Like a Bad Meal (V Keeps Coming Back) - THE END! 1/12/09

Thanks for the "illuminated illustration" THere were parts that I

Much better than pictures. Had you photographed every Colorful sentence it would have been just an TR. However you painted a picture in my head much like "radio" did for my parents and reading does for me. So I till I reached the "pantyliner" thingie... Then I

Because I was sporting my new, super-sleek, teeny-tiny Canon SD1000 camera for the trip. I looove this camera and there was no way I’d chance bringing it to TL to meet its untimely demise in the wave pool or through some stranger’s five-finger discount. Nuh-uh. So I’ll just have to illustrate this story using colorful verbiage. Which is completely different from colorful language. TFI.

Understandable

“Nope. Wanna go to TL.”

Of course he does

Leo was right. TL wound up being a great choice!

Well, I guess the kiddos have to be right once in a while

Take a moment and imagine what my fair, sunless skin did with no sunscreen after eight hours on the beach in Miami. In August.

British…. pink. LY Jo!

LY too Jo

I thought the skirted bottoms were a great solution. Until I looked around at TL. Here’s what I found – skirted bottoms look old. Granny-old. No matter how old one’s chubby thighs may be, the skirted bottom adds the appropriate number of years necessary to reach 75.

Don't ANYONE look at me in my bathing suit in August

Leo wanted a Mickey ice cream treat, so we first stopped at Lowtide Lou’s (conveniently located just behind our resting spot), where I shelled out half a mortgage payment for a Mickey head that took a nose-dive straight to the concrete halfway through.

DOh

Then we moseyed around the path toward Shark Reef, where Leo enjoys going down into the sub to make faces in the windows at the snorkelers.

When we once again reached our chairs, Leo said, “I’m done. Let’s go Mommy.” And that was that! We headed back up to the changing rooms and grabbed a stall in which to shed the damp swimsuits and switch to dry street clothes.

And that’s when IT happened.

About two(2) hours at TL and we were back on the road. But where oh where was that road headed?

Have you checked in yet

Really?? Well that's craptastic! I'm just gonna suck it up and accept my Granny skirted bottoms. I refuse to subject the public to my hideous case of chub rub.

See my comment above

Uhhh... what's a swirly? Wait... do I even want to know? Uhhhh.. yeah, go ahead, tell me.

 

[Goofyluver]

Mmmmkay...another vote for Neutrogena sunless tanner here. Works great. You'd think with my mexican blood running through my veins that I could tan darker than the color on a pair of khaki pants...doesn't happen.

And...the pantyliner...EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! DISGUSTING! Those girls would have gotten a teacher ear-full from me! It pays to work with children...you know how to beat them back with words!

Waiting patiently for more...

 

[PrincessV]

But.

No pressure.

De ja vu much?

Good one!

Looking forward to the run down on tl. Going in July w/ dd, dsil, & their 4db, 1dd ,& Dwife. 2 dGS are <6 yo.

They'll have a GREAT time! There really is something for every age at TL. That may be the case at BB, too, but Leo has so far refused to look.

I'm heading to WDW this weekend too. Actually leaving on Wednesday and coming home on Sunday, so sort of weekend, right? I'll keep my eye out for you! Where are you guys staying - I'm gonna be at Pop. Solo, baby!!

Get outta town! We'll be at BCV Sat. night. NO KIDS!!! Whoopes, I'm giving stuff away. We have no plans at the moment, but I'll be on the lookout for ya! Wait - I'm horrible at finding DISers; best you keep an eye out for me, as well.

Trip 2??? Already???

If your school project/paper is as wonderful as your report on TL expect an A on the project.

You are so sweet - thank you! But I have a confession... it took so long to get things done, I never wrote the school paper.

Yay! Great update!

Keep writing that paper!

Thanks! I'm onto the paper today... or maybe tomorrow.

Ahhh... the life of an AP holder. Grand, isn't it?

LOL, I'm pushing hard for multiple water park trips just to get my money's worth out of the WP passes!

That's because no one should be yellow-green.

Tell me about it.

Oh H to the Hell no!!

