Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

So Charley's was a success Janet?

I know my 7/8 year ago wasn't much use to you.......but glad it was good.......always on our "will go back one day" list.

Was there much of a citrus flavour after all? Although my lovely DH now says he can't remember steak being slightly citrus in flavour!!! So maybe it wasn't after all.......lol......enjoy rest of your trip......


Think the winds have made their way over here........Wild and skies are grey.......rain is coming soon.

Home made meatballs, spicy sauce and pasta tonight.......DS asked for broccoli tonight with dinner, so bit odd, but having it on the side.

Couple of hours to wait though........only 4pm right now.

Wouldn't call it a citrus flavor but there was a unique flavor to the steak, subtle, was told it was from the citrus wood they use. Highly seasoned/aged meat, with that interesting twist. Yum

Hmm never visited Dolly's place, wondering what Dixie stampede soup is

Parks pretty dead again today, hoping U is slow too. Ha, well, maybe at least on Friday. Forgot to buy GD her 'goodie'. don't feel like heading back to Disney tomorrow, hoping prime outlet has something or I'll be digging @ Universal lol.

Was so nice at Aquatica today, hated to leave. Practically had the place to ourselves. Water was very warm, especially in the 'raging' lazy river...ahhh

Glad you enjoyed Charley's........and so nice to hear it's it's warmed up and parks are quiet! Excellent.......


Just waiting for DS to leave for work in 5 minutes then poached eggs for breakfast.........laundry and ironing this morning......another grey and blustery day so far..........

Morning Schumi - beautiful here this morning - clear blue sky though chilly not frosty. No school run this morning as son in law going to help today. We are off to the Solicitor this morning as hubs has to swear on oath for completion of his father's probate (which we have done ourselves - no solicitor very proud!).
Then I'm off to the hairdressers and up to see DD this afternoon.
Hubs said he'd do supper - so that will be pizza!

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, the mom alarm clock apparently went back to sleep. Good thing, DS had to hurry, but I think he will be there just in time. Have reminded him I will not be waking him up forever. Plus, it is my day to chill. It is Friday. Let me say that again, it is Friday.

[Lynne G]

I need coffee. Just sayin'. 25 with wind chill 18. And wind chill in the 20's all day. Hoolie here and enjoying below freezing. Yeah, coffee today. Later all.

 

[schumigirl]

Anyone at Universal now........has the so called secret entrance to Studios by RRR closed now? Asked a few weeks ago on here as a friend had mentioned it.

Also nice to know Universal are now doing free parking after 6pm in the main garage......excluding HHN of course.......



Had some Shrimp Pad Thai salad for lunch........it was rather nice.....and extra spicy.......beautiful sunny but cold day here.......nice to see blue sky instead of grey..........

Going grocery shopping later today.........will be fun as some vegetables are running low on stock due to the extremely bad winter in Spain where a lot of our fresh veg comes from in winter. Broccoli, iceberg lettuce and courgettes (zucchini) are being rationed.........lol........

Need to make a hair appointment too........I'm a week overdue for colour and cut.......

 

[schumigirl]

Anyone in IOA today at 3pm?

Impractical Jokers filming a punishment.........

[pcstang]

Happy belated anniversary Lynne!
@macraven any new info on the AP including VB?

 

[Lynne G]

Ahh, the beautiful sunny day, and 28 degrees. Hello Saturday.

Aw man, all those great pictures from USO. Makes me want to plan a long weekend this time next year. Oh the pocketbook. LoL.

Hope all are enjoying the weekend. I will be warming up the car for the later night game. At least we can sleep in tomorrow. That and a run for coffee before the game.

 

[Lynne G]

Thanks! PC. Having dinner without the kids was cheaper.

Yo! It is Super Bowl Sunday. Let the chow down begin.




And since we still have a wind chill in the20's,

 

[schumigirl]

Quiet day today.........we all slept late then had lazy time listening to music most of the day.........DH and I loved it, DS complained all we listen to is 80's music! Nice having them both here today......love the weekends! Had Rib of beef for dinner tonight......gorgeous.

Beautiful weather though, till late afternoon.........got a bit cloudy...........

Hot chocolate and early night soon........

Have a great week........

 

[Kivara]

Morning all! Been busy getting everything ready for the Super Bowl for the past week, now I'm officially in the "I-picked-the-losing-side-blues." Ah well, it was a nail-biter there at the end!
Except for an auto repair scheduled for tomorrow, I've got a nice, boring week ahead.

