Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

I put a couple of New York strip steaks on the grill
Baked a few sweet potatoes and steamed some broccoli

Glad I have a dishwasher

If I had real the thread earlier, it would have been take out Mexican food

 

[Charade67]

We are at our favorite Mexican restaurant right now. This isn’t deliberate. Dh chose the restaurant tonight.

Well dinners all around sound yummy!
Had to take DH to meet his dad as he was passing through on way to Oklahoma for their annual golf tournament. Did shopping on way home-I am responsible for my club's dinner tomorrow night. Challenge feeding 20-30 on $40 reimbursement. Found great price on pork roast-so doing pulled pork=bonus it cooks in crockpot all day so very easy for me. Coleslaw (big one from Sam's club), chips, and watermelon for dessert (also on sale-at least other farms in MO had a better watermelon season than I did!). Dinner for us tonight was blackened tilapia with mango salsa, wild rice, steamed broccoli.

Busy week ahead. Hoping I get a 4 day weekend-so far it is looking good.

Lynne was that at Volcano Bay? Never been...

 

[Lynne G]

Now enjoying pass holder night.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Great pics Lynne!

 

[Lynne G]

Two more from last night. Walk right onto ride up to a 10 minute wait for all rides. On way out, bad guy caught little one and made her dance with him. All were laughing and this is when they stopped to pose. He was a hoot!

 

[Lynne G]

CK, Happy Monday! Yeah, when school starts, my commutes becomes 10 minutes longer. Hope your day goes quick.

Up today, maybe Aquatica, with a quick late stop at SW. Not sure. Letting little one sleep.

Hi good morning I am also up early for our first day of school... Where did the summer go. It is going to be weird being by myself all day, I have so much to do just don't know where to start!! I wanted to do a back to school special dinner last night. Charlie wanted chicken sausage and potatoes and Liv wanted my homemade mac and cheese. I compromised and did the sausage with the mac and cheese. I through buffalo sauce in it this time and everyone liked it. Everyone was happy with the compromise.

Charlie is taking Liv out to dinner tonight. She loves the hibachi near our house. He worked for Brian to earn the money. He is so thoughtful to her, it is so heart warming! They dropped on me that they are back together again. I guess the month of not being together made him realize things. They both seem happy again!! He has this way of calming her down with her anxiety it is so nice!! You would never tell they were not together, they picked up where they left off I think for me and Liv dating it was all about the right person. I was okay with a younger age but I had to approve of him ... Good luck to all who are starting that stage!

I don't know what to do for Brian and I for dinner tonight!!!


Lynne - great pics, looks like you girls are having a great time I wish I was there. We love exploring the volcano it is really cool!! I didn't even know they had MIB meet and greet. I will look for it next time, DH likes them.

Monykalyn- that sounds like a delicious dinner for your club dinner tonight! Bonus you got stuff on sale and it is an easy dish! I started Liv doing just her school clothes about 4 years ago. She does it once at the end of the week so there is full load. I do the other small stuff. She still gets annoyed with doing it, but I really need to focus on getting her independent. Her Asperger's makes tasks a little longer to do. I knew I had to start a long time ago! Every teen is different. I did start teaching Charlie also. Liv's close friend Guin lives with her dad and they don't have a washer and dryer, so she did her laundry here. As long as she does it I am fine with it. Thank you and she says she felt she did good, fingers crossed. I don't know how I will be when they are gone more with college. I am trying to do it slowly I don't like getting hit with things all at once. There will be some up sides to it though!!! That fund raiser sounds awesome! I love to hear about helping our outside friends. Is there any specific ones your group helps?

Schumi Glad you had a good time and looking forward to the pics!

Tgrgrl- I remember those games, I agree way to long!! It is nice to graduate to new games and yes it is all about making them happy!! We do a lot of card games and party games. I do enjoy these much more Happy gaming! Hope the snake is gone! That is the one thing I am not looking forward to when we move down there

Charade- She knew she wanted to take it more than once. I figured as long as she does good on one of the two it would be good. In May she took her second one that I payed for. The first was through the school and they paid for it. After she got the score from the second one which was great and what she needed for the college she wasn't happy enough. I told her she can take it one more time at the end of the summer. I thought it would be good before school starts. She took the answers and questions from the last test and studied. She also had college calculus work this summer that was on this SAT. Previously she scored lower because of that. Honestly, I think twice would have been fine but I didn't want to shoot her down! I am proud that she wants to work hard and do her best! I hope B does great in November!! We are going to try and have all college applications done by December I am encouraging the speaking class

I want to say hi to Mac, Tink, Keisha , Robo, ckmiles, and anyone else I missed!! I hope everyone has a great day at work, home or any other special place

Good Monday morning all!! Where did the weekend go????

Rainy and dreary here- but warm- 80s!!

Went to the podiatrist this morning- been having a lot of foot pain. I fell a couple of weeks ago and I thought I broke a toe. Turns out I'm just an old lady. They took an x-ray and found that it's arthritis and bone spurs- Yuk!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

 

[Lynne G]

Ouch, Patty, yeah stinks to be old.LOL

Keisha, hope your foot doctor visit went well.

Bobbie, sounds like all are busy.

Mac.

 

[macraven]

50 or anything up a few years, is not old

You still are a youngster.....lol

My dad had arthritis in his hands
And I remember how he said it was a nuisance to him

Move to warm weather and arthritis will be easier to deal with pattyw

Good Monday morning homies!

 

[macraven]

Ouch, Patty, yeah stinks to be old.LOL

Keisha, hope your foot doctor visit went well.

Bobbie, sounds like all are busy.

And another youngster (Lynne)homie here!
I can remember when you did your first solo trip to celebrate your 50th bd


Good thoughts for Keisha on her doc appt today!

 

[pattyw]

Mac.

Thanks Lynne! Yep- hope I'm better for the trip next month!! Your pictures are wonderful!! Glad your having a fabulous time!!

That's right! Keisha has a bad foot, too! How are you doing with yours @keishashadow?

Mac -Thx! The thought of the word "arthritis" conjures up the image of OLD! and the smell of Ben Gay! I agree- Warmer weather is the prescription for many an ailment! I'm working on it!

Happy first day of school to Liv, Bobbie!

 

[macraven]

Yeah- the doctor said that I may need surgery at some point if it gets worse! Hopefully, I can make it until Kyle is out of school. He's going to podiatry school! But, I certainly never planned to be his first patient!
