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

[schumigirl]

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!

Yep, we`ll be there for two weekends in December the meet is going on....so have to consider which dates to look at. We loved the event last year, it really made for a lovely evening.

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


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


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.

Easy peel ones are nice, we enjoyed those cuties we bought in Publix last couple of trips, very sweet.





Tree pollen is very high right now, so I woke up sneezing this morning, shouldn`t be too long till it`s gone as it`s the only pollen that seems to irritate me. And the fields were all done last couple of days which doesn`t help. The fruit trees are all blooming too, looks beautiful, but not nice for the eyes and nose. Grass pollen up next, but that doesn`t bother me much.

So another gorgeous start to the day and a lovely Easter Saturday ahead.

Shrimp salad for lunch today and doing spicy chicken, pineapple and plum sauce stir fry tonight, loads of ginger added to mine, will do Tom`s seperately as he hates ginger, I love it.

But, bacon first for breakfast with some brioche buns and a lazy hang around the house day. Got some friends popping in at some point to say hello but that`s about it for today.

Thinking we`ll settle down and watch the John Wick movies tonight, haven`t watched them for a while. I didn`t think I`d like them but they were very good.

Hopefully get some sitting in the garden time today too as it looks to be very nice......

Have a wonderful Saturday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Bacon? Yay, sounds like you had a nice morning, Schumi. And sorry to hear allergies made your wake up a sneezing time. Yep, one of the times of year, pollen in the air. Sitting in the garden sounds lovely, and hope enjoyed the company of friends, if both were this morning.

Charade, I’m sure the December graduation is not as big as the May one. We shall see, as she is having trouble finding the right remaining needed classes to do that December graduation. Hope you enjoy the movie today. Mixed, and mostly not favorable reviews of the movie, but think I will try to see it too. We haven’t been back to the movies much. Last was Spider-Man. Maybe will try to get to the movies for that multiverse movie next month. Kids are potter fans, but neither has said they want to go to the movies for this latest potter movie. We did see the first two of these new ones at the movies, and have to say, liked the first one the best so far. So still a maybe.

As a Saturday of this holiday weekend, not much on our agenda. Have some bills to pay, as some of the stores are closed tomorrow, so will do the timely payments today, as oddly, due dates are tomorrow, and where I need to pay are closed tomorrow. Then that’s it. Will make a little list of what I still need for tomorrow, as with needing to be out anyway, will most likely do more stops, to get what I still need. That way, no need to get items on our way up to the family food coma and chocolates meal tomorrow. Very much looking forward to seeing almost all my siblings and their families.

No egg peeling or decorating here. When the kids were young, they always had fun dyed eggs, but as they got teens, no more. I think the most that will be seen tomorrow, will be sweet, chocolate ones. I may have sampled a few already. Hehe.

So, that usual weekend one for us, with just a couple different changes, but will still be including turning on the alarm tomorrow. And still including this very quiet morning, with tea and a throw. If I get up enough times, will turn the heater on. It’s a cool feeling inside, and a warm enough, 55 degrees out, with phone saying light rain in the next hour. But at least even with the rain, still glad the now cloud filled sky, as will be the last of the warm, with 72 degrees the high today. So no jacket, and an umbrella. Ah, little bit of a rainy day, though nicely, most of the rain chances are in the early evening.

So a good morning wish today, with that super sized satisfying Saturday. Yay, the weekend is here.

Thus,


To all of you. And yeah my wish to you all:



And, some more of the tulips that are brightly coloring my gardens.

Finally, ah yes:

 

[macraven]

Saturday, ya
Need to hit Publix today and I’m sure it will be crowded

Hope all have a great weekend!

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all, cold front went thru & took spring with it. Snow forecast off & on early next week. Least the ground warm enough it shouldn’t stick

Eggs are boiled (thanks instantpot) floors and bathrooms scrubbed down

I am still shocked how nice they come out in air fryer, fluffy middles lol. Didn’t know HB eggs could have those. I need to make 2 doz for tomorrow. Will do the old fashioned way there I think.

