Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Good afternoon all!!

Mac- Welcome Home!
Schumi- -glad the construction is moving along with not too much of a mess!
Lynne- Nice temps here today too!! 70 Yay!!
Charade- sorry about those annoying phone calls! I have apps that block most telemarketers but some get through anyway! Hope your all better soon!

Eating lunch at my desk- microwave mac &cheese (how boring!) But 2 more days until Orlando

Mac n cheese sounds lush!! Although never had a microwave mac n cheese???

Work in those rooms are moving along nicely thanks.........and no mess!!

Now is that two more sleeps or one more wake up before you leave

No one sleeps much the night before you leave for Orlando


I’m out running errands
Still have to hit the grocery store or it will be Taco Bell for the second night

Ain’t that the truth........never sleep well for weeks before never mind the night before......lol........

View attachment 320077 Our home for the week. Yeah, we didn't drive a MINI. The Cadillac is more comfortable and everyone loves it.

Looks beautiful squirlz.........have fun!!!



Very happy with the work being done in those rooms........and no mess!! I expected a load of dust and stuff around.....but so far nothing. Most of the utility room is done, all cabinets, wood, upstanding unit in place of tiles behind the sink is in place........just need to wait for decorators and flooring people and we’re done.....laundry room is less work........just some new worktop and a couple of cabinets........will be done tomorrow!! Expected maybe another day......but glad to hear it.

Happy Tuesday.........

Well, the verdict is an upper respiratory infection. I have medication now so hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

Well Charade, if it's any consolation, I get collection calls for my stepson from 10 years ago still.

Wow. I know that is annoying. We used to get collection calls for a woman with the same name as my MIL.

Charade....hope you are doing better today. It sucks being ill......and not being able to sleep doesn't help.....a good night`s sleep does help on occasion, but sounds like you need checked out properly..........

The sleep issues were my own fault. I shouldn’t have taken a 2 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon.

Charade, I hope the doctor finds out why you are still coughing, and can give you some help. I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight. Yeah, they are not to call late, Charade. You can report them. Since our phone now says who it is, or the phone number, we rarely pick up with a name or number we don't recognize. I sometimes have to laugh, as the phone announcer doesn't always pronounce names that I can understand. I hope they stop calling you.

We usually don’t answer the phone if we don’t recognize the number, but since we both have ties to South Carolina we answered just in case. I answered the last time just to tell them to take us off their call list.

Charade get well soon

Thanks Robo.

Charade- sorry about those annoying phone calls! I have apps that block most telemarketers but some get through anyway! Hope your all better soon!

These calls came in on our landline. I would like to get rid of the landline, but dh wants to keep it. Most of the calls we get on that line are telemarketers.

I am trying to kill time until I have to get B from school. Then she has to rush to get ready for her dance pictures tonight. Maybe I will get a chance to watch another movie. I discovered that we own all 3 Iron Man movies, so last night I started to play catch up on all the Marvel movies I have missed.

 

[Lynne G]

Pump those antibiotics in ya Charade. While I am sorry to hear you have that, at least you know, and can take medicine to remove that nasty infection.

Walk at lunch was almost too warm, and could not stop looking up. The sky was a clear, dark blue, so pretty, and welcome.

Glad to hear your coffee is good Robo. A wahoo for your May countdown too.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh, and yes, those microwave meals, we call zap a meal. I take them to work when I don't feel like anything else. Mac and cheese is god too, Patty.

And sweet, that Cadillac Squirlz, and cabin in the woods really nice too.

Schumi, that is great that the updating of rooms is almost done. I bet dinner will be lush tonight. I'm not sure what I am serving. Maybe burgers. Have to remind little one to take the meat out of the freezer.

Time for tea, and ice now, later homies.

Mac, did you take a picture of the happy cats when you came home? Homies like pictures, ya know. LOL

 

[pattyw]

Now is that two more sleeps or one more wake up before you leave

2 sleeps!!

