Do you know what was on the ribs? I find that I sometimes react to additives in food. I'm always surprised when I read the ingredients on spice jars what is in some of them.
Actually - no I don't. I rarely purchase meat that is seasoned - however - this time I did. I didn't even think of the seasoning...
Thanks for the added idea - it's entirely possible.
I do love those nails also...awesome that you had them done again. I very rarely do my nails...and always myself...but I may have to do them for this upcoming trip also.
Sorry about the headaches...I'm sure that must suck especially when you can't figure out what is causing them.
I kinda thought the same thing about V and the Poly...that you were just saying she regretted it because she was more tired that night. I hadn't even considered that there might be MORE to the story. I'm sure lack of sleep can really get to you for days though.
I'm planning our trip with lots of chances for breaks for everybody, if they want to take advantage of them. We'll see how that goes.
Thanks! Even yesterday - I had 3 different people stop me to ask me about them. LOL I guess everyone loves a little disney or dots in their life!
Yes - I used to get headaches all the time, and when I cut out the junk and processed foods - my headaches dropped dramatically - now I can usually always find the culprit quickly... It's just happening more and more frequently lately...
Yes - and we all know that V's sleep is VERY important... I think she is STILL trying to catch up from our trip?
Good - breaks are so important! We had a LOT of them!
i was going to say the same it might not be the actual pork but whats on the pork!
Pork = Bacon
Bacon is life.
True - I didn't even think of the seasonings... These were pre-seasoned, something I don't normally buy - so it's entirely possible that this could be what it is.
Yaaaaaas!!!! I agree!
How great that you are keeping your Disney nails for a little longer.
It's a good idea to write down each time you eat pork if you get a headache or not. Can it be some of the spices you used with the pork that you have a reaction to?
Sounds like the eating challenge you're doing on Facebook is a good idea for you to follow. I hope you guys keep it going there for a while
Today I went to the garage to get them to take a look at my car. There were 3 things I wanted them to take a look at. i expected them to just take a look and give me an appointment so they could get it all done. To my surprise my contact person from NAV was at the garage as well. So we talked a little about the car as well. The back door looked liked was a quick fixed. They adjusted a spring that looked liked was causing the trouble and then we tried the back door and it worked fine. They also told me to get some silicone on the door and some oil to get it to function as it should. The weather change under and over freezing point can cause the door to need silicon several times during winter because the rubber around the door react to the change in temperature.
I also told them that the pedals aren't like I want them to be and the board on the floor that makes the floor a little higher is 1 inch too short so now my foot slips off the board all the time when I'm driving. They have to think about how they are going to solve that problem. So I got an appointment on Tuesday morning to get that fixed. I also complained that the angle of the pedals are not right because I have to lift my ankle very much to get my foot on the pedal. They tried to adjust it while I was there today. I have to drive some more and see if the adjustment is enough.
Yes - I am so excited to have my Disney nails for a bit longer!
And I will definitely be writing down my headaches - maybe I can figure out the problem - I am starting to think it could have been the seasoning on them though, as I'd purchased them already seasoned in the store - and who knows what they actually put on them?
The eating challenge is going very well - today is Day 6, and it's very helpful at the moment to keep me accountable - which is just what I needed.
Hopefully they are able to get all of the adjustments done on your car easily and it works better for you after! Good luck!
Hey there D! I thought you said you were going to go slower on your TR
I was so behind! Work and other stuff has kept me busy lately.
Love the decision to re-do the Disney nails; no rules on keeping a little Disney in our lives to keep the smiles going.
I loved your Pinocchio shirt. That is so awesome. I can't ever seem to find adult Disney T-shirts that aren't too cutesy.
I absolutely love Epcot. Where else in the world is there a place like the World Showcase? The gardens by Canada are so beautiful. Interesting about Soarin'; there seem to be mixed reviews. I wish they had never changed TT; the old one was way better. We really enjoyed Sunshine Seasons at lunch time when we were there a few years ago. Good, healthy selection.
I wonder why some Starbucks, like at SoG and some of the Target Starbucks do not take GC's. The airport Starbucks do. I wonder what the rules are. I couldn't survive work without some Starbucks. I broke my cup, full of coffee, this morning. I am going to go Starbucks at lunch; not enough coffee. One of those mornings. And yesterday I locked my keys in the car.
Love your new Vans. Shane is the Vans wearer in the family. He has maroon and red; and wants black now. He always has to order a 1/2 size up.
