Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

I`m doubting the boots now...…..

Wish they had been on sale!!! They have a heel, quite a large heel and I don't usually wear them like that, but I guess I could keep them for when I`m just getting out of the car, into the place we`re going and back in the car again.....not for walking miles that's for sure......but they are comfortable...….

Our overhead bags are decent sized too, we have 10kg in hand luggage, plus 32 kg in checked luggage.....so the cases are a decent size.....didn't see a smaller one that was big enough and the others were either too big or too small...…...guess I`ll need to keep looking.....still got a while till June.



Sun is shining, laundry is out on line and will be dry in time to get it all done today....washed, dried, ironed and put away...….that makes me smile!!!!! Yes, quite sad to be so happy over too...….

 

[RAPstar]

I'm alive. I got a car. I have more debt. Universal announced the perfect house to make me come back, just on a super small scale. Hi!

 

[Lynne G]

Cloudy with peaks of sun. Got warmer fast. Wish I had our shorts on. Little one changed into shorts fast.

Nice Friday so far.

Safe travels Charade.

And a big hello to RAPstar! So nice to see ya post, and woot for new car. Hope you are doing well, and excited about HHN. Hey even a weekend or a few days is still better than not being able to go.

Little one keeps wanting to leave on a Friday afternoon and visit Harry, leaving Sunday night. Seems her AP is burning in her pocket.

Eek, and little one just said, dorm choice list is due next week. My baby.....

 

[keishashadow]

Not, can’t decide if i’m Getting beat down by spring time allergies or i’ve Caught a whopper of a cold. Started to take cough medicine & spray my throat with chloraseptic found myself nodding off a few times today. Will be a very early night.



Found out i’m On duty tomorrow am, wah. Figured i’d Come home & grab a few hours of sleep. Nope, Jr leaving for vacation to St. Louis to watch a couple of playoff hockey games. I was volunteered to make a hearty breakfast early enough to put the Kabosh on that lol.

Did they televise the launch? Sounds amazing.

For my next colonoscopy I’m going to try altering my diet in advance. Seems like the way to go. The hunger was the worst! So I kept drinking lots.

Funny you’re having breakfast and I’m getting ready for bed!

The mr had his first last year, they gave him specific diet to start following five days prior. Smart, less in, less out .

Like charade said, the Last time i had to drink what seemed to be a gallon of gross stuff. He was prescribed a little brown bottle, looked like something out of HP, believe he only had to drink it in 2 glasses of water.

Each time I’ve had the procedure the prep has been slightly different, but always horrible. The last time the hardest thing was forcing down all the liquids. (I always think about Dumbledore when he and Harry went after the locket.) For some reason the volume of liquid seemed a lot larger the last time.

Thank you. She is also a breast cancer survivor. I got to start those screenings early too.

It’s almost 6:00 and I do not want to be up this early. I’m going to try to get a little more sleep before I have to get up for real.

I’m told some doctors still prescribe the older type, as it’s tends to be less expensive for those paying OOP.

Have a great trip.

 

[schumigirl]

Welcome back Robbie.....nice to see you again...been a while!!!!

Lynne.....sneaky little trip would be nice for you and DD...…

Keisha...…..oh you`re on breakfast tomorrow...….yay!!!! Bacon for me.....not much else...… Hope you aren't coming down with something, although get it out of the way before your trip!!!!



I am yawning my head off tonight......think it`ll be an early night tonight for us too......friend stayed for a couple of hours and had dinner with us......didn't make sausage casserole after all......well, I did, I just froze it......made a huge plate of help yourself stuff like shrimps, prosciutto, salami`s, olives and so on.....and I had made some rosemary bread...….it was very nice.

Only thing I`ve done tonight is some trip report.....not much else....watched some tv and drank tea......the high life!!!!

 

[Charade67]

Annnnd.......we’re off! Next stop Orlando!

 

[tink1957]

Bon voyage Charade! Hope you have an awesome trip.

Congrats on the new car and HHN trip Robbie...wish we were going at the same time.

