Something About Nothing ... #12

[Sue M]

I enjoyed the episode Sunday
I have watched walking dead since the first show
Some seasons ragged on but I still faithfully watched

All I will say is I feel the red letter A leans towards the sign that something is negative

Some of our readers do not like spoilers to be listed so I will leave it at that

I regularly read the site Spoil the Dead forums besides other sites

Hey you are on a countdown for a trip again!
Hope it is a marvelous vacation

I’ll have to look up that site. Hoped something would be said on Talking Dead but nope!

Quick "hi"
Busy weekend with Chili Cookoff
Taken 2 days to recover...
Missed some Birthdays too! So happy belated!

I have a list of requirements for my bags. It’s difficult to find a bag that fulfills all of them

Ditto! And it's why when I find a bag I will spend money if it requires it.

Nephew arrived and we had a nice dinner prepared for him. The fellas were watching Marvel’s the Punisher and some show that has recreation of broad sword fighting after dinner. Was not my cup of tea so went and read some of my Outlander book.

Nephew wanted the recipes for my Strawberry Daiquiris and Pineapple Pina Colada’s. So showed him how to make them. The guys finished off the pitcher of daiquiris.

They are still sleeping..

Sounds like a nice night

Was looking at the food for Mardi Gras. The Bayou Boil meal looks like a deal.....Universal is really upping their game...you get the meal, parade viewing, dessert, wine etc.....will be nice to get see how this rolls.

You better believe I locked the door last night.

Ugh! hope it was a quick fix

6/13 but they will likely have soft openings for at least 2 weeks if no longer.

Hope so! Otherwise will hit it in September

You’d probably want to order an Americano - unfiltered/pressed espresso run thru with water to fill a regular sized cup. The flavor is distinctly different from regular coffee

Also works on migraines!

This is ONE dinner!

Yum! I think I had a piece of pizza Friday night? In between running around getting stuff set up and questions answered. Somehow I became my Hubs stand in (He is one of the major cochairs for the event, and I guess everyone expected me to have answers to stuff ? I did mostly )

They must think I’m something to sleep on
Lol

Ah but you can't be mad at a sweet purring heater right??

this bit of spring from the garden center

Badly needed!! Beautiful!! So ready for spring!

Ate the girls left over pizza for breakfast this morning.

Had a twitter convo with someone I follow about how pizza for breakfast can be much better for you than a bowl of sugary cereal just a couple days ago!

It’s a light sponge layer cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit on top

Ok that fruit cake sounds delish!

For some reason, I tend to get hungry when I read through posts on here often

And Thirsty!

Here he is on a sunny day

so sweet.

See, there are mountains

WOW that is a fantastic view!

a film crew will be around filming Sirens.

How fun! My oldest loves that show

no damage to our home. Neighborhood looks good,

Thank goodness! Saw on FB that you'd lost power.

Chili Cookoff was huge and at least as much money raised as last year. And I suspect I will end up way more involved in the planning for next year as DH is the Chairperson...and my club runs 3 of the major areas...

Chest still hurts a bit from talking/talking loudly around the noise. And we ended up going out after to a couple clubs to hear bands. Glad I took today off but have to run for club meeting now!
?23 days to Spring?

Patty, Deerfield Beach is a gem isn’t it? We found a mom & Pop hotel along A1A a block up from the beach that we just love. The small staff is lovely, like family. Very well run and we get a room with full kitchen. Been going there for years since we sold moms condo. My mom is in Coral Springs so not too far a drive.

Sounds like a great place to stay! We used to stay at the Embassy Suites on the beach! Great hotel!!
My son Kyle and his fiancee Erin live in N Lauderdale right by Coral Springs! We're planning to do a Deerfield Beach stay when we visit him this year!

Great news on the chili fundraiser!! Nice of you and DH to chair these events!!

Well- another batch of snow is headed our way! Temps dropping to the teens! Spring will be here soon!! (I hope!)

 

[schumigirl]

Quick hi back MonyK.........glad the cook off went well........sounds like a fun weekend......hope the chest feels better!

Hope there’s not too much snow Patty........



Busy day ahead.......got electrician coming just before 8am, then waxing appointments and pedicure appointments this morning, then hair salon this afternoon........reallly need this mop cut and coloured. Although won’t have it as short as last time.......just a tidy up.

Won’t get back into town today for new fascinator, will have to be Wednesday now as we leave Thursday......

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

 

[Lynne G]

HeHe, Schumi is on the move, and will be on her trip before ya know it.

Patty, I hear ya. Still cool, with feel like temps in the teens this morning. Predicting snow showers on Friday. I hope that means, no snow. Highs for the week-end, seem to be around freezing. 34 and 36 the highs. 29 said the car, on a not so dark commute. Guess the clearer night dropped the temps quick. Sunglasses, and hats and gloves, needed for the mid day walk.

