Southern Cali - Day Three - Last Day

Today was crazy at the parks. I think the population of the world was stuffed inside the two Disney Parks. It was absolutely crazy!! We did so very little, but, we got the things done that we had not done. So, all-in-all, it was a very productive day.



We started out in California Adventure - we did the Toy Story ride there. It was pretty fun, something I had never been on. And there was a couple of other things there that we did that we weren't able to do yesterday.

We then went over to Disneyland. We went to the Mr. Lincoln exhibit. That was pretty cool. I honestly didn't know it was there and the last time I remember seeing it was when I was like six years old. So that was pretty awesome. We did Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, got my trash kicked by Wendy - it was a little bit of revenge for me kicking her butt on the Toy Story ride.

We had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe and then Wendy and I went shopping - the rest of the ladies went back to the room and were pretty much asleep before we even got back AT 8:30!!! Good Gravy - bunch of party animals, aren't we!!!




The sweetest thing happened on the way back to the hotel on the shuttle bus. Wendy was in a seat and I was across from her. This little girl and her parents got on, but there wasn't really any seats together. The little girl sat by Wendy and was shivering and could barely keep her eyes open. Wendy snuggled her close and she fell asleep on her until the hotel. So freaking adorable.




This has been quite the adventure. It's been quite theh bonding experience for all of us. We've had some highs and a couple of lows, but for the most part it been an awesome time. I love each and every one of them with all my heart and I'm glad we've had this time together!!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here: Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!! However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comment
