Something About Nothing............ #14

[Charade67]

Holy cow!! We’re on the third row.

 

[Lynne G]

That’s awesome Charade.

Quiet day, and thankful it is a Saturday. Gas for car and some returns. Thinking pancakes for breakfast.

 

[Lynne G]

Evening is upon us, with a rainy Sunday to come.

Last of fun, as little one returns to school, and back to work routine follows a day later.

Ooh, saw a French chocolate place that makes chocolate things, like anything from a lightbulb to tools. Thinking may have to buy something, so neat to look at. Did buy chocolate items from the pop up Sees Candy. We like their chocolate lolly pops, as well as very good chocolates with various caramel, nuts and nougats pieces. Only time of year the Sees Candy comes around here.

I finally got my new phone

Now trying to set it all up and figure out what am I gonna screw up now
Lol

I need a teenager

 

[tinydancer09]

So I'm sitting here trying to figure out which hotel room I click book on while my husband is asleep and I cannot make a decision. It's 11pm and I'm anxious to book. Anyone have any opinions?

We’re doing a very quick 2 night getaway this month for our 2nd anniversary so that we can see/do all the Christmas stuff. My choices are:
Bay or garden view king at PBH $560 or $492 respectively
Standard king view at RPR for $414
There are other choices but this is what I narrowed it down to. RPR is our “home” and where we go every HHN. We know we love it. I haven’t done PBH since 2016 before we had even met, but it always seems more intimate and anniversary like.
Help be decide. What would you do and why?

I've only done universal hotels at Christmas once and christmas decor and atomosphere matters to me. No idea who does what other than the gingerbread house at RPR.


Also HELLO everyone from the crazy house! We've just recently moved to Jacksonville. Well, outside of. Micah got a new job and we bought a house last month. So, we've been packing, cleaning out his parents house, unpacking, and everything else that goes along with new jobs and new houses! I hope everyone is well. I think of you all often and wish I had some more free time to come hang out these days. Maybe one day I'll slow down a little. Maybe?

 

[Lynne G]

Personally, Tiny, I would pick the garden view Portofino, as the room, and particularly the bathroom, is huge. Plus, let them know it is your anniversary, and you may get lucky, and be bumped to a better room. And Happy Anniversary! Yay! And so nice to see ya here on the SANS. And enjoying your Facebook posts of the fun you are having with the move. Anyway, my opinion on the room. FWIW.

Sigh, up early again. My head does need any alarm most of the time. Only difference is, no need to get moving fast this morning. House feels a bit cool, so made some tea, and under a blanket. Ah, quiet house, and hot tea, thankful.

Little one is leaving today, sad mom. But, wee the semester is almost over, 8 more days of classes, then four days to study for two finals, then five more days to study for the last two. Next semester is set, and there is already talk of where living next year. Seems upper class kids are not guaranteed a dorm room. Eh, if it costs us less, will be a good thing.

Have a sensational Sunday. Hey, homies can say Christmas is this month.



And for Keisha:



Haha ️

And yeah, snow We will see today.

 

[Disxuni]

Good morning, homies! Yay for Christmas, @Lynne G! Also, @macraven if you have any questions hit me up.

Went to see the sunrise and remembered Sunrise Sunday!



Also, @tinydancer09 nice to meet someone more local. I live near Flagler. Congrats on the move and finally settling in and your future trip!

 

[schumigirl]

Good morning from a very hot and Christmassy Orlando and RP!

Having the best time. Flight coming in was excellent......our home from home was again the most welcoming of places to us and enjoying the Christmas atmosphere very much already. Kyle is loving being back.

Did the Macy’s Parade and Castle light show last night......both were amazing.......parks are VERY busy. But fun.

Today is to be hot again, then 2 cold days before it warms up a little...........planning for indoor activities I think next two days.

Park time today again.......

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! A sunrise from Dix, and a live report from Schumi. Hope you both are enjoying that Florida heat.

