Mixed Marriage 2: The Conversion Continues..... now complete

[PrincessV]

Hooray for TwinkieMama! I feared going into the weekend without an update on the Twinkies in the Wild. Though I'm re-thinking my desire to get DS4 on the Kali rapids any time soon now.
I can almost hear the squishing of soggy tennies....

 

[UtahMama]

Oh Shizzle...not first again...got up for a snack and look what I missed!

Twinkie, no need to fear! I'm VERY nice to all the people I'm not married to or given birth to! Let me check...yes, I'm fairly certain you dont fall into either category so you're probably safe.

loving it still

Listening to you two talk makes me want to go to Char Grill. I haven't been there in over three years!! Or for that matter, I haven't been to the state fair in that time frame either. And I have ridden a camel and milked a cow there, boy do I miss Raleigh!

Well, hello, TRRM! I got a good whiff of Char-Grill yesterday! Ok, now every time I drive by the vet school on the way to watch the Hurricanes, I'll look over and see Twinkies milking the cows!! What could be more fun?

TM,

Great report as usual!!

Kali River Rapids, in the rain, to make the kid happy, now that's priceless

 

[Al and Kate's Mom]

TwinkieMama - I am in awe! You are truly a talented writer, and I am really enjoying your report! BTW - grew up in Raleigh and went to UNCA same time you were at State - used to spend a lot of time there - wonder if we ever ran into each other???

Keep it up - can't wait to hear more - thanks for sharing with us all!

 

[sorul82?]

UM, are you related to Snoop Dogg?

 

[MNRMommy]

Don't worry TM, our kids will all be in therapy someday, exmaining their irrational fear of wearing glasses in auditoriums!

Seriously though. You guys are really making me nervous (sp?) for our upcoming trip. DS is 6 (will be 7 at the world) DD is 4 (will be 5 at the world). Anyway, I may never allow them to go in a 3D auditorium. I can just see their therapy now. "Gee Doc, our nutso Mom would never let us in an auditorium. She would go screaming from the exit screaming NOOOOOOOO honey you don't want to go in there." DH already thinks I am crazy worrying about the coasters this will really make him roll the old eyes. I have been trying to work DH up to things. Just took him to a water park for the very first time and have been trying to convince him if he likes that (and how fast DH goes over the big hill at grammas house with the car) then he can definitely handle BTM & SM. Oh boyseee I am a mess about this stuff. Glad to see we have all been in the same boat at least once.

soru82- Nope, the closest I get to being a rapper is being surrounded by snack-food wrappers. Word.
"Utah. OUT"


(I will drop dead if the tag fairy quotes any of that)

 

[luvmyboys]

Twinkie,

Your trippie is just like your namesake dessert! Will be just as (artificially enhanced, chemically preserved, synthetically creamy) good in 10 years as it is today.

A classic!

BTW, we are moving to Raleigh next summer (along w/ half the know world apparently)

I take it you can recommend a restaurant or two?

 

[luvmyboys]

UtahMama,

I SO hope the tag fairy is watching!

You are now the official "Snack Rapper!"

 

[sorul82?]

UM,

It has come to my immediate attention of the necessity for lyrical ammendment of the final stanza of the cult classic, Ice Ice Baby, as made famous by the caucasian rapper, Vanilla Ice. Isn't he dead?

"Word to U Mama"

Peace out Homies...it's time for some snoozzle!

(Please sing to the tune of "I like big butts")

I like to sleep and I cannot lie,
I need eight hours to get by,
So if you little munckins come get in my bed....
You'll get sprung!

.....

So DISers DISers
Do you need to sleep (heck yeah)
Well snooze it, snooze it, snooze it, snooze that sleepy head!
Mama's on her back!


yeah, pretty bad I know! That's why I don't have a record deal!

At this time, I had not yet discovered the Secret of Life. That momentous occasion happened in the summer of 2002 and when I told my mom about it she said “You are just figuring that out NOW?!??” Ok, so I am slow. Some of you are shaking your heads in wonder; some of you are wishing that you knew the Secret of Life… what you want me to share? Well, since the DIS is a caring and sharing place (at least inbetween mug wars and pool hopping fueds) where we all celebrate our love for a place that has come to stand for well crafted fantasy, excellence at any cost and random acts of kindness under the guise of pixie dust I will share…..
(Drum roll please)

The Secret of Life is to start everything REALLY REALLY early.

What? You are disappointed? That is the thing about the secret of life- if someone just tells you, you don’t even believe it. You have to discover it on your own. But back to the story- in the summer of 2000 I didn’t know this. We left AK much earlier than planned because of the rain. This was serendipitous (how often do you get to work that into casual conversation?) because it allowed us time to head back to the resort, change and head to Epcot far earlier than we needed to in order to make our PS at Teppenyaki. Which was good because I have always had a soft spot for Epcot and I was looking forward to sharing it with my men.

Both of them immediately wanted to go into the “big golf ball” upon learning that you could just walk in without a PS made 12 years in advance much like say Cinderella Castle or Duke Chapel- at Duke they say you should go ahead and reserve the chapel for your wedding as an incoming freshman- that gives you just enough time to meet someone, fall in love, get engaged, get your degree, and plan a wedding- about 5 years- and no I didn’t attend Duke or get married at Duke- read my first trip report- we were Broke- I couldn’t have even afforded a soda at Duke much less tuition or white wedding). Anyway, everyone wants to ride the “big golf ball” as soon as they enter the park. Rookie mistake. But in this case I thought we could risk it as it was early afternoon and everyone was either already in the park or wasn’t coming until their PS in the evening. The line was short and in no time we embarked on the history of the world. DS didn’t get it but he wasn’t scared and this was good to set the stage for other dark attractions. Smooth ride, AC, a chance to just sit back and enjoy. However, as soon as that was done I realized that we would have to hustle to make it to our PS on time.

I had, per then current DIS wisdom, made our PS for the last possible lunch seating giving us an early dinner at lunch prices. I had also forgotten exactly How Big is Epcot. I had never rushed across the park like that before. Since it was June and the day’s thunderstorm had already passed leaving the sky slightly overcast, but the air hot and humid, we were panting as we entered Teppenyaki. Even though the place was empty the hostess told us we would be seated shortly…. Now I began to worry- that they would charge us according to when we were seated, not when we were supposed to be seated, and that they were making us wait to push us, unsuspectingly, into Dinner Prices

Just out of curiosity how did DS do on keeping up with you and Dh in your mad dash to the WS and your PS?
