Ok - why am I so out of it? I am embarrassed to ask, but hey - I will get over it.
Who is Eye Love?
Your plans sound great! I can see lots of good times ahead!
In fact - in just a few short days you will be on your way!
Definitely take pics of Andy in the stroller at MK!!!!!!!!
Whenever I have been at MK for late EMH - I am so excited to be there at night that I have a major rush of adrenaline happening. But.......when I get on the bus, oh boy....it hits me like a mack truck!
Have tons of fun!

This is Eye Love's first appearance in one of my TRs from Dec. 2006

Andy said that the guy there on the left was making "eye love" with the girls in the audience b/c I told him that I made eye contact with him while he was up there.

... I had to have my picture made with the "eye love" guy...


We laughed about "eye love" the rest of the trip!

Since then we've laughed and had a good time bringing that joke up every trip....so he was in the Birthday TR last summer, mentioned again in the last TR a few months ago...and again now for this trip We just can't let something go easily.

[Luvsun]

It is all coming back to me now!
I knew that he was part of the Brit Invasion - I just guess I was drawing a big blank! Now that you have posted a picture and you reminded me that he was in your other trip reports, it is all coming back to me now!

[BelmontBelle]

Thanks for clarifying who Eye Love is, I remember him in your latest TR, but didn't know where it all originated. I'm glad Andy chimed in with his two cents, he always makes your TR's even more fun!

[Jillybean]

Simply fantastic, my dear! I cannot wait to read all about it!

We will have to look for eye love in april...we are going to try to catch a show whilst eating our deep fried snickers yuuuummmy...with a black and tan. Hope the snickers are still there. Cant wait to hear more about your trip! Its nice to see your DH involved on these, you can never have too many points of view of disney!

Great pre trippee Melissa, btw, go to your local Borders Books(my employer) and pick up a copy of Instamatic Karma for Andy if you hav'nt done so already great John Lennon pictures. Your friends sound so fun and you'll be run ragged by Audrey believe me I just took my three year old this past summer. Whew!!! But it was fun.

Great to see you, Andy! Glad you got your password reset. Maybe you should write it down so you won't forget it again. I'm looking forward to some great tag-team TR'ing!

[goofysdtr]

Just catching up! The plans sound great!

Great to see both of you contributing. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures, and what you think about seeing WDW through a little one's eyes!

[DELG8TOR]

Glad to see Andy got his password reset... Amazing thing technology...

The PTR is great, keep the installments coming!

[amandal]

Any chance we'll get just one more little update before ya'll head out??? Please, oh pretty please.

Welp, it's getting to be that time....
I'm sitting here at school...waiting for my kinders to come in...on the Friday before Spring Break. This is totally a "whatever" day. "Hey Mrs. Loflin, can we play games on the computer" "Sure, whatever " "Hey Mrs. Loflin, can we run around the school like chickens with our heads cut off" "Sure, whatever"...
well, I don't let it go that far... I do have major expectations for my kids.. I mean, I made one cry the other day just b/c I gave him the "look" of disappointment....

SO, I'm just trying to make this day go as fast as possible. Then after school I'll be swinging by the house to grab all the saved change and a check that needs to be cashed. Then onto the credit union to use their handy dandy (FREE) coin machine and cash the check. I've done EVERY piece of laundry in the house so Andy and I will have to resort to wearing the most worn out, oldest, raggiest, pieces of clothing until Sunday morning. Andy's gotta put another coat of paint on the other half of kitchen cabinet doors and hang those up in the morning. What does this have to do with going to Disney..I know you're asking yourself that question right now. Well his aunt and uncle that always take care of our cats are coming over again to the job for us, and I don't want then seeing everything I have stuffed in the cabinets
He also has to take the car and have it serviced in the morning. I plan on packing and double checking all our plans. I already called and confirmed all our ADRs, Andy faxed our Room Request yesterday. I do still need to finish folding my last three mousekeeping envelopes, so I'll do that this evening.
And then tomorrow...after the cabinet hanging, car serviced, packing is done, it's rest up and count the hours until we leave. But when we leave we don't really "leave" persay. We're driving down the two hours to SC to have Easter lunch with my family then meeting Kevin and Lori and Audrey around 3 (they live about 45 min. from my family) and then we'll be on our way to Brunswick.

I've been checking the weather everyday and so far it looks like only one day has a chance of a shower or two. So that's good.

So, I guess that about wraps up the Pre TR. I will probably hop on and say goodbye Saturday night as we'll pack up the computer and electronics Saturday night.

So... yeah....ummm....that's it
(that was another Eddie Izzard reference....if you watch his stand up, you'll know)

I've really wanted to pick up a copy of this!!! This is May Pang's photographs from the "Lost Weekend" right? Very cool, I've seen previews. Keep bugging Melissa, maybe she will do it

I will not be purchasing anything that involves that concubine May Pang

I have “turned off my mind, relaxed, and floated downstream.” I’m tying up work so no one will dare call me at Disney. Melissa is like a monkey in a cage on road trips, she can’t stay still and usually complains a lot…”My legs hurt, my butt hurts…etc.” To combat this I am loading Melissa’s iPod with Lost Season 1 episodes, maybe that will keep her occupied. I’m preparing some music for the ride down; some Paul Simon, British Sea Power, Counting Crows (new album comes out Tuesday btw). I’m also burning a bunch a Beatles bootlegs and listening to them in the process. I hope I can get them through customs in the UK…hahaha. Wow, that was the stupidest joke I’ve made in a long time and it felt pretty good, actually…everything feels pretty good right about now and why is that? Because I’M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!
