Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

hey, where was schumi today??

 

[Monykalyn]

whew what a week! Trying to get caught up while watching hockey game (Lets Go Blues!)
Had a job interview last week for a different job-consulting for NH-good money, more freedom of schedule but also more driving...but No weekends or Holidays. Been at my hospital job (2nd time through after moving away) for 6 years (9 total at this place) so hard to leave my comfort zone.

Prom this weekend for my oldest-she went with about 8 of her senior friends (none wanted dates as they just wanted to hang out)
Her Lunar Research team made it to Final 4, but came in 3rd so no expense paid trip to NASA in california.

Rockin Ribs charity event this weekend-speaking of margaritas-was a margarita judge 2 years ago...mmm.
Great weather except we need rain or garden isn't gonna grow!

Happy trip planning for all you luckies getting to go

and just for Macraven Silly Chicken helping Alysa eat her salad....

Thanks for all the good wishes. Last I heard, niece was deciding between 2 names, so I guess I will hear the little guy's name soon. I am way past my own little one Mac. God forbid, I did a boy and girl, so party of 4 is fine for our family. Puppy, maybe one of these days.

Egad PC, only 2 years old fridge? Hope all the issues get resolved soon.

Cute pictures Mony. Senior prom was last month. Cannot believe in 2 months, I will have a high school graduate DS.
Oh, and the chicken is cute. My neighbor calls to the one chicken and the bird jumps right into her hands. They all have names. They eat salad and yogurt, as well as other food. They are funny birds.

I am ready for bed. News is nothing of interest. Rain and thunderstorms to be our day tomorrow. Voting in the rain not fun, but maybe lines won't be as long with the bad weather. Warm though. Almost a summer weather pattern.

well, you got a girl on the second round
one of each then.



me, i gave up after four.
not that i don't like having boys, figured i did enough tries for a girl.

hope it is just a summer rain that you get and not a big heavy thunderstorm that goes on all day.

i hope the neice names the baby silas.

i have an uncle with that name and always thought it sounded kewl.

Loving the warmer weather! TinyD - do you all have a recommendation for a place to get good outdoor / pool furniture?

Amazon! Dad just bought $3000 worth of pool furniture that's apparently supposed to last a lifetime. It was on sale apparently.... We got slate grey.

If you like wood furniture I have a guy named Clifford that makes all the big captain chairs in our rental homes. They're around $180 a piece.

We've got a lot of nice things from lowes. You get what you pay for and read reviews.

 

[tinydancer09]

TinyD, that is not a bad drive time.
well, for me anyway....

they pulled the 90 degree prediction off our weather this week.
upper 80's but a nice breeze here.

my others in the house complain about humidity.
it doesn't faze me as i grew up in the armpits of the country/st louis area and used to humidity.

I was not made for a hot climate. I sweat at 73 degrees inside. (Sheldon anyone? "At 73 degrees I'm already there!(hell))My Ac goes down to 68 at night and I don't turn my heat on in the "winter. "

And no drive isn't bad at all. Doesn't really phase me anymore and my car gets really great gas milage these days with all the high way miles. I think I used third of a 12 gallon tank today. It's just annoying because it's mostly 2 lane road that's hard to pass on in many places. Take 12 off I 10 down to 71 then hit 98/30a/30e. hsve just had to learn the better times to drive them. They hold water badly so when it rains they're pretty dangerous.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to properly read and catch up on everyone. Happy Tuesday everyone!

I wish my 6.2L truck got better than 12 mpg! Maybe one day they will make a hybrid truck that still has tons of torque and hp. I bought outdoor furniture from lowes two summers ago and it already rusted to pieces, literally ! You do get what you pay for.

 

[macraven]

i don't pay attention to the mileage i get per gallon.
when my orange light comes on the dash, is the only time i think of gas

 

[Lynne G]

Morning Mac. me too, I never bother to know my mileage/gallon, I usually wait until I am on fumes. I don't know my great nephew's name yet, I'm sure my brother will let me know when he knows. Now I have one of each, a great nephew and great niece, with the great niece to have a younger sister or brother in June. They're making me feel old. LOL

Well, even though we will be stormy today, it's another golden sunrise, with more humidity. Toasty before the storms, then 61 by Friday. Not ready for full time summer weather yet.

Hope all the homies enjoy their coffee or tea. It's super Tuesday for us. Us, and 2 neighboring states all vote today. Take care all!

I don't worry about it either. My truck has a nice screen in the dash

I have a nice LCD screen in my dash that likes to remind me how crappy my mpg is! Lol
At least it's not over $4+ a gallon like it was when I had my F350 diesel!

 

[pcstang]

I'm going to try my best to get the pics to you today. Don't expect much out of me though. Most of them are me taking random shots inside HRH.

Lol.........now I'm really looking forward to seeing them!!!!



Cannot believe our weather today........this morning we had snow and ice and blowing a gale, freezing cold too. Roads were congested and of course we had to be some where early, so left well before we normally would and glad we did. Took us slightly longer but made it in plenty of time.

DH then took me out for lunch which was lovely and now sun is shining but bitterly cold. I need some sunshine.

 

[pcstang]

Snow still!!!??? Yuck! My parents are in Europe right now doing one of the new Viking cruise ships. They departed from Barcelona yesterday and will end in Norway. Beautiful pics so far!

 

[schumigirl]

Ok, caught up I think..........

MonyK hopefully has a new job and a lovely daughter.........will keep fingers crossed for you getting it!!

PC still has fridge issues.........really.........not good is it.....

Congrats on new baby in family Lynne.......always lovely to be around them........

Another who doesn't watch fuel consumption.........our cars are not economical, didn't buy them to be so, bought them cause we wanted to......we laugh our socks off when car hire people try to tell us to upgrade to save fuel charges over there........tell them we would love to be paying those prices back home, so they have no answer to that. Not too bad right now though over here.......not that I notice I have to say, I very rarely fill our cars........

 

[pcstang]

Schumi - you posted a picture Thursday of what looks like a little white church. What and where is that?

 

[schumigirl]

Snow still!!!??? Yuck! My parents are in Europe right now doing one of the new Viking cruise ships. They departed from Barcelona yesterday and will end in Norway. Beautiful pics so far!

Yep, we have an arctic blast coming straight from Siberia or so it feels.........we were minus 2 this morning which is around 29/30F?

Mainland Europe can be beautiful right now.

Oh that white church picture was part of the old Jaws ride.........lovely isn't it.

Any pictures? I need to do something soon. About time to swim!
