FUN FIRST DAY! :) (Pictures)

/ disney world, pictures, vacation

We got to Orlando about 2:30pm. Flew on a tiny little jet called a Delta Connect. It was cool. We got to the hotel around 3:15 or so. We didn’t get to our room until after 4. Check-in took FOREVER, and by now I was getting antsy!

We didn’t get to the park until way after 5, maybe even nearly 6. There were many characters right there at the front. No Mickey, but Baloo was there, and lots of guys from Robin Hood. Then we saw Cinderellabration–that was really neat because all the princes and princesses were there. Jasmine and Aladdin, Belle and The (former) Beast, etc. SO NEAT! 😀 And the castle is beautiful, all done up to celebrate 50 years of something. 😉 See?

Yummy cheap food for dinner. Then we hit the rides. There were hardly any lines! We walked on most rides, and got to ride Snow White’s Scary Adventures, Cinderella’s Golden Carousel, it’s a small world (can you believe we just walked on that one??!??!), Dumbo the Flying Elephant, the Mad Tea Party, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin (this was wicked cool!). We also got to see Mickey’s Philharmagic. Okay, Mickey’s Philharmagic was so cool. It was a 3D show and Disney’s 3D shows are no joke! I mean, you experience it all. For example, if you see that they’re going to toss a bucket of water towards the audience, you will get wet. And during one scene, they were showing food and we could smell it. Fantastic. 😀 Plus, since it was the evening, the weather was pleasantly warm with a light breeze, and the sky was perfectly clear and beautiful.


Me on the Mad Tea Party

(You can see Aidan in my glasses!)

Amazing fireworks show (I took video of the finale, let me know if you’re interested in seeing it!), a snack of ice cream, and now I’m back in the hotel room. No high speed internet, so I won’t be posting a whole lot of pictures until I get back home.

Aidan had a blast. He was big-eyed most of the time, and smiling and having a great time. 🙂 It’s so much fun to watch him enjoy himself.

What a great first night at Disney. And I haven’t even been to Epcot yet!

In the morning (later today?) is breakfast with Pooh and the Gang at The Crystal Palace! 😀 Night!

So yeah. WHY did I see this outside when I looked out the window this morning?

I mean, this is really depressing. It’s the end of April! THE END OF APRIL. And it’s snowing. I mean snowing like a mofo. It’s still coming down out there. I mean, it may as well be December or January for all the weather cares that it’s SPRING, hello! 🙁

I had an incident. My windshield wiper decided to stop working again. I had to go to a gas station and pay way too much for a pair of pliers so I could tighten that bolt. Otherwise, I may have never made it home safely.

Now, the pliers reside in my car permanently.

Saw a movie with Rob, Josh, and Tyler last night. Sahara. WEIRD movie. Matthew M. though–totally HOT. Mmmmm. But the movie itself… meh.

Before the movie, I got to have dinner with Aabye-Gayle and her catepillar David. It was exciting because Aabye is from New York City and this was her first trip to Ohio. 🙂


Aren’t they so cute together?

Here is a picture of me and Becky from Friday night. I should have taken more pictures. There was an interesting situation involving Rob, Tyler, excessive movement, screaming, the almost lost footing of the recliner, and the near breaking of the lamp. I wish I’d had my camera out for that!!!


We are pretty.

Chris just put Saw in the DVD player. I have NO interest in watching that. So I’m going to go and head upstairs. I can’t believe the weekend is over already. The weeks go sooo slow, and then the weekends SPEED by. NO FAIR. 🙁 I don’t get enough time to hang with my friends. Especially with Tyler, since he’s moving away in a few months. Punk.

Ate at Cosi today. I was not impressed. Panera is nine million times better. And a lot less expensive, too.

My schedule for this week:
Monday: NOTHING
Tuesday: Chiro, then Bark at meeting Panera with Jenny E and Christie M
Wednesday: Drama Meeting (my house)
Thursday: Hopefully hang out with Rob
Friday: Hopefully hang out with the usual crew (Rob, Tyler, Becky, etc.)

