Meet Me on Monday #59

Sunday, November 27th, 2011 | Personal with 4 Comments

I found this meme on another blog and tracked it back to the originator. There are some interesting questions and a great way to know me a little more. You can check it out at Meet Me on Monday Meme. Here goes…

1. I really need to clean my _________?
Yard. I meant to mow both lawns today as I always do my neighbors because she can’t as she has MS but by the time I was really motivated to do it the Eagles were getting to start. I still should have done the yards as bad as they played after the 1st quarter.

2. What food makes you think of Christmas?
This might be odd but pumpkin pie.

3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?
Hmm, I already look anywhere from 5-10 years less than what I am now. Would I have to actually live that time period as well? If not then I’d choose my late 20s some time.

4. What was your first paying job?
Taco Hell. I worked my way up to management before I even graduated high school.

5. Have you read the Twilight series?
Why yes, yes I have. It was a fluke really because I didn’t have any more books to read and one of my friends said here you would like this and gave me the series and I was hooked just like the Harry Potter books.

1. I wish I had more time to _________?
Honestly, I’m not sure what I’d do with more time. I just got back from a vacation in Orlando and am back to work now. Maybe an extra day to recoup from vacation?

2. What is your favorite kind of soup?
I don’t particularly like soup because there is not enough stuff in it. I don’t like drinking broth. I will make my own version of chicken noodle and minestrone though with just a smidge of liquid. I like having something to munch on.

3. Where will you eat Thanksgiving dinner?
I will be at home with the dogs as per usual probably with a grilled cheese sandwich and my homework, tons of homework.

4. What is your favorite time of day?
Evening

5. Did you start Christmas shopping yet?
Heck no, last minute shopper right here and they are mainly gift cards.

Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf

Saturday, November 19th, 2011 | Personal with 2 Comments

Today’s the last day here in Florida and we watched a horrible movie (Paranormal Activity 3) but first we played 18 holes of putt putt. We were ahead of a couple of 6-year-old’s who kept playing when we were on the green. It was driving me crazy because the adult with them wasn’t able to rein them in apparently. For dinner we hit up Dave and Busters and played Wheel of Fortune game and got a boat load of game tickets.

Here are a few picks of the putt putt course. We played the course that had the highest peak above the water falls which were cool looking.

Universal Florida Adventure Island

This is where I went today. I roamed through Hogwarts and Hogsmeade (completely forgot to get pictures of these). Road a couple great rides. Traveled through the Marvel section and got to see Captain America, Wolverine, Storm, etc (yes they were fake ones – not like the stars are going to be there everyday). Got a little wet on a couple of the rides. The day looked a bit ominous as it was raining when we first got there but cleared up pretty quick.

Took a tour at Poseidon’s Fury. Here are a few interesting photos from that section.

I found this meme on another blog and tracked it back to the originator. There are some interesting questions and a great way to know me a little more. You can check it out at Meet Me on Monday Meme. Here goes…

1. Does your family/friends know about your blog?
A couple people know about this one and my secret one. I don’t go blathering about it though.

2. What is your favorite card game?
Spider solitaire. It just grinds on my nerves when I check the statistics and I’m not winning more than I’m losing and I’m only playing with 2 decks. The single deck was too easy.

3. What do you wear to bed?
Well, at one point it was nothing until a water bug crawled up my leg while I was in bed which freaked me out so now I wear pajamas (ie tshirt and capris).

4. What is your favorite kind of French Fry?
Thin, crispy ones with a lot of salt.

5. What is your usual bed time?
I usually will get into bed around 11 PM with the TV on and then will cut that off around midnight and then when do I actually fall asleep? Anybodies guess really because I’ve never been able to sleep nights.