 

[macraven]

What a lovely way to start Sunday

postings from Tiny, Dix and Schumi
and Lynne

 

[schumigirl]

1st December......

82F.

And Green Eggs and Ham is OPEN!!!



Fabulous day so far.......it is hot with lovely blue skies, albeit a few clouds around!! But there is a lovely breeze blowing which is so good.

Back in room for a little bit.......trying to decide where to eat dinner later tonight......maybe Longhorn?

Hope all are having a lovely Sunday........

 

[Disxuni]

And Green Eggs and Ham is OPEN!!!

Thank you for your input Lynne! I'm glad you've been following along our hectic life. It's been a year for the record books for sure. I'm ready to have Michael behind us and not even think about it anymore and to be completely unpacked and settled. PBH bathrooms are HUGE! I should have booked a deluxe bedroom so that my husband could have had a nice window into the bathroom while I'm showering... hahaha. Wonder if they'll take the phones out on the upcoming refurb.

Also, @tinydancer09 nice to meet someone more local. I live near Flagler. Congrats on the move and finally settling in and your future trip!

Nice to meet you too! We JUST moved to Middleburg/Green Cove Springs back in October. Before then we were between Tallahassee and Port St Joe. I really didn't think I was going to enjoy living here as much as I do, but I really do love it. Flagler is right before 195 hits I4 right? Do you actually live on the coastal region? I ask because I actually own a Beach Vacation Rental business in Port St Joe with my mom so the beach/coast is in my blood.



A follow up to my indecision of hotel. One of my friends who works at universal saw my post and reached out to me. They've helped us take care of our hotel rate and we're staying at the PBH bay view. Genuinely cried tears of joy. Sometimes things just fall into place at the perfectly right time. So excited to be going down to see the christmas stuff! Haven't been in the parks in December since 2015! Cannot wait to have some Sal's pizza and enjoy that Christmas atmosphere at PBH.
I wonder if the lobby at RPR finally got finished and if they have their gingerbread house up <3

@macraven I hope you're doing well these days! Sorry I missed the meet up in October! Our closing ended up getting pushed to the 22nd of october instead of 30th of September.... so we hadn't even moved at that point yet. Now that we're settled I hope to catch some stuff since I'm more local these days

Hope everyone is well. Happy Monday!

I'll leave a nightlight on so no one stubs their toe.

 

[macraven]

Good!
Knew I could count on you so I would not stub my toe tonight

I can remember some years back when it was just you and me posting on the sans in the early morning hours...
Are you still a night owl TinyD?

I know Flager Beach!
My one and only cousin has his home there with his partner
Beautiful area!
Our parents were a family of ten kids
All the adults had many kids also
But cousin Edward and I are the only ones still alive ( he is 4.5 months younger than I am)
For that reason alone, I adore Flager Beach as he lives there

Once I get well, I really should go see him and spend time with them
TinyD since you are married now, guess you don’t keep the same late hours like we used to do
Its a shame that our buddy that left
Being another night owl is not round anymore
5ire there were some ups and downs but he was a nice man
I think you will enjoy Flager area
l lost my parental units 4 years back and buried them in the Bushnel military cemetery

hope you meet dix
She is fun loving and wise
You would like her as she is kind and smart

I hope to be able to see you sometime in the future if you have any free time
Take care

The little green cove springs area that I’ve seen is beautiful, @tinydancer09! I’d say where I live specifically is roughly an estimate of a half hour away from the exit to I-4. I do not technically live on the beach side, actually live closer to 95. But we go to the beach for the sunrise about every other weekend. I’d be cool if we saw each other someday. I’m very happy about the good news regarding your deal and your friend helped. That is absolutely amazing!

Also, @macraven, thanks for the compliment. It’s always nice to hear praise about who you are. I can’t wait to see you again as you’re amazing and generous.

I hope everyone has a good morning! I got up early, then I tried to go back to bed (as usual), but this time I think I did pass out again for an hour, or so. Which normally I don’t. Anywho, going to crawl out and get out the door.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, TinyD got hooked up with a great room rate at PBR, and will have an awesome time celebrating her 2nd anniversary. And seeing all that holiday decor. Woot!

