What would you like to see?

Morning all! We're still in Pigeon Forge, TN at the moment. We're about to go downstairs for the breakfast buffet and then off to WonderWorks. It opens at 9am, and we'll probably be there for a couple of hours. We have reservations for 6pm at Dixie Stampede for dinner. In between we'll probably have some lunch and hit the pool (which we were in 3 times yesterday. LOL).

As my longtime blog subscribers know, I enjoy changing up the blog's look from time to time. It's been a while since I changed it to the theme for A Twilight Abduction, and now I'm thinking about changing it up again. No thoughts yet on the new theme, but I was wondering if there is something you'd like to see on the blog that isn't already here.

Any widgets, gadgets, additions, or knick-knacks you'd like me to add? If you think of anything feel free to post it in the comments here or email it directly to me at christie@christiesilvers.com . I like to have things that interest people and keep bringing them back. Well, people other than my damn stalker. Ugh! Yes, I still see you everytime you show up here. Sheesh!

But I digress... While we're at it, if you think of anything the website needs, add those ideas as well. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and sometimes I just draw a complete blank on adding new things.

Well, the kids are yelling for food and the breakfast buffet is only open until 9:30am. Guess I better go. We'll be heading home tomorrow, but I'll try to post some pictures after WonderWorks today. Have a great day!

And we're off... again!

Morning all! We're packing and getting ready to hit the road for the last time this summer. Thought I'd post a blog entry before shutting down and packing up the laptop to bring along with me. I never leave home on a trip without my laptop... even if where we're going has absolutely no internet access. Gotta have my baby with me. LOL.

So we'll be on the road in a couple of hours (unless Tim gets overly excited and wants to leave sooner) and will reach the hotel in Pigeon Forge, TN about 3 hours later. We were last up there in April for our anniversary.

It's funny because when we were first married (and 17 years old) we could get there in 2 hours. However, over the years our times have increased. I'm guessing we drove a lot faster when we were stupid teenagers with no kids to worry about. Hahaha!

I called yesterday to make our dinner reservations at Dixie Stampede for tomorrow at 6pm. We're all set!

Today we're just going to make it up there and hang out and enjoy the pool with the kids. Everyone is excited though. Hell, Tim was begging me to go yesterday, but I set my foot down with a resounding "NO" when I saw that the hotel price for Saturday was $80 and we're only paying $50 a night for Sunday and Monday. "Nope. You're jobless, remember?" LOL! Poor guy.

So anyway, we're leaving in a bit and will be home on Tuesday. I will still have internet access so feel free to email me if you need/want to. I'll only be checking them in the late evenings, so don't expect a speedy response.

Time to shut this down now. Have a great Sunday! <3

Saturday morning.

Good morning all. Welcome to Saturday. Did you get to sleep in late this morning? Or did you have somewhere to be and something to do early on?

Tim and I got to sleep in this morning. The kids went to spend the night with his parents last night. We grilled out steaks and corn on the cob, did some drinking, watched some television, and then off to bed. Nothing exciting, but very relaxing and enjoyable for us.

Today we need to run an errand or two, pick up the kids, and pack for our trip tomorrow.

Tomorrow we're heading up to Pigeon Forge, TN. We'll hang out at the hotel, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, and just relax. Then Monday morning we'll take the kids to WonderWorks. That'll probably last a few hours. At dinnertime we'll head over to Dixie Stampede for the 6pm dinner and show. It should all be a lot of fun.

And then Tuesday morning we'll head back home and start getting ready for school. Next Thursday is Open House and then 5 days later it's the first day of school! Woohoo!

Next week is also when my monthly newsletter goes out. So if you aren't a subscriber and would like to be, now is the perfect time to do so! Subscribe here.

I better get going now. The kids will be calling for us to come get them soon. Have a great day!
