Schumi, it is unusual I did grocery shop today.
I don’t get out of the house much but was not going to wait and send Mr Mac when he was to come home in the afternoon today.
We only buy meats etc that we will cook with in a couple of days
We don’t freeze any food except ice cream or some basics such as vegetables that are set to be cooked in a microwave bag
Only times I go out is to the private ladies gym in town
I had to take a pass on it until I had a doc release that i was covid free
Started back to it yesterday.
BACON………
I cannot recommend GMS (gold mobility scooters) highly enough...newer & smaller type that was easy to plop in back of SUV. that was very important for me as first time user of one last summer with the broken foot.I usually rent mine either off site with which ever company has the best rates or at UO park which has higher fees
Buena Vista is good
Have also used the company recommended on the Disboards
unfortunately, we were marooned on the people mover at WDW that night. Boarded it well before the storm hit. It experienced operational difficulties (numerous stops & starts) that had us delayedheard this morning we had 800 lightening strikes last night. Yikes! It was a good show from the safety of my room!
after the above incident, i need to take the high road. who doesn’t want to see Nessie?Loch Ness is stunning. Very atmospheric and even better if you see the monster….. We actually prefer Loch Lomond to spend time around, but any of the Lochs are stunning up there.
Long as it’s not the entry way view we had. I also prefer the lagoon viewRight now I have a poolside room, but I’d rather not. I wonder if they would think it was weird if I asked to downgrade.
Northerners haven’t built up any sort of tolerance to those rotten buggers. Remember my youngest wound up in the ER back home after his visit encounter in U? Poor guy‘s leg was so swollen and painful. none of the ER drs had ever dealt with it beforehand. Had to consult with john Hopkins as to treatment protocols.fire ants can pop up over night
well, nice to hear that turned out well after all. Happy, happy to your mr!He is doing good. Our Podiatrist was out of town and he was given an appointment with a new one and we like this guy better.
Congrats to him, he’s going to need a bigger cap in which to plop all those feathersKyle is picking us up early tomorrow morning to go watch him run a half marathon. We missed the last one he did in May as we were still in Orlando, so we do want to be at the finish line for this one. He hadn`t started running this time last year so he`s doing fabulously, runs several times a week doing varying distances and his fitness levels are extraordinary now......he`s so lean!! I`m so jealous......lol....
We liked it well enough when it first opened, then felt the quality of the meat declined…too fatty for us on next 2 tries. Disappointing as when it wasn’t overly crowded, a fun place to grab a quick, cheap bite.more to eat at that Pig restaurant, and maybe do a little shopping. She likes the bath place there, and we tend to stroll in that huge Disney store
That sounds encouraging. The mickey mouse Publix cakes I’ve seen look amazing. Have had their cookies. Don’t get the buzz re their hoagies though. Pretty much the same quality as our local WM’s version, somewhat lacking in freshness. northerners spoiled with a hoagies offered in most pizza shops.Mr Mac did a bike ride with friends this morning leaving the house at 7:30
My kind of weather.Beautifully still day here, but definitely cooler than it has been, very autumnal mornings already and feels more like late September.
I wish I had his motivation. I'll never be a runner, but I need to start walking more.Takeout pizza for dinner tonight for us and Kyle is picking us up early tomorrow morning to go watch him run a half marathon. We missed the last one he did in May as we were still in Orlando, so we do want to be at the finish line for this one.

