Something About Nothing ... #12

[tink1957]

I didn't get to renew early as my pass doesn't expire until June 30. She did say I could renew 30 days before or after that date as reported elsewhere.

My original AP says Florida resident so I keep the paper one and I use that info when I renew it...hard for the phone rep to argue that I shouldn't get the FL resident price when my AP says it.

You should call back until you get an agreeable phone rep.

I have the original photo ap from 2002

Out of state and no residency on it

My AP doesn't expire to the end of the summer, so I am hoping it does not increase more before I renew.

A glorious day when you can see your breath when you exit your house. At least it's bright out. Clouds, but a nice enough day to top out at 50 degrees.

While clothes shopping, little one said why isn't there more summer like clothes. Um, because it's still winter. Then she looked at her phone as to when Spring arrives, and then remarked, she's so ready for the warm weather. Yeah, I guess all of us are. I am definitely happy, the thought of that snow is long ago now.

And, back to a short week. Yay for a Monday holiday.

Yep, and second cup of XL tea so far. Cool inside too.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, and have a great Tuesday.

Uggg Its a rainy Tuesday here, suits my mood but I dont have time for another delay. I cant believe its already the end of February! We will be back for a short trip in 68 days and I cant wait. Its been pure stress the last 2 weeks. My 23 yr old daughter is moving back home, she left her boyfriend of 3 years. We have an empty trailer we are getting cleaned up and ready for her but its been roadblock after road block. I live in a rural area but the closest city has apparently acquired jurisdiction for building inspections and permits. Now we have jump through all their hoops and red tape. I am waiting for the electrician and worrying the rain is going to delay the work today.

 

[Lynne G]

Avic, welcome!

Sorry to hear of all the delay and the rain. We've had so many gray days, that every time we get full sun days, we have to tell everyone. LOL

Hope all goes well with the trailer and DD is so lucky having you as her parents.

Yay! For a trip on the horizon. None for me any time soon, but I can do at least months away status.

Afternoon all.........

Vicki, glad to hear you extended your stay! Always good to do..........


Had planned for DS to take me shopping today as it was his day off. He had to go in for meetings all morning. So to my surprise, my friend who died last year, her two daughters came round and ending up spending a few hours with them! Always love to see them......beautiful girls that I just adore.

So that passed most of the day.

It is cold!!! Weatherman he lied! Different weatherwoman said today rain all day Thursday and a Friday then it's to get cold.......again! No such thing as again.......it's just been continually cold! Rant over........

Baked Salmon tonight.........have taken one side of the fish and cured it into Gravalax.......love that! Always feels like a treat!

Hope everyone's Tuesday is a good one...........

 

[tink1957]

What the heck is Gravalax? All I could think of was a gravy laxative...and that would be unfortunate.

Welcome to avic...hope you have good luck with the inspection. It will be nice to have your daughter so close.

Cloudy day here too but somewhat mild for February...I'll take it over cold any time.

Have a wonderful day homies

Scandinavian dish Vicki.....gorgeous raw fish, but cured. Lovely with a squeeze of lemon and some dill mayonnaise and anything else you choose to have with it.........that's not the recipe I use, but it's similar. Folks tend to vary their own to taste.

I love any kind of salmon.........baked.......smoked......cured or raw in sushi........

 

[schumigirl]

Gravy laxative????

Hopefully kohlby will have a candle in the birthday food tonight

Funny you should say this. I was looking back on facebook at the "on this day" and there was a post about running out of birthday candles and my youngest had to blow out a regular candle instead. That's what happens with the third child. Luckily, I read that yesterday - realizing we didn't have candles again! Movers won't move candles so we didn't have any. I rushed out to the store so poor third child wouldn't have to blow out a regular candle again. He didn't mind the first time but he might feel neglected the second time.


Not much going on today. Homeschooling and taking eldest to tennis in a bit. Hubby and I managed two concert nights in a row at Universal so we don't have another trip planned for a little bit. Child #2 has her birthday coming up in mid-March though so she'll get her birthday trip sometime before then - hopefully before spring break crowds start.

We lucked out with renewals - renewing the kids' Universal passes at the very end of November right before the increase. It was $160 each for power passes for resident rates. Two days later would have been $255 each. That was a huge jump! I am considering just doing seasonal pass renewals for them the next time around - but we have some time until then. I saved $160 total on our Disney AP's by doing those hours before the recent price increase - but that's $160 saved total for five passes, so that increase wasn't as extreme. We're only going to do Disney AP's for a year so we're trying to hold out and not activate them for a while.

[schumigirl]

Yep, Wednesday already........

Quiet day today, not much going on right now.......but out tonight with a friend, not a late night just meeting up for a couple of hours.

Nearly lunchtime

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, it's hump day. Minions and camel reminders - Wednesday it is.

Rain, rain, go away. Enough rain to start the day, to make everything wet and gray. Oh well. We're going to be in the 70's the next 2 days, even though today is still in the 50's.
I'm ready for the week-end, even though it's been a short week.

Asked kids, how about FLA again this year. That was a no. So, where this year, hmmm. Still looking at here or there. I like the west and Europe, but the flights are long enough, I am not fond of them. Hmm, FLA and cruise? That may be a choice. Back to more scheming. I mean dreaming. I mean planning. LOL

I homeschool too. My kids are 7, 7 and nearly 13.

 

[macraven]

Thanks for the calendar info homies, you can lose track of that info when you don't work anymore.......lol


The joys of homeschooling
I did it for one of my boys and it worked out fine

Lynne, you go to Florida and let the rest of the family stay home for the end of the year trip
They can all sleep to noon and get fast food out or food delivered

Win win situation

Those are my favorite vacations
Hahahahahaha

Hope all the homies have a great day !
