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

[schumigirl]

Ok added more to the list...

Youre going to need a cart!!

Slow day at work today, but the phones should be arriving this afternoon. I forgot my munch this morning and now it is pouring rain and I just heard thunder. Not sure what I will do for lunch.


Neither do I. If I ever come into a lot of money I am going to hire someone to do it for me. And cook my meals too.

It’s making me crazy. Guess it’s a good thing I work for mental health counselors.

I’ve tailgated a couple of times, but not very recently. Haven’t been to a sporting event in a while.

It’s basically a picnic or cookout before a sporting event. Often done in the stadium parking lot.

I should get back to work. Hoping the rain lets up soon so I can get some lunch.

Thanks Charade…..never heard of that one before, does sound like fun!



Food is being prepared for tonight, few things still to make up, just fresh salad and so on. Made potato salad and sweet coleslaw and added in a jerk chicken breast to cook for Tom and I. Too spicy for the other two.

Still gorgeous outside which is perfect to sit out and cook and enjoy a cocktail or two…….well someone had to drink Lori’s

Quick mid day stop in!

Another warm/hot day in the forecast here. It's windy one though...if a person wears a hairpiece...it might just blow off it's so windy lol.

Most of my papers are shuffled for the day...probably a few more that will cross my desk before I head home...but for now...I'm all caught up. I am glad today is Thursday. Probably head out for a walk tonight after supper. Chicken is on the menu for tonight. Not completely sure how I'll cook it yet...probably airfryer, as it's too windy to grill tonight.

Think I'm gong to check out what movies are playing this weekend. I have missed going to the theatre and seeing a movie. As much as we love watching movies at home on our comfy reclining couches, surround sound and big screen tv...there is something about going to the theatre. Maybe we can do that Saturday night, as it's supposed to be a hot one on Saturday again.

Aww, new great niece born today. An over 8 pound kid. Niece and baby are doing good. My niece will have the house full, with now three kids under 5. Sweet named after my mom and her sister, both whom are no longer with us.

Awwwww...sooo sweet!!!!! They will be a busy family...but that will make for some great stories as the kids are older,

my weather is fine now and hope it stays that way

Enjoy your trip to pick up a few food items...I hope your weather stays!!!!

Perfect Thirsty Thursday afternoon in the sun………pink gin with lemonade, ice, slice and cherries…….didn’t bother going out after all, it’s far too nice

That looks really yummy!!!! I know your enjoying the weather you are getting.

We will leave around 4 pm today to pick up DDs friends for the Brewers game tonight. They want to tailgate before the game. Tailgating is almost a bigger deal than the actual game around here. DD is bringing our corn hole game and her cups table along for the pre-game festivities.
Anyone else do tailgating before games??

That is not something that is done here in Canada....probably because if we did that for hockey...it would be done in - 30 - -40 temps lol NO THANK YOU!!!! I believe some people do it for our CFL games....which we have never went to. But it is not nearly as big here as it is in your neck of the woods. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks dry enough for my lunchtime walk.

Enjoy your walk!!!! I'm hoping to head out tonight for a nice walk. I haven't been able to get out much the last couple of weeks. I'm needing to get back into my groove again!


Well...I should run. Maybe shuffle a few imaginary papers around. I will be doing some shredding this afternoon and watching more Youtube videos.
Have a great day everyone!!!!

 

[Charade67]

The new phones are here!

 

[J'aime Paris]

Lori, I should have known…….

Now I need to go pour a third glass……..

Sounds a busy day for you and hope you have the best time tonight, sounds a lot of Fun…….although you have to explain tailgating as a fun thing to do…..here I’d report you to the traffic police for doing that……lol…….

Like the running sausages………

This kinda sums up tailgating....

I'm the driver today, so my tailgating will be mostly eating and taking pictures of the young adults having fun!

Have a great day everyone!!!!

It's primarily done for baseball and football. Need ample stadium parking to do it. And it can be quite cold tailgating during December football games. I've been a few times wearing my winter jacket, snow pants, all the cold weather gear......I was much younger then. These days I'd watch from home when its cold, lol!

Haven't been to a movie in forever either. Not quite sure what's playing these days. Might need to check it out and go!





Getting coolers packed to leave! Have a nice night everyone!!

lol.....I loathe the cinema....too many annoying people around that drive me nuts.....whisperers, candy eating people, wrapper rustlers, slurpers, texters, phone light people, people who relay the film story and general annoying habits all round....so Tom banned me from ever going again. Last movie I saw in the cinema was Titanic....and no one made a single sound the whole movie, thankfully.

We do have a cinema room, huge tv, but no reclining couches.....yet....lol.....it`s on my boys plans, but not mine....

