Canadian Buffoon's Semi-EPIC Vacation - 10/29 - Link to new TR!

[pkondz]

I have a really good "Mean Mom" expression too but try not to use it at Disney.

Of course.
You don't want to scare
the mice.

Why waste the calories on cake that isn't good.

Because calories don't count at Disney.

 

[Tracy161]

How's the new job coming along?

I officially start Monday. Today is my last day at the museum I've been going in many evenings this week to the public library, so I won't be starting completely fresh on Monday, although I do plan to shower.

Yes, I knew that about you.
(that you grew up on Buffett)

That's right! You did know that

But...
I don't really know.
I didn't have a lot of time,
so drove down,
Walked along Duval St.,
ate, left.

Admittedly I didn't give
it a thorough going over.

Guess I'll have to go back!

Crossing an item off one's bucket list does not prevent one from going back

I can just hear that...
Tracy and Sister: "So it would be good because....."
Parents: "Uh, huh. Right. Yup. Makes sense. Good point..."
T&S: "So can we go?"
Parents: "No."

You pretty much summed it up right there

Right?
I mean... leave me and my
bodily functions alone!

Exactly! How rude!

Thanks, Tracy!

 

[pkondz]

I officially start Monday. Today is my last day at the museum

Ah!
And...


I'm sad you're leaving there too!
Won't be the same when I go back!

But!
I'm also very happy for you!

I've been going in many evenings this week to the public library,

I've done that!

So does this mean
I can work there too???

I'm a parent.
I've had that conversation!

This is true, but I only have so much room in the belly.

 

[pkondz]

This is true, but I only have so much room in the belly.

Ah yes... the curse of the buffet...

 

[LeiaIsAPrincess2]

I popped into the butterfly
garden where people were
being swarmed by flying
insects looking for the blood of...

*Shudder* Butterflies creep me out.

Coming up... Stay tuned for
a link to a brand spanking
shiny new TR!

Yay!

Sounds like a fantastic trip!

 

[franandaj]

Try it, then you'll know.
I didn't find it overly...
banana-y.

We'll have to see. Did you get it at Kona or Captain Cook's?

You know I put that in
there just for you, right?

Aw, bless your heart.

That's totally different!
What the heck!

That's what I said when I saw your picture!

Oh... But then I went back
just a few months later.

Darned AP.

Oh I know, aren't they just a bother? Making you go back to Disney and all!

Really!
I wouldn't have thought
you'd get that with being
so close to the ocean.

Yeah we are having wacky weather right now. Total heatwave.

It's a process, isn't it?

And as long as Liesa doesn't put up an update in the next hour or so, I'm caught up!

Right in the middle of City Walk.

Huh. I'll have to look at a map. Now I'm curious.

I'd be looking around,
wondering why everyone
wasn't running for cover.

It's hard to run when the ground is rolling like someone shaking out a rug!

 

[pkondz]

*Shudder* Butterflies creep me out.

Butterflies only?
Or bugs in general?

Yay!

Sounds like a fantastic trip!

'twas!

 

[pkondz]

We'll have to see. Did you get it at Kona or Captain Cook's?

Kona.

Aw, bless your heart.

That's what I said when I saw your picture!

I bet!

Oh I know, aren't they just a bother? Making you go back to Disney and all!

How dare they!?!?!?!

Yeah we are having wacky weather right now. Total heatwave.

But I looked and it's supposed
to be much milder this week
(depending on how hot it was?)

And as long as Liesa doesn't put up an update in the next hour or so, I'm caught up!

Well...
It was more than an hour, but...
Don't look now!
(And I might have one up soon, too...)

Huh. I'll have to look at a map. Now I'm curious.

Find it?

It's hard to run when the ground is rolling like someone shaking out a rug!

Good point!

 

[franandaj]

But I looked and it's supposed
to be much milder this week
(depending on how hot it was?)

It was in the upper 90s last week. Today was very cool and overcast all day. I could have worn a T-shirt!

Well...
It was more than an hour, but...
Don't look now!
(And I might have one up soon, too...)

That's OK. I got my TR started and put an update up on the other one, so I'm good for a while. Give people a chance to read them.

Find it?

Haven't had a chance to look yet.

