Something About Nothing ... #12

[pattyw]

Time for tea, it's cool, wet, and windy. Sigh, and it's June. Yeah, in the 70's as a high temp. Um, lizard heat, please.

Hi Lynne! Yes- lizard heat or as Joe and I call it- flesh burning heat- is welcome! Rainy and 65 here today. Tomorrow the HIGH is 60!! Looks better later in the week.

Well- I was able to wash my hair today after my keratin treatment Saturday. Yep- most of my curl is gone. Weird to have almost straight hair!

Lynne and patty ...you can borrow the heat we had yesterday except it wasn't lizard heat...more like gator heat, hot and steamy. It was supposed to be 85 but my car said 95 on the way home from work at 3...too much for heat loving me.

My Friday is on Tuesday this week...I can't wait.

My hair is always straight and fine. I used to spend a fortune in perms when poodle hair was popular in the 80s ...glad that fad came and went

Have a wonderful day homies

Right now, Tink, I'd take hot and steamy. That's usually our summer, but so far, it's been a cool Spring, and I'm ready for summer.

HeHe, some of the fashionable hair - so glad no one cares anymore. Little one is like you Tink. While she has thick hair, it's straight and fine. She always wants curls, so if I pay for such, tons of hairspray only work for a few hours. When she was young, no type of barrette stayed in. Bobby pins still don't stay put.

Move to Georgia where Tink and I live and lose the memory of snow

I think many of us remember varying perms of the 80`s and early 90`s!!!!



We have our central heating on today. It is cold. Rainy. Grey. Miserable. Misty.

So, I`m very envious of mac and Tink……..

Went round to see my friends daughter...….this is her second birthday without her mum. But, they`re doing ok.

Dinner tonight is spicy pulled pork, sweet rolls I made myself......not sure how they`ll turn out...….and salad...….although a warming curry might be better...…

I am fed up being cold. 5 weeks on Friday we hit NYC then on to Orlando...…..

Woot, a July countdown for Schumi. Yeah, I hear ya, ready for warm, er hot.

@Mikkimús what a sweet family! Congrats on all the life updates.

Arrived yesterday in the rain- didn't last long and was light sprinkle not soaking downpour. Got the golf cart, we put on ponchos and toured the Fort until cabin ready -had about an hour to kill it turned out. Then DD came by and we went to AK to meet up with college friends we haven't seen in person for 25 years (they leave today though). Was so fun to catch-up- introduced them to the Nomad lounge while kids rode Kali over and over (we'd already done dinosaurs and EE thanks to last minute FP). The kids came back to cabin after that (wet lol). The adults decided a 105 minute line wasn't bad for FoP (we'd had a few drinks remember)- 87 minutes later we flying on a banshee. It didn't feel like that much time had passed really, we were busy catching up!

Slept in, just now getting to coffee and breakfast. Need to get a couple more groceries, lunch somewhere. We've got Epcot tonight, but will probably pop into studios to see DD in her muppet costume.

And continuing our non normal EE ride photo- me and middle in front row, hubs right behind us- doing the see/hear/speak no evil .

What a lovely catch up with old friends MonyK........

Love the picture........I did enjoy that ride many moons ago!

Speaking of vacation countdowns (Yay Schumi for July!!), Joe and are flying down to Ft. Lauderdale later this month to help my son, Kyle and his fiancee, Erin, move into their apartment! Kyle and Erin can't fly down until Monday 6/25 and we were going to accompany them. Then, I thought it would be a good idea for Joe and I to fly down on the weekend so that we could do some shopping for cleaning and household supplies to save time when they get there.

Being devious as I am, I said to Joe yesterday- we can fly into Orlando instead. Doesn't matter where we shop- and then we'll drive down to Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday evening. And if we fly in to Orlando, why not stay at Universal?? He agreed without hesitation! So, we'll fly into Orlando Saturday 6/23 in the morning and spend Saturday and part of Sunday in Orlando at Universal!!

Monyk- love that EE picture!! Have fun !!

 

[macraven]

Pattyw I like your reasoning

Fly down to help the kids get the apartment ready but do a side strip and stay at uo first

 

[macraven]

Monyk, thanks for sharing the photo

Precious!

 

[Lynne G]

Completely good reasoning Patty.

Great ride picture MonyK.

And forgot to say, Miss M's pictures are beautiful, and the boy is so cute.

Mac, after looking at the cost of little one's choice so far, my 10 year plan to head south, may be more. LOL

Joe's had a very stressful time at work lately, so I'm calling it a therapeutic side trip!

Yep- same here! With 2 in college , and Kyle entering med school- our retirement and move south will have to wait, too!! But frequent trips south are on!!

 

[schumigirl]

Oh to live so close..........

Congrats on a little side trip Patty........I’d be there every month if we were only a few hours away........all those excellent air fares would be hard to resist! Oh that’s not devious........it’s just simpler.......

Hi everyone. We have a beautiful sunny day today. So nice for a change. The weather all week is supposed to be dry, sunny, and temps in the high 70s to low 80s.

I was drug kicking & screaming to brrrr Alaska via cruise ship. I left the same way, amazing experience. I mean, seriously, glaciers caving & eagles & bears ala pigeons-who knew? Don’t have that going on at home lol So much fun but so cold end of May. Next time, July into August to see the salmon run in Ketchikan.

Alaska is a place I’ve wanted to visit for almost all of my life. I was born in Anchorage, but moved when I was 2.5 years old. I am the only one in my family who doesn’t remember being there. I finally got my dream trip 2 years ago. I thought it was going to be a once in a lifetime trip, but now I really want to go back.

That looks amazing! Always want to check Alaska out but living in Buffalo I can't seem to bring myself to go to a cold climate on vacation! I know summer can be warm, though.

It ranged from cool to pleasant when we were there. I would love to see the Northern Lights, but don’t think I could stand the cold.

My hair is always straight and fine. I used to spend a fortune in perms when poodle hair was popular in the 80s ...glad that fad came and went

My sister was the queen of poodle perms in the 80s. My hair was so long and thick that it wouldn’t hold any curl. Now it curls naturally.

MonyK - Great picture. Which muppet is your daughter going to be?

Patty - enjoy your side trip to Universal.

I’m giving up. I’m trying to post from my phone but the page keeps reloading. I’ll check back in later.

Thanks!! You guys are always so supportive! It sounded crazy to go back so soon!
But we'd have to pay for a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale anyway!

It is a beautiful place! Somehow snow here is ugly- but snow there looks beautiful! The Alaskan cruises look amazing!

When we were planning our trip several people asked me if we were going to cruise. I have never been interested in cruising. We decided to fly into Fairbanks and spend a day there. Then we took the train to Denali and spend a day there. Then took the train into Anchorage and spent most of the rest of the vacation in that general area. We took a couple of day cruises for wildlife and glacier watching.

Hmm..I messed up the quote somehow.

 

[macraven]

pattyw I was gonna give you a like for that post until I saw you wrote snow is beautiful

I moved south to get away from snow forever

Only would go back north for a medical emergency

I know- I hate myself for putting snow and beautiful in the same sentence!

I guess I should say Alaska looks beautiful! I also admire pictures of Switzerland, Norway, & Iceland. But, yes, I think it's advisable to wait until I live in warmth before I visit those places. If I could return to guaranteed sunshine and warm temps, I could appreciate the beauty there- even if there was - that white stuff I won't mention- there!
