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

Even above freezing, we still have snow.

Hope all had a good week-end.

Mac, I hope you heal soon. Taking the stitches out is the best part. Little snips, like sewing. Hoping DS gets better soon too, sorry to hear he needs more.

Tink, mmmmm food.

Time for a late dinner.

all this talk about food and i can't eat it.
but i can eat mush if i get hungry.

thanks LynneG.
i had salivary gland duct surgery and stitches come out of my neck and throat and the mouth, stents removal all come out on the 17th...........
i started the countdown minutes after i got out of surgery.
i type better than talking right now.
Mr Mac has never had this much silence out of me for years.
he might be enjoying this more than i am..

I've missed you. too!

A heat wave at 38? BRRRRRRRRRR~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!! I turn into a popsicle at 32 degrees. I still need a coat at 65 degrees.

Busy with laundry and packing today. I'm also spending too much time trying to plan meals. So many great places to eat, and only three days to stuff my face. I usually get so tired by the end of the afternoon that I can't remember what foods the restaurants have on the menu. This year I'll remember to look at the menus online before we get hungry and too ornery to use any brain cells. I know for sure that I want to go to Bob Marley. Three Broomsticks or the Leaky Cauldron, Mythos, Margaritaville, Finnegans, Hard Rock Cafe, and The Cowfish are all on the list of possibilities. Fooooooooood…..

i'm so sorry you always miss the joy of having snow for months on end.

since you have 3 days in the parks, you can get a lot of miles out of the food places if you plan it right.
i liked the 3 B's lunch menu so much better than Leaky Cauldron.
and it's not as crowded since it has been around a few years not.
the rush is for LC for a lot of families.

i can always get something great at HRC.
we have one in chicago and it's the basically the same menu as orlando's.
tell them it's your birthday and you get a free sundae, everyone does that....
you stand in a certain area and made to feel special.
well, if there are 20 others with you at that celebrating time, you'll still feel a little bit special.
i say tell them the entire family is celebrating their birthday when you go there.....
lunch hour is not packed but dinner can be depending on the day you go.

margarittaville is fun as a first timer.
i've been so many times, i just get a plain burger and call it dinner.

finnegans has 4 items on the menu i love.
the rest of the menu varies for me at times.

Mythos, i like their pizza.
i don't do mushrooms, risotto, and a few other things that draws peeps to that place.
great ambiance inside.

bob marley has a lush menu

cowfish isn't for me.
i don't do sushi at all.
haven't figured out yet if they use the same grill for burgers as they do for the fish items.


you have 7 places you want to hit on your trip.
plan now and you can hit them all!

you can diet when you come home from your vacation.
and this all comes from the book of Mac 101

A few pics if I can get them to load...had the hardest time this morning too so I just gave up....no luck...it used to give you size options but not now.

Sorry guys ...I'll try again later.

We had a great time yesterday...the pork was good...not as good as the old blueberry-pistachio but tasty nonetheless. After lunch we went back to the hotel and took a much needed nap since Danielle hadn't slept the night before and Trey and I had about 3 hours sleep. We awakened refreshed and ready for the Mardi Gras festivities. Trace Adkins was pretty good in concert.

We discovered Menchie's had dole pineapple sorbet...yum and you can sample all the flavors. I had the dole, watermelon and coconut flavors topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries...yum.

Now that I've made everyone hungry...I'm off for more fun.

i always say do the roller coasters after you stuff yourself with good food.
it will help your digestion system work the food out of you.

yep........I did Hulk one morning after missing breakfast........big mistake!!!! Much better to have something in your tummy before going on the rides. Not too much though.......lol


Bought DH a new shirt this morning.........talked him into getting a lovely shade of Purple.....not too dark.........he wasn`t sure about it all.......but I convinced him it was lovely......which it is.

Blowing a hoolie outside today.......and coldish.......

 

[buckeev]

i wasn't going to start posting until i was feeling better but give credit to buckeev for bringing me back here early......

i couldn't resist..

LOL...I have that effect on women...(especially the Gingers.)

 

[schumigirl]

We always have mini celebrations when counting days till we go to Orlando........our next one was 200 days.......just checked and it's already 191 days...........missed that one..........

One of my friends every year exhausts me with her planning......she is a micro manager extreme..........she called me earlier to ask me again if I'm sure she doesn't need dining reservations for Universal........

Then she wonders why I won't go same time as them!!! No.

 

[macraven]

gingers are a rare bred.

you have to love them or they will talk you to death.......


since i don't want the po po to throw you in the slammer for talking about the hotel stay in december, i'll not bug you anymore on the details.

that is what a nice homie i am.

Got kicked out of the Hogshead Tavern this afternoon while waiting for the kids to ride dueling dragons or Dragon's Challenge as it's now known.

All I wanted was a place to drink my rum punch and rest Danielle's frozen butterbeer that I paid $ for ...is it too much to ask that people buying stuff at the bar get a place to sit? A server from the 3 broomsticks politely asked me and another bar patron to move as our table was reserved for restaurant guests...okay so I take my 2 drinks and go outside.

The good news is the punch was the best I've had this trip even if I had to drink it leaning against a post outside.

The crowds are bad today...worse than this weekend...single riders line is our friend...really having a blast anyway.

 

[schumigirl]

Oh Vicki.......I thought you were going to tell us you had done something really naughty and had been forcibly removed........

Glad you're having a blast though with the kids I'll have to try the rum punch in September!!

that happened to me once when i was at the park solo.
had my bb and at the table near the bar.

TM was very kind and asked if i could move from the table so others could sit.
i said no, i can't.
she said, ok and walked away.
no incident at all.

another TM there came by later and told me if i bought something at the bar, i could stay to finish my bb drink.


tink, good thing you are staying at rpr and have the express passes since it is crowded today.
hope your weather and rest of your trip is fabulous!

OK - the Wednesday camel is ready for Spring. 9 more days until Spring.

Foggy morning. At least the rain is gone until this week-end. It's starting the April showers early.

Mac, hope you are feeling better.

Keisha, hope you are feeling better too.

Cool, so time for a cup of tea.

prettie kitties

mac u will be a very skinny Minnie soon eek must be starving! mending, even slowly, is a good thing...hang in there.

now I'm dreaming about mythos' 'old' pork dish, still miss it. so many loved it, wonder why they took it off menu?

no idea hot wax could get that 'hot' as to burn the skin? that salon needs to check their equipment, might be faulty.