 

[pkondz]

It was in the upper 90s last week. Today was very cool and overcast all day. I could have worn a T-shirt!

So you wear a T-shirt when it cools down...
what do you wear when it's in the upper 90s?

That's OK. I got my TR started and put an update up on the other one, so I'm good for a while. Give people a chance to read them.

I saw that. Commented, too.

 

[franandaj]

So you wear a T-shirt when it cools down...
what do you wear when it's in the upper 90s?

My "uniform" as I call it is a tank top and capris. I wear that most of the year. In fact of my many closets, the one that is most easily accessible has tank tops on the top rod and capris on the bottom rod. I welcome the colder times of year when I can wear T-shirts because I actually have two times as many T-shirts as I have tank tops!

 

[Steppesister]

The day was a quick one
and thankfully bereft of
drama or other issues.

Why do those days always have to be the quick ones?

I had heard, for years,
about the Tonga toast.

It is legendary!

Perfect! Love this one!

From the Citrus Blossom,
Lobster tail, Citrus shortcake
and of course, I had to try the
Orange Sunshine Wine Slushy.
(I'd previously had the non-alcoholic
version. I'm bucking the trend, though.
Everyone else seems to prefer the wine
one, but I preferred the other one.)

I think that was had the most items that I really liked.

The lobster was superb, while
the cake was forgettable.

Except that, which, as you say, was "forgettable".

from Northern Bloom:
Maple Popcorn Shake

Kinda wished I tried this.

"Bathroom's over there."
I am NOT constipated!!!...

Ironically, me neither.

Then again... there probably
wasn't a place on Earth
that was anywhere near as
hot as it was that May
in Florida.

I have no recollection of it EVER being that hot in Florida.

Thanks for reading along, everyone!
I hope you enjoyed reading it
as much as I enjoyed having you
all along for the ride.

Thank YOU for another fun and entertaining TR! Great one, as usual. Your writing is always top notch and your photos excellent!

 

[pkondz]

My "uniform" as I call it is a tank top and capris.

I knew that... but it lets me say:
"Okay, so what do you wear
in the 100s????"

I wear that most of the year. In fact of my many closets, the one that is most easily accessible has tank tops on the top rod and capris on the bottom rod. I welcome the colder times of year when I can wear T-shirts because I actually have two times as many T-shirts as I have tank tops!

Really!
I would've thought you'd have
more tanks.
But perhaps Ts are more readily
available for purchase?

 

[pkondz]

Why do those days always have to be the quick ones?

<sigh>
Yes.
And why do they have to be
so seldom?

It is legendary!

Perfect! Love this one!

Thanks! I like that one too.
Not bad for using my phone!

Kinda wished I tried this.

I liked it.
Just had to pick off
the popcorn first.

Ironically, me neither.

I saw your thread.

I have no recollection of it EVER being that hot in Florida.

Right??????

Thank YOU for another fun and entertaining TR! Great one, as usual. Your writing is always top notch and your photos excellent!

Thanks Liesa.
Coming from a fellow
photog enthusiast,
that means a lot.

UHM NO WAY there might be a snake that could drop on me

Except it's
over-commercialized
and over-touristy.

I whole heartedly agree. But I do like Islamorada.

 

[Tracy161]

I'm sad you're leaving there too!
Won't be the same when I go back!

But!
I'm also very happy for you!

Thank you! Friday was a very rough day... lots of tears. Leaving my office for the last time was just... But now that I've officially parted ways and started at the public library, I'm feeling much better.

I've done that!

So does this mean
I can work there too???

Yep! I know just the place...

 

[pkondz]

UHM NO WAY there might be a snake that could drop on me

I never thought of that!
Poor thing would just be looking for a warm spot.
Maybe around your neck? Or in your lap?

I whole heartedly agree. But I do like Islamorada.

 

[pkondz]

Thank you! Friday was a very rough day... lots of tears. Leaving my office for the last time was just... But now that I've officially parted ways and started at the public library, I'm feeling much better.

Awwww...

Yusss!!!!

I didn't know (or missed) you were starting a new job. Congrats!

That's right! You did know that

I did too. Funny thing, when we met, that didn't come up...too many other things to talk about.