I`m so jealous......lol....
I'm not really ready to think about that either. I don't think we will do much in the way of gifts this year. We are taking a trip for dh's birthday which is Christmas Eve, so probably won't spend much on gifts.Ack, to Christmas shopping.
I really miss Publix. We don't have one here.Hit Walmart and came home
parking lot at Publix was quite full but can hit that place another day
Their bakery we can’t get enough of !
They have the best bread rolls and sweets
They kept you on the ride in the rain for an hour??? Yeah, I think I would have given guest services an earful.For those who are familiar with the area, there was no windbreak. We sat for 55 minutes getting thoroughly soaked while debating if we would get struck with lightening. finally were evacuated from that unfortunate cluster of events.
spoiler alert, we survived. Can’t say the same for guest services
Domino's is pretty average here. We prefer getting pizza from a local place.speaking of pizza, we are finally getting a dominio’s franchise in the area. can’t say I’ve ever tried it. any thumbs up?
Please don't say that.Our local news said they are migrating earlier than usual.....sounds like me.....head South......lol.....
That is so awesome! Running if not one thing I can do. I would love to, my knees would not last very long. Half marathon is nothing to sneeze at - That's a long ways!Kyle is picking us up early tomorrow morning to go watch him run a half marathon.

It's great Mr. Mac is getting back to old activities.Mr Mac did a bike ride with friends this morning leaving the house at 7:30
I did grocery shopping for us
It’s rare i do that task
It looks like you had a great trip - minus the episode on the people mover!Hello sunshines, I’m baaaack, in black after my crew ran the mr & I ragged. We ate, and ate, then ate some more. I’m at the point I don’t want to look at a carb
Domino's is o.k. I love their garlic bread - it's salty and super buttery. Totally NOT good for you It is not a favorite in our household - we seem to have finally agreed on Pappa John's or a local joint.we are finally getting a dominio’s franchise in the area. can’t say I’ve ever tried it. any thumbs up?
That is awesome!!! Way to go! Your rocking the classes.This morning I took my final anatomy test. I needed 82/150 and scored 138, so a solid A in that class.
With it only the two of us living here, we do eat out a lot
and it’s not the taco bell and junk food places we go to
We do a lot of dining in our town for bbq / steak joints, chinese etc, sit down places
Just when you thot that pesky rash had gone away…

Happy Birthday Vicki! I am so sorry to hear of your beloved Sasha’s passing, such a beautiful husky she was.

Charge lasted all day. They delivered directly to us at WDW & picked up from bell services at U (no need to be there for drop off or pick up).
Bonus: the price for 8 days was less than two days rental in the parks lol
unfortunately, we were marooned on the people mover at WDW that night. Boarded it well before the storm hit. It experienced operational difficulties (numerous stops & starts) that had us delayed
some idiot decided he had enough and jumped out of the vehicle. That triggered procedural lockdown of all the cars. They won’t run them until the entire track, access points etc. have been officially cleared by the staff for fear of running said idiot over.
less than a half hour later, the storm hit. At this point we were just outside space mt before the joffrey’s coffee stand.

The Domino’s when we lived in the north and the same franchise where we are now are fantastic !
Best pizza around for us
If we ever had an order issue, they redo our order and deliver it
Papa Johns near us has many complaints
Stand alone pizza places near us are decent mom and pop places but don’t have delivery
Hi everyone. Long day today. This morning I took my final anatomy test. I needed 82/150 and scored 138, so a solid A in that class.
B and I went shopping. I didn't realize that this is tax free weekend. I won;t make that mistake again. I didn't find any shoes, but B got several things for back to campus.
When we got home I took a nap, and then we went to dinner. This evening I finished up my finally photoshop project and submitted it. I only need 5.5/100 to get an A in this class. I think I'm good.
My kind of weather.
I wish I had his motivation. I'll never be a runner, but I need to start walking more.

