Happy Mother's Day Schumigirl. Sounds like you have had a great weekend.

Mac- you'll have an easy, boring drive down.

Spring has sprung here. 70's and 80's here. Been working outside getting the yard and pool ready. Gotta detail my truck tomorrow it's been months since I cleaned it.

Sounds like everyone is doing well. Next trip home for us is 30 days out! It's been too long! Definitely will be back in June and sometime sept/ oct. looked at rooms last night...trying to plan our stay to have the chance for the most meetups.

Thanks PC..........weather sounds glorious there!!! 30 days till another trip......lucky ducky.........

booked the RPR Luau for the second Saturday I'm there! Been a lazy Sunday. Went to go have breakfast late, so ended up at Red Lobster instead lol

You'll enjoy it Robbie........very fun show and the cocktails were quite potent!!! I thought it would be mainly juices......but the Mai Tai had a kick! We love Red Lobster.........our American friends always tease us about it though.........lol.......

Ditto!!

And @macraven - I will claim the 'crazy chicken lady' ROFL!

No one here is terribly fond of potato salad- loaded baked potatoes OTOH...

Hope you get that robe @RAPstar! OT has gotta be good for something

Thanks MK..........crazy chicken lady........ Now I have an image in my head.........



Strange weather here..........last night had the clearest coldest night in a while.......DS and I ended up outside watching the Northern Lights as we could see a little over the sea.......it was glorious to see what we did........not as clear as further up North, but nice. Then we saw the amount of stars we could see, so up to attic and brought his telescope outside.......amazing! Saw some constellations we haven't seen before.........DH thought we had lost the plot as it was freezing, he went to bed........then later we came in when cloud came over.........we were both shivering at that point.......crazy!

Woke this morning to snow! It is absolutely freezing........won't be going far today........got friend coming to me for her lunch, bit of housework and a bit of planning for NY.......11 weeks till we go.......... ..and that'll be Monday again!

Hope yours is a good one too..........

Yep, I'm with you Schumi. It's cold outside. That's what was etched in the ice on my car this morning. Today is another day I had to scrape ice off the car windows. It's beautiful sun now, so I am hoping it won't be as cold later today. We may even hit 70 the next three days. I hope so. I'm ready for some warmer weather.

Enjoyed the flower show, and had a nice lunch with DD. Came home with some flowers, and some treats from a lovely Italian bakery that was in the market next to the convention center where the flower show was.

Got my Disney ticket and entered it in MDE, so my Mickey part is ready. I am hoping to see APH rates for my Universal stay, but so far, nothing better than the SMSM, that seems high priced so far. Trip is far away still. Hoping to see more HHN info soon.

Have a great day all!

Where are you from, Lynne? I keep thinking you're further south but based on your weather comments I'm guessing not. When will you be at WDW? I'd love to come say hi and buy you a drink (park permitting!) if I can work it out and you'd want to meet.

Hi Maci, I'm in the same state as Keisha, but I live at the other end, and her and I have about a 2 and 1/2 hour plane ride to Orlando. I've love a DIS meet with ya, and I can happily bring you a treat from where I live. We're known for tastykakes and soft pretzels, but I also live about 2 hours drive from Hershey, and have my DH's family out that way, so chocolate treats too. I'll be at NOFQ from 2 to 8 October, then moving to RPR from 8 to 14. I have a 7 day ticket with Mickey and my AP with Universal. Don't know any park schedules yet, but since it's just me, I can adjust and I'll also have a rental, so as we get closer, I'll PM you my cell number. I do hope to say hi to ya in person.

Ah cool - hoping to meet a bunch of folks in October if we can avoid the car accident thing like last year! I guess I was thinking since you talked about tickets & MDE that you were within 30 or 60 days and coming soon. And thanks for filling me in on the location - don't know why I kept thinking you were in FL somewhere. I'll see you in Oct - it'll be here before you know it!

Happy Monday everyone!

To Schumi and the other UK moms... Happy belated Mother's Day!
Thanks to everyone who wished my middle DS a Happy Birthday! He said his Butterbeer birthday cake was "amaze-balls" (which apparently means amazing...I'm too old to know what's cool, and I also have no idea who FallOut Boy is/are?!?) He also requested keilbasa and peirogi for his birthday dinner. My first time making peirogi from scratch and they were delish (I don't mind tooting my own horn over those! Yum!)

