Something About Nothing..........#11

[keishashadow]

I only packed so far in advance cause I mainly wear button up shirts to work, so I have a plethora of tshirts I can wash and go ahead and pack. That just leaves washing socks and such before I go and pack those

what! no crocs? can't leave home without them

Oh heck don`t feel bad for us!!!! I pack the day before.....no biggie....and as it`s Universal we stay at at.......no planning.......book hotel......book flights......book car rental........travel insurance and done

We love travelling all over.....love flying, so the journey is an enjoyable part of our trip. Journey home is a different story



I have to google this devil`s den .....ghostly orbs???? Like the sound of that!!!

Got no pics of the new spoogs.....they`re fairly small, with a plum/burgundy color on the arms....or is it legs you call the bits that sit around your ears??? Couldn`t get purple or I would have ended up looking like Dame Edna Everidge

4 hours at a dance class?? She`s not at Abby Lee Miller`s is she Don`t know I could have turned down a beer and wings.......but when you`re tired the soft pillows win every time

would you believe as the crow flies her school is a few miles across the river from my house. what a classless bunch of broads...the moms & abby that is...feel bad for the kiddos. The 4 hour estimate included but actually took longer. Was compelled to stop for a toy on way home, then I was treated to Chinese buffet by her parents, turned out to be a nice day.

I've never met a person who visited Devil's Den/Round Top areas and didn't feel 'something' wasn't quite right. Truly a momentous bloody battle that was waged in that immediate area in part due to the topography. It's commonplace to experience interesting camera issues in that area. Mac is a very good source of information on all things Civil War related if you're interested in the gory details.

Lynne nom - mythos! we made reservations for Margaritaville this January. arrived and found the place packed. they had gone with 'open seating' a half hour earlier. Wasn't fun to have to situate ourselves like vultures playing table roulette with a hungry toddler in tow. Bonus points: Open Table sent me an email inquiring why I didn't keep my reservation. they seemed surprised when I explained it wasn't my fault and even awarded me some extra points. Not sure it our experience was a fluke or not.

A puppy and a baby! This thread has turned super cute in the last few days, and I really needed a dose of cute to help me smile!

Since it looks like so many are traveling or traveling soon, hope y'all have great and safe trips!

what! no crocs? can't leave home without them

I invested in a nice pair of Teva sandals, so no. No more Crocs, lol.

Lol.......yep those dance moms and Abby are a real bunch of wackadoos......one of my friends got me on to watching it.......but couldn't watch anymore.......those mothers should be ashamed of themselves the way they let those kids be treated!

I love spooky ghost stories I have had one ghostly experience, years ago
It happened.....will have to tell you in person though.....it's a long story. So now we have to meet up one day

Hello all!

Its been forever since I have been able to pop on! So much has happened....3 Disney trips since December, getting a new bathroom, and Christopher turned 1!

Awwwwww Christopher is just beautiful, what a little stunner he really is......so cute...........he'll be so much fun to be around. Can't believe he's now 1............time really does fly


Wet and windy here today. Just been out to get my friend some stuff for her birthday on Saturday but home now and staying in rest of today.

Will do some baking

Awww, little Christopher. One already! Such a cute little fish.

7 inches of rain yesterday, so roads are still closed this morning, and it's really humid right now. More rain and showers today, so I guess our total rain may go up an inch or so. Wet today, but feels more like spring.

Keisha, sorry to hear about your Margaritaville wait. Their food is decent and we like the atmosphere. May go to it this summer, but there's other places we want to try. Both restaurants we never ate at. We're also going to do the character breakfast at Cafe La Bamba. My kids are beyond character needs now, but they are looking forward to the ones at La Bamba.

Robbie, so close now. I can't wear Crocs, so I like Tevas and plain old flip flops.

Schumi, I hope your day is restful!

So the front of my yahoo page this morning said Orlando got 5 inches of rain in 1 hour yesterday! Yikes!! Of course there's always a rain shower, occasionally something a little stronger, and one year even Hurricane Andrew while we were visiting.... Usually we just ride it out and take advantage of the empty parks when we can, but doesn't it seem like an especially wet spring for Florida? Maybe I'm wrong.

Last week I mentioned i had a new driver-- my almost 17 year old daughter. My DH and I gave her our 5 year old Ford Focus....a little car with good gas mileage, great first car....well a couple days ago she was side swiped in her school parking lot, by some punk who won't even come forward. So infuriating! Adds to my already existing anxiety!

37 days til our Orlando vacation! Can NOT wait!

Hope you all are doing well....and that sweet baby Christopher a few posts up .... Sweetie pie!!!

 

[Mikkimús]

KStarfish82 Oww he is adorable little man

Heluvsme Im sorry about your daughters car, people´s rudeness can be unbelievable

I just found out that I am most likely allergic to milk.
Well that will make eating normal food (not even get me started on eating on vacation) harder for little miss special food needs here

 

[keishashadow]

Happy May Day - Comrade Homies!time to dance around the pole...no, not 'that' pole

carole I like a good ghostie talesomeday i'll catch u @ Universal.

