We're going to have a nice quiet NYE with just us and James' bff. So far on the menu stuffed mushrooms, mango chutney, hummus, naan, tomato, cucumber and onion salad, spicy eggplant, chips both potato and corn, onion dip and salsa. I think that should be enough. Why do I feel like I'm missing something? I have bubbly for the kiddos and a separate bottle of wine(mine, mine, mine all mine) I put away a while ago.

Yum. And what kind did you put away?

Yikes. When I first moved here, we lived with my inlaws and we went "home" one year for Christmas before the kids were born. I was so angry with my in-laws. They turned off the heat in our room, which I get, BUT they knew when we were coming back, and not only did they not turn the heat back on, but they also opened the windows to "air the room out". We had been awake for more than a day, we just wanted to go to sleep, and our room was like a freezer. And since the REST of the house was toasty warm, the heater in our room wouldn't come on, so we couldn't even warm it up. It was something like 45F degrees in there. "Well, you weren't here so it's a waste of money to heat that room." Sure...for the 2 weeks we were gone, ok....but why didn't you turn the heat back on last night since we were arriving in the morning??

Punishment for not staying put for Christmas? Gotta love passive aggressive.

Flight is delayed until 9:55 PM. At this point, I'm just ready to go home.

what for? snow?

@StarWarsGirl we've had the steam cleaner for a few weeks now and so far it's great. Kills all the germs and no chemical smell. Ours converts from mop to hand held so it can do almost everything. You may want to look into one seeing you have asthma

That be great for my DD. What brand/model did you buy?

 

[Gabe1]

We are looking to 2020 for our next trip to the world. It will give SWL a time to ease off . And time to save to hopefully for Wilderness lodge.

EDIT ; And because Bermuda has a new airport opening early 2020

Ha! Bermuda. Will always have a special spot in your soul.

Wilderness was lovely this year x2 and yes since we normally had will stay at moderates it was our treats for a very long 2017.
Honestly I'm going to price out some of the nicer hotels on Hotel Blvd since they are going to receive Park benefits etc in 2018. I've stayed at the Hilton and it is a very nice resort.

We have jobs and schools down here as well. In fact, my family found way more opportunities and choices down here then were even thought about up north. PLUS IT WAS COLD UP THERE!

Spoiler

We also have huge Farmers Markets that are open year round and contain more vegetables then I ever even knew existed.

^^^^^

But how did your dad think he'd ever get away with not taking you when SWE opens???? Has he MET you?

If I had opened a bottle of wine I would have spit it at the screen. Too funny!!!

Hrmm...maybe certain shades of orange, but prison orange? Of course, I hate orange, so I don't think anyone or anything looks good in any shade of orange. It's just a hideous color.

 

[Gabe1]

One of my relatives is an autumn and can pull off any shade of orange, me not so much.

That is me both with Purple. Love the color...it doesn't love me.

And did Belle pout?

 

[StarWarsGirl]

what for? snow?

Who knows. Not where we were.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

And did Belle pout?

Well, my parents got home at 9:30, so she pouted for them. Now that I'm home, she's done pouting and in the "Pet me, pet me, pet me!" mode.

Jasmine tried to get Belle to play, and Belle was not in the mood. She's definitely in the mood to see me right now. Even if I did pet about 8 different cats while I was away.

I'm sure they do and besides that there is nothing a genuine redneck would rather do then to shoot a yankee in the arm. So no sweat.

Someday I'll wave as we're heading farther south for good

 

[Figgy1]

Saw on the Weather Channel that we may have potentially 2 weeks straight with temps below freezing. Can someone say mini ice age? Not happy. I know I won't be happy when I see my electric bill.

Sympathy like

 

[Figgy1]

I get that. And with driving to WDW it sure does lend itself to more options.

We almost flew once and even adding the cost of a rental car and parking it would have worked out way cheaper

 

[Figgy1]

Can you imagine if you had 3 more boys like my neighbor!

I'm not even going to try
