Ogled??? Ogled?????
I did not ogle!
I... admired. Cherished. Glanced....

Yeah... Okay.
I ogled.

I imagine it was much akin to what was happening during a certain parade... While a certain float passed by. Obviously, you have an affinity (might I even suggest fettish) with redheads??

Nope! No snow! Pool's open (Still freezing... but it's open) and it's 20C/68F right now.
But a few nights ago, I rode the bike to work... and the temp dipped down to 3C/37F for the ride home.
Yes... I froze.

I thought 20C was right about the time Canadians put on the swim trunks and sunbathed?

I have a fetish? That's so cool! I've never had a fetish before.
I had a goldfish when I was a teen, but this is my first fetish!

Seriously, I've talked about this with co-workers and friends.
20C is the right time. 20 - 23 is considered "perfect" temp. Not too hot, not too cool.

Looking back, each of us 7 students made errors that were graciously and kindly corrected, but often not until the END of the scenario in order to let that error really sink in. I learned the value of a total patient scenario, which is moreso than that of a single skill check-off. While those have their place, when you add panicking moms, cranky girlfriends, and needy family to the alarms and failing vitals signs, things get very stressful and it's good to have that be practiced in Lab where it's safe and de-briefed.

I can't imagine how stressful those times are/will be. But I totally get why you're going through this now.

Of course, I find it much easier to preach at/encourage you than I do to take my own words to heart at my job.

making up stories of myself as a pirate wench with hoards of gold. Only half of that came true.

But wherever that is, a day by the pool with a tall, frosty drink in my hand is something I often find myself daydreaming about during lecture. Sometimes I have to pinch myself and re-focus. Because, despite my current 88%, I would still really love my A this term. So need to focus and not let up until I've crossed that finish line!

Aw, but daydreaming is more fun!

The hardest thing I find about making these every couple of weeks is keeping it to 8. There are so very many things I am longing to do- especially after weeks like this past one. Here are my take-aways, and then I'll get back to Disney...

I can imagine so! But then that just gives you something to look forward to in a couple of weeks when you can write down 8 more!

I'm happy that it ended on a high note and that I felt like a redeemed myself somewhat by the end of the 2 days, but stressful does not even begin to describe all that. Being put on the spot and having 9 other people watch your every move, decision, word, etc... is HORRIBLE, but as you all have said, useful in the grand scheme of things. I will not soon forget the lessons I learned, from being more decisive and taking action when a situation warrants, to being thorough in assessments on the front end to keep a bad situation from going worse.

I'm glad to hear that things turned around and the week ended on a high note. But that's definitely what I assume this whole thing is about. Throwing you into a worst case scenario to sink or swim so that you really learn how to deal with it in a non life or death situation. Certainly valuable lessons have been learned!

But wherever that is, a day by the pool with a tall, frosty drink in my hand is something I often find myself daydreaming about during lecture.

You've got me daydreaming about it right now!!!

I know there will be plenty of time to make some more, because I'll be purposely building in that margin of time to take in the tunes when I'm there again. I hope you all are having one FANTASTIC weekend.

I like it! Time is always a hard commodity to come by at Disney World. There are always so many things to do and so little time to do them. Sometimes it is hard to delegate the time to just take it in and enjoy the little things like the music acts throughout the parks.

 

[Steppesister]

Sorry I haven’t been around here much lately, but I am STILL just having a really hard time feeling motivated enough about being here following the major update, to undertake learning all the new crap needed to function. Every time I try to get comfortable again, I find something else that makes me get highly agitated with the effort it takes to do the simplest of things anymore. The good news (I guess…..………….hopefully you agree) is that I can easily keep up with and converse with you in other more user friendly forums. Anyway, so much for my (latest) rant and on with my very limited comments………..

We are all busy, it seems! So not to worry.

I think the updates will come with practice and time. Luckily I don't have time to sit and learn all the really cool fun stuff here, so I'm happy with just simple replies and stick to no multi-quoting for the most part. I figure this summer when I have a bit more time, I can dink around and learn a bit more.

FB is certaintly easy enough for a quick exchange or howdy do, but can't quite tell the stories we all love to hear (and see) here. So yes, while I do love chat on FB, I love the pictures and group jokes and ribbing on here too.

