I think Matt Haig is a brilliant writer and I really enjoyed this book. It is the story of an alien from another planet in a far away galaxy who comes to earth on assignment. It is not so much a fresh look at what it means to be human as a comforting look. And the writing is so, so good.
I also recently read:
This book is also essential about what it is to be human. It's about a family of vampires trying to pass as ordinary people in the neighborhood. I am long over my vampire fascination, but I enjoyed this book a lot.
This is historical fiction based on the story of Anna Eliza Young, a wife of Brigham Young who ended up campaigning for an end to polygamy interwoven with a modern day murder mystery that takes place on an isolated compound where polygamy is still in practice. Interesting, although I thought it bogged down at times.

Showing 14 Results for Mike Krzyzewski
The 12 Best Teams That Didn't Win the NCAA Tournament
Not every great college basketball team wins the NCAA tournament. Some incredible college teams have suffered heartbreaking losses only to win the NCAA tournament title the following year (1973 North Carolina State, 1975 Indiana, 1982 Georgetown). Other championship teams have lost in an attempt at repeating (1961 Ohio State, 1985 Georgetown, 1991 UNLV, 1997 Kentucky).
Here are the 12 best teams that failed to win the NCAA tournament:

McGookin is my maternal grandparents' name. As my only uncle (from that side) had but one girl, the name is not making it to another generation. At least it can live on on my beers.
The traditional crest features a row of cocks (the avian sort) and the first brew I actually labelled was called Cock's Comb, so the logo became a rooster holding a pilsner glass. It's ended up on my labels and my homemade tap handle.
Write drunk; edit sober. - EH
I have started to think of a name, but I'm not real good at that sort of thing.
Does "Bibendum Bier Werks" sound alright? The idea"came" to me while watching a movie. Anyone care to guess what movie?
Big Blue, that is awesome. We have a farm named "Stewart's Run" which is named after one of our roosters. The logo features a picture of Stewart. Pretty cool to be able to use the actual family crest on your beers.
Brew Pedaler Aleworks
Started brewing this past summer and at the time I got started my dad was killed in a auto accident, my brother n I were at the brew shop that day now that I think about it, but I committed to at least doing one batch to him and now almost 7 months later I had done close to 7 batches and have moved up to AG,
"Papa Doc Brewery" is the name, for in the neighborhood we grew up in we just called our fathers papa doc, why, no friggin clue lol but it's a tribute and every batch has gotten better, and the motto on the labels " the times we had, and the good ones to come"
"Why must it always be pandemonium?" - George Mueller/Nelson Van Alden

We have a neighbor that thinks our dogs bark too much. One is a German Shepherd mix and has the Shepherdnattitude,map yes he barks at people in front of the house. Well the neighbor called county animal control and they that our dog wasn't a problem barker. The neighbor stated he would take care of problem himself and the county went nuts, ESP since he is a county employee.
Hence the name "Barking Dog Brewing"
Keep Calm and Chive On
My most obvious feature is that I have a massive head - the barely able to find a hat to fit kind of head and sure to make children that will be born C-section. So it seemed obvious, "Big Dome Brew." I figured that the reputation isn't leaving, so I might as well go with it.

