Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

I thought they had omitted the ruder ones from Voodoo Citywalk menu??? There was certainly at least one missing from the list we saw.........

Patty......have a safe journey and a fabulous time when you’re there..........please leave me some sunshine


Our weather is improving!!! We have to get into the 70sF over the weekend.........woohoo.........bbq food time hopefully......

Had nice dinner out with my friend tonight.........we went to a fish restaurant and it was lovely......I had Tilapia and she had salmon........nice!

Now, as I was driving so no alcohol, I’m having a nice glass of red..........and couple of episodes of Person of Interest........while Tom plays with new camera .........haven’t had a look in yet with it.......

Time for wine........

 

[macraven]

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

I've been up since 6 am so coffee has been my drink all day long....
I'll be too wired to sleep tonight but I have made it through the day so far..

 

[macraven]

Looks like Schumi and I posted at the same time.

But.....she won

Oh that's probably good! I went to the Voodoo website and looked there- it wasn't location specific. Yeah- there's two that are.... I'm taking my 85 year old mom there after lunch and she doesn't see well. I could just picture her pointing to one of "those" donuts without really knowing!

Lol.........

My 83 year old mother has come out with a few corkers in her time.......especially now.......she’s still as sharp as a pin (thankfully) but has realllllllly lost her filter.......and just says the first thing that enters her mind........funny at times, but others........I want to just hide!!! She’s a tiny little thing too, but makes an impression!! She’s adorable though........hope your mum loves the doughnuts..........

Hello everyone

Sorry I've been mia lately...working 7 days in a row so not much time to post. I finally have 2 days off so I can catch up

I slept 12 hours last night so I'm well rested today but it put me behind on my house and yard work...not enough hours in the day.

I did find time to see the new Avengers movie with the kids on Monday after work...I really enjoyed it but I hope the ending gets reversed in the next movie.

Hope Janet is having fun in the Caribbean...wish we all were there... a san cruise sounds awesome

Patty...have a great trip and drink a butterbeer or an it's 5 o'clock somewhere for us homies stuck at home

Have a wonderful Wednesday

 

[macraven]

Tink, its good to have a few days off after doing 7 days straight at work!

Enjoy your time relaxing.

Have you done cruises before?
I haven't but have read some of the cruise threads on the boards.

I'm more of a park type of person than cruises I guess.

 

[schumigirl]

Enjoy a couple of days off Vicki.........I’m sure you deserve it........grab a cocktail and join mac and I with a tipple............

Mac..........Janet is always trying to talk me into a cruise..........well, I did ask her opinion as I know her and her mister enjoy them so much.......Tom fancies one.......I don’t.......I saw The Poseidon Adventure .........Shelley Winters one not the awful remake.........scared the living doodah out of me.........

I don’t like water. Much.

Almost bedtime here............2 glasses of wine gone........

No, never did a cruise before but have been considering it and doing research for years. I can take a 7 night cruise for 3 people for the same price as a 4 night WDW trip with free dining since they have upped the minimum requirements I do need to get passports for myself and Trey so that would raise the price but I like the idea of an all inclusive trip where you're in a different place each day.

Carole, you sound like Danielle as she doesn't like water either...might have a hard time getting her on the boat but the free food might help

 

[Monykalyn]

Well had a reply all typed out, then stopped to get munchies and wine and timed out!
Summer weather now, humidity and all-storms tonight. Jim Cantore in Oklahoma-we aren't supposed to be that bad though. Broke down and turned on A/C so we can sleep tonight though. Lovely breeze on deck...
hummus and veggie, and wine on deck for me. boy out with me eating sushi and spinach artichoke dip. Cleaning out fridge.

Yeah I think the more mature donuts are not at city walk, Dh had to have the c&b one while we were in Portland. Enough doughnut for days.

And we finally officially put deposit down on our cruise in October-balcony cabin! Have multiple travel folders going with paper work to attempt to keep stuff straight LOL.
And DH went through his CC rewards today-and discovered some from an account he doesn't use anymore that will expire in July-good for gas on drive to Florida though!

Made beef tacos. Asked older one to take a pound bag of meat out of the freezer and put in sink to defrost, as he had no class today. Came home, he had took 2 bags out, the one having two pounds, and left on countertop. Found mostly defrosted three pounds of meat and a very wet countertop. Sigh, clean that up, then good thing I have a huge fry pan. DH will be happy there is leftovers.

So warm, kids want AC on. Nope, not yet.

Watching X men. Odd but interesting as well. Did not know we had the DVD.

Time for more tea.

I liked cruising, but cost has kept us off for a couple of years. Kids keep asking, as they enjoyed our cruses we did go on.

Good evening everyone. I’ve got to stop waiting so late to do my posting. I should be sleeping right now, but dh is at a concert and I know I will wake up when he gets home.

Work has taken and interesting turn. There are 4 therapists in my office (we are not a group practice, just independents who share office space). Two work full time and the other 2 are part time. A couple of months ago one of the full times announced that her husband is taking a new job in Tennessee. He starts on June 1 and she is supposed to join him there after she sells the house. Then one of the part timers (who also works full time at a local university) mentioned that he is considering doing only one job. We suspect he will keep the full time job with the school and give up his private clients. Now the other part timer (she works full time at the state mental health agency) says she was offered a job at a counseling center in a city about 4 hous away. I have no idea what is going to happen, but I really hope that I am not out of a job soon.

