Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

I forget the weather clause with the airlines
You are correct, no compensation for weather delays

But good news he is now home

Have a blast in Orlando pattyw !
Come back hone with a tan

 

[agavegirl1]

Happy Friday and May the Fourth be with you! I think I will make hubby watch The Last Jedi tonight. We haven't seen it yet and I have it on Blue Ray. (I know, I know but it was tax season).

Have fun Patty!

Charade, I am doing laundry as well. Funsies... That Yoda meme is awesome BTW.

Schumi, I love flourless chocolate cake. So decadent.

Well, it sounds like the washer is done....oh joy...

 

[Lynne G]

Patty, yeah, weather can really mess with plans sometimes. Glad to hear he made it back home, and they got a flight the next morning. The time I got delayed, yep, 2 nights we had to make our own paid plans, and back to the airport too. Luckily, we got the first flight, an evening flight out from a different airport too, two days after our morning flight. Stupid blizzard. And a big yay, you made it down and enjoying some lovely Florida weather. 90 for us before the cold wind says not done yet, as high on Sunday is 67.

Sigh, not changing the whole closet over quite yet. We've had some very hot Memorial Day's and some rainy, and not very warm ones too. I think little one is right, we have two seasons, hot and cold. So overcast right now, seems like rain. Got muggy too. Thanks for mixing cold and warm air Mother Nature. Rainy weekend in store. Eh, that's fine. Jacket, pants, and an umbrella to watch the soccer game. Unless it is hard rain, or lightning in the area, game usually not cancelled. Hence a bag with clothes and towel will be in the car. Two more tournaments and maybe a beach one, and then we are done. I love the summer, nights are family time.

Hey, I see SW is going to Hawaii next year. Hmmm, Christmas in Hawaii, with a stop in SD, yeah, I want to see prices and this may happen, though not next year for me. May be a couples trip, when kids are both in college. Eh, for now, a back of the mind thought. But, hey I am always happy when there is competition in airfares.

What for lunch, yeah, breakfast was an ice cream bar that was almost neon pink. Said to be strawberry, but even the fake flavor barely tasted like that fruit. But it was refreshing. And somebody must have been told we were too hot, now I need a jacket for inside.

Hey, Charade and Aagavegirl, wash for me is a week-end chore. Hope it goes fast, so you can enjoy the rest of the day.

Schumi, hope you are having a nice day. Flourless cake is lush, and so nice of you to make it for Kyle before jetting off. And that means, your countdown is almost at 1.

Hello Mac, hope you are enjoying some coffee and glad to see you'll have a list to follow tomorrow. It better contain some fiesta stuff. Yep, tomorrow, we'll be making hand tacos and watching the horses race with comments on the hats.

Tea anyone? No ice with it now.

 

[macraven]

Where is Buckeev?

I know he returned from the vacation


Come on back homie and tell us you had the bestest trip ever!

 

[schumigirl]

Agave......yes, decadent is the best way to describe it.........although I don’t like it, I have tried it and it’s almost chewy like.......makes Kyle happy anyway........glad to hear you like flourless too, so many don’t..........another one who has done laundry today........got it all out this morning on the line and it’s dried beautifully.........



Yes, where is buckeev!!! We miss him.........


We have gorgeous weather!!!! 70F outside.......which for us this time of year is good!! And getting warmer over weekend.........need to get the gas grill scrubbed up and back in use I think........

Had lovely lunch with friends.........didn’t have any wine as I had physio this afternoon, but having one soon........heck, it’s Friday and we’re in vacation mode now...........

6 more sleeps.........

 

[schumigirl]

Am I the only one who hates Star Wars????

I seem to be in the minority...........

 

[Charade67]

Just found 2 yellow jackets (I think) in my laundry room. One was mostly dead, but the other one was very much alive. I’m a bit phobic when it comes to flying, stinging insects.

 

[Lynne G]

- yeah, Buckeev and his beautiful wife, Squirlz on a road trip still? Keisha, having fun (well, excused for that), House (being newer homies doesn't count), Chuckers (on a roller coaster doesn't count), TinyD (chasing the dog with your bag of chips doesn't count) and any other homies - hello! What ya up to?

Charade, I hate any bug or vermin in my house. Yep, I have had bees in my laundry room too. I just bought 2 big cans of wasp and bee spray. One goes by the front door, one in my laundry room. It's that time of year, bees go crazy with all the flowers blooming. Little one pointed out our flowering cherry tree is in full bloom now, it must be Spring, as it had no flowers not that long ago.

I don't think you are in the minority Schumi. I can't say we are avid fans, but I do enjoy some of it. Not eager to see SW land any time soon after it opens.

With that, walk had the sun come out about half way, and ooh it was muggy. Yes muggy, so had to walk some more for iced coffee. Yep, need stronger than tea.

Have a great one homies! Friday is here! WAHOO!

