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

Since Lynne turned the the porch light on, there will be no toe stubbing owies tonight !

I remembered to buy a valentine card today for Mr Mac
(He will be impressed I remembered it.)

Usually I don’t think about it until about midnight February 14

Wishing sweet dreams for all our homies tonight!
 
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!

Thanks pumpkin.....poor Tom was driving, so he had one glass early on in the day, so I of course had to enjoy it.......lol......

I do like my salon appointments........

How many days are you down to now? Must be very close......

lol......that is impressive mac! I`m picking mine up for Tom this morning, there`s a lovely little pharmacy that sells gifts and some lovely cards, so will get it before he picks me up again. I know he has mine already, he`s too organised.......




Saturday again and once again we have high winds of around 40mph and it`ll be like that all day till around midnight and same again tomorrow......we`ve had strong winds for weeks on and off this winter. I did wake up a few times during the night on hearing it.

Will be putting my hat on coming out of the salon this morning for sure.......always a nice way to spend a few hours.

Glad to see Universal finally announced that mandatory masks are gone from today, many will be happy with that finally. Although we have no masks in England, we still keep hand sanitiser with us everywhere......simple common sense and the usual hand washing. Feb 24th all our restrictions will be lifted.

Today, bacon sizzling for lunch on either white toast or brioche buns if the baker has any this morning, and doing chicken stir fries tonight for us......spicy plum, chilli garlic and pineapple for me, Teriyaki for Tom.

Enjoying a pot of tea all to myself early this morning will have breakfast later just before I leave for the salon. Rest of the day will be a relaxing and lazy one with some phone calls to catch up with some friends....

Have a lovely Saturday ☺



 
Ugh. I’ve been awake since 3:00 and can’t seem to get back to sleep. Thankfully I don’t have any plans for tomorrow morning.

I got a email from Hilton about my upcoming stay on February18. February?? It was supposed to be March 18. I booked the wrong day and it was a non refundable rate. I’ll call later this morning and see if they will let me reschedule.

In better news, B’s professor is letting her take her exam a day early (it’s an 8 week class) so we don’t have to rush to pick her up and get to the Celtic Thunder concert.


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!!!
I just bought a pair of Skechers Arch Fit. Now I need to break them in. I am jot familiar with Vionic. Do they come in wide width?

Hope you don`t get too much snow.....and glad you got the doctor bill sorted out.
They haven’t given us any accumulation totals, so I am thinking we won’t get much.

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.......
Wow, that sounds like an awesome, relaxing day. I have never been in a sauna. They make me nervous.

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.
I’m guessing you don’t wear Crocs. I don’t know how people with average feet wear traditional Crocs. They feel huge on me and I have fat feet.

Glad to see Universal finally announced that mandatory masks are gone from today,
I’m hoping Disney does the same soon.

It’s now 5:30. I’m going to try to get back to sleep.
 
Oh, I was up at 3 this morning too, Charade. Looked at the clock, as what? Used the restroom and went back to sleep until 7. So then what did I do? Hehe, like Schumi, put the fire on my filled tea kettle, and now the only one enjoying that tea. Hope you got back to sleep, and nice B had her final moved. Hope you get no fee for changing the date of your stay, and can do so.

I think that will be good news for many wanting to visit Universal, Schumi. In my state, still saying you need a mask indoors, and City’s requirement to show vaccine info to dine, has not expired either. But as time has gone on, the more I see no masks on people or people not correctly using the mask when I’m in a store. The latter, why bother? But for me, I go inside a place, I put my mask on. And from what I have seen, all workers seemed to be masked. I hope our numbers go down enough that our masking and having to carry your vaccine card requirements go away. For now, saying our return to work is scheduled end of March or early April. I guess it will be interesting, as masking and social distance required now, and may still be in place, when we do return. So area specific. But when I go to Universal later this year, will be glad the only mask may be in the airport.