Yep, the day Mac needs to make a Taco Bell run. Little one may join you. She likes their fries. I do like the fries, though they remind me of a bar's crabby fries, and those, I don't particularly like.

So, all, put some of MonyK's chili in your taco, if she has any left over, and have a great Tuesday.

Good morning Sans family



Sounds like everyone has been busy.

Hope all who are ailing are feeling better.

Nephew left yesterday morning to head back to Atlanta. We had a nice visit. Sent him home with an iced food bag packed with lots of goodies.

I was the sad recipient of some fire ant bites on my right ankle about a week ago...they build mounds atop their nests and this time they barrowed in the grass near one of my plant beds and I did not see them till it was to late.
So I have about 10 bites around my ankle. I have been bitten before at least 3 to 4 bites....severe burning lasts about 1-2 hours after bite...mild burning and itching after.....this time I guess with the additional bites it’s been a bit more vexing.....these ants for some reason seem to have been a bit more venomous. Will give it a few more days of Benadryl and cortisone cream. If not better will see doc.

The perils of Florida living.

Another sunny start to the day. It was 88 degrees the other day. Last February we did not get the higher temps was mostly mid to upper 70’s....going to be in the upper 70’s today.

My friend next door to us is hosting a brunch for my birthday. I made it to 60.....my sister who lives in Orlando said she tried to find a company to put 60 pink flamingos in my yard, but she could not find someone in my town that does it like they do in Orlando....have to admit it would have been both hysterical and horrifying. Thank you anyway Sis.



Going up to Universal tomorrow for a few days to celebrate and enjoy Mardi Gras. My sister is going to come over and hang out with me. Looking forward to getting back to my happy place. Heard it’s supposed to rain in Orlando tomorrow, but that’s ok if it does.

Congratulations monyk on the great success of your chili cooking event.

Well, total change of outfit for wedding this weekend........I saw a short jacket that would go lovely with a dress I’ve had for a while, but never worn.....perfect for a wedding but didn’t have a dress jacket to go with it.......I have now.....

our farmer friend handed in a home made Apple Pie.........you don’t get any nicer than that!!!

Schumi good news you found a new jacket and fascinator for your dress. Always nice when an outfit comes together. Have a great time at the wedding.

What a sweet treat to receive from your farmer friend.

Pattyw and Lynne hope you both are ok after the big bomb cyclone......sounds like that storm produced massive winds and spawned tornadoes and flooding in some parts of the US. Pattyw hope your power came back on quickly.

I saw on the internet that there was a mud slide that closed a portion of I 24 between Nashville and Clarksville. It said that it was going to be closed for a week. That is a major a highway for folks traveling. We travel that highway when heading back to Southern Indiana. Glad that won’t be for little while.

Tink hope your getting your roof issues sorted and the wild dogs have gone away.

Mac hope the foot is healing and you are comfortable.

Keisha sending get well wishes.

to all the rest of the Sans family Charade, bobbie68, Tigerlilly, Sue M, kolby and anyone else I have missed.

 

[Lynne G]

Morning Robo. Hope you are enjoying a nice cup of coffee in your HHN mug. How nice to send nephew with some treats, and enjoy your birthday celebrations. HaHa, for the 60 lawn ornaments. Sisterly love. Yeah, if my DS would do something like that.

 

[macraven]

Hope you have the bestest day ever​

 

[tink1957]

[pattyw]

Schumi- enjoy your salon appointments today!

My friend next door to us is hosting a brunch for my birthday.

Thank you anyway Sis.

Love the flamingoes!! Have a wonderful Birthday celebration!! Enjoy Universal and Mardi Gras!! Hope those fire ant bites heal soon!

Not feeling well today so I'll be spending my day off on the couch.

Feel better soon!!


Lynne- yep 18 here now! Enjoy your walk later- at least the sun will make it feel warmer!

Mac- rest your foot and have Mr. Mac do the Taco Bell run today!

Another cup of coffee for me and will enjoy my yogurt with granola and honey!

Have a wonderful birthday Robo……...it sounds lovely already, but wishing you every happiness on your special day...….and many more..…..

 

[schumigirl]

Vicki.....feel better......sucks being poorly..... Plenty of rest and cake if there is any...….



So, spent the day being waxed, buffed and pampered...…..pleased with the hair this time, not too short....although that was my fault...…

But......my stylist has handed in her notice and is leaving next week!!! I knew she wasn't happy there, and was going to leave last November, but stayed......now she already has a new job in a different career......I wish her well, but will miss her.

Another strangely hot day again...….cool out of the sun though.....but this is glorious...….we are 18C which is 66F......very weird February weather...….it won`t last though...…

Dinner is chicken mac n cheese casserole......and other half of the apple pie...…

10 more sleeps......

