Good Monday Morning........

Beautiful day here and even though it`s freezing.....it`s so pretty outside. Not that I`m going outside.......it`s just pretty.........

Weather did look nasty in Orlando........my friend posted a picture on Instagram.....not nice.

Have a great Monday.....

Good morning all. Well, good afternoon Schumi and the across the pond homies.

The Nor'easter is upon us, and the winds picked up around 4am this morning. Wind is howling or blowing a major hoolie as Schumi would say. Bad hair day alert!

Kohlby, glad to hear family made it through the storm okay. The reports of tornado hits in FLA and in the south are scary. I was worried about you, Robo, Tink, Mac, PC, TinyD, all the homies in the panhandle area. Mac, I hope you got your reception back. They're predicting wires down with the wind we're having. Things already flying into the road. It's trash day, so lots of cans overturned already. At least our temperature is around 40, so 2 or so inches of rain and not the snow that will blanket north of us. Soggy is today's word.

And yes it's Monday. Another gray day. They're saying no seeing the sun until at least Wednesday. Oh my, no wonder they say winter blues. And for a hehe, I overheard a kid ask him mom when winter would be over. Not soon enough. I think all of us are ready for nicer weather once the new year starts.

So, my daily hunt for tea. It's going to be hot tea.

Morning homies!

Weather still icky here
Just like Lynne has, rain, wind, cold

Lynne southern Georgia had the 8 deaths from the storm
Think and I did not have that severe weather hit us

We got rain and lots of it
Kohlby I bet you will beat all of us in this weather game!

Loved schumis minionions.....

Mac, glad you and Tink are okay, and not have had the severe weather hit. Sorry to hear of the deaths from the storm. Meant GA, but still thinking about FLA, I guess. Some mighty strong cells in this storm that tracking north now.

There is this constant wailing noise heard through the windows. Heaviest rain to come on the way home. Hoping there is no big water to drive through.

Ate breakfast earlier, so already on the hunt for lunch. Packed, so nothing exciting. I swear the wind feels like it's coming through the window. Time for more tea.

We spent some time huddled in a closet last night with Tornado Warnings (a couple different times) but other than losing a lot of leaves, all was good here. Glad to hear Mac was okay - first person I thought of when I kept hearing Georgia. I find it a bit annoying that my Weather Channel app alerts me immediately when there's an earthquake in Italy or flooding in LA but doesn't tell me when my own county is under a Tornado warning. (That popped up on the football game).

Mac - let me know if you want to meet up at all. We're heading out on a Disney cruise (Friday-Monday) but will be around after that.

Glad everyone is safe. It's been a crappy January weather wise. It took me two days to finally fly out to Vegas. Sat on the tarmac for three hours Saturday at my local airport. Hartsfield was shutdown and we couldn't take off. Got out Sunday but had major delays in ATL....again. I'm exhausted! Lol
Wife and kids got to spend quality time yesterday in the pantry wit her the tornado sirens going off. Fourth time this month! My parents had the tornado warnings in Orlando too. Good luck up north @Lynne G and & @keishashadow!

 

[Monykalyn]

Wow wild weather! Glad peeps are safe and sound!
Nice day here. Home with sick kid today-nothing serious-mild tummy bug

oldest DD just completed app for Fall DCP! Now trying to get her to not obsess over acceptance LOL

Good to hear everyone got through the nasty weather o.k.

I survived the storms this weekend with only a trashcan blown over and a lightening strike across the road that awakened all of us at 3 a.m.

My dish only went out once when the Packers scored their first touchdown...I didn't want to see that anyways

Good news is my team is finally going to the Super Bowl

 

[Lynne G]

ooh MonyK, hope oldest gets accepted. Already trying to figure out what the kids will working at this summer. Think older one may take one summer course to get a leg up on the next year.

So glad all made it through the storm and PC got home, even if tired and late.

The wind is giving me a headache, but have to go out soon. Hope older one picked up little one from school. She'll be on the war path if he didn't. Time to light the oven for dinner. Might ask the kids to start it. It's been a tiring day so far. Yep, it's the Monday blues.

 

[Monykalyn]

She made it to phone interview-will probably schedule for wednesday. Trying not to jinx it but I am sooooo excited for her!!

 

[tink1957]

Good luck to your DD MonyK...hope she aces the interview.

I don't blame you for being so excited, I would be over the moon.

Good luck for your daughter hope she will be accepted!

Weekend a blur, family member wound up in ER, then hospitalized. Things still not quite settled, hopeful all will be well. Any extra pixie dust appreciated. My family has been on a quite the roll health-wise this past year, that sort of thing always seems to run in cycles for some strange reason

Happy Sunday everyone . It's 85 and the sun is shinning .

Tink we are not getting rain, but it is blowing a hoolie as Schumi would say. Wind gusting up to 25 miles per hour. Making the palms trees sing for sure.

Went to Sebastian for a Art show this morning. Hubby found a painting he liked.

Having a birthday party this evening for my neighbor from Canada. Made her a Reese's peanut butter cake for her birthday. She loves chocolate so hope she likes it. I got the recipe from my cousin and tweaked it a bit. Omitted the cream cheese in the frosting and made the cake mix simpler. I have ribs in the crock pot and twice baked potatoes and corn ready for the oven.

Didn't take into consideration when i booked my days up at Universal that the Harry Potter weekend was this coming weekend. Duh! it is clearly seen on the website...LOL...just had tunnel vision for my getaway. I'am looking forward to seeing how busy the park is during this time of year. Might be skewed if the Potter fans arrive early. I saw that they have a nice line up of the stars for the weekend. The actors that played Draco and Lucius Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Filius Flitwick/Griphook. Should be nice.

The weather in Orlando is going to be nice for the next few days. Supposed to cool down in the 60's by Friday. We will see.

Have a great rest of the day everyone. Hope your Sunday is restful and nice.

I've gotten to point where I rotate the artwork, it's a bit of a weakness with me lol. I try to stay out of the Disney art stores

Patriots versus Falcons.

Don't get me started, still smartin from that beat down by deflate-gate boy

Eek. It was on accuweather as to warnings in the am when I did my daily check, did a double take

Sneaking off on a another cruise eh? Hope u have better weather than we did. Still feel green. If u & Mac get something going, share. The cold weather forecast has me in my MDE account switching parks/times as not much pool time will be in order.

 

[Lynne G]

Pixie and mummy dust for Keisha's hospitalized family member. Hope all will be well and home soon.

Well, it was a fun drive home. Branches and trash flying around in the street, as well as lots of water. Hydroplane anyone? Winds are lessening, but boy was it noisy til way past dusk.

Now just chilling. And don't feel too bad on the football front. Our birds haven't been to the dance, let alone the play offs, for some time.

What ship were you on? Are you down here now or coming down soon? Shoot me an email and let me know your vague plans so hopefully I can at least come by and say hi at some point once we're back!
