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

[Lynne G]

Woot, live from Keisha reporting. Glad you had a great time so far. Nice score on view and ride.

Robo, the plant is called Spice Baby Viburnum. The flowers smell nice, and when fully grown, about 5 feet tall. She put them along a fence she wants to have color in front of. Supposed to be not of interest to deer. She has a problem with deer enjoying her garden, and they get close to the house, they don’t care if even on the back deck.

Yay for Charade doing some shopping for vacation.

Hmm, was asked what for dinner. Did pasta for lunch, with salad, as more like a late brunch, yeah 2 pm one. Slow starting adult kids in my house. Have no idea. May go out and get a steak. The grocery shopping this morning did not get any meat. Or may just throw some chicken on the grill. Not really hungry as did stop by the soft pretzel place and brought home warm pretzels. Sipping some tea, as while little one says house feels warm, I don’t think so.

Have that super Saturday night homies.

 

[keishashadow]

am feeling alright and no real serious symptoms yet. DH and the boys are now quarantining and go for testing tomorrow.

Aw, sorry to hear. Hang in there! Let the family baby you

Keisha is off for fun going to Disney for vacation and her weather looks solid.

3 weeks from today.
Yikes. Hope it didn't get too far out of hand.

Soon for you!

Something I never expected to see in WDW or anywhere else for that matter. Larger group baiting a small family, repeatedly for observing the signage on floor re social distancing.

Definite racial undertones, the word that should never be uttered, was. The man it was addressed to then, literally, lost it then and took a swing at the antagonist.

Glad I had no kids along to witness that spectacle

 

[Lynne G]

Ugh, Keisha. Just because in a theme park, no need for such behavior anywhere. Glad no kids watching adults on bad behavior. Shakes head. People should be kind to each other.

And so, chicken it was. Some with mashed taters, some in a roll with tomatoes and lettuce, some in a taco, with bacon, lettuce and tomatoes, and I think he put some ranch sauce on it or maybe he did not. Then an evening walk down the street for some sweet. Guy opened a gelato place last year. Makes it every day, so you never know the flavors, though he always has vanilla and chocolate. I had strawberry lemon. Mostly tasted only the strawberry, but was just the perfect not too sweet treat.

And now a more quiet house, but for the kids talking with their online friends, online game playing, and DH is passed out in front of the TV. So, little screen viewing for me, then bedtime. Had my last cup of tea, and my pajama on, as bed time now not far away.

Light left on, so all can see if a loo need or refrigerator need it be in the wee hours. Good Night homies.

Night Owls, time to post.

 

[macraven]

I thought everyone sat up late on a Saturday night..

 

[Charade67]

I’m still up.

 

[macraven]

So don’t go to bed before midnight...
You need to be in training for late hours as your trip is this month

You’ll be going from eastern time zone to Pacific time zone

 

[Charade67]

You’ll be going from eastern time zone to Pacific time zone

I’m just going to Orlando

 

[macraven]

I’m just going to Orlando

Oops sorry
Thought you had another California vacation for this year

 

[Charade67]

Oops sorry
Thought you had another California vacation for this year

Not this year, but I do want to go back to Disneyland some day. They will be opening the new Avengers campus soon.

 

[macraven]

I used to think I wanted to fly west and do Disneyland.
Now I don’t think I ever will get to there.
It’s not a solo trip I could handle.

Last time I went to California was eons ago
Traffic was not as bad back then like it is now

We have a prediction for a couple of days of rain this week
It will keep our temps down.
I’m not complaining about that.

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all. Yinz guys stayed up late & slept in eh? Lol

Up with the birds to grab a boarding group for RoTR, best one ever. Pressure is off lol

DL just opened for locals. Hope they soon are able to open it up to all. It’s a special place, have enjoyed our visits Toss in Vegas & it ticks off multiple boxes lol. Have driven in the latter, would never bother in LA, traffic just too heavy for our tastes

Them dropping the APs & rumors re legacy sort of purchase thing going forward (possibly with WDW following suit) is disconcerning We rely on having an AP in WDW.

had sticker shock seeing price of DSs PH for September. 4 day (6 with the 2day free promo at least) was just shy of $550.

 

[macraven]

Ouch for that price!

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh that price should be an AP. Have lots of fun today Keisha. Yay for getting that boarding group number.

