I live in Buffalo, NY. We haven't lived here long, but we absolutely love Western New York.

Obviously, I'm a lifelong Disney nut, and have been so since I think, 1976, when I was seven years old. I'm a former Cast Member and actually interviewed for, and was offered, another job with Disney last year, which I turned down. I'm a DVC member, Disney stock holder, D23 member, Disney pin collector, etc. I try to get involved in all Disney aspects, though, like most of you I'm sure, some things excite me more than others.

Other than Disney, my big passion is Italy and all things that involve Italy. The culture, the language, the people, the cuisine; I'm an honest to goodness Italophile. I have family there and I try to visit once every five years or so. I am fluent in the language, and am contemplating going back to school to graduate with a degree that would allow me to teach Italian.

Otherwise, I'm your average dude I guess. I like sports, movies, music and TV to an extent. I'm happily married with no kids, but two cats who are like kids to us!

I think I must have known you in a past life

Ha ha. You know, I'd been away from WDW for Grownups for a while, and when I came back the other day, I saw some of your posts. It took me about 2 seconds to realize it was you because of your writing style and sense of humor. Then of course when I saw that you posted about Holden and The Dave it removed all doubt.

I was going to write you to let you know it was me, I just wasn't sure if I should do it on here or on Facebook!

I guess there aren't many crazy southern girls with the sense of humor of a three year, a silly husband and an 8 month old posting on the boards are there?

How is Mrs. Imagineer?? Does she post here?

She has an account, and used to post here before, but hasn't in a while. Her name on here I think is DisneyLove. Let's try to get her posting again!

Stop!! I can't stand it, I haven't had a good wing in over 4 years!! The other thing we're lacking here in NC is good NYC Deli....I lived on Long Island for a couple of years too...nothing like a great Corned Beef Sandwich on Rye yuuuummmmm

You can get good NYC deli in NJ too - there's a place that just opened up near me that's fantastic.

Wings are another story. We just got a Buffalo Wild Wings, but otherwise, good wings are in short supply in NJ. We know how to do everything else - best pizza, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Greek, Italian, diners- you name it, we can do it. But the wings just eludes the Garden State.

I'm sure all the NJ-ites will appreciate this but I generally just consider NJ as part of NYC.

I read constantly (anyone have a shelfari.com account?) and I post my books online in case anyone wants an opinion if they are thinking of reading any. Faves include Harry Potter Series, I capture the Castle, Memiors of a Geisha, Pride & Prejudice, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and a million others. I love to write on the side and have 2 poems published but they aren't anything great - it's more of a hobby. I am trying to get into writing children's books though!

I have a Shelfari! And a Goodreads. My Shelfari is http://www.shelfari.com/caitief

Harry Potter is pretty awesome

I can attest that Caitie is MUCH better at keeping up with goodreads than I!!! I'm always getting good ideas from her updates

Maybe north Jersey, but you wouldn't say that if you'd been to Central (where I live) or Southern which is a state unto itself!

So true! I'm a north jersey girl myself and some of central to south might as well be PA. to me. They have grass we have pavement. They are friendly we are not. It's really a totally different atmosphere once you leave my area...even when I went to college by you teacherdrama it was so different to me! I'm not exactly sure how one state has so many different accents either.... Up the state everyone says towel, crayon, and home differently.

Also...there are some decent wings by me! Small place near Newark. So yummy!

Hi,

The Phillies lost three out of four games in Pittsburgh and two of three games in DC. I think I'm a jinx but I went to Roy Halladay's no-hitter two weeks ago.

JustCar: I'd love to see your kitty push your Boxer's head out of the way! LOL!
