Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

Guess what day it is. Yup. Wednesday, and Keisha needs her camel reminder.

Lololol I used to have that hair do!

Mac - had fat cats break my Xmas tree branches from laying in them. Would walk past and have a paw come out & swat at me so funny. Our tree (and I'm using singular tense as I've been far too lazy to put up the other 2 the last few years) goes up day after thanksgiving. Ordered a new 7.5 foot prelit one on clearance @ JCP, Jonathan Adler ? Whomever that is, never heard of him or a 'designer' tree. Anyway, it was marked down from $399 (amused they never rounded up the price) a gazillion times. After coupons & my rewards, less than the price of a takeout bucket meal @ KFC woohoo and it was deposited on my front porch today.

Doesn't take much to float me boat.

According to tonight's news we are going to have a record high Friday (68F) followed by snow Saturday. Pure Michigan.

 

[Lynne G]

Not that four letter word Squirlz.

We get spring and winter this weekend. Almost 70 on Saturday and 35 Sunday, wind chill 20. No snow so far though.

Chilling after what I thought was a no rain day. Closer I got to home, harder the rain. Now bundled up, house feels cold. And my darn can opener decided to quit opening cans. Too lazy to get a new one tonight, but must purchase tomorrow.

Hope you are feeling better Keisha. I have seen screw top wines before. What the heck, I would open it. Bought mango momma wine at Epcot, so going to bring it to dinner. I hope it is sweet, but not too sweet.

Have a good night all.

My sister, in Denver, was 10 degrees warmer than us in the Deep South. She is getting the four letter word tomorrow and might break into the 40's.

It is wine down Wednesday so that sounds like a plan!

74 here today and tomorrow will be warmer


Then the bottom will fall out and summer will be gone

Maybe I'll put a bow on the bottle and give it to my SIL for Xmas

I usually put up my Christmas tree on the 1st Dec, what ever day that may fall on.

I can't wait to see how the cats react! This will be their 1st ever Christmas! Awwww. I'm sure Theo will be up the tree at some point... not sure about Marcy but u never know. They were both being crazy last night running around and chasing each other. It was funny when they were kittens but now they are pretty much fully grown they don't quite have the room to get up to full speed! Lol

I've got hard floors so they usually slide into the doors when they stop. Hahaha

 

[Lynne G]

That's actually fun to watch, BagO, when pets go full speed across the floor. When it's a large dog that does it, I laughed, but my sofa was the spring board to go the other way and poor sofa took a beating. Didn't help that my DD, when she was young, ran with the dog and did the same thing to the sofa. It was okay though, they were having fun too. Made a noisy house. Bet you're having fun with the young cats.

Well, might have been wine Tuesday, and wine for Keisha's SIL, and a beer for PC, but it's Thursday today, and thirst is the word of the day.

So Mac and Tink, Keisha, raise your cup of coffee, Schumi and I will be sipping tea (well, Schumi might be enjoying a wine or mixed drink with lunch), and Kolby and gang are probably enjoying some butterbeer. BagO, are you a coffee or tea drinker?

Quench your thirst all you homies, and give Thursday a salute. Friday is indeed, in sight, and for us, potter movie time. Have to see those magical beasts.

Good morning

Just sitting here having my first cup of the day and debating whether or not I will answer the phone call from work wanting me to come in today...probably not I'm going to enjoy my time off, I never call out so I don't feel bad about it.

We received our first shipment of live Xmas trees in the garden center this week, I think we will wait until December to get one...love the smell though.

Hope everyone has a terrific Thursday

Caller ID among the best inventions - ever! Are u on duty Black Friday? Hopefully, they won't open Thursday.

Lynne - it's date night Friday to see that flick too.

Only a .25 mile visibility this am when I took DH to work (his truck getting oil change), rather creepy drive.

 

[tink1957]

Yes keisha, I always have to work on Black Friday...it's the one day we aren't allowed to ask off. We are always closed on Thanksgiving and we even get paid for it.

 

[BagOLaughs]

BagO, are you a coffee or tea drinker?

I'm a wierd tea drinker... I like all the non-black tea flavours. My favourite is green tea with jasmine. Yum! 2nd fave is mint. I only drink coffee when I really really need a boost Haha. So I'll raise a cup of tea too!