Herb seeds and when to start them???
I was wondering what the best way to go about getting some seeds and the time of year to start them??
You sir should look in to the Herbs forum
Brendon, Were you raised by trailor trash? Or just no manners? Why don't you go grow up a little bit. Maybe GW will start a forum on proper forum etiquette just for you,tho actually a simple course in manners would do you in good stead.
Would'nt it have been better in everyway to simply say; "Ramony,The herb forum is a better place to find information on growing herbs and finding seeds." That way Brendon, You don't look like a foolish jerk or a little boy having a temper tantrum.You would have looked like a man.
A little manners goes a long way in this world.It comes down to being acceptable or not.
Brendon, I do thank you for your thoughtful reply. For someone like me who has never posted in forums such as these, you are being very receptive despite my ignorance on etiquette. I do hope I come across more people in these forums that are willing to share such deep knowledge. Oh and by the way speaking of etiquette, you made a little assumption there with the word "Sir", I am a young woman. To all a good day, and I will go look through the herb forum for answers.
Among sources for medicinal herbs, Richter's in Canada is probably the best known, but less conventional general seed houses like J.L. Hudson offer interesting regional and foreign natives. Both have online ordering.
You can start seed of warm-climate herbs any time of year if you have good light to grow them on. Some of the varieties native to colder regions need stratification (a couple months or more of cold treatment) to germinate, and don't do well in warm indoor conditions over the winter.
Here is a link that might be useful: J.L. Hudson
Heading to the Herbs forum was a good bit of advice since the whole gamut of growing, harvesting, and using is covered there. What you may wish to do is ask about the specific types of herbs you are interested in growing. There are literally thousands of "herbs" and knowing which ones you are looking for information on will help people to give you some information you can really use.
To get you started, here are some vendors that carry herb seed and/or plants:
Horizon Herbs
Nichols Garden Nursery
Pinetree Seeds
Johnny Seeds
These folks have a good selection of medicinal herb seeds. Organic, too.

Even Boulder Struggles with its Carbon Footprint
From the Wall Street journal, an article about how Boulder, despite heroic efforts in reducing the carbon footprint of its built environment, has only reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 1%.
Turns out it's very hard to spur people to action, even when the city tries to remove as many barriers as possible, including cost.
A statement like that would give even No Impact Man pause. But Boulder officials aren't giving up yet.
And the Boulder example has wider ramifications.
Aye, there's the rub. And so President Obama has announced a major new funding initiative for nuclear power. That story has a local edge to it for me - the initiative will fund two new plants built by our own Southern Company in Burke County, Georgia (home to Georgia Power's Plant Vogtle). There's sure to be more reaction to that - stay tuned.
In the meantime, what's happening in your own jurisdiction? It is a struggle to change individual behavior at a scale to do broader good. It's the age old question of individual action vs. collective action, and how to make it all matter.
Thanks to Anthony Flint at the Lincoln Institute for the heads' up about this story, through their e-mail newsletter.
Jamie Baker Roskie
Follow up - here's an article from the NYTimes about environmentalists' response to Obama's proposal to fund the nuclear power plants.
Update two - Friends of the Earth are protesting Obama's visit to Savannah today (March 2, 2010).
People is being aware now than ever that we need greener energy sources. You can see mass movement around the world about this topic. I guess is mother nature claiming its earth back.

Relax. Steve Jobs is not dead even though you might have read his obituary yesterday on Bloomberg.

Apple issued a stern warning yesterday to cult members that they may "permanently damage" their cell phone/iPod combos by using "unlocking programs" in an effort to get the Cadillac of mobiles to work on unauthorized, non-AT&T networks.

P.S. They Announced The iPhone
John Heilemann's reasoning for why Steve Jobs won't be taken down for backdating, offered in this week's New York Magazine, is three-fold. 1. Jobs makes Apple a lot of money. 2.

New Location for Vegan Pizza in Farmingdale, NY
Popular New York pizza joint 3 Brothers Pizza Cafe offers a vegan menu and cruelty-free brunch.
New York's 3 Brothers Pizza Cafe was recognized by animal-welfare organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in 2011 for its tasty cruelty-free pizza, and now Farmingdale residents can enjoy meatless pies and brunch by vegan chef Jay Astafa at the new location on Merritts Road. The original 3 Brothers was on Long Island before father-and-son duo Andy and Jay sold it. The new menu includes fan favorites Seitan Bacon Ranch Pie, orecchiette with broccoli rabe and Italian seitan sausage, and calamari made with oyster mushrooms. While the eatery isn't entirely plant-based, Jay announced plans to open a vegan pop-up restaurant, Jay Kitchen, in late April via Facebook.

