[brookelizabeth]

Hi there ....can I join in?

I am loving that you two became such close girlfriends over the DIS and did a "DIS-surprise" trip! So far it truly sounds like a perfect girlfriends trip, talking late into the night, painting toe nails, candy and being a tad goofy.

Of course you can join in! And I'm very blessed by Tink. She's my best friend. I feel lucky to have any girlfriends, what with how hectic life can get, so I'm very, very grateful for the DIS.

And I don't know that "a tad goofy" is really an accurate description. As you'll see.

By various pictures.

In which I'll be headless, but I think you'll still get the idea.

Soooooo.......

....liquor??




....A junky apple!!!



















.....do you accept cash?!.....

Yum, yum, yum!

I accept all three. Cash totally unnecessary when liquor, junky apples, and chocolate are involved.

Actually, in lieu of cash, I'd be happy with Jack Sparrow. Could you toss him in there? Just go to the Pirate Tutorial in the Magic Kingdom with a great length of rope, use said rope to "kidnap" said pirate, ellude Disney security, and voila!

Hmm....now that I think about it, I don't know if I'd get him back from you if you did that.

I hate to post more without getting Tink's take on stuff, so I'll pop off an e-mail to her and see where she's at this weekend.

Truthfully, I'm ITCHING to write the next chapter.

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray! A Tink and TK update! Love how you packed surprises -- I am a huge fan of Cadbury Fruit and Nut myself -- and you got to play cards during the plane ride!!!

Can't wait to read more!

Looking forward to the 'various pictures'...

The whole packing surprises thing went over so well, I'm going to recreate it on my September trip, just with more DS oriented stuff.

I may have gotten a little corny.

Possibly.

Okay, maybe a lot.

[AshClan]

I'm a little late to the party, but wanted to pop in to say that I am GIDDY for the both of you!

I know how much fun those "girls trips" can be, especially with DISfriends, who are just as hyped up on the Disney kool-aid as you are! I can't wait to hear all about it!!

There is no late, my dear. And if it is, it's fashionable!

We had a great time. I can't wait to write all about it.

Love the comment about the Disney kool-aid.

Thanks for joining us! When last I spoke with our darling Tink, she was planning an update. So I'm "patiently" waiting for her to do that. She knows how much I'm dying to write more, so hopefully, it'll be soon.

[ILuvCrush]

We thought it was pretty awesome, too.

Oh, the three of you are going to have an AWESOME time!!! I can't wait. And I can't wait to meet you!

[Tinkerbellarella]

Ok, business first. I'm going to do some replies here and respond to what TK wrote with some of my own observations. Then I'm going to let TK have at it for the next chapter and I'll take the one after that. Unfortunately, Life has made a huge appearance over the past two weeks. Last week I had MAJOR car issues (read: EXPENSIVE) with Lola. This past weekend it was Engagement Party Madness for my brother and sister-in-law-to-be and right now I'm dealing with some unexpected medical issues with one of my furry babies. I'm literally sick with worry. I'm hoping to get to the vet with her today. Hoping nothing is terribly wrong.

However, I don't want to hold up this TR either. So, without further ado, see my replies/additions to TK's LOVERLY chapter below...

Intelligent life is debatable. I'd slept pretty well, but given how late we were up discussing...well...everything under the sun, I was still tired. But excited. And as we all know, once you're up on Disney morning there's no going back to sleep.

You know, I'm going to stop right here and say, in defense of women worldwide, we were both up, showered, dressed, packed and ready to go out the door in 55 minutes. Women high maintenance? Pssht.

The boy had a one track mind. LOL

Cue Auntie Tink melting inside.

When she says tractor, people, she means a FARM tractor not a semi or anything like that. It was just chugging along at about 3mph.

Ahh. The joys of traveling solo. Many of which I shared with TK on this trip.

During the many random conversations we have through e-mail (sometimes at work), I had discovered that her favorite lollipops were red. We hand them out at the bank to the kiddos, although I tell my customers they're for children of all ages. A little Disney lives with me every day, trust me. So I got her three different kinds of red for the plane ride, and presented them. She was happy.

I WAS happy. Like, 5-year-old happy. Seriously. I still have two of the pops.

She said yes. Brave woman.

I can't belive she trusts me.

Honestly, I think I temporarily lost that strainer between my brain and my mouth. I just out and answered. Ha!

And seriously? I might be smiling like an idiot but boy do I look tired. I'm just realizing this now. My eyes in particular. Ick.

Fun fact for those of you flying SW and checking in online or otherwise - if you get boarding number A-16, you will likely be the first person to board the plane. In the past 4 flights I've been on, they don't distribute numbers A-1 through A-15. Not sure why. So, this time around I was A-17 and the second person on the plane. Score!

Don't listen to her. The woman is a WAR card shark.

Card. Shark.

And no lie. The first game of WAR lasted for almost 2 hours.

Originally Posted by TarzansKat

We played war twice, right? Or was it three times? Did you win once? Memory is hazy here, I think you won once. Anyway, look for further clarification on this matter when Tink chimes in.

I don't know. Did I win? I didn't write that down. I didn't think I did. I think you dominated all of the games we played. Until later...when I started using the power of the elements. LOL Just call me STORM.

We smelled it through the wrapper before we even opened it. I about DIED when she pulled this out. GOOD MILK CHOCOLATE? If this were an alternate reality whereby TK was TK with said candy and I was Jack Sparrow, I'd marry her.

Oh, you mean like when you had, like 100 points in the first hand and I was already negative?! LOL
