Have you ever been to Kissimmee, Florida? I have, but it’s been more than 30 years ago! That makes me feel so old! I can’t believe it’s been that long ago and I have such great memories of that trip. It was right after high school graduation, some friends and I drove from Texas to Kissimmee to celebrate before heading off to college. We had so much fun and I remember the area being so beautiful with tons of things to do.

I was just checking out the Kissimmee website and discovered that one of our favorite t.v. shows, Hell’s Kitchen, is being taped in Kissimmee and, there are a couple of tapings that we could make reservations for, one in July and one in August. That would be so cool! My husband always wonders how the guests are treated and how they can handle waiting up to 2 hours to get their food after they’ve ordered (or over 4 hours on last week’s show!). It always amazes me that the diners can hear all the yelling and screaming going on in the kitchen and I always wonder how much of it is an act and how much is real. And, we all wonder how good the food really is! I think it would be a blast to go, don’t you?

Of course, Kissimmee is close enough to Orlando that it also offers theme parks (Disney, Universal & Seaworld), plus numerous water parks, shopping and dining options. Central Florida also offers a ton of lakes and streams worth exploring too. What about you, what would be your favorite activity in Kissimmee?

Do you ever feel that your house is falling apart? That’s how I feel today!

I walked into our master bathroom night before last to discover water all over the floor and it was coming from the wall behind my husband’s sink. This cannot be good! I took a look outside and there is water along the foundation too. So, a plumber is coming this afternoon.

We have a very large backyard and use a lawn tractor to mow it. Well, this year we can’t get the mower started, so my husband has been mowing it with the push mower instead. This was doable while the temperatures were reasonable, but it’s been in the 100’s for about 2 weeks, so it has become impossible without suffering heat stroke! Mind you, he keeps the front yard mowed, but our backyard is now looking like a jungle. The tractor repairman is coming this afternoon.

We live in Texas and Texas has bugs and lots of spiders. So, the pest control is coming this afternoon.

Our a/c is struggling to keep our family room and kitchen cool due to the extreme temperatures. I really wish the a/c repairman was coming this afternoon!

I’ve got to get back to work, but needed to vent. Thanks for listening!
