Something About Nothing............ #14

[Charade67]

ironic that mint is sometimes used to settle stomach issues...

So I should get some York Peppermint Patties to go with my crackers and ginger ale?

 

[schumigirl]

Quick late night check in. I woke up this morning with an upset tummy, and haven't felt well all day. I haven't eaten much today. Tomorrow might be a saltine cracker and ginger ale kind of day.

No shamrock shake for me. I'm not a big fan of mint. about the only time I eat it is if I have some of the Andes mints after a meal at Olive Garden, or I will occasionally eat a York Peppermint Patty.

Hope you feel better today Charade.......I swear by fresh ginger for upset tummies, but any form is supposed to help.

Sounds really lovely!


Mint chocolate chip ice cream is so yummy! And the mojito too!!


Steak is great! And your niece has sound reasoning, lol!!


Sorry you're not feeling well.....ironic that mint is sometimes used to settle stomach issues...





Ended up being an errands day after my appt. by the accountant ....post office, bank, tanning, dry cleaning, grocery store.
We had pasta for dinner, easy peasy.
Watching the last season of Schitt's Creek on Netflix. I'll be sad when I'm finished. Really funny show!
Have a nice night

I`m going to try Schitts Creek again.......someone said, if you get over the 4th episode, we`ll love it. But we didn`t make it past the 3rd.....but so many folks rave about it, and we love Catherine O Hara and Eugene Levy, so I`m not sure why it didn`t click straight away.





Our very own Keishashadow and her mister set off on their vacation today..............hope you both have a wonderful trip Janet.........

We have some lightning forecast this morning, little bit of rain, some sunshine and light winds.......yep, it`s that time of year where we can get any weather.

Going out to do some shopping this morning......didn`t get a delivery as we didn`t really need that much. So will get our usual fresh for the next few days as the plumber will be here tomorrow and then we have some work being done on Friday. Tom`s famous for the line......"get the guy" so, I got the guy.......nabbed him while he was here yesterday for a few other little jobs that I wanted doing.

Will make a nice lunch as Kyle has the day off today.......

Dinner is apparently pizza......so I`m told. I won`t complain.

It does look so dull outside, so hoping it brightens up and we`ll get out a walk later, but not looking too good right now.

Croissants for breakfast this morning with some marmalade I think. And tea, lots of tea.

Happy Wednesday ​

 

[keishashadow]

Good morning sunshines

Our very own Keishashadow and her mister set off on their vacation today..............hope you both have a wonderful trip Janet.........

What a lovely send off thank you. Waiting for them to call boarding

belated happy birthday wishes to Robbie! Sounds like you had a wonderful day

2nd vaccine side effects were a bit harsh for the mr & me. Like the flu but rolls thru within 2 days or so...well worth the discomfort!!!

Hair had decided orange cast after appt Friday, had to have hair re-highlighted yesterday. Good news is it’s still attached to my head

keep a light in the window

 

[Lynne G]

Hope Keisha is enjoying her flight now. Safe travels and wishing you boatloads of fun when you get there.

Schumi, quite the weather you are having. We get a warmer and wall to wall sunny day. Mind you, still starting out below freezing, but at least 4 degrees warmer at 28F. But a glorious late Winter afternoon, as thermometer will most likely say 50F. Pizza sounds great for dinner.

Charade, I hope you feel much better today. Upset tummy, not fun at all . Well wishes sent to you.

Paris, hope you are doing well, and got all the errands ran yesterday, so can relax today.

But as I too enjoy that morning cup of tea, there’s a smile as well. Ah yes,



Yay! A Wednesday is here. And yay, camel reminder that such a Wednesday is the middle of the week, and yep, get over this hump of this day, and woot woot, Friday then is only one day away.

A Great Morning hello to Schumi, Keisha, Charade, Julie, Paris, Robo, Sue, Mac and all the homies. And have a wonderful Wednesday too, homies.

Ooh more tea? Why yes. Schumi and I know, lots of tea, a good thing.

Breakfast hunt is on. There may be a cinnamon bun left. That surely needs to be grilled with a smear of butter. Later homies.

 

[schumigirl]

Yep, weird weather Lynne, cooler all over here in the UK.....and we have a weird fog that is swirling despite it being as still as it could be. Plenty of tea around today. Enjoy that sunshine when it does appear.....


And Keisha will be well on her way to the sunshine.......




