I will do a trip report when I get home. I took notes, so I should remember everything this time and actually FINISH the trip report. Helps that it was only 4 days in Disney. Tomorrow we visit Paris because the kids want to see the Eiffel Tower. Then we go home.

Hope you had a great time at DLP and that the kids really enjoyed it. Cannot wait to see pics.

I agree, I'm surprised WDW decided to suddenly not have Marie doing meet and greets once she got replaced by Stitch. They should had moved her back to the France Pavilion in Epcot since that's more fitting for her. Maybe they could finally bring her brothers to WDW someday if that ever happens.

I've definitely seen her in Epcot in recent trips. Sometimes in France, sometimes near International Gateway. I think she's just one that's hard to find.

I got myself a Marie tote bag last trip. I love it; it's huge and zips up. I think it says "Dreaming of Paris" on it and Epcot World Showcase.

Being a cat person and rather sassy, I have a soft spot for Marie. If my kitten were white, I probably would have named her Marie. But she's not, so she's Jasmine.

Out for me it's an early day tomorrow. Hubby just informed me we are sitting in first class. Nice!

Excellent! First class will give you some extra space, so it should be a comfy trip for you. Enjoy!

I'm so glad it's the weekend!

@Gabe1 you'll be glad to know my dh realized he screwed up big time and is taking me to look at something I hinted about after we go to the farm market tomorrow. i may have laid a little guilt on him You're so right stay out of the kitchen and no cold sheesh, men

Well I hope you get your payback tomorrow!!!

I went into the City (by train mind you) to a farmers market. Best one I've been to in years. Sadly I couldn't do this one very often just so freak'n far away. I bought so much and the tomatoes were awesome still!!! Downside I'm schlepping two bags of produce all afternoon. I can't wait to try and pop PopCorn on the Cob.

Next stop was lunch @ajrwdwgirl They have now put a Wildberries downtown next to Millennium park! So when you and the hubs stay downtown you can have breakfast there.

Then onto the park. I never tire of the bean

Sounds like a fun and yummy day! I did like Wildberries, I remember the coffee was good there too.

That happened to me with ds delivery. Then they tried 6 more times with the huge plastic IV needle. Finally they got an anesthesiologist to come and do it. He used a butterfly and all was good.

It is just all too common. How can there be so many that are that bad at it. They brought a needle queen in to do it finally but the damage was done.

We had our propane tank for our fireplace refilled yesterday, so I am looking forward to turning it on this morning. Had my Mickey fleece pants and a sweatshirt on last night. But right now my toes are cold, and my nose is cold.

I can't wrap my brain around this. Propane for a fireplace? How does that even work? Is the Propane in the house?

 

[Gabe1]

Absolutely not. I am very against it. I think it is inhumane and should be illegal. And the vet I saw is of the same opinion; she won't even perform the procedure. Hence why I am going back to her. She's clearly someone who cares more about the welfare of the animal than how much money she can make off a procedure.

I don't grasp this either. I have never owned a cat so there is that. I watched my MIL cat frequently when they were out of town as my Pup and her Cat had this odd love hate relationship. Her cat was declawed later in life or it wasn't going to have a life as she shredded furniture drapes and rugs. Sh did have a weird week but after that she was her normal self. I get the idea there is some bad things about all that...just not sure 'cause Scooter Kitty adapted very well. Someone educate me.

 

[Gabe1]

Hubby likes our house at 72 in summer. That's when I freeze. During the winter the same temp. so I freeze then too. I've been known to put a blanket in the dryer for about 10 minutes and wrap around me.

Your Hubs is like me kind of. I have a comfort level in the house, doesn't matter if it is summer or winter.

Better than MGM

Understatement of the week. The Studio well it is just nasty now.
