Something About Nothing ... #12

[Charade67]

Hello everyone. I’m trying to post while at lunch. I’m getting really annoyed trying to do multi quote on a phone.
We had a mostly lazy Sunday. Went to lunch, did a little shopping, and watched TV.
This morning I took B to school and an ambulance came in behind me. It stopped next to a bus - one of the ones used to transport disabled students. The bus had the ramp lowered and there was a wheelchair next to it, but no sign of a student. I’ll ask B this afternoon if she found out what happened.

and I think my vacuum cleaner is a bust. Just quit yesterday.

I thought mine was dead ( and it’s not very old) but it turned out that a hose had gotten clogged.

I took a page outta your book tonight, and made the Mac & Cheese. With penne instead of macaroni. Even Mr loved it. I was surprised since he isn’t overly fond of pasta. I’d say it was a hit! 5 cheese, ham, and sautéed sweet onions.

Oooh...that sounds really good.

For those who aren’t familiar with DL’s canoes...that is quite the feet (pun intended) as it’s a heckofa tight fit. i have a bad enough time settling into the Matterhorn cars before they put in the first reconfiguration. Remember cringing when I first say how you used to be seated. Was glad when they put backs on seats.

“Originally, the bobsleds featured a two-person seat, where the larger person boarded first and sat down, then the second, smaller, person boarded second and sat between their legs. The seatbelts were more like standard, at the time, car seatbelts that could be removed at any time.”

I wonder how much difficulty I will have. My knees have been a bit sore lately.

What’s with all the work? When the cat’s away, the mice should play .

I’m just trying to get the place clean before we leave. I hate coming home to a messy house. Dh will be home alone so who knows what condition it will be in when I get back.

Trying to type on this phone is getting really frustrating. I will be back later when i have a better device to use.

I was never so happy to get my replacement keyboard Saturday from amazon! Last one didn’t last 5 months. This time I paid half the price lol for one with 2 year warranty. So far so good.

Take your time getting into the ride vehicles, it’s disney, they have to be nice to you haha. I’ve taken a hard pass on the canoes every single visit. May give it a whirl this time since i’m Sure GD will be dragging me by the hand

Hey Vicki...…..I saw you pop in...…..

Charade I clean my whole house from top to bottom, well most of the rooms we use.....the others are fine....before every trip....all the bathrooms are sparkling, even the guest ones and nothing is out of place......I guess I did inherit some of my mother`s joy of housework...….it`s a good feeling though!!!

Kyle is tidy but doesn't vacuum or wash the floors......he keeps on top of everything else though...…

Keisha glad you got your new keyboard sorted out!!! Glad you had lovely weather the weekend.....but sorry about the Chinese buffet.…..yikes!!!! And hope tomorrows hairdo works out well!!

Yes, drives aren't exactly glamorous purchases!! Guy came today and they can`t start till May 27th...they are so busy, which is a good sign......But we get the car May 1st, had hoped it would be done before then....but it`ll work out...….and I`ll be in NY for some of the work.....yay!!!



It is freezing outside today. Cold and misty with such a strong damp feel.....chills your bones.

After I dropped my friend off I nipped in to a store and got a 3/4 length suede effect jacket....no zip or buttons...you know the style....it`s too big!! Didn't try it on, so will take it back tomorrow and get the smaller size.....always more pleasant than taking it back for the bigger size!!!!

Time for cup of tea...….

 

[Charade67]

Just heard that there was a bomb threat at the height school about a mile from where I work. (Not B’s school) They have evacuated the building.

 

[Lynne G]

Scary Charade. Hope it was a false alarm.

 

[Sue M]

Those Bobsleds are brutal on the sit bones! I went on because my daughter never did it. It was her first time at DL. I don’t remember them being so rough! But then I was a lot younger! Next trip had to go on with other daughter! It broke down! We did single rider so when it broke down she was near the top! I was lower down thankfully. But it was hard to get out of that bobsled on the uphill! Next Aug going again with oldest, and she’s on her own if she wants to ride!

I always clean before we go away too! Hate coming home to a messy house.

Charade Hope the students are ok. Ambulance and bomb threats ugh. Scary times.

Keishashadow lol, it’s Disney they have to be nice. But your right, take your time. Especially with the canoe! Mine wasn’t a graceful exit!
Sorry about buffet. That must have been bad. I love sushi, but we live on the coast, plenty of fresh fish here.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Just got home from swim fit, and off again on errands. So just a quick check in.
Cold and rainy here. Supposed to clear then more rain Wednesday.

