Is Grandma a Princess or a Pirate? UPDATE 9/28! The Last Suppah! PICS!! Pg. 69!

:rotfl2: Hilarious! Glad that the dogs are both okay and :cool1: for getting the number of the cute vet.

Score for me! :teeth:

I said it on TFW but OMG Jen what a night :rotfl2: You couldn't make up better stuff than that :lmao:

Why would I exaggerate about my life. This is really how it is...:lmao:

So, when are you calling Mr. Cutie Vet? :banana:

He texted me telling me he would call after he woke up this afternoon. That's a good sign...;)

Alright, I came here first. Lets see how fast I can read 33 pages! :goodvibes

I have links Parla! Just for you! ::yes::

:lmao: again! Sorry Jen!

I'm glad I can entertain you all! :rotfl:

OMG, Jen. Firstly, the update was fantastic. :thumbsup2 I think the duck is going to eat your shoes. :confused3 :rotfl:

Ummmmm...no, the duck would've died.

Have you gone to your interview yet :confused3

::yes:: It went really good.

And for the record I don't think you deserve it;)

Awwwww....thanks!
 

Wednesday, May 28th…

The motha had made me set the alarm for 7:00 in the AM on this day. So she could drag her crazy booty outta bed and go work-out. Before Epcot. Before the heat. Before our long day.

the phone rang and I reached over with a large groan…picked up the receiver and slammed it back down. Something was foreboding…I didn’t need happy voices on this morning.

The motha of course…slept through her own wakey call. I threw back the covers, walked over to her “good and cushy bed”, and nudged her and she woke not. I nudged her again and she woke not. Hmmmmm…her wake-up call for her obsessive exercising…and I’m the only one up? This ain’t fair! :sad2:

“Mom,” I whispered next to her ear…”Carbs!”

She bolted upright and jumped outta bed. I know my motha too well.

I snickered as I watched her get ready for her work-out. How obsessive do you have to be to work-out BEFORE walking 10,000 miles, in the parks, in the 140 degree heat? Whatever keeps her voices quiet works for me!

:scared1: She's nuts! I hope she doesn't drag you down later on in Epcot. And I hope she learns her lesson and keeps away from the gym the rest of the trip! ::yes::

I rolled back over and went back to sleep. And I didn’t feel guilty one bit for burning calories lying down neither. Hmmmmph....:snooty:

I did get up around 8:00 and got myself ready. But the chilluns’ were not stirring. Not even a bit.

Picture1114.jpg


Picture1115.jpg


Hmmmm…since talk o’ carbs didn’t affect them like it do pirate gramma…what could I do to rouse the troops?

I was gonna yell “Fiiiiirrrreeee!” but decided against it as I was afraid Mr. Stinks-a-lot from next door and one of his wives may have come blasting outta their room nekkid or sumthin equally as awful!

So, I did the next best thing…

I turned on (sorry Disney Channel) Doodle Bops…and blared it loud. Heh heh. Momma knows how to wake the sleeping lumps. Every time they protested…I kicked it up another notch. Until me and the weird 4-fingered band kids were rockin’ out hard core. Lexie and Jon finally stirred.

I grabbed the kidlets breakfast just as the motha came back from her carb attack work-out fest. She thoroughly enjoyed the gym…she gave it a gold star…or a 4-grade black spandex…whatever scale she rates gyms on these days.

:lmao: SPANDEX!

I got the kids dressed and ready while the motha hosed herself off. Just as we were about to leave…I had a visitor knocking loudly on my door…

I didn’t want to answer this door though. As I knew who it was. It was my dear friend Phillameana M. Snipey…otherwise known as P.M.S. Today…would be a wonderful day. I could feel my fangs growing longer by the minute. Yay for me…and anyone who got in my way.

We were out to the buses by about 9:45…and by we, I mean, me, Jon, the motha, Lexie, and Phillameana. We got to Epcot at about 10:15. Not too bad for a sleepin’ in morning. Not in my book anyways!

Picture1119.jpg


We headed straight for Nemo…one of Jon’s favs…

Notice how happy the chilluns’ look after I blasted them awake this fine morning. Heh heh.

Picture1120.jpg


Just for your own knowledge…my face probably looked the same.

I tried threatening them with repeated rides on Figment…but that still didn’t make them smile.

