Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Ah, my old college days when you talk iron city beer Keisha. That and going on the Monongahela.

Back and now to errands.

I just secured our seats for Blue Man Group.

Splash zone!

 

[Charade67]

Splash zone!

I’ve had a couple of people tell me to get seats far from the stage. No way! If I’m going to do this, I’m going to do it right. Poncho seats!

 

[macraven]

You'll love your seat selection

Twice I had that splash zone in the third row middle section

Fantastic view of the performers on stage

Morning homies
Short work week for most

Turkey day will be here soon

 

[schumigirl]

I keep forgetting you have Thanksgiving this week.........


Raining here today, not too cold though........just dull and grey, very grey.

11 sleeps till overnight at airport..........

 

[macraven]

Up at 5 and started my day
Trying to think where to have lunch out this afternoon

Why is food the highlight of my day?
Lol

 

[Lynne G]

Because you are one of those not caring what day you have to go to work. Hope those cats are behaving Mac, and enjoy a lush lunch.

Yay! 11, 11 for Schumi. Family trip is getting ever so closer. Hope you see some sun today.

Well, soccer is over for this week-end. They could have done better. No subs may have hurt some, and they haven't played together for months. HeHe, they did play in the 30 mph wind yesterday. Balls kicked in the wind didn't go far at all. A funny: The goalie kicked an incoming ball -- it looked like a geyser, ball went straight up in the air, higher than the nearby large tree, then came down not far from where it was kicked. That wind was fierce. At least it was not that cold, 50 degrees, and no snow or rain. That was another tournament that little one has last year. 30 mph winds, and snowing. Now that was a cold tournament. Ah, happy no practice on this holiday week-end. Then starts in earnest for the last tournament in 3 weeks. Sigh, I need a heavier blanket to wrap around me at games, apparently.

Well, for those keeping up for what day it is:

and I feel like:

. But,

Time for tea. It's a very sunny, mostly clear blue sky, 45, and 20 mph winds. Yep, it's Monday already. Heated seat and car warning that it may be icy roads. No ice here. Ah, yes, those very large pockets of rain to dump over an inch of rain over Saturday night, are far out to sea. No ran for most of the week, just dropping temperatures. 42 for Thanksgiving and 43 for Black Friday are the highs. The coffee will be hot when shopping.

With that, I need tea. Actually, iced tea. Seems the boiler is working overtime.

Have an awesome Monday all. Good Morning.

 

[Chuckers]

Happy Monday all!!! Holidays are really in full swing now around here. I am working Tues, Wed, Friday, and all day Saturday at my second job... going to be loads of fun.. I haven't done retail on Black Friday in years.. I don't even go shopping on Black Friday...

Last night I saw 'Justice League'. It was good, but DC comics are just so dark and brooding. They tried to inject humor, but it doesn't work as well as Marvel. I'll go see the next one in the series, but I'll remember to keep my expectations lower.

@Charade67 HAve you seen BMG before? I've seen them twice, they're such weird fun! You'll have a great time! I hope they do the toilet paper thing.

@keishashadow I am so sorry to hear about your police officer friend. I have such admiration and respect for good policemen/women.

@PoohIsHome I am so jealous you're there and I'm here! I hope you're having a blast!!

@Lynne G I'm raising my morning mug of tea to you!

Good morning all. I have to work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. B has school today and tomorrow. DH gets the whole week off.

Mac raven - I was up at 5 today but not by choice. I managed to get back to sleep just before my alarm went off.

Lynne - Stories like that make me glad all of B’s activities are indoors.

Chuckers - I have never seen BMG. I surprised my husband by choosing it. He didn’t think it was something I would be interested in. The clips I’ve seen look very entertaining. Good luck Friday. Six years of working retail have cured me of Black Friday shopping.

Time to get this day started.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all! Three works days (or really 2.5 days) for me this week. We are off Thursday and Friday!

Hope everyone has a good day!

 

[Robo56]

Morning everyone .

Coffee brewing.

I haven't done retail on Black Friday in years.. I don't even go shopping on Black Friday...

Chuckers since some of the retailers have been opening on Thursday evening for past couple years Black Friday is pretty quiet here. Maybe with all the folks that shop online now it will help ease up some of the Madness for you on Black Friday.

I did Black Friday once a long time ago...it was kind of fun but I've never done it again. After seeing how some people act from the news shows last year I'm embarrassed for them...totally childish and stupid. I wish stores would crack down on how people act by forcing them to follow rules and if they don't behave they get escorted off the property...or something to that effect.

 

[Lynne G]

My kids want to go out on Friday. We like to people watch more than buy a few things. That, and stores are open all night, so early in the morning is when we go. Do most of my shopping online now, so I don't see the lines like I have seen in the past. Yeah, and there's always some crazy, not so nice, people out there. We just stay out of their way.

But so loving a short work week. That, and I need more tea. That wind is just enough to send a chill through ya.

And a YAY! for Metro West. 4 day weekends are always something to cheer about.

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, hope your coffee was a full pot, hot and tasty. Hope you are enjoying your afternoon.

Our store doesn't open on Thursday because the company doesn't want to pay the massive overtime that Massachusetts state law says must be paid. In fact, we have to make sure we're out of the store by 11:45 Wednesday night and they can't clock in until 12:01 am Friday morning.

 

[Chuckers]

I did Black Friday once just for fun.. I left my house at midnight on Friday morning and just drove around to look at the long lines. The line for Best Buy wrapped around the building twice. Target's line went filled up the parking lot. Bloomingdales stated they weren't opening until 2 am. However, when I got there at 1, they had opened their doors and no one was there. So I did a little shopping. I found one thing I wanted and bought it just as everyone came in realizing the store was open. I went to the bathroom, came out and the store had transformed from peaceful to madhouse in the space of 5 minutes. I figured I had had enough and went home.

First Black Friday I did many years ago I herniated a disc in my back just putting my shoes
on to leave that Morning. I didn’t know what it was so went shopping anyway and was in hospital that evening.
Second time I did Black Friday again many years ago two women were fighting in toy store over tickle me Elmo. I was appalled. Nope....Black Friday shopping not for me. It seems to bring out the hidden animal instincts in some folks for sure.....
