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

[schumigirl]

We have a mixture of cash and Travellers checks when we are in the States.......we do bring one credit card for hotel charging purposes and for expensive purchases. AMEX TC`s are really handy for us and we like them, even though a lot of Brits use the loaded money cards we still use TC`s and will do so next year too.

But yes at home most things go on the card and my DH pays the bill at the end of the month.......I`m embarrassed to say I don`t even look at it........ignorance really can be bliss at times

I do carry some cash at home though for little things and incidentals, but not much.

We don't put up our tree until after Thanksgiving and it stays up until after New Years. The day after Halloween, some of the radio stations started playing Christmas music! I think it was around Thanksgiving last year that they did that..

Weather has turned cold here and they are calling for snow later this week. I need to get up earlier to defrost my car! I was late for work this am because the at needed defrosting!

I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet. We always do a lot of baking but now that I am working full time I don't know where I will find the time.. I mainly just focus on the kids, although there isn't much they really need..

Can you get universal gift cards anywhere, I wonder? I'd rather they have money to buy what they want while on vacation then to buy stuff they don't need now and then they not have spending money on vacation..

you can buy the universal gift cards online.

i bought mine while in the parks last month but online buying is just as easy.

i'm more than happy to share my cold weather with youse.......

thought i saw that orlando temps could dip to the 30's at night when the cold front comes through.



since it is still snowing outside, i ended up cleaning my closet.
after 3 hours doing that, i am not even 1/4 of the way done.

 

[goofyfigment]

It snowed a bit Saturday night in Ottawa.

It's still cold and dreary out.

I've got my fuzzy housecoat on and am watching my TV shows after spending two days helping my parents organize and throw out things.

They're down to the wire now. I've taken Friday off to go help them pack the important stuff and move smaller things to their new house.

Because I spend more time with them than my brother does, I get to choose which spare bedroom I get to use. Should I choose the one next to theirs, which is small and is painted a very pretty pale yellow, or should I choose the room in the basement? It has a horrible shag carpet, but the dark panel walls are very retro and it has a cute little alcove closet that would have been fun to have as a child. It's also MUCH bigger and farther away from my father snoring.

Hmmmmmm.......

 

[macraven]

i vote for the room away from the snoring.......

 

[tink1957]

Me too...the non-snoring room sounds best...no pun intended

The lows are supposed to be in the 20's here starting Wednesday I need to move to Hawaii.

It's supposed to hit 70 tomorrow where I am - and then get down to 29 that night! It's only a 20% chance of precip though so we likely won't see any flakes. My kids haven't seen a single snow flake since 3 winters ago - so we're hoping! I hate the cold, but it would be nice to have the excitement of snow. (Plus, everything shuts completely down with the smallest amount snow, so it's a relaxing day at home for all - they've even sent kids home from school early due to a threat of snow before!)

goofy- we're headed there Sat so I've kept my eyes on it. Temps look great then. Even where I am, the super cold is just for two nights.

 

[macraven]

right now it is 23 degrees where i am.

down right cold.



i'm positive goofy figment will have great weather when she gets to the big O this friday.

Nothing to fear...the high on Friday is supposed to be 81...and the same through the weekend.

Thanks metro.

Mac when I woke it there was snow (only about an inch) and it was 25 degrees.

 

[mrsabbott]

Snow here as well, but just a dusting.. It's all melted by now.
Good to know about the gift cards.. I plan to get one each for the girls in place of one of their gifts.. I might order a chocolate frog or some Bertie Botts to go along with it.. To keep them excited and whatnot..

 

[keishashadow]

If I play my cards right by the time i'm rolling back into the house after early am black Friday shopping, DH has the tree up waiting to be decorated.

had 1st snow 'that stuck' last night but as long as I don't have to shovel i'm good with it

Daughter "#3", just called me from Kansas, (900 miles NORTH of me), to inform me her car wouldn't start. I informed her that there are tow trucks, mechanics, and auto parts houses up there.
She then"informed" ME that there are also DEALERSHIPS up there, one is right down the street from her college!
I started making calls, after she hung up....
