Quick Birthday Trip at the Magic Kingdom!!!

[bouncycat]

So, I got in as reported today, at 10 am, sit there, sit there, actually found someone who likes to talk Disney!!! yea, only me, right?? SO, I'm sitting there, talking, and then about 45 minutes later, our judge comes in, and says thanks for your duty, you've done your job for today, call back at 6 tonight for reporting instructions for tomorrow. UG. BUT, what I did find out, is that the OTHER judge, who called like 50 people, has a MURDER trial going on!!! Glad I didn't get assigned to THAT judge!!!! UG, I got back to work and said "thank you GOD!!" So, we'll probably get called in every day, just to sit for an hour or so, and go back to work....I'll take that over the murder trial!!!!!

OMG, I was rolling when I read all this!!!! Too funny, maybe I will hide the cookies in the laundry room!! We'll get some fruit this weekend.

I gotta be into Jury Duty at 10 am this morning, So, I came into work, normal time. This is really starting to suck juggling these 2 things around!! But, the stars have *hopefully* Aligned and looks like we won't need to do our yard sale for the "extras" for this trip, AND I can get caught up on EVERYTHING!!! Which will be nice! Hopefully I can make my mom mad and buy her something for mother's day too....she told me she didn't want anything, just for us to plant trees! SHE'S even making dinner!! So, this weekend, hopefully finish up some shopping, gotta make sure I get our ear plugs for dad's snoring and just a few other things for the cabin. So, almost ready, 20 days from today...I can't wait!!! Another couple of days and we can all say we're going "THIS MONTH"!!! That'll have a nice ring to it!

I have to work Mother's Day, but that is ok. I worked last year too, but my family had stuff waiting for me when I got home and that was nice. This year I did the photo pass CD and told Dale that was my mother's day gift from him. I love the sound of "THIS MONTH". It seems as if time is slowing down though.

So, I got in as reported today, at 10 am, sit there, sit there, actually found someone who likes to talk Disney!!! yea, only me, right?? SO, I'm sitting there, talking, and then about 45 minutes later, our judge comes in, and says thanks for your duty, you've done your job for today, call back at 6 tonight for reporting instructions for tomorrow.

UG, I got back to work and said "thank you GOD!!" So, we'll probably get called in every day, just to sit for an hour or so, and go back to work....I'll take that over the murder trial!!!!!

One of the night shift nurses was on jury duty last week and I think she got picked for a robbery. The one time I was called I had to report to the Court House everyday. We don't have the call in thing here, though it would be nice. The jury pool I was in was picked for a murder case, but I was released. It really did suck to go sit at the Court House everyday and still not get picked for a case.

 

[bouncycat]

Yep, I got picked, it's a simple battery case, we'll be done today...

On a more ON TOPIC note, I talked to DSM last night, told her about hopping to Epcot, and I get the OOOOOOO, OOOOOOOO's again. LOL she has many words until she hears something she really likes!! I told her I knew they wanted to go there together just the 2 of them, but this opportunity is just knocking, so we should jump on it, and mentioning that the flower festival was still going on was a big plus for her HAHA So looks like that's the plan for sure, hopping to Epcot when we're done taking pictures, and doing just a couple of rides So, should be a great day!!! I think I'm down to 18 today, so I caught up to ya'll in the teens!! LOL

 

[leamom2princesses]

I do not envy you for having to serve Jury Duty. I hope I never get picked.

I don't have to have my yard sale either for the trip but I figure why not get rid of the stuff and use the money from old stuff to fund new stuff.

I'm glad your DSM warmed up to your EPCOT idea. You guys are going to have so much fun! I wish I lived close like you...I'm so jealous.

 

[bouncycat]

Thanks for the support ya'll!!! It was over with yesterday, but I was soooo flippin tired, I didn't have the courage to come in and kick Tyler off the computer!! Just regular work today. But, I'm up BEFORE the butt crack of dawn today...just poof, wide awake, paying bills, nothing fun haha So, looks like the Epcot thing is a go, I'm happy about that LOL Just gonna get a little more agressive in the packing this weekend, and go from there!! We'll see how it unfolds

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Yay for jury duty being over, I hope I never get picked for that!! I would HATE it! Not my cup of tea! But it's nice that you found someone else to talk Disney with. I love when that happens.
And that's great that you're hopping over to Epcot while you're there.

IT IS DONE JURY DUTY IS OVER Now you can focus, intently, on getting ready for all the FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are getting so freaking close.....
Tomorrow Dale and I are going to Pensacola, eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant, and I'm gonna get a margarita big enough to swim in and then do some shopping !!!!

Hooray for Jury duty being over! I worked on a cake all night last night so I didn't get a thing done for my yard sale. I have so much to do...I feel a 1/2 day of vacation coming on. Hopefully after tomorrow I will spend the rest of my time packing and preparing for our trip. We are so close! Can't wait!!!!!

I know it, we can almost smell those cookies on main street!! MMMM Ya'll GOTTA try one of those cookie ice cream sandwitches, they're SUPER bad, but SUPER good!!! We went by target tonight, I found Chris's "park" shirt, he's kinda picky about his shirts, and all his grumpy ones are dark colored, so didn't want my man roasting!! LOL So I got him a bright yellow one, says "aren't I just a big ray of sunshine" totally him LOL Got Tyler a tshirt, and a set of PJ's, both star wars, no big surprise there. And, we found digital picture frames for Ma and DSM for $38.99 on clearance, so I got each of them one, and will upload pics probably tomorrow. Anyways, ya'll have a good night, the butterfly is calling my name to sleep!!