Hope you got a nice walk tonight and enjoy dinner....

The new phones are here!

That`s a meme I could get on board with!!! Sounds fun......

I don`t think there`s much to watch right now with hardly any decent movies being made.......but, hope you have a blast tonight and the kids have a great time.......



Sat on our backsides all night tonight watching tv in the back room with the biggest tv as the sun is at the back of the house in the evenings, very pretty.

Did have another pink gin and had a lovely chat with one of my goddaughter`s and decided to go up and visit them as they`ve now moved to just outside Manchester on Sunday and finally meet that beautiful baby girl she had earlier in the year......I have a stack of gifts to take with us and cannot wait now to finally see her in person. My goddaughter and her husband too of course.

Still warm here for almost 10pm.....it`s a windows open night tonight for sure.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Just watching some RixFlix and All Ears on Youtube while shredding. It is really making me want to book a trip now lol. I would love to take the 3 kiddos (son-in-law has always volunteered to never go into a park, so he would stay home with the grandbaby this time ) because once Gramps does a trip there and sees how awesome Orlando is....he will want to take her there. He whips out that cc for that little girl pretty fast these days lol. I would love to have one - just us with grown children - vacation like this. Especially since we could never afford it when they were younger.

Is it 4:30 yet? lol

Well, the rain let up enough for me to go get some lunch. It has completely stopped now.

Came home to find a strange van in my driveway. Someone came by to give an estimate for painting our house. I wasn't expecting anyone today, but he told dh he had time today if we did. I'm already impressed with this guy. His quote seemed reasonable, and he came prepared with a copy of his license, proof of insurance, and a list of references. He also gave us a quote for refinishing our kitchen cabinets. We are considering a kitchen remodel somewhere down the road, so I will definitely keep him in mind.

Maybe we can do that Saturday night, as it's supposed to be a hot one on Saturday again.

I believe that there a some movies that just need to be seen in a theater. For example, Avengers Endgame just wouldn't have been the same if we had watched it at home.

This kinda sums up tailgating....

Yep, pretty much.

I'm just killing time until it is time to go to the movie. We bought tickets to an 8:45 show back when I thought I had to be at work at 11:00 tomorrow. Time got changed to 9:00. We will have phone training and then one of the therapists who just left our office is treating us to lunch. I see an afternoon nap in my future.

 

[KStarfish82]

Evening! Just a quick hello! I always feel guilty just popping on and leaving for weeks or months at a time. It is not intentional! Just hard to find time to catch up and log on.

Quick recent recap...
Just came back from Orlando on Monday. Visited Legoland for three nights and it was GREAT! We really loved the accommodations, the breakfast and the park. There was something for everyone! So of course, we upgraded to season passes! Already booked our trip for the holidays!

Chris is now 8, Lucas is 5 and going into Kindergarten in Sept., Charlie is 3 and in the process of potty training so he will be ready for nursery school in Sept., and Hope will turn 2 on the 17th. Definitely having some mommy blues as they are getting older...so pathetic considering my youngest is not even 2 yet!

Well I wish I could stay, but I am having a yard sale this weekend to get rid of some stuff from my house, my parents' house and my sister's house and have to start organizing.

We currently have a tropical storm warning. We are not really concerned...let's face it, it's not Superstorm Sandy, but we have to watch the tides and wind since we are so close to the shore. Stay safe everyone!

 

[macraven]

Always thrilled when you drop in here Kfish!

I met your sister on the boards years ago and then you started posting in the sans

it’s been a long time ago as you were single back in those days

Now that you mentioned how old your babies are now, absolutely ages me....
Lol

A Keisha sighting!!!

Glad you`re having such a fabulous time.......hope M`ville was excellent, we do like it there after having a break for a couple of years........look forward to hearing all about it!!

It`s good to have someone you can rely on like that and trust to do your work. We`re very lucky in that respect, but most have been recommended by others and one guy we met once and knew instantly he was the guy.

If you have a cinema room you can watch most movies at home....I much prefer it as I said, I have an aversion to other people in cinemas and I`m generally very much a people person........

Good to see you Kfish.....and yes, you`re kids are growing up fast.

Lol

It is shocking when you see how kids age......I know my friend`s little Granddaughter all of a sudden doesn`t seem like such a little girl and she`s only 5 now.....like Kyle she was 4 when she started school and I do think that brings them on a little faster too.

Don`t think I ever met Kfish sister.......



