May at the Poly! Home & catching up on work...TR to come soon!

Let's see if this will get you off page 13

Nope, so let's try another post.

Can you hear me now?

Darn it! How many posts are on a page?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

Let's go with something besides a old nursery rhyme. How about a Salt N Peppa song "Oooh baby baby ba ba ba baby."

10 posts on your wall. 10 posts on your wall. Take one down, pass it around. 9 posts on your wall. (Obviously sung to the 100 bottles of beer on the wall song.)

Eeny meeny miny mo, how many posts before you go................to page 14?

There once was a girl from Nantucket................................

Did you hear the one about the priest and the rabbi who went into the bar..........................................

I'll try to help....page 14 yet????

A new blonde employee calls the Help Desk to complain that there’s something wrong with her password.
“Whenever I type the password, it just shows stars,” she says.

“Those asterisks are to protect you,” the Help Desk technician explains, “so if someone were standing behind you, they wouldn’t be able to read your password.”

“Yeah,” she says, “but they show up even when there is no one standing behind me.”

Just keep trying, just keep trying....

Thank goodness Christine showed up. I don't know how much more silly stuff I can say.

Yeah!! We did it! page 14!!!!!!!!!!!!

A blonde quickly went out to her mail box, looked in it, closed the door of the box, and went back in the house. A few minutes later she repeated this process by checking her mail again.

She did this five more times, and her neighbor that was watching her commented: "You must be expecting a very important letter today the way you keep looking into that mail box."

The blonde answered, "No, I am working on my computer, and it keeps telling me that I have mail."



Does that get you to page 14 yet?

I sure hope that all of April's readers know why I was posting all that nonsense. Otherwise, they'll think I am even more nutso that I am.

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!

I literally laughed myself to crying reading this. You just MADE my day! The blonde jokes are priceless!!! My goodness.
I owe you BIG TIME!!!

All that & I forgot to say- THANKS!!!

Don't worry- I only have about 5 readers, so it's ok to be as wacko as we want!

Glad I was able to provide you with a little entertainment this afternoon.

You're quite welcome!

You know I have no problem at all being wacko.

Hi April,

You and your point and shoot did a great job photographing Boston. It reminds me that I should take the family up there one day. There are so many wonderful sights to see in the city. I must have Disney on the brain as well since I am now seeing some of DHS in the pictures now that Lisa pointed that out Great pictures of the flowers as well

How exciting that you are less than 2 weeks away. I am so envious. One more thing about photographing wishes from the TTC is though you want to try to get up to the fence, don't actually have any of your tripod touching the fence. There will be vibrations from people coming out of the gates. Hopfully you won't be too tired to head over there I am looking forward to seeing your results if you do. I am also interested to see and hear about the wild Africa Trek if you do that. I never heard of it until I saw you mention it here.

Lisa and April
You are making me blush. Thank you both for the kind words. Note though that I take plenty of bad pictures. I just take a boatload of pictures and only post the good ones. As long as you have enough storage take a lot of pictures on your trip April. It is easy to delete pictures that don't turn out afterwards but obviously impossible to get back the shots you wished you took but didn't.

Lisa, you are too funny with the jokes
let me finish one of them.....

A priest, a rabbi and a minister walked into a bar.
The bartender says "What is this some kind of joke?"

Thanks! Boston is fun to visit. The Museum of Fine Arts, Children's Museum, Museum of Science, Aquarium, and Harbor Cruises are some fun things to do there. I just love all of the historic buildings and sites.
Thanks for the tip about the fence! That thought would not have even crossed my mind. So far, I have three 16gb SD cards. Hopefully that will be enough. I'm not sure if I will have to get another.
I'll DEFINITELY give a detailed report of Wild Africa Trek if I end up doing that.
I am SOOOO retelling that joke at work today!!

I'm making my final payment on my reservation today! I will be able to do online check-in tomorrow.
In two weeks (this is where I had to change some plans) I'll be getting up early & going over to Universal & IOA. I'm not sure what order I will be visiting the parks, but I do know that I will only be bringing a point and shoot camera that fits in my pocket because Universal & IOA make you put EVERYTHING in lockers. I'm really hoping I'm not too tired for EMH at Epcot that night. You know- I have never noticed- is World Showcase open for EMH or is it just the attractions on the evening EMH list?
Sorry I don't have any photos today. This weekend, I promised my Grandma that I will take some family portraits while everyone is together for Mother's Day. Other than that, the weekend will be pretty quiet. I hope to get a lot of cleaning done and to unpack & re-pack. I am so excited that it is only 11 days away!!!