I invested in a nice pair of Teva sandals, so no. No more Crocs, lol.

i'll hold down the fort. tried tevas but they rub top of my feet and ankles for some reason.

lynne let me know how u like that character meal.

how'd I miss the pic of BD boy, cute little bruiser!

ouch to the sideswipe of the car, at least no injuries, unless it's turned into insurance = tough on jr drivers.

That has to be difficult to have several food restrictions. ice cream no longer agrees with me, potato chips are still a-ok

spending day thus far jumping thru hoops looking for elusive summer session that would have 2 classes jr needs to hopefully graduate in 4 years. wish me luck lol. most kids in these parts have to at least go another semester if not a year since the in-demand classes are so sparse. imo, if ur going to go longer it should be for a graduate degree...what do I know...I just write the checks.

Schumi, I hope your day is restful!

It`s nice when you can feel that change in the weather...for the better.....rain is better than snow....rain we can cope with

Had a lovely day thanks

Oh that is so annoying!!! Hope it didn`t affect her too much. Cowards!

Miss Mikki.......you may find it easier in the States for your allergies than you think. We have friends who stayed in Orlando/Universal 2 years past December, and one of their kids has a few special needs but also has dairy and shellfish allergies. They found it very accommodating and every restaurant they went into they explained and it was no problem for them. They live in Switzerland now and don`t find it as easy there as they did in the States.....hope you don`t feel too bad about having these allergies

carole I like a good ghostie talesomeday i'll catch u @ Universal.

Yep....hopefully sooner rather than later for a meet up

lol at writing the cheques.........we seem to be writing a lot of them recently for DS. He`s just about to finish end of this month, his 2nd year of his 5 year degree at University and just got a list of books and stuff he needs next year......that`s a lot of stuff!!! But hey they`re worth it, hope you get the lad sorted out with something Janet.......



My kitchen looks like a bakery!! Spent most of the day baking.....very relaxing way to spend a wet, cold and miserable day

4 pound cakes, butter shortbread, cherry scones, and 3 pavlovas (my favourite) Giving 2 pavlovas away to my friend who can`t make meringue to save her life, but loves them...... and freeze the baking for when I`m away. May have the other pavlova tomorrow night

Kitchen smells amazing still. Just finished cleaning it all......not fond of that bit at all.

Hope everyone`s good

Oh Schumi, pound cake is one of my favorites. That and a nice cup of tea I can call breakfast.

I am so ready for Friday. It's been a long week so far.

I think I see the sun though. Wahoo! Hopefully we'll have a nice week-end. Spring soccer and school fair this week-end, so we'll be busy.

Keisha, I'll post how the breakfast went. I hope it's good. My DD is not a breakfast eater, but the price did not seem too bad, even though it does not get an AP discount. I'll be paying college bills before I know it. We keep telling our kids Penn State or other state school. I can't believe the cost of education nowadays.

Heluvsme, sorry to hear about jr's sideswiped car. Glad all is ok. Yep, someone did that to my car, when it was a year old, at work. No one has fessed up to it for years now. I also have a baseball dent in the hood that happened when the car was less than a week old. Parked as far away from the field as I thought I would be ok, but no, who's car did they hit? Mine. My car must be a magnet for dents.

 

[marciemi]

Off to Orlando tomorrow for the househunting trip (and of course to go to Disney!). Anyone need anything? Going to get a pic of us with Mickey to announce the move on FB!

 

[Bluer101]

I'm a happy fat man. One of my favorite restaurants just started delivering so I ordered them for dinner. Ugh, so good! They have the best chicken enchiladas, more so for the tomatillo sauce they put on top. I also go tortilla soup, and apple cobbler, another thing they have that is out of this world. I'm gonna go back to work and hope I don't conk out lol

Lol......I love it too.......one of them won't make the freezer........I had 2 slices with a cup of tea last night....couldn't resist. Now I'm having breakfast soon and was planning on toast with marmalade.......but since you suggested it for breakfast........well............

Have a nice weekend with your soccer and fair......hope the weather stays nice for you

Lol......you made me laugh with that!! Can't quite get my head around tortilla soup though.......but I don't really like Mexican style food in general so maybe I wouldn't get it. I do like nachos, but not with chilli beef, and I love chilli Doritos.........does that count as Mexican

I thing onr of my eye ,s is crossed now
Hard to ty0 now

Will try lyster

Hope you got some sleep



Shopping and hairdresser today for highlights and a little bit of a cut......I like the length it is now......can pin it up, have a pony tail or usually just straighten it for every day wear.

DH is home......landed in at 5 am..........has asked for lasagne for dinner tonight and a big glass of red wine.........of course

Have a great weekend everyone
