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

[Pumpkin1172]

I blinked and the weekend was over

It went by way too fast OR I could use one more day off lol.

Not much happening in our little piece of the world. The sun finally came out on Saturday and yesterday. I enjoyed every moment - and even opened the windows for a bit over the weekend to air out the house. Last night I did bbq some pork chops on the grill which were delicious.

My pie(s) turned out delicious. They were easier than I had ever thought they would be. Now I know what I could whip one of them up quickly as long as it has time to cool before it needs to be eaten. Very easy!

We paid bills last night and added up the cost of our trip. It was a little eye opening....but we also did exactly what we wanted, ate where we wanted etc etc etc. With the exchange rate, it was more than we had originally wanted to spend...but we don't regret one thing we did. It was a special holiday to treat ourselves for a milestone birthday celebration. Surprisingly our meals were the most expensive part of our trip and we surprisingly only had one bad meal! We had a blast and go to see and experience so many things.

@Charade67 You must be getting so excited now!!! Sooooo close until your off and running enjoying the parks!!!!

@Sue M The pies turned out fabulous. I won't complain too much as our price of gas is a little lower here, but not by much When dh filled up my car it was 85 bucks. And my Izzy is NOT great on gas with city driving. It made me want to puke actually. I will be rethinking my trips home for lunch hours now. But I do enjoy the break of heading home over my lunch breaks. I try not to go into stores - as I will spend $$$.

Well, I should finish shuffling this pile of papers on my desk.

Have a great day everyone.

Yeah, kids waited to after lunch to get gas in my car. Waited in a long line, and said as they were pumping, price went up 2 cents more. Over 4 dollars here. Sigh. But I’m with you Pumpkin, I like traveling where I want to enjoy lunch or just wandering around a mall. Lately, we plan now where we go, what is close and hit all we need. Luckily, without commuting, less miles on my car.

Quiet enough afternoon. Saying wind gusts could be damaging, and raining now. But still warm, as 75 out. Saying tonight wind gusts 40 to 50 mph. Hoping no power loss.

Sometimes you just need to splurge a little. Especially for a milestone birthday. We have paid for everything so far with the exception of food and souvenirs. I’m going to put those on my Disney rewards card and ears more Disney dollars for our next trip.

Gas is at 3.99 here, but I am expecting it to go higher.
Crazy windy day here too.

Where is everyone?



Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[Lynne G]

Twice my phone buzzed with severe thunderstorms warnings. Eh, whatever.

Made myself some tea, and getting ready for bed.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, a Tuesday is here. A partly cloudy much cooler day, and last night, that howling wind tried to not get me to sleep. Was so dark and noisy windy and rainy last night. Heard that neighbor’s trash can blow around, but at least did not hit our house this time.

But as it’s 40 degrees out now, older one had that very early start today, so 3 of the 4 of us are already up and working. He still wore shorts, but was looking for his heavier sweatshirt. Yep, with the high not even 50 degrees, I’ll be in pants and my lightweight winter jacket for my lunchtime walk. Hoping that sunny part will be around lunchtime too.

So, have a taco or two today. Hope Mac’s teeth are not hurting now, and can enjoy that fare from Taco Bell today.

T’s today. Tea, Tacos and having a wish that all have a Terrific Tuesday. A good morning to all. Join in, the lights are still on, as until the time change this weekend, it’s still before sunrise.

 

[Charade67]

Super quick good morning before I leave for work.

Just a few more days.

 

[Sue M]

@Charade that concert sounds like something I would love! Won’t be long now Which wdw resort are you stay at? I forgot! )

Lynne wow that’s nice to get 70’s for awhile. Now back to the regular scheduled programme I guess!

Mac we definitely haven’t had our first mow yet! But did have the tree trimmers here. Made a big difference opening back our view. And had a couple of dead trees taken out.

Pumpkin glad you enjoyed your trip! The exchange rate sure is bad now. But we’ve seen worse I guess. The price of gas does make me rethink my trips around town too. .

Lynne the wind would keep me up! You’d think that neighbour would figure out they need to secure their trash bins! I think you’ve mentioned before about them blowing around.

