Something About Nothing ... #12

[BagOLaughs]

Now now now, I'm on the train to work and I'm reading down this thread to catch up. It's all going well with talks of fire ants and new houses but then you go into so much detail about yummy warm toasties...

Now my banana doesn't look so appetising

Work on Saturday was thankfully only 3 hours and then I was home. Sunday we walked in the common through the snow/mud. It was fun.

Have a lovely Monday everyone

 

[schumigirl]

No, definitely a warm toastie beats a banana hands down!!! Have to admit, I'm considering a bacon sandwich instead of oatmeal now.............usually keep the bacon for weekends only........but..........

Walk sounds nice.......long as you're well wrapped up and there's no wind it can be fun! Have a good day Rachel.......

Morning all
I think it is cold all over no matter where you live

Homies stay warm

I need to get work down on my car today
I should go and buy a George Foreman grill once car work is done

I want to make a real toastie!

I see Rachel and Carole are up early this morning .....wait I have that wrong, they have been up for hours since they are over the pond

Hope all are doing well and staying warm
Enjoy monday

Did you get a George Forman Mac???? Hope so, they're brilliant, you should if you didn't......I didn't go for a new iron after all.......can wait till tomorrow.........was too cold to go out tonight......like tomorrow is going to be any warmer!!!


Watched that new film Room today........I wasn't sure I would like it, but I did........horrible, but lovely movie at the same time..........that little boy was fantastic in it.

Now waiting to find Ride Along 2 on this box thingy.........loved the first one so hope it's good too.......

Quiet night ahead........

No shopping today so no George to bring home

Took car to dealer as headlight parts came in

Only had a two hour wait and that wa with a set appt time

I agree Mac. The George Forman's are great, I use mine for loads of different foods

Its blooming cold here, but the good news is the sun is just about beginning to come out in the mornings again. I'm so excited to have to not go to work in the dark and come home in the dark

2 hour wait with appointment!!! Glad you didn't just turn up.....glad it's sorted though......

We said that this morning.......definitely not as pitch black as it was a few weeks ago in the early am.......even thought tonight it was bit lighter around 4.30ish.........You're right though.......it's bliddy cold........

Can't wait for lighter mornings and nights.......sign that summer is closer........

The dealership had repair work lead to additional work on same cars

With that happening to 7 of the cars brought in before mine, it backed up all the other scheduled cars today


So sat in the dealership lounge and had snacks, soda etc
All good treats which included cheese Danish and name brand chocolate

I think of the Bluers whenever I write cheese Danish

 

[schumigirl]

Hope Keisha made it out of chuck e cheese yesterday...........

Love cinammon Danish pastries........mmmmmmm

Rainy, misty and cold today again........got 2 crock pots going with pork shoulders for pulled pork.......will let them simmer away all day then portion it up for freezer........

Popping out for new iron later, how exciting........not.

Mac........it's Tuesday..........

14 degrees with 20 mph winds. Sunny, but darn sun is giving absolutely no warmth. I agree with BagO, blooming cold.

Hope your car is fixed now Mac. I wish my car dealer had those snacks for waiting. We get terrible coffee and a vending machine. At least they have a TV on and nice chairs.

We had steak on the grill last night. Everyone took a turn checking on them, as it was blooming cold last night too. Cooked enough that we have left overs, so steak taco tonight. Oooh Schumi, might have to have bacon tonight with the steak. My TastyKake is not as good for breakfast either. It is sweet, so I am enjoying it with my big cup of tea.

Nice to have had a long week-end, as was a holiday for us yesterday. Took DD to the mall, it was packed with teens. Seems every kid was there yesterday, as it was too cold to play outside.

Have a great day, all!

 

[macraven]

That just gave me an idea
When hungry for snacks, go to car dealership

Thanx for the heads up for Tuesday
That means floor installation day

Yes, it is cold here
We can all suffer together on this subject

Later homies

 

[schumigirl]

Lol......our car showroom has fantastic snacks too.........it's a pleasure to be in there whether it's looking at new cars or getting both their yearly service........not too shabby!

