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

Schumi
When I tried to post this morning....
Had to reregister again to be on the Dis

Would had been here earlier .....

This time did not take me hours to be here.
My lucky day I guess

Thanx Lynne, it’s good to be back here!
 
So weird Mac. Though glad you had no problem after reregistering today. Ugh. Did you ask Pete about your issues? Hope you are doing well, and staying cool, with I bet your hot day.

Trash truck must be late, so added more trash. Yay!

Eh, today feels more like Moaning Myrtle kinda day. 8-)
 
LG.....yes, it was more the rain that stopped us this morning from walking......but enjoying a day at home with rain lashing down outside is always nice somehow.....I think with sore feet once you start walking again, they feel ok.

Enjoy your day, temps sound ok for summer......



mac....not again!!! At least you got logged in this time, eventually! :thumbsup2





Popped out for some fresh produce this morning, and as rain was headed our way, came straight home and got some housework done, but boy is it humid......every window open and now there is a little cool coming through, but it is bouncing down outside with rain.

Enjoying being home when weather is so bad.

Doing a spicy chicken Pad Thai style dinner tonight, got some very thin noodles and It`ll be very spicy as I`m making my own sauce.

And since weather is so dreadful, some baking I think.....I have some recipes for some more complicated baking I don`t normally do, so may give it a go. I did make a croquembouche once.....wasn`t the best, but seen worse I suppose, and it was all eaten.

Must move........

I have never asked Pete anything about how to do something on his company website
I’m just another peon mod and have no connection to the owner and his employees
 

Ah, but at least you figured out how to get back online Mac. I’m glad they offered this DIs, as I got to meet you and others that I consider friends.

Ooh. trash trucks and some sun. Yeah, and AC has gone on and off all morning. Weather lady posted should feel like temps this afternoon should be 100 degrees or a bit higher. Ugh, the humidity of it all. LoL 😆
 
Didn`t get baking started.......writing emails while being distracted watching Queen in Rio on the screen doesn`t leave me time to bake something complicated.......so popped some shortbread and muffins in, that`ll do for today.

:rotfl:


Rain still on, but so warm which is lovely........I do like the little cooling breeze that`s appeared now...I have the bi-fold doors in the kitchen wide open, they are the full length of most of the room, so plenty of air getting in, but no rain.

Shortbread is almost ready.......smells gorgeous.
 
Did have a wonderful day, just not as planned.......it happens sometimes.

Glad you have had a lovely day with good weather......





Change of plan for visiting Goddaughter......baby wasn`t too well last night, not covid related in any way thankfully, so we said we`d put it off till she was better....cannot wait to snuggle that little one!!

I think I might be the only person on the planet to not watch any vloggers or influencers in any way......am I missing something??

Party looked a lot of fun Lori.......and some lovely pictures, the one of you and DD is lovely, but you`re both so photogenic anyway......sounds like a nice day ahead walking the dogs....... 😁





Yes, our plans changed last night, so we made plans with the same friends for another walk, and boy are my feet annoyed with me tonight.........8 miles and it was so much fun. Weather was gorgeous, I think I`m catching the sun a little too......

Then went back to spend the day with the same friends.......they have horses they train, so we enjoyed watching them most of the day. I`m a little wary of horses, but they are so tame and gentle, managed to feed them some little treats too.

Had some lovely food too, so no cooking for us tonight as we had bbq food and snacks throughout the day.......cooled down a little now which is pleasant.

Plan a Harry Potter movie night tonight......through in the large screen room and the surround sound with that system is just too loud as I`m always saying turn it down........party pooper again!

Just called my Goddaughter and she said little one is slightly better, least her temperature is down now. Will reaarange that visit first chance we get.

Hope your Sunday is a good one..........
Sounds like you had a busy and fun day!

Glad the little one is improving!

It has been a very long day for me....
My sister from another mother has been patiently helping me today to get back in the disboards.

After my last post early afternoon today (1:00 ish), I got disconnected from the Dis today

Felt like a fish swimming up stream
Lol

Will spend catching up on what I have missed

Hope all the homies are doing fine!
Tech problems are the worst!
I've called the person at DHs work to help me out. He's an A+ guy and is always willing to help...

Glad to see you back on board......anytime........:hug:





lol.....if the tag fairy was still around your last line there would have been a tag for sure.......:rotfl:





My goodness, my tootsies ache this morning! Slept like a baby last night and it helped it was a bit cooler. Not sure if we`ll be walking this morning, but due to weather nothing else. Looks like it`s supposed to rain, but dry so far.

Another week ahead of hopefully some nicer weather too.

Haven`t given much of a thought to this week, no real plans except to walk when we can and hopefully meet some friends for lunch at some point and try to get back into a normal routine again.

Blueberry muffins and fruit for breakfast today, as far as I`ve thought so far.

