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

[Lynne G]

[FONT="Comic Sans MSi am having an attic fan put in tomorrow.
they will be here at 8:00 am and i have to get up early and clear out the closet.
the entry to the attic is through our bedroom closet.

also having the bathroom exhaust fan and heat fan replaced.

it's gonna be a day long job i was told.


[/I][/FONT]

Hope it all goes well Raven. Nice in the heat to have the fan cool the attic. We have 2 attic fans.

Well, welcome to a very wet Friday! That tropical storm has now reached my neighborhood and won't leave until late today. Next 4 days sound like a FLA summer, chance of pop up thunderstorms every day, with 80'sF temps. Glad to hear Metro and Bluer and all those in FLA are safe and just wet. Sending the sun which we won't see today.

Hope your week-end is restful!
DD has a bday party to go to, and with pre-teens it's all about money and gift cards. Makes the gift easy though.

Off to get caffine.

i've been hitting the coffee pot since 5:40 this morning......

such a headache with little sleep........


well, at 7:30 this morning, one worker arrived.
hey, they were due here at 8:00...........

at least i was completely dressed.


schumigirl, i didn' clean the bedroom this week.
figured it would do that with all the dust and all, after they were done.
yes, i do get lazy but i had a brilliant excuse this time!

sounds like it has been real busy at your house, carole.
getting things fixed up, repaired, takes a lot of time and changes your schedule.

hope you can cook something vegan.
maybe they like peanut butter?
other than that, i'm no help.............lol

lynne, some light rain here the past two days.
maybe 4 10ths of an inch, which is nothing.....

but we do have cool temps.
our furnace has been running for a couple of days so far.


have a great day homies!
at 5:00, your weekend begins!!

Hi all!

Glad to hear everyone is safe in FL. Hot and muggy in TN with occasional rain.
No tornados here this week. We had no idea that TN was part of tornado alley when we moved down here from WI. Just glad we have a basement, not many houses down here do.

Mac- good luck with the fans. I'm lucky my husband is handy, he can install/fix just about anything. Saves a lot of money but he is really slooooow, wants everything just perfect.

I'm using my Christmas gift from my husband and son today. Got a gift card for a day at the spa. After working 6 out of 7 days (12 hour shifts) I really need it.

Check back with you all later!

Yes it`s been busy but worth it. Only thing is we had a problem with our boiler apparently. Unexpected repair bill is never good.......could have been worse though least we don`t need whole new boiler system!!

Vegan has cancelled

Aww have a lovely day...........it`s nice to get a good pampering at a Spa


Got food for tonight, and it was so easy when the girl who is vegan cancelled. We are all confirmed meat eaters and all like similar things. I would have been worried I got her the wrong thing.

Everything`s done so watching free practice for Canadian GP.......sampling one of the pitchers of sangria dh made up..........nice

Sounds like most people are getting rain. It's rainy and dreary here today, but I'm hoping it'll stop raining for tomorrow evening.

My DBF is coming up for the weekend (we live an hour and a half apart) and we hope to go to a drive in tomorrow.

I've got BBQ chicken cooking in the crockpot at home, and I plan on making a healthy quinoa salad for tonight. Yum!

[Bluer101]

Wow very quiet here. I'm here good morning.

 

[Lynne G]

Once again, a rainy Monday. To be rainy all day, and the next couple days. Oh well, at least not during this past week-end.

Kids are getting lazy. They know it is the last full week of school, and want to attach themselves to their ipods every minute. Umm, no, we're still in school mode. No sleeping with electronics!

Starting to check out rental car prices for our December Olando trip. EEk! I hope they decrease as we get closer.

For my August trip, I have now found a rental even lower than I had reserved before. So, very happy. Will still check last minute though, you never know what inventory they have and price may drop again.

What I am pleasantly surprised so far is that both airfare for our trips has increased, the August one even more than the December one. Glad I booked when I did.

So, hope all have a great day

Since the AC is now cranking, I'm off to warm up.

morning Bluer!

Hi Lynne..........we are into 8 days running of sunshine.........unusual for us especially this time of year. I just hope this is not our summer.......we had 4 days in May last year.......that was it.......blink and you missed it. Hope your weather improves!
I hear ya with car rental.....it`s scary. What we pay for 17 nights is crazy but we do like the freedom to get around as we do like to head to St Pete`s area up to Mount Dora and the usual out to restaurants and malls. So it`s worth it for us.
Hope you get a better deal though.......that`s always good to get

Good morning homies

Hope everyone is well

Not long till your trip now St L bet you can`t wait!!!!
Did you add another night on to your trip or staying as it is?



Had a fantastic weekend........great bbq on Friday......fantastic Grand Prix weekend......good result

And I booked our New York flights for next year

Just me and mum......but going for 2 weeks this time. Flying British Airways this time.....we usually fly Virgin Atlantic across to the States but time for a change. And flying Premium Economy coming home.........so very excited although it is a time away yet......But I love planning everything!!!

Hope everyone`s doing good

i took a sleeping pill last night and i knew i posted jibberish somewhere in the forum.

at least i only looked like a fool at "home" here.


i hope you got great rates for your trip.
and that british air will be just as fine for you as virgin air has been.

wow, you have two great trips coming up.
the darkside and NY.

lucky ducky............!

Lol......you never look like a fool, especially to us

I use that word Jibberish a lot......I like it......well, as much as you can like a word

Probably didn`t get the best price for flights. I`m sure "experts" would tell us to wait and look around for better prices but we just wanted it booked. And I always think as long as you`re happy with the price you paid.....then it`s just fine

Hope things are good with you mac

 

[macraven]

jibberish is a fun word.

we need to make it come back................


you know Carole, when you like the time of the flight, the airport it will use and the choice of transportation modes after you land, then you don't look at the price as much.
meaning, the price won't be a deal breaker.


i go by the time and date a flight leaves and departs for my trips.

if i find 2 airlines that have similar schedules, i always go by the arrival time in the city i am traveling to.

if it is higher than the other airline, i don't bat an eye.
my priority is time to spend on my vacation, not the cost of the air.

i usually use United or American for flights.
have used southwest but for where i travel, the fare is more than the other airlines.
if another legacy airline could beat the price, and schedules, i would consider them.

got a busy day ahead of me.
i'm just dising and drinking coffee right now.
in a little bit, going to take care of my parental unit for the rest of the day.

but, i will be back.


homies, have a great day!

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Back to the grind today. Sigh.

I went to a drive-in on Saturday! I've never been as an adult, so I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was similar to a campground. Dogs were welcome and people were wandering around with their pups, or families were throwing around a ball while waiting for the movies to start.

The food prices were ridiculous.

Next time, I'm bringing my own popcorn. >_>

No not long until we start the 13 hour drive to the RPR and as for now we haven't added a extra day yet cause waiting for oldest DS to figure out if he wants to go and if he does then we have to see if we can change our room from a king to 2 queen and pay the extra person fee but as usual he likes to wait til the last minuet

And now for something completely different.

What is the deal with raw fish these days? I don't mean sushi/sashimi, I mean "seared" but raw in the middle. Seems like it used to just be tuna they did that to, now it's EVERYthing. I admit I don't have the most adventurous palate, but I'm hardly "prudish." I just like, you know, COOKED food. Is it considered gauche to have dinner in an upscale restaurant and inform them you want your seafood well-done? I even saw a pork dish on one of the menus that was "asterisk-ed" as served undercooked.

Grr. All this rain is making me crabby.

19 days til takeoff....
