Now Bring Me That Horizon ~ It Begins P115

[LegoMom3]

Every post shall be accompanied by a picture of my favorite rum-soaked, dread-locked, drop dead gorgeous swaggering pirate. In addition, I shall include one of the many of my favorite Captain Jack quotes, in no particular order, from the three films.

Why?

Because it's my pre trip report and I can.

And also, because given that 44 seconds of footage, and the news of the Fantasyland expansion, I am super pumped for this trip and I just want to do something fun every day until we leave. So even if I can't do a full on post, I'll still post the picture and the quote.

And you may all feel free to drool. Perhaps keep a spare towel by the keyboards so I don't get blamed for having fried your computers. You have been forewarned.

"Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?"






I'll give you all a moment.

Moment taken.....! Good golly that's one hot pirate.....

Drooling has commenced (just as long as I don't also cut a tooth like Smileybug....)

Now, on to official pre trip report business.

I love my hair. I really couldn't stop looking at it last night, running my fingers through it, the whole deal. The trip to salon was well worth it. She spent over an hour cutting my hair and styling it, and we discussed what she was doing, what products to use to achieve the same look. Honestly, even though expensive, it was totally worth it. You just can't beat that kind of service and that kind of quality, you really can't.

Anyway, the big kicker will be if I can style it myself at home. I'll let you all know how that goes later today. I do have to say, because it's so much shorter, I think it's going to take me even less time in the morning once I get the hang of it, and that's a huge plus. Anything that looks cute, like a real style, and doesn't take me time in the morning, well heck, sign me up! That and the fact that I've wanted this style for so long and never had the guts until now, well it just feels like an affirmation. In the words of Mia in the Princess Diaries (books, not film), perhaps I am on my way to self-actualization after all.

SO happy that you love it so much! I'll bet it looks great!

I also have Realityland coming from interlibrary loan, so I'm really looking forward to reading that as well. And they didn't have a Birnbaum's guide (why ever not???) so I'll be requesting that as well.

I don't know but I"m starting to think it's a library conspiracy.... It's like if you want it, you have to buy it (or, then again, perhaps a Birnbaum conspiracy!). I love that book. It's just pure Disney and a good "fix" in between trips!

Today, I'll be working on the bathroom (and my bedroom if I have time), which will lend itself to taking a look at our travel toiletries and seeing if we need any items to be replenished before we leave.

Little itty bitty travel sized stuff!!!!......Woo hoo!!..... I love these so much that I posted pics of my stash on my last PTR. Target and Walmart usually have big sections of bins just chock full of mini-anything you might possibly need to travel!

Of course, my excitement factor is increasing rapidly. The closer we get to this trip, the more excited I get.

.....

I'm so excited FOR you!!! Gosh....pirates, hair, travel-size stuff, and an almost-here trip.... This has been a great post!

[eandesmom]

First, thank you SO much!

I just can't think of a better way to start my day than with a cup of cofefe

and Jack.

Sigh.

I am so happy you love your haircut! And admire your bravery for a totally new style, it must be freeing.

I'm so curious about these costumes of yours, can't wait for more details!

All in all you are BUSY! Good, cleansing, happy busy. Good things.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, hello, Jack -- thanks for swaggering over to brighten my dismal school day.

TK, your new haircut sounds very fun and stylish -- can't wait to see it in person soon!

You will like those two Meg Cabot books -- fun, light, quick reads -- like fluffy, yummy cupcakes for your brain!

Ah, I am getting to the point where I simply cannot wait for our vacations to begin.

 

[MRYPPNS]

I'm glad that you like your hair cut. I'm even happier that I get to see it without a huge mickey head covering it!

 

[TarzansKat]

Glad you love your hair, a good cut is totally worth the extra money, because it grows out nicely too. So actually you saved money, because you don't have to get it redone when it gets shaggy looking.

Now I'm even more excited, because this is going to look totally cute when it grows out. Good point!!

How's that for some fuzzy math? Love the daily picture and quote, but can you keep it up until the movie comes out?

Alright, everyone, you heard it here.

If I begin a thread solely devoted to this after I finish this ptr, will you all follow me there?

Add me to the list of 21 Jump Street fans, he was beautiful then too. You'll love Realityland - that was a great read. You should also look for "Mousejunkies" by Bill Burke, it was pretty funny.

I'll have to look up Mousejunkies, thanks!

I'm way ahead of you on the travel toiletries - mine are already packed.

Wow!

My 5 year old packed her suitcase already. All tshirts, no bottoms and no bathing suits - that would be an interesting vacation! I'm impatiently waiting - 11 more days!

I can't get over how she packed her suitcase. I shudder to think how my son would pack his. Although I can tell you, pretty much every day now, he wants to wear a "colored" shirt. That's what he calls his Mickey tie dyes. Am I soooo lucky, or what?

