Countdown to Gorging Myself Sick on Carbs.

Circa September 2006


Currently, BooBerry is in a Snow White dress prancing around the living room as she's watching Mickey Mouse's version of "The Three Musketeers."

The reason?

We're preparing for our 9 day, 8 night stay at Walt Disney World. I seriously don't know who's more excited, BooBerry or myself. We both keep randoming yelling out "DISNEY WORLD" like we have Tourette's. (OK, Bill just walked in the back door and shouted "DISNEY WORLD" upon entry. Must be a family thing.)

This is not her first trip. We've been three other times, and each trip is different. When she was 2.5, everything was magical. Wonderful.

At 3 (last year), she was fearful of everything. The dark. Loud noises. Even the big kids in the playroom at Chick-Fil-A.

She's grown out of that stage, but it's still all about the princesses. Even though they have enough pancake makeup troweled on to even make Britney look sober and pretty, she loves them. (How funny was it to see dads having their pictures taken with a half-naked Jasmine at the Princess Storybook lunch at Akershus in Epcot? There's something slightly Ew about that.)

Me? I'm most looking forward to three things: a steak and Inniskillin martini at Le Cellier, meeting my friend, Claire, for dinner at Primetime Cafe at Disney's MGM Studios, and riding The Haunted Mansion.

Until then, however, we've got a lot to do. The dog is still struggling with kennel cough (prompting yet another visit tonight to the vet to ensure she doesn't pass it on to my mom's dog, Ginger, even though Bill and the vet both think it's just allergies), setting up the DVR to record the plethora of shows premiering next week (no, Josh, you will NOT be spending next Thursday night watching the premiere of "The Office" when we have dinner at the Whispering Canyon Cafe:



We're using Disney's free dining offer, which gives us a counter service meal, a sitdown meal and a snack FREE. Every day.

Carbs... Oh glorious carbs... Because there's nothig better than free carbs.

Hate to disappoint, but you no longer can have your very own napkin souvenier from Whispering Canyon. This really sucks, because I only have a dozen-need another dozen to make an oh so cool quilt of them, lol.

Pancake makeup comment was hilarious!

Ummm, I don't think you realize the importance of The Office season premiere.
