Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Home with a sick boy. Tummy troubles-finally have him laying down. He is really not having a good day-a book I pre-ordered for him as part of his Christmas present was supposed to deliver today-guess there must have been a delay in publication date as now it won't be here til next week. He had been looking forward to this - really getting excited past couple days-and now a delay. I've never had an issue with pre order before so I obviously told him it would be today-until I got the notice-sad little face.

OTOH-got notice last night we are approved for a White House tour for upcoming mom/daughter trip in 2 weeks! I am excited even if DD isn't as much LOL.

Sertoma Chili Cookoff this weekend-will be a looonng weekend (will be there ~8 hours friday and probably 12 hours Saturday) but so much fun-have to raise funds to pay for the new Boys and Girls club building Sertoma pledged!

As per usual here-the snow is skipping us and we may barely get rain...I think they send weather people here to humble them trying to (accurately) predict the weather...
Hope everyone is have a Terrific Tuesday!

i'm blonde and sometimes slow so that is my excuse for just getting to your posting.
it's always tough when your boys are sick.
hope he is feeling better real soon.
and that is a sorry situation when a preorder doesn't come when it is supposed to.
maybe it will come in earlier than later.

take your camera when you go to the white house.
pictures are now allowed to be taken inside.

take pictures of corners for me as i want to see if that place is really clean or not.
and if there is dirt or crud in the corners, i'll know i'm a better housekeeper than the white house staff.

hope you don't get snow.
think you are on the western portion of missouri.
i lived on the eastern edge portion until i moved to chicago
nasty winters on the western part of the state but lovely summers, fall and spring.

i have always loved the muppets.
always..

Do send an ark Tink. We have had cold rain all day and will get that southern storm tomorrow afternoon. Heavy rain, and up to 60 mph winds, will be a wild ride for sure on the way home. Thankful no tornado warning, just damaging winds.

MK, hope your DS feels better soon. I hope he gets his book soon too. Seems both books and video games sometimes push back release dates several times. Never too late for a Christmas gift.

Robbie, I would at least spend some time at the water park. I actually like Typhoon Lagoon. I like snorkeling with the fish, the water coaster, and the lazy river. Pretty park. Next to Disney Springs, so not far from the parks. Have a great trip.

getting rain is so much better than getting snow.

and it is pouring here now still but no way would i wish for snow instead of rain.

Thanks for the well wishes-lil guy felt better by bedtime so hopefully school tomorrow. Finally getting a few wet snowflakes. Too warm for accumulation.

Hope everyone planning trips to Florida is writing trip reports!

@macraven - I am so happy they allow pictures again! I can take my phone, ID and a camera but that is it-no bags, water, food etc. Pics of corners high and low will be taken

If you go to the library of congress you can go across the street and get a library card. Just tell them you are doing "research." It's pretty cool to go down into the library.
Stay safe in the south! Tornado passed about a half mile from my house. Water in my MIL suite and garage. Friend had the tornado go by his house. Trees down everywhere and they totaled 3 of his vehicles. Scary night! Another severe thunderstorm warning just issued for me! Fun times!

 

[macraven]

i was watching weather channel and they talked about that area with the severe storms and tornado watch.

hope you are safe from all the destruction that is goiong on in your area!


i asked Mr Mac this evening what do we do if a tornado comes in our area as we don't have a basement.
he said we would probably die if it hit us.

so, i'm still up worrying what we would do if one happened in our area.........lol

 

[pcstang]

Lol we got the kids up and took them to the pantry. It was close and scary. Of course, being a weather nut, I had to go out and watch. More wind than any of the Hurricanes I went through when I lived in Florida! I was there from 89 through 08 so I've seen a few...

 

[macraven]

well, it is still storming where i am .....
but i'm not going outside to stand in the rain

i hope you had an umbrella when you went outside.
i have no idea which box i packed our umbrellas in.....lol

 

[schumigirl]

Mac.........me too..........I thought it was Friday Janet left for her trip..............Have a wonderful time to janet and her mister............bet they have a blast!!!

