Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Though I like USO more than Disney, I'd do Disney Robbie, since it's free. Maybe next visit, only do USO. Two jobs are tough, but at least gives you time to save up some money. Hang in there. So nice of you to see Mike's graduation.

Well, sunny right now, and still cold. Below freezing, with a high of 28. At least we're not in the teens, like the other days. Ready for the storm, the Nor-Easter that will hit on Saturday. What will be the pain, will be the 50 mph winds that will blow the wet snow everywhere. Thankfully, only 12 to 18 inches of snow expected. Time to break out the crock pot.

 

[Lynne G]

I'm with Kivara, on my second cup of hot tea. It's cold inside too.

Have a great Thursday, all!

 

[schumigirl]

Kivara, every movie deserves someone to like it........

Will keep cocktail for tonight I think..........it's only just after 3pm here ....and I'm all alone.....ill have tea too I think Janet.......like the idea!!

I don't drink much coffee in the uk, unless it's Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts........occasionally I'll make a milky coffee at home, but not often. In America I only drink coffee......same with dh.......tea just doesn't taste the same over there in Orlando

When mum and I go to NY we have to take her tea bags as she doesn't drink coffee.....but water is really
nice there and very drinkable so.....so I have both when I'm in NY...........

That really is something about nothing...........

1st glance thought this was picture of my ex, then realized it was just another dog.

carole - it's not the tea bags, it's the arful Orlando water.

lynne - did u see pictrues of DC's gridlock last night, all over 2 measly inches of snow. Probably a bigger train wreck iif they get the 3 feet that is currently projected to hit overnight tomorrow. I promised to make a cake today, but didn't realize I was short an egg. Hesitant to go to grocery store, since the preppers have probably wiped out all the staples as usual in advance of storm.

 

[schumigirl]

Janet, Yep......Florida water is like pond water....... Oh my aunt on LI was talking about a snow storm headed their way this weekend.......sounded nasty! Maybe that snow blower will get another outing when it's done..........


Just had a delivery..........weird.

24 bottles of Australian wine........we haven't ordered from this merchant for a while........so not quite sure what to think. Checked our account online with them and it shows no orders for about 8 months.

Tried to call them but no answer, must have gone for the day. It's very nice wine, I know that........dh says it wasn't him.

Will call them again tomorrow and find out about them.......won't unpack them until I'm sure there's not been a mistake.

Another quiet night in, again.........hope something decent on tv..........

 

[Lynne G]

Haha! Keisha. I still love almost all dogs. We're almost ready to welcome one into our house again, but the not worry about getting home for the dog is growing on me. Kids are still lobbying for it though.

Yeah, the grocery stores are packed here too. I did go over and get some apples and rolls. My meager bag was no match for the over packed carts I saw. We do snow pretty well, so I fully expect to be on the road on Sunday afternoon. We only got a dusting last night. I am hoping though, that the bulls eye stays south and east of us.

 

[Lynne G]

Wow Schumi, of all the deliveries to get. Of course you'd get wine. LOL Maybe a mix up with another customer? So odd. A late holiday gift from someone?

Ok, I need a cold tea. Seems complaints of no warmth inside have been heard and now too hot in here. My luck at times!

I agree, the Orlando water is just yuck. I even tried to put flavor drops in a cup, and even that didn't help the taste. I guess spoiled with good water where we live.

Dreaming of the beach right now, it's overcast and cool.

It would be a very expensive gift if it was .....I can't imagine anyone who would know that was our favourite wine and where to get it like that, and who would pay the prices...........it must be a mistake......but, there's 12 of our favourites and 12 of our second favourites from them.....bit coincidental really. Will find out tomorrow.......

Yeah.....kinda dreaming of some sunshine over here right now too..........and heat.......gorgeous heat!!!

I decided to just leave Sunday instead of Saturday and do 2 or 3 Universal days, and the rest at Disney.

I keep saying every year I'm gonna do Typhoon Lagoon, but I'm just not that big a water park person. So if I change my mind and don't do that, then I'll do a third UOR day. The tix I can get through the discount site at my work has buy 2 get 2 free.

