Something About Nothing ... #12

[Charade67]

I feel like I haven’t been here in forever. B is volunteering at an egg hunt today, dh is out shopping, so I am kind of bored at home. I just finished reorganizing the linen closet. What an exciting life I have.

Schumi - I see that you have had another trip to Universal. I haven’t read the trip report yet. Hope you had a great time.

Lynne - I’m not much of a seafood eater either although I do love broiled scallops. Congrats to your daughter on getting her license. That is going to be a summer project for B.

Macraven - I have never watched Law & Order, but I recently discovered that B’s drama teacher was in an episode back in 2000.

I should be doing something productive, but right now I am in my recliner and enjoying the cool breeze from the open windows. I might even take a nap.

Hello to everybody else who stops by.

 

[macraven]

back home Charade

You have been missed.


Some homies take breaks from here and we always love when they drop back in.

Once a homie, always a homie here in the UO side of the Dis


I watched the news last night and saw some western states will be having their Easter egg hunt in a lot of snow.
Glad that is not going to be B's situation today


Now everytime I watch one of the older L&O shows, I'll be searching for a "drama teacher"

Hi all! Happy Easter weekend! Lazy day here- sun is out!!! Grocery shopping and buying a few Easter goodies!!
@Charade67 - love the kitty pic!

 

[keishashadow]

Keishashadow hope to someday meet you (and many from here) IRL. The ones I've met from trip planning threads the last year have been fun.. family is used to it now lol! Hope the weekend is able to be a start to some healing for you and family.

Sunny here! Had to find sunglasses for first time since Florida return, but I'm now realizing how dirty the house windows are no point in washing them yet with possible freezing rain Sunday.

Pizza for dinner tonight.

DH has taken the kid out driving more than I have.

Lazy Friday at home...

I believe I may have missed both a trippeee & a birthday?

Hi everybody

Mac, I made my 2 adrs a few days ago. Crazy to have to plan what we're going to eat 6 months in advance although I do enjoy the anticipation.

Mmm... tequila sunrise Carole.

It's my last night of freedom before I go back to work tomorrow...having a beer for Janet and cheese toast for dinner while watching the Braves game.

Janet, that cake sounds great to me.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend

I feel asleep sitting on couch & missed my beer darnit it lol. Have a lot of pineapple juice i drained from ambrosia fruit. It’s just screaming for some vodka

Didja accomplish anything while off work? We keep looking at soil but way to wet to even dream of trying to till or turn it over.

It's Fish fry Friday for my family- think it's only a northern thing.
Tequila sunrises sound good schumi! Hope to see the sun sometime soon!

Every friday like clockwork here. Hit the church ones up with one of my kids or I sauté shrimp for DH & me. Yesterday’s crab cakes came out well. I hate one with heavy breading, use panko

So.......Tequila Sunrises all around for everyone..........

And some of Jane’s cake.......sounds lush!!! And neon teal sounds bright........lol......GD and everyone else will love it.......your home sounds the place to be for a get together

MonyK, our windows are a disgrace right now........the weather while we were away has played hell with them......our window cleaner doesn’t come till next week........

Yes yesterday was supposed to be fish day here too........so I eat meat.......just to be different



Weather was atrocious during the night..........blowing a hoolie and rain.......woke me up more than a few times.......to be a high of 38f today........nice! Glad I don’t have to go anywhere........

Lunch is Parma ham and shrimp today........

Mixed dinner for everyone tonight........DS is having pizza whenever he comes in, DH is having.....something haven’t decided yet and I’m having spicy stir fried lemon and ginger chicken.........DH doesn’t like fresh ginger so, one of those nights........

Food is not far from my thoughts this weekend......

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

Or a really big one with a bunch of straws

Morning homies

No cartoons for me today since Law and Order reruns are back on now
Lol

Not even scooby doo?

March 20 was the big day for MonyK (bd)

Hi all! Happy Easter weekend! Lazy day here- sun is out!!! Grocery shopping and buying a few Easter goodies!!
@Charade67 - love the kitty pic!

Thanks Patty. I love cats. I currently have a cute, but very ornery gray/brown tabby.

You must have joined when I was away. I joined this group last year when I was planning a December Universal trip. I'm not sure when I will get back there. Our next big trip is planned for June of 2019. We will be going to southern California and probably visiting Disneyland while we are there.

Hi! yes- been a lurker for a while. The folks here are so warm & friendly so I formally joined them!
Love my kitties! Even though my house has turned into a mini pet rescue!

Love Disneyland! Haven't been there in a few years- need to get back soon. I thought it was much more relaxing than WDW. Universal Hollywood was great too! The tram tour was a lot of fun!

 

[Monykalyn]

Morning - well afternoon (or evening) all! Went to brunch this morning as a friend from out of state came in unexpectedly!! So fun to catch up , plus a couple others whom I haven’t seen in a while. And I’m stuffed. We had mimosas- which were ginormous. I’m ready for a nap but have to go shopping for shoes for middle kid. At least she can do the driving.

Started sunny here, now rain off/on. Missed the soccer game (in rain) because of brunch.

Dh wants me to book flights for June but eeeek! Prices. So nope / refuse to spend that much. We can always drive if we need to. But while he’s in spendy mode may try to get Universal passes taken care of Although now there’s a couple offers on vacation packages sitting in my email- gonna have to compare options...

Hair appointment made for next week- so long overdue but March unplanned trip took all my free days.

And she’s finally done eating. We are off between rain drops!

