Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Well, I have now seen the new Halloween movie...…..

Early meet for lunch with friends was a ruse to get me to near the cinema early.....they had tickets and seats booked for us to all see the first showing of the movie today at 11am as a late birthday gift...…..nice surprise!!!

So, the tickets I had purchased Kyle will make use of them tonight, one of his friends wants to see the movie, so he`ll take her tonight...…..won`t tell my wine club we are free after all tonight...….ssshhh!!!

Enjoyed it, a lot...…...but...….it lacked the terror of the original.....and there was something I was really disappointed with, but won`t mention in case anyone hasn't seen it yet...…..I had heard one thing and it didn't happen...…...Jamie Lee was tremendous in it though as was Judy Greer who I wasn't sure about...……

Then went for lunch...…..local Italian place which rather strangely I`m not fond of......lol.....I think they forgot I don't really eat Italian, unless it`s pizza......so that's what Tom and I had......pizza.....it was a lovely day with them though...….there were 13 people in the cinema.....no annoying people at all!!! Everyone behaved themselves...…..

So, no need for any cooking at all tonight as we have eaten and Kyle and friend will eat out too...…....just need to give him my phone as it has the barcode thing on it...…

Have a great Friday...……..

How nice!! I guess it's always hard to top the original movies, but glad it was enjoyable & frightening!

Off to pick up Mom soon! Taking her to lunch too! Always enjoyable!

Lunch dates. Both sound nice. Glad to hear you got to see the movie early, Schumi. And Patty, enjoy your lunch with your DM, nice to get out on a Friday.

Me, walk for lunch. Sun is shining nicely, but that does not mean it's warm. In the 50's now.

Hmmm, what for lunch?

The guys are back working on the deck today. I think they are supposed to start construction. I haven’t checked their progress yet. I am home doing laundry. I am washing some new bath towels. I’m going to take our old ones over to the humane society.

Schumi - So sweet of your friends to surprise you like that.

I still haven’t decided what we wil do for Halloween. Last year we only had 5 or 6 kids come by. Halloween was a lot more fun when we lived in a larger neighborhood.

 

[RAPstar]

Have a good weekend all! Bout to leave work and go see the new Halloween. One more week till HHN!

Goodness, I’m so behind on the posts!! Schumi, that sounds like a wonderful surprise from your friends & very thoughtful. I am impressed that you can watch scary movies. I cannot at all! My brother is obsessed with them & actually had one of his stories made into a movie short this year. If you happen to run across “Vegan Mary” at any film festivals this Fall/Winter, my brother wrote the screenplay.

Here was my view this morning, no pumpkins, but it sure made a nice start to this Friday. I could hear the morning announcements on the RC ship & I wanted to just hop onboard !!!

Our local Catholic Church in Cocoa Beach has a carnival/fair annual fundraiser & it’s this weekend so the Hubs & I took the girls tonight for about 3 hours. I was so nervous about the girls riding all those carnival rides but my husband the engineer didn’t seem concerned that they may be flung off of the swings 50 ft in the air with just a lap bar holding them in. He started explaining some type of physics, momentum, g forces, etc , honestly my eyes glazed over, despite my concern for the kids’ safety so I just turned my back when they went on the really crazy rides & all was well!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! We are going to a huge Halloween party tomorrow night where it’s requested that families dress up together. The theme this year is villains so the girls & Hubs are going as Dalmatians & I am Cruella DeVille.

Nice view Tgrgrl........looks lovely.......yes, it was lovely of them and I was surprised! I won’t watch some horror films, don’t like particularly gory ones like Hostel from a few years ago, or the Saw franchise, won’t watch them... but like a good old scare you witless boogey man movie....

Well done for your brother, hope it’s well received.......and enjoy that party...sounds fun!


Up early this morning for no particular reason....clocks haven’t moved yet but so dark at this time of the morning...to be around 60F today, mix of sun and clouds.......not doing much at all today.

Bacon for breakfast though.....it’s the weekend!!!

HAPPY SATURDAY ALL...…...

Happy Birthday to your Dad, Robo!!

Tgrgrl- Nice picture of the cruise ship!!

Had a great time last night at our Six Flags Frightfest!

Today is Joe's Birthday!!!

No big plans- just maybe a quiet dinner out!

 

[schumigirl]

To Robo’s daddy and Patty’s husband.......hope they both have a great day..........

82 is a good old age to celebrate.........he’ll love to see you I’ll bet.......that’ll make his day!


Had a whole load of washing out on the lines today.........did a load of ironing this morning and didn’t expect these loads to be dry, but they are, turned out a sunny day with a warm breeze......dried, ironed and put away.......such a simple chore to make me happy!!! Weird October weather though.......