This is funny - shortly after IT happened, I found myself wondering, "What will T's reply be when she hears this??"

Hi V! I just wanted to come out of lurkdom to voice my disgust.

Hi! Thanks for coming out of lurkdom; sorry I grossed you out in the process!

Good-Happy-EnjoyingYourDayWithYour Kid-Wow for the fun you and Leo had TL.


And Icky-Gross-Bad Wow. For you know what.

That totally sums it up!

 

[PrincessV]

I thought of you yesterday when, in French class, we learned this: le point virgule. Semi-colon.

Oooooo!! Je l'aime, le point virgule! C'est fromidable

V, you know your AP gets you free parking?

Sadly, mine doesn't; I've got the FL Seasonal Pass. It has blackout dates and doesn't include parking. BUT it's $100 less than the regular FL AP!

I was so sick and tired of everyone cutting in front of us the entire trip, I snapped at them and said something about them cutting. Turns out my mil told them to go ahead, but didn't tell me that.

Oh no - that's classic!

Well, the word pasty was used. I countered back with porcelain.

YEAH!

This is what I used, for only three days before the wedding and I have to admit it worked fairly well!

I haven't seen this one in our stores - I'll try drugstore.com if I can't find it. Thanks a bunch!

I have a Jergens one too that smells like crap.

OMG, Jergens is the WORST!!! And it figures - it atually makes me a decent color. But I'm so allergic to the scent I wind up needing my emergency asthma inhaler.

Much better than pictures. Had you photographed every Colorful sentence it would have been just an TR. However you painted a picture in my head much like "radio" did for my parents and reading does for me. So I

Thanks! I do think sometimes I substitute pics for wrods, when the wrods would have told the story so much better.

till I reached the "pantyliner" thingie... Then I

Well, I guess the kiddos have to be right once in a while

Think there's some kind of ammendment we could pass outlawing that?

Have you checked in yet

Nope, not yet!

Uhhh... what's a swirly? Wait... do I even want to know? Uhhhh.. yeah, go ahead, tell me.

I'm with T on this one. Do we want to know?

Really?! No one else knows of this? it was very big where I grew up, particualrly as a torture device for high school freshmen. A "swirly" is when a couple of kids (usually jocks) grab another kid (usually the non-jock), tips him upside down, put his head in the toilet and flushes.



I KNOW.

Mmmmkay...another vote for Neutrogena sunless tanner here. Works great. You'd think with my mexican blood running through my veins that I could tan darker than the color on a pair of khaki pants...doesn't happen.

OMG, KHAKI - that's exactly my color!

 

[KatGarcia]

I lost all sense of the amusing colorful update when I read the words "panty liner". WHAT THE F!!!!!!! I would have stormed out of there and had a few not so Disney words for those girls. Jeez. I'm mortified for you.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

T, there's no way you have chub rub. I on the other hand...

You didn't see them in the pool photos from last year?

Of course you didn't, because I was hiding them behind Jo's DD!

This is funny - shortly after IT happened, I found myself wondering, "What will T's reply be when she hears this??"

It was actually worse than that - but I'm trying to avoid points these days.

 

[Miz Diz]

Yuck!!!!


Okay, V - a dining question.

I made ressies at Garden Grill. Where do I want to request to sit? I remember something in a previous TR of yours, but can't remember where.

Lower tier! These are half-curcle booths looking out on the scenery. The upper tier is tables with chairs and the view is somewhat blocked by the tables below.

 

[PrincessV]

I would have stormed out of there and had a few not so Disney words for those girls.

Believe me, I had some choice words, too. But they were walking out as IT happened - some innocent bystander would've thought I was tlaking to them!

[DisneyJo]

And that’s all I’ll say about that.

OK

enjoyed our lunch whilst watching the floaters. Float by. On floats.

Very descriptive V

British…. pink. LY Jo!

Hey

I thought the skirted bottoms were a great solution. Until I looked around at TL. Here’s what I found – skirted bottoms look old. Granny-old. No matter how old one’s chubby thighs may be, the skirted bottom adds the appropriate number of years necessary to reach 75.

I think the skirted bottoms look cute but they don't sell them here

Look away, I’m hideous.