 

[Marshay]

Thanks! I was really surprised to see so many different birds in one day.
How many days are you staying in WDW?

We'll be there from May 14 - 22nd at AKV-Kidani.

Love your Botson pics.

I so want to do the Wild Africa trek, but dont' have babysitter for that long and both DH and I want to do and neither is willing to give it up for the other!!

Thanks! I Looove Animal Kingdom Lodge, but I haven't been over to the Villas yet. I've heard great things about them, though! Everyone I know who has stayed there absolutely loves it.
I'm 99% sure I am going to book Wild Africa Trek. I hope they aren't sold out of spaces on the day I want to go. If I DO go, I'll post a detailed report and review.

 

[aprilisis]

10 days to go!!!!!!



I did online check-in today! They don't let you write in room requests anymore! They only allow to choose 2 of 4 options. Let's hope they give me a room on the second floor or higher with 2 queen beds, then.

I unpacked, then repacked today. I have to do a little bit of laundry, but I'm well on my way to being done with that. I'm getting nervous because I ordered a lens over a week ago- I had to call about it on Friday because I didn't get any e-mail confirmation or anything. They told me "we don't know why it didn't ship, we're sorry, and it will ship today". I just said "thanks". I was disappointed that I might not get it before my trip, but flipping out doesn't help anyone. So we'll see about that. Last- I decided that I'm going to do Wild Africa Trek if the time & day I want aren't sold out. I'm going to call to book that Monday.
I hope you all have a great weekend!

I sure hope you get to do it! Esp, with your new camera and if that lens comes -- you'll have some awesome pics!!

I can't even express how much I am looking forward to this!!! Even if it rains & I can't take my camera, I will still be loving it!!!
Did you notice that your TR has over 200,000 views now??? I think that is awesome. You must be getting so excited for your trip. How many days before you go??

YAY for you!!! I'm so glad you booked this. What day are you doing it?

 

[longing2Batdisney]

sorry, I have not been around lately April! How exciting that you are going on the Trek I cannot wait to hear what you think and see your photos! YAY! for being packed I am suppose to be doing that for our trip and haveNOT even started....I have tons of laundry to do today so if I can get into folding as I go maybe I can pack as I go too!

Have a great week!

 

[aprilisis]

I'm sorry that I totally dropped the ball on my "in two weeks" posts. Saturday I did a TON of laundry & Sunday I visited my Grandmother & cooked dinner for my mom later on. Guess what I did this morning? I booked Wild Africa Trek at WDW for Wednesday the 18th! I'm a little worried about how I will get to Animal Kingdom. I think I might have to take a cab because I have to be there at 7:45am & the park doesn't open until 9am. I think I should take a cab just to be sure I'll be on time.
I still have to:
pick up some last minute things at the store
hopefully receive the lens I ordered before I go
book a mani/pedi (my feet look like the Yeti's)
finish packing
relax (This will NOT happen until I'm sitting in my room at the Poly)
The Liberty Square Riverboat, Enchanted Tiki Room, Primeval Whirl, and La Nouba will all be closed when I visit. At least nothing I LOVE will be closed, so I am happy about that.
I haven't heard from my friend that I am supposed to meet up with yet. I'm getting a little nervous about that. If she ends up not meeting me Thursday, I'll change around some dining if I can.
I'm sure I'll be posting all week/weekend up until I go.

7 days, 16 hours, and 20 seconds to go!!

 

[aprilisis]

YAY for you!!! I'm so glad you booked this. What day are you doing it?

Wednesday morning I am going to do the 8am Trek. Now I just have to cross my fingers for NO rain!

Hi, Connie! Your cruise is coming up soon, isn't it?? I hear you about the laundry- Saturday I did 5 loads of laundry. I'm packed- but I packed WAY too much as usual & I think it will be over the weight limit. I'm going to have to try to move some stuff around.
Thanks! You have a great week, too! It is amazing how the warm weather has changed my mood!

 

[aprilisis]

Another quick thing I have noticed is that DHS is open later than originally stated for that week, so that will be great!

Wed, May 18th??? That's my Animal Kingdom day!!! I will so totally shout out to you when we pass the tour (if we see you) on Kilimanjaro safari!!
