Something About Nothing ... #12

[Robo56]

Wow tink that is pretty hot weather to be out working in. Sounds like you need to kick back with a cold one and chill for the rest of the evening

 

[Robo56]

Monyk happy anniversary to you and your Mr Monyk. I'am with Mac go out to eat and celebrate.

 

[Lynne G]

Congrats on 23 years of wedded bliss

I am beat. Kids were pouring water on their cleats, as they said the turf was boiling hot. Airing out the wet cleats, and uniform in washer again. Very early road trip for second day. No late sleep. It was 95 and humid for both games. The temps on the field were reading 103. Thankful, referees let kids have water breaks during the games.

Time to chill, lemonade, home made, as I am just waiting for the washer to stop, and relax watching the
Olympics tonight. Pop up thunderstorm has left, so still a warm and muggy night.

Ahhhhhh.

Have a great day MonyK and Mr MonyK too...........definitely a meal out is called for!

Wow.....Vicki, that is too hot!!!! Hope you cooled down enough and had a nice evening........



Blowing a hoolie here today.........but warm. No sitting outside for us.........

Not much going on today either..........may pop out to a garden centre later, not very exciting at all.

Hope your Sunday is a good one........

Wahoo, soccer champion DD today. Commanding first place win. So happy for the team. While the teams that became this team still have some meshing issues, they are getting more and more trusting with each other.

Ahh, a full belly with an early dinner and now chilling and catching up with getting ready for the work week. Wow, after two games in the heat, DD can eat a ton. Not sure where she puts it.

A hehe, DS has been house sitting, and called me from the large pool in that house's backyard. Yeah, rub it in, you got it better than home.

With that

Woo woo

Our girl is a champion!!

They won, great to read that


How does it feel to be the mom of the winning team?

Bet you are all smiles now


Still hot here and no rain
Rain around our area but not in my neighborhood

So still watering the front yard and all flowering bushes and plants
Rose bushes 5 of them are still blooming due to regular watering

Congrats for DD and her team Lynne.........they must be over the moon to win!!! Well done them..........

Mac........love roses!!! Glad they`re flowering well.......we`re losing a beautiful and very large white rose bush as we are planting more trees to the very rear of our property soon. Going to try relocate it, but not sure it`ll take. I`m a rubbish gardener so tend to leave it to the experts.........


Heading to do some ironing soon.......bit cooler today so much more pleasant to be doing housework in.......

Had a request for more cheddar bay biscuits tonight with dinner, so will bake later.......though they are so simple its not really baking to be honest........

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

 

[Lynne G]

Love tea roses. Our roses are in full bloom too. I have a creamy white tea rose bush. Love the smell when you walk past.

It's a beautiful day, and the sun is shining bright.

Happy Monday, all, get those coffee and tea cups out and ready.

Morning sun shines! Lapping up the Olympic coverage. Anybody see that Danish woman cyclist wipe out yesterday? OMG! How is she alive?

Good news is Jr cleaned his room, bad news is I lost count of the loads of laundry I did yesterday. Still a few to go, yeesh.

I am a huge Krampus fan any way. Who doesn't love a dark Santa?!?

Me lol. Have yet to see the film, Netflix will hook me up sooner if not later

Ah busy week! DH bday was tuesday. On official countdown to dropping my first baby off at college (11 days but who's counting)
trying to distract myself by looking for something to do next spring break. Lots of timeshare exchanges open in Williamsburg Va currently....really going about it a bit backward-should look at where cheapest flights will be first, then see about accomodations...
Ready for weekend!
Hope the car was OK Mac. Gotta get mine in for oil change soon.
Had 2 beers at happy hour with a friend and I am beat. Going to bed-if I can sleep. the 18 year old brought friends over to play xbox-started with CoD and now moved on to rock band it sounds like (and must have switched to Wii...).

Congrats on turning over the mileage with the Mr! Aw, planning a trip sounds like a great idea, hard when the chickies leave the nest.

Wish Williamsburg a bit closer driver for us. Let me know which TS you pick. Had trip originally planned there until one of kids couldn't get an extra day off work and switched to Cedar Point last weekend.


Did I mention that some idiot vandalized my car in onsite parking lot? Appears to have take a screwdriver type object to get some gas. Broke the locking door, rubbed off finish and so many scratches my mechanic said body man needs to handle. New door and likely quarter panel repaint. All for a quarter tank of gas. I'd have given them $10 buck kwim?

Made cake this morning. Hubby birthday today. Having some family over to celebrate this evening. Going to put ribs in crockpot for dinner.

Happy happy to the Mr. Hope the celebration was Merry.

I just called. $344 for Royal and $409 for Portofino...ouch!

