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

[Sue M]

Yup my thoughts exactly. My sister lives in Regina. She is currently in Arizona soaking up the sunshine and warmth there. She flew out Tuesday morning. She couldn't have had any better timing. I was hoping that there was going to be some way to shrink myself to fit into her luggage so she could take me with her, but sadly...I'm still here

It was -14 this morning Like seriously....enough of the cold temps. Then I wonder why I'm soooo crabby and cranky lol

I’ve had enough too and we’re not anywhere as cold as Edmonton! A friend of mine lives in Winterpeg and she says the storm is awful and expecting more. Roads closed.

When are y’all thinking of going to DL? My daughter is going to be attending UTLA Media College in LA this Summer, starting in late May and I’ve been asked to “deliver” her Beetle to her there. Thinking of making a side trip to Walt’s original place!

That would be an awfully long drive in a Beetle! Have you been to DL? We love it. A shorter trip for me. I get a 5 day ticket. Love seeing the original rides and even though Some are the same ride they’re different. Better imo.

 

[keishashadow]

Where was your poncho!

Don’t laugh…i always pack at least two different type….both in suitcases as forecast was clear skies.

You should see I-95 down south

Oh, i have indeed We go out of our way to not drive down I-95 south until we cut over in NC/SC. Even then, if i can fly somewhere, it’s my first choice

Did Elon show up?

He’s been a busy boy, putting together that deal to try to own the twitter-verse

I have a friend who went to high school near Cocoa Beach and he said his school would deliberately schedule fire drills to coincide with launch times so the students could watch.

That is pretty cool

And horrific accidents.

Yes, however, I nominate the I-4, going ‘west’ south of disney for having some of the goriest ones I’ve encountered.

He's actually incredibly nerdy in-person.

Guessing his self-stated asperger’s comes into play there

We did watch it on my laptop, but not the same.

I had forgotten about the delayed boom being some distance away. The cherry on top.

In the middle of the night, I heard someone say hey lynne right near my ear. DH was sound asleep, and it was not his voice, and kids were, I think, still watching or online playing, and they don’t usually say hey, nor call or refer to me other than mom, and it didn’t sound like them. Not anyone’s voice I recognized. Odd dream?

who you going to call? Ghostbusters! Lol

WOOOOHOOOOO

Good for you!

F & G offerings were the best we've experienced! DANG!

Glad somebody enjoyed them. Only thing we found to eat at both the arts festival & F/G this year were donuts. Just not our jam This year it seems

they offered ZERO remedies.

so many requested & received full refunds. Wonder if they stopped that accommodation?

we love AKL too.

One of our favorite ’homes’

And the DL system was great.

The max pass? loved it!

But I’m sure many will adapt to the new system and love it

We don’t really have much a choice. The thing that really is throwing me for a loop tho is the long lines for the decidedly non-E ticket attractions. Indiana Jones show standby has been filing up a good hour prior to show times, even standing room???

We are now the proud owners of a waffle iron

for some reason, they‘ve been gifted to us, often over the years. including disney & Star Wars ones. They are cute. IMO texture is somewhere in between a pancake & waffle. i keep wanting to try savory sort for sandwiches.

Maybe it was just a sign from mom. Who knows? I don’t believe in ghosts. Guess our minds do funny things when you are in a deep sleep and REM going on

lol.....we do the same thing!! Usually a jockey wearing purple works for me, but I just went for names yesterday......didn`t know how much I won till Tom told me.....I have no clue, but very happy!!!

I bet the name, then 2nd bet is a weird parlay or two my eldest DS tosses at me. Have yet to win on one of those but, when i do…chatching lol

That Greek restaurant never disappoints.

It was pointed out to me that we do tend to frequent many restaurants owned by Greeks, not necessarily choosing their native dishes, just that they are overall so good.

Bought a whole salmon this morning...

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly-Polly fish heads. Fish heads, fish heads, eat ‘em up, yum! I’ll be humming that ditty all night now.

When I was a kid, if I said that I couldn't find something, my mom would say "If I find it, do I get to hit you?