Quiet night ahead........not sure what we’re doing but not going out is one of them.........

Dinner is braised diced beef.......been in the slow cooker all day........cooked in ale which I detest, but for cooking it’s perfect, some beef stock and few other ingredients...........mashed potato too......real winter warmer, although it’s a little mild now today.........

Hope everyone’s having a great Saturday..........

Happy Birthday to Robo dad and Joe!
I need to stop procrastinating and get to house cleaning. Have an appointment with local consulting firm this afternoon. Need to get resume updated, thinking of dropping one of the companies I currently work with-pay isn't as much as the others, and communication is terrible. Have given it 2 years to see if improves and it really hasn't despite my asking multiple times.

Just got breakfast in, rare Saturday where no one had to be up and somewhere early! Beautiful sunny day into the 60's here, so want to be able to spend time on deck later, maybe a fire in fire pit tonight. A hen is singing her egg song so need to get the egg before ms broody sits on it and won't let me have it (poor thing-no rooster around so she isn't becoming a mama anytime soon!)

Zoo was packed, so left when way too crazy. Nice though.

Now errands and gas for cars. Sun trying to come out.


A big Happy Birthday to Joe and Robo’s Dad. Nice you cane north to visit him for his Birthday, Robo. And low key night for the Patty household sounds good.

Have a super Saturday all!

 

[Tgrgrl]

Happy happy birthday to Joe & Robo’s dad!!!!

Happy Saturday. The day started out cool and cloudy, but it looks like the sun is coming out now.

Yesterday the guys started the framing for our deck extension. I was thinking that we were just going to do sort of a walkway between the master bedroom and the original deck, but instead the extension is going to be the same width as the original.

Dh is already talking about buying patio furniture. I suggested that we wait until we actually have a place to put it.


Dh is at a football game today, so B and I decided to go to the mall. Her dance studio has a spirit week each year the week before Halloween. Each day is a different dress up day. Monday is pyjama day, so I asked her if she wanted some new ones. We went to JC Penney and she immediately found these:

So perfect for her.

Here was my view this morning, no pumpkins, but it sure made a nice start to this Friday. I could hear the morning announcements on the RC ship & I wanted to just hop onboard !!!

Nice view! Reminds me of when I had a temp job in Ft. Lauderdale. We could see the cruise ships form the break room.

Quick trip up north for a surprise celebration for my dads birthday.

Happy birthday robo’s dad!

Today is Joe's Birthday!!!

Happy birthday Joe!

Same here on the house cleaning. Hope you are able to find some better companies to work with.

Zoo was packed, so left when way too crazy. Nice though.

You’ve given me an idea. B has a couple of days off school in early November, and I was trying to think of something we could do. We might visit the zoo. The closest one to us actually the North Carolina Zoo.

Will be lovely when it’s done Charade.......worth it!!

TV sucks tonight.........

Need to look for a movie to watch now.........

 

[Monykalyn]

Charade the deck looks to be really nice! We need to do an extension on ours too.
And the best time to get patio stuff is September, or if anything is left then NOW. Stores want to clear space for Christmas stuff. DH and I were just talking about that as riding mower quit in middle of lawn mowing today- if it’s an expensive repair then just need a new one- go offer cash at steep discount on floor model. Have actually gotten washers, patio canopy and fully decorated prelim chrostmas trees that way (well the tree was a store manager offering US a great deal if we’d take it: $25 prelit all decorations - skinny so perfect for bedroom corner)

Did get cleaning done. Then took dd out to practice parking. Goal is take for driving test Wednesday. Went to local pub and had DH and boy join us. Came home and went to check chickens and close run. Found the ladies perched on top of outdoor bar- son had closed coop doors when mowing (to keep their food and water from getting filthy with the flying grass) and failed to open back up. Had to move some very very unhappy and confused cranky ladies to their roasting bar bed! Probably no eggs for a day or two now!

Watching Hocus Pocus special. And checked wait times for HHN- wow! Glad we went in September as this would have been the only other weekend we could have gone.

Finished decorating outside. Should take a pic I guess. Can’t believe it’s almost Halloween!

Happy Saturday night all! I told Joe about all of your kind birthday wishes to him- He says THANK YOU very much!!!

Charade- deck is looking good!! You'll have a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy!!

Monyk- good luck with finding new clients!! Sitting around a fire sounds lovely!! Too cold here

Lynne- Yay on fun at the zoo!

Schumi- hope you picked a good movie to enjoy

Joe and I went out for some dinner. Stopped at the liquor store for some wine and rum! Watching Dr. Who now! Quiet but nice birthday for him!

Hope everyone had a great Saturday!

Good night all!!
