So disney was great but the highlight of my trip was star wars weekend. I had never been and while i have been a fan of the movies, the past year or so i have really got into the whole universe and such reading comics and books. {the new jedi order made me cry with the chewy story line]. I wasn't able to get any of the fast past tickets to see the actors or go to the q&a with them later on but i still enjoyed it and i got photos with all my favorite sith guys [couldn't find obi-wan]. I also spent a small fortune in the tusken traders shop after we rode the star wars ride at the holywood studios. my obi-wan lightsaber rocks. I really want to go back next year, but that will have to be something I will have to pay for and trips to disney can be very expensive. I wish that i had bought a vader saber and a jedi cloak too but i couldn't be spending that much money. Other than starwars disney was fun and the food was great but the weather was really odd. We were rained out for the first three days, and then it was sweltering heat on the fourth, and rainy one our last day. It rained so bad at holywood studios one night that the drain covers were actually popping up and down in the flooded streets.www.flickr.com/photos/hybridfaerie has photos from my trip

It started to lighting and thunder last night and then the sky opened up and let the hail fall. And were not talking normal size hail for colorado like little balls, were talking almost golf ball size and gale force winds. It ripped tree limbs and leaves, covering our yards in debris. It also managed to destroy my garden, i think the only thing that will be saved are my herbs and such. which is very sad for me considering i had tomatoes, spagetti squash, strawberries, onions, bell peppers, okra, raddish, corn, and my herbs [spearmint, basil, dill, rosemarry and sage].

i couldn't clean all that up until i had finished cleaning the carpets and my mom's room at the school we work at. The place that they moved her was flooded and the carpets were soaked with standing water, all her furniture and books got wet, and some of her classroom materials were ruined.

So basically i cleaned carpets, moved furniture, and then proceded to rake both front and back yards and pack up at least 18 bags of leaves. i'm tired and tomarrow i get to take the kids from my work to the pool...blalalshshshgghgh.