Ended up with grilled sandwiches for lunch and had a nice chatty lunch today. Just wish the weather was a bit nicer, but so grey with the mist hanging low.

And yes, pizza for tonight.

Few little bits and bobs to do this afternoon......keeps me out of mischief.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Unusually I think we’ve done better for weather than Carole this week. London on the news grey and cloudy. Changes forecast from this afternoon but can’t complain.

A friend of mine from my food blogger days has been doing weekly live children’s cooking classes. Last one today as children return to school so L and I joined in to make a chocolate mini egg cookie cake. Looks good. Hopefully a gooey centre.



Hope those under the weather are improving and Keisha has a wonderful time. Oh my so long since we were on a flight!

 

[Robo56]

Good morning Sans family



Happy Trails to Keisha and her hubby. Have a great trip.

Hope it does go tonight Robo, yes they said winds are higher than they`d like.

It has been postponed again. When I looked yesterday evening they had rescheduled it to 3:24 am Thursday morning. Will see. The winds are picking up today and we have sun and clouds and rain possible. If the weather cooperates and the mechanical issues are sorted should go. Night time lift offs if the sky is clear are beautiful to watch. This one will be a good time for you all as it will be about 9:34 your time in the morning.

Yes, our beaches here are lovely, but we prefer where we come from originally, beaches are stunning and we have palm trees on the beach on that side of the country. But, we love living beside the sea on either coast.

I didn’t know Scotland had palm trees.

belated happy birthday wishes to Robbie! Sounds like you had a wonderful day

Thank you Keisha........wishing you and your Mr have a lovely vacation.

Sorry to hear you both felt unwell after your second shot. It’s all over now. It’s vacation time.

Glad to hear you were able to get your hair fixed and yes having the hair stay attached is a good thing.

Charade I hope you feel better soon.

Mac hope you are feeling better.

Hey! Tink



My neighbors next door felt well the day of the shot, then the next day she felt sick and her arm swelled up and turned red at the injection site and here husband complained of back pain.


I’am sitting here in the cat bird seat.....LOL....my favorite comfy chair in the family room with view of water, palms, birds, squirrels etc....That’s what my hushbsnd calls it.....LOL

It’s sunny then cloudy as the clouds are moving over and the winds are picking up. Looks like it could rain.

I have a massage today. It was a birthday present. When I called to schedule they asked if I wanted deep muscle or gentle. Gentle please. I scheduled a massage at a nice place here a couple of years ago and petite lady therapist came in and I thought she was going to break by back.......LOL.....I had to tell her to ease off on the pressure and she said she had a 80 year old lady who loved her deep muscle massage. I asked if the lady walked out afterwards and she laughed.



I have started on masks for granddaughters Bridal Shower. They will be in little gift bags with other things. I have a lady that does beautiful custom invitations working on those and I have ordered a few decorations. Have had things on the back burner so to speak. Need to get busy.

Need to get scooting.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

 

[J'aime Paris]

So I should get some York Peppermint Patties to go with my crackers and ginger ale?

Can't hurt, lol!
Here's hoping you're already feeling better today....!

I`m going to try Schitts Creek again.......someone said, if you get over the 4th episode, we`ll love it. But we didn`t make it past the 3rd.....but so many folks rave about it, and we love Catherine O Hara and Eugene Levy, so I`m not sure why it didn`t click straight away.

Oh, do give it another try!!

Happy Hump Day, Lynne!





Our Keurig gets quite a workout each morning. DH leaves the house with a cup in hand daily and I normally have 2-3 cups myself. I love trying new flavored creamers...todays choice is Oatmeal Creme Pie!!

Lunch will be leftovers, and I'm thinking turkey rice bowls for supper. A light meal with less calories than my normal cooking.

A trip to the gym, a few phone calls, pay a few bills, and a load of laundry is on the horizon for today.

We`re hoping for a take off in Texas later today/tonight our time....fingers crossed. They only give as little notice as possible there, but roads have been closed, town emptied and looks good to go....

Yes, on the West Coast mainly but the Gulf Stream runs along that side of the country.....we had many palm trees around us on the fronts of some seaside towns. Yep, many are surprised to hear that.

Glad you had a nice massage and that`s a fun job with the bridal shower prep......have a lovely day........

Can't hurt, lol!
Here's hoping you're already feeling better today....!


Oh, do give it another try!!

I think we will for sure.......maybe ignore the first couple of episodes.......

