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

[kaoden39]

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.

No, not pressing but important to you.

Actually, I was reading her FB last night and I think they're on Spring Break and on a trip to NM. lol I'll wait for her to get back. haha No sense in interrupting her vaca with this.

Ooh you mean people go places other than Disney? Oh no say it isn't so.

While she does have the Disney gene (she's a Pooh fan) yes, she does. Apparently she had planned to go to Moab UT but there is some big to do up there this week so she opted to feed her other vice instead. She's watching the Rockies play in NM. lol

My mom keeps trying to get me to go somewhere else for Spring Break. She does not have the Disney gene. hehe

Sometimes it skips a generation.

Yea, my sister doesn't have it either. lol Whether she'll admit it or not she is a little clone of our mom in most aspects.It amuses me how we both picked up different traits.

Luckily my kid has the gene. Hopefully she'll pass it on to her kid(s) one day.

So, I think I've made a decision about the reunion. I don't really want to have to take a half day off to travel on Friday so I'm gonna skip the meet and greet at the bar. I'm not really a drinker anyway and that's not how I want to reacquaint myself with people I haven't seen in two decades. I can fly out early on Saturday morning and get there in time for the family thing. If my BFF doesn't have room for me at her house, I'll stay at the Crowne Plaza where the dinner will be. Then I'll fly out sometime on Sunday afternoon to come home. The planner thinks that he'll hopefully have per person costs by the end of the week.

 

[kaoden39]

I am with you about missing the bar scene. I think that it is just not a a fun way to reacquaint yourself with your friends. The other way sounds more fun to me.

My sister claims to have it but she doesn't really.

 

[wvnative]

Yea, it does me too.

You can usually tell who really gets it when you're at the park(s) too. lol

Stupid GS cookies. I've been doing such a good job of ignoring the fact that they were there. I always get a chocolate craving after lunch. lol Then I had to move them to get to the tissue box. Needless to say, my Samoas wont tlast long now. haha

Not quite sure what I'll do when the craving hits later though.

Oh no. I have been so good about not buying any GS cookies at all this year. Yay me!!

I made the mistake opf asking the kid what she wanted me to order. We ended up with 10 boxes. I am on the last of three boxes of Samoas. We've only opened one box of Tagalongs and she's on her second box of thin mints. Have I mentioned they freeze well? lol

Next year I may still buy ten boxes, but we won't get more than the one box of tagalongs. haha

I have not bought one single box from the grocery store stands though. I'll jstu be out of Samoas when this box is gone. Now, if I could just break the Lays Lightly Salted habit I'd be all set.

 

[kaoden39]

Well, I was bad today. I went to the It's-It outlet today and bought a mixed box of mint and classic It's-It. Oh my goodness.

 

[onelilspark]

I love frozen thin mints. Easily the best idea ever.

 

[wvnative]

Sadly, I am not a fan of thin mints. I can eat one or two a year and be perfectly content. Of course, I am also not a fan of mint in general.

Yesterday it was really windy hare. I spent an hour and a half trying to connect to the school's website to check on my homework due dates with no luck. I had to drop a couple of htings off at mom's yesterday so I used her internet while I was there and it pulled right up. I have to think the wind was affecting my wireless signal.

 

[kaoden39]

Thin mints are okay. I prefer homemade oatmeal cookies.

 

[wvnative]

MMM.. oatmeal cokies are one of my favorites. lol

I picked up strawberries and some sponge cake at the store the other night. I think we'll have strawberry shortcake for dessert tonight.

Oh that sounds wonderful. I am going the lazy route tonight, WBG and NC are off to a concert tonight so I am ordering pizza in. Woohoo!!

 

[wvnative]

Haha.. we ended up ordering in pizza last night too. No dessert. I have the strawberries all ready to go though. We're both still stuffed from the enchiladas we had tonight so maybe we'll just dessert for breakfast tomorrow. lol

Our pizza was really good too. But, alas no desert for us, I am a lazy mom. Plus we were waiting for birthday cup cakes and ice cream.

 

[wvnative]

Mmmm.... the strawberry shortcake was good.

However, the pineapple upside down cake was better. lol I'm so glad it's so easy to make. haha

O.k. so now I'm having a thought (or 50). I'm thinking that if we do go to Anaheim in October, maybe we'll do something different in March. I know, I know. That's blasphemy. I am feeling the need to show her more of the world than that special little creche of Anaheim. (I am also pricing a San Diego/Anaheim trip too just in case...lol)

So, I've sort of looked into cruises and did a little research into all inclusive resorts. I even did a tiny bit of looking into Hawaii. I'd price out WDW too but they, of course, don't have their 2011 info online. You have to call and I'm not that interested yet. lol

Any thoughts?

What about going someplace like Yosemite?
