"Ello puppets" (officially taken from POC 1 &2)----
How was everyone's Sunday?? Mine was good, but I did not get nearly the amount of things done that I was supposed to. In fact, I did not get any done.
I ended up going to my parents' house yesterday after my tea
(just for Donna
) and we went to see POC again--yay for Johnny. After the movie we went for dinner and then I just stayed the night because after DISing for a while I was pooped. But, instead of being a good girl I stayed up until 2am reading about Steph. Plum's antics. Needless to say I had to sleep in a bit this morning and I was chatting with my mom and dad about the trip in October and all of a sudden it was noon. How did that happen?? My dad asked if anyone was hungry (of course) so he wanted to go to IHOP for the funnel cake breakfast---because he lives for sweets. I was good and had a poached egg, dry wheat toast and fruit. YUM-E. Of course I was sitting across from a funnel cake perfectly "fried" with strawberry topping aka red sugar water with wilted berries and LOTS of beautiful whipped cream. SIGH.
It virtually tasted heavenly. I then came home and have been piddling around here a bit but not doing what I was supposed to do. I even took a nap. I am off tomorrow, however, so maybe I will be more focused. Let's hope.
Lyzziesmom---did you get your doughnuts?? I am not a sports fan so I have no idea if KC won or not. I cannot believe what a mint the Build-A-Bear company is making. The woman who founded it is from St. Louis and was at my sister's wedding. They do not keep in touch much anymore but will talk every so often. She wouldn't know me from Adam--or the female version--which I'm not sure what that would be--Adama?? You get the picture.
Your mom sounds like a hoot. Nothing like going away to college and discovering your things are gone. Did she store it or give it away??
Good luck with the house tomorrow.
coming your way.
MImom--Your DH's "fishing" story cracks me up. Have fun while he is away and don't work too hard--he may just come home to a whole newly decorated house, huh??
Hi Ashley--glad you like your toes and brows. Is this the first time you have had your brows done?? I have extremely sesitive skin so many times after waxing I am still red the next day. I sometimes recommend putting ice on them after waxing or if you do not have any allergies to cortisone you can put a bit of that on them (a cream you can pick up at Walgreens or Target or wherever--Cortaid is the namebrand but they have off brands that work just as well--do not use this if you are pregnant or nursing, though, because it is a steroid cream FYI)
I charge
$25 for eyebrow shaping. Yes, I know this is steep but I work in a high-end salon and I don't set my prices. We really take time with the brows, though. We book out for 20 minutes and really look at the shape of the face, features, etc. It is still less than Anastasia, however.
Maybe for you there would be a DIScount--get it??
I'm tired. Forgive me on the slap-happiness.
April--
I think it's DH+Me+Disney(=)that make the Magic.
This has to be one of the sweetest things I have ever heard. Yes, I know what you mean about wanting to go so badly. Right now I am appeased because I know my October trip is right around the corner. But, after that, I will again know the feeling well. I did go on my first solo trip last Feb. and had so much fun. Yes, it was strange at times but I spoke to people when I wanted to and didn't when I didn't want to. I surprised myself by going solo but I think I was just so burnt out on everything and really needed to get away. I, of course, chose WDW because I know it like the back of my hand and felt very safe and unthreatened there. I would do it again in a heartbeat. My motto was "alone but never lonely".
Yes, it would be nice to hang out with all of you. We could sit around with our coffee and tea and coke and chocolate milk that Donna supplies.
Someone could teach me how to scrapbook because even though I have never gotten into this, I think it would be fun.
Donna--that's cool that you live so close to your sister. Maybe you DS could get one of these ----->
.
Will you really give mini trip reports when you're gone?? You have more patience than I, girl. I cannot wait to hear how your Fantasmic plan goes. We are doing this on our upcoming trip but we are eating at Brown Derby. I am a bit nervous about the timing, but I am sure all will work out.
Linda--how did you like POC?? and Outback?? yum. Okay--here goes my sweet tooth again, but have you ever tried their hot fudge sundae?? I cannot remember what it is called but it is vanilla ice cream rolled in toasted coconut and swimming in the most outstanding hot fudge. I cannot rave enough about this chocolate sauce--it is their own secret recipe--believe me, I have tried, but with no avail. It is wonderful!!!
About the pics--I am new to the digital camera thing so right now I don't really have any pics worth posting. My problem is time, though. I just need to sit down and figure it out. Soon, though. Hopefully I will get some great pics this Oct. Plus, did I mention I hate having my picture taken??
Whole 'nother story.
Hope your feeling better. Get some rest.
YM
---I finished it. Did you?? Did you like the ending if you did finish. We must discuss. I cried when you know what happened to you know who. I am such a sap.
I am truly torn between the two men in her life. At first I was all about Morelli but now Ranger just holds a special place in my heart.
Oh my goodness, I really think I am morphing into Stephanie Plum.
Have a good night everyone.
Everytime I turn around we have to run to the store for something else he thinks he might need. Now I have been after him for weeks about this. This morning he decided that he needs a new sportcoat 
It really works well.
I think I'm craving the time of reconnection that DH and I usually find there amongst the Disney magic. 
). I want to go so bad I've even thought of going solo but I just don't know if it'd feel the same so then it would really be a wasted trip. Once I went w/ a girlfriend and her two kidlets and it was fine as trips go but it just wasn't the same w/out DH. 
I think it's DH+Me+Disney(=)that make the Magic. 
The only ADR I have made for this trip is for the Fantasmic Dinner Pkg@ Hollywood&Vine.(I have been hearing some pretty negative reviews, but will have to find out for ourselves) 
what a weekend so far! Yesterday morning I went over and gave my MIL a haircut and a perm, then to movies to see POC and to Outback for dh's b-day that was Tues 
Ohhh that was tasty! Today I've been a couch potato... sinus driving me crazy and just wanting to sleep!
Oh yes...lets go..cruise, wdw...whatever works! 
We won't let them get you! Hope you're doing better!
Have a good day off tomorrow too!!!