Hope everyone stays warm, and to the homies in Orlando, have fun & get home safe!

 

[Lynne G]

yeah it's Monday.

Hello homies. Hope all are enjoying this first Monday of February. Love is in the air month. That, and a federal holiday, making a short week in this month.

Kivara. Yeah, losing stinks, but at least was a good game. Not really a fan of either, but apparently, a neighbor is a Pat fan, and hollered YES a few times, and then honked and fired up his noisy car. I think everyone else then turned off their television. Oh, and Dh put his truck in for inspection, yep, a lot more that I thought, and 2 days to fix. Hope your car repair was less, and get it back soon than ours.

 

[Kivara]

Oh, Lynne, I hate when inspections turn up surprise (ie- long & expensive) issues! Mine's just a factory covered recall issue, 2 hrs & they foot the bill. (Although it's kinda scary they are willing to do a part recall on a 10 yr old car with over 100k miles )

We are a Steelers house all the way , it was more of a "root for anyone excepT the Patriots" thing (or as my 13 y.o. calls them, the Deflate-riots ))

Keisha - Sounds like you're having a great vacation!

Schumi - I was at Universal yesterday but didn't check the secret entrance. I always forget what time it opens and we usually go into the parks before the secret entrance opens. I did notice one recent change yesterday - Mummy doesn't stop hard anymore. My elbow has lost skin on it thanks to the final stop on Mummy. Yesterday, it was a slow stop both times we did it.

Lynne - I hope it warms up for you.

Oh I like the sound of The Mummy not bashing to a halt anymore. Yep, my friend forgot to look 2 days ago when they were there to see if the turnstile was still operating.......I'm sure someone will know.......




It's freezing here........we are waiting on a wall of weather called.........The Beast from the East hitting us on Wednesday......apparently.........a supposed blast of cold air hitting us straight from Siberia.........just used to be called winter. Now they have to give everything a fancy name.........not looking forward to -15 though.

Just been out for monthly leg waxing appointment and it is cold.

Out for hair appointment tomorrow morning.......highlights and cut.......long overdue, should have been done last week......always love a morning in the salon as they do manicures too. I don't normally have my nails done, but I do like a good hand cream and clear varnish now and again.

Enjoy rest of your Monday

 

[Lynne G]

Hope Schumi's hair looks fabulous.

It's Tuesday, and we have a oddly warmer day, as the rain is coming from the South and will be in the 60's. But, mother nature won't let that warm air stay, a cold front comes in tonight, temp goes down to low 30's, and snow tomorrow. Oh joy. I am rockin' short sleeves today, and that's a okay for a February day.

Have a good one all.

Hello homies!!

Nice to be back here and catch up with what you all have been doing

Belated grats to Lynne for her anniversary

Got home last night around 10 pm
Stopped for a late dinner as had not eaten since noon

Would have been home sooner but got stuck on 75

5 car and a semi truck accident at 3:30 yesterday
With the oil and gas spill, took a long time to clean that up after the peeps and vehicles were removed

Of course I was just going on 75 ramp when the highway shut down
Directed off at Marietta and that took forever on 41 route

Would have been home within one hour but the highway shut down changed that


I do prefer flying
Only one hour flight from Atlanta
Driving is not my thing...

I guess Marci did not read my pm as I was at MGM that Wednesday
There is always a next time

Janet can't say Saturday night had a crowd for the concert
Don't think it was that big of a draw that night

Did stand across from T2 area and got loads of beads
Almost 20 of them which I thought was a lot
Only expected to snag a few when the floats started

Weather was lovely once Wednesday hit
Weather at home today is rainy and cold for me

Did DAH one night and enjoyed it

Moved to UO for the end of our stay at rpr
Added a night before I got there as can never have too much time there

Will be back at the darkside in October

Hope pcstang is ok as tornados might have hit in his area


Hope all the homies are doing fine!

 

[buckeev]

Welcome Back Red Leader!...(Well...One of our Red Leaders...).
Sounds like you had a blast! We cleaned up on beads when we went a couple of year back...Gage is a "Bead Magnet"

Finally got rid of all of this Super Bowl traffic here in H-Town...What a NIGHTMARE!!! Speakin' of Super Bowl taxes-n-such.....Where do I file for my share of the profits we supposedly made here?

I still haven't told the Mrs that she and her friend are going to USO on the 25th. Trying to figure out the "Big Reveal"...V-Day or B-Day...(14th and 18th).
I know she'll need a few days to pack, so I can't wait past one of those....