Ooh that gorgeous weather is here. 48 degrees out, and close to 60 degrees is the high. Woot! And no wind even close to Schumi’s quite blustery day. But as that beautiful weather ends in the wee hours tonight. A big sigh. Snowy, and will be around freezing in the wee hours tonight. Still saying we will see even more snow tomorrow, though 40 is the high predicted, so any snow should be slushy. But ah, nothing like waking up to a full sunny morning, then tomorrow, waking up to snow. A Spring type day, and a Winter type day is our weekend weather. I guess that’s been our February. Decent enough weather, then arctic air arrivals, and many inches of snow so far. Thinking the rest of the month will be the same. Our March tends to be a bit warmer. Though not unusual, we have even seen snow in early April. But as we speed to the time change, nicer weather should be coming.

And hehe, little one will be in shorts again today. And a hehe, older one picked up these great looking boots. I’m sure he’ll be wearing them soon enough. But today, he too will be in shorts. Me? Lighter weight pants, and no jacket, short sleeved shirt too. And, as older one works most of today, will be a little one and me day, as DH already out the door to visit his mum. He won’t be back until after older one does, with older one being done around a later dinner time. So, unlike yesterday, when older one and I went out the door by 9:30 am, I highly think I won’t be out the door with little one, until at least noon, or maybe an hour or so later. And that’s fine with me. Not much to get, or that we need to do, so a much later start is fine with me. And while a big breakfast with older one, a late brunch will be with little one. She tends to strategically be ready, when the menus have already been changed to lunch. While she likes bacon, and pancakes, and sometimes french toast or waffles, she is not a breakfast food fan eating homie.

Super Sized Stupendously happy Saturday homies. Yay! The day most get to relax, including me.

I managed to get back to sleep sometime after 6:00. I turned the TV on to the Olympics and fell asleep while watching ice dancing.

I called Hilton this morning. The hotel I wanted was sold out for March 18. I was able to book a different hotel in the same area for a slightly higher rate plus a $25 change fee.

I am trying to decide what to pack for our trip. I just went through my closet and I have at least 16 Disney or Disney related t-shirts. I think I may have a problem.
 
Glad you got a room where and when you wanted Charade, even if cost was a bit more. Hehe, yeah, when you like a shirt, you buy it. I have three Disney ones, and a couple Universal. I’m not big on buying shirts on vacation.

As I grew up watching Charlie`s Angels and their ilk, I have a healthy suspicion of sauna`s as someone was invariably murdered by an assailant putting a brush handle through the door handle so they couldn`t get out.....yes, suspicious mind.

Hope you can reschedule the hotel room.



I always get a shirt when I visit Disney. Only a few of my shirts are Disney shirts though. Most are Disney related - Marvel, Muppets, etc. I found one shirt I forgot I still had. I think I got this one before B was born.

I have two Disney shirts. Well, had....first one was given to me in 2007 by a very considerate CM after some spraggy kid threw some food around in a restaurant and landed on my blouse. Very kind of her, not something I`d ever wear normally, but it saved me wandering around with the little brat`s food all over my top......

And yes, MK was deserted again too September 2007......


i-hBrMDpq-M.jpg


Other one was a red Minnie Mouse nightshirt with "It`s all about Me" on it.....lol.....I do like your Tigger one. We always buy HHN shirts every year, there`s always at least one we like......so I get why you have a lot of Disney ones.






Hair all done....blonde and glossy again.....lady was on the chair next to me who is completely white haired......she always gets blonde highlights and looks no different in the end.....she won`t be told she`s wasting her time trying to cover white with blonde. Far too chatty as well......sometimes it`s nice to just chill. But, some nice salon time and one more appointment with this young lady before my usual stylist is back from Maternity leave....she`s only taking 9 months instead of the year so back a little earlier than planned in May.

Then one of our friends txt to say the gang were meeting for lunch, so when Tom picked me up, we went home, I got changed and we walked to one of the pubs in the village and spent a nice afternoon sipping prosecco and a cocktail or two.....also lunch! Only had grilled sandwiches and shared a portion of triple fried chunky chips between us......very unhealthy but gorgeous.

We were hungry later so cancelled the stir fry and ordered a large pizza between us from a new place in the next town which was excellent and delivered in a decent time, we usually do pick up so were pleased the food was still boiling hot. So we are feeling nicely full and slothing out on the sofas tonight......

Movie coming up.......

A warm welcome home to Janet.......glad the trip was so much fun!!!

And yes, the wind is still blowing a hoolie out there........🌬
 
We were there in 2007 too. It was more crowded for us, but it was also Christmas week.

