Something About Nothing..........# 10

i know you like Marleys.......

since i want to hang with you guys, i will be going to Marleys.......again.....



sure, let's do city walk until it closes.
and we'd love for other homies to join in with us.



i looked it up and the city walk pass is not included with the ap again this year.
i'll buy the pass online or when i get there.


i need to look city walk up again as some nights are ladies free night.
marleys is not on wednesday though.

we originally started to frequent marleys years ago since they didn't collect the cover. we like the tunes and chatting up the islands with the workers. then they morphed to if you were in the club before 9 pm, no cover. Didn't make it there until later last year but as i recall we sweet-talked our way in free. jmho but the pool of karoke talent at rising star must be of the hit or mostly miss variety...or else i'm not buzzed enough to appreciate it lol.

Me and DW will be heading down in 11 days and DW wants me to add an extra day offsite just to have an extra day in Orlando and told her it would cut into her spending money lol

go for it dood all the souvies you need are in your noggin

only took one suitcase last trip. Pulled out the other large one to consider packing this weekend and the handle fell off. i'm not happy with JCPenny at this point, had only used it a few trips.

not too far away

i've met several folks from ontario who visit grove city, pa, outlets a few times a year to shop for clothing (no sales tax).

If I want to go outlet shopping, I think I have to go to Syracuse, NY. I did small shopping this weekend, at the Aldi store, the mall (gotta get my Ghost Hunters DVDs!!), and the Wal-Mart. We went to Ponderosa for supper.

Coffee and interwebz. Sounds serious!!

That`s went so quickly....11 days wow!!! Yep go for the extra day.....you know you want to



we are at 100 days to go till Orlando...RPR and HHN`s and sunshine

And I`m extra happy as I just booked our flights and hotel for the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix end of July

Told DH it can be an early birthday present for me as we originally weren`t planning on going to the Hungarian one this year.

Quiet night with a friend coming around tonight.......coffee and cookies night. Made them today, white chocolate ones.......they are lush

I`ve never been to Marley`s in all our visits. Not keen on the style of music though so not sure I would like it anyway......but sounds like fun to be anywhere with the gals above............Here`s hoping we can swing October next year for our trip and get to meet up with everyone I`ve missed last couple of years

I do get to meet Vicki though this year and Metro as always



Had my mum on the phone earlier asking again when I can book our flights to New York next year......told her it`s 11 months out from our return date.............she`s so keen to get sorted out again. But she`ll have to be patient into July till they`re released. I`m so pleased though she`s keen to go back........as am I

Off to clean the patio area with the power jet wash thingy.........not quite sure how to use it......but I`ll work it out

Happy Wednesday

Oh Shumi, you are quite the house keeper! Puts me to shame!

It is a beautiful Wednesday, bright sun and not too hot. But here I sit

When my kids are older, I'd love to come down in the fall. Not a big HHN fan, but would love to see all the decorations and maybe see some of y'all.

So happy soccer practice has now gone down to 1 night a week, so I am beginning to have more quiet nights, though the kids have finals, so not as quiet yet.

hugarian grand prix, who knew?

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

homies, if youse are going to be at the darkside in early to mid october,
let me know..........

We haven't finalized our plans yet ... but if we're down when you are we'd love to get together with you.

Returned from our May trip a week ago yesterday and yet it seems like so long ago! Just missed the soft opening of Transformers and the new Springfield area. Construction on the new Harry Potter area is coming along nicely - you can actually tell what things are from what they have up already. Looking forward to seeing it when it's finished.

Did Star Wars weekends at DHS again this year. While it's a good time, they really need to do something different and mix it up a bit. I really like what they did for "May the 4th be with you" and don't understand why they can't do something like that for the regular Star Wars weekends. I hear the fireworks they had were amazing!

Rainy Thursday, well, not yet. To be heavy tomorrow, but not the hurricane like rain FLA is getting.

For those in South FLA, please be safe. Just saw there are tornado sightings. To all those in the storm, take care.

I have been lucky, rain has not interfered with my summer FLA trips. Some rain, but typical nothing, rain, nothing. Hoping when we are there at the end of this year, rain will not be around.

I actually rode out a hurricane on Sanibel Island when I was vacationing there the first week of December years ago. Could not believe it. Didn't think hurricane's came that late in the year.

I need some more caffine at work today. One cup was not enough, apparently.

I gotta know... did you go check out the shelling prospects after?

How bad did it get?

 

[schumigirl]

Oh I can be a lazy moo at times too I`d never make a Stepford Wife in a million years!!!! I had to do the patio yesterday as the workmen had made a bit of a mess from doing the utility so it was bits of plaster and grout and things.........not something you can ignore like the cobweb you can`t reach at the top of the stairs

hugarian grand prix, who knew?

Oh yeah........it`s fantastic.....been to it a couple of times. But not for 3 years so really looking forward to it. Was aiming to go to Germany as well this season for the Nurburgring race but DH put his foot down.......well........albeit very gently But it was a definite no. I didn`t push it.



We`ve had another beautiful day here.........I got sunburned on my shoulder a little today!!!! Don`t know when I last used sunscreen in this country!! We were eating lunch outside and my shoulder wasn`t totally under the umbrella thingy......ouch.

Trying to work out our options for HHN.

We can buy our usual 14 day 2 park ticket with HHN admission added but no Saturdays are included for HHN.

Or we can just upgrade in the park and do S&S on each day we want

Not sure which to do.........got time to plan though.....might wait and see what the theme is first.

I did some shelling afterwards. My DD was 4 at the time, and loved picking up shells. We had quite a collection by the end of the week we were there.

It was not as bad as it could have been. The bridges were closed, so we were stuck in our condo at the Sundial Resort. The winds were howling and the rain at times was really loud. (We were on the top floor of the 4 story building we were in). After the storm, trees were down, some roads were closed for a short time, and the beach looked beat up. Only ruined one day of our week there. I love that Island and the Gulf side. So pretty colored water and great shelling.

Ever been on Sanibel or Captiva? Beautiful islands near St. Pete's.

I've never been there before but we're heading there for three days on this coming trip, which is why I'm not doing any parks for the first week. Carol and I want to shell like the serious shellers and then do some nature tours. I'm bringing the fancy camera.

We'll be going late September, so that's still hurricane season.

We had a few small tornados about 10-15 miles from us today. It was real crappy this morning when I got to work. We had a feeder band that went through that knocked over a few patio furniture and took one of my residents boat down the intercostal. We got a call after the rain stopped saying it crashed into another boat down the way.

Lets put it this way, the resident was not happy. He'll most of my residents had no idea it was that bad this morning, they were still sleeping.

All is pretty quite now though.

Back at cha!

Sanibel is nice but it's a tourist area.

Hope the job goes with no problems. I just hate the dust jobs like that seem to generate........I hate dusting.

Our workmen thought our utility would take 3 days but they finished after 2 days which was good.

Got our plumber in just now. Boiler having it`s yearly service. Hoping he finds no problems.


I`ve never been to Sanibel. We usually bimble over to Clearwater/St Pete`s for a visit. Quite fancy Anna Maria Island for a little visit.....maybe when we stay longer than we do now when DH retires, whether that be early retirement or not.

Having a bbq tonight.....we have to take advantage of this sunshine when we can......this could be our summer for all we know

Grocery shop this morning after plumber goes for some supplies. Got a vegan coming so will have to think a bit about food rather than just buy what we all usually eat.

But least it`s Friday
