Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

That was quick.........fixed issue and gone.........

Some nice sounding plans for Superbowl......always love to hear the food plans more.........

buckeev.....I know even less about Baseball than I do American Football!!! We`re patiently awaiting the new F1 season......although they've altered the rules and challenges so much it`s not really the same anymore........we miss F1 of a good few years back..........

mac.......hope you were sleeping this morning when I didn't see you online........and KFish too must have been sleeping........

MonyK.......congrats to DD on her achievements.........well done!!!


Today is a lazy day for sure.........few pink gin cocktails too many and not much sleep........not a hangover, I never drink that much.......but, feeling a little tired!

Have a great Saturday...........

So the next feeding was at 5:45....not too bad. Wish I could get him out though...just too cold. And to top it off, a student in Chris's class was diagnosed with the flu so we are watching him like hawks and keeping him away from Charlie.

Less than two weeks til Florida!

For some reason I thought today was Sunday when I woke up

Must have been the dream I had


Is it Charlie time yet?

 

[Monykalyn]

Lazy saturday here too Schumi. Those Memes made me snort coffee Got out of bed long enough to start coffee and get a cup, decided to crawl back under covers with laptop. Slept in too.
Got to do a grocery run eventually. Maybe a movie.

Made it to 1... that's about four hours from his last feeding so not bad.



I agree Mony even though I feel like a Zombie for the rest of the day.

Btw - my husband and I were competitive swimmers all the way through college. What was her time for the 100 free?

She went from 1:22 to 1:17. This is her second year on the team and never swam competitively before.

Possible snow tomorrow and tuesday-bleh.

Lazy Saturday for us. English football viewing and getting ready to do some errands.

Made a huge plateful of pancakes. They were tasty.

Guess I will have to wait to hear of Charlie’s 2 pm feeding. Nice he goes in 4 hour shifts for now. Hopefully extending to 5 in the next week. New moms never get much sleep the first month.

Schumi, hope your internet issue gets resolved and you have uninterrupted broadband now.

MonyK, congratulations to the swimmer. I also swam competitively when I was younger too, then became a lifeguard when I was 16. Neither of my kids have interest in competing, they both can swim well and little one likes it more than older one. I am hoping little one gets her lifeguard license next year. Not a bad thing to have, and our local pools pay well.

Eh, ready to bundle up and find my sunglasses. Nippy cool, but hey we see the sun and blue skies.

Saturday it is, enjoy and have a lovely day.

Is it Charlie time yet?

I left Charlie with my parents because we took Chris to a Home Depot workshop to make a little craft. Then we left him with my Mom to go to Olive Garden (mom doesn't eat Italian food) for the Never Ending Classics.

She went from 1:22 to 1:17. This is her second year on the team and never swam competitively before.

That's great! How old is she? I was a butterflyer and a distance freestyler. My husband was a breastroker and an IMer. My three boys are destined for the pool....just need one more to complete the relay team.

Guess I will have to wait to hear of Charlie’s 2 pm feeding. Nice he goes in 4 hour shifts for now. Hopefully extending to 5 in the next week. New moms never get much sleep the first month.

He is sleeping now...he is getting between 4-5 ounces a feeding so hopefully he will continue to hold out longer. We shall see!

Have to post a new pic soon....still have not figured out how to directly post it here, just the link. If anyone can give me tips, let me know!

 

[schumigirl]

KFish, upload your pictures to a hosting site like Smugmug or similar......it’s really easy that way. Some do it direct from pics on computer. It tells you how to do it on the tech help site.......I’m rubbish at giving descriptions how to do it........but it’s fairly easy........

MonyK.......hope you enjoyed your late sleep......it’s always nice to do that........

Yes mac......Saturday all day today........

Thanks Lynne......Internet seems to be sorted now.......for now.......not convinced. It’s really fast, just goes off now and again when they fiddle with it..........annoying.



Been raining all day today, just looked out and there’s sleety hailstones coming in from the sea........cold. Nice day to be staying in all day actually.........

And I have a cold. Me and my big mouth......said to my physio the other day I hadn’t had a real cold for a few years.......she was getting over a bad one. So I think she passed it on......sore throat, feeling tired and can’t be bothered.........lots of hot drinks with honey and lemon in.

Although I did manage to book The Palm at HRH for our March trip...............me that never books or plans anything...... well, one booking doesn’t make me a planner.........

House is really warm, I have real winter jammies on and cuddled on sofa with a fleecy throw over me.......Tom is bringing me another tea right now.......he has wine.......lol........

 

[Robo56]

Afternoon everyone .

Lazy afternoon here to today. Has been cloudy and windy all day.

Schumi have Tom add a nice shot of bourbon in your tea to go with your honey and lemon. Will warm your bones. Nothing like a little spirit medicinal to cure what ails you. Mummy dust being sent for quick recovery.

Lynne pancakes sound yummy.

