MISSION:Implausible

[mickiecake]

We are also staying at AKL from feb 4-10. I was reading your itinary and we will be at MK monday and also have adr for Liberty tree tavern at 4:10 and we will be at the p&p party on the 5th. I am bound to run into you. I am going to pray for your husband to find a job. Happy New Year

\
Thank you for the prayers.

Well, while at WDW, I bet we will run into each other. You can't miss us, I'll be the one chasing 2 obnoxious screaming boys yelling "YOU BETTER QUIT OR I'LL SPANK YOU WITH MY MICKEY EARS!"

 

[Trentmom]

Thanks for the great feedback, everybody!!! I will def. be writing a trip report when I come back.. maybe Mission:Implausible II??

As for what's next, probably more wailing and gnashing of teeth over my inability to buy anything I need yet!! I HAVE been meaning to write up a new quiz.. a follow up to the WDW Entrance Exam....

Sounds like perfect title

Can't wait for another exam

Since I have finished my itinEARary, ADRs, and can't do much shopping right now, I have come up with a few ways to entertain myself for the next month.

10. Decopage your computer desk with pages from the Unofficial Guide.

9. Call WDW-DINE with a fake ADR#, then try to convince the operator that you are standing outside LeCellier and they won't let you in. Important: You must insist that the operator you are speaking to is the one who made your reservation months ago. Remind her that you know her children's names and what town she lives in, and it would be in her best interest to ensure you get your pretzel bread.

8. Play Monopoly with Disney Dollars. At the end of the game, if you are not the winner, just take the money and RUN!

7. Watch some Disney Porn - AKA the Disney Planning DVD - for the 127th time. You can spice things up a bit by dressing up like Tinkerbell or Peter Pan.

6. Build a scale model of Cinderella Castle out of macaroni and glue. Remember: sugar cones for ice cream make GREAT turrets!

5. Cruising the official WDW website is a great way to pass your last few weeks. By the time you get through loading the 2nd page, you'll be shocked to find that a whole week has flown by!!

4. Perfect your talent at scanning then altering the credit card bill before your DH/DW sees how much that upgrade REALLY costs.

3. Take a long bath. Have your family stand outside the bathroom singing a truly obnoxious song at the top of their voices. Voila'! You are magically transported to It's A Small World!!!

2. Dress up in a Yeti costume and climb on the roof of your house (safety first-tie yourself to the chimney with a stout bungee cord!). Leap down screaming as pedestrians walk by. The neighbors will LOVE this game, entitled
"Expedition Schitzo"!

1. Paint 3 circles on your chest. Put on your sexiest flannel PJs and tell your spouse to come find the Hidden Mickey!
(women have an advantage here - ****s make great Mickey ears)

Silly board won't bump the thread up...

 

[Trentmom]

OMG...

I dont know how you come up with stuff, but it is hilarious

 

[DARuss]

Dito to Trentmom!!! I think I might try painting the hidden mickeys on DW.

 

[missj1975]

You make me laugh so now you have my undying devotion. Hope you have a safe trip and look forward to reading your trip report in Feburary.

 

[mickiecake]

Thanks for the replies everyone. Always glad to give a chuckle..


Man, this is gonna be a great day. DH & the boys just left with my sis & niece to go see Grandpa in Charleston. They will be gone for at least 6-7 hours (it's a 2 hour drive). They took my van, so I have an excuse not to run errands. The house is a mess, but I don't care.... I have a whole day to myself!!



Now I can play Disney & Plant Tycoon ALL DAY LONG!! No whining to play Chicken Invaders!! No DH buried in his comp all day playing World of Warcraft..

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.... blessed silence.............

My sister gave me a $25 Kohl's card for Christmas. So, while the kids were at school, I went shopping in the hopes of finding a new pair of Crocs for our trip.

I love my Crocs. But the pair I have is over a year old, and I wear them every day. So, needless to say, all the tread had worn off, and if I step on a wet floor, my feet almost slide our from under me. I have def. had a few close calls in the school cafeteria.... I am 5 ft 10, so, I think were I ever to fall, someone would probably shout "TIMBER!!!" as they watch me go down!

Anywho, so I diddly bop off to Kohl's, gift card in hand. Or wallet. I went to the shoe section, but Alas! they have no Crocs, only the Sketchers Croc-style shoes. That's cool with me and all. But, unfortunately, my feet are as big as my attitude, and they just refused to squeeze into those cute lil shoes. Story of my life.

So, off I went to the men's shoe department, where I normally buy my shoes. My feet are so wide, I'd have to get shoes at a drag queen store if I wanted to wear strappy heels. But nooooo... they don't HAVE any Crocs OR Croc style shoes in the men's dept. Hmpf. Didn't they know I was coming?!?!?

SO I proceed to wander around the department store, waiting for inspiration to strike. No, I don't want to buy clothes for the boys or DH, this card is for ME! I don't wear jewelry... don't need any embroidered throw pillows, thank you very much. I headed to the plus size clothes department. I swear, it all looked like crap my grandmother would wear. I may be big, and I may be over 30, but by God, I am still COOL.

Commence more wandering. I was just about to give up and get the boys something when I saw the travel section. Oh yeah, babe. Now, no way can I get luggage for $25, but I was betting I could find some stupid accessory I don't really need for that price. Oh... look.., they're having a sale on luggage.. hmmm...

Let's check the sale prices, maybe I can find a carry on bag... $50...$129....$89.... and then I see it. My heart stops, my breath quickens...

