Or should I say CAUGHT-UP? I was about 25 pages behind and missing out on all the conversation! I've been doing a lot of traveling for work which unfortunately involved much windshield time - about 700 miles in these past 3 days. Glad to be home. Now I just have to figure out what is going on with this big storm that is supposed to come in on Tuesday. 13 to 24 inches of snow, Really? Maybe the Amish can loan us their rigs so we can put all the horses to work, cleaning off the driveway?

I would love to travel for work. Unfortunately, the only traveling I do is to other desks and the printer and back. Which honestly comes out to be a fair amount of steps.

I'll email coworkers and then walk over to them asking if they got my email which obviously they did.

How easy is it to get to Wal Mart from Rosen Inn?

If that is the place that I am remembering on International Blvd., it has a part of it that is 8 or 9 stories high. From the railing on the top floor the MK Fireworks and the Epcot fireworks are visible. No music or sound but the visual is still seen. Nothing to do with Walmart I realize, but, I thought if that was the place I'm thinking about the Contemporary is visible from there as well and the top of SSE.

EDIT: I forgot to add... the fireworks are visible both at the same time with just a minor turn of the head. It's way cool!

I never tried it for years. And now I love it!

 

[catmom46]

Yep, that's pretty much the same face I made when I saw the pic!

That's so cool how the pic focuses on people riding together!

OK, I have to share one of my TOT pics. I decided to go a little heavy metal, but the guy next to me was screaming his head off the entire time like a little girl.

I had a student named Sarah Lee, she hated when people would make jokes about her and Sara Lee. Ironically, this student works at a bakery now.

My first name is Missy, so of course people have called me Missy Elliott my whole life. I feel like telling them every time they say it, "No, it's not funny. No, you are not the first person to say it. No, it does not get funnier if you repeat it."

You bet it was!

Yes, and let's not forget some of the educational aspects of MK and DHS, as well, like The Hall of Presidents (history) and the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular (how movie stunts are done).

Our oldest and youngest DDs have been involved in a fitness program (I've mentioned it before - they've been to Big D and NYC to some of their events).
Well, a little while back, oldest DD, with the help of youngest DD, decided to host an event for the program here in Austin. She expected maybe about 50 women to come. Turns out more than 150 signed up and showed up. She is sooooo happy!
They just finished their workout in the 77 degree sunshine of our Zilker Park downtown. She posted a group pic on Facebook.
So proud of both of them...!

? Buffalo wings are chicken...they were originally created in Buffalo, NY, hence the name. But Buffalo is actually really good, too....it tastes pretty much the same as cow, but it's leaner meat and thus a bit dryer.

I was a bit confused as well.
And since when Buffalos have wings?

Thanks, Figgy!

My friend had to make her bed and have room inspection every day and once her mom had inspected everything, she wasn't allowed to sit on her bed for the rest of the day until bedtime, so the bedding wouldn't get rumpled.

That sounds worse than military.

No idea why it reminded me of that woman who created Mary Poppins.

Hall of Presidents, aka parental method of torture.

Four 90 minute episodes. Original Writers to bring the show to the conclussion they wanted before they sent it into a tail spin when they departed a year before the series ended.

The setting will be 8 year after the last episode, so Rory would be about 30 years old. Each of the 4 episodes will be considered a 'season' so I'm guessing it will move even quicker than before.

more akin to miniseries then.
Reminds me of England's Sherlock Holmes with Bendidong Cumbersnoke. 2 very long episodes = one season.

 

[Cesar R M]

Kinda. Yes from Buffalo but it has hot sauce and often spices with lots of kick. So not for me.

Tyson buffalo wings are actually VERY mild.
Even less spicy if you add some butter before setting them to the oven/microwave.
