    Birthday trip to Walt Disney World!

    I just got back...from Disney World!!!
    That is where I picked to go for my birthday this year!
    My friend, John Paul, and I took a road trip to Florida, and spent the week going to Disney World.
    We started at Epcot, spent a day there...
    When we first got there we rode Spaceship Earth.
    Then we headed over to World Showcase where we had lunch in France...at Le Chefs de France. Then we worked our way around all of the countries. We rode the Maelstrom in Norway, and El Rio del Tiempo in Mexico. Then back to Future World we headed to try out some rides, stoping by the butterfly house on the way.
    The Test Track was closed due to technical problems...so we missed out on it! But we did get to ride Mission: SPACE! It was too cool!!! (the only thing I did not like about it...they leave you on Mars! lol) Then over to The Land...and we rode Living with the Land and the new ride Soarin'...it was amazing! John Paul and I then went to United Kingdom and ate Fish and Chips for dinner, before time to watch the IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth! What an awesome show! Great fireworks!!!
    What a loooong day, my feet were hurting sooooo bad! But I was all ready for another few days of Disney!
    Our 2nd day we went to MGM-Studios, where we HAD to start by riding the Tower of Terror! I love that ride!!!!!! We then tried to ride the Rockin' Rollar Coaster, but it closed, while we were standing in line, due to technical problems! It seemed our luck with getting to ride the rides was not real good! The ride stayed closed the rest of the day!!!
    We then headed over to the Backlot Tour, then to watch the Motor Cars and Stars Parade.
    We ended the day going to Downtown Disney to have a nice dinner. We ate at Portabello, it was pretty good!
    On Sunday, May 21st...my birthday...we went to the Magic Kingdom!!! We got to ride Space Mountain, It's a Small World, Splash Mountain, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Stitch's Great Escape, Cinderella's Golden Carrousel, Walt Disney World Railroad, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, The Haunted Mansion. I also got to see Mickey Mouse!! Where he directed everyone in the room singing Happy Birthday to me!
    We watched the Share a Dream Come True Parade, and Wishes the fireworks over the castle at the end of the night.
    John Paul and I ate at The Crystal Palace for my birthday dinner! Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh came and sang happy birthday to me!!!!
    how cool is that?
    We would have liked to have eaten at Cinderella's Royal Table...in the castle...but you have to make reservations 180 days ahead of time! THAT IS INSANE!!!!!!!  so needless to say, that was out!
    Let me say, being at Magic Kingdom is an amazing way to spend your birthday!!!!!!
    --------------------------------------
    Our last day at Disney was spent at Animal Kingdom. It was a semi-cool day so most of the animals were out. We started by riding the newest rollar coaster...Expedition Everest-Legend of the Forbidden Mountain! it was really cool, half of it was backwards! i just wish it would have lasted longer! we also rode the Kali River Rapids, Dinosaur, Wildlife Express Train, and the Kilimanjaro Safari. John Paul and I explored the Maharajah Jungle Trek and the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail. On these trail is where we saw the tigers and gorillas and lots of other animals!
    We also go to see Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade!
    Since Animal Kingdom closes early, we went back over to MGM Studios to try and ride the Rockin' Rollar Coaster! Luckily it was open!!! So we rode it 3 times and the Tower of Terror 2 more times!!
    The lines were very short luckily!!!!
    Then unfortunatly it was time to head out and pack to come home! But I guess that was a good thing, because my feet were soooooo sore! I don't think I could have walked any further!
    --------------------------------------------------
    I had a wonderful birthday this year!!!!
    take a look at all the pictures I posted from my trip!

    North Carolina Girls...

    Gotta love  North Carolina  Girls!
     
     A girl from  North Carolina  and a girl from the  west  coast were seated side by side on an airplane.

     The girl from  North Carolina , being friendly and all, said, "So, where ya from?"

     The  west  coast girl said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence."

     The girl from  North Carolina  sat quietly for a few moments and then replied: "So, where ya from, bitch?"

    Murphy's Laws...

    Since it is hump day...thought I would add an entry that goes with the theme of the day!!!
     
    Murphy's Law On Sex
    ============

    1. The more beautiful the woman is who loves you, the easier it is to leave her with no hard feelings.

    2. Nothing improves with age.

    3. No matter how many times you've had it, if it's offered take it, because it'll never be quite the same again.

    4. Sex has no calories.

    5. Sex takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.

    6. There is no remedy for sex but more sex.

    7. Sex appeal is 50% what you've got and 50% what people think you've got.

    8. No sex with anyone in the same office.

    9. Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last.

    10. A man in the house is worth two in the street.

    11. If you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.

    12. Virginity can be cured.

    13. When a man's wife learns to understand him, she usually stops listening to him.

    14. Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.

    15. The qualities that most attract a woman to a man are usually the same ones she can't stand years later.

    16. Sex is dirty only if it's done right.

    17. It is always the wrong time of month.

    18. The best way to hold a man is in your arms.

    19. When the lights are out, all women are beautiful.

    20. Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either.

    21. Sow your wild oats on Saturday night -- Then on Sunday pray for crop failure.

    22. The younger the better.

    23. The game of love is never called off on account of darkness.

    24. It was not the apple on the tree but the pair on the ground that caused the trouble in the garden.

    25. Sex discriminates against the shy and the ugly.

    27. Before you find your handsome prince, you've got to kiss a lot of frogs.

    28. There may be some things better than sex, and some things worse than sex. But there is nothing exactly like it.

    29. Love your neighbor, but don't get caught.

    30. Love is a hole in the heart.

    31. If the effort that went in research on the female bosom had gone into our space program, we would now be running hot-dog stands on the moon.

