Done at Disney - A Wrap-Up



So, I got home around 11:30 this morning. I have to say, I can barely keep my eyes open. I thought I would share some final thoughts about our trip.

The Awesome:

1 - spending time with my sisters and my mama.
2 - the fact that we spent four nights, three days in one hotel room with one bathroom and didn't kill each other.
3 - going with Wendy and Cheryl for their firt time on: Soaring Over California, Hollywood Tower of Terror and California Screaming.
4 - getting a cute flower painted on my face (I have never had my face painted before!!)
5 - making the guy on the bus blush by offering to let him sit on my lap.
6 - Monkey Business!! The only thing at the Rain Forest Cafe that tasted good.
7 - watching Wendy snuggle that cutest little girl on the bus.
8 - getting a "Happily Ever After" button because Wendy was a crybaby!
9 - giving my button to a little girl in a Tangled princess dress - she kept coming over and talking to me at breakfast and showing me her cute dress.
10 - wheelchair access in Disneyland!! NUFF SAID!!

The Odd:

1 - the fact that six women could share a room and still manage to all get showered, blow dryed, made up, dressed and out the door within ninety minutes each day (may have even been quicker).
2 - having a guy on the bus say "I remember you ladies" the last day - we must have been a little rowdy the day before?
3 - bonding with my sisters and mother over a discussion about poop and farts
4 - the fact that a little old lady, probably a hundred pounds soaking wet, thinks she needs the entire bed space. She convinces herself that she is sleeping on the edge, what she doesn't realize is that when your head is in the upper left hand corner and your feet are in the lower right hand corner, you are taking up the whole bed!!!

The Bad:

1 - not sleeping for four nights straight - OK, I slept, just not good.
2 - being on the ground floor of the hotel with the second floor walkway right above your room - the closer it got to the weekend, the harder it got to sleep.
3 - no water pressure; in the hotel and Disneyland
5 - Monkey Business - $11.99, at that price, you can only have one!!
6 - having the swimming pool and hot tub closed for refurbishing!!
7 - there ain't anything much worse than burping Rain Forest Cafe lettuce wraps for hours and hours!!

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
