MOOvin' Along - Goog Times, Goog Friends . . . Part 2

[babynurse1]

UD: The shoeshine boy makes me think of that Johnny Cash song...
"Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town..."


MommyP: Glad you got some extra sleep. All mommies to be can use that.

Blue: Yup the kids are already in school, and they are already ready to quit.

Kim, Dre, Cel, and all the rest of you Moooovers.



Antonio Banderas is being so cute this morning. BTW, that's our new kitten's name. {He looks like Puss N Boots from Shrek). Anyway, he's supposed to be living with our other two barn cats outside, but he was so pitiful and crying on the front porch this morning, that I snuck him in for a bit. He just grabbed the cord to the mouse and pulled if off of the computer desk. He's about to earn a one way ticket back to the barn. lol

 

[DonaldTDuck]

Finally, a late day. Don't have to be to the fair till 4. Saturday was like Christmas at Disneyworld. Our line was 25 people deep for hours. boss very happy. Sunday was a bit slower. Ok, a lot slower. Still a lot of work, but had time to talk to the guests, errr customers. I'll be in at 4 tomorrow too BN. I'll wear my other Duck shirt.
I'm going in early September to prepare the World for the Invasion of the Moops. If they can handle the big guys, then cel and Moo and Uma and the rest might not kill em. I'll try not to drink all the Beverly. But Dablue, you can bet Tony will get a taste.
MommieP there is no such thing as too long in bed. There is too much time away from it. Enjoy it while you can.
Poly welcome back.
I'll check back later in the week. And just 17 days till we load up the Explorer and head south.
wow.

 

[TwinkieMama]

You're evil.

Actually she is evile. Or is that e-vile Celery?

If they can handle the big guys, then cel and Moo and Uma and the rest might not kill em. I'll try not to drink all the Beverly.

You crack me up.

So what is up Moo-vers? I had a day all right. And that is about all I am going to say about that.

And I am experimenting for dinner so there will probably be a whole scale revolt at the Twinkie household.

/whine

GRRRRR... supposed to get closing docs today on our DVC contract, but Disney hasn't sent the estopple docs to the TCS yet.

/end whine



In other news, I am going to be a great-aunt again!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Undie, nice pic! That looks like a fabulous place to visit!!!

AMEN!

Poly welcome back.
I'll check back later in the week. And just 17 days till we load up the Explorer and head south.
wow.

Wahhhhh, 33 days for me until !!! Two weeks of which I will be holding down the fort at work while two of my project team members are on vacation At least the extra busyness should help the time go by more quickly.

So what is up Moo-vers? I had a day all right. And that is about all I am going to say about that.

Glad you made it through the in-laws visit, Twink. If you feel like venting, there is always CHAT!!!

My DH finally decided which day he is doing the Space Center tour. I convinced him that he should go on the day that we are having tea, since we have other MK days on the schedule. He would have preferred to skip an Epcot day, but I told him he could just have another non-park day if he wants when we are at World Showcase.

E, so are you telling us that you've been experiencing this?!

 

[pumba]

morning.....hahaha.....actually howdy.....been a long day today.......I think I am at the 29 day wait.....I can hardly wait.....I can tell you that for sure.....
We dont plan on what to do on a certain day except the Halloween Party and supper at Crystal Palace. How do you do it.....we get up and say ...lets do it...if the park is to crowded we move onto another park.....we got all our documents today in the mail.....luggage thingies......and Halloween party tickets......we are ready and raring to go.....
Mom thinks we already went away for a vacation....she said but you have been gone for weeks....I said no mama ....we were here a few days ago....but she forgot.....oh well.....I will tell her when we are going when it gets closer to the date.....I started to write out my list.....have to do that and then throw it away....hahaha......cause I forget what I need until the last minute anyways..
Hope you all have a good night.....sleep well

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Pumba, I have a table that shows all of the park hours (including extra magic hours), parade/firework times, meet activities, and TourGuide Mike suggested parks. It also has meal ressies and tentative schedules for a bunch of us. VERY handy!

But when it comes right down to it, it is tentative if a park turns out to be super crowded, etc. There is always room for spur of the moment changes for additional meets!

One of the things I read on the Disney Dining board yesterday is that Table Service meals cannot be used for Counter Service meals

Apparently, they allowed substitutions last year because so many people failed to make ADRs or couldn't get them. I am hoping that they allow that this year. Otherwise, my hubby is probably going to end up with some extra TS credits since he will be going to the Space Center one of the days. BUT I think I found a way for him to use them in a way that will make him very happy -- he can get a whole pizza with 2 salads, 2 drinks, and 2 desserts at the food court with 2 credits. I need to schedule a breakfast or something for our last day in case we have some extra credits to use up.

I'm thinking Tonga toast . . .

Fortunately, we have an evening departure on the last day of our trip.

Hmm, Moo, that seems totally opposiite of what I got in email today. Tey are trying to make people go away from table service.
Let me see if I can find it (my login to work is STILL not fixed, so I am kind of limited)

Dang, can't find it right now. this is driving me nuts! Anyway, I read something about encouraging quick service meals (with some benefits) or taking a lanyard.

Pumba, time willl fly now

 

[Backstage_Gal]

So work knit freak woman said she had 2 dates this weekend (via a dating site). We are getting closer........
1 first and one second date. Some kuddling and tickinling involved (that she volunteered).

