Something About Nothing ... #12

[agavegirl1]

Just a quick "Drive By" to say Hello. I will be on my spring vacation (tax season has a slow part and my clients are trained to know I need a winter break) starting Friday. We do the Caribbean or road trips mostly. I will pay more attention starting this weekend and try to catch up. I am so happy to be good to go for theme parks for my October trip and somewhat amazed at the new offerings I have yet to plan for.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne......feel better.....sounds nasty! Yep, sleep and pain relief are the best medicines.

Sue, yep, love pancake day........it’s a big thing here......we had simple pancakes with golden syrup.......didn’t get around to them for breakfast.......

mac.......all welcome for breakfast!!! House is full of bacon and breakfast items.........guests aren’t just overnight they’re here for almost three weeks.......this is one of my closest friends son and family.....visiting from overseas and rather than a hotel they’re staying here......my friend is overjoyed as she lives 15 minutes away in next village, nearest hotel is much further.....she just doesn’t have the room for them to stay with her. Gives them a bit of space too.......

MonyK......don’t blame the chicks.....I’d be hiding too in that cold! Hope you had a nice day at home too.......yep, now 2 more sleeps till we leave for the overnight at airport.........

Charade, never heard of pancake day??? It’s not really associated with any religious thing over here any more for most people.......just a fun day to eat pancakes......get your kids cooking pancakes with all sorts of flavours and toppings........it was the first thing Kyle ever learned to make that was “cooked”

Agavegirl.........lovely to see you post again........enjoy your break, sounds like you’re ready for it........and bet you are so excited for October with rides!!!!



So, visitors were awake during the night.......bless them.......they have plenty of time to recover......7.30 and they’ve already had breakfast....they love British bacon, and off out for the day. I’m so glad they’re staying here while we’re away........they are lovely.

Today is more grocery shopping and alarm guys are coming........will be here today and tomorrow fitting the new system. But, want to stock up on everything Kyle and our guests will need....I know they’ll shop while we’re gone, but want to get as much as I can for them.

Then will get cases down and begin to pack I think........maybe.

Didn’t plan to have bacon this morning, but the aroma of it cooking earlier is far too tempting! Bacon it is.......

Have a great Wednesday..........

Apparently I have been living in a cave all of my life. I know Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, but I have never heard it called Shrove Tuesday. I also know that you are supposed to feast on Fat Tuesday, but didn’t know that pancakes played such a significant role. I have managed to live my life being rather ignorant of Lent and the pre-Lent days. I wonder what else I am completely clueless about.

 

[Lynne G]

15, yes 15 temp commute. Ah, the sun is finally rising. A very clear, but cold overnight. And for some reason, a very quick ride. Definitely not complaining.

Thanks for all the wishes. A good night sleep is what I needed. Feeling better, thankfully. I don't get headaches that often, and hate to use drugs, but I find a pain killer one I have works well with sleep. Kids ended up making chicken cheese steaks. Fine with me. I did end up eating some. And, they also fried up some peppers, for me and the men, and for the men, onions. Little one had a salad instead. She's not a fan of fried peppers and very not one of fried onions.

See, the camel today, is reminding all that Wednesday is here. Hump day, indeed. And a cold one. Quiet on the snow meter, as another clear blue sky, though will be sun and clouds by later today. Seems the snow just does not want to stay away. Chance of snow showers to end the week. But before that happens, 35 mph winds to make that 27 degree day, today, feel even colder.

Ah, a golden sunrise seen from my office. Smile. Tea in hand, and inside, thank you.

have a blessed one, to those homies that get the forehead ash wipe today.

Never heard of pancakes for Shrove Tuesday either. Oh well. I do like pancakes though.

I don't think we have Rattlesnake fries at our Taco Bells either. Little one is quite enjoying our nacho fries that came back to the menu at the Taco Bells we go to.

With that, so happy to hear Agavegirl posted. Wahoo for a trip before all hits the tax fan. Hope whatever you do, you have fun, and enjoy, and so happy to hear your October trip this year, is a go.

Later homies. Good Morning! And oooh, Schumi is almost ready to fly over the pond, for some Mardi Gras time with the minions. WOOT!

 

[schumigirl]

I have managed to live my life being rather ignorant of Lent and the pre-Lent days. I wonder what else I am completely clueless about.

