Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

My wife had to have a special color of black on her minivan. I told her it would be a PIA to keep clean. Didn't take her long to agree! White is the way to go!

No no. Silver!

I made it I made it!
We had a few delays... But we got in the parks around 3:30. We've done pretty much all of USF and waiting for beignets now. Transformers has stopped and rode us through twice now. We're giving up on it for the day

Mac glad you're feeling a little better.

Everyone else

Hubby had a Eldorado a few years ago with that beautiful dark green exterior and camel colored leather interior. They are beautiful cars and you are right they can fly. As you said when things start going wrong and they are no longer under warranty they are a money pit. He bought it new and had it for for 15 years and it looked brand new.

We happen to be up at St. Meinard Archabbey with family visiting right after we bought the car and the Archabbot who was a friend of my husbands brother asked if my husband wanted it blessed. Husband said "why not". That car did not have a scratch on it when we traded it in.

lol take help where you can find it. Yes, had the same interior. comfiest seats ever with that lumbar adjustment. Mine would've qualified for classic plates too, low miles sigh.

I think you missed my Tuesday post to say we are going on annual round table of Chicago civil war tour
Shenandoah valley

Sunday we go to Arlington Va and will be back home Monday night

It suxs getting sick in a hotel room
Hiltons are fine but nothing like being home when puking your guts out

Today no puking at all which was a great thing!

Hope all homies dont catch my noro virus by reading this. Lol

will dub u cootie free, i'm sure you're feeling a mite shakey today. hang in there.

I find myself a bit pink from messing around in the yard today, didn't think the sun strong enough in April to give a burn.

Just getting caught up-hope all the sickies are now feeling better!! Strange spring as more people seem to be sick now than over winter.

No no. Silver!

Yep silver is way to go-have had my silver 4 Runner for 15 years now (and I detail it often so it still looks great). Hope you are having fun!
Went to happy hour with some friends yesterday, then saw Deadpool with the hubby. We were going to hear a band after the movie but middle child teen drama got in the way-and cuz we are old now by the time that got sorted we decided we were too tired to go back out - 10:30pm used to be the time we started to go out not ending the night LOL.

Soccer game this am -at same time middle had a band ensemble competition and hubs had a work meeting out of town this am. So gonna miss my oldest this fall when she goes off to college-and having the extra driver!! She is officially a Razorback-University of Arkansas.

Happy weekend to all!

@Monykalyn How did you enjoy deadpool? I'd like to see it again and haven't been able to go.

Parks were fairly crowded today... but I'm used to going during minimal crowds. The hotels still appear to be sold out and express lines sure showed it! We waited at least 15 minutes in all of them until the concert started. HOWEVER- we were in USF and it is a Mardi Gras night so it's really to be expected. I think we waited 30 min for RRR.

Third time was the charm on Transformers! We FINALLY got to ride it all the way through. The friends are having a good time. They were a but scared when we walked into Leaky Cauldron. We're all picky eaters but I said TRUST ME! They're glad they did! Tried the potted butter beer cream. SO DELICIOUS!

Finally tried Sal's! Sooo delicious and very fairly priced. Especially when you split it between three people.

I think everyone who was sick is on the mend? Did I read all of that correctly? If you're still sick I ORDER you to get better There, that should do it. I'm off to read some potter before bed. Should probably just go to bed "early" day tomorrow. Early for me! Goodnight all.

MonyK we enjoyed Deadpool.........have you seen Antman.........not usually my kind of movie but we really enjoyed it........would watch that again.

Officially jealous of Keisha.........sunburn!!!! I have boots, scarf and hat on today, no winter coat though, lighter jacket but................sun may be out but it's freezing!!! Heating is on.



Was up early watching Chinese Grand Prix.........going to watch it again later.......good race!

Pork butt defrosted, got it marinating in all sorts then will bung both pieces into 2 crock pots and let them cook overnight........can't wait to eat some.

Apart from that quietish day, laundry, some tv and dinner.

Hope you're having a good Sunday.........

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. Birds are waking me before the sunrise. Cool morning, but gorgeous 70 degree afternoon.

Nice minions Schumi. Thank you. I will try to send you some of our sun. It has been so nice. Last weekend, snow, this weekend, sunny and no snow. Your meal cooking sounds lovely. Haha, because of our time difference, DS and I are waiting to watch the English soccer game in a few minutes. Hope you enjoyed the race.

