Right? As of now it hasn't moved all week. Just keeps making its web more intricate.
Ugh that bite. That is why once I found it I read all up on it. I have had similar bites and if this was a medically important bitting spider, it was getting a two boot clap. So far it really hasn't moved. Yesterday I found a huge snake skin out by the pool and have been woken by coyote every night this week. I swear my yard is decorating itself for Halloween. Just as long as everyone stays outside. I started my war on the little wispy spider that were accumulating in corners inside last night. My first holiday task after groceries this weekend is a whole house deep clean. Whoop whoop big fun. I keep thinking, " last year we left for Florida today" oh well Oct will be here soon enough.
On Oct, yes this is our first DCLcruise (DH and I had one really bad cruise 13 years ago on another line) our first trip to DC and Dd7s first SW experience. I kind of went all out on the DC day. We are dolphin swimming and doing the newish animal trek tour.I went with the tour because we had originally wanted to do an animal experience on our SW day, but adding DC makes our SW day our last day and I wanted to have time to get all the shows in without adding something else. My vacation math justified it because we aren't doing any cruise excursions. Oh and I reserved a daybed. I hate looking for chairs when I want to relax. The message was temping but my financial.sense got the best of me. I even had a disney/vacation anxiety dream that night. They always involve not being able to get everyone somewhere. I'm crazy.
Now to move on to Halloween costumes for on the cruise. Dd7 wants to be one of the girls from the Disney Zombies movie. And I am attempting to make a disbound type Mary Poppins and Bert set for me and DH.
Kobe looks fun! And the food pics looked sooooo good. You keep trying restaurants and I keep adding to my Orlando "try" list.
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
mmmm...squeaky cheese. So good. Yes I've brought it home on the plane when I've been in WI visiting dad's side of the fam. Mom's brought it home from Tillamook too, they have the best cheddar, sorry WI but OR does this one thing right
In SF for the weekend. Went to the Walt Disney Family Museum today and was a bit disappointed in the size for the cost ($25). It had some cool stuff to see and I'm glad I went, however if you know Walt's history and how he started, moved, the Alice movies on up through Disneyland you don't really need to read any of the stuff. And when his story is the main focus of the museum when you know it, it all goes by quick. I had heard the special exhibit on the nine old men wasn't that good so I didn't pay the extra $5 and skipped it. I kind of wish I had gone since I might have spent more time there but at the same time I was worried it would be a waste.
The cupcakes at sprinkles are fantastic!
Oregon is famous for cheese? I have so much to learn about this country!!!
Sorry to hear the Disney museum didn't live up to expectations. That's always a bummer. But San Francisco sounds like a fun place to spend a long weekend!! How's the weather?
I totally forgot about their ice cream. I am from the Midwest but visited the factory tour in the OR coast. My youngest had his first ice cream cone there. He had no idea how to do it and tried to eat it sideways.I'm not sure a lot of people outside the west coast know about Tillamook.

I'm impressed that you're making costumes yourself. I am SO not creative that way!! Always impressed (and a little envious) of people who are awesomely crafty.
/QUOTE]
Don't be. I should clarify, my sister will be helping me make the costumes. She is super crafty, I can do it, but never can get started. She whips things up in an afternoon. She's the crafty one.
Sprinkles is very good! Actually surprising good - I am not a huge cupcake fan and I really enjoyed it. Amorette's will always be my favorite though.My next must-try at Disney Springs is a cupcake from Sprinkles. Have you been there yet as well?
Is that football? If so, I'm about to get very confused by this conversation .
This cracked me up-especially as they mixed sports too-Dallas stars are hockey while the other 2 are football. The Stars won the Stanley cup the years we lived in Dallas and our next door neighbor was a huge hockey fan-I often went with her when her son didn't want to go (her DH and other son had no interest). Still have my rally towel from playoffs...I feel like I should be googling who this guy is, and why people hate him so much!!

