Being Productive...Kind Of

Tonight between the hours of 6:00pm - 9:00pm we managed
to experience 7 Disneyland attractions.
After tonight, I am successfully able to cross 4 attractions of The List including a ride I have NEVER been on before...and in just 3 short hours!
Star Tours
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
King Arthur Carousel
Pinocchio's Daring Journey

I only have one attraction left in Tomorrowland,
but the Astro Orbit is being remodeled,
so I may have to wait until my summer hiatus on my pass is over
before I even have a chance to cross that one off.

So now this list is as follows:

I think I can do it. Here are what I have been on so far and what I have left to do.

Tesoro Owned the Weekend

I enjoyed watching this video 18 times this weekend. We played it at the beginning of the service and at the end of the service, and Jake probably played it 10 times in between services.

I Like Can I Touch?

You are welcome!

Emails from a 9* year old

*Friday is my sister's 9th birthday, and she has chosen Disneyland as the location of her celebration. This is great for me, because that makes it so much more fun when I actually get to celebrate with her and I don't have to just drop a gift in the mail. In preparation for the big day she has been sending me emails about what she would like to receive for her birthday. As you can imagine emails from a soon-to-be 9 year old can bring you such little moments of joy through out your week so I wanted to share them with you.

Please note the emails are in their original format of when they were sent to me:

I heart Blogs

I sometimes sit down to check my emails and often only read blogs and Twitter. I get so wrapped in what people are doing and what they have going on in their lives that I completely forget about the task at hand.

I guess emails can wait until the next time I think about them and attempt to make it to my inbox.

I Went to the Dentist Today

A little over a year ago (see above picture) I started thinking that I really should look for a new dentist since it has been so long since the last time that I went.

The thing is that the longer I am away from the dentist the more and more and more nervous I get about going back. BUT great news! Only one cavity...gotta love that!

Also, I am sure you can imaging how good it felt to mark "Make Dentist Appointment" off of my to do list.

P.S. "Send President Email" is not referring to me sending an email Barack...in case you were wondering.