Oh I`d imagine it would always be busy at that time, but, September really was a quiet time back then......had to be seen to be believed some days.

Lovely picture of your daughter though.




Bedtime here......

Saturday night and homies have faded fast ….

Am I the only one that is still up?
:wave:

Yes, we didn`t quite go to bed then as we discovered a movie we wanted to watch......oops. So, it was a late one after all.....love a late night now and again.

Sooooo......we slept very late this morning which is always nice too.......Sunday morning snuggles!!

Shin of beef cooked beautifully overnight, with thicken juices up later for serving, and making chicken and veg soup for lunch, made the broth Friday, roasted the veg yesterday so it`s gonna be tasty! Chucking it down with rain and still cold, so no plans to go out anywhere today either. Some laundry too.

Late breakfast so a couple of slices of toast will do the trick as it`s not long till lunch.

Have a wonderful Sunday ::yes::
 
Ah, snow all over, almost have to say, pretty. It’s a hazy, 32 out start, and flurries to be seen until right after lunch.

I have no idea when older one went to bed, but at 5 am, I told little one, she should go to bed. See the big tv where she plays on, can be seen from the kitchen. Came into the kitchen for my tea readiness, though our house was so quiet, I could hear her talking, after I got up. Also, after tea starting, laundry was too. Now the dryer has the towels, so when I hear the buzz, will then have that oh so nice long shower, with freshly washed warmish towels.

Sorry, Mac, sometimes I can be watching something interesting enough, that oh my, what time is it? But last night, there was nothing of interesting enough to keep me up. That, and most of the time, my head gets me up early. Though on my lazy days, other than tea ready, I don’t do much after I get up, and take my shower later in the morning.

Well, yesterday as predicted, little one got up around noon. We were out the door and had that chicken drive through late lunch. But as that drive through is very close to a BJ’s and a Target, we did some shopping too. But as did not need much, there was not much to bring in. Then we chilled, and by dinner time, we thought, pizza and onion rings. And so, by the time we picked up, older one called, and said was on way home. Kept both in my warm oven, so I’m sure he ate most of it. DH came home hours later, and asked what we had for dinner? Nothing left over by the time I went to bed. And that’s fine, as thinking steak on the grill for dinner tonight. Our grill does have a cover, and right by the door, so waiting for cooking can be indoors. Yep, when cooler weather grilling, we do that in and out the door routine. When it’s nice out, we’d eat outside, but this time of year, our porch furniture is in the garage.

And so, that of a most relaxing Sunday, today includes the already set alarm, and trash to be at the curb by after dinner. Usually in the Sunday night evenings, you can hear the trash cans being rolled down the driveways.

So, thought I woke up smelling Schumi’s great cooking house, and may all the homies have that wonderful Sunday. And hope Schumi’s rain has stopped.

Good morning homies.
 
That’s a very sweet picture!
Lovely picture of your daughter though.

Thank you both. This was her first trip to Disney.

No snow for us. The forecast still says we are getting snow, but I haven’t seen anything yet.

We have plans for a very lazy day today. First NASCAR then the Super Bowl. We are cheering for Cincinnati since Dh once lived there and still has family there.

Hey all! Even tho the weather was warmer at home than in Orlando, hated to leave, a really nice trip. Yes, I am in a packable down jacket. If I couldn’t go into the pool, I was at least going to sit & have a cold one by it.

Not an exaggeration, had to be a thousand cheerleaders at the resort. Most of them in the rooms on either side of us.:rolleyes1

I mean, come on, why isn’t it a good idea to start to practice at 7 am outside my door? I blame the clueless adult chaperones, not those in their charge, for repeated abysmal behavior we encountered.

;) Struggled to find a suitable anniversary/Valentine’s Day present this year for the mr. Even tho he’s in several random polls, had him pick a wager & i booked online. reminds me of all the weird prop bets we made during a weekend in Vegas years ago for Super Bowl, only one that paid off was the Colts winning but, we did come out ahead lol

any plans for yinz guys today?
 
Puppy bowl watching, and made soup for lunch. We have about a bit over an inch of snow, though so wet snow, not sticking on sidewalks or roads. And it’s still flurrying furiously.

Yay, enjoying the pictures Keisha.