Guess I should try to get some sleep.
Making a quick late night stop in!
Not much happening here today. Went out shoe shopping with dh later this morning/afternoon, then I went back to the mall to check a few other stores I didn't want to drag him into. I went into a few places to find a dress for my sister's wedding. I found one I might be able to wear at Marshall's. If I don't wear it, at least I can take it back. They do have a great return policy.
It's not wonder I wait until we get to the big city to hit Sephora! At least if there is going to be a store, there should be stock! 4 of the 5 items I went in to get, they were out of. I wanted to try a new foundation and one other new item - of course, they were out of stock First world problems I know lol. Not sure if I will place an order online or find substitutes or go back to the old tried and true products.
Did a little puttering around the house and cleaned a few corners. Tomorrow we will probably head out to get a couple of things....as I forgot to cancel our Hello Fresh order So that comes Monday. I will just need a couple of things to help get through the week.
Please don't say that.
That is so awesome! Running if not one thing I can do. I would love to, my knees would not last very long. Half marathon is nothing to sneeze at - That's a long ways!
Well, I should head to bed. I'll leave a ight light on for anyone coming while it's dark.
We don’t have sales tax in PA on clothing, (non athletic) shoes=equates to a game of chance when buying athletic shoes lol or non prepared food in grocery stores.B and I went shopping. I didn't realize that this is tax free weekend. I won;t make that mistake again.
I wait till they have a good sale online there. tend to stick to my favorite products. Did just order white eye crayon to try that reverse eyeliner trick sweeping internet lolIt's not wonder I wait until we get to the big city to hit Sephora!
Honestly, it was more concern for GD. Even tho soon to be 12, her ‘kid’ was starting to peek through more every time the lightening boomed. i had taught her that thousand one, two method of judging how far away long ago to soothe her fears. Hard to assure it’s ok when the flash & sound is nearly simultaneousI’d be angry for that rain filled ride, Keisha. Hope rest of trip was much better.
fully admit to enjoying ‘good’ fast food. No, that is not an oxymoron lolWe`re the same mac.....we like to eat out as a couple as well as with friends, but never fast food. I don`t think we`ve ever been fans of burger type places and never fed Kyle on anything like that when he was younger, so he never touches it either I`m glad to say.
carole hope kyle does great today!

the outlets north of me are packed with Canadian bus tours starting early august.

The people huddling under the nearby bathroom overhang were shouting us words of encouragement. Said they had repeated informed security etc. we needed help…to no avail. Where’s lassie when u need her?
had to twist a few arms, they made a good faith effort and promised to re-evaluation their protocols in that situation; can’t ask for more.
carole - how did Kyle do today? That is a massive undertaking in my book.

That includes occasionally indulging in our favorite McD’s. Those double cheeseburgers with extra pickles are pretty sweet .
Admit even their tightly monitored franchises are surely not all equal as to their service & product. We only visit a few. The one near the values at WDW is a tightly run ship. Have run into a few Starbucks that are quite questionable too with obviously burnt coffee yuck
Interesting to read the different takes here re dominos. Will def give it a whirl. The little Caesar’s that came to town awhile ago was so bad it didn’t last 3 months. Too much competition from the indecent shops Problem there tho is they have raised prices by a solid 40% & unable to offer delivery. I can get past that but, they’ve also cut back on their quality, especially the cheese. It’s an obviously different product, awful gloppy mess giving new meaning to plastic cheese.
Going to flip a coin as to whether I’m going to rustle something up for dinner or head out. It’s so steamy/humid here from a solid week of rain. at the risk of being a girl, hate the idea of venturing out and have my newly blown out hair fall
Winner winner chicken dinner this evening..
We ate like pigs
Since we ended up with a larger hen than usual,
we will be looking at that leftover over chicken for days to come ..
I have two meals I can think up I’ll make.
If anyone is in my neighborhood tomorrow, come on over for chicken
I just embrace the humidity...and rock the big hair/curls. It's either that or pull it back.It’s so steamy/humid here from a solid week of rain. at the risk of being a girl, hate the idea of venturing out and have my newly blown out hair fall
That's still freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He had great lap time!So, it wasn`t a half marathon he was running after all...it was a 10K race with over 1,300 runners registered. Kyle came in 106th out of them with a time just over 40 minutes.
Gosh...if I was close, I would be knocking on your doorstep!If anyone is in my neighborhood tomorrow, come on over for chicken
It sure doesAnd it certainly feels like a Monday. Ugh.
