Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Our weather is so good today but rain will come tonight.


My rose bushes all started blooming early last month and but now all my flowers are in full bloom.
I'd show you the pictures but haven't figured how to do it yet....

I was able to do it on my last computer but since I have the iPhone, usually just send pics in a text out.

Charade, I bet your daughter is glad to have all her tests done.
I'm sure she did great on her last one.

Me too!

I'm waiting for our homie on the spot pattyw to post more food porn pics to us.

Hope all the homies are relaxing and having a good weekend

 

[schumigirl]

Your flowers are beautiful in your garden mac............we have more trees than flowers, but we do have a huge white rose bush that is ancient! Our gardener thinks it’s much older than him.......and he’s in his 50’s! Just happens to be my favourite flower too..........

Yes, loving the live food porn............we never post pictures live as we don’t upload our pictures till we get home......and as I don’t bring my phone so, can’t use that..........I am thinking of having an Instagram account though........but means bringing a phone and I’m not keen to do that...........will think on that........


This time next week we’ll be in Ocean Prime having my favourite cocktail in there......Berries and Bubbles.........

2nd and 3rd Potter movies tonight..........wine and snacks again.........although was hard to leave the garden.......we had been sitting under our gazebo enjoying the heat but with shade.........but, always enjoy watching certain movies before a trip..........

Time for a top up............

 

[agavegirl1]

Patty, thanks for the food porn.

Charade, B has such lovely hair. I think that was the perfect amount of purple.

Money, husband is doing yard cleanup. Garden is a little further away for our agricultural zone.

Schumi... we were going to watch the Last Jedi last night with some Moscow Mules but left the movie at the city house. We’ 100 miles away at the lake house. Poor planning.

We were going to grill tonight but there is a 95% chance of rain. We need it though. Thinking of going out to eat.

Oh dear........still......long as you have the Moscow mule ingredients or access to alcohol.....all is still good!!! Being at a Lake House for the weekend sounds divine.........it certainly evokes a vision of beauty...........


Can’t wait till Tuesday..........legs waxing appointment along with hair and eyebrow appointment.........need to get rid of the grey roots, needs a good colour and cut.........blonde whether it be fake or not is still blonde...........but it needs a good cut.......longer hair needs to be kept tidy, so going a little shorter.........not too short as I have a very chubby face........doesn’t suit me being short. But, nice to get all my holiday stuff sorted in one day.........dh has a haircut that day too.......

DS has taken a day off of work on Wednesday, so we’ll spend the day doing something nice together.......go out for lunch and maybe go karts or similar...........should be fun...........

On 3rd Potter movie.........well, almost done now.........bed by midnight...........

 

[Lynne G]

Why is it when I go shopping for shoes, little one gets two pair and a purse and I got nada. Sigh.

Rain for us and now saying a rainy Sunday. Oh well, was a nice enough day today.

Any time I ask about a cute boy, I get a mom! look. Sigh, to be young, yep.

Almost ready for Chinese food. Later homies.

 

[KStarfish82]

Hi all! Sorry I have been MIA. Even though I am still not back at work, I feel like I have a million things to do anyway. Chris registering for kindergarten, Lucas start speech therapy because he is a little behind on his words, and Charlie being a 3 month old. Not to mention pediatrician visits, dental check ups and now I have to have extensive dental work (another lovely side effect of multiple pregnancies).

Just booked a week in August in Orlando and am planning other weekend getaways. I’m not one to stay home if you couldn’t tell.....

Enjoy the rest of the weekend all!

 

[macraven]

Great you dropped in and updated us about the family and next trip

Hope you don’t melt in the August heat!

Have a fun vacation!

 

[Lynne G]

Three kids creates work for sure Kfish. So glad you have an August trip planned.

Why do the kids seem peppier than me? Fading fast.

 

[agavegirl1]

Hello Homies! After some serious consideration, consternation and contemplation that I am announcing my abdication from US/IOA for October 2018.

My Sports Medicine Doctor who has been working with me for over two years has met his match, ordered more tests and referred me to Neurosurgeon/Orthopic Surgeon who deals with complex spine cases with nerve involvement.

Surgery is required unless I want to live a crippled life. But no “fun rides” for at least 12 months. Not wanting to rent hotel rooms or pay the airfare to basically “sight see”, we are canceling our long planned trp to Orlando.

Do seasonal passes expire. I still have that voucher and if good for 2019 that would be great.

