Something About Nothing ... #12

I always found Keisha to be a fabulous trip planner

I keep waiting for her to hang out a shingle and give me the homie discount

Tried the rattlesnake fries last night at Taco Bell
It’s a one and done for me
Ended up going back to the counter for a chalupa

Hi Bobbie, Schumi, Lynne, Keisha, Mac & everyone else!! Happy Wednesday afternoon!!

Keisha- have fun with the trip planning!! My most favorite pasttime!!

Leaving work soon to take Mom on some errands! Early dinner with her and our last night of cat sitting! Between her group and my group of cats, we have scooped so many litter boxes in the last 11 days!! My sister and BIL return this evening! At least the snow has melted and I think it's mild- 40s! But after spending 11 days in St. Lucia & then Orlando they will be freezing!!

We had pasta yesterday- I'm thinking a trip to Ted's- a local restaurant that has the BEST charcoal broiled hot dogs!

See you later!

 

[macraven]

It’s in the 70’s here today
Prediction of 80 for Sunday

 

[schumigirl]

bobbie, coconut oil is fabulous!!! So many benefits to it from cooking to using on your hair.....I occasionally put it on the ends of my hair when I`ve just had it coloured….saves it getting dry.....and use it a fair bit for cooking....

mac...rattlesnake fries....the name puts me off!!! I love jalapenos, but no.....doesn't sound appealing.....and good news on your lovely weather....can you send some over here please.....it is 4c (38f) I need some heat....


Kyle is coming home tomorrow night now.....yay!! They got the business done faster than expected....so, train home early tomorrow evening and should be home late.

Grocery shop tomorrow for us and found out BiL gets home tomorrow too......I`m so happy about that! Well, we all are.....

Rain here all evening......glad I didn't have to go anywhere tonight.

 

[Robo56]

Mac just passed your exit. Traffic on 75 N has been ridiculous today.

Thought traveling mid week would be better


I have never gotten hung up in traffic like this before going North on 75.

 

[Robo56]

Robo, always nice to pick up another mug to remember good times. My kids enjoy me buying HHN shirts. And little one took my HHN lanyard, so this year, may find another one. I always like seeing the new HHN items every year.

My kiddos all liked their HHN goodies from last year too. I’am looking forward to seeing what goodies they have this year.

Leaving work soon to take Mom on some errands! Early dinner with her

Enjoy your dinner with your mom.

Kyle is coming home tomorrow night now.....yay!! They got the business done faster than expected....so, train home early tomorrow evening and should be home late.

Schumi great news your boy is coming home and your brother in law is doing well enough to go home.

Hello to all the Sans family.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels Robo. That traffic looks awful. At least it is clear out.

Patty, enjoy your dinner with mom.

 

[Sue M]

Schumi I think it airs on 14th here. I watch, and both my daughters too. But not Mr! He says the other day- I don’t get all the hype. Sheesh.
I get the feeling I’m hosting GOT season opener! My daughter, BF, her bestie and fiancé will be descending on me! Oldest dd will be around too. Husband will probably be watching tv in another room wondering what all the shrieking is about! Lol!

Noooo! Just before our visit they’re charging for Dining shuttle and ODC. Unfair! I never even knew about them before. I wasn’t told about them at Portofino or HRH! I was planing on using it for HRH (The Kitchen) and Portofino!

Keishashadow sounds like my sea days on cruise! A lizard on the pool deck lol.
I didn’t know hip injection is series of 3. My doctor recommended 2.
Hope phone issues resolved.

Robo cute cartoons. Won’t know how much 2nd injection worked for another day or so. 1st one helped at least walking on the flats. I noticed an improvement. So hopefully 2nd one helps going uphill.

This afternoon it was a multiple vehicle accident

before 5 it was announced on tv traffic backed up from gunbarral exit in Chattanooga and don’t exit onto Brainerd road off of I 75

I watched the long traffic lines on tv

Yesterday it took me forever to get home from Chattanooga
A truck took out concrete side barriers on the I 75 / I 24 split and closed that section of 75 down
I got stuck on the back road trying to get home

January, the construction will begin to change this highway split
Accidents happen frequently as it is now but what will be set up will make no more of these traffic tie ups


Hope you had a better drive once you got thru that traffic mess

Wow! Woody Roundup dinner sounds fun! Are they running it more or a one and done? I lament that I never did a MK dessert party when the price was reasonable! We did do The World of Colour dessert party at DCA and it was really fun. But a splurge.

Bobbie hope things continue to go well for her friendship. My youngest had a friend since gr 3 and all thru school and high school they were on and off depending on what way the wind blew. But now they’re still friends, and without all the hormonal drama!
Clothes will have to wait till Friday now! A friend needed me yesterday so Friday it is.
Sounds like a much more relaxing trip for you now! Yay.

