Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Ok I'm here
Where's the grub?

 

[schumigirl]

Set a plate for me
Pancakes are always good with bacon

Best breakfast ever!! Come on over...........

I'm not sure when we will get to visit. They are cutting it close so no TM preview has been set yet. If they don't do one, then we'll have to wait quite a while. Our ticket structure - one TM, one guest pass, and three AP's make it really tough to know when we can go to VB. The AP's are all kids too. Their AP's expire in November, so I don't want to pay the $99 to add on VB if it's just for three months. I guess that will give me more time to learn the best strategies though.

I've been the normal busy. I did a Ladies Night Out with the neighborhood ladies to Epcot Thursday night. We focused on food and drinks instead of rides. I liked the lager I got in Japan as well as the Frushi. The key lime wine got rave reviews from many in our group - that's a FL thing. I didn't try it but am hoping to try that next time. I am waiting to activate my pass until after my Easter-break block-out dates though. (Someone in my neighborhood had free passes - perk of living in Disney-ville). Tomorrow there will be half a dozen pre-teen/young teen boys over here playing Dungeons & Dragons. We know how to party it up.

I had asked my friend that works in The Studios if he had heard of TM preview and he said the same, cutting it fine if they are doing one........

Key lime wine sounds very sweet! I do find Floridian wine too sweet for me, but anything that has key lime in it has got to be tried! But as we don't go to Disney means I won't get to try it.



Another beautiful sunny day here........went golfing early this morning, back home for lunch and now wondering what to do rest of afternoon........

And mystery of the vanishing jacket has been solved.......typical, just day after new jacket arrives........found it folded up in the very back of one of my bedroom wardrobes.......folded is odd as I would hang it up usually........I think DH has just grabbed it and put it there's thinking I don't need wear it very often.........cos I don't remember doing that!

But, new jacket is slightly lighter in colour, so will keep it anyway..........but, so glad I know what happened to it, was driving me nuts!

Hope everyone's having a lovely Sunday........

 

[macraven]

A girl can never have enough jackets

Good idea to keep it

 

[schumigirl]

Jackets and boots........

DH asked me with a smile was I returning new one.........lol.......think he already new that answer!

Morning everyone . On my first cup of coffee .




My younger sister called me yesterday and told me I was going to be an aunt again. She is going to be 50 in September. I was so excited for her (ok a little shocked to) a baby at 50. She asked me if I knew what day it was and I said no and she said "April FOOLS DAY". Ok she got me good. She got a good chuckle out of it.

Have known a few folks that had babies late in life and they were thrilled.

All this talk of food is making me hungry.

Lynne have seen some good prices for cars in October with Cheaptickets and Expedia. Can't remember If those two are owed by same company or not. They are within few coins of being the same price although the car with Expedia is bigger.

Have to cull the banana trees today and collect palm leaves. Yard waste collection tomorrow.

Have a great and blessed Sunday everyone.

Bacon, eggs, and home fries, that have peppers, onions and cheese in them. And toast. Come on over Mac.
Older one, stop eating so much, leave some for me. Little one, bacon? Yes. And what else? More bacon. Leave some for me. Kids. Had to remind her she need carbs today. Off to zap a potato. Baked potato for her.
Ah, Sunday mornings. Late start and full breakfast.

It is a good morning. The first rain maker is gone, and very bright and beautiful blue sky and sun. Yay! Sunglasses needed. That next rain maker to arrive tomorrow night, and make a rainy Tuesday is off the radar. Enjoy joining a cool, but nice Spring day.


That is funny Schumi. Yeah, I have misplaced things. Had lost a hat, couldn't find it. Bought another one, then finally remembered where it was, but did not remember putting it there. Yes, many, in colors. (Hehe, my auto correct stopped me from putting a u in it).

So far, best price for rental in October has been a price I got on Alamo's website. I keep checking. Thanks for the info Robo. Still trying to lower the August one, with no better price so far either.

Yes, so looking for Florida key lime pie. I like it. Like the custard more than the pie crust. Yum.

Good Sunday morning.

Happy Sunday!
Full day yesterday-son's soccer game (1st one of season) yesterday at 8:30-cool start so was bundled up with hot coffee in hand. Nice thing about having to get up early on weekend is we got lots accomplished-garden beds weeded (all five raised beds) and topped off with dirt/compost, house cleaned, sheets changed (well-on 2 of the 4 beds), grocery shopping (mostly snacks for DS sleepover last night-just wanted a couple friends over for his birthday-which is tomorrow, my baby will be 11!), dinner cooked (nachos/tacos-make your own with toppings) and also prepped stuff for breakfast casserole. Did all that before I sat down in the afternoon, figured if I took a minute to catch breath wasn't going to get back up! So then had time ~5 to have a cocktail (those of us who could drink anyway) with our lovely neighbors. DH was setting up our large bounce house for DS and friends and neighbors have the most adorable 2 1/2 year boy. Finally coaxed him into the jump house-he loved it. Because of weird winter haven't seen much of them and didn't realize she is pregnant again and due in July!
Threw breakfast casserole into slow cooker to cook overnight.

So we had breakfast casserole and pancakes this am for breakfast. Made enough pancakes that the kids can reheat for breakfast all week long.

Was planning on taking today easy, but with rain pattern may have to plant today instead of tomorrow...

