Amazing how people can be 'lost' among thousands of others. Follow the herd, lol!Good Morning Paris. Sounded like a fun weekend for you. Those weenie dog races are so funny. I like watching them run.
Am indeed having iced coffee and just finished off my cake. Steady stream of people coming from the garages, including a family that stopped by me, and asked which way to the Studios. Um, go down and head right, as you see the globe, park is just over the bridge. Not the first that asked for directions. Am I a tour guide? Didn’t think so. Thought I looked like a tourist AP holder. LoL
Hope you have a smooth journey to UO!!Well.... have not packed a thing yet
Been tied up with Sprint - T-Mobile change and just decided to pay off my last month of leasing and be done with it
Could not get an appointment past weeks
Took first available one!
Have been with Sprint over 21 years and it was easier to to the switch now as could lock in to a T-Mobile deal at much lower price
We have been on T-Mobile since the 3 year conversion started but paying thru the Sprint system
Have been getting the perks from them for a long time
But time has come to switch now as T-Mobile has a special rate set up for sprint users to if they lock in this month
$80 cheaper for the monthly contract
Their special deal ends late October so easier to take care of of it now than after my trip
signed in for my flight now that I am home and seeing delta overbooked and offering $$$ to anyone to take a later flight
So once I hit the grocery store today, will pack the suitcase I will be ready
I will not be on to chit chat but will check threads out before I go to bed
Have not packed so will be doing that soon
Hugs to all !
See you on the other side soon!
Yay! You're so close now Sue!!!Schumi hoping for the best for your trip.
Charade, I’ll be putting finishing touches on what I’m packing today. I just can’t leave packing to last moment!
Hope your mom settles in with your sister.
I never have a car at Universal or WDW. The few times I go off site I Uber/Lyft, way cheaper than car rental + parking fee.
Lynne enjoy your relaxing day! You will be seeing me at SF dinner!
Paris thanks! Lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world. Yes week will pass quickly! Just have to get my butt in gear this morning! Ha.
Dachshund races are hilarious! And Bassett races too! There have been several held here from time to time. Sounds like you had a nice weekend. My husband is lamenting the end of golf season here!
It really downpoured last night here. I’m going to jump in shower and get moving and throw a small load of laundry in, do my errands, then come home and finalize packing items. Down to the final crunch! Tomorrow Covid testing and hair!
Wednesday evening will put clothing in suitcase.
I had jury duty years ago when DD was little. Not fun, since I was a stay at home mom and needed to arrange care. Now that I'm available, haven't been contacted...I blinked and it was Monday morning and I was getting ready for work
Busy and not busy weekend. Did some puttering and cleaning. Went out to grocery shop, and prepped a couple meals as well. I just like to have those prepped meals for quick weeknight meals, or for dh and boys to whip up when I'm working an evening shift.
Trying to get 2 days worth of paperwork completed. I have to go to jury selection tomorrow. This should be REAL fun given covid My eyeballs are already twitching over everything with this. I already know I have to have a rapid test before I even get into the court room. I am just crossing my fingers I am not picked to sit in the jury. I have already done it once, and honestly don't want to do it again.
Diverticulitis is no joke. DH had it so severe, he had to undergo a lengthy surgery and spent a week in the hospital. Thankfully, he's been good ever since!@macraven Have an amazing trip!!!
@Sue M Hope your week goes quickly.
I love the Poly too.
Well, I'm not always good, especially on vacation. Also, I need to lose some weight that I gained while being bad in July and August. We are going to a Ferrari Club Gala the night before the Formula1 race here in Austin. I need to be able to fit into something nice I have. Plus, I have diverticulitis. When I eat a lot of garbage, especially bready things, I end up paying for it. I am hoping now that I am no longer working that I can exercise more and be able to not always have to eat so healthy. If we can get out of Covid Stage 5, I will go back to the gym, and then if lower, yoga. Exercise really helps my health issues too.