Protecting Pennsylvania's valuable and high quality aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems begins by monitoring the headwaters to the state's major rivers, the rivers that flow from small headwater streams found on state forests, state park lands, and private hunting and fishing club lands--the large contiguous intact forests that provide abundant hunting, angling and recreational opportunities, and the very areas that are being targeted for gas development. To protect these areas, Trout Unlimited and its Pennsylvania Council (collectively "TU") have built a state-wide network of volunteer stewards to monitor high quality streams and conduct visual reconnaissance in watersheds that are most vulnerable to the impacts of gas development. For more information on the program please contact Jake Lemon, Eastern Shale Gas Monitoring Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Access "VMware data protection: An overview of how it works"
This article is part of the June 2012 issue of Data protection: Preparing for new EU regulations
If you are set to embark on review of VMware data protection options, there are a couple of areas you need to consider before approaching management with new plans. Primarily, you have to recognise server virtualisation fundamentally challenges the old ways of protecting data. As you probably know, virtual machines (VMs) are encapsulated into a series of discrete files called "virtual disks." These are presented to the operating system within the VM as if they were physical, but they are in fact files that reside in the virtualisation vendor's chosen file system. As they are just files, they can be copied around the network in archive format, which introduces a whole new way of backing up without the need for in-guest backup agents. This can be extremely advantageous because most legacy backup vendors that historically backed up physical servers charge on a per-agent licensing system. In addition, virtualisation has had a big positive influence on other data protection schemes, such as replication and snapshots. Backup It is fair to say that VM backup in ... Access >>>

TSMC is the Intel to a smartphone world that's growing 30% to 40% a year while the PC market is stagnant," he says.
TSMC-made chips enable smartphone and tablet makers to penetrate emerging markets with affordable models.

Another big plus: Because of their legal battles over patents, Apple (AAPL) is cutting its reliance on Samsung (5390.Korea) for chips. TSMC has been working on a new Apple chip for over a year and Apple-designed chips could start rolling out from TSMC's fabrication plants early next year. If Apple gives TSMC all its business, the contract could account for nearly 20% of the foundry giant's sales. That "makes the difference between TSMC growing at 10% a year or 20% a year over the next three years," says Abrams. Chip makers generally are growing at about 3% annually and fabricators at 7%.
Investors are on to TSMC's potential, but there is still some room for the shares to gain. The stock has risen 39% over the past year and trades at 14 times this year's earnings. After reporting $17 billion in revenue last year, TSMC is expected to top $20 billion this year and $24 billion next. Earnings are projected to rise 11% this year to $6.2 billion and jump 26% next. CLSA's Lu has a price target of 20 New Taiwan dollars ($4.05) on the shares, 16% above last week's level. HSBC's Paleyo foresees a 10.5% gain.
TSMC is so successful that Samsung and Intel are trying to push into its market. But being a pure-play chip maker that doesn't design its own wares or make other products gives TSMC advantages. Samsung, a huge producer of smartphones and tablets, has to overcome a lot of conflicts to win chip business from rivals. Intel has its own issues with rival ARM Holdings ARMH -0.5847953216374269% ARM Holdings PLC ADS U.S.: Nasdaq USD49.3 -0.29 -0.5847953216374269% /Date(1427835600318-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2808255 AFTER HOURS USD50 0.7 1.4198782961460445% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 35300 P/E Ratio 55.287652798026244 Market Cap 23110454001.4684 Dividend Yield 0.8426937119675456% Rev. per Employee 397470 More quote details and news » (ARMH) whose designs power most mobile processors, although ARM doesn't make its own chips. "How much does Intel want to help ARM by manufacturing their chips?" asks Abrams.
There are worries about TSMC's margins given its 40% capital expenditure-to-sales ratio and big depreciation costs on its new $5 billion factories. So far, so good. Last year it produced a 48.6% gross margin, above its typical 48% rate. Clearly, "TSMC has shown that it can pass through higher costs because of its technology leadership," Pelayo says. That's a lot like Apple and Samsung.

