And for the record, Nebo's pre trip babbling is as long as my entire TR!

 

[Mousemom234]

<sigh> Now I'm not allowed to read this Trip Report Report at night.

I've woken up the entire house with laughter

Thank you, Pkondz...........

Paper is done, can I get a woot! woot!

I have to create my webpage through the university's, unviersities, website.

Oh, great now I am doing it.

It is not difficult, but time consuming and I don't really have to have it done until the end of January in time for my scheduled interview.

My last two classes are Wed, thurs this week and the instructors wnat, want,,,us to bring our laptops to show our progress.

Ok, I guess I will show my cover page cause I am way too busy with paper writing and lesson planning and teaching, to even look at it. Those that are not excellerated and for real graduating on Saturday can show us cause their interviews are next week.

They are genral ed teachers and I'm special ed, so since I'm special it is not getting done by tomorrow.

Us special ed teachers get to walk with the gen ed teachers so we don't have to wait for spring ceremonies. In five weeks I'll be officially done.

Woot! Sounds like you got it licked, and if not licked, a plan to get it licked. I'm glad you are just about done. Just keep swimming....

Congrats on getting the paper done, just in time to stress out about Christmas!!!

And I'm back just under the wire! I have a little reading to do, but hopefully I can catch up tonight because Nebo and Smidgy are leaving on a jet plane to come home and I just can't be a no-show!

I've been in the new baby loop......feed, diaper, get baby to sleep, wash, rinse, repeat plus I failed to remember the number of phone calls, emails, and visits that happen when the new baby arrives. It's been great and we are blessed to have so many family and friends but every now and then bumming it in my pjs is so nice. And guess what.....that's what I have gotten to do this evening! So woot and hoo for me!!!

I have pictures of DD to share as well. The first was taken on 11/25/12 so she was ten days old. Okay,so it's going to be huge, but we don't need to pretend that she was a wee little lass when she was born do we? And hey, the pictures are late enough as it is, you don't want me to size them and delay further, right?

The next picture is of our own........BAT BABY!!

DD loves to push off on your lap and hang upside down. I guess she really liked the comfort of the Buzz ute and liked hanging upside down so when you hold her she pushes with her feet and head to hang off your lap. She is so funny! It's obvious she is a Nebo TR baby! She fits right in with the rest of us here!

 

[buzz1121]

Excellent idea! Except everyone should chip in and get me one... plus airfare and accommodations in Florida.

Nebo isn't technologically adept, so I'll volunteer to transcribe his comments and post the live updates.

I know, I know... you're all thinking, "That pkondz, he's amazing. So selfless, so humble, so willing to pitch in and help out. Truly a man among men."

You, of course, would be right.

That is true........beating a dead horse here because I care so much, but not all men know the lyrics to Katy Perry songs!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Paper is done, can I get a woot! woot!

WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!

But holy cow, Mony, you walk in 3 or 4 days and then STILL have 5 weeks left? This is like the never ending curriculum

 

[buzz1121]

I don't know about Smidgy, but I can definitely say that Nebo is already a little touched.

Great, I laughed so hard I woke DD!! Oh well, it's DH's turn anyway!!

 

[buzz1121]

We need to start a new discussion.

What have you read recently that was amazing?

I've read "Code Name: Verity" by Wein. WWII story. A spy's diary of her "confession" to the Nazis. You think she is giving everything away, til you read the second half of the book. A real page-turner!

Next?

This sounds really good Marie! I'm adding it to my list. I'm reading "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest", the final book in the trilogy. Next up...."Gai Jin" by James Clavell.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Buzz, what a beautiful baby. Congrats!
And hanging out in PJ's is one of the joys of life, so YAY!

 

[buzz1121]

I read "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Really good book about a missing woman set in NE Missouri. Currently reading the second Game of Thrones books. I have not watched the show but the first book knocked my socks off! Lots of intrigue and backstabbing.

Jill in CO

Jill, I'm getting the set of the Game of Throne books from DH for Christmas. I can't wait to read them!!

 

[buzz1121]

Okay, I'm going to preface this with a note of warning. If Nebo manages to hurt himself again on this trip, several things will result.

1. I will be disapointed. Disapointed that once again, he's gotten himself hurt. I don't want him to get hurt. I want him to have fun. Pain free, concussionless fun. Yeah it makes for an interesting TR, but Geez Louise! The guy's due for an uneventful (at least from a pain stand point) trip just once.

