Something About Nothing ... #12

[Monykalyn]

Thanks for birthday wishes! Had to get license renewed today, stopped on way home and very little wait so yay!
Back later to catch up...also trying to decide on HHN tix!

Think I have the airfare worked out for cruise...and a few days in Universal beforehand.

 

[Sue M]

Pattyw loving the pics! Garden Grill yum, first time we went was 2 yrs ago in early Dec. we had an outside table so good view of ride. Love the farmhouse scene! Farewell to SSE. Closing soon to re-do. I hope they do a good job. I hate what they did to Test Track. Just stripped everything out and put in neon lights. Nothing in there now. How is that an improvement? Ugh. Hope they don’t do that to Space Ship. I still enjoy all the scenes and seeing Earth at the top!

Charade, hope stomach feels better soon. Sounds like lots of ginger ale for you! But yay for new windshield!

Thanks Robo. It takes a few days I read. Yesterday Walk was still painful. Going out in a few min to take dogs out, so will see how it goes. I may need that second injection.

 

[keishashadow]

Keisha- bummer on tech problems with travel sites!! Hope you can resume planning soon!! Your dinner sounds heavenly to this Polish girl!!Yum!!

We’re off to dinner at Garden Grill!

Dinner was good but do enjoy GG, one of our fav character meals both for the food & the interaction.

Unfortunately I will be at the mercy of the tour bus. I have a feeling I will be waiting in a few long lines. I will keep checking the app though.

I’d say ditch the tour bus and go rogue with uber, but probably not the best example for a chaperone to set lol

Pace yourself, slow & steady on the activities .

I enjoy SSE as is, maybe jazz it up when ride vehicle is backing down? I realize it’s a dark ride of sorts, but would like to see them brighten it up a bit. Find it difficult to especially see the caveman section.

 

[pattyw]

Charade- hoping the tour bus gets you to the park early!!

Monyk- yay for a cruise and a bonus UO trip!

Sue- yes don’t like the new Test Track at all!! Hope they don’t ruin SSE !! Take it slow with your hip!

Keisha- glad you enjoyed dinner! On ditching the tour bus!

SSE was evacuated when we were leaving the park! Glad we were ok and didn’t miss our dinner!

On our way to get my mom and say goodbye to my family! Then off to the airport!

Safe travels tonight Patty. What a great trip with family you had. Very much enjoyed the pictures you posted.

Quiet night, very cloudy, with an all rain day Thursday tomorrow. And that wind, makes you feel even cooler, as we did some errands, got the car gas, and stood in line, outside. As got a small cup of free water ice. Promo for first day of Spring. Hit the spot.

Since Whopper Wednesday, we were not in the mood, so we bought a pound of ground sirloin instead, and was a mom’s made burgers dinner. As little one said, much better tasting burgers. Yeah, and very little grease, as 95 perfect fat free. Made older one a patty melt. Little one and I had without bread, but little one did have crackers. She is also not fond of burger buns, and white bread.

 

[schumigirl]

Belated MonyK........hope it was a good one........

Patty Nice pictures.......glad you had a nice trip........

Keisha , yep.......lots of good kids around though.......but seen a few little horrors where parents either didn’t care or couldn’t be bothered their kids were tearing places up at times........did see one of the laziest mothers ever yesterday......shocking!! When one of the staff told her to keep them under control her reply beggared belief!!!



Had a beautiful day today.......weather is coming back nice again!!!! Cool tonight though..........

Relaxing day in Winter Park, nice lunch and then some shopping........had dinner tonight in a sushi restaurant recommended by the manager of Strong Water Bar.........he was right, it was divine!! Back to Strong Water for one drink and came back to our suite as we plan an early night........so many late nights and early mornings........but, love it!!!

We are to have bright sunshine next few days.....can’t ask for more.......

Think some park time tomorrow......this trip we haven’t focused so much on them, but fancy a day just chilling round both........we have had such a wonderful time and been very spoiled........

Always surprised when our trips are nearly over, but only 7 weeks till we’re back again.........

Time for a glass of wine............then bed!

Hope all is well with everyone.........

Lol, go rogue! Love it.
Thanks, I’m trying to pace. Went on a bit of a dog walk with friend and neighbour this afternoon. It was such a beautiful day (sorry Lynne, I feel guilty writing this!) but we took it slow.
I agree, add some interest going down, they could do better than black walls. But leave it alone!

Safe travels tonight! Glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the new Test Track. Once I saw a fight in the room they funnel you into after designing your car, on the ramp. They need to do better. It becomes a free for all getting up that ramp. It was 2 women :-0 both were escorted out. Crazy.
I love being evacuated on rides getting to see the back areas. We were evacuated on Matterhorn in DL.

I can’t eat Whoppers. Gives me bad heart burn. Home made much better! I made some burgers to bbq a few days ago. I mixed in some feta cheese, was yummy. I don’t like bun with it either. I find it too much. Haven’t had a patty melt in ages!
Our weather has been in 70s, so nice for everyone here off on Spring Break. But think it’s only getting up to 60s tomorrow, and possible rain by Friday evening.

Belated MonyK........hope it was a good one........