OMG those cookie ice creams are like crack, Dallas and I got one a couple of years ago, we slipped away from Dale, Tyler and Amanda............... Hey, they wanted to ride Splash and we were tired of waiting. We could not finish it, we had to throw about half of it away, so one would have fed 3 of us, and we are pretty good eaters(look at my bunch............) It was sooooooooooooooooo good though. I have to say though I could go from now on without that if I could just have a School Bread. That is like meth.............. Dale and I shared one last year and this year I will get my own and I will bite his hand if it comes near my school bread.

You got a digital frame for $38.99? I will be at my Target tomorrow. I guess you have seen I have so much crap planned for tomorrow there is no possible way to do it all.............. Dale has already nixed the Crawfish Festival . Dale needs a shirt that says "Joy? Give me my .357" ..............

Yea, Chris would like that shirt too....anything to do with guns, but that's what he does for the coast guard, guns! These photo frames were on one of the BACK end caps, if we didn't walk that way, I would have missed them. We looked at the normal ones, and man, talk about $$$$ I love BOTH my moms, but holy cow!! AND it was a section marked clearance, so if you go, you may have to search. My mom didn't want me getting her anything, cause we're going up and planting trees for her next weekend, so she's cooking for us, but I wasn't able to do anything for chrismas, they understood, but I can now, so HA!! Take it and LIKE it!! DSM was asking for home depot GC's, but I think GC's are so impersonal. I like to get her stuff that makes her cry!! In a good way! I think this will hit the nail on the head!!!

So, I did a little shopping today....got groceries, then we hopped over to orlando to bass pro shops off I drive, got me a new pair of Teva sandals!! I got the Terra-Fi 2's, in Thena red, and they're SUPER comfy!! I looked at the dozers, which is what dh has, and I liked the Terra ones better, more open. I did have to buy Tyler's online, they didn't have any in his size, got him the Terra type ones in camo, and the dozers in blue. Those should be in by wednesday. I also got the ear plugs for dad's snoring!! POOR DAD!!! Got a whole big can full, so I'm READY!!! Gonna do some laundry tonight and tomorrow, and start packing!!! YAAAY!! Got busy weekends next weekend, and the one after, then it's time to go!! Got the lysol ready for the cabin, and everything. So, no more to buy, other then simple things like water and soda. Oh, and the tickets, still waiting for DH's bonus, that thing better come in, otherwise the ticket $ will cut into our spending $!! LOL So.....tick tock tick tock....is it time to go yet???????

Hi Christie ,
Finally found the right trippie! So glad to hear Jury duty is over. Sounds like you are ready for Disney, can't believe you are packing tomorrow. Your lucky to live so close. I just read all about your Sea World day too, I love it there! DS wants to go there on our trip but we don't have enough days this time.

It's VERY nice living this close, but it can be expensive!! We still have 2 weeks from tomorrow until we go, but we're gonna be busy the next couple of weekends, and every time I pack feeling rushed, I forget something. So, I started early, gave me a good excuse anyways!! I'm cleaning today too, as well as packing, I guess I'm just anxious to go!! I haven't been on too much lately, they took away our internet at work so no more dissing while I work!! LOL Thanks for stopping by, just READY TO GO!!!

 

[racefanof88]

I am looking at some Tevas. Are they really comfy? I have about 3 pairs of shoes packed for me already......... Do they have to be broken in? Dallas and Tyler have such big feet and poor Tyler's are turned in. If they are really comfy that may be an option for Tyler some good shoes for Disney.

 

[bouncycat]

They are EXTREMELY comfy!!! The ones I got yesterday, I was on my feet ALL Morning grocery shopping in my teva flip flops, which are comfy, just no support for the ankle. Then we went to BPS shopping, was on my feet in my tennies for about 2 hours, bought the sandals, got outside, put them on, and where my calves were hurting from being on my feet, went away almost immediately!! Then we looked at boats....chris was dreaming BIG!! LOL But, feet felt good. He said his dozers didn't have much break in time....my flops didn't have hardly any, and these seem to feel good from the get go! Just depends on your feet. I LOVE them. Some people don't, go find some, and try them on, and see. They can be a bit pricey tho, so don't get sticker shock LOL

 

[3princesses+aprince]

So you did some shopping I see, that's always FUN!!! And those cookie ice cream sandwiches do look good, we'll have to get some!!! Being on the quick service dining plan with 2 snack credits per day, we'll be all set with all the goodies, I cannot wait!!!

 

[racefanof88]

I can't believe it is almost here. I am just holding my breath until I pull up at FW. I always feel this way right before time to go. My assistant nurse manager's husband had to be rushed to the hospital yesterday to have double by-pass surgery and a good friend of mine had to put her brother in the hospital two days ago , he has ALS. I am praying for everyone to stay healthy or to regain health. Sorry for being such a downer...............

 

[bouncycat]

Not a downer, just realistic!! So, I'm alone behind the teller line for the rest of the week, the other teller took off at the last minute, without internet, man, I think I've MEMORIZED my packing list!!! LOL I've gone over the plan for the september trip too, and havent' changed anything, so that's a good sign. Just waiting now! DSM and DAD are coming down tomorrow, to fix the boat and finish the planning phase, get us both on the same page Then, mother's day!!! I haven't packed my camera yet so maybe I can get some good pictures Ya'll have a happy thursday!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

It stinks that they took the internet away. I hope I don't lose mine. It's the only thing keeping me sane these last few days. I'm ready for a break.

Hey any suggestions on where to eat when we visit New Smyrna Beach? Is there any really good eats around there?

Hope you have a happy Thursday!