Mine would march me back to errant item, then say: “If it was a snake, it would’ve bit you.” Then, I’d be looking for snakes the rest of the day.

Heard back from my manager about my raise - and extremely surprised that they came back close to what I was asking for

congrats. Can’t say I’ve ever ’asked’ for a specific amt for a raise…more of they doled it out and I happily accepted it.

Nice pictures on the beach. Nice packed sand for walking.

We did walk for miles. Truth be told, not a fan of that sort sort…give me the white fluffy stuff Any day

will have to prep later this evening for colonoscopy tomorrow early morning. Yuck........this is not my first rodeo with this...LOL...There will be no sleep tonight. So naps today for sure.

Oh, dear, no fun at all. Glad to hear it went well for you.

I always enjoyed hearing about your Hawaii trips.......and Janet too has some lovely tales of the place. It`s on my list.....just not yet......

Once things simmer down, do have it on our radar again. Not sure if we would do the land trip+cruise of the islands or just split time between two of them.

A shorter trip for me. I get a 5 day ticket.

Perfect amount of time for DL. If during haunt season, swing by Knotts scary farm & U’s HHN Too.

 

[Charade67]

Where did today go? I don't feel like I have accomplished anything today. It was super slow today at work since my boss was off for the day. Then I went home and started watching an online orientation for school. I think I nodded off during part of it.

I had a good laugh this evening. I joined a Facebook group for online students of my university. Tonight someone posted asking the exactly address of the graduation venue. He was looking for a hotel nearby. We are 3 weeks away from graduation and he is just now trying to find a room???? He will be lucky if he can find one within an hour's drive. Most graduates booked their rooms nearly a year ago. I am so glad I don't have to worry about that.

I’d open a window, and does feel nice to be a bit cool while sleeping, but we don’t open our windows anytime this time of year, as not good to have pollen filled air blow into the house.

I really want to open some windows, but can already see the dusting of yellow on my car. I hate allergies.

We did 10 miles and boy do my feet ache now.....

Wow, you are going to be more then ready to walk the parks next month. I need to get out and start walking too.

I keep thinking that they will come up with a more pleasant tasting prep, but that has not happened yet.

Hope yours went well. Not fun, but a needed test to make sure to catch colon cancer and other intestinal problems early.

I don't think they will ever get a pleasant tasting prep. The last one I took wasn't awful tasting, but was kind of slimy. Thankfully my procedure went well and I don't have to do it again for another 5 years.

This will be my 4th one. Had to get my first before I even turned 40 I think the prep procedure changed some though since I did it last. This will be DH's first for hitting 50 years old.

I think I am up to 4 or 5 now. I had to start getting them early too due to my family history.

Well, missed out on the Guardians AP preview.

I am so looking forward to that ride.

Didn't do much last night. I was starting to feel crumby last night - and slept horrible. I have my first cold in three years - besides actually catching covid. Did a rapid test this morning - negative. So it's just a neighborhood cold. I might sneak away from work early today, and maybe go home and nap. Burgers are on the menu for tonight.

Sorry you aren't feeling well, but glad it isn't Covid. Hope the cold passes soon.

Glad I’m not the only one with adult children who still like to paint Easter eggs! We paint them with acrylic paints. I’m probably the least artistic. My youngest who’s 32 is very artistic. In comparison mine look like a 3 yr old painted lol!

Have you tried the shave cream and food color method?

When are y’all thinking of going to DL? My daughter is going to be attending UTLA Media College in LA this Summer, starting in late May and I’ve been asked to “deliver” her Beetle to her there. Thinking of making a side trip to Walt’s original place!

ooops…Just saw your June 2023 date Charade.

You should definitely go if you are in the area. We really enjoyed the parks when we were there for B's high school graduation trip.


Speaking of B, she is coming home tomorrow to spend the Easter weekend with us. It's had to believe another school year is coming to an end. She only has 13 hours left to graduate. I have 32.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Late night stop in. I'm waiting for the night time cold meds to kick in, so thought I would stop in. I'll turn the nightlights on for anyone who can't count sheep and for our early risers - especially those across the pond.

