barb - yeah for u, 3 days off baby!!!

marcie - i got to get up & drive my caddy to the CC on Sunday @ 7am...he called me to pick him up @ 10:30 am...everybody had cancelled since the weather was sooooo cold & rainy (no - duh, so why was he scheduled in the 1st place ). Hoping he gets called next weekend...we're in the hole as to gas consumption lol

IMO FLA weather is unpredictable shoulder seasons, it's ranged from cold enough to wear a mid-weight winter coat to t-shirt & shorts beginning of Dec...guess it keeps it interesting...right Todd?

bonny - how r us adjusting to RL after vacation? least u have Oct. to look forward

Tammy, there must have been some people who read the series as much as you did when I saw it, cause they laughed at odd moments, kinda like I do when I see a movie based on the book and they get a character just the way I imagined. Happens a lot with the Harry Potter movies. I had to control myself so I wouldn't vocally boo Professor Umbridge cause the actress was so spot on in her portrayal.

I need to finish the rest of the series (stopped half way through A Horse and His Boy). But I've read Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe like 5 times, and had the same reaction when I saw it the first time. OOh, the scene where Jadis first meets Edmund, I almost messed myself Tilda Swinton was so good. Anywho, bed time for me!!

Tilda Swinton was amazing! Absolutely perfect in and for the part. And you're right about people laughing in odd places about characters. Brent and I were the only ones laughing in a few places, usually when Trumpkin the dwarf or Reepicheep the mouse said/did something perfectly, just as we had always imagined them.

I hope they don't stop at four movies. I almost think they'll have to make three more just so it fits together and has a finished feel to it. Brent read somewhere that The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the next one being made, so they kind of have to do the two books after it - The Silver Chair and The Last Battle. They can get away with skipping The Horse and His Boy and The Magic Ring, but if they introduce the Pevensie's cousin Eustace in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I think they'd have to finish his involvement in the series storyline.

heading to the parks, pray for sun sun sun!

Have fun, hopefully in the sun sun SUN!

We are staying at RPR for the first time in july also and can't wait

Boy, that's coming up fast! I was actually thinking of adding another ticker to count down how long I have to wait to make our reservations at HRH. Since I can only do it six months ahead of time.... That's so weird after having to book a Disney resort vacation as far in advance as they allow you to, or miss the rooms you want entirely.

That is Katie from the Horton Hears a Who movie. In the movie, all the kids adore Horton, so when he discovers that there is a tiny world on his clover flower, they all pretend to have one too. Katie declares her clover, "On my world, everyone is a pony. They all eat rainbows and poop butterflies." That's where the box in my sig comes from.

I have GOT to see that movie. We missed it in the theaters, so I can't wait until it's on DVD. That line sounds like something you'd hear on Robot Chicken.

Afternoon everyone ...

Hope everyone is having a good Monday ... we are enjoying our warm sunny weather

Glad you're finally getting warm weather. We had a few VERY cool days over the weekend, and now it's broiling. It'll probably never cool down again until November. Good thing there's a pool at the YMCA!

Evening everyone!

Got back from graduation a little while ago (boring!)
I'll try and post some pics later!

 

[roseprincess]

Hi all-

I have been a little tired today. Feels like I'm coming down with a cold(I hope not).

Barb- thanks for the info on the Meal Deal. Very appreciated

Coastermom- thanks for your input, too

St. L- please take care of yourself, with the blood pressure issue

Marcie- sounds like you have a very busy schedule

K-Fish- Glad all went well with your brother's graduation even tho it was boring.

Mac- how are things going for you? Is your wallet found yet?

Hi to all


Oh, we made ADLs at WDW for the Plaza restaurant so far and 50's Primetime Cafe. I have never been to the Plaza before, but I have been to Primetime Cafe twice so far
We are looking into the DDP, even if we are a little late on it.

Update: DH's left eye is doing very well! He can see very well out of that eye now and you can't even tell surgery was done on it
He wears a contact in his right eye, which he usually wears glasses(before surgery). He has to use 3 different eye drops, 4 times a day. He has his 1 week follow-up appt this Friday.


Have a good evening everyone.

 

[the Dark Marauder]

I am exhausted. High humidity + no AC = ack.

 

[RAPstar]

yay!!! my new Chuck Palahinuk book, "Snuff", came in the mail today!!

Rob...lemme know if you'd like to borrow Bubba...he's a first degree blackbelt in TaeKwonDo and testing for his second degree in Sept.

My lil bro is doing his 2nd degree this summer. And I think the 2 yrs of ballet did me in, so nothing too extreneous.....unless I'm called to do it in a show (Sweeney Todd April '09 here I come!!)

Tilda Swinton was amazing! Absolutely perfect in and for the part. And you're right about people laughing in odd places about characters.

