Space Mountain: Clothing Optional - All done and true even if it is April Fool's

Joining in the fun- came over from Anita's TR. Your intro has me laughing already. Can't wait for more! popcorn::
 
I'm joining in too. I also followed over from Anita's report. Sounds like this is going to be a fun ride!
 
Dawn - I'll be driving through your neck of the woods on Saturday. I hope to leave Walker around 8am or so so I should be down there between 11 and 12. I'll call you on Friday and we can make plans! IN the meantime, shouldn't you start writing?? I am eagerly awaiting details of the trip!!!!
 

I found you also through Wigd's TR. This sounds very interesting...


Where in MN are you?? I'm near St. Paul.
 
Geesh! You could have told me you started the report when we talked on the phone, ;) and what kind of friend am I that I just didn't instinctively know. :rolleyes:

I'm a little late for the show, but I'm here!!!! :woohoo:
I did not know I was starting this until I did ! All of a sudden I went to find me on the PTR page and I was gone. Sent to CTR abyss and so shoved into first gear for the new one.

Dan and I are still sicker than a silver back's behind so I would have liked to jump in with a few installments underway but alas...the Tiki God's have spoken and the new Brady Bunch extravaganza is underway!;)

I'm in! The title brought me over from Wigd's TR. :)

count me in as well!
Hi and so glad to see you here!
Joining in the fun- came over from Anita's TR. Your intro has me laughing already. Can't wait for more! popcorn::
I do not know if you read the last TR...if not - I will please ask you do to supliment your reading pleasure here. In fact I will link one of the best things I have ever written here....right now so you can get a feel for my smart mouth hilarity. The last TR has links to the funny stories in the last PTR (I will do that again here) as well as a chapter list. There was a great Tampon Tirade last trip (not mine Thank God) and it is a not to be missed moment in the history books of all things Dis.

So. If you are new and wondering why she is so crazy. Here is a perfect example of what can go wrong in my life.

Let me know what you think after you read it!

I'm joining in too. I also followed over from Anita's report. Sounds like this is going to be a fun ride!
I am so glad I can borrow Anita's groupies from time to time. It makes it easier than finding my own!:lmao:

I will await your call! Maybe we can do lunch - do you want to come over here and I will cook something famous?:love:

It is and was!
Where in MN are you?? I'm near St. Paul.
I live only a few feet from you then! I grew up in Lakeville actually! I actually put on a Dis Meet in October. We will be doing one in Jan or Feb again - let me know if you are interested in joining in!
I can't believe I didn't realize you started this until now! Can't wait to hear all about it! :cool1:

Sorry! I hate that I can't get back to the PTR to let people know. It was just all of a sudden locked and loaded and I could not get back in to tell anyone! Glad you are here!:hug:

Chapter One: Leaving day and Late - as usual

It was an early morning on December 16th 2009, as I awoke to the excitement of leaving for Florida. Excited to get on the road and totally not prepared to leave. In fact the night before as I lay in bed making my last ditch effort in a list of all things needed, I realized how not ready I was.

You see we were driving. In December. To Florida. If you are a follower of Dizneydawn you know most things can go wrong and they do. I was leaving my oldest son’s ex-girlfriend in charge of the house and 2 dogs and 2 cats because there was nobody else willing to take on that job.

What can go wrong with having a slightly obsessed, ex-18 year old girlfriend
P1020033.jpg

(Treyner and Carly at Prom in May)
have total access to your home for over a week? I mean she is not Charles Manson and she is not a bank robber. She is snoopy though and thus I had to ex-girlfriend proof the home in case she became sad or mad again about Treyner (my oldest son who is 19) and decided to pilfer or rifle through the rest of his belongings that were still here. Ya just never know people.

Treyner was not happy she was the caretaker but she truly was the only one willing to come to the house 2-3 times a day and I know loves animals and would take good care of them and walk them and hug them and squeeze them as well. She is slightly nutty but not Silence of The Lambs nutty and my dogs are not named precious so we should be good.

Then there is the animals.

