Saving Dole Whip Float Money (Update 2/27: TR Link Posted!)

Hahaha, I'm so glad we are equally obsessed with each other's games! John and Howard need to start a support group for significant others to people who are way too competitive and obsessed with Disney games!

I'm glad you are feeling better, but I'm sorry you had a less than productive morning! I hate it when that happens to me. It throws my whole day off!

Oh my gosh, I'm glad you were okay in class! You are one heck of a teacher for going to work when you could barely walk! Your students are lucky to have you! I was so freaked out when I almost fainted last week, but I'm glad I realized what it was from. Now I can prevent it from happening again in the future!

I don't think I could function without my SmartBoard. I use it constantly! Although, sometimes my students are better at using it than I am!

I call it a healthy obsession. We're exercising our brains and our sense of competition! I don't really have to compete with anyone anymore (like I did when I was a student vying for a certain rank or award), so this is where I get it out!

I'm back from church now, and I know I have to focus on the things that have to get done. I just wish I accomplished more yesterday. It always comes to this point, where I wish I did more on Fri/Sat so that I could relax more on Sunday!

My doctor gave me compression stockings, so we'll see how those work IF I start using them this year ...

Scuttle!!!

Aw man you're too fast!

 

[HowWeird]

Aw man you're too fast!

Haha thanks! I thought it'd be good to get my fiancée's game every once in a while

I don't think I've googled or pulled so many different phrases out in such a short time before!

 

[RachelNinja]

Scuttle!!!

Aw man you're too fast!

And I thought he wasn't going to get it because he doesn't know that much resort/restaurant trivia! Haha, he is rather fast with Google though. I watched him play a round at my house. Maybe next time!

Character Scrambler: Round 8 Answers

Congratulations to HowWeird who got the correct answer of Scuttle from The Little Mermaid! Here are the answers and a little bit more detail for some of them!

Clue #1: No Way Jose = S
Howard and I are both lactose intolerant. How unfortunate! It's not severe since we can still eat cheese and other dairy products, but things like ice cream just don't sit well with us. Once in a while, we risk it by having a little bit of the dessert that has ice cream on top, but getting JUST ice cream would be an extremely unwise decision. That doesn't stop us from staring at the beauty that is the No Way Jose! I mean, even the description gets me drooling: "A Peanut Butter and Hot Fudge Delight with Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Morsels, Whipped Cream and a Cherry." Thankfully, I just read on NorweJenNY's (http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=38173469&postcount=91) dining review that there's a chocolate peanut butter brownie at Earl of Sandwich! Um, we're definitely getting that!

Clue #2: La Nouba = U
Though I'll probably never go see this particular show, I do have to say that Cirque du Soleil shows are rather entertaining! I saw Wintuk two years ago around Christmas in NYC since we went with the middle school for a field trip. I didn't think it'd be fun to watch, but boy, it really was! It was kind of scary though because of the lamp posts that sway and sing and the huge bird and all those other crazy characters, but the skill of these performers is just amazing.

Clue #3: Victoria and Albert's = C
Just reading about this experience makes me nervous! So unbelievably formal! But it must be such an amazing experience for major foodies, especially being able to talk to the chef!

Clue #4: Mad Tea Party = T
I will never ever ever be able to ride this. I remember when I used to love these things! At one point, I was spinning so much and so fast that my older brother started yelling at me, haha. Um, don't ride the teacups if you can't handle it!

Clue #5: Refillable Mugs = L
I can't wait to get a mug because it seems cool to be able to get drinks whenever I want! This is great especially since Howard's trying to get me to drink more water, so I'm getting used to drinking more in general! Plus, the calories in any drink on vacation don't count, right? So if I happened to have a sip of some soda ...

Clue #6: Tables in Wonderland = T
Recently, I've been reading reviews of people who don't get the Disney Dining Plan and get the Tables in Wonderland card instead. Smart choice! Getting tons of appetizers just seems to be more my style instead of the entree + dessert combo.

Clue #7: Yeti = E
I don't know if I'll be able to get on this ride since I'm afraid of the backwards part, but I'm very curious to see the yeti. I heard that the arm swipes down sometimes?

Lastly, the reason why I chose Scuttle is because when Howard played a few rounds at my house (haha, I love that he still wants to play while I'm sitting here even if someone already guessed the correct answer), he kept thinking the character would be Ursula! Of course, I had to include a character from The Little Mermaid without it actually being Ursula. Plus, I like Scuttle because when I teach 6th grade vocabulary, the word "scuttle" is actually in one of the lessons! I remind them of this movie, and they tend to remember the definition a lot easier!

Busy Bee!

Since the school year started today with the students, I've been really stressed and overwhelmed. Feeling like a busy bee is extremely tiring! There's a lot that has to be done, and I just need to get through this week to get into the swing of things. I also have a doctor's appointment tomorrow for my annual echo, and then Wednesday is my birthday!

I'm sorry to say that I will NOT be posting any rounds of the game this week. I'll post a round again starting Sat, Sun, or Mon. Maybe when I have some down time, I'll make up a round or two so I can be ahead and not get to this point of having nothing to post for you guys! Sorry about that! Hope you guys come back this weekend!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Hope you had a good first day of school! Sorry I am so behind on your PTR game since I'm busy with school too.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hope your first day with the students went well! It seems so odd that your kids are just starting back, mine have been in school for nearly a month already!

 

[HowWeird]

Sadly, Rae's been too busy to even enjoy her birthday today!

Happy Birthday Fiancée!

It's been quite a journey for us. I know we're not big on gifts or surprises, but you deserve something. How about a big hug? Flowers? Or a cheeseburger? (||)

Hope you're having a good day! I love you

 

[SoonerGirl]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAE!!!

I LOVE these games! Just sorry I'm so late to the party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

 

[floridascgirl]

Happy Birthday, Rachel! I think it's so cute how Weird now refers to you as "fiance".

Personally, I'm relieved that you aren't posting scramblers during the week for awhile because I've been too tired to play (or DIS) in the evening. This leaving for work before the sun comes up is for the birds!!!

 

[RachelNinja]

Hope you had a good first day of school! Sorry I am so behind on your PTR game since I'm busy with school too.

These are the times I wish I had an office job. Haha, I could be on DIS way more than I am now! At this point, I'm behind on yours!

Hope your first day with the students went well! It seems so odd that your kids are just starting back, mine have been in school for nearly a month already!

Thanks! Yeah, we start even later than public school in my area. I don't mind that though. I can't believe it's only been one week! Feels much longer.

Hehe, thanks DFi! I did get my cheeseburger, but I didn't get to have it with you!

Thank you!!! Hehe, I still get happy when he calls me his fiancée.

Real life makes DIS-ing seem overwhelming at times! This past week was definitely one of those weeks when I really could NOT be on. I was on a bit, but only to read some random things here and there, and I didn't comment on anything, I don't think. I did miss it though! I need some Disney in my daily life. Thankfully, I can talk about Disney at school!

Hope you're settled down a bit because I'm starting the game again this week!

Ohh I get to play!

Randall

one of my favorite villains!

P.S. Happy belated Birthday!

 

[floridascgirl]

I thought I had all of the letters, but maybe not. I'm having trouble with the unscramble and it's not adding up to Randall (I'm one letter off).

Oh well...my DH says dinner is ready and I'm starving. Maybe next time.