Keisha, I just finished reading what you have posted in your trip report...so scary! I am so happy you guys made it out of there safely, eventually. Here's hoping Uni gets on the ball with some safer crowd control measures!

Looking forward to the warmer days we are supposed to get this week.

And a big to pepperandchips! I loved reading your trip report, glad you came here to hang out!

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks Kivara........glad your boy enjoyed his cake...........



Waiting patiently for 9pm for WD............ Who'd a thought it...............

St L how long of a drive for you to Orlando?

I'm thinking of flying for my long vacation but doing car trips for the shorter ones

I think it will be scary the first time I drive but will get used to it
The longest drives I have done solo have been 6 hours

Did your wife get her vacation schedule yet?

It's about a 12 to 13 hour drive which is very long but I rather drive it and spend about $180.00 in gas versus over $800.00 to fly and plus my DW's boss still hasn't given her the OK on the date yet cause she really wants to go 6/26-7/3 but may have to go the week before .

 

[macraven]

St L as long as the two of you can take the vacation, it's secondary on how you get there.

I hope the work schedule is handled soon so you can make plans.

I don't like long car rides anymore
I used to until we made two trips to Georgia within Two days apart
13.5 hours in the car got on my nerves

Start planning how you will spend your time at the darkside

 

[schumigirl]

 

[schumigirl]

Definitely a long drive StL.........but least it's a journey worth making............you have driven before haven't you? I seem to remember previous trips you mentioned...........

Yep, Tuesday again.........yep, up far too early after very little sleep........glad I'm on my own today........if I get grouchy I only have myself to be grouchy with..........

Cold again, but to be warmer as week goes on.......but winds to come back and rain.........I need some sunshine

Happy Tuesday...........

 

[macraven]

Tuesday is now but camel day comes next

Think Keisha will bring her pet camel tomorrow for show and tell here ?

I guessed you'd still be up..........lol.......

Yes where is Keisha with her camel???? We miss her when she doesn't post..........

Yep, I finally made a rule in my house to my teens, no camping on the pot with your phone in hand.

Yes it is. A beautiful 40 degree start to a hopefully 70 degree afternoon. And a little cloudy, but sunny day. Sending some sun to Schumi to warm away the grumpy.

Looking over the rentals and airfare for October. Both still higher than what I have already booked. Ummm, I still hoping for reductions.

Getting ready for our time change this week-end. Cannot believe we will be in daylight savings already. I need my sleep! LOL. And almost light when I get up, will be in the dark next week. Knowing my DD, if she has a game on Sunday morning, which she may, I'll have to hold her down in bed to get her to sleep early on Saturday night. She is not a morning person. Soccer (well football to the rest of the world) tournament this week-end. Busy for me, as I also have to attend my niece's baby shower in between the games.

Enjoy this spring like weather, like I am today, all!

 

[macraven]

Hahahahahhahahaha
No phone camping while on the pot

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

Yeah DW is getting pretty upset that her boss hasn't given her a answer yet and the only planning I am doing right now is figuring out if I am going to get 4 day park to park or if we want to go every day and then I will get the 3 park unlimited tickets

 

[schumigirl]

I'm still laughing on that funny

I'm laughing at you laughing I can hear you in my head............lol.........

About to start dinner.........baked salmon and veggies with baby pearl potatoes..........been a very lazy day today.......and definitely not grumpy anymore.........

11 weeks today till I go back to NY..........

Hello everyone! Just stopping by to say HI and let you know we are still alive. We have been extremely busy lately. My mom is back in the hospital again so I have been dealing with that. DH is being the support team and DS is helping too. Mom is in surgery now so I have to keep my mind on other things. Will keep you posted.

Sorry we missed so much so hear is a blanket for everything. Happy belated Mother's Day, and Happy Birthdays. Hope everyone is feeling better. Just keep thinking warm thoughts and the warmer weather will be around in no time. If I'm missing anything I'm sorry. My head isn't right these days. Hoping for a relaxing weekend.