I love the way you used the intricacies of the English language, and the multitudinous meanings that so many words can possess. The one I found the most humorous was for Progress being a “ceremonial journey.” Somehow, I must have missed that phrase taking the form of “A Princess’ work is never done.” l

HAHA! Thanks! I love the art of story telling and making something rather boring,and turning it into something fun to read and hear. (I think my "throne" needs a good scrubbing, actually.)

I have to admit, “this lady’s out of her ever-loving mind” never once entered my mind. Twice……..maybe…………but once……………..

I may or may not have meant that as tongue and cheek.

Loving all of your Mickey Head milestone markers; Sitting by the pool, drink in hand sounds pretty good right now.

Doesn't it?? I think I'll settle for a nice tall cold one on my deck until then...

Congrats again on your Exam scores, and your SIM work.

Thanks!!!

We have got to do some ToT together. I used to not care much for it, but for some reason it is starting to become a favorite of mine also.

You should really go back and watch some old episdodes and I'll point out all the cool, authentic props when we do!

When did you get hoards of gold??? Oh wait, you probably meant the wench part…………

You saw my portrait right? The one that @pkondz snapped as he ogled by?

Looking forward to some of your DISmeets during your trip.

ME TOO!!!

20C is the right time. 20 - 23 is considered "perfect" temp. Not too hot, not too cool.

Since I don't have the time right now to run a game and can't give out prized (yes, I do that too, and have since 2008) you'll have to settle for illustrious titles and fetishes. Contain your excitement. There are plenty more where that came from.

20C is still parka weather in my book; give me Florida 40C and 90% humidity!!

 

[Steppesister]

Of course, I find it much easier to preach at/encourage you than I do to take my own words to heart at my job.

I think that's a pretty universal truth.

Aw, but daydreaming is more fun!

Truth! And I've done more than my own fair today. Degenerative neurologic disorders, substance abuse nursing, and depression/suicide nursing are starting to really bring me down.

 

[Steppesister]

I can imagine so! But then that just gives you something to look forward to in a couple of weeks when you can write down 8 more!

Now I have to daydream some more. Thanks.

<< I sure hope so.

You've got me daydreaming about it right now!!!

Please tell me it's Dole Whips, Splash Mountain, and your toes in the sand on the Poly beach.

.... and the roses in the EPCOT Rose Garden, and the cheese plates over a LOOOOONG dinner at Cali Grill, and alleys inside Morocco, and the......

Stop!!! Hold the phone!!

I just learned something completly new to me that actually was a DISNEY moment as I was studying and came across THIS. (Disclaimer: I have not done any further research to confirm this, but found it absolutely fascinating! I hope you do too!)

Basically, if you don't want to watch 7.5 minutes of blather about Myesthenia Gravis in the link above where it says "THIS", let me share this...

It's basically an autoimmune disease that leaves your body unable to produce acetylcholine making you VERY tired with muscle weakness. One of the first signs you notice is a MARKED inability to hold open your eyelids. Apparently, Walt himself had a close friend who came down with M.G. and he patterned a certain character after his friend. Can you guess who?? (GUESS BEFORE YOU PEEK AT OTHERS' ANSWERS.)

This shouldn't be hard. But I do love me some Disney trivia and thought you might too.

 

[glennbo123]

and making up stories of myself as a pirate wench with hoards of gold. Only half of that came true.

I'm trying to decide which half.

I remember this picture! I remember the one with the guy from Casey's Corner too, but I don't like it enough to quote it.

[KatMark]

I continue to love your markers. And I hope you get that "A", but I think an 88 is very impressive.

I don't know if you realize it or not but the Yacht Club does not have DVC...only the Beach Club of those two resorts.

 

[afwdwfan]

Definitely Sleepy

Let's just say that I wouldn't be in school probably if the gold half was true.

What? No guitar? No maracas?

I like them too! Super fun to make and daydream about from week to week. This upcoming test is certainly going to give me a run for my money; tons of information to memorize.

Thanks! I am not very familiar at all with the EPCOT resorts and have yet to do a LOT of research. But comments like this certainly help me on my way!

 

[Steppesister]

Excellent guesses. Obvious, I know; just hadn't even considered that specific characters were modeled after real people.

 

[pkondz]

Whoops! I forgot to guess.
Would've guessed the same as everyone else, though.
Still interesting.

The answer was obvious, but still a rather fun fact. This was just a teaser to more "fun and games" for when this baby REALLY gets going.
