Something About Nothing ... #12

[Robo56]

Morning Mac and Lynne

Keisha leaving in one sleep and Mac, Lynne, my little Sis and me in two sleeps.

Mac are you packed yet?

 

[Lynne G]

Um, no Mac. I think I know where the suitcase and backpack are. That is a good start for me. I will pack tomorrow night. I am a last minute packer. Also have to ask my younger DB to give me a before sunrise ride. Darn train work starts Sunday morning, so no local trains all day. Umm, if I have to drive to the City to catch the train, not much more to drive to the airport. Hope he is game. He used to work for a driving company, and drove through the night many times. He can be an early riser like me. See, I am getting ready. Kids also asked for a food shopping run. Will be a busy day tomorrow.

Getting close. Keisha, yeah, kids will always be ours to worry about. Hope yours are feeling better. And hey, start packing. You leave tomorrow!

Ah, little one is not feeling well, I may have a call from the school nurse. I need more tea.

 

[Metro West]

We plan to be there at our usual spot outside Mels around 7??? Does that work for you..........

That works and I won't do any houses w/ my Express so we can indulge.

Robbie and Lynne I wish I could be an early packer someday

But I did buy a replacement suitcase all I have to do is fill it

I usually am rushed with every day life and pack 3 hours before I have to drive to shuttle service
Then I relax on the ride to the airport

Leaving now for hair appt

 

[tink1957]

Good morning everyone

I'm getting excited for all the homies going to the darkside this week...hope you all have an awesome time here's some mummy dust to send you on your way I will be there with you in spirit....raise a glass for me when you meet up.

Hope all who are feeling poorly get better soon.

Time for another cup ....it's coffee day today and I have the day off

 

[keishashadow]

Please join me in a moment of silence. My iPad has died.

On your 2nd wind lol. I ne'er do an i update unless im forced to in order to get it to work. Don't put much stock in their reasoning/security esp thot apple stuff bulletproof.

What color? The suitcase not the hair.

1 kid to ER, patched him up after some tests, slept over the house last night as too drugged to drive. Looked good this am on way out to work. #2, well, his issues aren't going away just trying to maintain good quality of life for him & keep him ticking. What more can anyone ask?

Jr hasn't even brought his clothes to house yet for me to pack. I'm tired of nagging. Told him if he doesn't he can buy what he needs (on his dime) in Orlando. Seemed to do the trick lol. Wanted to drag his bag down with me & the mr since 'free' on SWA. Hate paying $40 a bag to spirit airlines more than i already had to dole out. Still far less overall than the ridiculous fare SWA wanted to come home when i booked it. Do getspoiled with the good fares i normally find lol.

Car rental prices have been rather dismal modifying my dates. Supposedly Alamo will honor my fare i had booked as still the same # of days even tho coming down a day early. I'm told notes are in my file. They are doing a manual adjustment as a courtesy, couldn't resend email confirmation ug

DSs' far-flung team playing away game a half hour from my house, Friday night lights on tap. It was in 30's when i woke up this am. Need to find my boots & mid weight winter jacket/gloves. It was 90 on Wednesday. My system is in shock

If i don't post back (as if) good travels to those heading out. The motley crew will try not to break Universal. Catch ya on the 16th

 

[Chuckers]

I hope you all have a wonderful trip!

I am SO not an early packer. I may through some things I bought just for the trip in a suitcase that will otherwise sit empty for a week, but clothes.. not until the night before. I am a weather checker.. hourly until I pack the night before. Which might be the reason I over pack. I can easily take two weeks worth of clothes for one week. I have so many special Disney shirts that I want to wear every one of them in the parks. This trip might be different.. I'll only be at the Mouse for one day, so I don't need all my Disney clothes... However, because I'll be going in January, I may want something cool for the day and warm for the night, which means two sets of clothes per day. So, I'll probably be over packing anyway.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels Keisha and gang. Looks like a beautiful day for a flight, but yeah, cool weather. Chilly this morning. Had to scramble to find a jacket. Even always hot older one had a sweatshirt on, but wore shorts. Little one had track pants and a sweat jacket. Only to 70 this afternoon. I guess I will pack a pant or two. Boots, nah, but socks for my sneakers.

Yay! Two more days Robo and Robo Dsis, Mac, and me. Safe travels to all you homies too.

 

[Monykalyn]

Kids also asked for a food shopping run.

Yeah my kids are more concerned with what they are going to eat while dad is in charge when I am gone, than the fact I am gone LOL!
Nice weather here-good fall type weather-upper 70's sun and low humidity. Although it was downright chilly this am when I went to free the chickens from their prison-er coop. (have I mentioned how spoiled they are?).

Oldest kid is going to MNSSHP next Friday on her bday. got a text asking to ship her Malificent horns and some black boots. Noticed she ordered some accessories from Amazon.

My (newly married) niece, her new DH (they've been together for 6 or 7 years even though they are 22 and 23-probably some of the most mature 22 year olds I've ever met! Guess becoming a dad at 16 will do that)-along with (his) 7 year old (DN has been an awesome mom to her) have decided to go visit DD at Disney in November. DD got an awesome CM discount at CSR, she will have free tickets for 2 days and we are gifting them Christmas party tickets (there is a CM discount on their date they'd be there). They have a 1 year old together but I think the baby is staying with grandma this trip. So I have been having some fun helping her plan!

