The Battle For My Wallet V: Beyond the Number IV (Chapter Eighteen, p.75, 5/18)

[EEyorelover22]

I don't know who Eli Stone is or what he looks like. I've been told I look like Jeremy Piven.

Eli Stone is a new show on Thursday nights on ABC (aka Disney) and he a lawyer. Eli has hallucinations...visits from George Michael, etc...that "show him the way" and which cases to take. It's a ridiculous show, but DH and I love it. It takes us away from life....just like the World.

Jeremy Piven...handsome guy. People tell me I look like Princess Di...not now, but before.

Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.

Hi Zzub!

I don't know who Katie is but no one named Katie goes to court with me. BTW, welcome back. Haven't seen a post from you in a while.

Don't tell me you've forgotten the fart magnet from your college days
You've really got to lay off the snack foods...they're rotting your brain.

We had lunch plans at Garden Grill. We discovered this place last year and really enjoyed it. I’m happy to report that it was very good again this year. And we got a good table and good character attention as well.

It was all good.

I'm mixed on this "joint". I DO like the characters, but the food is just kinda.... "eh". It's a $100 bill easy when you add in beer and wine. The character interaction is second to none though.

we asked Dale to show her some chipmunk love. Which he did.

I'm on my way home from DLR right now and learned something new on the trip I'm almost afraid to bring up. I had no idea that Chip had the black nose. I thought they were identical.

Baby ZZUB got her first up close with Mickey Mouse at Garden Grill. She was very interested in him and, like many babies, she wanted a good suck on his nose. But her Mamma but the kibosh on that in a hurry. So Baby Z didn’t get to taste Mickey’s nose but she did get to touch it.

You never know where that nose has been.

I would take turns quickly, accelerate hard and randomly shout, “You’re not Ron!” and “Vote for Pedro!”

You and your ND quotes.

We got seated and I double, triple and quadruple checked her seatbelt for her. As the ride started, I reminded her it was ok to scream. Unless you’re in space where nobody can hear you.

First time with MB I thought for sure he'd die and my life would be over.

When the cacophony finally died down I asked her if she liked it. She said she did. I asked her if she wanted to go again. She did not.

And realized it was gone.

Uh oh!! Two words... fanny pack.

The ride in the Mexico pavilion exists for one reason. To make Maelstrom look interesting.

The new Three Caballero version is actually worse than the one which preceded it. Worse!

At least they removed the video of the famous Mexican lifestyle of sitting in a pool and drinking cocktails.

Did he get "a call" or THE CALL?

Either way - Congrats to him.

Hey ZZUB. The latest chapter is as awsome as the first. Can't wait for more.

Turned out to be "the" call, for the time being. He had turned down a peach of a job and then suddenly six weeks had gone by with no prospects. We were getting on each other's nerves.....it was a great relief. BTW, that job has come and gone, but it's all good. Now to find him a Mrs....

Well, it's March 14th. And that can mean only one thing. No, not that. The other thing. Today's ZZUB's birthday. The big 4-0. The day he officially becomes an old fart.

But not really. You became an old fart LONG ago.

I knew it was coming up so I went back to check the date on the last little birthday soiree we threw for you on the Battle IV to make sure I had it right. And I was right. Was there ever any doubt? Anyway, I hope you don't mind but I baked you a cake for the occasion. No, it's not chocolate. But from what I hear, vanilla is pretty good too.

Here's a lil sumpm sumpm for your desk at the office...

And last but not least, the essentials for every forty year old...

No, I don't know what half of that stuff is for, but I have an idea you do.

Happy Birthday ZZUB!!!

I hope you have an awesome day, my friend. And I pray that God continues to pour out His blessings on your life in the years to come with the same generosity that He has in years past.

Have a good one, ZZUB.

Campbell Scott: You're really sweet. I have no idea when we're headed back to the World but it can't be soon enough for me.

Happy Birthday, ZZUB!

May God continue to bless you as you become "older than dirt!"

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

Happy Birthday ZZUB!!!

Have some potato salad, Yoohoo and Pop Tarts for dessert. Or go all out and find yourself a Denny's!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
I agree, 40 IS the new 21.
Because 30 is the new 18.
Lindsay is the new Britney.
However, I don't want to know who the new George W. is.
I'm just sayin'.

I hope the Lord continues to bless you and your family with health and happiness...and more assaults on your wallet. I hope you continue to bless us with the entertaining and heartwarming tales of your trips to the House of Mouse. You truly have a gift for writing and sharing, even if it is sometimes TMI. You put smiles on the faces of people all over the world. I don't know you personally, but if your sentiments about your family and about your faith are any indication, I have to say, I wish I'd "met" more people like you so far in my lifetime.

Here's to the big 4-0 and many more! Here's to continuing to ooh and aah over non-pictures of your children (and your legs...and hidden-Mickey-having-vomit). Here's to the DMVC - refillable until 2078, as is your right.

Roll Tide.

Happy 40th Birthday Z!

40....Gosh! I hope you have a flippin' sweet day where all your wildest dreams come true. Have a lunch of tots and quesadillas, and maybe forgo the Yoo Hoo for some Red Gatorade or a little carton of milk.

Then, for dinner, I think they have a birthday cake waiting for you over at the Hawk & Dove. Oh, and a big block of cheese

Have a wonderful day. And welcome to the 40's club!

[Sneezie]

I just caught myself up on your trip report.

It's my present to you.

No need to thank me.

 

[loonieroonie]

Happy Birthday Zzub! I've enjoyed your reports but have always been too shy to say hi. May God bless you with many more wonderful years.

 

[DreaGirl]

Happy Birthday! Your an oldie, but a goldie in my book.

 

[Kala]

Hope you have a great day, Big Z, and hope you get LOTS of big hugs and kisses from all of the Z Girls. That is the best present of all!

Birthday or not... We WILL expect a new chapter BY Monday morning. I know that I use that as incentive to get up and going. I usually stay up just a little later every other Sunday night....... just in case.......

I just know that your next 40 will be blessed because of all you do. For your family, and for us... your extended family.

These are for you...




and we can't forget the FHOAM...

 

[Frickles]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