You`re having a much healthier dinner than I am tonight!!! You do so well with your food......hope you have a lovely day too......it`s quite cold here, so not many outside things today for us. Same all over it seems......but we have this added fog which I`m sure drops the temps even further.......




Mid afternoon tea time I think, with some shortbread I baked after lunch......nice!

 

[schumigirl]

Robbie......here`s a couple of examples of Palm Trees around where we used to live in Scotland. The first one is from further up North.

None of the pictures are mine, all courtesy of Google.....

 

[Lynne G]

Yum, that looks delicious, Julie.

Robo, day sounds great, and enjoy that massage.

Paris, left over lunch always a good thing. My family, except for DH, are not fond of leftover meals. Thinking using the rest of the steaks we bought, will be grilled again. Thinking putting peppers and onions on the grill too. I like easy dinners.

And so, that very bright and beautiful weather. Still cool to me, but lunchtime walk, yes. Looking forward to it. Did hear the doves cooing this morning. Like hearing them. Time for more tea. Always enjoy sipping on it.

He seems very comfortable in his bed. Cute picture.




Glad to hear you have a fun trip planned. I will get back to the trip report today. So glad you are enjoying it.




Cute cat. They are amazing how they can contort their little bodies to sleep.

LOL........He has a look like “Alright just try making me move off the bed”.




Happy belated birthday to your DIL.

Getting older has it’s awesome advantages. Most folks become wiser with age and if you have worked hard and invested wisely you can buy what ever you want. I always love seeing older folks driving around in their Jaguar sports cars with the top down.

Captain Tom showed us all that even in advanced age we all have something to contribute.

So celebrate getting older no matter what age you are









Sounds delicious.




Glad to hear they have a plan in place for your mom. Prayers for her as she gets her testing and prepares for surgery.




Sound like they are having a lovely time.




Congratulations on the weight loss.




Wow.....looks so good.




Hope your toe gets better soon.




Sorry. To hear your hubby felt so bad after his second shot. Hope he is feeling better now.

Neighbor and her husband had their second shot yesterday. They both took extra strength Tylenol before the shot yesterday afternoon and again last night and this morning just to be safe. Called her a little while ago and they both are doing well so far. They had the Moderna vaccine.




Yes, it’s normal and depends on the how turbulent the Ocean has been. We have had some high winds on and off out of the East Southeast that’s causing strong currents and pushing tides farther in on beaches bringing the jellyfish in in some areas. It’s windy again today.

My friend and I were walking on the beach Friday and we commented that we haven’t scene any jelly fish lately and how strange that was. A lot of the local kids who skim board and surf will take their boards and pick them up and throw them back in the water and then go farther on down the beach and surf.

The jellyfish are beautiful to look at, but their sting is horrible I have heard. Another reason why I will not swim in the ocean anymore. That along with the sharks and rip currents.

The beaches will flag purple if they if the LG finds jellyfish or shark activity.

What a perfect gymnastic jump for joy. You have every reason to be a proud grandma. Congratulations to your granddaughter on her medals at her competition. So nice to hear that your family had a great time at
Universal.



Have been busy past few days. Sounds like everyone on the boards here has had some nice days to get out and enjoy warmer weather.

Hubby and I went for dinner on the beach Wednesday. Was nice meal and some folks were flying kites. Will put those pics in from my phone.
Dinner was yummy.

I went up to KSC with a fellow Rocket Sista Thursday. Was a nice pre-birthday Celebration day. Wow......has KSC changed since I was there about 12 years ago. I remember seeing Schumi’s pics and trip report on their trip to KSC.

It was extremely humbling to be reminded of the sacrifices that were made to advance our knowledge of Space travel and research. If you haven’t been to KSC it’s very much worth a visit. It is not far from Orlando and if you have the time go and enjoy. There are some really fun interactive things for children also.

Friday my birthday was spent on the beach shelling and enjoying the weather.

Yesterday went out to breakfast at my favorite local restaurant and then went to the Farmers Market in Ft Pierce. There was a awesome jazz/rock band playing there. The singer who also played the guitar was awesome. She is incredibly talented.

There is a lady there that makes beautiful Larimar and Pearl jewelry. I found a piece for great-granddaughters up coming birthday.

This evening my other two Rocket Sistas and I are getting together to have margaritas and a Mexican dinner before we watch the space ship take off. They have been delaying this particular Falcon 9 Rocket do to issues so hopefully the winds will lay down and it can launch this evening at 8:37 pm. SpaceX is sending up more satellites on the rocket.

