Something About Nothing ... #12

[Monykalyn]

Anyone still up or are all worn out from the festivities today?
Had a very nice Christmas dinner. K had her boss over for dinner - that are both staying with us in February when visit for Chili cookoff. Grandson thoroughly enjoyed Santa gifts and family gifts. Kids this age are so fun and he’s so stinking cute (and smart- no bias here!). FaceTimed other daughter A with DH’s Mom.
K and hubby good friends with a Jacksonville Jaguars football player and he and wife came to dinner as well. Sweet couple and lots of laughs. So root for #40 now .
loved reading on everyone’s days and plans. 2019 only a few days away now

Yup, I’m still up! It’s 11:15 on the west coast! I’m so full I may never move again! Lovely day with family and friends!
Turkey didn’t disappoint. We get a fresh one from the butcher. So good. Mashed potatoes, yam & pineapple, maple carrots, and of course stuffing & turkey! Yule log, pumpkin and blueberry pies for dessert.

A quick good morning to everyone. I’m off to do the one crazy thing I do each year - fight the crowds at the hallmark store for 50% off keepsake ornaments. I’ll be back later.

Pattyw such nice pics of you and your lovely family. It was so nice to meet you and Joe at HHN.....You are the sweetest couple. Sending get well wishes to Mr. Joe.

Thanks for the kind words, Robbie!! You are wonderful!!

A special Merry Christmas to Mac the mother of the Sans family.

Ditto to our fantastic head of the family!


Thanks so much for all the well wishes for Joe! He's very grateful and feeling much better!


Happy Wednesday all!! Hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Little one is getting up slow.

Yep, couple stores are where we are going, as little one has gift cards, and a good time to use them.

Good luck Charade, I used to go to that store too. As collected those ornaments for years. But now, not as eager, as we have many.

Yep, we were stuffed last night. Family dinner.

And I will be back, that camel is still sleeping.

And I will be back, that camel is still sleeping.

Lynne- always look forward to your camel pics!

So for those that had a feast and Christmas candy yesterday, is today diet day.....

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, a shopping Wednesday, day after Christmas. No dieting yet, MAC. There are left overs.

Morning Homies!

So for those that had a feast and Christmas candy yesterday, is today diet day.....

No dieting yet, MAC. There are left overs.

Yep- many leftovers! I think I'm waiting until Jan 2! Then, the diet and exercise begin!

 

[Charade67]

The Hallmark shopping trip was moderately successful. Several of the ornaments I wanted were already sold out. I expected that though. I found some that dh wanted.

Work was slow. Only one therapist was working today. I go back tomorrow and then am off again until next Wednesday.

No plans for New Year’s Eve. We will most likely stay home and be boring.

So for those that had a feast and Christmas candy yesterday, is today diet day.....

No dieting here. But maybe a bit more exercise? Currently waiting on dinner at Bubba Gump. Kids playing games on phone so quick check in. The Hyatt House across street is very nice!! However they messed up reservation a bit - supposed to have a 1 bedroom suite but have us in a queen studio suite- gentleman at desk said it was their mess up- will be getting our 1 bed tomorrow, adjusted the rate (yay!) and gave 20% off- oh and now we are leaving Sunday instead of Saturday lol! No hurry to get back to cold!
Also booked the dessert party tomorrow. Guess I’m gonna have to do a review on that as it’s new.

Charade- we have tubs of hallmark ornaments. Had to stop getting them. But did get a nasa one.

I’m messed up on what day it actually is - it’s Wednesday? Thank goodness for the camel!
Happy hump day indeed!

Merry belated Christmas!! We have had a wonderful few days! My mom flew in from Alabama last weekend. Hubs & I went to a Bloody Mary Brunch Saturday & another party that night. Sunday, church & Mary Poppins movie, Monday the girls performed a liturgical dance at the children’s Christmas Eve service & then we went to a friends house for dinner. Yesterday was insane.....told kids first one to wake us up was the last one to open gifts......yeah, I’m THAT mom....hehe so our day got started about 7:45 am, which was decent considering. All day unwrapping gifts, playing with gifts, eating, drinking, watching Christmas movies. Rinse & repeat for today, minus the gift unwrapping. FYI, the Legos Hogwarts castle is adorable!!! Well worth the $$$ if you are into HP &/or Legos. Tomorrow my mom flies home & my MIL flies in....”tag, you’re it!” so girls & I are going to Gaylord Palms for the ICE exhibit to kill time between airport runs. Not much planned until NYE so I will try to not let my OCD get the best of me & let everyone enjoy the beautiful mess. I can clean up after the kids go back to school, right!?!? Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Monyk
Enjoy Bubba Gumps !
Go for the shrimp..

