Okay so the severance check has been deposited into my account. Most people would not think it is a significant amount, but it is the most money I have ever had in my bank account in my entire life. You guys know me - I don't care - I post anything - but they made me sign this like 12 page confidentiality agreement, so I just can't say. But let's just say that it is more than enough for a Disney trip with a bunch left over. My strategy is to take Phil on a trip anywhere he wants to go to butter him up,and then tell him that I've booked a Disney trip and he can come or not come. I'm considering Food and Wine, but I'm also wondering if I should just wait until Avatar Land opens. Anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

Good for you and just so you know that I'm here for you, if ever that money starts to burn a hole in your bank vault, feel free to forward a few thousands to me. I promise I will put it to some humanitarian use. (I am human, I believe)

It's not to bad coming this way. It's a lot worse going back. It usually only takes a couple of days to get into the swing of things coming this way, but it takes a couple of weeks going back. We're good for now, thanks!

That's what I've found going out to Hawaii (6 hour difference from here during Daylight Savings time). You go out there, and you basically stay up until 9 or 10 pm their time, and then you're right on their time. Coming back...ugh.

Lesson #1 of cat ownership: a cat who wants to be on your lap will find a way to be on your lap, even if there's a computer that was there first.

Yep, this firm is a hoot...!!!!!

Another whole day to do absolutely nothing. Where shall I start?

The other day, my Doc told me I wasn't eating enough donuts.

OK, obviously, she didn't.
But, wouldn't that be awesome to hear...!!!!!

I had a donut today.

Exciting. Home news page here this week. Two restaurants to eat at and a new store that won't cost more than my hotel and theme park tickets combined. Win

My WDW vacation coming up in just 45 days. This morning I did some bookkeeping to see just exactly where I stand with my Disney Visa Bill. I should have the trip paid off before I leave which is always my goal.

We need rain. Send it our way.

We need it too.

Good almost afternoon all. Hubby spent the last fours hours getting rid of a terrible virus that infected everything on my computer. I got it from the sight that @Cesar R M warned us about. It was too late for me. But, I seem to be up and running again.

Today is the first entirely free day I've had in over a week. I didn't put on real clothes until about 10 minutes ago and read one of the new Star Wars books. The entire thing. Which was about 550 pages. In one day. In retrospect, I probably needed it.

I'm glad you found your relaxation bubble.

Poor France can't get a break.

So sad, and we lost 2 American's also.

I feel a whole lot better when I eat my own food. It's not that I am the greatest cook, but hidden ingredients in prepared foods, and restaurant food, are more likely to make my stomach a mess. Some people can eat anything with no problem. I am not one of those people.

I'm getting the same way, the older I get. I have to eat very low fat, and no dairy, gluten bother's me too. But, I try not to eat too much on any given day.

 

[betty rose]

I can pop an entire container of cherry tomatoes like others pop grapes...love those things...!

Me too. I keep a bowl in the kitchen, and munch on these while cooking.

 

[betty rose]

Oh my!
For some reason this made me think of how much I love sun-dried tomato pesto and basil pesto...!

Sometimes, I think this thread should be named "The Chit Chat Chit Chat Food Food Food Food Thread"...!!!!!

Great idea!

I love peaches. It's my favorite fruit of all time. When I was a kid, there was an ice cream place that had an absolutely wonderful peach sundae. They served it with whipped cream, of course, and Nabisco Sugar Wafers. What ever happened to those. Yummy. My mouth is watering now.

I miss the Nabisco Sugar Wafers too. I loved putting them in the fridge and eating them cold.

Your idea sounds like a win win to me. I'm partial to Food and Wine. But, it's fun to spend anytime in Disney. That was no help was it?

What a great feeling to make a big deposit and see those numbers in your account. As a teacher we get all our summer checks deposited at one time, so every year in June for one day I feel rich, and the. I have to budget it out for bills.

I say plan the Disney trip you want and take Phil away for a nice wine weekend to butter him up. As for food and wine or avatar, that's a tough call. F&W dates are for sure but Avatar dates aren't official yet. So I lean to F&W, plus if Phil likes wine and food that might draw him in.

Or maybe a quick F&W and a trip down when the Avatar thing opens.

And as others mentioned a solo trip is fun or maybe a trip with friends. @figmentfan423 and I can keep you company.

Include me too. @BuddyThomas would be fun to travel with. And I would finally have a drinking buddy.

Shopping, pool time, napping. Fixed that for ya! Have fun Friday!