The musical entertainment at the Festival justifies the ticket price on its own. Throughout each day in the Richard Whiteley Pavilion, with a break only for the speakers, trad jazz alternates with Dales brass bands. Yorkshire is famous for its brass band tradition, maintained at a high standard by the bands from Muker, Reeth and Leyburn.
Each day a traditional dancing troupe will also perform in between the bands for your entertainment.
Step This Way Appalachian Cloggers and The Bones Creek Band have been performing songs, steps and tunes from the Appalachian mountains of America for the past 11years. The tunes and steps were taken to America from England, Ireland and Scotland in the 1800s with the early settlers, they were blended with Native American and African rhythms and this creates the lively mix which can be seen today.

Colorado State right-side hitter Adrianna Culbert earned her second Mountain West Volleyball Player of the Week award on Monday. She averaged 2.25 kills on .500 hitting, 3.38 digs and 0.88 blocks in two road wins.
Nov. 4, 2013
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado State right-side hitter Adrianna Culbert earned her second Mountain West Volleyball Player of the Week award on Monday. She is the only player this season to earn the honor twice.
Culbert, a sophomore from Delton, Mich., averaged 2.25 kills per set on .500 hitting in two road wins over the weekend, in addition to 3.38 digs and 0.88 blocks per set.
On Saturday, in a come-from-behind victory at Utah State to set the program record for wins to start a season (21), Culbert had 12 kills on .522 efficiency. She did not make an error in 23 attacks. Additionally, she added a career-high-tying 17 digs and a season-best six blocks.
After the match, Head Coach Tom Hilbert praised her, "I thought Dri Culbert was really good. She was steady for us. They were serving her, and she was passing well, she had 12 kills . . . she was great for us."
After dropping the first two sets at Utah State, the Rams responded with a pair of set wins to tie the match at 2-2. During that period, Culbert had eight kills on 13 attempts and 12 digs. She also served well, recording an ace and starting a pair of CSU runs while behind the line.
Culbert had two blocks in the deciding fifth set to earn the victory. It marked the first time since Nov. 10, 2000 that CSU has overcome a two-set deficit in a true road match.
Despite a 21-0 start to the season, the award is CSU's first since Sept. 23, in large part because of the team's incredible balance. In Saturday's victory, four players were in double-figures for kills, four had at least 15 digs and five recorded five or more blocks.
CSU is one of two undefeated teams in the nation. The Rams travel to Laramie, Wyo., on Tuesday to face Border War rival Wyoming (7 p.m.), followed by a home contest Saturday vs. Nevada (7:30 p.m.). A pair of victories would tie for CSU's longest-ever win streak (23).
Tickets for Saturday's match can be purchased online, over the phone at 1-800-491-RAMS or at the McGraw Athletic Center ticket office. Both matches will be streamed on the Mountain West Network.

This spoon shows Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf on the end. The picture is early and very detailed. This spoon is made from stamped steel. It is 3" long x 5/8" wide x 1/4" deep. I have 2 of these spoons that are $22.00 each. If it matters to you, spoon #1 is in pictures 1-3. Spoon #2 is in pictures 4-7.
These spoons were played with. The finish is still quite nice. There is a bit of spotting on the bowl of the second spoon that can be seen in the close up picture. There are some scratches.

"Marijuana, under federal law, is a more serious narcotic than crack cocaine," said Reuven Cohen, another of Lynch's lawyers. In March 2007, federal authorities raided his home and small business in southern California.
"I hear the banging of my front door," Lynch recalled. "I opened the door and about 10 to 15 agents with shields, bullet-proof vests, guns, masks, they came barreling in."
Drug Enforcement Administration agents seized 30 pounds of marijuana from Lynch's business.
Lynch was hauled into federal court, which meant that his attorneys could not even mention the state law that permits the use of medical marijuana. They also weren't allowed to mention that Lynch's dispensary had helped people like Beck.
"It just seems so unfair what they've done to me," Lynch said. "They put the fear of 'gov,' I call that instead of the fear of God, fear of government into people."
Lynch was convicted and sentenced to one year and one day in prison.
"They don't come down on the state legislatures that gave us these laws," Lynch said. "They don't come down on the city officials that let me operate the dispensary. They come down on the little guy. Me."