Trumpkin is the good dwarf, right? I just want them to do The Magician's Nephew, if only so they can bring back Tilda Swinton!! lol Now, I really do wanna finish the rest of the series. Maybe when I finish the book I just got.

Hi, everybody! Busy weekend. Friday night, DH and got a babysitter and spent seven hours watching movies and eating dinner. It was awesome!


Taminator.

Sounds like a wonderful evening out! Glad you had a great time. I have to get Ally out to see prince Caspian.

Good morning everyone!

Took the day off because my brother is graduating from college. Catch you all later!

Way to go!

Hey homies!

i brought some lunch.

You always bring the best stuff!

Good afernoon everyone.It was a warm 1 today.Kinda laught when I pulled into my yard.After all these years I finnally know were my septic is located!Its the only parst of my yard thats green anymore

Glad you found your way over here.

I hope you get some rain soon.

 

[Metro West]

I'm heading off to bed...have a good night!

 

[loribell]

Night Todd!

 

[macraven]

I am exhausted. High humidity + no AC = ack.

suffering here also darkie
44 degrees and the furnace has ran all day......

 

[loribell]

95 degrees & no ac = ack too

Yep the ac is not working again!

 

[marciemi]

95 degrees & no ac = ack too

Yep the ac is not working again!

AC - what's AC?

(Note - I just read my husband this and he said that it's that big metal box outside our house that doesn't do anything! )

Yeah, I'm with Mac in the cold and crummy weather camp! We were all laughing at Matt's soccer game that the water parks, pools, beaches, etc. will all open in 5 days. Why????

His game was freezing. I was wearing pants, a turtleneck, a sweater, a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, a windbreaker and a polartec lined coat. And mittens. And was wrapped in a polartec blanket. I did start with 2 blankets but donated one to his GF who was of course dressed like your typical teen in a t-shirt and flip-flops.

However, I don't know if I've told you guys how well his team is doing this season. Before today's game, they hadn't been scored on in 10 games. They've won two tournaments. Today they did get scored on twice, but they played a really good team and managed to score twice as well and end up with a tie. Fun to watch!

Stopping by to say good night homies and to everyone I am feeling much better but still under the weather I guess its a cold from the weather being in the 70's one day and 50's and 60';s the next and running around without a jacket wasn't a great idea but anywho have a great night homies

 

[Tinker-tude]

Any help appreciated on the Meal Deal. Anyone here do the Meal Deal?
Mac and Barb, you both asked me to ask for help on my UO planning,so I'm asking for help!

I haven't used it, but you can buy it ahead of time online at this link: http://www.universalorlando.com/tic_meal_deal.html#mealdeal

Hey homies!

i brought some lunch.

That looked delicious. I wish I'd gotten here in time for lunch. Anyone have a little left to share?

So happy for DH's recovery! They've improved eye surgery so much in the last ten years. It's a great time of history to have eye problems!

Trumpkin is the good dwarf, right? I just want them to do The Magician's Nephew, if only so they can bring back Tilda Swinton!! lol Now, I really do wanna finish the rest of the series. Maybe when I finish the book I just got.

Are they doing Sweney Todd in Dallas next year? I'm so jealous!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Trumpkin was the good dwarf and Nikabrick was the bad one. I can't believe I called The Magician's Nephew the Magic Ring.... I've got DH's Sci-Fi Ringworld saga in my brain right now, and there were rings in The Magician's Nephew. But it's still so embarrassing to make a faux pas like that. I would LOVE to see that one made into a movie, too. I want all of them!!!!!!!!!!! But if Disney isn't doing the whole series, I wonder if they'd sell the rights to another production company? The original series as it was written had The Horse and His Boy as the fifth book, just a flash-back story in the Golden Age of Narnia that fans would love because they already loved Narnia and the history they knew so far. The Magician's Nephew was originally the sixth book that explained the creation of Narnia, but the creation doesn't really matter as much before you love Narnia to pieces already and know the significance of some of the details later in it's history. If they're cutting any out, those are the only two they can cut to make it feel like a full sequence. I don't see how they can only do four of the seven effectively. Unless they combine the Silver Chair and The Last Battle as one really long movie.

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!! STOP SNORING!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah team! You must be really proud of your boys. Congrats on all the musical pursuits, too! My best memories before marriage are all associated with singing and performing in band, choirs and theater. If they don't appreciate your time and efforts now, they will later. You're a great supportive mom!

Technically they're doing it in Garland, but close enough. Well.....not to you, but it does give you a reason to come down and visit!! Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets obsessed with their favorite book series. I'm still excited that they're doing the last Harry Potter film justice by splitting it in 2.

Good Morning Homies
