Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

Guilty one here Janet....well not so much a jump as a collapse.........

Sofa tends to be mine though.........lol........


Yep, saw Paris and the floods.......awful.........we haven’t been there for about 9 years and keep saying we should go back for a quick trip, but so many reasons not to..........it is a beautiful city though........and where Tom proposed to me so it’s kinda special.........

Good news on the house!!! And glad the washing is up to date........

Ok......what’s your secret........I haven’t woken up feeling like doing housework for ages.......had to of course, but wanting to???? Don’t know that feeling often........

Seriously, an amazing proposal site! was surprised to see they closed the first floor of the Louve. Bet they are really keeping an eye on it.

Keisha, good to see the acorn is not falling far from the tree. LOL Hope all goes well with the house inspection. Nice his offer was accepted so fast. And ooh, don't let that cleaning spurt go on all day. And yay, clothes washed, and done by DH. A win and a win.

Oh My Goodness, it's only 2 o'clock. Yeah, there has to be a happy hour somewhere.

Schumi? 7 o'clock sounds like time for wine.

I wouldn't dream of submitting an offer without a 12 or 24 hour expiration, learned that trick a long time ago . Tends to get their attention at least for a counter

Lol.......I must have bored you ......I mean told you before lol........he proposed to me up the Eiffel Tower.......very romantic with champagne........and a little crowd cheering us on.......think they wanted a share of my champagne........not a chance.........but, yes everyone clapped when I said yes......it was lovely!

One little lady who barely spoke a word of English gave us a 20 Franc note (1991) for good luck and wished us well......wouldn’t take no for an answer bless her........I still have that note........in the back of one of our wedding pictures on the wall.

I am genuinely surprised I haven’t told you that before........lol.......I tell everyone

So the first picture is Saturday. Mid 50s. Next picture is today. Gotta love Michigan!

 

[macraven]

WOW

 

[macraven]

I’m waiting for keisha to come here and say she is gonna be snowed in


Guess this is not the time to say it was 55 in my area today

 

[Charade67]

Waiting for B to get out of dance class so I can take her downtown to catch the last hour of Barnum rehearsals. February is going to be a long moth for me.
They are still saying possible snow tomorrow. The prediction is a coating to an inch. That usually means we will get nothing, although one year we got 6 inches.

Schumi - Where i used to live the internet used to go out all the time. It got so frustrating. So far we haven’t had a problem with it where we are now.

Kfish - I may have been sort of awake when you were this morning. The cat was thundering through the house and I was trying to ignore him.

Chuckers - I have never seen Les Miserables or Little SHop of Horrors. I still prefer my musicals to have sappy happy Hollywood endings.

Keisha - I don’t think I have ever woken up with the urge to clean. Not even when I was pregnant and supposed to go through the nesting phase.

Tink - Good luck to dd. Wisdom teeth removal was the only “serious” dental problem I’ve ever had.

Squirlz - Wow, what a difference. This is where I would normally comment that your pictures are the reason I live south, but that happened to us in NC once. I think there was about a week between the warm day and the snow though.

Almost time to take dd to theater rehearsal. She’ll only be there for an hour, so I will stay and wait for her. This time I’m being smart and bringing a book to read.

Evening Sans family

Congratulations Kstarfish82 on the birth of your sweet baby boy.

I’am on Island Time this evening at RPR. Having a nice relaxing mini vacation.


I can see why this is Mac and Schumi’s fav resort at Universal.

Haven’t stayed here in years the remodel is very nice and staff have been wonderful.

I was able to attend two presentations for the Harry Potter celebration yesterday. One was with the graphic designers (MinaLima)that worked on all the Potter movies and did the first Fantastic Beasts and are presently working on those films.



The second presentation was for a new Potter video game. Sounds like it will be fun for the gamers. You will be able to create yourself as a student at Hogwarts and attend class there as a student. The creator’s of the game were the speakers.


It was raining yesterday and I was good and soaked even with a rain poncho on. Light show at Castle was nice.

So glad you are enjoying your mini vacation Robo. It is good to get away every so often.

Some rain tonight. Now they are saying a wintery mix and how icy will depend on how close or below freezing the air temp is. I will be up early. Usually late arrival notices are posted around 6 am.

[macraven]

Super pictures Robo!!

In case you get the munchies late night, Jakes is open after midnight
Last October they closed at 1:30 am

The tomato donut soup is delicious

Glad you like rpr
I like all the deluxe hotels but call rpr home

 

[Robo56]

There were still a few folks that dressed up in Potter costumes yesterday. The majority had dressed up on Saturday. Here are a few, they were kind enough to pose with folks yesterday



My favorite my far is the guy who was dressed like Delores Umbridge. He was very tall and had heels on. I took a pic with him and them I took one of him walking away so you can get the full costume

 

[Robo56]

Thanks Mac. I’am afraid I have had my allotted calories today. No midnight snack tonight. I had dinner there though and it was good.

 

[macraven]

Thanks for sharing these pictures

Are you planning to do Mardi Gras opening weekend?

I did it last year for the parade
Most were there for the music but I had a goal to catch beads...

Lynne, i watched the news and think it will hit your area quite hard!
Stay safe and stay warm

 

[tink1957]

Love the pics Robo...looks like so much fun.

 

[macraven]

Thanks Mac. I’am afraid I have had my allotted calories today. No midnight snack tonight. I had dinner there though.

I like Jakes when they keep the menu with my favorite items on it

The steak, pizza and a few other things have survived the menu so far

They change it regularly so I don’t know until I’m there if it will be my fall back place for late night eating

 

[Robo56]

They have a lot of More Potter ornaments now.

 

[macraven]

Almost looks like “ties” on the tree

 

[Robo56]

I had pizza there this evening. Didn’t put a good dent in it. Was very nice.

Tink, it had been fun so far. Weather is supposed to cool down here tomorrow in the 60’s. There are people in the pool this evening and there is a cool breeze out......LOL.....no pool for me.

Mac thanks for the room ideas. I have a nice quiet room in the area you suggested

 

[Robo56]

It’s really cute. They are all the four Hogwarts houses banners and ribbon. They also have train ornaments, Hogwarts train tickets and larger house bulbs.

 

[macraven]

Since you will be at PBH in the fall, we won’t have to fight for the rph room..

 

[Robo56]

They are setting up for Mardi Gras which starts Saturday.