I couldn't post at all this week because I had .....
For the past 5 summers I have been doing a week long musical theater camp called Camp Broadway. It's a NYC based company that travels the country all summer giving theatre loving kids in different cities the opportunity to get a taste of what it's like to be in the business. Among other programs and things they do throughout the year. It's an incredible program and I'm so sad this was my last year I've learned so much from them and made such incredible friends!
(This is how I met one of my best friends, Ellen, who introduced me to Jess [the Frump ] over facebook! Small World, huh?
On top of ALL THAT, Thursday was my 17th Birthday!!!! I celebrated in true Disney fashion.
I Even Got Mickey Mouse cupcakes made for me!!!! my friends know me so well...
It was full of wonderful people and a great day at camp doing what I love.
After camp, Ellen and I, along with our other friend Nick, went out to TGI Friday's for a birthday dinner that I will never ever forget. it was the greatest birthday I've had so far.
Camp was incredible. My Birthday was incredible. And I wish both could have lasted longer

Up And At 'Em!
Do you have an iPhone? No? Do you know someone with an iPhone? hmm... Well... you must know what the iPhone default ringtone sounds like! No? Well, for those of you who don't, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkuN9JDelVU
Listened to it?
So now you know how annoying it is!!
Imagine your reaction to that noise blasting in your ear (literally) at around 3:30am? Pleasant? I think not.
Thankfully, I quickly remembered that the alarm did not mean just another early morning wake up call.
I Meant TODAY WAS DISNEY DAY!!
Once I realized what day it was, I was up and out of bed before I could say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I was the first of my family members to hop in the shower (as I take the longest to get ready -___-) and once I was clean and awake, I finished up my packing while the rest of the family showered.
My brothers were also going to the airport that morning for a 7am flight to florida to see my grandparents while my Mom and I went for my audition. So it was a bit of a scramble out of the house!
Once I had packed my electronics and makeup and last minute morning items, I got dressed. I threw on leggings, my bambi tshirt, a sweater, and a scarf (just in case!) I knew once we got to our resort we would change for the parks, so my main concern was Plane comfort
We all finished getting ready, piled into the car, and Dad drove us to the airport.
If I had to choose one favorite instance in my whole life, it was that drive to the airport. It was just close to 5am, the streets were completely empty, and the streetlights reflected of the roads. I had that 5 year old's feeling that I was going to Disney, and I would be there in only a matter of hours. All those enchanting feelings rushed over me as we made the 20 or so minute drive to the airport.
When we arrived, Dad dropped us at the entrance, and since none of us were checking bags, we went straight in and to security check. (After hugging Dad goodbye of course!)
Security went quickly, and before we knew it we were parting ways with my brothers and heading to our gate. Mom asked me if I wanted any breakfast, but I couldn't eat due to my level of excitement! And I wanted my first meal of the day to be Disney food!!
When we got to our gate, we ran into the parents of my Brother's best friend, Mr & Mrs. Best, who happen to be very good family friends. They were on our Flight! (running into people is a theme of this trip!) we chatted with them, and called my brother to come over, for a while. They asked all about my audition, and I told them what little I knew about it. They said they were sure I'd be perfect for it, and wished me luck. Before we knew it, it was time to board!! Jojo and John went back to their own gate, and Mom and I waited to board the plane.
We got to our seats, and time went so quickly!!!! We took off, I threw on my ipod full of Disney music, and it seemed like only a few songs went by before we heard the pilot say we were arriving early!
