The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[LaLa]

Hey Everybody. I go to church and come back to find everybody postin' pics left and right. Love it.

Mel, you're one hot Mama. Love the Tigger Ears and the Karate Kid pose, BTW. And especially together.

Vettechick: That picture of Mr. Vettechick is soooo sweet. Just think, if he is that sweet holding your friend's baby, just imagine how ate up he would be with your own. Nothin' sweeter than a grown man going gaga over a newborn, I always say.

I need some advice - getting ready to book WDW for December but we're having hotel decision trauma, so Maelstromers, Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge? Help! Can only afford Standard room at either so what would you pick?

Having stayed at both, I much prefer the AKL. It's really just personal preference, but the whole resort really seems exotic and fun.

Mel, Mai Tai say that you look entirely too young to have an 11 year old daughter.

Vettechick, that picture is adorable!

 

[LaLa]

Okay, Mel.

Gotta story to tell.

It reminded me of Calvin. DS had a Calvin moment. Heck, he's a boy and he's 8 so I guess all of his moments are Calvin-esqe. Or maybe Calvin is DS-esque. Cause that IS what we really call him.

Anyway, last night we took the family out for Japanese. Hibachi bar and the whole nine yards. I'm sure this place is not QUITE like Teppenyaki, but the food is good and we always dig the onion volcano thing. Anyway, we realize that there will just be the four of us. We usually go out to dinner the same way we usually go to Disney, with friends, so we always have enough to take up a whole Hibachi bar. Last night we knew we'd be sharin' our table with 4 other strangers who most likely would be judgin' us for drinkin' Coke with our meal.

Anyway, we sit down and in walks the rest of our tablemates. They are actual and true PROMDATES. Yep. They are all gussied up and headed to the prom. It was at this point that I realized just how old and unhip I am actually getting to be because the guys had that now hip hairdo where their eyes don't show through the mess of hair on the top of their head. I turned to DH and said "DS will NEVER look like that. "

They were nice enough, very giggly and nice. We made conversation and it turns out they were headed to the prom of my alma mater. So we get through the meal. The kids always have to have those cheat chopsticks with the rubber band on them. DH had dismantled his and had one chopstick in each hand.

The rubber band was wrapped around them and he was gettin ready to shoot it like a slingshot.

I notice it and tell him don't you dare, put that down right now or so help me....

With that settled, I look away and tell DD to finish her Rice Soup that she made all on her own. I look up and notice DH and Prom Date #2 down on the end making eyes at each other. They are doing the Eye Talk thing. He checks for zuchini in his teeth.

Then he hears what she is saying to him.

"What's that? No....no...you're kidding....a rubber band? In your drink? No. Where on earth would a rubber band have come from? Well, it didn't come from THIS table...."

I look at DS in horror only to find he has his head buried in his fried rice.

He was soooooooo embarassed and only fessed up after I got on to him again. His face was SO red and he kept saying "I'm soooooooorrrrrry. I'm SOOOOOORRRRRRRY Mom. I didn't know it was gonna land in her drink"

They were pretty cool about it and just laughed it off. The girl actually said she should probably give him a buck just for makin' the shot.

Just thought it was pretty funny. Had to share.

 

[HaleyB]

Ok all you cool hip people, help me out with something.

I already know what a dork I am, so you don't need to rub it in or anything, but..

What is "I like pie" a referance to? The kids keep saying it and cracking each other up, should I be concerned?

 

[HaleyB]

La La my kids and rubber bands are a frightful mix. My Mother can not understand why I don't have any in my house.

Also those little sword things they give ya with adult drinks. My kids scare me with those.

 

[Shelby5514]

Jennifer,

That is one Pur-tee dress. Mai Tai say that you will be a beautiful bride!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Maelstrom!

Vettechick: Woweeeee! That guy...errrrr, baby... sure is CUTE! Which reminds me ~ How is the Beadboard nailing coming along? How big was baby Bo?

LaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, LaLaaaaaaaaaaaa Lalalala: Geez LaLa! What a nice thing to say! But, you know, you already had me at hello! And... I saw a picture of you, too. You are so hot it hurts. I loved your story. Thanks for telling. I love a good tale. I hope you told DS, "Good shootin', Tex". 'Cause that was a pretty small target area. Celebrate their little victories! You wanted to call them "Promdate", too. Right to their faces, didn't you?

Ava83: In Ontario, all happyhaunt know two things: maple sugaring and karate. Karate come from Ontario, sixteenth century.

PongoperdigirlJennifer: I checked out your pictures on your posted link. You look absolutely beautiful! Amazing. But... it looked like there was more than one dress there. To me. Were there? Or am I needing reading glasses too? I'm confuse-ed.

