Cute shoes. They'll look good with your bag.
EPCOT is my favorite park. I could spend almost everyday there. I like the new Soar'n. I did jump when the whale came out of the water. V looks like she's having a great time. She's such a talented artist.
Our weather hasn't been as warm as yours. Wednesday it was warm enough for me to mow the front yard. The grass was getting to be higher than the lawn of the empty house next door.
We got our schedules for Thanksgiving and I got the early shift which is nice but I'll miss all the craziness later on. The good thing is I'll be able to shop able work if I want to. Although, I wish we were still closed until later on that day or all day long.
Today I'm hoping to start piecing my quilt unless I find something more interesting to do.
Have a good day.
Liz
Thanks! I am pretty excited about them!
Epcot isn't my favorite park - I love it, though I can't say it's my favorite... Besides MK - I think AK is my favorite! Epcot is V's favorite though - and I know she wishes we could have spent more time here.
It's still nice out - but not as warm as it was... Winter is coming - there's no doubt.
Target is holding our hours close to their chest - we still don't know anything... This is one thing I dislike about them - it's so hard to plan when they are so secretive... Just tell us - so we know how to plan this holiday with our families. The BF schedule is supposed to be out tomorrow - supposedly - hopefully it is.
I hope you had a great day and made progress on your quilting!
Same to you!
Love the cute, matching shoes! Now you have a reason to plan another Halloween trip (like anyone needs a reason!).
I know the trading post booth. I didn't know you could make your own bracelet--I'm guessing you pick out the beads? I first thought that she actually made the bracelet using the map! That's where I was confused.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I know - right? LOL I am hoping to go back next year - we really need to see how finances come together, as I still have V's airfare to Europe to pay for, her grad party and then Josh and I's trip to Europe the following summer... I am hoping to squeeze a trip in there - if not - it will be for Halloween of 2018.
Yes - you can pick out your own beads and they will make it for you while you wait... We didn't want to wait, so we were going to have it shipped back to our resort - however - by the time we had it all paid for and the forms filled out - she was done with V's bracelet, so we were able to take it with us.
Thanks - same to you!
It's wise to take advantage of the nice weather and go for a power walk. Soon enough the weather force you to exercise inside.
It's wise of you to hold on to your $70 gift card until you find something you really want.
Pork ribs sounds delicious.
The shoes you found looks great. I can understand why you are super excited about them.
Today Ulf and I decided to take the car and do some geocaching on an island a 30 minutes drive from Tromsø. We don't have much daylight now a days so after lunch we got out of the door as soon as possible. The sun goes down at 2.16PM. It was nice weather outside no snow, but 28.4ºF. So we took a lot of clothes on and started on our trip. It's good to drive the car for a longer distance. It's easier to learn how much space the car needs on the road when driving a longer distance. We had a nice trip.
Yes - I did - it was a great walk!
That's what I was thinking. LOL When I find whatever it is, I'll know.
They were... We still have leftovers of them to eat.
I am so excited about them - I cannot wait to start wearing them and break them in... I don't plan on wearing them often though - as I want them to look nice for Disney... When ever that may be. LOL
Yay!!! Glad you were able to get out for a long drive and get used to your new car some more... I feel your pain - however - it's not quite as bad here... We are dark by 5:30pm... It sure makes it easier to go to bed earlier - and I've been sleeping like a baby for the last few nights & finding it hard to wake up - which is quite unusual for me. LOL
I love the pictures she really did an amazing job!
Love Epcot! Sorry you weren't that impressed with the new soarin yet i cannot wait to try it myself! LOL
Glad the pizza connoisseur approved! LOL we had met some people who knew Hegewisch. which freaked me out a little. No one knows how to say it let alone know where it is.
YOU are turning into the van hoarder!!! LOL! you go girl! they sure don't make your feet look fat
Thanks! I am quite proud of her talents!
It's not that I wasn't all that impressed with it - I enjoyed it very much - I just wish they would have spent a little more time at each location, as it's fun to see those things so big and from those angles.
I would have much rather had them visit fewer locations and spend more time at each one, for the sake of keeping the movie with in their time limit.
Yes! The pizza was delicious - I was really nervous about getting her approval.
Hahaha... I don't know how to say it... It probably has a slight MN accent coming from me... I'd pronounce it heg-a-wish.
Hahaha - I have 2 pairs... I really want to get a plain black pair, and maybe a plain red pair... Oh and maybe a plain blue pair to go with my Donald stuff.
