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

[schumigirl]

A fresh haircut/color is the best feeling!!!


Sounds like such a luxurious Valentines getaway!! Fond memories...


It's a struggle with the carbs for sure! Maybe I'll try to slowly withdraw. In the past it's been more all or nothing...
I have weight in my mid section that doesn't go away no matter how much I exercise. I'm not technically overweight, but I don't like the belly fat.

Family dinner was a success last night! The chicken parm was extra yummy!
DD and I had our nails done this morning. Went for pinks and purples for Valentines Day.
She will be heading back to school in about an hour. A short, but nice visit!

Love the nails.....suits you Lori.....and glad you had a lovely visit with her......

Yes, I have some lovely memories of that weekend........I was very impressed with The Ritz.....tick off the bucket list....



Full from dinner......laying along the sofas now watching nothing much on tv.

Planning to watch at some point The Vanishing at Cecil Hotel.....sounds interesting.....

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, a Louie and me time, Julie. Yum, all eating meatballs. Sounds like a nice evening with the kids there too.

Ah, all that stupid snow is gone from cars and walkways. Cool feeling day. Just not having that warm feeling for months. And so, yay, another day closer to the first day of Spring next month. Yeah, and loosing an hour of sleep too. Wish we would always stay on standard time. Silly, now to be on a different time keeping more than half of the year.

Quiet enough afternoon, and got DH new tires for his truck at lunch today. At least he bought me lunch. Yeah, a keeper I think. We met our first year of post graduate school. Had my dad not be told he was terminal, and a great scholarship got me to come home and go to school. Otherwise, I was fully going to a school hours away, as had done so for college.

Aw, like a screen viewing night, Schumi. That show you mention has been in the news here. Interesting, real life sad tale.

 

[keishashadow]

have a love of potato chips and bread. Carbs are my kryptonite!

I’m indulging since dining silo & having chicken nachos

I don’t have much to add except my flowers buds are starting to bloom

U r living the dream!

feeling ok after that wicked shot?

Eh, have a Cheesecake restaurant in the mall very close to us, Keisha. Ate there a few times and won’t ever again. Even the one deli we go to, has better cheesecake. We liked the Italian place across from it, but I guess not enough did, as now have had a bar restaurant since last year. Haven’t been in that bar since it opened.

Do u prefer a denser type or ricotta one? My version is a NYC style with sour cream top layer

Tom just reminded me it was 15 years ago this weekend we were in London for Valentine`s Day. We had four nights at The Ritz and enjoyed afternoon tea at The Savoy too. Considering we don`t really celebrate Valentine`s Day, it was very nice. Any excuse for a weekend in London. But, jeez....15 years! We have been in London many times since, sometimes just for the day on the train, but that was a special weekend.

He is a romantic

Keisha really hope your sons get appropriate medical advice soon.

We’re making progress! It’s been a twisty turny week

Just heard from my best friend in Yorkshire who has previously had major health problems and sadly she has to go for further exploratory procedures next Tuesday. Miss her so much and wish I could support her more with this. Could write a book on what we’ve been through together and she is a real inspiration for enjoying life and always keep trying and learning new things.

Aw, best wishes there

He didn’t propose until 2005 and we married in 2006. He is a superstar and much loved by all my family and friends. We just wish we’d met sooner.

How romantic! Nothing wrong with a starter husband or two

It's a struggle with the carbs for sure! Maybe I'll try to slowly withdraw. In the past it's been more all or nothing...

They can pry them out of my cold, dead hands

DD and I had our nails done this morning. Went for pinks and purples for Valentines Day.

Stunning.

 

[schumigirl]

Oh I know the story now of that hotel.

It was made out to be spooky and sinister, but it`s really not. Not sure I`ll watch anymore of it.

Yes Keisha......my husband is indeed keeper......and yes, you have had a time of it recently......

I am craving salt and vinegar potato chips now.......need to go look and see if we have some of that flavour.

 

[Charade67]

Y'all got chatty while I was at work.

Boss' husband left me $20 for helping him with the claim checks yesterday. Totally unnecessary, but I won't refuse to accept it.

Congrats on the 100 day countdown Charade..

Thanks. I promise I won't do a countdown every day.

Valentine`s Day a few days early........

Ooh, Beautiful roses!

Aww, colleague had a baby boy today.

Congrats to your colleague. Everyone except one person at my office is older than me, so we probably won't have any office babies for awhile. One therapist is planning on adopting, but I am not sure where she is in the process.

I have a love of potato chips and bread. Carbs are my kryptonite!

It's bread and pasta for me. I would love some fresh, warm bread right now.

