Something About Nothing ... #12

[pattyw]

Glad pattyw stopped by

My suggestion to pattyw is .....
Don’t sleep with Joe so you won’t get his cootie flu bug

Too late!! I'm making him walk around the house with a tub of Clorox wipes!

Funny- he got his flu shot and has the flu; Troy and I didn't get the flu shot this year and so far, no flu for us!

So we ran into the Whos again a couple days after our first encounter. This time we had a surprise for sleepy Mariah. A Not Yet pin! She was thrilled.

Such a cute picture!!
Thanks again for taking time out to stop by and have a drink at the Hard Rock with Joe and I. We had a great time talking!! Hope to meet again on a future trip!

 

[Squirlz]

We'll buy the drinks next time Patty!


Editing to add; Molly was somewhat perplexed by it all:

"So how do you know these people again?"

"I don't, we just post on the same thread in the Universal section of the Disney board."

"What's the thread about?"

"It's about nothing. And anything. I don't know how to explain it."

"We can drink though, right?"

Two days before Christmas and we have our windows open. We are having such a nice day today.

Oldest daughter is sick

Get well wishes to her.

I keep putting off going to Walmart for groceries but at the point I will do that this morning
I avoid crowds as much as possible so will get it done before noon today as most will be in church until then

I hate grocery shopping, but we have nothing to eat in the house. I just survived a trip to Kroger.

Joe has the flu!! I'm ok so far, hoping to stay well!!

Get well wishes to Joe. Hope you are able to avoid the flu.

So we ran into the Whos again a couple days after our first encounter

Great picture.

I am trying to get the motivation to do some laundry and maybe clean my closet.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, and a mall trip after grocery shopping yielded low black leather boots for me, the cutest European slippers that have rubber soles that pop off, sky high gorgeous black suede heels, and a pair of Lucky jeans for little one. Was an organized crowd, not many kids, unlike Friday night, when the parent drop off kids roam until around 9 pm.

Chicken tacos for dinner. And DH came home with a large bag of dry beans. They have been washed, and are soaking overnight. Then the ground beef I had bought will not be burgers, but put in chili. Yep, chicken chili last week, beef one this week. It is winter you know.

Have a wonderful night, we had a lovely 40’s day, with sun most of the day. Snow showers in the overnight, but that is fine. Still will be 40 tomorrow, and the snow moving North by the wee early morning.

Oh my goodness, another sick bay home has been reported here. Sending well wishes to Patty’s DH. Joe, no sharing with the family. Get well.

Schumi, I hope the travel was quick, and you are enjoying the night withyour Scottish family and friends.

Keisha, hope your family is doing well. Don’t blame the dog, or may you can, and have a very happy holiday break with the grandkids.

Wendy, hope your back has healed completely, and you are stronger than the day before.

Ack, kids want food. I think that is a theme repeated more than 3 times a day. I am under a cover, house feels cool to me. Firing up the stove will heat the kitchen. Later homies. I could eat now too.

Quick check in! My goodness some sickness going around- hope the recovery is fast!

Worn out- decided to drive all way through as DH really wanted to see launch this am. Wouldn’t have been bad but omg the traffic in Nashville and Chattanooga yesterday. Lost almost 2 hours. In to Titusville at 3am. DH and dd2 got up to go see launch. Boy and I stayed asleep. At least kids slept in car for quite a bit.
They came to get us after 9 and we spent the day at KSC- walked out at 5:50 pm just before closing. Barely made it to get some takeout (pizza and Chinese) around corner from hotel before DH fell asleep. No rush tomorrow as we are going to Jacksonville to dh’s oldest dd house for next two days. Surprised I’m still awake actually.

Dd thrilled to be at KSC, and met up with this character. She’s also said she’s willing to give up France if we can make HHN an annual mom/daughter trip. Will see if we can make both happen...

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah (late I know), happy holidays, happy festivus for rest of us too!

Glad you enjoyed KSC! We live just 5 miles south of there & watched the beautiful launch this morning in our jammies from our backyard. Save travels to JAX!

 

[Tgrgrl]

I think I’m going to be there April 13-16. Can’t wait to see what the spring break crowds look like.

My oldest daughter will be singing with her school chorus group at Universal on the 13th. I am not sure yet of the place & time but we will be there all weekend so maybe a quick meetup?

That would be great. I don’t know our itinerary yet. I just know that we have 2 Disney days and 2 Universal days. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out.

I thought you lived around here but didn’t know so close to KSC. How cool to be able to see from your backyard!

Should have waved to Mac as we went through Georgia too. Nice that Florida’s sun pass now works in Georgia. Debating on going back to sleep...

Merry Christmas Eve

 

[Lynne G]

And it is a Monday. And Christmas Eve. Wow. This year has been going by so fast.





Yep, kids asked when they get their gifts. Um, tomorrow.

And a hehe,



Have a peaceful one, and stay warm. Cool, damp, gusty, and overcast, so DH is doing errands and will visit his DM, and kids are still sleeping, even with the noisy trash collecting trucks, so control of the television, and tea. Perfect morning.

Will be dropping off some gifts, then lunch with my DM. Christmas is coming homies.

Safe travels MonyK, have fun in JAX. Like your picture and hey, a space kid, nice.

