Dis Day Spoilings :P

I know, I know. I lied. But it was unintentional. I meant to wake up, get ready for the day, blog, and then go off to have fun with Dad on one of our Target Tuesdays. But instead I woke up late, got ready, edited my last blog (added the pics that were on my phone since I forgot to add them yesterday morning :P), then barely had time to feed cats and finish getting ready before Dad got here. And when we got home, we ate dinner and proceeded to kill A LOT of time playing with free downloadable ringtones. :P I mean, it was midnight when I finally turned to look at my computer after Dad left, and then I stupidly decided to run a full virus scan (cuz it’d been ages since the last time..) and that killed hours of time. >.<

ANYWHO…..

Saturday was all about goofing off, Doctor Who, and other geekery. Sunday… Sunday was Disneyland day! :D Since my pass was to expire Monday (April 19th), it was to be my last visit for a while. So that and the fact that my birthday was around the corner the day was mine! :D

Issi and her mom picked me up around 1pm and off we went. The day actually started with a quick stop at a shop so Issi could “return something” (:P) while her mom and I loitered around (a.k.a. Jackie keeping me away from seeing Issi :P). We came out and Issi had a big bag! I know, after all these years (of her doing similar tricks :P), I should see these things coming. But, hey, at least I’m pleasantly surprised when I don’t. :D

Me and bag o' gifts

For the record, I am well aware that I am spoiled. I’ve been spoiled a lot over the years by family and friends alike. And I am thankful. :) We sat down and I opened my presents from Issi and some from Ah Tee eM, hehe. And the following pics were taken when I got home, though some didn’t come out well and I evidently didn’t see one hiding amongst my stuff (but I realized as I was posting this, so oh well :P):

The loot (minus the bookmark that was hiding in a map)

The evil birthday card :P

(Inside it said "Say hello to 30!" :P)

I love this. He's just so cute. :P And he's sitting on my comp. tower.

Dressed in his best for my birthday, right Issi? :P

(and so squeezable too! :D)

I actually wore this ALL day. :P

Yay for embarrassing but fun and silly hats. :P

Ha ha, Ah Tee eM! :P

And I did take a close up of the earrings, cuz they were cute Oreo/Pixie like kitties with Santa hats on. :D So, I will definitely wear those for Christmas. And the button was that an employee gave me. But the shots were all blurry. There was a cool magnetic bookmark with the quote "Better a witty fool than a foolish wit!" :P And I didn't take close ups of everything, like the Angels T-shirt for the next game, the How to write hieroglyphics book, and the glowy thingie. :P

So, thank you Issi, Ah Tee eM, Jackie, and dolphin children. :P

I'm ready to celebrate! :D

Sunday before last we went on half my favorites, so this past Sunday we went on more of my favorites (tho I was tempted to ride on Space Mountain and Tower of Terror again :P). First up, Star Tours. And I forgot to whip out my Jedi Knight Passport. :P Yep, yep, it was still in my purse from last trip. :P Next up was Indiana Jones. Yeah, I never tire of that one. :) Almost lost my ears though! Yep, had to quickly take 'em off and hold on to them. :P There was of course the occassional shop stop. Gotta love shop stops, even if we never buy anything (and usually one of us does). There's so much to look at. :D

We went to the Blue Bayou to eat (thank you, Jackie). And for those of you who don't know, on the way out of the Pirates of the Carribean ride, you can see a restaurant on the "bank" under the "night sky". It's beautiful. I found a pic online (since none of us had a camera and cell phones usually lack a decent flash :P). And OMG, the food was sooooo good. From the tasty house salad to the deliscious seasoned chicken with veges and potatoes. Compliments to the chef! It was heavenly. I was stuffed. And then cuz they saw it was my birthday, they brought over a chocolate Mickey Mousse (:P). I'm not a mousse person, but this was so good I ate half of it even though I was full. :P

Mmmmm...

And since we were stuffeded.. A nice peaceful ride on the Disneyland Railroad was perfect. :)

At California Adventure we headed over to Soarin' over California, when someone stopped us. She was leaving and handed over her fast passes. Same wait as if we'd gone in line, but now we had time to go do something else! So we went on California Screamin'! This time I held my hat before the ride started. :P

Ah, the wind in our faces. :P

And since we still had some time... Toys Story Midway Mania was next. A giant Mr. PotatoHead gives a lil comedy show while we wait in line, so we took a pic in front off to the side. We were standing still for a while and then soon as we wanted to take a pic, the line started moving. :P

Our scores after the Midway Mania games. She did better than me point-wise. But look! I did better in accuracy! :D That's pretty awesome. :P Just gotta focus my accuracy on the higher point targets next time.

Anyway... As we headed back to Soarin', people were all lined up and ready to watch the second to last Electrical Parade on the west coast (again). They added a second showing for the night, but then it gets packed up and moves to Disney World. :P We hit the road.... in Golden State (land) and went to our ride. :D En route, Jackie got us glowy thingies. Battery operated with a couple settings and an off switch, so they'll last for another trip! :D

So that was Dis Day. :D

One last pic from Sunday night...

Pixie is so weird... :P
