As opposed to being wrapped around her finger. The car is in her hand but me, yeah I am most assuredly wrapped around her finger. What can I say I’m a big mush when it comes to that kid.
Long day, the big project at work is coming along. So many things to think about and people to coordinate. I like it but at the same time I feel stifled because of all the approvals that have to take place and the things that should be done immediately because they can be are taking a long time and the things that require real effort are happening quick. It is weird, exciting and fun all at the same time. Although today I had to send an e-mail to every single person in the company from the top on down. I had a feeling of nausea when I pushed send. I’m not even going to look at my e-mail from work until tomorrow. It is best that way.
Yes IZEAFest 2009 is at SeaWorld the home of the Dolphin Bubbles blog. Also a great place for families to go. The hotel for the event has been announced and the rate is $99 a night, that is awesome. I booked a room at the Renaissance SeaWorld for Allison and I and Eva and then used my points to book a room for Auntie Mo. I was going to try and book both rooms with points but didn’t have enough points. So I thought about buying points. Buying points would have cost more than just renting the room. So crazy. But it is worth it for Mo to have time with Eva and also for our piece of mind, we know Eva is with someone we trust. Also we know how much Eva loves Mo and how much Mo loves Eva.
I also booked a Character Breakfast at The Magic Kingdom in the Crystal Palace. It is a Winnie the Pooh Themed Character Breakfast. We are doing that May 15th. It should be a great time.
For some reason the see and say won’t get out of my head. We don’t have one but I just remember the commercials and that is what is in my head as I write this post. No creativity tonight, this is a photo of Eva’s new cow that she got at Hersey Park. Allison too her to the free ride that they have that explains how chocolate is made. Afterward they went to the gift show and Eva snatched up this cute little bovine.
Quiet day around here, after church I took a nap on the couch, sitting up (I’m starting to get like my friend Neil – long story from skiing). Then I went to the supermarket. I was very disappointed to see that there were no pepper jack Cheez-Its at the store. They had every other flavor. I’m not happy with that because The Pepper Jack Cheez-It is the most perfect alternate Cheez-It ever. The Sunshine people are just stinging me along with promises of tasty alternate Cheez-Its and when I find one I truly love it is no where to be found.
I did try something new in the store and I think that Stop & Shop is really embracing a culture that likes constant information and use of technology. I always use the personal shopper scanners and so I scan and bag my groceries throughout the trip. I had never used the Deli Kiosk though to place my deli order. I saw the line of people and decided to check it out. I went over scanned my Stop & Shop card and placed my order. They have an option for favorites so that if you get 1lb of American Cheese each week then that is your favorite and it makes for an easy reorder. But what I really liked was that the kiosk could text you when the order was ready, so I could go, shop and when the order was up and ready I’d get a text message on my phone to let me know I could pick it up. Of course I find out that this is redundant for me because by using the personal shopper scanner and because I used my Stop & Shop card at the kiosk the two devices were tied together and a message came up on my scanner to tell em that my order was ready. I love this technology. The one thing it is missing is the ability to actually place your order on the personal shopper scanner. Now that would certainly be something awesome.
