Surprises, Surprises, Surprises.. UGH!

Don't you hate it when you have a surprise, and someone ruins it??

If you've been told.. "this a surprise".. Do you then (within a half an hour) TELL the surprizees????????????

The answer ::said as a chorus::  NO!!!

Well, mine is not COMPLETELY ruined, but someone kinda spilled my beans.. 

AARRGGHH!!

::deep breath::

::forgiving spirit, trying to paddle its way to the top of my mind::

::one more deep breath::

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Now, I can't dangle it in front of the girlies and make them all giddy and excited..

Now, I'm sad because I know its in their little heads, instead of a blind-sided surprise..

Now, I'm a bit ANGRY!!

::deep.. cleansing.. breath::

How am I handling this??

Well, now Chelsea and I are playing dumb and quickly changing the subject if they bring it up.. 

Not quite as fun..

But we'll see if it works..

 

And sorry to those of you who are curious..

This is under SERIOUS lock-down now..

You'll have to wait a little longer..

Just like my girlies..

Surprises.. Surprising.. Surprizees..

I LOVE surprises.. 

Especially if I'm the one surprising someone..

Especially if that someone is Davy or my girlies..

I am currently cooking up a surprise that I'm SO excited about!!! [heehee]

..it has me all giddy..

Sorry, I'm not telling WHAT this certain surprise is yet..

Soon.. but not yet..

[I'm so excited!!]

Its Worth a New Post..

Somehow, when I was doing my WDW post, this picture didn't make it, which is a shame, because its probably my favorite shot from our trip.. (thanks, Chels, for bringing it to my attention..)

*and as a footnote, the athletes I mentioned in my WDW post are as follows:

Curt Schilling - most recently a pitcher for the Red Sox

Tony Fernandez - tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs

Jeff Francour - right fielder for the Atlanta Braves (and a hottie, in Chelsea's eyes)

Misty May Treanor - beach volleyball gold medalist

**one more thing!! visit Chelsea's blog.. the "poet Missionary" has struck again!!**

The Google Game..

I got this funny idea from Bonnie, and couldn't resist trying it, especially since my name isn't super common, and isn't the most common spelling (thank you mommy, for not spelling it Marcee, like you once told me you considered).. Chels did it on her blog, too, and I have to say, we had fun doing it together, and laughed pretty hard a few times..

So here's how you do it:

Go to Google. Type in your name + the rest of the words in the category. For example, if your name was Sally, you'd type in "Sally looks like" and then see what Google finds for you. Have fun!

Marci looks like:

• a million dollars (well, thanks!)
• Sharon Stone (eww.. almost as bad as the time a guy stopped me and told me I looked like Margot Kidder, not so much a compliment)
• she's rather harmless (really, I am)

Marci likes:

• to watch Sunrise Earth on Discovery HD (I guess I'll have to find this show and see if that's true!)
• golf, travel and spend time with family (especially the golf part.. ha)
• the "Lobster Claw" (like you didn't already know that..)

Marci says:

• no to Starr (as should you?)
• oops, sorry! (when necessary, which is probably lots!)
• she's never understood why anyone would want to have sex on an airplane (this IS true, but I don't remember saying so..)

Marci wants:

• some fruit things (ahh.. fruit things.. maybe I want some right now!)
• to win the Salsa dance contest (its ONLY my lifelong dream..)
• to demonstrate the Law of the Pendulum (my OTHER lifelong dream..)

Marci hates:

• MySpace (which is why I've never even looked at it..)
• the neighbor's dog (news to me.. I'm too worried about my own to hate anyone else's..)
• people that talk s**t (wow, I use such strong language! [ironically, this is how it was written].. but I do hate it..)

Marci can:

• do all single jumps through a Lutz, and can do sit-spins and camel-spins (I'm a woman of MANY hidden talents..)
• look up the diameter of the Moon (its not as easy as it sounds, apparently..)
• greatly benefit from having access to a second RS-422 channel (couldn't we all, but mostly me..)

Marci goes:

• nuts at the end of a zip line (but not until the end..)
• fishing for sea cucumbers (which is ironic, because I don't even like land cucumbers..)
• down for $20 (??.. just give me $20..)

Marci is:

• a lecturer (I try not be..)
• one of the best selling non-fiction authors of all time (anyone looking for some of the best non-fiction? I'm your girl..)
• your guide (where are we going?)

Marci loves:

• Anime videos (really, I do? I really didn't want to love Anime videos..)
• Thai (I do like Thai Chicken Pizza at California Pizza Kitchen..)
• you (yes, I really do!)

Marci the:

• teacher/friend (I'm here for you)
• dog whisperer (this is painfully obvious, have you seen my amazing dog?)
• gay snake (well.. that just makes me sad..)

Davy & Mk head to Disney World!!

Sorry about the sheer number of pictures.. [but there are many I left out!]

I'll try to keep captions to a minimum!

The backside of Wilderness Lodge [don't ask what I'm doing]

Incredible!

[I accidentally erased this down farther, but wanted it included, but didn't wanna start over]

This towel-sculpture greeted us on our bed..

A theme I chose for photographs this trip was:

Davy Eating

Here he is eating his breakfast at Roaring Forks our first morning at Wilderness Lodge.. 

(I'm sure you'll be sad to learn I forgot to take his picture the other 2 mornings.. sorry)

Davy in front of Expedition Everest.. Our first time!

[that mountain back there? its the ride!]

Davy's caption for this was:

"I found something larger than my head"

General Tso's Chicken at Nine Dragons in the China Pavillion

Davy went crazy taking pictures at our hotel.. Don't ask what I'm doing..

Dinner back at Roaring Forks.. Yogurt!! 

(apparently still full from our late lunch)

The AMAZING fireplace in the lobby of Wilderness Lodge..

[modeled after Yellowstone Lodge.. just MUCH bigger]

The view off our deck..

Great, right?

Magic Kingdom is just off to the left..

 [you can't see it, but its there]

At Hollywood Studios, it was ESPN: The Weekend

This is Curt Schilling..

Tony Gonzalez

(we also saw Misty-May Treanor on Sunday, but I was freezing, 

and didn't want to stop to take a picture, and, 

by the way, Davy is still down there, 

and sat one away from Jeff Francour on Toy Story Mania)

When I saw Rhino, I just HAD to get a picture with him..

Love that hamster..

Cobb Salad at the Brown Derby..

Yum!

Self explanatory:)

Me, waving from our deck!!

[that tiny person in that top window..]

Out in front of the Wilderness Lodge..

As Davy says, doing what comes naturally..

Buffalo Topiaries out front,

or as Davy called them - Mufasa & Simba

Davy was very excited to take decent fireworks pictures..

Wishes.. (my favorite, I cry every time)

Lunch at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater..

[its very dark in here, so picture quality is not great]

After lunch, right before leaving the park to head home..

Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
