Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Lovely evening.

 

[macraven]

Waaa.... Waaa....

I want to be there too!!

 

[Monykalyn]

Brr cold here too!
And I remember Bo as well...
Chickens all tucked in with extra straw in coop and run. Attempted to pile it against walls to help block more wind (run is wrapped in heavy plastic) but the lil monsters gleefully jumped into piles and started scratching away.. it's why I don't need to rake or spread stuff in garden beds. Those lil monsters are far more efficient at scattering a pile...

DD had an adventure yesterday. Kitten got stuck up in her car by headlight- thought it had gotten scared away when they attempted to get it out before work, she didn't hear it crying anymore. Got to work and heard it again. Clocked in and told leaders, called security and they were finally able to get it out- unharmed just scared!. Apparently she and her friend (who was getting off 2hours after DD started) took turns holding the thing in her car until off shift friend could take it. Leaders said it was ok. But she took the thing home last night (no pets in housing!) because they didn't know what else to do! Got a text @5:30 this am with a pic of kitty playing and caption "someone got up early". Arrangements made and kitty going with coworker. But DD face timed me today holding the baby (and sneezing) -no we are NOT coming home with a kitten lol!

Ugh I need to pack! But the fire is so delightful...

Stay warm peeps!

That is so scary MonyK. This time of year I make noise when I go to my car early in the morning. Have found neighbor cat sleeping in my engine before. So scared I would find a fried cat. Thankfully, has not happened. Though have been scared when it popped out from under the car.

We all decided to get out of the parks and go for a swim.

Good food eaten at Finnegins.

Good evening everyone. Nothing much going on here. I’m off tomorrow, so I may do a little shopping. I got a nice cash gift from the therapists I work for.

Kohlby - This is our third Civic. We bought the first when dh’s Accord was totaled. The second was given to us by my mother-in-law when she became unable to drive due to declining health. We have become very Honda loyal.

Lynne - Your pictures are making me want to go back to Orlando. I think our next trip is planned for the year after WDW opens the Star Wars section.

Chuckers - Sorry about the mug. I hope whoever took it has a change of heart and returns it.

Schumi - Negative 3? Yikes! I guess I can’t really complain about our temps.

Keisha - I am very greatful I noticed the ring. I can’t remember if I mentioned it or not, but the diamond in my ring came from dh’s grandmother’s engagement ring. I would feel horrible if I ever lost it. I have looked at ebay for ornaments, but usually the ones I want are higher than the original price. Our local Hallmark used to have them at 50% off the day after Christmas, but this year it was only 40%.

Monykalyn - So glad to hear the kitty is okay. I need to remember to tap on the car before going anywhere. We have some free roaming cats in our neighborhood.

Good night everyone.

 

[Monykalyn]

@Chuckers - hope that mug is returned! If you want- I can look for a grumpy mug when I go-I don't remember if you said you were doing the Mouse on your trip? I know it won't be the same sentimental value mug but I did see a cute grumpy mug in November...

Decided to pedicure toes before packing...think I'm mostly packed now. Trying to not take bigger suitcase as it's gotta fit into DD's car for drive home...

Thank you Monykalyn, I will be doing a day at Disney World on this trip. I already have 5 or 6 different Grumpy Mugs. This one was just from Paris Guess I'll just have to go back!

It’s not so much cats where we are as foxes........we used to have a really tame fox that would come around......I know, I know......considered vermin, but this one was so cute......even the farmer next to us was quite entranced with her.......always wary of wild animals though. Even cats. Hope you don’t inherit a kitten MonyK.........

Charade,mi should say that’s -3 in Celsius........still blooming cold......went down to -5 last night.......cold in any temperatures!



Driveway looks white but no snow this morning so far, hope it stays that way as DS is leaving for work in around 30 minutes.......his car is in the garage so he won’t have to defrost it before setting off......

Little bit of shopping today......not much planned. Just checked my phone and I’ve got a text from 2 friends calling me boring because we’re not going to another friends New Years Eve party.........lol........might be dull, but we kinda like to be home for that.......just us.......we go out for dinner then nice quiet evening. Sounds good to me......

Have a great Friday.........

 

[Chuckers]

Happy Friday!!! WEEKEND TIME!!! 3 DAYS OFF!!

@schumigirl I would LOVE to have a pet fox! They're such beautiful animals! Even a wild one that I could feed would work.

@Monykalyn I really enjoy kittens.. I've had 4 cats and missed the kitten stage of the last two. It makes me want to go and get another (which would make 5 cats in the house right now - My 2, the roommates' 2 monsters, and a kitten), but thinking of the REALLY sharp kitten claws shredding my legs again reminds why I WON'T run out and pick one up.

9!

• In American Baseball, there are 9 players on the field, 9 innings in a game, and 9 is the designation of the player in the right field (with 1 being the pitcher)
• Any number who's digits can be added together, and the result's digits, until a single digit is left will be divisible by 9 if that single digit is 9:
  • 482729235601 × 9 = 4344563120409 (4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 9 = 45; 4 + 5 = 9)
• Prices that end in a 9 are perceived to be lower than what they are, i.e. consumers see $1.69 as closer to $1 than $2. This is called Psychological Pricing
• In the Vaisheshika branch of Hindu Philosophy, there are nine universal substances or elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Ether, Time, Space, Soul, and Mind
• In Norse Mythology, the universe is divided into nine worlds which are all connected by the world tree - Yggdrasil
• There are 9 circles of hell in Dante's Inferno
• 9 is the atomic number of florine
• Most importantly, IT'S SINGLE DIGIT DAY DANCE TIME!!!!

I'll do my Single Digit Day Dance when I am home.. alone... with the blinds down...

Morning all! Gloomy and cool here in Orlando but it's Friday so I'm cool with it. Gonna spend the next three days goofing off around the house and might get the crock pot out again.

Have a great weekend!

I'm starting at Animal Kingdom and then going to the Magic Kingdom... how can I make fast pass reservations since I only have a paper ticket?

 

[Chuckers]

Never mind.. I figured it out and what I want, doesn't have any FP's available.. naturally.. I'll hit Pandora at rope drop tho

 

[Lynne G]

Yep cool and light rain morning. Quick with Fallon, even quicker with a Mummy. Then the awe of Potter drawing the very long quick line. Ah, still a good trip.

Well boys-n-gurls, seems like this NYr's trip was never meant to be. We booked, rebooked and rescheduled several times but I finally gave up yesterday and "canceled" everything. We have all had horrible colds with wall-shaking coughs and even with meds and SHOTS-(you know I was desperate to get SHOTS!)- it is just so slow to leave our systems. Flights, WD and USO rooms,-(with AP rate to boot!), TS ressies rental cars ...everything. Even had "free" house-sitters set up for the next 10 days. Such is life sometimes. Good news is,as soon as I can lift a hammer, I'm headed to South Texas to do some work at Mom's house and hopefully give her a little TLC.
Spring break trip maybe? Mar 9-17...or thereabouts...Anybody going then?

I'm sorry your trip was canceled. I can seriously relate. Feel better and now you can look forward to a new trip.. with a new countdown...