Hubs is watching Resident Evil for the umpteenth time-yes in the morning...

I hope you homies left some breakfast food for me


Yea talking to you Lynne and MonyK.......

 

[macraven]

[Lynne G]

Not yet do not think.

Got to game plCe early. Traffic lighter than I thought. Getting to be.a nice day.

You are always welcome Mac.

 

[Monykalyn]

Lots left Mac!

 

[schumigirl]

Btw, did April deliver yet?

She's showing signs of something........can't be long now......

Sounds like a busy day Monyk!!! And hope your DS has a wonderful birthday tomorrow.......cocktails are always nice. Never had breakfast casserole.........



Ended up round at a friend's house this afternoon..........she called to ask us round as we were trying to decide what to do today.........we all sat outside as it was so nice.......now, sun is still shining but it's chilly. So sitting in garden room now enjoying last of the sunshine before it disappears behind the trees.

Monday again tomorrow.......DH back at work and I plan to finish painting downstairs bathroom.......not very exciting.......

Enjoy rest of your Sunday...........

Jackets and boots........

As if, men can be so silly lol

Not a pancake fan, when asked by spawn will whip out my irons (yes, have 2 one Mickey Mouse, the other like u see in hotel's continental breakfast & do a waffle buffet. Not my thing but anything tastes better w/strawberries & whipped cream

Youngest DS & a bud coming over for steaks on grill, rain has finally stopped but ground feels like a sponge.

 

[macraven]

Screw the pancakes
I'll take the steak...

 

[Monykalyn]

Japanese steakhouse tonight for the boy's birthday- grandma came into town and wanted to take him out. He got scallops (hibachi) which he loves but he is pretty tired from his sleepover and I thought he might fall asleep at table a couple times. We are all stuffed!

@keishashadow im not a pancake fan either, like waffles ok. But it's an easy way to feed hungry kids lol!

Garden planted- all five beds, sprinklers in, trellis done, and fence raised around the beds so the chickens don't help themselves. So we will see what comes up...

If it wasn't for Walking Dead finale tonight I think I'd already be asleep...

Alright, this forum is starting to bug me...not the people or the posts...I mean the actually forum.

I know I saw someone else mentioning issues with it not keeping the text and having to start posts over. While I do not have that, exactly, I seem to have to hit 'post reply' multiple times to leave a comment. Also, having trouble with it placing a quote when I reply directly to a post...have to click that a couple of times to get it to work. And, finally, a lot of times, this thing cannot keep up with my typing...and I am no speedy typist...and sometimes the lag is so bad, I will wait and finally start typing where I thought it left off and then it catches up and I have to keep backtracking. So...frustrating.

Well, back to work in the morning, so good night all.

Edit: That figures...took it the first time I clicked, which is the first time in several days.

 

[pcstang]

I'm posting on my phone most of the time which is the reason for the terse posts. Nevertheless, the site has sucked lately!

[schumigirl]

Steak always wins over pancakes!!!

Love those Japanese Steakhouses........haven't been to Kobe for a couple of years but will go back.......always enjoyed the food there! to little MonyK...........



Monday again.......need to start painting, but I'm getting an A+ in procastination right now. Just waved both off to work 15 minutes apart with the words.......yep, will be painting in 10 minutes........still sitting here.

Haven't had breakfast yet either, couple of poached eggs I think.........and time for coffee............

Have a great Monday...........

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, Happy Birthday to little MonyK. Sounds like he had a great birthday dinner, and a fun overnight.

Well, the rain that is soaking the Southern states, is aiming at us soon. But this Monday morning, the sun was rising from the horizon, and made the clouds a beautiful dark purple pink color.

Yeah, the DIS was not friendly to me either. I'd had to rewrite several times, only to not post. And sometimes, while I am not the fastest at typing, the response is so slow, I wait to see what I typed. I almost found it funny, though, as my typing caught up to me without me typing. Frustrating to say the least. And when I use my phone, I can't type very well, either.

Yeah, pancakes are okay, I'm more of a fan of waffles too. My kids rather have waffles also. Though, pancakes are faster to make. And sometimes we have steak and eggs. Older one and I eat both, little one, only the steak.

No good breakfast for me today. But tea needs to be steeped soon. I'm ready to be a little warmer. It's cool inside, and maybe I'll put a sweater on.

Was a lovely day yesterday. The first game of little one's soccer season. While the Friday and Saturday soaking stopped on Saturday afternoon, the ground was still pretty muddy on Sunday. Little one's cleats had to be cleaned of a large amount of mud, and I made her take them off before getting in the car. Spring soccer. Ready for some even nicer weather for games. Road trips for the next couple of months, before a short break in summer.

Was making a road stop list to give little one, as we leave for the long drive to our hotel for her Sweet 16 trip. I'm looking forward to it as much as she is. Have never been in the keys before, and haven't been in Miami since I was young. I bet the Miami beach area is so different when I was there. There were very few hotels near the beach. Now, crazy how many, and so expensive. Got the hotel down a bit, the rental and airfare has not been anywhere close to when I made the reservations. I keep hoping for cheaper, but it's still prime summer travel, so at least I am happy enough with the most I'll pay for both.

Oh, come on Schumi, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, so 8 am is fine for wine. LOL.


Enjoy your Monday, all. It's April, and Easter's getting closer.
