Valentine's Weekend At Disney

This was our second year in a row, spending Valentine's at Disney except this time we booked a hotel and stayed there all weekend. Moses stayed at a cool new boarding place near our house and from the big smile on his face when I picked him up he seemed to have a good time too. Traffic on Friday was horrible but we did managed to eat dinner at Downtown Disney and go into Disneyland for the parade and fireworks. We even ran into Mickey and Minnie but Penny had fallen asleep so she didn't get to see them. We took in an old times movie at the Lincoln theatre courtesy of the AP Days events going on. We even got a swim in in the hotel's smallest square pool. Suffice to say, we all slept good that night. We woke up on Saturday and found that the hotel offered a free breakfast buffet so we all filled dup before going to the park for another day of fun. On Valentine's Day, Sunday, we exchanged gift in our big king sized bed. Received our cookie order from Hannah (a special DL delivery to the hotel) and spent the day at the park where we ran into Disney friends Logan and Cheryl and ran into some of our friends in town from Portland. We spent a ton f time seeking out characters especially the "princes" who rarely come out except on Valentine's day. We also got to talk to the Disneyland train engineers. Despite the train being closed you could still access the train and the engineers and get photos you never could get before when the train is open. Overall, it was an awesome weekend!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
