Have you seen these yet? So cute! Also, I'm so jealous

Oh then you are so ready for SUMMER! You guys got slammed with snow!

Yeah - the snow was taller than I was, I was never so glad to have my Subaru (for the past 8 years I had a loyal little Mini; even with snow tires it was not equipped for snow). I think they ended up dumping most of it into the harbor - because the water's dirty anyways.

I am READY for the 80s. Weather and music.

40 degrees thats Hoth. Sweatshirts happen at 70. April's been weird this year. Lows are running 8 to 10 degrees above normal. The other night it was still 84 at 4am.

It snowed in Maryland this week. And we hauled out the winter coats for my son's baseball game.

I am so not prepared for the Florida heat.

Adorable, and undoubtedly an amazing memory for his family! Gosh, his son sure looks like him, too.

Brrrrr! Winter coat, long johns, the whole works!

Our newcasters in MO were laughing(teasing - pretty good natured) at reporters in southern CA one winter for reporting on the "extreme cold" of 45-50 degrees-the reporters were bundled in gloves, scarves, heavy coats. 50 degrees here is grilling weather! It's been upper 60's lately and I have been in tank top, shorts and wellies (no socks) to work in the garden...I hate shoes so I have been known to wear sandals/flip flops as long as possible-even when snow on the ground.

It was in the 60s here (Vegas) over the weekend and I saw people wearing scarves and winter coats. However, this weekend will be 97 so I'm guessing our "cold" weather is done till November.

Can you imagine being a kid, hanging out with all that coolness and not realize how crazy awesome it was... I wonder how much he remembers?

Oh that's my hair alright... I try to have something cute going on and by my second trip to the bathroom at the parks I get so discussed at looking at the mess that the hair goes up in a utility ponytail and that's it! I know I will try again this year, but bring tons of ponytail holders cause, well....

Yup, that will be me as well! Ponytails for days, probably won't even bother straightening my bangs, just going to stock up on bobby pins!

 

[yulilin3]

I don't go to the parks without my hat, hassle free hair.

I've thought of that before, I have no idea how this thread isn't the most popular!

My bf is an engineer and has been looking into making a bb8, which would be awesome.

Sphero is going to be rolling out (Get it?? ROLLING out.. nyuck nyuck!) a BB8 toy possibly around Christmas time this year.

Here is the link to sign up for email updates and pre-sales of this item. http://www.gosphero.com/starwars/

You definitely want to be on the pre-sale list if you are interested in ordering this. The Sphero toys are controlled from a smart phone or ipod touch apps.

@yulilin3 and @slaveone you all are CRAZY! Jeans in Florida August heat, holy hell, no way...

I plan on showing a little leg while wearing my shorts as well as showing off my cool Star Wars t-shirts. I was thinking that I would post a picture of myself wearing one. Posting our pictures will help us to identify each other, especially during the "Waiting for Chewbacca first thing on Friday morning" meet.

In Buffalo, anything over 40 and we bust out the bathing suits. It's basically a holiday here if it's above 60 before May. The whole city shuts down so we can enjoy some actual sun lol

 

[lvstitch]

Pretty much me

 

[jennab113]

When I was in FL in January, the weather was cool and a little rainy and my curly hair looked amazing. I know it's going to be crazier in May. Luckily I live in Atlanta, so I am pretty used to heat and humidity when dealing with my hair. And it's finally long enough for a ponytail!

I know this is from 15 pages ago, but I really want her to be a Solo. Mostly because I really want Han and Leia to still be together. As a kid, they were my OTP and in my head, they lived happily ever after (even without the EU books). If this movie wipes that out, I will be super sad. Dreamy, elementary school Jenna will be heartbroken.

I see order 66 never finished its job lol.

Arriving at 6am AND heading to a park!?! I am so NOT a morning person.

We are taking a red eye, leaving at 1030pm and getting in at 530 or something like that, this time it's muscle relaxing drugs that knock me out like I'm in the ring with Tyson. Then off to asports, check in, off the contemporary for a CM, then over to AK. Last time I didn't sleep and I waited for my room till 3pm, I wanted to punch every person that day. I was tired and super crabby lol. ( hmmmm this turned out to be longer then expected)

 

[coluk003]

Ok a little self education which I'm sure I'm right on, the higher the percentage on the humidity the worse it is correct? What in the weather for sat is a precursor for rain besides looking in the sky

It's been high 80s and 90s here and humid for California this time a year. Not that it gets humid here being from rocky hill ct I know humid, but still laying in bed last night was not fun at all

Some merchandise artist signing info
http://www.disneyparksmerchandise.c...WaltDisneyWorldResortEventSnapshotMay20150020
Ashley Eckstein confirmed to sign Her Universe purchases at the Mall from 3:30pm to 4:30pm every weekend
from DPB Visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Fridays – Sundays for Star Wars Weekends. Darth’s Mall is expanding to a three-location complex and is your one-stop galactic destination for commemorative merchandise.

Cool to have her schedule, thanks for sharing! Only problem is we're gonna be there over the first weekend, when Darth's Mall is set to be insanely busy - do you think it will have calmed down some in there by 3.30, or will it still be a madhouse? Also, what does she sign for people buying Her Universe gear? Does she have headshots there for people to buy especially for her to sign?