OK - maybe a little bit of hoarding going on... That's why I like them - they don't make my feet look long and they don't make them look fat. LOL
Ooooh, more new shoes!!!!! Oops--skipped to the end of things there, didn't I? But, I mean, c'mon!! Shoes are a priority They are totally cute! I'd really like to get a pair of the Toy Story ones, but haven't ventured to the Vans store yet. Maybe this weekend.
I was excited to read about Via Napoli. We'll be eating there on our trip, too, and I bet I'll be taking your menu advice. Both your appetizer and pizza choices sound AMAZING!!
I can't wait to experience the new Soarin' -- I bet I will be missing those orange groves, too. Is the soundtrack still the same? I really love that music.
I know - I just love shoes so much!!! I think I may have a problem? I really love the Toy Story ones - sadly all of the TS ones are sold out everywhere right now - I am told they will get restocked, but I am not so sure. I like many of them, and I have no idea which ones I would get if I could choose? I hope you are able to find them!
Yes - I would order and suggest those items again to anyone... Even though the one arancini was cold - it was still delicious.
I can't remember if the soundtrack is the same... It's similar... I think? Gosh - I don't remember. LOL I did enjoy it a lot though, it was just different.
I've read many of your trip reports and just found this one. At least you're still on day two so I'm not too far behind.
Welcome!!! It's great to have you here and following along! Thanks for stopping by to say hello.
Yes - I am only on day 2, I suspect this TR will take me much longer to write, as I don't have the deadlines I had on the last 3. LOL So, get comfy... Grab some coffee.
HI D! Just popping in to let you know I am here and catching up. Last week was super busy with Halloween, the Marine Corps Ball, Family pictures and dr appointments on top of all that. I'm loving the TR so far & I'll pop back in when I've caught up completely.
Hi Brandi!
I know - you've been super busy! I saw the pictures from your Ball on FB... Beautiful and fun - I hope you had a great time! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to catch up.
LOL, Ok- so I wasn't as far behind as I thought. I just wanted to comment that I am so happy for Allison going for her passion. Even if she does decide to go for a traditional degree later on- she will have a skill to support herself as she goes to school. Although, if she decides to stay in the beauty industry, I know she will do very well. There are several people here who do both salon & photography. They offer packages where they will do hair and make-up before a photography session. It's very lucrative on the base since many American women are nervous about having their hair cut by someone who speaks a different language. Anyway, your Epcot day looks amazing. It seems so relaxing to have just the 2 of you and being able to stop in here & there where you want to. I can't wait to read more!
Hehehe... No, I didn't get many updates done this last week - I was busy too.
Allison is having a LOT of fun... She is truly enjoying school and loving every minute of it... And I love hearing about it - every day she comes home and it's like Christmas with the fun things she gets to do.
I do think she is hoping to combine her photography and cosmetology to some extent - It will be fun to see what she does with it!
I do know that she also wants to do the nail portion - it drives her crazy that it's difficult to find someone who speaks English here, and does nails... I will gladly be her test dummy for that part.
Epcot was a lot of fun... It was fun to wander around and look at everything. I wish we would have had more time to explore the other half of w/s - next time.
******************************************************************************************************
I've had a busy and nice few days....
I did end up going for that walk on Sunday - it was nice. However, my shins are now killing me - which is strange - I typically don't have that problem from walking. So, I am not sure what is up with that? I am glad I went though and was able to enjoy the weather.
We all had a very nice Sunday... Josh and I have been able to spend a lot of time as "just us" these last few weeks - and it's been good.
I also worked in my sewing room for a little bit on Sunday - enough so that I don't feel like I am too far behind going into this week.
Yesterday was a Target day - so I didn't have time to check in here. It was a decent day and it went fast.
Allison had school last night and V worked - so Josh and I had leftovers for dinner. I was sooo tired due to the time change - I barely made it until V got home from work...
Today - it's a heavy lifting day...
Then I will be working all day.
I have to go to town this afternoon... I've given up Starbucks for the week - so far, so good... I am really trying to get away from having it so often - it was getting to be a daily indulgence. The Baristas at our Target chuckled when I told them, as they know how much I do love it.... but I need to back off a bit. I have a target goal of 1 week, but I'd be thrilled with 2...
While I am in town - I will pick V up from school and then I have a hair appointment this afternoon. It's really soon, considering that we just came home from WDW 2 weeks ago... But it was either I snag this appointment for a root touch up, or I wait until Christmas... And there's no way I'd be able to make it that long. LOL
So - that's about all for me today, I am also hoping to sneak out a quick TR update this morning too... Or maybe later today? As I got a late start this morning.
I hope you all have a great day! Sending Prayers and Pixie dust out to all of you!
