CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HAPPY HAUNTS AND TO UBERGEEK, NIRVANAMAN, BABETTE AND RALpH WIGGUM! (and special Kudoos to Babette for making it through with HER injuries!!!)

First AND Second righ here, folks! I wish I remember who else won, I was so content to sis on the side of the stage and roar.

I am looking forward to the official results to come out. I am dying to know where we were. Sheila hinted were were up there in standing - which for me in my physical condition - would make me incredibly happy.

EVERY muscle in my lower body hurts today (ummmm time for 4 more Advil), but, for me, my big personal success was keeping up with the group and finishing. AVP told me at Innoventions that, if I needed to drop out, now was the time. We discussed it, and I was still working hard and doing fine. It wasn't until the last 1/2 hour that I really started to lag and hurt. Thanks, my son, for pulling me along and providing encouragement!) So, for me, I feel successful in just finishing it ALL. We took one hit on a quest and had to get a time-costing piece of advice. The locker quest is what really screwed us up. But, otherwise, we did it all.

Oh, and, as is tradition, we didn't get spirit/costume award. LOL I think I'd throw up if we ever did. It's just one of those things that have eluded us for YEARS. It's doesn't matter. We like being snappy dressers while running around like crazy in the park.

The walk to the GC was like that old diarrhea billboard that was on the 5 (near the Citadel)for YEARS............The Last Mile is the Longest. I actually had to almost fight someone for the couch, but I was so not moving that I was probably doing one of the smiling but rudr things. I'm am so sorry, lady - I'm really not like that. But, our hours of lounging did me good. Oh yeah.

It was GREAT to see everyone who we only see twice a year. I really do LOVE this event - even though it kills me sometimes. We've won or placed enough to know that, winning is fun, but playing is better.

Alex or Sheila, if you're reading this, please send our love and thanks to the entire staff at MousePlanet. You guys are the best and put on the BEST game in the Disney Universe!!!!! (Extra smilies for Alex )

Thank goodness we won something!!! We were told twice that we were on the verge of being eliminated, but we just kept trudging along, and we made it to the end. (And we weren't last!) We were walking out to the parking structure seriously contemplating opening the "sudden death" envelope, but we were somehow able to make it back to the locker in the nick of time to get the clue. And then we got to the HoJo hotel and almost got swept up there, but managed to get back on the road with minutes to spare again. My poor teammates were limping by that point and I volunteered to run in for the team, but they were determined to get to the last check in, and so we dragged ourselves up to Fowler's to the finish.

Luckily we got the Toontown thing right away, knew the answer to the Pooh question, and Grumpy4 and mamabot had already scoped out that collage wall the week before, so they were crossing items off the list before we even went inside the DLH. That saved us some serious time, or we never would have made it. (And I publicly admit that it was my mistake that caused us to screw up the postcard thing )

I'm still tired today. More coffee please!