Sounds like a good day! I haven’t had the guts to try sushi in Florida lol! Kinda like trying to find good Chinese food there. And we have really good restaurants at home. But sad, our fav Japanese sushi restaurant is sold, so we are having our last lunch there next Wednesday, closing Thursday. Owner/ chef sold it and I’m sure the menu will change. His dishes were so good.

Don’t get me started on parents letting their kids run wild in public places. I said something once regarding the behaviour of a couple of kids to my friend. Apparently the mom overheard and said in a loud voice- my kids are awesome! Yep, ok.

Have a good night all.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I have seen such bad kid behavior, and I think most of the time, the apple does not fall far from the tree, as I have also seen some really bad behaving adults.

Not a sushi fan, though older one generally likes it. They actually have a sushi chef that comes to the camp they now work out. Little one is like me, will turn her nose up at it. She's not a fish fan, in any form, either. I like when a good local place is recommended, you enjoy it too. Glad to hear you are having a fabulous time, Schumi. And yay, to another countdown.

And, when your phone says 100 percent chance of rain this hour, until 4am tomorrow morning, you know a rainy Thursday is here. As with all the rain we have had, a slightly warmer day. Though, weather lady said almost cool, drenching rain most of the day, so it will certainly be wet. High is 51, so rain it is, and not that other wet stuff. 44 degree, windshield wipers going, commute. Opened the house door, yep, rain, and wet streets already. The 4am news said, rain had already started. Sigh. But on a good note: Tomorrow is Friday. Yay!

He He, so,

and remember, it's

.

Good Morning homies.

So tea for me, and all have that happy to drink liquid, and have a very nice Thursday.

Sue, I hope you are feeling better, and the hip gets no pain soon.

Healing mummy dust to all those homies, and family and friends of homies in sick bay. I hope all are feeling well now.

Hah, cars are honking loudly. Yep, It's going to be one of those days. Sniff, no horizon to see, dark as night still.

Later homies. oh and go rogue. I was a middle school chaperone once. Learned my lesson fast. Last and only time. I hope you still enjoy yourself, Charade. And hey, anytime you can get away, is a good one.

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family

Having my coffee this morning






Morning Lynne love the animal pics.

I like sushi.....So do the grandchildren. We always enjoy sushi having it at Cowfish while on vacation at Universal.

We have a local place here in that has great sushi. We are going there for lunch today. They have a sushi buffet that is awesome.


Have a great Thursday everyone.

 

[pattyw]

Patty Nice pictures.......glad you had a nice trip........

Thanks!! Enjoy the remainder of your trip!! The weather looks great!!

Relaxing day in Winter Park, nice lunch and then some shopping........

Ooh- can't wait to hear the details!

Safe travels tonight! Glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the new Test Track. Once I saw a fight in the room they funnel you into after designing your car, on the ramp. They need to do better. It becomes a free for all getting up that ramp. It was 2 women :-0 both were escorted out. Crazy.

Wow!! Yes- people can be "interesting"

Yeah, I have seen such bad kid behavior, and I think most of the time, the apple does not fall far from the tree, as I have also seen some really bad behaving adults.

You got it!! I always noticed when I volunteered at the kids' school when they were young that the kids that were to say it kindly " a handful" had parents that taught them to be that way!

We have a local place here in that has great sushi. We are going there for lunch today.

Sounds yummy!!

Happy Thursday!!

I'm a little( a lot!) bleary eyed!! Plane landed at 2 am- by the time we took my mom back home and got to bed it was after 4am. At work now- short day just to go through mail and organize myself. It was 49 this morning! Much better than expected. Snow moves in tomorrow- Ugh!!! Next week the forecast shows mainly highs in the 50s- and there's even a 60!!!

Hope Charade is feeling better today!

Sue- hope your hip feels better, too!!

Thanks. Trying to decide if I want to walk around the lake today or rest hip! It’s hard to stay home on a beautiful day. Also want to go to mall and pick up some skin products from The Ordinary. If you haven’t tried thus stuff yet, look it up. Fantastic products. My youngest told me about them.
Sushi at camp wow! My youngest worked at camp when she was in high school and first couple of years of college.
Stay dry!

Thanks!! Enjoy the remainder of your trip!! The weather looks great!!

That’s rough! Getting home at 4:00 AM and then to work! Hope you make it thru the day!

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, Patty's now back in the land of the living! LOL Yeah, after such a late arrival, I'd be a mess today. Glad to hear all safe though. Yeah, I am hoping to see no more white stuff falling from the sky. But, we have had Spring snow. Hoping that is not happening this Spring. Still raining here.

Sue, never heard of that brand, but will look it up. Is it only available where you are? Yep, a beautiful day does make you want to go outside. Maybe tomorrow for me. This rain is icky. All is wet, wet, wet.

 

[Lynne G]

Oops, hi Robo. Hope that morning coffee was good, and you are relaxing today. Always like seeing the funny minions you post.

 

[schumigirl]

Absolutely beautiful day today! 76F right now and it feels warmer which is lovely.......

Hot with a little breeze......almost perfect.........heading back to Suite to cool down a little soon........