I found out when our trip was over that my motha was taking pictures on Nemo. I couldn’t believe that they actually turned out?!?!? Are you supposed to take pics on Nemo????

Picture252-1.jpg


Whoa…momma musta been drunk when she took that Crush pic. I’m JK people…the motha doesn’t drink. She’s far too uptight for that! ;)

From Nemo we headed straight to Turtle Talk. I knew Lexie would loooove this show.

But dang kids. Quit the pushin’ and shovin’ to get into the show! It ain’t that important okay? :flower3:

The show, was of course, cute as can be. EXCEPT…the jokes were the same. From a year ago. Let’s flip the script people. Please. There are Disney fanatics that return year after year…and we need some new material. Momma needs a new pair o’ shoes…k? :confused3

After TT, we decided to explore the magic of The Seas. We have never looked around here before. (ducking while you throw rotten fish) I know…I know…I had no idea. That anything even existed. Beyond all of the animated sea creatures.

We walked around and caught some good pics of neat fish (there is no such thing as fishes), coral, and even a dolphin!

Let’s all oooooh and ahhhhh over the sea life kids. Don’t pollute the oceans. Seriously.

Picture1122.jpg


Was that a little bit of a letdown? I guess I only loaded 3 of those pictures. Heh heh.

After we walked through the aquariums…I walked us around to a group of people standing looking over something. I couldn’t tell what everyone was staring at. Hey…I admit it…I’m a sheep.

We happened upon a little manatee pool. And when I say LITTLE…I mean freakin’ little. Pool little manatee. :sad2:

BUT…we walked up at just the right time.

CM: “Hey kids…would you like to feed the manatees??”
Lexie and Jon: “Sure manatee man!”

Which basically meant…Jon and Lexie got to hurl lettuce at the poor little manatee in his little bitty pool. Good times…good times.

CopyofPicture262.jpg


After feeding Mr. Manatee, the chilluns, the mother, myself, and Phillameana schlepped over to The Land.

Jon and I headed straight for Soarin’! Lexie was too little for this ride…BOOOOOOO! But, I needed some wind in my hair…to get the meanies out!

Jon and I scored row 1…for the 2nd year in a row! Yea baybee! :cool1:

We walked out and met the motha…and walked over to another ride we had never done before…

“Living With the Land”…otherwise known as Yawn City. Sorry for any fans out there. I looked over in the middle of the ride…and Jon had checked out. As in…he was falling asleep! The people listening to the “script” were none too happy as I started to guffaw and belly laugh at my little sleeping man. I got a “shush” from the galley. Whatever.

I smell a Lapu!

Picture1132.jpg


I wanna grow one of these myself…

Picture1134.jpg


OMWord! That was boring. I would equate it with Ellen…but not as good napping potential due to the shortness of the ride!

From Yawn City…we headed over to eat. At Sunshine Seasons! We had to do the hover and swoop here…just like the other day at Cosmic Ray’s. What is it with people not leaving me a place to sit??? :confused3

And for the record…the motha had the vegetable panini…full o’ carbs. Irony is not lost on me friends.

All I cared about was my Diet Coke…

***Which brings me to an aside…is it BAD to get a headache after not drinking a diet coke for a day? What do they put in those suckers anyways that makes them so gosh dern addicting? Crack? M&M’s? Morphine with a hint o’ Pirate Orlando? Hook me up to the drip dudes…supplemented with some pina colada just for an occasional break.

Anywhoodles…after lunch, we headed straight over to what has got to be the strangest ride in all of WDW…Figment. Ummmm…yea…feel free to throw your vote in here…but that “ride”…was weird. And will be a no-go for us in the future. If I’m sober anyway. I just didn’t “get it.” Sorta like that time my Uncle Chip walked around the western store in his khaki shorts, hot pink felt cowboy hat, and red alligator boots yelling, “Hey GIRLFRIEND!” I didn’t get that either. ;)

By now…it was nearing 1:30. And it was hot. And Phillameana kept tapping me on the shoulder to remind me that she was still, hopelessly, utterly ever-present.

We were done with all of Future World that we wanted to partake of. I could taste the AC now.

But nooooooo. SOMEONE (the motha) wanted to look at the “pretty buildings” over in World Showcase. I tried to be agreeable…I really did. I only had one plan. Get. Done. Fast.

We decided to enter through Canada, eh? It was aboot one million degrees by this time…and Jen needed a sit.