GD already did her eggs a few weeks ago. However, they cancelled trip for this weekend & will be here instead for dinner. Will be first time ever my middle DS won’t be here for Easter, as working with other DS on the football thing in ATL.

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

Is it the first 2 weekends? We were considering working in one of them as already have DVC booked starting 12/4.

when does the hotel block typically go on sale? Does that happen via link after you purchase the tix?

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

They tend to follow that here too. many stay on & try to flush out a dual major if they have enough credits in place to swing it.

So cute. Too bad they're also vicious.

I worry re rabies. the wild ones that do aren’t hard to spot…first too friendly, then they start to look as tho they are molting…look drunk…then look out…

Thinking we`ll settle down and watch the John Wick movies tonight,

haha after watching those blood baths might need to shower again.

I may have sampled a few already. Hehe.

Quality control at it’s best. I bought a bag of Reese’s Easter eggs yesterday. these wrapped individually in foil but easily 2/3rds smaller than the last ones I bought. Not sure why I’m surprised their regular candy seems to shrink every time I decide to cheat & grab one out of the mr’s candy bag.

Need to hit Publix today and I’m sure it will be crowded

grocery store on a holiday weekend is comparable to the action in said john wick flicks lol

sounds as tho you’ve regrouped from the covid booster‘s effects - yea!

Have fun....hope the store isn`t too busy......we`re avoiding all stores this weekend, although everything is closed tomorrow anyway. Made sure we were well stocked up for the weekend......

Dec 2 & 3 and also Dec 9 & 10 this year for the OI event Janet......

lol.....yes the Wick movies are a lot. I didn`t realise it till much later, but the restaurant we went to for my altered 50th birthday in NY after being delayed due to a hurricane in 2017, well the steps to the restaurant are the steps to the supposed hotel in John Wick. They were very distinctive but we never took a picture of them. It was called Haru Sushi, not sure it`s still there of course, but it was very good.

Piece of useless trivia there Janet.........





I love my friends!!! Two popped in for a cuppa this morning and marvelled at how I was cleaning all the doors in the house and the woodwork.....yes, well, it`s got to be done, but they reminded me it was the Easter weekend and not the most glamorous of jobs........pah......I don`t mind being teased.

They had their cuppa and headed off to visit their daughter and spend the weekend where she lives.

Decided to bake an Easter cake after all....I wasn`t going to bother but someone said it had been a while since I`d made one, so I`ll make 2 and take one to the brunch tomorrow, going to be about 20 of us, thought it would be less, so that`s nice. I`m not the best at decorating cakes, but will make it simple.

Then plan to sit out for a while.........

 

[Sue M]

Good afternoon! Lunchtime here but not particularly hungry. Just a little peckish. Maybe an apple and some cheese. I have some Ambrosia apples. They‘ve become my fav. Or Envy. Very similar.

Soniam I hate mealy apples too.

Mac hope you’re feeling better. They’ve started 4th booster here to for 70+ age group. Then they’ll start going down the age groups. I definitely want it before I travel to Universal in Aug. My friends husband has the virus. They returned from NYC last Sunday. So far she hasn’t gotten it but we’ve had to postpone her birthday luncheon this Tuesday just in case she does have it but asymptotic. And another friend was recently at a celebration of life and 5 came down with it. Ugh.
Fortunately the only side affect I’ve had is a sore arm.

The sun is finally out, partly anyway. I’ll take it! It was very cold waking up, just 1 deg above freezing (celsius) but it’s warming up. Today is the lull before the hordes descend tomorrow. It’s hilarious that my daughters in their 30’s still like hunting for their eggs! So tomorrow I’ll have to hide eggs! Maybe after we come home from church.
Having Turkey and ham. Picked up hot cross buns this morning.

Glad I booked my Aug flights a few months ago. Went online this morning and wow have they gone up!

I don’t see my smile icon? I recall others saying they’re back?

Happy Easter and Passover everyone!

