That is lucky! We only have big chains around here.

I love Trader Joe's mini sheet cake - so yummy!!!

I peer tutor, so I hear you. I sometimes feel like I explain the same thing 20 times before they get it. I also get the occasional student who expects that I'm going to do their work for them. I think they're surprised when not only do I not do work for them, but when I ask a question, I expect an answer, even that answer is "I don't know." I must be the most annoying tutor on the planet because I stare at them until they give me an answer. They are always surprised that they actually have to talk and answer questions. Not my regulars, but the newbies always are.

I know what you mean with this too. I often have kids ask me for "help" during a test or on their work and expect me to tell them the answer. They always get that confused look when I turn their questions around to get them to think about the answer, it is almost like they are shocked I just don't tell them.

Yes, the smaller stores (and they're still quite large, but not huge chains) will often have some surprisingly good in-house baking. Some of their breads, too, such as a hearty multigrain, are awesome!

Yep, they're very retro-cool, yet modern looking. We rode one when we were in DL in June of '10. They were new in '08.
They also have a different seating arrangement than the ones at WDW...

I know what you mean - I plan to go on Expedition Everest as many times as possible in January! That and Rock n Roller Coaster.

Hubby and I were at Animal Kingdom on Sunday morning and I wanted to go on Everest a lot of times in a row, but after two times hubby was out. He get motion sickness so two times in a row it all he can handle. I did go on once by myself but I didn't feel like I should do more than that because he was waiting. But in March I plan to ride as many times in a row as I can!

No no, in MY tummy!!

Cool, it'll be a contest to see who can ride it more times in a row!

Well then, you'll have to buy two of them and give one to me!! I have milk. I'll pour each of us a glass.

Deal! Although make mine soy!

Oh carp, I don't have any soy, and would have to buy some tomorrow I guess. Does this mean I have to wait another whole day for my cake?!

Nah, ice water will do just fine for me as well. You do have that, right?

I have water. I don't have any ice though. Somewhere in a cabinet I think I might have an ice cube tray. If I can find it, I'll put in some water and place it in the freezer. Think it takes at least an hour for ice cubes, right?

Edit: I just asked hubby where the ice cube tray is, and he told me it's in the freezer. Neither one of us has ever put any water in it, though!

Too funny!!

My top number of times in a row has been 5 and then the line started getting long and I figured I should probably do another attraction before those lines got longer too.

Please share, we have electric stoves in our neighborhood, inside. I always worked with gas, and this is so inferior inside. Right now, I would have to shovel to get to a propane grill.

Yep, prefer a gas range here, as well.
Our range, heater, and water heater are gas.

I just got done watching the live stream of he Osborne lights on the Disney parks blog. It wasn't as good as it was in person last weekend but still great to see. Did anyone else watch it?

 

[ShoalFox]

See you all tomorrow...

I have a very short tolerance for lines to purchase anything. 10 minutes is pushing it.

It wasn't waiting in a line to us. It was an event. We had sleeping bags, music, and enough other "supplies" to last all night.