Glorious sunny start, and most of the wash has been done. And a proper Spring day, as 82 the high temp. Still sleeping kids, but DH just went out to mow grass. Think it’s late enough in the morning.

And so, that typical Sunday routine for us, trash goes to the curb and all ready for week day routines, well older one finishes up his classes and little one has her last final on Friday. Then lazy week days will be their routine until the summer. Seems summer camp is a go this year. It is a beautiful large camp, so I think they can even eat outside. I think I remember before they built the cafeteria, the kids ate in an open tent. Not many times the kids need to be inside, so with the adults most likely all vaccinated, I guess they have enough kids that it makes sense to have the camp this summer. And a woot! As NYC trip is just two weeks before that summer work starts. Camp always runs from last week of June to second week of August. So little one should get a week before back to her university routine. She is highly thinking about commuting too. At least a train monthly pass or set of tickets, with home room and board, should be cheaper than if she rented down there, and I gave her weekly money for food and a few train tickets for ride home. She has until July to make that choice. Most rental places go from beginning of August to end of May. School has said in person classes, but we will see if virtual still in place for all or some. As far as said, older one’s college has not said they are opening the campus for in person classes, so I can see him still being virtual at least this Fall semester. DH and my work has said, while not saying yet, may be seeing the start to all coming back this Fall.


Just thankful we still limit our inside store and mall time and still not comfortable dining inside. With this nicer weather is not uncomfortable eating outside. And many places now have tables and chairs outside, some with umbrellas or open tent like, so no sun, and maybe no rain falls on you while chowing down. Though where the sun is, may still have some tables still in the sun for a period of time. Many also have lights and heaters spread among the tables. We are permitted indoor dining, limit on number allowed in, still in place. There are some places we are looking forward to eating inside. Those, we found, takeout food is not their forte, and so we will get there to eat one of theses days, just not later, not sooner.


Ooh, know Schumi is not a English football fan, but surprised to see my news is showing protesters are inside the stadium, messing up the pitch, breaking camera equipment, and taking other things in and around the field. I understand protesting, but outside in the streets, being peaceful with no damage, should be the way to show support. The last afternoon game may be delayed or cancelled. Game to be in 20 minutes. Sad, I understand the need to show owner dislike, but game should be played without disruption. Seems doubt game will be played, or at least not as scheduled.

Ooh time to see if kids are up, and DH got out of shower, as was stinky smelling from the mowing and ground clean up. Time for brunch or a second breakfast.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Paris, good to hear sales are doing okay. Say Southern real estate is a sellers market and many going cash sale double the asking price. Good luck you get great offers. And yay for second shot. Mine is in a few weeks, and also hope no side effects or just the soreness I also had in my arm, as the only I felt.

Such a good day so far. Went for a walk, shorts still on, as a bit cool feeling, but with the bright sun, such a beautiful Spring day, even with the high being 63.

Thank you! Lots of action so far!

Lori... did you buy a lot of the sausage while in Alabama?

nice countdown pic charade!

Yes, I bought 4 packages for home! Made a batch of red beans, rice and conecuh while at the condos. Such good stuff!

Hey all checking in, having great time. Rope dropped MK & Polished off everything we wanted to do before noon. Did see a slap down fight in buzz lightyear over social distancing disturbing

Room view, the upgrade I politely declined from
Avis-a tank, had our own boat to MK!
Take care all

I would have taken that in hot second, lol! I love big tanks!

Happy Saturday!

We were going to go see a musical at the university today until dh realized that he bought tickets for next Saturday. So instead we decided to do some vacation shopping. We picked up shampoo, sunscreen, and other things needed for the trip. Dh also bought a couple of swimsuits. We also dropped off some storage containers with B so she could start packing up her dorm room.

3 weeks from today.
I have 2 apps on my phone. One is for Disney and the other for Unoversal.

Hope the sales go quickly and smoothly.

Awesome

Yikes. Hope it didn't get too far out of hand.

Hope those 3 weeks go fast! 4 weeks and 1 day for us!!

Love warm soft pretzels....with gooey cheese and maybe some mustard...yes, please!

Bad behavior is ugly to witness. And extra sad at a destination filled with kiddos. Hope the remainder of trip is without issues.

Fully support peaceful protesting....
ruining property and the subsequent violence that seems to follow is unnecessary, and takes the focus away from the reason for protesting.





The Kentucky Derby party was a good time! My horse won $45. Not big stakes, all just for fun...
Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a very long time. It was so nice catching up! I laughed until my guts hurt....such great stories from years past!

