Pinch me, did it REALLY happen????? - All wrapped up, and yes, it DID happen!

You are so funny! Can you clean things? That's what we need.

We could wake you up when you fall asleep on the whatever so that you could go to bed, but we would have no room for your DH or sons, so you would be forced to leave them at home!

Dang it! I don't do cleaning!
Better stay with David... He's doing the laundry right now! While I'm planning a Walking Dead marathon in my jammies!!!!

I am glad that you made the culinary tour. Now I want to eat at Jiko again just for the bread service. When I did the culinary tour in 2009, we just did the Boma part. I hear you about unsupervised kids. After teaching elementary school in the past, I have very little tolerance for misbehaving kids.

I am not too keen on caramel unless it is in my coffee. Zebra Domes however are a different story.

All of the treats at the Karamell-Kuche looked very appetizing.

Nice to hear that you were able to make it in time for the tour and show all those photos from the tour.

Very nice update.

Aaah! I got my sugar fix and those Zebra Domes.

You have tombstones??? I hope you'll bring them out at Halloween!

We're going to display them year round in the new house!

The tombstone story is too funny. Maybe you need to start a log of all your fabulous items

I see a few of my favorite caramel/marshmallow pinwheels!

The marshmallow pinwheels are my favorite!

Dang it! I don't do cleaning!

Sorry....I think David will be happier if you stay with him.

Great update. The tours look super neat. Next time, I'll remember them. I love Saana's bread service.

Will I be kicked out of the club if I say I don't love Zebra Domes?

The Zebra Domes were good, but I have to say I enjoyed my treats from Karamel-Kuche more than I did the ZDs. No one gets kicked out of the club for that, it just means more for the ones who really do like them!

We've had the bread service the two times that we did the Wanyama Safari. I knew that it was really good. It wouldn't have been as bad if the adults put the kid between them. I mean the whole group was all together so it would have made sense that they lined up at the counter with the kid surrounded by two adults, not all the adults together and the kid on the end with the stranger.

The thing that I really like about DLR is that you can get caramel marshmallow treats at all the candy stores. Marcelline's or the one at the end of Buena Vista Street, Pooh Corner or the shop on Main Street. I am really bummmed because they have discontinued two of my favorite DLR treats, the Cheshire Tails and the Caramel Marshmallow sticks coated in chocolate.

I get to go back in two weeks and get some more when we meet Jenny out there for her birthday!

We missed the Karamel-Kuche on this last trip. I offered but the kids weren't into it. I think F&W did us in. Next time we'll save room. Every time I see the treats I could kick myself for at least not bringing anything home.

Yay for another great David! Mine is like that too.


All the goodies are making me hungry.

We make another stop later because I wanted to bring treats home and we actually ate quite a few of these before our last day!

I am sooooooo starving right now and it will be a while until dinner.

Grab a little snack to hold you over.

If I don't get off here I'm going to be in the same boat.

So this is a totally OT post.

We have had this sheet music business since 1999 and around 2006 or 2007 with the economy it started tanking. Most of the employees were our friends and we really didn't want to kill their jobs so we just kept limping along but after years of losing money constantly (a lot), we closed up shop last August. It's been a long time packing things up but today we did the major stuff.

Here is what the office looked like about a year ago.

It was a two bedroom apartment where the office was located. That area was the living room/dining room where the majority of business happened and some product was stored. This was the original main stock room.

This was mine and Fran's office (owners)

Darcy and I have been boxing up the music since September. Not every day and sometimes only an hour, sometimes, 5 or 6 hours, but steadily since then we have been working. It came out to over 400 boxes of music. Today our contractor loaned us his guys (of course at a fee). We fed them pizza for lunch and second lunch, but here are the boxes now.

And here are the bookcases. I hope no one decides to liberate them from our carport tonight! Tomorrow Fran, Darcy and I get to move them all to storage or somewhere else. Note that they go three across in EVERY row there.

Tonight we are ordering Thai/Japanese for dinner after I go return the Uhaul. Fran is taking Darcy home right now so I have the time to DIS. I WILL be using my meager little bathtub, which in no way resembles a Disney tub. And there is still a lot more stuff up in the "office". Oh yeah, did I mention that these poor guys had to take all this stuff down a flight of stairs?

I am pooped and plan to enjoy some wine this evening and relax in my tub before passing out from sheer exhaustion and pain. I didn't move or carry a lot, but enough that I hurt. Time to go take some more ibuprofen. Anything stronger than that and I will be falling asleep tomorrow!

 

[rentayenta]

Oh my gosh, you deserve to be exhausted. I saw your FB post. We may be coming down the week of Spring Break. If you still need help, I'll be around.

Nah, I'm saving it up for delivery Thai and Japanese!

 

[rentayenta]

Spoiled. We wanted delivery and the only thing we have access to is pizza so pizza it was. I do enjoy a little Dominos thin crust with double onions though. Enjoy!

 

[ACDSNY]

Congrats you've really made great progress! Enjoy your dinner tonight.

At this point once the bookcases are put away we are just going to need to sell off this music over the next 10-20 years, but thanks!

That is one nice thing about living in So Cal. We can have almost whatever we want delivered. There is a new service here called eat24, they have a website, Andriod apps, and you can order from a number of restaurants even if they don't offer delivery. If you order from them, then they send you another coupon for something off their service. I love my sushi, tempura shrimp, fried rice, wontons, and Pad Sie Ew noodles!

Congrats you've really made great progress! Enjoy your dinner tonight.

I plan on it, we just have to wait.....

 

[Leshaface]

Wow what a day! Look at all those bookcases.

Hope you are still enjoying your wine.

BTW, we're really starting to get into Malbec's and we picked up a bottle of Manos Negras Malbec Select and boy is it smooth I also so the Fra Niente Chardonnay that you suggested but DH hates spending money on white wine I need to try it someday.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Congrats!!

Looks like everyone deserved their pizza today. What does the room look like now???

The caramel marshmallow treats are very nice to look at and eat (even though I never have one). I remember the ones during the Holiday season where they decorated them as snowmen. The one store you are talking about at BVS is Trolley Treats. Maybe the DLR will bring back your favorite treats one day at the stores.

That is nice to hear that you will be back at the DLR in two weeks. I can't wait till we get to August for the D23 Expo.

Congrats.
