dh wants to drive a monorail when he retires. i wasn't sure what i wanted to do there....but then it hit me....when i'm in a gift shop i'm constantly refolding shirts, putting things back where they belong, organizing things. i'll be working merchandising, for sure. i guess i'd pick either the emporium at MK or world of disney at DTD.

1. Favorite pig out food: pistachio nuts

2. Nickname: MP and Bubblegums were two used a lot by my friends (the latter after I married).

3. Favorite Childhood memory:Waking up super early on Christmas Day (like 2am) to go down and play with our toys from Santa. Then we'd go back to bed

4. Personal heroes: My Mother and Grandmother

5. I've never been able to: ski - tried it once and spent most of the time on my butt!

6. If I could do it over, I'd: go to college

7. I'd give anything to meet (& why): my father. I'll never get the chance because he's gone but I would love to ask him if it was worth it to give his family away for the bottle.

8. If I could change one thing about myself: lose weight - I'm working on it.

9. People who knew me in High School thought I was: an outcast

10. My most irrational act: Going to a taping of Family Feud in downtown Burbank by myself and then taking a ride back to my hotel from a family I just met (I was 19 at the time).

11. If I've learned one thing in life it's: If you aren't happy with yourself no one or no thing can make you happy.

12. Major accomplishment: Surviving cancer

13. The three words that best describe me: Loyal, Emotional, Caring

Oh and Fred--I got home from Walmart to find a Wild Turkey on my front porch. When I freaked he flew up on my roof!!!!! I think he came from your house!!!

My wife said we didn't have room here for everyone from this board for Thanksgiving, So, I figured since you are so close, I'd send some turkey's your way . That way some people could go to your house too....LOL

You are the man Fred!

 

[cgcw]

1. Favorite pig out food: chips and dip. Not something I buy very often because I could eat it all by myself!

2. Nickname: no formal nickname. Gary has always written Cindia (combination of Cynthia & Cindy) on cards & gifts he's given me. I was named after a plane my Dad flew on during WWII. It was the only plane from their division which returned from it's assignment. The planes name was the Cynnee Ann and for his 3rd daughter, my Dad wanted a namesake from that period of his life.

3. Favorite Childhood memory:ice skating on the Dad-made pond in our backyard. I can remember my parents watching me through the window and I thought I was really slick

4. Personal heroes: My Dad. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until after he died. A lot of things came to light in the days/weeks after his death that we were not aware of. Good things he did for strangers just because. I wish I could be more like him.

5. I've never been able to: sing or play an instrument. Tone deaf as they come. Just ask my kids

6. If I could do it over, I'd:go to college, even though the timing was bad. A close second would be not marrying my ex. Hind sight is so clear sometimes.

7. I'd give anything to meet (& why): gee, I don't know. A very hard one. I'd like to say God, but in a way, that's too scary for me. So, I'll settle for any one of my grandparents. They all died before I was born.

8. If I could change one thing about myself: LOL -- I'm with Karen on this one -- my metabolism. What a nice way to phrase it!

9. People who knew me in High School thought I was: going to marry my highschool sweetheart.

10. My most irrational act: another tough one....hhhummm.....packing up and moving out when I was 18 because I was old enough. Age wise, yes, maturity wise, not even close.

11. If I've learned one thing in life it's: what goes around, comes around. I believe this and would never do to others what I wouldn't want done to me. A close second would be treasure what you have today because in an instant it could change.

12. Major accomplishment: My children. Without a doubt. I worked hard to have them and thank God for them every day.

13. The three words that best describe me: loyal, dependable, genuine - I am who I am and will not put on a show for others.

Diane, you can run but you can't hide!

 

[MarkRG]

1. Favorite pig out food: Leftover vegetables served at larger dinners when we have a group over. Yes, I do usually eat them cold right out of the fridge.

2. Nickname: never had one.

3. Favorite Childhood memory: Boating with grandpa (deja vu there)

4. Personal heroes: Grandpa, wound up raising me more than my parents at times, instilled some very old and valuable lessons/values in me.

5. I've never been able to: Do woodworking. Totally stink at it.

6. If I could do it over, I'd: have gone thru a trade school. I have the ability, but not the certifications.

7. I'd give anything to meet (& why): Don't really have an answer for this one.

8. If I could change one thing about myself: I'd be a little shorter. Would make life a lot easier on me.

9. People who knew me in High School thought I was: Older than I really was. I spent more time with the upperclassmen and the teachers than my own class.

