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

[soniam]

@macraven We sometimes go out for Valentines, but we haven't been going out much to eat since covid. We will probably get togo food. DS's 16th birthday is tomorrow, so we will be celebrating at home this weekend, just us. Getting him balloons (he still loves mylar balloons), a cookie cake, and making pizza; he loves my homemade pizza. I got a bottle of champagne for DH and I to have, and I might get some chocolate covered strawberries. We are going to attempt to make Toothsome's Wicked Cherry cocktail at home too. I also found a recipe for Epcot's Garden Grill cinnamon sticky bread. Lots of garbage this weekend, and then back on my diet on Tuesday.

 

[macraven]

You are a great mom Soniam!
He is going to love the balloons and birthday celebration

A very happy birthday for him tomorrow!

Hope all are doing well and surviving the roller coaster weather here in the States. Back to 60's,then freezing over weekend, then 60's before possible snow again next week. Had nearly 10 inches here-finally getting most melted. Chickens did NOT like white stuff. Finally had to coax them out yesterday with mealworms-of course one thinks she can actually fly over icky white stuff-nope-crashed into fence, landed in snow drift. Had to rescue her as she didn't know what to do. Dogs OTOH-in/out/in/out. Have doggie doorbell and the florida dog knows how to work it and she loves the snow.

Hubs and son got hit by red light runner couple weeks ago-both fine but car totaled-anyone try to buy car now? yeah not recommended-NONE around for non ridiculous price. Hubs found a decent one online-in California! um we live in Missouri...I guess when we fly out there next month for cruise he could just drive a car back? In-laws still in Mexico so using one of their cars for now.

Been keeping eye out for rates for September for HHN. should probably just book now and adjust if rates drop. really wishing could get there for Mardi Gras (looking first weekend in April) but now with car issue not likely. And we want to add a week to Hawaii over summer so budget only goes so far...

Side note-disney DVC now is trading with our timeshare company we belong to-lots of SSR available for the fall-too bad no desire for Disney at this time. Some have snagged some AKL as well.

Stay warm! And to those traveling or there now hope you are having a great time!

Hey monyk.
I was just thinking about you!!

Happy to see you but sad to read of the car accident.
It’s scary stuff hearing that !

Thankfully cars can be replaced and your husband and son were ok
I’m sure they had pain from it but no broken bones.
Hope you can work things out for replacing the car.
It’s time consuming and a lot of work to deal with finding a replacement car
Prices are soaring for them now.


You have a busy schedule lined up for the year but what fun you will have.

i booked my stay for September a week ago and the prices I got are not the best
I usually don’t book 8-9 months out but did this time
wanted to lock my dates in
Too many newbies are booking early seems like …

I keep an eye out for when ( and if) rates drop down and adjust the reservation later.

I do enjoy reading about your chickens !
Did remember how they are not fond of snow.
Snow does not suit me either..

Take care

MIckey Mouse pretzels

Well, that`s disappointing, I was thinking something more imaginative.......lol......

You can tell I`m not a Disney person......

GET.ME.OUT.OF.HERE!!!
USO and WDW...TWO MORE SLEEPZ!!!

Any SAN'rs gonna be there!?

Have a blast buckeev.......come back and tell us how it went......

Wednesday afternoon stop in - finally.

Seems lots of little things are hitting my desk, but I'm getting them cleared off just as fast - thank goodness. Trying to stay on top of everything before next week - when the others try to cover for me being gone.

Ran home over lunch to grab a bite to eat...I seen the neighbourhood retired men are out in full force chipping the ice to create rivers and hopefully get the water on our street to flow into the gutter/thingys lol. I always giggle a little bit. They have such a great time doing this. They look like little boys with big grins on their faces as they win victory over the water rushing away lol.

Going to stop in my favorite local shoe store on my way home from work. I purchased a hew pair of what I'm hoping will be my park shoes. I should have enough time in the next few days to break them in. I have had them before, so I know the break in time is short. I wore my other pair completely out. Can't wait to get them onto my feet!


I hope your recovery time is quick. That would do me in for days!!!!