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, they are back Sue. Hit the little 3 dots after the little picture looking item on the top of your screen. Those cuties are the first choice when you click on the 3 dots.

Bills paid, lunch at Costco, gas tank filled, and oh the traffic! All the crazies out too. So it’s now, chilling time, and was a nice feeling day so far. But do have that jacket ready for tomorrow. Like Keisha, crappy, cool weather for Easter. I want those 70’s degrees days to continue, with those blue, biue skies.

Yeah, Sue, my September flights are much higher then I booked at. Guess all want to travel now. Our airport parking lots are full, so they are warning to either have a drop off or ride the rails, and get there 3 hours early, given the crowds they are seeing. Hoping our August flights are not as crowded when we go. Usually, my September flights are not too busy at the airports, and I get pre check, so never have waited long for security.

Ooh some sweet tasting tea. The last of what my sister gave me for Christmas. Very cute tea tin she gave me, so I’m going to wipe it out and keep it.

That made me smile......yep, all of my friends and I still do the boxes of chocolate easter eggs hidden around the house regardless of our kids ages......I think all of the adult kids half groan but half love it......all good family fun!

Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow....




Stir fry was lovely, full of ginger which Tom loves the smell of, just not the taste.......

And weirdly, a few of our friends and our son are out enjoying their works Christmas night out tonight.....better late than never!

Looking forward to the friends brunch tomorrow, still doing our turkey dinner later in the day but we won`t eat too much in the morning so we`ll still enjoy it.....she makes lovely mimosas......preferably without the OJ for me!

Taking range of muffins I baked tonight, my rather odd looking personally designed Easter cake.....sent them a picture....they laughed and said well it`ll be a talking point.......lol.....rather scary looking easter bunny on top!!

And tomorrow is going to be gloriously warm in the 70`s.....for US.....that`s good....not mac warm weather as she gets the best weather, but we`ll be happy with that....summer dresses time!!!

Watching Pretty Woman....need some light relief after John Wick and enjoying a starwberry daquiri or two......

Thanks Lynne! Didn’t know about the dots!

I think rising gas rates are having a big effect on flight costs. I have Nexus, which gives me pre check. Both by air and land. Handy for those cross border day trips And great for getting thru MCO! Can have crazy long security.

 

[keishashadow]

I also am surprised at the fall airline prices

Two turkeys cooked & ready to slice down tomorrow for dinner. Did lots of side dishes/prep work today as didn’t want to be chained to kitchen as the norm. Baskets are all made. Bubble bath is calling & maybe a tropical drink as I’ve pineapple juice on hand from draining cans for ambrosia

Piece of useless trivia there Janet.........

More the merrier, it pretty much sums up the contents of my brain

Thanks for the OI dates. Either weekend could could work for us

Other than perk of fewer guests in the parks, I do find myself questioning whether it’s a must try sort of thing?

Reviews seemed to be all over the place as to food offerings

Also, wondering how pop Warner crowds might bump up either weekend’s attendance at U…possibly negating the on-site EP advantage
Picked up hot cross buns this morning.
I didn’t see any when I was out on Thursday. Made blueberry muffins instead lol

rather scary looking easter bunny on top!!

Im sure it’s cute. youngest DS asked me to order him a cake for his gang’s Easter get together.

 

[macraven]

I had my smilies back for over a week ago
And did see quite a few using smiles same time I got mine back working

Trying to figure out what 3 dots Lynne mentioned

Tv js so boring right now that I have college f ball on

 

[keishashadow]

See the circled dots? Select, then click the happy faced smiley

Wahla

 

[macraven]

See the circled dots? Select, then click the happy faced smiley

Wahla

I just went a few days and my smilies were available then.

