Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

It's Friday..........I think!

Slowly getting back to normal........had fabulous sleep last night, so that helps.......

Getting all pictures loaded is so much easier without Photobucket......wish I'd stopped using them years ago. So almost all done now. Didn't realise we'd taken so many!

Hope all have a great Friday and enjoy the tour tonight to those that's there.........

Trouble getting to sleep last night but woke up 15 minutes ago

I’ve fallen behind again in posting. Noting much to report from my end. Today I’m doing laundry and cleaning house.

Chuckers- Your post about cheerleaders and my response about dance teams has invaded my dreams. Last night I dreamed that we were at Universal and I discovered that the competition team from my daughter’s dance school was there for a competition. My daughter and I wer watching them practice.

Tink - Sorry about the tire. My car needs asome work, but I really don’t want to put any more money into it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Monykaylen - Happy belated birthday to your daughter.

Lynne and Robo - Thanks for the pictures.

Schumi - Looking forward to the trip report.

I think I’ll take a little nap before I resume cleaning.

I'm sorry! I usually don't influence anyone's dreams in any manner.

@Lynne G - when you say 'Chew' are talking about 'The Chew' tv show? My sister went and saw a taping of The Chew in NYC. Clinton, Carla, and Michael Symon came into the audience at the end and she said they couldn't have been nicer. Mario, however, was a stuck up snot. (Which doesn't surprise me.. I don't like him.)

Afternoon Sans family resting up for the tour this evening. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.

Have to say so far The Fallen is my favorite house. I like Scarecrow the Reaping and Hive also.....LOL....That might change this evening. I kept seeing something new each time I go into the houses.

Enjoyed doing the UMH tour with Mac yesterday.

I really liked the artistry that went into creating Dead Waters. Very well done.

I would love to live in the
Trick ‘r Treat scare zone.....I love all the carved pumpkins in the trees

 

[macraven]

So nice you posted the pics Robbie!

A very long day.....

Left the tour about 1:35
Two in the group stayed to hit one more house

Did all the houses twice and some a third time
I think I can say we all were tired at the end of the night

Wonderful group of homies
From the sans we had Janet and her main squeeze, Lynne, goofy figment and her man, Robbie and her sis, and myself and two newbies who are readers but not regular dis posters

Oh man, did we have fun !

 

[macraven]

After the one burst of rain about 5:30, weather was so much better

Most of us hustled to buy ponchos

Dry the rest of the evening and no more rain a bit after 6

Hope all that go to hhn this year won't have to deal with rain

Glad to hear everything went well and you all had so much fun! And the weather did pick up.......fantastic........it's never fun when it rains.

Hope you can sleep late and get rested up, that was a long day!


I'm up watching qualifying for Japanese Grand Prix........still waiting on my nephew email me how his first HHN was.......they stay at Gaylord Palms so doubt they'll be back there yet.....

Definitely bacon for breakfast this morning.........had a prosecco night last night..........

 

[Lynne G]

Hello homies. I went to bed at 2:30, up at 5:30. Oh well. Yesterday was fun, and a long day with HHN. Was so warm once the rain moved on. Muggy, the word of the day.

Yes, meant The Chew, Chuckers. I put my name in for three morning tapings, and at the last minute, also asked for one afternoon, that I really would not have rathered. Well, only one I won was the afternoon one. So, I decided it was better than nothing. Last year I also saw them, and it was so much better last year. But if I get a chance to see them again, I probably would go if guaranteed to have a seat.

Up, dinner with some homies from last night. Yum.

Yay! It is Saturday! Enjoy!

 

[Robo56]

Up this morning finally. Didn’t get to bed till 2:30. Latest I have been up in ages. Opened the drapes.....LOL...and like a vampire had to close them immediately do to bright sun.....LOL..

Had the best time last night on Macs VIP Tour. All her planning made for a fantastic evening.

It was so nice meeting up with some of the Sans family...Mac, Lynne, Goofy figment and her hubby, Keishashadow and her hubby, hanging with my sis and meeting our two other tour members Ron and Jeff. It was such a nice group of folks to hang out with on a tour for sure.

Mac picked the best tour guide at Universal for our tour. Such a nice guy.

