Something About Nothing ... #12

Another Wednesday..........

We are sleeping so late right now! Brunch may become a regular meal in our house now........

Weather is dull and grey with rain on and off.......will go out this afternoon, my friend's daughter's birthday is tomorrow and have to get her gifts. This is her second birthday without her mum and still hits her hard.

But, have a great Wednesday.........

Yes it is Wednesday. Keisha, wake up. The mouse and camel are reminding you it's Wednesday.

Hump day indeed. So ready for the week-end.

That' s so lush Schumi. Late mornings and brunch. Retirement suits both of you. Hope your weather improves and your friend's daugther has a lovely birthday.

Another sunny and oh so muggy day. Last night, was 3 minutes from home. Big drop on my window. I was like darn bird. Then a barrage of big drops. Rain. Windows up fast. Got out of the car, still raining some of the largest raindrops I have seen. Less than 10 minutes later, no rain, but even muggier. Weather lady said, the steaminess will ratchet up as the day goes on. Joy. Thunderstorms in the later afternoon or early evening on schedule. Hmm, maybe little one's practice will be cancelled. It will be a wait and see.

Oh, fast passes were done. Some of what I wanted was not available. Faster fingers than me, apparently. Oh well. Made quite a few, and I'll keep checking. Checked into the hotel, so hopefully I get where I wanted, and the room will be ready. If not ready, I'm okay with that, but more hoping I get a room where I would like. Hoping it's one of the updated ones too. RPR, have my reservation, AP will be renewed. That's it. Any other reservations will be made more on the fly. Hey Keisha, how'd ya do on fast pass?

Have a nice Wednesday all.

Survived the park w/GD, love how much shade they have there. Wave pool was a bit more friskier than i recall. My lower back is letting me know all about it today. Had to deal with some issues via a call from nursing home that could've easily waited until i was home. I'm tempted to have a moratorium on answering calls when out & about at this point from everyone.

Put up some pickles today, did a quick refrigerator method vs canning, waiting for brine to cool now.

@keishashadow You can also know the number of days in a month using your knuckles...
Put your finger on the first knuckle and say 'January', then the space between the next knuckle is February. The next knuckle is March.. do this across your hand. When you get to the last knuckle (July), start over with August. If the month you're looking for is on a knuckle, it's 31 days. It it's in the space between, it's 30 (except February, of course.)

That is magic! Never heard of that before. I'm old school with the rhyme but it didn't cross my mind duh. I'll blame a lack of coffee, yeah, that's it.

Happy birthday to Tink! And Keisha happy birthday too?
Getting my hair done today. After taking one kid to dealer to get her car worked on, other kids car is still at mechanic getting it road trip worthy, have lunch out today to celebrate DH bday (tomorrow) and bonus kids bday (couple weeks ago). Today is liepterallynthe only day we've had all summer where we are ALL off today- no school,band,work,convention. Only DDS has his last soccer camp tonight at 6. And he's now on TWO teams this fall. I'm going to be living in my car...
Oh- and need to start really packing stuff up! We leave Friday for my dads bday party.

Anything exciting w/the hair'do this time. I was trying to stretch my color from end of April 5 months to September. Thinking that idea isn't going to pan out.

Hmm, my family has been known to drag out birth-days to weeks but still a mite too early for me but thanks

Special plans for dear old dad on tap?

Have fun celebrating with the mr &. Kiddos. Uh oh 2 teams, may the Schwartz be with you!

keisha has another two weeks almost before she turns 29 again


monyk, you have a very busy day!

Actually, just one week

Happy Birthday Keisha

I rarely check in more than a week prior, not sure why the procrastination. Rarely book resort rooms @ WDW, do they still take fax requests? Hope u get the new room, make sure to take pics. I love the idea of no W/W carpet.

No issue grabbing initial FP, then i waited an hour & switched things all around, again easily. Even saw frozen ride in epcot which surprised me

Seriously, that is creepy stuff.

 

[schumigirl]

To Mr MonyK..........hope it's a good one.......and your trip is just around the corner........

Janet, glad you had a good day yesterday........ouch on the lower back though! Gorgeous pics as always of little one........so cute! Thought it was a little early for your b/day......I did smile, I have been known to drag my birthdays out much longer than is polite........ might be where I got the Princess tag many years ago.......where's that crown gone.........

Creepy pic Robo.......yes, I agree we need more announcements........shouldn't be long


Still raining here, got my new ironing board cover today.......and new griddle pan. So exciting.

Out tonight with friend for food and chat......our usual Wed night meet. No cooking for me then........DH makes Southern fried chicken for them........

