updates

it sure has been awhile since i updated! 


end of september was great! goo goo dolls in concert! it had been almost 4 years to the day since i had last seen my boys. john had too much make-up on though. they were so good and it was over way too fast, especially since it had been 4 years. i can still see that day 4 years ago, the day they re-opened the superdome. that was magic! and i totally can't listen to better days without thinking of how there was not a dry eye in the audience at the dome that day. makes me teary too!


after goo, we headed down to tampa for dan's band...rush. the weather was great for an outdoor arena. the concert was great. my first rush concert was in 1975 when they opened for aerosmith. that's all the lady behind us would tell us.   she was pretty coherent for everything else though. idk why she said that every 5 minutes. 


then it was back up to orlando for disney! it was great. thomas was so much fun to watch on rides/shows. he took everything in and was soooo good. he didn't like 'face' characters...mulan, cinderella, prince charming, evil step sisters. he was shy with stitch, donald and daisy. he came out of his shell with goofy, pluto, mickey and minnie. mickey and minnie were probably the best experiences, he was so smiley and happy! he just watched and stared at lightening mcqueen and mater. they made vroom noises and their eye's moved. 


dan and i spent most of our spending money on food and wine festival food. canada's cheddar cheese soup is always on the top of my list. but i have to say argentina's grilled beef skewer with chimichurri sauce and Boniato purée was just to die for!  


my favorite drink is so hard to say, the frozen bacardi torched cherry colada from puerto rico. i really don't like cherry, but omg, fabulous! i wish i had a much bigger one then the little sample size. for non-alcoholic was italy's primavera fruit smoothie. yum!


epcot at food and wine fest is my favorite time. i've never been that big a fan of that park. but i've got a new appreciation for the park. especially since we've been trying different restaurants when we go. this year we chose coral reef in the living seas pavillion. it was good! we got so much food! we cashed in our change jar and that paid for almost the entire meal. LOL even little man ate his mickey shaped pizza. 


the mickey shaped pizza must have crack in them! he would eat those whenever we saw them on the menu. 


at MGM, sorry, that park will always be mgm to me, we took thomas on the great movie ride. it was the first ride of the trip and his face was priceless! lots of ooooh's. he was just wonderful to see. perfect age. actually last year at 9 months old was perfect also. 


our magic kingdom day didn't start out too magical. we stayed off grounds, so we drove everyday...well as we're going through the magical gates saying welcome my camera decides it's not going to open. i keep playing with it and cursing it and it wouldn't do anything but turn on, make a noise and then shut off. did i mention it was also about 59 degrees that morning and we were in shorts? 


so for an hour we sat outside the front of the park waiting for it to open and my camera is dead. my most favorite place and my camera is dead. thomas and i separated from the group and i went to the camera emporium shop. $20 for 39 exposures on a disposable camera. i was desperate. i didn't get as many pics as i would have liked, but i got the important ones of thomas and mickey! 


magic kingdom was so much fun too! thomas enjoyed those rides, hell i love those rides too. i hate coasters so the sit in a boat and watch things kinda rides are for me. it was crazy how much construction is going on! i can't wait to go back and see it all! ok, hopefully we'll be back before it's open and then after it's opened. 


we also got to hang out and see tommy and ashley. we all watched the electrical light parade. they are so cute! when we left,  i went to walmart and bought a new digital cam. sony sureshot 14.1 megapixels. i'm in love with it! 


animal kingdom was fine. it's really not my favorite. the animal trails are great and we found thomas didn't want to leave the fish tanks. he loved the animals and safari. guess we need to go to the zoo/aquarium more often. that park also tires me out more. the other 3 parks can fit in that 1 park with room left over. plus the hills and pushing a 25lb child = worn out mommy! 


since we've come home, i daydream a lot about moving down there. i love that area. it's so much fun and there's so much to do there. did i mention they also have nice shopping areas? not just 1 mall like this shitty city. there's just so much awesomeness about orlando. 


we also celebrated our first trick or treating! thomas was a golfer. he loves golf. we didn't really do anything last year, so we actually hit a few streets this year. so much fun! thomas loves his golfer's costume. 


the 1st nite we were in the house in orlando, i woke up at 5 a.m. and there he was, wide awake laying between dan's legs watching golf on the golf channel. i really wish i had thought to get my camera at that moment, but i really had to pee! 


so being a golfer for halloween was an easy choice. he came in 2nd place at the costume contest at the hornets game. $150 plus 2 tickets to the game next week. 


his birthday will be golf themed. buying up little things here and there. brought him to academy sports and they have a whole little set up for golf. he was trying all the big people clubs until i found an under 5 club. yes it came home with us, cause it was only $5. leaving academy wasn't very much fun. bloody murder screaming for about 10 minutes. 


and being the awesome me told dan that now we had to move to fl because that's where alllllll the pro golfers live and play. 


today we went and took 2 year pictures, wearing his golf costume. former co-worker is going to be a pro photog and wanted kid pics. i saw a little preview and they were good! 


i just wish dan could have enjoyed it more because he was fighting another losing battle on the phone. we're still horrible parents, our son is still retarded, as is my family and we're not doing anything with our child and well the list goes on and on. i'm surprised CPS hasn't been called on us we're so horrible. i'm completely annoyed and pissed and if it continues, i will be opening my mouth and this person won't ever have to see thomas again. do not piss thomas' mommy off. you have no clue evidently. and don't think an i'm sorry will solve it, because no it won't and no i don't forgive or forget. and if you continue to open your mouth and cause shit, i will say who you are. because you should be damned ashamed of yourself for pissing us both off. 


and that's about all that's happened in the last 2 months. and how in a month and a week will i have a 2 year old?! i can't believe my little man is so big.
