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

[Vicki Rickerd]

Sal’s pizza at PBH is about perfect.......

You are so right about that. Everyone in the family loves it. We must have eaten at Sals at least 4 times last trip. Hard to find a place all 6 of us agree on.

Had storms last night and our yard is a swamp, so its an inside day today. Sorting through pictures of our last trip in February. Had signed up to go to a scrapbooking crop next weekend. The theme was Harry Potter, so it was a no brainer for us girls to sign up. Of course its a no go, but still want to get the pictures in a book.

Happy Saturday everyone.

What some call rye bread, not a fan of, eww.

An endangered species

Completely SAN........but how good looking was Michael Douglas when he was younger.....found an old episode of Streets of San Francisco earlier and then saw him in the Billy Ocean video...he was a looker!!

I always liked Karl Malden . He’s a looker but MD’s pa, Kurt, was more my type. If talking old school, let me toss in Clark gable and Tony Curtis in the mix. Don Johnson im Miami Vice, sublime

Like Johnny Depp, John Travolta, Andy Garcia.

Oh yeah

I am going to try a different mask. The one I have is a pleated mask with string ties. I don't like the way it fits under my eyes and the strings get caught in my hair.

Ordered 2 new ones this morning. We have decided the elastic straps on ones we have too tight, our ears protrude monkey like

Schumi, my hair has the racing stripe and by September it will be more obvious.

Mac...start your engine!

keisha your Dis tag in your siggie has bananas in it..
The little video you shared with us is fitting

Love ‘dem nanners. do you recall you declared a moratorium on them a decade or so ago when they ahem ran buck wild here? They’re baaaack but promise to be good

 

[Charade67]

Charade that is a beautiful head of hair you have!

Thank you. It’s a lot shorter now.

 

[mckennarose]

I should just let myself go gray, but just can't bring myself to di it yet. I just refer to my roots as my skunk stripe.

I always referred to my roots as the skunk stripe too, lol.

Once in a while dh will suggest I go blonde. I just don't think I would look good as a blonde. My mom is the opposite. She started going gray at an early age and just accepted it. I think she has only colored her hair a couple of times. B wants to try red, but doen't want it to be permanent. I have no idea whay to use for her.

I did go super, super slow with the transition. And the blonde just hides the grey, it blends in that you don't see it as much now.

mrose......oh yes!!! Romancing the Stone......he was almost edible in that movie!! I look back at some of my crushes now and they’re all gay!! Well, George Michael and Freddie Mercury for two.....lol....

LOL! Yes, he did look good in that movie. George Michael was a looker when he was young!

Yes, it was around 3pm she sent it to me, so respectable.....I may pour a glass shortly......it’s almost 5pm!

Just after noon here.... quite a ways to go for me....

Charade, I suit being blonde and I like it..

I like it too. I never thought I would look good as a blonde since my hair is so dark, but it's all about the toner.

Here is a picture of my hair from 10 years ago. This was just before I had 12 inches cut off and donated, and before it started curling.

Your hair is beautiful! It makes me miss my dark hair, but I could never go back at this point, it took too long to get here.
I found one pic of when I just started to lighten, and another from about two years ago of the blonde. I'm more blonde now, as there's more grey too. (too shy to show my face!)

Tony Curtis in the mix. Don Johnson im Miami Vice, sublime

Oh yes.... on both counts!

This is funny..... remember the guy who played in Sixteen Candles as the love interest of Molly Ringwald? Apparently he lives somewhere in PA and owns a furniture store. I was half tempted to find the store one day just to see what he looks like now. LOL!!

We got a notice from our car insurance that we're getting money back. Did anyone else get money back too? I guess because people aren't driving a lot.

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

Well my box dye adventure was largely a success! It is a little brassier than I would like but at least I am ‘natural’ blonde again LOL. Nothing a little purple shampoo won’t fix! I can now channel my inner Elsa again.

Now for need dinner to turn out well too then we can celebrate!

Happy Saturday!

Home today. DH went fishing with his dad. Doubt they are staying 6 feet apart in the boat

Started off cloudy but the sun came out for a little while and now it's getting overcast again.

My hair salon updated their fb page with all the precautions they will take when allowed to reopen, which hopefully will be next month. We have to call them when we are in the parking lot to check in and they will call us when they are ready, no sitting in the waiting area, they will take the client's temps upon entering, you have to wear a mask the entire time you are in the salon and no one can come with you to your appointment. Whew....not sure about the mask the whole time..however I understand the precautions they are taking, they have some beauticians with health concerns. My next appt is scheduled for next week but of course it will be cancelled.

Nails are not an issue for me. I only get them done before a trip or special occasion and I don't have either coming up.

@mckennarose Happy Belated Birthday!!

Good morning everyone. This has been a stressful week. When I get home from work I just don't want to do anything.

Hope things are better and you have a break from it over the weekend.

It has been a rough time since my last post. Liv is having problems with her bleeding disorder and one of Brian's sister passed away suddenly last week. She was 53 and had minor health issues but didn't see a heart attack coming. There is going to be no service due to the virus probably a service at a later date. I believe she will be cremated. I have been having lots of anxiety so working on that.

So sorry about your SIL and I hope Liv is doing better today.

