Something About Nothing...........#8

[Coach81]

Oops! I didn't mean to be so definitive -- we've always stayed in Tower 1, so I knew about those...I didn't mean there couldn't be others!

We have our fourth totally rainy, yucky day in a row. I really wouldn't mind seeing some sun...I guess I may have to go to FL to get it!

Still no packing last night, actually, no progress at all. DH asked to pick me up late from work so he could stay and get some stuff done, and by the time we got home it was too late to start working. Tonight will be better. I made sure I can't just go to bed because my sheets are in the washer I will have to get busy, and it's just as well because time is running out!

Oh, and in the "Seriously?" category, I just found out my boss is going to be at USO with her family for the exact same days. They're not staying onsite, but it is highly likely we will run into them. I just reminded my ds that her daughters have two mommies, I just wouldn't want him to say something awkward and not realize it. My boss is awesome, but I was really hoping to get away from work She said she wouldn't even say, "Hi!", but I told her that was silly! She also told me she'd probably ask me for the tip of the day, since I seem to always be in the know about Orlando theme parks. I told her about the 10% off for AAA, and she was happy to hear it. I also warned her to get there early for HP, I have a bad feeling they are in for some long waits. We'll be heading out of the area around 9am, assuming we can get in at 7:30! Just a little excited

Here's her tip--she should've stayed on site (FOTL).

Here's her tip--she should've stayed on site (FOTL).

Oh, I know! When she found out I was staying onsite she said, "Wow, that's really expensive." I told her I have an annual pass since I knew we would be making 3 trips within a year, and so I got a really good rate -- turns out it's about the same rate she's paying for offsite. They could have bought one AP, and it would have ended up being a bargain, I think.

I suspect she's going to come back and say how long the lines for HP are, and how they wished they would have stayed onsite...but she didn't ask me before they planned this trip -- that would have been the best tip of all!

I really hope we don't pass them as we go through an Express entrance while they're stuck in a long line -- I just thought of that -- now that would by creepy, and it's totally possible!

[Worfiedoodles]

Ok, Homies -- this is my last post before we leave tomorrow. I have a million things still to do, and we can't wait to get to WWOHP! I have to do time at the SIL's first, but then we head to Orlando and I am checking into RPR and checking out HP! After last January's frigid vacation, it feels like I haven't had a fun FL sunny one in forever! Last minute tips and suggestions gladly accepted! Everyone have an awesome Labor Day Weekend!

For what it's worth, my advice is to get to HP early, try the singles line for FJ after you go thru the regular line once, take an afternoon break and have a blast! Here's some mummydust for a wonderful & safe trip

 

[minniejack]

Yay me!!!
I made it a whole day with my mother shopping and I didn't kill myself....

 

[KStarfish82]

Hello everyone!

Been a very long time since I have popped over to my old stomping ground! I'm so happy to see so many familiar "faces"!

Just wanted to say hello and I hope I get more opportunities to pop on over here!

 

[marciemi]

Katie!!!!! Welcome back!!

So how goes married life? When do you start back to school? Are you still teaching the munchkins health lessons?




Maria - have a GREAT trip! I'll look forward to hearing all about it! We're trying to decide if we should try to cram WWOHP into our already-too-short trip to WDW in January so interested in hearing opinions!

 

[KStarfish82]

Hi Marcie!

Married life is great, we just did major construction on the house and are now in a great deal of debt, but we are happy!

We start school the Tuesday after Labor Day and yup, I'm still teaching Health, but I am now the Department Chairperson! Yippee!

Ho is everything on your end?? The boys are getting big and so grown up!

 

[circelli]

Have fun Maria!!!

Thanks for the little tidbit about mac....she will welcome this vacation when it arrives

The weekend is almost here, I think the beach is in the cards for us

 

[SharkyGoddess]

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!

To those leaving for their trips, HAVE FUN, and for those of us still waiting and planning, HAPPY PLANNING!

Too little sleep and too little coffee and this is the result you get LOL

Have a great time!!! Enjoy HP, and come back and tell us all about it!!! We'll be returning to UF next summer!!! Tell Harry hello for us.

I don't know if I'm crazy or not--I'm sure you all have already come to the obvious conclusion that I am....

Here's the deal...I rec'd this mass email from the gluten intolerance group that a 16 yr old Italian boy needs a host family for a stay in America. He needs to be gluten free and needs to be placed with a family that knows the intricacies of gf living. I'm thinking, hey, that family could be us. I made the preliminary emails and phone calls. Now, DH is having major what ifs: what if he kills us in the middle of the night, what if he rapes our daughter, what if he drinks...what if is father is from a major crime family from Italy?...

DD's boyfriend is throwing his 2 cents into the mix--he already wants to move in with us because HIS mom shouldn't have the kids she does--all she cares about his tanning, smoking, drinking and raising her 5 pugs...She even wants to charge him $200 for rent money--she says its to cover for insurance and a 3rd car... And both boys will be 17 within 6 days of each other in November

What do you all think???? I just don't know. I hate friction.

 

[yankeepenny]

Chances are he is from a good home. Those kids get checked out even more now than ever before. I would bet his mother and father are just as concerned as you.
This would be a good learning curve of patience and trust for your daughter and the boyfriend.
It is a wonderful thing you are doing.
My sister hosted several times and her family enjoyed it.
