Lu, texting me from school this morning regarding other teenagers:

Lu: I hate people who think their life is so hard. They don't know what a hard life is. Maybe i don't hate them. Maybe i pity and envy them at the same time.

Lu: Maybe i'm just a weird child. Actually, just scratch the maybe. I KNOW i am a weird different child in both good and bad ways :)

Lu: Wanna know the weirdest part? I don't have to bend over to get a drink
Me: LOL. That's because it's an old school, before ADA laws required the fountains to be lowered for wheelchair access. :)
Lu: Oh i thought it was because its a high school :) haha

Teacher FAIL

Note from Lu's teacher:

"We would appreciate it if your student could bring a treat (our theme is sweets) to class tomorrow....It is not required that your student bring something, but the entire class will appreciate it if we have lots of goodies to sample....I would greatly prefer NO SODA. We can drink water; it's good for us!"

Me, explaining to Lu about a vocabulary word she heard on her video game...

Random Tuesday Thoughts

We're back! And very, very tired... so you're gonna get a theme meme about a theme park today.

We all got sucked into the world of Disney pin trading. I got some awesome ones, including a Toy Story Alien, the evil Malificent, and a "Do Not Disturb" door hanger for the Tower of Terror's "The Hollywood Hotel".

Here's the four girls in the theatre, waiting for the stage production of "Aladdin" to start. (And if you are ever in Disneyland/California Adventures, you HAVE to go see this...)


Overheard on the shuttle bus going to Disneyland:
Mom to 2-year old girl: Janie, would you like to come over here and sit by me?
Older sister to 2-year old girl: Don't fall for it!

Ron is 6'2", and still had to stretch to high five Sully. :)

I ran into an old friend from college while at Disneyland! We haven't seen each other in over 15 years. We found out we were both there at the same time because of our FaceBook updates. LOL!

Favorite rides at California Adventures: Tower of Terror and California Screamin'. The latter is probably the smoothest coaster I've ever ridden, and is just plain FUN to ride.

Favorite new ride: Toy Story Midway Mania! in California Adventures.

Favorite rides at Dizzyland: Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Haunted Mansion. I find it rather strange that Splash Mountain, one of the main ride attractions at Disney, is based off a movie you can't even get ("Song of the South"). Go figure.

We also went to the beach for an afternoon. It was Jak and Nikki's first time at the ocean! Doesn't Nikki look like she's having a blast in the waves? :)

A half hour into our long drive home, the check engine light came on. Thankfully, we were traveling back in the afternoon, and found a Jiffy Lube to diagnose the computer code for us. I googled the code on my Blackberry, and we figured out that we needed to tighten our gas cap. Yes, really. I guess if it's not on tight enough, something happens to the emission vacuum positron electron gasitron whoknowsitron thingamajig, causing an air leak. And causes you much stress until you figure out you don't need to worry about it.

Lu: :( save me!!!

Me: I think you'll survive. LOL
Lu: I dunno i'm running out of air and i don't think I'll live much longer!!
Me: Uh huh. Yeah. Well, I'll pick up your bored body on the way out.
Lu: You're willing to let your ungrateful daughter die?!?! How could you?!
Me: Because I'm cool like that.
Lu: Nope! You're just a mean mom
Me: You know it! :)
