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

[Charade67]

A quick good evening. I have to work tomorrow (B and dh are off) and then we leave for Busch Gardens early Friday morning. It looks like we will have sun and a high of 80 degrees.

Enjoy your lunch, Charade! Getting hungry here, too! Maybe Panera?

Thanks. I ended up going for Chinese and ate too much.

Someone who was sitting near me at the pool started vaping and it was blowing in my face and what was more disgusting is she was keeping her vaping thingy in her tennis shoe and taking it out every few minutes and puffing on it. I had enough of sun and the stink foot vapor and split, but not before sharing with staff that puff the not so magic dragon was sharing her smoke with a full line of sunbathers who were not to happy about it myself included. They took care of it.

There is a designated smoking /vaping area at the pool that she obviously did not want to inconvenience herself going to.

Ugh! Sorry you had to deal with that. I hate it when people act like the rules don’t apply to them. I once busted a couple at Busch Gardens who were trying to hide and smoke in a non smoking area.

Thanks for the pictures Lynne and Keisha.

Safe travels for Schumi and Robo.

Good night everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! One more day of work for Charade, then family fun at BG. Nice, and I hope you have a great time, and nice weather.

Well, we have here Thirsty Thursday. Does he look thirsty?


Gorgeous morning. And no, I did not make EE. Oops. No matter, a walk on Mummy, with 2 other people in my car. Just the 3 of us. Sweet.

Now wandering around, before checking out. And ooh, I guess he is really hungry:



Have a great day, and drink up, whether cold or hot, enjoy a cup, glass or mug of yum.

Robo or Schumi, if you are around this morning, if I get the chance, I would like to say goodbye.

Time to see what else I can get into before I need to ride SF’s boat one last time.

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Patty!

Want some tea?


or maybe Schumi?

So sorry to hear this! Ugh! for rude people! Glad you told staff and they handled it!
Safe travels today!

we leave for Busch Gardens early Friday morning. It looks like we will have sun and a high of 80 degrees.

Sounds fun! We went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg once and loved it! I don't go on many rides there as there are so many wild coasters, but still enjoyed it a lot! Have fun!


@keishashadow - LOVE the MNSSHP pics!!

@Lynne G - I'm LOVING all of your photos!! Looks like you're having a blast!!

Brr- this morning it's 49 and raining! Ick!! No more capris and sandals here!

@schumigirl is home! Hope your travels went smoothly!

Hope @macraven is having park fun right now!

Happy Thursday to everyone!!

 

[pattyw]

Good Morning Patty!

Want some tea?

Yes, please! I wish I could join you!! Much warmer there!!

 

[Disxuni]

@keishashadow Those are some amazing photos. That's a cool photo op for the Hatbox Ghost. Surprised to see that. That's a good looking salad too. Also, thanks for more shots of Hogwarts, @Lynne G. It's always nice to have a seat and not have to stand around to watch something.

Also, @Robo56, did I read that right, she was blowing smoke also into her shoe at one point? Did she think it was going to make her shoe smell better? I think that can be the explanation, because I know a lot of people who vape seem to really like the smell of a lot of that stuff and I wouldn't consider vaping into a shoe a stellar vape trick.

I hope everyone's days are great today! It said it was 69 when I was out taking out the trash before I went to work, but it definitely did not feel like it. However, these mornings are still slowly feeling less hot and humid.

I was actually about to post this and say, "Hey, I'm the first one up!" But then I realized I was on page 45 and there was page 46 too. With that good morning, homies!

 

[Charade67]

Woot! One more day of work for Charade, then family fun at BG. Nice, and I hope you have a great time, and nice weather.

Thanks Lynne. It’s supposed to be nice both days we are there.

Sounds fun! We went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg once and loved it! I don't go on many rides there as there are so many wild coasters, but still enjoyed it a lot! Have fun!

I won’t ride much either. I am not a big coaster fan. Disney’s Big Thunder Mountain is about as intense as I get. I will mostly shop and go to shows.

