Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Trying to decide what to have for lunch..........either roast chicken sandwich with some salad or bacon brie and cranberry toasted sandwich..........choices..........

Then I have to do some housework.......not much to do, but I have to do it........

Have a great Thursday.......

 

[Robo56]

Happy Thursday everyone

 

[keishashadow]

I'm sure there is something productive I should be doing today...oh yeah...now I remember!

 

[schumigirl]

Ended up with tuna melt sandwich.......not quite sure how I ended up with that........

We are now playing poker with real chips instead of coins.......so much fun and I'm getting better according to my lovely son who is patiently teaching me.........

Hope mac got away ok today.......email is playing up again......will be sorted by tomorrow apparently.......happens all too often.

Our clocks go back this weekend.......can't believe how quickly that has come around!!

 

[keishashadow]

Caught first episode of AHS Hotel last night

Not a fan of Gaga or vampire things.....so that put me off right away.....but wth!!!! I said to DH if this ends with Hotel California playing I`m out.........yep.....it came on.......

Kind of had a Shining feel about it, but not as good. And a bit gross. Love Kathy Bates though......but too cliché for me. May try next week and see.........

Had a productive time earlier cleaning my oven.......well, the shelves......I have the shiniest oven shelves ever according to my friends......I just know they`re gonna want pizza tonight now.......always happens!!! Will tell them I`ve got no flour or get takeout........

Happy Friday.........

and a funny:

So much for our 70 degree days, we'll be in the 50's and highs of 62 for the next couple of days. That blanket I keep in the car may be used again during the soccer games this week-end. Somehow the fields always feel colder or hotter.

Hope Mac has all go well.

And, who's traveling today? Chickie and family? Have an awesome trip and safe travels. No catching a ride on the rocket!

Belle is almost ready to travel too, right? Wahoo to a countdown.

Hoping Mrs. Bluer's foot will be fully healed soon.

I vote for take out, Schumi - I'd keep the oven clean!

I feel the same about AHS this season...just can't get into it.

It's a beautiful day here...the sun is shining, temps in the 80s....think I'll go outside and enjoy it while I can.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

 

[schumigirl]

Definitely take advantage of the sunshine and heat Vicki.....winter is just around the corner........our clocks go back this weekend....dark nights next week........extra hour in bed Sunday morning though.....yay.....

Glad it's not just me with AHS.......the first one was so good and original, this one is definitely style over substance........and Ryan Murphy definitely has a type of guy he likes in his shows.........he once said they're never going to use vampires as a storyline........maybe he's running out of ideas....for me I think this should be the last......he's being extra gratuitous for the sake of it now........have heard the second episode is not fun to watch, may give it a miss.


Ended up going out for dinner tonight.........new seafood restaurant opened while we were in the states about half an hour away from us.......was lovely......now got bottle of wine and watching movie.......ideal Friday night....

 

[schumigirl]

You still got sunshine Vicki?

Raining here and miserable........watching the weather though as my best friends parents and her brother and family are in Mexico right now.........scary.

Quiet day planned.........although thinking about going to go karts this afternoon.......

 

[tink1957]

Hi

Yes Carole...the sun is still shining for now. We're getting rain in a few days ...scary indeed on Patricia and all in her path. Hope your friend is ok.

 

[buckeev]

Rain!? Did somebody say RAIN!? Gage and I left the house for a "quick" trip to Dallas for the weekend yesterday morning.....normally a 4-ish hour drive...
14-1/2 hours later....
Stuck on Hwy 45 in a 30+mile long saturated parking lot. I've been around rain storms many, many times...but never seen it rain so hard, for so long. I've read accounts of 4-inch per hour rates, and that didn't surprise me at all!...Wondering now if we'll be able to get back tommorow afternoon!

Safe and dry for now!

Glad to hear you having a nice day.......ours turned out nice too......although it's cold tonight.......

Watching Jurassic World.........and we get extra hour in bed tonight.....clocks go back.....yay......

 

[schumigirl]

Buckeev........wow....that's a journey and a half!! We've been watching the weather over there and it looks bad!!

Hope you have a better journey home tomorrow..........

 

[schumigirl]

Evening.........its pitch black now at 5pm as clocks went back last night......loved the extra hour in bed! Even managed a snooze this afternoon as it got slightly darker.........love it!

Peppered Beef in ale and creamy mash for dinner.......

 

[keishashadow]

we even got hit with Patricia's rain last night, blowing sideways & hitting the bedroom windows very loudly last night.

I'm going with stir fried shrimp and new found recipe for WDW-O'hana Yakisoba Noodles. guess I should rustle up something green too

ready to send the hound out to find mac.

I have a Universal commando (not me, I've done 1 EE in all the years I've visited and strolled in 20 minutes before official opening time) question I'm going to ask here...

If the park of the day for EE is stated @ 8 am, what time do we really need to be @ the gates on Friday 11/8 & Saturday 11/9?

It's supposed to be crazy busy due to veterans day & WDW race weekend. I'm reading on various crowd sites that they often open the gates a half hour earlier than stated. I'll go with the flow for GD & DiL, just don't want to standing outside longer than necessary.

 

[schumigirl]

Janet.......Think mac is home tonight??? I'm sure she said it was Sunday she was back.........

Can't help with your time question.....never have done EE........someone will though........thinking about shrimp now..........

Watching the US Grand Prix.......weather cleared up for it......

Planning a baking day tomorrow........

 

[pcstang]

I've only done EE once and I think it was a couple of months after EFG opened. If I remember correctly EE was at 7. My son and I got to the gates at 5:45 and the gates opened at 6:30. We ride EFG twice before 7. I'm giving this info with a warning....I usually don't get out of before 9 am at the earliest so I may have a slightly clouded memory of the EE day! Lol

 

[schumigirl]

Didn't get any baking done at all today.......trip report took longer than expected......computer was playing up.......then DS came home not feeling great........he only missed one lecture today, so will catch up with his friends on that......first lecture he's missed in two years.......he fell asleep and got up feeling better........

So apart from clean all the bathrooms.....haven't done much today at all........

Yep...Those same remnants of Hurricane Patricia dumped even more rain on many parts of Texas...But at least the main roads we traveled home on yesterday were open.
We've gotten through the gates for EE as early as 6:15-ish (on days with an official 8:00 open time)....and the line was already pretty long. (of course, it was during the holidays, so...you're mileage may vary).
