Something About Nothing ... #12

[Robo56]

FORTY DEGREES WEDS MORN!!!?? SERIOUSLY FLA!?

It’s supposed to be in the low 60’s during the day and low 40’s at night for next couple of days then heading back into the upper 80’s.

Robo, if all the sans gang was with you on those floats, we would have kept half the beads around our necks instread of tossing them

JK

(Really .....we would aim to toss the beads around the necks of those wanting them)

I scooped up all the left over beads on the floor of the floats and gave them to the kids who did not have any or very many as I walked out of the park. The adults were having a good time and out reached the littles.

Pattyw great to hear you have some Spring trips planned makes the cold weather easier to handle when you know you are going to get a break.

Lynne glad to hear all are well......yeah to upcoming graduation for your daughter...did she pick her University yet and Major?

 

[schumigirl]

Tygerlilly glad your little one doesn’t need surgery.....always good news!!

mac.......I know who Roy Rodgers is........

Robo, we did the same with beads last year.....we handed out loads to little ones around us.......they loved getting them........



Our visitors have arrived.......they landed at Heathrow this morning and are all sleeping right now........so trying to not disturb them........making food for later right now, and wait for his mother to knock our doors down as she is desperate to see them.......

Sun is shining, but not overly warm.........I did see Orlando weather is warming up nicely for the weekend.....glad to see it.

Hope everyone’s doing good..........

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, Robo, some cooler weather. Hey, better than the 27, with wind chills in the teens tomorrow. We do have a gloriously bright sun, with blue skies. Still too cold for me. 25 out now. I think little one has decided on the University she wants to go to. Her major will be biology, with the school's pre-med curriculum. Hope you are enjoying a nice mug of coffee, with that cool start to your day.

Yay! Almost lunchtime. Yeah, and hat and gloves ready. And sunglasses. Woot!

Schumi, so nice you are hosting, and I am sure some lush food will be served.

Patty, busy days are good days in my book. Means, I get to relax when I am done. With the sun and wind, lots of the snow is gone. Ice around though, and snow showers to come on Friday. Inches from them has yet to be said. At least Sunday will be warmer, so rain. Hope a FLA trip is coming up soon. Little one is begging to travel after school. I am sorta still looking at where.

 

[Tygerlilly]

Good early afternoon. Making up some shrimp Alfredo for lunch today. Been starving and exhausted the last week, I'm guessing due to the stress of the whole broken arm ordeal. Hoping to get our routine and such back in order this week.

Already knocked out 3 loads of laundry this morning, including folding and putting away!

We were pretty excited about our adult only universal honeymoon trip in November, but now that talks of a big family spring trip are getting more serious, we've been considering a smaller trip to save funds for our blow out spring trip. We made the decision to wait until July/August to make any solid plans.

Today I'm making the final settlement payment on a disaster of a decision we made 3 years ago. Combined with paying off our furniture lease last month, we will be in an amazing spot financially. To celebrate, I'm looking into a promotion to Texas de Brazil currently has: 12 50% off meals for $63. I need to double check I can get it and use it for both of us each time, making it essentially 3 meals. But since the price is $55/person normally, it's an insanely good deal if I can use 2 credits at a time.

 

[keishashadow]

Well, #2 in the inevitable chain of 3 has met his maker...into that squared ring in the sky went King Kong Bundy. Thank you for the years of entertainment. Mac will know, as will any old Skool WWF fans. Will never forget meeting the mouth of the south, Jimmy Hart and some scrub wrestler @ US0. They were so kind to take the time to pose for pics and chat up my star-struck kiddo.

We may just bump into 20’s today, feels much colder, uncle already!

Yeah, Luke Perry. Sad and not that old.

Keisha, did you see? SW opened flights inter island and from West Coast this morning. Until October 1. 29 dollar inter island sold out in minutes. Good luck!

I bit bullet over a month ago & settled upon Alaska for all but connecting flight out of SAN (where i still need to book a hotel near the airport for our layover to go home the next day). Alaska had non stop to seattle from PIT, only other one is SWA to LAX.

I think the price was acceptable. From what i’ve Seen of Alaska Airlines, wish they’d offer more flights from PIT:

$755 for both of us heading out, includes being able to pick our seats.

HNL to SAN $520 2 pp

SAN to PIT not much OOP as had credit i needed to use. Had thought i was going to lose it or, gasp, have to book a last minute trip somewhere

Had budgeted $2,000 for airfare, always nice to have that extra $ available to use on excursions.