Well, it was supposed to be dull this morning, but the sun has been bursting through since just after 4 this morning, so our walk will be early again before it gets too hot and sunscreen will be on. I was delighted to see a tan line where my watch is....I very rarely tan but it`s something! They were laughing in Scotland when I was showing it off as one of my brothers is almost mahogany in colour......he takes the sun so fast and could tan sitting close to a lightbulb! Brothers are all the same.....it`s the females in my family that stay mostly white and go slightly red.

Won`t be 8 miles today, maybe 4 or 5 then want to go and get fresh produce for over the weekend, always like to avoid stores at the weekend.

BBQ food again tonight, so will prepare fresh for that later....always a popular choice and think one of my friends is dropping in on her way home from work as her business brings her over this way today, so she will eat too I think.

But, Friday and ready for the weekend....although, no plans for some reason, think everyone is laying low right now, will need to change that, always love a good friends get together.

And we decided to postpone the book group till after the 19th and have a real live get together instead of Zoom! So, excited about that. Only two are wary of a large get together just yet, but I said if we can, we can sit out if that makes them more comfortable, weather permitting of course.

Happy Friday

[bobbie68]

everyone I am still up, we have to wait to start Liv's ear drops. She has been complaining for a few days and I know she can have ear issues from swimming.Liv needs them 3 times a day and wants one of the times in the middle of the night. Brian and I will be sleeping so we have to show Charlie how to do it tonight. I have a few minutes to check in.

On Monday I was feeling much better from the shot. Iam glad that it is done for now. We did have a little cookout the 4 of us and Brian and I spent some time in the pool. We realized that our screen in our lanai is not good for keeping the small gnats out so we are going to buy an insect one so I can stop having gnats in my pool. They are very annoying. We will start making some plans after the 16th when I am fully vaccinated.

We are going to Animal Kingdom on Sunday and Monday and staying at Coronado on Sunday night. Just a little get away. I haven't seen Pandora yet so very excited too.

We prepared our lanai furniture for Elsa, as well as had our plans in place for a tornado watch. I was very glad we didn't get anything serious but felt good preparing for the worse. Up north we got tornados few and far between, I will have to get used to more watches here.

J'aimeparis You will enjoy Boston very much. I have been there many times over the years. We had only lived 2 and a half hours away. If you have anything specific you are interested in you can always PM me and I would be happy to give you suggestions. It sounds like DD was going to have a nice time tonight. I have been to a taligating party before hand, it's a fun way to get excited for the game. I hope it all went well. I understand about kids and being into something Liv has high function autism.

Lynne Congrats on your new great niece, what a wonderful time. It does sound like your niece is very busy. I have finally found a temperature setting for the a/c I think will work. I am not use to having to keep it on all the time. However, I do love central a/c. I hope the weather is good so you can enjoy your walks.

Charade I hope Black widow was good. We love Marvel movies so will put that one on the list. I saw the trailers and it looked good. I haven't watched Loki yet but it really does interest me. Good luck on the home improvements, I understand Brian can get himself overwhelmed trying to do too much at once.

Carole Beautiful picture of the beach, looks wonderful for walks. I hope your visit is great on Sunday, it's always exctiing to visit with the new baby. Brian enjoys gin I am going to show him the pic of your gin drink I am sure he will enjoy it, it does look very nice. We enjoy making sangria because of the fresh fruit. Jerk chicken sounds great!

Keishashadow I hope Margaritaville was good!! We enjoy it there!!

Pumpkin I hope you enjoy your visit with your brother in law and gf, it's nice to start seeing family again. I hope your son is doing well from his second shot. I agree with you Charlie really lost a lot his senior year of HS last year, he is looking forward to his make up graduation gift to a couple of night of HHN and then club level at Portofino in January for his birthday. It's nice your son is going to recharge this summer. Air fryers are awesome. We made some vegetables in them a few weeks ago, can't go wrong.

Kfish It was nice to see you check in. Glad you enjoyed legoland, we have friends that take their young sons there and love it. I feel that way now that I have two 19 year olds. Oh I remeber yard sales, I had a few of them, but I can't do them anymore, good luck with it. I understand I was in CT for Sandy, Gloria and a few heavy Nor'Easters. I hope if it comes in flooding is kept to a minimum, stay safe.

Rapstar Good luck with your wisdom teeth coming out! Good thoughts for a speedy recovery. Vacation is always a good thing to look forward too.

Mac Nice to see you posting! Hope all is well!

Real I hope the coffee was warm feels nice after you get soaked. Sorry outdoor plans were postponed. How sweet Kev is watching out for the birds love to hear that.
I hope you are feeling well.

A Special hello to all the SANS family that have not posted, I hope all is well.

I am off to bed going to try swimming and shopping in the morning before afternoon storms.

