Something About Nothing ... #12

[Sue M]

Storm is bad! Our power just went out! Electronics are all charged - will get the generator going soon!

No hot dinner for us!

Hope everyone else is having a calm Sunday evening!

Yikes! From wind? Stay safe.

 

[schumigirl]

Keisha do you think the winners will keep their speech to the 90 second time line ?

I will switch during wd commercials to check the Oscars and see how that new system works

I’m up, but still haven’t caught up with who won what and who wore what yet......I’m still half asleep.......

It’s always bacon time! We had for breakfast! We get the thick sliced bacon. Yummy.


Best of luck!

Keishashadow sitting here now with my Starbucks latte! Just got back from the mall. My power cord for iPad crapped out! I get the extra long one from Logix esp good for travel, can lay in bed with it plugged in. But this time I thought the 5’ would do it. Will see.
Yeah, not THAT kind of fruitcake. I’m with you on that! Yuck.

No snow today! Even see some blue skies. Yay!

Is there any other kind of bacon!!!! Yep, thick bacon........our bacon in the U.K. is different to the US stuff.......we would call the kind we get in America streaky and usually drape it over our turkey when we cook it, otherwise we don’t ever buy it........

YUM!! Homemade ice cream-WOW!!

Mac- enjoy the Walking Dead!!

Spike- almost time to pack!

Keisha- enjoy the Oscars!



How fun!! So nice of you to help out!


Wind storm is in full force!! Windows are shaking- debris is flying! Even though the wind is gusting to 75 mph it's still nothing as compared to a hurricane. Still very scary here- hoping our power stays on!

Back to some housework!

Ice cream was lovely!! It’s easy and a bit of a cheat though as I have an ice cream maker........

Patty that sounds so scary.......that’s a high wind regardless.....I hope you don’t get any damage and thankfully you have a generator.......least you’ll have power........

View attachment 384635 View from deck on a clear day! See, there are mountains. When we moved here 34ish yrs ago there were no high rises!

That is a beautiful view....even with the high rises........

Ham steak with pasta salad and steamed green beans. Easy dinner.

May watch some of the Oscar stuff, may be not. Know older one will catch TWD.

Woot! Spike has a short countdown and so does Schumi.

End of February coming soon. I am so ready for Spring. Lots of Spring break clothes now in the stores.

Very gray day. Just relaxing is a perfect Sunday evening. Later homies.

Yes Lynne, think we are all ready for Spring.......and I know for us it hasn’t been the worst winter in recent years, but ready for some more sunshine........I love Autumn when it starts as dark nights are so cosy, but by now I’m ready for lighter nights and mornings too..........

Yep, countdown is getting shorter!!




So, we do have fog now......it did start to roll in around midnight........very atmospheric but hate driving in it, so hope it clears quickly.......cold too!!!

Not helping out this morning at nursery, teacher called me last night and said person who had called to say she wouldn’t be in, is now coming in.......so I’m free now..........

Will take DH shopping again......still needs a few bits for wedding this weekend and our trip.......hoping we’re same as where Lynne lives and have some springlike clothes in stock.........

Have a great Monday..........

Patty, hope you got your power back, quick. We lost power around 10pm last night. Apparently, a very loud gust we heard, then boom, lights out. That gust knocked off us, and 849 other customers. Thankfully, the expected 2 hour wait that was the response to we're without electric, happily, turned out to be only a 1/2 hour wait. Guess the kids were all online, as DH and I were already in bed, and kids said, power went out and power came on. Fixed our clock in our bedroom, then if the kids don't fix the phone, and other clocks, I'll have to do that later today. Some of those gusts, so far, were very loud. Cool start too, 35 out. And bad hair alert. I was so happy, no puffy hair when I got out of the shower. Uh huh, poofy hair after walking outside. Ack.

And routine it is. I'm like, oh, already took off my jacket, plugged in my phone and turned on the light, when I was ready to do that. Sigh. DH was not a good sleeper last night. Which means, neither was I. One of those days.