Would’ve loved the credits in my SWA rewards account but the flights were starting to jump. Really glad i snagged one from SAN, prices have gone thru the roof. I guessed correctly SWA would be raising the gateway flights to their Hawaii hubs - yea.

Am looking forward to seeing if things do pan out to be a convenient/reasonable option to return to Hawaii!

Robo, if all the sans gang was with you on those floats, we would have kept half the beads around our necks instread of tossing them

JK

(Really .....we would aim to toss the beads around the necks of those wanting them)

Lol that sounds fun. Loser buys drinks all the way ‘round.

I wonder if they have issues with ladies ‘working it’ to get beads eek hope not in family friendly park

aissez le bon temps rouler

Charade, no way you look like you are 50.....

When asked their secret to a long life, those spry 100 year olds on the tv claim either: A. good, clean living or B. Profess to be well pickled. Bet the 2nd group had more fun

I'm sorry...you LOST ME at ROOT CANAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Hope ya feel mo gooder!!!)

Queue the music...
"We're leaving..ON A JET PLANE!!!...."
In a few hours...headed to Fort Lauderdale first to pick up C5D4 Paris's new VW BEETLE!...
and THEN...a day or two...or three-ish with Mickey and the Minions...

Still haven't booked much at all, just wingin' it...for the most part. (Flower and garden Fest)...plus the reincarnation of JOURNEY...
FORTY DEGREES WEDS MORN!!!?? SERIOUSLY FLA!?

Food pics i’ve Seen at this year’s F&W seem much more appetizing than last.

Love my sound machine! I'm a light sleeper and Joe snores! I need all the white noise I can get!



Great news!



Words to live by!



Thanks! Still cold, still some snow- but we should get better soon! And we have a couple of spring getaways to give us a warm break!



Great news!



Best kind of Sunday!



Tacos sound yummy!



I actually like fish tacos! and shrimp tacos!!!

Happy Tuesday all!! Sun and 14 degrees! Brrr But sunshine makes everything better! Busy work days for me! Lots of work to get year end financials prepared for the companies I do accounting for! I want to get this completed so that I can begin on all of my family's taxes!

A fresh cup of coffee and having cranberry and almond oatmeal this morning!

I am the epic snorer in my house

 

[Lynne G]

WOOT Keisha. All that plotting and scheming with airfare. Going on an Alaska cruise?

I have a headache, and you should have seen the fast walk I did at lunch. It was cold. And that wind. Brrr.

I think I need more tea.

Hope the headache goes away!

The day has flown by! Still have so much to do today!! I'm taking a quick break to recharge!

Nope see soggier, 2 weeks in Hawaii woot

I shop carefully for air and rental car. Two trip components that you can save enough on, if you do you homework help pay for another trip. I have a semblance of a travel budget That I need to stretch to satisfy my habit lol

Hope the headache goes away!

The day has flown by! Still have so much to do today!! I'm taking a quick break to recharge!

Lol naw I own it...sleep study had me in severe noise range. I doubted it till it was played back to me

 

[bobbie68]

Hi everyone ... I am back to the land of living again.

It has been a rough two weeks health wise and I just couldn't do much especially with a computer. The migraine was around on and off for two weeks. I feel a little better today so wanted to jump on and say hi. I missed so much and can't go back too many pages so I am going to try and grab some things, I missed talking with everyone.

I did go for a sleep study last Thursday night and won't get the results for a couple of weeks. The attendant said I was pretty quiet so not sure if Apnea is my sleep problem. Hopefully will get some answers.

The weather is cold here today also. We got over 10 inches of snow from Sunday to Monday. It is our first big storm and hopefully our last for the season.

Our local wing place has buy 5 get 5 free tonight so going to go with the teens and their friends for some. It is a nice place with great wings. I have been trying to be good not going out to eat to save money. It is hard though.

We have to start looking for prom dresses soon. We decided to try and look at some nice used dress boutiques for it. Liv is not a dress person and it will be a one time wear. I am hoping we find something she likes. She brought home a fundraiser to help pay for some of her senior stuff. She sold a bit so it will help out. They have their 100 night celebration Thursday. I can't believe 100 days and she is done with HS.

Keisha Congrats for your GD. That is such an amazing accomplishment. What a nice pic of her! Wish her lots of luck in the competition. I saw King Kong Bundy several times wrestling. I was a big fan for many years. It is so sad to see that especially now everyone is so young.

Monykalyn How exciting new chicks and helping out an animal and need. I am sure the owner will be relieved it is so hard worrying what is going to happen to your pets when you get sick. I hope it all works out. I am sending Liv to our hair stylist for prom. I am still waiting for the date to give her. I am not good enough with hair to do a nice job.