We had thought about driving up to Banana River on the 528 East or to another better place in Titusville to watch it go off, but scrapped that idea as it might be crowded with all the folks vacationing in the area.

Have to say I have had the nicest past few days.......LOL....with all this Celebrating it pays to get old......LOL....how sweet it is. Thank you Lord for another year, although it has been trying at times.

Hope everyone is doing well.


For all our homies that are not feeling well...... get well soon. You have more fun trips to look forward to at Universal.

Kinda skimming through hope everyone is great, I must not have put the lol after the don’t get too old meaning like a joke haha.......

That’s ok all in the eyes of the beholder, lol

I do like hearing talk of investments and such, I was involved at a young age sorry to reference age again, in rental properties at first then got tired of the headaches involved, I’ve dabbled with several other things until recently I do a 10-11ish til about 1-2ish

The Jaguar though nah not again bought my wife a new one in our early 20’s and not interested in that brand ever again.

Most recently the wild ride has been this Bitcoin thing I got into a while back, I was told I must be a lunatic dumping so much into a meaningless thing..........

.................

Hi Mac that trained cat is perfect right!!!

Lynne I’m sending warm air your way to melt that snow off!!!!!

Good Day!!!

Charade hope you continue to improve.

Robo how lovely a massage. Kev asked what I would like for my birthday/anniversary (same date) next month as we were going away and I said there’s nothing I need at all at the moment but when things open up I’d like a spa day - massage and facial. We have a lovely spa hotel not far away so fingers crossed!

We had a palm tree at our last home. Grew like Topsy. It was there when I arrived. Another of those things brought back by explorers. Some delicate varieties have to be wrapped up to survive our winters but other hardy varieties absolutely fine.

Cooking a small piece of gammon for the grown ups and pizza and fries for the GC. All will share the cake (I might even risk a bit).

Nice to see a Mac post.

Time to do the veg.

Yes, we have some beautiful palm trees in Scotland......I thought I had a picture of some covered in snow up in Plockton, it just looked so odd....but very pretty. Can`t find it.

I want a trained cat like Robo shared with us..

That`s my kind of cat........





SpaceX Starship 10 aborted before it took off earlier, but they may try again later.....late night for us I think.

Fog seems to have cleared from us, although another dull and cloudy day ahead for most tomorrow again. Glad I`m not going out.....will be glad to see the new shower go in and we should be able to use it Friday.

Pizza was good tonight, slighty too salty so I think they have changed their sauce they usually use. Drank a gallon of water tonight......

Going to watch some Person of Interest for a couple of hours till we see if the rocket will take off or not.

Hope our Keisha is having a blast.....

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a stop in!!!!

We had a good weekend. I kept busy just putzing around the house most of the weekend. I did work one short shift at the second job, which flew by as it was pretty busy. With our restrictions, people had to wait outside to shop. Unless I am going into a store for necessities - groceries- we don't wait in line outside to get into a store. It's obviously a want...not a need. Guess it's imo, but whatever floats your boat.

Work is slow. Not many papers to shuffle...which is a nice break. Guess we will see how long it lasts.

Our weather is up and down. I really struggle at this time of year. We had a dump (had over a foot fall again) of snow over the weekend. Then it gets warm,...no today it's cooler again. I had to run home over lunch and get a sweater, I couldn't get warm. Even with a heater under my desk, I was cold. I hate the warm, cold, warm cold, warm cold then snow in between. I just want spring to come already. It's time. Hopefully, cross my fingers this doesn't last for weeks. 2 years ago it was cold and nasty like this until May!!!! I remember we were packing to go to Mexico May 12 for DD's wedding, and we had a dump of snow and -20 C weather in May. I was never soooooooooooooo happy to get onto a plane to head to a tropical climate.

ol......hate mint anything......it`s up there with other nasties like coriander (cilantro) and caulifower rice.......

I am with you...I hate MINT!!!! I don't like mint anything. I eat cauliflower rice, but I won't say that's it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I eat it to cut down on carbs, but that's about it.

I hope to still do our short NYC trip. That won’t be until June.

I sure hope you get to do that trip. We are longing here to travel again, but sadly, I don't think we will even think about planning anything until fall.

Waiting for them to call boarding

Have fun. I hope you have a fun and safe trip!!!!! I'm jealous of your get away!!!!!