Or Legoland.

Plus that way I can do 1 and a half Epcot days and keep the half day bus for the flower and garden food booths.

We had our ribbon cutting for our call center today (the brand I'm under is new to the customer service company) even though we've been live since like November. Oh well. Free food and cake.

 

[Lynne G]

Nice Robbie. I would go the other day at UOR and make the most of the 4 days there. Have a great trip whatever you decide. Free food is always good.

Ok, Schumi, what happened with that unexpected wine delivery?

Time to gas up the cars and hunker down to get ready for the storm. State of Emergency called. So, I will try to take pictures of the snow tomorrow. So far, about a foot and a half.

Oh and it is Friday! Since I am typing on my iPad, any TGIF images others can share?

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Just a quick drive by to say HI.
Been real busy with work and DS. He cut his finger pretty good on Tuesday and I had to take him to the ER. 7 stitches later and a wrapped up hand and we were on our way home. He is doing better going to doctor tides to get looked at. It is cold here but we like it .....most of the time. Lol

 

[Kivara]

Here ya go Lynne:

 

[Kivara]

I heard FREE CAKE! Two best words in the English language.

Lynne, stay warm and safe! Can't wait to see pics.

MrsBluer, hope your son's finger heals well & quickly!

And to everyone, have a lovely weekend! (I am also curious to see the outcome of the mystery wine, Schumi!)

 

[Lynne G]

Thanks Kivara! Always smile when I see a minion.

Oh Mrs. Bluer. Hope DS's finger heals quickly. And hope he is feeling better.

At 21 degrees. Had to wear my gloves, as I hate cold hands.


Just so Mac does not miss snow, I will stick my iPad out in the storm to show all the homies.

For those in the storm or storm path, safe and warm thoughts to you.

Have an awesome weekend all!

 

[macraven]

It's Friday already?


What is snow?
How quickly I have forgotten that word



Will be back later
Off to do errands

 

[goofyfigment]

Quick drive by to say hi

 

[klo1335]

For those in the storm or storm path, safe and warm thoughts to you.

We are expecting anywhere from 10-18 inches tomorrow. Thank goodness we go a snowblower in the Fall! Stay safe and warm

 

[schumigirl]

Quick drive by to say hi

.......nice to see ya.........


Glad bluer still has all his fingers!! Nasty..........



Wine mystery solved. Finally got to speak to MD of the company and he told us who it was from.

It was a gift from a friend we helped out just over a year ago. He's doing great now and was just an added thank you for our help. There was supposed to be a card with the delivery, but it got missed and was left in the office. They're sending it out today.

Will call him tomorrow but he's in Dubai living and working now so with time difference it'll have to wait. Wasn't necessary, but very kind of him


We are getting the opposite of the East coast of USA.......it's getting milder and we have to get 58f on Sunday.......looks awful over there.........

Movie night tonight.........hope all in the snow path are ok........

Goofy - Hey you!

MrsBluer - oh Lord, at least he still has finger intact, owie

mac - ha, give it a decade or two, then you'll miss the snow

Lynne - yes, post those pictures! Funny to see southern FB friends excitedly posting pictures of a inch or two of snow. Nice for their kids to have a chance to experience it. Saw packed parking lots at two different stores and didn't even bother trying to find a parking space. Assume the hoarders act the same whether it's a tropical or snow storm.

carole - how nice for you! can't imagine how heavy that box was.

seems i may be catching the bug family has been passing around afterall. Spent the last two week running thru hand sanitizer to no avail lol, good weekend to flop on couch w/cuppa tea & regroup. Have a good one all.

 

[schumigirl]

Janet........was 4 boxes of 6 wines in each, so not too bad.........got them stored now......although we did open one tonight to toast our friend ............well, would be rude not to........ Aww you caught their cold after all..........feet up and get pampered!!! Them's the rules...........


Watched The Wedding Ringer tonight.........good movie.....gotta love Kevin Hart........funny guy.......
