Wow - look at you! You got your update done ahead of schedule. I am impressed!
Well the timing worked out. I am out of town today but the clients I was going to take to dinner didn't get back to me and my colleague blew me off for dinner as well so I had the perfect night! I had fatburger delivered to my room,
watched idol and got my update done. Of course it helped that it wasn't much of an update lol. I am SO bad that first day on every trip I take. And I will likely do replies today as I can as my weekend just turned insanely busy. For a good reason. My parents sold the house!!!!!!!!!!!!! But adding in the last push of clearing crap out of it was NOT on my agenda for the weekend for sure. Going to try to get a DL trip update up as well. I'd love to get a couple in over there before we leave but 2 might be pushing it, we will see. I'll update the other PTR on Monday as usual.
You did a 10 mile run on Mother's day!
I have no idea why I ran that far back in May when the half wasn't till almost Sept, guess I just wanted to? Or that it was lovley out and mothers day and I could? No clue. I even ran from the house with our hill. I have a feeling though the time I put into RK is off as if you add the hill in, I can't see how I really did it that fast but who knows. What I do know is I slowed down after that. Of course the heat also went up.
I didn't realize you no longer had a non-stop flight to Orlando. That's got to be a bummer when you are taking a red eye. At least you'll be traveling with Ann on your upcoming trip and the two of you will be on the same time zone!
Oh we have them, just not red eyes except for fri/sat. Our red eye is odd in a different way. We leave really early, like 5pm so get into MCO BEFORE 5am...which is a bit too early in my book. That said, we should avoid the uber happy 6am folks as we go through LA so it means the actual red eye is a more traditional one full of west coasters. We have a non stop back. And the good part about going through LA is we don't have to worry about any winter delays on the leg.
I LOVED our view. It was so perfect. You did such an awesome job on narrowing down our location. Perfection!
I am so glad you liked it and WOW the hidden bonus of the SSR trail link being right there. That was amazing!
You made great time getting to the park. The timing was great.
So - is it wrong that I did not love the cronut. I was certain I would and it was just "eh" to me. In all fairness, I feel like I have to try it again, but earlier in the day or maybe for dessert. Maybe the timing was wrong for me.
Nope, not wrong. Jeff doesn't care for them. Then again he is not big on either sugar donuts or croissants. He likes the gut bomb old fashioneds!
So when do you guys leave? Tuesday? I'm so jealous! I want to leave SO bad. Instead, I have another 52 hour work week and a student with me for 4 days. UGH!
I'm just keeping my eye on the prize!
No, we leave weds so land early Thursday morning. I may well end up doing some work at the airport on Weds depending on what time my ride wants to drop me off to avoid rush hour traffic and fits best with their schedule. I have a 2 hour budget meeting in the morning (UGH) but can head to the airport anytime after that so need to be 100% packed Tuesday night. Really I hope to be packed on Sunday.
A student for 4 days? UGH! 52 hours next week? Double UGH!
YAYAYAYAYAY! I am so having one of them. First of all - it looks like the perfect 1/2 marathon drink. And secondly - It looks like the perfect "take me away from winter" drink.
That does look like a drink you'd like and it is full of electrolytes!
Maybe you can have it at breakfast lol. I'm thinking a mimosa myself. I can't really do Midori (too sweet) or Blue Caracao unless they are in super small doses and even then it's pushing it. Together in one would be too much for me I am pretty sure.
home Cynthia!!!
My Mothers' Day was Disney-related, too! That's when I told Mark that what I wanted was to go away on my solo trip to meet up with my DIS friends. We purchased my plane ticket that morning.
That is a perfect mothers day present!
LOVE that view
I love the planning that went into your morning arrival "meal"!
I am a bit silly about it. I had similar planning issues for our arrival in Sept for our anniversary trip and breakfast ended up being a total bust. Moral of the story is when a 2 leg red eye gets you in at 9:30 just forget about the dream of breakfast foods. Of course Ann and I have the opposite problem. We land SO early that not even the MCO starbucks will be open! I want the happy medium, land around 7:30 am. Oh well.
Looking forward to reading about all of meeting up!
But it may not happen until we are all back from our trips. If I don't get back here, wishing you and Mary Ellen good times (in your races, but mostly just being together)!!!
Have a GREAT trip, I am a bit jealous as I am dying to see Gringott and I want a full debrief on the food if you hit Jakes or The Kitchen.
Yup, calling for another "blizzard" here Saturday into Sunday. Another foot to 18 inches here. Fortunately, Monday morning looks clear so far (fingers crossed)
Big problem is finding a place to put all the snow we have, and getting around. Tuesday Mark didn't go into work because all the trains into Boston were not running. They are up and running again, but random trains keep getting cancelled. On Wednesday morning, his train didn't have lights or heat. But at least it was moving. Driving into the city is worse. Hour(s) long gridlock across town. It has been a LOOOONNNNGGGG week (following a few long weeks).
You NEED vacation now! Hoping that everything is clear for you to get out of dodge on time.
That sounds like a very rough travel day. Your Mother's Day sounds lovely but you must have been ready for some sleep by the time you got on the plane.
You know, I am so used to it at this point that no, it wasn't rough at all to tell you the truth. It's kind of a necessary evil. I don't ever sleep much but I do doze and that will get me through the day to make the time change. Plus you do run on pure energy at first when you arrive and that helps.
We are the people getting on the plane at 6am, excited about going to Disney.
I tend to sleep on the plane, since I have to wake up at 3am for the flight. But there are always cheery, chatting people around me on these early morning flights.
I have the same problem with sugar and usually avoid it on an empty stomach. A serving of bacon usually fixes that problem, though.
LOL! Never thought about a serving of bacon although certainly if someone handed it to me I'd eat it. Not first thing though, I just can't eat right away, I generally just have an early lunch on work days and then it's brunch foods on the weekends but the timing is similar, or later actually as I am getting up later. I do go for savory though when I do eat.
)
If so I am total loser! 
So, yes, it was worth the extra shopping to have that surprise.
They always suck all energy out of me! But maybe with only a three hour time difference they might be less horrible...