Parks are busy, but lines didn’t seem too bad this morning.......walked on everything with EP, no waits at all.........

Few pictures of the works going on around JP..........especially for @keishashadow who asked for some if I was passing.........




















And the new addition the new Potter ride, right at the entrance......it is really coming along!

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I’m feeling much better today than I was Tuesday and Wednesday. Last night I was finally able to eat something.
B and I spent some time at the mall today. We picked up a dress that I had ordered for her from JC Penney only to discover that the zipper had been put in incorrectly. It’s going back and a replacement has been ordered. We also got a new lipstick for her prom makeup. B has been practicing doing her own makeup and has been happy with the results. I’ll save some money on hair and makeup this year.

I’d say ditch the tour bus and go rogue with uber, but probably not the best example for a chaperone to set lol

It’s tempting, but I won’t do that. I thought about spending some extra to upgrade to a park hopper, but decided to just stick to the itinerary as planned.

Quiet night, very cloudy, with an all rain day Thursday tomorrow.

It rained here most of the day today. It was miserable this morning, but when I got off work today the sun was out.

Sounds like a good day! I haven’t had the guts to try sushi in Florida lol! Kinda like trying to find good Chinese food there.

I was going t argue with you, but started thanking and I can’t remember eating much Chinese food when we lived i Miami. Kind of surprising since they had a good variety of ethnic food there.

I was a middle school chaperone once. Learned my lesson fast. Last and only time. I hope you still enjoy yourself, Charade. And hey, anytime you can get away, is a good one.

I think we are just going to have to do light chaperone duty. Mostly headcounts on busses and bed checks.

I'm a little( a lot!) bleary eyed!! Plane landed at 2 am- by the time we took my mom back home and got to bed it was after 4am. At work now- short day just to go through mail and organize myself.

You are a braver woman that I. We are supposed to get back from out trip at 11 a.m. Itold my boss not to expect me in that day.

The big news of the day is that B’s prom dress finally came in. It took almost 6 weeks. She has an appointment Saturday for alterations. The dress needs to be shortened and taken in some at the top. Here is a picture of what it looks like.

The picture does not do it justice. The dress shimmers in the light and you can see blue, green, and even a little black in it.

 

[Lynne G]

Glad you are feeling better Charade, and are eating some now. Very pretty dress. So nice she likes a ball gown dress. Little one would not been seen in a dress like that. I tried hard to get her to pick a royal blue one very similar to B’s dress that was gorgeous on her, but it was a loud no. Oh well. I hope B has fun, and no too many alterations needed. Little one does her own makeup for every day, but for prom, she likes to be more formal, as all the girls around her do. Pictures, ya know.

And, as of 4:45 am today, we have no power. Good thing DH and I wake up without an alarm, and lucky, I had my phone charging next to my bed. Nice it’s flashlight works well enough to see. Off to take a shower, and get dressed. Without the heater working, it needs electricity to spark the flame, so house is feeling cool, I may leave a little earlier. Here is hoping kids answer their phone. Windy sounding outside. Sigh.

And this is Friday!

 

[Sue M]

Beautiful dress Charade. Chinese food in Florida....guess my opinion is coloured by my experiences. We’ve tried a few places in past years, none were good. So haven’t tried in quite a number of years. It’s not a must for me, as we have so many good ones at home, so I’d rather experience food we don’t have home.

 

[Sue M]

Ah, Patty's now back in the land of the living! LOL Yeah, after such a late arrival, I'd be a mess today. Glad to hear all safe though. Yeah, I am hoping to see no more white stuff falling from the sky. But, we have had Spring snow. Hoping that is not happening this Spring. Still raining here.

Sue, never heard of that brand, but will look it up. Is it only available where you are? Yep, a beautiful day does make you want to go outside. Maybe tomorrow for me. This rain is icky. All is wet, wet, wet.

The Ordinary (under the Deciem umbrella) is a small skin care company. They don’t have many brick & mortar stores. We’re just lucky there’s one here. I think there’s only 3-4 in the US. New York (I don’t know where, prob the city, Chicago, and somewhere else). But you can order online. They have a US web site.
I never heard of it till last year from daughter. So far I’ve been really happy with the products I’ve bought. As I run out of products I’ve been replacing with The Ordinary.
Possible rain for us tomorrow night.

 

[Lynne G]

Hey all you homies.

Well, about a 20 minute earlier, still raining and very wet commute, and seems like the traffic is about the same. And, ooh, step out the door, can't see. Bad hair day alert. Hair tie ready, and puffy hair day alert too. Extra reason for that hair tie.

Oh, thanks for the info on that skin care company, Sue. May take a ride up to NYC, and goggle where all that stuff that isn't found around my City can be found.

With that, it is a Friday, and that needs some reminders:

oh yes, and

to all the homies. And oh,

. Wow, that was big. Oops.

So, then more needed:

and

.

 

[macraven]

Liked Lynne’s Friday animal gallery of pics

Charade, daughters dress is gorgeous!
She will feel beautiful in it

Sue it’s greqt you found a skin care company you like that is near you

Happy shopping!

Last work day of this week
Enjoy the upcoming weekend homies