Welcome to Orlando!
My heart was racing so fast!!! I couldn't believe we were finally here! I had been waiting for so long! It was unreal!
We hopped off the plane, said goodbye to The Best's, and headed off into the airport.
Then we got lost.
We didn't have any luggage checked, but we were meeting our driver (yes, we do not take the Magical Express, my parents are spoiled, we always get a driver) by the luggage claim. But We Had NO idea how to get there. Apparently we're bad sign readers. LONG STORY SHORT: we eventually found it, but then had to call and tell our driver where we were since he was lost too Once we saw the man with the "TANTILLO" sign (which my mom kept as a memento...) we knew we had made it!
He led us to the car, which was huge and beautiful and air conditioned, and we were on our way!
I have to say, this Driver was sooooo handsome! I was all a flutter! mostly from excitement...but whatever. He kept telling us about how wonderful Orlando is, and all the good reasons to live there, and things to do, and how nice the people are, and it was getting me so excited that I was trying to spend the summer working down there! My emotions were building up!
And then it hit me.... it was up ahead... I was so emotional I have zero pictures... It was the entrance archway.
My whole heart flooded over as we approached that line between fantasy and reality.
I closed my eyes, made a wish, and we crossed over onto Disney Property.
Next Chapter
A Magical Beginning
I couldn't believe it! I Was in DISNEY!
It had been TWO YEARS!
I watched in amazement as we passed Disney buses, and signs leading to various resorts and parks, but I knew which one to look out for.
Those beautiful Magic Kingdom signs.
And the one and only Magic Kingdom archway!
We passed under it and i felt another heart attack coming on.
I was in literal tears the whole drive. I couldn't help it!
Before long, We had finally reached out destination.
We pulled into the long driveway of the Grand Floridian and I took a deep breath. The view was incredible. The buildings there are just so flawless and beautiful. AND THE SMELL! I could already smell it as we were getting closer to the main entrance!
I was holding my breath as we pulled up to the doors!
The bellhop opened the door of the car and I let out a sigh.
I was home.
I jumped out of the car, and went around to grab my bag.
Of course, someone had already retrieved my bag and was ready to bring it inside for me.
My mom and I were in awe, we had forgotten just how perfect this place was!
We said thank you and goodbye to our driver and turned around to face our home for the next 3 days. And what a perfect home it was.
A Wonderful cast member, whose name I've forgotten since then, greeted us and led us to the front desk to check in. Along the way, he read our check in file he had and asked what my audition was all about. My parents had told them what I was there for when they booked the trip, and so everyone knew what I was doing. However, no one really knew anything about it! I explained what I was hoping to achieve with my audition and he wished me lots of luck and said I seemed like a great fit for the Disney family.
That made me so happy!
We had planned to store our bags once we checked in and head straight to the parks, thinking our room wouldn't be ready yet, But to our surprise, our room was ready early! And we could go to it right then! The man at the desk also wished me luck on my audition and gave me a "My Magical Triumph" pin! My mom and I headed off to our room to change and get the day going.
Our room was in the Big Pine Key building
It was sort of on the right side of the main lobby.
I had previously stayed at the Sugar Loaf building, which was RIGHT next to the dock to Magic Kingdom! which was awesome! But this was much closer to the main lobby, which was nice too!
We got to our room, and the smell hit me! If you've never been to the Grand Floridian, it's worth making a stop there just to take a big whiff! It's such a nice smell!! So clean and fresh and magical!
