Rye toast... it's what my grandmother always gave me... and gee... mom still does...

Sweet Mickey Dreams!!!

I can't do my cards until it feels like Christmas. I'm just not feeling it this year. I'm still waiting for it to hit me.

Which is why I decided to go to Disneyland next weekend. THAT should get me in the holiday spirit! My friend/co-worker Debi is coming with me and we are bringing her 6 year old granddaughter. So if a kid at Disneyland (for the first time) doesn't do the trick, nothing will!

Peg's house is decorated, so hanging out there helps and I decorated my desk at work this eveniing (also decorated the Dept. tree), but not doing much in my house. (Just getting it straightened up tomorrow will make me feel better, I know.)

Hope you are feeling better Deb!

Michelle, hope you get some sleep tonight!

Well I can't just go to DL for a fix. I'll have to wait until moving to Florida....ha.....to get me in the mood for Christmas by visiting WDW. There's something wrong with that statement.

OH well....have yourself a fun, fun time and I hope it does the trick for you!!! I'm sure it will.

We're not cutting down a full size tree this year. I've got the potted charlie brown tree that I bought last year. I'll use that again this year. I haven't killed it yet. haha. It's so cute, it comes with it's own lights and ornaments....they're all so tiny. I'll sit it up on the table in the living room and I'm done. The presents....all for the kid....will look nice around it. That's it! I'm done!

I'm feeling a little bit better this morning. I think it was the chicken soup and a good night's sleep. I didn't wake up at all the whole night and that NEVER happens.

 

[HollyTyler]

Thanks Holly....it seems so, but I don't dare trust fate. Look what happened already with the boys.

Deb, we booked the first day but it is extremely likely we won't make it. I have kept the booking till I have to cancel though. Last week it was a definite no and I had stopped coming on the Dis and reading the FB page as well as thinking about the vacation. I had come to terms with not going almost. Basically it was the money as overall it is a very expensive vacation with flights too and time each end. But also I was to see a specialist about my pancreatic problems and that means our annual travel insurance on anything related is null and void. I couldn't travel over there without insurance as you know what any medical costs could be. However John, bless him, quietly was looking at finances and as business is doing well right now he thinks we MIGHT be able to manage it. Just the health issues now.

Went to see the specialist and he thinks I have chronic pancreatitis too so that would mean out travel insurance would be ok as long as the scans i will be having don't show anything else. I am covered for my chronic pancreatitis having paid extra but not anything else. Of course it is a horrible diagnosis but for now I am not too bad so would like to travel while I can and the hawaiian cruise would give me a chance to see so many cruising friends in one go!! I do have to be well enough to make that trip though and don't want to be silly.

It will all be a tight thing though. PIF end of December and then a month before we start losing money if we cancel. So have to have my diagnosis before we can book flights and all in that month.

I posted some of this over on the Hawaiian thread so perhaps FB friends from there are saying something on FB that you are noticing.

Sorry that is so long. Not feeling too good this morning so not explaining things too well so going on a bit!!!

Oh Marilyn, I don't participate on the Hawaii thread, so didn't realize all of this. So sorry. I really hope you're able to make the cruise. I'd love to see you and John again. On our afternoon in Animal Kingdom a few years ago (not sure if you remember that day long ago), I was sad about not getting to talk much with you both. Looking forward to spending some time with you on the cruise if you're able to go. I hope it works out and your health cooperates.

had a GREAT day today!

started out at DAK with the 1145am Wild Safari Trek. OMG!! SO recommend this! Amazing! Great weather too. Really enjoyed the chicken curry (sweet - uses mango curry).

Came home for a quick rest (took of shoes, but no nap) while the rain came down, then it was back out to Disney. I met Angie at their room (Dennis was napping) and had a good chat, then the 3 of us went to the Turf Club for dinner. Quite yummy...especially the Espresso Chocolate Torte! WOW that was good!

Now I'm home....trying to wind down & then call Jackie then head to bed.

 

[mishoe01]

HAHAHAHA----my SS just called me!

 

[mishoe01]

tomorrow is another busy day.....going to Lakeridge Winery for a Wine & Chocolate Festival, then hopefully getting together with Ros (maybe at Ghiradelli's).

Monica, completed my Google assignment. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I'd already 'googled' him for another reason!

Aidan Turner (Irish actor not to be confused with Aiden Turner, British Actor). This shot is from Being Human (UK). He is VERY good!

I'd previously googled him when I was on Peter Jackson's facebook page and he was introducing the actors for The Hobbit. Imagine Richard Armitage and him in the same movie. Think I'll be up for another hour catcing the next Being Human episode.

Now that doesn't look anything like the british aiden turner!!!

Spent time yesterday looking over Hawaii excursions! I normally don't do that until after I've paid in full, but this time I just can't help myself!

I know lots of people aren't even getting off the ship in Ensenada, but I plan on doing the "Taste of Mexico" excursion because I'd definitely not be able to do that one with Tyler. He hates Mexican food. So looking forward to that one because you get to learn to cook the meal before eating it. That's good for me since I don't cook. I'm thinking I could bring that knowledge home with me and hopefully make it for myself at home too.

In Honolulu I want to do the "Explore & Taste O'ahu's North Shore". 6.5-7 hours! Kauai: "Waimea Canyon" adventure. Again, another one I couldn't do if Tyler were with me because of how long it is.

I'm having trouble deciding on Hilo. My top choice is tied. One is Volcano National Park Odyssey & Macadamia Nut Factory". The Mauna Loa macadamia nut factory is a MUST for me because a giant container of those nuts has always been a part of my Christmas gift from my mom for most of my life. I'm obsessed with them! Yummy!!! The second one tied for my first choice is "Kilauea Volcano Bicycle Adventure" mainly because I do want some active adventures on this trip, again, this is one I definitely could not do with Tyler because it's for ages 12 and up. Other choices I'm considering are "Waterfall, Cave & Black Sand Cove" and "Mauna Kea Summit Adventure". The Mauna Kea one is way beyond my budget though, so that one will most likely fall off my list.

Also having trouble deciding on Maui. I've narrowed it down to "Iao Valley & Maui Tropical Plantation", "Hana Picnic", "Rainforest & Waterfall Hike", and "Haleakala Crater".

Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!! My next step is to check reviews of those to see what other people have said (on another site we're not supposed to mention here).

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep an eye on the volcano's - heard on the news this week that one of them is very active this year... I'm sure they will let you know...

I'm not sure what I would do if I went... mom wants to see Pearl Harbor some day... but she's from that generation so.....

I'd just love to go... Period!!!!

Well, today is the 3 year anniversary of my dad's death. It sometimes feels like he's not gone. We didn't have a good relationship. VERY strained after the divorce. He never took responsibility for what he did and I was the one that was left behind (as far as the kids were concerned... ) (I was 14).

I had to realize after he was gone and I read the condolences from others that he had a totally different life that didn't include me.

It's odd though.. as some of you might remember.. I was the one who buried him. Or as mom says "she carried him to his grave"... I never thought of it that way until she said it. It was just his ashes... but I did... I wouldn't let anyone else handle them. My brother still is mad at me for it... but one of us had to be the responsible one. I hope to finally get his foot stone this spring (there is a headstone for the family plot)


I have also decided that I am going to seek counseling probably in the spring. I have a very bad separation anxiety.. mostly from the divorce and I get VERY bothered when people leave me. And as we know... hopefully not for a long time... mom will leave too and I need to be in a good place when that happens or I will simply fall apart. We've always lived together so this will be hard.
