Kapono loves the snow, too!

We haven't figured out yet if Jack likes snow, because he acts indifferent, and away off on his own planet (Pluto? ). Sometimes we wonder if he's even aware that he's out in it. He gets so self-absorbed at times, that he can tune out the world around him--he snaps out of it, if food is within smelling distance . . .

Yes she likes snow sometimes, I have mentioned she is a little quirky. But she likes warm weather better because she loves going out in her yard to the hammock with me. Warm weather also means walks and time on the porch. I know because she told me.

Wow, 2 days for Thanksgiving is generous. A lot of people want to take off the Friday after Thanksgiving, but have to use their own vacation time to do so. Same is true for Christmas; we only get 1 day there.

Yep, they for sure treat us well when it comes to those 2 holidays. Although, when it comes to Thanksgiving, the Friday after would only be a half day anyway.

There are so many things at Disney I would love to own. It is rare if I ever impulse buy anywhere let alone at Disney. Thankfully I'm not wired that way. Last trip I came home with a few new skulls and their cousins from Mexico and a classy rain jacket from Animal Kingdom. For years I've been collecting skullware from Mexico so it was a given, I use to collect stoneware dinner plates from Disney, a new design each year, my actual dining plates at home, it is fun. The rain jacket, I needed one and was my Splurge. Oh yeah and a few new antenna toppers.

Although I'm not really a fan of the skulls, I do enjoy the colorful critters in the Mexico pavilion, but, just quite haven't gotten around to purchasing any over the years.
I've mostly purchased pins, carved animals from Africa in AK, and a few t-shirts.
But, yes, I have seen literally thousands of items there I would love to own...!

Again long term vs short term thinking

Yep, they do a pretty good job of trying to keep a cohesive team together for the long haul.
Along with the other perks I've posted about before, they also provide us with decent healthcare, and a 401K/profit sharing.
But, as I've also posted before, it can be quite stressful a lot of the time, and some just can't handle it.
But, also, I ain't complainin', 'cause things could always be a lot worse, as I know from all those years i spent in retail during the last economic downturn...!

If you make it over to Kennedy you can stop there on your way back to WDW

Definitely want to make it to KSC at some point...sounds like a plan...!

Well, I get a 3 day weekend, snow day here today. We really don't have a ton of snow yet but it is still supposed to keep going all day. The winds are really gusty too, so I bet there will be some decent drifts eventually across the roads.

This snow day comes in kind of handy. With my cold (which is basically gone now) I seem to be losing my voice. This is a trend now for me with the last couple colds and Tuesday when I went back to work by the end of the day I was squeaking and that continued through yesterday. So with today off I can let my voice heal a little, since I only have hubby and Kapono to chat with here at home. Although hubby keeps laughing at me when I'm talking and my voice gives out.

Cool for the 3-day weekend, sympathy like for the snow...?
And, hope your voice is getting better by now...!

We are taking just one checked bag between us. Both of us packed this morning. My side is very neat and tidly packed, hubbys side looks like he just threw the clothes in. I might have to repack his side.

I can usually fit all I need in a carry on sports bag.
And, yes, like your hubby, I pretty much just throw it all in there...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

My dh packs the same way

I say wrinkles schminkles, they're all gonna' sweat out in the Central Florida humidididididity anyways...!

It was strange sitting out on my deck wearing shorts and a tank top looking out at the last of the snow/ice bank.

HA!!! Take that winter...!!!!!

Looks like a drunken Mardi-goat...!!!

I see a specialist on Thursday. Of course it had to be my dominant hand.

Hope the specialist can get ya' all better and fixed up!
Prayers...

Carp my dh wants me to watch Avatar with him this weekend. Guess I should sooner or later

Did y'all watch it yet? And, if so, what did you think...?
As I posted earlier, I've yet to see it in it's entirety, but, probably should, at some point...

 

[donaldtoo]

I didn't think you were really, but, it was just the vibe I got, from it... all's fine with me, I just wanted to be sure that I didn't accidentally offend anyone. Honestly, when I really want to attack, I'm pretty good at that and there is no real mistaking it usually.

Yep. If somebody was to really miff me off on here, I would do one of 2 things...
Either ignore them altogether (and I don't mean put them on "ignore" - just simply ignore them), or answer back ed off enough to where I didn't use any smilies, caps, or punctuation.
As most here have probably noticed, I mostly, but, not always , choose the former.

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty then, out I am...
Y'all be cool...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

I just spent some glorious time hiding in my basement. A tornado warning was issued but thankfully nothing came of it. I grabbed my boys and my sewing machine and ran down.

Is your sewing machine that important? XD

 

[Figgy1]

I'm glad nothing came of it, but I do have this funny image of you and the boys running toward the basement with you clutching the sewing machine and the boys carrying bolts of fabric.

Not exactly. James grabbed his cell phone and my older ds his ps4. We all have our priorities