I left Charlie with my parents because we took Chris to a Home Depot workshop to make a little craft. Then we left him with my Mom to go to Olive Garden (mom doesn't eat Italian food) for the Never Ending Classics.

So sweet of your family to help out with Charlie so you can get out.

Kfish if you have an IPhone I can help. Take your picture, it will go into your camera roll, get on the web from you phone, sign into disboards, go to upload a File on bottom right of screen page, then choose photo library, camera roll, touch picture you want, it will put a check mark on picture, then hit done in upper right corner, it will then load your picture at bottom of page and just it full image and wala a full picture of Charlie for us to see. If you attempt to take photos with your camera sideways as opposed to straight up and down it says the photos are to large and won't post. Hope this helps if you have an IPhone. This also works the same way from your IPad.

I breathe football, the commercials take it to another level for me., wings, hot sausage, fries, nachos, dip & veggies, cheese & cracker tray

Wow, that's a Super Bowl Spread. I do like the commercials. The Doritos one comes to mind.

I am having a semi lazy Saturday. I’ve done a little bit of cleaning, but not much. I need to vacuum, but dh is taking a nap in the living room. I am listening to the sounds of the clarinet coming from downstairs. B has a district concert assessment coming up the first weekend in march. We are hoping it won’t conflict with opening night of Barnum.

Buckeev - I prefer baseball over football. I grew up watching the Atlanta Braves. I miss the days when we could watch the games on TBS almost every night.

MonyK - Congrats to your daughter. I guess I’m in the minority here. I never learned to swim. I actually have a bit of a fear of water. B loves to swim, but has never done it competitively.

Schumi - It seems like smoke alarm batteries die at the worst possible times. I remember having to replace one after midnight. Thankfully the grocery store is open 24 hours.

Lynne - Pancakes sound really good. I seem to be incapable of making them though. B has offered to try sometime. I’d like to get a griddle, but right now I just don’t have the storage space.

Now we are waiting to see what weather tomorrow brings. Last I hear it is supposed to start as snow, turn to sleet, and then to rain. I don’t know if we will have church services or not.

 

[Monykalyn]

Schumi hope you feel better soon! Good excuse to drink lots of tea with honey and lemon though...mmmm.

Kstarfish-my swimmer is 15. She is a high school sophomore (she started early). She definitely prefers freestyle! Hoping she makes it on a relay team next season-will really need to keep up her swimming this summer if that is what she wants...

Pancakes sound yummy. Pulled the stack of waffles out of freezer from last time I made a batch. Subbing a small bit of whole wheat flour instead of all white flour helps to crisp them up in the toaster I find.

Grocery shopping today was survival of the fittest! Way worse than Thanksgiving week in Florida! Oh well-done now. Tacos/nachos for dinner tonight. Think I am gonna get it done now and keep in crockpot to stay hot til everyone wants to eat...

 

[Squirlz]

The strangest thing happened today; we walked to one of our favorite restaurants to get wet burritos. Less than 2 minutes after we got there a couple who are dear friends from 20 miles away walked in! They had never even been there before, she got a gift card for Christmas. Such an incredible coincidence.

So Justin Timberlake? I'll be able to watch halftime with the sound on for once.

 

[Lynne G]

That is cool Squirlz. Nice to see friends when you do not expect it.

Schumi, I hope you feel much better. Colds are no fun. Keep drinking tea and get a good night sleep.

And with that,



My kids said lights out. Um, ready me too. I will leave the light on for Mac and Kfish.

 

[macraven]

Some one wake Charlie up
I’m not staying up to 2:00 tonight
Been a long day here for me

Night Lynne

Schumi hope you are feeling better

Squrlz what a nice surprise to see your friends there at dinner time !

Sunday greetings!




I.think I am more excited about the puppy bowl than the super bowl.


Hehe, even our churches have signs. And last night, all town bridges and high rises had green lights.

How is Mother Nature cheering? Snow, then periods of heavy rain (chucking down English style) then mores snow, before ending around midnight.

No matter, Fly Eagles Fly!

 

[Lynne G]

I am almost ready for my second cup. Shh, kids are still asleep. Well, maybe not little Charlie.

 

[macraven]

Good Sunday morning Homies!

 

[Robo56]

Morning Lynne . Morning Mac

I have a big mug of coffee this morning. Supposed to be 82 here today, but it’s cloudy.

Everyone is looking forward to the Super Bowl this evening. Son called last night and told me what they were having for Super Bowl snacks. If I wasn’t 975 miles away I would be at their house......yum.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. We woke up to a tiny bit of snow this morning. Not even enough to call a dusting. It quickly turned into freezing rain, and then just regular rain.
I ended up taking a 3 hour nap this afternoon. I guess I really needed some sleep.

Tonight we watched a little bit of the Puppy Bowl and then put on a movie. I guess I’ll watch commercials online.

Congrats to the Eagles!

Who besides Lynne and Janet is dancing right now ?