There is Ace:
P1030072.jpg

He is our 110 pound Golden Retriever who is just one year old and very much a puppy still. He has separation anxiety and because it is so cold here (I did not want him outside obviously the whole time. The plan was to have him stay in our still needing to be remodeled bathroom. It is finished - just needing to be re-done. It is a bigger bathroom - about 15 feet long and about 4 feet wide. I mean what is he going to do - eat the toilet? He does fine when he knows that you are still in the house so leaving when he can’t see you is easier. He is too big for any kennel any longer we have found that can go inside and at least he had room to move about in the bathroom between visits. We stocked up on bones, tennis balls, chew toys and different things to keep him occupied.

There is also Skunk:
P1020108-1.jpg

Yes I said Skunk. The kids named him as a puppy because he had a white stripe on his belly on an all black coat. Tell me how much of an idiot I feel like yelling Skunk to the neighborhood when he is in the back yard and it is time to come in!

He is old. 13. He is crotchety and he likes Carly. That was the other reason I picked her. He hates our neighbor girl - (he has many reasons and she annoys us as well so maybe dogs are good judges of character!:rolleyes1)
And he will listen and mind Carly. He had full reign of the upstairs while we were gone. He is not into much mischief anymore unless he gets a bee in his bonnet and decides to take off down the street just to prove he can still do it. He comes back in a minute huffing and puffing like an old man and I just shake my head at him.

There is also 2 cats who are much easier to control. Casper and Garfield. Casper is the Jenny Craig Cat who has a belly and a foopa and shakes her wide behind when she walks like she is Beyonce and not Roseanne Barr. Maybe she has body image dysmorphia issues. I should probably call Maury Povich and let him know. Garfield was a barn cat when we got him and he is the cuddler and also the one you have to make sure does not get outside because unless it is cold - that is where he loves to be.

I made sure that they had plenty of food, litter, treats and toys.

Then I had to re-pack Dan and Baylor who were gone and joining us in route. The weather had just changed in Florida and cooler than predicted temps were expected. But we were driving. To Florida. In the winter. So you had to be prepared still.

In fact the only 2 people of the 5 going that were home, were Carsyn and I!
P1020372-1.jpg


It would be I: Dawn! :cutie:
P1030039-1.jpg

The one who plans and thinks she has a clue only to throw everything out eventually and run with the bulls. I love Disney but I love to enjoy my family more and those things are not always in the same universe when you are dealing with three teens body clocks. This trip would be more laid back. I work with Silpada Jewelry and absolutely love my job. I am beyond sick of my weight and will be posting my weight loss journey through the spring as I write the TR here. I am not a happy camper with it at all but try doing better with accepting pics of the me I am now. If I ever hit goal, I will be wearing a bikini to Epcot and nothing else. Okay - maybe a sarong. But nothing else. Oh and that is after my girlies get lifted and gifted. That is also key. Cause if you are skinny and hot and you have to hold your chicks in place with a bungee cord - you still are not hot. Just lettin ya know.

Then we have my beautiful daughter Carsyn. :lovestruc
P1030068.jpg

(Carsyn as an 80's girl for this past Halloween)
Usually the bull I am running after...er I mean with.
She is a great student and usually the one to point out when rules are being broken by her brothers. She is also the one who thinks she is getting stewed over somehow on most days that end with a Y. It is hard to believe that the only girl, the one who I waited for my whole life, is the outcast. She thinks so though and thus, we have all decided since we can’t change her mind, we might as well agree and point out the horrible treatment ahead of time. It is much more fun that way.

An example: If it is her turn to do the dishes. I might say: “Carsyn, since you are the least favorite here I picked you to do the dishes. Your brothers who I love more and treat far better than you are going to mow the lawn and rake after.“

Take away her pitty party and I leave her stumped and not sure what to do. It has become a favorite pastime of mine and actually has brought us closer. She now laughs at herself and the new ways I come up with to let her know her Cinderella status.