I have read some are just now able to use the smilies
Thought all would have usage of them at the same time

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I had planned on posting earlier today, but we ended up being out longer than I expected. We got a late start today (after 12:00). We decided to change cell phone carriers and also upgrade our phones. We all have nice, shiny, new iPhones now. Next we went to the mall for a late lunch and movie. We were supposed to be at the 3:30 show, but they were having problems with the projector. We decided to wait, hoping they would get it fixed, but by 4:15 it still wasn't working. They ended up offering us either a refund or to be moved to another show. The same movie was showing art 4:30 in a different theater, so we just opted to move.

Charade, I’m sure the December graduation is not as big as the May one. We shall see, as she is having trouble finding the right remaining needed classes to do that December graduation.

I hope she is able to get the classes she needs. I am having difficulty finding free electives. There isn't much offered online.

Morning all, cold front went thru & took spring with it. Snow forecast off & on early next week. Least the ground warm enough it shouldn’t stick

More snow? I forget, what state do you live in?

Glad I booked my Aug flights a few months ago. Went online this morning and wow have they gone up!

Same with me for September. I used flight miles and am happy that I still have a lot left over.

And tomorrow is going to be gloriously warm in the 70`s.....for US.....that`s good....not mac warm weather as she gets the best weather, but we`ll be happy with that....summer dresses time!!!

My kind of weather. We are supposed to have a nice day tomorrow, but it will be cold and wet on Monday.

Two turkeys cooked & ready to slice down tomorrow for dinner. Did lots of side dishes/prep work today as didn’t want to be chained to kitchen as the norm. Baskets are all made. Bubble bath is calling & maybe a tropical drink as I’ve pineapple juice on hand from draining cans for ambrosia

I'll be at Keisha's house tomorrow. I can't remember when I last had a home cooked Easter dinner. We usually eat out at whatever place is open.

 

[macraven]

Good idea charade!

I’ll get the bus out and we all will pile in and head to Janet’s house for a meal

(Who is in with charade and me?)

 

[Charade67]

I’ll bring dessert.

 

[macraven]

And I’ll bring the appetite..
And paper plates in case there is a gang of us and no volunteers for clean up time

It would be cute if a 5 year old had decorated it.......lol.....but I made 2 and I think they`ll taste delicious! Hope your boy has a good get together too....

Yep, your food sounds delicious as always, you`ll have a lovely Easter Day too......

Happy new phone! Never had an iphone as we do like our androids for all we need in a phone.....friends do love their iphones though!

We always do an Easter dinner....very similar to our Christmas day dinner......a turkey will all the trimmings, even if it`s a hot day.......sometimes we have a full leg of lamb if we can`t get a fresh turkey, but always an enjoyable meal to cook.

Hope you have a lovely day whatever you do.

Good idea charade!

I’ll get the bus out and we all will pile in and head to Janet’s house for a meal

(Who is in with charade and me?)

ME too............

Yes, mac.....with full appetite too!!



I planned to sleep late this morning, but lo and behold....I`m up.

Heading out in a few hours to our friends Easter brunch, should be fun although not planning to eat too much as I have our own Easter dinner to enjoy later, hard to say no to some of the gorgeous food that I know will be there.

Will stay for a couple of hours, catch up with some other friends and then home where we might get to sit out today again. Will cook the turkey and get everything else sorted. Simple smoked salmon and shrimp appetiser and white chocolate cheesecake for dessert and made some chocolate ice cream for Kyle who isn`t fond of it and there is a chocolate bombe style dessert too, that one is store bought.

But, another lovely sunny day ahead and tomorrow is a Bank Holiday too......stores are open though so we might go top up some fresh produce early before it gets too busy.

Tea in the pot brewing, time for an early cuppa.........

Have a lovely Easter Sunday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Easter Sunday. Yay! May all have that blessed of a day today. And for those that are enjoying some matzos, Chag Sameach, hope a peaceful day for you too.

Hope your brunch was enjoyable, Schumi. Day of excellent food for you.

