Hi everyone! Hope you have all been doing well! Sorry I've been incommunicado. I've been in one seriously capital B kind of mood for the last few weeks, and am working on adjusting my attitude. Not sure if it's situational, hormonal or seasonal, but day-um, I am so not pleasant to be around (poor DH who is sort of a captive bystander
). Just yesterday I said to my brother, "You know, why in the world can't I act the way I think other people should?"
Ah well, it's a woman's prerogative to have as many personalities as she has shoes. I'd say this is sort of an @#!-kicking, torturously pointed-toe stiletto month.
Yvonne, LOVE the photos! Now I really do want to try the RCL megaship! That photo of the Magic next to RCL made me laugh out loud. It's like those pictures you see of killer whales swimming with their newborns.
Karen - glad you're recovering
. Life is too short for bad wine...partly b/c a wine hangover has to be among the
worst and why waste a hangover on bad wine, lol. Bad wine or no (hopefully, no) I sure wish DH had more business functions like your DH. I never have a good reason to get spiffied up. What does your DH do, b/c I'll definitely have to rethink my career plans if there's a career out there that let's me host fun parties.
My guy is Mr. Tech nerd, so quite often he spends his days in a cave surrounded by glowing screens or on a conference call arguing with other nerds at Intel and HP (they're a fiesty lot)
Whenever they do have company functions it amuses me to note that among the lot of them, only the Directors and salespeople have tans.
While I've got your ear Karen, I wanted to ask: is there a taste difference btwn Clotted Cream and Double Cream? I read the first is fattier (is that a word?) than the latter, but is richness the only taste diff? I'd tell you why I'm asking, but it's a long, boring story. Btw: let me know if all my ?'s get annoying. I'm just full of curiosity (and other things, but that's another conversation)
Did everyone see that on the Friday of our trip MK closes at 7 pm? Could it be?! Dare we say?! A Pirate & Princess Party?!
I know we have to wait a few months for them to announce one way or the other, but I can tell you that when my TA made our ADR's, she was unable to book Plaza Restaurant for any time past 4:30 on that night, and it surely can't be b/c Plaza is in high demand. Definitely keeping my fingers and toes crossed like crazy.
Speaking of, did everyone get the ADR's they wanted? Here's hoping yes!
Hi there Brandi!! Glad you're back!!
) and b) see the special P&PP parade and fireworks, as well as the cool decorations. Here are a few links for websites with info on the events: http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/park/pnpparty/default.asp 
So happy to see ya, hon and hope you're feeling better... 
It's served in small pots and is covered by a crust (clot) which you break through to access the nectar beneath. We have it as part of a traditional cream tea - warm scones, strawberry jam, clotted cream and a fabulous pot of loose leaf assam tea to wash it down - here's a pic tho' I always put the jam on first...
We're not planning on doing the parks too much so opting for resort-based dining - Kona Cafe, Artist's Point, Chef Mickey's, Grand Floridian Cafe...

Everybody have a great weekend.
