Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Older one has no classes today, and little one is off, as most of our school district schools are polling places. Well, they just called, he voted, and they voted to go get coffee. Older one asked if we had tortillas, as he wants chicken tacos for dinner. Yay! Tacos are us, even if no Taco Bell run. Er, maybe I'll do one for lunch. It's such an icky day. Still dark and wet. On my radar, huge dark green and yellow line getting way too close. Lunchtime rock and rolling with rain.

Morning Sans family .

Big mug of coffee in hand this morning. Sun is shining this morning and the leaves are blowing.

Happy belated birthday to your son Lynne



Had a nice Halloween Party....it’s always nice to enjoy time with everyone. Here are some food pics from party.

Loving all your pictures Robo. Thanks for sharing. Halloween food looks so good, and beautiful Christmas trees and decor. Glad to hear you have sun and enjoying a mug of coffee. A good, wet morning here, and drinking tea, as almost once again, too cool inside.

Keisha i’am usually farther along with Christmas purchases too, but I have a few done.

Need to get some wrapping paper. I used to do elaborate wrapping of packages with ribbon, bows etc. They were nice to look at, but not very practical. The little ones just want to get into packages easily.

We have a house full of family on Christmas Eve and I love having the family together.

Morning Lynne .

Hope you and all in your family are well.

I’am going to get scooting this morning I need to go vote and run some errands this morning.

Halloween decorations are down and Christmas Trees are up.

WOW!! So beautiful! The trees are amazing!! You could charge admission to view your decorations!!

And your Halloween treats- they look too good to eat! But I would!!!

 

[macraven]

For sharing those pictures Robbie!

Gorgeous and so stunning


Finger food is so cute!

 

[pattyw]

Robo- just have to say again that your decor is fabulous! Eating a late lunch now- and I'm admiring the pictures again!! Wish I had a finger cookie, too!

Busy afternoon here! Will vote on my way home from work! Maybe a chalupa run afterwards?? Then a lazy night! Still tired from the driving! What do you call that- it's not jetlag? maybe carlag???

Had a nice day with temps low 70’s

But it won’t last for later this week

Have some appointments coming up and have to get up early a few days this week

The life of being retired is nice so a couple of early mornings not a bad thing

Been reading on sites about walking dead show of Sunday

I like the show for entertainment and not to micro analyze

Wondering if Buckeev is still in Orlando

Hope all the homies are doing fine!

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! Sunglasses will be needed today. The pesky thought of more rain on Friday is not going to mess with the thought of seeing the sun today.

Good Morning homies! Mac, hope all goes well with the appointments. I always like when they are early, then you have the rest of the day to relax.

Patty, hope your night was peaceful, and a good sleep was taken. Long rides are tiring. At least your flights in a few weeks, will cut down on the driving this month.

With that, another spring in my step, yep, it's Wednesday. And that means, yes homies, the middle day of those who keep track of the work week. So, hump day it is, and hello camel. . He's enjoying the break of a nice sunny, cool day. With that, I need tea, and back to routine. Decided, since we recognize the holiday on Monday, why not have a 4 day week-end. Oh yeah, something to look forward to. And hopefully, breakfast out with older one on Friday. Woot!

Wonderful Wednesday to you all. May all the homies have a great day, and feeling good. Mummy dust to those that need some, and hugs for all that need that too.

How many of you still have a bowl of candy left from Halloween?

We are now down to only Hershey bars left

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. We had a pretty good day yesterday despite the rain. I got to sleep in (yay!) and then went to vote. B and I then went to brunch and I ate too much. Afterwards we went to a store that sells all wooden furniture and I let B pick out the bookcase she wants for Christmas. I put down a deposit so they will hold it for me until I can make arrangements to get it to the house. We were going to go back home and watch a movie, but B mentioned that she wanted to do something to display all of the theater playbills that she has collected over the years. We decided to shop for that instead and she ended up going with a large magnetic white board and binder clips.

Robo - Your decorations are gorgeous. I would love to be able to decorate like that at Christmas.

Macraven - We still have Hershey bars left. They won’t last much longer.

Almost time to leave for work and get B to school. I’m submitting my second deposit for the Orlando trip today.

 

[Lynne G]

We had no candy left, as gave my DB the rest of our left over to hand out on Halloween. But that's fine with us. There will be holiday treats soon. And yesterday, after doing some errands, ended up with some bakery treats and mochi, the latter the kids like much more than me. Though the blood orange ice cream middle in one, was delicious.