Seriously though, she is a great girl. She talks to me all the time and sometimes about things I want to not know she knows but she is so funny that you have to laugh. Like last night, she explains to a car full of people, that she had caught a show called “The History of Sex” on the History channel. Now I would have rather died than say that to my parents but not Carsyn. She is full of hilarity.

She wanted to explain to us that she learned in the old days women’s legs were so sexy that men could not handle the sight of them. That they would become so aroused over a calf muscle that they had to insist women wear long skirts. Then, the same men with libido issues could not handle the sight of table legs either. In fact it turned them on so much that they had a hard time (no pun intended - no really it wasn’t) walking past them without becoming aroused. Thus the table skirt was invented so men did not need to see table legs either.

She was laughing so hard at the thought of this and giggling to no end. Instead of Playboy, men would be getting Levitz Furniture catalogs!

That is Carsyn. She will always make me laugh and always be the person to point out the stupidity in things. I adore her when I am not choking her.

Carsyn, who was supposed to have a full day of school that Wednesday, was happy I shortened it actually for 3 hours and then came home to help me panic...er I mean pack. :scared1: We were just doing a short trip this time so no need for coolers or all the big ticket items. She also had an eye appointment that day so there was just tons of running and time wasting things that was nice to have a second person to help with.


I had gotten a few returns I needed to handle with Silpada before we left and Carsyn, with her newly hard copy drivers license in hand, would be happy to drive the errands that needed to be done, while I worked and nested.

Yes I said nested.

Not like Big Bird.
images

Like Mr. Clean.
images

Why is it that I can handle my office being a piler not a filer type of place until I need to leave? I mean really, if there is an accident and I am in a box and 6 feet under will it matter how many piles I have left behind?

No.

But it is a dumb habit I have. Clean house before I go.

So I spent a good chunk of time cleaning and scrubbing and making sure no laundry was undone or dish. :headache:

Carsyn packed herself quickly, we finished wrapping gifts that we needed to drop off for a family we adopted this Christmas and then loaded up the car to run to banks and finally, head out of town. Make sure all the animals were fed and locked in appropriate places and then...burn rubber. We had wanted to leave at about 2 p.m.

The time we finally were on the road:

P1030134.jpg


So just running a bit behind! :scared1:

We looked at each other and laughed. Here is Carsyn as we left the driveway!
P1030136.jpg



The car was not nice and neat either. In fact it was a mess. We just threw the things in there knowing that Dan - when we picked him up, would load things on the roof and re-pack them anyway so why should we spend what would soon be wasted time? Sounds logical right?

No - I know it is not. It simply is the reason I hate packing the car. Hence the reason I say I do not load a car.

I wash and dry clothes. :laundy:

I bake.
I cook. :stir:
I decorate.
I mow.
I wax on and I wax off.
(It did not sound dirty until I wrote it and then I was laughing to hard to delete so it is staying.)

I do not load or unload a car.:car:

That is a rule :idea: and there is a good reason for rules. :teacher:

So Carsyn and I in our ghetto miser van, hit her bank to deposit some Christmas fundage and then headed to Burnsville to the charity drop off for the Christmas gifts. We actually made it by 6:05 p.m. and were on our way to Florida. Via Des Moines. Which is not on the way. To pick up our next character.


Up next: The drive to Des Moines and Dan.
 
I have to clean the house before I leave on a trip too - it just feels better to come home to a completely clean house. Knowing that 472 loads of laundry will be waiting as soon as I unpack, it's nice not to have to worry about the house too!

And, you sell Silpada?! I LOVE Silpada jewelery! My DH does not love my addiction to it though :rolleyes:

In fact I will link one of the best things I have ever written here....right now so you can get a feel for my smart mouth hilarity.

OMG. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine! But I trust you won't be upset to know that along with my horror I am snorting with laughter. I love that you were able to write about it with such humor! I am definitely going back to read you previous TR in its entirety.

-----------

As for your Chapter 1 update, you still crack me up!

Hope everything worked out with the ex-girlfriend caretaker. I also have a golden and she WOULD eat the toilet so hopefully yours is better behaved. :rolleyes:

I am also on a weight-loss journey and would love to follow along with you-- maybe we can encourage eachother. And I will be right there with you in Epcot in a bikini.... after of course the girls get lifted and gifted. :lmao:

I am :rotfl: over the summary of the History of Sex. Table legs? Seriously??

