Disneyland!

I made it to Disneyland! In the five hours we had at the park, we managed 8 rides and a parade - not bad! The only ride I didn't get in was the Raiders of the Lost Ark ride - a reason to go back again some day.

Sandra's reception was fun - full of women, though. If they weren't all lesbians, cousin David would have been in seventh heaven! Fortunately there was no PDAs - I think I would have been very uncomfortable if there had been smooching. But it was a lovely day, a lovely reception, great food and a fab candy bar. And Aunt Bobbie was ecstatic to have her entire family together on vacation in California. She was really happy.

Next is our overnight for Shawn's birthday tomorrow, then Hermann this week-end with the in-laws and next week - our Disney Cruise and Parks vacation I've been planning and dreaming of for four years!!! Let's hope the weather holds out for us!

Getting Ready To Fly

I leave bright and early (well, early - the sun won't be out to make it bright!) Friday morning for LAX and Disneyland - oh, and Sandra's reception. I am starting to get nervous about the pat down - and the name issue on the reservation. Maybe they won't let me on the plane at all.

I got Sandra's gift mailed out Monday so she should be getting it tomorrow. They are two cutting boards off her wedding registry - she had very little on the registry as she and Teresa prefer cash for a house, a baby (?!) and a honeymoon. I'm not going to help pay for someone's vacation, I didn't get help buying my house and a baby is an issue they need to deal with as a couple and not bring others in to it. And I don't like to give adults cash. So, I picked some cheaper things off the scant registry.

Guess I'll be doing some laundry tomorrow and packing. I'll be doing a LOT of packing this month. I also need to get in touch with Andrea to see if she would come by Saturday and put out cat food for the strays. And I need to get cat food tomorrow! And I need to update my iPhone and call Delta to make sure the memo is on my reservation. Got a lot to do tomorrow. I'm already tired just thinking about it.