HaleyB: Is it Weebl and Bob? Never mind the sword thingies. It's those dreaded tiny drink UMBRELLAS that scare me. They could put Barbie's eye out with that!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Kay... The weather here is beautiful, warm and delicious. A spring day. Our snow is completely gone. Spring is in the air. As they say. So I'm heading out for a ride. Must find my chaps.

"...I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-earned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste..."

Darn song is STUCK in my head. STILL.

Help me.

 

[MommyPoppins]

horsegirl - No pain. A little cramping the first night, a HORRIBLE headache from the major blood/heart pumping, but all is well now. I'm kinda surprised there is no pain considering they walked outta there with a container full of my cervix. How long do you think before they start to censor that word?

Well, everyone I'm all caught up. DH is out at Walmart doing the weekly shopping, and I think I'll go lay down with my little Badger till DH gets home. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Maelstrom....

 

[LaLa]

Maelstrom!

IS A FASTPASS?!?!

LaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, LaLaaaaaaaaaaaa Lalalala: Geez LaLa! What a nice thing to say! But, you know, you already had me at hello! And... I saw a picture of you, too.

Thanks for the so hot it hurts comment. I think. And yep I wanted to call them Promdate. Made me smile, actually, when they came walkin' up.

Man, I've been on this board for WAY too long.

"...I'm in need of some restraint

Darn song is STUCK in my head. STILL.

Help me.

Can't help ya there because thanks to you, I've been singing it in my head since yesterday.

And the only thing that song reminds me of is Tom Cruise with fangs.

Thanks for that.

 

[honeybee213]

I am so glad I found you again. I have been off the boards for a while, and didn't realize you were locked on the TR boards . I can't wait to hear more about your fun adventures. And the next time you fly out of buffalo, let me know so I can give you directions to the Chili's you couldn't find.

 

[HaleyB]

Maelstrom!

IS a FASTPASS??!!!!!!!!

PongoperdigirlJennifer: I checked out your pictures on your posted link. You look absolutely beautiful! Amazing. But... it looked like there was more than one dress there. To me. Were there? Or am I needing reading glasses too? I'm confuse-ed.

I think I see two as well. I like one better, but I am not telling which one until I am asked

HaleyB: Is it Weebl and Bob? Never mind the sword thingies. It's those dreaded tiny drink UMBRELLAS that scare me. They could put Barbie's eye out with that!

My kids like to disfigure barbies and anything like a Barbie that comes in a Happy Meal. Think I should worry about that? I have to admit I sort of encourage them sometimes. The one good thing about the drink fru-fru is in order to mantain peace I have to have two drinks so I get two fru's for the two kids. The 19 year old can get his own.

"...I'm in need of some restraint

Help me.

Can't help you. If I manage to get it out of my head, somehow it gets replaced by the theme to Gilligan's Island. Or the "You make me want to La La" song which I think my brain made up a tune for, since I really don't know what song that is. Yesterday my son said La La in the car and my brain was immediatly here with you guys.

 

[horsegirl]

Take that all you Maelstrommers! I can't keep up wid ya's. Actually GeorgiaAristocat inspired me to post this pic. Hopefully everyone saw she is a maelstrommer from way back....Just stopped by to be entertained for a minute. Whilst playing with the dks today I steered Carson into building his favorite lego model, at my slight prodding, as I wanted to post a pic of it here. Played Disney monolpoly with them too. Yeah, I got away from these boards for a few hours..... Imagine my surpirse when I came back and saw another pic of a very hot chic whom I hadn't seen before.

jeesh Mel, you got the whole package, girlie girl, just like Momofmnm, vettechick, Lala, MommyP, and Mark. Shelbie, you're a dish too, but I haven't read a report from you. So how cool is it guys to see the face behind the words?

I gotta come back here one more time to post another pic for Zzub and Ms. HH, if I can figure out how to post a pic off my thread.

MomofMnM, welcome Back! I've always wanted to go to MOA! Can you do that mini report here in a your free time? And I didn't know you were on vacation last week. You better make your students do lots of choice time and steal away and join us. I raaaather like your humor and sweetness.

Mommy P- I still say owie! Can I just say it once here? OMG-I am afraid to call you that little nickname as I know you don't want the tag fairy to get you with that one. You'd be branded for life! But watch out with all that down under stuff, they could maybe get you with that.


Until then, maelstrom......

 

[Mr. Silly]

I already know what a dork I am, so you don't need to rub it in or anything, but..

I think I should mention that I think you are a bit of a dork. Of course since I am a nerd, that might not be a bad thing.

What is "I like pie" a referance to? The kids keep saying it and cracking each other up, should I be concerned?