Good luck with the start of the floor work today.........

I'm braving the cold to walk into village to post a letter.........sun is out, but yep........cold. I got these amazingly warm gloves as part of my Christmas.......will definitely have them on today I think........

i'm alive, went into carb coma after all the junk food there. had to laugh when i saw the liquor license posted in window, talk about coming attractions.

lynne - yuck, looks like your end of state is going to get slammed with the first big storm this weekend, hope the projections hold & we just get dinged.

i may be the only person on the planet that loves George but hates his grills. I've tried 2 different varieties and gave them away, that whole hamburger fat dripping in plastic dish just both too messy & time consuming to me.

rarely make grilled cheese, when i do usually in fry pan but kids seem to get a kick out of me using moon pie maker (camping thing that which will work on gas stove). Anybody else use one? I have a old round one vs the square, moon pies = flying saucer shape.

speaking of extra-terrestials, anybody else over upcoming X-Files season?

I only use my Forman grill for toasties.......that's about it.......never use it for "regular" cooking.......I usually grill bake, roast, bbq it or takeout.......lol........never heard of a moon pie maker.....not sure if it's cos I'm in the uk or cos I never camped........

Cannot wait for X Files.........David Duchovny is still rather easy on the eye.........



got my new iron.......yes, very exciting.........

Baked some cornbread this afternoon and had that with Pulled Pork tonight.......nice.

Yeah Keisha, maybe a big snow storm. However, as always, our weather people say, so far, it may be all rain, maybe snow and rain, or all snow. They'll let us know more closely, like Friday. Something about that Atlantic water being warmer than usual, I think 43 or so degrees, so I guess that's warmer. Why can't it hit on Monday? I'd like another 3 day week-end.

Glad you survived visiting that mouse. I think parents would be more willing to go if there's beer or other. Hmm, coming attraction for sure.

Can I say, it's still cold out still? Sounds like a broken record, I know. It should be better tomorrow, and hopefully the wind dies down soon. I can be dreaming of another winter vacation where it's warm. DD says she wants a summer one again. Umm, no sweetie, this is the first year I don't have to pay for summer camp, so you're going to work most of the summer. I so love having teenagers.

An no, doubt I see the new X file show. Never got into the original one. Oh well.

 

[keishashadow]

anything to divert us from the winter lol...tv, sammies, it's all good

lynne - seriously, just a couple of weeks into cold weather and i'm whining like a weiniee. Why does it feel so much worse this winter?

carole u don't know what you're missing out on camping. i enjoy the outdoors. My kids were sharing camping stories over the holidays as to how much fun they had. when GD asked if we'd take her camping this year, i swear the ground gets harder the older you get.

 

[buckeev]

Y'all freezin' yall's North'n tails off up thar in the great Nor East!? About 65 degrees and super bright sunshine here today, but I think another blizzard is on the way. Probably only get to the mid 50's...Brutal.

Been running 'round like a lunatic lately...Just swinging through the quick-serv Dis-Line to say howdy!
Mom's healing up pretty darn good. I told her her I was amazed they actually found a heart in there to operate on...She nearly had another attack laughing!

Happy Hump Day's Eve to all!

if carole would ever go camping, she would have a purple color sleeping bag.
janet, tell gd you will put up a pup tent in the living room.
get the air mattress out for yourself as sleeping on a floor is just as hard as the ground.

i slept on the floor in the new house until our furniture arrived.
it sucked.

 

[macraven]

BUCKEEV...... i was thinking of you and wondering how mom was doing now.
glad you filled us in.
i'm sure it has been hard on you dealing with your job and tenderly taking care of mom.
you need a vacation before the snow falls anymore in your area.

wait, you wouldn't know what snow looked like even if a 2 by 4 hit you......

hope to catch up with you again if you go to the darkside this fall.