Happy Monday........​
Love your last meme! I'm in, lol!!

Good Morning Schumi. Guess with that long walk yesterday, feet would be a bit sore this morning. We too may see rain. Glad you are getting back to a more routine week. Muffin for breakfast sounds good. We picked up bagels yesterday, so that toasted with cream cheese was mine. With tea, of course. Hope with your chance of rainy, had some tea this morning as I am doing.


Weather advisory of extreme stormy weather issued for the next 24 hours. Stormy we will be by the afternoon. But we are very warm, as 90 the high, and a sticky feeling 76 degrees already. Eh, a Summer day in July it is. And a back to routine one it is, and after any weekend, yeah, that Monday feeling day. Sigh.

Was a nice dip in the pool yesterday, sister doing well. Kitchen now fully stocked. Since it was just little one and I last night, pasta dinner was had. It was good tasting, and only a small amount left over. If DH does not get into it for lunch, I’ll probably have it for lunch. Don’t mind leftovers of pasta.

And so, glad to see Mac back on the Dis.

A Marvelous Monday for you, is a wish for all the homies.
Another fun Sunday....pool days are great!!


LG.....yes, it was more the rain that stopped us this morning from walking......but enjoying a day at home with rain lashing down outside is always nice somehow.....I think with sore feet once you start walking again, they feel ok.

I love chicken pad thai! (Mild for this wimp though)





Ended up taking the dogs on the trails through the woods yesterday. Even DH joined me, which was nice! You would have thought the dogs spent the day at Disneyland, they were so thrilled, lol!! It was a great outing, and we only passed one other person the whole time.

Then, I decided to do some baking. I made breath biscuits for the dogs, using fresh mint and parsley. DH pointed out that I rarely bake for the humans....hahah!!
Kinda hard to tell, but they are shaped like toothbrushes. I'm weird like that!

588726

And lastly, I made chicken tacos for supper. No photo of those, but they were tasty! All in all, a nice relaxing Sunday...


Today my parents are coming down. We are headed to a mall, and then the casino! My parents are spending the night. DD and I will come back home, since she has a dentist appointment tomorrow morning.
Hoping to win a few bucks.....or at least not lose too many?!?

Ooh, I’ll be over for some warm from oven shortbread, Schumi. Nice you found a show to watch.

Yeah, with our heat, even with rain maybe later today, not feeling like using my oven any time soon. But maybe. Little one bought ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies, so when she gets home, I can see her making them. At least even if the kitchen gets way too warm, warm cookies, freshly baked?Yum! 😃

Yay, Paris posted pictures of some lake area fun and funny looking dog treats. I’m sure the dogs don’t care. ::yes:: Nice you are having a good time, and oh well, back for dentist appointment tomorrow.

Yep, you`re always counted in!!!

lol....I was thinking of you when I was typing how spicy it was going to be.....I don`t think you`d like it very much....

Looks a lovely place to walk Lori.....we love our woodland walks as we see very few people too, it feels like you`re the only people around at times.

Baking for dogs is a new one on me.....although I can imagine they`ll love them.....I did laugh at your DH pointing out you don`t often bake for him......lol.....Tom`s glad we don`t have dogs or he`d be down the pecking order for sure......lol...

Have a great couple of days with your parents, and doesn`t matter if you win or lose at the casino......it`s having fun that matters!! Haven`t been to one for years, we did go to one in Long Island, but it wasn`t like a real casino, it had too many machines and not real gambling.....but it was fun anyway.

All his music I listen to over and over
 
Ooh the storms were are having. Driving, and turned on street before turning onto our street. Wow! A lightning struck right near us, at car dealer next to us. Both little one and my arm hair stood up. Man that was close. Blue flash blinded us for a minute. Phone buzzed with lightning warnings. Yeah, we won’t go out again until later. Wicked.

Picked up fries, so chicken tenders and fries via air fryer. Steamed broccoli in the microwave, and easy dinner for us. And AC is still running. Even with the stormy air, still oh so muggy out.

Stay safe everyone.
 
Welcome Asub, and yeah, time of year rain some time during the day may happen. But most of the time, weather is nice after the rain. Pack an umbrella or rain coats, and enjoy the parks. As long as no thunder, water rides would be fun in the rain, or plan to eat inside or indoor rides when rain predicted. Pack things to do, if stuck in room when raining, and you don’t want to leave. Pack shoes that can get wet. Soaking sneakers are not fun. I wear flip flops or other sandals that are perfect when wet.

And, apparently, where I live, we have thunderstorms warnings every day this week, and we did have one tonight. And with feel like temps 100 degrees or a degree or two more, you are almost glad to have the rain.

But once the storm cell passes by, usually quiet after that. Even the sun will come out, like nothing happened.

One summer trip, we had the water park to ourselves one evening, just after it was all clear after rain delay. And we sat in the rain waiting for the all clear, as was warm and we already had our bathing suits on.