With that, tea is needed. Almost too warm in here. And The Purge posters everywhere. Yeah, we're not HHN fans, just moving buildings later this year, so encouraging all to lessen the number of boxes being moved. I've been trying every so often. I have lots less than others. So there's that.

 

[Tygerlilly]

Well, I didn't win the big prize, but I did win a month of boot camp classes! Thanks for the good luck. I still had a great time and met with our dj. Had some great lunch at the casino and samples at the expo, and got to show my mom the actual floor Owhere the wedding will be.

Supposed to be in the 60s today and high 50s tomorrow. Hope to get the girls out of the house today for a bit.

 

[macraven]

This month is passing quickly for me!

Where did all the time go?


Have a great week homies !

Yikes! From wind? Stay safe.

Yes- winds were gusting at over 70mph!

Ice cream was lovely!! It’s easy and a bit of a cheat though as I have an ice cream maker........

Patty that sounds so scary.......that’s a high wind regardless.....I hope you don’t get any damage and thankfully you have a generator.......least you’ll have power........

Thanks! Luckily, no damage at our house. Power came back on last night- generator kept us with heat and some lights during the outage!

What a bad wind storm!! I saw that it was all over the east! Good your outage was only brief!

I still had a great time and met with our dj. Had some great lunch at the casino and samples at the expo, and got to show my mom the actual floor Owhere the wedding will be.

Glad you had a good time at the show! Sounds like the wedding plans are coming together!

Happy Monday all!! Yikes- what a Sunday it was! Thankfully, our power is back, no damage to our home. Neighborhood looks good, too! Saw footage of many trees down, fell on houses. People were injured when a couple of light poles fell. All schools closed here. No flights taking off from the airport this morning. Many still without power. Winds are supposed to calm by this afternoon. I'm spending the morning at home. I'll head to the office this afternoon.

 

[Lynne G]

Lucky, our gusts were 50 to 60 mph ones. Trash day for many, and lots of trash and cans to drive around. Office windows are whistling again.

Glad to hear you got your power back, and no damage, Patty.

Oh well, Tyger, at least you won something, and had a good time at the Expo. Nice weather, I'd be outside too.

Here, very windy, cool, and now sunny. Good thing little one leaves pony tail ties in the car. I'll be borrowing one, when I do my lunchtime walk.

Morning all! Hey, at least it's the shortest month, Mac.

 

[macraven]

Pattyw
What an awful night you and joe and the cats had !!!

Glad you stayed safe

 

[schumigirl]

Glad Patty and Lynne weren’t blown away last night!! Patty sounds so awful where you live, hope it’s eased and glad you have power again........

mac.......February has just disappeared!!



Well, total change of outfit for wedding this weekend........I saw a short jacket that would go lovely with a dress I’ve had for a while, but never worn.....perfect for a wedding but didn’t have a dress jacket to go with it.......I have now.....

So, will pop back into to town tomorrow and get a new fascinator to go with it.......I could wear the black or nude one I have already, but one I saw today would be lovely and suits this outfit better......didn’t get the jacket till later......

Feel happier with this outfit. Shopping was fun today!!

Fish and chips from the chippy tonight for dinner........battered cod and chips for three, four if Kyle isn’t alone......and our farmer friend handed in a home made Apple Pie.........you don’t get any nicer than that!!!

Time for a cuppa..... been a long day.....

 

[pattyw]

Yep- bad hair day, indeed!! Pulling my hair up, too!!

Pattyw
What an awful night you and joe and the cats had !!!

Glad you stayed safe

Thanks! The cats had fun with the battery operated candles I had put around the house! They thought they were glowing toys!

We're lucky- thousands are still without power! Time for a second cup of coffee and heading off to work!

On a warmer note- I have our room reservations all set at HRH for our fall trip!!

 

[pattyw]

Patty sounds so awful where you live,

Yep- it's been more awful than usual this winter! That's why we head to Orlando as much as we can!

Your dinner sounds scrumptious as usual!

