Hello...I have definitely seen "favoriteauntie" on these boards before....I recongnize the name. Isn't it interesting how some DIS names stick with you and you recognize from thread to thread? 
Tell her to come on over, rover!
Today was not a great day.....kids REALLY TIRED from sleepovers-not in bed until after midnight!...kinda cloudy and rainy....we are all recovering from colds....until I had time to kill while DS was at a gymnastics b-day party so DD and I went and explored Home Depot...in search of the infamous
alien green mickey heads in the pain chips department! 
I was instantly so excited! I saw the Disney sign from above the paint chips and just so hopeful that "alien green" was available! Actually explained to DD (almost 8) why were we in search of them without spoiling their surprise (remember they don't know we are yarding them out of bed on Nov 10th to fly across the country!).....
she has seen lots on these boards...including hearing the DCL horn and she about goes crazy!
"If only we could some day get enough money to go on the Disney Cruise ship, Mommy!"...she says....
Low and behold...there they were...all 30 of them!
And I cleaned them out! I initially felt guilty 
but only for a quick minnie-minute 
......I guarantee you two things (1) I would bet $$$ that no one else from my small town is even a DIS member and knows about the alien green mickey heads. (2) who would paint that God-aweful color on their walls? 
My DD got totally into it and even explained to DH at the dinner table tonight what we would do with the mickey heads if "we ever got so lucky to go on the Disney Cruise!"
It was the highlight of my day and I have stashed them aside with other misc. items to pack....only a few so far....I will get much more out of control during the upcoming summer.
Does anyone need any mickey heads mailed to them in case they are not near a Home Depot....or you live near a DCL thief like me in your hometown? I would be happy to mail some out. I THINK I HAVE TOO MANY NOW 
Until later......DIS NURSE
P.S. Do you suppose a middle manager from Home Depot has ever gone to a board meeting and put on the agenda, "alien green-Disney's most popular color"? I bet the discussion would include the uncanny proportion of replacement paint chips needed to be put on order compared to the actual # of cans sold of that horrible color!
THANKS TO THE DIS BOARDS!

My husband just asked a great question: What cabin (or deck for those private minded folks) is everyone staying in?
Just kidding....I am so excitied to have gotten that room! In fact, just last week I wrote a check for $2,120.00 and it brought a smile to my face because it was our stateroom #!!!! 
). the couple that were staying in it were great-they did up the entry hall (yes, it had an entry hall into the living area) as a haunted house for our little band of trick or treaters.
OUCH!!! where's the chocolate double fudge triple scoop icecream brownie sundae with extra whipped cream? I am going to have to cut back on some of my excursion planning
