Something About Nothing..........# 10

[schumigirl]

hope all had a wonderful, calorie free, fight free, holiday!

Well..........not sure about calorie free but everything else was as it should be. Spoke to all my family over the day and felt a little homesick as they were altogether and I`m over 4 hours away. But I`m lucky

Had a really lovely relaxing Christmas day, Just DH DS and me. Ate too much and watched too much tv. Actually Christmas tv was mostly junk so watched some dvd`s and re runs of two and a half men......very Christmassy!!!! Turkey was just perfect though

DS was staying in last night so it was just nice.

Today been much the same.

Hope everyone had a lovely day

just wondering if schumigirl has polished off that bottle of wine yet..........





oh, on our local news today, chicago has new fees that start on January 1st.

meter parking in the city will be $6.50 per hour.


i read threads on the darkside that newbies complain about parking fees of $17 per night for the onsite hotels.

they don't realize that is not an expensive parking fee.


park in downtown chicago and expect to pay a lot.
i went to Mr. Mac's company Christmas party two fridays back and it was $40 to park for 3 hours at the hotel.
and that was a discounted rate........


i can remember when downtown chgo meter parking was only $2.50 an hour.
now it is the highest rate in the country as of January 1st.
$6.50 per hour is a lot.

schumigirl has a hot nye's night planned...............

i'm betting she is gonna kill a box of chocolates that night......

 

[marciemi]

Hm, I just had to go to downtown Indy and it cost me $2.25 total to park for two hours. Think you're getting ripped off.

snowed in here watching star wars marathon on spike and drinking hot tea & munching on cookies. I took down many of the indoor decorations yesterday, but would love to leave the tree up year round

anybody else dig around on the new version of disney website?

 

[macraven]

i'm waiting for the kinks to be worked out on the motherland website before i book there.

unless i get a pin that is.

 

[schumigirl]

Ello all

I know I shouldn`t complain.....but I will, and probably regret it in Jan/Feb when snow and ice cause us problems...............

but.....this has been the least Christmassy weather ever. It is so mild.....warmish even some nights. Had to open our windows last few nights......positively tropical (well not quite) but certainly not cold.

Had lots of rain, but never known December to be so mild.

Moan over

Bit bored tonight again. DH is working, DS is out and TV is rubbish. I`m watching Ghost....but don`t watch the ending as it`s too sad Like Keisha I`m having hot Tea and some homemade shortbread....yum.


104 days till NY
258 days till Orlando

Not that I`m counting

Hope everyones having a good weekend

Morning all.........2nd last day of 2012.

Quite fancy watching the new movie about the Tsunami called The Impossible with Ewan McGregor. Anyone seen it?

I don`t go to the cinema though. I`m very intolerant of the noises of others around me in cinemas....so DH has banned me from ever going back.

I`m usually very tolerant and I think quite a nice person.....but the incessant paper rustling, chewing, slurping, whispering loudly, wriggling, texting and peoples inability to not tell everyone the next bit coming up.......well it just irritates me a smidge I`m not like that anywhere else though

Have a good Sunday

Hey Carole....I haven't seen the movie you're talking about. I feel the same way about going to the movies. It always seems like no one knows how to behave. I'd rather watch it on PPV at home rather than spend two hours listening to others who have no consideration for those around them.

It's cold this morning here in sunny Orlando. The website says 42 degrees! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

It is supposed to warm up tomorrow but today is definitely chilly.

 

[macraven]

Metro, I'll trade my 24 for your 42...............

No thanks...it's a balmy 56 now.

Relaxing after the day before driving my DM's car that gets no traction in the snow. Almost slid into a busy intersection, and how I stopped don't know. DM doesn't know how white knucked I was. I hate ice.


Anyway, by later in the day, roads are generally clear.

Now enjoying some wine received as a gift. Nice white.

Cannot believe tomorrow night will be waiting for midnight. Wow has the year flown by.

Evening homies.

 

[macraven]

i believe what G-Girl said.
driving on ice sucks.

you hit a patch of ice and the car goes in the direction it wants to.
braking doesn't save youse.



hoping that the wine you are drinking helps you forget about that intersection today.



2012.
glad to see it leave.



hoping 2013 will be a level better.



i celebrate that stroke of midnight with the tv......and the dis.

 

[Metro West]

Well...the blimp just made a pass over my house! It's here for tomorrow's Capital One Bowl which I always watch. The weather should be great!

All the best to everyone and hope 2013 is everything you hope it to be

 

[Lynne G]

Happy New Year to everyone! That Artic air has set in, but it will be January!

And I don't think I could say a blimp ever passed over my house. What a sight that must have been.

Snuggled with the dog watching some corney TV with the kids and a sleeping DH.

The best for all in 2013!!!
