Something About Nothing ... #12

[pattyw]

Happy Thursday evening all!! Beautiful evening here!- for now! The midwest storms are coming our way tonight and tomorrow. We're expecting some heavy rain here. Yuk!

Robo- We're getting close to our trips!

Charade- hope you can chaperone the trip! B must be so excited!!

Kohlby- enjoy the parks and cram in all you can!

Lynne- So exciting!! I think it's nice they have MNSSHP now in August- we used to go in late August when the kids were young and would have loved early parties! and early F&W!

Monyk- Yep- I'm still trying to find a really good vacuum that picks up cat hair and litter!

Thursday is coming to an end and I'm reading to ketchup here.

Hope all the homies are doing fine and have a great night.

 

[Lynne G]

Hope you are doing fine too, Mac.

So fitting, it is Fryday. That’s right. National Potato Day.

Hey y’all,

So happy about that.

Overcast again, muggy again, damaging storms to come in the later afternoon. Welcome to our dog days of summer.

Short week for me too, Patty. Decided yesterday. Hope Troy made it in timely, and safely home last night. Even with rain, I am sure it is nice to have him home again. Enjoy, and eat. LOL

Schumi, hope you have been enjoying your day so far. Hope the delivery of your new outdoor furniture was exactly what you wanted.

With that, I need tea, and to do a mom double holler to get up, it is your last day of camp work. Man, this summer has flown by fast.


Make it a fabulous, potato eaten Friday.

Hope Keisha had fun at the party last night. Buckeev and Bobbie, hope you are enjoying a coaster or two. Safe travels to all, as well.

It’s getting closer to September now
And many peeps will be in Orlando

Good morning

Just popping in to say hi

Not much happening here just working 8 of 9 days. Ant bites are still itchy.

Yep mac, HHN trips are getting closer...I can almost smell the chainsaws

Time for my 2nd cup.

Hope everyone is doing well and have a wonderful weekend

 

[macraven]

Tink is your son and friend going with you for your vacation?

 

[tink1957]

Tink is your son and friend going with you for your vacation?

Yes, that's the plan. Austin has never been to HHN or the motherland so it will be fun to show him the sights and hopefully get another victim...cough, cough...partner in crime to enjoy the parks.

Good Morning!

So glad its Friday! No plans for the weekend (except keep my sofa company)

To clarify is the dark side USO or Disney? I get so confused sometimes.... I want to make sure Im referring to the correct dark side.....

Josh Gad (the voice of Olaf from Frozen) is at USO this week with his family. He's tweeting out some funny pics. He tagged Emma Watson in a photo of him standing infront of the hogwarts castle (saying he visited her Alma Mater) . I dont do much twitter- but I enjoyed seeing his pics!

Im off to pretend to work-

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning. Super exciting day today. I get to clean AND do laundry. Maybe later I will go out and find a frame for B’s senior picture.

I'm not sure when the Orlando band trip will be, but I'm guessing sometime in March. We got the stuff for the fundraiser yesterday. Now we just have to sell. I really hate doing school fundraisers, but will make an exception for this one.

Time to stop procrastinating and start cleaning.

So.Dang.Hot!
Went to Disney Springs yesterday evening and tried out the new Chicken Guy "Fast Food" joint. Outstanding! (In my expert opinion. And there ain't much that I'd consider myself an "expert" on, but Chicken Tenders is one of them.)
They have an incredible selection of Sauces to pick from. (Extra little cups are just four bits ea. Two words: Donkey Sauce.
(Tastes MUCH better than the title!) The inside is very small, with limited seating, but there are tables outside too. 'Cuz of the Houston-like heat yesterday, I opted to Vulture myself over people's tables until I think I scared a nervous exchange student into flying the coop.
Searchin' for shade today.

I was sitting at a lab in the doctor's office this morning when I was reading the Sans.
Couldn't scroll back to see what Tink had said days ago on who was going with her.
Now I am back home and thought "duh".....

I'm so blonde at times.
lol

Got to the lab for 8:00 appointment for the draw and let me tell you, I am not the best morning person when I can only have water.
Did a fasting test so that is not bad at all.
You never really crave food or coffee when you don't have to fast but do get edgy when you know you can't have nothing by mouth.

Sat a long time as the tech asked me for my orders and I just starred at her.
Told her I saw the doctor yesterday here at 3:30 and he put everything for my tests in my chaart.

She claims she can not find them.
So being flippant, I told her to talk to the nurse as no way am I repeating this no food for another time period.....

Worse thing to tell a person that draws your blood.

She took her time and after 30 minutes did find all the orders.

Told her I only use the butterfly needles as my veins scab and stay tender for weeks.
(This is my second blood drawer within 17 days)

She must have hit the same spot from last draw as boy did it sting and burn.

