Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Hope you are feeling better Keisha. Told DS of your purchase, you should have bought 3. He thinks he would like one now.

Cooling down temperatures this evening. We get to go down to freezing overnight. High 40 for the next day, and wind chill in the 30's. Where is my sweater?

Glad you are having fun in the parks Marcie. Nice to meet up with friends, even given the crowds.

Hope all are enjoying this Friday night. It means 2 more Fridays until Black Friday. One more Friday until we see the new Potter movie, and 41 days until I get to fly. And, of course, 44 days to the unwrapping of Christmas presents.

Below freezing when I woke up but haven't gotten our first hard frost. Still dragging with the cold, appears I may have shared with the familyor they're faking it to get out of picking up their clutter in anticipation of company coming hehe

Just finished cleaning the house

Well the first floor is done and second floor will have to wait until tomorrow

The smoke from the fires near me since wind direction changed this morning

Figured I would stay inside until the afternoon
The smoke smell is disgusting

Have been avoiding the news to not get down in dumps this week, just saw reports of the massive fires on news this am. Eeek how close is this to you? Where's smokey da bear when u need him? No joke really, cannot comprehend reports people are setting fires to keep it rolling. There should be a special place reserved in Hell for that sort IMO

Lynne DH (after finishing up midnight) tag-teamed Best Buy with me, snagged 4. One for each kid, have a feeling the mr will be keeping #4 once we check out jr's later today. Trying not to panic seeing those numbers laid out I'm late, I'm late...

Fires and smoke range from Atlanta to northern Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky

I was on I 75 yesterday about 30 minutes from Atlanta and could see towards the east of heavy smoke on top the mountains

All the way up to Chattanooga could see smoke from look out mt

When the wind changes direction, it's better here
Less smoke smell then

The police have arrested a few of the peeps that started some of the fires

I heard idiots were lighting fires...unbelievable.

 

[macraven]

You heard right

 

[tink1957]

It was smokey this morning in the garden center, then the wind picked up and blew it away. If it's that bad here, I can't imagine how bad it is where you live mac.

I worked in the yard yesterday...planted 17 mums and a flat of pansies...it was like digging into rock. My poor old body is feeling it today...We desperately need rain.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

 

[keishashadow]

Tink I am marveling u r planting, just got done giving most of our perennials a haircut. Always sad to cut the maiden grass back since it's so pretty, even when dormant, but if not by spring yard looks like a hale bale exploded from winter wind tossing it everywhere. Don't laugh, probably the last grass cutting of year will be this weekend.

Mac that is so wrong, stay safe. Would think the air quality is messing with many.

 

[Lynne G]

Stupid people Mac, and as dry as you have been. Glad they were arrested.

Nice evening, and went out to dinner with the older one. When he's paying for gas, he happily wants to eat out if I drive. Glazed carrots were carrots in a pineapple gooey broth. I grew up with glazed carrots being drizzled with maple syrup. Was confused. I thought they were okay, DS ate the rest of them. Came home with a hefty piece of cheesecake that was promptly snatched by the little one. I didn't even get a bite. Should have hid it. LOL

Moon was shining bright in the clear sky. Nice night so far, but the temperature is already 37. Another cool night on tap, but no hard freeze for us either Keisha.

Forbidden Journey will be down for our entire trip next month. Our absolute favorite attraction. This is such a drag.

Now that just suxs

Wine is usually the answer to most things Keisha......... and a nap is always good!!!

We couldn't decide tonight, so Tom's on red and I'm on white......saves sharing........

Hope your cold gets better soon though......

Is it bad that I told the in laws to just bring wine to US Thanksgiving in a couple weeks? YEARS of trying to guilt the DH's mom and sister (and spouses) to come to our house for holiday and this year they decide "yes"? When our schedules are super busy this year? More wine please! Ah well. Saves road trip wear and tear on our part. Will have to change turkey order to "Largest" from the "smallest" I usually do LOL.

Trying to get caught up as have been really busy past couple weeks. Hoping everyone had fab trips and meetups. DD is planning/hoping on being at WDW next fall (college program) and I have already told DH that I WILL have annual passes to both WDW and US if that happens-he actually didn't roll eyes at me so I am taking that as a "go"...and so optimistic I will be seeing you alls in person next year

Hope all the SANS family is doing well!

Well crap, 1st to 19th, that stinks

Evening all........

Rain back on again........had lovely day yesterday though.......left around 6am yesterday and drove to see friends in the Cotswolds, a gorgeous area of natural beauty.........stayed overnight and just arrived home a little while ago.......

I could live there easily.......place is full of little villages that are more beautiful than the last.....but, had such a nice visit with them........ate far too much!!! But played croquet for the first time.......they have a croquet lawn on their land, so that was something I'd never done......and I was rubbish!

But weather was lovely yesterday and today is now miserable again.........

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

I've got to be quick with a check-in again.

We have the closing for our SC house tomorrow and we are headed to Orlando. Hoping FL's house closing happens on Wednesday - minor kink due to fault of lending company and the are insisting they need three business days to get it in place - when they really just need five minutes. So, have to get on Thebes's phone with them tomorrow and see what the status is as it messes up our furniture delivery and a couple other things - and costs us an extra night in the hotel. We might go to Universal on Tuesday - it depends how late we get in tomorrow night.

It's cold here, in the 40's all day and rainy. It's nice not to have the smoke from the fires though, our air quality was in the bad range all day Friday and even got over 200 at one point.I guess it's training in case we go to Beijing.

 

[macraven]

Don't worry about the furniture movers

We contacted 5 different movers when did our move

We went with the movers that said we could have it brought to the new house within 9 days from the time they picked it up

Many times when you use long distance moving companies, your stuff sits in a warehouse until another load could be added to the moving van


Think you will be fine!
Have fun on relocating and a new house !

How very Alice in Wonderland-ish. Surprised you've never tried the game. Least you had a break in the weather if only for a bit.

I'm dreading yearly dermatologist appt tomorrow.

 

[macraven]

I remember your last one with the Dr Derm


Good thoughts your way

 

[Lynne G]

Good thoughts for your doctor visit tomorrow Keisha.

Hope the air quality is better for ya Mac.

Sending mummy dust to Kolby that all the moving plans go well.

MonyK, that would be awesome for DD to intern in the world. Do not think mine has any desire. Cannot believe our kids are in the middle of their first year of college.





Have a nice Sunday night all. And I get a free coffee tomorrow. Yay!

 

[BagOLaughs]

Happy Monday peeps... well maybe not happy but u know.

Lynne gets free coffee. That's pretty sweet!

Enjoy your day

 

[macraven]

Why does she get free coffee and I don't ........
