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

My view waiting for food and Starbucks:


Disappointed with Starbucks now charging for my vanilla or caramel pumps (usually 3) .80 a cup, when it was free up to yesterday. Think their coffee is expensive as it is without adding an additional $1.60.

Light rain shower went over us not that long ago, but all getting dry, as it’s muggy and sunny again.

My view waiting for food and Starbucks

Such a gorgeous view. I wish I was there too.

B just booked a hotel stay at Universal for January. The AP rate for Terra Luna is currently at $88 so I suggested she go ahead and secure it now. She had a problem with booking. She doesn’t have a credit card, so had to use her debit card. It kept asking for a valid expiration date even though she put in the correct date. I ended up calling and discovered that since the expiration date was before the trip date it was not accepted. This makes no sense since the room deposit is charged immediately. I ended up putting the deposit on my credit card and told her she could pay me back. She doesn’t currently have an AP, but I am considering buying her one for Christmas.

Fabulous Friday is here, and why not spend it at MK.

Next Saturday I’ll be in MK.
Booked our LLs today.

Had to visit for some park fun and enjoy City Walk, before ride to airport. Took us, 20 minutes from the garages, and now waiting for boarding. No line at pre-check, and only one entering the rental return. Also shocked at little line at Costco gas, before our USO fun.

Saw a spectacular early afternoon thunderstorm from a table under the roof of the outside of Louie’s. We had just left inside there, and got a few large raindrops fall on us, and we got lucky, and was not wet from that table we sat at. Then oh so muggy and warm.

USO store in City Walk expanded into where Cinabun and that surf shop were, to include a Nintendo section. And, sadly to us, the Starbucks at the start after entering from the garages is now near the escape places. Wonder what will go in that old Starbucks space.

Almost time for our on time flight. Agent at gate said we are one of the few flights that will be on time. Overheard many being delayed or cancelled. Weather delays, this time of year. At least we didn’t get rained on the way back.

Had a fabulous time, didn’t get caught in the rain, that only fell a couple of times the whole time we were there and sailing. And even sweeter, countdown reset to 2 months. And an evening flight down. Boo. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do to only book direct flights. At least a longer time. Party fun and HHN fun during that coming up trip. Yay!

Hope all are enjoying this weekend before our Forth of July Friday this coming week. 3 day weekend to my week day routine end? Woot!

Happy last day of June. Still nothing interesting to write about. Today’s excitement was a tiny lizard that was in the waiting room of my office. It was very quick, but a client was finally able to catch it and put it back outside.

I had to call Universal today because B never got an email confirmation for her hotel stay and my credit card has not been charged. The TM couldn't find her reservation anywhere in the system but did find another person with the same name who booked a stay at the Portifino. I got the room booked and wrote down the confirmation number. Now we will just wait and see if there are any changes to tickets or AP’s before the end of the year. I need to renew my AP in December. I might get B one for Christmas.

Nice Christmas gift, Charade. Little one has the lowest pass, as we go when her block outs days are not. I renewed it for her this year, as 4 trips using it this year. Maybe 5 if we decide some holiday cruising fun.

Ah, was not feeling well these last couple of days. Threw up more times than I was hoping not to. First time today, that I’m eating food that stays down. Still have a headache, but that’s hopefully going away soon. I have been taking drugs, to help with the nausea and awfully painful headache that came with it.

And so, we are at mid week this holiday first week of July. Wow, June seems to have flown by so fast. And, who do I see today?



Yep, windshield wipers were on, on that almost dark predawn commute. Lighter rain, then heavier rain as I drove. More heavier rain failing the closer I got. Umbrella will get a workout today.

But yay, at the mid week already, as we get over this hump of a wet day Wednesday feeling, then that most fabulous Friday, the 4th of July, is then a day away. Woot! Holiday coming up.

And glad the next one, will be a fun day, as night flight the day before little one’s 24th birthday. She gets to spend her birthday night at TL, for D23’s Kuzcotopia event. Woot, countdown less than 60 days now. Starlight fun and H2O TL fun this trip too, as I said why not take the later Starlight tour time slot, as day we wanted had both time slots open, when we bought it mid afternoon on our 60 day out day. Hoping that means lower crowds when we go. Heard those Starlight tours sell out fast sometimes.

Ah, back to routine I go. Though while not glad sickness made it a two day week, am happy it is, now that I am here. Off to refill my tea cup. Tea feels good, as it’s staying down. Ack, okay reboot laptop, do that updating you need. Hope it’s done when I come back from refilling my tea cup.

Most Wonderful Wednesday wish to all.

I will give a look at Aldi when I’am I there next time.

Hope it went well.

It did all good news.

My view waiting for food and Starbucks:

That was a nice photo of the Castle.

USO store in City Walk expanded into where Cinabun and that surf shop were, to include a Nintendo section. And, sadly to us, the Starbucks at the start after entering from the garages is now near the escape places. Wonder what will go in that old Starbucks space.

Thats odd that they would just move the SB almost right across from where it was located. Maybe it was time for a remodel. Will be interesting to see what they put in there.

number. Now we will just wait and see if there are any changes to tickets or AP’s before the end of the year. I need to renew my AP in December. I might get B one for Christmas.

What nice gift for B for Christmas.


Lynne I hope you feel better soon.

Mac you are missed. I hope you are feeling better.

Janet you should have left for your vacation. Hope all goes well and the weather is good for you.

If I remember correctly you were going to Epic. Enjoy your time there.


Have been busy with some yard projects. The weather here had gone down a little into the mid 80’s, but humidity is still a bit uncomfortable.

Did get estimate on repairing the corner of the house that has settled gulp……….but has to be done.

I think Universal finally listened about the food situation on the UMH Tour. There will be a lunch buffet for the 6 house tour this year. Just makes more sense as having to hustle off for food and return back to restart second half of tour is always a rush. The price keeps going up for the tour every year so might as well get food included.

Need to get scootin this morning.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.