Oh, and have a great time. It’s a great time of year to travel, as hot and all is now open.
 
We are heading to UO for the next two days. Weather looked great and now it shows thunderstorms throughout both days. Not thrilled.


Hope you have a wonderful time on your trip burbman....and welcome to the Dark Side.......we do like cookies.......::yes::

Please come back and tell us how it all went.....



Hope you catch a break and no rain!

well..... a light shower but other than that, sunshine and lollipops for you

and a big welcome to the Darkside here

now that you posted we expect you to come back
and bring us some chocolate......

Us non chocolate eating folks need potato chips too......spicy ones I think 😉





Was reading this morning Mayor Demmings is now recommending masks are worn while you are inside in Orange County.....not a mandate just a recommendation as numbers of cases are rising again, mainly among the unvaccinated though.

Few cases here of double vaxxed people catching covid again/first time. Worrying though.

Rain finally stopped here around 2am this morning. It`s dry but very dull so will be out walking again this morning. We did miss walking yesterday. We meet some of the same people every day and one older pair were teasing us about England winning the Euros.....well they didn`t win and were royally beaten, so I imagine they`ll be expecting some teasing back. Thing is we couldn`t care less about football.....completely bored by it all and makes no odds to us at all who wins what.....but we`ll play along and have a banter with them.

Breakfast is the home made muffins I baked yesterday and some fruit, we have some beautiful melons right now and Scottish strawberries. Very sweet.

Dinner is fish of some kind, will do a baked version and will make a lemon butter sauce to go with it. Might get some chunky cod loin or wait and see what they have on offer this morning fresh when we get down there.

Excited to book a wine tasting evening going ahead soon.....it`s been a while since anything like that was happening.......we were lucky as there were only around 6 places left.

Have a wonderful Tuesday whatever you`re doing :flower3:
 
Ah, yeah, saw that recommended masking announcement last night, Schumi. Talk of a booster shot, but so far, no agreement as to needing it now. And yeah, there are reports of vaccinated folks still getting infected. But it seems not the norm, so I am hoping as more are vaccinated, the lesser risk to all. It still seems most store workers we have seen, still wear masks, even if most of the public shopping there are not masked. Seems still also required to wear if using public transportation. So masking is not going away any time soon, and I guess, in some ways, I can see why that mayor made the announcement. But yay, for reserving that wine tasting evening. Sounds like a lovely way to spend a night out. And hope your walk was nice, as hope rain held off.

And so, another of that rinse and repeat kinda Summer day. A foggy 73 out already, with that hazy hot and humid afternoon, and a heat advisory issued. Yeah, and with all that moisture in the air making it a sweaty, bad hair day, we also have that chance of rain too. Wicked weather yesterday caused a 100 year flood in our area. Luckily, we had more lightning than rain. Two very short downpours is all we got. At least enough to clear the bird poop off my car.

And so, with the AC running, as do a screen, it’s my back to routine day. With a request for a grocery stop later today, as seems a want is not in our pantry. Guess we did not remember everything with that weekend largely filling up pantry shopping.

But lastly, a big WOOT! Taco Tuesday is here. Yay. That day of the week Mac and other homies will be enjoying a Taco Bell dinner. Taco times homies. Embrace it. Or at least eat a taco or two.

Tea refill time. Bagel breakfast. Yay, one still left, and a day old bagel is fine toasted and smeared with cream cheese. Ah, goes well with cups of tea.

So have that terrific Taco Tuesday homies. And hope it includes some beverages with those tacos. With this muggy day, staying cool and hydrated is the way to go. And yeah, keep that umbrella handy.


:wave2: Good Morning. ☀️

I think covid will always be around sadly....now scientists have the challenge of figuring out how we can continue with living our lives, while dealing with this virus. Not an easy job I'm sure...

It is warming up around here again.....a rain shower yesterday brought the humidity back too.









Hello Asub!!! Hope that trip to UO goes well:thumbsup2



A great day yesterday! We picked up a friend of DDs to tag along as well, the more the merrier!
We did a bit of retail therapy before heading to lunch. We went to a place none of us had been before. Their specialty was empanadas, which I've never had previously. OMG so good!!!!!!

I had the Argentine beef, the Spanish ham and queso, and the carnitas with salsa verde. I added a side of jicama salad, and a coconut mojito to drink. Best lunch I've had in years!!!!!!!

The casino was a good time too. DDs friend won $60, and I won $153. DD lost $50...
We left after a few hours, and my parents stayed, as they had a room for the night.
Here is where is gets really, really good!

My dad texts me this photo later in the evening
588988
He got 7s with a 100x payout on a $5 machine, with betting $10 per spin.
He won $25,000!!!!!!!!!!!
What an awesome day!!!

I'm so happy for him, and wish we'd still been there to see it in person. Either way, what excitement!!
