Our "Do we really have to wait 'til March?" PTR

I think she's finally starting to appreciate all that goes into one of our trips since she did help with at least the food part of this one and saw how annoying it was to try to please everyone. Even she was complaining about her friends. lol She's more forgiving than I am though.

Of course she is, as a teenager they are much more forgiving. I remember those days well, and I have teenagers so I see it.

yea, my little Libra has always been like that. She avoids conflict like the plague. haha

 

[kaoden39]

It's easier to get along than fight says a taurus.

You two and your astrology whatever mumbo jumbo ...

LOL.. poor Jazz. Aren't you a September baby too?

I'm a scorpio and have no issues with conflict plus I'm stubborn. haha

Anyway, back to the good stuff.

Here's the "happy" trio.

Our first visitor at GK.

Noemi was keeping her distance because his hat was poking her in the eye. lol

The light coming in throught the window casued this one to be dark.

Fawn and Tink both gave them crap about the lack of faerie pins. We hadn't noticed we were all wearing black until Fawn mentioned not getting the memo. lol Fawn was all kinds of interested in their pins and what talent they were.

Tink was mad because none of them had a Tink pin yet. The kid corrected that at the little Pixie Hollow store. haha

And just because it's pretty and quiet back there.. the court of angels.

 

[kaoden39]

Great marketing idea for selling the pins. Get the fairies to nag about them.

Tink all but stamped her foot over the lack of Tink pins. It was actually pretty funny. Fawn got all "hurt" when she asked who their favorite faerie was and the girls all said Tink. Well duh!

Actually I think I like Fawn or Rosetta better but she didn't ask me. lol

That fits Tinks personality. I have not seen the fairy movies so I have no clue who any of the others are. Maybe I should study up on it before I go.

It was super cute and I got a pic of Noemi sort of turning away like she'd been dismissed. The girls enjoyed their visit to Pixie Hollow.

Yes Jazz, you should watch the movie(s). They're cute.

Today was a bummer. I'm ready to get on a plane and go back. It's finally set in, again, that I have to be part of the real world and the worst part of that it?.... I ate my last little piece of Tiger Butter today. I did discover yesterday that my kid doesn't like it though so I've officially found a safe treat to bring home. I feel like the seagulls. lol (mine, mine, mine)

On that note, I found out a couple of days ago that my 20 year reunion is tentatively set for August. It's freaking expensive to fly into Colorado Springs. I'm tempted to fly into Denver and rent a car if I can stay with my BF from HS. I haven't asked her yet. If I fly into the Springs, she can probably pick me up and redeliver me to the airport. However, then I won't have a car to go up and visit my dad. SO, if I have to rent a car anyway, I might as well save some money and fly into Denver right? So, now I jsut need them to set the dates for sure. I know I'm not the only one coming from out of state. I'd drive, but it's 13 hours and I have zero interest in that.

Twenty year reunion wow. I know I wouldn't want to drive that drive. Argh not at all. I am not overly fond of the drive from Fairfield to Disneyland and that is only about 412 miles from home.

I know right? It's about 6 hours to DLR from here and that seems like it takes forever. 13 is simply out of the question, especially by myself. My mom would have a coronary before I got there. lol

My cell phone would blow up too. I cannot even imagine. Maybe you can find a cheap flight.

I'm hopeful. I'm trying not to put the cart before the horse. They have a tentative weekend. Until they finalize the dates, it doesn't do me a lot of good to look.

I currently have these options.

1) Fly into ***. It's running about $270 RT. I can probably stay with my BFF from HS but I haven't asked her yet and she can most likely play chauffeur for the weekend.

2) I can still fly into ***, rent a car and get a room close to wherever the events will happen.

3) I can fly into DEN saving myself about $100, rent a car, either stay with BFF or get a room.

4) Fly into DEN, rent a car, stay at hotel by events on 27th. See my dad on morning of 28th, do afternoon/evening events, drive to Denver. Return rental car, stay in hotel by airport and catch early flight home on Sunday.

It all makes me tired just thinking about it. Chances are good I'll just bite the bullet and fly into ***. I'll never hear the end of it if I don't go see my dad while I'm there though. lol

I am the type that would fly into Denver and drive. So I am thinking option 4.

My BFF from CO is supposed to call me today. I hope to have a preliminary reunion discussion with her. I really don't want to have to fly into Denver. I'd never dream of making someone drive all the way up there to get me and I hate the thought of getting lost in Denver.

I talked to my mom yesterday. I think she's annoyed with my dad (again...lol) but she said she sees no reason why I should feel obligated to drive all the way up the mountain to see him when I'm really only there for a day or so. He's not the reason I'm going after all. I can see that. My sister and I have both been here for at least the past 6 years (I can't remember when she moved here) and he has yet to make any effort to come visit and we've all asked repeatedly. He wouldn't even come down when the kid graduated.

Not having to visit your Dad simplifies every thing for sure. And I can understand not wanting to drive from Denver that could be lonely. Maybe flight costs will go down. And maybe your bff will have some good ideas.

My step dad visits CO most often of all of us. He says the $270 is a good price for the Springs. He says I might see $250 but that's about as low as it goes. lol

My BFF didn't call yesterday. I'm sure life got in the way. I'll email her here in a few. I think she's just getting to work now and dealing with all the kiddos first thing on a Monday morning has to be hectic.

The reunion committee is apparently set on those dates and is considering a specific bar on the Friday night. It's apparently right downtown and my step dad says it's the one they go to while the hill climb cars are on display downtown before the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

 

[kaoden39]

Don't you hate it when real life gets in the way?

 

[wvnative]

I do. lol It happens to me way more often than I care to admit. hehe

Hopefully she gets a chance to answer my email over lunch. Not that it's super pressing or anything.