By the by, I've really enjoyed chatting with you here. Do you want to plan a tentative meet?

Moment taken.....! Good golly that's one hot pirate.....

Drooling has commenced (just as long as I don't also cut a tooth like Smileybug....)

That sure is one hot pirate.

I soooo can't wait for MNSSHP to see my DH dressed up again. Talk about drooling. Now I'll have to fend off the DIS friends we're meeting.

SO happy that you love it so much! I'll bet it looks great!

It is very cute.

I don't know but I"m starting to think it's a library conspiracy.... It's like if you want it, you have to buy it (or, then again, perhaps a Birnbaum conspiracy!). I love that book. It's just pure Disney and a good "fix" in between trips!

I am very lucky, though, my interlibrary loan is pretty quick.

Little itty bitty travel sized stuff!!!!......Woo hoo!!..... I love these so much that I posted pics of my stash on my last PTR. Target and Walmart usually have big sections of bins just chock full of mini-anything you might possibly need to travel!

I remember those pictures. Is it wrong that they were exciting to me?

I'm so excited FOR you!!! Gosh....pirates, hair, travel-size stuff, and an almost-here trip.... This has been a great post!

.

Thanks! Always happy to provide good quality entertainment.

First, thank you SO much!

I just can't think of a better way to start my day than with a cup of cofefe

and Jack.

Sigh.

No need to thank me, my dear. I'd like to pretend what I did was selfless, but to the contrary.

I love posting pictures of Jack.

I am so happy you love your haircut! And admire your bravery for a totally new style, it must be freeing.

It is quite freeing, but today I got a little nervous. I had some trouble styling it, since it's my first time. I think perhaps I didn't use enough root lifter. I had a fair amount of mousse going. Let me tell you, this is a whole new world for a girl who barely used hair spray. Anyway, once I figure out the product and how to blow dry it perfectly, I think I'll be okay.

Due to my frustration, however, I was able to replicate my hair to the picture I have of the actress who plays Alice Cullen...complete with headband and everything. It is so stinkin' cute.

I'm so curious about these costumes of yours, can't wait for more details!

I'm a little nervous about DS' and my mom's. I'm definitely going to need some help from DH for those.

All in all you are BUSY! Good, cleansing, happy busy. Good things.

I love that. It's so true.

Oh, hello, Jack -- thanks for swaggering over to brighten my dismal school day.

Jack - My intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled, dearie. Having had no experience with those of the middle school persausion, I am at a loss to aid you. More rum?

TK, your new haircut sounds very fun and stylish -- can't wait to see it in person soon!

Thanks! By the time I see you, I should have styling it nailed down! Only 12 more days!!!

You will like those two Meg Cabot books -- fun, light, quick reads -- like fluffy, yummy cupcakes for your brain!

I needed some light reads, and her books are so great for that. I've been reading these very, very heavy vampire novels, and they started to actually get to me. To the point where they put me in a bad mood. I needed some chick lit.

Ah, I am getting to the point where I simply cannot wait for our vacations to begin.

Me, too!

I'm glad that you like your hair cut. I'm even happier that I get to see it without a huge mickey head covering it!

You know, I seriously debated outing myself after this haircut. We'll see.

 

[jenjolt]

Ha! Does Jen need some help cleaning?

Love the books...I laughed when I saw the huge stack of Disney books...because I have the same stack next to my dresser and on the spare bedroom bed LOL!!

I'm hoping to dive right in if DS takes a nap today. Fingers crossed. He sooooooo needs one.

Me, too. I know I don't talk about it because it's a surprise, but I'm so excited about my costume! I can't wait for you guys to see it. I hope my hair is a teensy bit longer by then...it so doesn't go anymore. Although.... I just thought of something that might help. Hmmm.

You know what's funny? I use the word savvy all the time. And my mother and I will use it in normal conversation with each other. Along with aye, and do we have an accord.

Yes.

We're a touch off, but in a good way.

LOL I love that you use those words in daily conversation!! It's like my WOOT!! Yes I actually say that in real life...I'm sure you'll hear me say it a couple of times!!

YES !! I could totally use some help cleaning!!! Are you offering??? LOL!! I'm so glad for the week with just myself in the house to get ready...but still so much to do!!!

Hmmmm...now you have me intriqued...whatever will you be doing to your hair to make your costume match better...I'm really excited to see the costumes!!!!

Hope you get plenty of time to do some delightful Disney reading!!! Enjoy it!!!!! I'm going to try tonight to work on my itinerary notecards...I want those puppies done ASAP!!

You live in Florida, right? If we could work in a trip to Disney, I'd consider it.

Hmmmm...now you have me intriqued...whatever will you be doing to your hair to make your costume match better...I'm really excited to see the costumes!!!!

Thanks! Oh, itinerary notecards. Something I always mean to do and never accomplish.

