Something About Nothing ... #12

[Sue M]

Weather here in Orlando is supposed to be few showers this am then cloudy and hi of 60 degrees.

Even with rain and cool weather yesterday I had a nice time in parks with sister and nephew.

Going to have a look around the shops for birthday presents that will be coming up. Saw some new Potter items yesterday. Really cute character bracelets.

My friend is down there now in WDW. She was telling me about the rain. Not the weather you want on vacay. Enjoy the parks! I shudder to think how much stuff my daughter will want in Potter merchandise. She has quite the wand collection. I’m sure she wants more, lol. Last time we were there during a really hot August (I know they’re always hit but this was unusually hot for Aug) and she wanted a robe. And me to pay, ha! I told her she won’t wear it while there because of the heat and at home it will just sit in the closet! We’ll see if she buys it this trip in April, lol.

Sue, that corn mix sounds good, though if we go Mexican, we put cold corn in our home made salsa.

Was a cool start, yep 26 out. But hey, so clear a sky, I could see the stars, including Orion and Ursa Major. Moon so bright with half it showing.




And for our coffee drinking homies:

. That's my tea face. And ah, enjoying a nice cup of tea, in an almost cool office, but nice and quiet this morning.

Everyone seems to love that corn mix! And it’s so easy.
Love a clear starry night, the cold not so much. Enjoying my first morning coffee, right now. The first cup is always the best!

Good morning everyone. We are supposed to get snow again tomorrow. Right now that are saying 1-3 inches, so we may not get anything tag all.

Got a plumber coming by tomorrow to look at the toilet and see if it just needs to be repaired or replaced.

Gotta get to work now. Don't really want to deal with people today.

Oh, I hope you need a new one and get the comfort height one!

Oh my friend works in Orlando, just doesn't live in Orlando, and he was saying we would hate this.....I think some of the locals appreciate this now and again......not us tourists though!!! Hope you have a great day Robo…..and hope the rain stays away for you...….

Quite fancy a Starbucks right now......and we have none near us.....typical!!!

Yes, we tourists like it nice and sunny while on vacay!

Ok, Sue- send El Nino east!! Yay about DH cooking, too!


Happy Monday all!! The roller coaster weather continues here!! Snow tonight and then the arctic air moves in mid week. By the weekend we get to 40 degrees and expect rain!!

Have a great day all!!

Yay for Arctic air moving on! We dipped to 39 early morning. I woke up and there was frost on the rooftops! But the sun is shining, and will probably get back to 40s by mid day. Sounds like our west coast weather is moving your way!

Heat wave here, supposed to reach 40 & sun is shining. Long drive for me to annual dermatologist appt, hope to get away by the skin of my teeth haha.


No water? Used to not bathroom in the private lounges but seriously, that’s idiotic



Quite chilly for Orlando. We wore our packable down alternative jackets into the parks early January 2 years ago. It was the dampness that made it uncomfortable for us. Used to more of a dry, brisk cold



Never bothered to hit the AMEX lounge either. Just need your CC to enter or does it have to be a package booked thru them



Always good to stockpile presents so you’re not scrambling last minute.

On Wednesday am it will be Farenhite: Wednesday 7 hi, -8 low Thursday 8 hi, -2 low. I’m looking into the light, Saturday back to high of 40 & 50’s on Sunday.

I’ve been in Orlando in January when it’s been colder there than home, brrr. So hard packing for that time of year, it could be anything from sunny 70s to freezing!
For Amex lounge I think you have to buy your tickets with Amex. I didn’t know your supposed to have your Amex statement with tickets on it. I just showed them my card and told them I did use it for tix (I did) and they said ok. It was August so the water was nice and a little AC break. But we only bothered going once.
Brrr, hope you warm up soon!

 

[schumigirl]

Yep, sunshine and heat when on vacation.......not much to ask for.........Cold here too......but above freezing till we add in the chill!


Sooooo........thinking, maybe, or maybe not.....but likely......we may think about a trip out West next year......after all there is more to see in America than Florida........

Maybe some vineyards, Napa and Sonoma, San Francisco and a few other places........would love to see Mendocino...this years trips are all sorted so starting to think ahead. And we always had a hankering to see Seattle......so we are starting to look......just look for now.....so many places!!

Enjoy your Monday evening........

