Yup, Friday. We're doing a long weekend in Holland MI. Looking at restaurants just now and found one that offers your age as a percentage discount on your birthday. Over 50% off...I'm there!

Knew I forgot to say something today duh

Have an amazing trip! See you soon

Hated suitcase I ordered (way too narrow), back to Macy's to get another, got it home and zipper was broken. Tromped back to store, growled at the clerk when asked why was I returning a 2nd one...want my shoe size too? Wound up ordering replacement online since they couldn't find the stock in the store. Local store has the snootiest clerks, hate shopping there but one of only places that carry the brand I wanted. Ah well, done with them until Black Friday - yea!

Thank you........she looks gorgeous in the pictures! Think her name is going to be Maya........but not sure yet........

Time flies, don't worry the packing will get done......can't leave without it........



Almost bedtime here........5 sleeps

Nice name, other than the poet, don't know of anybody with it.

Carole...congrats on baby Maya...it's a lovely name, hope she keeps it.

goND ...Hope you have fun and safe travels.

I spent the morning looking for my old video tape of Nightmare before Christmas so I could get the pumpkin song out of my head. I've been singing it since we decided to go to MNSSHP. I finally found it in a box of old Disney tapes in my storage building. So of course this started a movie marathon which included Sleeping Beauty, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Guess I'll just have to watch my HHN prep movies next week. I really only need to watch Murder House as I missed it the first time around.

Only 11 more days to go...wish I could be there for the big meet up on the 9th...I'll just have to make it a longer trip next year.

You will be missed. Bought a jack skeleton inflatable . The mr has been playing the video clip for me for weeks...This is Halloween, everybody scream!

Quiet night.

Had HS football game tonight. We won 35-7 and it's homecoming. Early, we know. Undefeated. Next week we play a team we haven't beaten in 40 years. YAY
lol! It'll fit into my little tight schedule before I head to Universal!
IT'S ALMOST HERE!! 1 week and a few hours form now I'll be OMW to the darkside!!!

We eat, sleep and then talk HS football to death here. Oldest 2 DS are coaching one of the larger schools here this year. Horrible past record, didn't even have a weight program, let along a youth football feeder program. Rare to have kids come out for varsity who have never played a 'real' game. It's going to be a loooong year.

Shout out to PITT btw!

Well it was hot in the fields today
93 and sunny

We were there around 10:30 and left after 3:30 today

One of the better civil war reenactments

At this one the boys from Alabama were victorious and the South won

I get the feeling that will be the theme of them when we go to other reenactments in the South

DH, like all good sons of the south, has a rebel flag. His family is very proud of their roots. Would never, every fly the colors as it's been bastardized into standing for all sorts of exactly what is wrong with the country, a shame such hatred hides behind a flag.

Will say I warned to never utter the name Sherman in front of my MIL lol.

Lol Robo.........love that flying minion........

It is awesome!

I'm guessing yesterday's outing pooped her out

Lol

Or maybe she is on another vacation she did not share with us

She does the best trips all the time!


If she does not surface soon, we will send the doggies out to find her

This was me yesterday



The zoo is built on a large hillside...up and down...lots of cardio. Good prep for the upcoming trip. Making like flamingos at the start of first trek up hill.

Happy Burffday Schimster!

 

[macraven]

He is Friday, so a TGIF dude. Party hardy for sure.

He should have fun if he starts the birthday party Wednesday and have it run to midnight on Friday

 

[macraven]

So Keisha has a good reason for being MIA


Note accepted since you threw in The flamingo Schlick

 

[tinydancer09]

Tinyd I hope you received an A for bravery. I would have taken a diversion out of the class room door....LOL

A friend told me rattlesnake tasted like chicken. I took his word for it. Not going to try it.

Hoecakes are good if their made right
They eat them here too. I took care of a young lady once many years ago who had a terrible infection in her hand she got from pickin (cleaning chitlins to cook). Was getting IV antibiotics. Not for me either.
Have always found it interesting what people eat in different areas of US.

Well, it was a program I was selected for. "Leadership for the Millennium" and it wouldn't have been very great of me to turn down an opportunity handed to me. We had different classes every month... or every 2 weeks? I can't remember. That just happened to be one of them. It was definitely something to remember. I don't remember what it tasted like as I couldn't get past the texture. They didn't force us to. They even said we didn't have to if we couldn't stomach it... but alas.. I tried my best to show my appreciation for being selected for the group by participating in everything. They even took us on a trip to Savannah. If I remember correctly it was free, or nearly free to us.

 

[tinydancer09]

Ate breaded fried alligator as they said it tastes like chicken. Ummm, a fish fan I am not, so I did not eat much of it. And no, it did not taste like chicken. Ate breaded fried frog legs too, and well, that was a one and done too. I am not a very adventurous eater. I would not do eel or hopefully not brain either.

Muggy night, and made pepper steak for dinner. Tasty.

Ah, Squirlz is another September baby, note that Mac.

I've had gator, but not in a long time. I don't remember it being the most vial thing I've ever eaten, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
To this day no matter how many times dad joked that frog legs and chicken lips were for dinner I have not actually tried frog.
I'm actually a very picky eater despite the fact that I've tried apparently an odd selection of food.

Went to the cinema afternoon show of Sulley

Thought the movie was played out well

Enjoyable afternoon

I want to see that! Maybe when I get back from Orlando.

 

[tink1957]

I'm a little late but to Carole...hope you had a fun day...I know you'll be celebrating on the darkside. Happy travels too! See you next week.

