Okay, so here we are. And obviously, Rhett does indeed give a dang b/c we're going to the POLY for vacation!! (More on that later)
Welcome to my Epic, Gone With The Money, MAY 2010 PRE trip report!!
I say "Epic" b/c the mere definition of Epic is the following--"of unusually great size or extent".
And since I'm Southern by birth and a writer not by trade but for the heck of it--- this shall indeed be of unusally great extent. I mean come on- I have more than three months to fill here before we leave!
Hello to old friends (not saying you're old in age- just that um, we're old friends--- I know you're all 29!
) and to um, well, alllll those people I don't know yet. Friends. How. I come in Peace. And all that snazzy junk.
First off A special shout out to the peeps who have made me do this PTR- mainly SHELLY, Drakes, RF, MNDisneyGirl, the MAYers and a few others who I cannot think of at this time. Sorry if I didn't give you props. PM me- I'll put ya right on in there.
Soooooo now that all of that hoopla is over and done with, let's begin.
The cast of thousands in this epic tale, that you need to be aware of:
~My DH -aka "Rhett" in the title, aka Mighty Good Man from Trip reports past, aka Daddy Warbucks, aka MARK. He works hard for the money, so hard for it honey--- so that I can spend it freely and without reservation. He WILL be along for the trip, b/c well, he's got the money.
~My Kids-- (who will NOT be on this trip, they don't know about it yet and I'm trying ever so hard to keep it on the QT so as not to incur their wrath)---
-MCat- 14 yrs old and already a darn good Lawyer. She plans on attending the University of Florida where she will earn her law degree and go on to prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law. I hope she doesn't begin practicing her first case on me for not taking her on this trip. YIKES.
-Drew- he's my little man, age 10- also hoping to one day make a mark on this world by attending- you guessed it The University of Florida where he will become the Worlds greatest Heart Surgeon, or Orthopaedic Surgeon. Hasn't made his mind up yet. Which is possibly a great thing since once the BABY of the family finds out we're going to the Mouse's House without her -- I MAY need a heart surgeon, or a bone doctor. Or maybe both.
-Which leads us to said "Baby"- StinkerBelle aka - just plain Belle. She's a Red head and yes, what they say is true about their tempers. We usually let her have her way so that no one gets hurt. It's better that way- trust me. She may have a meltdown when she hears about this trip.
She is 7 but thinks she's already an adult.
And with those quick introductions out of the way- I'm left with introducing myself...and the dog.
I'm Jo, I'm a SAHM and this will be my "Idon'tknowhowmanytimesI'vebeentoDisney" trip. Somewhere in the twenty-eth range, I suppose, including my first trip in 1974 that was a disaster when I was two and remember it as clear as day. You shall hear of it later, because every trip, I am trying ever so hard to have a re-do, to make up for that first time. You never forget your first time. Mine was awful and I am scarred for life.
And last but not least- our dog, Beau Gator the Bulldog- yes, named after our Beloved Gators and Beau- for General Beauregard who started the Civil War. (Told you I was Southern).
He is a big, slobbering mess of a dog but we love him and will keep him around for a while longer.
So that's us.
I'll post pics in my next post.
But for now, supper awaits for me to cook.
Hold on a second.
Where's my maid.........? Surely I am a Princess??????
WAIT........YOU MEAN I'M NOT???????? You mean I'M responsible for all of this--- stuff?
Oh however will I cope?
Until tomorrow---
