Finally in Orlando. Took off at 8:50. I'm so glad I switched my flight, though. The other flight didn't take off until 10:30 and isn't expected to be here until 12:45. I am so exhausted.

Glad you made it fine!

Much later than I wanted to be, but I'm here. On the Magical Express bus, and thankfully, Poly is the first stop.

Saw this T-shirt and thought of @StarWarsGirl

I still haven't brought myself to suffer through it. Although, if I get a good price this weekend (maybe Target) I'll pick it up, since I got all my weekly chores done early this week, being off from work. I know at some point, I'll have to watch it. Maybe I'll watch it in sections . . .

Avatar isn't my kind of movie but I knew I needed to watch it. Tech is awesome, the story for me was so so and didn't flow, it dragged on painfully slow.

@StarWarsGirl Have you been following this family? They are doing their 30 day challenge while you are down there.

Happy Farm Market Friday. I'm going to make the most of a yucky day by running my usual gazillion errands that way I have some free time this weekend to enjoy the outdoors

I'm hoping for sunshine Saturday Morning. I want to do their Farmers Market in the middle of Farm Country down here. I did it a few years ago-it was awesome.

I'm assuming the driving part was over when you took this photo?

Always!

We had already checked into our hotel too.

 

[Gabe1]

Oh my! That looks so good!

It was. All the food has been awesome.

This wassss a pork chop seasoned so well and two huge Trout filets also season nicely.

Girls can be the worst. I had a girl in middle school who was such a bully. She would stop and intimidate me in the halls, call me a b*tch, ugly, fat, etc. I always reported it and came home and told my parents. It stopped very quickly when my father threatened to press harassment charges against her.

It really does help to have a father who is also a lawyer!

So, here I am, preparing to play nice. Poms is having a start of the season kick off at one of the girl's houses. And moms come by at 9:30. (I really don't want to make nice with the other pom moms.I want to be getting ready to go to bed at 9:30.)

Pom pictures are tomorrow morning. DD came home and the black pair of dance shoes are suddenly mandatory...for tomorrow morning. No time to take her to the local dance shop before she was supposed to be at the party. Here is where I say I love my local dance shop. 10 minute drive for my house. I brought the tan shoes and told the lady I need these exact shoes in black. She grabbed them, I paid for them and came back home.

Now to find out about the black Nikes they want the girls to have for the first football game. Not the official ones. We are supposed to order those, too. (At least my DD realizes that this is silly, because this is going to be something close to $140 in sneakers.) Yep. Poms is very expensive. And @figmentfan423 it only gets better. They already have their bid for nationals. So I will be financing another trip for her to WDW, this time in February. Better start growing money trees in the backyard!

Oh my. It is very expensive to have a kid in sports. (I don't have any kids, but have heard stories about how expensive sports gear is for boys and girls, for most sports.)

When I was growing up, most of the sports equipment was supplied by the schools. Even in the summer, my two brothers were in town baseball leagues. The local business owners would donate money for the boys to have baseball caps and t-shirts. (Of course, the backs of the shirts might say, "Compliments of Bill's Hardware" or something along those lines! ) My parents bought sneakers for the boys, and they wore jeans. The fathers volunteered to be coaches, and the mothers would bring beverages and snacks.

I also know some parents in different towns that even have to pay for their kids' school buses, for the school year. That wasn't the case years ago. My heart goes out to parents now--I don't know how (many of them) manage to come up with the money for all these things.

I went to Target to get it yesterday, but they were out of DVDs--they only had the BluRay. But it was still a good excuse to not see it!

Very happy you're there!

I could use a bit of pixie dust if anyone has some to spare. I heard there is a rumor that one of DS's bullies may have moved to Belgium and I REALLY want it to be true, because she's a huge ring leader among the bullies. She's the one who warned the new girl not to play with DS and who started bullying said new girl because she didn't listen. If this girl is gone, her cronies aren't smart enough to come up with new ways to torture him themselves and they might not be so daring...maybe DS can have his friend back.

Sending pixie dust in hopes it's true. That would make school so much easier for your ds. xoxo

She could just hide in the bedroom...she never sleeps, so they'd never think to look there!!

I sleep although the past couple of weeks I've been on the @Cesar R M schedule sleeping in shifts

Flight is now 7:45. I'm drinking...

Orange Crush. Very common in B-more, because, ya know, everything must be orange for the Orioles.

My first though was it was a glass of Blue Moon at Sci Fi

That's one that is better on Blu Ray, or at least that's what the guys said

Sympathy like. Our band raised enough last year to cover the cost of shoes for this year's members and the same shoes are worn for chorus Although I did pay for them every time they're in front of the supermarket I drop something in the bucket

Happy farm market Saturday. Yesterday's was a bust due to the rain but they're going to be open Monday. So I'm only going to grab a few things today and do my stock up Monday.
