I haven't come up with a name for my report yet, so I figured I would just saddle up and ride! The perfect name will smack my in the face when I'm not looking!

In case you haven't figured it out, my name is "So are you late, too?" It fits me because I am always late. I seem to function with a sense of urgency all of the time, even when I am not late. My family does not. I have two modes: gone and asleep. My family's modes: snail's pace and lolligag.

I have been trying to write this trip report since March. There just aren't many interesting details because we (meaning I) were too focused on conquering the World. Notice that I don't use the term "going commando." I'm not sure how some of you can use that term to describe your trip, as it has another meaning outside the DIS world (in a far off alter universe). Going commando means that you are not wearing underwear. I'll wait while you go look it up......


Oh good, you're back! As is customary with any good trip report and basic southern good manners (some refer to this as good rearing or home training), I will introduce everyone. Notice, Utah Mama, that I said this is going to be a good trip report!

Me, 35, control freak. I have adult ADD, and OCDPD, obsessive compulsive Disney planning disorder. I love my family and all things Carolina: Hurricanes, Panthers, and Tarheels.

DH, 33, nerd, geek, seriously askew. He will not wear alien green Mickey heads. Instead, he will go with sonic boom or some other variation of green as he is, after all, Sirius Lee Askew! Like Twinkie Mama's hubby, Sirius is also a southern belle. I mean that with lots of love! I was watching a rerun of the Newlywed Game one day, and the wives had to pick one word to describe their hubby: princess, precious, or prissy. I said, do I have to pick just one? Now, don't get me wrong. He's a 6'2", 250 lb manly man, who served in the NC National Guard. Some nice people at a Metallica concert in Atlanta thought he played for the Falcons and wanted his autograph. He doesn't wear pink or purple, just doesn't like to get his hands dirty. So, I call him precious or princess. Plus this really gets his goat, and sets the stage for some needed banter! For this TR, I'll call him P3.

DS9, geek in training. Actually, DS9 has a mild case of Asperger's. This is the high functioning form of autism, AKA, the engineer's disease. We first noticed that DS9 was special when he was two. He was sitting playing with a toy very intently and someone popped a balloon. He never looked up. I, of course, panic and think my child has hearing loss. I also thought my little genius could read at 2. I could show him a page of a book, and he would "read" it word for word. Actually, he had just memorized the page and was just reciting....good news for him when he gets to the Canterbury Tales! Ok, so DS9 is full of useless facts, such as all the counties the I40 goes through in North Carolina and their county seats. He lacks a lot of common sense and thinks that Stitch is actually loose in the Magic Kingdom...he was almost in tears. When I come up with a good nickname, I'll edit this report!

DS6, Mr. Misunderstood. I haven't figured out what is wrong with this child yet. He gets most of our attention, but still acts out. He'll argue with a tree, but is the most loving kid in the world. He loves to clean, cook, do yard work, and is dying to mow the grass. That will make P3 happy! He loves anything with wheels. He just told me to add Scrubbing Bubbles to the grocery list. Have you seen that commercial for the new Scrubbing Bubbbles self cleaning shower thingy? Oh, you should have seen him drooling! I guess we will call him Mr. Clean.

DD6, princess, owner of all things pink, whiney hiney, but for this TR, we will call her, Felony. You'll find out why later! Felony is a girlie girl, and a pink snob. If it's not pink, she'll have no part of it. She'll skip 20 Easter eggs to get to the one pink one to put in her pink basket. What are my chances of getting her to wear lime? Actually pretty good, because I don't put up with whiney spoiled pink butt! Actually, Felony is very easy going, and not spoiled, she just knows what she likes: pink She measures the world in cuteness and is very into shoes. Like I said, a girlie girl, princess, precious, prissy. This goes back to DH's description. Me, tomboy, no prissy genes. Hmm, where oh where did she get it from?

Ok, go take a potty break! Up next:
Star date: March 2, 2006
Mission: Hey, let's go to Disney World for spring break (Mar. 25-31) Can we pull it off?

I don't even like Star Trek! Oh no, the geek patrol is after me!
 
So glad to finally get to read this. You had me until the tarheel thing. Pleassse tell me that P3 graduated from State????? If not, I'll read your report anyway... my DH... no not so much. He told a friend of mine who came over to do laundry that she was welcome; as long as nothing had the UNC-CH logo... he wasn't kidding.

So where is the next installment?
 
