Many of you know I just had my 30th birthday a few weeks ago. My husband totally suprised me with one of the nicest gifts ever.....a trip to Universal Studios for this long Holiday weekend. I am so excited! I'm like a kid in school looking forward to a school field trip. Time to act like a kid! Goof around, spend time alone with hubby...I can barely sit still. I am soooooo physced! See Flap, looks like our gentle prodding and teasing worked out! Between my parents and his mom the kids will be taken care for the whole weekend! WooHoo!!!!

Anyone been to Universal lately? Anything we just have to do or see in the area?

Now, more food for thought:

How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

What happens if you get scared half-to-death twice?

Should vegetarians eat animal crackers?

If you throw a cat out a car window, does it become kitty litter?

When it rains, why don't sheep shrink?

What's another word for thesaurus?

What would we have called the color orange if it wasn't a fruit?

After eating, do amphibians have to wait one hour before getting out of the water?

How can there be self-help "groups"?

If a mute swears, does his mother make him wash his hands with soap?

If someone has a mid-life crises while playing hide & seek, does he automatically lose because he can't find himself?

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Everyone have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Sounds like fun times! I'll be heading out that way near the end of June, we are heading out to Disney World. I'm a big kid too, so I will definitely be enjoying that! Pssst: your profile still says 29, you should update it... and quite trying to fight your age :p

I went to the Islands of Adventure, didn't make universal (too many other Disney parks to visit). But that was four years ago or so... (pre-children)

I've got season passes to both of them. You'll have a lot of fun Be sure to hit both parks...The Mummy ride at Universal Studios is fantastic. Don't bother riding Jaws until after dark...just a much different ride at that time. And don't ride the Dueling Dragons one after the other...bad times if you do.

Oh yeah, they're adding Blue Man Group to the Universal Studios now, too. Just behind Jimmy Newtron's ride in the old Nickelodeon Studios. That opens next month though, so I don't know when you're going to be heading there.

Me and my girlfriend went to Orlando about a month ago, went to Universal Studios.....if you like rollercoasters, one word......HULK.........Dueling Dragons is cool as well, and the Tower of Doom. Its all good, I want to go back. And to answer some of your questions: you never have ink in the first place, its all a scam, its not invisible!! If you get scared half to death twice, then you turn into a zombie not sure about vegatarians......I'm a vagitarian myself throwing cats out of car windows is just fun sheeps fur absorbs the rain like a sponge what would we have called the fruit, if it wernt orange? Amphibians have to wait a half hour before going on land after eating there are self help groups for people with multipersonalities,,,,trust me WE know If you leave a mute speechless.....what does he do? If you have a midlife crisis while playing hide and go seek, you gots some issues!!!! its not a hostage situation if a multipersonallity person tries to kill themself.....its called in the head population control PLANTS DONT HAVE EARS, ONLY CORN HAS EARS so sayeth The Sick One

I went to Universal about 13 years ago. I remember the Jurassic Park exhibit that had the actual triceratops from the movie, the Back to the Future ride, and the live action stunt show. I hope after 13 years it's much more modern than those :) Looking at Wikipedia it seems like the Back to the Future ride closes this year.

BTW happy birthday madwoman, I hope you guys have a blast. Never been to Universal in Orlando but I went to the one in California after my younger brothers wedding in L.A. I went with my 4 brothers 2 sister and a gaggle of nieces and nephews. The mummy ride made my 10 year old nephew cry (what a pansy). The best part though was when the girl dressed up as Xena threatened to beat the crap out of my brother Kurt because he wouldn't stop hitting on her. That was priceless.