Fill 'er up!

Isn't it interesting how what we are reading can affect our moods so much???

 

[Lady Lallie]

Wowsa! You are one busy little bee...err...pirate.

Your library must have a really good Disney section, my former library didn't have ANY. I had to get them ALL on inter-library loan. Pffft!

I am DYING to see your haircut. I actually got mine cut and highlighted today. I feel like a new woman! It's amazing what a little bit of pampering can do for yourself.

 

[jmamom]

I'd love to meet up, I'm hoping I get to see you Sunday night at the Rose & Crown. Our ADR is for 4:50, so I might be a little too early for you.
And we are doing the Halloween party Tuesday night, so no crazy Pirates ride for me with the DIS gang. What time are you guys going to be at the GF spa? I might be able to sneak over that way, if its in the afternoon. (we are staying at the Poly, so a little walk on the beach, and I disappear for a while, maybe no one will notice.) Other than that, I don't think your non-planned plans jibed much with our "don't mess with mom's plan" plans. I'll have to go back and look again, but I'm pretty much on Mommy duty the whole week- it took me 8 years to get DH back to Disney World, I'm hoping it won't take that long again. I need to make it easy for him. But, I'll be hanging around the Rose and Crown looking for you - I may not know what your face looks like, but now I know what your hair looks like!

 

[jmamom]

OKay, I just went back and looked at your plans from months ago. Are you still planning on hitting the Tambu lounge Wednesday afternoon? This might be a resort day for us, if I can convince the kids that the Volcano slide is just as good as Blizzard Beach. If thats the case, I could definately work that out.

 

[eandesmom]

Now I'm even more excited, because this is going to look totally cute when it grows out. Good point!!

Alright, everyone, you heard it here.

If I begin a thread solely devoted to this after I finish this ptr, will you all follow me there?

But of course

It is quite freeing, but today I got a little nervous. I had some trouble styling it, since it's my first time. I think perhaps I didn't use enough root lifter. I had a fair amount of mousse going.

Due to my frustration, however, I was able to replicate my hair to the picture I have of the actress who plays Alice Cullen...complete with headband and everything. It is so stinkin' cute.

Ah headbands. I headbands. Nothing fixes bad hair the way they do. Or at least my bad hair! I don't love the pinching behind the ears though. I am so dying to see the hair!

I needed some light reads, and her books are so great for that. I've been reading these very, very heavy vampire novels, and they started to actually get to me. To the point where they put me in a bad mood. I needed some chick lit.

which one's? I am starting to get vampired (and werewolfed, shapeshiftered, telepathiced OUT!) but of course don't have the heart to tell DSD that.

You know, I seriously debated outing myself after this haircut. We'll see.

YOU TEASE!

You know what's funny? I use the word savvy all the time. And my mother and I will use it in normal conversation with each other. Along with aye, and do we have an accord.

Somehow

That isn't surprising.

I love it.

 

[pooh'smate]

TK, I am so glad that you are loving your new haircut. I so wish I could see it in person. I had my haircut like that once before and loved it. I am thinking I may do it again before my vacation.


Do you watch True Blood? If you do then did you realize that Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) is the real life son of Stellan Skarsgard who played Bootstrap Bill in POTC and he was also Bill Anderson in Mama Mia.

 

[All7OfUs]

I meant that I was completely, shall we say awestruck, at the very almost large-as-life Captain himself, that I barely noticed the off-handed mentioning that you had gotten a new hairdo that day. Sounds like you're really enjoying it!! I went and done that (how's that for some good ol' hick?) about 6 months ago. I still love it, and now it's time for a trim to keep it short-ish.

Anyway, hope I've clarified my thought process, since my syntax was faulty, making me sound like an unintelligent "I-need-another-cup-of-coffee" blob.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

So glad you like your new haircut! I'm getting mine done tomorrow night to get ready for Jack....er, I mean vacation. I'm not planning a change though- just freshening up.

Nothing better than a stack of Disney books to thumb through. And I ADORE Meg Cabot. She is funny. I wish I had that kind of creativity inside me - I would love to write a book!! And stay at home in my pjs and still be able to work.

See ya real soon! I love saying that!!

 

[TarzansKat]

Fill 'er up!

That's my girl!!!

Isn't it interesting how what we are reading can affect our moods so much???

Oh, it is so true. I feel so much more light and airy when I read Meg Cabot. Although I do think a lot more about my weight, since a lot of her female leads deal with that.

Wowsa! You are one busy little bee...err...pirate.

Aye!

Your library must have a really good Disney section, my former library didn't have ANY. I had to get them ALL on inter-library loan. Pffft!

I'm lucky, my library is pretty well stocked.

I am DYING to see your haircut. I actually got mine cut and highlighted today. I feel like a new woman! It's amazing what a little bit of pampering can do for yourself.