The weather here is crazy. High of 97 today, 81 tomorrow, and 68 on Saturday. It’s almost like someone suddenly realized that they forgot to turn on Fall.

 

[Disxuni]

68 on Saturday.

 

[macraven]

Hello from Potterville

Short wait for hadgids
In line at 10:10 and on at 10:30

Single rider line

Was in the last row
Sweet
A fun ride!

Hope all have a great day!

 

[Lynne G]

Hey Mac, waiting for RPR boat, just missed it. Glad you got to ride!

Goodbye to this room view:



Traded for TBD, though Tower 3.

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all. Luggage appeared at long last. Did a few houses and back to resort in less than 5 hours. Lightweights we are lol but the longer trips help with that! Only 2 rides at U out of 5 days but it’s not our focus this trip anyway

Someone who was sitting near me at the pool started vaping and it was blowing in my face and what was more disgusting is she was keeping her vaping thingy in her tennis shoe and taking it out every few minutes and puffing on it. I had enough of sun and the stink foot vapor and split, but not before sharing with staff that puff the not so magic dragon was sharing her smoke with a full line of sunbathers who were not to happy about it myself included. They took care of it.

Haha hard to make valuing even more disgusting but bingo

I won’t ride much either. I am not a big coaster fan. Disney’s Big Thunder Mountain is about as intense as I get. I will mostly shop and go to shows.

It’s such a pretty park, have fun

I am lovin da Klowns!


didnt see this guy before



Aaah my view poolside last 3 hours forgot how much we enjoy it here

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne.......I left yesterday!! No tea for me today........not sure what TBD is??

mac.......isn’t Hagrids the best!! We got a bit of Mummy dust to ride it......loved it!!

Keisha......nice pictures......PB is lovely.....and I do like the Klown pics......oh autocorrect doesn’t like the spelling of Klown........



Made it home......finally...........staff at MCO weren’t the best at check in for this repatriation flight.......made some folks feel like they were a bother!! Then the flight was delayed.......despite it being sat there all day.......couldn’t believe the reason it was delayed!!! Very basic jumbo jet, but they got us there safely and Cabin Crew were brilliant........did have the worst (best) turbulence ever on this flight..........it was like being on RRR on the back rows........whole plane was rocking!! Must admit, there was a time even I got a bit freaked.....and I love turbulence!

So we missed the train we were supposed to be on, but train companies were brilliant rebooking us on next trains, and we still got first class.......

Haven’t slept today.....got showered, unpacked and washer on this afternoon. Now waiting for Kyle to come in from work and we’ll get takeout tonight.......Indian for us (hot and spicy) and pizza for him. Can’t wait to see him.......

And 57 days till we go back........with Kyle.......

Hope everyone is good........

 

[Lynne G]

So sorry I missed ya, Schumi. But glad to hear you are home, enjoying the proper English tea. Oh and TBD is To Be Determined. In other words, my room is still not ready. No matter, I am sure some time after 3 or 4 o’clock , I will hopefully know.

Keisha, great pictures. It is toasty.

Rode the bike in about 20 minutes, via single rider. First car, on bike. SWEET!

Thinking may wander into the Studios for a bit. Not sure where dinner will be tonight. Off or onsite, will think about it later, when hungry. Had some Chick fil a for a late breakfast. So maybe a snack in the Studios. And boo! Last night, at SF’s quick service, they do not honor pass discount. At Adventura, they did, happily.

And ooh, security guy told me, 400 coming today, to the Portofino, big convention. And, our president is at the Villages today.

Have a good afternoon, all.

doing a quick fly by stop in!!!

@keishashadow and @Lynne G your pictures are wonderful!!!! I love seeing them,

@schumigirl I"m glad you made it home. I dislike bad customer service. It has been drilled into my head over the years about providing great customer service. At the end of the day...each customer that you deal with, signs your paycheck. Without those customers, you have no job. People really do need to remember that. I don't care if you don't want to be there...or there is some major impact to why you are having to be at work at that moment and deal with all the headaches that are happening that day...it is still your job to give a certain level of customer service. If they are really horrible, I will make a note of who it is...and lodge a complaint. There is not reason for that...ever. I hope your able to get back into the swing of being back home soon. That jet lag can be bothersome and take some time to readjust.

