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

[schumigirl]

Oh, I heard the wine being opened!!


I have lotion form of the Beach Defense, which is ok from what I read.
Need to check the bottles at the lake house too.



If it's the email from July 14th, I received it. Sending you one back today sometime.
And yes, computer/email troubles are the worst...


Glad you enjoyed that sunny walk!!






Made the dogs some turkey, which should last through the weekend. Adding fresh green beans and pumpkin puree for tonight. Little dog loves pumpkin, one of his favorites!

Good day for walking the dogs. Big one doesn't do well with too hot, and today is cloudy and comfortable. Didn't opt for the wooded trail today. It's likely quite wet from the rain/storms from yesterday. Sticking to the open and dry patches.

Dryer just beeped, time to fold some laundry!!

Lori.....made a booboo.....I was looking at drafts.....I must have pressed it into drafts as well as send......so you have it....doh!!



Enjoy that walk with the puppies, yes, some don`t like the heat too much.

I like pumpkin in savoury dishes, and tried it sweet once....not for me! But, yes, your doggies food sounds lovely......




Although it`s going to be too hot this weekend, going to make a sweet potato and coconut soup next week sometime. One of my friends sent me her recipe and I`ll omit the coriander and add a few little bits and it`ll be nicer......or so I`ll (jokingly) tell her.....she knows me! Always love a from scratch soup.....I`m not the biggest soup fan, but it`s plain soups I`m not fussed on......

Just spoke to my cousin in Long Island......they`re hoping to get over here next summer which will be lovely, can`t wait to see them again.......

Time for a glass of wine.....I`m chatted out now.......

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick stop in!!!

Another beautiful warm day again. Tired of sleeping in a hot bedroom...but I will take all the warm weather are getting!. Still pretty smoky here. Seems a little better now that it's a little windy this afternoon. This morning, it was pretty smoky again. Come on rain!!!!

Shrimp Linguine is for supper tonight. Looking forward to that!!!! The youngest is not a shrimp fan. Not completely sure what I'll make him yet...but I'm sure I'll find something. i have been putting off making this for a few weeks....and tonight is the night lol.

We`re already starting to see those sensor lights outside come on just a little earlier at night now......by mid August we`ll see a real change in the light as the nights finally get longer with some darkness.

I finally have to turn on a light around 10:30 pm. It's now dusk at 11;00 or after when I head to bed. I enjoy all the sunlight.

Here, our Thursday is another heat advisory issued day. Hazy and hot was the descriptions from the weather lady this morning. Yeah, and humid was the other.

I hope you don't get the crazy weather with that heat and humidity. I know it's something your used to...but storms still scare me. Not a big fan of them lol.

Someone when we had chosen the knives we wanted, the staff member made a comment of who needs that many knives and they were a ridiculous price to pay for knives.....I think the glare showed my disapproval.......then, escorted us to the pay point and left the knives behind the desk while we lined up to pay......then they let us go.

I really really hate bad customer service...as well as... customers who think they are always right. I had a customer want to return end table she bough 3 YEARS ago. She gave some lame story about them....the manager ended up letting her return them. I rolled my eyes at her. I told the manager that I did...so if she calls to complain....The District manager can talk to me if she is upset about that. I HATE customers like that!

A few errands for the day. Grabbing some groceries and making sides to go with chicken for tonight. May plan for tomorrow too, why not?

Yum!!!! I'm a chicken fan!!! I could eat chicken everyday. The rest of the family...not so much lol. Your dd's scrubs look great on her!

Well, I should run...it's almost home time. Hopefully it cools off enough for me to do a quick walk again tonight.
Take care Hommies!!! Have a great thirsty Thursday!

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Nope, Schumi, working and just got back from my lunchtime walk. Oh, dinner time here is around 5 and 6 pm. Guess I forgot our time difference, blame it on fact it was not yet lunchtime, and was starving. LoL

But now enjoying some leftover Chinese food for lunch. Yay! Hmm, not sure what for dinner tonight. Maybe pasta again. Think some red sauce is leftover, and thought I did see a pasta box in the pantry. Little one will most likely agree to that meal.