Next round is back on Monday.

Why is it in life that the one thing a person really can't stand to do (blood draws) is the one thing that is involved to get answers.......

I'm coming back as a cat in my second life.




Hey Hey Hey Buckeev!
I was happy when I read you were going to Orlando
And even more delighted you dropped in to see us and fill us in.

I read about that restaurant and was wondering how it was
I watch Guy's tv show and when it was a place in the Chicago area or metro area, would go to the places he ate at and reviewed.
Many were absolute winners!

Hot as Hades there, eh......

Enjoy this trip and keep in touch with us homies here.

Schumi- Good morning! Happy Friday!

Lynne- have to have a potato today!!

Tink- gotta love chainsaws!

Ckmiles- it’s good to pretend work!! Been there! Especially on Friday!

Charade- take some breaks in between chores!!

Buckeev- have a great trip!

Mac- HATE having blood drawn. Always makes me a little queasy!

To everyone else getting started today!!

Having some quiet time with tea - Troy’s sleeping in!!
Have a great day all!

 

[Charade67]

Macraven - I can sympathize with the blood draw. I have deep, hard to find veins. I usually end up with the butterfly needle in the back of my hand. I've donated blood only once in my life and it didn't go well.

Good Morning!

So glad its Friday! No plans for the weekend (except keep my sofa company)

To clarify is the dark side USO or Disney? I get so confused sometimes.... I want to make sure Im referring to the correct dark side.....

Hope everyone has a great day!

Yep......we are the Darkside at USO............

We have cookies!!!!

 

[ckmiles]

Oh Mac- Im so sorry you had such an awful experience. Shame on the technician for not being professional!

 

[schumigirl]

Posted too quick.........

Mac I know I’ve already told you this but glad the blood draws are over!!! I know how much you struggle with them!

Been in bed since around 10am........seemed like a very quick flu bug........busting head, achy joints, tight throat, ear pain and generally feeling like I was going to pass out........not fun in the grocery store!!

Tom got me home and I slept for 5 hours after some pain relief.......

Feel bit better now......but no cooking tonight........takeout pizza later I think.


I’m lucky with blood draws.......my veins are easy to access!!! Almost too much at times.........when I donate blood it’s always easy and no issues. I go regularly to donate, but just realised I haven’t been in a year!! They usually send out reminders when I’m due to go back.......oops!! Must have gone into junk mail and I’ve deleted without noticing.......will call Monday........

I’m laughing as Tom already has the takeout pizza menu in his hand already!! Someone’s happy he’s getting pizza.......

 

[pattyw]

Hope you feel better Schumi! And the pizza will help!

Cool and drizzly here!! Another cup of green tea!

 

[keishashadow]

Woot! Schumi's up and perky, sorry for not such a nice day, but hoping all will be good after breakfast. Happy Thursday, indeed.

Another big WOOT! Buckeev is on the road, and has APs burning in his pocket. Safe travels and have some great fun.

Keisha, how was the EPCOT soiree? Busy? Hope all is better and fun is the word of the day.

And speaking of fun, hope Bobbie and gang are having an awesome time riding those coasters by the lake.

Lest you think I don't think of the weather, here's our weather report, with a bit from the news guy right before him, it's Thursday, that's awesome, the week-end is loading up, and the feel like temp today is 100. Clouds and sun, no rain, but excessive humidity today, but no rain. Chances of rain for the next three days, when another front arrives from the South.

Um, clouds start to the day, lights on the whole ride. Almost cool at 79, but you can feel the moisture in the air already. But not only a very bad hair day, but one that drinks are needed routinely. So fitting, it's Thirsty Thursday.

hehe,

.

So, all have fun today, tomorrow is Friday, and all is right. Make it a good Thursday, and be sure to drink.

Me, tea. Yep, it's time for tea, the AC is in crank mode, so I will surely be hydrated. Later homies.

We watched the FW from bus stop. Free is always nice but big of a snooze vs the MK one. Had the strangest ‘rare’ Characters. Kim possible ? Frozen characters & general ones.

Quite hot & humid. Just sprinkles so far last night. Enough to close pool. To outlets we went. My foot crying loudly resulted in not spending anythIng haha

Tonight’s mnsshp party supposed to be clear as to weather. Not going in until 5 or later. DiL not really into character pics...say whaaaaat?

All pool seats at poly spoken for shortly after 10 am. Glad we hurried back from breakfast at 1900 Park F. OMG the amazing food. Had only done dinner there. Can’t go wrong with mad hatter,Alice & Pooh . If u squint can see my Alice:Cheshire cat skirt yes I’m a geek
