Something About Nothing ... #12

[Tygerlilly]

Skipped out on work this morning. Not sleeping for 3 nights and only getting 2 hours last night really wore me out. Text my boss this morning if I could have the day off so I didn't need to call in and he said yes and to get some sleep. Feeling super fortunate for that. And then I slept another 7 hours! Feeling so much better now!

Congrats to your GD Keisha! I had 2 nieces who did gymnastics for a long time. I miss going to their meets.

Hope everyone is having a good start of the weekend!

Snow so bad no directv today. Too lazy to drag step ladder out to deck to scrape the ice off the dish lol. Was semi productive, got a few tax returns done.

Sorry to hear about the bad weather! We have Directv and Joe sprays Rainx on it to keep the snow and ice off. Usually works pretty good! Yay on GD!! You can be a proud Grandma on vacay!! Congrats on completing tax returns! I can't even get started on mine or the family's until I get work financials done!!

Hubs tried to play a joke on me this am

TRIED to, You're one step ahead of him!

Not just new chick smell (oh I love chickie cuddles too!) but may end up with a 4 year old Golden retriever as well so doggie smell too lol. The owner (who's also a good friend) of the pet sitting business I use has had a clients dog for 4 months now-he's not going to be able to take her back as his health isn't good and he's still trying to take care of his Alzheimer dementia mom. I told friend we can do an "open" adoption if needed and send him updates. I can't imagine how hard it must be, but he is trying to do the right thing for the animal.

How nice of you to adopt your friend's dog! With him and the chicks, your house will be full- of lots of love!

3 inches of snow this morning, and cold day. While could change, saying 6 plus inches of snow Sunday evening into Monday morning. Fully expect no school on Monday, and I will telework. No way am I driving in the snow in the early morning. Oh, and another couple of inches tomorrow morning. Good thing we are seeing new Lego movie at lunchtime.

Yikes!! We have only flurries! Supposed to get 3-5 inches by Monday morning, but the worst is supposed to stay south of us in the ski areas and N. PA. Good idea to telecommute!! Stay safe, Lynne!

Workmen were here all day yesterday but what a difference the new furnace makes.

Yay on the new furnace! Now you'll stay toasty warm- for a long time!!!

Woke up early and first place I come to is here
Wanna check up with all my homies here

Morning, Mac!

Sun is shining this morning in Orlando. Supposed to be 86 today. Sending some warm Florida sun to all who need it

I need it!! Glad you're having a great time!!

My sister and I went to Hash House a go go for lunch Thursday afternoon

Love that place! The portions are HUGE!!!!

Had some sad news yesterday. I found out that my favorite Walmart cashier had a fatal heart attack yesterday.

So sorry about that- sounds like he brought joy to many people! That's a special gift!

Feeling so much better now!

Glad to hear!!

Happy Saturday all!! Flurries here- snow expected all weekend! Lots of work to do!! I have accounting work to do as well as housework! So a hibernation due to the nasty weather is very necessary!

Hope Schumi had a fantastic time at the wedding!

Have a great day all!!

Not sure I really liked the new Lego movie. Kinda odd. But kids liked it well enough. No Taco Bell, apparently, where we went had a lot more snow. Ended up at the Chick place instead. Fries were hot.

Now doing errands, and pit stop home to put our Target run away, and little one wanted to change her jacket. Damp feeling out, but at least above freezing this afternoon.

Glad you could have a day off, and a good sleep Tygerliliy.

Patty, glad you could get out and not getting as much snow.

Charade, hope hair trial looks like she wants. I have no idea what little one wants. Dress did come in, and she likes it, and it fits her perfect, but she feels like she should look some more. My thoughts of ballroom are met with a no way. Fine. The dress she did get is pretty column with flair at bottom. Will see if my ex Dsis in law can put a slit in, and hem. Even with sky high heels, too long dress.

 

[macraven]

Charade, I bet you will do a wonderful hairdo style for your daughter
I remember the pic you showed of her hair when you started posting in this thread
Her hair is beautiful when it hung down in the pic you shared

She will be thrilled with however you fix her hair for the prom !
You are a great mom

Pattyw, you always beat me to posting your nice comments to others
I almost come back and say ditto to what pattyw said....
A few times I am writing out something but I notice you have already said what I was going to say

Do you read my mind?
Lol

I pull up areas where our homies live and check how their weather is going

I think you win the price for the worse winter so far

I used to be the biggest whiner here
about lousy winter
Since I moved to Georgia, I try not to say too much about our weather as it is nothing like others have except for Vicki

Keisha, I looked at your gd pic again and still amazed of her perfect form
So have your kids video her part of the competitions so you can watch it while on vacation

Waiting for Lynne to give us her take on the movie she was going to today
She always takes time on the weekend to do fun things with her kids

I’m always impressed how you can work all day then come home and fix dinner that everyone will eat

When I had teens, I was a short order cook if they did not want what i fixed for dinner

Schumi should be home soon and know her and Tom will have had a great weekend
Hope she shows pictures which include her outfit and new hat

She leaves this month for her second home in Orlando
Sweet!

