Something About Nothing ... #12

Hey Bobbie, good to see ya post here. No advice, just that costs are some what of a shock. Told my DH that the cost of room and board was as much as putting her on a cruise for 6 months. We are also asking her to look at 2 more schools. Pitt said they open admissions mid August. I'm like, oh my, but we are pushing her to submit her application to at least 3. I am still having a hard time seeing this fall starts her senior year. She's my youngest, so that empty nest is slowly being built, though building may be on hold, as our older one is on the 5 or 6 year plan. He's finishing up his 2nd in 2 and 1/2 years. Sigh. One excited for school and one that is doing it because he has to. Wild child and homebody. Siblings. And yes, some of the teachers in the high school are amused that little one is related to older one.

With that lunch is over, coffee was purchased, mostly to warm my hands.

Have a great Wednesday afternoon --- hey Keisha, camel --- Wednesday, yes wine Wednesday too.
 
Trying to get in a quick post while at lunch. Our phones are down today. I can’t make or receive calls.

Today’s excitement - we got a wasp in the office. I’m a bit phobic about stinging insects. I managed to find some bug spray. Not for wasps, but it did the trick. One of our clients killed he wasp for me. My hero.

Stupid phone reloaded and I lost my quotes. I’ll be back later with responses.
 

I’m with you Charade! I’m an animal lover but draw the line at bugs! My son Troy will catch a fly or ant in the house , and put them in a paper cup to release outside. Even he draws the line on spiders and stinging bugs! Yuk!

I’m having a terrible time posting here on my computer. Keeps freezing up! Tried my phone and it’s better!
 
Charade I have had that issue of the page reloading and losing everything that I had posted

Once today got that notice and it to me six times to redo the one post

I know your pain in losing what you wrote and having to try again
 
Yep, I keep a can of bee and wasp spray next to the front door and one in my laundry room. I hate most flying insects, and am allergic to bee stings, so no to a wasp, for sure. Had one in my hair doing laundry one time, I screamed, but killed it. Thankfully did not sting me. Yep, I get that reloading mostly on my ipad. Not fun.

schumigirl- It's great you are able to travel so much to a place that you love. My philosophy is "life is too short, so enjoy it while you can". Jealousy can be an ugly emotion and it's to bad that people waste their time on it. Enjoy those walks with your friend's dog.

Thanks Bobbie.......it is lovely to be able to make such a big journey so often......and I agree about life being too short, I believe “you’re a long time dead” and life is for living........

I’ve never understood jealousy or one upmanship, but heyho.......you’re right it is so ugly. If you’re happy with your life it should have no place there........anyway, yes, I’m going to enjoy that puppy as much as I can!

Went out tonight a walk with her and the pups........I’m whooped now!!! :D

No insects or bugs or animals of any kind allowed in my home........it’s for human kind only.......hate wasps too!!! At least bees have a function.........if you haven’t been invited in or live here, you get squished or sprayed........

It’s been hard work posting pictures the last few days as well as the reloading ........takes so much time.......



So, my Wednesday night buddy cancelled so I called my other friend with the pups.......new one is fine to now to be out among other dogs, so we walked along the beach tonight.......and bless the lab......she doesn’t like water!!! The little bichon was in before we could stop her.......but Poppy the lab wasn’t having any of it........boy did we walk far!!!

Warmed up a little tonight........
 
This has been a long day for me.
Busy since the time I got up today.
(notice I did not say morning but just "today")
Not bad weather as it has not dropped to 88.

Tomorrow will start a multi day in a row in the 90's
Have a hair appointment tomorrow and that is the only time I will be out of the house until later in the evening.


Give me an ac house, car and stores, and i'm good with our weather....lol


I totally agree with all the other homies that have commented on the website issues.
I constantly on either the cell or computer, get the webpage reloading, or error note.
I have been losing everything I wrote out and I do make some long posts.

I will be glad when that problem stops.
 
I was going to come back and post after I got off work, but when I got home I sat down in my recliner and then next thing I knew it was almost 6:00. We had to grab a quick supper because dh is involved in a community theater production and had to be at rehearsal at 7:00.

I got a interesting Facebook instant message this afternoon. It was from one of dh’s cousins who he has not seen for over 40 years. I’m not sure how she found me and not him.

Instead of a cat meme, here is my Smokey! We rescued him from the SPCA when he was about 2 years old. He had a lot of anxiety when we first brought him home. I think it was from losing his home! He follows me everywhere! So sweet- but he is an attention hog- as soon as I pay attention to the others, he's right there!
He’s so pretty. I would love to have an attention hog. Caspian will only allow us to give him attention on his terms.

I like the name now. All of my other cats (past and present) I've had from kittens and I name them people names. I was going to change his name- but that was the name he was used to so we kept it!
Curent cat has a people name, but my first cat was called Sundown. He was abandoned by his family, so several of the people in my townhouse row started feeding him. Someone started calling him Sundown because that was when we started seeing him each day. He eventually adopted my family. He was a tuxedo kitty.