Sue Glad you are enjoying your new furnace. It is amazing how we forget how it feels after so long. I hope you had a nice family visit and all your food came out good. I hope it warms up for you.

Robo I am so glad to hear that you had a great birthday at Universal . How much fun that had to be on the floats. It is great when we can have such great memories to look back on. Shopping for something you enjoy buying is always a plus.

Charade Sorry to hear about your favorite cashier, that is sad when that happens. B does have beautiful hair and the style is very pretty. We are not sure what Liv wants to do, it will be between her and the hair dresser. I understand about Luke Perry's death besides being sad it hits when you are the same age as him (I am 51 now too.) It really made me think about some things a little differently.

Tygerlilly Sounds like a nice trip next Spring with your family. I am glad to hear that your daughter's arm is better and does not need surgery. I hope it continues to heal.

Schumi The pictures of you guys are so nice. The fascinator looks great with the dress. I just have never thought about wearing one. I am glad you had a great time at the wedding. I hope you are still feeling good from your root canal.

Buckeev have a great trip!

Patty Spring time trips help get through the cold. I am so hooked on my white noise machine I can't sleep without it. I brought it to my sleep study this week and the lady looked a little surprised. I am glad that I did for a sleep study center there was a lot of noise. Your breakfast sounded great this morning. I love oatmeal and cranberries in things. I hope you warm up!

Mac I hope Taco Bell run was good today. I went too. I got a chicken quesadilla. I hope your foot is still on the mend! Yay a dry day! It is so much easier to walk with the boot in that!

Lynne Oh I sympathize with headaches. I hope you are feeling better. It's interesting one of the few things that help mine is ice packs and the cold. I think mine is a lot of swelling so it goes down. I hope your tea helps you feel better too! The pictures of the garden flowers were pretty!

I am off to get ready I hope everyone has a great rest of the day and a good night. to any one I missed!

 

[schumigirl]

Love the pics Keisha.......lol.......I’ve heard about those type of bead hunts!!!

bobbie,........glad to see you post again.......hope you continue to feel better.....can’t be much fun feeling like that.....enjoy those wings!! Yes, eating out is so tempting and so easy..........thanks for the compliments on the pictures......I’ll take them!! Lol.......yes, tooth is ok thanks.......



My guests are sound asleep again........long flight has caught up with them all........I’m so glad their plane arrived so early this morning as explosive devices were found at Heathrow and two other places in London........nasty.

Hopefully they’ll sleep right through till the morning. Told them if they need to wander through the night to make coffee of whatever to just carry on, they won’t disturb us......

Must get our suitcases down again too.....I will need to pack before Friday morning as we leave quite early........

Enjoying a peppermint tea right now.........

 

[macraven]

Bobbie, glad to see you post here !
You have been missed

Migraines are miserable and take the life out of you
Crossing my fingers this is the last one you have this year

I’d write more but cats are screaming for food
Will be back later

First I need to do a cat feeding then we are going out to Taco Bell for dinner

I’m feeling like having a chalupa for starters

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, a four hour nap and some drugs. A loud DH and kids want dinner. Headache had made me nauseous, so am cautious about eating. Still have it, but duller than before. Going back to bed.

Bobbie, glad you posted. I hope you have no more headaches. I find sleep and drugs are the only thing that really helps me. Yeah, I make hair and make up reservations for prom. She also goes to nail salon the weekend before. I have to make that appointment too. Yep, she is my little one, so crazy she will be 18 this summer, and in college on her birthday. Those end of August trips will be Fall and Spring break ones. Then family ones continue to be holiday ones. I hear ya on eating out. I try to cook week days. Told the kids to cook up chicken that is in the frig. Lots of freah vegetables are there. Guess that is what they are going to eat. That, or most likely, zap a meal, if any are left.

 

[Tygerlilly]

I just saw a commercial for taco bell's Rattlesnake fries and I wish I had known about them BEFORE we just got home. They look so good!

 

[Sue M]

No Tacos for me! It’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake dinner! This morning went to see work friends, one had a birthday. I brought a cake to the office to enjoy with coffee break. Then had errands. And afternoon nap, lol.

Bobbie glad to hear you’re feeling better.

Buckeev enjoy your Florida trip. Are you spending any time in Lauderdale or driving straight up to Orlando. I hope the weather improves for you. My friend just arrived in St. Pete yesterday and is not amused!

Keishashadow I always fly Alaska, great airline.