 

[Monykalyn]

Talked the boss into 2 visits per month at my newest home-and it is a bit slow today. Ah well-they are trying out their brand new BBQ grill to "see how it works" in anticipation of Nursing Home week-free Food for staff!

Older kid made a spontaneous trip home last night! Finals next week and she has nothing until mid morning Tuesday. She brought a car load home with her-living room looked a mess last night but very happy to have her home for bonus time. She will have less than a week between end of finals and us leaving with her for her Summer program.
But 2 weeks from today we meet the other daughter in Florida-in her birthday! So excited to finally meet her-been texting all week finalizing meet up plans. She and her son and hubs will be joining us in Disney for a few days in June as well. Gonna be so fun and interesting with an almost 3 year old around on his first trip.

Last night the school had sort of an open house for students who will be taking AP or dual enrollment classes next year. B got to meet her English teacher. She is the same teacher who sponsors the Harry Potter club, so B already knows her. I’m glad she’s getting a teacher she knows and likes.

My middle adores her English teacher-she really enjoyed the student teacher as well-spent a few hours making origami penguin herd for him (for last day) as apparently he loves penguins.

Lynne - I am also the shortest in the family

I am not yet the shortest but I will be in a year or two. But I wear same size shoe as oldest so yeah-show swap. Both girls also "borrow" shirts, dresses and sweaters from my closet.

Hey, I see SW is going to Hawaii next year. Hmmm, Christmas in Hawaii, with a stop in SD, yeah, I want to see prices and this may happen, though not next year for me. May be a couples trip, when kids are both in college. Eh, for now, a back of the mind thought. But, hey I am always happy when there is competition in airfares.

Disney Visa was offering 30% off Aulani stays plus resort credit for stays this summer and fall. I am betting that with SW:GE opening in Land and World next year that Aulani will offer those discounts (or better) next year too, and if SW can do some cheaper flights...hmmm. If not for the cruise in October we would be booking Hawaii. The prices were surprising reasonable I thought (certainly no more and in many cases-cheaper-than deluxe stay at Disneyworld)

MMM can smell the BBQ-Lunch time!
May the 4th be with you!

 

[Charade67]

I called our pest control company. They were scheduled to come out for a routine inspection later this month. It's now been moved up to Tuesday. We used to get spiders in the laundry room until we hired the pest control service.

My family loves Star Wars. I am looking forward to the SW land at Disney, but we will probably wait until at least a year after it opens to visit.

I am pretty sure I am in the minority here when it comes to horror. You will never find me visiting HHN at Universal.

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, Oh, I am a weenie when it comes to horror, but it was fun to have the HHN VIP with Mac and gang. It was a good thing Robo's sister was a good sport with me.

Was so hungry, now feel full. Large cup of iced coffee drank too fast, I guess.

Yay! MonyK. Glad to hear of older one coming home, even with the mess, and free food and mouse visit. Busy month for ya.

Mac, are youse around? Hope the cats are behaving and Luna doing well after her surgery.

 

[macraven]

No idea what you are talking about

 

[Lynne G]

Mac, did not Blue or Luna have surgery last week or so? Teeth issue. Maybe I'm getting old. LOL

 

[schumigirl]

Harry Potter night ahead.........

Wine, chips and dips and olives with some prosciutto and Brie with crackers...........

Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone up first..........

 

[Charade67]

Last load of laundry is in the wash. Yay!

I found some receipts laying on the floor and figured they something dh forgot to give me. I went to write them in the checkbook register (yeah, I still do that) and discovered they were from Bongos Cuban Cafe in Downtown Disney. The date was 12/27/15. No idea where these receipts have been and why they materialized 2.5 years later.

MonyK - I have been deleting those Disney Visa offers before even reading them. Too tempting. I should have a nice amount o Disney dollars saved up when we go to Disneyland next year.

Dh is going to see The Avengers again tonight. I think he is going with some students. I don't know what B and I will do. Maybe I will see if we have any more of the Marvel movies I haven't seen. I just completed Iron Man 1-3.

 

[macraven]

I’m more into talking about weather and hhn now

‘‘Tis the season to get the scoops and leaks about what’s gonna happen come mid September

Huge horror fans here and of course HHN is the best!!

Mac, Janet and our mate Metro West have been going forever, always think of them as the best HHN aficionados ........I’ve only been going since 2007, but fell in love with the whole event on our first visit........hooked!!!!

Can’t wait for this years event now............

 

[macraven]

My first hhn was 1999

 

[schumigirl]

My first hhn was 1999

They had some fabulous themes over the years we missed.......would love to have seen a few of them......

You definitely know your stuff!!



Ok, now I look like a real lush ..........Tom has opened 2 rather special bottles of wine.......and kinda like mini tasting sessions, we have some in different glasses........and he just took my picture holding both glasses deciding which one to have first........decisions.

 

[macraven]

Schumi, you don’t have to drive anywhere tonight so finish the bottles

And enjoy!

Let us know which one was best