Changed my mind about what to make for supper tonight. I made this cheesy enchilada casserole bake with tater tots, It was delicious!!! The boys want me to put that into the rotation of meals. Super easy to whip up.

Picked up a few groceries over lunch for our Easter meal. Even got a decent sized turkey. Hit the gym as well. I had wanted to hit a certain number of times this week...one more to go and I will have met what I had planned for the week.

congrats. Can’t say I’ve ever ’asked’ for a specific amt for a raise…more of they doled it out and I happily accepted it.

My manager asked me how much I was looking for. I haven't had a raise in 4 yrs and my last raise they low balled me. I was underpaid compared to others in our area (and have been for awhile). This raise is comparable to my skillset and seniority if I was to move to a new job. My billing experience with oil & gas companies is what got me the raise - I'm the only one in the company who does this specialized billing. I am definitely grateful for the raise.

Speaking of B, she is coming home tomorrow to spend the Easter weekend with us. It's had to believe another school year is coming to an end. She only has 13 hours left to graduate. I have 32.

It's always nice to have the kiddos come home.

Well I should get going!!! Sweet sleeps everyone

 

[Lynne G]

Pumpkin, hope you are feeling much better this morning. Nice when you find an easy meal the family enjoys. Does sound delicious.

Charade, glad to hear B can come home for this holiday weekend. Little one gets no time off, but at least it is virtual class today, and her only class is the one you have to turn in your work by midnight tonight. Yeah, I’m sure her university will have lots of traffic and filled hotels with the May graduation coming up. At least when she graduates in December, we are close enough, we will drive.

Ah, stinks that my DH gets 3 hours off today. Me? Nope. Well at least it’s always my shortest of the week day routine hours by an hour, and a half hour longer lunch.

Mom, do you know brother turned the AC on? Yeah, was wondering why was cooler feeling yesterday morning. But as 45 degrees out, was thinking of turning the heat on, but since a gloriously sunny day predicted, with 70 the high, I’ll leave it on. Tomorrow, copy of today’s temps, but to be cloud filled. And going into the low 30’s tomorrow night, so will change it to the heater by mid afternoon tomorrow. Mother Nature is making that poor bunny shiver. Blustery and barely 50 degrees the high predicted for Sunday. Hot chocolate with the chocolate.

And so, not much, but already having that fabulous Friday feeling. Yay, holiday weekend coming up. Family time. Yay!

So hope all are going to have, or having a fabulous Friday. Oooh, with a cool feeling inside, more tea. And hehe, maybe a little piece of that chocolate we are bringing as part of our share of the meal. See, my family always helps the host with parts of the meal. I tend to like to be the one bringing desserts and a side. Ooh, and with that chocolate piece, did make blueberry muffins last night. Hehe, what a breakfast.

Yay, so far a Good Friday morning for me, hope yours has been or will be too.

 

[macraven]

Pumpkin!

Wow!!
Great news on your raise
You deserve it !!

 

[macraven]

We had our booster shots yesterday afternoon so now we are done with #4

Felt great last night but this morning not so much
Have a 7:45 doc regular eye visit so a bit of a busy start day for me

Trying to think what I need to pick up at the grocery after thr doc visit today

May will do a blt dinner tonight

 

[schumigirl]

Good Thursday morning everyone

Once you have done a few you know what to expect. The prep is worse then the procedure for sure.




I watched it and really enjoyed it. He is really a intelligent interesting young man.



I keep thinking that they will come up with a more pleasant tasting prep, but that has not happened yet.

They give Propofol so you are in sleepy land and then wake up after the procedure. That is nice. So now the procedure is easier then the prep.

My GI doc is one of the nicest doctors I know. I keep telling him never to retire, but I know he will eventually.

Slept a lot yesterday morning after getting home.



but what the heck is with the " little house on the prairie flour sack type dresses " Just no....nope nope nadda not happening.

I’am not sure if I have seen those type of dresses.





Hope the back is feeling better. Yep, those projects that used to be easy when younger do get after the joints and muscles as we age.




LOL.....that’s what hubby calls it.




