Something About Nothing ... #12

[bobbie68]

SANS family.... I hope everyone had a good hump day... We have been having rain today and it got cool. I am not someone who likes cool temps in the summer. ...Anyway making the best of it. Charlie helped me make dinner tonight. It's kind of a casserole I made up. It has egg noodles, beans, ground turkey, cheese and a flavor liquid like teriyaki. He likes to cook and enjoys learning. Olivia could care less. She has zero interest in cooking. She is the first female in my family who can't cook at her age.. I hope she changes down the road or the microwave will be her best friend.!

We had to postpone Olivia's wisdom teeth surgery. There was a problem with her medication for her bleeding. She also has sever anxiety. They said I can wait till Christmas vacation or a little longer to do it. It will be a big undertaking.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

We had a nice day at 6 flags yesterday. I had all 4 teens but they get along really good so it's easy. They will be coming over to hang out again tonight. They don't want to go home!

Schumigirl- I hear you about the bathroom. We have a bathroom that needs a lot of work before we can list it on the market. Brian will do most of the work but we will have to get a plumber. It also means down a bathroom for a bit. In this house that could spell trouble. What a great idea though to do it while you are away

Keishashadow- Hope you feel better. I have been plagued through the years with foot problems and boy does it mess trips up. I think the suggestions on getting your own transportation around the park might be the way to go I like Double Tree hotels I stayed at the one across from Universal and a couple of others. I have always had good luck.

LynneG - The girls only 17 trip sounds awesome! What a great way to spend quality fun time together. I agree with showing positive love. I have seen it first hand what a difference it makes a kid's life. The My niece is a cute one year old.
Tink1957- I hope it was great! I love the name Dobby I have an orange one eyed cat named Alastor. Love the HP names. Hope he keeps eating and getting fat again! I love hearing stories of people helping abandoned animals. That is how I got my last one.

Tgrgrl - to hear Marshmallow is making baby steps! I believe they know when they have a good thing coming their way!

Pattyw- thank you for the kind words about Charlie. I felt a connection to this teen from the first day. I know him and Olivia are just friends for now till he figures out what he wants but I can still hope. He told Brian and I again the other night he wishes we were his parents and that we raised him. He said maybe he wouldn't be so messed up. We will just keep trying to help him and keep him happy.

Robo56 - I love your the pic of the dog... Hope you are feeling well.

Charade67- Congrats on the parts of the musical. That sounds awesome. I love when it works out and they get what they want.

Mac - Yes I do enjoy a good sneaking in once in awhile... That stinks when you get passes and then can't use them. I do enjoy the six flags parks for frequent visits to somewhere. I would like to try the one in Georgia one time on our way down. I understand they are making the Hurler a wood/steel hybrid. Yes pictures are everything. I just pulled Olivia's baby pictures out. I found her first birthday pictures it was so great reminiscing. Charlie loves taco bell the rest of us not to much! Love making the tofu ones at home. However, I would not refuse any taco bell if it meant no cooking for me. I never understood why the doctors office and the movie theaters make it like a meat locker. Hope the dentist went well for your son

Hello and good thoughts to anybody I missed and passing by

 

[macraven]

Aw that was nice Charade.

Mac, hope you are home now.

Another (over than one) hour of my life wasted sitting in the car.


Charging the phone up now as we go out to eat every Wednesday.
Real resturants and not taco bell......

Still raining and I keep wanting to yell, "someone turn the faucet off..."

Muggy outside and ac still on in the house.

 

[tink1957]

Thanks for all the happy birthday wishes everyone love you all.

I'm about to enjoy both of my birthday gifts from Trey...a Jack Daniels gift set and Season 2 of Stranger Things
I may not be responsible for whatever I post later on tonight

Have a great night homies

 

[schumigirl]

Charade I think it’s one thing I seem to manage to do very well..........clothes I have no real eye for.........but home decor and furnishings my friends seem to think I know what I’m doing...........

I’m more than happy with my home and love almost every room! 2 of the spare rooms, I wish I had done them differently, but they are pretty..........

Congrats to your husband and daughter.........hope they enjoy the production.

Bobbie, I hear you on that too........we do have plenty of bathrooms.......one more than we have people in the house.......comes in handy for overnight guests! Except when they need cleaning.........yes, doing it while we’re gone sounds good........although always worry something happens unexpectedly.........I’m a worrier. Good luck with the work.........

