Woo hoo! It was buy one Pumpkin Spice Latte get one free day at Starbucks! After talking about all the Starbucks around here, I decided to see how far apart they are in my area. Our new drive-thru one is only 3 miles away from a non-drive thru one. Which is about 3 miles away from another non-drive thru one, all on the same major street. I know it's not as bad as in Seattle, but that's an awful lot of Starbucks!

Dang It and I won't have any time today to get by a Starbucks!

Happy to have you! We have a lot of fun on this thread.

BTW, I only got tagged the other day.

That's what I am talking about.

I told my DH that he shouldn't promise such things to a girl like me!

So, I'm wondering if husbands really realize the impact of their words on their wives when it comes to Disney promises....

Today DH came grocery shopping with me. Since I don't live near anything, it's a chance to take a nice ride and chat. We got to talking about his job, the money he makes, the benefits, etc., and the fact that next year he gets three weeks of vacation time! (one of the perks of sticking with a job for a while) And since the topic of Disney is never really that much of a tangent off anything we discuss (I have the ability to tie it in to almost any conversation! ), we started talking about the trip I'm planning for next year. He knows I'm serious when I say I'm putting money away and already planning it in my head, and he gives me free rein to do so.

So HE says, "You know, if I'm still at this job, let's go for 10 days next time."



It has been said!! The words have audibly come forth from his mouth!! There ain't no way in God's green earth I'm lettin' THIS go!!!

WOO-TASTIC!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!! ​

​

I'm finally back, I think.

I've been trying to figure out which is worse mental fatigue or physical fatigue. After exhaustive research I have decided that they are tied. ​

Welcome M&N!

I made a big pot of chili today ... great food for cold weather.
Not as fun as a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, but yummy still.

I think I'm destined never to get tagged. Its kind of sad to come to this thread to see all the pretty new tags. Oh well. Someday maybe I'll get tagged.

Chili sounds so yummy. What do you put in yours? Are you one of those people that like it insanely hot? I make mine mild to medium hot. But right now it is still to hot outside for chile. Cold front is moving on through this weekend though. Saturday is supposed to be like 76 for the high and 47 for the low. Almost a woot cycle!!

Don't dispair a tag will be there!!

Husbands do realize when they open the pandora's box. They just enjoy watching our excitment over it.

Mine is sparkly red with black Mickey heads all over it, and full to the brim with pixie dust. And if you put your ear to it and listen carefully, you can hear...Rope Drop Music!!!

Once opened, it's impossible to close.

Don't worry. Many of us were tagged just a few weeks ago and we started this thread back in June.

I use the basics, but for beans I use pintos. Yummy! I don't like it too spicy either. How have you been?

This is too funny!! I love it!! You are right. I can hear the rope drop music too!!

Wow, seems like I have known some of you much longer than that.

Trip planning is an awesome past time. One of my favorites too!! Your poor DD. I hope the mac and cheese helps.

I use light red and dark red kidney beans as well as pintos and navy beans. You have to remember I'm feeding a large family here. And usually there is left overs for lunch the next day.​

For anyone who is intrested, here are the two posts I made about our trip to Salem/Boston/Concord/York, ME. The first post is from while we were there. I just don't feel like retyping and reformating everything!

Greetings! Well my sister and I made it to Danvers yesterday. It was sort of a rough start yesterday. Our flight was suppose to leave Detroit yesterday at 9:40 am, but just as we were going to lift up, the pilot put on the brakes adn we came to a stop on the runway. They had to abort due to a mechanical issue. We sat on the runway for a bit before getting the OK to come back to the gate. After conversing with the mechanics they decided to deplane us and get us a new plane. We finally took off about noon. It was a good flight after we made it into the air!

We visited the house of Seven Gables today. It was fun. We got some candies from the candy story across the street, which was really good.

We're trying to figure out where everyone has learned to drive, because its pretty bad. There were people that just randomly braked on the highway on the way from NH. Oy.

This is from when we got back:

On Tuesday we drove to Concord. We went to the battleground there. The show at the visitor center was really cool. When we watched it, there was a tour bus full of British people, which made for some interesting jokes. They need to put in more monuments or something, because walking the trails was kind of boring after a while. We ended up skipping a few of the stops and just went to the North Bridge. We wanted to see Ralph Waldo Emerson's house, but it was closed. We did get some pictures of it from the outside though. We also stopped by Sleepy Hollow Cemetery where we saw Emerson's, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Nathaniel Hawthorne's graves. We told Thoreau what we thought of Walden. We had lunch at the cafe at the North Bridge visitor center. It was OK. Strange set up though. I think this was the night we had dinner at Unos. I love Chicago style pizza. YUM! Though I like Gino's from Chicago better.

On Wednesday we went back to Salem and went to the Pirate Museum, Witch History Museum, and Witch Dungeon Museum. I enjoyed all three. Our tour guide for the Pirate one was really funny. I liked that I could take pictures inside. We ate at Boston Hot Dogs in Salem. They were good, but I think I like Koegels better. This is a MI brand of hot dog. The buns were interesting. Ordering the hot dogs was a bit intimidating, with all the signs telling you how to order. I think we had Quiznos for dinner.