Hope your sons mouth doesn’t hurt to bad after his braces are removed.

I used to dye eggs with son, niece and nephew when they were younger. Good memories.

Have fun.




Hope yours went well. Not fun, but a needed test to make sure to catch colon cancer and other intestinal problems early.



You always educate us on information relating to your various chicken varieties. I didn’t know there was a chicken with feathers on its feet.




Congratulations on finding a car. The lots in Florida and around this area of Southern Indiana have slim pickings.




Wow, sounds like you have a wonderful trip to Hawaii planned. It’s been 35 years since hubby and I were there. We have very fond memories of that trip.

Have a wonderful time.


Lynne hope the tea is tasty this morning. My HHN coffee cup is full and delicious.

Mac hope you were able to get your appointment for the oral surgeon sorted. I’am sure you would like to get your dental work over and done.

I had a wonderful visit with little J on Tuesday. It was raining so I took him to the play area at the mall. I always take bleach wipes and wipe down the little rides they have there. I keep a roll of quarters for the rides in my purse. He loves the merry-go-round. He is the happiest little fellow.


Was glad to get the colonoscopy over and done yesterday. Slept most of yesterday after I got home. Did not sleep much night before as I was prepping for procedure. Had to be at hospital at 6:15 am and was in for procedure by 7:45. Was glad to get it over early In the day and get back home.


Sun is shinning this morning. We had a storm roll through yesterday evening. Tornado warning sirens went off. We did get some strong winds, a little hail and a good down pour. Thankful no major winds as had been predicted.

We have had some severe damaging tornados come through here in past few years so when the sirens go off it’s a tad frightening.


Need to get up to my office and clean the paper mess off my desk. I also need to get to the gym and pay for early entry. I do that in 6 month increments as It gives me the option of accessing the gym very early in the morning.

I set out some filets for dinner tonight. I will grill those. Hubby will enjoy that. Need to have a look at the grill. I cleaned it before I covered it in the fall. So will give it another good wipe down before I use it this evening.


To all the Sans family who are ailing sending mummy dust your way.

For those Sans family on vacation enjoy your time in the sun. Safe passage wishes for your trip home.

Sending shout out to all the a Sans family members who no longer post or rarely post. You are missed.


Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.

Glad you got to spend some nice times with the little one...yes, wipes are essential for play areas!!

The prep we have over here isn`t too bad.....it almost tastes like warm lemonade, so not a problem to get over. But my sister and one of my best friends had dreadful stuff that made them throw it up, they just couldn`t take it. Least it`s over for another time now......hope for good results for you!!

A quick thirsty Thursday stop in!

I am glad tomorrow is a stat and I'm off!!! Not sure what I will do, but I will enjoy it for sure. The weather is still cold and yucky. It's just the time of year, we are wanting the warm weather, but Mother Nature has other plans.

Didn't do much last night. I was starting to feel crumby last night - and slept horrible. I have my first cold in three years - besides actually catching covid. Did a rapid test this morning - negative. So it's just a neighborhood cold. I might sneak away from work early today, and maybe go home and nap. Burgers are on the menu for tonight.


I love those spring flowers!!!! I see across the street the neighbor has tulips popping up as well. It brings me a smile seeing them. I am unsure what's up with my front flowerbed. I have tried to replant peonies and they have died and NOT come back the next year. There is a small hosta that comes up, any other annuals I try to plant there, don't survive. Might have to add some nutrients to the soil.

I'm going out after work today or leaving work early to hit the grocery store to avoid shopping madness.

That's the way it should be lol. That sounds similar to our household lol.

I always remind myself of that when I'm grumbling that our weather is cold. I don't like storms at the best of times...so tornados scare me.

Maybe you will luck out and be able to get on it if they are doing a soft opening or virtual cue? I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Well, I should start shuffling some papers.

Have a great day everyone!

Hope you feel better...colds can make you feel so miserable.

lol....yes, we love to give each other little gifts like that, isn`t it nice to be like that though....gifts don`t have to be expensive, just thoughtful.

