Right now, I am sitting in the very spacious master suite of a lovely resort in Orlando, Florida. Why, you may ask? Simply because my parents had the foresight to buy the last week of the year several years ago, and then got a dog, so they no longer use the thing. But rather than sell it, they hold it for us kids to use as we wish. And we definitely wish to enjoy it this year! ☺️ My parents decided to get my entire family, all five of us, passes to Universal Studios, Florida!!! And not cheapy-cheap passes either! They got us year-round passes with free parking and no black-out dates! From parents who are constantly complaining about having no money, this was definitely a surprise, too! So once the husband goes back to his home on Monday night/ Tuesday morning (he has to work on Tuesday, 😕) we will be heading to the park to see all the wonderful sites. I'm hoping there's not a huge line at "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter", because the kids all want to go there! Of course I'll take pictures, and hopefully I'll even remember to upload them, too! ☺️ But regardless, this is a week for family fun, to forget about all the troubles we have to deal with on a daily basis, and to just enjoy being US.
I'm really hoping that we have a great time, and not a stupid, boring, mediocre time, which would really stink, but if my older sister has her way, that is EXACTLY what is going to happen. She is here too, of course, and she ALWAYS tries to take over EVERYTHING, especially where my kids are involved! But I have a plan! It's called "let her walk ahead of us and go one way, them we take off in the opposite direction!" lol Seriously, I love my sister, I really do, but she is SOOO controlling! You've no idea, unless you happen to have an older sister like mine. Then you know all too well! :)
And so that's all for now! With the hubs here I don't have to cook a single thing until Tuesday, so I am going to enjoy my wine, my chocolates (gotta love half-off Christmas candy sales! lol), and relative silence, huh? And who knows, maybe I'll start feeling ambitious and post a recipe or two once I start cooking again. ☺️
