Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Only the second day of having rain early in the day........usually waits till later........last Monday was the worst day of them all.........but have some nice plans for today......

Janet, last full day today.......fly out tomorrow and return in around 7 weeks........and congrats for GD......she is a little superstar.........

Yep.......have added another trip to Orlando in July ......after NYC we fly down here for 7 nights.......well as we were so close thought we might as well fly down as it’s only two and a half hours away.........

If we lived only a 2-3 hour flight away we’d be here every month ........it’s so close!! Big difference from 9 hours flight time plus the hours at the airport before hand and jet lag!!!!

Have a great Sunday...

 

[pattyw]

Happy Sunday all!! Little gloomy right now but looking like some nice weather headed our way! Have a lot of yard work to do today! Then some wash! We leave Thursday morning for Orlando!! DS is off for two days while we are there! We're staying at Sapphire Falls- looking forward to trying it! Looking forward to some park time!

Hope all those in Orlando have safe travels home!

Enjoying the day here. For some reason productive lol. Gave pooch a bath, steaks marinating (at least one kid will be popping in for dinner, made extras that will work for leftovers regardless). Even Laundry is almost done. We went to Loews and picked out a huge fire pit that has craftsman type decorative influence for jr’s new house. Not sure if i’m calling it housewarming present or birthday. If i didn’t think my pooch might jump in it, would go back & get another for us.

Morning Lynne, Mac. Kinda awake. Went back to MK for couple hours after dinner last night. Rain had stopped, and we had dinner in Disney Springs everywhere else was crazy on a Saturday night at 8 pm. Today is sleep in, do nothing day.

I was back in time from airport to watch live the carriage ride after the wedding. Kidult and I watched most of the replay in afternoon hiding out from storms, laying in the big comfy bed (so glad I got the condo for the days we are here). We thought Meghan was trying not to laugh during parts of the sermon.

Debating on getting up to turn coffee pot on...I didn't think I'd ever be hungry again after yesterday (stopped for ice cream at the Plaza on way out of MK too).

I'm still watching Fear but the time jumps are making me nuts!

Enjoy Take-it-easy Sunday.

I’m enjoying this season of FTWD! Correction, except when my fav character bit the dust. ahem to avoid spoilers, hope he/she makes lots of flash back appearances. Between the two WD franchises, other than waiting to see who negan bashed, cannot remember being so engaged or finding myself intrigued by the plot and wondering how the worm will turn. Anticipation is always sweeeet

You get me hahahahaha! A couple of APHs burning holes in our pockets, nice compliment of DVC points & RT flights under $50 are oh-so difficult to resist when you don’t have to clock in every day.

Lol cute kitty

Love SF, great vibe and the pool is among our favs. Do really wish they had FOTL perk, even if they’d bump up the night rate to RPH ballpark.

Yay for a productive Sunday- we're working on it but DS and fiancee dropped by so enjoyed our visit, but now back to work!

Good to hear! Looking forward to hitting the pool Thursday! Yes- wish they had the EP's. We're going to upgrade our AP's to Premier so we can get the after 4 EP. Looks like a good weekend to try it next week as the parks are open later for the Memorial Day weekend. I hope we like it so that we can save some $$ on future trips and stay at the other hotels without the EP.

Nice productive day Janet.......steak sounds good!!! Oh don’t resist the flights......they sound good......I so wish we had flights that didn’t cost a couple of thousand dollars....well, just under........I can dream though!!

Yep, love Sapphire Falls......everything has been just perfect.........and sorry, behind on emails will do better.....

Hope you have a fabulous trip Patty.......hotel is beautiful......I’m sure you’ll love it........


Sitting in Club Lounge at RPR right now........about to enjoy a glass of wine........rain is back on again, so may just hang here for couple of hours catching up with friends and then maybe some sushi since we’re over here anyway.......had a whole other day planned but weather changed that........still, we are having the best time.......long as we’re together right........sorry......enough of the schmalzy lovey doves stuff......... can’t help it

Have a great Sunday evening folks..........

 

[pattyw]

Thanks! Hitting up Strong Water Tavern on Thursday evening! Your pictures and reviews have made it a must-do!!

still, we are having the best time.......long as we’re together right........sorry......enough of the schmalzy lovey doves stuff......... can’t help it

You are completely right! Never enough of lovey, dovey stuff!!
Safe travels home- can't wait to read the TR!!

Just came in from doing weeding- it's been so rainy here I'm covered in mud! Shower and then dinner somewhere quick(not cooking has become a bad habit)

 

[macraven]

pattyw, think you are the next homie that leaves on vacation this week/thursday

 

[Lynne G]

Sniff, no Spring trip for us. Though in 2 weeks, college visit that requires traversing the state.

