Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Sniff, our last 2 rides were the train (see how lovely the decor is) and the old potter ride with Harry.

Yes Keisha, closed for capacity and not closing. Longest Express line was 60 minutes. Sigh, it is that time of year. Yes we do Hell Week, and yes we had fun. So sorry to hear your mom not doing well. Does indeed stink to get old.

Nice to hear Robo, Agave, Mac, Keisha, Charade, Schumi and Chuckers all had a great Christmas.

Quick ride to the airport and no lines anywhere. Now the long wait, but we would rather have that then stressing to be on time.

Have an awesome New Year’s Eve homies!

It always sucks when a vacation ends

Safe travels for you Lynne



Hope no snow piled up on your car if you drove to the airport (up north that is)

Good afternoon. Today has been a day of laundry and reorganizing Christmas stuff. We have no plans for tonight. It’s too cold for me to be out anyway.

Robo - I have 2 of these ornament boxes.

In the past I have just wrapped ornaments in tissue paper and put one in each slot. It’s always been kind of a pain since I have to unwrap everything to see what it is, and the tissue is always tearing. What I saw on Pinterest is to use small Solo cups in each slot and put the ornaments inside the cups.

I have come to the conclusion that we have way too many ornaments. I have a large plastic tote that is full of Hallmark ornaments.

Safe travels to Lynne.
Hello to everyone else.

 

[Metro West]

Make sure that the weather in Orlando is good in 9 days!!!

I'll do my best..it's gonna be COLD as you know what towards the end of the week.

Came in to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Got my ticket for the Mecum Auction today...going Saturday and can't wait! I've watched the auctions on television but now I get to experience it in person!

Be safe tonight!

 

[schumigirl]

I just posted an almost identical picture today Lynne......how funny! Safe journey home........

Todd, glad you got your plans for the auction in place......should be good, I had a glance at the website.......looks interesting..........have a super new year my friend........



Had a lovely New Years Eve........all 3 of us went out earlier for dinner to our village pub........they have a beautiful restaurant attached and serve lovely home cooked food......none of the manufactured prepackaged stuff........and it was lovely......they had the fire roaring away and it was full, food was top notch and plentiful.........everyone was having a lovely time.......

After dinner we went through to the bar area and had another drink but left before the karaoke started........ then came home........quiet night waiting for midnight which is less than an hour away for us now........

So, Happy New Year everyone........hope 2018 is everything you want it to be for you.......

Happy New Year's Eve all! Does Charlie Brown have a rump shaking character that drops it to the floor? Baby got back nwahahaha as if


Keep checking up to the last minute. Did u make FP for AK or save for MK?

I don't think Charlie Brown characters twerked I made an AP for Everest in AK. My time in MK is with a friend and she hasn't even bought her ticket yet, so FP's for that park wouldn't work.

I'll do my best..it's gonna be COLD as you know what towards the end of the week.

Came in to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year back to you... Weather.com is still predicting upper 60s/mid 70s during the day.. that's good enough for me.. I don't mind cool nights.

Makes me want to cry reading your post

Sad that your trip is off as you and the fam were looking for a fun together time

But, you can rebook for early spring and weather will be better in Orlando

Agree that it would be crummy to do a trip with many sickies
You would probably not be able to enjoy the vacation With many feeling lousy

Hopefully you will be able to snag good room rates for March!

Helping mom is so good of you !

Happy New Year Y'all!
Too sweet Mac. Thanks to those kind words, and youse others too. LG...Safe travels!
I know one thing...(shocking-I know)...There's literally no way I could've done theme parks the past 4-5 days-my legs are like jello after being sick and crumbly the last 11 days. The kids seem to be handling it better than Momma and I...we desperately needed that break from this madhouse. Grabbed a Spring Brk discount at AofA at pretty significant savings. RP and HR are still at rack, and most likely will stay there for Mar 14-16. Airfare is almost as bad as Christmas/New Years though. I'll hafta get back in my planning mode soon, but not quite into it right now. Headed to Mom's in the morning if I feel up to it. We spent several hours this weekend "winter proofing" the cousin's house in case it gets too cold for his pipes. Where is Bluer?