Woke up today by phone call from family dr’s office. To make a long story short, it appears that a staff member at the local med express my two kids were referred to re covid, has been dropping the ahem ball. all “their” contact with patients is being reviewed

Wow, y'all just can't catch a break. Hope everything gets sorted and everyone is back to good health soon.

It’s official, you’re an influencer

I'll be setting up my YouTube, TikToc, or whatever soon.

DD and I had our nails done this morning. Went for pinks and purples for Valentines Day.

Very pretty.

I'm a little envious of you who have a Cheesecake Factory nearby. The closest one to me is 2 hours away. There is a cheesecake shop in my town that I hear is very good. I just haven't been there yet.

I was going to make chili for supper since it is a cold, rainy day, but dh wants to go out somewhere. He is currently napping in his recliner though.

 

[keishashadow]

Wow, y'all just can't catch a break. Hope everything gets sorted and everyone is back to good health soon.

We all are in it up to our chins right now.

brighter days just ahead, we’re in the home stretch now!

Thanks. I promise I won't do a countdown every day.

Whatever happened to countdown tickers here? Thot they were fun

 

[Charade67]

I had one, but deleted it when spring break was cancelled. I just haven't bothered making a new one yet.

Thank you.......

Charade you put a countdown up as often as you want......you have a trip you`re very excited about and we all share that for you.......

I think I read the recent change knocked some people`s countdowns off kilter......and yes, brighter days are ahead......



Never believe the weather man.......no snow forecast for us, but woke up to a covering this morning.....very pretty. But bitterly cold.

Bacon sandwiches for lunch today, and no cook dinner as we are actually going out today after all.......we have a meeting at 3pm and it`ll run a while, so it`ll be fish and chip shop tonight for us.....will pick it up on the way home......

Can`t believe how cold it still is, we are still in the minuses, but stunningly beautiful morning with lots of bright sunshine.

Laundry morning today.....but do have some phone calls to make which is always nice.

Have a wonderful Friday..........​

 

[schumigirl]

I believe today our lovely Robo56 has a wedding anniversary today.......Robo......hope you have the nicest day with your husband..........❤

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Anniversary Robo. Hope you both have a great day celebrating the day you were married.

Ah, a Friday is upon us, and cool and clear, with once again that not so nice 19F. But that clear is not to stay, as cloudy day is said to be. At least not a wet day. Those are coming, including snow, sleet and icy rain. Our 5 day forecast has wet weather 3 of those 5. And a cool spell thanks to that polar air. The high today? A balmy 27F. Will be repeating that tomorrow. Same cloudy day and high temp it is said to be. I’d say it’s a bit cold, Schumi. Your weather seems to be similar today.

And so, even with that oh so not having to be up early, no matter. Noisy DH always gets me up. And aww, that dove outside my window is my good morning hello as it is cooing again this morning. Oh I think there’s two. Harmony for a minute.

Hope Julie is enjoying this late morning and had a fun breakfast with the grandkids and a nice walk with Louie.

Time for more tea. And to move the wash done and put more in. So nice to get some of that have to do not on the weekend, as can do it in my off Friday. Yay!

Fabulous Friday homies.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Late morning hello.

Anniversary greetings to Robo. Hope you enjoy a lovely day.

J started with a cold sore after returning from his father (who has them) and it was sore last night so after breakfast this morning Kev and I walked with Louie to a chemist - luckily not too far away - to get cream for him. Not something we suffer with so nothing here to ease it for him. Oh goodness so cold and a biting wind. I have some thicker Disney masks and I kept mine on for the walk back as it kept me warmer!

Cup of tea now and catching up on the news then making quesadillas for lunch. It will be Fishy Friday as requested tonight so I will pre-order and just collect. There is always a good queue there when we go.

Just had a pizza offer arrive so have announced to family will be a double take out treat this weekend with a pizza Valentines Sunday as we cannot eat out. Extra treat for me a no cook Sunday.

Hope everyone is doing ok and those working can look forward to their weekend break.

 

[keishashadow]

Robbie & her hubs

So glad it’s Friday & the mr is done with his work-week. If my dough cooperates and thaws, going to make cinnamon rolls. No idea of dinner, need inspiration. Doesn’t have to be divine

RL did u know 90% of the population has the virus that causes cold sores, they just don’t manifest in everyone. First outbreak for kids is indeed a time to watch things. Otherwise, train GS to let you know when he gets that precursive, tingly feeling (12 hrs or so prior to a outbreak) and encourage him to start using the cream...generally, will nip it in the bud. That can be miserable indeed, hope his is mild & Good luck managing them

Re disney mask - Believe I have three different ‘makes’ of them, could be more of them that were manufactured. TBH, somewhat doubt their construction/quality, something just seems decidedly off about them to me,

Admittedly, it’s so hit or miss to get a mask to fit properly. Their first roll out had such issues & comlaints . The most recent version I was gifted over xmas did seem greatly improved, a tighter weave of polyester. Haven’t taken scissors to one yet for an autopsy, but have sneaky suspicion they may only be 2 ply.
Last week, grabbed a i had randomly hanging on a hook near the deck door for some reason. my face was freezing off as the pooch decided to dawdle outside. Eureka, they now have new purpose for me, easier to don than a scarf when at home.

