pass or.....?
--When I made us WALK from DHS to Epcot? Buses are for wimps.
--When we watched and illegal download of Twilight?
--We adopted Donna (Paula's sister)?
--Paula did a tequila shot with me?
--When I had sparkles all over my face?
--Liz made us do Ellen's Energy Adventure?

Oh, and this is just the beginning.

 

[amykab]

You watched an illegal download of Twilight??? WHERE????

Liz, I've got the on-the-go bag and the Betsy bag. I probably need something just a bit bigger than the Betsy. I need room for a couple diapers, wipes case and maybe a sippy or snacks...

 

[SeptemberGirl]

So the thing about me is, my body does not regulate temperature well. Amy, I'd need Jacob for sure in Eclipse. Ah, the tent. Anyhoo, enough fantasy! If I am cold, I am so uncomfortable. Hot I can deal with as long as it's not sudden. But those first hot or cold days are really uncomfortable for me. It's a hot (or cold) mess.

Also, I debate what to wear endlessly. But I felt like I should just suck it up, and not debate too much bc I know that's crazy, right? So keep this in mind.

So the first day the weather was great. Shorts, tshirts, happy happy. Brought my sweatshirt and felt good. Second day, it was 54, it said, and going to be 68. Well, 68 is warm. So long sleeve shirt and shorts should be great, right? Um, no.

It did not get warm. At all. It stayed 54. And I cannot take being cold. My body is so uncomfortable, and I do not suffer in silence. I constantly update on my status. I'm cold, I'm cold, I'm cold. If tired, I do the same. Very annoying. But it's like I can't help myself.

So after Erika wanted to throw me in the Small World and Kat wanted the crocs to eat me, I finally got sweatpants. I tried on brown ones. Yuck. I tried on black ones. Kat just about threw herself in front of those. So I ended up with hot pink Tink sweats. With flip flops. In the MK.

Yes. Oh the shame. The shame.

Thankfully, my friends could laugh at me. Because otherwise they'd kill me.

Amy, how about the Tote? It's a good size. Not too big. I'd bring your stuff to the store and try it out there. I do that all the time, move my purse into a new one to test drive it.

Twilight...IM me about it. I got the whole movie!!!

OMG. Okay, I've just spent at least a half an hour posting pictures to show you Liz. I had it perfect - from door and around. And then "poof". I'll do it again tomorrow. AHIDJFLKDJFLSDKJF:LKJF:LKSDJFL:

Kat--haven't heard from you and you didn't answer your cell yesterday...please let me know that you got in ok.

Amy--now see, that pic just does not seem like Edward to me. Way too scruffy. Edward is perfect, right?

Kat is okay, she texted us.

And yes that's more Rob than Edward...but Rob is pretty okay too.

Off to weigh in. Bad morning all around. Awful. The kind that makes you question your life. kwim? Well, off to WW and then maybe I might have to crash. As if. I so need to lose this cold, though.