Charade love the countdowns!

once again I’m behind, but at least don’t have 10 pages to get thru lol! Sunday night was excited to see Outlander new series is back! And of course it’s Dead night too! Been also watching The Gilded Age.
Sunday was the last of our sunshine. Back to the regular schedule of rain and overcast skies. Went for a walk with a friend and our dogs. Should have done some garden cleanup, but admit I was kinda sore from Saturday paddle. We also had BBQd pork chops!
.
Yesterday was a grey drizzly kind of day. Youngest and I met for lunch then went to see Batman. Glad we went to the theatre with recliner chairs! It’s a game changer! Especially with long movies!

Today not such a fun day. Will be at the church helping to set up the hall for a funeral. Sad story, one of our parishioners passed away. He and his wife were hiking a local trail aptly known as The Grind where he suffered a massive coronary.

Enjoy Taco Tuesday! I sorta had mine yesterday! For lunch we went to a similar Chipotle type place and I had a bowl.

Sun not quite up yet here at 6:00 but it’s getting lighter. I’ve been up since 4:00 the dog woke me up puking. Ugh. Going to be a long day.

 

[keishashadow]

Head’s up for those on fence waiting to book their flights due to the price of crude. hoping current pricing holds until SWA releases fall schedule later this month.

The mr fell in love with this reclining loveseat on Saturday, it joined us yesterday . Never had an electric one before, really like how it goes completely flat. I predict many catnaps in our futures. Always scotchguard my own furniture, the fumes. Think they changed the formulation of it, seems much stronger since I last utilized it.

don’t think my LR has been so clean since we moved in. Pulled up some carpet What is that silty sort of dust that gathers under it? Not sure if going to have our hardwood floors refinished or put down the new (laminate plank?sort) over it. Need to do some research there. At this stage, just put down a room sized rug & will live with it.

Hauled the existing loveseat to jr’s house Sunday. Our backs let us know that he will need his big friends to handle that task for our reclining sofa that he’s also ’inheriting’. It’s a good thing my LR is large enough to hold all the furniture for now.

Our new sofa recliner is coming Thursday. Had given up on the one I ordered in Oct ‘20 ever coming in From the manufacturer. Lucked into another coming into store from same company when I went to collect my deposit last Thursday.

a bit different From original, still solid wood frame & US made. Didn’t offer a matching loveseat. A chair & a half thing? Not my cuppa. Just as well, I’m not a real matchy-matchy sort as to furniture Upholstery anyway in same room As long in same color family.

Robbie - lovely pictures! Have to be fast to get that many good ones on a cell phone. We rarely take the good camera along for the ride to Orlando as so heavy with the lenses. Next time think I may try taking a video and then capturing screen shots Ever try that method?

I’m a breast cancer survivor

good for you!!!

My mum however.....you cannot eat them in front of her as she just hates the sight of them for some reason....

i just hold breath my boys don’t ‘drip’ Lol.

think we`ve been paying the equivalent of $8 (American) for years here for fuel,

yes, it’s all in the mindset. Wish i had filled up Saturday, believe it’s at least $.20 more a gallon now

Youngest ds whipped me up a sandwich to eat. I watched a little tv then was in bed by 8:00. I slept straight through until 7:00 this morning. Have the migraine hang over, but feeling much better. Not sure what brought it on...but glad it has passed now.

aw, that’s a sweet son you have there

Whipped up the filling for a banana coconut cream pie

never heard of that variety. not big on cream pies normally, wish I could muster up a good lemon meringue. I’ve had far More misses than hits, have given up since I’m the only one who eats them anyway.

I came home and colored the skunk stripe in my hair. I don’t want that showing up in vacation photos.

I’m reverse with a dark stripe. Haven’t had mine done since middle of November. DH starting to drop hints

I have a big container that I hide the holiday candy in and behind on the top most shelf in the pantry.

haha same here If i see what I like sitting out, difficult to resist. The mr’s idea of breakfast pre work is chocolate & Pepsi.

For me Batman was okay. It was a really slow start and really didn’t grab my interest until about halfway through

i’m hearing 50-50 from people. All commented it was too long for their liking. Not a Robert Patterson/twilight fan, hard to get past that for me. Think I’ll wait till it hits streaming.