Monyk is a absolute doll for taking in the dog she talked about
If I was an animal and homeless, I would love for her to adopt me

Tygerlilly, I dearly hope your daughter is pain free and the broken bone will heal quickly
The scariest thing for me raising my boys were accidents
I was a mess when they were old enough to take out on their bikes for the day with their friends
I always fretted they would fall off the bike and get hurt
No cell phones when they were at
preteen age

Not sure who I missed mentioning here but will get to it next time

Hope all are having a good weekend!

 

[macraven]

Now that I posted, I see Lynne snuck in and I missed it

Oops ...

 

[pattyw]

Do you read my mind?
Lol

Mac- me at my kitchen table!

I think you win the price for the worse winter so far

Actually, I think I'm the loser!!

@pattyw

House full of teens-middle has bunch of friends over, they are giggling like mad playing apples to apples. Did a pizza and snack run so they are a happy bunch now. DH fled to the lake a day early to avoid snowmageddon and having to drive in it tomorrow. Will actually give him some additional network time as he decided to stay at same hotel where convention is held instead of his moms. Chickies all tucked in, plastic on run restapled, food/water replenished and meal worm cake hung so they have something to do (besides dig holes in straw and bury their food and water.).

I rode a float every evening in the Mardi Gras parade and had the best time throwing beads to crowds of the happiest, dancing people I have ever scene.

I rode the Swamp float Wednesday with great-nephew, the Gator float on Thursday with nephew and great-nephew and met two sisters that were celebrating one of their birthdays on the Swamp float yesterday evening. We had the best time dancing and throwing beads.

This has been a great trip to remember for sure to Universal.

You are kinda living my dream retirement life Glad that you had such a great time!

I found out that my favorite Walmart cashier had a fatal heart attack yesterday. This cashier was a really sweet older man (a retired engineer) who was always smiling and singing. If I saw him working I would get in his line even if it was longer than the others. He was loved by many. When I saw the post on Facebook yesterday it already had over 500 comments.

Wow he really had an impact, and goes to show how every single person can make a huge difference every day. Hope it is a comfort to his family to show how much he will be missed.

stocking up for the upcoming snow it will truly be a zoo.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Have discovered that light spritz of dry shampoo does wonders when styling/holding fine hair. I love the look of fishtail braids, for the life of me cannot master one

Ah yes dry shampoo-with two daughters I've learned to hide MY stash of dry shampoo or else it is gone when I need it. And a friend who shows horses showed me a long time ago the different kinds of braids-she was an expert from braiding manes!

Text my boss this morning if I could have the day off so I didn't need to call in and he said yes and to get some sleep.

Now that is an awesome boss! Sounds like you really needed the sleep too! I slept til after 9 this am and was shocked to see time when I woke up.

The dress she did get is pretty column with flair at bottom

OOOh bets that is pretty!!

Pattyw, you always beat me to posting your nice comments to others

She is as nice IRL as here! Hoping our paths cross again!
We need a SANS family meetup!!

If I was an animal and homeless, I would love for her to adopt me

Ok now you are making me blush!
I am a firm believer that our animals find us-she seems to be a good fit, but we will see for sure when the visits start. DH really wants a puppy, but um no, not with baby chicks. Compromise may be older dog now, baby chicks now, and puppy over the summer when he is home to spend more time around animals, and babies will be big enough to fend for themselves better. I am ok with 2 dogs. We have the space and yard for them.

@Charade67 -have you seen Thor:Ragnarok yet? Good and funny too. Captain Marvel is a week away then another month? to Avengers:Endgame.

DH was trying to see when his UOAP expired...I told him the date but he wouldn't say why he wanted to know. He already knows I am renewing mine and middle DD's...hmmm wonder if he is thinking another holiday trip??? That man can BS everyone else but he could never fool me...so he usually tries to avoid any mention of anything he is planning. He did manage to totally surprise me with Lion King tickets for Christmas though, only 5 more days to that!

@Sue M bet you are ready for spring too!

 

[Charade67]

Here is first practice attempt at prom hair.

I just need to figure out a way to smooth out the hair towards the top of her head.

Tygerlilly - Nice to have such an understanding boss. Glad you were able to get some sleep.

Patty - Hibernation is great, but not when you have to do work. I would almost welcome a snow day if it meant I could stay inside an be lazy all day.

Lynne - I haven’t decided if I want to see the new Lego movie or not. I may just wait until it comes to the second run theater. I saw the original and the Lego Batman movies. The Batman one was my favorite.
I’m still waiting on B’s dress. I’m going to call the shop on Monday. B is like me and won’t wear high heels, so the dress will definitely need to be shortened.

Mac - Thank you. My biggest issue with B’s hair is that there is so much of it. She is going to practice doing her make up. I’m totally useless with makeup.

