Something About Nothing..........# 10

[Planogirl]

I just want to say that I'm so grateful for Universal. We have our usual combo trip planned for the week before Christmas and all of the change at that other place is wearing me out. I'm so excited and relieved to be visiting Universal. It feels more and more like a true escape.

Just got our tree up. Thanks Mac for the gift.

Just popping in to say hope all the homies in the US had an awesome Thanksgiving yesterday ...

yea, put the Santa where the cat can get to him..........


from what i could see, let me tell you that is a beautiful tree!



i have never had a tree up this early in my life.
but, it will be coming down soon after christmas.
i usually take it down on january 2nd but since i am leaving on the 3rd, down before nye.

Very sad this morning to hear of a Police Helicopter that crashed into the roof of a Glasgow pub last night.
I knew my niece goes out in Glasgow most weekends so was glad to contact her early this morning to find out she had been close by but had left Glasgow by the last train and had gone elsewhere thankfully.
I know the place well, it was a place I remember going in my youth, but horrible thing to happen. At the moment they are confirming one person dead but expect that to rise. Always something just before Christmas.


Sorry for the depressing start!!!


St Lawrence........how is your brother doing? Hope he is getting better by the day

Just done another day of the trippie for those reading along, think it`s day 12............it`s now 3.20pm, got the Christmas music on and it`s getting dark already. Just turned the tv over and HP1 is just starting.......will watch that as it`s my favourite of the Potter movies.

Christmas trees going up Wednesday..........usually the first Saturday in December is when we usually put them up but DH will be away, so Wed it is this year Ours come down on the 2nd too........although I adore everything Christmassy......I`m ready to get the house back to normal by then.

Having Chinese takeout tonight....yay no cooking!!

Hope everyone`s having a good weekend

Still no tree for us...we usually have a live one and it goes up around the 2nd week in December.

Doing Thanksgiving part deux today...turkey, dressing etc as we dined at my brother's house on the holiday and you can never get enough turkey day at least with my crew.

Have a great weekend everyone

schumi, just heard on the radio that an 8th person has died in that tragic incident.

this is really sad.

prayers for all.


back home from spending time with my parental unit.

it's dark outside and looks like winter is around the corner.

Yep, it's horrible.... I live in Fullarton Park just next to Tollcross and London Road, don't know if you lived near there before you moved or if you know where it is, but it is literally a ten minute drive away, and it's so scary to think that something like that could happen so close... you never think it will happen to your city And like you said schumi, so close to Christmas

 

[macraven]

i can't sleep...


who is up for a card game tonight?

 

[Micday]

Thanks for the warm welcome!!

We leave in 18 days for Orlando!!! I get to show my hubby seaworld, universal for the first time. It will feel like the first time for my daughter because I took her when she was so young (we went when there was only Studio's, no islands yet)

We just watch HP movies last night, you know you make your family watch them to much when they start saying the lines before the actors, haha

Just reread all the hunger games books, the newest movie is actually very much like the book, guess I just liked it played out on the big screen instead of in my head??

I'm a early riser and my other two not so much, makes for a nice vacation when I'm up at dawn ready to go! See, I'm very chatty

We bought a little cute fake tree to bring with us since we will be traveling during Christmas, my 14 yr daughter still hasn't decided if she's happy to be away from "home" during that time?

I'm trying to decide wither to surprise them with a day at Discovery Cove. I took her snorkeling in Belize and a tiny little fish touched her while we where in the shallows and she freaked. She has always wanted to "swim" with the dolphins. What do you think, she's four years older.....

If you had to choose between a day at Discovery Cove and the beluga whale thing at SeaWorld, which would you choose and why??

They Beluga whale cost almost as much as Discovery Cove (a have a SW pass).

Oh I agree....we love Turkey.....more of a Christmas day dish for us traditionally.........but any excuse will do for us.......hope you all enjoyed it Vicki

I know where you are KG.........don`t know that area well at all........I never lived in Glasgow but as 17/18 year olds we went up every 2nd or 3rd weekend to the "City" for Friday and Saturday nights out..........in the good old disco days. Glasgow was different in the mid 80`s....certainly not as cosmopolitan as it is now.....but great fun.
It`s just awful to see it on the news.


Another laundry day today........very boring.

Having a Christmas shopping morning tomorrow with my friend....get all the bits and bobs for DH that he doesn`t know about. She is a real lover of shopping.......I`m not.......I like to get into the shops I know I want something in......she wants to go in every shop she is good though with me as she knows I hate it so tries her best...lol

There`s always our lunch out to look forward to

i'm no help to you on that question but maybe someone else here is.

i haven't found anything about those two places to lure me to try them out yet.
i read the forum that is dedicated to dc and sw but it hasn't moved me yet to visit them.

but, Busch Gardens has been tempting me for many years.

woo hoo, only 17 more sleeps and you will be at the darkside.

I was born and raised in the Tampa area, we went to Bush Gardens a ton. Back in the day my mom's company would have their Christmas party there or Disney, after 6pm they would shut down and only her company was there. Boy that was nice!

I think you'd like bush gardens if you like animals, they have some great shows and some good rides. From reading your post you like to enjoy your surrounds and just "stop and smell the roses" I'd give it a go and see what you think....

 

[macraven]

i have been to BG before but it has been years ago.

there is a special luxury bus from the darkside onsite hotels i could take.
for $10 it covers round trip.

i just never get the time to lose a day in the parks to take in BG.
each year i tell myself, i will book a seat.
each year i don't for some reason.


ugh.

I always "plan" things for us and we never seem to have the time. I so understand.

I've been dying to see the HP but we keep going to Disney, shoot I've been to Disney twice this year and no Harry.

I'm not on these boards very often. There are many here that go to Universal much more often than I do. However, I just saw you guys like to talk about AHS. Subscribing!!

My family moved down to Florida (Sarasota area) from Connecticut when I was only 7 yrs old, I went through a part of elementary school, all of middle school and High School in Sarasota, plus many years after I got out of school, the Gulf coast of Florida I consider "home" more than Connecticut (I HATE that state! lol)

I remember going to Busch Gardens as a kid when they still had the brewery tour and everything, my Father was in the Pipefitters Union and they always had a huge Christmas Party at Busch Gardens after the normal closing hrs, it was awesome! Florida is such a cool state to grow up in, I loved it as a kid and still love it!

to the homie nhrenee........

so glad you are here.
thought i saw you on one of the older threads of something/nothing before.

gotta say, love the cat.


yea, there are some of us homies that are really into the AHS show.
Schumi gets the shows a few weeks after we do in the states.
i get a real kick out of Bates in the show.