Mostly a work around the house type day, DH and I have some chores to do. I'll take the dogs for a walk since the weather is perfect today, and looks like rain for Monday.

We are thinking of going out to supper tonight. Our 24th anniversary is tomorrow, but Monday isn't an ideal day. Many restaurants are closed on Mondays, and DH gets back into the workweek mode. So tonight makes more sense. We will decide a bit later on...

Time to empty the dishwasher and see if the laundry is ready for the dryer.
Have a restful Sunday!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Anniversary, Paris. Yeah, we celebrate on day if can, if not, another day. Enjoy dinner out. And must be laundry day. I think I’m done, but not sure if kids have any to wash. I always enjoy a fresh washed towel for my shower, and sheets have been changed. Hope to be a restful day as well.

 

[schumigirl]

Quick drive by......

Glad you won at the Derby Lori, enjoy dinner if you go out tonight and Keisha has a lovely view.....nice!

Rain is back here and tomorrow although a Bank Holiday, weather looks not very nice to say the least. Glad we have no plans......

Skies are pitch black with cloud heading in from the sea....very ominous looking.

About to put tv on and watch final episode of Line of Duty tonight.......looking forward to this one, hope it doesn`t disappoint.

 

[macraven]

Lori celebrate two days for your Monday anniversary!
Today and tomorrow sounds good to me.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick stop in!

Feeling better today. Friday and Saturday I felt horrendous. Horrible migraine with fever/chill periods. That finally broke late last night. Today I'm weak and light headed. But I did shower, and spend some time sitting outside enjoying the sunshine we have today and spent some time working on a paint by number the kids got me for xmas. NO better time to do it than while quarantining and watching FireFly Lane on Netflix.

It’s officially May. I can finally say I’m going to Disney this month.

That is soooo exciting!!!!! The days will fly by now.

Up with the birds to grab a boarding group for RoTR, best one ever. Pressure is off lol

DL just opened for locals. Hope they soon are able to open it up to all. It’s a special place, have enjoyed our visits Toss in Vegas & it ticks off multiple boxes lol. Have driven in the latter, would never bother in LA, traffic just too heavy for our tastes

Congrats on the boarding group score. That's a pretty hot commodity.

Happy Anniversary for tomorrow. I hope you were able to get to a nice restaurant for a great celebratory meal. Good luck with the sale of your condos.

Lynne...it sounds like your plans are starting to come together. It's great that the summer camps are going to open this summer. It is time for some regularity of life to come back again.

@schumi....I hope that your dark skies didn't last too long. We are supposed to get some rain tonight. I know we are needing some here. I am just glad to see the trees start to bud and show a little bit of green.

Well....I think I'm going to find another series to watch on netflix. Not sure what yet....or watch something on Disney+ on the laptop. No smart tv in the bedroom - so I'm stuck with what our cable provides or whatever I can stream on the laptop.

Take care everyone!!!! I hope to check in again tomorrow.

 

[keishashadow]

Waiting for the electrical water parade has to share my dream car in the parking lot today! Also, another great meal at bonefish, crab cake appetizer scarfed down before I could take a picture lol. wish we had a close location at home
Also, two nights in a row appears firework testing in Epcot



Jamie happy anniversary tomorrow!
Pumpkin Aw sorry you’re fighting it off. Get well soon

And a woot! As NYC trip is just two weeks before that summer work starts. Camp always runs from last week of June to second week of August.

Sounds like a good plan of attack to me

The Kentucky Derby party was a good time! My horse won $45. Not big stakes, all just for fun...

We got seriously hosed, as one is won’t to do with exotic bets. Had fun tho in the process

Lori celebrate two days for your Monday anniversary!
Today and tomorrow sounds good to me.

Another good plan!

 

[Lynne G]

Glad you are feeling better Pumpkin. Hope you find something good to watch.

Ooh another recap from Keisha. Glad to hear having good food and fun times. Enjoy that warm Fla sun. We luckily had 85 degree day. Ah, nothing like now paying for the AC and not the heater.

Trash has left the house, awaiting pick up tomorrow morning. Trash trucks tend to start to come around by 7:30am.

Hope all have a good night’s sleep. That marvelous Monday feeling coming to you tomorrow.


Yeah, I keep switching channels tonight. Getting close to my bedtime.