Not the night owl here, but early bird, checking in. See DIx was up early, hope you have a great morning, as I think you are already out the door.

Well, a Monday has arrived. After a 4 day week-end, ugh. Double ugh, as a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for today. Snow will be here, and so far, saying around 3 inches to fall in the afternoon. Yeah, just enough to make the evening commute icky, and icy. Was a very cold rain coming in today. Very dark, and very wet. Seems yesterday we saw bands of heavy rain, and the temps hovering around 37. Brrr. Double brr, as the temps will fall as the day ticks off the hours. So, yep, cooler weather to start the December month. Though December is a pot luck month. Some days we get some quite cold days, and sometimes, hit the 60's and all break out their shorts and T-shirts on those nicer days. We have had Christmas with bone chilling temps, and Christmas with short sleeved shirts. And I am hoping the Western Gulf area gets an usual heat wave, with warm Gulf waters, the 2nd week of January. Yay, cruise countdown is 33 days.

Well, whatever weather you have, have a marvelous Monday, and sing a Christmas song or two, it's the
so while you are singing, you can enjoy a fritter or two.

Hello December 2, 2019. Just think, less than a month from now, you will be known as last year's December 2. Times do go fast.

So need tea. Decided to eat some cereal, but need to find more to eat.

Later homies. And yes, the sweater is on, and a search for the blanket may take place, maybe even shortly. Sigh, cool inside. They only turn on the heat/cool, later in the day. By this afternoon, may feel better in here.

Hello tea. Why yes. Two cups or more.

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all been burning the candle at both ends here

in orderSW sea fire grub, MK hat tree, trails end buffet (yum), AKV tree, and me & my 2 men at Sw

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! A live report and pictures from Keisha! Sounds like you are having a great time.

Gray and more snow to come. And all are not happy about how cold our office still feels. Coffee machine is getting a workout, as is my tea cup.

 

[Disxuni]

Trails End. Yum.

I’m back home already. I always do half days unless I’m staying on property. Always coming back anyway so might as well stroll along and just ride a few things.

I got a new personal best. It’s amazing what you can do when you’re all alone in your MiB car when you’re not distracted by other‘s shots. I also discovered if you shoot the exhaust pipe enough the other’s vehicle won’t spin.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. We has a great time at the concert Friday night. They put on a really good show. I still can't believe what great seats we had.

Yesterday was a lazy day. The cat kept me up most of the night, so I was really tired at church. After lunch I took a 3 hour nap. I didn't get much done until it was time to take B back to campus. Her exams start on Thursday of this week, but her last one will be next Monday. The dorms will close on Wednesday. She will be home with us until January 12.

I have almost finished my Christmas shopping. I bought several things online today. This morning I was trying to buy something for dh and pay using my Pay Pal credit account, but I kept getting an error message. I called the vendor and they said it was a Pay Pal issue. I called PP and they said there was nothing wrong with my account, so it must be a vendor issue. I called the vendor back and they couldn't explain the problem. I was about to go to another company to make the purchase, but decided to try it one more time. That time it finally went through.

Lynne - That chocolate place sounds cool. I would have like to have had a shop like that nearby when I was looking for a gift for B's band teacher. Your daughter's schedule is so different from B's. When does she go back for spring semester?

Mac - Have you figured out the phone yet?

Tiny - Happy anniversary and congrats on the new house. Also congrats on getting a good deal on the room. Hope you have a great vacation.

Disxuni - Beautiful sunrise picture.

Schumi - 82 degrees sounds lovely. I had to look up Green Eggs and Ham. Menu looks interesting.

Keisha - Looks like a fun trip.

Tomorrow I go for a CT scan to make sure there is nothing causing the weird medical issue I have been having. They told me not to eat anything after midnight. My scan is at 4:00. I am not going to be a pleasant person to be around tomorrow.
