[nowellsl]

I need to go to Florida and stay at OKW this weekend. Research purposes for the sake of the lesson, right?

Come on down to Gainesville and you can ride to Old Key Wet with us in the morning We'll have plenty of room!

If you'll just pack me up a sea turtle and send it here, that will be a big help. I have to clean house and shop for school stuff this weekend, as much as I would love being in Florida!!!

I'm sending you a PM about something not turtle-related in a second.

 

[jenjolt]

Now I'm wishing I had picked up that turtle for you while we were down at Vero LOL!! Even the plastic replica would have worked...very life like!!! Sorry no turtles here or I would send one your way!!

Love your shopping pics! I totally want to find that Living with the Land pic...LOVE IT!!!! What a great pin!!!

Hope you have a great weekend!! I'm up at the school now and as you can see not being the most productive of teachers at the moment LOL!

 

[Megablocks]

Oh, if we were closer I would so ask Charles's aunt if you could borrow her turtle!

Wonderful AK pictures, as usual. I can't wait to be back! I have a countdown app on my phone and we're at 109 days. The app lets you use one of your own pictures as a background for the countdown, so I have the red yo-yo at Pop at nighttime. Also, my mom officially our books at Pop yesterday! We have connecting rooms in preferred, and our flight was booked a while ago, so now it all feels so much more real!

Thanks for taking us to AK this morning! I just love that place!!

I hope everyone has a great Saturday! I have chili on the stove, cornbread in the oven & I'm getting ready to watch some football! A pretty nice Fall day I think.

 

[SoonerGirl]

So cute! If they still have this next month it may be coming home with me for Baylee

Even though I'm not a coffee drinker I really want one of those safari Mickey mugs. Maybe I should get one anyway, you know..........as a gift.........for Don.......

Reading your TRs sure is hard on my pocketbook

 

[2xcited2sleep]

You slept IN til 4:56??? That is definitely crazy business!!

I am with Michelle, I add a few items to my souvenir list every time I stop by here. But I love the shopping pictures!! There is nothing like Disney shopping!

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

I love that AK print with the boat and EE. Very nice!

Can't wait for your evening at the Poly. I wish every night was a Poly night.

 

[IheartDDuck]

You know, I never really take the time to look at all the details in the shops, like the ceilings. I'm definitely going to have to remember to do that on my upcoming trip.

I think I'm going to call these segments "Virtual Shopping with MeMom". Such a great way to get my WDW fix.

The Classroom Contest is up, so if you can throw a vote my way, my kids would very much enjoy the new Disney books for the classroom.

Tell your friends, too, if you will. Thanks for the help.

You don't have to wait til F&W for the mingo with Mickey ears. I saw it in many places... of course, the only one I can remember at the moment is by the bathrooms by Soarin. I really wanted to get it, but my DH hates when I add things like that outside because they fade so quick. Hmmmm... maybe I should add it to a plant inside instead?
Also, I think I HAVE to have the wood chimes with the turtle on top! I didn't get to shop much in AK... Darn. Thanks for the great shopping pictures so I get to see all I missed!

I voted! You're in the lead right now

 

[Poolrat]

Wait a minute now - what did I have to do with any of this??? My school, as of this moment, would be the School of Being Crazy, Distraught, and Exhausted!

Lou Mongello is doing a live Aulani feed right now. It is very pretty.

First you deny then you mention Lou....

You got a new lotion! That Pat is a pretty good girl.

How many days until you go back to stock up on more lotion bottles? Like 10 days, maybe?

Tomorrow I am in single digits.

If you could trek out to Aulani and bring back a sea turtle for me to show my students next Wednesday, I would really be grateful. You can go back and return it the next day. I just need it for my observation. My kids would flip out!

Flip out.
Sea turtle.
Get it?


Okay, I sense some eye rolling happening now.

Ok you caught me this time.

Okay, you're kidding! I need a turtle so badly, and this is where I am in the report?!?!?!?

Not a bit funny.

Have I heard people saying this recently?

Staying cool.

You could always climb over the rail to get a better look.

Hope you have a great weekend MeMom! I have a question. Where did you find the alligator/crocodile (I have a horrible time figuring out the differences) in AK? How cool! I will look for them next week if you can let me know.

You got it correct.

Just right over by the restaurant area in a designated pond-type thing. An alligator had a rounder snout, and a crocodile has a thinner snout. A croc's teeth will show even when his mouth is closed. Alligators are not found in as many regions of the world as crocodiles. That's all I can come up with for now.

Yes. It's very sedate. I've never seen it being too active.

Yes until a guy comes up and tries to get in with the croc.




You have made me laugh on a cold day and a bit of a stressful day. I was put at another aquatic facility in our County to work the weekend and this facility just got done ( well not yet) witha major renovations. Needless to say it was not all done in time to open and we were left with getting enough up to operate somewhat. I can laugh about it now and having gone through construction before I expected it. We had water. We had lights. everything else was gravy. We got hot water back by noon and the data and cable guy have both been by to get other things working right. Tomorrow will be a bit better.

Well, it seems I am seeing sea turtles everywhere today There's a small bag of them at the Dollar Tree, then I saw a cute plastic/rubber one at Walgreen's. If I had time I would send you some

 

[*dreamit*doit*]

Caught up!

the giraffe pics! You got some REALLY good ones!!!

Oh my...those CUPCAKES!!

It really saddens me and upsets me all that teachers have to go through these days...for the teachers and for the students. My bestfriend is a 2nd grade teacher in a private school here and last week we were talking about new things she has to do this year like graph answers and all this and I was telling her how it sounded an awful lot like what my Disney friends have been talking about. I always say if I go back to teaching I will be an aide, possibly in a preschool.

Can't wait to hear about the POLY!!!!

 

[MagicShell]

I have been missing a lot lately, but I made it back in time to vote for you Memom. I hope you win!

 

[CandleontheWater]

I always find things that I want to buy in your shopping pics! I must not spend enough time shopping at Disney, which is probably a good thing for my wallet!.

I voted, and I posted your link on my FB page! We will do our best to make sure you win!

 

[reelmom]

Just voted. As of 9:05 pm, you have 52% of the votes.

Brook posted this link on FB. I voted off of that. Good Luck to you! Your running away with it right now. Hopefully it stays that way.

I voted for you and tried to get DH to vote for you on his computer, but for some reason when it came up on his, it only showed the results so far and didn't give the option to vote. Sorry! We tried to get two votes in. I even tried it from DD's computer and it did the same thing??? It's like it knew we were in the same household! Hmmmm, wonder if I can vote form my phone!
