Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

I don't know who The Fray or Fall Out Boy are............... Nor Pitbull actually.............but I do know REO Speedwagon..........love em.........


We have started watching the very first series of WD........ Yes we are kinda late to the party...........blame us if they cancel it now.......that's what usually happens when we finally get around to watching something like this!

It is freezing here........snow and hailstones through the night........will give going out a miss today I think......will wait till Tuesday when it's supposed to be nicer.

Monday again..........

 

[macraven]

Yes it is Monday now
You are up early!

Reo I know
Went to school with one of the charter members younger brother
Fall out boy group also know
One of my sons knows him from
The industry business

Well Carole, are you hooked on wd now?
I watched the marathon and tonight's show and the encore
Can't wait until next Sunday for more

Will be cold here today and tomorrow then a warm up
Hope your weather brightens up more real soon for you

 

[schumigirl]

I think we are kind of hooked.......never thought I would be saying that.......ever!!! I hate anything with zombies in.........but this is fun! I do like Andrew Lincoln so that helps........although it's strange hearing his accent! Well, better late than never......we have it in that android box thing, so can binge watch it and we'll be caught up soon enough..........well, maybe a couple of episodes a night will do it!

Glad you enjoyed the start of the new season..........does it still have the same hold for you all these seasons in? When I watched Dexter I adored it.......but by the end I was kinda fed up and wanted it to end...especially for his whiny sister!

Yep, up early for me........just couldn't sleep......hailstones were pounding on the windows and I'm sure I heard one of the farmers out with his gun around 4.30 am.........well, hope it was a farmer!!!

Was supposed to be getting some dollars today......our exchange rate is not brilliant right now....but hey ho.....no point whining over it.......it is what it is..........

 

[macraven]

With my sleep schedule you should live next door to me

We could drink coffee/tea and eat cake at midnight and play poker

 

[schumigirl]

Lol.........that would work! I can play poker now thanks to my DS..........he's very patient.......although I do tell him I don't like the bluffing part........yes I know that's a big part of poker........ But I don't like it.........I'm not that sore a loser either......... And of course cake is always good.........unless it's carrot cake........that's not cake........that belongs in room 101 with trifle!!

Hailstones are bouncing off the Windows again........

 

[macraven]

It's hard to sleep during a hail storm
Almost as bad as trying to sleep when another person in the room snores



Thinking about what I just said, I'd take the hail storms

That's everyone up now...........won't be long till they're both out for the day......just hope the roads are not too bad........always a worry..........

 

[schumigirl]

Asked my guys what exotic delight they would like me to rustle up for dinner tonight..........both answered the same thing........

Frozen fish fingers and fries with peas!!! I never buy those usually as I prefer to make my own, but did pick up a packet few weeks ago and they spotted them.......I'm having pulled pork with sweet potato wedges.

Been snowing all day, but it's stopped now.......still cold though. Spent most of the day doing housework.......not very exciting.........

 

[macraven]

Monday again

Snow schumi, oh no!!

 

[schumigirl]

Monday again

Snow schumi, oh no!!

Seems to be gone now hopefully........have to go to dentist tomorrow........crown again! The dentist I go to is about 40 minutes inland so if it snows there it can get hit worse than us beside the sea........but touch wood it's gone for now........

About to watch 3rd and 4th episode of WD...........I was convinced he was never getting out of that army tank alive last night........lol.......Tom said well considering he's in all the episodes I'm pretty sure he makes it............it's graphic but fun! Poor old horse! And I said I'd never watch it.............

Didn't enjoy dinner tonight.........but they loved their frozen prepackaged fish fingers??? They did say my home made ones were much better of course, but I'm not so sure they meant it.............

 

[macraven]

schumi looks like we are the only ones home today.
guess the other homies might be doing the president sales today if they got work off/holiday.

i never get a holiday off here.
wait, i don't work anymore

to make others like me again, we will be hit with cold and nasty weather
rain started a few minutes ago and since my house is not on flat land, we won't have to build an ark.

 

[Lynne G]

Let it snow, let it snow.

Morning errands on this holiday Monday. Staying in, the snow is freezing on the roads. Then the freezing rain and sleet tonight. Happily, some warm air will be arriving early tomorrow morning, so I hope I don't have an icy commute.

Might make some chocolate cupcakes, to heat up the kitchen. House feels cold. Well, at 16F and snowing, I guess everything is cold.

Enjoy the day all!

 

[schumigirl]

Yeah that's the downside of being a happy housewife with no work commitments........no time off to think about..........ah heck who am I kidding.......I love it!! Not a bad life........I fill my time well!

Didn't know you had a holiday over there today???

Yes your house is in a nice position not to float away........shame you have nasty weather though.....it's been so pleasant there mainly since you arrived.......

 

[macraven]

i'm guessing you all slept in this morning lynne.

no morning minioinions coffee posted....

isn't it sweet to have a holiday on a monday.
makes a shorter work week ..

yea, weather is nasty again.
tornadoes in mississppi again, and rain coming down strong in parts of georgia.

we were going to go out of town for a bottle of booze but decided not to when the heavy rains started.

just saw this and had to make a comment.......
downside of being a housewife.
i think i will love it.
i love it so much i have stopped unpacking boxes and stopped shopping for furniture, drapes, rugs, etc

of course the rooms look like we just moved in and the constant concern i had to get things all in order is no longer nagging me.


schumi today is presidents day and it is a federal holiday.
when i was growing up in southern illinois, that state could decide to use lincolns birthday or washington's birthday for a legal holiday.
missouri which was 2 miles from where i lived, celebrated Washington's bd
since honest abe was from illinois, the state used his bd for state offices to be closed.

schools and legal offices are closed on presidents day.
all the states use the same official date.

That is such an odd thing to think about for us over here that can buy booze anywhere and with some exceptions, anytime...........I understand why. I remember Janet explaining how it worked where she lives too.........

Ah of course, Presidents Day.......I have heard of it with all the talk of Presidents Week......same thing??? Didn't realise it was today......

Don't fret about the boxes, drapes, boxes, rugs, boxes.........lol.......you'll get there......you will

Still haven't put WD on.......still listening to my 80's radio channel on tv .........I'm addicted! DH is howling with laughter watching "classic fails" videos on my other iPad........

Rain is heading this way too. Current tornado watch is until 9 tonight. Tis that time of the year! I'll take the rain over Schumi and the others sleet, hail and snow! The alcohol laws here in the Deep South are a little crazy, no doubt about it. Hell, the Jack Daniels distillery is located in a dry county in Tennessee!

 

[Lynne G]

Hey Pcstang, long time and nice to see ya. Any October visits to universal this year? I will be back 8 to 14 though also saying hello to the mouse 2 to 8. If you would be around, dis meet would be nice. Enjoyed our meet last year. Hope no tornado passes by your home.

I live in a Quaker state, so we have much more strict rules on alcohol. I am always amazed in the south. Maybe not much difference in prices, but where I can buy.

Chicken taco for dinner. Since I have a day off, no big dinner for me.

I forgot about where JD was made.......yep, crazy........dry areas are totally alien here..........not a concept that would work.........in England we can buy booze anywhere pretty much 24 hours a day in grocery stores......limited hours on Sunday......Scotland has different buying laws.......can't buy before 10am for some reason during the week but can buy later than us on a Sunday.......odd!!

Yeah I'd rather have rain......but not your tornados!!! Yikes.......that's scary........
