Making Blankies
We have been making blankets for the Disney volunteer day. We made a whole mess a' blankets and figure we can take a good chunk of the family this fall with the free passes we've earned. I can't wait to take my grandkids! I will buy them cotton candy any time they ask. I will also get me a bunch of frozen bananas and Dole Whips. I can't wait to go!
If you want to volunteer for the free Disney day, go here. So worth it!

Lucky Dozen
I just got my 12th root canal. 12! I really might as well get implants at this point. W.O.M.- Waste of Money. And to think I even work for a dentist.

Shalom from Israel!
We enjoyed a great post-Christmas/New Year's celebration in Israel. We went to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and packed in quite a few things I've always wanted to see. (You know me, I have to check things off my list or I'll pine about it for years.) At first I was worried to go (and I didn't dare go alone with just me and Mac) but when we got there I saw there was nothing to be worried about and we had a great time .
Here I am at the Damascus Gate entry to the Old City of Jerusalem. It was easy to get lost there! I was mad we spent so much time wandering around when we could have been seeing things I could check off my list. What a waste.
Mac and I at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where Christ was allegedly crucified. Now it is a big Greek Orthodox cathedral. I got this scarf in the Arab market and I couldn't haggle myself so I had to have my daughter do it for me. Otherwise I would have been taken for a ride.
One great thing about the expensive Israeli hotels is they all have a fantastic buffet breakfast. We ate these breakfasts and had no need for lunch and sometimes not even supper. Naturally the person who benefitted the most from these breakfast buffets was Mac and he certainly put any crowd at the Golden Corral to shame. I think the hoteliers weren't too pleased when he came through because he ate them out of house and home. This is just one of the many plates he loaded up. Sad, really.
Here I am around the Old City. Or Gethsemane or the Mount of Olives, I can't remember. I stick out like a sore thumb on my trips abroad even though I am a seasoned traveler. I left my Tinkerbell jacket at home this time but I did bring my "Italia" visor.
Mac and I enjoying some falafel at a busy restaurant in Jerusalem. We loved these and Mac stopped and got two more after this. We pretended not to notice the cigarette dangling from the cook's mouth the entire time. And no one got sick really so we're fine.
The view from our hotel of sunny Tel Aviv. We spent New Year's Eve here by ourselves after our kids banished us from hanging out with them. We ran into them anyway, ha ha. Joke's on them.
The boardwalk at the Tel Aviv Port. Nice Mediterranean view.

We ended our vacation in sunny Arizona with my BFF Janny and her hubby Clint. It was 72 degrees and we ate oranges off their tree, took a walk, and stole furniture from the neighbors. Thanks, Janny for letting us stay with you!
We had a blast in Israel and Arizona and I can't wait to hassle my kids about another trip very soon!

Disneyland with Janny
I just got back from Disneyland with my BFF Janny for her special birthday visit. Don't judge but I did fly into Phoenix and then drove to California with Janet. Yes, that was a long drive but when you have great company the time just flies right by.
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza for a fabulous rate, and that was just divine. The first night we went to Downtown Disney and laughed so hard, well, you know what happens when you laugh too hard.
The next day we woke up early and headed straight to my favorite place in the world: Disneyland!
Janny and I enjoying Disneyland.

Tigger and one of the many parades Disney throws at its visitors. They do not disappoint.
There we are, in the middle row, enjoying our hearts out on the Splash Mountain. Don't worry if this looks like a picture of a picture...yeah, don't worry about it.

On one of the many rides we took. We also went to California Adventure where Janny proceeded to dig her nails into the armrests of the Tower of Terror ride. That was the last time she went on that one.
We had a blast and can't wait to do it again!

My Kids Went to Boston and All I Got Was This Lousy Blog Post
I'm still so angry with my kids for going to New England without me. I try to invite myself with my kids (and their friends) on nearly every trip they go on (not to mention I invite myself to their parties too) but I just could not successfully invite myself on their latest trip. I am still so biting upset that they went without me because everyone knows how I would have loved to have gone. I won't be speaking to them for awhile (until the next trip I can invite myself on).
I would have loved to have gone to New Hampshire. I've never been there. I'll probably never get to go either. Thanks a lot.
I've always wanted to go to Sharon, Vermont and of course this is the week my kids picked to go. Without me. And they knew I've always wanted to go here. I bet I never get here either.
The Freedom Trail sounded so fun to me. I am such a fun traveler and walking partner. I would have run circles around these guys. But no, I wasn't invited.
Why can't I go to Maine? Maine would love to have me.
This could have been the trip that bonded Kate and me so she wouldn't have any more crying fits when I walked into a room with her. But that didn't happen either.
I love fresh maple syrup! Especially fresh maple syrup in Vermont. How dare they!

I just wish that someone would've taken me to New England because they knew how much I have always wanted to see the fall leaves and all the great authors' birth and resting places. I wish my kids cared about me enough to wait for me to be able to come.
Hmph.
