My birfday treasures

For those of you that don't "do" MySpace, I've reposted this here. Just basically wanted to share a few items that were wonderfully, lovingly handmade for me for ma big bday. In no particular order they are as follows:

A portrait of Bernadette by: Kimberley

A beautiful handbag by: Crystal

I just had to show them off. I'm sorry about the aweful photographs. Thank you guys so, so much!!!!! You make getting old pretty damn great.

We went to Disney, I wrote a blog about it, wanna read it? Here it goes.

Yes, it's true. We went to Disney yesterday. I'm not a Disney freak or anything, but I do have to admit that I love the Magic Kingdom. I do. I said it. I don't care what any of you think. It is Magical damn it! Well, except the bathrooms, they are not so magical.

We make it a point to go at the most tolerable time of year when the crowds aren't so bad and the weather is not so life threateningly hot. Normally we will skip a day of school/work to go and the crowds are even less, but this year we didn't think Mallorie, being in 5th grade could afford to miss a day. It was a tad busier than we are used to, but we have no complaints. The longest we waited in line was 20 mintues I think. Not bad at all! The average wait for anything was 10 minutes. Plenty of time to just reflect upon the differences that human beings have. Lee & I enjoyed hours of silent stares & telepathically saying to each other - WHAT THE HELL IS THAT PERSON THINKING! OR, LOOK AT THAT FREAK!! Again it was silent so the kids didn't know what we were saying or thinking. Teehehe!!!

Here is some imagery of the day for ya!

Typical entrance shot.

I don't think I've ever been at Halloween time. It

was pretty cool.

Minnie's house.

She has her own studio, just like you Kim!!

In a cage, just the way I like 'em.

Getting ready to ram me & Gilli. Lee was in charge of the pedal....

It's a small world. It really is a small world! We ran into my brother's girlfriend Kathy & her kids. How crazy is that? How do you run into someone you know at Disney for cryin out loud??? Weird.

The tiki guys.

I love that they do this now. Love it!

Gillian was tall enough to ride on Space Mountain this year!! It was so exciting! She loved it. I was freaking out the whole time with her sitting in her own seat. But she loved it. She was petrified in the Haunted Mansion even though she's been in it more than 3 times now. Poor thing. Mallorie & I ran to get back onto Splash Mountain one more time before closing and got SOAKED!

It was a great day. Comment at will or not, whatever.

Love, Us.