Keisha...yeah that kitty sums up how I feel when someone wishes me happy weekend since I work every stinking one. Monday and Tuesday are my weekend.

Continuing prayers for mac for a speedy recovery...hope to hear from you soon.

Hi to Carole, Robo, Sue, Lynne and everyone else reading along...hope you have a wonderful weekend, lol

 

[Monykalyn]

Little one keeps wanting to leave on a Friday afternoon and visit Harry, leaving Sunday night. Seems her AP is burning in her pocket.

Sounds fun!

Not, can’t decide if i’m Getting beat down by spring time allergies or i’ve Caught a whopper of a cold. Started to take cough medicine & spray my throat with chloraseptic found myself nodding off a few times today. Will be a very early night.

I am in same boat! Not coughing but bout to just stuff kleenex up the nose and be done with it. Sure the cough will start soon with all the drippy stuff. So wore out today I kept dozing off too. Didn't help that DH snored alot last night.

Jr leaving for vacation to St. Louis to watch a couple of playoff hockey games

LET'S GO BLUES!!

Annnnd.......we’re off! Next stop Orlando!

YAY!! Safe travels, hope the teens aren't too wild to travel with!

Continuing prayers for mac for a speedy recovery...hope to hear from you soon.

Yes hope you are on road to recovery!

Much cooler today. Got nothing done other than to get the babies to outside pen-was a bit cool but sunny. Supposed to be rainy tomorrow so the monsters will have to be cooped up.

Home opener last night for our Double A Cardinals team-We stayed til the end-walk off HR for a winner! Was pretty cold by time we left.
Son with soccer game tonight-they won, but I stayed home as whether allergies or cold I figure being chilled again probably not good idea.
Had to go get Charlie out as the squeaking going on was driving me nuts. she's currently asleep on me.
Was a takeout pizza night here. Need to do some grocery shopping tomorrow as I didn't get it done today.

*yawn. Bed soon

 

[Sue M]

Good evening! Busy day. Pre trip haircut done! Load of laundry done. Took care of weekly hot tub maintenance. Winter clothes packed away, summer clothes put in dresser & closet. I’m feeling relieved to get that done. I know I’ve been fussing about it! Now I can start deciding what to take so I can get clothes washed and ready to go.
The sun was out today here! Even though I was busy getting things done and no time to enjoy it, it was still nice to have a break from the rain.

Tomorrow going to see Singing In The Rain matinee with girlfriends then dinner. Going to an Irish Pub by the river.

Maybe Sunday after church I’ll start filtering thru clothing and start taking things out for Florida. Going over to daughters & boyfriends place for Game of Thrones in the evening! Yay.

Robo hope everything went well today. I’ve heard about the prep where you have to drink litres of gross stuff. I’m glad I didn’t have to. I was just given 2 packets of powder to take one the night before, and one the morning of. Just mix with half cup water. It became a fizzy drink a bit bitter but not bad. And I had a couple of pills to take.
I’m sorry to hear about the death in your family.

Mac, thinking of you. Hope you’re getting better.

Keishashadow, yup I’m guilty of having too much to do and don’t know where to start so I phaf around on iPad, it’s called avoidance lol.
I miss St. Pete. Haven’t gone in a few years. The powdered sugar sand, calm waters to float in. Heaven!

Lynne when I stay in a room with both daughters with 2 queens + sofa bed they’ve traded off alternating between bed and sofa bed. Worked for them.
I’m of the same mind, the person paying has final say! But it’s never been a problem.

Charade safe travels yay!

Schumi hope you find the luggage size you’re looking for. I tend to travel with a 4 wheel carry on, which always has 2 days worth of clothing in it just in case. I’ve been burned more than once. So now I bring what I need to get me thru 48 hrs if luggage is delayed. Then I have a mid sized checked bag. I used to use the large size suitcase but it would always end up over weigh. The more room you have the more stuff you pack in!