Did I neglect to say that it was Flower and Garden Festival this week? Well…it sure was! Well, hot dog people! Color me allergy redish pink! (those pics coming in another update)

Just as were aboot to enter Canada eh…we happened upon a little booth with “dormant” flowers…otherwise known as expensive sticks. Well, my motha just hadta stop! If there’s something she loves more than working out…it’s gardening. Because you burn calories when you sweat in the sun!

So, Jen, Jon, and the Lex-meister popped a little sit on a bench. And that’s when it happened for the FIRST time this trip…

Here’s a hint…

Picture1139.jpg


Any guesses or prophesies???

Up Next: Ow…Me and My Caballeros!

I loved your description of PMS! :rotfl:
I practically plan my vacations around mine! (with BC I can tell exactly when it's going to happen :thumbsup2 )

a few boring rides huh ;)

I like Living with the Land. It's relaxing. and air conditioned. And I like the Mickey pumpkin.

You SO made me thirsty with the pineapple picture and mention of a Lapu Lapu!

Great update. Your motha is hilarious!

I think the duck got your toes.
 
I forgot to mention that my kids would not like to get woken up by the Doodlebops either. :lmao: When I accidentaly turn the show on when I'm looking for something for the kids to watch, DS screams, "Ahh! My eyes!!! My eyes!" :rotfl2: He's one funny guy!

:rotfl: isn't he 5? That's cute!

When I have an interview in the morning?

Let me share what happened tonight with you. Just to break up the monotony of this TR...and to give you a little laughy-poo...

I brought my little bitty 3 pound chihuahua here to Albuquerque with me. She was acting fine tonight...when all of a sudden...she started screaming. Like a baby. Yes, screaming. I couldn't touch her...I couldn't hold her. She kept screaming. and then...she stopped walking. She couldn't get up and walk, or jump down from the couch or the bed. And she is only a baby. Just a little thing.

So, at 9:30 tonight, Jon and I loaded up little Kinzee Faith to go to the emergency vet.

We get there...and I swear to you...it was a miraculous recovery. The vet said that chihuahuas feign injuries a lot...basically...she's a liar liar pants on fire. She was fine. They gave us motrin and sent us on our way.

Now...I'm housesitting for my mother's dogs right now while she and my step-dad are away.

I get home from the vet at 10:45 or so.

I cart Jon off to bed...along with dear little faker Kinzee Faith.

I walk into the kitchen...and notice...an empty bag of torn apart chocolate chip cookies on the floor.

And I knew what had happened. My mother's dog ate a whole bag of chips ahoy.

So, I call my brother, and have him come sit with Jon so that Jon can at least get a few winks of sleep tonight.

And I am once again...off to the emergency vet.

I walk in and the ladies in the front begin to laugh...not only because I am back..but because my mother's dog has done this several times before.

So, they immediately take cookie monster Cori to the back and make her "rid herself" of the cookies.

I wait for her in the room...

As soon as the vet walks into the exam room...he looks straight at me...his jaw drops open...and he begins to laugh.

I said, "Yes, it's me again. The one who has a chihuahua who fakes injuries and a 3 legged dog (my mom's dog only has 3 legs) who can open cookie packages."

Long story short, both Kinzee (the faker) and Cori (the cookie hound) are going to live...$300 later.

As I was leaving...and this is the best part...the vet slips me his card with his number on it. Apparently, he finds me hilarious and cute. So, there was an upside to the night.

Now...good-night. I'm off to sleep some before my interview tomorrow. And to dream about dear Dr. Dugger.

what a night! I had a chihuahua and he never faked any injuries. How funny!

Oh no...cookies! Cookies are bad. Glad both furbabies are okay!

hmmmm...Dr. Dugger eh? :woohoo:

Score for me! :teeth:


Why would I exaggerate about my life. This is really how it is...:lmao:


He texted me telling me he would call after he woke up this afternoon. That's a good sign...;)


I have links Parla! Just for you! ::yes::


I'm glad I can entertain you all!


Ummmmm...no, the duck would've died.


::yes:: It went really good.


Awwwww....thanks!

whoa!!!...he TEXTED you? You are on a texting basis with the good vet? Surely it was only to check that the little doggies were doing okay ;)

heehee

ooh let's hear about that interview!!!
 