 

[Charade67]

Haven’t heard anything more about either incident. B might hear more about the bomb threat tonight. Some of the kids in her dance classes go to that school.
I feel like I should be doing something productive. Maybe I’ll start planning what I need to pack for the trip.

[schumigirl]

Now I`m craving sushi...….

Good Tuesday Morning...….

It is still dull, grey and cold.....and the breeze is getting up......heading out this morning for few bits and pieces.

Need to take the jacket back I bought yesterday for the smaller size, pick up a cd rewriter, and a few grocery items...…..tonight`s dinner is spicy bbq basted chicken breasts with rice and some roasted peppers.....simple again......ended up making chicken pasta with creamy peppercorn sauce.....lush!!!!

4 weeks today till we leave for the airport hotel...…..

Have a great Tuesday all.…...

 

[Lynne G]

Sounds like a productive day, Schumi. I hope they have the smaller jacket, so you'll be set. Thinking pasta for dinner, as may make meat balls, as have some ground beef still left from making hamburgers the other day. Easy meal for me too. But, since today is a Tuesday, may be like Mac,

and maybe do a Taco Bell run.

Not sure. But, as the weather girl said this morning. 62 at 5 am this morning, with overcast skies at time, and a nice, warm day, with high of 77 this afternoon. Woot! Rain that was supposed to be today, will not arrive until later, and stay mostly South of us. It's the massive storm coming toward the end of the week, that because we are in the fringe area, will not be getting the really ugly stuff, but rain and more rain. But, the 5 day look, a beautiful Saturday is predicted. Bring it on!

And oh so warm inside. Tea for me, ice at the ready.

all! Drink up, stay safe and well, and have a taco or two. Maybe you'll also see Mac at the Taco Bell today.


Later homies.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. Slow day today. The contractors are supposed to be back today to start staining the deck. I’m going to run home at lunch to see if they are there.
Nothing else to report.

 

[schumigirl]

Almost bedtime here...…..

Tom has some sci fi thing on tv, Kyle is having an early night so all quiet here.....

Weather is still cold, tomorrow doesn't look much better....I need some sunshine

See youse guys tomorrow…….

Good night Carole...sweet dreams

Thunderstorms here this afternoon but clear now and a nice 70 degrees.

I should be doing yard work but I'm watching Game of Thrones instead...need to jog my memory to get ready for the new season. Glad Directv has a free HBO preview this week even though I already have all the past seasons...may have to order HBO to watch the rest.

Chicken vegetable soup for me tonight...I'm sure mac is enjoying her Taco Bell about now.

Have a great night everyone.

 

[Charade67]

Wow, sure has been quiet here today.
I just found out that I need to choose new snacks for this trip. B has a bag of trail mix, and I got a can of honey roasted almonds. We have been asked not to bring anything that contains tree nuts due to several allergies.

I finally have a few days where I have total control over the TV and there is nothing on I want to watch. Right now I have it tuned to a Harry Potter movie.

No tacos tonight, but we did go to our favorite Mexican restaurant.

 

[Lynne G]

Quiet night is a good thing. May all sleep well, and hope Schumi, Tink and Charade go to bed with a full tummy.

Yeah, food allergies, pretzels fit the snack bill.

 

[Monykalyn]

Nice day off today-sunny, warm. Had windows open, babies outside. You'd think that being out in their pen all day would tire them out, but NOOOOO they are all twittering and whining and crying at being back in their (big comfy) brooder. Mostly lazy day although did manage to be somewhat productive: sheets changed on beds, laundry finished, dinner cooked tonight and dinner for tomorrow in crockpot ready to start in am. Booked my and sons snorkeling excursion in Grand cayman. And SW is having great sale-but means flying out a night before I'd planned...can get hotel on points by MCO, and take hotel shuttle so not have to bother picking up rental late at night; coworker offered to take my day of work I was scheduled so it could work. Haven't had chance to discuss with DH yet. His dad is in town for his Christmas present-our local Boys&Girls club huge fundraiser is tonight, called "steak&Steak"-they get in a big sports figure to come talk during a really nice dinner. Have had figures like Brett Favre in past-tonight it is the KC Chiefs Quarterback. This event sold out within hours of being announced.

And our doggie didn't work out with the golden retriever-but may end up with a black lab puppy. Lady supposed to call me tomorrow. Her son turned out to be highly allergic.

Big kid needs some summer clothes shipped to her. Hoping to get to see her at end of month at her school-and probably take a load home. She is going to have such limited time to get her apartment cleared out before she heads to NM and then Alaska right away in May. DH's dad has offered to pay for TSA precheck for her (likely a huge help when she has to go to DC) but I don't know when she will have the time!