A friend of mine from my food blogger days has been doing weekly live children’s cooking classes. Last one today as children return to school so L and I joined in to make a chocolate mini egg cookie cake. Looks good. Hopefully a gooey centre.

THAT looks delicious!!!!!! I am not a big chocolate/sweets lover, but I do adore any type of mini eggs!!!!!

It sounds like your birthday celebrations were great!!!! I am missing spending time with any of our family. Other than going to visit DD, we have not seen any other family since September. It's time to start to see family again.

A trip to the gym, a few phone calls, pay a few bills, and a load of laundry is on the horizon for today.

Congrats on your gym accomplishment. Our gyms here are not even open right now with restrictions. You can have private lessons from a trainer, but to actually go into a gym...NOPE. Sigh., I am so tired of the restrictions. Both myself and DH would love to get into the gym. WE can't walk outside right now, as with the melting snow, our sidewalks are skating rinks, as there is no where (most of the time for the water to run off onto the roads) so it sits on the sidewalks. It's so dangerous to even try to walk through the neighbourhood to get to the walking trails. Hopefully soon, some of our restrictions are lifted.

Mac...I hope you are on the mend

Well, I should shuffle the last few papers, and then head home. On tonight's menu is beef and broccoli in the instant pot. A couple loads of laundry, and hopefully a little painting on the project tonight.

Take care to anyone I didn't mention...have a great evening!!!!

Robbie......here`s a couple of examples of Palm Trees around where we used to live in Scotland. The first one is from further up North.

None of the pictures are mine, all courtesy of Google.....

Stunning!
It would seem that Scotland has the most shades of green one could ever see!!

Paris, left over lunch always a good thing. My family, except for DH, are not fond of leftover meals. Thinking using the rest of the steaks we bought, will be grilled again. Thinking putting peppers and onions on the grill too. I like easy dinners.

DH came from a family of four brothers...leftovers didn't exist by the time they devoured food, lol!
He had to learn to like leftovers, as we are only a family of 3. (2 with DD at college)

I need to go find something to do today. If I get bored enough I might clean the refrigerator.

I'm never that bored, hee hee!!

I want a trained cat like Robo shared with us..

Ditto! Mine lives rent free, just cuz she's cute as a bug!

Cooking a small piece of gammon for the grown ups and pizza and fries for the GC. All will share the cake (I might even risk a bit).

I had to look up gammon...wasn't familiar with the word. Seems close to ham?
Learned something new!

Thank you!!!
I'm sorry your weather isn't cooperating and your gym isn't open yet. That surely is frustrating!!
Better weather days are ahead!! Keep warm until then...




I got a package in the mail today! Super exciting, since it wasn't supposed to arrive for a couple more weeks!
I ordered a new bucket hat for the beach. I found one that is super whimsical, but fits my personality pretty well...

This is a close up of the pattern. The dogs are Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgis. We had a Cardigan named Taylor that lived 16 years. He was an extraordinary dog!
And wine is kinda my 'thing'.... not that I won't try a beer, martini, or other from time to time, lol!

It was just so funny to find a hat in such a specific pattern!!! I love it!!

Funny, Paris, my sister’s last dog was a corgi mix. Sweet dog that also lived around 15 years. He was a rescue my sister bought from the pound when they estimated he was 2 or 3 years old. Very cute bucket pattern.

Pumpkin, nice to see ya post. And yeah, things will slowly get back to normal, though I hope mask wearing and spacing consideration stay for quite a long while. We don’t go out like we used to, and it will be a year next week. Amazing how this year from March to March has gone. I really hope to enjoy a few days in NYC. Little one and I have a great time, with more walking than I think I have ever done. Shopping and sight seeing, as though we’ve been twice now, always more to see and a few stores that we don’t have in the three malls near me.

DisneyLife, hey, how’s it going? Guess having a full house of boys is keeping ya busy. They are saying little one’s University is hoping to be in person in the Fall, but we shall see. Older one’s college has not said about the Fall, though both have said Summer classes will still be online.

Ah, steak was once again delicious. Full, as made a cheesecake for dessert, and didn’t even get the first slice. Was quite tasty, and large enough I won’t mind left over slices.

Quiet enough night, though classes still being taken online so not that quiet. A nice warm cup of tea and a small screen watching for me. Not much on, but like background noise. Should get a puzzle out to do.

And yeah,