On Thursday we drove up to York, ME. We went to a few of the historical buildings. Quite a few of them were closed or needed appointments, so we just skipped them. We did go to the Old Gaol where I again thought I was going to twist my ankle on those stairs. After that we drove up 1A along the coast. We had lunch at a restaurant called the Lobster Cove. My sister got lobster. She said it was OK and shrimp is better. After that we continued driving along the coast. We finally found a spot where you could get down to the beach. We then went and frolicked in the ocean. That was fun. It was cold, but after a while I didn't even notice. We hadn't planned on playing in the ocean so we didnt' take a towel or anything with us. My sister had her Crocs on and I wished I had some instead of my tennis shoes and socks. It was awesome. We were surprised to find people surfing there. We drove along some more to the lighthouse, which is the hip place for all the elderly people to go. We got a bunch of pictures. I was hoping to get something there for our one brother who loves lighthouses, but the gift shop was closed. After that we headed back to MA. I forgot to get the directions back to MA. I remembered most of the steps, but missed the one fork. We ended up going a ways out of our way, but we eventually got back. Since I had gotten us "lost" I had to buy my sister an ice cream desert from Friendly's. We both got Friendzs. We then went to AC Moores in Danvers, but wasn't impressed. They didn't have much Cricut stuff. It was kind of pillaged. We did find a couple of cute stickers we hadn't seen before so it wasn't a total waste of time. A little while later after freshening up and changing we went to Salem for the Happening Halloween parade. It was OK. We only stayed for a little while. We wanted to leave before traffic got too bad. We had dinner at Applebees, where our waitress didn't even give us silverware. She was gone most of the time. We heard her comment once about how she just wanted to hurry up and leave. It seemed she was more concerned with that than her customers. She didn't get a good tip!

On Friday we drove to Salem to use the Commuter rail to Boston. The parking lot was confusing. Then we couldn't figure out where you get the tickets from. We finally found someone who told us that you just get them on the train. Once on the train saw behind these two girls who talked like the people on the "The Hills" and spent the entire ride gossiping about people. It was quite irritating. After that we managed to find the Metro and took that to Park to start the Freedom Trail. The Robert Shaw memorial for the 54th MA regiment was really cool. Though the sun was in a bad spot to get a good shot of it. It was really hot on Friday. The walk along the Freedom Trail was miserable in that heat. The sites were really cool, I just wish the temp had been cooler. We ate lunch at Cheers at Fanieul (sp?) Hall. We walked over to the bridge to see the USS Constitution, but didn't go see the Bunker Hill Memorial up close. We did a few shots of it from a distance. We took the water shuttle back. The ferry that came didn't look very sea worthy to me, I thought for sure we were going to sink. We made it though I don't know how. After that we made it back to the station to catch the commuter rail back to Salem. We were happy to find the rental car still in the parking lot. After that we did some last minute shopping before going back to Danvers. We had to pack so we ordered Dominos, which is never my favorite, but it was on our hotel keys. It was OK. It was something to eat while we packed.

On Saturday we got up at 8:00 and went to breakfast at IHOP again since we don't have many around where we live. The Pumpkin pancakes are so good. It was quite busy on Saturday. I used up all the change I had for the tip so I wouldn't have to worry about it at the airport. We then went back to the hotel and watched American Gladiators on ESPN Classic. I remember watching it as a child, and we don't have ESPN Classic at home, so we watched that until 11:00 when we had to check out. Since it was suppose to be an hour drive up to Manchester, we decided to go find the Witch Trial memorial in Danvers. After that we went to Best Buy to kill some more time. It was noon then so we decided to just start heading up to Manchester and maybe have enough time to grab lunch on the way. We had to be at the airport by 2:00. It took nearly 2 hours to get to Manchester. We were averaging 20 MPH on the highway. There was no construction, no accidents, nothing to warrant such a traffic jam. I've been in worse traffic on I-75 heading "Up North" during the summer that moved faster. It was very irriating. We ended up stopping at McDonalds and had to eat quickly so that we could get the rental car back on time. Getting through security was easy. We were the only two people. The one TSA officer was impressed how fast we went through. We're used to going through Detroit Metro where you have to be fast. After that we sat by the gate and waited for the plane to arrive. And we prayed we got a pilot who knew how to take off! There were no problems with take off out of Manchester other than we had to sit on the runway for about 10 minutes because of lots of traffic in Detroit. It was a good flight back. I love looking out the window and seeing the clouds below. There were some cool cloud mounds. Our brother was waiting at baggage claim for us. He then bought us dinner from KFC and had a bottle of Pepsi in his fridge waiting for us. He's such a nice brother.

On Sunday we drove home from our brother's house. We got stuck in traffic on I-75 just south of Grand Blanc. They had to close the entire northbound section due to an accident. We were routed onto Dixie Hwy, which sort of freaked my sister out because she thought we were lost, but I knew where we were. After that it was a smooth ride home. It was nice to sleep in our own beds last night. I couldn't wait to see my furkids. They had missed us and were being so sweet yesterday. I will have to post the pictures soon. I haven't even really sorted out all the good ones yet.

I finally got the pictures sorted, but haven't uploaded any other than to Walgreens to print. I printed 212 today. There are 200+ more to print. We had a total of 1360+ pictures.