DS won't eat most of it; he's very picky

i have one who won’t eat chocolate or catsup. have thought a few times about running a DNA test

The joys of old age. Most get hot flashes, but I get cold ones. And so, I’m the only one with a throw on me, the kids and DH are in shorts and short sleeves. I have pants on.

well, that is different

Waited in a long line, and said as they were pumping, price went up 2 cents more.

like a slot machine in reverse lol

 

[Lynne G]

Ugh, sick dog no fun, Sue. Yeah, they are heavy plastic rolling cans, so they place them up against their home. I guess just a place when that high wind is just right, one gets airborne. And with a Monday pick up, the cans were probably empty last night. At least we did not loose power, and I did get to sleep enough, I was rested by the time I got up.

Yay, Charade. 5 more days. Our state university has Spring Break this week. Older one has the local community college’s break in two weeks, and poor little one, no break from her state funded university. But she’s done at the end of April, and older one not until third week in May. Hope your trip has great weather and have a fabulous time.

Well don’t ya know, thanks to this cold front, a low front coming along tomorrow, bringing wet. Yes, 1 to 2 inches of snow for my Wednesday. Hope that camel has his winter coat ready. Eh, he’s probably on Spring Break somewhere warm. Sigh.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah Keisha, missed your post while I was typing and doing other. Yay for some new furniture. Love that recliner reclining all the way. Yeah, about 20 dollars higher than last fill up. Sigh. Middle class always gets the worse of inflation.

Ooh almost time for that lunchtime walk. Maybe shades? Does not look that bright out right now.

 

[schumigirl]

Charade you probably were the “young kids “
at the concert…
Did the audience sing along with the British hit
songs ?

We ended up putting the ac on this evening
Had the windows open during the day but after dinner, knew we would not sleep due to the heat

Some years our ac is on early March and some years we can hold off to end of March, or beginning of April

Had our first lawn mow in February so kind of figured ac would be on early this month

Good night homies !
Sweet dreams for all!

You have been getting some lovely temps for this time of year......and February is very early for lawns being mowed!!

Our gardener tells us he`ll be doing ours in the next few weeks, and they do look as though they need doing right now.

Enjoy using that air conditioning!!

Many were singing along. Some even got up and danced.
I told Dh that in about 20 years we will be going to see cover bands performing Prince and Madonna songs.

True.

Although they do have them now. Over the UK they have amazing venues that do 80`s weekends and although some have the actual remains of some groups, they do have cover bands for some like you mentioned. We saw an amazing Madonna cover one evening.

We paid bills last night and added up the cost of our trip. It was a little eye opening....but we also did exactly what we wanted, ate where we wanted etc etc etc. With the exchange rate, it was more than we had originally wanted to spend...but we don't regret one thing we did.

We had a blast and go to see and experience so many things.

What is this witchcraft you speak of......adding up the cost of trips????? lol.....I`m not that brave!!!

Where is everyone?

Can`t speak for everyone else, but sometimes I take little breaks to avoid the snark and other rabid babbling nonsense, otherwise I might say something I`d rather keep to myself.

I showed those pictures to Tom earlier........hmmm. He has wanted those recliners for years in one of the sitting rooms....I`ve always said no as i`d never get him out of them!!! But they do both look ever so comfy and you`ll both spend many hours in them I`m sure!!

I could lend you Tom as our furniture is moved.....and I mean everything every month. I once said look it doesn`t need doing it`s still immaculate under those sofas/units and so on.....he looked at me as though I were 5 and said that`s because we do it every month........ I was duly admonished!!!

Enjoy them both!!

Lemon meringue pie......lush...I`m the only one who likes them among us, but lots of friends like them so will make them.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Quick morning stop in!!!!

Paper stack seems to be a little light again today. Not much to do today. Have some accounts to check up on, but other than that, not many papers to shuffle around. Guess it will be a day dreaming type of day., Had another discussion last night about a trip (when crossing our fingers parks are typically a little slower) for early December - after your Thanksgiving and before the xmas rush. Going to price out some options for us. Since there will 4 or possible 5 ( if dd has her way and comes along too lol) for one last family trip, it will make it a little more pricey lol. I have a few things I can do to save a few bucks here and there, but we are also not the type to nickel and dime or do things the cheapest way either.