Glad Allison and Shane got to vote for the first time; even though it wasn't the best election to vote in. At least we are teaching them the importance of voting, even for county issues. Not enough young people take the time to research and vote.
Sounds like you and Josh are having some fun dates. Love your Christmas gift to each other. That will be so much fun!
Keep those updates coming! So enjoying them and seeing those beautiful smiles on you both.
Going to go pretend to work; I need coffee.
Love and hugs.
Hi Carol!!!
I am going slower! LOL The last 2 TRs, I've done 2-3 updates per day... This one, I am only doing 2-3 per week. LOL
I agree - I think I may try to do my Disney nails a bit more often... Although the next ones I do will be Christmas.
Thanks - I really loved the Pinocchio shirt too - more so for the cut of it than anything... It's a super flattering cut on me, and it covers my rear in leggings - a HUGE bonus for all of you!
Very true - there is no where in the world like Epcot... It is a cool park - and it's only my 3rd favorite because there are 2 more out there that I like better. LOL
I do know that the Starbucks in SoG isn't really a Starbucks - they serve Starbucks coffee, and have the basic Starbucks menu (no seasonal drinks) - and they are not called "Starbucks" they are called the Java Cafe... I am not sure why they just didn't call them Starbucks? I never asked if they take Starbucks GCs, I just assumed they didn't. I also know, all of the Starbucks here in MN that are within a Target store DO take the Starbucks (and Target) GCs - on top of that, I can use my TM discount when I pay with a Starbucks GC.... So, you should be able to do that at your Starbucks within your Target stores - as they should all be on the same system.
I hope you were able to get some much needed coffee yesterday!
Bummer about your mug - I would be so sad!
Thanks!!! I feel ya Shane - I want a pair of plain black ones next... They also have Donald Duck blue, which I also hope to get before my next trip.
Yes - I am so glad they were both able to vote - even if it was a difficult election.
We are having a lot of fun spending time together - it's been very good for us.
We are both looking forward to doing more!
Thanks! I hope you had a great day and a good weekend!
I am following along and just got all caught up! I have our second stay at SoG coming up, first was in May. I never used any of the transportation since I have a heavy stroller which I LOVE for everything BUT folding up lol, so I always just walked to the Poly or TTC (or drove my car to AK & DHS). Anyway, are the SoG buses similar to Disney ones? Did you have to wait long?
My room was on the 3rd floor right above where you were, I loved the location and the space!
Yay!!! Isn't SoG just the best hidden gem out there??? I love it!
Yes - the SoG buses are almost exactly like the Disney ones, as far as set up and looks... They are just pained with the SoG logo. You would have to look at the bus schedule when you check in - as they do put out a monthly bus schedule. It seems that most people have a huge like/dislike for the scheduled buses. For me - I like them... I usually take a picture of the schedule at the beginning of the trip - so I can look at it while we are in the parks... That way - if I am at the back of AK, and I know that the bus will be there in 30 minutes - I should probably not waste any time getting to the bus stop. As they do leave on time, every time. Many times - the bus pick up and drop off is much better located than even the Disney buses - and that is so nice!
I agree- that is just a really great location! If I were to ever stay there with both of the girls though - I would NEED one of the rooms with the other bathroom configuration.
I don't think we would all come out alive otherwise. LOL
I love your bracelets. Are they adjustable? Are they heavy? Can you only purchase them at DW?
Thank you! I love them too - they have been so much fun to add to. They are slightly adjustable... They kind of click open, so you can get them on... Their closed position is a loose bangle - so they do slide around, but they are not big enough to slide over your hand. You can purchase them at alexandani.com or there are special Disney versions that you can only get at Disney or on the
Shop Disney app... There is also a plain Alex and Ani store in Disney Springs, which sells the full inventory of the regular AnA store plus the Disney versions.
On this trip - I finally discovered the wraps... I've been collecting the bangles all of this time... And I admit - I cannot wear them around the house or while I am working - they just slide around too much - and I would hate to have a catastrophe while I am sewing because one of them gets caught or something. The wraps are typically beaded, and they fit much tighter on my wrist - I like that much better. I find, now that I am home - I wear all of my wraps every day with just a few of my bangles... I like that look a lot.
I"ll be showing more pictures as the TR progresses, as I found several on this trip that I love!
im glad you kept your Disney nails. I think it's awesome to keep the things you love in your everyday life. I wear my Disney tshirts on just about all my off days. My friend laughed bc in a picture from my son's birthday my husband and I both had on Disney shirts and she thought we did it on purpose. Nope. We just both wear a lot of Disney. I keep a Disney keychain on both sets of car keys. I just enjoy the everyday reminders of my happy place. I'd like the bracelets if I were that kind of person. The only thing I can stand on my wrists is hairbands.
