janet so glad you are back.
i'll assign you a job next week just in case you are not 100% yet.......


mr duck originally posted to you- "how is Tom"..
after i made my response to him, he snuck in later and changed it.

he took Tom away.
but, Tom is now your husband.

remember to type slow today so you are with us the entire day.
don't want you to have to rest yet after your first day back here.

yes, zombies rule!

Managed to get out and get some xmas gifts for Scotland next week......don`t feel so bad now.........forgot wrapping paper though Weekend plans have changed so I can go out Sunday and get the rest, then get them wrapped up.

Christmas music is in full swing in all shops now......heard Wham`s Last Christmas about 8 times today!!

It is so cold now.........I started writing todays trip report in dull daylight.....when I finished it was dark!! I know it takes a while to do....but even so!!

Pizza for dinner tonight

i always do christmas the last minute.
shopping is on the 24th.

yesterday one of my family members asked if our tree can go up earlier this year.

i thought for a minute and said, yes, this will be something really different for me.

then i was asked, can the tree go up the week before Tday?


i can see it now.
the cats will continually climb the tree until it breaks.

I would have a nervous breakdown if I wasn`t sorted around the 20th Dec....or thereabouts ....I wish I could shop like you.....but I just can`t do it......my nerves would be shot!!!

Our tree goes up beginning of Dec....depends when Tom is home.....this year I think it will be Sat 30th Nov.......earliest yet but it suits us all. We get bottle of red wine.......xmas music and we`re in the xmas spirit.....mind you doesn`t take much!!!

But we don`t have cats to worry about.........that is a long time for them to be climbing......go for it though......just for a change


I thought the second episode of AHS was odd. Not sure about the Frankenstein element........loving Kathy Bates though.......my friend said it gets much better....she watches online......has no patience whatsoever!! It is good though.....just a bit odd.

I'm going to a new seafood restaurant tonight with a few friends from work. I haven't had seafood in 100 years so it will taste good...hopefully.

I will...this place is in Apopka so it's quite a drive from the Universal area.

Wow, that's early! The earlier it goes up, the more pine needles we have to vacuum. Plus, we have to get around to it. Our goal is three weeks before Christmas, which we sometimes make. It was one week before Christmas a couple years ago though. We got a great discount by going that late!

We did get our Halloween pumpkins 4 days before Halloween this year so that was improvement. (Though one rotted anyway, so I ended up having to get a replacement the day before).

We do better on the presents though. I used to be completely done T-giving. However, with our trip and relying heavily on shipping, that's not going to happen this year. I can't imagine waiting until the 24th. I avoid stores on the weekends from T-giving until Christmas. I hate crowds and I don't love shopping. And most of my family lives far away, so I have to plan time in for shipping. We do the kids' yearly photos in Feb now though. I used to do that in time for Christmas but last year's trip got in the way combined with illness. It was a MUCH nicer experience doing it in early Feb.

Well...we went but their credit card machine was down and everyone had to pay cash...which none of us had. I mean...who carries cash anymore? So...we ended up at Tijuana Flats which was good. We'll go to the seafood place again but I'll make sure they can take credit/debit cards.

i put my tree up about dec 20th and do my shopping on the 24th.
i have a list and stores to hit.
if they are out of what i came for, then gift card is what i buy.
i only do presents for the immediate family.
don't have to send anything out so that gives me plenty of time on the 24th.
i hate shopping so i go on one day only.

my 2 cats love to climb the christmas tree.
i'm gonna go nuts, or have a stroke if that tree really does go up early.

i don't know what to do about that tree now........

if the cc machine was down, couldn't they have done a swipe and paper copy?
oh my...

hope you are able to get back to the seafood place metro.

i've been trying to set up the motherland "my experience fast pass +" new thing.
i have 56 days before i hit there.

i think their system has glitches as i have not been successful with it yet.

BUT, this afternoon got an email from the motherland to sign up for a test program.

AHA, i can get the 3 fast passes that way for whatever days i'm set up for.


still need to get that process done as i don't think the test program will be for the number of days i will be there.

ending that trip with the darkside stay.
i have my room reserved, have the ap, transportation not an issue so i am all set for half of my trip.

I just had to do this for my trip next weekend. Nothing like planning out all your days, at least now I know I can ride tsmm without having to be there for rope drop

 

[tink1957]

We had magic bands on our last stay. It was nice to not have to rush around getting our fast passes. Just show up at the allotted time. I wasn't crazy about the 3 pass limit but you can't have everything. Thanks to Mac we got to ride Soarin more than once.

Happy weekend folks! It's a long one for me because Monday is Remembrance Day and government workers get it off.

However, I'll be participating in a Remembrance Day ceremony, playing the national anthem, Last Post and Reveille on the trumpet. I get to do it in an actual auditorium this year, which is really exciting. I haven't played in an auditorium in years.

I've spent the last few days uploading the non-Disney trip report days to my blog and now I'm finally updating my actual Trip Report!! Still need to post about Bubba Gump and HHN on my blog though.

Oh that sucks!!............we love seafood.....well 2 out of the 3 of us......the other prefers chicken......can you guess

Definitely let us know when you go back and tell us about it......

Kogo.......I read most of your blog last night.......it's really good, I enjoyed it a lot.........lovely pictures too..........those horses are beautiful. I'm kinda scared of them but they looked so sweet



Went to a Remembrance service this morning......always touching to attend.

It's a beautiful but very cold day here today........went down to -5 Celsius last night......about 22 Fahrenheit........cold!!

Got all my Scotland presents wrapped and cards written so I'm sorted now.

Have a great Sunday everyone

i'd be out of luck. only time I have any cash on me is when on vacation.

all the Xmas hoopla is making me nervous, just starting to get home in shape for thanksgiving relative invasion. In that purging sort of mood, put family on notice they have a week to put their clutter away or it may go missing.

mac - you need a joy of shopping intervention

 

[buckeev]

Cash?!..., What means this weird word...."Cash"???

 

[donaldduck352]

Cash is the only way I roll-when its gone I do not spend!!
Well CC DW keeps on her 'cuase the way I can spend-smart women she is!!