No rain for us mac.........another heatwave on the way apparently..........

Vicki, enjoy your night and Jack too...........

Bedtime here........

 

[Lynne G]

Tink, all I can think of when reading your birthday drink, is Billy Joel’s song, Captain Jack. Hehe. Enjoy your new video and drink. Great way to spend your night.

Mac, enjoy your dinner out. I hear ya with the Noah like rain. We are in a holding pattern of rain every day. The 7 day is a recording, hot and humid with downpours and thunderstorms every day, with humidity hovering in the 80 percentile. 84 percent today. Poor Ac used at home and in car.

Little one left with her friend, and DH working late. Asked older one what he wants for dinner, but only response I got was his talking with his online gaming friends. Hmm, maybe pasta tonight. Easy and filling. Bought fresh parmigiana, so cheesy pasta and red sauce. Yep, that kinda meal. One pot and one pan.

At least the only mail we got was for little one, more stuff from colleges she does not what to go to.

You definitely have the "fun" house with the kids!

Still raining and I keep wanting to yell, "someone turn the faucet off..."

Hope it stops or have Mr Mac start building an ark!

Have a great night! Trey definitely gets a gold star for getting such wonderful gifts!

another heatwave on the way apparently..........

Enjoy! Can you send the heat wave my way? It's been cloudy and cooler here!

Yumm!! Sounds easy and delicious!

Alone tonight- Joe's working late and Kyle is out for a farewell dinner with friends! I went out solo for Chinese. My fortune cookie message was cute- " We must have old memories and young hopes."

Off to pack- Kyle and I hit the road tomorrow evening after work.

 

[macraven]

Safe travels pattyw for tomorrow
Hope you don't encounter any rain!

 

[macraven]

Schumi, do you hire out for decorating rooms?

 

[Monykalyn]

well-I must say I am trying to be excited for last Disney trip for a while. The plotting to go back for HHN is very strong now...and maybe a meet up with @pattyw is helping...
Sheets changed/beds made/towels washed/house cleaned/chickens coop cleaned (and broody hen seems better)/laundry done/Queen City Sertoma stuff handled/checked in for flight/packed/plotting for DH birthday tomorrow done/packed/nails done...and don't have to pick kiddo up from band camp=cosmo. Oh and reminded DH to check in for flight-I got EBCI but he's flying out later as he and a bunch of his friends will be attending the Cardinals baseball game tomorrow. His 50th Bday-glad he will have fun. Taking DD car tomorrow when I land (he is flying out later due to game) so I can get cake, beer and balloon.

with one eye on bathroom products...

still needing ideas for our master bath. Please post pics as you decide on stuff!

Good afternoon everyone.
B and dh finally got their parts in The Music Man. B is just part of the ensemble, but dh will be playing the anvil salesman. It’s the part he really wanted. Rehearsals start next week, so I won’t be seeing much of my famil for a while.

So fun. We love love love local theater.

microwave will be her best friend.!

Nothing wrong with that right?

Wow-that is like-a perfect birthday gift!!

Schumi, do you hire out for decorating rooms?

Yeah-get in line-I've already got dibs LOL!!

Love my dog but-do cats have this *gas problem?? help

 

[macraven]

You got dibs.

 

[Tgrgrl]

Happy birthday Tink!!!

Schumi-finally found pink gin locally. I feel so civilized now ! And please come redesign our master bathroom. Hubs wants one of those Toto washlets & if we get one, I may never see him again......

Safe travels to pattyw & monykalyn!!

Charade67- my oldest daughter was in a children’s theatre group last year but doesn’t want to try out this year because she didn’t get an individual part in the final performance this Spring ( yes, Diva in training, channeling her inner Norma Desmond, hehehe). She still loves musical theatre so we are trying another troupe this Fall. Between that & dance lesssons & my younger daughter’s chess & gymnastics, I am going to be one busy Mama.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Another rainy night tonight.

I forgot to mention earlier thay I had to change the toner in the copier today. Woo-hoo! We are a little bit closer to getting a new copier. Geez, my life is sad.

He likes to cook and enjoys learning. Olivia could care less. She has zero interest in cooking. She is the first female in my family who can't cook at her age.. I hope she changes down the road or the microwave will be her best friend.!

