Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[DIS_MERI]

Hello all

Back and somewhat rested from my "holiday" in England (hard to call it a vacation when we logged 957 miles-all driven by me in a manual transmission-and hit 17 castles or other historic sites in 8 days, lol), I was so excited to get my magical express stuff for my trip that is now next month! Haven't even hinted about it to the kids yet

I am not even going to attempt to cover the convos I missed, except this:

"A U.S. Military action has killed Osama Bin Laden"

I am *so* happy about this. Interestingly enough, the flight I was supposed to be on yesterday from New York to Indy was cancelled so they routed us through Boston instead. I was very close to the 9/11 memorial there (saw signs for it as we were changing terminals but couldn't visit as we barely made our flight to begin with) and was thinking about how much I'd like Bin Laden to die. Not only was I stationed at a command that played a major part in the near miss attack on him in 1998, but I went to "A" school with someone who died in the Pentagon on 9/11.

certainly, all are welcome here.

especially those awesome enough to wear a Pirate costume..

I'm glad you like my costume!

Welcome!!! I like your pictures. Your son is adorable. My baby turned two in March.

My son will be two at the end of June. He was 19 months on the cruise which is where the pictures were taken.

Soooooo.......

Any fun plans for the week or weekend? anything fun go on over the weekend?




(I figure we should lighten the mood again and get back to what matters... chatting, socializing, flirting, and trying to figure out how to make it back to the mouse house.)

I had a date over the weekend. It involved pitchers of margaritas so that was fun!

Wow, your driving must be pretty bad if you hit 17 castles in 8 days,
it's not like they run out in front of you like the deer in PA do..

Okay, visited 17 castles. I managed to not hit anything in the car

I took well over 1K pics on the trip (although most are of flowers, for my Mom), sadly I will have to wait until Thursday to upload any since my net is too iffy at home

hopefully some castle photos..

could you teach me restraint when it comes to photo taking... one day at WDW is often over 1000 photos for me..

I took 522, Saturday at the Faerie fest

I was a paramedic in 2001 for a private company in NJ. I was stationed across the Hudson that morning. I was called to duty, so I was at Ground Zero doing triage for those who managed to escape.

This week just working. I also will be buying myself something for Mother's Day. Not quite sure yet what I'm getting but I'm sure I'll love it!

You may be the only pyrate but there are several princesses around and I might be one of them!

Glad you had a great time...I love the UK.
Did you happen to see any of the Royal Wedding???My son woke me up at 4am so he could watch the royal smooch.

I was a paramedic in 2001 for a private company in NJ. I was stationed across the Hudson that morning. I was called to duty, so I was at Ground Zero doing triage for those who managed to escape.

I have always wanted to go and help out some where. I am just waiting for DS to get older. But when I went to Mexico this winter I saw Drs and nurses going to Haiti. I long to go, and help since I feel that I am so lucky to live in this country. I would love to go and help people who aren't as lucky as me!

ummm yep I knew that, been trying to figure out how to convert you to a Pyrate wench..

I'm not sure, I think I make a better Princess than a wench...Even though ExH called me much worse

a Pyrate wench is not a bad thing, the ones I've encountered are pretty, sweet, sexxy

I have a whole folder of photos of myself with Pyrate wenches...on my website only one I can think of that I would run from..LOL

Hey, all. Been a while. But I'm trying to get back in the swing of things here (I feel like a broken record saying that). But things have been chaotic here as of late, what with all the storms and the havoc they caused. Right now, work-wise, I've mentally prepared myself for huge orders of body parts (car hoods, roofs, trunks, you name it) to be coming in for the next few weeks. To give you all an idea of how things are going, I went to a body shop on Friday and asked how the guys there were doing, a worker there explained to me that on the first day after the storm they got nearly one hundred claims sent to them (95 to be exact) and on that day, they got fifty claims and the number was still rising. Needless to say........I've got job security for awhile. Need to step up my game a bit.

Oh, and on a side note, I made May of next year the next goal for my next Disney trip. Started doing the saving for the basic funds, so the next goal is my park tickets (August birthday spending), then booking my hotel for the Pop Century (October vacation pay). Now, why does one year feel like ten...?

This week just working. I also will be buying myself something for Mother's Day. Not quite sure yet what I'm getting but I'm sure I'll love it!

I bought myself a beautiful charm bracelet for Mother's Day. I can't wait for my son to give it to me!

So, going on DC's suggestion of subject changing...

I called yesterday to remake my Sept reservation. I play the "I'll send you a check" game for damn near two months before they actually get any money and as long as I am more than 45 days out, I can do that. I'm waiting for the check to arrive from my high-interest online savings bank and I'm in no hurry to withdraw money that makes money.

Anyway, so I called yesterday on my way home from work to make a new reservation and cancel the old one and I gave the reason that I knew free dining was coming out for my travel dates and I wanted to make sure I had a room at POR and not get locked out because of it.

He was like, "How did you know about the free dining?" All I could say was, "C'mon man, I'm a diser. We know every.thing."

I was right about the dining package, it was released today. Also, got another confirmation that passholder rates will be released for my dates. I am banking on 30% off rack rate.

I gotta say Tucson International is the most BORING airport ever! Thank god for free wifi! hahaha

Welcome back DIS_MERI!

I had a date over the weekend. It involved pitchers of margaritas so that was fun!

Ooooooo...... I just had the amazing image of pitchers of the Mexico Margaritas! It's a shame Disney doesn't sell them by the pitcher. I'd be in heaven.

Soooo, I guess this may mean that Overtime will be returning for you? At least, in the short term?

hi kids!!
so day 2 at the park today....well actually half a day, took one of the bffs back to the airport and met the other one for lunch in Palm Bay. we were "suppose" to see the shuttle launch but once again, that was not the case. so we found this hole in the wall place that served over 45 types if beer and good bbq.
Anyway, had dinner at Prime time cafe, very cool place and I was loving the "adult beverages" that were available. and so dig the glowing ice cubes...so much fun.
So tomorrow is the NE Diva meet...we should all be on property now basking in the greatness that is Disney.
So tomorrow I have my ADR at LeCellier for lunch and I can't wait! I think my plan is to head to Epcot early for EMH, get on Soarin' and take some pictures of some awesome topiaries...so other than the marriage of William and Kate, the death of Bin Laden, the tornados in Arkansas, and the NFL draft....what else is up??

I'd like to think that. If push comes to shove, I'll get notified that it'll be necessary for me to come in earlier than usual just to get things set up. I still won't be able to work on Saturdays, but, if asked, I'll be there in a heartbeat. I can't get overboard with overtime yet, but if my boss needs my help, I'll be there to provide it.