 

[Monykalyn]

Ugh Agavegirl- surgery? Hopefully will resolve issues , though means more invasive, and recovery time. Still- hoping it ends up worth it to get you out of pain and mobile and carefree! Have a friend who has such back problems the docs are always amazed she is active and mobile when they see her X-rays, she's been tough surgeries as well, but also dealing with chiari malformation.

Kfish- kids are never ending for sure. Bet Charlie has changed a lot. And kindergarten? Remember those days - now have a college sophomore, has sophomore and one about to complete 6th grade. Swear years are going faster! Speech therapy can do awesome things too, almost had to do OT with youngest. Fine motor skills lagging and hand strength (+being a lefty) complicated things- home exercise was enough though. I work with awesome speech therapists though, and used to do developmental follow up clinic for NICU babies- something I do miss from old job.

Empanadas came out great. Fresh margaritas, too. Garden in and we are wiped out.

ETA- ignore chipped dishes. DH gas been after me for a few years to get new ones (if I can find stuff we like lol) dishes are from wedding 25 years ago

Sending you very gentle 's from all of us homies here...

I pray that the surgery goes fine and the recovery is smooth for youse.



I would call guest services or send them an email and ask them.

Since you bought the seasonal ap and have not used it, I would believe it will still be valid in 2019.


But to be positive in case there have been any changes, contact guest services

Policy can always change so that is why I suggest you contact UO directly.



Year before last, I had a lot of the older 7 day 2 park ticket passes.
Also had some 5 day 2 park ticket passes.

They would not scan at the gate and was sent to Guest Services.
I have the ap but had my son with me and he was using one of the older passes that I bought back at least ten years ago.
I was told unused tickets never expire.

The passes coding was no longer in the system so had to do an exchange for them.

I was given a one day p2p ticket for each of the days on all those multi day passes.

So......unless policy has changed, you should be able to use your seasonal ap when you do go to the darkside.

Oh bless you agave..........I feel for you. I’m sorry you are having to postpone the trip, probably for the best, but it still hurts to postpone.

Best wishes for you......Kyle was 18 when he had back surgery ........neurosurgeon was fantastic with us and him as it was very unusual having someone so young needing that type of complicated surgery.......most stressful time ever! He did brilliantly and recovered in record time.....he had surgery end of August and started University end of September.........he was brand new after that! You wouldn’t believe how he hurt himself though.........having fun with friends.........he came off one of those Bucking Broncos........landed on fresh air with those big padded airbag things........what are the chances!!

Sorry for babbling on about our situation, but, hoping you have the same type of recovery he did........sending you so many good wishes for your surgery when you do get it...........




Beautiful Sunday here..........been out shopping early with DS......he needed some new stuff and wanted to come with us this morning, was supposed to be going with a friend but she was slightly hungover I believe........lol........so we got the joy of clothes shopping on what seems to be the busiest shopping Sunday ever!!!! We arrived as stores opened and queues were long!!! So we took our time........got him sorted though......

Then, got some steaks and salad for dinner tonight.......Tom will grill them outside again tonight.........it’s too nice to be cooking and eating inside........sun is lovely and warm!!

So, lazy day ahead.......again.........

 

[Charade67]

Just woke up to the sound of thunder and pouring rain. I want to go back to bed, but can’t today. Each week we have people volunteer to bring food to our Bible study class on Sunday mornings, and it’s our turn this week. Sometimes I will bake something, but today it will be bagels from Panera.

Charade- lovely hair on B

Thanks. I’m wondering how long the purple will last.

Charade, I bet your daughter is glad to have all her tests done.
I'm sure she did great on her last one.

The only ones left now are final exams and she really only has 2 of those. Hopefully it won’t take too long for her to get the SAT scores.

Charade, B has such lovely hair. I think that was the perfect amount of purple.

Thank you. Would you believe that dh and I both have dark brown hair?

Can’t wait till Tuesday..........legs waxing appointment along with hair and eyebrow appointment.........need to get rid of the grey roots, needs a good colour and cut.........blonde whether it be fake or not is still blonde...........but it needs a good cut.......longer hair needs to be kept tidy, so going a little shorter.........not too short as I have a very chubby face........doesn’t suit me being short. But, nice to get all my holiday stuff sorted in one day.........dh has a haircut that day too.......

Sometimes I think about getting a short haircut then chicken out becasue I’m afraid it won’t look good with my chubbby face. The shortest I’ve ever gone is shoulder length. When I was younger I kept it long like B’s hair.

