Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Hi all!

First of all, I want to thank everyone for the well wishes, We are very excited, but of course, a bit anxious. But everything is going smoothly

And we know what we are having.....

Lovely news it's a boy kfish..........you will be anxious.......but hope you keeping well and enjoying it too...... Nice to see ya back posting again.........


I ended up in London for the day yesterday........friend and I got very early train, doesn't take that long to get there from where we are now and we had a blast!!

Had lovely lunch and dinner, bit of shopping and visited Harrods......hadn't been in there for years.........had a good old wander around. We would have stayed overnight but couldn't get booked in anywhere we would stay......it was very last minute.......as in, Thursday night decision..........was nice seeing the Christmas lights again too.

Got home very late last night, but glad we went....next time we'll definitely arrange in advance and make hotel reservations and see a show........I'd forgotten how busy London is........

Quiet day today........ May wander round to village pub later.............

we don't plan to stay at a hotel until furniture arrives.
buy 3 aerobeds and use that until our belongings are moved in.
too disruptive to do a temp housing set up with the kitties.

we have our closing dates for the new house and present house.
not counting on anything until both are closed.
hear too many situations where the rug is pulled out from underneath before closing happens.

usually by now i have the next years vacation planned and booked.
going to have to wait until january before i lock in my 2016 orlando dates.
but if i got a pin code, that could all change......

No rush to decorate my room............I can wait..........

hiya homies!!!

missed you guys. been a busy crazy hectic month for us. 3 birthdays, organized a first ever halloween cul de sac party, hosted an event at the gym! had to spend my time on the disney side prepping for our cruise (which was awesome BTW). sounds like everyone had fun at HHN!! We took the girls to the park on Friday afternoon / early evening on Friday the 16th. US was about to close so we just hung out at IOA for a few hours.

i love it when our homies come back home.

we miss it when you are not on the couch with us watching tv.


sounds like you had a great time in orlando

So I'm back from my stay at Universal...it was fantastic!

We had a great time, in fact my husband and I agreed, we both had more fun on this trip than our last Disneyworld trip. We stayed at Cabana Bay and did multiple days at Universal, a Seaworld day, an Aquatica Day, and one day at the Magic Kingdom and had lunch at Disney Springs. TBH, the only reason we did a Disney day on this visit was because we had tickets to MNSSHP, otherwise we would have not set foot in a Disney park, because the crowds were insane.

My husband had such a great time he wanted to extend our vacation by one day, something he never does.

After experiencing Universal, we are now just disappointed in Disney, because Universal is obviously trying harder and it shows. We stayed at Cabana Bay, which is equivalent pricewise to Disney's value on site hotels, and our CB room was cleaner than our last deluxe level Disney room we stayed in, plus CB had better bus service!

I'll probably be composing a trip report sometime soon, but its going to be a big one--in the past month we did Disney in California, Knotts Scary Farm, Universal in Florida, Seaworld, and Magic Kingdom, so alot of places!

looking forward to your trip report!

Lazy day doing bits and bobs..........

Hope janet is having lovely time on her trip.........

 

[macraven]

since we haven't heard a peep from keisha, hope that means she is busy in the parks and having fun......


have my dinner all planned for tonight so i will be free to watch WD.

now i just have to make that run to KFC when they all want to eat......

 

[RAPstar]

Remember how I used to like planning? Yeah, trying to plan Disneyland, for one weekend, during the busiest times of the year is changing that. I'm gonna need a vacation from this vacation.

Almost done with training at the full time job, we go live on Thursday. And I mean live as in we'll be taking calls for the first time ever for the brand we're doing customer service for (they're switching from a different company to ours). At least I don't have to open.

Oh, and I have Pre-TR up for the Dec trip, if anyone's interested.

 

[macraven]

[macraven]

[tink1957]

Almost time for TWD...hope I can stay awake for talking dead tonight...I have to get up at 6 am again tomorrow

Hope everyone had a good weekend

 

[RAPstar]

link please.....

Sorry, I got turned around trying to find where i Can edit my signature on the new version of the forum and totally forgot to include the link when adding it. It's fixed now. And with that, I must go to bed. I'm already past my bed time and I still have to walk the dog

 

[schumigirl]

Hope you stayed awake Vicki......not quite sure what talking dead is.........Oh I gave up on AHS.......too weird and predictable......

Robbie......will check out your pre trippie.........


Blowing a gale here today.......cold too. Time for new boots and coats soon I think.........Love getting new boots!!!

Rare roast beef with French bread for lunch.........

Another sunny start to the day, but below freezing. Anyone want to help scrape ice off my car windows? At least it wasn't that thick. Lots of rain to come tomorrow, but at least it should only last the day. Leaves are almost off most of the trees, so winter is coming for sure. Oh well, at least one more day to soak up the sun.

Robbie, have fun in DL. Yeah, but at least they have the old fast pass, so that helps. Yeah, anything with Disney has to have a plan now. One of the reasons I like staying onsite at USO, no real plan needed most of the time.

Hope all are resting comfortably, enjoying the second Monday of November:

I'll take the hot tea, large please, with lemon.
