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

[keishashadow]

Carole - slept in until 7 am today, flicked on the news. They kept talking about 'the games'Finally realized somebody had left channel on BBC. Glasgow Games, never heard of them before, look to be a big deal with much hoopla.

Love old skool horror flicks in style of the Conjuring! we had gone to an all day movie fest hosted by my DIL's company (i.e. if it's free, it's for me). Talked DSs into seeing it. Both afterwards said it was lame, not scary. The next day both called to tell me they had nightmares...hehehe

sequel is due out by Halloween '15 & it seems to revolve around the doll - Annabelle

agavegirl1 - hmm, you had a leak & bought a canoe? some might call that overkill - jk Sounds as though once you get the paperwork in order the plumber or his general contractor will come through. Did you happen to verify he had an insurance binder? Even if uninsured your homeowner's likely will pick it up.

Sorry I was late with the picture.

I had my orthopedic app today and on top of that Dw's battery died in the vehicle. So a unwanted trip to Sears to get a battery after the doctor.

5 minute install and back in the road. Now the wallet is lighter but DW is happy. As they say a happy wife makes a happy hubby.

y'all good?

things like this are what keeps life interesting

seriously, does anybody go to Sears for giggles. How are they still in business?

oh

I have 6 immediate family BDs within 2 months beginning end of May, it does put a ding in the budget. if I extend the time period another 30 days I can throw in DIL's, but she's easy to please with a gift card.

Not sure how many know Brab, she swiped my birthdaybut has been MIA here lately, busy chick she is.

I was watching some of it today........the ladies triathlon was based around Strathclyde park.......such a lovely place to go and spend some time.....and the weather looked beautiful.........some family members have plans to go a few different days....Glasgow is only about 40 minutes inland from where I grew up, so it's very close.

So they don't show the Commonwealth Games in the States? Or just not these ones? I suppose they wouldn't really.

Lol about the Conjuring giving them nightmares.........Tom said I was like a rucksack on his back last night he likes when I watch scary movies

I'm glad the sequel is about Annabelle......I think ........I read it was going to be about a story called the Enfield Poltergeist in England......which I thought was proved to be fake.......so Annabelle sounds much better.......freaky little doll things are spooky too!



Our weather was weird today........we never got the heat wave promised.......it just looked dull and misty all day but not cold......there was not a breath of air around.....which is unusual being beside the sea.

Friday tomorrow.........off out for the day I think.......spot of lunch and some shopping

 

[macraven]

i wasted this afternoon.
son and i went out for soul food in town and are so stuffed we just want to sit and do nothing.

catfish and greens and pinto beans, what a way to go.
throw in the corn bread and it's a meal

 

[macraven]

any one up for a game of cards.......?

 

[pcstang]

I'm game! So ready for our trip next week to visit the darkside!

 

[macraven]

ok, i'll deal the card but you should know in advance i sometimes cheat.





next week is your trip !!!!
i'm crossing my fingers for you that you have no storms or heavy rains while you are there.

last fall in october when i went, i walked around in wet clothes and sloshing shoes.

no fun.......

Happy Friday everyone.

I got some side work this weekend. Very happy as all my side work goes into our vacation bank account. Which pays for all our Universal trips.

We are having withdrawals from universal already. It's been 2 weeks since being there. But not to worry we are the in 2 weeks from today.

Then a September trip or two. After that the best trip of the year. 5 days with HHN with our homies. Can't wait.

the mr has been racking up the overtime. Usually, I cover the trips via a preset budget but RL intruded this year & he's going to have to ride that white horse to the rescue

wowzers u visit so often, lucky ducks. Know u have to had lost count over the years but any idea how many times you'll visit this year?

 

[Lynne G]

It's Friday!

So happy, it's been a long week.

Finally, nothing to do this week-end. Still recovering from doing laundry from being not home the last 2 week-ends.

DD got another bat mitzvah invite. First time I saw cocktail attire listed. Um, asking a tween girl to dress up - my DD will need her nails and hair done. She's been one expensive kid so far.

Got an email that my bands for WDW have shipped. Wow - it's getting closer! I renewed my USO AP too. Since I used my American Express, I hope to hit up the Am Ex lounge in the Studios. I hope I can find it, as I've never tried before.

Have a great week-end! -

Hi

It's been a long week...so glad that I have the weekend off for once.

I visited my brother in the hospital a few days ago...he went in for an operation to clear up a blocked artery in his leg and it turns out he's been walking around with pneumonia for awhile ...to make a long story short...he wound up on a ventilator and almost died. I'm so grateful to still have him in my life. The good thing is it made him finally quit smoking as well as my niece and nephew.

DD Danielle called me last night and said she just hydroplaned and was stuck in the mud on the side of the road...she didn't tell me how close she came to sliding down an embankment and crashing if she had slid a foot to the side. Let's just say that all my prayers to keep my loved ones protected are working.

No plans for the weekend... just going to hang out at home and get a few much delayed chores done....maybe

Never watched The Conjuring... I might have to find it on Netflix although if it has creepy doll things I'll probably have to sleep with the light on

Hope everyone has a great weekend

[tink1957]

Thanks mac...bro is doing much better now...he still has his operation to go but the Dr wants his lungs to heal a little more.

Just playing ketchup on the last few days and I can't believe that I missed the great birthday controversy...it is August 1 by the way although celebrating for two days sounds fun. It's funny ....my ex used to think think it was on the 2nd too...one of the many reasons that he's my ex.

We are at 7 stays this year. We missed Feb, Mar, and Apr. I was busy working on our home theater so there went that money. Lol. We could not do both but back to the trips for now.

Most trips are just one night 2 days with being so close. As you know being Platnium, FL and AP rate , plus our strict budget it is very reasonable for the weekend.

Yep, we can't wait for October. It will be nice having 5 days with everyone. I'm glad we split our normal 10 day stay in the summer to spend it in October with everyone. Forgot to say thanks for the hugs. The main reason for this trip is DS wants to go before school starts. Like he's never been, lol.

 

[KStarfish82]

Thanks for all the kind comments! Chris certainly loves the water...but unfortunately, he is on dry land for the next few days.

Turns out that he picked up Coxsakie Virus from the pools at Sesame Place! Not serious, but an unsightly skin rash and blisters in his mouth. Should be good as gold in a few days.

Well we are headed to the Poconos for the weekend...let's hope the weather is good!

Have a good one everyone!
