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

Butterbeer ice cream > Hot Butterbeer > Frozen Butterbeer > Regular Butterbeer. Just my opinion. But you definitely need to try them all to decide for yourself. Universal was crazy crowded today. Valet closed since at capacity. Waited 60 minutes SR for Gringotts.

didn't like the hot or regular bb.
not my thing but did try them.

i love the frozen bb and tried the BB ice cream on both trips last year.
of course in the january trip ice cream was not the best choice but liked it enough to hit it again two different days on the october trip.

did you see a lot of tour groups when you went yesterday?
with school not starting back until the 6th, i figured the crowds would still be in the parks down there.

Well, it was 50 today, with a high of 20 by Thursday. Brrrr. Snow coming too. Trying to join Mac in that Arctic cold arriving this week.

Hope all are doing well, as this is the back to work, back to school time.


Stay warm!

Lynne G, i swear you had a heat wave today........50, that is kind of like shorts weather to me.

right now we are down to 8 degrees.
w/c is worse.

but i am enjoying this fine weather as much as i can tonight as tomorrow it gets worse.

i am always willing to share my Artic cold front weather with you.
that is the type of homie i am.....

Sharky, do what it takes to get to orlando and meet up with the gang.
make it the second sunday of the month if you have to.
i'll still be there.

yea, if you fly, you don't have all that down time in traveling by car.
don't wait until the last minute to book your room onsite.




Bluer, you too !!
book your stay so you don't have to deal with it later.

but then, you do go about every 2-3 weeks in the summmer and i'm guessing you have those dates already thought out.

you are a lucky ducky getting to be able to be close enough that you can do multi trips through out the year.




if any of you homies are doing hhn, hook up with me and the gang that will be there in october.
we always love having more peeps.

Didn't see any tour groups at Uni today but we haven't been at the Disney parks in the last few days (well, we were at Blizzard Beach yesterday and Typhoon Lagoon this morning since it's been mid-80's) to see there. We'll be hitting those starting Wed since middle DS' girlfriend is coming to visit for a week and hasn't been to Disney since 2000.

 

[marciemi]

We do have our 2015 vouchers for HHN so let us know if you'll be doing any on a Sun - Thu night and we'd be glad to join you! So I guess if I whine about the fact that it's supposed to drop into the upper 30's Wed into Thu, of course on the day we're running the 5K at Disney at 6am, I won't get a lot of sympathy?

We went to Universal today despite the high crowd forecasts mostly just so the boys could hit all the water rides in IOA while it was warm.

marcie, i remember the pictures you used to show us from when you lived in Green Bay.


i know you will not have any of those "shoveling the drive way with 8 foot banks" anymore now that you are in the land of sunshine.




i bet you don't miss the snow shoveling.


last january one of my sons went with me to orlando.
when we were at the darkside the second week of january, the parks were full of tour groups.
was curious if they have started yet when you were there this past week.

 

[marciemi]

I'll let you know over the next two weeks on the tour groups. I miss Green Bay and snow exactly zero. I do miss Indy because I really liked it there. But of course it's not Orlando!

Hi everyone - Hope y'all had a wonderful holiday season!

It feels like I never have time to drop by anymore - Our cruise is in 5 1/2 weeks and I have done nothing that I am supposed to have done for that.

Have a great week!

i have a nephew named gabriel.
his nickname is Gabby.

not my favorite name but not my kid so no problem.
i sent you a picture of our snow we got.
haven't figured out how to post it on this thread....

And very nice the pictures were too........

Schumi,

Gabriel, not the most common name, but a healthy happy baby is great news. Sounds like a proud Grandma. Good news for all her family.

Yes it's not very common and I think there may be a reason for that..........anyways.........grandma called me this morning to say her daughter has been talked out of calling him that and dad got his way and he is now called Mason.......and everyone's happy, plus it suits their surname much better!! But yes, beautiful healthy baby



It's been sunny and cold today, so quite pleasant. I've asked mac to keep all that snow over there this time.......we usually get it two or three weeks after you do ........no thanks!!

Quiet day today.......not much going on........bit of housework and now sitting with a cuppa and two and a half men on TV.........DH is around somewhere......DS back at uni. Bit too quiet actually.

Hope everyone's doing ok........when is Janet due back......I forget.

and i'll be there tomorrow with Mr Mac for an appt.

i hate it all.


ok, now it is time for the Bluers and anyone living in the south to harp about the heat they are having.....

[Mrs bluer101]

[Lynne G]

We have snow.

 

[macraven]

[schumigirl]

I just spent nearly half an hour ........yep, that long trying to link my trip report on signature..........I did it before but could I remember how I did it!!

Eventually worked it out.......why is no-one ever around when I need help with stuff like this.

mac........kitties are gorgeous......cutest ever!!!

Lynne......hope snow isn`t too bad for you



Went to see new baby Mason this morning, oh he is gorgeous......and I forgot about that beautiful new baby smell.......didn`t want to put him back in his crib.....got to feed him too

Feeling pleased with myself today........been on treadmill for half an hour......I only got around to plugging it in the other day Half an hour isn`t long I know, but it`s a start.

Chicken, spinach and chick pea (yuk) curry for dinner tonight.........Don`t think the chick peas will go down well with the others.....but apparently they`re good for you. Hmm.

Anyhoots, it`s Tuesday already..........

 

[schumigirl]

lol.........I missed that

Too many pages for me to try and even catch up. Hope everyone had a great holiday season. Mac can the countdown to hhn start. I'm very sad that the app is not compatible with my new phone.

All I ask is homies don't forget about me. The wedding is less than 3 months away and things are getting crazy.