Yay for Charade-couple more days??

Too nice to do anything else today-even bribed the middle kid to drive the boy to soccer LOL!

Time for bed soon-LOVE the doggies dreaming Lynne! Night to all the peeps-seems quiet day for most?

 

[Sue M]

Good evening peeps. Busy and stressful week here but just checking in. Dealing with stuff.

Hope Schumi gets her coat in the right size. I could use that wine dispenser!

Monykalyn Love the chick stories. Sorry pup didn’t work out.

Lynne cute pups.

Tink, I’ve given up jogging memory lol. There’s just too much to keep straight, but looking forward to Sunday! Yay. I think the gang will be here to watch. Both daughters (well one still lives here), dds boyfriend, best friend and her fiancé. Will have to think of snacks to make. Especially with 2 boys in their late 20s and huge appetites.

Charades closer to her trip!

I’m at 2 weeks, and after the past few days, it can’t come soon enough.

Nothing special for dinner tonight. Mr made soup and sandwiches. Tomorrow morning helping out at church, then car insurance lady coming over to renew policy. I’m so glad we have an extra rider included in our car insurance that covers car rental insurance too, only $60/yr extra. Those rental companies charge crazy prices for insurance.

Friday getting pre trip hair trim, Saturday have matinee tickets for Singing In The Rain with friends.

I’ve got to get my winter stuff put away and summer stuff out. Time is ticking away but life keeps getting in the way, ugh. And soon it will be Easter. We’ve been invited out the Saturday to family friends for dinner, then Sunday Easter family dinner here. And Tuesday we leave. I’m getting a little panicked.

[schumigirl]

hey Vicki......yep, Kyle has been trying to catch up with all episodes before new season......we gave up....apart from the fact it is quite exhausting to watch, so much info!!!! But, looking forward to new season.....think we have to get up in the middle of the night to see it before there are spoilers revealed next day!!!

Yep Sue, did get the smaller jacket......like it.

MonyK…..some nice sounding plans for your trip!!! Grand Cayman sounds lovely...….




Wednesday again...….

Grey outside, but we are promised some sunshine today.....and a massive 48F.

Lunch today with the financial guy then a couple of hours of financial talk that I don't really listen to, but Tom does....that`ll do!!! Yearly routine meet......Glad they know what they`re doing!!!

Then home...…..just Tom and I for dinner tonight, but as we`ll have had a large lunch, may just snack or have grilled turkey and brie sandwiches later.....

Lazy morning though...….cranberry muffin for breakfast......made them yesterday and they are huge .....so one will suffice...…..

Have a great day...…...

 

[Lynne G]

OOh, MonyK, so glad you posted in busy time. Cute chick stories, and hope your new dog works out. I love labs, they are so great dogs. Good to be lazy for a day, or two, or three...... Pictures from the snorkeling would be appreciated. Great you booked it for that cruise stop. I'd also like your comments on it. We have only done the Eastern on the Fantasy, looking to do a Western with a different cruise line either around December holidays, or right after New Year's. Still thinking. And, a SW sale. I wish. Fares have not been as good, and eek, the times for the very limited direct flights. Cheap me will arrive just after the crack of dawn and come home close to the clock striking midnight to save some dough. I refuse to book a stop anywhere when heading into Florida. Direct is around 2 and 1/2 hours to Orlando, and a few minutes longer to Ft. L.

Yay! Two week countdown to Sue. Busy Sue home too, and don't panic, anything you forget, you can certainly get in Orlando. Easter for us, is not a big deal. We do get some of the family home for dinner. Since my nephew's wife had their third kid, a boy, born on Sunday, that extended part of the family, will be a no show. Summer, 4th of July is usually the big family get together. May be the first time I see the newest great nephew in person.

Schumi's day sounds routine, and that's a good thing too. Happy to read the right size is a good fit and you like it. And yum, to home made muffin. I made chocolate chip ones the other day, small though. Little one will only eat those or chocolate ones. She will not touch when I make cranberry or apple, or cinnamon sugar. Older one will, and DH eats anything I bake, usually.

Sunny day, but a bit cooler. Topping off at 65 today. Golden sun streaming into window. Have to say inside okay, though almost too warm. Free coffee, so no tea for me. And oooh, a piece of yum from a favorite City bakery, friend brought me. I need a nap now. LOL

But, it is a Wednesday, and while the great minion reminder from Schumi to do this Wednesday Thing, that means, oh yes it does, the camel.

he, he, no, really,

. Yep,

and have a good one all. Time for more free coffee. Oh yes I said that. Later. Ooooh, donuts. I am good. Just the coffee. Yep.
