Something About Nothing..........#11

[schumigirl]

carole - still no word here .

Still nothing here.

So last week my stepmom texted me saying she found 2 $200 savings bonds in my name that had matured and was going to mail them to me along with a $200 check on a dormant acct she got notified on. So now I have this money I have to just sit on till may and it's frustrating!! I'm not good at having money laying around. I want to spend it!! lol I already booked my shuttle to the Cabana Bay (getting a ride from my CM friend to pop then ME back to MCO). And bought the early bird thing on my flight home (last couple trips I kept forgetting to check in at 24 hours, so I mainly got it for that). So now I just have to wait. 60 days left!!

That's always welcome news.........try and sit on it and keep it till May........although I'm the same as you.........I'm a spender and I never apologise for it......although my DH wishes I would slow down sometime
Saw the latest pics of cabana bay rooms.......they look really nice


Still got beautiful weather here, glorious sunshine but coldish.......took DS out for new clothes this morning......he's so easy to buy for so it was fun

Hope everyone's good

Good morning everyone. We haven't heard from Mac either. Hope she is doing alright.

Hi

I talked to mac on Monday and she's OK all things considered...just very sad and tired.... wish I could be there to give her a break and a big hug.

Glad you got to talk to her Vicki I`ve been putting off calling her, with the time difference when I could call, she probably wouldn't be in or when she would be in I`m asleep.

She knows we`re all thinking of her though


Another beautiful day here......we`re really getting spoiled. I`ve done some gardening today which was nice.......... now I have the garden room doors all open and sat in the sunshine.....it`s so warm and so peaceful

Thanks Tink. Sending Mac prayers and good thoughts.

Schumi, we too have some nice, bright sun today, but temps are 25 degrees F and winds around 50 mph most of the day. Down right cold. Rained hard last night, so whatever wasn't dried up this morning is ice. Fun drive this morning. I thought I was done with black ice.

So, keep checking my rental car rates for our summer vacation. Still have not dropped to what I would like. Seems like everything is higher priced this year.

Hope all are enjoying their Thursday!

Black ice is nasty!!!

We have around 60 degrees today Lynne, but in the last 15 mins the sun is going lower and you can feel that almost autumnal chill setting in. But still nice.....time to close the doors I think.

How nice to have your boy home for a break........sounds like a good weekend you have planned

We have the Australian GP to watch............so early rises for us Saturday and Sunday.......we like seeing it live and not recorded.

Calling my auntie in Long Island to make some arrangements for our trip in May, meeting friends for lunch tomorrow and that's about as much as we have planned this weekend.

I was on the trip advisor Orlando forum the other day.......isn't it funny what some people post at times

Have a great weekend everyone

Just soccer for my DD. Thankfully nothing early, so I get to sleep in. So waiting for that!

Made two more reservations for dining at WDW. Not sure we'll keep all of them, but at least I got most of the times I was looking for. All falling into place for our late summer vacation. Can't believe SW's fares have increased around $400 since I booked our tickets. I thought what price I booked at was kinda crazy, but now I am happy I booked when I did. It's going to be a full plane on the way back.

And yes, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Geeeez Loiueez.!!! You oughtta go to VeGaS with a lucky streak like that going!

Unfortunately vacations are the only thing I get luck with. I never win money on anything. My bestie Adam and I went to Winstar in OK and I actually won close to $100 on a $20 on a Wizard of Oz machine. I told myself to stop, but I swear they put something in the air to make you keep gambling and I lost it all. And that is why I don't gamble, usually.

Evening all........

I spoke to macraven yesterday......she's doing ok considering

Funny day today. It's passed so quickly and I've not done much.....can't believe our weather is still so nice......

Have a great week everyone

 

[marciemi]

Link to my cruise pics for anyone who might possibly be interested (ie Janet). We did have a major issue on this cruise and I just sent off a two page email to Carnival but I won't go into that here. I will say that I wouldn't book that cabin or that ship again, at least not until the drydock (theoretically this year). But overall, lots and lots of fun times!

[schumigirl]

Marcie.......your pictures are lovely.....I enjoyed looking at them
Sorry you had an issue, just hope it gets resolved the way you want.


So season 4 AHS looks to be set in a Carnival???

Not for me. But just hope they do a better job than the New Orleans one, started strong and got steadily worse.

I don't like scary circus freaky things so may just have to give it a miss

Can't believe one of my friends today, well she's kinda new to one of our groups. 6 of us met for lunch today. 2 of them smoke.....not an issue at all as they all smoke outside if we are at one another's houses or go outside to the smoking areas if we are out like today. I wanted to see some pictures on one of the friends phones so went out with them. When we go back in this new friend starts having a go at them for smoking!! Now I don't smoke never have, but not my place to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing!!

So it all became quite unpleasant. But I was annoyed with her upsetting my friends that do smoke, whether you like it or not........if your friends smoke they smoke. This is also the one that always wants us to go to a veggie restaurant.....
Eh no. Sorry rant over.

Our meal was lovely though

 

[Lynne G]

Schumi, sorry to hear your meal was not as pleasant as it could have been. I'm with you, please don't blow smoke in my face, but if you have to smoke, that's your issue, and I don't mind if you light up. I have relatives that smoke, I hate that they do, but I don't say anything to them. They just can't smoke in my car, as I hate that smell, and I can't seem to get it out the car as much as I can get the smell out of my house.

We had snow today, well last night. A few inches to make today's commute a little slower. Tempature was 25 F this morning, so very cold, with a cold wind that makes it feel less than the 36 F high we're supposed to reach this afternoon. Just when I think the large snow piles from past storms were finally melted, we now have white fluffy snow covering everything again. Cannot wait to spring is here in a few days!

Happy Monday all!

Yep, we've never had anyone smoke in our house or car and people have always been ok with that.

It was just so unnecessary today for her to have a go at them just because they smoke. I hope this person decides we're not her kind of people if I'm honest, shame as her husband is a nice guy. But she seems to find fault with a few things with us as a group whether it be smoking or the fact we all eat meat......a lot of meat

Oh I hope your weather picks up soon.......that is cold!! I think we forget other people are still getting bad weather when ours is starting to improve.

Spring is just around the corner.........hopefully

 

[schumigirl]

Evening all..........well it's early evening here. Quiet on here.

Cold again here......

Bought some custard doughnuts today........there was a tiny bit of custard in it when I got to it ...........what a disappointment. Told DH he could have my other one, I won't bother with it.

Hope everyone's doing ok

What is cold? I think our definition might differ

Good news from here, I have already gotten summer job it is at the same place as last summer.
It is a kindergarden(1-2 year olds) for disabled children, I love this job.

 

[Lynne G]

Mikki, that's a great summer job. Working with kids can be so rewarding. My DS will be a counsler at a summer day camp again this year. He really likes being with the campers. And cold, well, when we are single digits close to zero, we feel cold. Artic air will be over us again next week. I have yet to put away my winter clothes.

Happy spring all! It's a dreary Thursday, and the sun has yet to make an appearance. At least last night, was the first night we didn't go below freezing in a long time. Birds are chirping very early in the morning now. It's that time of year. Wahoo!

And my DD asked me, are you ready for our vacation yet? Well, H yes. Less than 6 months now.


Sending prayers and comfort to Mac and family.