As for packing-I finally put all our paperwork together in the park bag, along with our Magic bands. I didn't put away a suitcase from weekend to see niece get married-does that count as "starting to pack"? It is empty...
My MiL who is going with me (1 week from tomorrow) apparently was planning a personal item, carry on, and checked bag. For a 4.5 day trip. Not sure what she thinks she needs to bring?? We each paid for a checked bag, which is more than enough for me...

Hope all the ailing peeps start to feel much much better! And safe travels to all!

I think I saw that guy today in the parks!!!

Honestly, what do folks find to put in these huge bags for one day in a park?


Dull today, so very bearable doing both parks......well, the highlights anyway.......finally back in room about to get showered and hit Club Lounge before horror nights tonight........unless it pours down of course........sky looking very black right now.

Safe travels to all headed down this weekend...........

Good afternoon everyone. I am so thankful today that I don’t have to repair or replace my iPad.

Wagman67 - I’ve had people from 2 different message boards call my iPad a zombie.

Lynne - The iPad is almost 4 years old. I seem to have enough memory, but I think I will move all my photos to my main computer and see if it will free up more space. I still have all the pictures I took of our ALaska vacation on the iPad. (And there are a lot.)

Keisha - Oddly enough, when the iPad came back on there was an IOS update waiting for me. I went ahead and did the update. I hope I don’t regret it.

Schumi - I never understood why people carry huge backpacks in parks either. I try to carry the bare minimum with me. I do insist on carrying a decent camera though. I can’t rely just on my phone to take pictures. Thankfully I have a small camera with a great zoom lens.

I am not an early packer either. I usually pack everything the night before a trip. I need to be a little more careful this time since we will be flying instead of driving.

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, moving photos may be good. You can always move them to the cloud to save memory too. If you have only a 32 memory, you may want to delete apps you do not need too. At 4 years old, it is getting to be a dinosaur, not a zombie. You should always be updated though, as it usually includes patches and better security.

Ah, pizza night, and a sore hand. Not sure what I did, but drugs go good with food. I hope it stops being painful before I leave.

Have a great Friday night homies. A nice scary one for Metro and Schumi.

 

[Robo56]

Have a safe flight Keisha

Small children.. gotta save on ticket money some how...

 

[tinydancer09]

Helllllooo from Texas!

 

[macraven]

Helllllooo from Texas!

did you drive or fly there?
either way, it's time consuming to go from where you are to texas..


have you picked out all your bridesmaids yet?
or planned the wedding date?

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, the meet the parents fun in Texas. Yay, for the hello from Texas TinyD.

Slow Dis, so short hello. Safe travels to the Keisha family. Enjoy, and will text a hello tomorrow from MK.

Ooh, a cool start, 50. But, beautiful sunny start, with bright blue skies. No even going to see a temp in the 70's but that is okay. Time for errands and wash. Oh, and get the luggage out.

Enjoy this Saturday, and the last day of September.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. I had to get up early today to make a hash brown casserole for a brunch I am attending. I really wanted to sleep in. Not much else on the agenda today. It’s my 22nd anniversary today, but we celebrated last night since my husband has tickets for a football game tonight.

Lynne - I think my memory is 64. I deleted a few apps and will move photos this afternoon.

Chuckers - Sometimes I think you may be right about children inn the backpacks.
I’ve seen people pack changes of clothes, water, snacks, and even full meals for the day. I can understand wanting to save money, but I just can’t imagine lugging all the weight around all day. I always try to stay several steps behind people with large backpacks. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been hit by one with the person suddenly turns around.

Gotta finish getting ready. This casserole smalls so good, and I am really hungry.

I really get annoyed when the backpack brigade forget they have them on and turn and bash you! It’s been a bugbear of mine this year.......

Yep, we pack the night before or the same day........I know what I’m taking so see no need to pack months or even weeks ahead! I’d need to wash everything again if I packed that far out.........yep, cameras for us too as we don’t carry a phone with us........like to be out of contact with everyone........except Kyle of course but we Skype him!

Small children.. gotta save on ticket money some how...

Lol........wouldn’t surprise me.........



Didn’t make horror nights last night as rain was awful........went to Strongwater Tavern instead.......

Discovered a few rums we liked.........

Still raining this morning, although lovely now........bit cooler than previous days. Hoping to get to our final horror nights tonight......unless it rains again.........

Keisha, hope you made it safe........and safe travels to everyone else.........

mac........hoping you get my emails.........wrote out 3 and they all disappeared into cyberspace........last one seemed to go though.......hopefully!

Happy Saturday all.........

Early and chilly start with sons soccer game at 8 am! The team played soooo much better, the coach actually coached and the team won 5-0. The other team was pretty good too, and even 2 weeks ago would have stomped sons team.
Got kid off to band bus- will be going to see finals tonight (they usually win this competition).
Hope everyone has safe travels or has arrived safely! One week to go for me. My Haunted Mansion skirt came today so now I'm set for party.
Decided to haul fall/Halloween stuff down. Apparently I went sale shopping last yearthis is only the inside stuff and doesn't include costumes...2 more bins of stuff for outside are in garage. It's going to take all weekend to decorate! But it's this weekend or never...
