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

[LaLalovesWDW]

Good morning everyone... well, last night I went to see Madea's Big Happy Family... OMG! That movie had me in stitches I never laughed so hard. Great movie and had its touching moments.

This morning, I got up early, did some final planning for my time at Disney next week, had my weekly argument with the ex-hubbie, started cooking our meals for the week, did laundry, and now... ah... watching "Mary Poppins" on the Family Channel. I must have seen this a million times as a child and can't believe I still remember all the songs.

Enjoy your Sundays! The Sun is out in NJ... I can hardly believe it!

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Hey DISfriends! How were your weekends? Mine was good. Museum on Friday, shopping on Saturday, Easter today. DS enjoyed his Easter egg hunt. He yelled "Easter Bunny" at the top of his lungs every time he found an egg. You had to admire his enthusiasm. Haha.

Back to work tomorrow. We have three days of state testing this week so it's definitely NOT going to be exciting. Hopefully, my superpower turns out to be the ability to stay awake while really bored. (seriously, I'm talking counting ceiling tiles bored) We're actually required to just stare at these poor kids taking their test all day.

Ok, I'm done complaining. So now I'm just going to throw one of these in cause I feel like it.

Is it wrong that I take a sick pleasure in the knowledge that test taking is just as painful for the person giving the test?




My Weekend was pretty good. I got to see the season premier of Doctor Who (Stephen Moffat, for the record, is an EVIL EVIL man. Appearently the cliffhanger in June is going to be even worse than this one).... and I kinda went on a bit of a Disney movie shopping spree on Amazon. Snow White, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, and Enchanted on Bluray.... plus a couple other guilty pleasures like Neverending Story, Galaxy Quest, and Chobits.

Needless to say.... i know what i'm doing next weekend.

Hey all.

Thanks for the support. I came out of my funk today. I would like to think this isn't the reason, but I'm afraid it is - around this time a few years ago is when my ex and I split. Easter was the first holiday that I was alone, struggling for the first time as a single mom, rolling quarters to buy an Easter basket, and he was living it up with his new girlfriend. I've overcome a lot these past years and I thought I would get through this unscathed, but it seems it still sits with me. I had to actively think about why I was in such a funk and so withdrawn, that it's all I could think of that happened around this time.

I've got a date tomorrow with a person I didn't think I'd ever go out with. He sent me a rather rude message on a dating site and instead of ignoring it, I made a snarky, witty reply and it seems to have gotten his attention. He stopped talking to me like some common street trash and more like a man who is a decent human being. Maybe he meant his first message to me to be funny and I took it wrong. So, I've decided to give the guy a chance. We're meeting tomorrow for coffee/drinks. He's younger than me and I usually don't do well with younger guys. This is a 5 year age difference, but he seems mature beyond his years and gives consideration to the fact that I am a single mom, which means he actually read my profile. It will be nice to get back into the saddle since my break up in early March.

I know all about those seasonal Funks. I tend to go thru it myself about twice a year. It used to be bad, but after a couple years I've learned to recognize the warning signs to keep things from getting too bad.




Hmmmm.... I just realized something kind of scary. I actually haven't been on a date in.....um...... 2 or 3 years? I know, hard to believe, ain't it? The Guy with the harem hasn't had a date in eons.


Amazing how time just sneaks past on you when you aren't paying any attention.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Happy Easter to you too.

Off to my aunts house then my grandmother's house. DS and I have already had two easter egg hunts and played the new Wii game I got him for Easter. It's Disney channel's All Star Party. Fun!

Happy Easter!

Hope you had a great Easter.

[DCTooTall]

Ok.... Amazon is EVIL.

I log in today to check the status of my weekend orders (Snow white should arrive today! Everything else, tomorrow)..... and discover that their daily special is Season 1-4 of Doctor Who.

There goes another $100.....




(yes.... i'm an addict)

What a surprise. . .lol.

As i mentioned before..... My love of Doctor Who can be traced back to some of the same "nostalgia" as my love of Disney. I was introduced to both at a young age by my parents, and got to enjoy both with them as a kid.

So now I have a Disney Addiction, and a Doctor Who Addiction. And unfortunately, as I can't feed the Disney park addiction for another couple months, i'll just have to feed the Doctor Who addiction.

to the movie marathon. I have Snow White and Beauty and the Best (obviously my fav...hello screen name) I like Enchanted, but don't own it. Pinocchio isn't a favorite. What can I say, I like my Princess movies.