I deliberately and very intentionally avoid all that Lent stuff...….Shrove Tuesday always has been and always will be Pancake day to us...…. Gotta love pancakes...….

Yes, Lynne....just around the corner now...….



We have sunshine and cool temps today...….heard from a friend in Orlando last night it is indeed warming up for us by the weekend ........we had decided not to take swimming costumes, but looking at the temps I think we might...….just in case...…

House is sparkling.....why just before we go away do I always feel the need to clean things even if I`ve just done it the day before!!! Although our visitors are spotless and don't like untidiness either, so I have no worries about them while we`re away......

Almost lunch time here...….turkey, brie and cranberry grilled sandwiches I think...….

 

[Charade67]

Never heard of pancakes for Shrove Tuesday either. Oh well. I do like pancakes though.

I looked it up an it seems that the pancake tradition is not nearly as big here as it is in some other countries.

Glad you are feeling better Lynne.

 

[macraven]

Good morning all and so nice agavegirl checked in with us

She is all healed up from her back surgery and soon to be off on her fantastic trip!

Safe travels agavegirl

Good Lynne is improving and I bet she is at work today
She works sick or not and don’t understand how she can do that

Schumi it is suitcase time again!
Hooray
Your Orlando weather will warm
up for you before you arrive there

Charade the sbc in Chicago do shrovel pancakes
Guess different areas don’t empathize it
My past church always found ways to do food up big on any occasion
Lol

Out temps today will be cold again but no more rain predicted for the next few days
I consider 45 is cold ....

Our lawn service dude is coming out this week
Last year his first cut of the year was early February and last now was first of November

We need a Buckeev sighting

 

[pattyw]

Bobbie- So sorry to hear about the migraine- glad to see you're getting better!

I’d write more but cats are screaming for food

Those "starving" cats! Mine will scream right after we feed them if we're in the kitchen cooking!

Pattyw, looks like you still have winter and it’s going to be a long time before your thaw

Chickies came out a bit today, not happy about snow,

I'm with the chicks!

Today was an annoying day of correcting another person’s mistakes

That's very frustrating! Hope today is a better day!

I am so happy to be good to go for theme parks for my October trip

So happy for you!

Feeling better, thankfully.

Great news!

Almost lunch time here...….turkey, brie and cranberry grilled sandwiches I think...….

Scrumptious!! Soon you'll be in Orlando!

Bright sunshine! ...... and 10!!! The long range forecast is looking better! Next week I'm seeing 40s and 50s!!

Another busy day here!! The days are flying by!! 10 days until Orlando!!! My mom is coming with us! She's so excited!!

Have a good day all!!

 

[schumigirl]

Schumi it is suitcase time again!
Hooray
Your Orlando weather will warm
up for you before you arrive there


Last year his first cut of the year was early February and last now was first of November

We need a Buckeev sighting

Our gardener guy mowed all our grass over a week ago.....earliest we`ve ever had that done!!!

Has buckeev left for his trip???

Yep, suitcases are now down......now need to think about clothes......my friend asked me earlier what I was wearing on the plane????? Haven`t even given it a thought!!

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family

Robo, we did the same with beads last year.....we handed out loads to little ones around us.......they loved getting them........

It is a wonder that cheap beads can be such a fun item for those who throw them and those who catch them. Universal has really come up with a fun family freindly event with Mardi Gras. The little ones enjoy the beads as much as the adults do. So sweet of you to share your beads with the littles.

Aww, Robo, some cooler weather. Hey, better than the 27, with wind chills in the teens tomorrow. We do have a gloriously bright sun, with blue skies. Still too cold for me. 25 out now. I think little one has decided on the University she wants to go to. Her major will be biology, with the school's pre-med curriculum. Hope you are enjoying a nice mug of coffee, with that cool start to your day.

I woke this morning to the heat on. It was 48. High today will be 63. Will start warming up again tomorrow. Glad to hear your daughter has picked her major. What an awesome field to pick. We need more female doctors for sure.

Good early afternoon. Making up some shrimp Alfredo for lunch today. Been starving and exhausted the last week, I'm guessing due to the stress of the whole broken arm ordeal. Hoping to get our routine and such back in order this week.

Hoping you do get your routine back this week Tygerlilly and you and you littles are getting some rest.