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! Lots of happy posts last night. Yeah, screen viewing and early bedtime was my night.

Yay, hope Keisha finally got her luggage, and enjoyed a good meal last night. Woot, though, I like staying at PBH. Park fun today, I hope, even with the rain.

Kfish, yay, so good to see ya post. Yeah, early morning news, said tornados sited, and here comes Elsa. But not like those nasty Nor’easters such as Sandy. But thankfully, I’m West enough, as long as the hurricane stays more out to sea, the less we get. High winds will blow and 2 to 3 inches will fall before that tropical system lets you enjoy the same tomorrow afternoon. Saying by early morning tomorrow, storm will be North of us. Sweet, having young kids. Yep, they grow up fast. My oldest will be 24 this year. And will have to say both my kids will be in their 20’s, as little one turns 20 next month. And funny, my ex SIL’s birthday is also the 17th this month. Woot! To having Legoland APs. By the time the Florida one was built, my kids had no interest in going there. We did visit the one in California twice. And while we don’t go there either, we have a Lego Discovery Center in one of our local malls. Seems great for young kids.


Pumpkin, I hope you do get to travel to the parks soon. Aww, nice family will travel with you, and yep, young or older, enough people, all will have a good time.

Bobbie, good you are feeling better from the shots, and yay, will be easier to be around, knowing you are now fully vaccinated. Nice to have Charlie have a birthday trip in January.

Schumi, good morning. Yay BBQ, dinner and in person book group meeting. Agree, it’s nice to talk with people in person after all those video and phone call meetings.

And so, as they AC runs, as we have tropical feeling air. 72, and phone says rain to fall soon. Yeah, rainy Friday here. But a smile from me, as it’s my slightly shorter day, and a pay day. Double woot! Woot! Woot! Did I say it’s a Friday? Second yay!

Hope all have a fabulous Friday, and a wonderful weekend.

Off to get more tea. Hey, nice and cool, and not humid inside. Yay! And hoping that darn rain stays away long enough that I’m dry feeling on my lunchtime walk. Well, maybe sweaty, as oh so humid when it’s not raining,

 

[keishashadow]

Hi all. Hope all are swell

Even tho not thru gates till 8:10 am family now just with 30 min wait at B coaster

we decided to stare at bell services in person @ 10 pm last night. They caved lol had it shortly thereafter. Just another post covid shirt staffing thang





Check out the PBR boat line at 9 pm. Surprised it it move as fast as it did, yea!

only running one boat to all resorts for early park hours btw

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh those drinks and crowds. Have fun, Keisha. Glad you finally got your bags, and have express. Sweet!

 

[schumigirl]

bobbie....good to see you. Hope Liv is better soon, ear pain is awful and hope you`re all doing good.


LG.....yes, I won`t miss zoom and facetime, as handy as they are, I`m very much a people person and much prefer face to face contact. I`m sure you`ll enjoy being back in the office too.....hope you enjoyed your walk today.


Keisha.....wow another lovely picture of your mister and the little one.....I`m having fun visualising you having a stare off with bell services.....I think you`d win everytime!! Hope M`ville was good.....




We only did 5 miles this morning, I say only......but I still think it`s quite impressive from folks who didn`t move much and had a foot injury! But, weather was hot again, think I drank 3 litres of water while walking, sun was beautiful again though.

Got home, changed and went out for light lunch with some friends, didn`t eat too much as we have food out for tonight to grill and one of my friends is over this way for business today so will stop in for some food before setting off home, look forward to seeing her too.

Posted a couple of pictures of our trip to Scotland......I know some of you ladies have seen some of them, but a couple of different ones posted there. They`re over on what is now, the longest running pre trip report ever.......

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Happy Friday Dance!!!

I have never been so happy for a Friday as I am today. It's rare that I'm waiting for Friday to arrive...but finally it has arrived. Only 6.5ish hours left lol.

Didn't get out for my walk last night. I seen a job posting, so I revamped the cover letter and also did a little adjusting on the ole resume. So that took up most of my evening. Persistence is key. The HR department will keep seeing my resume and will eventually just say " we really need to just hire her already " lol. I've had a couple of written interviews ( as they are not in-person interviewing because of covid) and for the last interview...when they sent a written request for my references...her email link didn't open...so instead of asking them to resend one that would open, she just replied with what " she thought of me and what they would ask" . So I'm sure that didn't help matter much. But I know that I will land a job where I am wanting....I just have to be patient.

Another warm/hot day here, except the smoke has now moved in. Forrest fires are burning again...and they turn our skies a greyish color. It's not anything new, I just hope we don't get the smoke like we did 2 years back where it was thick and caused many breathing problems for people as well as visibility for driving/flying as well. That was a horrible year for forest fires. We need some rain now.

