So happy you'll be checking in and can't wait for the DLP TR!

I've always dreamt about backpacking Europe. I'm so happy I will finally have a chance to do it. Unfortunately, everyone in my immediate circle has told me they think it's a bad idea. My sister Rachel said this (mother of the newly born), and so has my best friend Pat, and now my mom said this just the other day. My mom told me to "Dream on" when I showed her the prices to Paris from Tel Aviv, followed by "How are you going to pay for it? You're going to need money to live!" I told her I had it covered and not to worry. She wasn't buying. That was before I realized I could fly back home to Florida directly from London for only $300. As it is now, she has agreed to pay for my return flight from Tel Aviv. Airfare from Tel Aviv to Miami or NYC is $1,600. So, by flying back from London, I will save her $1,300! I haven't told her that yet...

best excuse ever! "I totally went to do my hair.. when suddenly a snowcone parlor appeared infront of me and tackled my wallet" XD

You can joke but that's exactly what happened.

You guys should meet. I'm sure you would connect!

I bet we would.

Heh, heh . . . I actually like tofu. One of the reasons is that it takes on the flavor of whatever is put with it. For example, you can have a very tasty tofu cheesecake, or you can have a flavorful teriyaki tofu & vegetables stir fry, and so on. It's actually bland just by itself. Oh, fried tofu isn't bad either. But I completely understand that tofu is not for everyone!

If it was that bad, it very well could have been stinky tofu (which I've never had before, so I don't know whether I like it or not). "Regular" tofu is usually completely tasteless, until it takes on the flavor(s) of what it is cooked with/in. I love the different textures, too.

I'm not sure what kind of tofu it was. It looked like tan colored jello and had the texture of jello but it sure didn't taste like jello. Maybe it was just that particular kind of tofu that is nasty but after that experience I'm scared to try it again.

I forgot to mention with doing the countdown there are no "Disney" dads because I'm using them for my avatars.

And guess who broke a molar yesterday.

Thanks, I'm just around 26,000 short of you.

Thanks. The filling fell out last month and I had to wait for my insurance to okay the work. The tooth was drilled so thin that it caved in. I was eating DiGiorno pizza when I heard "crunch". Thank goodness I immediately spit everything out.

I hope everything works out. I don't know what's worse, having to go to the dentist or dealing with the insurance company.

I'm considering going to the D23 Expo in August and taking my first trip to Disneyland, but first I need to see if I can work everything out with my schedule. I was thinking the other day I would really like to go and then I thought "you know what, I should just do it." Considering my lifelong obsession with Walt Disney finally going to Disneyland would be almost like a pilgrimage for me. I would have to go by myself but I can handle that. What do you guys think? Should I just do it?

I've always wanted to visit Stonehenge . I can't believe how people moved those stones into place.

This is funny, and I just had deja vu regarding a somewhat similar situation. This goes back years, and I'll never forget the (light-hearted) argument my parents had over my mother's glee at shopping a sale. Mom: "Everything was marked down and I saved all this money!" Dad: "But you spent money, so how did you save money if you spent money? That's just not logical." And so on . . . an endless circular argument between the two of them, about each one's specific definition of "saving" money! P.S.: I take after my mom!!!

We must be related! Got to carry on tradition.

Ha! Well if you want to include him, you'll just have to go buy a king-sized bed to fit all of you on it together!

We did buy a king, after we added a second doggie. Now, that we don't have any pets. I still sleep in a curled position, So does hubby, and we both stay on the edges.

Speaking of photos, etc., I'll know on Saturday if any of mine came out from last week's trip to WDW. The photo place closes at 6 p.m. on weekdays, and my bus never gets here until 6:15 p.m. at the earliest. So stay tuned, peeps--maybe some funky pix might be coming your way over the weekend!

I can't wait. I love pictures!
