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

[schumigirl]

I was VERY happy to hear that! It will definitely make trips easier and less stressful.

Yum! I LOVE a good potato salad!

We are having burgers and salad tonight. It's an easy meal on a Friday night and it seems like Fridays I really don't want to cook. I asked youngest ds to pick up some buns when he is done his shift. I love that now if I need something he can pick it up and bring it home.

Well, off to shuffle more papers.

It is the best news for all of us.

Home made potato salad is the best! Yes, nice for ds to be able to pick up items for you......

Had a busy day for errands
Decided to do the gym, then grocery shopping and one more task and now back home and now I can just watch the grass grow….

Relaxing on our screened in back porch watching the cows in the pasture across the street

Yay for it being Friday!

Hope all the homies are doing good!

That is a busy day......does sound lovely watching the wildlife around you......and yes, even being retired, Friday is still a lovely feeling.

Strange day for news, Justin beiber’s having some health issues too

Always welcome

Nice to see them again, the wolf reminds me of one of my long departed keeshonds

Well, i managed to soak it, I’m weird as to cleaning metals before using. Looks so pretty, beautiful cherry red enamel, sorta hate to set It upon the stove lol.

I settled upon tuna salad for me, tossed in some dried cranberries and tweaked it a bit to shake things up. whipped up a Greek sort of pasta salad for myself using odds & ends from tHe week. Mr is getting grilled shrimp and cajun noodles

I’m quite leery of eating potato salad that’s not my own. Pasta salad I appreciate inventiveness and not using same old, same old mayo Based dressing.

potato salad, I want the classic version, thankyouverymuch. i’ve been unpleasantly surprised by some of the stuff I’ve found in potato salads at pot lucks.

Moo to you! Sounds so relaxing. I gave up on the pool when the clouds rolled in, got chilled. Used to that warmer southern weather from last week i guess

One of the nicest potato salads I ever tasted was odd.....boile eggs chopped up, bacon and green onions......it was delicious. I do recreate that one now and again....but oddest one had grated cheese added.......wth!!!! It was not nice.

I adore dried cranberries in a salad....one of my favourites!!

Tea kettle sounds good....and yes, weird one for Justin Bieber.....

Where is soniam?

She has not been posting and is missed here!


So are many more that have not dropped in!

I have been counting noses and hope the homies will give us a shout out….

I think she posted elsewhere on the Dis recently.........





Enjoyed some very nice white wine tonight......had a delivery before we left for Florida, hadn`t tried it till tonight. Very nice. Enjoyed some salt and vinegar crisps too......

Won`t be long till we head to bed....watching a thriller about Jack the Ripper.....makes me want to watch From Hell with Johnny Depp.....might do that tomorrow night.

Plan a lazy day tomorrow, do some baking for church fayre tomorrow afternoon and bacon for breakfast........that`s the plans for now.

My editing class is slowly making me insane. I thought this class would be fun, but…………..



I’ll try to come back later with a real post.

 

[macraven]

Very amazing I could understand what you wrote

 

[Charade67]

Late check in for me. It was a very frustrating day. The problem I am having with my editing class is that the assigned textbook is for 2021, but the editing software we are using is the most recent, 2022 version. I am trying to do the exercises and following the instructions in the book, but the examples shown in the book don't always match what I see on my computer screen. Just enough stuff has changed from one version to the next to make it really confusing. I have had to email my professor at least once each week. Today I got to a point where I couldn't do anything else until I heard back from my professor, so dh and I decided to go see Jurassic World. We didn't get home until almost 1:00 which is why I am still up so late.

I can totally relate. I would meal plan, then cook what was on the plan for the week. Dh and boys would clear the table, and do the dishes. I was also lucky at the time that youngest ds wasn't working, and the vid was still here, and they had remote learning, so I would pay him to help with the chores, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping of the floors, and cleaning the entrance as well and wiping down the bathrooms. We are a tidy bunch for the most part, so it was easy for me to do a more " mom clean" for an hour on the weekend.

I have not been able to get myself into a good rhythm yet. I hope to improve next sub term when I am only taking 2 classes instead of 3.

Usually, right after car is freshly waxed here. in my family a bird’s calling card upon your self or item was considered good luck. Famy a superstitious lot, yet no clue where that idea came from

Eww. I once got hit in the head and part of the face while selling Girl Scout Cookies. It didn't feel very lucky. Thankfully we were outside a Walmart so I could go inside to their bathroom and wash it out of my hair and off my glasses.

All over our local news, tornado was confirmed just North of us, in the next to us state. A one in the scale, so was some damage, but no one hurt or died. Well we were rocking and rolling the other night.

