Going to see it on Friday with the Grandsons, should be fun, and funny!

We're going to see it on Tuesday.

Yea, we still haven't had even one 100 degree (static air temp) day yet, here.
In summers past we'd already had several 100+ degree days.
It just doesn't feel right...

That the way it has been around here. The hottest it has been so far this summer is 96 and fortunately that was a low humidity day. Since then it has stayed around 90 or 91 but the humidity has been wicked.

We're going to see it on Tuesday.

I'll say one thing for the Minions... they have merchandized the snot out of it. You cannot go in a store that doesn't have Minion things for sale. Even shoe stores carry backpacks and shoe laces, etc. I don't even remember seeing anywhere near as much Frozen stuff when it was at it's peak. Minions are cuter though and they don't remind me of snow because 'Cold always bothered me anyway!'

You're welcome and always remember and don't ever forget.... Daddy knows best!

At least you didnt ask for a free trip to a restaurant

It wasn't the cheapest city I've been in but London was more expensive. In Paris we ate in cafes and the meals would average about 50 euros. We usually ordered drinks (a soda for hubby and a beer for me), a main dish, and at least one dessert. I loved that the beer was usually the same price as a soda.

I love the fact that your hubby prefers soda, and you prefer beer!
The opposite here. I LUVS me some beer, and DWifey LUVS her some soda...!

Ha ha ha! This is too funny!! Yah, the face on the cake had that leather-looking, too many years in the Florida sun "look" about her!!

The one on the right actually reminds me more of Joan Rivers than Elsa.

Our lunch on the Rue Cler (a street that Rick Steve's recommends in his guides as having good food and a variety of shopping)
Started with some yummy bread

Hubby was excited to have Coke Zero everywhere we went in France, since that rarely happens here in the states.

Playing ketchup

Oh my. When you said "Playing ketchup", I might have, accidentally, thought...

 

[donaldtoo]

RIP COOKIES.. WE BAreLY KNEW YEE!

Fortunately, there are still quite a few left at the office. Some made/brought as many as 5 dozen...!!!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Wow, just WOW! Where is that?

Somewhere in North Carolina

I was bummed that it went down for so long last night. As you said, it must have been a big problem for them to take it down at a busy evening time. I kept trying after 7pm through just before 9pm. Then at 9, I had to get off the computer as I share it at home here, and my time was up. No WDW Magic at all for me last night. . .

I was suffering withdrawal.

Skinny Oreo. So now we have original, double stuffed and thin.

"Oreos are getting a skinny new look, and its maker says the new cookie is a "sophisticated" snack for grown-ups that isn't meant to be twisted or dunked." "Mondelez International Inc. says it will add "Oreo Thins," which have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio as regular Oreos, except that they're slimmer, to its permanent lineup in the…" AP.



Four of the cookies contain 140 calories, 160 calories for three original Oreos. Im thinking I'd rather have 2 originals.

How are you supposed to dunk those?

 

[donaldtoo]

Really? Zombie bots? That would be cheating if they are doing that. At least your clicks are from your friends, and we're not zombie bots here, just zombies.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Made me spit my coffee! Ha! Bet the little girl was not amused. Wonder how much the mom paid for that cake.

What she wanted vs what she got.....looks like Elsa at 85 years old.

I wonder how much they were charged for that cake.

 

[donaldtoo]

So, I'm thinking that probably the reason you ran out to the store and brought in store-bought cookies, was because you "might" have possibly eaten all the homemade ones, that you made at home last night?

Just a hunch . . .

Yea, that's the ticket...!

If only he'd requested strudel.

 

[donaldtoo]

I wonder how much they were charged for that cake.

I wonder if whoever made that cake was "charged"...

THNX and I have to stop at one over the weekend! Not looking forward to back to school shopping when we haven't even had a decent spell of hot weather yet

I hear ya. We had a great weekend but today I was in jeans and a zipper hoodie. Tonight I broke out the already cleaned and stored Northface to walk Wally. If it isn't cool it is flooding rains. It BEST IMPROVE!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Is any one excited for the new Blaze restaurant in Disney Springs? I would love to try it, I like the idea of thin crust for my pizza, and pick your own toppings, I saw they have vegan cheese. Does anyone know if that mean's it's dairy free. That would be so exciting to me.

I'd like to go there. I'm more a thick crust pizza person but I'll try anything once.

 

[donaldtoo]

Gah! 8:45 pm already? Man, I've got bad jet lag.

Also, today, we ate waffles at 2:00 pm, I ate some chili for lunch at 6 pm, and we still have not had dinner yet.

Oh, jet lag, how I hate you.

Oh, how I wish I had those problems.

In our Walmart they were not in the school supply area, though they might be there also (I'm so done with school supplies. ) the lunch bags were actually in the area with Glad Ware, year round lunch bags, kitchen glasses, glassware.