S'Latetoo(slurred)!!! Girlfriend! IT. IS. AWESOME. SO. FAR!!!!!! Yeahhhhh, I am so happy to find this. As usual, I'm after Twinkie. No, I do not follow her around like a puppy. No that often! I notice (with my hawk-like reflexes) you are a bit older than precious,prissy,princess. How Demi/ Ashton of you! ;)
I love your kids already. LOVE your girly girl! Since you are a tomboy and I am girly, can we trade? My precious,"sweet" DD2 for yours? I'll throw in a couple cats to sweeten the pot!
I used to date guys UNTIL I found out they liked Star Trek! Back in the day. My DH is just the first guy to come along that hated ST as much as I did. A match made in heaven. Or something.

Thats a LONG potty break!
Did you fall in?????

Love You Oodles!!
UtahMama

PS What is a tarheel?
 
a tarheel is someone who went to a certain famous school with the light blue apparel- now known through out the USA because Micheal Jordan went there....

In NC it is the place to go for liberal arts, pre med, pre law....
whereas NC State University (agricultural, engineering, pre-vet) is the Wolfpack. I went there so that is almost like Micheal Jordan, right??? Humor me, please. I am famous- in very small circles.

anyway it is the old ag-engineering vs liberal art-future doctors sort of rivalry that most states have- don't know about Utah... aren' t you guys one big happy family, academically speaking?

no apologies to so-r-u-late also because I totally intend to run amok on this thread....
 

Sore-u-late-too? Yes WE have taken over this TR. Feel free to jump in at any time with trip related goodies! :rotfl: Kind of kidding...running amuck on your novelette will be fun! We wont CLOG it up too bad. Chatty Pattys!!! :grouphug:

Speaking of "cloggs", are you OK?
You've been, um, in the potty for a while.
Pants fit better?

Gidderdone.
UtahMama Your #2 fan!
 
Calm down, calm down! What's all the commotion? Sorry to run off and leave my peeps waiting so long! I had to endure the two hour sweat-a-thon also known as Pop Warner football practice. The next two weeks of that ought to prep me for Disney!
 
U Mama,

When you get them young, they are easier to train!

Why does Demi Moore have to look so cute with short hair? i have naturally curly hair, and when it's sort, I look like a brown haired Ronald MacDonald! I sooo hope that 80's big hair comes back in so I'll be fashionable once again.
 
Where is the rest of the DIS? This is funny stuff people.

Oh good, you're back!


Sirius Lee Askew! Like Twinkie Mama's hubby, Sirius is also a southern belle. For this TR, I'll call him P3.

DD6, princess, owner of all things pink, whiney hiney, but for this TR, we will call her, Felony.

Just a few of my favorite parts.So far.

Hey PrincessL- why can you spell just fine on trip reports other than my own????? hmm..... it's all good sweetie- I too have attended public school in the great state of TN (land of the free and the brave)... it could explain a lot about both of us.

Rul82 baby- I have had the same thoughts on the whole going commando thing. So they will appear in a later trip report of mine. But it is not copying. Really- ;)

so it is past kiddo bedtime in Raleigh so why isn't the next installment up?
 
Ok, where were we? Oh yes, It's March 2, and I'm tired of hearing about all the cool places everyone is going for spring break. So, being the spoiled person that I am, I cross my arms, stomp my foot, and decide I want to be cool too! I had looked into going to Disney last year, but our 1995 Dodge Caravan probably wouldn't make it past South of the Border, and I'd have to spend a little more time with Pedro than I wanted to. Now don't get me wrong, I like SOB, it's nice and bright with lots of neon and flashy lights! The billboards are great. It's enough to keep you stimulated through half of South Carolina. No offense, SC, but your stretch of 95 is boring! And I don't like not being able to see what's happening on the other side of the highway!

Anyhow, no trip in 2005. We have not actually had a real vacation as a family, mostly because we didn't have the dough. Ok, so I start looking into Disney. A few hours later, I regain consciousness, and try to get over the sticker shock. We aren't exactly in the po house, but I'm not madame money bags either. So, here is where my OCDPD started. I researched and researched and researched and researched and well you get the picture. I read everything on Mousesavers, Disney on a Dime, checked out UG from the library, sent my children out with a coffee can (just kidding). But, I did send them to grandaddy's to "earn" some money for Disney. I'm sure that Mr. Clean earned his pay, but not DS9 and Felony. Felony probably put up her hand and said, "Uh, hello, princesses don't clean." Cool it mini P3, what about Cinderella?