Lynne, I’m taking a WDW Break too. Our last stay was last Aug. for the first time in forever I don’t have a WDW trip booked. The prices have gotten crazy. But to get our Disney fix (oldest dd & me) going to DL in early Aug. way cheaper for us being on the west coast. 2.50 hr flight vs 6 hrs to Florida.
Those car rental companies are enough to drive you crazy. Once a minivan was the cheapest. This trip the prices really dropped one day, and the suv was the cheapest at $176/6 days. Picking up at FLL and dropping off near Universal. Glad I snagged it. Prices are up again. I book thru Costco. Best deal and extra driver free. After we check into RPH dropping off car.

Schumi yay for Kyle getting home. And bil doing well.
I once got coconut oil but made the mistake of buying the huge tub from Costco, too big.

Robo, lol, love the comic. So true on Florida roads! I’m the one in the right lane on i95. Too afraid to go left where the crazy people are! May get brave and move to next lane but that’s it! We’ve just recently widened our freeways to 4 lanes in each direction, and some parts only 3 lanes. So looking at 6 lanes in each directing is a bit daunting. Why I prefer the Turnpike. Less cra cra.

Ugh. I think part of this may have posted already IDK what happens. May have something to do with 2 dogs on my lap! So I apologize again for messing up. Sorry!

Lazy day today. Not much going on. I need to bake some cookies to bring over to friend down the lane. She got home today from knee replacement surg. Poor thing. I had left knee done and it’s the worst surgery ever with pain. And a lot of rehab.

Weather as predicted has turned to grey skies and rain. There’s a break right now. Has been high 50s. But dropping to 40s at night.

Husband making potato soup for dinner. It’s a soup kinda day.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Today was a much better day. It was busy, but not too bad. Then I made the mistake of coming home and taking a nap. Guess I’ll be up for awhile.
Tonight after supper we decided to go get ice cream . The place is an outdoor, food truck type environment. It was packed. We had to park at the shop across the street. We placed our order and dh gave them his name. A few minutes later they started calling a name that started and ended with the same sounds as his name, but was not his name. After they called it 4 or 5 times dh went to see if maybe they actually meant to be calling him. They were. The obnoxious customer at the next window said, “They’ve been calling your name for 5 minutes.” I just glared at him and said, “No. They’ve been calling the wrong name.” DH said that the next time he would give a different name that they can’t mess up. I suggested Nebuchadnezzar.

I got an email from the adviser for the trip and she said that the other boy isn't going. Now it is just Liv and us, which means we can drive all together. I feel better not having the responsibility of someone else. I am hoping for a little more freedom. With just having Liv we can move around more and do something when there are no activities. I am hoping she can take something away from it.

I’m sure that was a relief. Now maybe you can have a little family vacation.

Thanks I think it will take time with her friend to get back the comfort level. The other wrench in this is the girl's mother is jealous of Liv and doesn't want he to hang with her. Not sure how much this has and will influence her. Liv is taking it in strides and not going to have any expectations.

I don’t get that at all. Be an adult. I will admit that I am a little jealous of B’s friend Sarah. She is smart, talented, athletic, pretty, and popular. She is also the kindest and most humble kid I know. I can’t imagine discouraging B from being friends with her.

iPad keyboard folio not holding a charge argh hate that slow poking without it

Ugh, I hate that. Mine randomly decides if it will stay connected or not.

Tried the rattlesnake fries last night at Taco Bell

I keep seeing those advertised. Nope, not for me.

we have scooped so many litter boxes in the last 11 days!!

I’ve recently tried something that I saw on Facebook. It’s a disposable litter box sent monthly. It’s only slightly more than what I spend on litter each month.

coconut oil is fabulous!!! So many benefits to it from cooking to using on your hair.....I occasionally put it on the ends of my hair when I`ve just had it coloured….saves it getting dry.....and use it a fair bit for cooking....

I never thought about using it on my hair. I wonder if it will help tame frizzies.

I have never gotten hung up in traffic like this before going North on 75.

That brings back so many memories. I used to live in Marietta, GA and my dad lived north of me. I think I’ve been stuck in that traffic on all the major interstates in the Atlanta area.

I think we are almost ready for prom on Saturday. The last thing we need to do is pick up the boutonniere. I found out yesterday that B and Sarah will be going to the after prom without their dates. B’s date has to work the following morning, so he can’t stay out too late. Sarah’s date is one of the special needs students, and I guess his mom doesn’t want him staying out that late. I think they will still have a lot of fun together though.

Almost forgot, we also got our tickets for Averners Endgame yesterday. We were going to go the the special fan event on opening day, but then I remembered that B had dance class that night.DH couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let her skip dance for the movie.

 

[macraven]

I had left knee done and it’s the worst surgery ever with pain. And a lot of rehab.

.

I had the right knee done almost two years ago
I’ve had numerous surgeries in my life and the tkr was in the top 5 for me for pain and recovery

I can imagine the pain and misery you went through!
I had the second pt session and gal called my doctor as I screamed when they moved my knee/leg
Was sent to Er and they found two blood clots
Also my thigh bone shattered when they put the metal plate in
Had one delay after the other
So took me 18 months to get back to normal

I use that word normal, loosely
lol
I’m holding off for the left knee replacement for as long as I can

I met a nice lady that told me she had one knee done and maybe it was 6 weeks later she had the second knee done
I can imagine the pain she went through!
She was brave and I am not

Sue, do you ever have issues or pain still at times with your knee?