    32. Love is a matter of chemistry, sex is a matter of physics.

    33. Do it only with the best.

    34. Sex is a three-letter word which needs some old-fashioned four-letter words to convey its full meaning.

    35. One good turn gets most of the blankets.

    36. You cannot produce a baby in one month by impregnating nine women.

    37. Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

    38. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

    39. Thou shalt not commit adultery.....unless in the mood.

    40. Never lie down with a woman who's got more troubles than you.

    41. Abstain from wine, women, and song; mostly song.

    42. Never argue with a women when she's tired -- or rested.

    43. A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man, the women he couldn't.

    44. What matters is not the length of the wand, but the magic in the stick.

    45. It is better to be looked over than overlooked.

    46. Never say no.

    47. A man can be happy with any woman as long as he doesn't love her.

    48. Folks playing leapfrog must complete all jumps.

    49. Beauty is skin deep; ugly goes right to the bone.

    50. Never stand between a fire hydrant and a dog.

    51. A man is only a man, but a good bicycle is a ride.

    52. Love comes in spurts.

    53. The world does not revolve on an axis.

    54. Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation; the other eight are unimportant.

    55. Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking.

    56. Don't do it if you can't keep it up.

    57. There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love.

    58. Never go to bed mad, stay up and fight.

    59. Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.

    60. "This won't hurt, I promise."

    Happy Hump Day!

    sexy...

    You Are Bad Girl Sexy
    Girl, you are nothing but trouble. And that's hot.
    You've got the classic bad girl sexiness mojo going on.
    And your badass attitude makes men fear you - and crave you.
    Don't give into people who say to tone it down. You're perfect as is.

    It's about time!

    You know how sometimes in life you experience something...that you want to hold on to, keep for as long as you can, and never let it go...because it seems SO perfect. Well, back in October, I found that! His name is Eric. 
     

    Image hosting by Photobucket

    He SEEMED so wonderful! I will never forget the day he told me that he had fallen in love with me! It was December 4th...I was so happy! Happier than I had been in a long time!
     
    I loved spending time with him, talking to him, or just sitting together watching tv. He gave the best hugs! He would say the sweetest, most wonderful things to me! He made me feel so special!
    My friends liked him...even my parents liked him! I did not want it to ever end!
    I would have done anything for him!
    It really did seem perfect!
    We spent all of our time together, and if we were not together, we were talking on the phone. 
    At the end of December, he changed...
    He, to this day, tells me that he loves  me! 
    And I have been trying to hold on to him. I guess actually what I was doing was pretending that we still had something. That I was imaging how distant he has been. For a month and a half...I cried over him! Making myself sick over him!
     I have finally come to the conclusion that, I have wasted a lot of my time...upseting myself over him! I have known that it was time to let go and move on...but for some reason I just could not do it!
    This past weekend...it finally dawned on me...
    I DESERVE SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!
     
     
    I just have to keep telling myself that one day, I will find a guy that is perfect for me and will treat me how I deserve to be treated!

    Going to the Circus!!!

    I know...I am 30 years old...and I still love to go to the circus!
     
    Image hosting by Photobucket
    I have gone every year, for many years now! Usually I go with a friend of mine, but due to circumstances around that "friendship" we no longer speak, so that would have made it difficult to go to the circus together! LOL!
    So this year, I went with my Mom and Dad! We really had a great time!
    I love the animals! Mainly the elephants!!!!
    Which of course, is why, I have a collection of stuffed elephants that I have collected over the years of going to the circus!
    I also love the big cats! They are just so beautiful!
    I can't wait to have kids of my own one day, that I can start the tradition of going to the circus with!!!

    Goofing off...

    ok, we were having a "fashion flashback" the other night at work! We all "pin rolled" our pants, like we did back in the late 80's and early 90's. We laughed so hard about it! But hey, we looked all hot and sexy!!!

    Frankie...R.I.P.

    ~~Frankie~~
     
    I did not have him very long, but I will still miss him! He was a sweet little cat. He appeared at my parents house several months ago, and was just a little kitten with a bad leg. But he was so cute you could not just run him off!
    So we took him in and started feeding him and caring for him.
    He had finally gotten to the point where he would let you pet him, and not just when he was eating! (lol)
    He was precious...with those big blue eyes!
    Two nights ago he got into the fence with my dogs, and they killed him.
    I feel very bad because I was supposed to have put my dogs in before I went out that night and I forgot...until I got home late that night. By the time I got over there to put up the dogs...it was too late. So, I feel responsible...like it is all my fault!
    I just hope he did not hurt! That he went quickly and that he did not suffer!
    I love you little blue eyes!

    Storm clouds rolling in...

    Wow!
    It had been a georgous day...then the storm clouds rolled in!

    They were so dark but mysterious, I just had to stop and take some pictures!
    It is amazing how the storm clouds can be so scary looking but beautiful at the same time!

    ok...I am getting my travel itch again!

    Ok, let me explain! Every so often when it has been a while since I have traveled anywhere...I get the urge to travel again! (hence the pics of Paris on my page...) Paris has been one of my most favorite places I have ever been! (and I was only there for several hours) So I am looking so foward to the day that I get to go back to France and spend plenty of time seeing Paris and the rest of the country. I would also love to go back to Luxembourg! That is a beautiful place!
    So I am ready to pack my bags and take off to some beautiful foreign land!
     
    (here are a few pics from some of my travels!)
