without comments

In the morning time; we went to Mums favorite store; Burlington Coat Factory – which Elizabeth and Jonathan hit Islands of Adventure. We then came home for a rest; and hit Longhorn for dinner (oh and at lunch time we went to Downtown disney were we have some lovely scollops).

During the evening we went to Magic Kingdom; and the crowds were super light – Im so impressed! The weather has been great too. We went to MANY rides; including – Its a small world; Peter Pan; Sky Ride; Buzz Lightyear; Dumbo; Carousel; and Tea Cups. We als Spectomagic o saw the Parade and the Fireworks. It was a jam packed evening; and we enjoyed every bit of it.

We spent a short time at Disney; we lined up for Toy Story 3-D ride; it said it was an hour wait, but it actually only took 30 minutes once we were in; which was good! They loved it! We then went on the Great Movie Ride; there was some scary parts – but they didn’t seem to care – especially Lola who loved watching it.. finally we sneaked into the Playhouse Disney show; which is always a bone crunching experience.

In the afternoon we played and rested then Malcom; Pauline; Jean and Derek visited us. They are vacationing at the same time as us; and we had a wonderful time.

FL SEP 09: Day Two, Epcot {updated}

without comments

Its been a weird day weather wise; comfortable but wet (and down pours) or unbearably hot and you want to die right there is the awful horrible heat. We rode the monorail, went to see space ship earth (where we took the attached pic) – went to lunch, walked around the country pavilions and hit the mexican boat ride, and had an Italian Cannoli. Finally we hit Finding Nemo ride and crawled in pain back home

Tomorrow we are gonna hit Magic Kingdom earlier to see if we can ‘beat the heat’; prolly not :)

FL SEP 09: Day One, Animal Kingdom {updated}

without comments

Today has been hot; super hot – and Animal Kingdom is always hot; due to its billions of trees and stinky animals. Animal Kingdom is our least favorite – but the kids don’t seem to care.

We went to see Finding Nemo; a Rhino ride thing; ball throwing and hammer throwing – lunch; Safari Ride – we were there 5.5 hours. It was the least busy I have ever seen it actually; Animal Kingdom is usually pretty busy.

We came home and jumped into the pool; then to split up – one set to the mall; one set to Target :)

We are no longer Woot virgins

without comments

Flush_Lightr4iStandardFrom the confines of our new Florida home for 9 days; we bought our first Woot items. And they are crackers!

DRIVE HOME SAFELY EVERYBODY

You’re at the end of another woot off. Don’t forget to flush.

Now some of you may be wondering why you’d need a Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light. Some of us were wondering the same thing. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and made a nice little list of the ways the Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light can change your life.

Way Number One: The Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light helps you find the toilet handle.

We’ve all done the sleepy stagger into the bathroom to take care of kidney business. But it’s just rude to leave without flushing. The Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light will serve as a little reminder that your duty is not done until you push down the handle. Plus it’s so easy to install. Assuming you’re comfortable following the easy instructions about how to open your toilet and replace a handle. It’s not really very hard.

Way Number Two: The Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light Makes Your Toilet A Collectable.

Imagine the joy on your Trekker friend’s face when he comes back from meeting “Flushutus Of Borg”. Or your Caprican buddy’s thrill to find you’ve got a very early Cylon prototype in your bathroom. Soon you’ll be a tourist stop for people who just have to own or see everything connected to their favorite television show. Our advice: add LCARS toilet paper and sell pizza rolls. That’s how they do it in Vegas.

Way Number Three: The Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light can help with self-defense.

The major advantage of the Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light is just the same as the major advantage of being Batman. The ability to inspire great fear in the cowardly criminal element. Think of how it would feel to be a burglar, creeping quietly through a strange house. Your senses are heightened. One mistake and it’s over. Then, suddenly, you see a little red dot. Everyone knows what that little red dot means, especially a burglar. Any sensible burglar would just turn and run. And so the Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light could keep you safe. Or, at least, save you from dirtying up your real weapon. It’ll be a collectable one day. And bullets cost money. Who are you, Bruce Wayne? You can’t just throw cash out the window for a stupid burglar!

Way Number Four: The Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light can be used in outsider art.

Them big city folk love to find outsider art. Partly because they find it challenging, and partly because it lets them say things like “Imagine what he’d produce if he’d gone to art school!” which makes them feel superior. But who cares what they say as long as the checks cash, are we right? Grab a handful of Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Lights and a little bit of creek mud and you’ve suddenly got a piece of art that maybe compares politics to a toilet or something. Keep those ideas simple and you’ll be a millionaire.

Way Number Five: The Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light could save lives in case of an accident.

There’s a blackout. And an earthquake. And a flood. And box of electricity falls into the flooded chasm. Plus just at that moment, a new freeway is opening. You’ve got to find a red light so all those cars know they have to stop. But who has a red light just lying around? Unless… the Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light! With the included nine volt battery, you’re set to be the hero of the night. It might even get you on The View. And won’t those ladies love to know you’re an outsider artist (see way number four above)?

Way Number Six: A Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light Can Make A Really Cool Fashion Accessory

Who needs the 70s gigolo hat and cane? You’re a cyber-pimp! A Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light makes the most useless cane in history, and as we know, useless is the height of fashion. With one of these, some steampunk goggles, a cool furry hat, and some yellow pants with blue stripes, you could totally own the runways of Paris. It’s all about attitude anyway. Let ‘em stare.

So there you are. Six ways the Luminosity Toilet Flush Handle Night Light can change your life. Take your time. Think it over. They’ll be here until Midnight central. And we’re sure you’ll agree, this is one item you can’t afford to be without.

Unique Flush Handle Night Light replaced an ordinary front mounted handle
A night light for sleepy time visits, and conveniently located in your new flush handle

Off to Florida.. again..

without comments

Another month; another trip to Disney – Jennys Mom will be watching Shadow and our house. Protect our $5 worth of valuables.

My mother; sister and sisters fiance will be at the house – can’t wait to see them all. The drive is about 7 hours – so I anticipate we will be there about 7.30pm. The house we are staying at is slightly beyond Disney so a little longer. Very excited – and looking forward to a memorable 98th trip to Disney.

New Addiction

without comments

appleGot a new addiction; Altitude from Nimbly Games. Works on the Mac – you pilot aircraft and blast the hell out of competitors (who are all online also) – and its a lot of fun. There are different sub games – Ball – which involves shooting the ball into the opposite net; or base destruction which is self explanatory.

Its a lot of fun; but I get a lot of flak for the name I use for my plane ‘TottenhamRulez’. I am sure I will lose interest soon; but while it lasts; it is a lot of fun! I also like it when one of the kids takes over with the fire button and I can taunt fellow players ‘Ha; youve been nuked by a 3 year old!!’
