So I’m watching my 5 months old nephew while my sister’s on a business trip. It’s the first time she’s left him so while I was here yesterday she repeated my instructions over and over again. Then she called from her connection city. Surprisingly she didn’t call from her final destination. I guess she really does trust me.

And I can honestly say Logan is a great baby! So good natured, laid back, easy to take care of. I’m still really cold though.

The Celebration Hotel was wonderful and beautiful! I’ve been to Celebration many times before but never had I been in the hotel there. I LOVED it! It’s not a huge hotel and the atmosphere is very cozy and personal. The hotel has an old Florida theme which I just loved! The room was decorated in the same old Florida style as well. And I have to say that the staff were extremely friendly.

Around 5pm we were surprised with cheese & crackers and a bottle of wine, which Rob and I thoroughly enjoyed. Love cheese and wine. There was also a wedding reception taking place and we saw the groom having photos taken but never saw the bride. But we enjoyed the music.

There was also a family there that was doing the Disney thing. I can understand now why a family would want to stay in the Celebration Hotel for a week at Disney instead of one of the Disney resorts. Imagine a day full of Disney and then going back to a comfy, cozy hotel instead of the big resorts.

All this to say the Celebration Hotel is wonderful and we had a nice getaway.

YAY!!!

Last night we got a lot of kids from the neighborhood trick or treating. And while Halloween is not my favorite holiday I do love seeing the kids dressed up. Especially the young ones. This year I saw a lot of Spiderman and Disney Princesses (no surprise). Only 2 Hannah Montana’s.

This years unique costume goes to the female Puerto Rican boxer with a black eye. Wish I had a picture.

Last year Rob made his own pirate costume. This year I made my own princess costume. I already had one of the Disney crowns from when my nieces where here a few weeks ago and we went to a Pincess lunch at Disney. Even though my costume was home made (a bed sheet wrapped around me, scarf wrapped around my waste, play costume jewelry, lots of make-up) the young girls loved it! They said “hello princess” and the younger kids just stared up at my crown!

You know you don’t like cleaning bathrooms when you start using the other clean bathroom in the house.

Happy Anniversary to Rob and me!

how I’m feeling at the moment.

If only it was this way in Orlando! I still love the Fall, the weather has cooled off to a high of 80 degrees, but the leaves don’t change color, yet. We have opened the windows in the morning and evening but it’s still too hot to keep them open during the day. I did wake up this morning and wanted a hot cup of coffee, despite the lack of a chill in the air. It would have to be a cup of decaf coffee.

Fall in Virginia where I grew up is so different from Fall in Orlando. But I still love the Fall. I love it so much I got married in October and I was born in October. I know I didn’t have anything to do with my birth but it proves that the Fall is the best season of all.

I haven’t been writing much b/c I’ve been on Twitter more. Even then I haven’t been posting much of anything online - just too busy. Or spending time outside. But I decided awhile back I’m going to try and start writing again. I’m going to redo my site with a new template that better reflects me.

So…a new look soon!