I can't remember to put the phone on the hook, to call the doctor, to print the thing you asked me to print, to drink the tea I made hours ago, or... Well... There was some other stuff I've forgotten recently, but the details are hazy... But I do remember the episode of Fairly Oddparents where Cosmo said this. I googled it for the canonical quote (anything you find on Google is canonical, right?):

Cosmo: "I heard shouting helps you remember things. I LIKE PIE!" (Poofs up a pie and shoves it in his mouth.)

 

[Alysa]

And BTW... you know what? You can strap your two youngins into the car and take them to see a wavy guy, too. There's one in your town, too. On Dorval Drive south of the QEW. West side of the road. Heh, heh. I have a few friends who reside in the lovely town of Oakville, On.

You can thank me later. After the screaming has ceased. I'm all about THE LOVE, Baby! Cheers, Mel.

I know - I've seen it too - creepy dee to quote a friend - I thought that was the one you had seen but I didn't mention it because I didn't want you to think I was stalking you.

Vettechick - that picture is beautiful! Looks like he will make a great dad on day - good catch!

Okay - here is a link to my site but no stalkers please!! PS - I created it in safari and still haven't worked out the bugs in explorer if you have a PC - sorry!

Shelbie, you're a dish too, but I haven't read a report from you. So how cool is it guys to see the face behind the words?


Until then, maelstrom......

IS a FASTPASS?!

TRIP REPORT? You guys intimidate the hello out of me! How could I compete with the 'greatest trip writers EV-AH'? Well, I mean I wouldn't be competing, as it is not a cometition. Unless your Zzub. Or Mel. They've got sumpin' sumpin' going on. Not sure what, but it's going on. I just may throw my hat in the ring after our May trip. DH is planning it all and I know SQUAT. He's gettin' off on teasing me about it too...I keep reminding him that if he want's to have 'FUN' at Disney he better not push the teasing too far. So that may be the trip to start. We'll see.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

I'm back. And... all silliness aside, I was wondering: So ~ anyone else here thinking about ZZUB today? I am. 'Cause I'll bet all the ZZUBs went to church today. And I bet it was probably kinda hard. But, also, good. So I just want to remind him that they are still on our minds. Maelstrom!

And... where the heck is Marky Mark? I hope he got out of the mosh pit at that wedding ok.

I heard some rumour. From someone on this board by PM. That... get THIS... Jon Bon Jovi has been at WDW all week ! Anyone else got the goods on this one?

And sorry about sticking that song in your heads.

I'll replace it with another one of my favourites. By The Boss:

"She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you'll know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away"

There. Love that song. Secret Garden.

About all your comments about the two pics I posted of some people . Well... Gawrsh!! Heh, heh.

Also... Heather Locklear is back! Heh, heh.

And MR.SILLY: I LOVELOVELOVE the quote in your signature. Plus... I heard that you got 'deleted' the other day. Too. Sooooooo... this is for you:

A quote from the unequalled Mr. George Bush "It's no exaggeration to say the undecideds could go one way or another." Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha... man!

Now THAT sticks in your head. Don't it?

Ooh I'll take this one, perhaps. Do they by any chance like to watch the Disney Channel? My kids watch way too much of it. That's why we have a dog named Lilo.

Anyhow, this new High School Musical thing on Disney Channel, there is a few lines about "I like pi." as in 3.1427... blah blah blah. So, mai tai suggest that it might have come from there?

K?

WHAT??????!!!!!!!

What do you mean competition? We're not in a competition. I think.

Unless you count getting the Seinfeld quotes. But... even then... I think I'm up on him.

As for competing over Trip Reports. I'm pretty sure I've kicked that big baby's butt around the block and back. By now. Heh, heh.

Do your kids by chance happen to watch MXC? ( Most eXtreme elimination Challenge) It's shown on the Spike Channel around here. I have teenagers and they think it's hilarious. However, the show is full of off-color comments and jokes, but the comments are passed by so matter-of-factly that most of it goes over even my teens' heads.

I have to admit though, I think it's pretty flippin' funny, too.

"Don't Get Eliminated!" LOL

 

[tiki23]

Maelstrom!

...is a FASTPASS??

It was me...talking about the 11 kids. And controlling them. Only not just kids...11 GIRLS...all age 6 or 7. And not all mine. ........I told them if they didn't want to practice any more I would have all the MOMs do the dance. I told them I could even get us moms some cool cheerleading outfits. They would rather DIE than see that. I guess. Cause then they started listening.

That ought to do it!

But just in case it doesn't, in my own experience with my daughter and her friends that age, they idolized my son and his friends (girls and boys) who were about 11 yo at the time. Do any of the kids have older sibs that might lend a hand? Or do you know a 6th grade cheerleader who could help you out? That would be perfect!
