someday at christmas...

...christmas '09 checklist...



  • "accidentally" fracture foot three days before we leave so i have to wear a stinky old boot around.

  • as part two of said "foot fracture" operation, get wheeled around disneyland by my loving family.

  • get pictures by/of my fave alice in wonderland-themed spots.











  • get brothers to win me loads of stuffed treasures on the boardwalk.



  • ride dumbo!



  • watch fireworks on christmas eve.... and get snowed on!







  • get "unique" photos of disney.

(yup, counting myself as a unique photo...)

















  • get a good seat for the electrical parade.

  • get ignored by nearly everyone because nobody listens to me when i am so low to the ground.


  • solidify invisibilty theory when i am "ran over" by baby toting female (who looks a bit like jennifer lopez to me) and huge black man.


  • laugh uncontrolably when i realize that "baby toting female" is in fact jennifer lopez, and "huge black man" is her bodyguard.


  • four celebrity sightings at christmas dinner, including j. lo, marc anthony, leah remini, and taboo from the black eyed peas, the only one that i had the courage to get a picture with (by "get a picture", i mean follow him out of the restaurant and down the hall, evesdropping on his conversation to make sure he wasn't going to punch me in the face when i asked for said picture.)






  • annoy everyone with "operation: foot fracture".

  • purchase (i.e. talk mum into purchasing) gorgeous black coat, wear around for the next three days.
  • confused by the compliment given to me at breakfast from my brother in regards to my new jacket ("you're looking very derelict today"). what i thought he meant: "that new jacket is smashing on you!" what he actually meant "you look like a homeless person"

  • google "derelict" via cell phone. find, "a person abandoned by society, esp. a person without a permanent home and means of support; vagrant; bum".

  • try not to hunch over so much in my wheelchair, so as not to confirm my homeless status to anyone.

  • go to build-a-bear in downtown disney and build an owl. name him "owlvin".

  • overdose on mickey pretzels and cheese. slip soundly into food coma and die in the happiest place on earth.

  • ....or not.

  • buy year round pass to disneyland as present to myself, plan on going once a month for an entire year.

  • ...or not.