LOVING the pictures. Enjoy your time there!

I felt the same way this morning. I didn't want to drag my butt up to come to work. Our forecast is calling for high gusty winds again today - hense why my head and body felt like that. I hope your weather warms up so you can get out walking again. It is definitely a struggle when you want to go out to do it...but the weather just is not cooperating.

Yup...today is feeling like that for me too!

I've found enough things to keep me busy until now. I think I'll hit the shredding and get more of that done.

Well, I should get going and find a few more things to do yet today.
Have a great day/evening everyone!

It`s the wind that`s keeping us from walking to be honest, being right beside beside the sea, well a few minutes drive, so there`s no shielding from it at all.

And good luck with the shoes....one of life`s little pleasures is getting new shoes or boots, and if they`re easy to break in, all the better.

I kept a quiet easy day and whined to Mr Mac I was gonna die
Think he got tired of it and he went with friends for a long bike ride
Lol

Dental work has never been easy for me
Don’t know which is worse, child birth or dentistry.

What plans do you have for Valentines Day?
Do any of you go out for dinner?

We just do a card and call it a day
Years back we did make it a date night but after being married for a long time, we keep it simple now.

Hope all are doing good tonight!

Hope today is a better day for you mac, dental pain is one of the worst you can deal with.

You know how romantic my husband is mac......since we met he`s got me flowers every single Friday in life......unless we`re about to leave somewhere on a trip, so Valentine`s Day is no different......so although it`s lovely to do something special on that day, he`s (we`re) like that all year round.......awwwww..you can pass the bucket anytime.......lol......

Nope, it`s nice to keep romance alive all year round, every day.......

@macraven We sometimes go out for Valentines, but we haven't been going out much to eat since covid. We will probably get togo food. DS's 16th birthday is tomorrow, so we will be celebrating at home this weekend, just us.

I also found a recipe for Epcot's Garden Grill cinnamon sticky bread. Lots of garbage this weekend, and then back on my diet on Tuesday.

Usually we go somewhere that doesn`t have a special Valentine menu as it`s usually rubbish......but I like the sound of champagne and strawberries for sure. We have a meeting around 3pm on Monday that always takes a few hours, so we`ll grab something in the local pub, then yes, we have some champagne, cards and little cutie gifts.......always nice.

We don`t like Toothsome at all, but that cocktail would be a big hit!! Love cherries.....and for some reason I have a bottle of chocolate bitters in the house???

And for your son.....hope he has a lovely day......and the weekend you have planned sounds just about perfect!! All his favourite things sounds so good.

​

Well, the wind is back again today.......started up around 4am, so we`ll head out shopping this morning and get enough to keep us till Sunday and need to stock up on cleaning products, always like to have plenty of extra stored in the utility room cabinets. Not very exciting stuff to shop for.

Once we`re home, going to do some baking as the farm dropped some more eggs off for us......no way in heck would we use them up normally, so baking is ideal and I can drop off some baking to them in return. Always worry as she is an older lady who has been baking since she was a toddler! But, she`s always so kind about mine.....

And good news, all Covid restrictions will be lifted in England soon! Boris is going to declare along with the medical experts Covid is now going to be lived with. I don`t think he`s going to claim it`s over, but our numbers are so incredibly low now which is down to our vaccination/booster programme. There are still a few wearing masks in stores, but funnily enough yesterday about 3/4 of those wearing masks were all wearing them with their noses showing......waste of time.

We`ve kind of been back to normal for a while, we haven`t stopped eating out since we were allowed to go back to places and it has always been lovely. So, good news all round.

Have a lovely Thursday ​

Yay, MonyK post. Yeah, car prices are crazy, as is availability. We may be looking later in the Summer. Our oldest car is beat and repairs have been costing enough, time to trade it in, then get a new car. It’s value, even with the crazy used cars’ prices, still is not that valuable. But to a chop shop, it’s parts that are not so rusted as to need replacement, are worth much more than the whole. But whatever we get for it, the value to us, is it’s gone. I’m so sorry to hear of accident, right before your trip. Nice you have a spare to use while family away. Hehe, older one looked out our window, and said isn’t it a chicken on top of the coop? Why I think so. Seems it was not fond of the snow we got either. Though it’s area was shoveled mostly clear. I think it’s lived one of the longest I’ve even know a chicken to live, as it’s the sole survivor of the 8 that they had.

