Still have the AC on and hope temperatures will soon be cooler.

Glorious sunshine already, and a clear blue sky, as overnight was clear, 64 seen out the door. No matter, still seeing 73 the high today. Perfect fall weather for the first day of October.

And what? Mid week already? Yay. As who reminds us of this day?




Yay! Wednesday, the day of the week where we say, wahoo, get over this hump of a day feeling Wednesday, then fabulous Friday feeling then a day away.

For me, yay, as hair salon visit dinner time tomorrow, and will be the week day routine ending day, as decided Friday to enjoy being lazy instead. Yay, lazy Friday with freshly salon visited hair the night before. Woot!

So, not only is it a Wonderful Wednesday today, it’s the first day start of the month, that ends with a spooky, Fabulous Friday. Woot! Nope, two needed for this month of Halloween fun, woot, woot!

And a woot, as celebrated Halloween at a mickey party and HHN at the end of August into September, and will again celebrate with a not so scary party the week of Halloween. With a fun Disney run the weekend before. Scoring little one, got us tickets for wine and dine run. Hence, there was a need for double fall fun trips this year. Yes, a woot for that.

Good morning from this glorious sunshine having Wednesday homie.

Lastly. A hehe, Mac’s cat enjoying posting for her.

Can't believe it is October already. This year has flown by.
Work today is slow, so I am killing time before lunch.

Ah, that beautiful Fall weather, where a steady 70’s highs for October should be coming as that new month arrives this week.

I am so looking forward to this. I want to be able to turn off the a/c and open the windows.

We still have the ac on

Same here. I am ready to turn it off but don't want to turn on the heat yet.

Little J’s 6th birthday party is Saturday. He loves trucks and cars. Particularly dump trucks etc. Found this cake for him and ordered it. He wanted strawberries in it. So had them put it in the cake.

Happy birthday to him. The cake is adorable.

Taco Tuesday it is. And all agreed for Chinese for dinner tonight.

We did steak last night. It was our 30th anniversary, so we went to the nicest restaurant in town. I discovered that my black pumps, which I haven't worn in years, no longer fit. They got thrown out as soon as we got back home.

And a woot, as celebrated Halloween at a mickey party and HHN at the end of August into September, and will again celebrate with a not so scary party the week of Halloween

I want to go to the Halloween party someday. Unfortunately it is not a good time for dh to go Since he has to be at school. But maybe fall break. Hmmm.......
Well, it probably won't happen until 2027. We already have other plans for next year.

30 minutes to kill before lunch.

I would have been here earlier but went with my better half for cat food shopping.
Usually we order from chewy but they are back logged today.
cats don’t understand.

Did pick up a few items of junk food for us.
I let my husband do all the shopping he wants…

Still have the air on 24/7.
Hopefully it will be a mild winter.

We did more meals out the past few weeks.
No complaints for us.
Still have ac on day and night.
Most likely that will change later.

 

[macraven]

We could not decide what to do for dinner so went to a local pub in town.
Can never go wrong with southern food.

 

[Lynne G]

Nature’s AC for me today. 49 degrees said that thermometer outside our front door. But quick enough to office, which feels warmer, for some reason, as building heater will not be turned on until mid November. Rest of my office does feel cooler though. Not complaining, as rather be a bit warmer in my office, when it’s cooler outside.

Southern pub food for dinner last night, sounded perfect, Mac. Im lucky, my kids do most of our grocery shopping. Hope you got all that you needed, on your shopping trip yesterday.

Ah, thirsty Thursday is here. Thankfully, the last week routine day for me. Getting closer and closer to that day I say, no more week day routine in the city for me. Woot!

And so, tea in my cup, and almost ready for a refill soon. Early bird I am, as almost always, awake before that alarm goes off. I do listen to it for a few minutes though. It’s the local news channel, that always gives weather and traffic on the two’s. So, I get to hear other news for a few minutes before I hear that weather and traffic report. Then I’m off to the shower, and out the door before ya know it. And the quickest of the commutes, in that predawn arrival.

Ooh, gold seen on the horizon now. Mostly sunny day, again, though cooler, as 69 the high. But nature is kind to us. 80’s the high this weekend, with glorious sunshine days. Woot woot! Short weather weekend. Yay.

Good morning on this second day of that spooky month, and drink up today, thirsty Thursday it is. And give a salute to the fact that tomorrow is that most fabulous Friday.

Ooh hair salon alert this late afternoon says my phone. Will be pampered, and will maybe pick up dinner when I’m done. Good pizza place near that salon. Will have to ask the family if that’s okay for dinner. Now making the appointments a little later, as nice to relax at home for a few minutes, instead of that race to be on time, coming out of the city.

Yep, time for tea refill. Most Happy Thirsty Thursday to all the homies.

 

[macraven]

Our high today will be 82 I think.
Leaves are still green so ac is still on.

Son and wife had to cancel their visit with us today due to the shutdown.
Hopefully we will see them when things all work out.

Hope all the homies are doing fine!

 

[macraven]

Leaving the light on tonight so no one will trip in the dark tonight if they do stop by.

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, still awake, so thanks for that light Mac.

DH asleep, so I can turn on the light when I’m ready for bed, and it won’t wake him up.

Yay, tomorrow is Friday. And hope those today was Yom Kippur, g’mar chatima tovah.

 

[Charade67]

Happy Friday! It's going to be an exciting day of laundry for me. I purchased all new bath towels recently, so I will be washing all of the old ones and donating them to the humane society. I also have some new clothes that I bought for myself that need to be washed.

I am currently over on another thread complaining about not being able to purchase park tickets for 2026. My trip starts 3 months from tomorrow and I want to be able to price compare. I have a feeling that we will all end up with seasonal passes.