 

[macraven]

Buckeev a week from now you and yours will all be back to 100% better

That’s what my crystal ball shows .....

It is always sad to cancel a trip
But with a new one booked, it might ease the pain of the unfortunate cancelled one

You are such a good helper
Taking care of cousin and tomorrow mom

You are a good man Charlie Brown...

Homies!!!


Happy New Year

Ok, now I’am going to sleep. Happy New Year Sans Family.

 

[Charade67]

Happy New Year!!
I’m going back to sleep now.

 

[Squirlz]

We watched a lot of web coverage of NYE from Key West. Then I checked and found our room is available between Christmas and NYE next year. Dangerous information!

 

[Robo56]

Morning sleepy heads. Having coffee this morning in my HHN mug. Looking forward to a great year of Universal fun this year.

Charade67 that is a great idea to store ornaments.

Bring out food in stages. Appetizers first, chicken wings (go Steelers!) pastas & taters next, then the pork/kliebassa/kraut around 10 pm. Then they are on their own

Wow! Keisha what a spread of food for your party guests. You spoiled them for sure with your yummy goodies.

So sorry to hear about your mom. It’s hard to watch them have all the medical problems as they age . She is blessed to have such a sweet daughter looking after her.

agavegirl 1 So sorry to hear of the loss of a family member. My condolences to you and your family

Arrived 15 minutes early, then waited 50 minutes to get our luggage. But, safe and uneventful. DH had the car toasty.

Had to make a grocery and gas run. Apparently, DH did not shop much and used my car.

So, Happy New Year to all the homies. May 2018 be the best one yet.

Schumi, that is funny we have almost the same picture. I doubt I could write as lovely trip report.

With that, have to see if the oven is ready. Pizza for lunch then birthday dinner. Parental unit is 90 today.

Ooh, kids got me coffee. Later homies.

 

[macraven]

For someone that came home late night, you are back to your schedule and up early


Work tomorrow?

Glad you had a great vacation

 

[macraven]

Have fun at the parental units birthday bash celebration

90 is a sweet number

 

[wagman67]

Good morning all...HAPPY NEW Year!!!

Been a few weeks since I stopped by, because it has been a really bad health month...several bad things (the flu, duodenitis, an ulcer, and an esophagus infection), horrible experiences (liquid diet, low acid diet, two scopes, prepping for one of those scopes) and meds galore. But, at the end of the day, nothing life-threatening, so thankful for that.

I am very much on the mend.

So, not gonna read the last 20 pages to catch up, but I hope all of you have been healthy and some of you I hope had great vacations and others I hope are looking good for their imminent vacations. I hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Here's to a great 2018!!!

 

[macraven]

So glad to hear from you Wag

My all your Illneses
be behind youse now .....


Have a healthy 2018!

 

[schumigirl]

Hugs to buckeev and Wagman........best wishes to you both........



Well, it’s 2018.........year of doing something different........

Try to ignore troublemakers and stirrers........


Had a lovely New Years Day.......nice dinner with a few friends dropping in here and there........quiet night tonight though.......

Tomorrow all decorations and trees come down........not looking forward to that, every room looks a little duller without the trees in them......got a friend coming to help DH to take down all the outdoor ones.......not a fun job.

But, hope everyone has had a lovely New Year.........

 

[Chuckers]

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

@Charade67 you made it longer than I did.. ball dropped.. I went to bed.

I worked at GameStop today and it was dead! At least we had time to start cleaning the store after the holiday bombing runs done by the customers! All the titles are supposed to be in alphabetical order... yeah.. that fell by the wayside sometime around mid December.

Back to the regular job tomorrow.. but it's a short week!!!