 

[Monykalyn]

Quick lunch pop in!
Yeah we did the Amex lounge a couple times last June for the AC. We did upgrade to our AP's with AMEX, but originally were UT tickets (not bought with Amex). Kids like the snacks. Never did make it back since, nor to the new AP lounge. Hope they do hang onto AP lounge.

Rainy cold start with temps dropping now until thursday. Wind chill warning tomorrow. Good thing I secured the plastic wrap around the chicken run yesterday-these winds we've had with 40-50 mph gust are just ripping things to shreds-took down the canvas canopy we had over the deck. We'd planned on replacing it anyway, but would have been nice to get through one more season. Replace the suet cakes for the wild birds, and have a treat cake for my hens when I won't let them out of run tomorrow (too cold).

The west coast is fabulous!! Hit Vegas for a day just to see the tacky stuff too lol. But the PNW is stunningly gorgeous-Need to get back there sometime soon too. And can never go wrong with wine country...

Sounds like many of us will be in the deep freeze brrrr

 

[Lynne G]

California wine country is lovely, Schumi. We did both Sonoma and Napa. Liked Napa more. A side trip from a work trip, years ago now.

Well, thought about doing Disney before RPR stay in October. Decided, none this year, so booked SF from 30 Sept to 3 Oct, then 3 Oct to 11 Oct RPR. Something to look forward to, and have only eaten at SF, never stayed there. Thought would be an easy transfer.

Lunch eaten, and slow afternoon. Still bright out, and still cold out.

Nice to see ya pop in, MonyK. Yeah, we had those high winds the other day. Hurt your face, as it was a cold wind. Not so windy today, and seasonable 30's in the afternoon. Phone says 32. So there ya have it.

 

[pattyw]

booked SF from 30 Sept to 3 Oct, then 3 Oct to 11 Oct RPR. Something to look forward to, and have only eaten at SF, never stayed there. Thought would be an easy transfer.

Sounds great, Lynne!! Our tentative dates are 9/27-10/5. See you there!

Getting ready for the mid-week storm headed our way! On the way home today, I'll fill up my car with gas and make a stop at the grocery store. Saves me from having to go out in -20 to -30 degree wind chills that we're going to see!! Eeek!!
Hope Orlando warms up!! Even though we'd give anything to have temps in the 50s here, that's not what I want when we head to Florida!!

Will hit Vegas at some point.....we have a very good friend who visits a lot and has told us so many things to do.....think we’d need at least a week!!! And yes we’d have to do the tacky touristy stuff too......love all that!! And yes, we’ve been saying we’ll do a month in California when Tom retires......so.........why not.....but early stages yet.....

Hope you don’t get too cold........

Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay is one of my favourite wines from that region....several good vintages, so would have to go to see that one!!!

We plan to do a few nights in Sapphire at the end of our September/October stay this year.....we did it last year and felt like two separate vacations.....we adore Sapphire too......love staying there.....less than 6 weeks and we’ll be there for two weeks!!! Can’t wait.....Mardi Gras too!!! So enjoyed it last year.....but 10 nights still felt too short.....

Think we have the same temps roughly........

Enjoy your Monday evening........

you could start in SAN Diego and work your way up the coast. Don’t forget the Oregon Coast! I loved Napa. I went once with my Dragon Boat team. We had a race in San Francisco and at the end tacked on a few days in Napa. Wine tours were great. Our last day was the ultimate Napa experience in my mind. We went to a winery that had a store attached where you could buy food, and eat it in the vineyard, they had areas with picnic tables scattered around. We took our baguette, wine, olive tapenade and cheeses to a table under a big oak, it was a beautiful clear day and we sat there enjoying our meal under a sunny sky watching the hot air balloons drift by.

Way too cold for me! And those winds, yikes!

Eek! I’ve never been so glad to live on the west coast as when I hear those crazy minus temps. Even when we go up to the mountains I don’t think I’ve experienced anything lower than -10. In town it is rarely minus anything.

...but 10 nights still felt too short.....

.....

No matter how much time, vacays always seem too short to me! We often spent close to a month in Florida in Aug, and I wonder where the time went.

 

[bobbie68]

I hope everyone had a good Monday. I am so behind on the pages so tried to catch up as best I could. It was a hectic weekend. We brought the kitty to the vet with the tooth. She does have an infection and has to have it out, plus a cleaning. Then another one had constipation issues that got worse. She was brought up on an urgent visit yesterday. She had to have procedures done to help her plus stay the night. Nice big vet bills coming my way. I was just going to book some stuff for trip but can't now. I am also going to have to drive my car again. The rental is not in the budget any more. The good side is Liv can do some of the driving.