 

[Lynne G]

Well, the large hospital near where we live is without power, and so is our local school. Little one is steamed they are not letting the kids out early.


Almost ready for my walk. Bundled up, sunglasses on, and tied up hair. Hope your work goes fast Patty, and the coffee was good.

Nice outfit, Schumi. Glad the shopping was successful, and yum, home made pie. I'll pass on the fish though.

 

[Sue M]

Patty & Lynne glad everyone is safe. I hate wind storms. So many big trees around here. It really makes me nervous.
Lots of property damage from falling trees or large branches.
Love the battery op candles! Best invention ever!

Mac what did you think of TWD ep last night? This season is very interesting. Hmmm wonder what that red sign is at the end.

Schumi glad you found something for wedding you really like, post pic when you get the fascinator!

Off to Costco this morning. Must get printer ink and toothpaste! Sunny and 34 now. To go up to 39f.
We’ve been getting marine fog some mornings. That bit of water you see down below in my photo is the head of an ocean inlet. And the fog creeps up along the inlet. It can be sunny at our house but go down the hill and you’re in the fog.

56 days countdown to Florida! Deerfield Beach first before Universal.

 

[schumigirl]

You have fog coming in from the sea too Sue.........we get it a lot here.......love it usually.......and it cleared before lunchtime today which turned into a beautiful day.......

And shameless brag about our weather........warmest February for years........here by the coast we had 63F!!! I’ve never known this for this time of year.........

South Coast have had folks on the beaches!! And temps into the 70’sF.......this time last year we were enduring the vicious Beast from the East...........

 

[Charade67]

Just a quick post while I am on lunch break.
I didn’t watch any of the Oscars last night. I’ve only seen one of the nominated movies.
We had strong winds yesterday, but apparently not as bad as some of you. No power outages in my area.
The dance showcase went well, but was very long. Of course B’s dance Was fourth from the end.
Gotta get back to work. It’s a slow day today and I’m trying to keep from nodding off

 

[Tygerlilly]

Got amazing news on the financial front. It's turning our lives around by 10000%. I was mildly stressed about paying for the wedding but this changes everything and we can have the wedding and honeymoon we want without stress.

It's 60° and nice out, but soooo windy, so no outside play for us.

 

[pattyw]

Almost ready for my walk. Bundled up, sunglasses on, and tied up hair.

Yikes- not good on a hospital without power! Enjoy your walk! At least the sun is out!

56 days countdown to Florida! Deerfield Beach first before Universal.

Love Deerfield Beach!

And shameless brag about our weather........warmest February for years........here by the coast we had 63F!!! I’ve never known this for this time of year.........

Good to know it's been a mild February somewhere!

The dance showcase went well,

That's great! Proud moment for you and DH!

Plugging away at work! Hope everyone's having a good afternoon!

Fantastic news!!! Isn’t it njce to hear good news like this........so much doom and gloom around.......congratulations!!!! And even happier planning.........

I enjoyed the episode Sunday
I have watched walking dead since the first show
Some seasons ragged on but I still faithfully watched

All I will say is I feel the red letter A leans towards the sign that something is negative

Some of our readers do not like spoilers to be listed so I will leave it at that

I regularly read the site Spoil the Dead forums besides other sites

Hey you are on a countdown for a trip again!
Hope it is a marvelous vacation

 

[Sue M]

Schumi I enjoy the marine fog too. But if it’s too bad driving in it is not fun! Now I’ll have to take a pic next time we have fog! It’s so cool being above it looking down, it looks like a fluffy white blanket over the inlet! I’m jealous of your temps. We’re usually a lot milder than we’ve been. And our summers are much hotter. Global warming ugh.

Patty, Deerfield Beach is a gem isn’t it? We found a mom & Pop hotel along A1A a block up from the beach that we just love. The small staff is lovely, like family. Very well run and we get a room with full kitchen. Been going there for years since we sold moms condo. My mom is in Coral Springs so not too far a drive.

Charade glad everything went well with B’s dance and no power outs!

Tygerlilly always nice to get good financial news.
