Thanks! I was given a $200 from the airline yesterday. Now I'm trying to decide if I should use it for California for DL or Orlando. Ah, decisions decisions....

Nice, I vote for all three!

Ha! I had a DD too that wasn't into the Princess thing either. She loved most of the Disney Movies but never leaned toward the Princess movies, never had a princess birthday party theme and the only dress up stuff she had Princess is stuff that an older cousin unloaded on her. She leaned more towards the Lady and Tramp, Toy Story type of Disney films. I'm the same way. The Disney Princess movies to me all follow the same overall theme, hardboiled much like the Harlequin Romance novels my Mom use to read when I was small. Predictable. Though I genuinely bond with the side characters
like Olaf and who can't love him?

I was the opposite. I loved the Disney princess films as a kid. I had the princess bedroom, princess costumes, the dolls...I still have the artwork and the dolls are all on display. I think that's why the newer films, namely Frozen and Tangled, appealed to me so much (although I watch Tangled mostly for Flinn Rider ). The only princess I really don't like is Snow White. I thought she was ugly when I was a kid, and as an adult, her character bothers me. Cinderella and Aurora bother me too, but Cinderella at least tried to change her situation, and Aurora has so little screentime that it's not her fault, and I watch Sleeping Beauty mostly for Merriweather anyway.

Funny thing about Olaf: my dad has never seen Frozen but likes Olaf. He's even picked out Olaf artwork he wants to get when we go back to WDW. He thinks Olaf is funny.

Good late morning. I will be taking a long nap today, hubby was up most of the night upchucking. The rest of the stone keeps moving, but not out so far. I'm having trouble getting a beer down him. He is tired of this, I don't blame him. I waited three weeks once to get surgery, that seems like a life time. I did go out and shovel the driveway. This Saturday we are going to get 6 to 10 more inches of snow. We were going to meet the kids for a late lunch on Sunday. It's kind of up in the air at the moment.

Well, the professor I met with yesterday about the group member does listen to me in some respects. We were supposed to have a presentation Monday. I told him it was really pushing it with it being Easter. He pushed the presentation back a week. Well, at least that's one less thing to worry about for now.

So glad for you.

Yup, the mountains can be beautiful in the summer. Thanks, @MOXOMUMD.

Most trip reports I read about Disney Sea say how bad the crowds can be and lines are terrible!!! It always looks like one of the best of all the Disney parks here and overseas but seems not worth it if you spend most of the day waiting in line. i still want to go some year and see it for ourselves.

Welcome to Chit Chat.

At least spring break started today for us.

Our "spring" is breaking us all right.

 

[betty rose]

It does not happen no matter how much i try to be good or how much walking we do. Never fails the scale tells me I have added pounds after every vacation to WDW.

Five pounds for me too. It's like being a yo yo, up and down. Last time I just went up, and I'm not coming down.

 

[betty rose]

You just keep doing what you're doing. And, just like the others here on this thread, we all miss you. Always happy to see your posts. You lift our spirits, too, you know.

Ditto.

 

[betty rose]

Well, we do miss you. But @Mr Ferret 88 is a little off...

Just tell it, he is a lot off.

 

[betty rose]

Are most peoples spring break next week or is anybody on break now about to wrap up and go back this coming Monday?

My grandson's were off this week, and go back next week.

Woof.
That was a nice 14-hr. Day.
One of the partners asked if I could stay late and help him with a design that he has an 8a deadline on tomorrow morning. Made for one looooong day at the office.
But, as a result, he also told me to take tomorrow off, so tomorrow is.....Zero-day Friday...!!!!!

Have the best day ever! You deserve it.

 

[betty rose]

Hahaaa...!
This one gave me a good chuckle too...!

Everyone and anyone can throw me ALL the parties they want for any reason whatsoever. No problem. I just like parties, and don't mind who it's about...! Life is short. Actually, that's an understatement, it's gone like a shot, but, make it a good shot ...!

Yup, I've got my margarita all ready.

Nice picture, and I miss the old stations. Back then, the man would come out and check the oil in my parents' car, wash the windshield, and put in gas. That kind of service was STANDARD. Can't stand the way gas stations are now.

Oh, by the way, gas went from 1.79 to 1.89 in the past week (I keep an eye on one station in particular). What's up with that? I'm sure your prices are still ridiculously low, as usual.

I remember those days too. It was so nice back then. Why have almost all gone to self serve? I know, it's all about the money. I hate the new normal.

Prayers and pixie dust for both you and your dh. You've both had enough of snow and stones so they've both got to go NOW!