It is cold here and going to get worse. We are suppose to have mixed precipitation on and off tomorrow. It might be warm enough for some rain.

Thank you everyone for the wishes for kitty. She will be better once it is removed. She is on antibiotics first to get it in a better place.

Thanks for the responses on the meds. It is good to know we can use the first aid.

Liv got all of her college responses and got into everything. Now we have to sit down and figure the best plan for her. She was so thrilled!!

Camping in tents is the worse for me ... I might go for one night in a camper or cabin but that is it! I like my resorts

Brian does almost everything DIY. It has saved us a lot of money. I trust him so that is good!

Keisha sorry to hear about your son's home. I hope he can get stuff covered, it is awful to start you first home like that. Congrats on getting what you wanted for your trip. I think once you secure the transportation the rest goes faster.

Lynne Love the kitty coffee face pic... I wish I read the board earlier blueberry pancakes are so nice! I hope you get the water around your laundry room straightened out. We have water come into our basement from a window. Brian dug it up and put a new window well but didn't solve it completely.

Charade Sorry to hear what happened to your BI. Liv did girl scouts for 5 years and we liked it. I was the co-leader. Our March weather can be cold and I remember so many years standing out there in it selling the cookies. I didn't mind the cookie part it was the weather. I hope your sales are good. I hope your toilet problems work out the way you want. I am glad I read about that toilet. I need little things to help as I get older.

Sue Glad the celebration of Life was nice. Japanese food is so good. I love hibachi myself. Brian loves sushi. I am sure your daughter will find lots of stuff to still buy. Mine finds so much every time. She loves to save and spend her money there. The robes are so nice but expensive. I know Liv would wear it for a bit then it would sit in the room.

Robo love your pics and thanks for sharing. I am glad you are having a good time despite the cold and rain. I have to try Sal's next time I am there. I hope the weather improves and you have a great trip with your family.

Schumi I love the pics of the country side, and I am sure the sea is equally beautiful. It must be so nice and relaxing to have that every day. A west coast trip sounds really nice. The wineries are really nice from what I hear. We would love to do that some day. I am sure you could find a couple of weeks to do things there. I understand about moving away from your son. I couldn't move from Liv. I love home made marmalade, jams and jellies. How nice that you have a farm where you can get it done already.
Patty I hope your next storm isn't too bad. The cold frigid temps make it so much worse. Just keep the imagery of that will get you through the storm.

Monykalyn Liv has to do a senior essay and speech. She has chosen animal rescue and the positive effects it has in our lives. She is hoping to spread awareness. One of her sections is going to be on pet therapy. I was interested when you said you had pet therapy people coming. I hope it is a nice presentation. LOL cuddle chicken sounds adorable I have a cat that will sell out quickly for treats too

to Mac and buckeev and all the other family MIA. I hope everyone and their pets stay warm and dry with all these storms and frigid temps coming. I hope everyone has a great night

 

[Lynne G]

Bobbie, we are in the college mode too. Little one got a yes from all the ones she applied to. Even the one that first deferred her, gave her a spot in the very competitive main campus. I think it is either going to be one in the city or three hour drive one. The 7 or so hour drive one is now not as interesting, and wisely decided most likely not going to the private city one. The cost of that one is three times more expensive than the state funded ones she is considering. I guess soon she will say yes and be done with this. DH has been reviewing her essays. Also wisely, she has been applying to as many scholarships as she can find. As she said, gosh less than 100 days left of school. Why yes it is. And the senior prom is something we will spend some hair pulling time and lots of shopping.

Monday night, and cool out. Went out for coffee, and dollar coffee ends on Sunday. Boo, but have been enjoying it quite a few times when promotion started.

It is so a Monday.

 

[Sue M]

Bobbie congrats to Liv, great news. And senior prom, fun times! Sorry about the kitties we had major vet bills for both our pups just after our Thanksgiving which is in October. Cost us a small fortune.

 

[tink1957]

Hi everybody

Sorry I've been AWOL lately. I'm not feeling very talkative but I've been reading along.

We're expecting a little snow tomorrow and you would think it was the storm of the century with all the schools closing in our area. It's not even expected to stick since we had temperatures in the 60s today.

Congrats to Liv and Lynne's little one on the college acceptance

Carole...a west coast trip sounds awesome...what a great way to enjoy Tom's retirement...happy planning

Good news is my diet is going well and I lost 10 lbs I also got my taxes done and I'm getting a small refund so things are looking up.

