Pictures

Yeah! I got my pictures back from Disney. You can check them out at muir.myjalbum.net Here is one of my favorites. Me, my husband, and nephew. This was the day we splurged and spent $15 on a cab ride rather than wait forever in the line for the bus. The line hadn't moved in the 15 minutes we'd been waiting, and there were at least 2 busloads of people ahead of us! It was the only time we had a bus issue the whole trip.

A cute song

We've been talking about the apostles in Primary. Then my mom sent me this catchy tune.

My Disney Vacation

The short version: Lots of fun, laughter, pictures, and fun. My nephew was pretty good, and we were relaxed.



The long version:



Our vacation consisted of me, my husband and my nephew, Tyten, who turned 4 while we were there. We opted to try the Disney Dining Plan because we wanted to take Tyten to a few character dinners. I am definately a fan now. We had plenty of food, fun treats, and it was nice to be able to meet characters while sitting down, instead of waiting in long lines. Plus, each character came to our table so Tyten got one on one time. And the food was pretty decent!

Highlights included: Tyten riding Dumbo with Donald Duck. Playing in the rain and watching most everyone else hide under the canopies. "Thumper" the rabbit saying Good Night every night just outside our hotel room door. Taking tons and tons of pictures. Riding in the front of the monorail. Seeing Tyten excited to meet any character. Getting to meet my favorite: Stitch. Getting a score of over 100,000 on Buzz Lightyear.

I love vacations. It's always so hard to come home.

Bunco Bunco BUNCO

Hey, I said bunco, stop rolling the dice!

Bunco. What an odd name. I wonder where it comes from, but I'm too lazy to Google it right now... It was probably made up by some bored women who wanted an excuse to leave their house and hang out for a few hours for minimal money (almost less than a tank of gas nowadays!)

However, I thoroughly enjoy playing. It's a laugh and a half, you never know how you are truly doing until the end (unless you hid the travelling dice!) and there are always great treats. I won a tape measure today!!! I am so excited. Seriously I am. I did not tell Nick, and I refuse to. I don't want it to get lost in his tool box.

Speaking of gas....anyone seen that forward about how much it would cost if your car ran on X? X being vanilla extract, oil, and other random things. Well, I remember milk being on there. I'd like to point out that I bought milk for cheaper than gas today. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, I would be better off if my car ran on gas.

Which brings me to an odd coincidence. We were discussing grocery bills today while waiting for everyone to arrive. I was slightly surprised at how much groceries cost everyone! I was sad to see my bill rise from about $175 to about $220 a month all by moving east. Granted, I have not been as researchy (yes, that's a real word) in my grocery ads, and have been able to use some of my food storage (store what you will eat!). So, I think I will start that game again. I'll have to check out the Sunday paper and see which one has the best coupons. I'm going to make it a goal to get my groceries back down. And no cheating by eating out!

The coincidence part is that "Unwrapped" on the Food Network is all about food and especially groceries. It features one of those ladies who has managed to make her coupon clipping come close to paying her to shop. I don't think I can quite meet that level.

Man, this is a really random train of thought. I'll have to save my other two randomness thoughts for another day. (Music and Houses if you were wondering).

My Scrapbook Page

Here it is: The page inspired by Jen:

Notice the strip of three photos on a piece of paper.
Notice the too big title down the side.
Notice the finger measure from the side (2 fingers, instead of 3).
Also, although not completed at 3 am, it was finished the day after being up until 3 am at about 6pm.

I like it though. And I like "Sara Evans" as well!