Yes, Friday/Monday are stat holidays here......always feel sorry for store workers who still have go in though.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.....

Good morning! At least the sun is out, but brrrr. It was only 1c when I woke up. Sheesh. But at least we’re not in Saskatchewan or Manitoba or the Dakotas. Brutal blizzard there. The weather sure is changing. We should be in double digits by now.
Going for last minute Easter grocery shopping today. To pick up fresh produce, etc. 9 for dinner Sunday.
Egg colouring was fun! I’ll put them in a basket to decorate the table with!

Schumi the first time I ordered salmon when I was back east I was so surprised. I didn’t know it was different and had expected it to be like my west coast salmon at home! If I ever see it I’ll have to try Scottish salmon.

Charade same thing happened here prior to Costco shop! Sent my daughter downstairs to check on paper products! She said we were out of napkins so husband went down and found Costco package of them! In plain sight.

Mac sorry you didn’t get the work done but at least you had a good time lol!
Guess no steaks yet!
I need to spruce up some rooms too!

Pumpkin congrats on the raise! Good news.
This is definitely not typical spring weather here. Yuck. 1c here this morning brrr but at least it’s sunny. We’ve had so much rain.
But at least we’re not in the blizzard in the prairies!

Lynne I don’t paint rooms anymore either! Last time I tried I got frozen shoulder.

Robo that’s too bad the bus doesn’t go out to the launch pads anymore. And now have to pay for it. Seems the way now. Yes looking forward to a longer stay at SF. Last year I really didn’t get to do much except a lovely dinner with a few Sans family! Was way too busy having fun! And it’s been a few years since we stayed at PB. Although in Oct. we did walk over from HR to grab a meal at Sals.

Soniam oatmeal doesn’t seem to spike my blood sugar so I have it once or twice a week.

Pumpkin I make a good lizard! Lol. Yup I agree about the dresses, and the big puffy sleeves yuck.

Monykalyn. Oh poor chicken! Doesn’t sound good. But congrats on new car! I’m waiting on a Rav4 hybrid since August. The wait for hybrids here is ridiculous. Dealerships here don’t charge over MRSP but I’ve heard its common in the US. Nice to have an in! I’d love to drive to Florida if I ever get the dang car! But way to far for me. Maybe California!

Pumpkin -10, I guess I’ll stop whining lol!

Charade the Doby shirt sounds cute!

Glad I’m not the only one with adult children who still like to paint Easter eggs! We paint them with acrylic paints. I’m probably the least artistic. My youngest who’s 32 is very artistic. In comparison mine look like a 3 yr old painted lol!

Time for a dog walk!

Only get it if it`s fresh if it`s in a restaurant. Frozen stuff loses something.

Yes, I`m a big believer in getting decorators......or anyone to do most work around the house and garden.......getting the guy is our mantra.......lol......but I did find it quite relaxing painting at one time, but must be at least 15 years or so since I could be bothered.

Don’t laugh…i always pack at least two different type….both in suitcases as forecast was clear skies.

Oh, i have indeed We go out of our way to not drive down I-95 south until we cut over in NC/SC. Even then, if i can fly somewhere, it’s my first choice

He’s been a busy boy, putting together that deal to try to own the twitter-verse

Yep, that part of the road is one of the worst areas of Orlando for accidents. Not fun.....yes, of course they can happen anywhere, but there are certainly some specific areas known for them.

Tom does the head, tail, gutting and filleting if we don`t get one ready done for us.....I pin bone and portion it, that`s it....well, I cook it too of course.

Yep, I was pretty lucky with that horse....I wasn`t going to go with it, but last minute said put it on to win.....yahoo!!! Still deciding what to do with the money.......lol.......

Late night stop in. I'm waiting for the night time cold meds to kick in, so thought I would stop in. I'll turn the nightlights on for anyone who can't count sheep and for our early risers - especially those across the pond.

Glad you feel more valued now, no one should be underpaid.

We had our booster shots yesterday afternoon so now we are done with #4

Felt great last night but this morning not so much
Have a 7:45 doc regular eye visit so a bit of a busy start day for me

Trying to think what I need to pick up at the grocery after thr doc visit today

May will do a blt dinner tonight

BLT!! Yum.......hope you pick up soon and maybe have a nap after your appointment and grocery shopping.