Tgrgrl, hope you have a peaceful morning. Nice all got up to see the launch.

All this talk of Spring trips. Hmmm. Still seeing if I can make that happen.

Hello my people , long time no chat. Hope all are well and ready to enjoy the holidays. No matter which castle gives you the warm and fuzzies, take a moment and reflect upon the meaning of the season. Merry Christmas to the SANs clan!

Thankful to be able to enjoy many wonderful trips this past year, but puzzled as to being 2 for 2 last trips as to coming back home with super bugs that laid me low. Last one had me in bed for over a week with high fever, still dragging tail, merrily hacking the remnants out of my lungs. Crazy, there must be much more rare & exotic stuff circulating in Orlando with all the travelers from far reaches me thinks.

Tonight off we head to my eldest DSs for traditional 7 fishes, sans the fish lol since they aren’t fans of it. DH & I not of that ethnicity, but will have our own seafood fest this week in the spirit of things. Day after Xmas I make a big pot of my meat sauce & and do a buffet of various italian dishes for immediate family.

Tomorrow, off to my SiLs. I will smile till my face breaks . Have to laugh though, both my DH & I have managed to destroy a crown this week and dentist away on 2 week vacation. Calling it a blessing in disguise, won’t be able to indulge quite as much as the norm haha

We'll buy the drinks next time Patty!

Yep- drinking is the BEST part!!

Get well wishes to Joe. Hope you are able to avoid the flu.

Thanks, Charade! So far, so good!!

Sounds like a successful shopping trip!!

Sending well wishes to Patty’s DH.

Thanks, Lynne!!

Sounds like a plan, Monyk!!

Merry Christmas to all my DIS family from all of us!! Your gift of friendship makes it Christmas everyday!

 

[Sue M]

Keishashadow my (adult) daughter always gets sick at Wdw. I guess with so many rides where your touching lap bars, seats, handrails, etc. It’s easy to pass around germs. I make a conscious effort to keep my hands away from my face and carry antibacterial gel or wipes. I also wipe down my airplane tray, arm rests, etc.
Try not to break the face, lol. But I hear you! In-laws!!
Great photos.

Squirlz too funny, we do the exact same thing we warn our children not to do, go meet strangers from on line! Hard one to explain!
Pattyw We all had flu shots but my daughter continues to get colds! She works in a daycare.

So lucky those of you who live close enough to see a KSC launch or are there for one. Every time I go to Florida I say I’m going to look up launch schedule to try to watch one. But it never gets from the thinking stage, lol.

Happy Christmas Eve to all. I’m off to Costco for last minute food items.

 

[macraven]

Your people missed you Keisha !

Hope you are better now and no more being a sickie for the rest of this year

Sounds like you have quite a few days of family time and food

Hope your presents are plentiful and no knocks over the tree...


Sue, happy shopping at Cosco
Time it to avoid the crowds

pattyw, such a lovely picture of the family!

Lynne have a fun time and lunch with your mom

Bet your daughter won’t sleep in tomorrow as present opening time on the 25th

Monyk, next time let me know when you travel on I 75
I’ll stand by the highway and wave when you go by


To all the other homies, have a blessed Christmas

 

[Lynne G]

Presents dropped off, gas to be had, then kids want food. What else is new?

Yay, a peep from Keisha family sick bay. Sending lots of mummy dust to chase away all the sickness.

Sun was out for an hour or so, but overcast and very gray out.

Costco fun. I swear every time I shop there, it is crazy crowded, even when not holiday time. Hope you got what you came for, Sue.

Mac, a very merry Christmas to you and family.

Lunch was good, and now helping DM. Kids are a big help.

Up next, making that chili. Picked up some chili powder, so will be just right.

Lovely afternoon to all.



Ah, nice weather here. A balmy 40, with wind chills in the low 30’s. December 24, why yes it is.

 

[macraven]

Went to the store for potato chips and bread
(Making blt for dinner tonight)

Saw my neighbor across the street from me mowing his yard

We did our last mow few weeks ago and no more for us this year

Haha, we did our last mow in Oct. lawn still green, always is year round, but thankfully it stops growing. Think next year we’ll start using a service!

 

[Sue M]

Costco- wasn’t too bad! We got there at 10:30, so when we walked in the mob who arrived for store opening was all at check outs. Lines were going up aisles. I was just there to get some cheeses, and desserts for tomorrow’s dinner. Scored a Yule Log which were just being put out, and pumpkin pie. Picked up some wrapping paper and we were outta there. The early birds had already cleared out, and there was only 2 people ahead of me, both with only a few items in the carts.

Lynne, I think I’ll make a big pot of chilli after Boxing Day to bring up to Whistler, easy dinner for first night. Great to make in the Instant Pot.

 

[Lynne G]

Nothing like mall shopping with only iced coffee bought and people watching.

Now late dinner, and relaxing. Great way to be on Christmas Eve.

Sue, glad you had a good run at Costco. I only get lines sometimes. I try to be that early bird.

Ha, no lawn mowing since at least October. We have the grass that turns a straw color once dormant until the Spring, late Spring. So our yard is a lovely straw yellow brownish.

 

[Lynne G]

Neighborhood all light up.
