I should have listened and turned away. She shouldn't have stopped. This little piggie had roast beef and this little piggie had none..... Girl's got talent....and an incredible camera. I agree on all points....except, I kinda dig the song. Reminds me of a funny scene from Office Space. There's more, but someone just told me I'm up passed my bedtime. Gotta go sunggle. Nighty-Nite.

I have been a bad bad blogger this last week. I actually blogged while in Disneyworld and then I haven’t since. Bad me. (Thanks, M!) I had a ton of cleaning last week to catch up on, two suit cases full of dirty laundry and then a first week of school to get through. I cannot tell you how much paperwork is involved at that school district. I’m not sure I even filled out this much paperwork

last full day of a really packed week. Last night after I bogged that we had been so far lucky to escape an asthma attack....she started wheezing and coughing. It wasn't too bad and it was after back to back rides that she screamed and screamed on.Today is EPCOT and I read a warning of.someone that said it really stands for Everyone Person Comes Out Tired. Is it bad if we start out that way?I'm

It's a blizzard out here

2010-08-19T17:15:00.001-05:00

Well, ok maybe its hot as hades here, but we are going to Blizzard Beach today so maybe the heat won't be quite so horrible. It's Thursday, we have three days left. I'm sorry to sound sappy, but oh my how I miss my husband extremely bad. I no longer care that he snores and talks in his sleep. I also crave to hear his loud laugh. But most of all I long for a long, warm hug from him. Sigh....ok,

It's an Animal Kingdom kind of day

2010-08-19T08:35:00.001-05:00

Shoot, I meant to wear my zebra print top today. Ugh. Animal Kingdom says they have more coaster and scarier coasters than the other parks. I'll let you know if we find that claim to be true. Well, two of us can attest, while two other fraidy cats can't. As part of our resort there are busses that run all day to all the parks. You can be at any of the parks within 20 minutes...well, so far. We

It's Tuesday and its hot here. I'm a huge fan of the shade. There's a billion people here and there's not a cloud in the sky. Yesterday I think we spent the whole day near someone with a birthday. If it's your birthday, then the workers sing happy birthday to you. Yep, we literally heard that sung every five minutes. I'm good to not hear that sung again for awhile. Today is Hollywood studios

(And of course - it was facebook an facebook alone that caused the demise of each of those relationships, right?) Do you know what the worst part of packing up and moving is? The unpacking....specifically the little things. I will admit we are

If you aren’t a fan of mushy, lovey-dovey stuff, then skip this post. • My poor sweet husband is having a bad day today. • First of all, this morning on our favorite radio morning show, one of the hosts goes on and on about Disney that he just got back from. I felt sad and a little guilty that I’m going on a girl’s trip without him. We’ve only been married for 45 days and in 5 days we’ll be gone

They wouldn’t fire me for being sassy electronically would they? · The kittens came home this weekend. Yay! I got my sweet hugs last night. Finally. Then, within two hours there were cat-fighting and driving me
