Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Tink our rain has not started yet but will by noon

Looking at
The weather site not sure if any will hit you
Looks like a direct hit on Atlanta them east and north from there

Hope you only get sprinkles if you do get any rain

Lynn
You bet!
It’s run to the border night

Remember that commercial?

We grilled out last night and made enough food to last for the next few days...burgers, jalapeno cheddar smoked sausages and chimichurri chicken breasts...maybe I'll have some for breakfast since eggs don't sound appealing this morning.

Mac, I hope the rain does hold off for today but I know it's coming later. I got up early and spent the last few hours planting and mulching the flowers that I got a month ago. When you work in a garden center you tend to buy too many plants and I'm guilty of procrastinating about getting them in the ground. Since I hurt my ankle it's delayed the process even more. Glad I finally got the peony Trey gave me for mother's day planted too

A big hi to Lynne, bobbie, patty, tgrgrl,agavegirl, Robbie, Robo, charade, keisha, monyk and Carole...hope I didn't forget anyone and hope you all have an amazing day

Morning! Waiting for my coffee to finish brewing & the girls are on the lanai still trying to make friends with Marshmallow & crew. We actually got her to come into the house briefly last night for some treats. Baby, baby steps.

The big gray cat that has been visiting us finally came up to me and sniffed my hand and let me touch him for a second yesterday so we're making progress too. If I could only get my other male cat Fluffy to stop fighting with him. Fluffy at least let him eat with the rest of the cats so that's an improvement.

I need help naming the grey cat and all I can come up with is Smokey. Any other suggestions are welcome. Most of the others are named after Harry Potter characters...maybe Dumbledore or Hagrid?

Good luck with Marshmallow...it takes time and patience and treats...lots of treats.

That is wonderful news!! Yay Marshmallow!!

Tacos are good anytime

Glad you made it to work and weren’t red tagged

Someday this job thing will be in the past and your time will be your own

And you can become a night owl and join the club

Yep- retirement would be great! For right now, my part-time flexible schedule is really nice! But joining the night owl club would be fabulous!!

But for now:

Yay Smokey!! We have a Smokey, too! It's so hard naming pets sometimes. The boys always veto my first choice! Sounds funny but I've googled baby names and started down the list- they have lists of cat and dog names, too!

 

[Lynne G]

So sweet you're letting Marshmellow get used to the family, Tgrgrl. Bet the kittens are getting big.

Tink, I like Dobby, if you're doing Potter names. I had a Smokey too, but he was dark gray and black stripped short haired tabby.

Tea needs me, er I need tea. Later homies.

Hope all get their work or errands done, Mac included, before the rain hits. Been sunny then overcast, but Mr. Tree has his leaves upside down. Rain will be here today, too.

Tink
Mother’s Day was in May....
It’s almost August and you just planted your mom day flowers yesterday?

I like a person that has the same type of schedule as me..lol

 

[tink1957]

I like Dobby too Lynne...Dobby it is!

I went outside to put up all the planting stuff and Sasha had escaped again I found the new hole she had made and picked up a plastic pot and got something on my hand and neck that felt like a million bee stings...couldn't see anything crawling on either place but both places were red and swollen...it's always something who knows what it was.

I took some benadryl and a long shower...it still stings a bit and Sasha is still out ...I'll let someone else get her back in, I'm done.

I like Dobby! Is Dobby a permanent resident or a visitor?

Oh my! Hope you're ok!! Sasha is a lively one!!

 

[Lynne G]

Big ouch Tink. Sounds like a spider bite. Nasty. Glad you like the name, and hope Sasha returns soon, if not already. Thankfully, all my Dsis got out of moving her planter, was a mouse, with all her babies clinging to her. Scared the crap out of Dsis for a minute. I told her glad they didn't try to get into her house. She has woods starting in the back half of her backyard, so she is used to critters, but still does not enjoy them so close to the house.

Raining, though not quite hard right now. Good thing it did not start until the last part of my lunchtime walk. And the walk took a detour, and Mickey ticket in hand as a result. 60 days is this Thursday, so I'll be doing the Mac hunting for fast passes that morning. And wee, that means a 3 week, and 2 month countdown ticking away. Woot!

 

[RAPstar]

I love Tuesdays. Theres usually very little mail that comes in. Which is nice cause mondays always have a lot of mail. We got in over 400 claims yesterday

 

[macraven]

Lynne good luck with your fast passes

I got what I wanted and minutes after I was done, some parks had a few rides listed as full for the day I plan to be there

I had 7 dwarfs and wanted to change it and nothing was available 45 mi items later
So kept the one I had


Just you and your daughter going this August ?

 

[macraven]

Andy, what dates will you be at the motherland and darkside?

Or is it only one park you will do in October?

 

[tink1957]

Dobby has been hanging around for awhile and I suspect he has been abandoned by his owners as he was big and healthy when he first came to visit but now he has lost weight. I hope to remedy that since Fluffy is letting him eat now.

Sasha is back in her fence with another heavy concrete block in her latest escape route.

The rain has begun how is it at your house mac?

 

[tink1957]

Don't get me started on fastpass...I couldn't get Flight of Passage again this year...guess I'll have to wait in that endless line again.

I got most everything else though and it's to be expected when only going for 2 days in the parks. Guess I'll have to plan a longer trip at the motherland next time.

 

[RAPstar]

Andy, what dates will you be at the motherland and darkside?

Doing one day at Disney Sept 1 to see TSL. Busch Gardens on Sept 2. Then the cruise.

I'll be at UO 10/27-11/04

That's great!! Fluffy has a friend! Does Dobby like Sasha?

Rapstar- Too bad we'll miss seeing you at UO!! Haven't been to Busch Gardens in years! Planning to get AP's for Sea World- I think I'd like the Sea World/Aquatica/Busch Gardens pass! I can't do many rides at BG- so many roller coasters! But love the animals!


Going out for dinner with my mom and my brother who's in town visiting. Beef on Weck with horseradish!! A Buffalo specialty!!

 

[tink1957]

To answer your question patty...no, Sasha does not get along well with cats or any other animals except dogs. They will meet a sad end if they get into her area.

I got productive and ordered Trey and his friend's tickets from UT. They will probably upgrade to APs when we're onsite.

Now I only need to buy our ROF tickets which I might do tonight since I have the time.

Have a wonderful night everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, Mac a sweet 17 trip with little one. Girls trip. Have to buy little one’s Univesral ticket, and will turn it into a season pass after we enter IOA or the Studios. I have to renew my AP too. Ah, expensive month.

Patty, dinner sounded lush and nice to go out with visiting family.

Tink, glad Sasha retuned and hope your stings are not itching and no swelling.

RAPstar, sorry to miss ya too, as always seem to go at beginning of October. Enjoy that cruise, awesome Fall trip for ya.

Dinner over. Little one did not like all the menu items, so off she went. Guessing a WaWa, BK or Wendy’s run.

 

[Lynne G]

BK it was. Seemed my home made burger was not good enough.
