Something About Nothing ... #12

[Chuckers]

Agree that snow is pretty (as long as it is not where I live )

Did you get a character hooded sweatshirt or the universal logo one ?

It's a light grey hoodie that I got in the MiB Store.. it says "Universal Studios" on it, but it's not a logo.

 

[Squirlz]

Thank you!!!!

We are very excited already.....loved the Christmas festivities and knew we wanted to go back again to RPR........apparently I’m spoiled.........who knew!!!!

So, we have one or two visits to the States planned........... Maybe we should look at property there again......have to say though, I prefer to be spoiled and pampered in our favourite hotel.........

We did look to buy a house in Dunedin in 08, but decided against it eventually.........

Glad to see you back posting........ hope your internet is ok now I’ve just sent you another email, so hope you get it.........


Not anywhere near as cold as you mac but jeez it’s gone cold today again! Not freezing but downright chilly.

Hot chocolates all round I think............

Guess we'll miss you this year. Plan is to let my AP expire this month then go December 11-21 with a new AP and then 12/2-12 2019 on the same AP.

And I am home tomorrow. Pushed visit til next week. After bitter cold tomorrow it is going to warm up-to 60's by weekend!!
Checked the feather babies at dusk. All but one already on roosting bars in coop all tucked in for night. Cuddle chicken was getting her fill of food and water without being pecked on. So she is the one who got the scratch grains. Will have to make them oatmeal again tomorrow.

Dog comes in covered in snow everytime he goes out. Think he is rolling in it. Weird dog.

Thinking hot chocolate with a shot of my salted caramel vodka might be in order... And I never did get back to my book...

Chuckers we had to get an extra hoodie when we were in Orlando a couple weeks ago. I really like mine and will wear it often.

Went through and cleaned up shelf with stuff from trips. Didn't realize how many MB's I'd collected. Or glow cubes. Or key chains. I may have a collecting issue LOL!

Good evening everyone. No much going on here today. I am annoyed with one of our therapists. She came into work sick today. She insisted it is just a cold, but kept complaining about how bad she felt. She also refused to cancel clients and go home.

We have snow in the forecast for Wednesday. Right now they are saying 1-3 inches. We will see.

Macraven - Welcome back. I lived in Georgia for years and we never got much snow. It seems like GA has gotten more than its fair share in the past few years. I have told DH that I don’t want to move any farther north than we are right now.

Chuckers - Sorry you had to rejoin reality. I will probably stay at RPR again when we go back, but I agree with you on the pillows. Mine were too soft with little support. My husband wants to try the Hard Rock. I bought a hoodie too, but mine is a Hogwarts house hoodie. I’m only 5’2”, so it’s a bit long on me.

Schumi - Congrats on another trip. I think we are looking at summer 0f 2019 for our next big vacation.

Lynne - Good luck on the room remodel. I had to get B new bedroom furniture a couple of years ago when her bed literally fell apart.

We are watching travel videos on the new TV. So far I have decided that I need to go to England, Ireland, Las Vegas, and back to Alaska.

I don’t know Schumi....
You’d have to give up room service if you bought a place in Florida

But on the other hand, if you did have a place in Florida, it would be a short drive to park your car at RPR

Staying there at RPR is a vacation all on its own !

Yep, RPR really is our home away from home too.........If I had a house there I`d need to make beds and clean......nah......hotels all the way....well, for now......

It`s funny not everyone is happy for us to have these trips booked though........some of the comments about "again", or same place again.......the best one is we have more money than sense, well it`s our money .......gotta love when folks say that!! Shows what they really think doesn't it........stuff em!!!

Guess we'll miss you this year. Plan is to let my AP expire this month then go December 11-21 with a new AP and then 12/2-12 2019 on the same AP.

Sorry we`re going to miss you both this year squirlz.........but makes sense to let it expire till December then renew..........

Charade.....hate when folks spread their diseases over everyone........

Lynne.......I love remodeling rooms!!! So much fun.......


Beautiful day today again, but so cold.......just above freezing.........but sun is shining..........that`s always something.

Shrimp and pasta for lunch in spicy sauce and lasagne for dinner tonight.......DS is out so just the two of us tonight.......

Have a great Tuesday...........

Thanks

Good Morning Tink. Sending good thoughts your way. Yes, share if you want. Whining is okay. I have a teenager with issues, as my DSis says. When I left home I told older one to be careful, it's just a snow shower, but being 29 out, there may be some black ice. He just called, mom do you know it's snowing out? Sigh. I have kids.