Another bee u tiful day

monyk - congrats to ur DD! now you know where to send the tuition checks hehe

caution whines ahead

found out last night DH's already scheduled/approved vacation weeks now will run from Sunday at 12:01 am to Saturday at 11:50 pm, effectively 'cheating' us of a Saturday and Sunday on either end = 6 night trips only for each week of vacation.

All permissable in the new contract. Thankful he's back to work but still...would've been nice to know before I booked our travel this year. Scrambling to re-arrange airfare as to lopping off first day of trip and taking earlier flights home ,naturally prices have tripled since i purchased. At least i do have the option to move things around on SWA.

bonus points, a '21 turn' schedule working minimum 6 days a week = two weekends off per year. He worked this when my kids were young, there were times they didn't see him for a week at a time.

i'm starting to be more on-board for idea of early-retirement.

[schumigirl]

Cute dog Marci...........when is DQ closing?

Janet........early retirement sounds good to me.........told my DH to take early retirement as soon as is humanly possible.........can't wait!!!


Dinner over.........again. Still cold.

Tomorrow will be nicer apparently...........

Hope mac is doing better again today...........she made it this morning so hope her day is a good one.......

DQ is no longer included with any AP's. We checked with several people there today and confirmed that. Our passes expire May 3 and we've already renewed (from Premium Annual Pass but now is called Platinum Plus Pass) but they will no longer be good at DQ. Two of my boys have passes that expire in July/Aug so they can theoretically use until then. We did ask if we could accompany them possibly in that case and one CM said if we asked nicely enough at Guest Services they'd probably make an exception and just let us in (there was basically NO ONE there - most rides we did like the Mighty Duck Pinball or the Buzz Bumper Cars we were the only ones on which makes them far less fun) but of course couldn't guarantee that (both my guys hate DQ anyway so that's probably a moot point). They wouldn't tell us anything on closing dates but I've seen on a couple forums that some day care/school groups are being told they can't book past September. Take that for what it's worth.

 

[Monykalyn]

Sad about DQ but I realize we are probably only ones-we actually really enjoyed.

monyk - congrats to ur DD! now you know where to send the tuition checks hehe

EEK-yeah getting budget together-we can do some but she will likely need a few loans-but not too bad hopefully. OTOH she should have a couple semesters worth of credits transfer from local state college (courses taken in high school that count for college credit at HUGE discount).

We really loved Deadpool-really funny but definitely earned the "R" rating. Loved Ant-man too-actually saw that one in theaters a couple times.

Got the garden beds tilled and planting started (5 large raised beds), patio cleaned up and trip to Lowes to pick up my flowers-my deck is all pretty again. 75 degrees today. Supposed to have some rain off/on next couple days which is perfect for the gardens!
Also hit the farm store to get meal worms for chickens and they have a batch of baby chicks and ducks in-had to wrench the girls away from the ducks-they were so snuggly...DH would have been very unhappy if we would have come home with some ducks...

TinyD-sounds like fun times-Transformer and Spiderman were my son's favorite rides-along with MiB. We went first full week of June last year and the EP were just awesome!!

 

[marciemi]

We were huge DQ fans and regularly went to the one in Chicago back in the late 90's/early 2000's. The kids still always loved going when we went to WDW after the one in Chicago closed. But even that was a decade ago - now it's really just 90's technology that hasn't been updated at all and is falling into disrepair. So we enjoy it for the nostalgia factor but not much else these days.

 

[buckeev]

We were BIG DQ fans too! (Well, my Autistic son especially. But....as goes Gage's demeanor...so goes our trips usually, so it's keep the boy happy 365 'round here!)...I'm sitting on about 11 ancient, unused passes here that may remain unused if we don't make it to DD before they shut it down. Trying to squeeze in a mini-trip in mid-July: figured I'd wait until the humidity was more debilitating than watching anything with Steve Harvey in it.

Car detail guy has postponed on me because it's dementor mating weather outside. He said he'll let me know if he has time this afternoon.... Hm.
...

Thanks for that (very disturbing) image TD!
We've been under threat of Trump-Like Thunderstorms all weekend here, but so far, most of it has stayed slightly west of us. It's likely gonna hit in the morning about 5 minutes before I need to leave to take the two HSrs to school!