Well, routine for a few more hours, with some video training and a phone conference in there too.

Hey, I see a DisneyLife post. Hope all is well with you and family. If you happen to be around at end of September, give a holler. Would be nice to say hello again.

We are in 10-2 to 10-18, so not sure how long you are staying, might miss each other this year…….

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Another slow day at work today. On the plus side, we have hired a house painter. I'll have to post a picture of my living room so you will see why I am so happy. We also decided to replace the ceiling fan in the living room and the light in the foyer. DH and I went to a couple of places today to look at fans and lights. Now we just need quotes for the floor.

I did love Publix in Florida for quality items.......

I really miss Publix. We don't have them where I live now.

CL w/ ocean view for sure!

I thought it was a goofy thread with a lot of inside jokes...I didn't read it all tho. Is it only for long time DIS members?

It can be a goofy thread with occasional inside jokes, but all are welcome.

Someone when we had chosen the knives we wanted, the staff member made a comment of who needs that many knives and they were a ridiculous price to pay for knives.....I think the glare showed my disapproval.......then, escorted us to the pay point and left the knives behind the desk while we lined up to pay......then they let us go.

Wow, someone does not belong in customer service.

Our high temp for today will only go to 73. Looks to be cloudy all day, no sunglasses here today.

73 sounds lovely. It was in the 90's here today.

This will be DDs outfit 5 days a week for the next 4 years! Silly pose, but she said she's gonna be a cool dentist, lol!

She looks like she will be a fun dentist. Her patients will be more relaxed.

Tired of sleeping in a hot bedroom...but I will take all the warm weather are getting!

I can't sleep when it's hot. I have the ac on and a fan too.

Nothing on TV tonight so we are continuing our binge watch of The Muppet Show.

 

[macraven]

We are in 10-2 to 10-18, so not sure how long you are staying, might miss each other this year…….

You might be able to catch Lynne.
Think she has posted she leaves for home later on Oct 2

 

[Charade67]

Just watched an episode of The Muppet Show and in the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch there was a reference to Doctor Who.

 

[Lynne G]

We are in 10-2 to 10-18, so not sure how long you are staying, might miss each other this year…….

Aww, as leaving for home on the 2nd. Rats. But if you get in before around 5:30 pm, I’ll be at SF and going to the parks until I have to get back to the airport for a night flight. At least I better not have any changes to both my flights! Decided to come earlier this year.

 

[Lynne G]

That’s cool Charade. Just watched Loki. Interesting. Always try to find something interesting to watch at night. May see what food or other. Ooh sharks?

At least I can turn off my alarm. Well, unless DH wants to get up early. Oh well. I’m good at going back to sleep after alarm goes off and he noisily gets moving. Yay to a lazy Friday tomorrow. Well, nice to be able to do my errands and bill paying a day before the weekend.

And so, a quiet enough night is most appropriate. Relaxing DH and online playing little one. And dog and house sitting older one comes home late Saturday night. I think he’ll be happy to sleep in his own bed. But dog he is watching is a great dog. Sweet and loves to play tug a war. Almost makes me want another dog, but nope. Not quite ready.

 

[Charade67]

Tonight’s light is one of the ones Dh likes for the foyer.

Take care Hommies!!! Have a great thirsty Thursday!

3 years since she bought them!!! What a chancer. Yes, I detest rude customers probably more than someone being rude to me. At least I can answer back. No need for it whatsoever.

Hope you get some rain to get rid of that smoky smell in your area......but enjoy that warmth while we can........

Congrats on finding a decorator you`re happy with. They are worth their weight in gold. Our decorator is still trying to work his way the through the list of people to catch up on from our lockdowns.....I only have a couple of rooms I might want changing, but those can wait. He did the study, laundry and utility rooms just before the world went crazy.

Tom says he thinks he was jokiing about who needs that many knives, but still no need to say it. I didn`t buy 40 knives, there were 7 of them of varying sizes and types, which makes it all the more ridiculous.

Nice night light Charade......our astronomical darkness is up to around 2 hours a night now now, so won`t be long till we need it. Once it starts to get dark, it happens fairly quickly.