Well, dh has gone out to some student thing and there is nothing worth watching on TV. I suppose I could go clean the bathroom, but that may wait until tomorrow.

 

[Charade67]

MonyK was posting while i was posting. Yes, I have seen Ragnarok. I was annoyed that they cut off Thor’s hair. We will be watching it again probably later this week because B hasn’t see it yet. We watched Dr. Strange today. Tomorrow will be Guardians 2 and possibly Spider-man (B’s favorite superhero).

 

[Lynne G]

Dumplings are us. Full from dinner.

Oh, I actually liked the new Spidy Into the Universe a lot more than I thought I would. I am looking forward to Marvel next weekend. I like a fun and action packed movie.

Just chilling. My Dsis is not a morning person. I told her either the 7:55 am train or 8:16 am train tomorrow morning. She said she would try for earlier, but probably will miss it. Eh, I will be at the station by 7:45. I know to stop at the coffee shop before we meet up. My Dsis NEEDS her coffee with such an early start.

Now to see what is on the boob tube. Cute preview of the Flower Show was interesting. Now, eh, may ask older one what movies we have.

Have a good night all.

 

[Monykalyn]

possibly Spider-man (B’s favorite superhero).

Oh did you see Into the Spideyverse? I am not a huge Spiderman fan but this was a really good movie.

B has gorgeous hair! My DD has such long fine hair I sent her to my hairstylist for prom hair LOL. I like what she did. No way could I have done what she wanted with an updo.

In process of posting ans see Lynne saw Spideyverse too!
Decided to continue binge watching Psych...

 

[Charade67]

I haven’t seen Spideyverse, but dh and B saw it together.

That hairstyle is very pretty. I’m useless at any kind of updo. I can’t even do a decent ballet bun. I was very grateful when B learned to do her own buns.

 

[pattyw]

Chickies all tucked in

Aww!!

She is as nice IRL as here! Hoping our paths cross again!

Thanks!! And I'll add that Monyk and her DH are SUPER nice and fun IRL!!

We need a SANS family meetup!!

I agree!! Would be so fun!!

Here is first practice attempt at prom hair.

B has beautiful hair!

Patty - Hibernation is great, but not when you have to do work.

I confess- I didn't do ANY work today! We just really DID hibernate in front of the tv! But.... it was nice!

Dumplings are us. Full from dinner.

Yum! Sounds good! Have fun with DD tomorrow!

Did a healthy dinner- salad with leftover chicken along with riced cauliflower! We've been catching up on programs that we've been DVRing! Marathon sessions of Mysteries at the Museum! Love that program! Now time for a little hockey! and some wine!

Cheers to all for a relaxing Saturday night!!

 

[Lynne G]

Well, a Tastykake.

 

[buckeev]

Dat Charade...She's be an ART-TEEST!

Still tryin' to put the "Last-Minute Details together for a "quick" Orlando drive thru...Tues-Fri-ish...

Car folks are a pain!

 

[Tygerlilly]

Marathon sessions of Mysteries at the Museum! Love that program! Now time for a little hockey! and some wine!

Ah! I love all 3 of those things. Lol. DF loves Mysterjes, so we watch it a lot. And we are both HUGE hockey fans. I miss going to live games since we moved to Oklahoma and don't have any of the nhl teams near us. We do go to the minor league games occasionally though.

I got off the dis early last night and now playing
Catchup

I see you and your bride are so close to that road trip

Wow ! What a great (and tiring) drive that will be
But you will be with your better half and picking up
The car and hitting the parks

This will be one of your most romantic trips with your bride

Safe travels and hope no rain for you

 

[macraven]

Tygerlilly how long have you been in the land of the okies?

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, told little one to set an alarm, since I did not bother to change my radio one. Woke up at 5 am. No need for alarm. Freshened up, so time to read the DiS. If I don’t hear her alarm by 7:15, the mom get up yelling will sound. She is also not an early bird, but school days, she has to be.

I think it was around midnight that I told all to have lights out. I think they did? Mine were.

So, hope Schumi’s wedding weekend was lovely.

Charade, hope you got a good night sleep, and get rain with no snow tonight. So far, we are getting snow. Lots of it. Though the rain line is coming closer, so will check the weather news soon, to see if any updates since last night. Icky Monday morning coming.

Patty, goes for you, too. Hope no or not as much as predicted.

Tygerlily, we are big hockey fans too. Used to have season tickets, until they redid the stadium, and more than doubled the season ticket prices. Now, we just go to a game or two, when I can get discount tickets from work. They are still what I think, expensive. Kids got tickets for next Monday’s game. They are stoked.

Buckeev, just do it! Make it happen. For retrieving the car, you deserve a lots of fun detour with the bride.

MonyK, lots of new pets to come. I, for one, like a busy, full house of kids and pets. I am sure all will be happy to see new chicks and a cute pup.

Mac, hope you are feeling well. And, the cats let you sleep.

With that,





Why yes it is. Have a slow moving, wonderful Sunday, homies.
