09/27/2005 Archived Entry: "The weekend"

Saturday was supposed to be a day of nothing except I had to run to Target and the grocery store first thing in the morning, then Chris took Tabitha to hula, then we all went to CompUSA, Old Navy and Target again for a forgotten item. Then we had to go to the good guys since CompUSA didn't have what we needed and by the time we got home on our day of rest, it was after 4. Not sure how that happened. I spent the evening working on the new Disney site. I'm don't know how I thought it would be finished this weekend, there is far too much to do. It's not just a matter of moving the site, I'm also combining the pictures and location guide so that is many, many html pages I have to write. I'm just plugging away working on it when I can. I do have the new domain name though so as soon as all my pages are ready, I can start the uploading process and also installation of Word Press.

Sunday we headed out to Disneyland and ended up spending another long day there. It's odd how we're doing that more and more lately. I had packed a lunch and we ate it in the car right after we parked. We made a quick stop at Sephora in Downtown Disney for some Clinique and then went in to Disney to find it rather crowded for a Sunday in September. Tabitha participated in a little Junior Chef's program. Basically the kids work together to make cookie dough and drop the dough on a cookie sheet. They don't bake them as there really isn't time so they're just given cookies that are already made. Tabitha saw that if there was a birthday kid, they were given a large, Mickey shaped cookie so now she's planning on doing it again on her birthday.

After the cookies, we smashed a few pennies for Tabitha's book and then stopped at one of the shops so Tabitha and I could each get a charm. Tabitha has a charm necklace and I have a bracelet. We chose the same charm which is a retro version of the old Disneyland sign. I think I'm going to get a bracelet and start it for Daisy since I don't know if these will still be around when she's older. Next we went into California Adventure where we did the factory tours, purchased a loaf of Mickey shaped sourdough bread and rode a few rides. By the time we left it was 4:30. Once home I whipped up some spaghetti and we had the sourdough bread which was so good. Crisp on the outside and very hot and fluffy on the inside.

For whatever reason I was just exhausted that night and was in bed before 10. Tabitha wasn't even asleep yet, lol.
