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

[Charade67]

Good morning. I don't have much on the agenda today. I am currently covering my gray hair. Waiting for time to be up so I can wash out the solution. DH is at the gym. When he returns we are going shopping for Hallmark Christmas ornaments. I usually wait and by them the day after Christmas when they go on sale, but there are a few this year that we really want and are afraid will sell out before Christmas.

Replacement? No way! I really miss that ride. This is opposite end of spectrum. Hi tech but if u look can see they overlaid some of the original ride /buildings. It appears to be very popular, loooong lines

When I was at Disney last year it was so sad seeing the ride closed. We will give the new one a chance. Dh and B say that they will wear their Gray Movie Ride shirts in sort of a silent protest.

merry Xmas to me. You’re either a fan or not, I’m all in especially when Haunted Mansion themed. DH looked them all for best pattern placement. May keep him

Cute bag. I am always in search of the perfect small handbag.

I don't think I have ever asked dh to hold my bag while I shopped. He surprised me once several years ago. Remember when bags with classic celebrities were popular? I had seen one with Audrey Hepburn on it, but didn't buy it. A few weeks later dh gave it to me as an anniversary gift. He's not usually that observant.

Looks like we are going to o have another nice day. Hope the weather is this nice when we go back to Busch Gardens in 2 weeks.

I did have a good time @schumigirl and @Robo56! I managed to stay alive. I had a good time with both @Lynne G and @macraven. Due to the weather, especially since it's going to be storming / raining for quite a few days I probably won't be back anytime soon. I got to eventually do my school work again.

But generally anyone if you're gonna be in the area and interested in meeting just reach out and see if I can swing it, or not. If anything can always plan way into the future. I'm kind of shy so I don't really reach out first. Almost all my friendships I've created in life is, because someone else made the first move.

Amazing pics @keishashadow I've eaten there before and it's really good! Also, I love HM everyone! So I love the bag! @Realfoodfans I hope the brunch is awesome! I love going out to brunch. Haven't done it in ages. And I hope you have a lot of gems waiting for you for your ornament shopping @Charade67! @J'aime Paris I hope the lunch was a good yesterday!

Woke up this morning to find out apparently my friends wanna dress up for Halloween for when we celebrate my birthday that weekend at the HR. Since there are three of us naturally we thought of the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus. I'll have to grab bits and pieces of different outfits and what not to make mine as the few costumes I found do not have my size, not even in "plus" size. I may have lost a few inches, but I guess not enough yet.

Hope all the homies have a good weekend!

 

[schumigirl]

Yes it was nice to spend time with you Lynne!

Waiting at island for 20 minutes now as I used an AE check for my breakfast

They just told they don’t give cash back down stairs at islands on AE checks

So server has gone to the lobby front desk to get change.
Cash back is $39 and already gave her a cash tip so here I still wait.

Breakfast was very good and done perfect

So if you any of you plan to use AE checks, be prepared for a wait.

Glad breakfast was good.....one of our favourite onsite places to eat......

Sounds like a fun plan for Halloween Disx, you`ll find something to wear for a costume.....and hope your weather doesn`t get too bad......




Our heavy rain arrived......think the whole of the UK is being hit in some way by storm Alex.......heavy rain to normal people.....why they feel the need to name any weather front hitting us now is weird......hurricanes I can understand........

Picked up my new boots......love em!! Ordered another pair of ankle boots this afternoon too......black suede, but will be ideal for casual. Will pick them up Monday morning before we set off.

We have had the lamps on in any room we`ve been in today....so dark.

Take out tonight........thinking Indian food.......then might get Tom to bring suitcase down for us.......actually probably leave it till tomorrow.......no rush.

@keishashadow Love your new D&B!!!
I have haunted mansion one thats a few years old and I still use it every October.

 

[Charade67]

Ornament shopping did not go as well as expected. We no longer have a Hallmark store in our city and the nearest one is an hour away. Fortunately our local Ace Hardware store has a small Hallmark section. I was able to get the Captain America and Ant Man ornaments, but they did not have Iron Man or Black Widow. I ended up just ordering them online.
The Hallmark rep was in the Ace store and I chatted with her for a few minutes. I actually know her from work. She used to be a client at my office. Because of HIPAA I was very careful about not mentioning work. I told dh that her son had graduated high school with B, which is true. Just as we we going to check out she said, "Tell [therapist] I said Hi." Oh well, not a HIPAA violation if she is the one who brings it up.

We are now watching college football. Our school is ahead right now.

Saw several worn today. When u do ride look for an amusing poster Easter egg paying homage of a sort to the ride

Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus. I'll have to grab bits and pieces of different outfits

the best costumes r home made! Just bought the tshirt with the sisters hair styles

I have it too lol my fav

Saw pregame on tube at miller’s. The pros say no way but told DH we had to root for them lol

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Not sure if anyone has trips planned with this being part of them, hadn’t seen anything posted about it yet so I figured I’d post a screenshot of the email I got the other day.

 

[Lynne G]

Paris, you are welcome. I enjoy taking pictures and got a great 2 year deal for the park pictures, so why not get as many ride ones I can.

Made steak sandwiches, no wiz in this home. Just square cheese. And older one requested mac and cheese, so lots of carb dinner tonight. Was tasty.

Was a beautiful Fall day, started out clear, by afternoon saw some puffy white clouds, but none ever blocked the sun. Was a short sleeve and lightweight pants kinda day. Though I did see shorts on some. Yep, where I live, as long as above 50 degrees out, shorts are totally acceptable. Jackets stayed in the car, and many of the stores felt too warm.

Charade, we have a big Hallmark store in all of our 4 local malls. If there is something you need me to lookout for, let me know. I used to collect the ornaments, but stopped a few years ago, as have more than I need, and we bring out less and less to put on the tree. I do like their wrapping paper and cards.

