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

[MDer2FL]

HOMIES!!!

Finally, I'm home and able to communicate. Don't ask this non-techie dingbat what happened. I could NOT access this board via my phone, except to read, and even that was only occasionally. Everytime I tried to post a reply, NOTHING happened. It was incredibly frustrating!!!!!!! Esp. as I wanted to share all my "first-time at Universal" impressions with you.

ANY-whooooo...... it was a very fast, very WET week in Orlando! I'm going to try and cobble together a trip report in the next couple of days, but a quick synopsis: Royal Pacific Resort is awesome!!! I braved Mummy (not so bad, really -- I'd do it again) , drank Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice, and yes, this big old chickenlady even did Forbidden Journey (Arrrghh, NEVER again!!! LOL)

We only just got home two hours ago, I'm still decompressing. Will post more later. Sorry I was AWOL all week, but I swear it wasn't from lack of trying!!!

I had to post this. We just ate at Islands Dining Room and I have never seen this. They always have the little ketchup bottles but not these.

Someone tell Ken and Barbie I found their Tabasco lol.

OMG Bluer!!!! I stole one of those Tabasco mini-bottles! LOL.... guess I was channelling my lovely, wonderful, dear departed Grandma who would take the sugar packets off the table ("They'll just throw them away!") but who could NOT want one of these?!?! I mean, the mini ketchup bottles were cute, but who could resist those teensie l'il things?!?! LOL. I'm going to give it to my brother-in-law who is a Tabasco hound.

Today was supposed to be my do-nothing day.

But then my mother called to remind me I needed to go to Costco to pick up some vitamins for her, and to ask if I could also pick up some granola bars while I was there.

So I went out and did that.

Then I came home and got back in my PJs, only to have the biggest urge to go to the dollar store. So I got back in my clothes and headed to the dollar store. I ended up buying some things I'll need for the trip... despite needing to wait more than two months for it!!! I now have a basket of things to bring with me on the trip. It includes gifts for people I may meet, gifts for my friends, useful items, and dog clothes. For my fur nieces.

Anywho. BACK IN MY PAJAMAS!

I didn't steal it, I asked if I van take it. The waiter wanted to know if I wanted more.

Those ketchup bottles have been used there for years on the inside eateries. Outside no glass.

I tried looking for you guys but did not see you. I was waiting for a post from you but now I know why, too bad. I'm glad you enjoyed Royal Pacific, it's our home away from home.

We are leaving tomorrow. At least we have a short ride home. We just got back up to our room after watching Transformers at the dive in movies.

Bluer --

Everytime I tried posting, my phone would just go into "loading.... loading.... loading..." mode. Uggghhh!!!! It was really frustrating. I kept looking for a tall guy with a goatee, but alas, nothing! LOL. Hope you & your family had a great trip. Our Universal days (late last Saturday thru Tuesday) were rainy but still good. One of my favorites was the Horror Makeup show.... omg, hilarious! And Olivander's, that was amazing! Too short, but the atmosphere was so cool, I went back a 2nd time.

Really gotta get to work on that trip report!

i remember..........

 

[schumigirl]

schumicarole, so youse are thinking you're in orlando right now with those temps you are a having.............
the more hot days you have now before your trip, will have you prepared for what will be happening with in the next 2 months.

don't forget your sunscreen.

don't you love it when relatives become addicted to florida also!

It was like Orlando ......almost but not quite ........Tom has a garden temperature gadget that someone bought him as a present........he loves it.......and it said 92f in our garden yesterday afternoon.......almost unheard of. Yes we had to go and buy sunscreen few weeks back........we never usually need it in this country but we certainly needed it last few weeks.......and it`s glorious again today. Sat in the garden till nearly midnight last night......it was just lovely
Yes I`m so happy my nephew and his girlfriend loved it. He wasn`t sure he would like it all......told him to trust me

Hey all ... yeah, yeah I know ... been AWOL for some time (unfortunately just no time - life gets in the way sometimes) ... so who wants to catch me up?

..........nice to see you again.......been a while

Glad you had an amazing time......RPR is just the best isn`t it......can`t imagine us staying anywhere else in Orlando for our trips. They really do make you feel like family Looking forward to hearing more about it

I'm not a cat person.

LOL.........Neither is Tom normally.........but even he likes this little cat, very unusual!!!

Hi Peaches00 Nice to see you here...........I`m trying to talk my dh into a cabana one day......but not sure we could spend a whole day by the pool to make it worth the money or not??? Too many decisions this year!!!!

We are leaving tomorrow. At least we have a short ride home. We just got back up to our room after watching Transformers at the dive in movies.

Least it won`t be long till you`re back again Bluer Hope you had an amazing time



Another garden day today apart from watching motor racing of course........got some lovely bbq food again today..........but no sangria!!! We made a couple of pitchers yesterday.........think that was enough for the weekend

Have a good Sunday

92 F, that is hot!
hope you had a drink with an umbrella in it while you were sitting around the garden.

i love gadgets too.
some of them are unique and hard to find but so worth it.

pretty soon you'll have all the relatives wanting to go to the darkside.
you can start up a business and be their travel agent schumi!


how many more sleeps for you until you reach the darkside?

 

[RAPstar]

92 degrees is nothing. Heck last week it was at least 92 every day, and there was one day it was 104. Gotta love Texas summers. Or not. Seriously, I'd move to Antarctica if they had internet.

67 more sleeps Then it`ll be your turn again

Didn`t quite have an umberella in my drink....spent some under the sun umberella though.......do like a bit of shade now and again.

Having ginger beer today.

92 degrees is nothing. Heck last week it was at least 92 every day, and there was one day it was 104. Gotta love Texas summers. Or not. Seriously, I`d move to Antartica if they had internet.

It`s not nothing to us in the UK though.......we usually have highs of mid 70`s in the summer and think ourselves lucky if we do!! It wasn`t even 92 in general it was mid to high 80`s......just our garden is a real suntrap......but we have to make the most of it when we are lucky enough to get it.

I wouldn`t last half a minute in Antartica........I don`t like cold....unless it`s aircon in Florida....that, I do like



It`s a lot cooler today, still warm and sunny but breezy which was nice.......will make it easier to sleep tonight.

Our guy won the German Grand Prix today and our guy won the Wimbledon mens final Happy days.

Hope everyone`s having a lovely weekend

I'm not a cat person.

We didn't think of ourselves as "cat people" either ... that was until we were adopted by Igor a couple years ago ... now we have three

We're still not sure why he chose us as we no doubt smelled like "dog" ... but there was something about us he liked

I must say cats are much easier than dogs to take care of ...

 

[macraven]

adding to what BonLee posted,
cats are also a lot easier than taking care of kids........



we could be gone for a 3 day short trip.
the cats use the liter box, have a timed feeder gadget, have the water bowl that dispenses water from the cylinder it is attached to, etc.

heck, they probably sleep most of the time we are out of town and don't realize we were even gone.......

 

[RAPstar]

I love cats. Hate litter boxes.

 

[Bluer101]

Good morning everyone. Well back to work the party is over for now.

 

[MDer2FL]

I know someone who toilet trained her cats.

My sweet kitty is nearly 20 and won't be with us a whole lot longer, I suppose. If I get another after she's gone (oh who am I kidding, WHEN I get another, lol) I may give TT'ing a try.
