10/5/2003 ~ Re-hitching


Princess Jasmine had left Em a package in our room. When it was safe to go in, she ran in and changed into her new costume. Luckily she had no need for Xanax.


I found DH at the food court with the rest of our crew. I heard him telling DS that no matter what scruffy says to you, just say no. DS is confused, but agrees. This was going to be DS's day, whatever he wanted to do, because he had to leave us tonight. He wanted to go to Norway in Epcot.


Why?


Have you ever seen the girls in Norway? That’s why.


Commando Nikki is thrilled we will be going into the world showcase because there are hot guys in kilts with electric guitars in Canada. 

"Oh yes, Off-kilter" I say.

 "They take the kilts off?" She squeals clapping her hands. 

We could only wish.


It is at this point Brother appears with his wife in their bride/groom ears. Brother is still scowling at me and I am hiding behind DH. Stupid me thought it would be nice for them to have a re-hitching ceremony because they have only been married 5 months. Anyone want to bet me if they make it to a year?


The crew rides over to Epcot with DS because he is leaving from there and needs his car. DH, myself, Brother and his wife all take the bus. Scruffy is MIA.


We arrive at Epcot and the kids are standing there at the gate, not happy with mother. I have enough on my mind, thinking Brother is going to take me out at any second, how am I suppose to remember they had no tickets to get in. We are only a few minutes behind them.


As we go threw the turnstiles, people are congratulating Brother and his wife.


Please stop it. Every time someone congratulated Brother, he jabbed me in the ribs. I had bruises for days. He takes me aside, distracting his wife with yet another pin cart and says "Do something." 

I go for my lighter, thinking this is the time for me to set myself on fire, but realized at the same time my crew is in Innoventions. "Hey! Consider yourself ditched."


I was outta there.


I met the crew and explained to them the entire mess, and there would be no re-hitching at the garden grill. They were not happy because they liked the ice cream social and wanted to say hi to Chuck & Dave. 

"That’s Chuck & Dale" Em states which just gets them rolling with laughter and makes her mad. The princess is not amused, but has no weapon readily available.

 "Oh, we are going to the ice cream social, make it happen mom." Arrrgh!


Sooo, I call Brother on the cell and say "Hey, guess what, your phone doesn't work and I can't find you."


"That works, because I sat down on a bench took off my groom hat and someone stole it." Translation: I went to the men’s room and jammed that sucker into the bottom of the trash.


We never made it to Norway or Canada, (poor hormonal teenagers). We were playing on test track. The sunburn test was becoming a little less funny. When our car would go through, our crew would say "ow,ow,ow,ow".


We finally got to the ice cream social, but had to wait. DH, DS(19) and Waldo(18) went out to have a cigarette.


Uh oh, Waldo's with us.


Waldo, DS, and DH had a very interesting talk. Come to find out, he was planning on ditching Brother and his wife and just blended in with our crew. WE were the group to be with. He was no fool. When they came back in Waldo took my cell phone and without turning it on started yelling into in "MOM, DAD!" Nope, they couldn't hear him either. He was so pleased with himself.


When it was our turn, the lady at the desk asked if we were doing the re-hitching ceremony. Before I can say no, Dh pipes up and says yes. He still wanted to marry me again.


All together now, awwwwwww.


Everyone except Beatlebum and myself went to the restroom. We had already taken care of washing our hands and were sitting in the booth, talking. As we are talking, Mickey plops himself down next to us. We squeal with delight, and Mickey plays with us for a few minutes. It was the coolest mother-daughter moment in the history of mankind.


Beatlebum realizes the restaurant to moving.


I think she was hoping the rest of the crew wouldn't be able to find us because we weren't in the same place when they left. She looked a bit disappointed when they all showed up.


I think Commando Nikki was getting on her last nerve. She was on mine.


So, we are served these huge ice cream masterpieces. It is worth $6.99, easily. I have fudge dripping from my chin when our server, Bobby comes over and tells us its time.


Bobby also says he's about to embarrass us in from of a room of people.


Bobby hasn't read these trip reports. Bobby is NOT in the "know".


We stand up and take our places, facing each other holding hands, Bobby begins screaming at the top of his lungs to everyone in the restaurant. I am now deaf in that ear, as is DH. He asked me if I take DH again and you'd think where I only had one line, I'd get it right. 


I said yes, I was suppose to say "I do". Ah well, thanks for pointing that out Bobby.


He asked DH if he took me again. Dh looks at the kids, and is squeezing my fingers together. He puts one hand on his chin and tips his head like he is thinking about it. He finally said yes, in which he was immediately corrected by Bobby, "Its 'I do'" and we have to kiss to the count of 100 (by tens). The kids are making all kinds of gagging noises, because they are brats. 

We are given a lovely paper saying we are re-hitched. I like the idea of getting married every time we go to Disney together. At least this time, I wasn't so nervous.


We were having yet another great Disney day, and had another party to attend. DS decides he can stay for a little while, Hooray! 

I call Brother and told him it was safe now and we are getting ready to head to the MNSSHP. He said they aren't going. I had some smart comment about when he had time, maybe he could come to Maine and pay us a visit. He saw the humor in it.


We start to head out of the Epcot and EM nearly has a nervous breakdown, because we are finally headed for the monorail.