Very gray and muggy start, but some sun, though clouded over.

DH came home with pork chops, broccoli and corn on cob. Nuked the broccoli and DH cooked chops and corn on the grill. Guess we used it enough, had to make a run to get new gas tank for grill. Lucky, the place let him get new as they were closing. Little later dinner than planned. But, yum, with ice cream for dessert. And not much left over. Darn, will have to search for lunch items for tomorrow.

Sorry to hear of so much rain Schumi, but lovely to be enjoying wine inside watching the rain.

Haha, industrious Keisha. We have trash pick up tomorrow, so was filling the cans and doing laundry today, so was industrious too, I guess. Also did a Target run.

Eh, weekend has come to an end way too soon. I need to plan a 4 day holiday weekend. Yeah, that will help. LOL

May your Sunday night be quiet, relaxing and good tv.

 

[tink1957]

Hey Janet, any time you want to get industrious again you can come to my house

Mac...still watching FTWD but switching back and forth with the Billboard awards. We're under a severe thunderstorm warning and I'm surprised the DirecTV is still working...usually goes out with a few raindrops.

Lynne, no spring trip for us either...maybe a beach visit this summer I hope....but the car needs a new valve cover gasket so maybe not.

Carole, congrats on your new trip plans...may as well just move to RPR now. Have fun for the rest of your vacation.

Have a great night everyone

 

[macraven]

Tink, I’m watching the billboards show now and waiting to 9 to switch to FTDead

Ugh
I feel your pain in car repairs

 

[Monykalyn]

Lazy day. Out for breakfast at Keke's in Dr Phillips area around 1ish, then a Publix run for dinner right after (cheese and asparagus stuffed chicken with loaded baked potato). Easy dinner- just bake in oven. so glad to have full kitchen as we didn't feel like venturing out- had bad headache most of day and DD hasn't felt great with stomach issues. Pulled out the sofa bed in living room and watched worst cooks celebrity edition marathon between naps. We did perk up and walk over to onsite convenience store for a small container of ice cream a bit ago.

Sounds like everyone had nice days today.

DD check in tomorrow am. Should find out actual attraction she's at tomorrow too, I think. Then flight out for me. Ready to be home...

 

[pattyw]

pattyw, think you are the next homie that leaves on vacation this week/thursday

Yes- can't wait! It's a park trip this time!

college visit that requires traversing the state.

That's very exciting! And a little frightening as parents!

maybe a beach visit this summer I hope....but the car needs a new valve cover gasket so maybe not.

Hope you can squeak out a short trip- or staycation!! Just lounging around the house and doing local attractions is so fun(and relaxing!!)

DD check in tomorrow am. Should find out actual attraction she's at tomorrow too, I think. Then flight out for me. Ready to be home...

Good luck to DD! Very exciting! Let us know where she'll be!

 

[Lynne G]

Good luck to MonyK's working kid. I hope she finds out she got a good job on a fun attraction. Safe travel home MonyK. I'm sure the other kids, DH, and chickens are ready for you to be home as well.

Patty, exciting you will be on vacation too. Bet the time will go fast. And yeah, the scariest part is how much it will cost with 2 kids in college. I can see little one not commuting, so let the expenses start. Well. that happened when the first one was born. LOL

Mac, how was your show last night? I think older one saw it, but lately, has not been a fan as much. Glad you sent a day of lovely weather today.

With that, commute needed sunglasses! Yes, even for a day, to see that bright yellow sun on the horizon, with some high clouds, is so welcome. That awful humid Sunday, with gray and a little rain, was depressing, and icky hot. This afternoon, a beautiful 80 degrees. Hello high weather system. What took ya so long to kick out the low weather system? A new low arrives tonight, so expecting more moisture to fall as the week progresses. That's okay, after almost a week of gray, the bluer than blue sunny sky is reason to smile.

And, tea is done, breakfast of Tastykake enjoyed, yep, it's

and a cat funny:

ha ha,

- eh no Star Wars movie yet. Did see Deadpool, and some of it was just funny, some was really? Some what? that's not funny, but I think all enjoyed the movie.

- see equal offender - loving dogs and cats! LOL

 

[macraven]

I was wowed with walking dead for the first 3 seasons

I stayed with the show even when some weeks it was just ok

Also started Fear the Dead and it was slow moving
But some shows of it this year have been worth it

It seems a bit choppy to me

Now with John being shot last night, kind of makes the series blah for me

Will know in the future (June) if he lives

Then one more episode for that and I wait to mid October for WD to return

My life with the tv is not exciting
Lol

 

[tink1957]

I'm with you on fear mac...John gives the show character...I really can't relate to any of the others. If they kill him off, I'm gone.

