Maybe the policeman won't show up on the night of your court date and you will not have to pay!! I got out of paying once for that reason!

Hopefully I can stay awake! Sometimes it's tough being on the east coast.

Amen! I may have to read this installment over coffee in the am!

We are back from our trip & I just got caught up. I think it is so cool that Dylan rode TT. That is really brave for a boy his age. I'm glad that he enjoyed it. The remote control game that you played was so cool. Did you make it up or was it the kid's idea?

Waiting for your next update before I make any more comments... Actually, I should say, waiting for the verdict....

Howdy Peeps! San Antonio is a blast as always. (Durn Mexican food does it everytime.) I am currently engaged in a rousing round of Where's Wal-Mart? The games began when I asked the kid at the front desk of the motel where the nearest Wal-Mart was. I know the term kid is a bit subjective, but I use it advisedly. This dude looked like he was about 5 years shy of needing his first shave. I immediately knew by the look in his eyes that I was in trouble. It was, if you will allow me the cliche, the "deer in the headlights" look so often referenced in the modern nomenclature. He shifted his weight, gave a few glances in every direction but mine, and then tapped on the desk. This is the same reaction I get daily from reps. One will invariably come to my cube and say something like "I've been troubleshooting this Blackberry for an hour and it just won't connect.". To which my first reply is "Did you verify the serial number? You know, that FIRST step you are supposed to do 30 seconds into the call there Ace?". Only I say it in a manner that is positive and shows support. Because I'm a professional. And HR said I have to. In a manner that was positive and showed support. It is then that you see in their eyes that the answer to your question is no. But you also see that they don't want you to know the answer is no. So their mind is spinning to try to find an answer that deflects the question without making an actual yes/no commitment. Finally after a pause that was awkward for all parties involved Front Desk Mini Man RAISED HIS HAND and went Ooo-Ooo-Ooo! Oh no he dint. Oh yes he did. I raised an eybrow to let him know it was important that he conclude the thought and he apparently got the hint. "Go up this road five miles and there is one on the left." I verified the road in question by both name and gesture and noted that he looked quite pleased with himself.

Having secured what little recon I could, I set off on my quest. Turns out he was surprisingly close to being accurate. He was only short by about seven miles. Feeling mighty relieved to have actually located a Wally World, I headed inside to aquire my bounty. Which was in fact NOT Bounty the paper towel, but was indeed socks. Turns out there was a footwear miscalculation and Tahli's socks did not match her intended outfit. I saw no issue with this personally. My philosophy on socks is, as long there are two, you're good. I've been known to wear dress socks with tennis shoes, white socks with my suit, and even the occasional one white/one dress combo. I figure nobody is going to pull up my britches leg for an ankle inspection. And if they do, who am I to deny them a show. I was quickly informed by First Lady Biscuit that this situation was unacceptable. Tahli is supposed to perform in the district talent contest at 8AM and CANNOT do so with improper accessories. This situation demanded action. On the bright side I discovered a donut shop, a BBQ stand and a Best Buy so at least I'll be entertained tomorrow during the break between morning and evening activities. I was thankfully successful in both locating the proper size and color of socks and in actually returning to the same hotel I left. (Which I once did NOT do and still feel the need to apologize to the couple in Hampton Inn room 315.)

Well that's all for now from the warped land of Biscuit. Time to crash so I can miuster the energy to get through tomorrows glorious activities! Kidsfest ends tomorrow night and its back to the homestead.

Night Peeps!

Edited to say: please excuse any typos. I typed this on phone. Where? It's not relative to the narrative. Let's leave it at that.

For typing this all from a phone from an "unknown" location...didn't your legs fall asleep?

 

[jordanyosh]

Glad you're back.....

 

[jordanyosh]

Hi Jordan, This is a pic of me and Paul-in case anyone is in Disney between June 6 to June 13 say Hi!
I just figured out how to post pics and I am excited!

Nice picture!!!!

Congrats on learning to post pix!

 

[jordanyosh]

I love Texas in the spring.

Nice....

 

[jordanyosh]

As promised Poolrat....

Isn't this cool?!? I was so surprised to see them get these! I'm kinda hoping he leaves it at home so I can look at it while he's away to school next year.

Here's another picture for you to see what some others look like. These are my boy's bestfriends. They've all swam on the summer team together from the time they were in 8th grade, and four years on the high school team together. My boy is in the middle, yes I realize he has goofy hair.
I look at it this way... he's been a outstanding student, held a job since he was 16, get's up at the crack of dawn for swim team, never get's into trouble, never smoked, never done drugs, hasn't drank what I didn't hand him a taste of every once in a blue moon and didn't start dating until 17. If the hair is his only rebellious outlet, then that's pretty darn good in my opinion. Some times you have to pick your battles, this just wasn't a hill I was willing to climb or die on.

You done good Millie.

 

[jordanyosh]

love your style

Update coming soon....

My sister Bubba was out in Cali-fornie-way at Disneyland today. This made me think of you! Kinda creepy, I know. But it sure is neat to think there was that much potential of her possibly bumping into you!

 

[jordanyosh]

Hi Jordan - I am only onChapter 5 - just "met" you today and already feel like you are an old friend! Is your birthday in June? From what I can gather in only a few installments, yes - I ask cuz mine is too and 2012 is a biggie for me as well! Loving the TR - thanks!

My birthday is in february...the big shindig is in June.

If you go back to my PTR/TRs from the past you'll get to know me even better.

 

[jordanyosh]

OMG you are hilarious! Those leggings had me I love your TR and cant wait to read more!

Thanks so much. Really the DIS family provides a lot of the humor. I just provide the thread...they inspire me
