Almost on vacation!

In six minutes, David will officially be on vacation for TWO weeks. I still have 6 working hours left. This time tomorrow, we will be en route to Atlanta, where — hold on — phone call.

It’s David. “My vacation’s starting! Your vacation’s NOT.” He’s “smelling the new vacation air.” Oh, Lord.

I just hung up on him. Happy Vacation!

Where was I? Oh yes…Atlanta. After an hour layover, we’ll be on our way to Sunny Orlando, where we have a car service scheduled to pick us up and whisk us to the Disney’s Polynesian Resort! We’ll be dining at ‘Ohana (means family) tomorrow night.

But I still have today to get through. I’m wearing a Minnie Mouse shirt, my fave Disneyland hoodie, Mickey Mouse earrings, and I have my WDW official Mickey ears (with Kimberly embroidered on the back, natch) to wear for extra effect. Goal: To be so annoying I get sent home early.

Mood: Eager to get out of work. Naturally, the minutes are dragging.
Work docket: Hot Properties — ads are being finicky. Tweak recipe database for upload into new system. Waiting for Voter Guide info, which hopefully will arrive after I’ve left.
Lunch: Unknown
Afternoon: Rousing walk with Max. Start whirlwind of cleaning and packing.
Evening: Drop Max off at Mom’s around 8ish.
Tomorrow: Depart Casa LadyGypsy at 4:00 am.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog at all while I’m away. As I’ve mentioned before, Disney, for all of its splendor, is horrible with allowing Internet access. They’re making wireless access available soon, but for those of us w/o laptops, that doesn’t mean a hill of beans.

Let’s kick out the Friday Five, shall we?:

1. Name five things in your refrigerator.
Gatorade, Shredded cheese, flat Diet Vanilla Coke, tomatoes, eggs

2. Name five things in your freezer.
Boca Burgers, Mickey Mouse Ice Cube Trays, Cold packs for injuries, butter, and I THINK some pork chops. And lots of frost. We’re going to defrost it today.

3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.
Windex, Vanilla Scented Pledge, 409, Nature’s Miracle, trash bags

4. Name five things around your computer.
Mickey Mouse bobblehead, family pictures, unopened November issue of Lucky magazine, spiral notebook, empty Oreo cookie tray.

5. Name five things in your medicine cabinet.
Well, it’s actually a box. Flonase, naproxen, Allegra samples, bandaids, and Theracare heat pads.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