Have taken to using the NOISH KN95 ones when out & about. Worn properly supposed to be better than a surgical masks with cloth one over it. It all comes down to fit & wearing properly. Figure since they are readily available here now online (finally!) and we seem to be in the home stretch of things, sure don’t want to mis-step now

A safe & wonderful weekend to all.

 

[macraven]

Happy anniversary Robbie!
Celebrate it all day and night long

 

[macraven]

My dil bought me a Mickey cat mask in the park but way too small

They refused to let me exchange it as I had tried it on

Their sizes are not accurate.
It is a shame she wasted her money on it.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, sometimes the sizes of masks are way off. I found these soft ones at Costco. Was a 4 pack, so bought 2 packs. They wash nice too. That way we all have 2. DH gets lots of those toss ones, as expected to come in once in awhile. So depending on where I go, I’ll use one, then toss when done.

I think masks for at least the rest of this year. I always was generally good at washing hands, but I think I will now always keep hand sanitizer in my purse.

Ah, a cool feeling 25F. A coupon for free coffee today only got me on the road. Had to mail a few things. Post office was not busy. The coffee place was. So enjoying a large cup of coffee. What I don’t finish, DH will surely finish it for me. How he drinks cold and old coffee is beyond me. I like fresh made, won’t drink it if sat for awhile.

Bacon sandwiches and Fish n Chips both sound good to me!

Woke up to a fresh blanket of snow and arctic temps Would be so thrilled with anything above freezing right now, lol!

There are restaurants around here that will make your pizza heart shaped for Valentines Day.
How romantic, lol!
Do they do that near you too?

I have 2 masks from Disney, size Large. They run very small!! And not overly comfortable, which is a shame...cuz they're so darn cute!!


HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ROBO!!!!


Lazy Friday for me....still in my PJs. I need to drop DH work shirts at the dry cleaners, stop at the post office, make a return to Target, grab something for dinner tonight, hit the gym, and go tanning. Maybe one more cup of coffee, and I'll have the fortitude to brave the elements!

 

[macraven]

Going shopping in your pjs today!
Jk

 

[Charade67]

We woke up this morning to everything covered in ice. Yuck. I'd much rather have snow. I am not planning to leave the house today.

Got a pleasant surprise yesterday. When I booked my flight for October they were offering up to $250 credit if you applied for their credit card. It said that it could take up to 10 weeks for the credit to be applied, but mine was applied yesterday, so basically my flight is free. That's more money for me to spend at Universal.

I believe today our lovely Robo56 has a wedding anniversary today..

Happy anniversary Robo!!

How miserable. Hope the cream works quickly and the cold sore is gone soon.

RL did u know 90% of the population has the virus that causes cold sores, they just don’t manifest in everyone.

I learned something new today. Thankfully I have never had one.

I think I will now always keep hand sanitizer in my purse.

I started keeping a small bottle in my purse too. I was at the grocery one day and was fighting to open a produce bag. Another woman saw me and suggested putting a drop of hand sanitizer on my fingers before opening the bag, Worked like a charm.

There are restaurants around here that will make your pizza heart shaped for Valentines Day.
How romantic, lol!
Do they do that near you too?

I think there are some around here that do that too, and I believe Chick-fil-A is selling heart shaped biscuits.


I need to find something to keep myself occupied today. I wish I had some more puzzles.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah me too Charade. Back on a puzzle kick. Hope the ice goes away.

Paris, have fun shopping today. Yeah car took a bit to get warm. Hate this below freezing days.

 

[keishashadow]

Yeah, sometimes the sizes of masks are way off. I found these soft ones at Costco. Was a 4 pack, so bought 2 packs. They wash nice too.

Sam’s had nice 4 pack under $6 too.

I hate to say it but, pizzas in the shape of ahem male & female appendages seem to gaining popularity

Did u pull on ear loops. Can crack in 3 places to get a bit more length

Most people who do acquire it are supposedly. dormant & it never rears its head. Stress, sunlight & hormones tend to trigger it for many
