Speaking of Disney World...
So, here's the reason I've been so lagging in blogging in the last few weeks. About a month ago, our pastor at Valleydale Church (an sbc fellowship) and his family asked The Lovely Steph Leann and I for some pointers on Disney World. Pastor Calvin and his wife, daughter Hillary and her hubby and 2 year old girl and daughter Alissa and hubby Joey and their two boys are all headed that way, and its a combination of "never been" and "haven't been in a few years" and "haven't been in a long time"...
Well, after a three hour lunch meeting, we were just getting going. Alissa had written about five pages of jumbled notes and such, and I'm not sure she understood everything we were saying (she had Mickey's PhilharMagic spelled Mickey's Filler Magic... I laughed heartily) so at the end, when we were running out of time, I said, "Let me write your notes."
And over the course of a month, I wrote some notes. And more notes. And more notes. And I added sections. And then chapters. And then a table of contents. And at the end, it was a 53 page not-even comprehensive guide to Disney World from our perspective.
The Lovely Steph Leann took it to edit, and after three days of assembly, it was bound in a folder, with the great title "DISNEY ON A DOLLAR"... that was the name she created for the Disney Travel Agency that we had discussed...
Personally, I think its a great guide. And The Lovely Steph Leann says simply, "We aren't giving this out to anyone. If they want it, they have to hang out with us. Maybe treat us to dinner!". So there ya go.
But that's a completed project, so I'm back! Rock on.
Speaking of syrup on the fingers...
I hate having my hands sticky. Like, really sticky. Or even partly sticky. When I'm standing at the espresso bar, and I reach over and pump four shots of vanilla, it sometimes drips on the back of my hand. Or I have mocha on my fingers. Or moving the frappuccino pumps around, it drips on my palm. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I consider that to be one of the things I'd probably hate most about being on Survivor--my hands getting sticky and not being able to wash it off.
Don't get me wrong.. I don't mind "dirty". I can put my hands in mud and dirt, I've potted many plants and cleaned many drains and scrubbed many toilets and so on, so I have no opposition to getting my hands dirty. As long as they aren't sticky.
Speaking of making messes...
I would love to tell you the following is a fake, but its not. I would love to tell you that the following is needless and silly, and maybe it is... but I can see the use for it.
Its called The Slobstopper, and its a real commercial, and sure to be found at Target, Kohls and Wal-Mart in that crazy "As Seen On TV" aisle and/or end-cap soon enough. What is the Slobstopper? Its a bib for adults.
Sometimes for a mid-afternoon, or an after work snack, I'll drop by Daylight Donuts and grab a donut and a small bottle of whole milk, and what I've learned the hard way is when you open the whole milk, it spills out the top. Its done this twice, in my car as I was driving. The first time, I had a nearby cloth towel and was able to wipe most of the mess away. Of course, it was good that I had that cloth because I was also munching on a coconut cream filled turnover, and that cream splurted out onto my shirt, my shorts and on the fairly new seats of Red Robin.
If I have a complaint about my Kia Soul, and I have very, very few, one would be that the seats get dirty really easily. Just add coconut cream. And whole milk.
The second time, I was less prepared, and though I had no coconut cream filled turnover, the milk spilled even worse, and I only had a Starbucks apron within reach. I guess there is no use crying over it.
But had I Slobstopper? My problems would melt away... as would the milk and coconut cream.
Speaking of being tired...
You know you are tired when you wake up at butt-thirty in the morning and are already looking forward to laying down in the afternoon for a little rest spell.
Speaking of doing puzzles...
I'm not much of a "fighting style" video game guy, like "Red Dead Redemption" and "Halo" and all that rot. Not that I don't really understand them, its just too many buttons on most controllers. My fingers aren't that dexterious.
However, I do like puzzles and puzzle games on video. And in a book. Mazes rule. I love mazes. Crosswords are fun too.
Word searches are fun, but only if the list is fun. Like, when I pick up a word search puzzle, I'll flip past "Architectural Designs" or "French Military Victories", but if I see something cool like "Russell Crowe Movies", I'm like "Where you at 'Gladiator'?!".
By the way, the "French Military Victories puzzle has like, one or two things to find.
Speaking of holding your breath...
When I'm watching a film and a character has to swim underwater, I always hold my breath as long as they do to see if I would make it. I usually die.
Speaking of good food...
Had dinner the other night at a joint called Rags downtown, in the Lakeview District. Let's be honest, I only know its the Lakeview District because when we pulled up, I was told that it was the Lakeview District by our double dates for the night, Melanie and Chris Z. It was Chris' birthday, so he was in fine spirits, Melanie looked great as always, The Lovely Steph Leann is always nice to have on the arm, so it was a great night.
The food was reasonably priced, and the atmostphere was fun. Its a former hair salon turned into a bar/cafe, which contains a bar and five tables. We had to wait for a table for a few minutes, but we were able to sit down and munch on Italian type food and appetizers.
After we all shared a big plate of fried green beans, I ate shrimp pesto pasta and it was really great. Dinner with friends is always great.
Speaking of The Deucecast...