Hi to mac, patty, robo, bobbie, Lynne, sue, keisha and the rest of the gang.

Have a wonderful night and sweet dreams

 

[Squirlz]

So I went ahead and booked an RPR Club room from 9/14 to 9/20 for my birthday. Looks like a nice slow time to go.

[schumigirl]

Hey bobbie.....glad things going well.....apart from vets bills of course! Hope weather improves......yes I think we could spend a month out West easily........

Lynne....senior prom will be fun to shop for!!

Vicki!! Nice to see you......always good to see you post.......and congrats on the weight loss!! Can you send some willpower over here.......

squirlz........glad to hear you’re booked.......will see you there no doubt!!!

Vicki.......glad to see your dates.......see you there!!!



Frosty and cold today....not as cold as some.......Chicago is to be colder than Mount Everest today!!! That’s too cold for anyone!!

Not sure of any plans today yet........

But it’s Tuesday........have a good one.......

No matter how much time, vacays always seem too short to me! We often spent close to a month in Florida in Aug, and I wonder where the time went.

That sounds like the kind of thing we like to do.

We did that in a vineyard on Long Island couple of years ago and it was beautiful......we could have sat there all day it was stunning. But we had more vineyards to visit......lol........

Our shortest trip was for a week the first time we went at Christmas, never again..... it was far too short......love a longer trip!!

 

[Lynne G]

yep, for those cat lovers:

. So, .

Nothing like cats to remind ya, a run to Taco Bell is most likely on Mac's agenda today. Thus, all, have a taco or two to welcome Tuesday.

and yes, the rain will come. The temperatures will drop, and then the snow. Three inches of snow to fall before the clock strikes 12 midnight, or somewhere around then. Then, hello polar vortex. Sigh, barely a two digit temperature, and ooh, lets have a brisk enough wind to put the wind chill in the double digit negative numbers as the dawn for Wednesday arrives. In other words, a very icky afternoon into evening today, and then a start to two very cold days.

For all those enjoying this wonderful cold as ice winter weather, Patty, Bobbie, and any other homie I miss, stay warm, and safe. And, eat a taco. LOL

Time for tea. Another 26 to start the day, but we will see 30's before the temp drops it's any chance of just being rain. Think DH put the shovel in his truck, and my window cover is ready in the car, when the rain stops. Yep, we're ready for the snow.

Have my staying blonde appointment tonight, so am going to call and see if she can take me earlier. Then, I'll be hunkered down, and may see a movie, though have to ask older one which ones we have online, or DVD.

With that, a big Wahoo to Squirlz, great to enjoy your birthday at the dark side. Sniff, sorry I won't get to buy you a drink, not arriving until the Monday after you have left. I can raise a cup of tea for ya though.

 

[pattyw]

Nice big vet bills coming my way.

I understand- if only they were dependents we could put on our health insurance! Hope the kitties get well soon! We give our Jill (21 yrs old) a probiotic daily. She had tummy issues and it cleared them up.

Just keep the imagery of that will get you through the storm.

Yes- think of sun- think of sun I'm trying!!

Little one got a yes from all the ones she applied to

Yay!! for DD!

We're expecting a little snow tomorrow and you would think it was the storm of the century with all the schools closing in our area. It's not even expected to stick since we had temperatures in the 60s today.

Tink- we may be hearty folks and can move mountains of snow here, but the grocery stores were slammed yesterday with everyone stocking up on food!! And we are heat wimps here! If it gets hotter than 85 degrees, our towns open up cooling shelters!

Happy Tuesday all!! Prepping for our winter storm and frigid temps! Car all set with gas and supplies, food all set, preparing to work at home tomorrow- looks like the worst of it hits tonight! The wind is howling- you can feel something blowing in!! Yuk!!


Always love the cat pics, Lynne!

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. Here I sit, waiting for the plumber. They gave me a 2 hour window in which he could arrive. I hope it's sooner rather than later.
We are also waiting to see if we are going to get any snow today. The projected amounts keep dropping, so I suspect we will get rain and maybe some ice.

Joe likes to cook way more than I do!! I'm the pro at take out in my house! LOL!!

You are so lucky. I hate to cook and dh is pretty much inept at it. We eat out way too often.

Maybe our arrival evening would be a good time to try those Publix subs.

I miss Publix subs. We don't have a Publix in my area. Their fried chicken is really good too.