It was a little chilly this morning again Had to pull out the big gun coat and mittens to drive as it was just too cold to not put them on. Then again, I'm a wimp when it comes to cold weather. I am hoping that soon spring shows up and stays. I am really needing to see green, with leaves on trees, not just white, brown lifeless trees or snow covered pine trees. It's time!!!

Sometimes you just need to splurge a little. Especially for a milestone birthday. We have paid for everything so far with the exception of food and souvenirs. I’m going to put those on my Disney rewards card and ears more Disney dollars for our next trip.

And we did! We didn't bat an eye for anything. We ate some great meals, Longhorn, Outback, Joe's Crab Shack, Brown Derby, Boathouse in Disney Springs, Cocobeach Pier, Kiki's, Chil Fil-A . CowFish, We had some great meals!!!!! We had one disappointing meal at Confisco's and we wouldn't go back there again. VERY slow service, and bland blah meal with lackluster service.

Sun not quite up yet here at 6:00 but it’s getting lighter. I’ve been up since 4:00 the dog woke me up puking. Ugh. Going to be a long day.

I hope the dog feels better and it is nothing serious.

We love our power recliners! My only complaint is the opposite of the power chairs that help lift you out of them...is that it takes a little bit it time for the chair to go back so you can get out of them. Enjoy your new furniture!!!!

What is this witchcraft you speak of......adding up the cost of trips????? lol.....I`m not that brave!!!

I know!!! I was perfectly content with the account balances after we paid off the credit cards and bills. DH on the other hand, needed to know. I would rather just live knowing that we enjoyed ourselves and had an amazing holiday!!!! But I will look at some things I can use ( credit card and hotel points) to help offset out next trip a bit since there will be 4-5 of us going for one last family holiday.

Well...it is almost lunch time here. Not sure what I'm going to eat yet, but I'm sure something will find it's way onto my desk to eat lol.

Have a great day everyone!!!!

 

[Charade67]

Joe's Crap Shack,

Was it that bad?

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Was it that bad?

OH my It was actually really good!!!! We really liked it!!!! I found it to be like Red Lobster lines. They did sell a rather crass t-shirt there though, but the food and drinks were great!

I did edit my mistake

 

[Lynne G]

My kids like the fries at Joe’s. Glad your trip was some great food and fun times, Pumpkin.

Dinner for us. Said want pasta and meatballs or hamburgers. No response. Thinking maybe pasta and meatballs. Made some coffee, as not wanting tea right now.

 

[Charade67]

Hello again. Thought I would get in a post while I am waiting for dinner to cook. Nothing interesting going on here.

@Charade that concert sounds like something I would love! Won’t be long now Which wdw resort are you stay at? I forgot! )

The concert was quite fun. I don't know exactly when I became a fan of 60's music, but I have like it for a long time. We are staying at All Star Music.

Today not such a fun day. Will be at the church helping to set up the hall for a funeral. Sad story, one of our parishioners passed away. He and his wife were hiking a local trail aptly known as The Grind where he suffered a massive coronary.

So sorry to hear that.

Head’s up for those on fence waiting to book their flights due to the price of crude. hoping current pricing holds until SWA releases fall schedule later this month

I am so glad I booked my flight for September already. I used flight miles, but it's now almost twice the amount of miles I used.

he mr fell in love with this reclining loveseat on Saturday, it joined us yesterday . Never had an electric one before, really like how it goes completely flat. I predict many catnaps in our futures

We have one that we like for the most part. My favorite thing is the USB port in the side. I always have my iPad charged. The one think I don't like is how long it take to get the chair back upright. Usually it isn't a problem, but I can't get up quickly if I need to answer the door.

i’m hearing 50-50 from people. All commented it was too long for their liking. Not a Robert Patterson/twilight fan, hard to get past that for me. Think I’ll wait till it hits streaming.

I agree that it was too long. I also thought it was too slow moving for a large part of the movie.

Well don’t ya know, thanks to this cold front, a low front coming along tomorrow, bringing wet. Yes, 1 to 2 inches of snow for my Wednesday.

Snow? No, it's almost spring.

Guess it will be a day dreaming type of day., Had another discussion last night about a trip (when crossing our fingers parks are typically a little slower) for early December - after your Thanksgiving and before the xmas rush.

That would be a great time to go. Should have cooler weather.

