Yay, Tink sighting too. May you and your family have a great holiday season. Merry Christmas too.

Baking done, chocolate chip, ginger bread men, peanut butter, holiday nuggets, oatmeal and raisin, sugar cookies and cut out cookies that we made big stars and snowflakes, and Christmas trees. Now onto the chocolate making after lunch that the kids went out to get. All before are boxed, ready to sort and make into gifts to give away.

Hey all! First day I’ve felt well enough to sled by since the trip.

Lovely, other than getting the flu the 2nd day of cruise. Worst one I’ve ever had, shared it with the mr on the Saturday we arrived home. That 1st week at home was a blur, I slept 20 hours a day. Turns out had the the specific flu bug that wasn’t covered by jab (not that I got it anyway, did get covid, just ran out of time before the trip).

Was in and out of hospital for treatment, turns out I also picked up a virus that caused it’s own set off issues (as in somebody sliced me in half sort of pain). Much better now, still dragging and hacking away despite the Tami flu & other goodies. Told in a few months I’ll be back to my old self and everything should regenerate (Dr Who anyone? lol). How about a new self?

But last week day payday Friday for me. Have enjoyed this week to decompress from moving before the crack of dawn.

Woohoo, enjoy!!!

I got my free birthday burger at Red Robin and then B and I went to the mall

A very happy birthday to you Charade! Are you going to cook Christmas dinner since the host is under the weather?

So much generic stuff, and almost all the holiday stuff we did

True. We did pick up the truck popcorn bucket, very cute. Will join the Xmas decorations

sounds like Tink and Lynn are all set for Christmas!

How about you? I’m in heavily modified mode. Will be doing Xmas Eve & Xmas, abbreviated as much as I can as I’m still so easily fatigued.

Some pics of the trip, which was super, despite getting slammed.

Our resort this trip AKVJ

Despite barely getting to airport arrival day due to storm and flight delay, we did get there in time to do our Glimmering Greenhouse tour, very cool.


View from our balcony. Tons of animals, also at AK on the Safari, the cool air brought them out in droves and they were active. Need to look for the lion pic i have

We got the cool seats @ Beak & Barrell by the fireplace this time, Arrrgh


MVMCP, Mr couldn’t miss Scrooge


Jollywood Nights, it rained and rained some more. Basically, did the two indoor shows and happy I had booked the Brown Derby Jazz thing. Will say, ridiculously overpriced for food. Server suggested I order a dish with caviar. Um, I believe there were 5 & smallest I’ve seen.


Tree @ AKVJ, reminiscent of the WL one, which I think is best onsite


Our ‘suite’ on the ship. Trade off in larger size cabin for ahem obstructed ocean view

Did manage to crawl off ship to CoCo cay, of course among the 1st on the beach . Skies did clear up mid morning. Was nice to sleep on the beach.

Quick post before bed. I have to get up early tomorrow and take Caspian for a nail trim.

Hello to KFish and Tink.
Keisha, I have been wondering where you were. So sorry you got sick on vacation and glad you are feeling better now.
I have no plans to cook for Christmas. We are going to Red Lobster and then to see the second Wicked movie.

Today I made airport transportation reservations. Now I just have to wait and see what the weather will be like so I know what to pack.

Good night all.

Ah, was all divided and ate a few, and was done by 7 pm last night. Older one is going to drop off his gifts today, the others we will give to our neighbors today or tomorrow. It’s so cool outside, we just leave the gifts in the cars.

It’s lightly snowing now, with sleet arriving in the next hour. We heard the salt trucks very early this morning, but the traffic sounds normal for a week day since I woke up in the predawn hours. So clearly, the snow and coming sleet is not an issue with driving so far.

But with it 33 degrees right now, and 32 in the overnight hours low temp, hence as cool as a refrigerator, so will keep all gifts fresh. And my weather app says it feels like 28 out. A little brr from me, but glad I am that lady of leisure today, as no need for me to be out in that predawn hours, given that feel like temp at this hour. But do have a pick up to do, and a little shopping, as a few things little one says she is looking for. Hence, we will leave around lunchtime, as no need to be so early now.

Ack Keisha, no fun at all getting sick, glad you are feeling better, and had a nice trip and cruise too. Thanks for posting the pictures. We had warm weather when we were there, and I love the decor and fun to be had during the holidays there. We had dry nights, the nights we did both jolly and party nights too. Have to say, we lucked out after leaving the party around midnight, to announcements that the monorails were down. No matter, we were staying at BLT, and so, was a 10 minute walk back to our room, unlike some very unhappy people in the masses that had to go to the boats or buses to get back to where they were staying. We did like the one bedroom we were in, and we were on the 5th floor, so was nice to walk to the monorail station without having to use the elevator. As such, hope you do have a very merry Christmas and a much healthier new year. Thus, sending good holiday thoughts and mummy dust well wishes your way. And yay, for picking up that popcorn truck that was available this year, it is cute.

Ooh older one is up. Think he has an errand and drop off to do. Grumbled if we bought back some of the dark chocolate marshmallows we did. Of course, I said. And had gave him some of the cookies to eat last night.

Taco Tuesday it is today, and two days before that much more quiet morning on Thursday, Christmas Day. And a day before, where tomorrow, my neighborhood has tea lights in a bag that line the streets that night. So pretty if it’s supposed to be dry, as predicted, see as predicted, tomorrow is to be a full day of sun, and 43 the high. Hence, that snow, sleet and rain to fall today, 0.1 inches to be fallen today, will be a memory by early morning tomorrow. Lucky camel will have his shades on. And will be a nice night to drive around the neighborhood to enjoy the path of lights, tomorrow night.

But hey, it is the day of the week, we say, eat at Taco Bell, or just have that hand held food we all can enjoy, a taco. Yep. Taco Tuesday it is.

Eh, if older one is in the mood, we may have Taco Bell for lunch today. If not and I am out with little one, Taco Bell will not be the choice of fast food we may pick up for lunch while we are out and about. She, is absolutely no fan of that fast food taco place, but older one and I enjoy the food there. And as the closest one of that taco fast food place, is not that close to us, it’s only a once in a good while stop at Taco Bell. Thus, hope other homies enjoy a taco or two today, as it most likely won’t be us.

Good morning homies, and I hope today, it finds all enjoying this holiday season. And a what? The end of the year is next week.

But yay, that family fun gift time is this week.

With that, the shower is calling me, and will see if little one is arose yet.

Bye.
