Every day I give myself a pep talk which is "When all this is over, you're going to Disneyland." Yesterday I was getting particularly frustrated and started looking up places to drink in California Adventure.

I have no clue why but tomorrow just got made a half day for the boys and i was reading about the construction of the wine bar in DTD

OMG so I passed a bunch of tests (psych test which is ironic, I can't even pass a Wal-Mart or Marriott psych test) and a phone screen for this company. They are having interviews next month, fully paid. I'm not sure I would like the job (HR Call Center) but it's the name I want. Part of me will miss New England. Jobs in VA. Still not sure on the interview, which I should be sure of because I would be an idiot.

I accomplished all the homework I intended to get done today. Now part of me is wondering what critical error I made since I
a. got it all done and
b. have time to spare

I saw a guy in shorts, sandals and a fleece jacket today, we had about 53 on the thermometer then.

But that's still shorts weather.

Good luck! Look on the bright side you'll be closer to Disney!

Congrats on getting everything done. Do what I did yesterday (when I didn't get everything done, never seem to) End Game always puts a smile on my face. Who doesn't like Borg

That's hat weather for me. anything below 50 and the gloves go on

Good grief! I'm still sooooo far behind...!
I'll keep with the "ketchup" for now, though...!

I have a silly and not important decision to make. Next week we'll be hosting Thanksgiving Yea and not so much LOL Any way what to wear is the question. Seeing we're hosting semi formal seems like the right decision but we're doing BBQ and traditional food, what should I do semi formal or casual? Either way I'll need to get or make something as nothing I have seems to fit

Wow Cesar! That last batch of vacation photos was amazing!!

some got corrupted when uploading, the internet is shaky.. funny that my 4g cell phone internet is faster THAN the wifi on the hotel.but cant tether.


going to try to upload again...




















as for today, xelha is still as gorgeous as ever.. they added a ton of stuff and weirdly. they added a new ugly "weenie" that doesnt fit at all. I wonder if an sponsor asked them to put it there. Photos of this later as I took mostly video with my cell phone .
But trust me, I went madman with my normal DSLR. So as soon I touch home. I will start editing and uploading.

@Cesar R M i hope you eventually post some more xcaret pictures. I was really impressed with that place, it was a little pricey as you mentioned but it had a lot of great stuff. We really liked the night show and the food at it was pretty good.

With the sinking of the mexican currency. The prices are going up to fit the parity in USD.
The parks are reaching Disney prices. the parks also have similar "magicbands" for photo, automated photos and some additional tours systems using a plastic and paper disponsable band.
Even the entrance scans your face and ticket similar to disney and uni.

To resume, the area has never been more expensive.
Example, shrimp used to cost 150 pesos for a good dish, the price is now 300 pesos.. (2x increase) lobster was 300 pesos, now its 1200 pesos (3x increase). fine cuts? 500 pesos in the minimum for the cheapest cuts (2.5x increase).

I dont think It will affect US customers as they pay in USD and the price is roughtly the same.

But then, everything is included in most parks,food..transporations..etc..
Xel Ha is definitively worth coming to visit.
Then theres tons of archeological sites and nature parks as well.
so this area is definitively filled with things to do.

What i hope will be enough plain bread for stuffing is in my oven proofing(my oven has proofing settings) Next comes the hard part hiding it from the boys

What on earth is proofing bread?? You're supposed to just bake it, right? Or, if you go to a grocery store, they sell bread all made and in a nifty plastic bag!

 

[MinnieM123]

Have no idea. have not heard from her in a LONNNNNNNNG time.

I miss @catmom46 , too. She was funny and I enjoyed her posts.

 

[MinnieM123]

It does, many of them. I almost got a polar bear last time. Probably will get one in June!

Good to know. That's the first thing in all of Disney Springs that I have any interest in buying.

 

[MinnieM123]

I give myself a pep talk everyday

What I want to know is: does it do any good?

Polar bear as in the interactive character (aka character) right?

 

[Cesar R M]

I really love the lamps. They are beautiful!

they indeed are. But I was sooo scared of asking the price of them.. I bet they would be in the thousands for a single one lol.