@Disxuni I hope the weather gets a little more tolerable for you. We are finally getting some warmer weather, and I'm trying to enjoy the last of my sock free days while they last.


@Robo56 I hate people who can't follow the rules about smoking and vaping. The hubby smokes and I'm always a stickler with him to follow the rules...as I hate smelling it.

@Charade67 I hope you have a great time at Bush Gardens with the dd. I know you will enjoy your time with her.

@macraven enjoy your park time!!!

Well...it seems that we finally have our indian summer again. It's beautiful outside, and only need a light sweater on in the morning. So my feet are enjoying being sock free and i'm enjoying not having to toss on a jacket right now. It turns around fast here...so I try to enjoy what I can.

Probably doing a little laundry tonight before we head to the dd's tomorrow for our quick weekend visit with them. I think I have found a couple of desks that will work in my new office space I want to create. Now to just put the finishing touches of what I want to add in the corner...and it should all come together.

Have a great evening everyone and anyone I may have missed!!!!!!

 

[Disxuni]

As usual loving all the photos!



@Pumpkin1172 Thanks for the thought. I hope you enjoy those sock free days while they last! Also, good to see you got home finally @schumigirl after all that.

While the day is not over, it's almost time to close up shop for me when it comes to work. So, I hope the rest of you had a good day today, or if you're at the dark side, having a lot of fun, or chillaxin'.

 

[Charade67]

All these pictures are even better when I view them on my desktop instead of my phone.

Packing now for tomorrow's short trip. I'm thinking shorts and T-shirt for tomorrow and jeans and light hoodie for Saturday.

 

[Monykalyn]

Hellllooooooo SANS!
Been so busy since we got back-tried to read to catch up some nights. Hit with a cold too, so out as soon as I could crawl into bed. And quick trip to STL for DH's alumni dinner where he was one of the distinguished alumni recognized from his high school, last night. Quick trip from getting kids right as school ended, zooom zoom down highway to the dinner, hotel for sleep, up at 6 to zooooom back so kids don't miss too much school. Thankfully for me my work week ended on Tuesday this week, but have meetings relating to my volunteer service organization this week. Watching Cardinals beat the Braves!!

Shopping this am. Mr picked out early Xmas present for me yea! I love the print having walrus from Alice & monstro featured. Mickey Ds, is calling then onto MK

NICE!!!

This jacket is the only major souvenir I HAD to have so I can basically go home right now lol

Love it!! One of my favorite things was a jacket I "had" to buy a couple years ago near new Years because it was stinking cold at Disney. Love my jacket and I hope you get as much love and wear out of yours!

And if I have to tell my DH when the alarm goes off one more time.

OMG this is familiar

Well, enjoyed the meal, it was very good food, and very nice staff. Pretty restaurant

Amatista? We really enjoyed the food and service. And Magical dining month was a bargain!!

it’s at the very end of the month......but still next month wooohoooo.........

Always easier to leave when you know you will be back! sounds like you had a fabulous trip though (not counting the delay at MCO!)

I tried to do hadgrids yesterday but things were being held up

I think we got lucky the 2 times we did it

Yay!! Had a great breakfast and meet!

So jealous you got to meet Mac! and isn't Lynne great? And to hang out more with Robby.

The Falcon at 6am yesterday

If you are a Star Wars Geek (like us) it was so fun to walk in the Falcon!

@macraven - Thank you for rushing over after a long night before and saying hello to Joe, Troy, and I: (Troy is the photographer here!) Thanks to Tony Hinds for patiently waiting while we all chatted and said goodbye! He is truly a wonderful man!!

Great pics

HaHa, the fountain in IOA is singing.