Tillamook does make the best cheddar-Sam's club sells the sharp cheddar in a huge block! I usually make sure I have that and the cheddar-jack in my fridge at all times.I'm not sure a lot of people outside the west coast know about Tillamook cheese, but Target and Wal Mart

I am not a dairy person, period. I gag at the thought of milk. My dad still makes fun of me, saying I used to eat cheese fine (but no milk), until I was 3 or 4 And saw the sesame Street episode that they showed how cheese was made and I realized it was litterally moldy milk. To this day it makes me gag. Sometimes I can handle fake cheeses, and pizza, but that's it. The thought of just eating a piece of cheese . As I've grown ive found on a rare occasion I can do "goupy soup" (or whatever you called it)of sour cream, and sometimes yogurt. But that's as far as I'll stretch it. Even to this day, too much ice cream can making me pretty sick, because either I'm lactose intolerant or have developed a milk allergy. So I just avoid it all.
Also, ever since the wonderland visit, I basically keep a pint of cookie dough in my fridge so I can eat a spoonful whenever. Also, it's the real stuff, so bring on the raw eggs.
Lastly, I think we need to schedule a football game watch on Saturday when you're here (Utah vs UCLA on ESPN,to be exact) so I can teach you. Because not knowing who Brett Farve is....
I'm not sure a lot of people outside the west coast know about Tillamook cheese, but Target and Wal Mart have been starting to sell it in other areas. Costco always has but huge portion. They make really yummy ice cream too.
SF has been windy and 60s. Yesterday was warmer. It was low 70s in Oakland for the ballgame today but windy which for their is weird. SF typically has their summer in Sept so it wasn't as warm as it probably should be. It's so easy to pick out the tourists in the summer because they are the one's in SF sweatshirts and jackets they bought along the wharf because they didn't look at the weather before they came. It gets warmer inland, will be in the 80s tomorrow in San Jose and othet inland places but low 60s in SF.
After going to college here and living in the bay area a total of 7.5 years, I'm ready to go home tomorrow morning. Two days is enough. Next CA trip will be to Disneyland at some point.
Can't wait for Discovery Cove! I am going to get myself there someday

Thanks for the memory jog!
Gina, I can’t wait to read EVERYTHING about your Discovery Cove day!
Not sure abought the cookie dough, think I'd stick to an ice cream from Kilwins. We first went to Celebration as it was being built and have enjoyed going there on our visits ever since. It's a nice walk around the lakes. The town tavern is good and the Italian, D'Antonios.
Omg - Tillamook cheese - we were introduced to this when we lived in wa state - SUOER GLAD the commissary sells it now -⎌ is the BEST cheese ever. The yogurt is amazing as well!!
It is now 2am cst and I want cheese - lol
I am looking forward to your Discovery Cove review. We are headed there for the first time in November.
Sprinkles is very good! Actually surprising good - I am not a huge cupcake fan and I really enjoyed it. Amorette's will always be my favorite though.

So we are staying at Marriott Harbour Lake for our upcoming Universal trip. That resort had the check in date I needed-a rare Thursday check in. Otherwise I would have to find a room for Thursday night before the week started on Friday. It has been a quite a few years since we've stayed at Harbour Lake, but I love all the Marriott vacation clubs. And we have a 2 bed/2bath.
I think we have 2 of the 1lb blocks in the fridge with another almost done My mom buys them when they go on sale because I'll always eat it before it goes bad. She doesn't eat it that often. Love to make mac & cheese with it, so good with the sprinkled cheese baked on top.
Just checked our car rental again this am - went down another $20 with the military discount, so booked through ebates with 2.5% cash back and the military leisure code and its under $260 for our 8 days - we also ended up canceling out MNSSHP Day and got the refund on that and it COVERS our car rental now with $6 leftover! Since I booked our rental in May (accoring to saved emails) we have saved $49.72 with canceing and rebooking
Just popping in to say Hi before I catch up on the pages I have missed in here. We left early Friday morning to go up to the lake where there is only spotty cell service and no wifi so I am behind. We had a wonderful weekend. Tomorrow dd starts a new college program, and ds who is my youngest starts high school. Everyone has anticipation anxiety going on and I’m just hoping I can sleep. I will catch up in here before bed and dream of vacation to calm myself .
So I have to ask......do you make your own cookie dough supply to keep in the fridge, or do you buy it pre-made? I'm thinking that's not a half bad idea . I have been known to eat peanut butter by the occasional spoonful but cookie dough sounds even better.
I will definitely have to look in Sam's Club for that brand of cheese. While we have been Costco members since we moved to MI, we are brand new to Sam's Club (we literally just got a membership there last month). We don't generally eat THAT much cheese, but if it comes in a massive block, I'll just have to get creative so we can use it before it expires .
Mac and cheese.....one of my downfalls. And one of the (many) reasons I'll never be thin!!
Oh, why couldn't carrots taste that good?
