Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Good afternoon homies
Hope everyone is doing well and for all of you that's dealing with cold hope your staying warm.
Well we are in double digit days now for our trip to the dark side and DW let's me know it every day now

Nice to see you again StL........your trip will be here before you know it.........

Have the cats home now and think they are stoned

Glassy eye and all and getting the munchies

But they can't eat until later tonight

Oh bless them......nothing worse than being hungry and not allowed to eat!!! You'll be very popular later when you do feed them.........


Supposed to be in bed.......planned an early night........why oh why do you struggle to keep your eyes open at 7.30 some nights......but come 10pm you brighten up!!!!

Tried to count sheep one night I couldn't sleep ........they turned into minions after I reached 8

Better remind DH Mac. Glad to hear cats home and all good.

Shoveled and salted. Now the real fun begins. Overnight, 18 and high tomorrow 28. So, anything wet becomes a skating rink. White knuckle drive tomorrow, hoping at least a delay or another day off. Down right cold.

And yay! StL's DW's darkside visit countdown.

Kids are hungry. Time for pizza. Yes, I am a geek. It is pie day ya know. 3.14. Later homies, have a safe, warm, and happy Tuesday night.

Gotta check in.. wasn't at work today so I forgot to say Happy Tuesday.. Which it actually was.. I was supposed to work from home today because of the blizzard, but I didn't have anything to do, so I played video games and napped! Awesome day!

Couldn't help it Mac when you said your cats were stoned it reminded me of this video.

Glad to hear your kitties are home and are going to get some chow this evening.

Neighbors have been mowing their yards since mid February
Dude across the street from me has mowed 3 times already

At least 5 here...And the only reason we didn't mow in Dec was that Mouse/Minion trip! Very mild "Winter" this "Season".

Hope all youse folks up North are staying safe and warm!!!

Tiny - Have you done HHN before? I have not but will go this fall too.I'm not sure if I really want to go or not. I figure I should try it out though.

I have not! I don't usually enjoy things like that, but I told my boyfriend I would at least try it for one night this year. Told him I make no promises for years to come. I'm not a fan of being scared so I'm hoping that I will react in the way of humor than actual terror. I've always said I was going to try it at least once one day..... His best friend's soon to be wife also doesn't participate in HHN so for future her and I will probably find something to do at IOA or MNSCHP instead. Unless I like it of course!

TinyD...the free dining deal isn't out yet for this year and the dates are going to be very limited this year if they are the same as the bounceback offers. The fall offer usually comes out at the end of April and any promo is going to be offered closer to the time he has to go. If he is trying to book under a certain package deal it will only show the dates that promotion is valid. Tell him to try booking room only first and his dates should show up.

I think he's just been trying to get various quotes online. The online calendar will not let you go past December 2017. I'm sure if he called he could probably get somewhere. But the online calendars for even just hotels won't let you go past December 2017.

Agree, usually the Motherland, you can reserve 364 days later. Also, agree, that free dining is not offered as much as it used to be. If there is a discount, you know the info will be on the DIS boards. I guess, he needs to keep his eye out for a discount, then grab it when he sees it. He can always change to a better one, if it's available. How exciting, a knee down question at WDW. If they are fans, what a beautiful idea. Lucky girl.
And TinyD motoring to have fun twice in Orlando. And yep, a dark side dude, horror fan, good choice.

Yeah I'm excited for him! Im the only one who knows, and now youse guys. He's a fantastic friend and I know he'll make a loving husband for her. I haven't met her yet, so I reserve my judgement. She's apparently in on the fact that hes planning a vacation for her, but thinks its just an anniversary/christmas trip. HAHA! Boy is she going to be surprised! He thinks he's going to do it infront of the castle where that photographer is.... just pose for a picture?? what? NOPE RING!

We have a frost advisory tonight. It's only 46 right now. We'll see tomorrow's low is 29 I think.

Oh, and on the boy. I knew you guys would approve of him since he's a HHN fan. He didn't get to go last year so he's pretty excited I have a mandatory birthday trip hes required to go to Man, I'm so awful. MAKING him take three days off work... No, really we're both pretty excited. Plus, I get to use a few of his perks to get good rates. I no longer have to wait for APH rates to come out if he's with me. I'm currently getting quoted $190 per night at RPR for September 20-21 and $130 at SPF for 22-23 nights. Pretty good rates if you ask me. We're going to switch hotels halfway through to save some cash since he has to purchase his pass this year and we both have to pay HHN tickets. We'll save at least $150(as opposed to staying at RPR during weekend HHN rates) that way and still have express for 3 full days.

I'm not wanting to book until my next credit card cycle and hoping that I'm not going to lose opportunity to get the standard room rate. Fingers crossed with me until April 6?!

Fingers crossed

That is funny!!!!!! But kinda freaky at the same time...........


Chilly and grey here today..........and some nice weather woman just said the storm hitting the States will head this way.........eh, no......it can turn to somewhere else that's used to that weather!!! I`m ready for Spring........

Nice Schumi. Hope your Wednesday is warmer and clear today. To see the sea, hope it looks lovely.

Well, narrow roads, snow from people clearing off their encased cars, odd parking places, and bitter cold. A lovely 21 to travel in, and a high now predicted to be 29, ooh I degree warmer than first thought. Frozen is the word of the day. But, thankfully, a rain soaked Sunday in the 40's will wash away most of the icy snow we got. And oddly, we are at least 1 and 1/2 hours drive from the shore, but sea gulls are happily squawking in the parking lot. Do they like salt brine?

And since today is Wednesday, Keisha needs that camel (hump day) reminder:

ha ha. yea, here's a real camel:

okay, another ha ha:

can you tell, I'm thinking of warmer weather? Le sigh, not even out of the 30's until Sunday.

Well, large cup of coffee drank, now looking for tea. Was so nice, with little one delayed, and me too, had breakfast out with little one, dropped her off and made my way in less time than I thought. Happy. And so is older one. Since he's on Spring break, let him sleep in. He'll retrieve the little one though, so I'm happy he's being a cooperative big brother.

Later all, it's Wednesday, and Friday get slowly in to sight.

Just joined a golf club.......oh dear........

But, as I was filling in the form my friend who I have known for 15 years said she didn't know I had a double barrelled name.......lol......I don't use the whole name usually as it's fairly long, but can't believe she didn't know.......lol.......that amused me.

So, going to give golf a try.......not giving out much hope but I can try........


Off out tonight with friend for coffee........Wednesday night get together........just made Mac n cheese for my two......added chicken and they loved it!

 

[macraven]

Is there wine at the golf club ?

I tried golf once.. but without the windmills and the clown's mouth, it's just not fun. I do like the little pencils tho...

Just wanted to let everyone know Orlando is officially a mess of road construction. Kirkman Road in front of Universal is torn up but new bridges are open to speed you on your way. Not to mention I-4 downtown and near Universal is a real PITA in both directions. Allow extra time. This area will be torn up for years to come. The main problem now (in that area) is Sand Lake Road from Kirkman to John Young Parkway. The whole road is torn up while the State does roadwork. If anyone is coming down in the next few months, stay away from Sand Lake Road in the afternoons as the traffic backup is insane. Not sure how long this construction is going to last.

 

[tink1957]

Thanks for the info Todd...good to see you posting again.

I'm glad that I'm not driving in Orlando any time soon.

 

[macraven]

Thanks for the 411 heads up

So glad it was not like that when I drove to UO last month

Sounds a nightmare Todd........that must be awful dealing with that route every day........