Even back roads clogged, you know it’s a bad one.

Pool lizard, has a certain ring to it lol

I go miles and a solid half hour out of way to avoid I-95/Washington beltway. Have never seen anything like it, especially the poorly marked/designed exit system

Need to remember to call DTV and add HBO going to be hard to live up to the all the hype Hope the wrap up all the loose ends & no heart tugging Hodar moments!

Took mom for 3 hip injections, last probably 5 years ago. may have changed protocol

Great rate on rental, have none booked yet as the first number is still a 3 Pretty sure Uber would win out if that doesn’t change

Thursday again...…..

Yes coconut oil is lovely on hair to avoid it getting dry, not sure about frizz.....we don't use much of it, but always have a jar in the house for cooking and a little pot for my hair.

Grocery shopping is out of the way for a few days......load in the machine and should get it hung out I think as it`s quite breezy...…but sun is shining. Cool though.

Making chicken curry for Tom and I tonight, Kyle will be in late so he just wants a snack...…

So, another lazy day ahead of not doing much...….although I am helping a friend organise her trip to Orlando in August....yes, August....first three weeks.....yikes!!! I`ve booked her a few things already and now she has changed her mind on some things.....I`m still smiling though......for now.....she does know she`s being a little difficult, but hey...she`s a good friend...…

Have a great Thursday...…..

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, Schumi must be cooking up bacon and enjoying having DS home earlier than planned. Ooops, see you snuck in here. Hope you had a lovely morning so far. Enjoy the cartoons.

Good Morning homies! The warmer air is coming, and you know what that means? Yep, rain. Showers later today, and a rainy Friday is in store. But hey, 72 with that rain.

Little one was so annoyed that the weather is not warmer. She was in shorts and a t shirt last night, and could not understand why no one else was. Yeah, not many teens out where we were. Just sayin[ . To be young.

With that tea is ready, and time to throw back at least two or three more cups before water takes the place of tea. It's a Thursday.

Drink up, and have a great Thursday, all.



and of course, a hehe,

Thank goodness.

Ah yes, and hope this finds all the homies well.

Mac, I hope your foot is getting better fast.

Robo, hope you safely got home quicker, after all that nasty looking traffic.

Charade, I hate when conflicts with dates. We decided not to go on opening night, so have tickets to see the movie on Saturday morning. Little one remarked there is less than 50 days of school left. Big smile with that remark. I think the kids all go out after prom, but little one is usually home around 11 or so. At least they do not have to go to school the next day. Most seniors have their community service points done, so if so, no need to go to the school's community service day that is the day after prom. Little one has had her points done for some time. Sleeping in late will be her day after prom plan.

We decided to see Endgame Friday night instead since no one has any conflicts and we don’t have to get up early the next day.
I just counted and B has 31 days of school left. Wow!
Do all seniors have to have community service? At B’s school it is only required for certain organizations such as Key Club or National Honor Society.
Our prom lasts until 12:00 and then the school has an optional (Though I understand most kids attend) after prom until 4:00. The after prom is held at the school. Several rooms are decorated and they have food, games, and I think more dancing. It’s a great way to keep the kids safe and out of trouble.

Gotta get to work. Have a great Thursday everyone.

 

[pattyw]

I’ve recently tried something that I saw on Facebook. It’s a disposable litter box sent monthly. It’s only slightly more than what I spend on litter each month.

I've always wanted to try one of those self-scooping boxes. Very $$$ though. I've heard mixed reviews, but I think it's time to try at least one! We have MANY litter boxes for our gang!

Good Thursday morning all!!

Sunny and crisp this morning! I know spring is almost here- I see bugs outside! I'm always so happy to see my first fly of the year!

Another busy busy day! Off tomorrow - yay for 3 day weekends!

to Mac, Schumi, Keisha, Lynne, Charade, and all others just getting started today!!

Have a great one!!

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, Junior Prom is at the school, but the Senior Prom is at a Ballroom place, that serves for weddings, and big parties like the prom. It's in the City, so most of the kids are thinking of pooling together, and using a limo. I think that is a great idea. It's not in the best area, but safe enough. There is no sponsored after prom, but many either drive down the shore, to stay for the week-end., and many just go to Chili's or other, and share food, then all go their separate ways. Since ours ls not until the end of May, most of prom stuff is still not solid. Dress, shoes, hair and nails are though. Glad you could get tickets for the other day, so B's commitment would not have to be an issue.

Full sun to start, but cloudy out now. Rain chance later today, snow showers in the wee hours of tomorrow, then rain. But so far, not much. Saying even though throughout the day and into the evening showers, by Saturday, there should be less than an inch of rain total. Just enough to be annoying. But hey, close to 70. I'll take it. Week-end to be rain free. That's what is the good thing. And warmer. Woot! Maybe some Zoo time. We'll see.
