Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Glad to hear your visit with your dad went well Robo.......always nice to see family!


Cold outside tonight........but house is cosy and warm.......but feeling incredibly tired! Don’t think I’ll see 10pm tonight.......just after 9 now.....Tom says house is so warm and that’s knocking me out.....lol.....he might be right.....but I’m blaming having to work these couple of hours a day........

Although........this week it ends!! Friday is my last day helping out.......new full time lady starts next Monday....so I’m back to being a happy full time lady of leisure again.......3 weeks working every 10 years or so isn’t too bad...... working is over rated! But, glad to help my friend out again........

Going to have a hot chocolate then bed I believe tonight.........

Busy day tomorrow with Uni stuff, getting new lady up to date on things.

Enjoy your Monday, what’s left of it..........

Happy belated birthday to Joe

Thanks!!!

When you move south you can have your rum anyway you want it.

You got it!!

Keisha hope you are doing well.

Keisha!!

Going out for Italian tonight with a group of friends! We're celebrating one of our friends' 65th Birthday! So some good food, good company and Birthday cake!!

 

[Lynne G]

Sounds like a plan, Patty. Enjoy your birthday dinner to celebrate friend’s.

Robo, Happy to hear Dad’s Birthday had family to celebrate with him.

Lucky Liv, Bobbie. I am working on my DM to sell her car to little one. She has not driven it in quite some time. Nice small car, and very low mileage, as she bought it new, and only used it some of the time.

BBQ chicken has been requested, easy for me. Cut up the chicken, fry then add the bbq. Taco or with mashed taters, kid can choose. My guess, older one a taco, and little one mashed. May add some corn with the fresh salsa I just made. Just chilling before dinner.

I am with you Schumi, toasty house when cold out, and DH always says too warm. Umm, no. Lizard here.

Good evening everyone. Cold morning today. It was 35 degrees when I left for work. I want some fall weather before winter comes. I have been hearing 2 different predictions about winter. One says it will be a mild winter and the other says we are in for a record amount of snow. I do not want a lot of snow.

Today has been a very emotional day. A little background information - Back in 1983 when I was a junior in high school, one of my classmates was abducted as she was leaving work one night. Today another classmate posted on Facebook that it was 35 years ago today that her body was found. This brought back a whole lot of memories for several of us. Then another classmate, who used to be a police officer, let us know that her killer was finally identified back in 2016 and that he had died in prison in 2016. It was sad thinking about Laurie again, but such a relief to learn her killer had been in prison for many years and is no longer around. I (and probably many of my classmates) spent that last 35 years thinking he was still out there somewhere.

I think I’m going to spend tthe rest of the evening watching mindless TV.

Hugs, Charade. What a traumatic memory to have, and know that the evil man who did that crime died behind bars should be of some comfort.

Quiet night, and another cool one. May make some tea, as cool almost feeling.

Healing thoughts to Wendy, Keisha, and all the other homies that need some get well wishes.

Glad to hear it........

Strange inconsequential and a bit dull story........and showing my age!!

Every time I hear the word Milwaukee I hear the theme tune for Laverne and Shirley........yep, after all these years....



Weather has livened up since yesterday........wild and woolly again......no rain though.....

Breakfast, then out for the morning.......

Have a great Tuesday.........

 

[Lynne G]

Tuesday it is, and you know what that means? . Yep, the day when Mac takes Taco Bell orders. Yes, remember . So, even if a cool wind blows, and wild and woolly out, eat a taco or two, it will put a smile on your face.

Hope your morning out was a good one, Schumi, and you're enjoying a lush lunch.

Buckeev, the traveling homie, glad to hear you are doing okay, and vacation arriving soon.

With that, I need tea. Lots of tea. Did not get a good night sleep, and oh so dark morning commutes are not helping. Bonus though, not as much traffic as normal (well, until the last part), but got around the bus, and turned just as the light changed.

Totally Terrific Tuesday, all.

 

[RAPstar]

The new Halloween was amazing!!!

Also I fell (kinda) on the bus yesterday and landed on my back so my backpack was the first to hit the ground. Which ended up cracking my wireless headphones. Ironically, the day before that I was at Best Buy and got approved for some credit there (I was picking up 2 games I'd been wanting) and had looked at the headphones but said no I don't need to spend more money on that when mine are perfectly fine. Go figure.

