Peeps 2. The Sweaty Asian Strikes Back. Pt 2. Feb '10. 2/21-Final Chapter. Link to TR

[jordanyosh]

it only rained twice last year, sprinkles one night during Epcot EMH and then poured overnight. Poncho's didn't even come out! Crossing my fingers for you on the rain.

That's what I'm hoping for. It's only reading 30% chance right now.

I care, but I can live with rain.....

 

[WendyO]

Yowza, Gunne Sax and Jessica McClintock!!! That brings back memories.

Anyway - just popping in to say all clothes are packed (however may be tweaked a little bit still), and now just have to do toiletries and other misc stuff... my carryon and survival kit for the plane (toys for Ashlyn, snacks, etc.). Tickets all bought, tags arrived, rides arranged...

Tomorrow's my last day at work, then we have small group tomorrow night and then off Friday to get the girls' hair cuts, attend a birthday party, Erin's piano skills test, and then home to finish packing and get the kids to bed early (yeah, right... who can sleep the night before a trip?). So, I'll be scrambling til the very end as usual. But that will make our arrival there just that much more anticipated, right?

Health note: kids have all been sick last week and this... but Dylan's mostly better (he had it first), and Erin's got an ear infection which she's taking meds for and is on the mend, and Ashlyn is still runny nose but otherwise ok. Coughs all around but not as bad as last week. Praying for enough healing for a decent plane ride and hopefully ok weather so as not to make them worse as we trek them around in the rain for the sake of vacation. Ha ha ha ha.

Dad update: doing well - trying to eat enough and drink enough - energy level is same old, same old - but starting to lose hair (so I guess that's going to happen this time around - he didn't lose hair in 2003 when he had chemo last). Next round of chemo will be next week so at least they don't have kid duty all next week when we're gone.

Ok, back to work. Maybe next post will be from WDW!

Well I just wanna say Have a great and magical trip! I will probably be running around too much the next few days before you leave and wanted to make sure to wish you a good trip.

Are you gonna start a TR before you go 'cause this one's bound to make it to 250 soon!

Say Hi to Mickey for me!

 

[jordanyosh]

Hey Jordan!

Just wanted to wish you a wonderful vacation full of relaxation and good times!

Thanks Heidi. Your TR gave me lots of ideas for the solo portion of my trip.

 

[jordanyosh]

you're younger than my parents...does that make you feel better?

My mom just turned 51 and my dad turned 52, both in December.

Just a little bit better ali...

 

[jordanyosh]

I guess it is safe to say that you are old enough to be my dad.




Just kiddin'.

Technically you're right....but I would be a young dad...if that's any consolation.

 

[MrsSpratt]

Hi, Jordan!

I'm not too much of a pre-trip kinda' gal, but for you....exceptions are made.

I hope you have a peep-a-delic, funkalicious, flat-to-4-d, tongue hanging, toe tapping, belly-laughing good time.

And, for the record, I'd like to call for 3 visits to ESPN, only drinking twice. (Who is keeping the list of people's predictions?)

Have a FABULOUS time!

Mrs. Spratt

I was a sophmore in HS in November of 1977 and learning to drive........

I wasn't too far behind you, Jordan. I was a high school freshman!

Are you all packed?

Kathy

 

[jordanyosh]

Hey Jordan! Just stopping by to say that I hope you have a wonderful trip!! "See" ya when you get back!

ETA: I was going to jump in on the '77 conversation....but that was a few years before my time.

Julia

thanks for the good wishes!

Um...I guess you guys may need to start calling me the elder statesman of the DIS.

 

[jordanyosh]

Kathy

Disco

Kansas, Styx, Queen, Cheap Trick....

those were the days......

Nope not packed!!!!!

 

[joy13]

Let's see - 1977 - I was in preschool

The packing will come together - don't stress! Two days

 

[RockinDisney]

I would like to say don't think of it as rain think of it as a shower bring soap and that might help with the sweaty thing Besides the great thing about rain in FL is wait ten minutes and it usually stops. The second greatest thing is it thins out the crowd as apparently most people melt in the rain, not me cause I am not nearly that sweet but the way most people freak out in the rain, melting must be the norm

 

[jordanyosh]

Jumpin in at the end of the party to wish you Bon Voyage! Have fun my HOTTT sweaty Asian friend!

Better late......

I'll have to think of a new title for the TR since it probably won't be too hot at WDW this time around.......

At least you were born...

I am not overly stressed. I am off at 2pm today so as soon as I'm off. It's home to get stuff organized.

Thanks for the updates, Wendy. I was just going to ask Jordan about his uncle/your dad. You might want to suggest to your mom that she pick up some protein powder from the health food store and mix it into some of your dad's food to pack more nutritional punch in each bite since he's eating less.

Sounds like the kids will be over their colds/ear infections by vacation... so much better than them getting sick when you're down there! (Believe me, I know!)

Have a wonderful time!!

I was six.

I was 6 in 1968..you know before man had landed on the moon......

 

[jordanyosh]

Ya got that right!!! Night Fever, Night Fever....

Saturday Night Fever. It came out in 1977. My friends and I went with my brother and they wouldn't let us in because it was rated R.

Loved the music.....clothes back then loved it...looking back...not so much...

My parents actually TOOK us to see it! We were 10 and 8!!

NOT for kids!! I'd never let my kids see that! I don't know WHAT they were thinking.

 

[jordanyosh]

Dude, I'm WAY behind. On my day job, I'm cataloging 5000 old trouble tickets and at the church, it's been off the chain. We had one of he staff pastors take a position with another church and we've started rehearsals for the Easter muscial. (The grand poo-bah production of the year.) SOOOO, whatever free time I used to have has been obliterated.

I don't know if I will get a chance to wish you farewell before you leave, but if not, have a great trip, enjoy your time, take lots of photos, have lots of laughs, don't sweat the small stuff and remember: It's all small stuff.

God bless my friend!

I don't envy you, but I COMPLETELY understand. Although today, I'm having a hard time concentrating.....

Hope we get one more chance to chat before I leave.

Yeah, it's still pretty raunchy...

They probably thought is was a musical like Sound of Music.
