A quick Sunday night stop in!
I told her that is exactly why I decorate my car for Halloween. AND...also to remind dh and the guys I work with what I could be capable of 
lol. I always seen people giggling when they drive by me. Even an RCMP did a little honk and a laugh at me lol. 
Quiet weekend of putter in the house. I baked some muffins and a couple loaves of bread. Didn't get outside to wash the windows. It has been raining on and off here all weekend. I'll head outside to do that when the weather warms us later in the week.
Funny story, as I was leaving the grocery store and putting my groceries in my trunk, the car next to me was pulling out, the driver rolls down her window and tells me that my car scared the heck out of her and she had a laughing fit. I have pulled out my dead arm to hang outside of my trunk, Guess she wasn't expecting to see a dead hand/arm hanging out of a trunk
I know so many people who have a fear of water. It seems so common. We always tried to get our kids comfortable in water. DD is not very comfortable. Hopefully she will get more comfortable as she swims with our granddaughter. Hopefully some of you are able to overcome that. It is not an easy fear to overcome.
I still have a little bit of laundry yet to fold, enjoy having the remote and maybe do a little more planning and researching.
Have a great night everyone. I'll leave a light on for anyone having trouble sleeping and our crew from across the pond.
it still looks quite lovely. Interesting how vibrant green that grass is, all the way down to the water’s edge.
oh, no, i feel your painAt some point, my husband texted me that their flight had been delayed from leaving ~7:30pm to ~9:30pm. So they weren't going to get in until really late. Eventually they cancelled the flight, Southwest
can i say I told you so?
Loved the detail, had quite the merry hunt securing that Tshirt. haven’t been tempted to purchase one since the Evil Dead yearlast thing you want to juggle on a vacation
they have a rather dismal life but, we are ‘legacy’ members, easy enough to swap them out in the parks. Was surprised to see a kiosk in the gift shop @ SF. Wasn’t aware they had them in the resort(s).
what did u think. glad I saw & nice send off for Bond but, ultimately unsatisfying for me.
oh, need to go & explore it later thanks. Never heard of that vendor.
nwahahaalso to remind dh and the guys I work with what I could be capable of
the bane of vertically challenged women everywhere. I refuse to deal with them. when selling homes actively, experienced more than a few people pass on purchasing homes because of that unfortunate placement Of MW.
never did see last years due to the reviews. What I’ve seen thus far is encouraging. planning on catching it on small screen via peacock. I do enjoy the option to stream (non blockbuster sorts of) movies that also playing in the theaters
i had one chocolate cookie, quality control thing. Then decided i would have a piece of Italian bread with butter & apple butter on top.
I generally like small noodles in my chicken soup, alphabets, acini de Pepe or mini shells. Rarely use egg noodles for anything. Rice, even less. Not a fan of the texture after it sets/soaks up broth…well, other than in stuffed pepper soup - yum! Now that it’s getting cooler, time to pull out all those standards.
the loungefly Disney purse/backpacks are so popular & have so many different cute styles. Some more subdued than others. they can be switched to crossbody too. was gifted the daisy/Donald one by oldest DS’s family for my BD. It’s quite cute, love the characters but, nothing in heavy rotation for me lol. I appreciate their effort.
Morning all. Burnt the candle last night between the Steeler’s nail biter win & tv. Decided i needed to rewatch the last episode of that show before starting new season. Wound up dozing off, finished it off this am before tackling the day.
need to grab the GD from school early dismissal for orthodontist check, then feed her (TBD) & haul her off to gymnastics by 5 pm. Figure that will be a good 120 miles RT. Will be great to spend some time, Probably should check the gas gauge first.
Thus far today made a batch of chocolate chip cookies, have a chuck roast in the oven for the mr. He enjoys it cold For some reason, will be suitable chilled when he awakes. wishing him a quiet day in the neighborhood. No way could I handle rotating shift work/sleep
stuffed a slab of corned beef in crockpot, will let it do it’s magic. Slice it down & make Reubens for myself & middle DS with plenty of leftovers.
need to settle upon something for the kiddo. Hoping i have some udon noodles lurking in the pantry. If not, she’ll get broccoli/cheese rice with some beef roast on the side. The combos my family enjoys can be interesting.