Truly can't wait for more! :goodvibes
 
I was at WDW the same time you were, can't wait to read what you all got up too :goodvibes
 
I am new to your TR's and you are cracking me up already. Can't wait to read more...

And, you sell Silpada?! I LOVE Silpada jewelery! My DH does not love my addiction to it though :rolleyes:
That is why I started to sell the goodies! I earned $3,000 in free jewelry in my first 100 days so no need for Dan to complain! He asked if he still needs to buy me more jewelry :confused3 and I explained YES! Duh! :rotfl:

I am glad you liked the story! You will laugh at the rest of the PTR stories aimlessly placed last year as well as the TR. It was a good one!

Thank you!

He did not eat the toilet...some of the wall...not the toilet...oh and the shades he mangled as well...and the plunger I had hid...that's about it! :worship:

That would be awesome!

I know! Who wouldn't laugh at that!
Truly can't wait for more! :goodvibes
I will get another one fired out tom probably - we have a Christmas here though so I am not promising!
I was at WDW the same time you were, can't wait to read what you all got up too :goodvibes
Jo! I wish I knew you were there! Rats!
I am new to your TR's and you are cracking me up already. Can't wait to read more...

I am so glad you are here and I hope to keep you laughing as well!
 
So glad you told me that you updated, in my haste to scurry over here and get on the first page I forgot to subscribe.....
That is now remedied!

I'll join the weight loss clan, does that mean I have to get on the scales?
I also need the time and date of the EPCOT bikini escapade.....
 
I've actually seen that episode of The History of Sex! :rotfl2: That show in general is hilarious to me.

I'm on a weight loss journey of mine...with some help that is. I had gastric banding surgery on August 26th. It's a long road but I'm glad that I did it. Best thing ever.

I'm interested to see how the caretaker did....?? Hmmmmm.
 
I came over from Wigd's PTR...after your title suggestions for her I just had to check this out! :laughing:

Tracy

Me too!! I figure anyone that can come up with that many catchy titles must write an amazingly hilarious TR. Looking forward to reading all about it.

I will let you know the time and date. Is it ever dark for EMH at Epcot? That will most likely be the time and date! :lmao:

I will have to catch it! Maybe I can learn something!

So glad for you! Dan has had it as well - stil has about 50 pounds to go - then will get some tucking and sucking and re-evaluate!
I'm interested to see how the caretaker did....?? Hmmmmm.
You will not believe some of the things that happened...and not just with Ace!
Me too!! I figure anyone that can come up with that many catchy titles must write an amazingly hilarious TR. Looking forward to reading all about it.

I am getting to the funny part! I did take some notes this time but seriously - need one of those tape recorders that reporters use! Thanks for comming here!:banana:
 
Hi honey...didn't know you had started. I've been MIA....but I've remedied that now. I finished my Oct. TR and I'm thinkin' on a title for our December one before I get it started!

Now I get to read about the hours that were happening before you wearily reached us in TN! And I can definitely attest to the one-liners. I have some stories of exchanges between you, Carsyn & Treyner that had me laughing for days.... I'll have to join in when you get to that interlude. (We didn't take any pictures, did we??)

Anyway, I'm in, of course! Where else would I be?

that was just as funny the second time around!! Thanks for that:thumbsup2

I just want to say that Carsyn has a wonderful sence of humor!:rotfl:

Your furbabies are very cute too!
 
Too funny about the ex crazy psycho girlfriend playing pet sitter. I so hope this is foreshadowing of some kind. And the whole thing about Carsyn giggling over table skirts and table leg fetishes.... :lmao: I'm still snickering.


:rotfl2:


MORE!


please ! :rolleyes:


Seriously though, great TR start as always! Can't wait for the next update, but totally understand the delayed Christmas celebrating. Holidays are a great time of year, but man do they mess with our Dis habit! :rolleyes1