She said her knitting is suffering....... MOOHOO for her!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Ooh, Marita, that would be great if they are exchanging TS for CS plus a lanyard again this year! Please post that if you can find it!!!

I'm sure my hubby would prefer CS to TS on some days.

Sorry you're still having computer problems.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

I will, Moo!

Nobody is more sorry than me about my computer problems

Not knitfreak assistant, but the one who started about 4 or 5 weeks later said. "We'd hate to have you be in the office from 8-5" Wait, that does sound right. More something like feeling sorry for me if I had to (sure)!
LOL, like that would ever happen! I carried this frigging laptop (and its predecessors) to and from work every day for 8 years, and copied files down to laptop, then back to the LAN. I did it before, I can do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carried it up the frgging hill at Wilderness Lodge for 3 years. It's not so much the laptop. but the bag weighs a ton!

Oh, in that vein. this morning I called knit freak from the parking lot and said, can you meet me by the dumpster? (Hi EliSabeth!!!!) So she did, took the bag and I went and parked. When I went home, I said, can we do this in revers, she said she would just take iit out for me. See, we are getting closer! My personal caddy!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Marita, sounds like you need to buy a computer bag or briefcase with wheels!

I am with you about lugging a heavy bag in from the parking area. I have had to do that after evening meetings before with a laptop AND projector. There is a pretty goog incline to walk up to get out of my parking ramp. When I have heavy stuff to carry, I take the elevator up to the first floor of the building, then walk down the outside stairs and cross the street to my building. MUCH easier on my knees.

I have been known to call someone in the office to help me out before too.

We are going to try to go tomorrow afternoon. I'll look for the guy in the duck shirt.

So what is up Moo-vers? I had a day all right. And that is about all I am going to say about that.

Twink. I think we're twins. This sistah-wife connection runs deep.

E, so are you telling us that you've been experiencing this?!

YES! lol

How am I supposed to deal with that face?!?!

Oh, in that vein. this morning I called knit freak from the parking lot and said, can you meet me by the dumpster? (Hi EliSabeth!!!!)

Marita, you taunt me with dumpster meets, but never show.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Moo, I have to get my connection fixed, so I DON"T have to lug the laptop in.

They changed something on Friday and now some people are having problems. (me being one) But if it did come down to that, I would get a wheel thingy (charged to the company)

And why the heck did I not ever think of that when I lugged the thing back and forth every day??????

[MommyPoppins]

Good Mooorning!

My belly button got a little sun burned yesterday. Which doesn't feel too good. Today I had to get up at <gasp> 6:30, but I did let it snooze until 6:40ish.

When we got rid of all the cats(Kinky included, because of fleas) last month there was one we could not catch. She was SOOOOOO mean and scared. Now that she's been outside she is the sweetest thing. How weird is that? It took a while before she would come up to people, but now the kids can hold her and play with her and she doesn't do a thing. We've even gotten her close to Sadie(dog), close enough for Sadie to sniff her and she didn't extract her claws. I don't understand it. I guess she just wanted to be free.

Thankfully now that the bulk of the cats are gone there are no more fleas and Sadie appears to be nearly flea free too.

Can you believe this is the middle of the rainy season here and we have only gotten rain at our house 1 time in almost 3 weeks? It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot.

Well I have to go get kids motivated for school. Yeehaw.

Moo - Can I have one of those schedules for Sept?

Marita - I hope your connection gets fixed soon! Thank googness for lap tops or it'd be real hard lugging your PC to work.

 

[celerystalker]

Morning all!
I'm really dizzy.
It's not a good thing.
I don't know what's wrong.

And twinks, it's evile!
or of the devil.
whichever works.

We got twinks and Utah's presents back yesterday.

Umm.

They're not like I envisioned them.

So when you get them, just lie and say your kids made them.
or your "special" friends in TN.
hehehe.

mommyp - I didn't know you got rid of all the kitties.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Twink. I think we're twins. This sistah-wife connection runs deep.

Thanks!

#ers....tatoo..somewhere..

ok, who's bringing me back..the doggie bag from epcot ?

1. I have heard that from lots of people- wish they had spent more time there.
2. Brilliant!
3. Yes! we want doggie bags!

Good Mooorning!

My belly button got a little sun burned yesterday. Which doesn't feel too good.

Yikes that sounds awful. And itchy.

Java- sorry about your missing documents- they are on the way, right?
Dre- Happy Tuesday!
Marita- does she know you call her the knitfreak assistant? hee hee



Well dinner went better than expected and today is already much better!

let's see..pink for her, blue for him..what's in the middle? is that
her bra??

Yes, doing the never ending laundry! My favorite thing about doing laundry is when a boy-child doesn't put away his laundry but puts in BACK into the dirty laundry hamper. I ask, "WHEN did you wear this, sweet-darling?" Thankfully, they don't lie to me.

YES, that's my barbie sized bra in the laundry smilie. Fits perfect. How's YOU know???


33 more days!

Got all my Disney stuff in the mail: Magical Express, MNSSHP tix- which my kids are fighting over who gets which card , and confirmation stuff. For 2 spacious rooms at Fun Filled POP Century.

I'm off to sew some pokemon sleep pants for the boys. They picked out the fabric. It's horrid, but they LOVE Pokemon. They actually wanted to be Pokemon Trainers for MNSSHP. I told them they can be Pokemon Trainers for school and trick or treating in Utah but NOT for disney.