Whoa, get back on the horse! My focus became, "how cheap can we go to Disney?" Ok, value resorts, that should do it. So after searching an hour for Disney's 800 number, I realize they no longer have a toll free number. What is up with that? You mean I have to pay for a phone call to book a trip? After pushing 10,000 buttons I finally get to a human. Welcome back to Disney, yeah, yeah, look, I have already spent 10 cents stop all the chit chat. I need to book a room for Mar. 25- March 31 at one of the value resorts. I have 5 people ages 6, 6, 8, and two adults. What?? Why can't 5 fit in that room? Fire code my butt! You mean to tell me that if there is a fire, and we are running for the door, that a crib will not block our exit, but the 45 lb line backer princess will hinder our escape? Honestly! No, I don't want a moderate at $135 per night! (Ode to Twinkie Mama) Don't you know who I am?

Once I get started, I just keep typing and typing. If I was talking, I would be long winded. Since I'm typing, am I long fingered?

Up next, do we sleep in the car, or pitch a tent?
 
Princess L, thanks for the shout out!

TM: If you are reading this, then you have probably already read the next chapter!!
 
Sirius, get off the phone. I need to turn on some music so I can be trippin for my trippie!
 
Now where the heck is U Mama?

No. I actually Figured we are a 2 degree family... She has 2(BS+MBA) and I have 2 summer sessions but yes at NCSU but 0 degrees(unless you count deodorant or body temp which DW swears is over 100 at alltimes....). I had the pleasure of sleeping in Dr. Long's Chem 101 Lecture in Summer school back in '92 getting an A btw. I felt it was a repeat of HS Chem and I have good recall. As far as Sports allegiances I would say the following 1) Die Hard Carolina Hurricanes Fan. 2) Recreational Carolina Panthers Fan. 3) Preferences to the following Collegiate Sports teams (not in any order): Duke Basketball, UNC Basketball, NC State Basketball(with Jimmie V or Herb Sendak as the couch... the decision on Lowe's Character is still up in the Air... If I like his character then I may be a NC State Basketball fan again), UNC Football, NC State Football eventhough sometimes Chuck's breathy sounding voice gets on my nerves. 4) USA Olympic teams but that one may just be my Patriot speaking...

But as to my family collegiate pedigree
Dad - State Fan
Mom - ACC Fan
1st Step Mom - State Fan
2nd Step Mom (Dad's Current Wife) - State Fan

so don't hold it against me if I as far as college sports go am more like my Mom.. btw 2nd Step and DW are both more sports fans than I. With 1 exception... DW and I aren't going to fight over who the Bigger Canes fan is. I think she even said that she was happy there was a sport I would watch more than if the TV happened to be on that channel. I guess she doesn't want to alienate that slim peice of a sportsman in me...

And I disagree with the P3 tag she has applied to me. I am a nerd/geek... I the poster child for the Nintendo Generation...





DON'T PANIC
 
Rulate2- Two errors. One Major, one not: I'm :wave2: the one who said "DONT YOU KNOW WHO I AM" (see "Top10RYAATDB" On Welcome to DIS Page 8 post#113 :thumbsup2 )
I am crushed, Twinkie got all the glory and recognition for that quote. The HONOR!

The minor error (not even really qualifies as an error, just a confusing thought) Doesn't Pedro live in Preston Idaho 50 ish miles north of me? Him and Napolean making boondoggles? In the potato state?

YOUR DD princess: was meant to be my baby! Ok, I trade Norah, 2 cats, and a autographed photo of Donny Osmond?! :teeth:

Keep em coming sweetie cakes !

It just gets freakier and freakier! I slept through Chem 101 the summer of '93. I mean it had AC and the dorm did not.

Now I am up in the air as to whether or not you camped- Southern Belle's don't camp but National Guardsmen definately do.....

maybe yes camp with a hookup for the gameboy/cube/atari/whatever????

U Mama,

I sincerely apologize!!! How terrible of me to give the wrong shout out! Like that airline commercial where the singer says "What's up Detroit?" but they aren't in Detroit! Please forgive me!

P3 is finding you a link for South of the Border!

I'm glad Utah Mama is in da house! Especially since I've been listnin' to my best old school rap to refresh the vocab!

It was either Nellie or 50 cent that wore a Tarheel jersey in one of their videos. I just knew rappin U Mama would have known this fact? BTW what is a Ute?