 

[schumigirl]

Lol.......MonyK.....our husbands must have the same frame of mind today........Tom just told me to upgrade our December flights to Premium Economy........ we had exit row seats booked which have great leg room, but Premium is better........and Kyle will be with us that trip so it’ll be nice........

So nice you got to catch up with your friend over brunch!! Enjoy the salon next week.........

Keisha don’t know about the sharing bowl..........some may sup more than others........I was caught like that once.........never again........lol........



Not stopped raining all day.........now it’s pitch black and so cold outside........glad I’m in........really enjoying these few days we don’t need to leave the house.........

Since the bottle is now open........ a couple of Tequila Sunrises are on the cards tonight while we watch a movie...........it’s the remake of an old film called Whisky Galore.........set in the Scottish Hebrides Islands during 1941, the true story of a ship that sank with 250,000 bottles of whisky........the locals gathered them and hid them before officials appeared looking for them........it’s years since we saw the original, so hoping the remake is at least a little funny........

If it’s rubbish we’ll watch something else.........

Hope your Saturday is a good one..........

Ah, all I can say is local voting will hopefully correct those who think money should buy local say. Makes me want to be happy to move some day.

Fun day out with the kids. Errands done, and kids are excited to be watching the hockey game in person tomorrow. Yep, Easter Day game, but early enough to be home in time for dinner and candy.


Hey Buckeev, hoping you have a vacation ticker counting down to actually leaving. Hope all is well in your neck of them woods.

MonyK, hope family is good and nice to catch up with an old friend. Yeah, have been disappointed with air fare and hotel prices lately.

Schumi, sounds like not so nice weather, but lovely that you have better seats for your December trip.

Patty, we have been to LA twice. Kids still talk about Universal Hollywood and getting warm mini donuts in their City Walk. I still have a smile when wearing a Disney Soda Shop shirt. We had sundaes there after a movie and toured the Chinese Theatre on one trip. Had to do Disneyland both trips.

Hey Charade, nice to hear about your day. Naps are always a good afternoon activity. Lots of egg hunts today, but kids are way too old. They rather go shopping and get stuff for them.

With that, older one wants Chinese or pizza. Not sure what I feel like for dinner. Little one just finished scarfing down some hit cheetos. Guess I will see what her vote is. Pasta is usually her choice.

Enjoy this lazy night.

Tell me your April trip is still on buckeev........
None of this 3 strikes on a match

 

[macraven]

Its is practically April 1st and you have not booked flights yet for a trip 2 months out??
Prices go up closer to trips....

You landed a spot on my "worry" list.........lol


Guess it is which airline you use though for when getting the deals.
I do see some best fares are one month out depending where you start from.

When I used United, prices dropped after they were released some months later and I would do best booking at 6 weeks out.
My last trip I didn't have a lot of advance time to book but still did fine with 2.5 weeks out on United.
Not many peeps fly North in the winter

SW, I got the better rates either when flights first released or around 3-4 months out.
This year I'm using Delta and booked it at the first of this month.
Its cheaper than what i saw on SW for my trip.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I had a halfway decent day today but still no radiology report from my MRI. I don't expect anything until Monday. I am now staring down the worst days of tax season and had to take Wednesday off for the injections. DH starts a new job Monday...well a new location for work, he moves around to different companies under the one he works for. My MIL is driving me to and from my appointment. That is almost worse than having needles in my back. Sorry I can't keep up much but come April 17, I will be here with bells on since my ADR day for WDW is the 22nd and I will be in full trip planning mode for both parks. Although, as we know, Universal planning isn't much of a problem in advance. Watching the HHN info intensely.

I do make it a point to come to this thread to respond to newbies to the Dark Side if I have something to contribute. Again, thanks to all.

 

[macraven]

Let's hope the next few days until the doctor appointment flys by for you.
And you can survive the drive Wednesday
Is your mil a speed demon?

Making the ADR's is stressful
Hope you can land all the ones you want for the right day and time.

Spent today tweaking the ones I made yesterday.
I have two buffets on the same day now.
lol
I'll be eating my way through the motherland in September

Then I will relocate and eat my way through the darkside........but on the fly.

 

[Lynne G]

Agavegirl, sorry to hear no results yet, but glad to hear you had a better day. I am sure it will get busier even more the next 2 weeks. Then you can relax and enjoy that trip planning mode.

Chinese won for dinner.

Mac, the planning lady. LOL

Quiet night. Older one was going to go out with friends, but it fell apart, so he is playing another video game. Little one is watching some show, and me, the news, and surfing the Dis. I may be ready for bed soon though. We will see.

 

[Monykalyn]

Prices go up closer to trips....

Yeah-prices weren't great to start with, hoping Frontier has one of their sales closer to time-our return flight dropped in March even, between when started looking and booking.. If we don't get better fares, we will drive.

Let the kid drive for shopping. Managed to get her 2 pairs of shoes, me one pair (walking sandals). Then went to store next door and she managed to find 3 pairs of shorts, capri, and 3 shirts plus underwear. Oh well, she needed everything. Has been getting hand me downs from older one-which although in good shape (and she likes the stuff) and it was nice to get her some new stuff.

eat my way through the darkside

I'm binge watching Santa Clarita diet-those words have different meaning now. Show is darkly humorous though!

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, second wind and excited town with college ball.

Midnight soon.

Tax season doesn’t sound like a lot of fun! But, good luck with everything......including drive with MIL........