A day of two halves.......we got up extra early this morning and walked as it was so beautiful, we didn`t do anywhere near 10 miles today, but 4 was enough. We came home, showered and I got some laundry on, went to hang it out and a misty dampness had drifted in from the sea and it was chilly......so dryer time, then ironing.

Had home made chicken noodle soup for lunch, it was gorgeous, and having Chinese takeout tonight.

Decided to go visit some friends on Sunday after all, couldn`t stay anti social for very long........a bunch of us will get together for a brunch and of course we all bring food as you do for a get together with friends and family. Not sure if we`ll do anything tomorrow, we have no plans.

Think we`ll settle down and watch a movie this afternoon.......no plans to go out to any shops on Easter weekend......not fun at all, so we always avoid them all.

Have a wonderful Good Friday ​

Glad they made it right for you

Felt great last night but this morning not so much
Have a 7:45 doc regular eye visit so a bit of a busy start day for me

That is a full plate for you. Glad you decided to get it. between vacation, easter & the mr’s work schedule; first day I could schedule was next Thursday. Working in a ‘down day’ for us both there.

I’m hoping the half dose of the booster this time around is kinder than the first one (full) we had. worst for me that go-round. Did u get any arm swelling this time?

getting the guy is our mantra.......lol..

That was my mantra in my early 30’s after my divorce

 

[Lynne G]

An, did that mean Keisha is back from that awesome break? Hope you are all doing well.

Hehe, a what for lunch request. Don’t know. Chick or Chinese? Think that’s my selections. Iced coffee too. Gloriously still sunshine in abundance. Good thing, as a very cloudy Saturday predicted. Walk is ready for sunglasses and no jacket. Woot! Not quite lunch break yet. Sigh.

 

[macraven]

Janet
The half dosage shots has not been any different for me
Do have the arm swelling
Still got the pounding headache hours after shot but it will pass

 

[schumigirl]

That was my mantra in my early 30’s after my divorce

lol......you got one of the best guys for sure!!!

Janet
The half dosage shots has not been any different for me

Still got the pounding headache hours after shot but it will pass

Hope it does pass soon for you, headaches are dreadful.





I`ve just eaten a clementine for the first time in about 20 years........Tom loves them, I don`t. But, it was nice enough and has not staved off my appetite till dinner......I`m trying not to eat one of the cadbury creme eggs mountain we seem to have accumulated for some reason.

They do look good

Sunshine is out, but it`s cool, will absolutely have the heating on later.

And wine tonight I think.......

 

[soniam]

@macraven I hope the booster doesn't kick you too much. We aren't in the group that's "technically" eligible or recommended yet for the 4th, so I guess we will hold off for now.

I love all citrus juice and anything flavored with citrus. However, I can't actually eat it unless it's mandarin oranges out of the can, grapefruit, or marmalade. I can't stand to eat the pith or membrane, major gag factor for me. I only want the actual meat. Grapefruit is about the only one that I can get rid of the other stuff easily. Canned mandarins are just meat. Marmalade is fine though, because those bits are so soft, cooked to death, and infused with juice and sugar that they pretty much just taste like the fruit. It's one of my few fruit/vegetables weirdnesses. Well, and incredibly mushy, stringy, brown bananas or mealy apples/pears.


Totally forgot to hard boil the eggs for decorating, so doing that now. Probably have to decorate them tomorrow.

 

[keishashadow]

We had a visitor again last night, now rehomed. He was bigger than dog. Glad to
See him run out of cage away from us.

coffee too. Gloriously still sunshine in abundance.

It’s very windy but mid 60s & sun is brightly shining. Shrimp here as Good Friday. Got my pumpkin pies made & cooling for Easter. Think they taste better after a day or so

Hehe, a what for lunch request. Don’t know. Chick or Chinese? Think that’s my selections.