Mac. Yeah, prices are double what I booked early last year. I really hope they come down to where I was last year, with an AP discount. Here’s give a big hope that rates do go down significantly for our times. Still now thinking of spending a few days at the mouse before. But will lock in more, when the flights open up for September.

And so, a thirsty Thursday is here. And yep, on that weather yo-yo too MonyK. At freezing this morning, but in the low 50’s this afternoon, with a partly cloudy day. And we keep those 55 highs until Sunday. Then in the 30’s the high on Sunday, with snow. Then surely that snow will stay around, as the 5 day forecast says Monday, will surely make those hug each other for warmth. 26 degrees is Monday’s high. Brrr. But as yesterday was a gorgeous 56 degree afternoon day, little one was in shorts yesterday. I highly expect her to be in shorts today, and the next couple of days. Totally enjoying these warmer, and with some sun, and lots of sun, days.

Big Happy 16th Birthday to Son’s DS. Nice you are in the baking mode. And I agree with you. Those MM pretzels are not good at all. It was a one and done with me years ago. Have never bought one since then.

And so, that ever early start. Tea is so nice to be sipping. Particularly when I booted on, updates required. Have at it, I clicked. Rebooting was already required. Hope it’s done updating soon.

So. That thirsty Thursday is here. Drinking is a good thing. As in, tea. Yay! Oh and a good morning too.

 

[schumigirl]

Another best laid plans day.....

Woman who was due to read today in school dropped out again, so they called me and asked if I was available, I was in the grocery store so said I`d be there as soon as I could. Tom dropped me off and came back for me, so I don`t need to do it tomorrow as planned.......a free day now!

Tom had also prepared us a lovely little lunch of smoked salmon, shrimp and salad.....little things like that are every day romantic gestures that are hard to beat too. Yes, there`s that bucket again........I don`t care, we`re romantic and enjoy it!

It is freezing out there again.......not crazy enough to walk in that, although sunshine is very nice. One of my friends had been walking her dogs on the beach so dropped in to see us on the way home as she was freezing and had a cup or two of tea and some cake I baked.....dogs stayed in the utility room as they were filthy from the beach, gave them some water and they settled after a few minutes, of course they wanted in the kitchen where we were.....er, not a chance!

Got some lovely pork sausages from a butcher a few villages away from us, good old pork and leek with some added honey from their own bees. I usually hate honey, but do like it in things. Should be nice and again, very much an ideal dish on such a cold day.

Hair appointment for Saturday.....can`t wait!!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Thirsty Thursday stop in!!!

Temps are still mild ( mild for us anyways ) but the wind is still extremely gusty and gross. Seen a few items in our backyard this morning that were blown in overnight. I woke up a few times hearing the wind and wondering if we would have pieces of flashing or shingles missing. Dh reported he drove by earlier once it was light out and the roof is all intact.

Started watching Pam & Tommy on disney+ last night. It's interesting. Surprised that disney would have something that is sooooo r-rated on their streaming service. Interesting story so far.

Chatted with my youngest sister last night. She caught " the vid" My nieces (her daughters) picked it up at their dad's house. One was asymptomatic, the younger one had a tiny bit of a cold. My sister was sick...nothing horrible...and her fiance...nothing. Didn't get it. Neither did my other sister or parents who visited her because she was tested negative at first. It's just sooo weird how some people get it, and others don't.

Wearing the new shoes. Picked them up on my way home from work. So far, they feel great!

@macraven we don't tend to do much for V-day. I will some years pick up little boxes of everyone's favorite chocolates, but this year they are SOL. No chocolates this year.