Spent the night in the er with my 3 year old who fell off the couch and broke her arm in 2 places. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this kiddo. First er wanted her seen by a pediatric ortho immediately because of where one break is, so we got an ambulance ride down to the children's hospital to their er. Ortho took a few more x rays and decided we can wait a couple days to see how it's healing and let swelling go down and then discuss where to go. At the very least, she's going to be rocking a cast from finger tip to shoulder for the next 6 weeks.

Little daredevil woke up this morning and hopped on her trike and was trying to ride around the dining room table one handed, so now the ride on stuff is in garage and she's being bribed to lay on the couch and watch Paw Patrol.

Poor little thing and how awful for you too...…

Hope they don't need to consider any surgery with two breaks in one arm??? Oh my, trying to get a 3 year old to not play around...…..best wishes for her!!!

 

[buckeev]

Happy B-Daze Robo!!!

Us '59'rs gotta stick together!!!

Just did a THANG!!!
So...as if I haven't been spendin' $ like I got a money tree...
Headin' to Fort Lauderdale in the next few days to buy a "New" car for my college freshman daughter...(and our baby). I've been shopping for weeks and finally found what she wanted...2018 VW Beetle factory trimmed out just like she wants! Inspection company should be there today or in the morning to make sure it's the real deal...(only 5000 miles! 62 months of factory warranty left!)
Oh...and of course that'll mean SOMEBODY hasta drive it back to Texas....Hmmm...I wonder if there are "Theme Parks" on the path back... Doesn't the Epcot Festival Thingie start next week...???
Maybe my Bride wants to "Help me drive the Bug back home."

 

[Lynne G]

Don't all rides end in the gift shop, Buckeev? LOL I'd be routing through at least one theme park on the way back. Yep, Flower festival is the Mouse Epcot stuff.

Cool and still windy walk. Brisk, I would say. Though sunny enough, with some mighty puffy clouds.

 

[pattyw]

Sending healing wishes to your little one Tygerlilly!

Have fun driving DD's car back home, Buckeev!

Feeling tired this afternoon! Home alone this evening! Troy has late classes and Joe's working late. I think leftovers, tv, and early bed for me!

 

[macraven]

Tygerlilly gentle hugs for your little

She sounds fearless and hope she heals quickly.

Buckeev, you get the parent award for the year !

Take your bride with you and make it into an Orlando vacation driving that car back west

pattyw, rest soon and get recharged for tomorrow
Leftovers are the best meals to slop together when you are tucked out

Schumi, you’ll have a grand time at the wedding ceremony
Hope you got the new fascinate or however the head piece is spelled

Autocorrect keeps changing my spelling

Hugs to all the homies I did not get in my shout out

 

[Sue M]

Sounds like a great place to stay! We used to stay at the Embassy Suites on the beach! Great hotel!!
My son Kyle and his fiancee Erin live in N Lauderdale right by Coral Springs! We're planning to do a Deerfield Beach stay when we visit him this year!

In the evenings we sometimes walk along the ocean walkway to Embassy Suites. We stay at The Carriage House. It’s an old Florida style place. The owner does a good job of keeping the rooms updated, and we’ll run. We like having a kitchen, if nothing else than to cook breakfast.
And make sandwiches to bring to the beach. Dinners we usually eat out.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Tygerlily. Hope your little one heals quick. Yep, have a fearless little one too. Was constructing a new bookshelf for her when she was a tot, and yep, bouncing on bed, fell off and head snacks right into corner of shelf. Had to wait until after midnight in the ER, for the plastic surgeon come and stitch her face up. Then as she grew, around 7, fell off the jungle gym and broke wrist in two places, then a few years ago, fell during a soccer game, and broke that hand and thumb. With the wrist, if she had been an adult, would have been operated on. A piece of the wrist bone had gone into her hand, and we had to keep making sure bone would go back to where it came from via xrays. Luckily, it did, and by the time she broke the hand’s growth plate, was fully healed, and would not have known was broke before. Wrist was set by a sports surgeon, and hand we had to go to a pediatric one, as they were concerned about the previous wrist break. Wrist cast went from around hand up to mid upper arm. Hand one, went over the whole hand, and to the elbow. She said the hand break hurt more. And even more lucky, the only evidence of her face stitches, is a very thin, tiny line on her chin. The plastic surgeon was required as she was a girl, and it was her face.

Made pasta for dinner, with a salad, now full and relaxing.

Fun weekend coming up, going to the Flower Show, as we enjoy seeing flowers, then we have a nice lunch at the Hard Rock, and then buy a small cheesecake and cannolis from the Italian bakery, before heading home. Girls weekend, little one, me, and my Dsis. As little one says, I’m ready for the weekend. Yeah, and a cold start to March in store. Boo.
