On Saturday, Ruel let me out of the house (laughs!) to go and meet with friends for lunch. Kellee and I had met a few times over the last year, but it has been more than two years since I saw Tina. It was so wonderful to get back together. We ate at a restaurant in Moss Park called Carreira's. Very good Italian food. As a matter of fact Ruel finished my Calzone this morning for breakfast.
Following lunch, I came home and talked to Ruel about going out to Walt Disney World's Polynesian Resort to attend their nightly luau show. I'd heard good things, and figured we'd both enjoy being out and having some good food. Well...
Upon arrival they said that the show was pretty booked but we could go on the wait list. So we trudged out ot the area which had been set up to look a lot like Survivor! It started to drizzle, the drizzle became a steady rain, and finally the heavens opened up. "Never fear!" said the perpetually upbeat cast members. "Unless there is a lot of lightning and the storm does not pass, the show will go on!" We waited, the rain continued to pound. Suddenly lightning, followed by close thunder shook the little hut we were under. Everyone looked around nervously. It was raining so hard that the drains could not keep up and we were standing in water most places. It was relentless. Finally, the announcement, "We're sorry, but tonight's show has been cancelled." So much for luau. Not to be disuaded in my foray to have a fun Disney evening, I told Ruel, "let's go inside and eat at one of the other restaurants." We walk back in the still pouring rain. All of the restaurants are packed, we wait to find out how long before we could seat. Another prepetually upbeat cast member asks, "anyone not on the wait list yet?" Thinking this is our chance to snag a small table, I raise my hand and say, "yes, us!" To which he smiled, and said, "we are not taking any more people for tonight's dinner service. And so it went for the other restaurants. Next we take the monorail...I will have a Disney evening by golly. It is packed with wet people. I know not where they came from. We stop next at the contemporary. Same scenario, no more for tonight's service. We couldn't even get in to Chef Mickey's which was a BUFFET! I was getting perturbed, hungry and tired, not a good combination. It was only on the return trip to the Poly that I figured out what might have contributed to a packed evening at all of the hotels; it was Memorial Day weekend! I looked over at Ruel and told him I would've never ventured to tourism mecca had I realized it was a holiday weekend. We decided to leave and just get food somewhere along Semoran. It ended up being Tony Roma's and was quite good. So went our attempt at an evening out.
Here is a picture or two and an update of my pregnancy:
I'm now 30 weeks and 3 days along

Kaycee, You look so great! Thanks for sharing your stories and photos with us. I'm impressed you made it through all of that at on Saturday. It's hard being pregnant. Weren't you starving?!
Hungry, tired, and oh, by the way, pregnant...yeah, not a good combo at all! I'm sorry you weren't able to make the Luau. That idea sounded fun. Well, you have 10 more weeks to fit that in before it becomes really hard to do when Christina arrives. Make sure you do it soon! You're looking great..don't even look 30 weeks pregnant. Don't forget to post those photos of the nursery...after all, Ruel did put in a lot of work in it, right? Take care of yourself!
Love,
Susie