Silly question about the pizza. The Quattro formaggio. Is there any sauce on that? Because it looks absolutely delicious but I'm weird about Italian sauces.
I'm laughing over V and the Poly-non situation. I thought maybe in her wandering she had found a new favorite resort (don't we all wish!)or next go round had gotten massively lost. But I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
Thanks! I love having them at home too... I am just not sure I want them all of the time? As they are sort-of a special thing, and I want them to stay that way.
I don't wear my Disney shirts all of the time... For some reason - I prefer my Disney love to be more subtle... I wear a LOT of dots... Several scarves with hidden/not so hidden Mickeys. The only time I really wear my Tees is in the summer with shorts or in the winter with sweats...
But I will admit - I do freak out a little when I see people out wearing Disney stuff... I always think that those people are kindred spirits!
If I remember correctly - it had a white sauce. There definitely wasn't a red sauce on there... So, it was either white or none.
But pretty sure it was white. LOL
Thanks - I agree - well she DOES love the Poly... LOL I just don't ever foresee me being able to afford to stay there. It's just too much - when I can stay at SoG for so much less and spend a TON of time at the Poly.
We are so close - it's almost as if we are staying there too.
******************************************************************************************************
I had a pretty nice day yesterday... I did my heavy lifting right away, as usual. My eating was right on track all day - which is great!
I worked for a while in the morning, and I was able to make good progress on this week's order.
Then I got ready for my appointment... Went to that... Stopped at Michael's to shop a little... I've been purchasing a few small holiday decor items - trying not to buy too much as I have TON in the basement from the 70% and 90% sales last year, and I don't quite remember all that I have... I am really getting in the mood to start my Christmas decorating, but trying to refrain until after Thanksgiving weekend. It's really hard, because many people in my decor groups on FB have their houses fully decorated for Christmas, and they just look so lovely. GAH!!! Must wait!!! LOL
I did stop at Starbucks yesterday... Rather than obliterate it out of my life totally - I've settled on a compromise of every-other-day, for now. LOL I am just too addicted, and must wean myself slowly. LOL
I wore my new boots out... Those were tough - my feet are NOT used to wearing heels, but I thought they were super cute! They made me feel very put together.
When I got home, we discovered that our hockey jerseys had been delivered... I truly debated on whether to get a medium or a large - I ordered a large, as that is typically what I wear in men's tees... I think I could have gotten away with a medium easily - and maybe even a small - these things are HUGE! We are excited to have our Aces gear now! However - I am a bit miffed that I had to pay $23 to ship, when the label clearly says they paid $6.45... I don't mind a bit extra to pay for handling and supplies, but I do think that $16+ is a bit excessive.
Otherwise we relaxed for the remainder of the night.
Josh is off of work for Veteran's day... So - thank you to all of you who have served, families included - as the family left behind serves too. I am always painfully reminded of this, at this time of year, as this is the same time of year that Josh left us 12 years ago... I remember the weeks prior to and after he left as some of the darkest in my life... Every moment was a moment of sheer dread and panic for 16 months... A person and a family never truly gets over that. To this day, my girls and I still deal with some of the residual from those days, weeks, months - and we will forever carry that within us - Just as Josh will carry his experience with him. So, this day, for many, while it's a day to honor those who served - it's also a day I remember what once was and the dreams that once were... It's a day to grieve for a life that we never got the chance to live. Saying "Happy Veteran's Day" really seems wrong - as there really is nothing happy about it. However - it is a day filled with pride for those who were brave enough to sacrifice for all of us - for that I am grateful.
So, I will be working out right away this morning. I was hoping to have time for an update today - but I think it will have to wait for tomorrow.
I am hoping to finish this week's custom order today.
I also have to go to town - as usual. LOL
I hope you all have a great weekend! Sending prayers and Pixie Dust out to all!
D~
. The reason why it got done so fast, I got a call from my daughter that she was coming home for a visit. Mind you all my furniture etc... was in her room and the spare bedroom. I slept in my daughter's room in the middle of everything. I felt like a hoarder. I still have more to do in the room, but everything is back into place. Once I can figure out how to get the photo to upload I will be happy to share.
You should see our shoe closet - to top it off - V and I wear the same size and we are known to share shoes a lot... I especially like her Birks. LOL
. The next one I bought was a Kids XL. Way better