This last trip was really the first time we stopped to watch (listen?) to the fountain, oh so funny!

Trying to recover from DS's cold. Fortunately, he is better and I am hopefully on the upswing. Not a bad cold just drained.

Ugh hope you are better soon!

make some $$ for another trip

pretty much!

The photographers were going all out to get some excellent shots. Too bad many will be phased out

I hope they keep the human photographers! I have a feeling the feedback has been pretty harsh on the elimination

I have to work tomorrow (B and dh are off) and then we leave for Busch Gardens early Friday morning. It looks like we will have sun and a high of 80 degrees.

Nice to have a day off

Was in the last row
Sweet
A fun ride!

Our first ride was the very front, I was on the bike. Oh wow! This ride is fantastic no matter where you sit!

Made it home......finally

yay! Bet Kyle was happy to see you too!

Mac and cheese for dinner. DD had a football game to go to (band) will likely bring a couple friends back for dinner after. That friend "house sat" for us last night while we were in StL. Not sure what is going on but DD brought her and her sister home the day before we left and fed them-told me later they have no electricity at the house and was it ok if they washed their clothes here? So I asked if they could stay the night while we were gone. Stocked the fridge and hope they ate. House is immaculate, hard to believe they were here. Have a feeling DD's lunch account will be going down faster (again).

Older DD home this weekend-gotta pick up her winter clothes as temps dropped today to 70's. Have windows open. The hens loving the cool weather, and that I took fence down around garden. Took eggs to my hairstylist yesterday and still have nearly 4 dozen in fridge.
Since it is almost fluffy bum friday!

 

[schumigirl]

Charade....have a nice weekend away......and yes, you’re supposed to eat too much at Chinese restaurants!

Lynne.......ah, I was trying to think what hotel had those initials when you mentioned a Tower 3! I never worry about conventions......when we first arrived at RP there was a convention that had booked 600 rooms....you’d never know. Same with Sapphire........doesn’t affect guests.

Pumpkin, yes, customer service should be top notch at such a massive airport. One woman was in tears because one girl yelled at her....all she asked was the type of plane we were on.......no need. But, have a lovely weekend with your daughter......and glad you had some nice weather......

MonyK......sounds like a nice trip, and hope the cold is better......it’s that time of year! I wish we could have said hello on our trip.......maybe next time.......yes, it was fabulous to see Kyle and he was super happy to see us too........

mac and Keisha.......enjoy your tour tonight......hope it’s a blast!!




Didn’t sleep yesterday at all. Managed to stay awake till 10.30 last night.....not too bad. Had lovely Indian meal and then bottle of wine.

And slept amazingly well!! Woke up at 3am and thought I was wide awake, but got back to sleep within minutes and slept till 7.30.

Grocery shopping today, and finish off laundry.......there is so much!!! Plan to stay in this weekend and take it easy. It’s raining and has to rain all weekend so quite easy to not go out.....a high of 53F today!!

But first........bacon for breakfast this morning........lots of bacon! And then some healthy eating for a while. We can try......

Have a great Friday whatever you may be doing......

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. I am so looking forward to the cooler temperatures that start today. We are just about ready to leave for our trip. I’ll check in later.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travel and lots of BG fun, Charade. And will be nice to have B. With you too.

Ah, a Friday is here, and a fraidy cat night will be here. Woot! And am part of this crew:

Too bad none of were a good shot. LOL

Just chilling, as I want do not want to be tired tonight. I was last night. But up at 4:30am, as I guess I am still on my schedule. That will soon change, I hope. That’s why I have 3 days after I come home, to get that internal clock back to routine.

So, yesterdaywhen you go just as early entry is ending, walk on rides, like this one:


Hehe, little one taught me where the camera was, and I remembered this time. A fun coaster.

So the Is again givinga blue sky, though I see a few clouds. And hear a crying bird from my room. He is loud.

So, have a fabulous Friday, and hope to get those pictures Patty did, as they were awesome Patty.