Mac, sending some warmth your way, and healing thoughts too. I'd send some sun, but with this thick cloud cover, sending a teasing snow shower, ain't going to see the sun for another day. The real snow is coming in the wee hours of tomorrow. Now saying 2 to 4 inches. I guess we will know better tomorrow morning. I am hoping for closing, but delay would be fine too.

Good Afternoon Schumi. People are annoying, what business is theirs to comment on yours? I believe in enjoying now, tomorrow I may not be able to. I think it's fabulous you get to enjoy traveling where you want, when you want. I agree, it is nice to be taken care of when on holiday.

Charade, never stayed at the HRH. Kids and I prefer the Portofino, but because of costs, we've been more times at RPR. I am not fond of the beds or pillows. If I wasn't flying, I'd bring my own pillow. Hope you get less snow than us. Thankfully, we're not at north as we could be. The ski resorts are happy, the more north you go, the more snow.

Glad it something you'll wear again Chuckers. Only souvenirs we picked up were phone cases, one from the mouse and one from the dark side. Little one has a deadly hallows and older one a star wars character. I got nothing. Well, pictures on my phone.

Good Morning MonyK, Glad rescheduled. Yeah, we had a indoor/oudoor carpet next to the sliding door, and a pile of towels. My dogs knew to stop when then got in. All loved the rub down. That, and the sofa got a work out too. Why we got a new sofa when all dogs were gone. Haven't heard chicken noise lately. Seems our neighbor chickens don't like the cold either.

With that, I need tea. A large cup of tea. Seems dry and almost warm inside.

Grab a taco,

or

Later homies. Have an awesome Tuesday.

yes, but a short week, and that deserves a wahoo!

 

[Chuckers]

Good morning all! Our storm warning has moved from today to tomorrow.. but it's still freakin' cold!

Aside from the hoodie, I also look for three souvenirs when I travel... Mugs, Pins, and Magnets. At Disney I always have to get the newest Grumpy mug. I have 10 of them now. I also have to get the Disney fridge magnet for that year. This year they had 2!! I got a Universal Studios and Busch Gardens magnet, but they don't do yearly ones. I got new pins from Universal, a Studios pin and a Minion pin

Sometimes I'll buy something else if it strikes my fancy and I have money. Disney watches are a big thing for me, as well as buildable things - I have an 8 inch tall 3-D Cinderella's castle made from clear puzzle blocks.

The other new buildable things I found are metal 3-D puzzles. I bought 3 of them, A Cinderella's Castle, a Space Mountain, and a Mickey's FunWheel:

Apparently these 3-D Metal Earth models are a big thing. I had not seen them before.


The Universal Studios pin I bought, I put on my lanyard right away.. and within half a day, I lost one of the backings. I was not happy. Luckily, the gift shop had a spare one and just gave it to me, which was really nice of them. I wish they sold the lockable pin backings. (I bought them at Disney a while ago and they're awesome.) I think Universal should carry them:

I also very rarely buy the souvenir photo from a ride, but I had to get this one from Busch Gardens because I think I look good in it. (And I'm in the front)



And I had to buy some chocolate frogs for friends

 

[Lynne G]

Didn't know there were locking pin backs, Chuckers. The metal models are cool. Nice that you collect mugs. Older one does, but has so many now, he's not really interested in them anymore. We have our share of other things too.

Chuckers -

You rule in that BG photo!

Lynne, the locking pin backs are awesome! you can actually get them cheaper on Amazon, they're just not 'Disneyfied'

Chuckers -

You rule in that BG photo!

Thanks Mac

Morning Sans family

Good to see you back Tink sending hugs and sunshine you’re way

Welcome back Mac

It`s funny not everyone is happy for us to have these trips booked though........some of the comments about "again", or same place again.......the best one is we have more money than sense, well it`s our money .......gotta love when folks say that!! Shows what they really think doesn't it........stuff em!!!

Yep, I get teased a bit by family for going to Universal too, but it’s my happy place for sure. I always tell people, “ go have fun and enjoy life”, “do what makes you happy”. The nice part of retirement is you can travel as much as you want, whenever you want. That’s something to celebrate for sure, and travel on

 

[Robo56]

Chuckers couldn’t help it. Looks like one of your get off my lawn cat pictures



Great pic from BG.