The room was beautiful and perfect for the two of us.
After I was done smelling the beds, I unpacked a few things and freshened up. I changed into my Pink shorts and my heart Toms and packed up my phone and my camera.
Of course I had to document...
I put on my pin and we headed back to the main lobby!
The pool was RIGHT outside our building! Super convenient!
Once we got back to the main lobby, we headed for the front desk.
Don't judge me for this, but it had been a while since I'd been to Disney, and I had forgotten how to get on the right monorail to EPCOT from GFla. So, we asked the woman at the desk, and she helped us out. We asked a few other questions regarding the location of my audition tomorrow, which she didn't really answer too well, but she tried. We thanked her, I grabbed a few park maps, and we headed upstairs to the monorail!
We admired all the lovely shops and went outside to wait or the monorail.
But not before taking a couple obligatory lobby pictures:
UGHHH So Gorgeous!
I could tell my mom was getting just as excited as I was! We joked and chatted until the monorail came.
We Were Ready To Go!
Next Chapter
The GF is just so gorgeous! I'm so excited to see what yall did in Epcot!
It looks almost as beautiful as it smells!!! The atmosphere there is unbelievable. Definitely one of my favorite places on the whole property.
A New Experience
As I mentioned at the very beginning of this trip report, this was a trip filled with New Experiences! The most basic of these being that this was the first time I had ever been to Disney without the whole family. It was just Mom and I! we didn't have to worry about anyone but ourselves! And we could do ONLY what WE wanted to do!
It proved to be a very wonderful way to travel.
We made our way through the monorails and traveled over to EPCOT for the afternoon. It was just before 12 when we arrived.
We had until about 4. We had dinner reservations at 6 in order to be done and back to MK and ready for the Parade at 9 and fireworks at 10. So in order to be showered and dressed and relaxed for dinner, we wanted to leave EPCOT around 4.
But until then...
The Flower and Garden festival was going on (ANOTHER NEW EXPERIENCE FOR US!) so our main EPCOT focus would be to walk around and see all the displays. We didn't want to worry about rides, or even going into all of the World Showcase pavilions (even though I've never fully walked through all of them) We wanted this just to be for us to relax, see the flowers, meet some characters (my favorite thing to do!) and ease into our little Disney trip.
And Boy, Where We Successful!
We did JUST what we wanted to!
By travelling just the two of us we avoided tantrums, and fighting for the most part. And we could just sort of...Go.
NATURALLY, we began at the front.
We took a while walking and examining the Fantasia flowers at the front.
We quite enjoyed being a bit silly
I'm in love with the Ostriches and with Disney Eyes...
This day just kept getting more magical by the second!
Once we realized we should probably move on to the actual park, we left the Fantasia display and headed to the next Flower display on the map. Well... On my iPhone. I used the Flower and Garden festival mobile website to pinpoint where all the flowers were and so we traveled accordingly. At least until we got to World Showcase.
We passed a few special touches on our way to find Coffee though...
We reached coffee and the festival center at the same time. And more Topiaries!
We stopped for a few moments to drink our coffees and pose with our new friends...
However, I'm not the most assertive person, and so I kept letting people take their pictures before we took ours... Mom didn't like that.
Next it was on to the Fairy Gardens to see Tinkerbell and her flower Friends!
But not before running into one of my favorite aliens...
I felt bad skipping over most of EPCOT, but I had a goal in mind, and I was hoping it wouldn't be too long before I made it back to WDW.

