Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Kholby your day out sounded fabulous. ICE at GP is something my nephew and his girlfriend are doing this week again sometime........she's like me and despises the cold, so never looks forward to it.......lol.........keep trying with the butterbeer.........Did you enjoy Antojitos? Hear very mixed reviews on that place..........



Supposed to be sleeping late today..........but, DH left very early this morning and have been awake since then......think I'll get up.......my plan today is to wrap presents and get presents for friends and their kids out to them........and not much else today or tomorrow.........

A high of 8C for us today.......which is around 46F.........not bad for the time of year......

Happy Monday......

Oh Kohlby, the older I get, the less I like the cold. Since my kids have no interest in seeing ICE, we'll probably give it a pass again. And yes, isn't it nice when the kids don't destroy the house, and you get to have some twosome time together? Sorry to hear the butterbeer trial failed. At least you're close enough to taste Universal's for quality checking.

Mom3, safe travels today. Hope you had fun with the mouse last night. We'll be doing it Thursday, so like to hear your thoughts on it. And, yes, mother nature gave us a 26 today, so you'll be reminded it's December here returning home. You'll have missed the rainstorm that gave us a 59 degree start to yesterday, though that quickly fell to low 40's by afternoon. Also don't have to shovel, as the southern rainstorm washed away all the snow and ice. Everything's gray now. Oh, and thanks for the picture of the milkshakes. I only ate at the quick service part of it, and didn't have a milkshake, but really enjoyed watching them make them. Kids get a peek later this week.

Yep Mac, agree with your shorts temperature limit. We were swimming when the temperature was 62. Hope to be swimming soon. Getting closer to hopefully much warmer weather. And my DS is a shorts wearer. I told him to bring a pair of sweats or jeans for the way back. He showed me basketball shorts that went below his knee. Said, these will be fine, I don't think I need anything heavier. Yep, even the 26 today, he'll probably be in shorts. Heavier jacket though.

Well, those that saw Rogue One, what did you think? It was kinda sad, I wasn't expecting that. We all liked it. I want to see Sing, but the kids are not as interested. I'll probably see it when I get back, hopefully it's still playing somewhere close to me.

And yay! Schumi's wrapping gifts and had an early start. Hope you are enjoying this Monday before Christmas.

So, Schumi's right, it's Monday, and that means:

and that means for me:

and a hehe:

Now where is Monday morning cat and coffee pics ??


Looking at weather channels and seeing the snow, ice and cold temps makes me know moving was the best decision I have made as an adult

 

[Lynne G]

Morning Mac! Hope your coffee was hot.

Morning Sans family . Hope everyone is well and in the Christmas spirit.
House chores, laundry and errands today.

Lynne my son who is the Star Wars fan said he liked Rogue One. He said he would call it Star Wars 3.5. He has seen all the movies. I liked it to and that is without seeing 1,2,3,7.

Schumi and Keisha one of the big cinemas in town has three theatres they call the Royal Suites. They only have about 34 seats in each one and they are all adjustable recliners. They serve food, soft drinks, cocktails, wine and beer. I took grandbabies there before Thanksgiving to see Fantastic Beasts and I was sold on the place.

I don't like big cinemas and had not been to movies in a long time, but after going to the Royal Suites twice i will be back. It's a very roomy and nice upscale environment for only a few dollars more then the regular cinema.

Mac I have had my fill of coffee this morning.

Kohlby glad to hear you and hubby had nice night out.

Have a great Monday everyone.

We almost went to Antojitos last Monday. Looked at the menu and it seemed pretty pricey so we decided to gt to Circus McGurkus and get the spaghetti that had looked pretty good. They were inundated with Brazilian tour groups. Tried Mythos, people waiting everywhere. Ended up at Confiscos which wasn't too bad, except I got a text that an old friend had passed away.

 

[Cielei]

It's been a while. and I am so not caught up, but I wanted to drop in and say hello. Hope everyone is having a good holiday season and staying warm.

 

[macraven]

Hey there !

I just love when all the homies come back here around Christmas time



Still freezing your butt off up north?
I wished UO and left that area for Georgia
I do not miss snow just in case you were wondering ....


Your boys must be bigger now
Think they would be 13 and 14 by now

Hope you and your family has a wonderful Christmas

Well, we start this day with an almost sunny start, and 20 degrees. Just cold and so ready for some warm weather. Awww, little one does not fall far from the tree. She was cold last night, and jumped in the car to do some errands with me. She set the car's heater to 85 degrees. I said, that's what we'd be enjoying shortly. She said she could get used to that. Countdown is now one. One more day, well, actually 2, as we don't arrive until after midnight. But, since we leave tomorrow, it's one day! Yippee!

So sad to hear of friend's passing Squirlz. Glad to hear you still found a place to eat even with the crowds. I have never ate there, but maybe. My kids have now said they want to go to Universal, and we're offsite. At least parking will be free. I'm going to make them get up really early. After seeing the crowds in CityWalk one Christmas Day evening, I am preparing to be squished and waiting. We'll take advantage of single rider where we can.

Enjoy your Tuesday homies. Get that coffee out, it's going to be a cool day. Lucky if we get out of the 20's. Hot tea, here I come.

 

[macraven]

I'm still stunned that you would do UO Christmas week and be off site



Take pics of those crowds for me
You never know if I would try to brave that week someday

I'm sure you are packed and ready to leave!
Wishing warm sunny weather for you in Orlando !

Enjoy the vacation !

Lynne G we just came back last night after midnight to this cold. Wanted to cry when we stepped out of the airport. Those 85 degree days are gone for us, sooo jealous your trip is about to begin It always goes sooo fast!! Good luck with the crowds. We could def tell Mon the crowds were picking up

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah Mac. I am a glutton for punishment. Well, just looked up the unlimited express pass for 3, for one day, it's still cheaper than one day at the cheapest hotel. I guess i will play it by ear. If the kids want express pass, I might just splurge for 1 day of it. I will definitely post pictures. (may have to get little one show me how to do it from my phone.) Getting ready.

If you do decide to get express passes do not stand in the guest services line right outside the gate!! There are people set up as you go inside the park at little booths near the map stations where you can buy them. Never saw anyone in those lines and the lines out front were horrible so I can only imagine

 

[macraven]

Fastest way would to order online and do kiosk pick up

Lynne, in case I miss you have a wonderful trip........and would love to see some of your pictures.......

Hi cielei.......nice to see you again........don't be a stranger........

Busy couple of days ahead before we head to Scotland........

Sorry to hear about your friend squirlz

Antonitos has never appealed to us, not a fan of the menu........we always enjoy Confisco's

Might have a good reason to go back to FL soon. My daughter applied to FSU and was accepted while we were away She got her ACT score back today and it may qualify her for a full out of state tuition waiver Will have to send that score over today and if that's the case a visit to the school will be in order