Our home for the week.

It looks very nice!!

Mac n cheese sounds lush!! Although never had a microwave mac n cheese???

Yes- I make a homemade mac & cheese that is fairly lush but today a not-that-bad store bought microwave version.

Well, the verdict is an upper respiratory infection. I have medication now so hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

Good news that you know what's wrong and are treating it!

The sky was a clear, dark blue, so pretty, and welcome.

Beautiful blue skies here near 70!

 

[macraven]

Charade, hope the medicine kicks in quickly and you start to feel better.
Glad you got checked out as infections tend to get worse without medication.

No idea of what to make for dinner.
Feel like I am still on vacation.....

Not back into the regular routine yet at home....
but, nice day and temps are perfect here

 

[Monykalyn]

Good weather here-past few days have been very nice. Garden mostly weeded (still have 2 beds to do). chickens kinda helped-had the yellow cuddle chicken practically standing on my lap waiting for the worms to come up as I pulled up weeds. Other ones dug themselves nice dust baths.

Gorgeous prom Pictures Lynne! Hope she had fun!.
Yay-Mac home with her kitties. Were they good while you were gone?
charade-hope you feel better with the meds soon. I have a lingering cough at night still-unsure if maybe just allergies? But I've been sleeping in spare room so I don't keep DH awake all night.
Patty-yay for almost Orlando!! My DD isn't likely coming home for long before we have to turn around and haul her to Florida-she is staying longer after finals next week as her good friend from South America will have to be out of dorms a couple days before her flight, so DD is going to let her stay with her in apartment and take her to airport. But that means 4 days at home before she has to pack back up. Are you guys planning any trips after your son comes home?
Schumi-the one room we have done work in is our laundry room lol-built a platform for my front loaders (I know not everyone likes front loaders but I haven't had any issues), plus shelves in the cubby by the closet. Still need a top/counter over the machines. Have cabinets up and walls painted.
Squirlz-sweet cabin. My FiL has a caddy similar (maybe same??) as yours. Drives very nice.

DS has his band concert tonight. Always so much fun to hear how far they've progressed-the band teacher records their very first session with the instruments and plays it at start so parents can appreciate the work the kids have put into it.

 

[Monykalyn]

And to anyone I missed-
Hope your drink of choice is strong enough to face the rest of the day

 

[Lynne G]

Burger and fries with some nuggets. Yeah, did not feel like healthy dinner. Did have pickles, lettuce and tomato to put on the burgers.

Ah, nice night enfolding.

 

[pattyw]

My DD isn't likely coming home for long before we have to turn around and haul her to Florida

Hope you can get a few days of fun in the sun while you move her around!

Are you guys planning any trips after your son comes home?

His CP ends July 28 and we have to pack him up and get him home by mid August before his semester begins. So the only trips planned this year are to Florida! Not a bad thing though!

Yeah, did not feel like healthy dinner.

I stopped for tacos on the way home! Healthy no- tasty-yes!




This is one of our kitties- her name is Jill and she just turned 20!

 

[Lynne G]

Patty, she is a sweet kitty. I hope you get to enjoy her for many more years. Love her face and long whiskers.

 

[agavegirl1]

Made Taco salad tonight for dinner. I am getting addicted to Queso sauce which is not good for the waistline.

Patty, wish I was closer to my Orlando trip...the anticipation is already killing me.

Charade...take you medicine and get better. I stupidly ignored a URI and ended up with pneumonia, twice. Thought I "didn't have time" to go in to the doctor.

Do post pics of the remodel Schumi. I am terribly addicted addicted to HGTV

Squirlz, it is so "green" there. I am sick of brown and beige right now.

60s today in the northland. Started off a bit gloomy but the sun finally came out. Resisting temptation to turn on the AC. We are well insulated and the house gets so warm when the sun shines.