2. If he does get hurt... I am going to feel like a total and complete schlub. So I'm going out on a limb here. And the only reason I'm doing that is because I really, really, really (no! really!) am hoping that he has a fantastic trip.

So...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smidgy! Where's my bathroom bag?

It was Thrusday night and I could not find my batjroom bag.
For those
of you who don't know, my bathroom bag is the ba where I put all my essentials for living.

Vikes, Ibuprofen, camera, hemorroid pillow, eye medication,,, it's all in there.

And I can't find it!

I need to finish packing and get some sleep because the cab is coming at 5:45

in the morning

as in am



That llooks weird doesn't it? "as in am" Ever see the movie Sam I am with Sean Penn? That's what it looks like.


Where was I?

5:45 in the a. m.

That's better,,,,, but I cant find my bathroom bag!


It's important. Back in July of 2011 we,,, okay, okay, I left it behind and we drove 161 miles before I realized it.
We turned around.


Smidgy shouts up from downstairs, "It's down here by the door with my bags."

"Wjat's it doing down there, when I'm up here looking for it?" I ask.

She says, "I didn't want you to wonder where it was, so I put it down here where we won't forget it when the cab comes."

I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset. I was looking all over for it and she had it all along,,, but I can't be angry,,, I'm going to Disneyworld! Soon. Very soon.

Too soon! Time for bed.


A fe hours later, I'm awake and staring at the clock. 2:15. in the,,, morning.

Sad I am.

I really wanted to sleep all the way till 4:45,,, but I'm awake.

Oh, sure. I tried to fall back asleep but it wasn't going to happen. So I got up and went downstairs.

I lied down on the couch knowng that I wouldn't fall asleep.

...

"So are you going to get up?"

Huh, what do you know. I fell aspleep after all.

A while later and there's a knock at the door.

NOPe, not the cab. It's my buddy whos going to watch the house while we're away.


He looks surprsisingly awake for 5:30. I think I hate him a little bit right now because I feel like I need just a bit more sleep.

10, 15 hours should do it.

Maybe the plane will crash and i'll be ina coma and I can get some more sllep.

No, no, no, no injuries this trip.


Before we finish showing my buddy where the catfood and litter is, the cab is outside waiting.

We grab the bags and pile into the cab. Yes even the bathroom bag.


What can I say about the flight down? It didn't crash, so right there that's a plus, right?

I was even able to relax enough that I could le go of one armrest for a bit in the middle of the flight.

Smidgy slept.


Coward! Escaping into slumberland instead of facing my fears!


A million years later we land in MCO. No magical depress this time. We're going to the DoubleTree Inn this time, remembr?

The DoubleTree is really nice. We ususally stay at the cheapest motel we can find but not this time.
It has a Starbucks inside. Then again,,, if the world ends all that will be left will be cockroaches and Starbucks.

I think the roaches will be running the starbucks and they wont be able to understand the sizes either.


Our room isn't ready yet so we settle in by the pool. It's too cool for swimming so nobody's around. It's quiet. There's lungers around three sides of the pool.

No yellow jackets.
Both kinds.

We put our bags down, sit down, put our feet up and,,,

the cell phone does not ring!

We relaxed for about an hour before our room was ready.

The room's nice. comfortable beds with blue and withe bedding.

But we're within walking distance of Universal and some things can't wait.

Oh my word Pkondz!! This is a work of art! But you know there is a distinct difference.....you had to think and work to do what comes naturally to Nebo!

 

[buzz1121]

Buzz, what a beautiful baby. Congrats!
And hanging out in PJ's is one of the joys of life, so YAY!

Aww Marita....I wish you could meet her in person! Maybe on the next trip or so, if you can come up for air from the workload.

Seriously, I love bumming the day away in my pjs. Anything but that is the pits when you are def-con 7 sleep deprived. My posts may start to resemble Nebo's soon!

 

[buzz1121]

Monica, Congratulations on finishing the paper! And those five weeks are going to fly by!

I am so excited for you!!

 

[Thumper_Man]

Got to spend time with Nebo and Smidgy again today. Spent the morning with them at DHS. They abandoned us for some pool time. I guess I can't blame them. Last full day here before they head home tomorrow. It was nice to meet them and I hope we get to see them again in the future.

Oh yeah. Looked like Nebo's rash was just about gone.