Glad no one was hurt.

How`s that tea kettle working out for you???? It`s funny, they`re not a thing over here at all......but yours sounds lovely.

B is our tea drinker. I suggested getting her a tea kettle so she could have a proper cup of tea. I'll have to check to see if she can have an electric one in the dorm.

Yep, good news on no testing anymore to get into the USA......lots of happy folks over here!!

Great news!

Relaxing on our screened in back porch watching the cows in the pasture across the street

That is so cool. The other night we though we heard a sheep bleating when we cam home. There is a small farm behind us, so that is probably where it came from.

Slow, sloooowwww, ssssssssssllllllllllllloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww day here. The phone isn't even ringing. If I knew I wasn't going to use some banked holiday time over the summer, I would be leaving work early today. It just makes for a long day.

Sounds like many of the days I have.

Guess I will try to get some sleep now.

I think what is confusing is, we just call them kettles, not specifically tea kettles. I have another for the Aga that`s obviously not electric, don`t use that much. But we never leave tea to brew on a stove/cooker the way some folks say they do, we make it in a warmed teapot.

Hope you settle with the course, sounds frustrating having to email the professor so often. What is the qualification you`ll get at the end of it?

And was the JP movie good? Think we`ll go see it at some point. Hopefully you`ll get a good sleep now.






Wild and woolly Saturday morning here......supposed to be brilliant sunshine, but very cloudy at the minute and fairly warm too.

Absolutely no plans whatsoever today.......enjoyed bacon for breakfast, planning to do a mini charcuterie board for both of us at lunch and making Thai coconut chicken for dinner tonight, will be hot and spicy trying to decide whether to make it a curry or make a broth and have it like a noodle bowl.

I do have some rosemary focaccia bread in the oven right now for lunch, our rosemary is growing in abundance this year, as are all the herbs.

Time for second pot of tea I think......

Happy Saturday​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah a happy Saturday is here.

Very sunny start, 65 out, with 78 the high. Little cooler day. May even put pants on. Boo. But no jacket then. Clouds to be forming mid morning, making a mostly cloudy day. But for now, enjoying the sunshine with my tea.

Breakfast already made, pancakes with some bacon and home fries. DH is a good son already, and older one just came down, saying not feeling well, his stomach is bothering him. Told him to take some of my tea, and some medicine, and go back to bed. I hope he is feeling better when he decides to get moving. I swear I heard little one around 3 am, so unless she is not feeling well, I don’t expect to see her anytime soon. And so, this tends to be our Saturday, a relaxing one, with a bigger breakfast, wash being done and a quiet home in the early morning. So far, it’s this Saturday, except for a not feeling well older one.

This, last load in the washer is the bathroom towels, Gathered them all earlier, and take my long, hot shower after I get them out of the dryer. I hang many of the clothes, but I always use the dryer for towels and sometimes the sheets.

Charade, I hope class is getting easier soon. I’m still not sure we will go see that Dino movie. Did you enjoy it?

Potato salad does always taste better when you make it, or my sister makes a good one too. Not my favorite, but I do like it, and sometimes make the German type, as I’m not fond of tasting the mayo with the more usual or what’s called the American kind. Both are easy to make. And a nice side in bbq meals this time of year.

Thus, hope all enjoy this Saturday. Almost the middle of June. Wow, this month is flying by. And hehe, our local school district still has a week to go, before school lets out this coming Thursday. Should then make afternoon traffic a little less. I like when the Summer comes, as commuting in the later afternoon, and sometimes catch working school zones, and when the senior high lets out first, the traffic increases. So with no school, the afternoon commute is about 10 minutes less. Woot!

another cloudy day here but, supposed to be nice & sunny/hot next week…just what we lizards of the world love

my hair stylist has closed her salon for the next 4-5 months as having surgery on her shoulder. Absolutely detest the process of finding a new girl. i’ve gone thru it multiple times starting long before the pandemic. Lots of job hopping among the younger set it seems.

I remembered great reviews I’ve heard over the years for a woman who has a small salon in nearby town, no other stylists employed there tho.

I don’t need to be refreshed until middle of July, was shocked her earliest appts for color/cut are already booking into 2nd week that month. I guess that means she’s either good or cheap…hopefully, both

you know, that does sorta resemble you!

Makes perfect sense to me. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not

I hope to improve next sub term when I am only taking 2 classes instead of 3.

I found myself taking a sharp breath in when you indicated a full schedule out of the gate. I had a hard time when I went back even working just part-time. My brain was just slow to engage in structured learning/writing if that makes any sense. It did come back to me tho, thankfully

Sounds as though you are working like a dog to get it all done. It should be much more doable next semester with a lighter load.