I wonder if they have issues with ladies ‘working it’ to get beads eek hope not in family friendly park

No untoward behavior for the beads at Universal Mardi Gras.......although the adults were really jumping for the beads....I could see it turning into a WWF event as I saw a few people wrestle for the same strand of beads a time or two.

I am the epic snorer in my house

I have been told I snore, but there has been no audio proof thus far.

I have a headache, and you should have seen the fast walk I did at lunch. It was cold. And that wind. Brrr. I think I need more tea.

I’am sending Johnny with some drink to make you smile.

It has been a rough two weeks health wise and I just couldn't do much especially with a computer. The migraine was around on and off for two weeks. I feel a little better today so wanted to jump on and say hi. I missed so much and can't go back too many pages so I am going to try and grab some things, I missed talking with everyone.

So good to see you back boobie68. Sending lots of mummy dust that your head feels better soon.

Must get our suitcases down again too.....I will need to pack before Friday morning as we leave quite early........

Get those suitcases down Schumi I’am sending the cats to help and serenade you. I saw Puss n boots at the IOA while there...LOL

Mac, Lynne, Robo, patty, and any I miss

Hey! Sue

Just a quick "Drive By" to say Hello. I will be on my spring vacation (tax season has a slow part and my clients are trained to know I need a winter break) starting Friday. We do the Caribbean or road trips mostly. I will pay more attention starting this weekend and try to catch up. I am so happy to be good to go for theme parks for my October trip and somewhat amazed at the new offerings I have yet to plan for.

Good to see you agavegirl1 . Enjoy your vacation.

guests aren’t just overnight they’re here for almost three weeks.......this is one of my closest friends son and family.....visiting from overseas and rather than a hotel they’re staying here......my friend is overjoyed as she lives 15 minutes away in next village, nearest hotel is much further.....she just doesn’t have the room for them to stay with her. Gives them a bit of space too.......

Schumi you are a kind, sweet soul to host your friends family. I’am sure they are very thankful recipients of your generosity.

have a blessed one, to those homies that get the forehead ash wipe today.

Lynne you are so sweet to always remember everyone. Wishing you a good day with no more headaches.

Mac hope the foot is healing well.

Buckeev hope you and the Mrs had a good trip into Orlando and that you brought your jackets. Will start warming up tomorrow.

Hey! Tink, Pattyw, Charade and all the rest of the Sans family.

 

[Charade67]

Charade the sbc in Chicago do shrovel pancakes
Guess different areas don’t empathize it
My past church always found ways to do food up big on any occasion
Lol

Yep. Any excuse to eat.

I just found out that April 13 is Girl Scout day at Universal. We will be in Orlando that day, I just don’t know which park.
I should have more information after the band meeting on Tuesday.

 

[Sue M]

A note for Sue, we all will be over for breakfast the next time you make pancakes

Well, I didn’t exactly make them, it was pancake dinner at the church! But all are welcome!

Finally back to post. Today was an annoying day of correcting another person’s mistakes. Another person handles taking the claim payments and applying them to the patient accounts. I keep finding errors that he made, plus if he doesn’t understand something or just doesn’t want to do something it gets passed on to me. I have to be very careful about what I say to the main boss, because the person making the mistakes is her husband. For reasons unknown she won’t just let me do all of the billing.


I’m embarrassed to admit that I had to look this up. How is it that I have never heard of Shrove Tuesday? I was raised Southern Baptist, but still you would have thought I would have heard of this at some point in my life.
.

Oh that is a slippery slope, yikes! Never a good idea to have a husband and wife working together when one is the boss.
No need to be embarrassed! I don’t know Baptist traditions!

Lynne......feel better.....sounds nasty! Yep, sleep and pain relief are the best medicines.

Sue, yep, love pancake day........it’s a big thing here......we had simple pancakes with golden syrup.......didn’t get around to them for breakfast.......



Didn’t plan to have bacon this morning, but the aroma of it cooking earlier is far too tempting! Bacon it is.......

Have a great Wednesday..........

We had them for dinner at our church (Anglican). It’s a thing here too! With sausages, and berries with whipped cream for pancakes. But ugh, I passed on sausage. They for some reason switched to turkey sausage this year.
Funny, the mention of bacon and I can smell it lol!