Keishashadow hope it’s not a cold. I have allergies. Usually take Reactine Kirkland version. A few days ago I picked up Flonase. It seems to help. I’ll see how it works in Florida. AC can affect me badly. Never know when. It’s not in all places. But can do a number on my sinuses and I have to leave. Always seems to happen at restaurants. I keep my room AC around 70. Love when the room has a ceiling fan too. I can’t tolerate a freezing cold room.

Monykalyn we had pizza night yesterday!

I really feel I’ve accomplished stuff today, finally. Have a good night all!

 

[schumigirl]

 

[Charade67]

3:00 a.m. and we should be in Florida soon. We are all going to be so exhausted tonight.

I got a car.

Congrats!

Eek, and little one just said, dorm choice list is due next week. My baby.....

we have to do that too. I think Freshman registration opens on Monday.

Not, can’t decide if i’m Getting beat down by spring time allergies or i’ve Caught a whopper of a cold. Started to take cough medicine & spray my throat with chloraseptic found myself nodding off a few times today. Will be a very early night.

I hope it’s just allergies. Spring colds are miserable.

YAY!! Safe travels, hope the teens aren't too wild to travel with!

Not too bad. There was one that wouldn’t stop talking for a couple of hours, but he finally mellowed out.

Tomorrow going to see Singing In The Rain matinee with girlfriends then dinner. Going to an Irish Pub by the river.

That’s my favorite movie of all time. Love Gene Kelly.

Posting on a phone is a pain, but even worse when on a bus. I’ll check back in when I’m not moving.

 

[schumigirl]

Hey Vicki...…...won`t say enjoy your weekend...….but enjoy your evenings on the weekend...…

MonyK….hope you feel better and it`s not a cold!!! Pizza is always good for anything.....and hope you slept better last night!!

Sue, happy new hair do..….

Yes, we have 10kg (22lbs) of hand luggage, so we always take enough clothes in that for first few days....just in case....my big case is the four wheeled type and large.....I`m sure I could still fill it for a week!!! But, I`m going on the train to airport hotel where I meet mum, so want something a little easier to navigate since I`m on my own......it might just be better all round taking the smaller of the three large ones we have already. Having 32kg (70lbs) of checked luggage is fabulous, but I can easily fill that!!!



Good Saturday morning..…..

Looks like an alright weekend....not the apocalyptic weekend of cold they had forecast.....it very rarely is......sunshine and cloud so far.....and it`s only just after 8am...….

Got a wine delivery coming today....need to make room for them in our so called wine cellar......it`s not really a cellar though.....friends just named it that as a joke, and it stuck...…..should be here before midday.

Not much else going on today...…

We don't get GoT till 2am Sunday morning, so will be up at 5am to watch it with Kyle so we don't hear any spoilers during the day...….won`t post any though in case others haven't seen it...….

Feel like a Rocky Horror movie night tonight...….

​

Have a great Saturday all...…...time for bacon...…..

 

[Charade67]

We are in Orlando. On our way to the band competition. Universal later.

 

[Lynne G]

Bacon? Ooh I will be over Schumi.

Yay! Live report from Charade. Hope the band has a fun time playing, then fun in the Dark Side parks.

At my Dsis’s house, where older one is house and dog sitting for her, while she is enjoying some far away fun. Little one came too, as she thought I could relax as she drove my car to the car garage last night to drop it off for service. I needed older one to pick me up, since the car place is closer to my DSis’s place than mine, so the plan of older one and me for dinner became a 3 party. A very good meal at a burger place, that was packed with people. We ate all, and took some fries home. They were eaten with some chocolate chip cookies little one decided to bake around 11 last night.

Hence, only I am up. Dog went out, and is happily sleeping at my feet. He is an old dog, and not that social, so he is not touching my feet and will not sit on me. He is nice though, and will let you pet him at times. That is fine, I have a blanket, and the remote.

Not much tea is found here, how is my Dsis is related to me? LOL. So coffee it is, and cloudy morning. Lots of loud rain overnight, but that large green and yellow on radar seen as we went to bed, is now clear, but cloudy, and warm. 60 out now, with low 70’s this afternoon. Shorts after I clean up for the day.