We will probably get togo food. DS's 16th birthday is tomorrow, so we will be celebrating at home this weekend, just us. Getting him balloons (he still loves mylar balloons), a cookie cake, and making pizza; he loves my homemade pizza. I got a bottle of champagne for DH and I to have, and I might get some chocolate covered strawberries. We are going to attempt to make Toothsome's Wicked Cherry cocktail at home too. I also found a recipe for Epcot's Garden Grill cinnamon sticky bread. Lots of garbage this weekend, and then back on my diet on Tuesday.

Happy Birthday to you son! My boys also still love that I make them their favorite foods for their birthdays. That cookie cake sounds delicious! Have a great weekend celebrating.

Chickens did NOT like white stuff. Finally had to coax them out yesterday with mealworms-of course one thinks she can actually fly over icky white stuff-nope-crashed into fence, landed in snow drift. Had to rescue her as she didn't know what to do. Dogs OTOH-in/out/in/out. Have doggie doorbell and the florida dog knows how to work it and she loves the snow.

I have missed your chicken stories! It's great that your family had no injuries in their accident...but YIKES...that is a huge fear of mine. We have lots of red light runners here - even with photo radar handing out tickets. I'm sending you many positive thoughts for finding a replacement vehicle. The prices are stupid right now. I hope you find one that works for your budget and your needs.

And good news, all Covid restrictions will be lifted in England soon! Boris is going to declare along with the medical experts Covid is now going to be lived with. I don`t think he`s going to claim it`s over, but our numbers are so incredibly low now which is down to our vaccination/booster programme. There are still a few wearing masks in stores, but funnily enough yesterday about 3/4 of those wearing masks were all wearing them with their noses showing......waste of time.

That is AWESOME news!!!! Our province is slowly lifting restrictions. Sadly, on the federal side, it's getting messy. Even his own party is speaking out against him. The ignorance and arrogance that is being displayed is making more and more people angry. Canadians don't get angry often. It's getting messy - and that's all I will say. I just wish they would follow the science and look at what many other countries in the G7 are doing.

And so, that ever early start. Tea is so nice to be sipping. Particularly when I booted on, updates required. Have at it, I clicked. Rebooting was already required. Hope it’s done updating soon.

Hair appointment for Saturday.....can`t wait!!
[/QUOTE]
Enjoy that hair appointment!!!! I have a pedicure tonight and my nails tomorrow. Gotta have the nails done for the trip!!!! I'll be coloring the sparkles in my hair over the weekend...then I'm ready for Florida!

Well, I should start shuffling some papers. Not much on my desk today. Not sure what else I will do to keep busy today. I've pretty much got everything ready for when I'm away.
Have a great day everyone!

 

[Charade67]

Another super slow work day. I won’t complain though. If I do, my boss will give me something to type and I have the worst time reading her handwriting.

GET.ME.OUT.OF.HERE!!!
USO and WDW...TWO MORE SLEEPZ!!!

Any SAN'rs gonna be there!?

Have a great trip. Wish I could be there. I am so ready for a vacation.

Dental work has never been easy for me
Don’t know which is worse, child birth or dentistry.

For me it was childbirth. I’ve been very fortunate with dentistry.

What plans do you have for Valentines Day?
Do any of you go out for dinner?

We don’t really celebrate. We will probably avoid restaurants on Monday.

DS's 16th birthday is tomorrow, so we will be celebrating at home this weekend, just us. Getting him balloons (he still loves mylar balloons),

Happy birthday to him. Balloons are great at any age.

Hubs and son got hit by red light runner couple weeks ago-both fine but car totaled-anyone try to buy car now?

Glad they are okay, but sorry about the car. Hope you are able to find a replacement.

We may be looking later in the Summer. Our oldest car is beat and repairs have been costing enough, time to trade it in, then get a new car.

That’s exactly why I got a new car a few years ago. My old car was 15 years old and the cost of repairs began to exceed the value of the car. Hope you are able to find something reasonable.

The quote about shoe shopping is missing. I forgot who mentioned it, but it reminded me that I need a new pair. Dh is trying to convince me to go to the local running store and spend a small fortune. I think I will stick with my Skechers.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, Pumpkin doing the countdown beautifying, with nails and hair. Glad no wind damage. Hate when I hear the wind whipping around the house. This spell of 50’s is so nice, given more snow in the 5 day forecast. And loving the bright sunny day, even if no real warmth from that sun.

