So the week has been pleasantly surprising. OK so it all really started on a Wednesday about two weeks prior. I was doing one of my usually evening IM sessions with Viv and she mentioned that she was going to Disneyland on Sunday and asking if I was gonna go. I was like damn that is just bad timing all around. I had family arriving back from a cruise that day and got christened the chauffeur that was to usher them home from the LA pier.

So I had to decline the invite to meet her in a fairly secure public place. All was not lost though she checked the blackout schedule and found she too could not make it that particular Sunday. Being the problem solver she is and think at her computer, she quickly moved it to the next Sunday, I tentatively agreed

Work that week sucked, One employee had been in a car accident on 12/30 and 'bumped and bruised her knee' and after visiting 4 different doctors found one that would put her out of work for a month. but whatever. Another employee's appendix had burst so he too was out of commission. I didn't know if I'd be able to make it Sunday after all.

Someone was smiling though, Sunday managed to be fully covered with minimal force and I was off to Disneyland!

I got to the park about 1pm and texted Viv to say I'm here! She told me they were just getting off the monorail after lunch. I got stuck on Main Street. First at a store (more about that later... ) then in the bakery for some cookies and coffee, no coffee for me I don't drink the stuff. All the while I'm being pelted with the same question. "When are you going to meet her?" Like five times in a row.

I wanted to send her a text saying Doll SAVE ME!!! lol

Anyhow it was decided that Viv and hers where heading over to Pirates. So I figured ok Ill go wait there and lead the chattering sisters to a brick wall in between a trash can and stroller parking. Alright so that wasn't me best idea ever

There I sat waiting, eating my cookie scanning the crowds moving in the three directions I guessed she would be coming from. I sat there for about 15 minutes and wouldn't you guess it she spotted me before I spotted her! women

It was fun, My sisters chattered nonstop about things you really shouldn't talk about in public much less polite company. No it wasn't that more to do with the aftermath of a burst appendix. :wacko:

It was gross...

When the weren't rattling on about the inane and cruise ships they were holding up the works by shopping. So Viv's hoard and I decided on the Jungle cruise with out them. We got split somehow. Viv's hubby and her kids ended up on one side of the boat with her and I on the other. The mean park guy ruined the magic there. That and she has been on that ride one too many times she knew the spiel better then the doofus piloting did.

All and all I'm looking forward to doing it again, Maybe with one less sister So's we can talk shop or something!

That was last sunday... Thursday I posted Chapter 13 of Living Surreality. I was seriously worried about its content. I was pleasantly surprised with the overwhelmingly positive comments thus far. Thanks guys you rock!
