Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Keisha sounds a lovely place to eat a meal........love places like that........

Lynne, I baked today too.......although our home, especially the kitchen is always warm with the aga being on, but I know what you mean.......baking makes the place feel cosier........

Baked Madeira cake......similar to pound cake and ginger cake.........aromas were indeed warming! Now trying not to eat too much of it.........


It’s the breeze here that causing the low temps.......straight from the sea which is strange as they said we were getting the tail of the weather that’s hitting the North and East of the USA.......so it’s coming the wrong way right now.....I face the North Sea and it’s coming straight from Siberia.........or so it seems......I went down the driveway to check our gates were closed and it is indeed perishing!

Lazy night tonight watching a supposed scary movie........set in Connecticut.....can’t remember the name.......hope it’s good.........like a good scare!

I was just talking to someone yesterday, wondering if the bounceback would be any better than it has been last few years - lame-o! Do u remember if room only or pkg requirement?

'I got 30% of room only for the Cabins for dates I wanted. Was a day short for POR (think that was 20%?). Will keep it unless an AP rate comes along that's better. Used to get PIN codes and haven't had one in over a year-and I'd probably use it this time too! I excpect with TSL opening that dates are gonna fill up quickly.

Chili on stove- braved the cold early before stores got busy to go grocery shopping. Hoping I'm ambitious enough tomorrow to do some prep work (chopping veggies etc) as this week is going to be busy.

Working on cleaning bathrooms and floors (sticking to my kitchen floor- what did the kids DO while I was away??). Slowly de-Holidizing the house. Dislike this time of year- dreary January made worse with the takedown of extra lights.

Sun is out. Chicks in sheltered part of yard out of wind enjoying the sun.

Supposed to have a warmup this week before more winter weather...

Hi All!

I finally have a minute to breath as I prep to leave tomorrow!!!!! I had to work this morning, do last minute shopping, and start packing. I have no idea what to put in my suitcase because the weather is going to be warm and cool and maybe cold.

What's weird is I have to wear clothes for Boston to the airport, but be able to be comfortable once I get to Florida. Luckily, my housemate will also be able to pick me up, so I am going to leave my heavy coat with her so she can bring it back when she picks me up.

Um, i may be looking at this upside down & realize we all set our own priorities in life but struggling to wrap my head around fact they can't afford to have their own apartment, but can justify taking a trip to England in February.

You're not, but there's more to it than just a trip to England. Wayne's mother lives in England. He hasn't been able to see her in 5 years and his father is dying. They found really cheap airfare and will be staying with his mother, so they're not spending a lot for the trip. He really needs to see his mom, so I am not begrudging them this trip.

And for my next post.. my FINAL count down post.. which should make a lot of people happy

 

[Chuckers]

1!

• Is the atomic number of hydrogen
• Is neither a prime nor composite number, it is called a Unit
• In baseball scoring, 1 is the number assigned to the pitcher
• Is the lowest number a player may wear in the NHL. The NHL has banned 00 and 0, the highest number it 98
• In Formula One racing, the previous year's world champion may use the number 1
• Three Dog Night claim that 1 is the loneliest number

I may be traveling solo, but I will feel anything but alone at Universal Studios when I leave TOMORROW!!!!!!

 

[Chuckers]

Well, just looked at the weather.. upper 70's now.. but rain every day. I'm hoping it's regular Florida rain with lasts 20 minutes and then it's done.

Safe travels Chuckers!

Have a great time Chuckers!

Good news: GD aced her 1st competition of seasonfistful of medals & scored high enough to qualify for states in April.

Bad news: grandma will be stepping onto a big ship via a non-refundable fare that she just paid off yesterday sigh.

Monyk - Never a pin code was sent my way. Mouse knows he got me lol

Oh dear, that is so sad to read. That trip is not a want, it's a need! Wish them well & enjoy the heck out of Orlando!

Safe travels Chuckers!

Thanks for the encouragement homies. I need some lab tests and a 48 hour hookup on a Holter monitor in the next few weeks. Being back to work full time doesn't help. There is a high likelihood this is a nonissue but can be caused by caffeine which I don't consume, a thyroid hormone imbalance or may be a precursor to AFib. Hence the lab tests and monitor. Meanwhile my regular medications for HBP are awesome for heart health and my blood pressure is perfect.

 

[Lynne G]

That is mostly good news Agave. I hope it is nothing and all goes well with the lab tests and such.

Safe travels and bring a raincoat or umbrella so it does not rain, Chuckers. Nice you get a ride to the airport. Have an awesome trip. Sorry your tenants have to make such a sad trip. I hope they get to spend as much time with mom as they can.

Yay! GDG scored so great Keisha. And yay for a cruise. Enjoy. I am ready for a vacation. But, none on the horizon for now.


Hunkered down. Cold night in store,

 

[Chuckers]

Hope you have a good vacation, too, @keishashadow

@agavegirl1 I'm hoping it's a non-issue!!

Thanks for the good wishes all! I may not be able to sleep tonight!

Congrats on the GD doing so well Janet......she is a little star!!! And growing up so quickly!!! Shame you miss the performance in April.......timing is everything isn't it.........the woman who waxes my legs told me yesterday she`s going to be away when her daughter has her first baby..........trip is all paid and they`re going with another couple so can`t just change it........timing again........forgot how close this trip coming up is........this week!!!

Chuckers have a wonderful and safe trip..........

Agavegirl.......continued good wishes....such a stressful time..........

mac.........



Beautiful but cold day today.......around zero degrees but sun is shining.....went out a walk into village as all we needed was milk.....quite pleasant.

This afternoon we are clearing out a solid oak cabinet in the dining room as we have the decorators coming on Tuesday.......so we can put all the stuff from that into some of the space we cleared upstairs and in the garden room meantime.........this cabinet weighs a ton empty so dreading them having to move it Tuesday.......will make a start today, then finish off clearing both sitting room and dining room out tomorrow. It`s a large table we have in there but it can be turned sideways and just covered.......thankfully don't need to move that as it weighs a ton too........unit can stand beside table and that should give them plenty of room.

Such upheaval getting rooms decorated.......but worth it.

Have a great Sunday.........

 

[Chuckers]

Well, I am at the gate waiting to board. The flight is oversold... naturally. I am NOT giving up my flight.

 

[Chuckers]

On the plane and ready to fly!

 

[Lynne G]

Chuckers, hope your flight was uneventful and you are ready for the parks soon or already there enjoying that Florida weather.

Eh, apparently beating Schumi temperature. We are a lovely 8 now. Brilliant sunshine and an awesome blue winter sky.

Trying to get little one up. Need to finish up the errands. She is not a breakfast food fan, so even the offer of coffee as we travel is not enough. Most stop breakfast around 10:30 or 11. Need to holler, later homies.

Enjoy your Sunday!

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all!

Chuckers lol I'd have been tempted to jump take the gimmies the airline offered. My better half always holding me down though

Lynne just saw it's going to be nearly 60 degrees here near end of week! Perhaps it'll keep rolling you way. What a nice break, sorta sad to miss it. Excited it's going to break 20 degrees later today. Has to be close to three weeks here under freezing.

Carole sounds like a daunting process but will be well worth it in the end.

There’s no way I would wait another hour! I have taken the jump before, but not this time!

 

[Chuckers]

HELLO MCO!!! A very nice in eventful flight! We took off 39 minutes late and arrived 30 minutes early!

 

[Charade67]

Have a great time Chuckers.
