Great start! I love the day before too
Thanks!!!
Very fun first day! The school is beautiful
Thanks! The girls are very lucky to have such a nice school.
Sounds like you had a good day yesterday.
Great start on your trip report
How great that some sewing friends could help out making V another shirt.
I haven't been driving my old car my self for a few weeks now. But this weekend I will only drive my old car since Ulf is away on Tai Chi. I drove Ulf to the airport. It was so weird sitting so low to the ground and so close to the steering wheel. But beside that it was no problem driving a non automatic car and it was so much easier not having to always think about how much space I need on the road when driving my new car.
THanks! Glad to hear that your new car is going so well that the old one is a bit strange to drive now.
How can it take an hour and forty five minutes to fly to Midway? Great seat position by the way.
I've had trouble getting birthday presents in time for my son's birthday, which is before Christmas because the vendors assume that you want the item for Christmas. Is that what happened with the Halloween shirt? Lucky for V that you found a solution. The shirt looks great.
It didn't take that long - Well, maybe it did - I'll have to look at my notes... If it did - it was because the majority of our flight time was spent circling Chicago waiting to land. Usually - it's only an hour flight.
I don't think that's the case this time... I think the seller may have their shop open and either isn't monitoring it - or scamming. Regardless - I started a dispute with Paypal on Tuesday, and I have yet to hear anything from the seller... I will escalate in a few days and hopefully get my $$ back. I always try to support the "little guy: - however, it's sometimes a little risky... Thankfully with Paypal, I am protected.
YEAH!!! Love the shirt!!
Thanks! She loves it too - she received a lot of compliments on it.
I'm in! I NEED that Donald Duck bag in your first pick. AMAZING!!!!!
I am a Shades of Green frequent stayer... LOL. Be there again in May. And, then off to Universal. So, I am so interested in reading your adventures! <3
Thanks - it's one of my favorite bags!
Love, love, love Shades of Green! It's such a great resort! You will likely enjoy reading my TR then, as we also did Universal. Welcome!
Love the nails, love the shirt!
Thanks! I was super happy with my nails this time! And V was super happy with the shirt!
So glad to see the start of the trip D! Starbucks and a manicure, nothing better. I loved both of your nails.
That shirt is too perfect for V! So nice of friends to step in. I have noticed certain sites are now really taking a long time to ship unless you choose their very expensive overnight or 2 day.
You had some really good flight times to Florida. Well done!
Can't wait to see the first day at SOG and elsewhere!
Sending a huge hug!
Hahaha... Yes - you know me well... My two favorite things - besides Disney, of course - Starbucks and a manicure! Life is good.
Well - I am not sure, however, I do think that 1 month is ridiculously long to wait to ship something... I am just glad that I've already started my dispute through Paypal.
I was super happy with our flight times... Especially for our arrival... Coming home was a bit late, however it wasn't terrible.
I am excited to share it! Sending hugs back!
Popping in to say, you can boil sweet potatoes the same way. Wash whole unpeeled sweet potatoes, cover with water in a pot, and boil until tender. Let them cool until you can handle, and they slide right out of the peel! I never buy the canned ones anymore for casseroles, pies, etc.
Interesting! Until I did this method - I really hated prepping sweet potatoes... I will be trying this for Thanksgiving! Thank you! I haven't purchased canned ones in years for TG - however - I really hate prepping them, so this should make it so much easier.
The luggage weighing ALWAYS gets me into trouble!! My husband and I are always stuffing stuff in each other's bag to get our own bag lighter. We fly Delta so we try our best to make do with only 1 checked bag apiece since they charge for EVERY bag except a carry on.
Hahahaha!!! I think I am a SW flyer for life now - it was so nice to not have baggage fees and to be able to bring normal amounts of luggage. Well, sorta normal... Hehehehe...
I'm here just in time.
Yay!!! Welcome!
Love your trip nails!
Thanks! I was so happy with how they turned out!
Great day before your trip, it is always an exciting day, I love being off work and finishing the last minute things. Love the shirt and your nails look great.
I know - it's one of my favorite days! Thank you!

I've really been enjoying this week off of custom orders... although - I am finding it strange to be so idle. LOL
Yesterday, I did my heavy lifting and I had a good breakfast.
I did a nice update here - which is good, right? LOL
I cleaned my sewing room - so when I go back to work next week, I am not greeted with a mess... I had every intention of doing that before we left on our trip, however, I just never got in there.
Then I got ready - went to town... Grabbed V, took her to her appt, then took her straight to work... Days like that are always hectic for me.
Josh and I went out to dinner last night - that was not my plan, as I have been doing really well with my eating... However, Josh was not in the mood for left-over curry chicken or left-over meatloaf... Sigh. So, we went to this little diner... It was so funny - he ordered this pretzel to snack on before our food came - and I laughed so hard, because when they brought it out - it was bigger than he was. The picture on the menu was so deceiving - as it just looked like a normal sized pretzel.
We came home and hung out until it was time to grab V from work... We watched a bit of the World Series, and eventually, I fell asleep in my recliner.
Today - I have no plans, really I don't. I'll do an update here and I think that's about it? I think I may reorganize my front porch - if you read my PTR - I had to bring all of my plants into the house right before we left on our trip - and when I put them back outside - I just kind of threw them out there in a hurry - and that's where they've been since. So, I want to make it look a little pretty again.
I also may work on a pair of PJ pants for Thomas for Christmas.
And that's about it.
I hope you all have a great weekend! Sending prayers and pixie dust out to all of you!
