M-I-C see ya real soon K-E-Y why? because ..........

We're going to DISNEY WORLD!!!! We'll be MIA for a while. We're heading South to see the Mouse! Cole has been counting down the days for longer than I can remember. He was so excited when he woke up every day this week - just knowing we're closer and closer to the BIG DAY. A little while ago he actually looked out the front window to see if the plane was here yet. I hated to bust his bubble but I told him that we have to drive TO the airport and that the plane wasn't coming to our house!! :) He said 'OH, I see. Let me check the plane schedule?' He's such a nut. He goes over to the wall where the plane schedule most be posted ?? and said 'Oh, we leave in two seconds.' He does this all the time - checks the pizza delivery schedule the same way and we've only had pizza delivered her twice since we moved in. He's crazy!!!

And he'll only be crazier this next week I'm sure. We probably won't have internet at the resort (we have to pay for that and probably won't until we have a day where we aren't in the parks) so I'll be out of touch for a while.

Hold down the blogger world for me while I'm gone! And I'll tell Mickey you said HEY!!

Which TV mom am I?

Which TV Mom Are You?

My Result: Lorelai Gilmore

You are Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls. A traditional mama you aren't, but that doesn't mean you don't love your kids or aren't great in this role. You like to put a modern twist on things — no need to become your mother, after all — although sometimes you might wonder if that wouldn't be all bad.


You probably believe in being friends with your child, and you try your best to be open and honest about your choices, good or bad, past or present. You like being known as the cool mom in the neighborhood that your kids' friends can come to if they need an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes your children may wish they had a mom that acted like everyone else's — or at least one who didn't raid their closets and acted her age. But most of the time, they think you're pretty cool. And that's fine by you, because the feeling is mutual.

What are you?

Dinner and Indy

So, we had our fancy dinner Friday night and it was ............ different!! I've never actually eaten anywhere this fancy!! It was really nice. We had 12 in our party and were at this 'special' table that was really cool but a little cramped!!

We all had appetizers, drinks, entree's and dessert. Jason had boiled shrimp for his appetizer - but yuck - they're cold!! And in a place this nice, shouldn't the shrimp be peeled for you? He didn't mind. He also ordered a fish - a whole fish for dinner. The biggest platter I've ever seen came to our end of the table and this giant fish was there - looking at the girl across from me. He followed that up with a molten lava thing that was pretty good but smaller than we thought. We were expecting this mountain of chocolate and some sparks as the lava exploded! lol

I ordered Fried Green Tomatoes with shrimp as my appetizer and it was wonderful. I hate to say they were better than LuLu's - but they were really good!! I had Gulf Coast crab cakes for dinner and they were yummy but by this time I was pretty full. For my dessert, I tried to drink a chocolate martini. My friend Carol loves them and I just knew it would be great and it wasn't at all. I could barely test the chocolate and shouldn't that be an important flavor??

Over all - the dinner was great. I was pretty stuffed when we left. We headed to the movies afterward for Indian Jones! I don't want to ruin anything for you but it wasn't what I expected. It wasn't bad, but it didn't have the ending I had hoped for. I think you will either love it or be sorely disappointed in Steven Spielberg. I was disappointed!!

We came home (after having shared a giant bag of Reece's Pieces and a big Mr. Pibb), took our Tylenol PM and went to bed. Well, three hours later, we were still laying there - AWAKE. The last time I looked at the clock it was around 4 in the morning. Jason was awake as long as me. That sugar and caffeine really messed us up. We were tired all morning.

Last night was super fun. We had some friends over for dinner and games. We played Cranium Pop - it was so much fun! I think we each one a game - although they were clearly better at it than us. Next time, we'll do much better - I'm sure!! We just played, talked about Cole (which is always a long story but one we love to tell - so sorry Alicia if we talked way too long!!), and had some delicious brownies and homemade mac and cheese. A fun time was had by all.

Today, Jason is still sleeping!! Hopefully we're heading to Alabama Adventure today!! Right now I'm eating some breakfast and watching one of my all time fav movies - Clueless!!! I love it!!

Have a wonderfully Clueless day!!

Fancy Schmancy Dinner tonight

We are going out tonight to this fancy place - Oceans - on Southside. Jason's branch has made some giant goal and they get to go out with the boss, the boss's boss and then the boss's boss's boss!! WOW - lots of bossing going around huh? So we get to get all dressed up and go out to eat. It's a seafood place (what gave that away) and there is barely anything on the menu I'll eat - I love shrimp and that's about it. Their only shrimp is boiled and you peel it yourself - and I don't peel my own shrimp-EVER. They have some crab cakes on the online menu that I'll probably try and I'm thinking about dessert too - just because it's such a fancy place - it should be good right? I hope!!

After that we're going to the movie - INDIANA JONES !!! I'm excited. I've seen all the others, but don't really remember much - but hey, it's Harrison Ford so where can you go wrong? We're actually double dating - we haven't really done that in about 10 years! lol We're going with the guy Jason works with and his girlfriend. They are riding with us to dinner in the new car - woo hoo - and then to the movies. I'm looking forward to a night out - it should be fun (except for all those bosses being there - not sure how much fun that is?)

Anyway - i'll try to get a picture of us all snazzy before we go - but we won't match - Jason doesn't do 'matching' - he's such a guy sometimes.

See ya
