Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I am watching the Macy's parade. Later on, hubby and I are heading over to Amy's house for dinner with her family (my family is celebrating in Alabama this year, which we had to miss due to work).

I am thankful for so many things this year. My husband, our families (particularly my mother), our friends. I am so happy that hubby seems to love his new job coaching, his students, etc. I am so grateful that we are both healthy (especially considering how many people I know who have had swine flu). It has been a hard year (economically) but things have turned around. I hope this holiday finds everyone healthy and happy.

And now I need to thaw the mint chocolate ice cream pie I made to take to Thanksgiving.

Bye all!

Oh, and next week we are going to Disney's Animal Kingdom for my birthday, so expect a picture post to follow.

I know, I know. I haven't updated in almost a month. Sorry folks. Been busy. Work has been picking up (I just finished a week of "The Color Purple", before that there was a couple concerts and some conventions). Plus, hubby is doing some skating again. He is teaching Learn to Skate classes as well as working in the proshop of our local rink. So, we haven't had much time to update, or really anything exciting to post.

But, we did manage to go to not one, but two Halloween parties. Here are some pics.










So far, it looks like I'm gonna have the next few days off work (unless I get called in). SO I'm going to (hopefully) get most of my christmas shopping done. Wish me luck!

Zombie Walk pictures! Here are pics from the zombie walk that kicked off Screamfest this year. Hubby & I volunteered at the con.

I just realized I haven't update in 3 weeks. Oops! Sorry Folks!

Here are the highlights of the last 3 weeks:
--We saw Motorhead and Reverend Horton Heat at the House of Blues. Great show. Both Hubby and I are huge Rev fans and loved that he played both new stuff and old stuff (JIMBO). Motorhead was good as well, Lemmy rocks no matter how old he gets.
--We got FREE cheescake from the cheesecake factory. THey had a Fight Hunger promotion. SO we managed to support a worthy cause (the local food bank) and get yummy food (devil's food cheesecake).
--We went to the Orange County History Museum. Learned all about local history. Educational and interesting.
--Worked Fiddler on the Roof @ BCPAC. In fact, we've got load out at 11pm tonight.
--We moved from condo to house.

Those are our highlights. I'm sure we've done other things, but thats all I can think of for now.

Here are some pics of Shiloh Cemetery in Sanford that hubby took. There are more, but we don't have internet hooked up at the house yet (I'm using the neighbor's unsecured wifi). We coulnd't find the oldest (1800s) part of the cemetery, but it is so overgrown, I am not suprised.




Gotta go make dinner before work tonight. Bye all!

Hello!
Here's another weekend wrapup. Friday we went to the Peacock Room to see some local bands. The Nova Rays played some great instrumental surf rock, followed by Knockdown Dragout with some fantastic rockabilly.

Then on Saturday, we went to Wekiva with mom & her friend Ben. To celebrate literacy month, the Florida state parks system had free admission if you show your library card or donate a book (we did both...what else was I gonna do with the copy of Faulkner's As I Lay Dying that I bought for Highschool?).
We hiked some trails, went to the nature center (right in time to see the gator feeding), and swam in the springs. We were going to canoe, but the weather was kinda iffy, so maybe another time. We also met a group from Guatemala who were very entertaining trying to build a pyramid in the springs. Here are some pics.








Thats all for now. Wednesday, Motorhead & Reverend Horton Heat at HOB.

Last night, hubby and I went to Lakeland to see the preview of Celebrations new. It was a great chance to visit with old friends, and see DOI's newest show.
Here are some pics:

JACK SKELLINGTON (I love Nightmare Before Christmas so I was so looking foward to seeing him)


The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Mickey) is tempted with an apple while classic villians look on.


Everyone gets in the Halloween spirit (yes, that is Donald and Pluto in the background)


Minnie meets her Fairy Godmother


Aladdin & Jasmine


Things get a little romantic for the Princes & Princesses (Mickey & Minnie too)


Great effect. Fire on the Ice.


Goofy does the Limbo while visiting Lilo & Stitch (& family) in Hawaii.


Disney's newest Princess (from the upcoming Frog Prince movie). Great New Orleans-style costumes for this segment.


Finale group shot. Very Christmasy.


Today, Tommorrow and Sunday is work, work, work. Rehearsals (for another DOI show) here in town. Saturday night we're also heading to House of Blues for Traverser's CD release party. SHould be a good show, I highly recommend it for anyone in O-Town. Come out and support local bands. Monday is Labor Day, so we will be heading down to Lake Eola for the AFL-CIO picnic (free food for Union members).

GTG. We are catchin up on the Netflix. Battlestar Galactica Series Finale, Tokyo Gore Police, and Dollhouse Season 1.

Pictures! These are from Disney Boardwalk. We took them over the weekend. And now while you look at pics, I am going to bake. We are going to see the preview of DOI's new show tomorrow. I am making Dessert bars. Bottom layer is brownie, top layer is chocolate chip cookie dough, the middle is cheesecake filling. I have to make them tonight due to the fact that they need to sit in the fridge over night for the filling to harden. Yummy!