I'll have to get you some pictures. I don't have any good ones yet.

I'd love to meet up, I'm hoping I get to see you Sunday night at the Rose & Crown. Our ADR is for 4:50, so I might be a little too early for you.

Listen. Is there any chance you'd like to try to have a mini meet before your ADR? This could potentially fit into my schedule no issues. We don't have any plans for that day, other than the two things on my wish list, getting DS on the Donald Boat Ride and listening to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

The only potential flaw in this plan is that it is our first day, I'm not sure how DS will be fairing given that our flight is somewhat early, although not entirely out of the realm of normal for him.

I think I should PM you.

Ah headbands. I headbands. Nothing fixes bad hair the way they do. Or at least my bad hair! I don't love the pinching behind the ears though. I am so dying to see the hair!

Oh, I just got the cutest headbands at Walmart today! I am so excited about them, they're more of like gel type band, and then they have the elastic to go around the back of your head. It looks really cute on. I've been experimenting with different styles to see how it looks, and now I'm really like it. This is hilarious to me, too, because I am a very laidback, don't want to take a lot of time with my hair kind of gal and now I have four different styling products, and all these hair accessories. Thank god my makeup only takes five minutes. I mean who doesn't love a five minute face?

which one's? I am starting to get vampired (and werewolfed, shapeshiftered, telepathiced OUT!) but of course don't have the heart to tell DSD that.

It's the Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. I really, really liked them initially, but the later I get into the series the more...how shall I put this delicately...graphic the novels get. And I'm not just talking about violence. Think as far opposite from Disney as you can get. Savvy?

YOU TEASE!

Pirate.

Somehow

That isn't surprising.

I love it.

TK, I am so glad that you are loving your new haircut. I so wish I could see it in person. I had my haircut like that once before and loved it. I am thinking I may do it again before my vacation.

I wish I could meet you in person too.

Do you watch True Blood? If you do then did you realize that Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) is the real life son of Stellan Skarsgard who played Bootstrap Bill in POTC and he was also Bill Anderson in Mama Mia.

I do watch True Blood (just started this season), but I did not know that piece of trivia. I mean, I knew Stellan played Bootstrap Bill and that he was in Mammai Mia, but I didn't know that "Eric" is his soon. I can't wait to tell my husband, we love stuff like that.

I meant that I was completely, shall we say awestruck, at the very almost large-as-life Captain himself, that I barely noticed the off-handed mentioning that you had gotten a new hairdo that day. Sounds like you're really enjoying it!! I went and done that (how's that for some good ol' hick?) about 6 months ago. I still love it, and now it's time for a trim to keep it short-ish.

Anyway, hope I've clarified my thought process, since my syntax was faulty, making me sound like an unintelligent "I-need-another-cup-of-coffee" blob.

AHA!!!! I understand you now!

And do not worry. Given that we know what your beloved children have done to your brain capacity, I'm willing to cut you some slack. Especially since the other day, at work, I walked from one side of the teller line to the other and in the process of walking there, couldn't remember what I went over there for. And so it begins.

So glad you like your new haircut! I'm getting mine done tomorrow night to get ready for Jack....er, I mean vacation. I'm not planning a change though- just freshening up.

Isn't it funny how we all get all spiffied up? Have to look good in those vacation photos!!!

Nothing better than a stack of Disney books to thumb through. And I ADORE Meg Cabot. She is funny. I wish I had that kind of creativity inside me - I would love to write a book!! And stay at home in my pjs and still be able to work.

I would like to write a novel. I really need to start keeping a journal, I love to write.

See ya real soon! I love saying that!!

WOO HOO!!!

 

[TarzansKat]

"And then, they made me their chief."







Alright, I don't have too much to say tonight, guys. Just that I am mega excited! Eleven days! Pretty soon I'll be doing the single digit dance, oh yeah!

I was a little disheartened about my new do yesterday, but this morning, I got up early, and I was able to really spend some time styling it. It came out so nice, all my co-workers loved it, and quite a few of my customers commented as well. I felt oh so stylish and chic. I also bought a few hair accessories (wrap bands) at Walmart today, and I can't wait to wear them. They're comfy and look so cool. One may even become part of my MNSSHP costume. Not that that really tells you anything about it. Because I am a tease. Pirate.

I also managed to go through all the tolietries. Pretty soon I'll be making a list of whatever we're missing and getting that all taken care of. I'm thinking of asking DH to grab the suitcases from our storage unit so that I can start packing this weekend. Our temperatures have turned cooler, so we won't be missing our summer clothes.

Well, that's all folks. There's more I want to say, but I am just beat. Have a good night!





ELEVEN DAYS!!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I love Capt Jack with those eyes painted on his face. They just look so cool!

It has gotten down right frigid here! Brrrr!