Thank you Mac for all your planning. You made it a night I will will not forget for sure.

It's Saturday morning, time for a Friday Night Football update:

Well, somebody went and poked the bear (or Bulldog, in our case)...we have been ranked number 3 in the state for the last few weeks, and an article hit the local paper, this week, saying we were among the 'Pretenders' in an article on Contenders, Pretenders and Spoilers.

We were facing our third, and final, Division II Class AA opponent of the year and it was expected to be a very tight game as the last two years came down to a three overtime loss to them and them forfeiting a game to us (weather), last year. So, nobody saw what happened coming...we bloodied them up real good...56-21.

Our boys were furious about the article and came out blazing.

So, we got the job done playing above our weight class for the year...won 3 out of 4.

Now, we have two of our three biggest Region rivals this week and next...home this week and then we finish the regular season with two road games...one of which is going to be for the Region title...that is in two weeks. The final game, we should win, but we will see.

If we take care of business in those games, we will have home field throughout the playoffs.

The starting senior is back, so youngest son is back in a backup role. On the coaches' radio show, this morning, they talked about him quite a bit and how much they appreciate him for stepping up and that he has been their biggest surprise of the year and they feel they can plug him in without missing a beat, when needed...proud dad moment...thought his mom was gonna' cry...okay, she did, a little.

Wish us well.

 

[macraven]

I wish you well!

 

[Charade67]

Wagman - Best of luck for the rest of the team’s season. Sounds like your son is going to do very well in his high school football years. Our team won last night, but just barely. We are 4-2 so far.

My Ravenclaw Tardis shirt arrived today. It looks great. I have it in the wash right now. This afternoon my daughter and I are going to make a test batch of butter beer fudge. She is in a Harry Potter club at school and next week they are having a Halloween party. Since we’ve never made fudge before, we want to do a test run to make sure it tastes okay.

Love all the pictures from last night's tour with @macraven ! The trick or treat scare zone looks fabulous! There's no treats only tricks right?? I have a private tour planned 10/29 with my family. It'a getting close- and you guys are definitely ramping up the excitement with your pictures- keep 'em coming!

 

[schumigirl]

Mac, glad to hear the tour went well, sounded like fun!


Trying to watch original Blade Runner..........almost over.......it's been a long movie. Not sure I'll bother with the new one..........

Sorted out all my pictures today........dont think we took as many this year, but that was deliberate.......although some days more than others.........


And, last night we booked our flights for next year..........both trips

Yep, we added an extra trip in May........no parks on this trip, staying 10 nights at the beautiful Sapphire Falls Resort and we really want to try it out. We really do like that resort, especially Strongwater Tavern .......so we plan to be lazy, have some pool days, drive around and make NO plans whatsoever.......

September we have our usual 19 nights at RPR........still our home from home resort.........

Both hotels all sorted today

Think that is the shortest time between coming home and rebooking we have ever had.........

So, our countdown can begin again.........216 days till May trip........341 days till September trip........not that I count of course.........

Rental cars and Radisson at airport just needs to be booked for both trips and we're sorted! Planning over........

Have a great Saturday night.........

 

[tink1957]

Woohoo on booking your next trips Carole...great way to beat those post vacation blues...I was looking at SF and also considering it for our HHN 28 adventure or maybe a small Christmas trip if I could recover from the last one.

Wags congrats on the victory and best of luck in the next ones

Glad mac, Robo, Lynne and the gang had fun on the tour...maybe next year I can join you...sounds like a blast

We're under a tropical storm warning for the second time in a month...Irma now Nate and it hasn't rained much since Irma. We need the rain just not all at once.

[Chuckers]

Happy Saturday/Sunday all! I just picked up the new iPhone 8+ today... it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I can't wait to try out the camera, from what I've seen it takes gorgeous picture. On of the things I really love about it is the cordless charging.. that's SO cool!

Thanks Vicki........quite excited about it......well, really excited if I`m honest.........we were surprised last year how much we did like SF first time we saw it........and Strongwater Tavern is our favourite bar!! I had planned to give Tom a week or so before I began to mention picking dates, but bless him it was him that said we need to get booked up.......I had those flights booked before he could blink

Good luck with your weather.......yes rain is needed for you but spaced out would be better.........
