Something About Nothing ... #12

[Charade67]

Still waiting.....

 

[Charade67]

And........we have snow. So what am I doing on this snow day? Gathering documents for tax purposes. What fun. i just went through all of our medical records. Now I just have to wait for all the official stuff to show up.

 

[schumigirl]

Hope the snow isn’t too heavy Charade.......it’s never fun.........

Supposed to be ultra cold here........never materialised. But, was still cold. Still enjoyed a day at home doing not very much.......even had a snooze this afternoon.......woke up and Tom had covered me in a blanky as I was through in the room at the back of the house.......woke up and it was dark.

Love days like that.........

Tonight watched Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon (love him) kinda spooky..........good movie.

Hope everyone’s having a great Saturday.......

 

[Charade67]

Hope the snow isn’t too heavy Charade.......it’s never fun.........

So far not too bad. It has stopped for the moment, but should be starting up again in a few hours.

 

[schumigirl]

Glad to hear it.......the wind is picking up here but to be very cold tomorrow.......need to go for some fresh groceries....that’ll be as far as we go.


Almost bedtime here........have started watching Central Intelligence with The Rock and Kevin Hart......he’s so funny!! But think I’d rather have an early night.......I’m sure we have this DVD though somewhere........

 

[Monykalyn]

.sorry, it’s Kyle’s birthday on Monday not Tom’s

OOPS-my tired and distracted brain wasn't fully functioning apparently-but I do hope Kyle has a great Birthday!!

Been looking at car rental prices for September.........staying for a month, the prices are never going to be good, but wow!!!! We always use Alamo but even they are through the roof......but I suppose it is for a month. Just have to pay and smile......

Yeah car rentals are never great-hope yours and Sue's go down.

Charade-we didn't get any snow at all so far-a stray flake maybe, but all rain. KC is getting hit, and st Louis got buried: another good reason why we decided on Springfield instead of STL.

The chickens were not happy this am when I went to check on them and let them out today-cold, rainy. They came out for treats and went back to nice snug coop. Rain let up briefly earlier, and they cam back out-cleaning up scraps the birds left from the hanging suet cake. And cuddle chicken has decided to start giving eggs again.

Potato soup in crockpot-I do love my crockpots too Schumi!-thought I'd have to go out for bacon, but nope -rummaged around in freezer and couple pounds found; crisis averted.

Oldest kid went to advisor yesterday, to talk about classes/schedule. Looks like she may end up with 2 degrees! one in geography and one in geology.

Looks like fun @Lynne G!

Central Intelligence with The Rock and Kevin Hart..

My husband and son love that movie. I haven't seen it.

Stay warm!

had a fab day on the boards today, and Tim Tracker has just uploaded a new video, off to watch that now!

Bon Voyage Lynne! We loved Key West. A few years ago we decided to do a little road trip down. That drive! We still had my moms condo in Ft Lauderdale, and I got a Sheraton email offer from CAA that was really too good to pass up at The Key West Sheraton Suites. So I booked 3 nights. Wish I booked longer! Guess that means I’ll have to go back! I wanted to go to Hemingway’s House, and do an Eco Kayak tour.

Monykalyn glad snow averted! And bacon crisis! My husband and one of his friends have decided to try smoking their own. They’ve repurposed some old wine or beer fridge or something to convert it to a smoker. I don’t know! Anyone ever watch the Red Green show?

Schumi- I remember the song Take The Money and Run! Great band.

We are waiting for the second wave to start. Church has been cancelled for tomorrow. We are watching the KC/Indianapolis football game. It looks like the snow is coming and going.

Bon Voyage Lynne! We loved Key West. A few years ago we decided to do a little road trip down

The first year dh and I lived in Miami we decided to go to Key West for Thanksgiving. We had our Thanksgiving meal at Benihana. We shared a table with a German couple who were currently living In Atlanta, Ga. We had just moved from the suburbs of Atlanta. Later we learned that our Japanese-American chef had grown up in my hometown of Marietta, Ga and had graduated from a high school that was my school’s biggest football rival.

Hello to Spike.

 

[pattyw]

Hi all! Behind again here! Joe and I are in Raleigh, NC for the weekend! We enjoyed a hockey game yesterday. Sadly, our Buffalo Sabres lost! But, we're Hurricanes fans, too so Yay Hurricanes!!

