Monday Blues

Now that the very busy weekend is through, we can start looking forward to the next busy weekend.

We had my birthday on Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday. Next weekend we have a 9th birthday party that should trump all other 9th birthday parties that have ever come before it. It has been billed as "The Last Single Digit Birthday" and it should be a great time.

The weekend after that the kid's dad is getting married. That should be another good time. I am really looking forward to seeing a certain junior bridesmaid and a certain junior usher in action again. Last year during our wedding we were a little busy and didn't have as much time to beam over the kids as we would have liked (you know, with the whole getting married thing) but this time we'll be able to pay closer attention to how awesome they are.

At some point after that there is that whole trip to Disney World thing that we sort of have to muddle our way through. (did you spot the sarcasm?)

Last weekend we put together our list of must-see things in the Magic Kingdom. Yesterday we voted on the list for Epcot Center. Again, this is not a binding resolution, and it does not include Nana and Papa's picks, but here is the list as it stands right now:

Must-sees:
Soarin
The Seas with Nemo and Friends
Test Track
Spaceship Earth
World Showcase (including Kim Possible adventure)
Illuminations

Nice to See:
Mission: Space
Circle of Life

In addition to our already planned stops during our fabulous Florida/Disney vacation, Jen also managed to snag us some seats for Chef Mickey's.

We knew Mickey was a great actor, but the mouse can cook too!

As for the coming week... Bruins. Damn it.

They have three chances to beat Philadelphia one time. They must win. They must. They cannot let Philly back into this and run the risk of being the fourth team in major professional sports history to blow a 3-0 series lead. It's happened in hockey twice before. The most recent time was in baseball when the glorious Boston Red Sox came back from 3-0 to beat the evil, vile, hated New York Yankees in 2004. (note how I am not mentioning the Sox/Yanks games from Friday or Saturday. I'm making a big wide detour around those two games, thank you very much.) The Bruins must win the series. They cannot go down in as the next '04 Yankees.

Game five is tonight in Boston. Win it tonight Bruins. Please, win it tonight.

Go Bruins!
Go Mickey Mouse!
Go Bruins!
