Robo, great trees.

It is feeling like fall now. Temps dropping overnight and cool days.

Hope all that are at the dark side are enjoying HHN.

arrrgh multiple quotes not working for me, let's see...

carol - thanks for checking it out, will have it on reserve jik we get a rainy day. nothing worse than being trapped in a room while it's pouring with a 5 year old lol. Glad to hear HHN is shaping up to be a goodie!

goofyfigment - what? no pictures! throw us a bone lol.

robo - I believe we are kindered Halloween decorating spirits. was supposed to sort thru the boxes of decorations today, got sidetracked by a 2 hour phone call with GE as to why my washer is still not properly fixed. Today's story was I was purged. have to laugh, made me think of HHN. Now I need to start anew. Told the parts would come when we are away if I resubmitted the claim now (washer drum and basically all the washer's guts). Was advised to wait to start the process in mid October.

tink - loved, loved the Doctor episode, other than the cliff hanger. I swear the actor has been working on his diction, didn't need to rewind the DVR once to catch what he said.

mac - when u figure out the 11th, let me know. have to wait until the 4th to know if we can stay into that week. Know several have received email cancellations of Finnegans. Any idea if we have any confirmation on the DIS as to res actually not being honored?

 

[Robo56]

Keishashadow they do not make the appliances to last anymore. I think it is a dirty plot by the manufacturers to make us so frustrated by repeated repairs we just give up and buy a new ones. I love decorating for Halloween. I keep saying every year I'am not going to buy anything new but, this year I had to cave in and buy the creepy tapping hand at Target.

I saw a awesome Darth Vader full helmet at Target that would make a awesome tree topper for a Vader Tree for Christmas. Dark purple lights, light sabers and Jedi's. I would surprise my son with something like that, but I think my daughter in law would not like it LOL...

Uh oh...me thinks me missed Mac's birthday...Happy 29th Red!

So.Darn.Busy.
I enjoying planning our trips almost as much as the trip itself, but I'm not getting much time to do that right now. I did just get a huge discount off our car rental though! (Thanks Gina G Bo B!)

 

[tinydancer09]

Thanks for all he birthday wishes. Can't wait to get home and share all the wonderful experiences.

Also I just realized that it was spitting me out back at the very top of the topic in August... sorry Mac I didn't realize how belated it was oooooops! That's what happens with lack of sleep mixed with tequila

 

[Lynne G]

As we inch towards October, all I see in the stores is halloween and pumpkins. Not quite ready yet.

Robo, my DS would like a Star Wars tree too! He's a big fan and is so ready for the new movies coming out this winter.

Tiny D, glad to hear you had a wonderful time.

KY - I tried Gina's link, but still not getting the rate I have already. Still much higher. Hmmm. I'm ok with mine so far though.

Mac - glad you could see the pictures. I get the question mark quite a bit now. Wondering if it's how you post that the DIS does not like it. Hope you're staying warm, as our nights are getting colder and colder. These shorter days are depressing. I need sun all day, like we had.

Keisha - sorry to hear the washer is still not right. I agree with Robo, no appliance is made to last anymore. I hope yours gets fixed right or they give you another new one.

 

[Bluer101]

Just got thru decorating our front yard.

 

[keishashadow]

bluer - lolololol i dare not show it to DH, it might plant a seed.

my washer still works, it just is stuck on super dee dooper speed and clothes are starting to come out severely wrinkle with the almost delicates getting chewed up. so mch hand washing & hanging up to dry = little house on prarie i'm not.

lynne - r u talking car rentals? I was glad to dump my alamo brazil rate today & switch to budget via carrentalsavers. total prices i saw intermediate, no codes $114, i went with USSA (free extra driver) full size $119

re the fall invasion of the pumpkin spice chicks. DS moonlights @ Starbucks & still handles doing their ordering of product each month since nobody else has been trained. He commented that their version of the pumpkin coffee (personally i hate pumpkin flavored drinks lol), is typically ordered 40% of all product while it's in stock. The new formulation has been such an overwhelming hit, he's upped it to more than 50% and received a call they are running thru it, need to order more. He who controls the spice controls the chicks

 

[Belle0101]

Yikes! I can't believe I missed some birthdays. If I missed your birthday, anniversary or any other special celebration ... sorry. I hope it was happy and that you look forward to many many more!

I'm in the limbo stage of vacation planning - it's really too early to start uber planning my days but I'm just so excited and can't wait! I find myself repeatedly checking the crowd calendars and the park hours.

It's a nice day here so we worked in the yard all afternoon - trimming the hostas, fountain grass and tree branches back. I think we have about a month of nice weather left ... and then I hibernate.

keisha - I've heard so many people say the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is really good, I'm not surprised the needs to order more. Sorry about the washer.

Robo - you're trees are awesome!

 

[tinydancer09]

for all the birthday wishes. I think I said that already, but I might have been at margaritaville and don't remember.... I had a FANTASTIC birthday. The best one in current memory.

We should start an online S-A-N calendar for events and birthdays haha. or iPhone one.

Just got back from the trip about 2 hours ago. All went well.. a bit rough with my friend, but I had a great time. I'm honestly scared to ask her if she did. She seemed miserable the whole time. We got to do the immigration tour, control room tour, and Hard Rock Cafe VIP tour. HRC is def my favorite, followed by twister, then Immigration. We had 2.5 days but somehow we still didn't get everything done.... that's alright though. Was just talking to my mom and she said she wants to go sometime soon. I got a taste of doing the parks by myself yesterday (a very small taste- about an hour.) One day I hope to be able to do this! All of my friends say "Thats so sad" I say I CAN RIDE GRINGOTTS 18 times and sit in the middle of diagon alley for 3 hours without worrying about anyone else's fun but mine! I have lots and lots of new pictures from my travels. I should be getting a new face on here whenever my internet stops being strange.

Hope everyone is doing well and having great trips, decorating fun, birthdays, or work days! Also... I want a transformer!!! My sister would kill me!

The real beer was later on back at the hotel! I'm sitting here thinking a glass of wine would be really nice. Got in the habit of having a drink every night while on vacation!

 

[Robo56]

Bluer that's what I call some Halloween yard decorations.

Tinydancer09 love the new avatar.

Lynne love the puppy and pumpkins.

Belle and Tink i like the smell of pumkin candles. Tried the pumpkin latte did not like it much. I like to decorate with pumpkins not a fan of eating anything pumkin though. I read a research done on smells men find pleasant done years ago. One of the scents men in the study found very pleasant was pumkin. Keisha you will have to ask your son if they sell any of that coffee to men.

LOL had to add another pumkin to the tree

 

[keishashadow]

Robo - the response was "very few". I'm told men tend to order espresso shots with their java. Must put hair on their chest lol.

another nice decoration, you are on a roll. My decorations r still in their tubs. I spent hours tossing vacation stuff into laundry baskets. Now, I need to "purge" at least half of it. Probably should pack something for the mr lol. He'd wear the same 3 outfits over 2 weeks if I'd let him. Even in the Orlando humidity, he rarely breaks a sweat...how?