Today, we went to The Pit for NC Barbeque!! Yummo!! Visited the Science museum, too!

This evening we went to Cary, NC for the NC Chinese Lantern Festival. So pretty!!







Chilly night here!! 38 degrees! But balmy compared to 18 back home!! Brrrr!!!

Hope all my friends here are well!

to all of you!

Have a great evening!!

 

[macraven]

Yep- Troy's on cat sitting duty!!

We're having a lot of fun! Love it here We'd love to live here someday! But we still have many other places to explore!

Pattyw beautiful pics, esp the swans. Enjoy your weekend away.

Charade my brother lived in Marietta while going to the Chiropractic Univ. there. I went for a quick visit once, really only flew into Atlanta, stayed with him 2 days then we both drove together down to N. Miami to see the folks. Long drive but gave us time to catch up.

Monykalyn our friends have chickens, we love getting fresh eggs from them. They have a tarp awning rigged up so they can go out but be undercover from the rain. It rains so much here!
But we had sunshine today!

Spike 101 Welcome!

Schumi Happy Birthday to Kyle! Central Intelligence, I must look it up, haven’t heard of it. I was trying to watch Vera tonight but keep getting distracted by being online, lol. Hopefully I’ll get to sleep. It’s almost 11pm here. You’d think I’d be exhausted with being up all night last night. I had a nap after I got home today and think that’s the problem!

I survived my procedure today, glad that’s behind me

When I lived in NC I never knew about the lantern festival. I’d love to go sometime.

When I lived in Marietta it was Life Chiropractic college. I understand it is an actual university now.

I napped too much this afternoon and now I can’t sleep. The downside of a snow day.

 

[schumigirl]

Sue, it`s a good movie......if you don't like Kevin Hart though you won`t like it......I think he`s hilarious so I love most things he`s in...….yes, naps are lovely, but it`s trying not to sleep for too long that's the secret......hope you slept well!!!


It was supposed to be freezing this morning...….nope......low 50`s and pleasant...….

Did go out shopping for few bits and pieces.

Kyle has asked for a flourless chocolate cake for his birthday tomorrow...….can`t believe he`ll be 25!!!! Where does the time go!! But, he`s out tonight with friends and for his actual birthday he has no plans except with us.....so takeout pizza and chocolate cake for them...….made it today as it`s better next day.

Anyway, quick drive by......hope everyone has a fabulous and relaxing Sunday...…..

Thanks!!

I think it's an annual event. It's simply amazing!!

to Kyle, Schumi!!


Off to another Hurricanes hockey game this afternoon! Nasty here today- cold and rainy! Some spots north of here got some freezing rain! After the game, we're checking out some real estate- in case we want to move here in a few years! We really like the Raleigh/Durham area!But, I don't know- we're really attached to our snowblower!

Have a great Sunday all!!

 

[Charade67]

So far the snow has been a little underwhelming. We didn’t get nearly as much as we did last time. Unfortunately we got a lot of sleet and freezing rain overnight, so I don’t dare try to drive anywhere today. B is upset because her tap rehearsal got cancelled.

Patty - I used to live in Greenville, NC and would frequently go to Raleigh to shop. Keep the snowblower. You won’t use it as often, but will still need it on occasion.

 

[Monykalyn]

So cold-had to go out a bit for today to our club's storage unit. Was warmer yesterday with snow chances! Chickens were out though-as long as it isn't wet they come out.
Patty-looks like a fun weekend!

Anyone ever watch the Red Green show?

Yes LOL!

I survived my procedure today, glad that’s behind me

I see what you did there! Glad it is over.

I had craving for chocolate cake last night (must be from knowing about Kyle's chocolate cake), so attempted a mug cake. Was ok and hit the spot.

Laundry day, and stuff for work and stuff for meetings for club...trying to decide if I am ambitious enough to make dinner tonight-can always throw stuff in pressure cooker

At least Las Vegas will be a bit warmer-another chance for snow here Saturday.

Darn! I figured it could be our lawn decoration!

Charade- hope the weather improves for you!

We return home tomorrow. Looks like the temps will rise this week, but next weekend we head into the deep freeze!! Single digit low temps!! Ick!!

At least Las Vegas will be a bit warmer-

Yay! Have fun!! I'd say can't wait to hear about Vegas, but I guess they say "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!"

Going out for some seafood tonight!

Have a great evening all!!