Tygerlilly good news about daughter!

Schumi enjoy your company! And more icecream

For the record, I love fish tacos! Lol.

Mac, Lynne, Robo, patty, and any I miss

 

[Sue M]

Lynne, just saw your post hope you’re feeling better soon.

 

[macraven]

Lynne sending you mummy dust and hope you feel better real soon
You are fortunate your kids are so good and helpful to you and they handle food needs on their own

You trained them well

sending hugs to all the homies tonight

Sometimes I don’t address my posts to everyone here but it does not mean I am over looking you

When using my phone to read and post, never been good at multi quoting and direct to replies to all

Now the only homie that has not checked in this evening is charade
so I’ll leave the light on for her so she does not stumble in the dark and go boom


Buckeev is probably having a quick tour of the parks right now

Mr Buckeev, check in time please

Monyk, time for you to let us know about how your chickies are doing
this very cold night

Pattyw, looks like you still have winter and it’s going to be a long time before your thaw

Schumi will be up soon to make bacon for her over night guests
Hope she won’t mind if we all come to join her breakfast hour

A note for Sue, we all will be over for breakfast the next time you make pancakes

 

[macraven]

I just saw a commercial for taco bell's Rattlesnake fries and I wish I had known about them BEFORE we just got home. They look so good!

No rattlesnake fries at the Taco Bell we ate at tonight

I’ll hit the Taco Bell on the other side of town later this week to see if they have them yet

 

[macraven]

Keisha
You have been so quiet tonight and didn’t get you on my roll call above

So you get a solo shout out post!

 

[Monykalyn]

Cold day again. Had unplanned day off as the building I was going to quarantined for flu. Will make up later in month.
Chickies came out a bit today, not happy about snow, checked for scraps under bird feeder then promptly went back to coop. Spoiled ladies.

Sometimes I don’t address my posts to everyone here but it does not mean I am over looking you

Ditto this! I will read and intend to say something and then get interrupted!
Although... I recall @Robo56 saying something about beads, mardi gras float and SANS family...hmmm...plotting for next year??
And ugn-migraine/headaches-yeah dark, quiet, meds and sleep sometimes is only thing that works.

OMG @keishashadow the memes!! I have beads I obtained in N'awlins during a mardi gras season many years ago...hehe sounds bad but no...other"skin" exposed...think the guy on float was new and was just tossing beads. Mardi gras in New Orleans was fun when younger and no kids.

Time for shower and bed. And schumi down to ?4 sleeps til she wakes up in Orlando?

 

[Charade67]

Finally back to post. Today was an annoying day of correcting another person’s mistakes. Another person handles taking the claim payments and applying them to the patient accounts. I keep finding errors that he made, plus if he doesn’t understand something or just doesn’t want to do something it gets passed on to me. I have to be very careful about what I say to the main boss, because the person making the mistakes is her husband. For reasons unknown she won’t just let me do all of the billing.

Our visitors have arrived....

hope you have a nice visit.

Today I'm making the final settlement payment on a disaster of a decision we made 3 years ago.

We had one of those years ago before B was born. It is a mistake we have never repeated.

Well, #2 in the inevitable chain of 3 has met his maker...into that squared ring in the sky went King Kong Bundy. Thank you for the years of entertainment. Mac will know, as will any old Skool WWF fans.

I am not familiar with him, but I am sure dh is. He used to watch wrestling all of the time. He even managed to talk me into going to a WCW event with him.

DH claims I “purr” like a freight train. Well, he snores too. We both have sleep apnea.

I can't believe 100 days and she is done with HS.

B is almost 3/4 of the way through senior year. We’ve already been given lots of information about graduation week. We still need to find something for her to wear for graduation. The rules state dark dress, no prints.

Ooh, a four hour nap and some drugs. A loud DH and kids want dinner. Headache had made me nauseous, so am cautious about eating. Still have it, but duller than before. Going back to bed.

Sorry you are feeling bad again. Dh and kids can get their own dinner. Hope the headache is gone soon.

It’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake dinner!

I’m embarrassed to admit that I had to look this up. How is it that I have never heard of Shrove Tuesday? I was raised Southern Baptist, but still you would have thought I would have heard of this at some point in my life.

Now the only homie that has not checked in this evening is charade
so I’ll leave the light on for her so she does not stumble in the dark and go boom

Thanks for leaving the light on for me.

We were continuing with the Marvel movies tonight. We finished Thor Ragnarok tonight. It’s on to Black Panther tomorrow.
Should probably get some sleep now.