I can’t say much since I hate cooking. I do enough so we don’t starve.

I’m glad that B is happy just being in the ensemble. She loves theater, but that really isn’t where her talents lie. We would love it if she would become more interested in math and science. Those are her strong subjects.

I’m missing another quote gain, but too lazy to go back and look for it. I was going to comment on home decorating and how we really need someone who has a good eye for color. We want to get rid of the orange accent wall we have in the living room, but don’t have any idea what to replace it with.

I forgot to wish Tink a happy birthday earlier. There’s still an hour left in the day so....Happy birthday!

 

[schumigirl]

Safe travels to both ladies.......hope your journey is a good one!!

Well, all I do is pick the items..........we get “the guy” to come do all the work........I used to love to paint rooms, even the larger rooms. I found it fun............but last few years since we moved into this home, it’s just easier to get decorators in. And my DH although he is incredibly clever and wonderful has no interest in DIY at all in any shape or form .........so we always get the professionals in......

I don’t think that’s cheating..........


To Mr MonyK..........sounds like a fun trip!!! I was sent something the other day from a friend made me think of you......if I can find again it I’ll post it........


Found it......it`s not very funny but it tickled me for a few seconds......lol...….I`m easily amused at times...…...





Pink gin is lovely! I actually hate regular gin.......never could drink it, never will drink it........but the flavoured ones they have now are gorgeous and don’t have that awful perfume scent from them.......I’m not a gin and tonic gal at all........but pink gin we buy is full of strawberries and just so fruity..........I make a keen gin fizz!!!!

Patty, may keep the heat a while longer......we’re not used to this!



Up early again..........just looked at my calendar.......6 weeks today till we fly!

My mother is convinced one of these days we’re going to tell her we’re just staying full time........lol........told her no, couldn’t leave my boy!!!

Thursday today..........grocery shopping and not much else.........

Too early for breakfast, it’s 5.45! Maybe some tea...........

 

[schumigirl]

 

[Lynne G]

Almost noon for ya Schumi. Hope your breakfast was good. HeHe, the Chicken game. YAY, for 6 weeks. Six is a good number. It's 60 days for me.

Light rain and overcast early morning. Flood watch today. Weather lady said, steamy is the right word, and expect a thunderstorm or downpour the later half of the day. We're in a holding pattern, and no sun to be seen for at least 5 more days. Then we get maybe 2 days of sun, but not consecutive. Sigh. I need blue skies, sun shining brightly. Oh well, at least it's warm, and the summer.

But, ladies and gents, make sure you drink today, with this humidity, parch staying is not good.

Agavegirl, hoping you are feeling better today, and the pain is significantly less. Sending more well wishes and good thoughts your way.

Robo, hope you are enjoying a cup of coffee, and also getting stronger and not in pain.

Tink, hope you had a good night, and enjoyed your drink and show.

With that,

- right, it's Thursday. So, . Oh, and maybe this is Mac's choice:

.

Have a good one all! Need to find the Mouse, fast passes needed. Harry doesn't care. Hotel's got me covered.

 

[Lynne G]

Well, fast passes done. Could not get any of the top rides, for any of the days. Oh well. I will try later to see if something frees up. Otherwise, done. That was almost painful. LOL

 

[macraven]

I agree Lynne
Fp set up is like a full time job

The rides that are your priority to do can take a lot of thinking

I failed to get times I needed so had to refigure plans

I hope you can make changes later to get the rides you wanted

 

[Charade67]

Rain, rain go away.....
Just popping in for a moment. I’m supposed to be working. I’m still working on the great transcription project. I’m learning a lot about dissociative identity disorder.

Schumi - I completely agree about letting professionals do the work. We painted B’s room ourselves years ago and vowed that we would never do that again.

Lynne - It’s sunny and hot in Vegas this week. Road trip?

Okay. Back to work.

 

[macraven]

Rain, rain go away......

And with charade having her wish come true, I have all of her rain now



When I said years ago all us homies share, I should have added we will not share rain

Heavy rain and thunder again for me

 

[Lynne G]

No road trip yet, Charade. Though hoping all hot and sunny in Florida at the last 2 weeks this month. Phone says 80 percent chance of drenching rain from 3pm to 8pm. Ugh, home commute may be wet.

Yep, we like to share, Mac.