 

[Thumper_Man]

What a beautiful baby Buzz. Nebo will be happy that you finally posted a picture. He told me to tell you there better be one by the time he gets home. Or else he wasn't going to finish the report until you did. Thanks for saving the TR. Although Ponzi seems to be handling it just fine.

 

[pkondz]

Let's see, since I'm pretending to write the TR, the least I could do is pretend to do shout outs, no?

When Nebo gets back, he'll have nothing left to do.

Of course, we'll get the real story and a) I'm sure it will be more entertaining and b) it will be written in the much more entertaining Nebo style.

But until then, YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME!!!! MWAHAHAHA!



sorry.

Ponzi,
Your writing as Nebo is fab - just the right amount for typos and commas.
I am enjoying reading your TR. I think you have nailed the Nebostyle -
keep up the good work !

great job ponzi! hope t-man or nebo catch site of the dragon and post a video or pic.

Thank you so much. You really didn't have to say that (yes you do). Really, no thanks are necessary (yes they are). I do it just for the fun of it (I'm really doing it for the accolades, so keep 'em coming people). I don't expect to get anything out of it (in lieu of cash, your unending love and adulation will suffice). I'm just your humble servant (bow down before me and grovel!)


too much?

Paper is done, can I get a woot! woot!

Absolutely! Woot! Woot!

I have to create my webpage through the university's, unviersities, website.

Oh, great now I am doing it.

It's catching, isn't it? Kind of like a bad virus.

My last two classes are Wed, thurs this week and the instructors wnat, want,,,us to bring our laptops to show our progress.

And an excellent use of the multi commoa,,,, comma.

And for the record, Nebo's pre trip babbling is as long as my entire TR!

That's okay, 'cause his ego is twice as big as anyone else's. So that works.

<sigh> Now I'm not allowed to read this Trip Report Report at night.

I've woken up the entire house with laughter

Thank you, Pkondz...........

Ahhhh.... basking in the glow of worship.

Ok, ok... just kidding. It makes my day though when someone tells me I made 'em laugh, so thanks!

And I'm back just under the wire! I have a little reading to do, but hopefully I can catch up tonight

Welcome back! Nothing much happened here while you were absent. At least I didn't notice anything... Anyone notice anything? No?

There ya go.

every now and then bumming it in my pjs is so nice. And guess what.....that's what I have gotten to do this evening! So woot and hoo for me!!!

Woot for you too. And... just guessing here... Are your PJ's yellow top with pink flannel pants?

Just a shot in the dark.

I have pictures of DD to share as well. The first was taken on 11/25/12 so she was ten days old. Okay,so it's going to be huge, but we don't need to pretend that she was a wee little lass when she was born do we? And hey, the pictures are late enough as it is, you don't want me to size them and delay further, right?

Right. And she's absolutely adorable. Must take after her mom.

The next picture is of our own........BAT BABY!!

I call foul on the next picture! I know photoshop and that pic of Bat Baby is obviously photoshoped! Yeah, sure she was on your lap. Well I know the truth!

Try to fool me, will ya?

She is so funny! It's obvious she is a Nebo TR baby! She fits right in with the rest of us here!

That is true........beating a dead horse here because I care so much, but not all men know the lyrics to Katy Perry songs!

Sad news to report. I am no longer on probation with my man card.


It's been revoked.

The new 007 movie came out and I was stoked to go see it. So last week I was at the theatre and saw...


Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part 2

Not only that, but of the two hour movie... there was a good 10 to 15 minute stretch that I actually... dare I say it... enjoyed.

Farewell man card, you shall be missed.

Oh, and I still haven't seen Bond, James Bond.

Great, I laughed so hard I woke DD!! Oh well, it's DH's turn anyway!!

Sweet! More kudos for moi! Thanks!

 

[pkondz]

Oh my word Pkondz!! This is a work of art! But you know there is a distinct difference.....you had to think and work to do what comes naturally to Nebo!

Thanks! And yes, it's true. I did have to think and work at it. And Nebo doesn't think or work.

Remember, you said it, not me.

Got to spend time with Nebo and Smidgy again today. Spent the morning with them at DHS. They abandoned us for some pool time. I guess I can't blame them. Last full day here before they head home tomorrow. It was nice to meet them and I hope we get to see them again in the future.

Glad you guys had a chance to meet them, I want details in your TR later!

Oh yeah. Looked like Nebo's rash was just about gone.

That's good... Although I understood it to be gone only where you would normally be able to see it. Seems to have moved... umm.... south.
