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

[sersee05]

Oooh that looks yummy.

Eh..I woke up all stuffy ...what the heck. Dh is in the shower and I have to pee. I could go downstairs but would rather just lay here and complain. Boy he takes a long shower! Dang.

Its nice to purge the toys we have a basement with tv and was orig. Our toy room. But no one would go down. They were scared and rather play upstairs. We had hideous l room furniture passed down to us..we got rid of it and that became the play room.

So now I gotta figure out what to do with it.we got a new pc desk...so there was a good size table we pulled out....so thinking maybe homework room? They use my dining room now. But I gotta figure out how to make it look ok because u see it when u walk into the house.


Omg I really have to pee. Move it along dh!

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

@Ceilei that cake looks super yummy!! Happy belated birthday.

Prince Charming and I are house hunting and one of my wishes is a ranch w/ basement and they are not easy to find here. The girls are still young (2.5years and 11 months) and the piles of toys are already getting out of control!! How do we accumulate so much in such a short space of time??

Surprised my parents yesterday with the annual pass!! Today is going to be great. We get to introduce the girls and the hubby to the darkside!!!! Bittersweet bc my brothers could not make it this year and will be the first time at Uni without them. So sad...but so freaking excited!! I am hoping I haven't talked it up too much. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Carole - Clearwater would've been my 1st choice (lived there as a child)

Well, I learnt something new today.......I did not know that you lived there

it's monday??

yep.......all day

mac......forgot to tell you....remember the little cat that visits us? Well, we all got a sheet of paper through the door on Friday with his picture on it and a phone number......he has been missing for a week and they desperately want him back So hoping he comes back, such a beauty and I`m not really the biggest cat fan but we just adored this one.

Cielei......give my slice to someone else........hate bananas or banana flavoured things........... It does look nice though......hope you enjoyed it



We are being baked in heat and it`s fantastic..........I even did 90 minutes of gardening this afternoon......cut back some trees and bushes.........looks like a fantastic yield from the plum trees this year

Hope everyone`s good

mac - Starting a load of clothes is better for maintaining culpable deniability as to intent

carole - Still can't believe my parents decided to leave paradise and come back to Pennsylvania but everything happens for a reason.

Oooh, I want a Tardis too!would settle for The 10th Doctor.

the 1st zuchinni of the season has crawled into the house. 90% humidity and I'm going to be breading & frying it. Too bad I don't have carole's lasagna to wash it down.

We picked our first grape tomato. DD promptly ate it.

Hot and humid day. Was enjoying the overcast 70 degrees we had at the shore this week-end.

Cielei, nice cake. My kids would not even attempt any baking, unless I help. Will be celebrating both DD and my birthdays while we are on vacation. I think we will just buy a cupcake or ice cream cone to celebrate.

Mac, laundry is highly overrated. I still have loads to do.

Hope all had a good day, and welcome to the new posters!

consider it her appetizer before dinner.

y'all make me laugh and that is something I needed today!

All ou garden gals need to get a spiralizer - it's fun to make zucchini spaghetti - I just steam the zucchini noodles and then add a nice fresh primavera sauce over and it's delicious (and don't tell the kids but healthy too!) All my veggies come from whole foods or a farmer's market though - my thumb is not green. I have managed to keep the flower pots in the front alive so far this year (I may occasionally have to replant them a time or two during the summer).
I need to get some things primed outside - I do manage to keep the landscaping alive; so that counts for something yes? The problem with gardens, landscaping and flowers is that there are spiders, big nasty spiders that aren't dead.

 

[macraven]

i used to love to see the bunny rabbits running around in our yard.

when my boys were little, i would always yell for them to look out the window to see the rabbits fly thru the back yard.


then i started a garden and i started to hate those damn rabbits.
they would eat my "crops".......

and i can't keep flowers blooming in the front yard due to those critters.



Cielei, i bet you don't have rabbits that ruin your flowers and garden.