Eww. I once got hit in the head and part of the face while selling Girl Scout Cookies. It didn't feel very lucky.

I do think it’s one of those made-up things they say to make you feel better in a poopy situation lol

But we never leave tea to brew on a stove/cooker the way some folks say they do, we make it in a warmed teapot.

I’ve never seen an electric teapot in a store. Not that I was looking. Don’t know anyone here who has one. We put a kettle on the stove, turn it on and then pour it into a mug with a tea bag. Well, that’s if I’m being fancy. Normally, just run water thru my Keurig or MW a mug of it

i’ll pause here to give you a chance to pick yourself up off the floor Believe it or not, I am in possession of my Mom’s silver tea service. I actually bought it for her after I started working. She had always dreamed of having one & she proudly had it displayed on dining room buffet. It’s carefully packed away now. Haven’t looked at it in years as I’d likely be compelled to start polishing it. nuhuh not going to happen anytime soon

Happy Saturday

I love the sheep meme hahahahahaha

Breakfast already made, pancakes with some bacon and home fries.

Crap, now I feel compelled to put some effort into today’s breakfast. The mr took a stroll, i skipped it as foot still swelling up a bit after being beat up on Long Beach walks (worth it!). Guess I’ll go root around for some bacon and surprise him.

did try making those frozen hash brown patties in airfryer…shocked how good they came out with just a spritz of oil on them. Almost healthy

We lizards must unite!!!

And hope that foot doesn`t bother you too much.....a nice bit of bacon will do you the world of good......any excuse......lol......and rest up nicely!

It is a pain to find the right stylists, hopefully this one you find will be ok at least till you can go back to the regular one who is closed for a while! Very frustrating.

Microwave tea.............??????????

Does not compute.........lol.....jk.......

Yes, no one I know in America has or wants an electric kettle......I love the sound of your mum`s Silver Tea service......oh you have to bring it out and yes, get that polish out and have it gleaming!!! Then have tea....a proper tea.....sounds wonderful.

Tom already grimaces at how many tea pots and tea services we have! I`m British of course I have a lot

lol...I liked that meme a lot!!






Laziest of days here......it`s bloomin hot, but 27mph winds, trees are billowing around us and even the birds are hiding. Sea looks wild but pretty as the sun is shining.

Decided to have Fish and Chips from the chippie tonight instead of making Thai Chicken, my husband has a notion for them. No problems from me........

But, time for more tea.....after Janet`s talk of her lovely tea service, I`ll bring out one of the nicer ones rather than our everyday sets.

I had forgotten that the last time I took classes I wasn't working, so that made it a lot easier. The way our school does online classes is each semester is divided into 8 week sub terms, so you are basically getting one semester's worth of a class in an 8 week period. The last 2 weeks of this month are going to be brutal because the 2 sub terms overlap those weeks. So for 2 weeks I will be taking 5 classes at the same time.

my hair stylist has closed her salon for the next 4-5 months as having surgery on her shoulder. Absolutely detest the process of finding a new girl. i’ve gone thru it multiple times starting long before the pandemic. Lots of job hopping among the younger set it seems.

I hope you are able to find someone you like.

Yes, no one I know in America has or wants an electric kettle....

I am thinking of getting one for B if it is allowed in the dorms. She can't use a regular kettle since she has no access to a stove.

I'm waiting for some files to download so I can attempt to do my editing project. I'm also finally getting my from steps stained. Can't wait to see how that's going to look.

 

[keishashadow]

Oh, Charade, that sounds daunting. You will look back on having accomplished this with rightful pride.

Lizards of the world unite! They must be onto something, having hung around so long here.

carole - i could feel the disturbance in the force re the MW water . Generally, do use the keurig for simplicity. However, do like the idea of having the kettle of hot water ready when making certain dishes etc.

silly but, there’s something comforting to me about the sound of a kettle’s whistle, reminds me of my childhood I suppose.

glad to see the secrets of dumbledore is on HBO, missed it in the theater

just finished ep 4 of this season’s Stranger Things. I am very pleased to see it revert back to it’s prime of season one. Surprised to see it turn rather dark and adult, nice to see horror not entirely dumbed down…

HHN, are you listening?

Lizards of the world, unite!

 

[Lynne G]

Me too, Keisha, my mom loved tea, and always had a kettle that whistled. Hehe, her’s was metal one, painted like a fish. Mine is just red metal. It’s how I know to fill my teapot, when I hear that whistle.

Ooh, being a bit of a night owl. Hehe, because took an after dinner nap. DH was restless last night, so I guess as I’m getting older, I need to catch up my sleep.

