Funny Out of Context Answers

Who's ready for the answers to my Random Quotes from around the house?

*crickets chirp*

OK here goes.

1) Me: "Jake? Find the banana!" Isabel walked out of the kitchen with a banana. Five minutes later, she walks around the corner; no banana, no peel. I asked her where it was and her answer was "Idunnooooo." I then yelled this out to Jake, who thought I was insane, until I explained to him what happened.

2) Jake: "It's Chinkeling!" This is an oldie. Jake was trying to describe something, a ring, a chime. His tongue got confused and he tried to say "ringing" or "chiming" or "tinkling" but instead, we got Chinkeling. We often use that made-up work to describe bells and chimes, coin rattling, etc.

3) Me: "I've got to get, your parent's anniversary, out of your hair." I was trying to get something out of Jake's hair, at the same time that David asked me what I needed to get a present or card for. Jake was scooting away from my hand and David asked me the question as I started to explain to Jake that he had something in his hair. The above sentence got a laugh from both of them.

4) Me: "Can you NOT play with Bubba's teeth?" In my bedroom dresser drawer, I have two tiny little wood round boxes. Tiny. One contains a strand of Jake's first haircut wrapped in a ribbon. The second has Jake's baby teeth. Isabel rummaged through the drawer and was messing around with the teeth. (Oh, Bubba=Brother=Jake. )

5) Me: "I'm gonna eat your meat, o.k.?" (That sounds REALLY not good!) Jake was not hungry, so I was going to eat the steak he left on his plate, OK??

6) Me: "Stop running around the couch with Bubba's teeth!" See # 4. She decided to run around the couch at full speed, as she often does, but this time with the little tooth box.

7) Jake: "Hey! I learned Gonorrhea's from Florida!" Jake was playing "Call of Duty 4" online with several people. Everyone has crazy screen/account names. One of the players was "Gonorrhea." They talk on-line using headsets and Jake had just found out another player lived in Florida, so he blurted this out.

8) David: "I got killed by soft toilet paper." This time, David was playing "Call of Duty 4" on the PS3. His character got killed by another player, whose screen name was "Soft Toilet Paper."

Where's Mickey?

On Sunday, it POURED on us after 4 hours at Magic Kingdom, so we decided to head home. On the way out, David mentioned he wanted to see the Animal Kingdom Lodge, so we drove in.


Holy Guacamole!! I want to LIVE THERE!! The place was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. A co-worker of mine from Boston and his family stayed there years ago. He said that from his room, they could see giraffes, zebras and other animals. And sure enough, there were balconies facing a mini-safari section. The place was HUGE inside. Gorgeous. Did I mention gorgeous? Disney should pay me. LOL




Here's Isabel looking at some animals. It's blurry because this was actually at night and I am using my camera's night vision shot, which stinks. People's balconies face this area.



There were several areas for people to hang out near bonfires, there were 3 restaurants, pools, kids areas, arcades, indoor lounges and a gift shop. We decided to enter the gift shop and ended up buying this:










Whoa! Like we don't ALREADY have enough excitement in our lives!! We've heard rumors about Hidden Mickeys at WDW. Jake & I would sometimes look on random rides to see if we would see anything. THIS is fun, fun, fun. We had to buy it. Out to the lobby we went because there are 21, yes that's right, twenty-one, hidden at the Animal Kingdom Lodge area! A lot were outside or in restaurants, so we could not get them that day, but here's what we scored.



This one below is on a mural at the lobby. :)





Can you spot the hidden Mickey in this chandelier? I can.





This one below was off the beaten path; down a side hall near guest rooms. Cute.





This next one had us stumped. It's right in the lobby, by a bridge, near a mini-stream (I said it was an awesome lodge).





Here's where I think it is; David thinks I'm reaching. I don't know....I've outlined it in red. Click on it to make the picture bigger.




FUN!! Can't wait to see what else we find. (oh, if you go on Photobucket and search "Hidden Mickey," you can see other people's finds.

Cute but Deadly

Aren't they SO cute? The colors, I love them. These beautiful creatures at Animal Kingdom are also VERY deadly to the touch.

Then, um...we noticed the green ones were..kind of busy. We moved on cause we felt kind-of creepy, ya know?

End of Week 9...I think I can see it

It's the end of week 9 of my exercise and diet regimen. Another 2 pounds lost, with a total of 21 for 9 weeks.



And I can't see it. I take full body pictures, that I mean to post, but then I look at my butt and say "Uh uh." It looks exactly the same! 21 pounds and where is it coming off of?? I can't see it!!!



Then, yesterday on the monorail between Disney and Epcot, David took this picture...and I saw it. (Isn't my girl beautiful?)






But, was I right? Am I really seeing what I think I am seeing? The smaller picture below was taken on May 3rd. I started exercising and dieting on May 25th. You decide.

Funny Out of Context

I was yelling at Jake to do something, and how it came out was pretty darned funny, if you just happened to walk in on the conversation half-way through. I decided to jot down random things said around the house, on a pad in the kitchen. See if you can figure out what the heck we were talking about, and I'll give the real answers in another post.

1) Me: "Jake? Find the banana!

2) Jake: "It's Chinkeling!"

3) Me: "I've got to get, your parent's anniversary, out of your hair.

5) Me: "I'm gonna eat your meat, o.k.?" (That sounds REALLY not good!)

6) Me: "Stop running around the couch with Bubba's teeth!"

7) Jake: "Hey! I learned Gonorrhea's from Florida!"

8) David: "I got killed by soft toilet paper."