I am so envious of all of you that have trips coming up. I would love to go somewhere - anywhere right now. I thought about planing a short trip the last day of school since B doesn’t have to be there, but then remembered that she has to be in town the next day for graduation. The 9th 10th, and 11th grade band students are required to play at graduation.

Y’all are making me really want donuts.

Cruises - I’ve never done one either with the exception of day cruises that only lasted a few hours. I’m not a fan of water either. When we went to Alaska so many people asked me if we were going to cruise. Nope, never been interested in taking a cruise.

I hear dh coming in. Now I can go to sleep without the risk of being woken up later. Good night.

 

[macraven]

Good night homies

 

[schumigirl]

Charade, if you are out of a job, something else will come along.......maybe a new opportunity........

I want a doughnut!

MonyK.....wine on a deck sounds lovely!!! And sushi is good too........we don’t have really good sushi places over where we live.......go into London yes, there are a few places........but generally we wait till we are in The States......tried making my own once.........er, wasn’t something I was very good at........I can’t roll rice apparently.........



Thursday..........and the sun is finally shining as it should be.......beautiful day, lovely weekend weather ahead and no rain forecast for the next week........not bad at all!!

Ordered flooring this morning for both rooms......won’t be fitted till we get back now.......

Early lunch, grocery shopping and then not much else.......

7 sleeps till overnight at airport........not that I’m counting of course.......

Have a great Thursday.........

 

[Lynne G]

and it's a Thursday, and

as it's going to be a record breaking 91 today. Oh yes, that yellow start to a warm morning is so welcome. Our winter like April is long forgotten, and happy summer like weather comes more often now.

Yahoo for Schumi's countdown to be only a week now. Sounds like today is a lovely day of not doing much. Hope your early lunch was good. I hope you have a great day too.

Mac, Tink, Robo, and Charade, hope you are enjoying a smooth cup of coffee this morning.

Patty, safe travels and pictures. Hope you have great weather as well.

Last night, DH came home earlier than he usually does. I was in bed shortly before he came home. He left this morning, and I must have laid back down, as I don't remember him leaving. Oops. But, still on my schedule.

Charade, that is scary. I hope all goes well with the job.

With that I need tea. Thirsty Thursday is here, so drink up, with this heat, lots of water. That includes it flavored with grapes, tea leaves, and coffee beans.

Morning Sans family





Having my coffee in my HHN mug this morning. Hope they drop some more house information soon.

Lynne hope your tea is yummy this morning.

It’s raining and storming and blowing pretty hard now. The ground is pretty dry so we need the rain for sure.

The temps yesterday reached 84. I think the cool weather is gone for good.

I have a call out to Doc at IU. Have some questions about the stents removal. Leave for vacation with grandchildren 9 days after removal. Don’t want to be in Orlando if there is possibility of complications. Trying to be proactive.

Grandson is so excited about upcoming trip. We went out and shopped some clothes for him last week for vacation.

Charade hope the meds clear up your respiratory infection quickly.

Tink enjoy your two days off. Kick back and have a cocktail.

Have a great trip pattyw.

I had to go and look online at the Voodoo donuts and I saw the questionable designs. Probably won’t sell those at Universal.

Monykalyn enjoy your gardening.

Agavegirl1 hope the back is continuing to improve.

Schumi you will be in the Orlando sunshine before you know it

Mac hope you and hubby had a great trip.

Squirlz beautiful caddy. You and your wife enjoy your time at the Mini Cooper Rally. The cabin looks very nice.

Hubby and I went and looked at vehicles last weekend and the Cadillac model I have now the SRX in no longer being made. The vehicle they have in its place is the XT5. I have driven the XT5 on a couple of occasions while my SRX was being serviced and there are some exterior changes and some interior changes, but it is still is comfy.

When I came home from the store Tuesday hubby surprised me and said he ordered my new XT5. What a surprise. We were talking about getting a new one in July or August. He is such a sweet guy.

My older sister is coming through on her way back from her home in Orlando to Minnesota. Little sis is off work this weekend so will get to hang out with sisters this weekend. It’s not often that we can get everyone in the same place.
Looking forward to visit.

I have lunch out today with friend I used to work with. She is so fun. She’s is really good at finding new fun places to eat at.

Have a great Thursday everyone.

 

[macraven]

coffee time.....




Morning homies...!

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, so glad to see you are doing well. Nice to catch up with a friend over lunch. I hope stent removal is quick and no issues once removed.

Hey Mac! Coffee time is just in time. Enjoy your morning, and hope all is well with you too.

 

[tink1957]

Hi Robo good to hear from you and glad you're back in the swing of things...sounds like a lovely day and congrats on the new wheels. Trey got a new car this week too as the dealer called and offered him a great deal that lowered his interest considerably. It's nice that I didn't have to cosign this time as he has excellent credit now. It's really pretty dark blue and sparkly.

Good morning mac, Carole and Lynne. I'm going to enjoy my second cup of coffee before tackling the pile of laundry

Have a great day everyone