Oooh, yep, done. A lazy Friday it will be. And since older one is also off tomorrow, said let’s do something together. Yeah, he wants some food from a big box store.

Nice you were able to substitute for the kid reading, Schumi. Even nicer, no need to do it tomorrow. Sounds like some good food purchases, with sausage and fish.

Ah, that afternoon is crawling now. Maybe because I really want to stay outside. Lunchtime walk was very nice.

 

[Monykalyn]

quick drop in procrastination before I get to Chili cook off emails-thanks for well wishes for the boys-hubs is going to chiropractor as his shoulder is bothering him.
Chickens much happier with snow nearly gone-getting eggs again too. Nice enough now to leave door cracked for dogs, but it means i get chicken visitors too.
New chicken (&dog) story: dogs inside while i was cooking dinner yesterday-had 3 chicken visitors up on deck; Nala rang doggie doorbell but ran away when I went to let her out. So left door closed. She did this 2 more times -I think she saw the hens waiting outside the door and kept ringing the bell to let them in!! She will ring the bell for Nemo too-he goes and stands by door but if we dont get there fast Nala will go over and ring bell for him. She's pretty smart.

Stay well and safe travels to those with trips soon!!

 

[soniam]

@Monykalyn Bummer about the car. So glad your family is OK though. I was driving one of our cars a few years ago, when someone hit me and totalled the car. I actually saw him heading for me, so I sped up to get out of his way. He hit the last 2 feet of the car. Didn't even see me. Luckily, I was OK. Even then trying to get a replacement was a hassle. I decided I wanted a used car but couldn't find a manual with what I wanted with reasonable mileage and a decent price. I went to test drive a new and a used Mini. Loved the new one; it was pretty much what I would have ordered. I really lucked out. I can't imagine the hassle now.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Friday feeling it is. Still a quiet enough morning, as little one’s earliest class is later in the mid morning. Made DH and I an early breakfast, as he needed to be out early today. Then will see what older one wants to do on our both relaxing day. He can sleep later, when he knows he doesn’t need to be up early.

Ooh, puppy bowl this weekend. Never a big fan of football, so will certainly watch some of the puppies and cats on a mini football field.

What a gorgeous Friday. Still below freezing right now, but 60 degrees is the high. Yes, 60 degrees this afternoon. A day so bright, full day of sun. I will be glad to be out and about today. And rocking those shades too.

Most fabulous Friday homies.

Woot!!!
Yay!!!

 

[Charade67]

Almost Friday afternoon here. I have spent the morning doing house cleaning and laundry. If I get really motivated I might even clean my car.

Yesterday I came home to find a bill from my doctor’s office. It was for my copayment for January 13. I don’t remember going to the doctor on January 13. I called the office and their best guess is that someone accidentally keyed in my account number when doing the billing. Now they are going to have to pay back the insurance company. I know what a pain that can be.

Quiet today. I hope everyone is having a nice Friday.

 

[Charade67]

This is our forecast for the next few days. Did someone anger Mother Nature?

 

[Lynne G]

Your weather is similar to mine Charade, though 28 or 26 depending on which weather report you look at, is Monday’s high temp. And snow for us on Sunday too. Well, predicted.

Had a huge breakfast with older one. Went to the outlets and now at Costco. May walk the huge mall, as on way home.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Happy Friday Morning stop in

Gosh, I'm soooo glad it's Friday today!!!! I don't know why, but I was just tuckered out last night. I had big plans to get some things gathered, and start working on a new sewing project...but I didn't get that done. I even woke up feeling tired yesterday.

Now the toes are ready for flip flops and Florida...and they look great!. I went to a different place than I usually go to. And she did more than just a regular pedicure. It was more money...but gosh...it felt great to get all the extras....she did a fantastic job getting all the cruddies off ( better than I have done at the other places) a leg scrub, hot stone massage, great extra massage, paraffin wax and polish! My only complaint was that their set up was not the typical massage chair with the bowl sink in it. So my big complaint is that her big bowl of water got cold - with no offer to refill and warm up again. As well as, I'm a tall gal with long legs. My legs were uncomfortable the whole time as their set up was set up for more average/short people. So I won't be going there again just because of that. The gal was wonderful and did a great job, but I was uncomfortable the whole time. Not my preferred set up to get a pedicure.

