Great HM pics! I didn't think much of that ride the first time I rode it, but it became one of my faves on my last trip and I love it now! It was especially fun riding it at MNSSHP.

That castle merchandise is so beautiful! I would love to own all of it. Particularly the stockings and matching tree skirt. Unfortunately, almost all of my Christmas decor is red, white and silver, so it wouldn't match. I'm afraid if it added blue stuff it would look like the wrong holiday. It is pretty though.

Hope everything goes well for Jill today. And hopefully she will get some YUMMY food after her tests are over!

good luck to Jill. I hope your GD test comes out normal. My one hour one was a little higher than normal so they made me come back for the 3 hr one. That was stressful but luckily everything came out ok...no Gestational diabetes for me. Though I was warned ahead of time to bring somethign with me to eat after the 3 hour because of fasting that long and having blood drawn 4 times will make you weasy...I was fine afterwards but I heard if you are sick after the 4th time...then you probably have GD.

As for haunted mansion. I lvoe that ride. I still remember the first time I rode it with my dad on my first trip in 1991. The ghosts in the vehicle was a suprise to me and I thought it was funny that a ghost was riding with us. I wasn't scared but then again I was 10.

Thinking of Jill!!!
I have to have a glucose test too - in 4 weeks. But they have changed it recently in my area and I only need to go in for one blood test after drinking a VERY sweet and yucky syrup drink!!!
I'm also anemic (sp?) and on iron tablets so really sympathise with Jill!!!

Love Julie xxx

Will they give you the drink before your test. Like a couple days before?? Mine did and I kept it in my fridge so it was cold when I drank it. I was expecting the worst but it ended up tasting like an sunkist (orange drink pop) though don;t know what they have where you are. I have heard there is also a lime one that kind of tastes like a sprite/7-up too but I did not get that one.

She survived the fast, and then in a delirious mumble I heard her say something about going to Kentucky to fly a chicken.

Or maybe she said she was eating Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Yeah, that was it - good old greasy KFC!

Jill,
I bet you were so hungry, that was probably the best KFC you have ever eaten.

Great pics as usual. Happy to here Jill 'passed' her test (only those of us who have done that can truly appreciate the joke)

Canadian conversation side- Even though declansdad loves dulse, I find it disgusting.

Our students started back Monday and we are looking at our first possible storm day tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the PM. I think we've made a decision that everyone will enjoy.

Oh I love the Haunted Mansion! I really really do! Awesome photos! And I love the gypsy-style cart for souvies! I really think that is very creative! And you got both of my HM souveniers there! The gray-ish t-shirt with haunted mansion written in pink on it, and the doombuggy licence plate (which is now hanging in the rec. room!)

Oh poor Jill! I hate fasting! All you can think of is food, all you see is food, all the commercials on TV are for food, a cooking show is on every channel, every building you pass when driving is a restaurant...I'm glad she survived! Hopefully all is well!

 

[xoktenox]

MeMom, you take really good pictures in the dark, I have to tell you. I actually know what the picture is of, not like when I take them and its just a blur of darkness

Glad to hear Jill survived her fast and then made up for it at KFC...I can't wait to be pregnant just so I can eat whatever I want and not feel bad about it!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Thanks DeclansDad and Brookelisabeth for letting me know what 'prarrie oysters' are.....I will never eat those.....EVER! Thanks for the heads up... I think.

MeMom the castle shopping pics are lovely. I never knew they had so much castle merchandise. Our friend should love those pics.

I couldn't go on Haunted mansion last time because of the refurb, Lexi is scared to go on, I hope I can change her mind by summer.

BrooklynnsMommy I feel for you today, having been through it twice before. It's not the best way to spend the morning. I don't share your love of KFC, but I hope you enjoyed it. Glad everything went fine. We should all be so thankful for all the medical testing they do now for pregnancies. Gives us piece of mind.

I live that castle.

great update and pics.

I love the HM.

Yes, we have a syrup drink to make up the night before with warm water so it fully disolves and then we top it up with cold water in the morning and drink it 1hr before seeing the Dr for the blood test.

I read on the pack its a lemon flavour drink and I'm told its not horrid tasting, just REALLY sweet!!!

Fingers crossed it all comes back normal!!!

LOL, glad to help out. I think Westerners find them quite the treat.

LOVE the HM pics! That's my favoritest ride!

 

[lmillercrew]

Great pictures and so happy that Jill enjoyed KFC. I could go for some of that, but unfortunately I'm not pregnant and really need to fast, like for the rest of my life.

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

Thank you for all your kind thoughts yesterday. I ended up being at the lab from 8:00 until about 12:15. They stuck me 6 times for a total of 12 vials of blood. I was extremely hungry by the time I left and the KFC drivethrough was the first one I hit on the way home. Brooklynn called me while I was there on her way from gymnastics to school and asked if I was at the doctor. I said yes and she said "why?" I said I had to get some shots and she said "why?" I told her to make sure I was healthy and Bellaree was healthy and she said (everyone together now) "why?" I finally said because and then she responded with "Is Bella ree sleeping?" and I said "nope" and she said "why?" It really is a vicious circle with a two year old.

We should have the internet in a week or so so I will be on more often.