Keisha have fun at the movies and u too Lynne! I read a review for the movie but I won't say anything.

 

[schumigirl]

Back from London last night........whooped but loved our visit! Janet, did get a couple of pics for you......took them on my phone though so quality may not be great.......London Eye, Westminster and Big Ben and rather boringly for some......Sherlock Holmes house in Baker Street......oh and one outside the real Kings Cross.......will send them once Kyle's uploaded them for me........

Spent this morning getting stuff for weekend I was planning to do yesterday........we all bringing a load of goodies and stuff for weekend......

So, lunch then head off when DH gets home.........snow is around where we are going I think.......and it's bliddy cold here..........

Not sure I'm taking iPad as not sure there's any internet......it really is in the middle of nowhere!

Catch youse all soon...........

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels Schumi. So nice to hear you had a lovely time. Yep, I'd like to see the pictures. Enjoyed my visits to London, twice, years ago.

It's Friday y'all, and you know what that means....

Enjoy the movie Keisha. We'll be seeing it later this afternoon. Need an early night for us, as she with foul mouth needs a 5:30am wake up tomorrow. And she's already mad that the others are staying in a hotel near the tournament site tonight, instead of the early morning drive. (2 hours drive from us). Teens.

 

[macraven]

left this morning to have some lab work done.
sat over an hour before i was called to the desk.

driving back home had to put the ac on, it was 79
totally unexpected.

but the bottom falls out tomorrow and the hot days will be gone till next spring.


i need to read back and play ketchup on what i have missed reading.

 

[Lynne G]

Awesome movie. Much enjoyed it and the acting was very good. Liked the creatures, they were a fun addition.

Just chilling with a late dinner.


Hope the lab work shows good results Mac.

 

[tink1957]

Lynne, glad to hear you enjoyed the movie. Did you watch it in 3 D? DD and I are debating whether to see it in regular mode or 3 D. What would you recommend?

We did not see it in 3D, and I know Keisha was going to see it last night too, so maybe she will answer you too. I thought it was great without 3D. I saw Jurasiac Park in 3D, and we all thought it was not worth it. So, for us, the fun was fine without 3D. So, my recommendation is to see it regular. I hope you enjoy it as much as the kids and I did.

 

[keishashadow]

Rain/mix into snow just starting. I'll be cleaning, need to arm-wrestle the mr to see who gets stuck grilling the steaks later. Real feel in teens tomorrow morning vs upper 70's here yesterday.



Mac - kiss that weather goodbye! Maybe you guys will get some rain now. Curious exactly how cold did it get in your neck of woods your 1st winter there?

Yes keisha, I always have to work on Black Friday...it's the one day we aren't allowed to ask off. We are always closed on Thanksgiving and we even get paid for it.

Getting paid better than having a frozen turkey tossed at you lol. Hope the horde is kind and appreciates the hours you put in to serve our rampant consumerism. I refuse to buy a thing (other than online) on Thanksgiving to support that foolishness, hate that the stores are open.

Not sure non HP fans would enjoy as a standalone flick. Overall I loved the movie, truthfully, the 2nd half saved it for me. Loved the big cameo in the flick!!! WishI had it on DVR as there was more than a bit of foreshadowing of events, not sure I caught them all. Might sneak off to see it again lol. I had avoided all reviews as I didn't want to be influenced, nice to see them stay true to the franchise but not surprised as the author keeps a tight reign on her legacy.

It's been on bucket list so long and will probably stay there, will have to get my fix from your pix lol

Can't wait to hear how the weekend bash goes

Haha not sure which I like more the cute poochie or the DD's. Nickname!

Re movie seats - all the options in different theaters are mind-boggling lol. I go basic

I need to sit as far back as I can in theater due to vision issues, it's the last row for us. IMAX tends to give me headaches for some reason. DH hates to plop in a pair of contacts, out of practice since he's not allowed to wear them @ work due to chemicals, etc. He doesn't like the feel of the 3D glasses over his. When I go without him, do the 3D.

My DIL took GD and some friends to same viewing but they did purchase Cinemark's DBox seats to have them reserved as she would barely make the viewing by the time she got home from work. Two of the seats stopped working mid movie, kids weren't happy; they did get passes to return for movie of choice.
