Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

You have the best chicken stories
It is rare that I eat chicken as your chicken pics pop into my head


Beautiful picture of the family
The two girls in the left could pass as twins
Gorgeous girls !

I keep going back to see the elephant pic Lynne posted
Adore those creatures
My dad was an elephant trainer with the Robbins Brothers company and then Ringling Brothers Circus

Memories...

Wishing all a safe and happy time today

Like Lynne has said, Santa comes soon

No matter how you spend it, enjoy the holiday all!

Have two turkey breasts in the oven so there's food to munch on for family that stops by over next few days. Later will 'enjoy' spending this evening with ex-laws @ oldest DS's house. I see two pkgs have appeared under my tree with my name upon them. Look suspiciously like a case of beer (corona please) and a bottle of something. They may get tapped when i get back from that party lol

Lynne......love elephants too!!! The most amazing of creatures on our planet........

Charade.......glad you got home safely.....

squirlz.......you`ll still have a fabulous time I`m sure......say hello to Molly from me....

Chuckers....hope you made it safe.......

Janet........new Doctor doesn't look great for DH.........BBC always trying to be politically correct and fill an agenda.........hope you enjoy it though.....she`s a decent actress, but not Dr Who.

mac................



Christmas Eve

Up early for no real reason........wild and wooly outside so thought I`d get up and make a cuppa.....not going out today and looking forward to that........day of nibbling lovely food, watching tv and a few cocktails.........well, it is Christmas!!!

Bacon and pancakes this morning for DH and I.......DS isn't a fan......he prefers cereal for breakfast even on holidays......lunch is cheese and biscuits with other little snack goodies........we were planning to have take out tonight, but decided we have so much food in the house we won`t.....so DS is having teriyaki chicken with noodles and we will have parma ham and shrimp with olives, spicy peppers and other little goodies again.........no real cooking involved except for DS`s..........

Love Christmas Eve!!!!!

Not a pancake fan either but can't recall ever turning down bacon lol.

Is that actress more of a dramatic type? Had never heard of her.

Lovely evening watching Rivers of Light. We all thought it was meh, but always have to do some things once.

Up, more watching Indy, joining Star Wars, and riding a broken elevator. Then more Christmas fun with treats.

Enjoy this warm Christmas Eve.

Get up. Santa is coming.

We've skipped it thus far, even with a FP. Just didn't want to hang around AK that long. What's it last, like 10 minutes?

Yes, I did. Thank you for asking! I hate typing on my iPad so, I don’t usually check in while on vacation. It’s been rainy here and a little cold.

Saw “The Greatest Showman” last night. I really liked it. Amazing musical numbers. Today we are going to see “Pitch Perfect 3” at 11:45. Then I may got to Christmas Eve mass because my sister is part of the church choir. Which is the only reason I would go to church.

I have a rough time visiting her place. The bed makes my back hurt, her pillows are flat, and the shower has no water pressure. Plus, I get bored. But it makes her happy I am here, so I suck it up.

I think I have 12 days until my vacation!

I hope all who celebrate Christmas have a wonderful holiday!

Hmmph, you think 12 days? Lol we'll give u a pass on the countdown lol.

Years from now you'll look back & be glad you made the effort to see your sister & so shall she.

Have never seen a Pitch Perfect movie. Not sure why, like Rebel well enough. Need to hit up the old ones after holidays on the tube.

@Monykalyn L hope you enjoy the dessert party. I’ve done it 4 times and each time they’ve put out less and less desserts. They were still really good desserts!

Glad you made it safely! The party is more for a spot to see fireworks than the deserts. Since it's just hubby and I decided the splurge was worth it.

Oh gosh @macraven how cool to have an elephant wrangler in the family! Love elephants too-have quite a collection of them (figurines not live ones lol). Thanks for the complements on the girls-i think they are beautiful but I'm the mom LOL. It's funny how having the older one away has made them closer. They now spend at least part of most days on phone. I didn't even realize how much they were talking until recently. Middle kid won't listen to my advice but coming from her sister is different!

Waiting on my turn in the shower...

 

[Lynne G]

Waiting for our rocking ride.

More elephants for Mac. Nice story of your Dad.

 

[Lynne G]

Hey!

Have to recover from that ride.

Chickens, snow, sister visit, coma inducing food, wild and woolie weather, and New Year’s Eve plans, all you homies sound busy and in the holiday spirit.

Hello sun. Time to refresh then ride that broken, yo yo feeling hotel elevator.

No I still won’t do RRR. Do not care I really did not go upside down. Kids.