 

[Monykalyn]

So oldest DD got her location for her DCP and man is she upset. Don't know what to do to help her other than try to talk her down. Her happiness and excitement are now tears and disappointment. It WILL work out in the end, but not able to convince her yet of this. Gawd I hate this part of parenting when your kid hurts and you can't take the pain from them!

She is at Caribbean Beach resort (custodial-which is role she wanted). I can see why she is disappointed as that resort is tore up right now and out of the way of traffic. she really wanted to have more guest interaction than what she thinks she will get there.

 

[macraven]

it is tough when your kid is unhappy when they should be excited about the CP job.
but, i know what you mean and things have a way of working out for the best.

when is that resort to be completed?
does she start in this month or next and does it go thru January next year?

 

[Lynne G]

Tell her she will get lots of guests to talk to there. Check out the CB thread on the resort section. Many took gift cards to stay there and free dining guests will be there soon.

Hugs MonyK. Yeah, we always feel what our kids do. Once she has a few CM friends and gets into routine, I hope you get happy reports and a smiling kid.

 

[Robo56]

Creepy pic Robo...

It's from Coven (American Horror Stories) one of the houses for HHN.

I think it is a couple years to completion-the new DVC (which looks like a casino resort LOL-disney really really just mailed it in on that design) plus I think it gets the gondolas too?-she starts Monday, goes through first week of January.

 

[macraven]

wow that is a long time for completion!!

with the discounts that were being given out a month ago, the place should be packed and full.
so many booked with the reduced rate and the gift cards they were giving out.

hope it will work out well for your daughter

Hugs for your daughter........yep, when they hurt, we hurt too. I hope she feels more positive in coming days and she sees she will still have fun.

Yep, recognised it straight away...........


Had lovely night out with friend........ate some nice food and sorted the world out.......no wine as I was driving tonight.......she's off for a week's holiday with her husband Friday so will miss next week.........

It's already dark here........autumn is certainly feeling closer.......some of our fruit trees are yielding apples and pears already.........maybe 3 weeks earlier than usual......will get them boxed up and over to our farmer neighbour who does all sorts of lovely things with them........

Won't be a late night tonight..........sleepy.

 

[Robo56]

Tell her she has lots of hugs and good wishes from the Sans family coming her way. She will find her way once she settles in. Hugs for you too Monykalyn. It's hard to see your littles cry .

 

[tink1957]

monyk...it's really hard to see our kids suffer. I think she will be fine once she settles in and if guest interaction is her focus, she will have plenty at CBR.

Robo, Coven was my favorite season of AHS...I can't wait to see what they dream up for it.

Janet, hope your back is feeling better today

I hear my timer beeping on the smoked bbq pork chops...time to make the roasted potatos.

Fall 2019

We always giggle at how long it takes for things to be built in Orlando and the south for that matter. No incentives in place typically to get 'er done ahead of schedule. I could go on, but won't lol

Hey, you're insulting many of my favored casinos lol

Seriously, it's incredibly cheap looking, however they aren't the only park guilty of that sort of hotel construction lately

First thing i thought was, oh great, more members buying in who will be looking to bolt at the 7 month mark to land somewhere else in the DVC portfolio.

Drool! Sounds way better than the steaks i over-cooked on grilljust pink, not mooing but still tasty

I really need to sit down & watch a season of AHS. Coven is the one i should tape then it seems.

 

[Monykalyn]

Thanks all for DD. She will get over this and be fine, once she works through this. More disappointed that it isn't a "destination" resort like AKL or Poly-where guests come for a reason LOL. Nothing against CBR-I enjoyed our stay here in 2015. OTOH-once holiday season starts and she has regular hours and gets to play while everyone else is working tails off in crowds...

mmm bbq -
Very long day today (computer access issues as one of my places starts the switch over to computer records and away from paper charts), then fire alarm went off-added to 9 hours on site and 2 hour drive (hour there and back). DH wanted a beer so we went to favorite local restaurant/bar. None of us really need to look at menu anymore-even my DS knows how to ask for his salmon (likes the blackened version), plus we know exactly what apps we like. DH still has his dessert from lunch yesterday and cupcakes from today-and he has bloodwork in am for physical-perhaps not the best planning...

Tired too.

and talked to my mom today-Dad figured out what was going on. Will be much easier to get stuff ready for his "surprise" Birthday party now .

First thing i thought was, oh great, more members buying in who will be looking to bolt at the 7 month mark to land somewhere else in the DVC portfolio.

Yes! And then all the griping about how hard it is to book somewhere else at 7 months...

Happy Birthday Janet!