Hehe, little one ordered online a music disc set, that older one had opened when it came. Teasing over the selection of that boy band. They tend to like the same music, but sometimes she likes other more then him, like pop stuff I get annoyed hearing in the car radio, when she changes the channel.

And so, was a request for Chinese tonight. Older one said he’s feeling better, and I think Chinese was a good choice. A local place I feel very safe, as they have never used msg, and tonight was delicious. Picked it up just as they had just finished packing it up. It’s about a 6 or 7 minutes drive away, so was still very hot when we ate it. I use their hot mustard on my egg roll. Sinuses cleared nicely. LoL

This, made some tea, as house feels cool enough, with a throw. Getting tired, so may get that bedtime routine started soon. Little one is still wide awake, chatting online with friends. Older one went to bed, as DH. Older one has to work tomorrow. Did call out today, as he did not look good first thing in the morning. I’d say it was either something he ate the night before, or a stomach virus that is a day or so one. Will see how he feels tomorrow morning. Did take medicine all day today.

And so, a light on left for those that need a little light in the wee hours. Yep, a drink of water, a midnight snack, or a trip to the bathroom. No stubbed toes, please.

 

[Lynne G]

It’s raining enough I can hear it. Sunday it is, and a rainy Sunday for us. Guess the trash cans will be wet when they are pulled to the curb this evening. Have some grocery shopping to do, and alarm already set. Tea hot and quiet, well, almost quiet. DH was up before me. So decided scrambled eggs, with peppers and cheese. Easy, and then he’ll be out the door soon enough. Then I will have quiet, with ack, not an infomercial show, dodging them as surfing through the channels. Unless news, not much new shows in the early hours, nor generally on the weekends too. Time of year for repeats, with shows from years ago too. But at least something to watch. May pop in a movie if nothing soon catches my eye.

Thus, a day of rest, with an earlier bedtime, as that Monday feeling, fast weekend went by, will be tomorrow morning.

Have a restful Sunday all.

Yes, I`m with you with the whistling kettle.....always a nice sound. I`ve weirdly seen folks on here describe making tea on the stove, or in a mug.....odd. Will forgive you the microwave tea as it`s you......

But, yes, the electric kettle we use for most things, it`s funny how it`s not a thing in America, well, not common.






Lovely morning for us, slept late, did some housework then had brunch, all fresh produce so it was absolutely delicious.

Started off warm and sunny but the breeze is still prevalent and bringing dark clouds that are now looming over us. At least it`s dry and not at all cold.

Watching the Azerbaijan Grand Prix....not the most exciting so far, hopefully it`ll improve.

Roast leg of lamb for dinner tonight, will make a red wine and rosemary sauce and some garlic roast potatoes to go with it and maybe some roasted carrots too. Love that garlic and rosemary aroma in the kitchen.

Booked to see Top Gun tomorrow, quite looking forward to it despite not being the biggest fan of the movies, should be good though as many seem to like it.

Time for another pot of real tea.......

 

[keishashadow]

Was supposed to be a nice quiet morning

at least once a week I go thru booked upcoming travel reservations. Checking for better rates, types of rooms to open up, etc.

nearly feLL off the couch when i saw our flight down to MCO in September was pushed ahead 6 hours…effectively cutting out HHN that night.



on just a sip of coffee, managed to grab a room at the inn to come in a day earlier, all the while keeping #1 in hand JIK Spirit gave me a hard time…of course, said the horse.

remove United & insert Spirit here



All good, unless they decide to throw another curve ball between now & then Lol

Will see how he feels tomorrow morning

All better? Allergies were rough here yesterday for everyone I spoke to that has, not sure what was blowing

Will forgive you the microwave tea as it`s you......

Watching the Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Not sure i could say that once, let alone three times, fast.

Roast leg of lamb for dinner tonight

Fancy stuffs! DH & DS doing dinner & top gun, i plan on just having left over Romanian steak i grilled yesterday. Don’t often make it but, it does tenderize a not so stellar cut of sirloin well enough.

have a great day all, squeeze all the weekend you can

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, I absolutely hated when SW changed my flights that one year. Lost a full day of fun. Hope no more changes for ya in the vacation times. Yeah, could have been his allergies. He’s been medicating in general, so as to breathe. It’s been quite a few rounds of loud rain, with some thunder, all morning, so other than inside having to deal with plants inside his work, he should be fine today. I think he just needed a day of rest, though I think he has only the next day, before he gets a two day break.