 

[macraven]

Sounds like Lynne is having a blast on the family vacation

Appreciate all the elephant pictures

I’m with you for that RRR ride
Never in a million years would I step foot in it

Have seen too many times when the ride breaks down for the first climb to the top and fire department has to come rescue the riders

No way Jose
Not for me

Good morning. I’m getting a late start today. I didn’t sleep well last night, and when I finally did manage to doze off the cat kept waking me up. I managed to get everything I needed to get done yesterday except wrap presents (I only have a few) and clean the car. I did manage to ruin a Christmas surprise. I had told dh not to get me anything since we are going to be buying a car. When I came home yesterday I saw a box by our door, so I naturally went to get it. It was an order of Cheryl’s cookies for me. We have a client at work who usually gives me Cheryl’s cookies at Christmas, but didn’t this year. I had mentioned it to dh, so he decided to get me the cookies.

Today is dh’s 55th birthday. Since most restaurants are either closed or closing early, we are going to have a birthday lunch. We will be going to one of our favorite local “special occasion” restaurants. Tonight I have to start working on desserts for Christmas dinner. Tonight I will be making a pumpkin cheesecake (never tried this before) and my chocolate peanut butter pie. Tomorrow I will attempt an apple pie with cinnamon roll crust, and a squash casserole (requested by our hostess).

Keisha - Church Street Station did not seem to be the best of areas to be stuck in. I was very happy to get back to the hotel.

Lynne - Great pictures. DH loves elephants. I don’t do upside down rides either. The older I get the harder it is for me to ride thrill rides.

Chuckers - I do most of my posting from an ipad. I have a keyboard folio for it, but am considering getting a new one. This one has a slow Bluetooth connection that is really frustrating at times. We might be going to see The Greatest Showman today. DH has heard a lot of good reviews. Does your sister live near my mom? I swear my mom lives in the most boring place on earth.

Macraven - How cool that your dad was an elephant trainer. I bet that was an interesting career.

I should probably get up and do something productive today. I guess I’ll start with wrapping presents. Lunch is in an hour and a half and I’m starving.

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you to.

We had no plans to go anywhere today, the snow started a couple hours ago. Then we saw a Facebook post from our butcher that their ground chuck was $1.99 a pounds today only. Fortunately they are only 1/2 mile away.

 

[macraven]

I’d battle the snow for that price !

I cancelled our Christmas
Making sandwiches
Bought a frozen pie

Easy Peasy dinners for tonight and tomorrow

Keeping the holiday low key this year
First stress free here holiday for us

But truly wish all the homies and readers here a very Blessed Christmas!

 

[Monykalyn]

So we have a white Christmas in St. Louis. Snowed all day. FaceTime DD earlier- she just sent this with the caption "not very christmassy". Think she's a bit homesick today...will see her in 6 days and her program ends 5 days later...

Merry Christmas, happy holidays to all!

 

[Lynne G]

Merry Christmas to all! Got to watch Jingle Bell Jingle Bam. Little one was excited. Not. LoL

 

[Lynne G]

Merry Christmas!

Hello Monday, Christmas Day.

Hope everyone was blessed with family and friends and didn’t get coal as a present.

Time to wake the kids soon. A ride to space, a trip around the world, back in time, testing a car, meeting some chipmunks, and listening to the Christmas story with a full choir. Busy, and fun day is our present.

Wake up! It is Christmas!

 

[damo]

Merry Christmas to you all!

 

[Robo56]

MERRY CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS to all the Sans family.

 

[macraven]

A very merry Christmas to all the homies!

Hope all your wishes have come true

 

[agavegirl1]

Merry Christmas all you homies! We've been driving hither ad yon for a couple of days but saw lots of family and had fun despite being the coldest Christmas in 17 years. Low near 20 below with wind chills near 40 below. Dangerous actually. Same predicted for tomorrow. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening and a late Merry Christmas. We had a fun afternoon with friends and then went to a Chinese buffet for supper.
My desserts turned out pretty well and I had no squash casserole left to bring home.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Apple pie with cinnamon roll crust

Chocolate peanut butter pie

Now it’s time to watch Doctor Who.

 

[Squirlz]

My Wife is watching Doctor Whom. I would take one of those pies.

 

[tink1957]

Merry Christmas homies

Hope everyone had a great day with family and friends.

We had a nice lunch then went to see Star wars with some friends...now watching Doctor Who and waiting on the Christmas special. I think I'll reserve judgement until I see the new doctor but it doesn't seem right somehow.

Edited to say I thought I posted this a few hours ago but it was still in the box just now