V you most definitely are not hideous, you're beautiful and you have a great figure

IT was a ROLLED UP PANTY-LINER!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG that is the most revolting thing I've ever heard

About two(2) hours at TL and we were back on the road. But where oh where was that road headed?

Ummmmm DHS?

Of course you didn't, because I was hiding them behind Jo's DD!

OMG T I read that as Jo's DD's rather than Jo's DDaughter

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

OMG T I read that as Jo's DD's rather than Jo's DDaughter

Thanks for the new hiding place!

 

[disneyhockeymad]

eww that's possibly the worst thing I've heard ever happen at WDW. I feel so sorry for you, it's horrible that those girls were just laughing as well.
Apart from that 'incident' your trip to TL sounds really fun! Can't wait to see where you go next!

 

[Sleeping*Beauty]

Hi. I’m V and I have chubby thighs.

Me too!!

 

[cmp1111]

Oooh, V. Yuck.

I think I stole one of your Target suits - you posted a picture, then I saw it, and... But it does indeed have the skirted bottom. And my problem with it in TN was that I couldn't throw my jeans over it to get to the gym. D'oh.

I'm still looking for a better new one for August.

I used to turn brown in seconds, but these days I'm burning a bit that turns brown within 12 hours or so - but still. I forget sunscreen all the time. Doesn't matter SO much for me, though I need to be more careful - but it's bad for my one fair son. The other is tan, like I used to be.

And I'm babbling. But except for the end, it seemed like a great afternoon!

(Your prof would have ticked me off, too! I am generally one for "get it said concisely" - babbling aside, of course. )

 

[jcc0621]

OMG T I read that as Jo's DD's rather than Jo's DDaughter

Thanks for the new hiding place!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Glad you don't have any pictures, 'cause I sure wouldn't have wanted to see IT.


Glad you scored a good uncrowded spot at TL.

I need a new suit, so thanks for the V Bathing suit buying tips!

 

[askelton]

Sadly, mine doesn't; I've got the FL Seasonal Pass. It has blackout dates and doesn't include parking. BUT it's $100 less than the regular FL AP!

Are you sure you don't pay more than $100 for parking as much as you go?

Really?! No one else knows of this? it was very big where I grew up, particualrly as a torture device for high school freshmen. A "swirly" is when a couple of kids (usually jocks) grab another kid (usually the non-jock), tips him upside down, put his head in the toilet and flushes.



I KNOW.

oy vey!

 

[PrincessV]

I think the skirted bottoms look cute but they don't sell them here

I will say that the straight skirts aren't bad at all... but mine kind of poofs out, almost like it's a bit gathered. NOT good.

V you most definitely are not hideous, you're beautiful and you have a great figure

You are the BEST!

OMG T I read that as Jo's DD's rather than Jo's DDaughter

BWAHAHAHA!!!!! You guys are bad!

Apart from that 'incident' your trip to TL sounds really fun!

It really was! I can't say enough how much fun we have at TL. I'm really relishing these years before Leo wants to do all the big slides. Right now, it's such a relaxing day.

Me too!!

Welcome to the club! Near as I can tell, I was born with 'em and they've never gone away.

I think I stole one of your Target suits - you posted a picture, then I saw it, and... But it does indeed have the skirted bottom. And my problem with it in TN was that I couldn't throw my jeans over it to get to the gym. D'oh.

Oh shoot - I never thought of that!

I'm still looking for a better new one for August.

I jsut bit the bullet and ordered a couple from Lands End. I'll let you know how they look/fit when they arrive.

Glad you don't have any pictures, 'cause I sure wouldn't have wanted to see IT.

I never thought of that!

I need a new suit, so thanks for the V Bathing suit buying tips!

I'll post a Lands End suit review next week-ish!

Are you sure you don't pay more than $100 for parking as much as you go?

Nope - not even close. Last year, we only paid for parking once, thanks to spending the night on-site and "alternative" parking lots. ssst:

 

[askelton]

I'll post a Lands End suit review next week-ish!

Their suits are good for swimming but not so much for sunning. I can't have tan lines you know.

ssst:

I like this!