Mom would make a huge pot vegetable soup...we would eat it all week. It was soooooo good....that's one of the dishes I miss.
Yes, I'm happy that DH can make it
Ah, ok! Had something else pictured, lol!
I'm sorry about the travel troubles your husband and son had. SW is not making any friends lately...Slept in Friday. Had a great ploughmans lunch for 1, pumpkin juice, fire whiskey, and butterbeer softserve. I must have bummed around for a bit. My local friend met me again, but for early S&S. Hill House again. We did more houses without EP. She left pretty early, and I did more houses and bought a Jack Jar and t-shirt at the Tribute Store. I also watched the Marathon of Mayhem lagoon laser show. It wasn't as good as 2019, but it was still very enjoyable.
At some point, my husband texted me that their flight had been delayed from leaving ~7:30pm to ~9:30pm. So they weren't going to get in until really late. Eventually they cancelled the flight, Southwest
They did miss the 3 house tour Saturday morning, but my other local friends joined me. The house tour was great! Love these. I was really disappointed that my husband and son didn't get to do it. However, they made it in the afternoon with plenty of time to do our RIP tour. Our 3 friends in Orlando joined us. We had a great time. Jordan was our guide. We did all of the houses and repeated some. Hit both bars. Saw the immigration room at MIB and rode it. We also rode Mummy. Got some snacks at the Tribute Store. I had an amazing run through some of the houses, particularly Hill House. It turned that house around for me. It was really a great night. I am so glad that my family got to join me, especially since it was my husband's first time.
We slept in Sunday. I only slept in until about 10:30, even though we went to bed about 2am. DH and DS slept until after noon. I have a hard time sleeping in on vacation, because I want to get going and see stuff. We did a late lunch at Finnegan's. We decided to skip S&S, since we had EP and didn't feel we needed to repeat any houses. We headed back to the room, packed up, and relaxed. We headed out about 7pm and did all of the houses again and the lagoon show. We had some food from the stands, like the turkey/butternut squash gyoza, pumpkin churro, and my husband's first pizza fries. I really wanted to get some twisted taters, since I have never had them. I think the pizza fries weren't sitting well though, and I knew that I would regret it later. So, maybe next year.
We hit IOA Monday morning at park opening for our last day. Hubby and son headed for Velocicoaster, and I headed for Hagrid's. The Hagrid's VQ never opened up, and the wait had escalated pretty quickly. So DH and DS didn't get to ride it this time. We have ridden it a lot though and will be back for Thanksgiving. We did some more rides and then ate at Confisco for the first time. We actually ate in the Navigator's Club. The lettuce wraps and pumpkin hummus were excellent. I think I might try to make the hummus sometime. We rode the Hogwart's Express to Studios and do some rides. Our phone batteries were really low after trying for the VQ all morning. My husband's cable had gone bad, so the brick battery couldn't charge his phone. I had one in the car but didn't bring it to the park.
We went to the AP lounge while it rained to figure out how they were getting home and how to get a phone cable for DH. We finally decided that they should take the AA flight from Tampa, since the SW Orlando flight was already delayed by 2 hours. DH and DS needed to be back Monday morning for work and school. I didn't have to be back, and the Tampa flight was sold out. We found out that the fuel rods come with a really short cable, so DH got one. He would need it, since they were going to have an hour and a half drive. I got dropped off at MCO about 3:30pm, but my flight wasn't supposed to leave until 8:30pm. I ended up leaving about 8:15pm, so I spent a lot of time in the airport. We all made it home though. DH and DS actually only arrived 15 minutes after me.
Just watched Carrie. Now watching the documentary. We saw No Time to Die last night. I love going to the theater. I am so glad that our numbers are dropping enough that I feel comfortable going. We have another movie next weekend, Dune, and then Eternals 2 weeks after.
I was getting stuff together for the dressy event next week and realized that my dressy sandals are messed up. The strap has gone wonky. Since they are heels, I was worried I would twist my ankle. So, I spent a ton of time on Zappos looking for something. They should arrive Tuesday. I wanted to go to Nordstrom's, but they didn't look to have much local according to their website. I hate buying dress shoes more than buying dress clothes. I might try to buy some nice earrings. I haven't been wearing them again until recently, so I didn't really like anything I had. Most of them are cheap and tarnished. I might try to find something at the mall Monday or Tuesday.
What a brilliant idea! I'll bet that does get some looks!!