Well, mr mac is honest I'll say that mac............hope the weather dissipates soon..........I don't mind rain, but we don't get the horrendous tornados and storms you do..........


Looks another beautiful day over here.........very frosty crisp morning.........

It's Wednesday..............

Hope Keisha and her DH are having a great time and not getting so much of this rain.

No sun to be seen today either. Pcstang, I am glad to hear that no one was hurt and all are okay. Scary weather for sure. We're getting the bulk of that storm later today, just high winds, but not tornado level, and thunderstorms. Thankfully, out to sea by tomorrow morning.

Mac, yep, I am glad it's not snow either. We are still in the 30's, so we don't get warmer weather until April, and even then, we can get snow.

MK, glad to hear the boy is feeling better. We got alerts from our kids' schools about whooping cough. When there's kids stuck in school all day, germs spread even more, and I am hoping neither kid gets it.

So, from a very wet and cold morning, take care all!

The sun is out after a stormy night
Contrary to what I thought...I slept like a log.

Hope Janet has a wonderful trip...enjoy Fall Out Boy for me.

Lynne...whooping cough doesn't anyone get vaccinated anymore?

PC...glad you made it though the storms safely...scarry times.

My plans for the day are to veg out on the couch between doing loads of
laundry

Happy Hump day to all

Rise in people not getting kids vaccinated is scary! Another worry about all the immigrants we're getting!

I had a housework and laundry morning.......just had a snooze........snap!! Similar day Vicki..........nothing like a good nights sleep though!



Trying to decide between having healthy baked fish and veg for dinner or chicken in sticky spicy bbq sauce (thanks mac) with kinda healthy wedges...............

 

[macraven]

I'd go with the pizza

 

[schumigirl]

I'd do with the pizza

I'm supposed to stick to Saturday for pizza according to DS!!! Wednesday is his Mac n cheese day......he has his routine!!! Going with chicken........DH just called and went for that one..........

One of his lecturers gave all in his group a gift today.......it's National Engineers Week apparently..........he is in his final year doing his Masters degree in Chemical Engineering........but they haven't to open it till they graduate!!!! That's in July......I couldn't wait that long.

But, no, he's put it away in his desk...........couldn't even guess what it is! Oh lecturer is American......think that's why as they hadn't heard it was this week.........

 

[marciemi]

HEY !!!

this is monday and we didn't do a send off for homie janet/keishashadow!!!!

Was supposed to meet her today at MK but due to forecast (and it looks like it's been pouring/storming there much of the morning - strangely we're about 20 minutes north and have had a few light sprinkles and now it's sunny!) she swapped her MK and Epcot days to be indoors at Epcot more of today. Meeting them tomorrow afternoon for some rides and then we'll all meet with Royce after work for dinner somewhere on 192. Looking forward to seeing her again!

Penny had to reschedule for next week due to health issues with her MIL (mummy dust welcomed for her!) and will be down in April instead - we'll meet someday!

 

[macraven]

that's good you were able to reschedule your plans with her.
i know you have been able to meet up with janet before so you know what a hoot she is.

remember when i used to do the birthday list for the homies here.
you and penny were/are birthday twins.
you can recelebrate your birthdays together when you see her in april.

i've been watching the weather for orlando and keep hoping it gets better for keisha and mr keisha.
storms and heavy rains during a vacation to the land of sunshine really suxs big time.

i've been to epcot a few times when it was sunny and bright.
called a friend that was in the studios at the darkside and they had heavy rain and wind.

even a few miles can make a difference in weather.

 

[macraven]

Wet, windy and cold here

Then I look at the calendar and it's only feb

Still much better here weather wise than where I used to live

 

[pcstang]

Here's a pic of my friends garage...what's left of it. His f150 and expedition also got crushed by trees. He lives about 2 miles from me.