I finally read the new Harry Potter play today, it was good but not as good as the books. I would love to see it performed on stage though.

After I was done reading I gave my mud monster Sasha a much needed bath and wound up drenched and covered in dog hair but she looks and smells pretty so it was worth it.

Frog legs do taste like gamey chicken tinyD...not my favorite but not bad.

Good night to all

 

[schumigirl]

Happy Birthday Schumi!! Hope you're having a great day. My birthday is Friday.

Thanks Squirlz.........hope you have a great birthday on Friday too.........eat drink and be merry........it's good for you.........

Yep..........see you soon.......yay..........and still love that pic of you and GD........she is so cute!

Happy Burffday Schimster!

Thanks Vicki........yep, celebrating starts tomorrow......well tonight I suppose...........

I got into trouble with school in France for not eating frogs legs......yuk! No escargot for me either........yet I love mussels.......and any kind of shellfish or seafood I suppose........

Is she large Vicki........nice to have a fresh smelling dog around!




Well, as usual.....not much sleep last night........I swear I'm going to arrive in Orlando and sleep for 3 days! Hope not.........does anyone sleep on nights leading up to a trip! And don't usually sleep much tonight either even though the hotels beds are heavenly to sleep on usually.

So, got a few things to do this morning and last minute packing.......toiletries and such.......long as we have passports really we're good to go.........and that is what you call a non rambling pre trip report.........wasn't too long after all Janet........

Youse guys.......see ya all soon...........

 

[Lynne G]

Well, and Keisha needs a camel, even though she was at the zoo.

yeah, and a beautiful summer day again. Sunny, and just so warm, in the 90's again. May have a record high temp today. DD was much better today, shorts and T shirt that didn't look like she was going to the gym.

Poor Kiesha. Our Macy's in our local malls aren't too bad. Mostly nice clerks, if you can find them. Never bought luggage from them, but have ordered online from them.

Gosh, it's getting so close for all you traveling in later September!

Silly girl
You need to do your countdowns not by how many more sleeps you have in the countdown but to do a countdown with how many more wake ups you have


No one sleeps on the night before a trip...
It's too much of an exciting time to sleep

Use wake ups on the next countdown for future trips

 

[keishashadow]

I sleep before a trip, enough Benadryl will put down an elephant

Mud monster has a great ring to it lol

Skipped the book, took a peek at the store and just couldn't get past the stage directions. Isn't JK releasing short stories now/soon?

If 'they' say it tastes like chicken, run away, fast is my motto.

Our zoo no longer has cool: Dolphins, Sharks or a camel boohoo. The aqua zoo staff has a rather bad habit of what we call the favorite animals going 'on vacation'.

Hours wasted last night and this morn talking to Direct TV as to why my system is glitching/freezing up/DVR'd stuff not playing back arrrrgh. Only have main set working at this point. Going to be one of those days, have DIL and GD coming for me to re-make a store bought Halloween costume that came in wrong size. Whee

 

[tinydancer09]

I apparently forgot to post this last night! I was too excited the rates coming out for November.

We eat, sleep and then talk HS football to death here. Oldest 2 DS are coaching one of the larger schools here this year. Horrible past record, didn't even have a weight program, let along a youth football feeder program. Rare to have kids come out for varsity who have never played a 'real' game. It's going to be a loooong year.

Shout out to PITT btw!

No weight program? Yikes. Young teams can be fun to watch... You never know what to expect!
It's so great to see the now freshmen that started with this type of team as seniors. Usually by that time the team as built so much it's amazing to look at how far they've come!
Just one of those times that you have to take a deep breath and focus on all the things they're doing right and how far they've come than think of how far they still need to go. I do that with my dance girls. They're in no means the cream of the crop, but they're having fun and they've come so far in so little time.

PITT?



Soooooo!!!! I'm only 4 days out.
I just adjusted my rate for November trip. Its down from 847 to 570. SOOO incredibly excited about that.
Anyone considering a November trip should check it out. November 15-18 I got $169 a night standard RPR.

TinyD - I think Keisha means University of Pittsburgh. She's from the Steel City ya know - that town on the OTHER side of our state.

It's been a long day so far. After three very large cups of tea, it's still only a little after three. But the sun is still shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky today again. Can see for miles into the sky. Was so weird to see the moon last night, way before the sun set. Still summer.

 

[Lynne G]

HeHe Keisha, our zoo does have camels when the weather's warm. They come from a local farm. They are funny. Some refuse to come out of the barn. The guy said sometimes they are lazy. Maybe they're smarter than we are? We just had one of our gorillas have a baby, so that's been all over the news. We just opened that beer garden, and it's been well received. I hope it brings in a lot of money for the zoo. I think the only time they served alcohol was during a private or paid for event. We don't have elephants anymore though. Was not enough room. Our zoo is really old, but locked in the neighborhood. They built a really nice car garage, that helps with finding a parking spot. We'll be visiting soon, they do boo at the zoo, and it's fun to see the kids dressed up, and watch the animals get pumpkins and other fall treats.

PITT is it, well it was where I sent tuition checks for awhile lol

Ok, in the proper vernacular , the Pittsburgh Panthers; who almost let Penn State steal the first reincarnation of the old-skool rivalry out from under us - eek.

Our zoo used to have a camel but he went 'on vacation' after he bit one too many guests. The gorilla baby here is getting big but still cute how he rolls around. They used to have the boo-zoo @ night with a bit of scary twist, now during the day even the kids think it's a snooze. One of the reasons none ever wanted to do SeaWorlds Halloween weekend thing.

 

[macraven]
