Yuki, I don't know if I've said this before or not but I believe Andrew is the Asian version of my boyfriend Steve. I swear, he does the exact same things. Also you, like myself, totally know his weakness. A little pout of the lips and a bat of the eyelashes and they're done for.
With Steve and I whenever we go shopping, I'll warn him that it will be a while and he'll say "It's ok I have my DS and/or PSP"
Yeah, whenever we go shopping, before we leave, I always ask Andrew if he has his DS. I also make sure it's always charged before we go out.
And with buying stuff for me, I don't usually buy stuff for myself, I always say "I could use the money on something else." I also don't do it on purpose but I'll see something and then look at the price tag and put it back because it's too much or decide I don't really need it. Then Steve will look at me and ask "Do you want it?" And I usually say "Nah, it's ok" then we go back and forth him asking if I want it and me coming up with a thousand excuses why I don't need said item and he'll end up ignoring me and buying for me anyways. He usually comes up with some excuse saying it's an early [insert anniversary/holiday here] or sometimes he'll just say "Happy [insert day of the week]"
But enough about me back to your trip....
Oh ya! I do that same thing with the price tag. Andrew and I both do that. We'll say something is cute, look at the price tag (which will be too pricey) and say it's not cute anymore. No more reasons needed! But for small items, we do the same dance. With me saying I don't need it, and him just getting it for me anyways. I've got a few of those items in my room, just gathering dust unfortunately.
Shame about Ghiradellis.
I guess it's just regular old human error, however if seems to be consistently bad with the service. Especially since the shake was just meh.
I really want to check out the Pirate section of World of Disney. What's better than Pirates and Stitch?
The pin store also looks really neat. The Yoda/Stitch pin is so awesome. It combines two of my favorite characters. And I love love love Elvis Stitch. I really want to get some pins to trade on my trip.
Yeah, the shake was nothing more than a melted McFlurry. Nothing special.
NOTHING is better than Pirates and Stitch. Omg, POTC 4 has ZOMBIE PIRATES?????? Or just zombies, but wtv, that's super cool.
OH and also,
Crocs are awesome! I love me some crocs. Most people who can't stand Crocs are won over by the same kind you bought. They are little pieces of heaven for your feet.
Ooooh, soooo good. I can't wait to get me some more on the 15th when I meet up with Rosie!
I'm curious to know whether or not some of your relatives give you money BEFORE you go on vacation as good luck of sorts for travel. My grandparents still do that when we go away, ESPECIALLY when we travel on an airplane. We used to also do the souvenir thing, but now that we don't have much money, we don't do it any longer. It becomes a search for something they'll like and something they'll use, so it gets to be difficult. We ALWAYS go to Florida, so there's nothing new for them. My relatives go to places like Europe, so it's different!
Actually yes. My aunts and uncles give me some extra money mostly for emergencies. It's very nice of them. I was able to get another EoS sammich with it!
Yeah, I really need to stop with the souvenir thing. My parents still do it when they go back to China, but that's because everything is dirt cheap.
Howard and I kind of got into pins on our last trip! We went to the nearby outlet and found them for 50 cents! They were perfect because we could trade every single one of them. Of course, we didn't buy THAT many because we didn't think we'd need it. STUPID move. We didn't realize that we could've just stocked up! AGHHH, we're STILL regretting it! We're going to have to go back and look there the next time we're in Florida. Even if they're $1, we'll get them. I even asked the CM who worked there if they were all tradeable, and she said they were. She said it was the best way to start trading and that they RARELY ever go that cheap. We should've listened to her advice more than we did!
Woooow, what a great deal on pins! I must make a trip to the outlet when I'm down there next time to see if I can score something. I would love to have more pins to trade.
I'm with you with how funky some of the crocs are! I never thought I'd get crocs, but they're branching out to make things that aren't just the clogs. I have 3 pairs of crocs. I have the Lily Winter flats that I wear every day to work until it's too cold, and I have to switch to boots. I also have the Cleo, which is what I wore to DTD in my current TR. I like that they stay on my feet and that they don't have the flip flop thong (it starts to hurt me after a while). My last shoe is the Adara, but that was because I bought it with a buy one get one free deal. It was too loose to wear outside, so it's the slippers I wear at home, and they're so comfortable! They all are! Good decision though not buying it at Disney! If you stalk the crocs site or even the budget board on DIS, you'll find out about great sales and deals!
Oooh, I want a pair of Cleo's too! And I'm still on the hunt for Athens. I fell for that style. I can't remember which pair of flops I actually own. Yeah, I should stalk the budget board more. The biggest problem is still the shipping to Canada. I'm hoping to find some good deals when I meet up with Rosie at Niagara Falls, US.
It's sitting under my bed, not going anywhere... and if you still need time, it's small enough to come home with me to Boston, and then I can send it to you from there. I will be home beginning of January.
This sounds like something someone with a drinking problem would say. "My problem was that I hadn't drank enough, leading up to the trip." You're too funny Yuki!
It's ok, it's not like they expect anything, anyway.
Boo.
Looking forward to more updates!
I love those EoS pictures. It was all his idea too~ His way of saying hello to the Dis.