I have links Parla! Just for you! ::yes::

Links!?!? We don't need no stinkin' links! I might miss out on some sparkling conversation! I'm on page , I let the kids have the computer for a while to get them to stop hounding me to get off. :rotfl:
 
At least you got the number...just don't go leaving out any cookies so you can go back soon!
 
A chihuahua (sp) that fakes an injury??? I never heard of that before. That's really, truly funny ... as long as it doesn't happen to me!:lmao:

Glad to hear
- both dogs are good:thumbsup2
- interview went well. Is this something you are still interested in?:)
- cute doc phone #:banana:
 
So, I’m sitting on this bench…and these ducks here…

THESE ONES…

Picture1139.jpg


These ducks here were apparently right behind our bench?

Did I see the ducks?

Nope.

Did I hear the ducks?

Nope.

Did I feel the ducks?

I sho as heck did…::yes::

Cuz one of them gosh darn ducks…reached up…and grabbed my patootie for a taste. :scared1:

Now…correct me if I’m wrong…but if you grab someon’s butt…don’t they call that “goosing” someone.

Well, not anymore.

Now, when I walk by to grab someone's assets, I’m going to say I “ducked” 'em.

Twirl that one around in your mind for awhile.

My body came flying off that bench faster than Santa eating cookies on Christmas night.

And what came flying out of my mouth…in full view of the throngs of “happy” families…and my child plus my niece…is not appropriate for this here DIS. I’ll leave you to your imagination. :rolleyes1

Well, I looked down at that duck…and if we hadn’t of been in the birthplace of Donald Duck…that duck would’ve…he woulda…well, I don’t know what he woulda. But, he woulda been sorry…that’s all I know.

The kidlets and I went and joined the motha after her purchase in Canada, eh?

And we walked onward into the World Showcase…otherwise known as “Not the place to be if you have PMS on a hot hot hot day.”

Oh…here’s the backwards water fountain before I forget…

Picture1135.jpg


And I did turn around and snap a cute pic after the duck bit my assets. Member…we have gardens and flowers on this day!

Picture1136.jpg


We came across Peter Pan’s Garden as we entered WS.

Picture1137.jpg


Not sure what that lady in pink back there is posing for. She looks like she’s fixin’ to take off and fly…heh heh…

See how happy the children are after my cursing fit!

CopyofPicture264.jpg


Anywhoodles…we were off into the WS…

I see London, I see France…that duck almost bit off Jen’s underpants…

Picture1140.jpg


CopyofPicture266.jpg


And looking across the Laguna…ooops, sorry, wrong show…the lagoon…

Picture1141.jpg


The motha wanted to stop in every freakin’ land. :headache: But, not today folks. Today, Jen was in no mood for tea and crumpets in London, or crepes in France. Today, we were window shopping our way around the world. Looking, but not touching.

I dragged my motha clear across to Morocco…without so much as a glance to the left or the right.

Picture1142.jpg


I kept hollering things like, “Take pictures on the move momma. Keep ‘em movin’!”

The ONLY reason we stopped in Morocco, was because Lexie was going to meet her first characters of our trip!

Picture1143.jpg


This Aladdin was very unique. He was very “animated”…I’ll leave it at that…except for I sorta thought he looked like Sanjaya.

Picture1145.jpg


Continued in Next Post Right HERE!
 
As soon as Lexie had her meet and greet…I quick dragged the kids on like a dog walkin’ on a leash for the first time…

They kept shouting things like:

“Mommmm…stop. I’m tired and I’m going to throw up.”

Or…

“Tia…stop. I think I broke my leg.”

Suck it up kids. Phillameana is around and we need to move it move it move it…MOVE IT!

As the children stumbled and fell down due to thirst…I finally “allowed” us to stop in Japan. Not for seeing mind you. But, for drinking…in some Kaki Gori.

Picture1146.jpg


Don’t they look like they’re enjoying their icey goodness?

Well, looks can be deceiving. Those kids each took one bite…and spit it straight out. Neither one of them liked their Kaki Gori.

So, they did what kids do best. Waste what they got and drink momma’s diet coke. Pffft.

I grabbed up the kidlets again…and we were off to round our way around the rest of the world.

Straight into Germany…

Picture1147.jpg


Where Lexie got her 2nd character meeting!

Snow White and Dopey.

Wanna know why there are no pics?

Because, by this time, Jen was ready to die. Ready to lay down and die. And while the motha and Lexie stood in line, I was trying to compose myself enough that someone didn’t lose a limb.