Apparently I have been living in a cave all of my life. I know Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, but I have never heard it called Shrove Tuesday. I also know that you are supposed to feast on Fat Tuesday, but didn’t know that pancakes played such a significant role. I have managed to live my life being rather ignorant of Lent and the pre-Lent days. I wonder what else I am completely clueless about.

I’m sure I’m clueless about lots of things!

Thanks for all the wishes. A good night sleep is what I needed. Feeling better, thankfully.

So glad to hear you’re feeling better! But those temps! Brrrr. I haven’t heard of Rattlesnake fries! Our local Taco Bell is awful. So I don’t go. It’s in the next town, not very far.
Off to get the ashes in an hour lol!

I deliberately and very intentionally avoid all that Lent stuff...….Shrove Tuesday always has been and always will be Pancake day to us...…. Gotta love pancakes...….

Yes, Lynne....just around the corner now...….

Almost lunch time here...….turkey, brie and cranberry grilled sandwiches I think...….

I always clean before trip too! Like to come home to a clean house! Lunch sounds lovely.

Our gardener guy mowed all our grass over a week ago.....earliest we`ve ever had that done!!!

Has buckeev left for his trip???

Yep, suitcases are now down......now need to think about clothes......my friend asked me earlier what I was wearing on the plane????? Haven`t even given it a thought!!

Our lawn is still under snow. Still 4-5 degrees below normal temps here. Ugh. Winter was late here. We were so smug, lol, for awhile. Now we’re all whining!
Yay for getting suitcases down. I always pack bathing suit, it doesn’t take up much room, and you never know. I generally start laying out clothing 2 weeks before leaving. Then launder everything, then try to cut down, I’m a horrible over packer! But I trying.
I may be booking a Sept Universal trip since I’ll have an AP. August going to Disneyland with other daughter.

Have a good Wednesday all. Very excited going to dinner with a couple of ladies then to theatre to see Come From Away. It was so hard to get tickets, we aren’t even sitting together, but all seats are close by. And that was getting in on pre sales.

 

[Squirlz]

@SueM we're going in September. Checking in the 14th fo 7 nights. Should be low crowds. Looking forward to the Hagrid coaster!

 

[bobbie68]

everyone I made it two days in a row ... I just want to say "thank you so much" to everyone for the nice thoughts on feeling better. It is a nice feeling when you are having some rough days!

It was cold here this morning, was going to help start cars this morning but nope too cold for me let the younger ones do it We maybe getting a small storm on Sunday with a mix. Hoping for more rain!!

Wings were good last night, teens had fun.

Tonight is parent/teacher conferences. It will be my last one. I enjoy meeting and talking with her teachers!!!

No big plans the rest of the week or weekend. Teens will be working and we should be cleaning.

Schumi two more days and you will be at your other home!! I enjoy having guests over and would like to open my house but it is so small that we are busting out of the seams with the 4 of us! What a great way to help your friend out and they get to wake up to bacon

Mac Screaming cats I hear you! My one that is eating soft food only right now till her dental surgery in two weeks, starts yelling the moment I let her downstairs and can do it for hours! The worse is when she gets under the feet. I hope you find your rattlesnake fries I am going to check my taco bell today! I hope your feeling better with that foot

Charade I love watching Marvel movies and we will need to do that with Avengers before the last one. I am sad to say that I don't remember a lot of it. I could watch them all the time! I am sorry about your uncomfortable position with your bosses husband. I hope that works out good! Girl Scout Day sounds really cool! I didn't even know they had that!

Patty I love the winter meme pic!! That is exactly how I feel How exciting to be looking forward to a trip to one of your happy places and sharing it with your mom.. I hope it warms up for you!!

Robo OMG! you got me with your WWE and the parents with the beads!! All I did was picture this and it made my morning. I hope you and Mr. are feeling good and stay warm!

Sue Enjoy your show tonight I hope spring comes soon for you! Your trips sound like a fun time to plan

Agavegirl1 so nice to see you post and feeling good! Awesome news about being able to enjoy the parks in October

Lynne Glad that you feel better today! I agree sleep, meds and ice for me!!

Time to find out? Lol if you don’t have friends of the faith or lived in an area with large population, I can see not knowing the traditions.