I am off to bed going to try swimming and shopping in the morning before afternoon storms.

It was great to see you. Sounds like your settling into Florida life!!!!

Even tho not thru gates till 8:10 am family now just with 30 min wait at B coaster

Enjoy your time there!!! It looks wonderful!!!!!!!

Posted a couple of pictures of our trip to Scotland......I know some of you ladies have seen some of them, but a couple of different ones posted there. They`re over on what is now, the longest running pre trip report ever.......

You and me both. We are waiting on baited breath to be able to travel again. We can travel right now....it's just the hoops we need to jump through to travel. We still need to provide a negative test before entering the US...and we need to get tested again before coming back into Canada. There is no quarantine now on either side if your fully vaccinated. I am hoping that with vaccine passport that is being talked about, we won't have to produce negative covid tests. From what I understand, travel agents are busy again booking trips. We are starting to see more flights being added now as well. I hope this all continues.

Well, I really should get to shuffling some papers around and actually look like I'm working.

Have a great SANS family!!!!!!

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Long day today. We got home from the movie last night just before midnight. Then the insomnia hit. I think I maybe got a couple of hours sleep off and on. I had to be at work today at 9:00. We had 4 hours of phone training and I'm still a little concerned about going live on Monday. This new system is a lot more complicated than the old one. After training one of the therapists who just left our office took us out to lunch. I got home around 2:00 and took a 3 hour nap.

Just came back from Orlando on Monday. Visited Legoland for three nights and it was GREAT!

Good to see you Kfish. I wanted to take B to Legoland when she was younger, but we never did.

If you have a cinema room you can watch most movies at home....I much prefer it as I said, I have an aversion to other people in cinemas and I`m generally very much a people person..

I don't mind watching some movies at home, but for others I like the theater experience. I know you don't care for the Avengers movies, but when we saw Endgame it was really cool having a packed theater cheering together at certain scenes.
I used to get stuck in front of the seat kickers. Thankfully our theaters finally joined the current century and started offering reserved seating. Now I chose seats where there is no one behind me.

everyone I am still up, we have to wait to start Liv's ear drops. She has been complaining for a few days and I know she can have ear issues from swimming.

Get well wished for Liv. Hope the issue clears up quickly.

I haven't seen Pandora yet so very excited too.

I want to go back and see it at night. When we were there in May the park closed before the sun went down.

Charade I hope Black widow was good. We love Marvel movies so will put that one on the list. I saw the trailers and it looked good. I haven't watched Loki yet but it really does interest me. Good luck on the home improvements, I understand Brian can get himself overwhelmed trying to do too much at once.

We all enjoyed it. It was nice learning more about Natasha. Have you watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier? If so, the end cut scene will make more sense.

I seen a job posting, so I revamped the cover letter and also did a little adjusting on the ole resume.

Good lunch with the job search.

I think I will have a quiet rest of the evening. Tomorrow B gets her second Covid shot and then we are going to go to Hallmark and pick up a couple of the new ornaments that are being released tomorrow.

Pumpkin, hope you get the job you are looking for. Sending good thoughts your way.

Bobbie, hope Liv is feeling better. Little one gets ear aches every so often. Doctor just tells her to take pain medicine. Used to have drops, but I guess as she’s older, doctor won’t prescribe any medications for her. Only if she was running a fever for more than a few days. Thankful that she seems to have it go away after a few days, and usually does not have a fever when she’s had an ear ache. But yeah, she is miserable when she gets one.

Glad you liked the movie, Charade. We may get to the movie theaters one of these days. Older one is a Marvel fan, but I don’t think he was that interested in seeing the movie. It should be in theaters for some time, if he wants to go. I’m like if he wants to, I’ll go. Little one only goes as something to do. She is not a comics fan.

She’s ready to be done work, so I guess she was bored enough, took this picture:


Yep, she’s a zip line worker, among other jobs there.

Ack, everyone must be busy.


Little one and I are enjoying some First Watch breakfast. Yum.

Had District Taco for dinner last night. Eh, it’s a one and done. Food was not good, and overcooked. Bone found in my chicken too, which um, no, as should have been none. And so, we should have known, as was not busy around 7:30 on a Friday night. But at least it was a new restaurant to our area, and we had to at least try it. Smashburger is also almost ready to open near us. We will give it a try. First watch on the other hand, we have never seen not busy. And never had a bad meal.

And so, have a coffee with me.


Have a super happy Saturday. Lazy day? All Saturdays should be. Well, older one works today. Oh well, if ever a day of rest, tomorrow is