But, I did get some “artificial” pictures while sitting on yet another bench…NOduck…

Picture1148.jpg


Picture1149.jpg


Picture1150.jpg


Picture1151.jpg


On the way around the world…I saw another plant thingie I liked…

Picture1152.jpg


I thought it was apropos since I felt like roaring.

And we came around to Norway.

My motha’s hubby is Norwegian. A Catholic Norwegian. Mixed with a JAP like my motha equates to interesting family holidays.

So, while in Norway, we had to do as only the Norwegians do…

We ate one of these…the motha ate the most of it…

Picture1153.jpg


We saw some of these…(my step-father has mini-ones all over the place…freaky…)

Picture1154.jpg


We sang some opera ala pippy longstocking with blonde hair…

Picture1155.jpg


We sang some opera WITH one of the trolls…

Picture1156.jpg


We listened to these dudes…the guy 2nd from the left looks almost exactly like my step-brother…

Picture1157.jpg


And now to my homeland…

Let me throw in a couple of Mexican cat whistles for ya’!

Ayyyyyayayayayayayayyyyyy! Arrrrrrriba!

Picture1158.jpg


And Jon had but one request while we were in the motha-land.

“Mom…can we please ride the Mexican It’s a Small World?”

“Sure son…I’d loooove to watch a whole bunch of squinty-eyed animatronic dollies singing mariachi music! Let’s goooo!”

As we were walking to the Tres Caballeros…MY Caballeros…we saw some real-live mariachis…

Picture1160.jpg


And the ride pics…don’t worry…there’s only a few…

Picture1161.jpg


Picture1162.jpg


Picture1163.jpg


I don’t know why…but we got off the ride…and all of a sudden I had a thick Mexican accent…and I don’t IRL…go figure…

*Aside…I pick up accents. Easily. I do it all of the time. Are you from Texas? Well, me too ya’ll! Are you from England! Why, I am as well ol’ chap! Last fall, I took Jon to see his asthma doctor. She is from Austrailia. You can probably imagine where this is going. Doc looks at me and is talking away and asks me a question about Jon. I answer back…in an Australian accent. Without missing a beat…Doc looks at me and says: “Did you just speak to me in an Australian accent?” I blushed and stuttered away…trying to cover my tracks. It happens all the time. So…who wants to call Jen for a demonstration? Only those with accents need apply. But, let’s get back to the show…

We left the caballeros…and who was outside????

The most important caballero of all!!!!

Picture1165.jpg


And just so we don’t forget anyone…here are all of the caballeros…

Picture1166.jpg


We were now done with the entire WS. And…tour guide Jen…dragged everyone through in about 2 hours. Including rides (OK...ride), Kaki Gori, character meets, and pictures while moving. Thank you very much.

At the end…the motha looked at me and said: “That wasn’t any fun.”

Well, today was not a day for fun…sorry Charlie.

Before leaving the park, we found our way to the Butterfly Garden. It would have been nice…had we seen more than one butterfly. And I do mean…we saw ONE lone butterfly. And that sucka was so fast…it wouldn’t even quit flappin’ long enough for me to capture it on film…

But, just to round it out…here are the other Flower and Garden SIGHTS from this day…

Looks like Pluto is ready for a Lapu…

Picture1167.jpg


And Donald isn’t #1 when he’s with his woman…

Picture1168.jpg


I loved this one of Minnie!

Picture1169.jpg


It’s important…with all of the heat…to give your pets shade…

Picture1170.jpg


Walt’s main man and his better half!

Picture1118.jpg


And the best for last…of course…

Picture1117.jpg


And after all that…me and Phillameana are ready to leave the park.

For gud. Of mankind.

We were back at SSR by 4:30…in the AC…outta the sun!

And that’s when it happened…the motha was converted…

Up Next: This is “The Life!”

Sorry...but...:lmao:

I'm shocked! Just shocked! Um, no I'm not:rotfl:

:rotfl2:



As soon as Lexie had her meet and greet…I quick dragged the kids on like a dog walkin’ on a leash for the first time…

They kept shouting things like:

“Mommmm…stop. I’m tired and I’m going to throw up.”

Or…

“Tia…stop. I think I broke my leg.”

Suck it up kids. Phillameana is around and we need to move it move it move it…MOVE IT!