Quiet Saturday night. And you know it is a boring night, as little one said nothing good on, so a movie will be viewed on more than one screen.

Whatever your Saturday night is, I hope you enjoy it, and have a most sound sleep.

 

[Disxuni]

I'm looking forward to it as I haven't stayed in the HR in year @schumigirl and thank you and @keishashadow the words of encouragement. I definitely should be able to whip something up.

@Charade67 Glad you were able to pick up a little bit of something at least at Ace. You can hit the Hallmark that is further away another time!

Steak sandwiches sounds good, @Lynne G! A beautiful fall day sounds good right about now.

However, this evening wasn't too bad. I decided to go with my dad to St Augustine and we had a little bit of a walk.



Good timing though, because once we got back to the car it started to rain. It’s supposed to rain all night.

 

[Lynne G]

Good night light, for those dreaming of some Halloween fun.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Our Hallmark in the UK don’t stock such a great range as the US. Nothing was in the shop last week (admittedly a small one mostly cards in our little town). Online I was able to order a Disney 2020 collectible one but no superhero at all even online. I would love to find some for J’s tree in his room!
Coffee and news channel at the moment - meet-up with DS and DIL at 11 so will have to get moving soon!
Peaceful Sunday to everyone x

We love St Augustine Disx.........beautiful place and the view by the water is gorgeous. We spent a lot of time just sitting near the fort enjoying the views...so many gorgeous restaurants too.

And Flagler College......wow.....not to mention The Governers House, Casa Monica and all those gorgeous bed and breakfasts dotted around..........all stunning. There is so much history there, I think we could spend a week there easily.......






Beautiful Sunday morning here....sun is out, but won`t last, cloud forecast for most of us all day today. Looked on the harbour cam where mum lives and it`s horrible.......I love those cameras where you can see areas you know well live.......will be mid 50`s most of the day......

Bacon was lush..........and later this morning than usual.

Few little bits to pick up today and my friend with the puppy Poppy is popping around to drop off something for us to drop off to another friend who lives where we are heading tomorrow......look forward to see her and the puppy......

And will get Tom to get the suitcase down........

Dinner is a rib roast which I`ll slow cook and roast potatoes with a red wine sauce.......nice!

[keishashadow]

where be our plane? Few things worse than a Crack of dawn flight

safe travels tomorrow Carole

can’t wait see my pooch, kids too

here’s to a bright & shiney new week to us all

 

[macraven]

Good Monday morning homies

Next to last day at the Darkside for me

No tears as when I come back the next time, masks will
have been tossed for the parks ...... maybe

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels to Keisha and Mac. Was great to say hello to you both, and hope to have some HHN fun next year. Yeah. With no masks.


And safe travels to Schumi too.

Beautiful sunrise, and sunny Sunday. Love this quiet house, as have no idea when kids went to bed. Just after midnight was enough for me. Tea and hmm, have to see, thought I saw cookies yesterday. Goes good with tea.

And so, back to routine day has already started. Alarm turned back on, wash has been started hours ago. Food shopping and getting the trash out day. Yep, a ready for the week is our routine Sunday.

Ah yes, and the time of year, Sunday means our pro Football games. Let’s hope our boo birds get a win this week. I am sure the game wi be on one of our screens.


Super happy Sunday to you all.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Yummy brunch today - place was buzzing but very well organised and we had a huge table so plenty of room for the dogs too.


Apologies the picture is sideways - strange this happens sometimes! I struggled to finish this but certainly were the best pancakes I’ve had this side of the Atlantic.
Everyone chose different meals but all were enjoyed. We had more coffees and more chat and home now after a stroll with the dogs.
Weather much nicer than predicted so a very pleasant Sunday.

Booked to go pumpkin picking next weekend - will decorate the front porch then though (hopefully) we will be away on actual Halloween

 

[macraven]

It’s a rainy Sunday
But tonight is walking dead...

It will fill my evening of course

I did some rides and passed on some that were crowded

Too many peeps in the park right now and they have lines now to get in

I’m off to Seuss land now!

 

[Lynne G]

Have fun your last day, Mac. Good to avoid crowds, and stay inside with that rain.


Yum, Julie. That looks delicious. Nice you can bring your dog with you.

Dix, sounds fun. Yep, look around, can piece together a Sander sister outfit.


Ooh, 68 out. Mom is happy, but little one is annoyed it is not cool enough to wear her favorite Adidas sweatshirt. Once again, acorn did not fall off this tree. She loves the cold. Sigh.

 

[macraven]

I have tomorrow yet for the parks

Rainy here but at potters now
Just a short day in the parks for me as it is rainy and I have a date with WD much later today.....

Not many in the back of the parks at this time but assume crowds will start again after all get lunch

Schumi if I miss you, have a great vacation tomorrow.

Keisha, how does it feel to sleep in your own bed again?
Too bad you have to go back and cook every day again now you are home.

A shout out to all the homies!

 

[keishashadow]

I’m oh so ready for TWD & the new show afterwards

Keisha, how does it feel to sleep in your own bed again?

I won’t know until tonight lol. Will say I prefer my new memory foam topped mattress over those I encountered on trip. One at HRH was, well, really hard & rather lumpy

had a platform bed at WDW that was so high I had to take a bit of a running start to land on top of it. Wound up moving mattresses over a bit so I could get a toe hold. Wound up giggling every time I made that climb

Too bad you have to go back and cook every day again now you are home.

Who says I’m going to cook? Visited the colonel in the way home for a few buckets. Have to slide slowly back into that groove or you might hurt yourselfis anyone buying this malarkey?

need to hit the grocery store for fresh foods after the long haul to drop car off for recall repairs Them do it all over to retrieve it. Welcome home indeed