 

[pattyw]

Good morning- Happy Tuesday!!

Lynne- hope the day goes fast and you can get home for a nap! I hate nights of tossing & turning!

Schumi- a little on the wild side here, too- we have the rain as well!

Rapstar- sorry to hear about the headphones! Glad you enjoyed the Halloween movie!

I'm going with a chalupa today!

 

[tink1957]

Good morning everyone

Not much time to post lately. ..only 1 day off in the past 9 days...only 1 more to go and I have 2 days off.

Time to go...have a happy Tuesday

 

[macraven]

My favorites are the beef chalupa supreme and the nachos supreme
(But hold the sour cream)


Tuesday taco day means I don’t cook

Sour cream is about the only part of that kind of food I do like...…..and guacamole of course.....and jalapenos...….wait...…

Would love to like a lot of it, but...just doesn't agree with me...…



Very windy day here...….blowing a hoolie!!! But sunny and warm now......got washing on the line again, although keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn't blow out to sea!!!!

Just the two of us for dinner again tonight......still not sure what we`re having....may just throw together some chicken and pasta.....creamy sauce, and call that dinner...….

It`s only Tuesday??? Feels like further on in the week already...…..

Hi everyone. Bored at work right now. Looking forward to going home and seeing what progress they have made on the deck.

Having a pretty good day today. When B started doing theater I started saving the show posters and framing them for her room. However I neglected to get the poster from the first show she did in 2014. I contacted the university theater department a couple of years ago, but they didn’t have any posters left. Last week I discovered that B had saved the program from that show. I looked at the cast list and discovered that her fifth grade teacher’s son was in that show. I emailed the teacher and she had saved a poster. She made a copy for me and I stopped by the elementary school this afternoon and picked it up.

Hugs, Charade. What a traumatic memory to have, and know that the evil man who did that crime died behind bars should be of some comfort.

Thanks Lynne.

Yup....Doing ok...been super bizzie with tons of orders...(Job security...i.e. Disney/Universal money). Taking the boy to Milwaukee for a convention this weekend, home for 3 days and then off to Orlando!

Have fun in Orlando.

Every time I hear the word Milwaukee I hear the theme tune for Laverne and Shirley........yep, after all these years....

Now I have that song stuck in my head.

Also I fell (kinda) on the bus yesterday and landed on my back so my backpack was the first to hit the ground. Which ended up cracking my wireless headphones.

Sorry about the headphones. I’ve been thinking about getting some to replace my cheap earbuds.

Tonight is another of school lasts. The last fall band concert. I really hope B will continue with band in college.

 

[schumigirl]

Yes, Charade it’s one of those tunes that sticks!! I watched some of that show on YouTube earlier........not sure if it’s very good or incredibly awful! Hasn’t aged well. Hope deck work has been moved along some........



Loving the scent of the new Yankee Candles I’m burning........and realised as we leave 5 weeks tomorrow for Orlando, we’ll have to put our Christmas stuff up in around 4 weeks........we’re not back till Dec 10th so too late to start doing the house and outside areas too........it’s a little too early even for us......but will get it done.

Bought some new Gin glasses today........we do have a variety of Gins in our collection, I only like the flavoured ones like pink gin and fruity ones, Rhubarb and ginger and Sloe are lovely too......so may have a little one with lemonade (like sprite) later.........got to christen new glasses.......

 

[Tgrgrl]

I had to google “gin glasses”.....never knew there was such a thing & I lurve gin!!

 

[pattyw]

She made a copy for me and I stopped by the elementary school this afternoon and picked it up.

How nice Charade! B will have the entire set! What treasured mementos!

.got to christen new glasses

Sounds like a plan!! Enjoy

Taco Bell Tuesday!! Then we went to order new hardwood flooring for the boys bedrooms. They will come to measure the rooms next week and hopefully will get it installed soon! Kyle & Erin will be home after Christmas so need to have the bedroom painted and flooring done!

 

[macraven]

As I was starting to make dinner this evening, Mr Mac called and said he could not wait for food as he just finished a 70 mike bike ride with friends

He said he was going to Taco Bell
Told him pick up a chalupa and nachos for me

Great dinner for our Tuesday!

 

[tink1957]

Hey mac...get a taco salad for me please or one of those $5 boxes...just kidding...not on my diet.

I had sesame fish for dinner...I'm still hungry.