It's Contagious
Personally, I'm a big fan of the Tinkerbell franchise.
Granted, I haven't seen all of the movies yet, I like the idea. The couple ones I have seen we're definitely cute. And I love the books and the Park characters! Also, stickers. I have a Disney sticker obsession. Like, I have two books of 600, plus a pack of like 300 minis and it's really unhealthy. But there are always Fairy stickers for sale! So i like that...
The first fairy we encountered was Terrence:
I was enthusiastically explaining Terrence's fairy duties to my mother when a wonderful CM came over and complimented my knowledge. He asked if Terrence had smiled at me. I said I thought i saw that he did
The Cast member said He's usually pretty shy around the girls, to which I responded: "Not me! Never!"
Next up was Tink
And her friend Periwinkle
Mom said Periwinkle was a scraggly fairy. I don't think she liked her too much.
Although she was kinda scraggly.
I went over to see Fawn next.
And my picture turned out all orangey and cool!!
And Silvermist
Meanwhile, my mom had gone to talk to the Cast Member working on the Winter Woods part of the garden. Mom was asking about the process of getting all of the topiaries up in such a short time.
The CM told her it was a lot of overnight work, but it was also a lot of small contagious work.
Sort of like the set up for a Holiday: A Large part of the decorum goes up after hours when no guests are there. But a lot of it is gradual throughout the day. Little bits get put up at a time, so that maybe at the beginning of the day a bridge is just a bridge, but when you come back to it later, bit by bit, it has been turned into a snow-covered wonder bridge!
The next fairy was Vidia, My Favorite!!!!
Being the 'I-think-I'm-funny-but-sometimes-it-doesn't-translate' Dork that I am, I thought it would be a good Idea to sit down in front of Vidia and scowl for a picture. So I sat down, Criss-Cross-Applesauce, in the middle of the only walking passage to her area and waited for my mom to take a picture.
It didn't really go how I had hoped.
Mom couldn't get the camera right, and I tried to explain my plan to people, and then I laughed during my scowling picture and it was just a mess. But a FUN mess!
Unfortunately, the photo doesn't get the full effect of me blocking the path and people waiting on both sides
After that incident, we decided we should probably move on.
So I snapped a few more pictures of the rest of the gang, and we headed out.
I love this picture of Rosetta because I think the umbrellas in the back look like they're for her to protect her from the sun
The visit with the Fairy flowers had my Neverland Never Grow Up spirits in full blast. So I basically tipped overboard when I saw this:
I'm sitting writing this TR right now in my Peter Pan shirt and I'm basically crying because I know I'll have to grow up this year by applying and then going to college. But I know with Disney, I'll never really have to grow up.
But I digress...
If there were a high you could get from snorting pixie dust (I'm sure there is somewhere out there) that's what I felt like at this point of EPCOT.
And that photo is going on my Senior Page of my yearbook this year along with my Peter Pan, Walt Disney, etc. quotes.
We were finally to the front of World Showcase!!! We always start at Mexico and work our way clockwise. So we spent some time by the lagoon and at the Mickey & Friends topiaries before getting started.
Sun in my eyes...
Nothing could stop how happy I was right then and there.
Vamos A La Mexican Pavilion!
Next Chapter
Aww, it sounds like yall were having a magical time at Epcot!
The F&G Festival just amazes me! I've never seen it in person! You got some awesome pictures.
I know nothing about the different fairies but your 'scowling' picture made me laugh.
And btw, take it from me... you do NOT have to grow up when you go to college.
Yay for the Grand Floridian! I stayed there when I was 13 and I just remember being so in love with my room. We had Alice and Wonderland bedding and I slept on this sofa-bed type thing and it was RIDICULOUSLY comfortable. I really hope I get to go back someday.
The Flower and Garden Festival was so beautiful this year! I just wrote an update on it and I was reminiscing about it all. I loved it!
It was INCREDIBLE and It only gets BETTER!!! there are a few more surprises coming up
I was beyond excited when I realized it coincided with my trip. It was really something magical. I'm a flower lover as it is
hahaha I just wanted to be like Vidia!! She's so cool!
And yayyyy! It freaks me out! It'll be quite the adventure.
UghdasdgndgNDLGIURHGskdjs Everything about it is so perfect! I have too many dreams about it. I feel so blessed that I've been able to stay there twice already! it's such an experience. I hope you can soon!!
I just read your latest update with Norman Jr. ^_^ So cute. You and Kristen are too funny together.
The Flowers will definitely be something I have to see again very soon!
I'm joining in to read too - I lurk a lot but I love trip reports, so I'll be here reading! Your trip has a great back story, and my cousin was also in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade last year (he was with the Zhu Zhu Pets float), so I have to keep reading since you have a lot in common with some of my family members.

IT is often said that getting there is half the fun; never has this seemed more true than when travelling on the Indian Pacific, the iconic transcontinental rail journey from Perth to Sydney.