Yes, I inquired a few times in past. They guarantee a room "somewhere" onsite @ 24 hrs for platinum but it's at rack rate - always has been sky high to point where we have passed.

Well, you can all breathe a huge sign of relief. My son FINALLY got a job offer in the St. Louis area, so he will be joining his GF there. Priorities, ya know? Mac, you're an expert on St. Louis, right? They'll be living more on the west side as GF is working well NW (St. Charles area?) and he'll actually be working in Illinois right across the river (a bit SE). He & I will drive up with his stuff on Aug 22/23 and then I'll fly back the 24th. Guess how much my flight from St. Louis to Orlando cost (booking 2ish weeks out)? $21.55!! Total, including all taxes and fees. Frontier obviously. Luckily I had a $12 credit from them as well to help offset that heavy cost.

Congrats to your DS and you for that killer rate!

How do you like frontier? Recently set up shop here. I'm told it's 'worse' than spirit (who I'm flying Saturday). I find it hard to believe any airline is step down the food chain from spirit lol

It was hotter than 3 levels of H-e double hockey sticks in the garden center today when I got off at 3 my car said it was 105.

Now I'm laying down in my nice air conditioned bedroom trying to talk myself into getting up to finish cooking dinner. BBQ pork chops are on...still need to do the sweet potato fries and roasted asparagus with lemon-dijon vinaigrette.

Happy anniversary to MonyK and hubby.
Go out and celebrate...you deserve it after all that hard work

Have a great weekend homies

Cannot believe you even bothered to cook when temps over 100 degrees. I'd have tossed family the phone and said to dial for takeout.

Ouch Kiesha. I hate when people vandalize any property. Just for gas???? I am so happy, gas prices have been falling somewhat. I just noticed a piece of my molding on one of my car's doors is chipped. Hmm, wonder who opened their door so close to my car that did that. Of course, it's been in several parking lots before I noticed it. I'll be on egg shells when I finally get a new car. Yeah, we've been dragging our feet, and DS doesn't go to school until the end of this month. For some reason, the local community college doesn't go back earlier in August.

Still tossing around BGW. It's about a 6 or so hour drive for us, including that $14 or $13 bridge over the bay, if I choose it. Otherwise, I'll just make sure my EP has enough moola in it before we travel. Still checking where to stay, and how much to budget. Of course, my super grover passes are burning a hole in pocket, and little one is pleading. Still thinking, maybe just a long week-end. Leave on early Saturday, come home by dinner on Tuesday. Of course that means, I'll be then on plane to MB early that Wednesday morning. Well, now I have to see if I can have the whole week off before any more serious planning is done. Details, details.

Nice that Jr cleaned his room. With 2 teens still in the house, we do a ton of laundry. Their baskets are always full of stuff they want washed. Soon, have to do an end of summer sweep of the kids' clothes. I am sure we'll have several bags to give away by the time I am done. That, and I have to round up the cleats and sneakers. I think we have several that need to be donated. Yep, the back to school readiness is kicking in. LOL

One more day Janet

 

[macraven]

The talk about white roses made me realize I do have 7 rose bushes

Have 2 white rose bushes that are full flowers
Dont have any tea roses but think they are beautiful

 

[macraven]

Is everyone on an extended lunch break still......

Is everyone on an extended lunch break still......

I'm still having not a lot of luck with my computer. DS had to completely wipe the entire hard drive and is now installing everything from scratch, which involved having to buy Windows 10 and Office. And now try to integrate all the back into different versions. I'm on my very old computer here trying to do something since it's been two days and I haven't been able to get on the normal one yet. I won't even go into the over 12,000 emails that have now appeared on my phone, going back a decade or so. I'm not having fun with this. And I promise I will respond to your PM Mac, once I get a chance to give him some of your advice!

 

[macraven]

12,000 past emails


Yikes


That is almost the same amount that came up on my phone when I had everything transfer last decade in upgrading to the I 6 phone



Good luck Marcie !

A quick hello before my phone battery dies I'm at work and I forgot my charger

Sounds beautiful! Off with their heads! Queen of hearts I am, it's red or nothing for me lol. Dumb deer are Houdini like here...able to jump over 5-1/2 ft fence with ease. My rose bushes have been designated browse the last few years.Quite fond of my burning bush too.

Did my time at body shop. $1,000. Didn't schedule yet as they are already into mid October. Glad my deductible is low and insurance won't count the vandalism against me. At least they didn't put anything into my tank ala water or sugar. The fuel tank was proclaimed 'fine' by both my mechanic and the one @ body shop.

Trying to take the high road here, how am I doing so far. You know there is something terribly wrong with you when your first thought is - crap, that's less $ for my October trip.