10. My most irrational act: Nothing comes to mind there either, don't really do that kind of thing.

11. If I've learned one thing in life it's: Never assume anything, nothing is impossible.

12. Major accomplishment: The home and family life I have here with Mary.

13. The three words that best describe me: Practical, Literal, Openminded.

3. Favorite Childhood memory: Going to WDW in 1976

4. Personal heroes: My mother

5. I've never been able to: Sing, but I sing like I know how to!

6. If I could do it over, I'd: not marry my ex right out of college and do something adventerous by myself instead.

7. I'd give anything to meet (& why): Walt Disney, why, isn't it obvious?

8. If I could change one thing about myself: I'd be skinny.

9. People who knew me in High School thought I was: most likely to succeed.

10. My most irrational act: Getting married the first time even though my friends and family all told me not to. Even at the altar I was saying to myself, you shouldn't do this.

11. If I've learned one thing in life it's: life's too short, enjoy every minute.

12. Major accomplishment: My girls.

13. The three words that best describe me: generous, caring, funny.

Getting "lost" at camp. I loved taking the trails to figure out where they went etc.

We'll have to do a group shot of the kids.

Absolutely not! Pack it in your bag!

Here's another idea, wear it for the DVC group picture. At least you'll be able to pick yourself out in the crowd!

 

[alikat99]

1. Favorite pig out food: Ice cream sandwiches - I don't bring them in the house, because I just can't stop eating them until the box is gone.

2. Nickname: Aim, Aimers, Amelia - usually it was anything that could be a derivative of Amy

3. Favorite Childhood memory: Christmas - it's always been my favorite time of year. And, even though we were poor, my mom always made sure that we had an awesome Christmas.

4. Personal heroes: Most definitely, my mom!! Had she not been so insistent that I be my best, I don't think my life would be the same.

5. I've never been able to: sing very well, I can sing, but it doesn't sound very good

6. If I could do it over, I'd: I would have traveled for a year or so after finishing college. I had bought a car in college, so I had no choice but to go to work to pay for it.

7. I'd give anything to meet (& why): Ok, don't laugh, but besides world leaders, I would love to meet Jon Bon Jovi. I just think he is the biggest hottie, and I've had a "crush" on him for years.

8. If I could change one thing about myself: My weight - I've battled with it ALL my life. My biggest problem is that I love food too much!!

9. People who knew me in High School thought I was: average - I really wasn't a stand out kind of person, I just blended into the woodwork most of the time. I wasn't in the popular group, but I would say the next step down from the most popular kids. It didn't help that I changed HS in the middle of my sophomore year.

10. My most irrational act: can't think of one, but I'm sure there are some.

11. If I've learned one thing in life it's: Everything happens for a reason, and I completely believe this. I know that even the bad things that happen in life, teach you lessons down the road of life.

12. Major accomplishment: First, my girls, they are the love of my life. My second would be graduating from college. I was the very first in my family to do so.

13. The three words that best describe me: friendly, loyal, kind

Now there's an idea. If we all wear our santa hats for the picture, then I'm sure people would think we were nuts.

Excuse me, but haven't we already proven that?

 

[WDWLVR]

Ok - another TZ moment. I was going to post about wearing the hats in the picture and thought you would all think I'm nuts . Should have known I was in good company.


Seriously we should all try to meet up for the group picture. I would be fun to be in a crowd of friends!

 

[cquick]

Actually, I ordered the green Mickey Mouse one from Mrs. Lips....I couldn't resist...who has time to sew now? I already made a Peasant blouse to wear for Pirate night, and I bought new HUGE hoop earring to wear! connie

Let me guess, you have the santa hats with the Mickey ears too?

 

[WDWLVR]

Let me guess, you have the santa hats with the Mickey ears too?

But of course.

 

[cgcw]

But of course.

Now that you posted it, I do remember seeing you in those hats.

Connie, I thought that may have been you. Your DIS name and the buyers names were very similar.

Welcome to the Mrs. Lips supporter club!

If Mrs. Lips only knew what a profit she could have made if she sold Blinkies.