Hope all have a nice Saturday, and Tink, hope your work goes quick and you get some fun today.

Sue, oh while little one complains, she will go without complaint, and kids sometimes switch beds, sometime they don’t care. We are all happy, as 3 beds means all do not have to share a bed.

I need more cofffe. English football game on, so enjoying that and seeing they have full sun. Nice.

 

[Sue M]

With all the talk of Rocket launches I finally looked up KSC launches. Looks like there’s one on April 26 @5:55 am. Mighty early for me with time change, it will be 2:55am. Ugh. I wonder if I stroll down to the beach if I’ll be able to see something? I’ve heard of people able to see from Ft Lauderdale beach. Probably just a glowing object going up. But still.....

Looking forward to the play today. Was reading good reviews.

It’s 5:35 here, been up since 4:30 am. Given up trying to get back to sleep. Pouring rain and loud! Yuck. It was nice to have a break from the rain yesterday and see some sunshine. Now back to the usually scheduled programme!
Looking forward to some Florida sunshine.

So Charade, hows the weather in a Orlando? Glad you made it down safely!

Schumi yay for wine delivery! And bacon! I’m already plotting out how I’m going to watch GOT while I’m away. My friend looked up if any pubs near Deerfield Beach are having viewing night. Seems like there’s one in Boca Raton that’s doing it. That’s just up the road from Deerfield so May give them a call to inquire. And I heard the Universal Resorts have HBO? I hope so!
I have the HBO app on my iPad but don’t think it works in the USA.
You must have different weight restrictions, I think ours is 50lb. I’m always dangerously close. But I’m really going to try not to overpack this time I seem to say it every trip. So far it hasn’t worked!

Lynne so nice if you to dog sit for your Dsis! Odd the dog isn’t very social. Was he a rescue? My dogs are always laying on me.
My girls are happy too when there’s 3 beds and don’t have to share!

Tink no happy weekend for you! I feel your pain. When I worked in the school office all the staff as they walked thru the office would wish us all a happy Christmas break, summer holiday, etc but the head secretary and student records secretary are 12 mo employees and had to still work. So will try to wish you happy weekend on Monday!

 

[Lynne G]

Yep Sue, he was a rescue, found on a large highway rest stop. My Dsis has had him for over 10 years, so we think he is around 16 or so. A corgi, terrier mix, so a small dog. He can’t hear or see too well now, but he does get around well enough for an old guy. He is very shy, and until this day, drools and yelps when he smells french fries. We had to give him a small piece of a fry, when we brought some home last night. He is a good dog though. Does not run off, does what you ask him to, and doesn’t bite.

With that, have to wake or make little one get up. Know a lazy Saturday is in store, hoping my car is ready by lunch, and not a large bill. Older one is up and watching tv with me, and on his phone. Lazy morning. Yes. May make oatmeal and soup for little one. Picky little one is not fond of oatmeal. I like it hot, with some brown sugar and some milk.

Be happy all!

 

[Charade67]

Waiting for the band assessment to finish. All the other groups here are in their formal performance attire. We showed up in shorts and black tee shirts.

I am listening to a parent complain about not getting much sleep on her flight down. Her FLIGHT. The rest of us spent 12 hours on a bus. I have no sympathy for her.

The weather right now is really nice, but it is supposed to get hotter. Also chance of a shower tonight.

 

[keishashadow]

One nightmare after another last night, yuck. Think it was the cough medicine, enough of that. Switched to mucinex swabs this am. Whatever it is, it can leave anytime soon.

Was supposed to bring dinner to DSs house to celebrate easter early & dole out my baskets. GD is mostly summer clothes & gymnastics Leo’s I need to wrap.