I deliberately and very intentionally avoid all that Lent stuff...….Shrove Tuesday always has been and always will be Pancake day to us...…. Gotta love pancakes...….

We need to put our snowblower away before the mower gets lugged out. Still have several inches of ground cover snow.

I found it sad when youngest DS left HS too. Same as when he left college, then the house. Lucky he lives close enough I see him at least once a week...same with my other two.

 

[pattyw]

@SueM we're going in September. Checking in the 14th fo 7 nights. Should be low crowds. Looking forward to the Hagrid coaster!

So sad we'll miss you! We arrive 9/27! Maybe in December???

Tonight is parent/teacher conferences. It will be my last one

Sad when they grow up! But you'll still hear all about Liv's days and professors!!

It’s done here but pierogis & fish frys are a must do by almost all.

This Polish girl loves pierogis!! I have my grandma's recipe- just never the time to dedicate to making them! When we do, we'll make hundreds!

Taking a break from the mountain of paperwork I'm buried under!
Enjoying my Girl Scout cookie purchase!!The Lemonades are wonderful!! I'm leaving them at work so I don't have to share!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!!

Mr bought 6 boxes at work. Seems as though his buddy’s DD has been a scout for 20+ years lol. He’s a basic trefoil guy. I skipped my box of thin mints, too easy to tear thru that box in a few settings

Just as easy to make 100’s as few dozen once you’ve set up shop. Mr won’t touch them hmmph but i love the basic cheese/taters slathered in carmelized onions and tons of butter. Haluski & haluski also delicacies as far as I’m concerned .

Bought my corned beef & head of cabbage last weekend before they were all picked over. Will fix for St Paddy’s day along with soda bread with raisins.

I Was surprised to find out (when making raviolis for the first time under tutelage of ex’s grandma) that the dough was totally different process vs pierogi. I never did graduate past being trusted to just seal them lol. I’d never attempt on my own but my middle DS is a pro at it

It is a wonder that cheap beads can be such a fun item for those who throw them and those who catch them. Universal has really come up with a fun family freindly event with Mardi Gras. The little ones enjoy the beads as much as the adults do. So sweet of you to share your beads with the littles.

Schumi you are a kind, sweet soul to host your friends family. I’am sure they are very thankful recipients of your generosity.

I had no idea I was so competitive till they started throwing the beads last year.....lol.....yes, had to share as we had so many anyway....

If there`s no video or sound.....then it can`t be true......I`m told I snore too...….nooooooo…..can`t be true!!

Suitcases are down now..….still empty though......will pack tomorrow...…

I love having guests, I really do....and they are just darling people....warm, friendly and kids are a delight....I think they enjoy it here too, close to his mum but not on the doorstep!!!

We had them for dinner at our church (Anglican). It’s a thing here too! With sausages, and berries with whipped cream for pancakes. But ugh, I passed on sausage. They for some reason switched to turkey sausage this year.

Swimming costumes, love that expression. I wish i could wear a ‘costume’ at the pool to cover me from neck to toe



Yes, a few pics would be swell mr Buckeev


We need to put our snowblower away before the mower gets lugged out. Still have several inches of ground cover snow.


I found it sad when youngest DS left HS too. Same as when he left college, then the house. Lucky he lives close enough I see him at least once a week...same with my other two.

How did I not know you don't like pancakes!!!! I heard a rumour there was someone on the planet who didn't eat them.....and I know you

Love mac n cheese made from scratch......one of Kyle`s specialities…..enjoy!!!

Lunch was dandy!!!! So what do you call a swimming costume???? Have I missed that....lol...….yes, not an outfit anyone really wants to be seen in!!!

I am really craving pancakes right now.

I have never eaten a pierogi.

Girl Scout Lemonades are awesome, but my favorite is the Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs.

Waiting for B to get out of school. Tonight we will be watching Black Panther. We were getting kind of silly last night. B was wondering what the Avengers and others were going to do after saving the galaxy in Endgame. I responded with “We’re going to Disney World!” That prompted a discussion of which of them may have visited Dinsey in the past and which haven’t. We also discussed where we thought each character would go on vacation.

So what do you call a swimming costume????

Swimsuit.

Swimming costume reminds me of a dance that the competition team at B’s studio did a few years ago. They danced to a medley of water/beach themed songs. Their dance costumes were designed to look like swimsuits.
