Good morning everyone

Got the pumpkin song stuck in my head so DD just put her phone on my dresser with the song on full blast ...now I'm good.

Nice lazy morning since I have to go into work at 2.

Love the lamp Robo.......Halloween has been kinda ignored so far for us this year.......it`s going to creep up on me before I know it.......

It`s not a huge thing over here sadly..........kids mainly go trick or treating and a few of us decorate homes......but definitely not like the USA

Enjoy that morning Vicki........we`ve done nothing today......well DH had his yearly check up this morning, then went out for lunch, nothing fancy......and I have that feeling I`ve forgotten something.........hate when I feel that.........

Not sure what`s for dinner tonight......something light for us and I may make Kyle mac n cheese.........

Have a great Tuesday.........

Weather has changed here
Warm for daytime but heat on at night


Started pork rib roast in crock pot this morning
Will add the BBQ later today

Easy meal and my first I have made in weeks
I start my vacation of no cooking days before I go on vacation......

The only time I see kids in my hoa is Halloween
They come in cars and parents park a block away
Gather their kids up once done

It's a fun time to give out candy
I only buy candies I would eat
No lollipops or junk candy !

Off for some lab work in a bit

An easy going day for me

Good morning everyone

Do I want to know what the pumpkin song is?

 

[Chuckers]

I don't think I am going to be doing Halloween this year.. I've started working Tuesday nights and people only trick or treat in our area from 5 pm to 9 pm. I remember when we used to be out until midnight running around getting candy.

For the last 2 years, I sat outside with my neighbors giving out candy. It was fun. I sit outside so I don't have to worry about the cats getting out every time I opened the door. Plus, I have a black cat and I don't want him to get loose on Halloween... people are strange about that.. especially here in Massachusetts, so close to Salem.

Sorry about that! (Not really.. ) I haven't heard that song in a while.. I love it!

I gave out candy (or tried to in 2005 when I first moved into the house) but we don't have many kids in the neighborhood so I haven't purchased any candy since. I guess they go to the other neighborhoods for candy.

From what I was told, ALL the other kids used to come to our association for candy.. by bus loads. Our community was the only nice area for a while. Buses would park on the road leading up to our entrance and just drop the kids off and wait. It got so some houses were seeing upwards of 200 kids. The community put a stop to that before I moved in.

Yep, we only get about a dozen, though there are more young families on our street than before. My Dbro lives in a neighborhood that each house seems to have multiple kids. He routinely gets 200 or more. I give him my left over candy. I had to buy more. Apparently, kids and DH got into my bucket. Pumpkin carving this weekend.

AAAAAAccckkk so much to catch up on! Sounds like all had lovely trips (except for the one felled by illness-hope he is fully recovered now!)
And yay to new trips planned!

Got back from quick girls trip to see my CM DD (its been a week ago tomorrow!). Did our first MNSSHP on the 10th-had a blast! Caught a few magic shots too. Loved the stage show and had the parade music stuck in my head for days. DD wanted a pic with Jack Sparrow-such good interaction with him! We even got 7 Dwarfs at end of night with no wait. MiL and SiL enjoyed Food and wine festival (we managed to hit 14 booths in 2 days), including the passionfruit grand marnier slushies in France. They tended to tire out around 9 pm or so, so DD and I would hit whatever park was still open late. Fun to get time with her. And managed to snag FoP FP for all of us-glad we did as they loved the attraction!
And when MiL was talking about trip after we got back (she stayed night at our house as she took middle kid out for her birthday-which was yesterday) and MiL said it has been years since Disney and she can't remember Universal-DH pipes up and wants to know when we are going back to Universal! Mmmmm-how about we plan for a long weekend next fall??

we come in on 25th (maybe 24th as GD is freaking out Laurie Hernandez is doing Candlelight processional & her parents are considering a long weekend

We will be there as well-although I am still undecided on staying for CP. We arrive 18th and leave the 26th. staying at Marriott Cypress Harbour. So only 30 something days until we are back
And I had DD book us at Coronado Springs for 12/30-1/2. Plan to move offsite 1/2-1/4 as her program ends the 4th-and I figure we will be helping her clean and pack the last 2 days. Just DH and I for NYE though-pretty excited about that!

How about the rest of you? What # of days do you prefer, all things considered (budget, work/family obligations)?

~12-13 days is good if I can have my way, with all the family along. Hoping to do that next May/June for one last trip out of our AP's to WDW. Just a few days onsite before moving offsite to our timeshare.

Would it be weird if I sit out on Halloween and skip the candy things and just drink? Asking for a friend.

Before we moved back to my hometown in '13, we lived in a neighborhood just like your bro's. Kids would be dropped by the carloads. Now, we get my 4 nieces. Over and done.

If you don't like it, wait a few hours and it will change !

I came back past weekend and temps would be in the mid 90's and later would drop

I grew up in an area of high humidity so Orlando weather was not an issue for me

Historically, Orlando has temps in the upper digits on October mid month
Temps can be up or down

Have been there at times where a jacket was needed when sun went down

Enjoy your vacation
Studios has more indoor rides
So do Rhodes if the heat bothers you

Actually, I was talking about where I live. I'm in Southern California, about 1 hour south east of Disneyland. We are having those late October heat waves we always get. Right now it's 7:30pm and 80 out. We will be in Orlando first week of December and last time we had amazing weather. Hoping we get mild weather again. Not too hot, not too cold but just right.

Second night of poor sleep. I hate feeling so sleepy yet so wide awake. Today I was waiting for my daughter at her music lessons. I was so sleepy, then someone down the hall started playing Lullaby and Goodnight. I had to walk around the music store to keep myself awake. I should be trying to sleep now, but forgot that we were supposed to make butterbeer fudge for my daughter’s Harry Potter club party this week.

Chuckers - You are cracking me up with your countdowns.

Robo - Love the lamp.

Macraven - I’m with you. I only buy the good candy. On the chance there might be leftovers, it might as well be something I like.

I’m not sure what the Halloween crowds are like in my neighborhood. We have only lived her a little over a year. Last year we goofed and went to supper first. By the time we got home there were only a couple of trick-or-treaters left. This year we will give out candy first, then go to supper. My daughter loves dressing up and handing out the candy.

Dizneedoll - I may be headed your way in the summer of 2019. We are thinking of going to Hollywood after my daughter graduates high school. We are seriously considering a side trip to Disneyland while we are ou there.

Almost time to check on the fudge.

I moved from Chicago to Georgia 20 months ago

I'd be wearing a coat now if I was still up North

Where we are now the ac is on
Had a cool night yesterday and had the heat on

My temps can be like florida
It might be hot or warm or cold
Hard to guess the Florida weather for uour vacation time

Last year it was about 78 here at Christmas time .....


Hope the weather is great when you are at the darkside this December

Charade save some fudge for me!

I hear you about having insomnia
Have bouts of it too

It's maddening to go through
Have you tried drinking?

I don’t drink anything alcoholic, but it might be time to think about getting a sleep aid. I thought I had some Simply Sleep, but it must have got thrown out. That reminds me, it’s probabl time to go through medications and check expiration dates.