"What have we here?" I say. Yes, I really said it.. the other lady looking at luggage subtly moves a couple feet away....

$29... I have that much.. if I throw in $5 of my own... but what is it that's $29?? One bag? I inch closer, probably intimidating the other luggage lady a little bit with the predatory look on my face.

WHAT THE CRAP?!?! A 3 piece luggage set, originally $99.99.. on sale for $29?!?!?!?!?!? Surely that's not right.. or it's crappy luggage...

I inch closer. The luggage lady eyes me warily, as she is looking at the same set.. they only have 2 left. I can't get right in front of them, b/c the luggage lady (read:enemy) is in the way. It looks to be decent quality... lots of pockets and zippers, rolly wheels... ooohh.. and you can "add 40% more space by simply unzipping" the super special extendo-compartment... a suitcase, a carry-on, AND a toiletry bag??

GET OUTTA THE WAY BLUEHAIR, THAT SUITCASE IS MINE!!


I rudely, but gently, push past her as she seems to be reaching for my beautiful green manna from heaven. No way is she getting that luggage. I may get arrested for battery of an old lady, but I'll hand over my $29 in handcuffs if I must....

SCORE!!! I yank the luggage from the shelf with, what I am sure was a manic gleam in my eyes. Sorry, lady, hope ya didn't want it too bad, they still have royal purple up there is you're interested....

With a small noise of irritation, or maybe fear, she backs away from the shelf before the suitcase connects with her head. Well.. honestly lady.. I am bigger, stronger, and more determined. Get outta the way, or you may get hurt!

I cluth the luggage to my chest as best I can, and scurry off to checkout before the manager realizes he must have made a pricing mistake..

I must have still looked a little crazed.. the cashier looked at me kind of funny.. but I paid for my luggage and hightailed it outta there before the luggage lady reported the suitcase thief to the Kohl's cops...

The picture shows the black set, but I got the purdy green

I swear, ya'll, I was so excited about that stupid luggage that I call DH, my sister, my gmother AND my best friend on the way home. They all made the required polite exclamations of delight over my slightly psychotic purchase.. but I got my luggage, darn it!!! It is the perfect size to hold everything the boys will need... and the carry on is not too big or too small. Wheeee!! We have a nutcase! I mean, suitcase!!

And then, to top it all off.. I talked to the Travel Agent... our documents are coming next week....

Yesterday was truly a great Disney day!

 

[Trentmom]

What a sweeet deal

You and me are so much alike..

I have done the same thing in the past.....I will something for a great price, someone else will be standing there, I guess trying to make up there mind....

I will just come up nice and slow....say Excuse me, grab the item and hightail it out of that section.......

Then, when I am by myself, I will examine it and make sure I really want it....


If Not, I will put it back......You got be quick to get what you want when I am around

Hmmm... maybe if I had said excuse me, that little luggage lady wouldn't have been so scared....

 

[Eeyore Excitement]

Hmmm... maybe if I had said excuse me, that little luggage lady wouldn't have been so scared....

Probably not. She would've backed away... slowly... inching away to whisper to the manager about your crazed rush for WDW luggage...

Just kidding... right?

I love your cake designs! If I had to make bottles that small that would be eaten anyway, my brain would implode.

Loving your PTR and definitely cannot wait for your TR...

Subbing, BTW.

Proud FUDAH and I certainly have DBOD!!!!! Proud of it, though.

I would be extremely happy if my mom would join in this disorder, though... see, I'm only eleven scared1: , right?), and my mom does not understand any of this... DIS stuff... when I told her about EMH this morning, she said, "Does that mean Extra-mashed ham?"
Me: ....................

There you have it!

and I'm planning and I don't even know if we'll be going within the next 23 months.

I'm too addicted to smilies, aren't I?

ANYWAY.

Hope you have a great time on your trip! You better make a TR right after or else... just kidding.

Wow! You are an over-smart psycho kid, just like I was! AWESOME!

Do not lose heart, I found that, when I was your age, if I made everyone around me crazy enough, I eventually got what I wanted..

You'll end up at WDW yet!

Sunshine Daisies.. Butter Mellow.. Turn this stupid fat rat YELLOW!!

Heh heh. I LOVE HArry Potter.. read all 6 books, um, 5 or 6 times now.

What can I say? I'm a HP dork!

 

[mickiecake]

Hey Sharky! Whatchya doin for your birthday?? Going to WDW???

 

[Trentmom]

Hey Sharky! Whatchya doin for your birthday?? Going to WDW???

I wish.....

I am not going out the night of my bday, as dh is working.

Probably the week afterwards, we are going to go to Outback Steakhouse(got a gift cert) and then going to see a movie...still want to see Enchanted.

If We take ds with us, then we will go see Alvin and Chipmunks, if still in theater...

 

[DL55]

Thanks. ! I'm over-smart psycho! Seriously, I'm going to tell my friends that.

I hear ya.... hopefully, I can trick, pester, wheedle, and possibly bully my mother into letting us (just the two of us, no father allowed! Why? 'Cause we did that last time and we need a Mommy & Me trip anyway ) go to WDW this December... hmmm.... bullying is a good idea...

Yay HP fans! I have read all 6.. plus the seventh as well, each about... seven times, at least.

By the way... I forgot to mention in my last post, I have an entire binder, white board, pack of index cards, pieces of paper, Post-it notes and planners dedicated to our next WDW trip!!!

P.S. Your cakes look tasty, oh cake goddess.