I shudder to think how much stuff my daughter will want in Potter merchandise. She has quite the wand collection. I’m sure she wants more, lol. Last time we were there during a really hot August (I know they’re always hit but this was unusually hot for Aug) and she wanted a robe. And me to pay, ha! I told her she won’t wear it while there because of the heat and at home it will just sit in the closet! We’ll see if she buys it this trip in April, lol.

I was amazed at how may people were walking around the parks in full robes and even scarves. I was sweating in a t-shirt and shorts. We just stuck with house shirts when we were there, though I did buy myself a Ravenclaw hoodie.

Oh, I hope you need a new one and get the comfort height one!

Is it sad that I am actually hoping we have to replace the toilet? If we end up replacing the downstairs one I will probably want to replace the upstairs one even though there is nothing wrong with it. The upstairs one is the one that gets the most use.

Sooooo........thinking, maybe, or maybe not.....but likely......we may think about a trip out West next year......after all there is more to see in America than Florida..

I recommend Alaska. It is so beautiful there. I thought we were going to have a once in a lifetime trip, but now we keep talking about when we can go back.

The west coast is fabulous!! Hit Vegas for a day just to see the tacky stuff too lol.

Vegas is dh's favorite place. He goes to a convention there every year. He want's to retire there, but I am not completely sold on the idea.

Liv got all of her college responses and got into everything. Now we have to sit down and figure the best plan for her. She was so thrilled!!

Congrats to Liv! B is still waiting on 2 more.

Charade Sorry to hear what happened to your BI. Liv did girl scouts for 5 years and we liked it. I was the co-leader. Our March weather can be cold and I remember so many years standing out there in it selling the cookies. I didn't mind the cookie part it was the weather. I hope your sales are good. I hope your toilet problems work out the way you want. I am glad I read about that toilet. I need little things to help as I get older.

B is not really selling cookies this year. She is not in a troop, so has only been selling online for the past few years. She has sold 36 boxes to a loyal online costume and has informed her that this is he final year of selling.

Monykalyn Liv has to do a senior essay and speech. She has chosen animal rescue and the positive effects it has in our lives. She is hoping to spread awareness. One of her sections is going to be on pet therapy. I was interested when you said you had pet therapy people coming. I hope it is a nice presentation. LOL cuddle chicken sounds adorable I have a cat that will sell out quickly for treats too

I have an unintentional therapy dog story. I was at work one day and my boss was in session with client#1 who had brought her dog with her. (An older, black lab mix.) Client#2 arrived and was very upset about something. She was crying and I couldn't make out most of what she was saying to me. Client#1 comes out with her dog. Client #2 sees the dog and starts petting and talking to her. Client#2 immediately calms down and stops crying. It was just amazing to watch. We have a few other clients who bring their dogs to their therapy sessions.

Bobbie, we are in the college mode too. Little one got a yes from all the ones she applied to

Congrats to her!

And the senior prom is something we will spend some hair pulling time and lots of shopping.

Ugh! I don't even want to think about prom shopping. I've learned a few things from last year though, so I know what should be done differently this year.

Good news is my diet is going well and I lost 10 lbs

Wow, congrats!

Well, now I sit and wait some more.

 

[schumigirl]

Charade, hope your plumber arrived.....I hate having to wait for workmen......always insist on a smaller window....won’t accept when they say oh sometime tomorrow.....nope, either give me a window or don’t bother.....usually works. Seems they can pin down a time when it suits them.......but hope you get sorted soon!

Never wanted to visit Alaska.....too cold for me there. Watching Ice Road Truckers is my limit for cold.......but I’m sure it’s beautiful......friends have done an Alaskan cruise and said I’d have hated it......lol.....they’re right!

Never fancied a cruise either......although Keisha makes them sound appealing!!




Got colder here too.......no snow as promised, but we are right beside the sea so can avoid it at times......but to be -4 tomorrow but will feel colder with the wind!

Been out most of the day with Tom looking for bits and bobs for various rooms around the house.....things like new lamps for bedroom, bedside cabinets for one of the spare rooms and new desk for study.......only got the desk sorted......have to wait 8 weeks though as he makes them to order and doesn’t have any ready made.

One pot dish tonight.........roasting chicken thighs with potatoes, peppers, courgettes, honey, spicy sweet balsamic vinegar and a little mustard.......lush!! Aroma from the Aga is beautiful!! Now I’m hungry.........