The half dosage shots has not been any different for me

Haven’t had a half one yet. Do have GD gymnastics meet 2days later. Will just tough it out as I promised. have yet to see one this year as covid restrictions to one parent only. This will be the first meet it’s open to all, finally!

ve just eaten a clementine for the first time in about 20 years........Tom loves them, I don`t

Hehe, we get those visitors every night, Keisha. Why my neighbor’s chicken coop had extra strong fencing and red lights that blink all night. I guess to help scare those critters away. Why we keep our trash can lids tightly shut.

Hope headache goes away fast Mac. Nice to be the most protected from the 4th shot.

Chinese food lunch and walk were both perfect. Skies like this?

Yes please. That most perfect temp, not too hot to walk, and rock those sunglasses.

Almost time, why afternoon crawls when wanting to turn off screen.

Friday night will be a little one and me time. DH got off early, so off he went. Older one works until the later evening, so whatever we have for dinner, I usually make more than we eat, to leave for him.

@macraven I hope the booster doesn't kick you too much. We aren't in the group that's "technically" eligible or recommended yet for the 4th, so I guess we will hold off for now.



I love all citrus juice and anything flavored with citrus. However, I can't actually eat it unless it's mandarin oranges out of the can, grapefruit, or marmalade. I can't stand to eat the pith or membrane, major gag factor for me. I only want the actual meat. Grapefruit is about the only one that I can get rid of the other stuff easily. Canned mandarins are just meat. Marmalade is fine though, because those bits are so soft, cooked to death, and infused with juice and sugar that they pretty much just taste like the fruit. It's one of my few fruit/vegetables weirdnesses. Well, and incredibly mushy, stringy, brown bananas or mealy apples/pears.


Totally forgot to hard boil the eggs for decorating, so doing that now. Probably have to decorate them tomorrow.

I hear you. I am the most annoying person on the planet when peeling then and I can sit for an age taking each and every last piece of pith off before I eat it. Tom sits and watches me with increasing humour and and irritation at the same time. He just eats them taking off the worst of the pith. I don`t like canned fruit and only eat fresh....I remember canned fruit as a kid and hated it as it all tasted the same. I do love marmalade though, weirdly Tom hates it.

Have fun decorating the eggs......

We had a visitor again last night, now rehomed. He was bigger than dog. Glad to
See him run out of cage away from us.


It’s very windy but mid 60s & sun is brightly shining. Shrimp here as Good Friday. Got my pumpkin pies made & cooling for Easter. Think they taste better after a day or so

Tom has gone to pick up the Chinese.......I`m fading away while I wait tonight.....

Quick stop in!

Eggs are boiled (thanks instantpot) floors and bathrooms scrubbed down, and a strawberry rhubarb pie is cooing. Busy day so far! Heading to the gym for a quick few steps...the scale seems to like it when I do more often - go figure . We are heading out for super tonight. DH wanted to go out last night, but I already had supper started. He was talking about hitting a local pub with awesome bbq.

Eggs will be colored tomorrow probably - unless we do it tonight when we get back from our meal out. Youngest Ds has the early shifts all weekend, so he is early to bed. Dh and other ds are working today. There is a project at work that needs to be completed. Dh is putting the tools on (he hasn't done that for over 5 yrs now) and I'm thinking he will be tired and sore when the day is done.

Got the text from Taylor -Orlando informer of the dates for the next meet up. Gives me more things to ponder.

Well, my floors are dry now, so it's time to head to the gym!

Maybe I'll check in a little later.

Have a great day everyone!

Quick good evening post. Nothing exciting for today. I paid bills, washed clothes, and cleaned the house.

At least when she graduates in December, we are close enough, we will drive.

Sadly, we don't have a commencement ceremony in December. Anyone who graduates fall semester has to wait until May to walk.

I`ve just eaten a clementine for the first time in about 20 years........Tom loves them, I don`t.

That's something that I rarely ever eat, but happened to purchase a small bag of them recently. I like how easy they are to peel.

So cute. Too bad they're also vicious.

We are planning on going to see the latest Fantastic Beasts movie tomorrow, so we are rewatching the second one tonight to refresh our memories.