Lazy morning, then afternoon and evening at Magic KIngdom. And oldest is off for today and tomorrow! Speaking of cats. She has been sending me all these pics of kittens that need foster or permanent homes- she wants a kitty bad. Not ready to take on a new animal yet...
Sounds like a good, relaxing vacation. I follow our 2 local humane societies on Facebook. Probably a dangerous thing since they are constantly posting pictures of adorable animals.

Sorry if I missed anyone I always seem to be in a hurry and busier when school is in. I actually have a less hectic schedule when school is out. In a week we are done then it's on to packing
Hope you have a great trip.

We are also asking her to look at 2 more schools. Pitt said they open admissions mid August. I'm like, oh my, but we are pushing her to submit her application to at least 3.
B has one school in mind but dh wants her to expand her options. The school she wants to attend is local, so we are missing out on the college visits.

Yep, I keep a can of bee and wasp spray next to the front door and one in my laundry room.
I think I should get some for the office. I need the kind that i can spray from a distance.

Tonight B got an email from our Girl Scout council. SInce she registered early for next year (she’s not very active in scouts anymore, but I still keep her registration current) she is eligible for discount admission to a “local” (2 hour drive for us) indoor waterpark. She really wants to go, but me not so much. I usually have dh go with er to waterparks, but I don’t think he wants to spend an evening with a bunch of Girl Scouts.

Sounds heavenly! Cold front is here(going away tomorrow! yay!)
My heat is on now Mac!

Thanks! My girl, Riley is like Caspian!

He eventually adopted my family. He was a tuxedo kitty.

Sundown was very smart to pick a great home!

The school she wants to attend is local, so we are missing out on the college visits.

Both of my boys went to our local university so no college visits for me either! But we did save a lot because they lived at home and commuted to school.

I usually have dh go with er to waterparks, but I don’t think he wants to spend an evening with a bunch of Girl Scouts.

:laughing: I guess it's your turn this time! Find a comfortable chair and get a cool drink!
 
Oh, we could save a boatload of money if little one went to local University, but she said having none of that. Older one is fine with commuting, but not little one. Guess we saved at least 2 years of room and board, though cost of having him at home, we are still paying for.

Cup of tea, and relaxing. Made pasta for dinner, as all felt like that. Easy for me. One pot and one dish. Not much left for DH, so I hope he is not hungry. It is a very late night for him, so I never know. If he is really tired, he will go right to bed, and I will be sound asleep, though I wake when I hear him come in, but will fall back asleep if he does not come into the bedroom quickly.

Just decided to make another three day weekend. I will save a full work week until next week. Hey, summer is coming, even if we have not seen summer temps in many a day now. Hello cold low weather system.
 
Oh, we could save a boatload of money if little one went to local University,
We will save a ton of money. She wants to attend the university where dh teaches. This means free tuition. Dh thinks she should live on campus. I’m fine with her commuting from home, but that means she would need a car.
 
Lynne- It's good that your DD knows what she wants and she'll find a school that will make her happy! and successful!
Hoping to say goodbye to our cold front tomorrow! Yay for shorter work week!

Charade- that is wonderful about FREE tuition! But yes- a car purchase is major. My boys had cars in college and they drove around their friends who dormed and didn't have cars. So I guess what we save in one place, we spend somewhere else!
 
I totally understand the bite in the wallet of having a kid in college and they live away from home. $$$

I had 4 sons go away for school.

We covered every penny of it and provided the transportation for them
(That means I drove to pick them up during school and long christmas breaks and drove them back to school.)

Since they never took out any student loans, they graduated debt free, which not many young people can say.

I felt like I won the lottery once they graduated.

 
Quick drive by this morning........

Off to meet my bestest friend for the day, we chat and have lunch and chat some more........we meet somewhere in the middle for both of us as we live further away than we used to when we first met........but always have the best day.

Thursday Mac..............:wave2:

And we still have a little grey weather..........hoping the sun comes out as I have a dress on..........I can try and look summery!!

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

Have an enjoyable day Schumi, with your friend. And yes, no sun to see for us either. Cool and gray as well. Long sleeve blouse today, so no summer look for me, but I am sure your dress is lovely, and summer inspired.


And yes it is, upload_2018-6-7_6-42-42.jpeg. That's right,

Happy Thursday all!! Sun and 72 today-looking even better the next few days!

Short work day today- have to pick up my mom and do some errands with her. Then, we're going out to dinner with her and my cousin. Lasagna night at our local Italian restaurant. Homemade- and a huge plate for ... $6.99!!!
Eating light this morning and afternoon!

Have a great day!!

Happy Thursday!
Sounds like a fun time with your friend Schumi!
Morning Mac :wave2:
Nicer weather soon I hope Lynne.
Lasagne sounds good Patty! Can't beat the price either.

Animal kingdom today. Storm blew through yesterday afternoon, then pretty pleasant evening. Stuffed after dinner at Liberty Tree. Had a wine spritzer with dinner- bit weird to get alcohol in MK. Son thinks he's brave now after riding RnR - hands up on Big thunder and mine train...extra magic hours last night- we lasted an hour. Usually we close it down as the waits really does drop the last hour.

Need coffee...::yes::