Nice you have the large gift picked out for B., Charade. Little one needs a new desk, so that's what I'm on the hunt for. Got her a huge basket, that fits perfect on the floor of her closet, so she dumped all her shoes in it. Much more tidy that way. And a big WOOT!, for more money payment towards trip. Always nice to pay off before leaving.

Patty, hope your night was peaceful, and a good sleep was taken. Long rides are tiring. At least your flights in a few weeks, will cut down on the driving this month.

Thanks! Yep- bed for me by 10:00pm and slept a little later than I should have this morning! Flying is definitely the way to go!!

How many of you still have a bowl of candy left from Halloween?

It's dwindling! I've been eating a lot of it! That bad habit has to stop!!

I’m submitting my second deposit for the Orlando trip today.

Happy Wednesday!! Love the hump day camel, Lynne!!

Have a good day all!!

Your SW/Starbucks pic is a hoot!

Hi everybody

Love all the cool holiday trees Robo, you have a gift for decorating.

Charade, I got my Christmas and birthday presents out of the way today for Danielle. I finally talked her into a trip in December to go to the Orlando Informer event and see all the Christmas decorations in the parks. This is the most last minute trip we've ever booked and I am beyond excited


Got a great rate from SW vacations that was cheaper than our AP rates.

Now I have to lose 30 lbs in 30 days.......well....maybe 10.

Hope you passed all your tests with flying colors mac

Sasha found a leftover Hershey bar from Halloween in the couch...glad she didn't eat it ...she gave it to me as a gift I guess.

The pups are getting along well and love playing tug of war with the stuffed bunny I gave them.

Have a great night homies

Hey all. Nice day here, youngest stopped for breakfast and a hair cut. I’ve gotten pretty good with clippers over the years after having 3 boys. Produced a pretty wicked fade this morning. I always get an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach though, what if i slip and do an oops?

Sounds great!

Put my pajamas on when I got home from my hair salon appointment- at 7:30! A little rum, a little Monday Night Football and off to bed!

Lynne-hope you have a better night's sleep tonight!

Good night all!!

First time I’ve heard of somebody having an appt at the salon ‘after’ a trip

I've done 4 Florida drives this year January, June, August, and November! Luckily we drove only one way and flew the other way! That was exhausting enough! Hopefully we're done with the driving now!

I bought the Thx tickets shortly after they went on sale in May- yikes they were high! Never thought they would go down but they did!! Our flight down on 11/21 is only $129 and the way back on 11/24 is $232. They started out at around $252 down and $344 back! Nice credits for us, too!!

Love to hear stories like this when it works out so well with credits.

I went to write a post about an hour ago and managed to fall asleep before I even opened my iPad.

Today was payday and brilliant me managed to shortchange myself by 10 hours. We don’t have any type of time keeping system. I just write my hours on a time sheet. I didn’t add my hours correctly and my boss didn’t catch it either. She offered to write another check, but I told her she could wait and add it to the next pay period.


I was at Universal the week before Christmas last year. It was really crowded, but still a lot of fun.


Some forecasts are showing snow in our area next Wednesday. I don’t think we have ever had snow in November for all the years I have lived here.

I have already started a little shopping too. THe only thing B has asked for is a bigger bookcase. I have no idea what else to get for her. Both she and dh have birthdays coming up too.

Since B is off school tomorrow I decided to take the day off too. We were going to go to the drive through safari park, but we are supposed to get more rain tomorrow.I am trying to figure out something that we can do indoors.

What is it with kids wanting furniture for Xmas lol? My GD asked parents for a loft bed. I was asked to buy chair, perhaps the desk depending on how far along I was in gift buying process. Was nervous until they said IKEA, phew.

Morning Sans family .

Happy belated birthday to your son Lynne

You have outdone yourself. Missed 2nd career as a decorator! I still have a few large halloween figures drying out in my living room. Not sure when the big tree will be making an appearance this year. The mr loves to do it on Friday after Thanksgiving but i’m Usually tired from being up early that day shopping online, then out with the masses.

Keisha i’am usually farther along with Christmas purchases too, but I have a few done.

Need to get some wrapping paper. I used to do elaborate wrapping of packages with ribbon, bows etc. They were nice to look at, but not very practical. The little ones just want to get into packages easily.

We have a house full of family on Christmas Eve and I love having the family together.

One thing i did buy early this year (last month) was wrapping paper. Waited too long last year and wasn’t happy with the selection.

This deserves a separate post! I just updated the rate thread rather mindlessly and finally noticed it was you!

Congrats on scoring a great deal. This time will miss you by 5 days? Getting closer lol.

Hi Janet, guess we posted at the same time