Oooh, I haven't been to OBX for a few years now, but it's so nice there. We like it up further by Duck, away from some of the busy-ness.
We grew up going to the Jersey shore, way, way before it got really trashy. We had cousins who lived in Toms River near the beach and we loved it. Now I wouldn't go to the NJ beaches if you paid me.

Duck is a nice area. I have only been through a couple of times but my boss vacations there several times a year and loves it.
We have friends that have a place in Kitty Hawk so we usually stay with them a few times each summer.

Sounds like you feel the same about Jersey beaches as I feel about Virginia Beach.Lol.

We got a notice from our car insurance that we're getting money back. Did anyone else get money back too? I guess because people aren't driving a lot.

I had heard that some of the big companies were refunding or crediting for April and May between 15-25% per month. We have Progressive and I read they were but I have not received anything. I pay ours biannually so hopefully when we renew they will give us a credit.

Dinner will be a chicken pot pie from Sam's Club and a side salad. The one in their prepared meal section is fabulous!

Have a great evening!

I have’t heard anything from my insurance company yet. Maybe I should give Jake a call.

you have to wear a mask the entire time you are in the salon and no one can come with you to your appointment.

I don't know if I could keep one on for an entire appointment time. I'm having enough trouble just wearing one on a brief shopping trip.

Both colors look very nice!

We got our first check from Allstate probably 3 weeks ago on the car insurance.

 

[macraven]

Charade, State Farm announced they are doing checks also.

Well, do not think I am returning to any salons in my area for hair work.
Watched local news yesterday evening and the lines for beauty shops were long.
All sat in their cars outside the shop in their cars.

Looked like a tag sale was going on as stores had peeps waiting outside for other businesses opening up.

I looked at the covid state site and Ga numbers were up another 200 this morning.
I’ll check it again after 7 tonight as they update numbers for all states in the evening.

Our local news starts in a few minutes and will watch how stores went today.

Erie: immediate relief represents about 30 percent of your monthly auto insurance premium for a two-month period or 5 percent of your annual premium. Seems fair, especially since DH was still driving to work

Clairol shimmering lights . If you leave it on an hour or so, as good as any toner. Does have sulfates (gasp!!!). Only use it when the stylists make a boo boo & then once a month or so to freshen things up.

Used it to strip out the purple hue I wound up going down to MCO with for fall trip. Fascinating to watch it turn a weird fuscia shade then start to normalize. I thank my friends I met there who assured me it looked fine lol

Did u see Massachusetts’ numbers, they took quite a jump too. Sad.

Due to very little federal oversight, there is quite the controversy over inconsistent reporting. Without it or antigen testing to determine who has been exposed, it’s difficult to imagine how they will safely open the country.

Was really shocked to discover many states weren’t counting prison or nursing home numbers. Safe to assume the numbers will jump.

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Well wife is off to pick up Outback tonight, we’ve been eating Texas Roadhouse quite a bit so decided to make a change, we are anxious for the time we can get back to Longhorn and Saltgrass!!!

Those places are a bit further away to be able to take it away and still be warm once we get home!!!

Hope everyone is well and having a great day.

So I have been looking at some new furniture online for the room my wife and son has redone, I’d much rather just be able to go to the store to look at things.......

Planning another February trip also, I like to go to the Daytona 500!

Ah thanks for the tip! I will need to try that out!

Today has been a good day. No major bozo hair, the shrimp etouffee turned out awesome, and soon have a zoom happy hour with friends! I will be having a rum cocktail until I can procure flavored gin to try the good fizzy drink!

Love shimmer lights! I put it on my dry hair if I really want a punch. I also use Matrix Brass Off, which is super concentrated and smells 100 times better.

Saltgrass!!!

Is that a steak house? We don't have that here.

Sounds like fun, have a great time!
Maybe you can convince me to make cajun? I really don't like it much, but I want to! I just need good recipes I think.
Our liquor stores have drive up now.. so I should look for the pink gin and see if I can get it.

Yes, I believe there is one in Orlando also, but we’ve never been to that one.....

We don’t typically go to restaurants that we have at home while on vaca.

This was my first attempt at Cajun but after being stuck at home for 2 months now I am desperate for something different! This is the recipe I used and honestly I don’t think it’s too far out there for our palates which are a lot of meat and potatoes.

Drive up liquor now that is an idea I can get behind!!

Oh that's wonderful!

I just found out about purple shampoo a little bit ago. It's great.

My hair salon updated their fb page with all the precautions they will take when allowed to reopen

Mine reopens in 3 weeks and we were allowed to start booking today. Not sure what precautions will be in place. My guy is a family friend so I dont worry about him, but its the other customers in the shop, that has me hesitating.

[Charade67]

We have been working on puzzles lately. So far we have assembled a 300 piece (easy) and a 500 piece (challenging). Tonight we started a 1000 piece. It took the 3 of us 2 and a half hours just to assemble the frame. I didn't realize that puzzles were so exhausting.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh l like a good puzzle, and have always.

See my coach has turned into a pumpkin, so leaving a light on for my kids and the rest of you night owl homies. Have a good night’s sleep everyone.

 

[macraven]

Thanks for leaving the light on Lynne
It kept me from tripping on the steps