I have the next two days off so I'm going to take today to rest and goof off...tomorrow will be for chores.

The kids and I are going to see Deadpool this afternoon...glad to hear Lynne liked it.

Have a great day everyone

 

[Lynne G]

Way to go Tink. Sorry to hear of car issue, but I think if you liked the first Deadpool, you will like this one. And yes, rest instead of work is perfect! LOL

Never thot of the upgrade option, hmm

Not sure what a valve cover gasket is but it sounds expensive, sorry

Knew i should’ve stayed up and watched the episode last night! Just home from am run, spent day @ nursing home & back into town shortly. Note to self, skip the SANS thread next week until i view it lol.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. How did I get nearly 2 days behind?

This is the last week of school for B. She is having a more difficult time with school ending this year. She has made several friends in the senior class this year and is sad to see them all leaving. She also just found out that her summer theater camp has been cancelled. She was really looking forward to that.

My work situation is getting weird. I was originally hired to work 3 hours a day, 4 days a week. About a year ago my boss asked me to extend my hours because the phones were so busy in the afternoons. Now she is finally realizing that she is paying me for sitting and doing almost nothing in the afternoons. I will probably get cut back to 3 hours a day again. I have suggested that she let me do the accounts receivable work. We’ll see what happens.

Hit multiple festival kiosks including our favorite with lemon scones. Now waiting in line for Soarin as we have time to kill before Behind the seeds tour. The CM at the desk gave DD the CM discount - the took a class together last semester! Money saved on a spontaneous tour.
Sunny and HOT. But clouds rolling in so might as well wait it out in the Land- beat the crowds escaping rain!

Money saved is always great. A couple of years ago I learned that one of my high school classmates has been working for Disney since she graduated from college. Another classmate told me I should ask her for a discount, but I really didn’t know her very well in school.

Can’t remember if i did the grandma brag on it, but wanted to shout it out that she won 1st place in her level in State completion in vault. Only her 2nd year in gymnastics, pretty sweeeet!

Congratulations to your granddaughter.

Got up at 4:30 Saturday and watched the wedding live

Well, it was different than prince Charles wedding

I remember waking up early for Charles and Diana’s wedding. I’m so clueless about the royal family now that I didn’t even know that Megan was American until a few days ago.

If we lived only a 2-3 hour flight away we’d be here every month ........it’s so close!! Big difference from 9 hours flight time plus the hours at the airport before hand and jet lag!!!!

I used to live about a 3.5 hour drive from Orlando. I really wish I hade taken advantage of it when I had the chance.

We leave Thursday morning for Orlando!! DS is off for two days while we are there! We're staying at Sapphire Falls- looking forward to trying it! Looking forward to some park time!

Shower and then dinner somewhere quick(not cooking has become a bad habit)

Have a great trip. I have gotten into the non cooking habit too. Next week is going to be bad because it’s dance recital week and B has rehearsal most nights.

Sniff, no Spring trip for us.

I need to plan a 4 day holiday weekend.

No trip for us either. I thought about planning a short trip over Memorial Day weekend, but B has to be at graduation Saturday morning to play in the band.

Lynne, no spring trip for us either...maybe a beach visit this summer I hope....but the car needs a new valve cover gasket so maybe not.

Ugh. Sorry about the car repair. I can’t remember how expensive that is, but hopefully not too bad.

Hope everyone is feeling better soon and you daughter gets an attraction she likes.


We had a nice, sunny day today and now there are thunderstorms. I think we have a least 2 more days of rain.

 

[macraven]

Well, it's now Tuesday and I'm wondering where Monday went......


I can't believe its the third week of May now.
This entire month so far has flown by for me.


Since I doubt no one will be here until the sun rises, I'll shut off the porch light.....

 

[Lynne G]

- ugh, was not late, but have a parking space that is one of the lowest I want to park in. Hey, I was just about on time right? All you earlier birds. Sigh.

You're right Mac, no late bird for me. DH came home around 10, promptly went to bed, and I followed shortly thereafter. As little one said, why is the news still spending so much time on the wedding.

Almost needed your light this morning. No beautiful sunrise to start the day, no sunglasses needed. Darn weak low weather system brought lots of clouds, and rain. Horizon was a pale yellow, with sun trying hard to break through the clouds. Clouds seem to be moving slowly to the East. Shoo clouds, I was enjoying the sun yesterday.

And yes, it's . Yep, line those taco and burritos up, and say hello to taco cat, and taco dogs.

Time for tea. It's rather muggy inside today.

Have a great one! Tuesday, that is.
