As opposed to being wrapped around her finger. The car is in her hand but me, yeah I am most assuredly wrapped around her finger. What can I say I’m a big mush when it comes to that kid.

Long day, the big project at work is coming along. So many things to think about and people to coordinate. I like it but at the same time I feel stifled because of all the approvals that have to take place and the things that should be done immediately because they can be are taking a long time and the things that require real effort are happening quick. It is weird, exciting and fun all at the same time. Although today I had to send an e-mail to every single person in the company from the top on down. I had a feeling of nausea when I pushed send. I’m not even going to look at my e-mail from work until tomorrow. It is best that way.

Yes IZEAFest 2009 is at SeaWorld the home of the Dolphin Bubbles blog. Also a great place for families to go. The hotel for the event has been announced and the rate is $99 a night, that is awesome. I booked a room at the Renaissance SeaWorld for Allison and I and Eva and then used my points to book a room for Auntie Mo. I was going to try and book both rooms with points but didn’t have enough points. So I thought about buying points. Buying points would have cost more than just renting the room. So crazy. But it is worth it for Mo to have time with Eva and also for our piece of mind, we know Eva is with someone we trust. Also we know how much Eva loves Mo and how much Mo loves Eva.

I also booked a Character Breakfast at The Magic Kingdom in the Crystal Palace. It is a Winnie the Pooh Themed Character Breakfast. We are doing that May 15th. It should be a great time.

Sweet Deals from Dairy Queen

I just love watching this kid have such a great time. The 1st trip to Dairy Queen was such a fun time! I hope she has great memories of Dairy Queen as I do.

All mine
Eva’s 1st Dairy Queen ice cream cone.

I’ve been a fan of Dairy Queen ever since I was in Little League and after every game, win or lose the team would go for ice cream cones or DQ specialty items like Dilly Bars. I imagine that this would get expensive for our coaches but they were great and continued to take us after every game. My absolute favorite thing at Dairy Queen is Crunch Coat. Crunch Coat is basically an awesome, crunchy, nutty, rainbow-sprinkled ice cream topping. It is the best topping to a cone ever. Sort of a peanut brittle and jimmies, shots, sprinkles (depending upon region of the US) combination that I would always get on my cone. Most kids went for the cherry dip or chocolate dip cone. Not me, it was twist with Crunch Coat all the way!

I want the big one!
Eva wants Crunch coat.

Dairy Queen has just announced their first-ever permanent value-menu. It is called DQ® Sweet Deals.

What is so sweet about this deal. Well, you can mix and match from nine menu items. You can choose two items for $3, three for $4 or four for $5. The options work out to over 20,000 incredible taste combinations.

Here are the nine tasty items: Dairy Queen® cheeseburger, classic all-beef hot dog, new chicken wrap, yummy French fries, crispy onion rings, fresh salad, beverage and an irresistible sundae or cone made with the signature DQ soft serve with the curl on top.

This stuff is GREAT!

How did I learn about this? I saw it on the Dairy Queen Blog. Yes, that delicious DQ ice cream has a blog. I learned about it too late because all the gift cards have been given out. Sheesh, late to the tasty table.

However, the Dairy Queen Blog is still offering a great prize for the best blog post. Well once they see Eva enjoying her 1st Dairy Queen dipped cone then they need to pick this post. Because this kids really loves her Dairy Queen.
