I'm back. From the "Happiest Place on Earth"....or so they say. I beg to differ that comment. ESPECIALLY during Spring Break.
Got down there Sunday late afternoon, checked into the Grand Californian, and strolled around the park a bit. Did the same thing Monday - Thursday....came home Thursday night. LOTS of people. Met a terribly rude and unhappy female "cast" member at Big Thunder Mountain. Am wondering what pissed HER off so miserably.
Unfortunately, I lost my iPod in the hotel room. Am hoping, but not holding my breath, that it is recovered. Just not my year.
Didn't get the chance to meet up with JoAnn and Kohl...missed them terribly. Kept mom about as sane as I possibly could with Heather there. Had my share of favorite foods...including a nice glass of white wine at (what USED to be) the Mondavi restaurant. Ended up in a friggin' wheelchair by Tuesday night. I was very disappointed in myself...but, today my trainer and masseuse cheered me on, saying that it was quite the accomplishment that I got THAT far without one. I guess it's just easier to kick myself in the butt than it is to praise myself. Thank God for Steve my masseuse. Took good care of me...always does.
The girls just called, and are in Redlands...on their way back from Mexico. Dayna vomited the second night (in her tent...yuck)....and the dust was SSSOOO bad down there his year, that Alyssa had to have 7 nebulizer treatments, and is still struggling breathing on the way home.
Got a refrigerator on Saturday before I left. I impressed Dean. Got a new stainless steel french-door, 3-door that retailed for $2400....for......$600. (It pays to have been doing all of my remodeling through them. I've befriended a manager...) Should be delivered sometime tomorrow...although I have not yet been given a time...nor have I HAD the time to clear out the spot in the garage that it will be going in. Such a procrastinator!!
Dean and I will be traveling to Las Vegas soon. Staying at the Wynn. Should be enjoyable. Looking forward to that trip.
I have quite a few places/trips planned within the next few months...before the girls go back to school next year. Busy, busy.
Gave out lots and LOTS of pins to little kids for their lanyards during my Disneyland stay. That was the high point. For many of them, it was their first trip. I had two little boys that got lanyards...both named "Luke". They both picked Star Wars pins. Very appropriate. I was given an "Honorary Citizen" pin from a cast member. He found out that I enjoy handing out free pins to little ones who are just starting their lanyards...now it's official. Oh, if I could just set up a homestead there on the property, I'd be set. Just wait...some day, I will be one of those little old people you see working there and just loving life....
Well, that's my update for the evening. Been too many days without the laptop. Hopefully your week went well, and I am hoping that you have a FABULOUS Easter!