 

[macraven]

Tgrgrl, so nice you are having a lot of mom time!
First your mom and now your other mom to spend time with you and the family

A 7:45 start Christmas Day for opening presents sounds pretty good

Much better than 6:00 which happened in my house years ago

Today I braved the Boxing Day sales! I saw a flyer from where I got younger DDs birthday gift, for $30 off! Was worth it to brave the mall to get a $30 refund! Her birthday is early January so I learned from past that you have to buy before Christmas or risk empty shelves!
Other than that a slow day. Slept in a tad. Had coffee and watched tv in my pjs, had a soak in the hot tub before it started to rain ️ again! Went to mall then had left overs for dinner. Still lots of leftovers, after sending 3 plates out last night with family and friends.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, decided to get up before the crack of dawn, to find a pretty empty parking lot. Yes! So nice, though I had Mr. Slow in front of me some of the way, boo, and a deer said hello as it bounced just far enough, I was like, thank goodness. But, happy that the $3 that I spent for fancy windshield wiping, did quickly remove the ice covering the windows. Nice and cold, below freezing to start the day.

hehe, hope all had a successful Boxing Day. I'm sure it was for cats. LOL

Well, tea is quite needed, so it's a Thirsty Thursday. hehe, no really,
and you have to have another cat:

or two:

,


Either day, drink up, and have a terrific Thursday.

Yep, MonK, this year is coming to an end.

My ticker, is 11. What? Late booking, fast countdown. Yep, that's it. And, what, little one, a Spring trip, sigh, may indeed try for it. Have to check her school calendar. Did I say, I love having my AP?

 

[pattyw]

I go back tomorrow and then am off again until next Wednesday.

Enjoy your days off!

and now we are leaving Sunday instead of Saturday lol! No hurry to get back to cold!

That's great- another vacay day!! How are the park crowds?

girls & I are going to Gaylord Palms for the ICE exhibit to kill time between airport runs.

Always wanted to see ICE! Although I do have an issue with going somewhere that 's actually COLDER than home!
Yep- clean after the girls go back to school- enjoy the family time!

Other than that a slow day. Slept in a tad. Had coffee and watched tv in my pjs, had a soak in the hot tub before it started to rain ️ again! Went to mall then had left overs for dinner. Still lots of leftovers, after sending 3 plates out last night with family and friends.

Sounds like a great day!!

hehe, hope all had a successful Boxing Day. I'm sure it was for cats. LOL

Love the cat pics! Yes- mine LOVE boxes!!

Much better than 6:00 which happened in my house years ago

I'm with you, Mac! Nice to have adult kids- they want to sleep in!

Happy Thursday all Last night Kyle & Erin arrived from Ft. Lauderdale! They're home until Jan 2! So nice to have them home!! I'm off today- only have to work tomorrow and then off until Jan 2! Sunny and mild today- high in the 40s!!

Have a great day all!!

Checking in- waiting on Macy parade to start. In dessert party area and so far it’s pretty empty. Have had 2 characters come out so far for pics. Nice night but a bit windy. Parks are packed-new years at MK packed level. She and son ran off to get on transformers before parade starts. Hoping they make it back. No way would I ever attempt the parks this time of year without EP!

Nice to have family home Patty!
Wow to short countdown Lynne!
ICE!sounds fun tgrgrl
Yay to sales Sue! We went to Lake Burma Vista outlet malls today and all of us got a bunch of stuff

Hey Mac and rest of SANS peeps!

 

[macraven]

Thanks for your on the spot reporting on the parks

Love your pics

Scooby is always a winner

 

[macraven]

Seems like a long week to me but in a few hours it will be Friday

Schumi should be back home now
I’m sure she had a great holiday with her family

So one homie will be unpacking the suitcases and another (Lynne) will be getting hers out

Monyk is back at the parks now and hope she shares pictures of the darkside parade tonight

Charade is off work til next week
She has quite a few days she can relax at home

Pattyw has done her last vacation for the year but I expect she will get the travel bug once January comes around

Hugs to all the homies !