OK. Time to eat.

 

[keishashadow]

Sue wow, talk about ironic for that poor man’s demise

Hope that camel has his winter coat ready. Eh, he’s probably on Spring Break somewhere warm. Sigh.

Then they are smarter than I had assumed

I could lend you Tom as our furniture is moved.....and I mean everything every month.

Another wow there. At this stage of the game, we are lucky to move it out once a month so I can dust somehow always a few dog toys make their way back there

it takes a little bit it time for the chair to go back so you can get out of them. Enjoy your new furniture!!!!

Seriously, it does. Hadn’t realized it. Thot to myself I better get used to heading to the powder room a bit earlier lol

We have one that we like for the most part. My favorite thing is the USB port in the side.

I knew there was one, found another today, duh. It’s nice to have a few less cords strewn about the room

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Very quiet night tonight.

I was going to head to the gym tonight and try to get back into the swing of things, but our temps are sinking again, and I finally warmed up. I was cold all day at work - even with the heater on under my desk. It is only supposed to last until Thursday and warm up on Thursday. Maybe tomorrow night I'll get there. I did go last night.

I picked up the pictures from our trip. Tomorrow I'll have to head and pick up a small album to put everything into. Not much else to do tonight. I guess I'll do a little reading and enjoy the rest of the night.

I'll leave a nightlight on for our early risers and anyone who may be having trouble counting sheep tonight. Not our best picture.of the castle...DH has an amazing one.

Oh I feel bad you didn`t enjoy Confisco Grille.....always a steady place for us where food and service are always top notch. But, I know what you mean one bad meal and it does put you off going back.

Glad you enjoyed Cowfish, one of our favourites we missed last trip......

Yes, I know Tom knows what our trips cost, I like to remain blissfully unaware....and I book everything lol.......it`s amazing what I can ignore!!

OK. Time to eat.

I think we all have days where there is nothing much going on in our lives......I`m patiently waiting on warmer weather than we have right now as are our friends I think......

We`ve enjoyed that late November early December time for 4 visits now and it is usually lovely.....we did get mid to high 80`s on most days and only the odd day felt cool, and I mean one day out of each of our trips which isn`t too bad. We enjoy that time.

Are you organised for your trip now?

Sue wow, talk about ironic for that poor man’s demise

I think I inherited my mothers cleaning gene, although I hate it....I have to get things done and Tom is worse! We`re not OCD about it though, I could leave it longer quite happily.

I can imagine finding the dogs toys though, they do disappear mysteriously at times.

Yes, don`t get stuck in the chair needing to go!!! It does look incredibly comfy though as does the other one too. And it comes tomorrow? New furniture is always fun, especially a big comfy sofa......

Very quiet night tonight.

Hope you enjoy getting back into a routine with exercise. I always admire folks who have the energy to leave the house and use a gym, especially after working during the day....takes a heck of a commitment......especially when it`s so cold. We`re still cold enough, so walks aren`t happening regularly yet for us.

Nice picture though.

​

 

[Lynne G]

Great picture Pumpkin, with the castle. Thanks for keeping the light on. Still very dark out, with the drizzling and overcast sky.



Aw, poor camel, but must be feeling sorry for little one, no Spring Break for her, and yep, with that low weather system here, snow for us today. But saying not much, except West and North of the City, rain or mix where I am. Eh, it’s 39 now and drizzling. Windy, too, so feeling colder than that cool weather degree we are at now. But the temps won’t be much better, with 41 degrees the high, and wet to be all day, with the bulk of the wet to be in the morning. And at freezing in our overnight. Sigh.

Then it’s dry the rest of the week, but with some more snow chances on Saturday, where the the temps will actually fall 20 lower as the day goes on. 7 day forecast still has a high not even 40 for this coming Sunday. Brr. But yay, next week does seem to be much warmer, with 60’s highs, and with even a 70, predicted for the ending half of next week.

And so, not much exciting here either. Routine for us kinda day. Traffic and train whistle sounds like not much exciting around town either.

Thus, this windy wet weather day for us, wishing all that you will be having a sunshine filled, most happy, wonderful Wednesday. And a good morning homies. Yay the day we say, get over that hump of a day, and woot, should be a lazy Friday for older one and me.