What a gorgeous Friday. Still below freezing right now, but 60 degrees is the high. Yes, 60 degrees this afternoon. A day so bright, full day of sun. I will be glad to be out and about today. And rocking those shades too.

Rock those shades!!!!

Ugh....I know that one well. At least I don't have to fight and communicate with insurance companies. I just have to deal with our credit department and our actual customers/accounts. Either way...it is NOT fun.

This is our forecast for the next few days. Did someone anger Mother Nature?

I think Mother Nature is a little confused these days. We are experiencing milder than normal weather. I'm enjoying every moment of it. I have even been wearing my little summer shoes and no socks!!!!

@Charade67 It was me posting about the shoes. I usually get sketchers as well. I like their arch support in most of their shoes. The shoes I got are very similar to my sketchers, but they have a much better arch support. So far, I'm loving them. They are by Vionic...and priced very closely to my sketchers. In my book...that's a win. So far...loving the extra support. I'm still a sketchers fan!!!

Edited as I forgot my closing!

Well, I have a few things to tie up before I head out early to get the nails done today lol.
Have a great day everyone....stay safe!

Glad you`re all prettied up to head to Florida!

I`m a fan of skechers too, but their tennis shoes, or trainers as we call them. So comfy, I even got Tom into the gents ones......he likes them too. I still have to wear my custom orthotics in them even though as you say, they do have good arch support but I have very odd feet.

Enjoy your jazzing up for your trip.......love this time when you`re preparing to get away and it has been long awaited!!!




Had the nicest day here.

Got a call last night asking if we could make the Spa today as they had cancellations.......this was around 10pm last night, I immediately said yes, called my friend who I was planning to take but they had someone coming to see the horses, so Tom came with me. He is not a Spa fan!!!

But, it was lovely.......pool, couples massage and all sorts of treatments which were lovely. They asked if we wanted to upgrade to get the Valentines package for an extra $70, so we did. Lunch was already included but the upgrade included lobster, crab and unlimited prosecco with strawberries.......and the couples massage. It was a lovely day.....I sat poolside as Tom swam, but the internet was so poor, I think they do it deliberately so you can soak up the atmosphere......so we did.

I won`t go into a hot tub or sauna so we passed on them.......but enjoyed the amenities on offer. And yes, lots of prosecco........lol.......

Sun was shining but it was freezing, so nothing outdoor was ideal today, although there were some brave souls using the outdoor water treatments too!!! Crazy.....

Lazy night ahead watching a movie........up early tomorrow for my salon appointment......cut, colour and blow dry.....hair does need a good cut as it is far too long again.

That sounds like it was a perfect day!!! With lots of prosecco as well...that's just an added bonus!

Enjoy the salon appointment tomorrow!

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, those cheesesteaks, chicken and beef, were the Friday request. With sides of pickles, and potato salad, and fries for little one. Ah, a City bar menu my kitchen was.

Was a great day. Did lots of walking with no jacket. Was that nice out.

Yay, for pampering for Schumi and her DH. And yay, for salon visit tomorrow.

Quiet enough evening. All are screen viewing, with little one with her online friends, I think older one, with his too. DH watching a movie, I think. He plays it so loud, I can generally know what he is watching. None of what he watches, most of the time, interest me, so I’m watching some soccer, and then whatever show I feel like watching. Best part, the weekend is tomorrow, and alarm turned off. I know I still will be up early, as tired already. Older one has work tomorrow, but at least a mid morning start, rather than the very early ones he has been doing the last couple of days.

Have to say, I’m a Nike sneaker wearer. I guess because I hate an arch in the shoe, and I have almost narrow feet.

Ah, my tea cup needs a refill. I enjoy that pot of tea after that very filling meal.

Have a good night night homies. Sleep tight, and a light here so no stubbing toes tonight.
