Hallmark was on yesterday's errand list. My older ds liked the HP 9 3/4 one and my younger one liked the Perry with the jet pack. I'm not sure my dh is getting me one, I like the one where Elsa sings "Let it Go" Him not so much. As the Frozen soundtrack was playing in the car again
I'll check out the Disney store site later and see what I like there.

THNX me either. We all wound up going out together yesterday
I got much more done than planned and we all had lunch together. It's a good thing my dh went with us as his usual favorite flannel shirt is now cut differently.

It's good for 12 monthsI really like the bus, now!No more Tables of Wonderland for us, it doesn't make economic sense. We don't do many TS restaurants. I like the breakfast at the hotel, so I'm good to go. Now, I have to convince the kids that we are going to bow out of TS for breakfast, after this year. We bought our pass a couple month's ago. I wonder if they will honor it?

I tell them to let me out ASAP. My doc had me knocked out the day before Thanksgiving as I tried to escape to cook dinner, this was after a bad car accident and he wanted me to stay in bed for a few days. This was many years ago. I had a fridge full of food and there was nobody else to cook it. I don't think I'd behave any better nowI do everything they tell me, I want to be sprung out of there as soon as possible.

Happy Monday! Yesterday's errands took much longer than I thought they would, but we also got much more done. I managed to get a few stocking stuffers and some more bags for Christmas gifts. Between that, what was already on the list and lunch it was mostly a very fun day. Although Thanksgiving this year is going to be a bit different as my dh said this is the year to BBQ. He bought a mutantly large pork butt to go along with the turkey. He also said something about getting a brisket and inviting a few extra people. I'm getting disposable dinnerware as there's no way I'm going to clean up the mess! Now I just have to figure out what sides I'm going to make.

When DD was 2 and a half or so, she was supposed to be in bed and I heard her playing in her room with this toy kitchen she had. When you turned the dials it clicked really loudly and I could hear it in our room on the other side of the house. I whispered to my husband that I could hear her playing with it and that I was going to let her play for 5 minutes and then go in and tell her to go to bed. 2 minutes later she gave a little scream and started crying and I heard her run to her bed. I went in to check on her and she said "The woman" scared her...she described what the woman was wearing, what she looked like, and said the woman had told her she was supposed to be in bed, not playing. I didn't see anyone there, so we told the woman that she was right, but asked her to please not scare DD and that I was the mommy and I would tell her when she needed to be in bed, that she didn't need to do that. It never happened again.This is a completely true story. I know, I've had a lot of experiences in my life, but it is what it is. When we bought our second home in Kansas City, it was used and unusual. For the first thing it had black wall paper in the bathroom. ( I forgot to say hubby put an offer on it before I had even seen it). It was very dark with dark paneling (popular) in the day. Heavy cornice boards and curtains. I never felt right , or happy in this home. We had our funny little doggie Freddy at this time. Every time, I would go to the basement, I felt uneasy. I did go into the home, took down the cornice boards, curtains, took out the dark brown carpet. It did lighten up the house. But, DD kept saying she saw a man ( she was 6 then), sitting in living room chair, at night. Of course I told her she was dreaming, or had a big imagination. Problem was I would hear footsteps coming down the hallway, late at night, around 3 A.M. Freddy would sit just inside the bedroom, with low menacing growl. It didn't happen every night, but enough to make everyone uneasy. To make a long story short, the owner of the house, had died in it from cancer. That explained a lot to me. We moved after my neighbor's told us what had happened in that house. I was never so glad to leave in my life. Moral of the story...find out what happened before you occupy a used house. Or don't buy used. We bought another used home in Colorado, no ghosts, but crazy things built in that home. The one we have now, was new, and I told hubby when we move for the last time, it better be new. I'm not putting up with that kind of stuff anymore.

Nothing like doing math early on a Monday morning, LOL With the changes to the APs, 20 per day for parking and $50extra to TIW I had to refigure a few things. My dh will upgrade to an AP, but it will be cheaper for me just to buy a few days for 2017 trip. TIW is really looking like a no go for now. That is unless I plan on spending 14 days drinking around the world

I am back (obviously)! Had a fantastic weekend with the girls. We did a boat tour of Delft, which was fascinating....very quirky history. The tower of the old church was built on ground that was too soft, and it started to lean. Rather than re-build, they added some turrets of different sizes and shapes to make it LOOK straight. And centuries ago, they paid taxes on houses according to how many windows were on the front facade of the house. Rich people would add windows to show their wealth, but one guy didn't want to pay taxes and he had a LOT of windows, so he looked up the definition of "front facade" and it said it was the side with the front door. So he removed the front door, built up a wall and used a side entrance in the alley. We toured the Mauritshuis museum in Den Haag (The Hague) that has famous paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Fabritius, etc. We toured the Vermeer museum in Delft, which was the house he lived in. And we toured both the old and the new churches in Delft, but I didn't go up into the tower of the new church because my hip is still hurting. But that church is where all the Dutch royals are buried under the floor in the crypt. Then on the way home yesterday we toured the Haar Castle in Utrecht. I'd been there before, but it was before I spoke Dutch and the family was coming to stay so we didn't get to see all of the rooms as they were getting them ready for the family, but it's been sold since then and the family doesn't come to stay in the castle, so this time I got to see the rooms I didn't see last time. It was interesting...the last Baron was pretty arrogant. He wasn't rich enough, so he went to France I think? And found a wealthy heiress to marry, then used all her money to rebuild the castle that had been destroyed. He wanted a park with trees, but didn't want to wait for trees to grow, so rather than plant seedling trees, he ripped out trees from somewhere else and had them brought in, only the trees had to come through the town, but were too big to go around this one corner, so he bought the house on that corner, tore it down, and brought the trees in...then he didn't want to share his park with the town, so he bought every building in the whole town and tore them all down and had them rebuilt in a different place that didn't border on his park side so he had the park all for himself. He had the entire town moved so he didn't have to share.

I thought of a big comfy quilt, and good book, and a real wood burning place.