I'm hoping we have a red tomato before the 1st frost at this point.

sounds like an interesting tool. I've wanted a mandolin for sometime but afraid i'd lose a digit, wickedly sharp looking.

we have so many hawks here the rabbit & raccoon population has declined. It's now the rowdy deer gangs we deal with who love to strip our bushes. Forget bambi, they have aggressively charged our cars before when we try to get out of them after returning home. Local farmers haven't planted their fields for a few years, guess they have to scavenge somewhere but it's turning into an issue.

The only wild animals here is our super Walmart.

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, yep, we have those cute cotton tail bunnies, but the are not so cute when they eat your garden. We also have secure trash cans because of the raccoons and skunk. We have red tail and white tail hawks. They seem to go after squirrels as much as the other small animals. Darn squirrels eat my grapes off the vine and apples off our apple tree. We rarely get either of those fruits to eat. And deer, us too, there's daily news about accidents involving deer. Ours are not bambi either.

Ahh, the humidity is back. With the heat index, we will feel like it is 100 degrees. And people think we're nuts to go to Florida when it's hot. We like the heat and riding the water rides and enjoying getting wet.

So it's Tuesday and SW sent me an email to say your trip is getting close. Well, if a month from now is close, then yep, I'm close to my summer vacation.

 

[KStarfish82]

Wow Mac, I cannot believe you remember all the dental work! Haven't had so many problems since (knock on wood).

Thankfully, its only been getting better and better since I have been chatting in this group. And even better things are yet to come....

As promised:

 

[schumigirl]

KFish........he is gorgeous!! Absolutely adorable.......it's a fantastic age.....but then they are all fantastic in their own way........thanks for posting

Janet........I brought a big mandolin back from Williams and Sonoma couple of years back (along with new set of knives from there and I wondered why TSA checked my case that time )........ Anyway, I love it.......but I cut my finger a lot with normal knives so.......DH stands over me as I use it and he won't let me wash it.......we don't put it in the dishwater so he washes it by hand as he's convinced I am going to lose the aforementioned digit
It is incredibly sharp though, but I really like it and use it all the time........you should get one

Lynne........getting closer now.........enjoy that heat


We have had a scorcher today.........glorious weather.......bit breezy now so we have come inside after BBQing.........lush!!

2nd last episode of Hannibal tonight......cannot wait! I wasn't sure about this when it started but after a couple of episodes I was hooked.......

Hope everyone's having a good day........couple of hours till bedtime here

 

[keishashadow]

how cute is he? & he likes the water

bluer the people of walmart website will back u up on that statement lol

Lynne we have tons of squirrels here too. Lots of old trees with nuts, but we have an idiot in the neighborhood who insists on feeding them. Now they aren't afraid of people. We had a rabid one a few years back set up camp on our front porch. He disappeared for a few days. Woke up the morning before vacation, came downstairs & there was the worst smell. Finally figured out the mad squirrel had somehow managed to squeeze thru the fireplace damper in the living room & croaked in my hearth. it remained there until my DH came home from work, way above my pay grade

I've only seen one snake in my yard this summer, hope it was the last.

**groooooooan** .......

Is it just me or are they taking forEVER to announce the HHN stuff? So far I am excited about the WD and Face Off announcements and over the moon at the rumored possibility of seeing my beloved Prince of Halloween (aka Michael Myers). The Purge and FDTD don't really seem scary, but I am looking forward to seeing the costumes and other details the creators come up with.

 

[KStarfish82]

Thanks Schumi! Its an awesome age....just wish he would understand directions a little better

Keisha - he LOVES the water. Took him to the beach yesterday and made a beeline for the ocean. He would sit in the surf all day....

Christopher is beautiful.

Kfish, don't think twice about him not understanding directions.
i have 4 sons and none of them have learned it yet.

of course he loves the water!
his momma and auntie are swimmers....
