Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Ugh, you mean to tell me the new transformer installed this summer does not work when the temperature is frigid? No electricity until later this afternoon. Time to find some blankets and use our phone.

 

[Chuckers]

Sitting on the shuttle waiting to go to RPR. I have heard that the hotels have a convention going on so that’s why I couldn’t change room preferences

 

[Chuckers]

The hotel, RPR, is beautiful and I’ve only seen the lobby so far!

 

[Chuckers]

I’m on the water taxi and I am so freaking excited I could explode!

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! Enjoy the parks Chuckers!

You have no heating

Oh my goodness......Lynne that’s awful! Hope by now it’s back on for you........if not head to a hotel.........you can’t be cold........


Still cold here, colder now since it’s got dark........house is warm and cosy though.........fancy an early night though......

Oh no

 

[Chuckers]

Thanks Lynne, I am having a blast. Gringotts was really good! Sorry about your heat situation. Hope that gets fixed soon!

 

[Lynne G]

Electricity on, and the house was 55 when it came back on. I hope they fully fixed the transformer. Heater is working, but taking time to be warm enough for us. Thanks for all your concerns. Yeah, Schumi, if we did not get it soon, we would have slept somewhere else.

Quite Sunday night. Glad and made pepper steak and used the oven to make some cookies. Just relaxing now.

Good evening everyone. We are under a winter weather advisory for most of tomorrow. We may get a “wintery mix” but probably not any real snow. I am waiting to see if school is cancelled or on a delay for tomorrow.

Keisha - Congrats to your granddaughter. Please remind me what type of competition she does.

Agavegirl - Prayers for a non issue.

Chuckers - So glad you finally made it to Universal. We really enjoyed staying at RPR. I recommend Jakes for a nice meal.

Lynne - Glad you got your power back.

I’m watching to playoffs and my Panthers aren’t doing so well.

 

[Chuckers]

I am probably going to run down to Jake's for a snack now.

 

[Charade67]

I know I’m too late, but I recommend the spinach and artichoke flatbread.

School is closed tomorrow, but I probably still have to go to work.

 

[Chuckers]

I ended up going to Islands and having the beef satay. Had a really cute waiter and I will probably go back tomorrow night for dinner because it's Wok night and he's working

 

[Monykalyn]

Chuckers-glad to see you made it! Hope the weather stays nice and rain stays away!!!!
@agavegirl1 Hoping the monitor shows nothing serious-and YAY! to the good news on the blood pressure.

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

Wow how awesome!
Lynne-glad the heat is back on-I might have bailed at 50 degrees.
Schumi-want to come decorate my house? with no budget (not no limit but no money )?


Cold again today-chickens came out for a bit-but when the rain really started they all bolted for the coop. Well except cuddle chicken-she was soaked when I went to lock them up. Think she is part duck-water doesn't bother her...even icy cold rain. Explains why she has a bit of frostbite on a comb tip.

Ugh-busy week ahead-working every day (usually only work 3-4 days), but tomorrow is my last visit to my least favorite home, and it is an hour away. Glad to be giving it up. The new state of art nursing home in my town is open and rapidly accepting residents, so will be doing that one instead. And a swim meet. And sertoma meetings. And indoor soccer starts. And oldest DD is only home this week. She is planning on leaving Saturday to get settled into her new apartment near campus. At least she will have her car this year, and she is only 3.5 hours away instead of 17. Have to say-prior to Disney she would have been a little freaked out by having to move herself into an apartment (we can't go this weekend with swim meets and soccer). Instead she is planning on seeing if any of her friends are around and just doing it herself. She doesn't need furniture or anything, so mostly bedding and personal stuff.

Watching the dumbest movie ever-and it is like a black hole/accident/cant look away...San Andreas...

[schumigirl]

A big Happy Monday to all........

macraven.......... We`re all thinking of you........have a safe journey

MonyK......you`re on!!!! Love it.......Tom says I cant spell the word budget.....so we`d be ok......sort of....... Oh we watched San Andreas......truly dreadful....but we watched it to the bitter end!!! Although I see my husband watch some real doozies of movies.....usually sci fi......and they`re so bad he has to see how they end.......

Lynne.......so glad to hear you have heating!!! I can`t imagine that type of cold with no heating........


Cold day here today again, but sun is shining, just very frosty.......

May go out this afternoon.......just for a mooch, don't really need anything.........

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

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh hoping a delayed opening tomorrow. We're getting freezing rain or sleet, and the temperature is to be falling as the rain/sleet, so a white knuckle ride home. Or not. I am a wimp. Going to bail and work from home by lunchtime. Doubt little one will be let out early, but I guess that depends when the rain/sleet arrives. Saying around 3 or 4 pm. So no early let out for her. Expecting an inch of ice on top of our frozen left over snow. Ugly black and gray solid frozen snow along the berm of the road. The plows were better at clearing the width of the road at some points than other points. Thus, it's been fun driving. We haven't seen above freezing for several days now. Yeah, Keisha, I'm waiting for that warmer air. Only issue, it will be one wet, soggy day if we stay above freezing. But please, let that warm, above freezing air come soon. Icy roads are not my idea of fun. That, and wires/trees with an inch of ice, please oh please, no stoppage of electricity again.

And, now I have a very sore throat and an off and on runny nose. May be a tad hot, but not running a fever, thankfully. Another reason I'll probably bail. Not so warm inside today.

Yep, heater was working quite well yesterday once power returned. Little one upped the temperature. DH was mad it seemed too warm. Yeah, maybe, we turned it down when all went to sleep. Older one is still home. School does not start for another week. He's learning what it means to be a family taxi. HaHa. We told little one, even if you get your license this summer, no car until you go to college. Potty mouth response. Hey, she only have to wait a year. Hopefully by then, parental unit's car may be for sale. At least that's what we are generally hoping.

MonyK, that crazy chicken. Even frostbite. I hope all the chickens are warm. Nice to hear DD is on her own now. Older one thought about getting an apartment, but so far, he's realized it's significantly cheaper staying at home. Glad your work commute is not as far soon. We have many homes near us, including the one my DM is in.

Chuckers, glad you had a good meal in Islands. We ate there once, but found other places we enjoyed more. I hope your wok dinner is good.

Schumi, hope you get better weather than frosty. At least the sun is out. Hope your mooching goes well, and have a nice afternoon out.

Mac, hope all is well with you. Hugs and safe travels with good results.


With that, tea. Hot tea. Lemon may go into it too.

Later homies.

 

[Chuckers]

@Lynne G im very picky when it comes to food. I don’t really go adventurous when it comes to eating. Islands had something simple and good.
I’m sure Jakes is wonderful, but I would have had to make too many substitutions to get something I wanted to eat. Chefs hate me.

Happy Monday All! Day two on the boat to go to early Islands. FB TODAY!

 

[keishashadow]

Here a nice coating of ice on roads, hope we get enough snow to give good traction for evening rush hour. Yes southern peeps we do wish for stranger things up north in the winter

Mac don't have too much fun on your get-away...you still have to herd (us)when you get back

Just to be proactive & get ahead of the pack; if we break anything here: i dint do it

 

[Lynne G]

Eek, Keisha. Everything closing early, including the schools, so rush hour early. Now saying around 2 or 3 pm. Agree, ice on the roads no fun. Much rather have snow too. Yeah, that's why we live where there's 4 or maybe 3 now, seasons. Ready to get out winter now though. That arctic air is not my idea of fun either.

Salt brine on roads and parking lots have made them white, as well as the cars. Need to get my car washed. Already had to pump air into the tires because of the cold.

Spring, where are ya?