Interesting all do turkey. We have ham. And rye bread. As there are kids, and certainly candy will be around, baked mini cup cakes, and when was out yesterday, bought cute baking cups, and colorful sprinkles. So last night, the house smelled good. My family are not big cake eaters, but these are like a two bite, and if leftover, all will take some home. Only baked a dozen, and there’s 15 of us, so would be fine if all gone instead. May pick up some ice cream on the way, as all enjoy that. Most of our groceries are open, though with more like the usual shorter Sunday hours, with some closing a hour or two shorter than usual Sunday closing time.

And so, it’s a day of good eating here. We do a mid afternoon dinner, as many of us are back to that week day routine tomorrow. But no need to rush back to put the trash out. Township is closed for the holiday on Monday, so tomorrow will be get the trash out, as when trash not collected on your day, will be picked up the day after. Will be fine this week, to have a day later pick up. Cans did not look that full when I put trash in them yesterday. But DH will have to wait for his yard trash to be picked up to next week. When our trash day is moved, I guess all need to drive the trash trucks for those that have a Tuesday pick up, and this week, as this week, they have our Monday pick up work too. But at least yard trash doesn’t smell, so those branch bundles and bags of clippings, won’t be dragged to the curb this Monday night.

Ah, nothing like a quiet house, largest screen and a nice cup of tea. Have a bit of a headache, so took some pills with my tea. Thinking of eating some eggs, cheesy pepper ones, and some bacon. Just enough to enjoy for DH and I. Then he’s off again this morning, so we will certainly pack some dinner leftovers, as DH can take to his mum tomorrow.

A most serene Sunday start for me. And happy about that. This early time with just DH and I awake, so nice.

Oh and yay for Charade to get new phones. Ack, with the projector not working at the movie theater you went to. As said when to a different one, Did you enjoy the movie? Did ask little one if she wanted to see it. It was a no, so I guess I can wait until it’s on free on cable or tv.

Ooh, he’s almost ready to go. Off to quick breakfast. Already cooked the bacon, and scrambled eggs don’t take long.

A hearty good morning, with a beautiful bright start. Yeah, and it’s 40 degrees out right now. Sigh. At least not that white stuff Schumi, Sue and Pumpkin have seen. We did get a loud, thundering rain yesterday early evening. Older one came home in a steady rain. But as that high weather system, from the Arctic North is in control now, we get these cooler days, and some gloriously sunny time.

 

[keishashadow]

Happy Easter all or whatever holiday you may be celebrating this weekend.

Later night than expected yesterday. Got an SOS to go rescue DiL who managed to catch a mouse in a trap & couldn’t follow thru. It is quite a creepy process, some traps surely more humane that others. file it under you live & you learn.

Brownies in the oven, forgot to check the start time, will just have to wing it. That’s what happens when you bake before fully ingesting that 1st cuppa

We decided to change cell phone carriers and also upgrade our phones. We all have nice, shiny, new iPhones now.

Ooooh, nice. What color did you get? last go round i matched mine & case to Steelers colors .

Noticed on last ATT bill, we finally paid off our iphones. First person who mentions getting new ones will be sent to the bad boy corner

More snow? I forget, what state do you live in?

PA, western to be specific. It was lightly snowing this am when i took the pooch out. Thankfully, not sticking on ground.

I'll be at Keisha's house tomorrow. I can't remember when I last had a home cooked Easter dinner. We usually eat out at whatever place is open.

Modified spread this year since missing two DS & don’t have to make their specific favorite items

always happy to set an extra plate at our table

It would be cute if a 5 year old had decorated it

Haha I fully admit to not being a ’pretty’ baker. Thankfully, it generally tastes good

Never had an iphone as we do like our androids for all we need in a phone.....friends do love their iphones though!

One of my DS went to Samsung’s newest something or other model this summer. Drives me nuts I can’t send him text messages from my ipad. He loves it tho, did say quite the learning curve

lynne nice your family enjoys foods for the holiday from both religious cultures. My ham will go into oven around noon. I generally do a southern version for holidays as all tend to like it vs the sticky glazes, nicely basted in coke & brown sugar.

Still on fence as to offering up Mac & cheese or pierogi as one of the sides

Interesting all do turkey. We have ham. And rye bread