Salon visit this week. I’m so ready for it. And little one is fed up with her hair. So, she may come with me, as usually my hair lady can fit her in, as I wait for that color to cover my white. She’s deciding cutting shorter, or layers. She has that lots of hair, though even though it’s thin, it does get heavy feeling when long. Think almost down to her tush again. It’s been months since she cut 6 inches off. Older one really needs a good haircut too, but he’s been remiss to make an appointment. I may tell him she’s coming to the house with her scissors. He really needs a haircut, and beard trimming.

Well, have not heard little one yet. May ask her to get moving soon. She wants to do a Costco run. I swear from the time it opens, I have never seen their parking lot not full of cars. But I’m of the one that likes to get there when they first open. The fact that it’s almost the time they open, I doubt we will be there then. Yesterday, she was so late getting up, we didn’t get going until 1 pm. But as First Watch was open until 3pm, we enjoyed a brunch there without waiting for a booth. Was a lovely time, and would go there again for breakfast, lunch or brunch. But as was late, exclaimed it was after 4 pm by the time we go to the mall. Yeah, when you get a late start. Just saying.

lol....youse is very special!!!!

What a carry on with the flights!!! I`d have needed a glass of something to deal with that mess........glad it all worked out though and you managed to get something for the day earlier.......what stress though when you see that change!!! Did you get the same hotel ok??

Hope they enjoy TG today, let me know what they think of it......I hope we enjoy it though. And turns out I did book the reclining seats after all. So that`s a bonus.

Romanian steaks?????

Our butcher has convinced us we can now do skirt steak, a very cheap cut usually on the BBQ as with regular steak. His advice was cut against the grain and marinade it well.......I`ve yet to be convinced, as that cut should be cooked for hours usually. Not bought it yet, not sure I will to be honest.

You enjoy rest of your weekend too.......




Garlic, Rosemary, Red Wine and Lamb all cooking together smells de-lic-ious!!!

Roast potatoes will be popped in soon and we`ll eat around 6ish.....cannot wait for this dish tonight, one of our favourites. I know lamb is not for everyone but cooked correctly it is divine!

Been a quiet day which has been nice, GP was fun in the end, not the best though, chatted to some friends and caught up with mum and my cousin. Planning to meet up with friends this week if we can, trying to get back into our old routine again.

And sun is still shining I`m glad to say and breeze is diminishing..........

 

[Robo56]

Good Sunday morning Sans family

Robo, good to hear from you, and enjoying your coffee this morning. Nice to be planning your next stay with son and wife. Hope your morning and rest of this Sunday is lovely.

Good morning. enjoy your tea.

Thank you Robbie.....he is loving the new firm and is enjoying the new challenges of a new position.

Always good to hear our children are happy and advancing in the careers they love.

another cloudy day here but, supposed to be nice & sunny/hot next week…just what we lizards of the world love

Enjoy your lizard weather.

my hair stylist has closed her salon for the next 4-5 months as having surgery on her shoulder. Absolutely detest the process of finding a new girl. i’ve gone thru it multiple times starting long before the pandemic. Lots of job hopping among the younger set it seems.

Hope you are able to find someone to do your hair.

Lizards of the world, unite!

nearly feLL off the couch when i saw our flight down to MCO in September was pushed ahead 6 hours…effectively cutting out HHN that night.

The airlines seem to be doing a lot of messing with original times on flights.


I Know Schumi was glad to hear her guy Mikey was in for HHN.




He’s having coffee this morning contemplating HHN



Universal release more information on Houses and tickets



Heard the news yesterday that Rob Zombie has done a remake of The Munsters.
Here’s some of the family. His wife is playing Lily Munster.



Charade hang in there with the classes.


Mac hope you are doing well.


Pumkin hope the boat works go well.


Just sitting and having my coffee this morning.

I was able to make the reservations the family wanted for end of June into July at Universal. Don’t usually make many reservation, but think it will be busy so better to be safe then sorry.

I read that the UMH Tours are sold out for September. Was glad I make my reservation when I did. I guess we all talked it up to well on the boards LOL.

Not much happening here. We are supposed to hit 98 in a couple of days if the weather folks are right. We have had the most beautiful weather so far. Warm in the daytime and cool at night.

I have been cleaning in my office. It is shocking how much stuff one can accumulate. I made a vow when we were so sick in January that I would go through all the closets and rooms in the house and get rid of things that we don’t need. Don’t want our children to have to wade through things If something happens to us. I have seen that nightmare play out many times. We are not pack rats in any form, but its always nice to clean out and organize. I have been delivering everything to two local charity shops. Nice to know that they can benefit.


Going to make some brunch and then do a little cleaning in the garden



Shout out to Tink, Sonaim, Pumpkin, Lori, Buckeev, Bobbi68 and all the Sans family.


Have a wonderful Sunday