Supposed to be First softball game for GD, double header under the lights. A big hairy deal, the ‘lils only get one of those per season. Rained a bit yesterday, jury is out until commissioner decides @ 2 pm is field is playable for 6 pm game. Um, it rained like 10 min and sun is shining, going to be 70 degrees today. Not like it’s new sod or surface there either. Way to hold everyone’s day hostage!

My miniature, weeping Japanese cherry tree in full bloom! Last few years a cold snap knocked off the buds before it could bloom. Funny how something like that can really brighten your day.

Mac - hoping u r feeling betterer every day!

Vicki u always have such a positive attitude, didn’t realize u always worked weekends.

Welcome back Robbie.....nice to see you again...been a while!!!!

Lynne.....sneaky little trip would be nice for you and DD...…

Keisha...…..oh you`re on breakfast tomorrow...….yay!!!! Bacon for me.....not much else...… Hope you aren't coming down with something, although get it out of the way before your trip!!!!

Canadian bacon, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and (not my idea) tater tots lol. Packed him a small cooler of Pepsi, container of pretzel rods & some fruit and sent him on his way.

Annnnd.......we’re off! Next stop Orlando!

Wheee. Did you sing “a hundred bottles of beer in the wall” song to help pass the time lol. Any excuse will do for that oldie but goodie to annoy fellow riders

Bon voyage Charade! Hope you have an awesome trip.

Congrats on the new car and HHN trip Robbie...wish we were going at the same time.

Hi to Carole, Robo, Sue, Lynne and everyone else reading along...hope you have a wonderful weekend, lol

Robo - How did i miss the new car announcement? Was that a bribe for getting the test done? Know you had that bad accident, ive always ditched the car afterwards...bad juju

Good evening! Busy day. Pre trip haircut done! Load of laundry done. Took care of weekly hot tub maintenance. Winter clothes packed away, summer clothes put in dresser & closet. I’m feeling relieved to get that done. I know I’ve been fussing about it! Now I can start deciding what to take so I can get clothes washed and ready to go.

Monykalyn we had pizza night yesterday!

I really feel I’ve accomplished stuff today, finally. Have a good night all!

A hot tub? How cool is that? Happy with the hair? We were very surprised to be able to get pretty good view of launch when ‘literally’ on daytona beach.

Hey Vicki...…...won`t say enjoy your weekend...….but enjoy your evenings on the weekend...…

MonyK….hope you feel better and it`s not a cold!!! Pizza is always good for anything.....and hope you slept better last night!!

​

Have a great Saturday all...…...time for bacon...…..

Had two delsey bags go belly up after two trips, pretty sure it must be a new manufacturer as I had them in past and they lasted for years. I tend to get bored with them after a bit and pass them on to family who always seems very appreciative.

After asking the FAs what bags they use/recommend, bought 3 travel pro spinners. Two 28 inch size & a carry on (amazing how much you can stuff in it). Went back to fabric, much lighter than the hard size ones. I looked at Tumi bags but swear they cost more than my first ‘used’ car!

Also, won’t leave home without the zippered fabric stretch luggage protectors, amazon sells between $10 - $20. My luggage still looks brand new. Can’t say the same for the protectors but that’s their job.

Is there ever a bad Saturday to view RHPS?

in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is illegal for home deliveries of wine & spirits. Only now can u grab a 12 pack of beer in grocery store. No such luck with wine, which requires a run to the state store.

Waiting for the band assessment to finish. All the other groups here are in their formal performance attire. We showed up in shorts and black tee shirts.

I am listening to a parent complain about not getting much sleep on her flight down. Her FLIGHT. The rest of us spent 12 hours on a bus. I have no sympathy for her.

Think of the mileage you are getting of it Haha ten years from now, toss it out at DD under ‘remember when>?’

 

[tink1957]

Hey Janet...it was Rapstar Robbie who got the car not Robo Robbie....

 

[Charade67]

We made it to Universal a few minutes ago. I’ve already left the group and started forging my own trail. I told B I wanted to go to Jakes and get a flatbread. She asked, “Are you allowed to do that?” I said, “Who’s going to stop me?”
Guess where I am right now.
