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

[Bluer101]

when are homie Bluers gonna post and tell us about all their fun this weekend.... and how are they going to handle a 3 week time period not being in the parks.? hope they had a blast this weekend! i'm sure the youngest bluer is not looking forward to this week. school bells will be ringing......

Got home an hour ago.

Always have a great time away from daily life. It's going to be hard for the next 4 weeks till we go again. But you never know with us it's always subject to change. Our AP's are always in arms reach to make a getaway. We were wondering if RPR or PBH can store some of our things so we can just leave without packing???

DS starts school next Monday as we did not want to do Universal the weekend before school. So it gives hime one more week.

Hey, someone has to do it.

It's not just about the parks as we enjoy hanging at the pools and resort. It's our weekend getaway. What's even funny is we have our pool and spa in the backyard. I guess it's fun to hang with the crowds and enjoy life.

But now it's Monday and back to work to make more trips happen.

thank you for encouring going gluten free.
glad you listed what is allowed.
i could go with that.

you own a gym??
i bet you are thin and fit.


i yearn for the day that i am.....


this might sound stupid but i keep thinking you were the one that was due to have a baby last year, maybe it was august/september?
i haven't gone back thru the past thread and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out which of the homies was prego last summer.

Not stupid at all...it was me!! She was born July 29th. We were planning on going back to darkside last year but I had to use all of my vacay time after the baby was born. Cool thing though - she took her first steps in the RPH Club Lounge a few weeks ago!!!!

And don't I wish I was thin and fit!!! With the cost of daycare and my schedule - the only time I can fit in the gym is at 5:45AM. We have not had the best of luck with that. HA!

Don't they though??!!! Its so interesting because I was still able to make it to the gym after our first daughter - but once she started walking - it was all over. We even made a little kiddie area in our gym, but of course she has no interest in staying there when Mommy and/or Daddy aren't with her.

2 words ... SINGLE DIGITS!!!!!

If 5:45 were my only choice for workouts .... NO, just NO!

mac - this week is olive oil week, and I posted an extra in there before apple week with apples. I modified a recipe or two and combined them for a new recipe for oozy gooey caramel apple bars that I cooked up and gave out as samples over the weekend. (if your ever interested in the stuff I put up on Facebook, it's www.facebook.com/williamssonomamaplegrove)

Mr and Mrs Bluer, could you please make sure the schools keep all the kids so it might be a little less crowded for our visit?!

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[Lynne G]

Cielei - I know - 8 days from now I will be in Orlando too. Wahoo! Just looked at rentals, and some lower prices, so I happily booked new and cancelled old. Saving money is always appreciated.

Happy Tuesday all!

oh, and here comes the rain!

I will try my best. I think you should be ok with crowds.

BINGO !!!
i kept thinking it was you........
well, we didn't get the baby birth announcement here so i needed to ask.

i bet she is beautiful!


5:45 am does not sound like a time anyone in their right mind would be working out in a gym.
especially if they work and have kids to take care of.
but, you are thinner now than when you were pg

We even made a little kiddie area in our gym, but of course she has no interest in staying there when Mommy and/or Daddy aren't with her.

when our babies begin to walk, it is a different type of life.
you spend yours walking after them.

Thanks Raven! Yep, I've been known to stalk the rental websites. I never pay up front for a rental , so you can cancel a rental up to the last minute. I like to rent, as I like to come and go as I please, and I don't mind parking at the Portofino, as I still find the total price not that bad, and we tend to eat some meals offsite, even when at Universal. We're going to try the Teak place Metro recommended one night.

Four boys! Ugh, I have enough with a boy and girl. Done. And yes, my life has definitely changed once the first one was born.

Cielei - 6 more sleeps before a very early morning flight.

I can't wait!

Funny story about this trip ... DH has to be in Chicago for meetings first part of the week before we leave, and instead of coming back here to go with us, he was just going to meet us in orlando. We had booked our tickets and then he booked his 3 destination ticket. They routed him back through MSP to get to orlando and he is on our flight. Things just work out sometimes.

Humpdty Hump all

thank you for the birthday wishes!

had nice trip, stayed at MGM which is akin to a small city, over 5,000 rooms. Lovely poolscape with tons of eye candy. Finally found a place where the poolside drinks cost more than at Portofino. Caught the cirque show there - KA,

1st time we've ever lost $ hmmph lol but still came home 'winners' imo. went to see a show at other end of the monorail
http://www.raidingtherockvault.com/
had a great time, really put on a show. Got back to our room and discovered my iphone was missing. Apparantly, I was rocking out a bit too much & it slipped out of my small crossbody purse. Find my phone indicated it was still at the other hotel, miles away. called security and they said I'd have to wait until showroom was cleaned. Finally, called back & it was turned in. Surprised, thought it was long gone & somebody's new ipod.

Yep, we still have to buy our tickets too.



I have had pink eye once, never again. I did not know what it was and by then I infected both eyes, lol.

I want to play in the snake/ball pit!!![/QUOTE]

I would expect nothing less

Have a great trip.........hope you're lucky

Snakes.......I hate snakes



I had to look up pink eye.......never heard that expression........we say conjunctivitis.......pink eye sounds quite pretty........but, I know it's not

No thanks for the snake/ball pit..........ugh!! Nightmare.........might make a good HHN house though

you & Indy...I hope the designers aren't reading this thread, might get ideas

Vicki - so sorry to hear of your accident. Bad enough to be hurting but to have to worry about the financials is icing on the crap cake. Sounds as though you were t-boned. Not sure how your state rolls as to insurance, but you may want to explore your options if the other driver has been assigned fault. good luck

a gal after my own heart You must share the site(s). I've only casually looked @ redweek and the owners all seem to want payment in full at time of booking.

Wahoo, it's Wednesday! Whopper Wednesday, OMG Wednesday, Camel Wednesday. Any photo? Bluer - I'm looking at you!

Keisha, glad you got home safe even though a little lighter in the pocket. Glad to hear your phone was found. My DD lost hers at school, never to be found.

For the car websites, I try Alamo and National, with codes I find on the DIS or Mousesavers. I also try BJ's and Costco's. Then I look at Hotwire and Priceline. It's always a pool shoot. Sometimes closer gets cheaper, sometimes not. I was glad I booked my Christmas rental 2 months ahead, as the prices seem to get higher the closer. As this is the slower end of August, prices seem to drop about 2 weeks out. I did change from National to Alamo. I like either of them at the Orlando airport. I think Budget may be a little cheaper, but I won't use them in Orlando. Hertz never again either.

In 6 days we'll be flying to the Dark Side.

I hope this is ok, but it's funny!