In the words of the cutest girl on Live Journal Kassie (sleightofhandx): That is all.

Such Great Heights…

/ friends, life, pictures

I went to the zoo yesterday. It was loads of fun! 🙂 We had a good time and got great pictures!

The giraffes were awesome, as usual. There was definitely a vacancy, though. One of them had died last week. 🙁 That’s so sad for me, I LOVE giraffes.

My favorite part was when we saw the gorillas. They’re so hilarious. But there was a one-year old named Dottie. She had a blanket and was so sweet and good. I took her picture, and she seemed really interested in my camera. I held it up to the glass and she put her hand up against it. Then I showed her the picture I’d taken of her, and she stared, fascinated. It was the most precious thing ever, and everyone was going “aww.” I wanted to take her home with me!!! <3 Little Dottie (picture behind the cut)!

Pictures!

A Few Pictures


This one is especially for krista_nicole! These are the glasses I’m getting. 🙂


I’d LOVE this if the laundry basket wasn’t in the background. My hair looks awesome.


Another profile shot.


And another one.


HA, I look like druggie or something here, eh?

Something you don’t hear everyday:

“OOOH! MY BUTT IS WARM!” – said by our own lovely itskels. 🙂

So, I got up Saturday morning and there was snow everywhere. I’d been expecting a dusting; they (meaning the weather people) had forecasted it. But as we were driving up North for Aidan’s vacation (heehee), it was snowing like a mofo. I mean, inches and inches of accumulation. Slushy, slippery, nasty stuff. What in the fresh hell? It’s APRIL. But it’s also Ohio. It could snow in June here. ACK.

And I don’t even know if the darn forsythia bloomed yet, so IT DOESN’T EVEN COUNT.

Oh, don’t tell me you don’t know the legend? Spring won’t officially be here (read: the weather won’t break) until there have been three snows after the forsythia blooms. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen one flower yet. Well, no blooms anyway. Saw a few greens. And the poor daffodils that were pushing through–if they survive this, then I’ll bow down to them. Yes, to flowers. Shutup.

for Rob: IT TOO BIG FOR YOU!

So, I’m working on The Bark and Microsoft Word is being a right pain in the arse. Sometimes, I’ll add a line break and four pages of text will disappear! What in the fresh hell? I’m almost done with it, though. I have to make the collage (I’ll do that tomorrow) and get Joe’s cartoon and it should be all set. 🙂

Read “Keeping The Moon” by Sarah Dessen in one day. Wonderful, captivating book. *sigh* I can be that successful if I’d get over this stupid fear. 🙁

I’m going to read Broken China by Lori Aurelia Williams next.

<3 Young Adult Novels!

OOOHOOOH, do you want to see a video of Aidan acting silly?

Clicky and download a zip file,then. Inside is an mpeg file, and it should work with any player. 9.31 megabyte download. 😀 My son is crazy! (In a good way!)

I can’t believe he’s mine! 🙂

And… and PICTURES!! 😀


This is my sweet new car radio. (Head unit?) 😀


Becky and I at House of Japan for sushi and other really yummy stuff. I aime Becky tres much.


What I had. Okay, so I ate one before I decided to take the picture, but you get the point. Yummm.

So why did my husband put on nine pounds of cologne just to go to sleep?

Although I was expecting a huge cleaning project when Aidan was gone–I guess Chris did it all. So, I can spend a lot of time relaxing. Not to worry, there is still plenty for me to do, but not as much now. YAY.

Church soon. Then lunch after, maybe? And I’m not sure about Bible Study–I haven’t been reading and I have to get a jump on this writing and other projects while I have the chance (read: while I have the freedom to do it). We’ll see how tomorrow goes. Won’t be wearing my new outfit, that’s for sure, since the weather is doing that “I’ll be nice when everyone is stuck at work but I’ll turn CRAPPY on the weekends” thing again. Wah.

‘Til later…