 

[schumigirl]

MonyK........front loaders are what most people have over here........top loaders are very rare......I don’t know anyone over here who has one........so I like front loaders.......never thought about anyone not liking them.......yep, getting there with rooms.........hope your DS band concert went well.......yes, lovely to see improvements.......

Agave........your trip will come around before you know it..........hope you’re doing ok, you’ve had a tough time recently.........oh no pictures of our home from me........I’m one of those that won’t post a million pictures of their home online........where we used to live someone I know vaguely who lived her life on Facebook and online suddenly. stopped when she was burgled after posting pictures of her whole house on Facebook........cops told her it was never a good idea to do that.........so I never have........maybe I’m just dull.......lol........

Our house is the same, good cavity wall insulation and loft insulation......our house is warm and the back of our house downstairs is all glass along one half of the back so when it’s sunny.......it’s even more gorgeous........but A/C isn’t a thing for homes in the U.K........we just don’t get that kind of heat that needs it.......maybe 4 weeks a year if we’re lucky.........lol.......

Patty......woohoo for your trip..........it’s almost here!!!


Hope Janet and her lovely husband are having a blast on their trip!! Wish I was there with them..........



So, we have high winds and rain again........although it’s just after 7 and think rain has stopped........and we have been promised a gorgeous weekend........and it’s a 3 day weekend for those that still work.........Bank Holiday on Monday so DS has an extra day off too...........hope it is nice.........I’m so ready for some sunshine.......

Workmen due in an hour or so, and hopefully done by lunch..........then we’re out.........

Dinner for me tonight is out with friend........no cooking..........

Have a great Wednesday............

To anyone who needs one today.........you know who you are...........

 

[Lynne G]

Well, our Wednesday Weather report: 87 today. Wow! A no jacket on today. Wow! The weather people are saying record breaking high tomorrow. 91 expected. Yes, please. The glorious sun is already up high on the horizon, blazing all in a sunny pale yellow light.

Hope the workmen are done now, Schumi. Enjoy your dinner out with your friend. And I hope your weather improves.

Trip countdowns - wahoo to all those having one this month. The days will go quickly, you'll see.

With that,

. Yes it is, and

as the weather is wonderful, and I can almost see Friday. Yes, homies, for those keeping a Monday through Friday schedule, Wednesday is the middle of the work week, and get over this hump of a day, two more days more, and the week-end! For those homies who need to know the day (hey Keisha, even on vacation) it's Wednesday, see the camel is here,

I need tea, so

 

[macraven]

Believe pattyw and Schumi go on trips soon

Have a great day homies!

 

[pattyw]

wish I was closer to my Orlando trip...the anticipation is already killing me.

Time will pass quickly!! When is your trip?

Believe pattyw and Schumi go on trips soon

One more sleep!! So sad will miss Schumi by a few days!!

Planning on hitting up HRH for lunch at The Kitchen on Friday and then Voodoo donuts for dessert!! I went to their website and they have pictures of all the donuts. Some are a little "mature" in theme!! I'll only post pictures of the G-rated donuts we get!

I know, I’m missing a couple of folks by just one or two days this trip!!

We were unlucky on two previous visits missing Janet.......and on other trips we’ve either been very lucky at meets or really unlucky..........always nice to catch up with friends........and new friends too!

 

[macraven]

Pattyw, so you fly out tomorrow?
Safe travels and come back home with a tan


Your co workers will be as green as Kermit!

 

[Lynne G]

Patty, safe travels. Oh, and since I had to look online at VooDoo, oh my. I'd say at least one is x rated, one, though my kids probably know what that is, yep, mature only, and one, almost surprised a community did not like. Either way, homies like all food porn that's PG.

Sigh, y'all are all making me rethink a taking a spring trip one of these years.

Walk at lunch made me sweaty. Ain't ready for this heat. Winter jacket on yesterday.

Yep- I was a little startled when I saw a couple of those donuts. One DH had to explain to me!!

Lynne- Sounds like your weather is as good as Orlando! 87 and sweaty? Nice!
