Margaritas around here are very hit or miss. I really love margaritas but jeesh about half of the sour mix tastes like soap. The premium ready made is OK but so not the same.

In my imagination I will live close enough to Epcot someday to Uber it home after visiting the World Showcase or AK frozen versions. I love daydreams.

Yep, I've had a few bad ones 'round here over the years, but, luckily, they're very few and far between.

Hope the Florida thing becomes a realized dream, soon.

That's also one of my favorite films. Teri Garr is priceless in it as well, especially the scene where he breaks up with her.

Hahaaa...! I've always been a Teri Garr fan!
And, yes indeed, she played the perfect neurotic in that film...she was a hoot...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

er um good sir?

 

[donaldtoo]

Thrilled for her and for you. She must be amazing!

Thanks!
She is, and I thank the good Lord for her every single day...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Congratulations to her! That's always so nice to be appreciated at work and know that they recognize how hard you work.

Thanks!
We were both raised to have high work ethic, and, fortunately, it seems to have rubbed off on our kiddos, as well.
Also, my 3-year anni. back at the firm was on Feb. 11th, so I'm due for my yearly review which will happen shortly after we get back from WDW. Should be another decent (retroactive back to the 11th ) raise, as well.
We really need it to make up for those 4+ recession/retail years...!

I love how so many movies (read Hallmark Channel ) have people at a country and western joint "two-stepping".
Not even close...they're just swayin' back and forth. Either, it's not important to the script , or the actors can't do a proper two-step and stay on script at the same time...DWifey and myself sure can...!

I only have 2 go to authors. Lee Child and Terry Pratchett

Two of my favorite authors are Dr. Suess and Charles Schultz.

It stopped snowing but now the wind has kicked up. I'm staying put until tomorrow and my dh will warm the car up. He likes the cold better than I do He has more padding

Same here, but, even when I don't have more padding, DWifey and I just never seem to agree on that thermostat setting...

 

[donaldtoo]

Isn't supposed to go above 30F here today. I think it's about time that we revoke North Carolina's right to be called a southern state. With the wind whipping around it feels so very similar to thousands of days that I have experienced as a Vermonter. However, by Tuesday it's supposed to be pushing 70 degrees so I got that going for me.

Try moving to "South" Carolina.

Have the best of fun, good luck on your trip! Eat all the good food you can find.

Thanks, Bets!
It'll be a whirlwind of fun...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Agree, I've never saw so much equipment being used in one place.

Yep, the faster the traffic flows, the faster the money flows.

 

[donaldtoo]

I don't know, last night I had cod and DW had perch and both were amazing good!

Yes, I can honestly say I have never had a fish as a friend, only as food. They're soooooo good that way...!

 

[donaldtoo]

But, there's beer up here, too. And, you wouldn't have to do a beer "run" (like down there), because the temperatures up here are so brisk, that the beer will stay nice and frosty for you, even just strolling home. (No need for running home to keep the beer cold, like down there in hot Texas.)

Just lookin' out for your best interests, good buddy!

Hahaaa...!
I'll still take my hot, beautiful, Texas...not only do we have indoor plumbing and A/C down here, we also have refrigerators and freezers, too . Plus, it has been very rare that I've ever had to make a TSSFFBR through ice or snow...!

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm sorry as I know how you hate this. Hoping for better weather your way next week. You took one for me, and now I owe you. If only we could all banish old man winter! No offence to the guys on here.

No problem, I'm Old Man Summer...!

[donaldtoo]

I can only wish. And smelling BBQ everyday, now that would be heaven.

Indeed...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Yep - up here we keep our beer in coolers too....

Spoiler

So it won't freeze.

Sympathy like.


Sorry, I can't help it...!!!

We camped in the Rockies, for over 30 years, and we never missed church held at the Rocky Mountain Campground, different pastors working toward graduating seminar, it was always so majestic and soul cleansing . You could even take your pets, I could never get over how, Freddie, our little dog that resembled Benji, was so good during those services, it seemed he would sit still and listen. The rest of the camping trip, well let's just say he would go a little wild!

Yes, way back in the day when I used to go backpacking, rappelling, and rock climbing in the New Mexican Rockies, are some of my favorite memories. Such a calming and reflective time for me, and at the same time, we were also kinda' wild...I'll just blame that on the thin oxygen and alcohol at altitude...!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Hubby and I spent the morning in bed, no it's not what you think! I'm having a relapse and hubby is still sick. Hope to ketchup tomorrow. xoxo to all!

Too bad you are having a relapse. Good idea to spend some time resting, if you try to do too much you might not heal as fast.