Yes, DH came through....he's a good one!That`s a lovely way to let her know about the trip...she`ll be thrilled!
I see American kitchens have that a lot, the microwave at a height above the stove......it`s not something we ever see over here. Only ever have them sitting on worktop space. We are lucky though and have more than enough....
Still looks lovely Lori and a cosy fire with a wild night outside....one of my favourite types of romantic nights in............and what a lovely surprise DH is coming after all!!!! Fantastic news......
We both said that about Culvers, everything was incredibly fresh, and honestly the rather young staff all impressed us immensely with their customer service. We don`t eat fast food generally, especially in America as there are so many other choices we love, but we would give it try again at some point.
We are loving TBBT......honestly, I haven`t laughed at a show so much in years! And more or less missing it all those years, it`s all new......I`ve always loved Sheldon though, but I do get the whole show now.
I love seeing cars with things like that......lol......
Yes, we made sure Kyle could swim at a very early age, I didn`t want him having any fear of the water. I do go in the water, well, a swimming pool and always enjoy milling around especially watching the Dive in movies at RP.
Always nice to have a night light on.......
Don`t know where Keisha`s quote went......Oh I hope she does manage to do it some more, it really does sound fabulous and she`ll be so enthusiastic.....you`ve definitely passed on the love of horror to her! She`ll be at HHN before you know it......
Oh I won`t bother looking out for that movie then.......haven`t watched that one in years!
Tom`s still trying to convince me to book the cinema to go see Halloween, but I`m so annoyed still with the mess they made of the new updated one last year I won`t go.......some things you can`t mess with and they ruined Michael Myers in this!
Still too dark to really see the weather this morning.....will make the most of it while we can, they`re predicting 40-50mph winds on Thursday.....might hibernate that day! I don`t mind it breezy, but no to high gusts.
Made chicken noodle soup from yesterday`s chicken last night, so that`s lunch today. Kyle has a days holiday in.....just because, so he can have some too, he is a fan of my home made soups especially that one, and dinner is still to be determined.
Think it`s croissants for breakfast today, nothing too exciting....well, it is Monday......
Have a lovely Monday
We have a 7 foot top hat wearing skeleton that we used to put in the front window. It had animatronics, so it moved as well. So many kids were scared of it when they came up to the house, that we finally kept it in the basement. Plus, Hatley is afraid of it too....what a baby, lol!
Vera Bradley, Kate Spade, Loungefly are a couple suggestions
What the heck!!! I wish I could say something even nastier, but this is a kind board.

I'd give that soup a try! Sounds nice!
A quick snowy morning check in
It won't last long, but still. It will just make more of a mess than anything else. Oh well, pulled the coat out of the closet to slip on this morning, as I don't like freezing. 
. YUM!!! I love a good pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. I whipped up turkey noodle last night with the left overs from turkey dinner last weekend. I also made 3 pints of stock. I still have one piece of carcass to make one more big pot of stock yet. A good bowl of chicken noodle soup makes a person feel so good.
That is an awesome pumpkin!!!!!!
hehehe. She sounds like dd when I asked her what type of purse she wants. Good luck with finding the perfect one for her.
Yum!!! Those sounds delicious.
hehehehe...it was the best 3.00 I spent at the dollar store. Dh asked if I really needed to have it hanging out....and I replied " YUP!!!" It makes people laugh. We all need more laughs right now.
Mom would make a huge pot vegetable soup...we would eat it all week. It was soooooo good....that's one of the dishes I miss.
So you wouldn't eat the soup with the macaroni in it huh? LOL
I love pasta...all kinds...I guess I'm part Italian.
Yes, I'm happy that DH can make it
Sounds like a very nice bday celebration for your sister!
Ah, ok! Had something else pictured, lol!
I'm sorry about the travel troubles your husband and son had. SW is not making any friends lately...
Really stinks when a vacation is just a quick getaway. Seems like you made the best of it!!
What a brilliant idea! I'll bet that does get some looks!!
Yes, DH came through....he's a good one!
Our microwave is mounted above our stove.
Chicken noodle soup sounds yummy!
Chicken and rice soup is common around here.....but rice or noodles, not both.
Happy day off to Kyle!!

What is wrong with people???
Glad your Steelers won!
The Packers played enemy #1 yesterday, Da Bears!
Our neighbors across the street are Bears fans. Each rival game, we light up our team signs in the window....and then we proceed to "heckle" text back and forth during the game! All in good fun though...they're aware that Da Bears 'still suck' Haha!!
I'd give that soup a try! Sounds nice!
I trimmed and cut up a roast, added some good stock, cut carrots, and potatoes. Threw in some frozen peas, and later will add some fresh mushrooms. Let it simmer in the crockpot all day long... A nice hearty stew for supper tonight!!
I ordered something for my DH and his brother for Xmas back in August....They finally came in!! Geez, good thing I planned this out extra early....I'll run to the shop this afternoon to pick them up.
It's a tiny, one owner place. She doesn't ship things out, you must get it in person. She doesn't even have a computer that I saw...she wrote down all my contact information in a notebook!
Well, I better scoot! Several errands to run today!
Happy Monday!
Yup...woke up to a light dusting of the white stuff already
Working a shift tonight...so I told dh and boys they are on their own. Sounds like they are drawing straws to see who pays for supper tonight
YUM!!! I love a good pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. I whipped up turkey noodle last night with the left overs from turkey dinner last weekend. I also made 3 pints of stock.

It's great you got your long walk in today. It's great when the weather surprises us. I love those extra days of warmth and beautiful weather - before the cold sets in.

Well, I should get to shuffling some papers and spreadsheet completed.
Have a great day everyone...stay safe!
I like chicken noodle...with lots of noodles.