Any time I ask about a cute boy, I get a mom! look. Sigh, to be young, yep.

I get those looks too and the exasperated “Mom, he’s just a friend.”

Just booked a week in August in Orlando and am planning other weekend getaways. I’m not one to stay home if you couldn’t tell.....

Hope you have a great vacation and the heat isn’t too bad.

So sorry to hear this. Sending prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery.

The rain has stopped for now. I guess I should get up and start getting ready.

Morning Sans homies




Agavegirl1 thank you for sharing your health update with us. I know it was hard for you to cancel your trip, but focusing on your health and getting better is the right thing to do. Your homies are here for you. Lots of get well wishes for you.






Praying that after surgery and rehab you will be dancing again. We will dance with you

 

[Lynne G]

Agavegirl, I hope all goes well with your surgery. Back issues are always painful. I will be praying and sending mummy dust the surgery gives you all the relief you need and are free to ride to your hear’s content. I hope you can activate your pass in 2019.

MonyK, yum. We had Chinese and wow, older one had a spicy meal, my lips were on fire. Yeah, it was not that hot. Really? He had stingy lips too. Says he likes to clear out his sinuses. Yeah, heavily medicate due to all the pollen. Cars are yellow and greenish pollen covered. Rain coming today will help with that.

Schumi, that would have been so scary when Kyle needed surgery. I am happy he is fully recovered. Shopping for us as need some bit and bobs, Mother’s Day is this weekend.

Robo, hope you have a lovely day, and are enjoying some coffee. Cool enough here, I got coffee too.

Mac, hope you have a lovely day as well, and have a coffee cup in the had this morning.

With that, errands ran, so some shopping too. Later homies.

 

[Monykalyn]

Coffee on deck this am, lovely clear blue skies, warm. Big kid not going back to college until tomorrow, middle is having a friend over to do their French project-making cream puffs, and the boy has a soccer game today. Hubs trying to put his riding lawn mower back together-taking it to a friend who welds and hoping can weld deck back together. Otherwise vacation budget to take another hit ugh. Lawn equipment not that old, and cared for but seems to all have decided to quit this year.

Grilled pineapple chicken, jasmine rice, and sugar snap peas on deck for dinner.

 

[Squirlz]

Finally back into the land of internet. It was so spotty down in the Smokys. We're in Florence KY after driving through torrential rain for the last half hour. Pizza is on the way. We had SO much fun with the friends we see once a year. I got to put the Cadillac on a dyno. It produced 470 HP and 455 ft/lbs of torque at the wheels. I won. We had beautiful weather all week. Rained late last night for the first time.

 

[Robo56]

Monyk....the empanadas look yummy......Your dinner for this evening on the deck sounds delish...pineapple chicken.

Charade...B's hair is beautiful...the color on the ends is very pretty.

Squirlz......Glad to hear you and your wife had such a good time in the Smokey's.......not so much fun driving in pouring rain storm though.

Robo, hope you have a lovely day, and are enjoying some coffee. Cool enough here, I got coffee too.

Lynne hope you had a nice day too.....I have been using my HHN mug from last year. It holds a hefty serving of coffee......its cool to see the skeleton eyes turn red and the candles light up......can't tell how much I'am looking forward to HHN can you..LOL.......It was pretty and sunny here today after 2 days of clouds and rain.

Schumi grilled steaks sound yummy. Your countdown to Orlando is getting closer......Thinking of doing Ocean Prime with the grandbabies on vacation...... looking at your pictures of the meals you and your hubby have had there has me thinking that would be a very nice meal to surprise the grandbabies with.

Pattyw.....thanks for the food picks.....the Voodoo donuts looked good.

Hey! Kneester

 

[tink1957]

Hi everybody

I tried to post yesterday but the dis wasn't letting me do it. I had a nice reply for everyone and after a busy weekend in the garden center I'm too tired to remember what I was going to say.

Agavegirl, I'm so sorry you're delaying your trip and I hope you get back to your old self soon. I've had back trouble for years and it's no fun.

Carole, Lynne, Robo, mac, monyk, Squirlz, kfish and Charade...hope you all had a great Sunday and I could go for some of that pineapple chicken please

Time to watch ftwd... catch you later.

 

[macraven]

Tink, I’m watching the show now and reading the dis during commercials

Had to catch up on last weeks show as missed the beginning of it