Nature’s AC for me today.

I think we are finally able to open windows.

Son and wife had to cancel their visit with us today due to the shutdown.
Hopefully we will see them when things all work out.

So sorry to hear that. Hopefully it won't last too long.

I have had a very non-productive morning. I didn't wake up until 10:30 and have done nothing since. I need to start laundry, but first - lunch!

Mom, you did what? Hehe, booked that holiday trip as I am a sucker for holiday decor. And, saw drop in AP rates during that week I was looking at, so yay, more use of that AP. Burning a whole, well yeah, but at least no tickets to buy. While we will stay at the mouse, we always have a rental car, so gotta use those Harry APs, and don’t mind parking in those massive garages to see the holiday fun at potter parks too.

Today, as a lazy Friday for me, and little one and I had a nice breakfast at our favorite deli, as we both like their cheap week day breakfast menu. Then, walked that huge mall, and picked up luggage little one had ordered, as then I can have her old one. Mine, is not waterproof, those metal ones are better at it. Hence, I’ll take her old, which is not even that old, metal one. Before our last trip, I had bought a bag that slides over your luggage handle. Perfect size as holds a lot, and has lots of zippers. Fits under seat or I usually carry a backpack, so put that bag in the overhead, and push the backpack under the seat. Little one wants to use it in her next trip, as she usually carries a roll bag with her backpack, that she tries to wrap the strap around her luggage handle, with mild success.

Little one is the traveler. She flies to the wedding, and home at dinner time, the day before our morning flight. Guess a quick take out and put in, as I’ll be packed the night before, as working the day before. Generally, know what I am taking already anyway.

Woot! 80 degree weekend, with glorious sunshine loaded. Shorts are ready, as was cooler feeling today, hence wore lightweight pants and a tee shirt. Funny, we thought stores have already turned on the heat, as even the mall felt warmer to us.

Light on, as getting darker as we get to that switch in going back an hour in time, where even darker as time goes on that standard time, when I go to week day routine in the dark, and home in the dusk time. But another month before we do that time change fun.

Hope all had a nice Friday. And have to say, I will be so happy to be lazy every day, not when I decide to take off a Friday, like today.

 

[macraven]

Lynne, all my days are lazy……lol

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. Woke up much earlier than I wanted to. Thanks Caspian.

I think dh is a little envious of my solo trips. This weekend is fall break and he has booked himself a solo trip to a different theme park. B and I will find something to do while he is gone

Mom, you did what? Hehe, booked that holiday trip as I am a sucker for holiday decor. And, saw drop in AP rates during that week I was looking at, so yay, more use of that AP.

That will be an enjoyable trip. I love it when the AP rates start dropping. I think dh is amused at how excited I get, but he's learned to trust the process.
Do you know if Universal will keep the Christmas decorations up in January? We will be there the first week. I'd really like to experience WDW again at Christmas time. Maybe for my birthday.

I am still trying to find a decent flight for our trip. The problem is having a tiny airport with all other airports within a 2.5 hour drive are also small airports. I am trying to find the perfect combination of departure/arrival times, layover times, and price. Some of the flights have layovers in Chicago or NY. I don't want to travel north before I go south. We might end up driving the 3.5 hours to Charlotte and staying overnight. We can get flights fir only 13k flight miles.

Good Sunday morning everyone

that is a superb birthday cake!
everyone is going to love it

Thank you Mac. He loved it.

What a cute cake, Robo. Glad you enjoyed your trip as we did, in our early September trips.

We had a nice trip.

Still have the AC on and hope temperatures will soon be cooler.

We still have our AC on to Mac. In the upper 80’s during the day and in the 60’s at night.

And a woot, as celebrated Halloween at a mickey party and HHN at the end of August into September, and will again celebrate with a not so scary party the week of Halloween. With a fun Disney run the weekend before. Scoring little one, got us tickets for wine and dine run. Hence, there was a need for double fall fun trips this year. Yes, a woot for that.

Lynne sounds like you have some nice trips planned.

Happy birthday to him. The cake is adorable.

Thank you he is so sweet.

Did pick up a few items of junk food for us.
I let my husband do all the shopping he wants…

Having a little junk food every once in a while doesn’t hurt.

We could not decide what to do for dinner so went to a local pub in town.
Can never go wrong with southern food.

Sounds like a nice dinner Mac.

I am currently over on another thread complaining about not being able to purchase park tickets for 2026. My trip starts 3 months from tomorrow and I want to be able to price compare. I have a feeling that we will all end up with seasonal passes.

Have you tried calling Universal to see if you can purchase them.

Mom, you did what? Hehe, booked that holiday trip as I am a sucker for holiday decor. And, saw drop in AP rates during that week I was looking at, so yay, more use of that AP. Burning a whole, well yeah, but at least no tickets to buy.

Lynne sounds like you are going to get good use of those AP’s. Enjoy.


Up early this morning.

I succumbed to a post trip cold. Started with sore throat on Monday. It has progressed into sinuses and bronchial tubes. I have asthma so was expected.

It took 11 days post trip for me to get sick. I’am boosting immune system so hoping this will be short lived.

We had little J’s birthday party yesterday he had the best time. He is so sweet. He was happy to be surrounded by his family. It was nice to celebrate his birthday with our family.

He received lots of nice birthday gifts and he loved them all.

I made gnocchi, meatballs, tossed salad, garlic bread, pretzel bites and cheese (Judes loves pretzels, a fruit tray, We had birthday cake and cupcakes for dessert.

I had popcorn on the table for snacks.

Everyone enjoyed the food and there was plenty to send home with everyone.

It was wonderful to have all the family together.

Always a blessing to celebrate our sweet Jude.


Have a wonderful Sunday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.