Fingers crossed they don't want you I got a jury duty notice for the week that covid lockdown started here. Up until the morning that I needed to report, they kept saying they were going to make us go. I was freaking out, since we didn't know anything about how it spread. That morning they did finally cancel, because all of their offices were closed due to lockdown.
My MIL grew up in Sheboygan!! Another weird named city near us folks have trouble pronouncing is Oconomowoc.Love the Golden Girls! It`s a little dated now, but still so funny......and I think most folks know or knew someone a little like Blanche.......well, I certainly did....lol.......
I loved your jumpers for the event, it did look so much fun.......
Had no idea Polka bands were a real thing......and Home Alone 2 taught me Sheboygan was a real place......honest!!! I thought it was a made up cartoon type place along with Schenectady........
Hope the golf was fun!
Kyle did 2 weeks doing Jury service in September just before his week off. He enjoyed the experience of seeing how the system works and he sat on 2 cases over the 2 weeks, he`d do it again if called.
I`d avoid it too. Not something I`m in a hurry to do. Hope you can avoid it too.
And mac.....I know I already wished you a wonderful trip about 3 times......but safe travels and hope you have a fabulous time and enjoy every second, will pop some emails off as usual though..............
Well, what a morning yesterday! Torrential downpours that were similar to Florida rain and almost 50mph winds. But, by lunchtime the skies were blue and wind had ceased a lot, so off we went for a walk and it was lovely, breezy, but lovely and warm. 6 miles is enough on an afternoon.
But, starting to feel a little cooler in general now, sun isn`t just as warm and mornings and evenings are different. Dry and sunny this morning, well it will be when the sun comes up, so walking again and then rain this afternoon.
Haven`t a scooby for food today which is unusual for me.......
Happy Tuesday
Say that 3 times fast, lol!
Aside from one BIL, nobody in my or DHs family has left Wisconsin. And barely an hour away from everyone.
Sad, really...there is a big world out there!
I'll take one of each! They sound too yummy to choose just one!Safe travels Mac!
And maybe no Taco Bell Tuesday for Mac. But maybe here:

Hehe, probably not the same.
Sunny and 88 the high. Yay for nice weather.
Had dinner with Bobbie and her DH, nice meal at the large milkshakes place last night. Second floor, which was neat to see up higher. And when we left, the evening was warm, but a nice breeze was blowing. Decided to enjoy some night time pool. They were just setting up the movie, so swam a bit and watched a little, and hehe, their screen is much smaller than the one at the Hard Rock.
Was up early for some reason, but decided to relax and get going later. Enjoying my tea, and watching tv. Guess I will get going soon.
A Terrific Taco Tuesday homies. And yay, Schumi’s weather is nice now.
Yes, polka is big by us. The lively music just seems to have a positive effect on people, and you end up having a grand time!!Quick good morning before work. Hoping today will go by as quickly as yesterday did.
So far I have moved my suitcase upstairs. I'll pack Thursday night. I've never taken an Uber or Lyft. We took a cab once and it was not a good experience.
Ugh, jury duty. I only got called once and that was 21 years ago. I was chosen as an alternate, but was never needed. It's a good thing too. I remember that I wasn't feeling very well that week. I found out soon after that I was pregnant.
When I'm on vacation all bets are off. I don't go overboard with food, but I'm not exactly counting calories either. I somehow managed to come back from Disney 2 pounds lighter than I was before vacation.
Apparently they are big in the midwest. My husband has discovered a show called Molly B's Polka Party that he will watch when there is nothing else on. It's sort of like American Bandstand with Polka music.
Have a safe trip. See you Saturday.
3 more days for me.....
3 days!!!!! Awesome!
Heading to Pilates class in a bit. I've decided to go once weekly for now, and 4-5 days at the gym. Pilates is a bit expensive, and I already pay for the gym membership. This schedule will keep the pricing reasonable.
You know those funny magnifying glasses with a light on the top that dentists wear? They're called Loupes. DD had to order a pair yesterday to use in dental school, since they will begin some patient contact next month. Almost $3000!! And that was the student rate! Thankfully they will last her all 4 years of dental school....
Happy Tuesday!!!