And I own The Neverending Story (one and two, though the original is best). Do you like the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth? If so, I'm going to think you're awesome...

I just had the anniversary of my separation on April 19 and I was definitely a little bit funked. I let myself wallow for a little while and luckily it didn't last more than a couple days. I am sending for your date. It will be interesting to see whether this guy's real personality is impression "A" or impression "B." Ooh...I feel like I'm running one of those soda blind taste tests. Hmmm. Guy tasting. I think I'll let you all come up with your own comments.

I can't believe how quickly the weekend went. Hopefully this weekend will be better. Have a great day everyone!

Thanks

Happy Friday everyone! I'm thinking about going on a motorcycle ride today since its been a few days since I've been on it.

I've just bought a bike, only a Honda 125 but it seems good to learn on. I had one when I was younger for a short time but never took my test.

Hey all. I came out of my funk today.

Pleased to hear that, it's amazing what can send you back into one, but I'm sure it'll fade as happier memories take over. Good luck with your date!!

Do you like the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth? If so, I'm going to think you're awesome...
Hmmm. Guy tasting. I think I'll let you all come up with your own comments.

Labyrinth is fab! Nearly as good as guy tasting sounds!!

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Labyrinth is fab! Nearly as good as guy tasting sounds!!

It does sound enteraining...and it looks like I'll be spending another morning with my mind in the gutter...

 

[Graeme]

Labyrinth is fab! Nearly as good as guy tasting sounds!!

IMPORTANT NOTE!! From the tastee's point of view of course!!


And the gutter's not a bad place to be, looking up at the stars!

 

[DCTooTall]

to the movie marathon. I have Snow White and Beauty and the Best (obviously my fav...hello screen name) I like Enchanted, but don't own it. Pinocchio isn't a favorite. What can I say, I like my Princess movies.

Well Amazon had a sale... buy 3 Disney animated Blueray combo packs and get $20 off, so I basically got Pinocchio for free and it has been ages since I'd seen it. There are other movies i'd probably rather have gotten, but thanks to the damned Disney Vault they aren't available.

And I own The Neverending Story (one and two, though the original is best). Do you like the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth? If so, I'm going to think you're awesome...

Already own those 2 movies.

impression "B." Ooh...I feel like I'm running one of those soda blind taste tests. Hmmm. Guy tasting. I think I'll let you all come up with your own comments.

Ok, I have a comment to make, but something tells me that it would take things to a level that they just don't need to be gotten to. (at least, on this "Disney board")

I'll go on a date with you DC. Where should we go? I know! How about WDW??

Works for me. Or we can go to Hershey. I'll even buy you chocolate.

Dates are overrated just stick with the harem!

Can't argue with that.

Ok I will admit it I have never seen Doctor Who.

Well... Since prior to the 2005 revival it was relegated to the realm of late night PBS, and was pretty cheesy, You are forgiven.

But i'd try and check out the current series if you could. It's a pretty good show, plus it is considered a Family show by most people, (And a kid's show if you ask thousands of kids in the UK), so it might be a fun thing to watch with your kids.

It does sound enteraining...and it looks like I'll be spending another morning with my mind in the gutter...

Eh, I sold mine on Ebay LONG ago. My mind had spent so much time in the gutter it was getting funky, so I decided to try and at least get a few bucks for it. It's amazing what you can sell or buy on Ebay.

Happy Belated Easter everyone!

Good Luck with the date Madonna3

I need to vent:
I am trying to lose weight, so far I have lost about 20 lbs, well this weekend I was not sticking to it like I should have been, its easter I was going to, and my grandmother started making all kinds of sarcastic, mean things about me. Why do family members think that they can open their mouths about something sooo personal. Unless its to encourage or if I would have asked for an opinion is one thing, I was so angry . Ok now Im done thanks for listening

Ok first....YOU GO GIRL!!! I am super proud of you losing 20 pounds!!
I am working on the weight loss thing and last year I dropped 40 lbs and 2 sizes so you keep doing what you have to do to make yourself happy.
Second, some family members seem to think it's ok for them to criticize because they are family and truly, they are the ones that should be encouraging you. if she was saying to be helpful she did a poor job of it. just know that we are here to help and encourage you and remind you that maybe finishing off a pint of ice cream in one sitting isn't the best thing for you (albeit an awesome feeling of accomplishment )