Going to be gorgeous today. Sun is already up high in the sky, so it`ll be breakfast, sunscreen and out walking early this morning. I think we may do a 7 mile walk as long as the foot doesn`t grumble too much.

Need to post my sister a moving to your new home card, bought it over a week ago and it`s been sitting there since, they move homes today so she`ll get it tomorrow hopefully. I love moving house!

BBQ food all day today, have a good selction of things to eat and plenty of sides to make up, think we`ll graze next few days in the sunshine.

Shout out to Keisha......Tink1957........Cam757 and Elsaspirit........


Lori....is it August DD starts in Dental School??? I know you`ll be moving her then, but forget if school starts around the same time?

Have a wonderful Friday ​

 

[schumigirl]

Yooohoooooo……..Lori……….as promised……….






The Dark Rum and Honu Pink Rum are both from Scotland and arrived a few weeks ago. The guys in Strong Water Bar were tickled when we took them Scottish Rum 2 years ago…..they had never heard of it…….so no doubt we’ll try these and see if they’re good enough, and if they are order some more to make the journey over to Strong Water whenever we do get back.

The Strawberry Daiquiri one is just a generic store bought one we picked up……comes highly recommended though from a rum drinking friend.

We’ve only ever put one bottle of rum down the drain, so long as it’s not as bad as that one it’ll be fine!

Will let you know……..




Glad we got out early this morning as it is boiling hot here today. Barely a breeze and no clouds in the sky. About as perfect as you get here.

Did our 7 miles and being out early, it was fine. It was hot, but sunscreen and water for such a walk are essentials.

Lazy afternoon in the garden ahead and bbq for dinner.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, around where I live bbq grilling is very common to smell in Sumner time. Since our grill is right outside our door, we use it year round.

Glad you are having a nice day Schumi. Nice long walk you had.

Ah yes weather. A repeat. Hazy hot and oh so humid. And that glorious wall to walk sunny day, no clouds to see, will make ya feel like it’s close to 100 degrees. Ooh warm I’d say.

And yay, DH and I both had a lazy start, as no alarm needed. Though we were both up around when that alarm would have gone off. So a very long, just hot enough shower, some tea, and said have a good day to little one when she left. And since then just the two of us, we went out to breakfast. Ah yes, sometimes I think I will be so happy to be lazy every day, but since that is some time away for me, do appreciate when I am off routine on a week day. And a woot! That first countdown is in the 20’s now.

And Paris, how nice is that. The store I bought that suntan lotion spray, called and said just bring them back for a refund. So that’s now on my list to fo today too.

Fabulous Friday homies.

Wow! You have light until almost 11pm? I'm so jealous, that's incredible!!
Sleeping in a hot room is no fun, I agree.

Yes, DD starts Dental School in August! She's getting very excited!
We will move her to her new apartment around August 15/16.
She will have a week+ to settle in, and then orientation will begin.

Some nice looking bottles!! The black label has a mysterious feel to it, and the turtle label is just too cute!!
I bet there are some yummy cocktails to be made, Cheers!!

Yay, around where I live bbq grilling is very common to smell in Sumner time. Since our grill is right outside our door, we use it year round.

And Paris, how nice is that. The store I bought that suntan lotion spray, called and said just bring them back for a refund. So that’s now on my list to fo today too.

Fabulous Friday homies.

On a different thread, a poster suggested to 'plug your nose' while applying the tainted sunscreen....and then it should be fine. Ummm, no thanks! Good to get the refund!







We are having a repeat of yesterday, with a high of 73. May see the sun this afternoon, however. That is always welcome!! So the dogs will get another walk today, and will snooze for hours upon return.

Initially had decided upon swedish meatballs for supper (the ones I bought at Ikea on our recent trip). But the afternoon/early evening looks to be so nice, I may swap that. Something on the grill is always a great choice! I'll head to the butcher later this morning to make a selection.

Kitty is extra needy for attention this morning. She continues to step all over my keyboard as I type! I guess it's time for a few snuggles!!!

Yes, I think bbq grilling is quite common in most places. In winter we don’t use it daily as I have an indoor searing grill that cooks steaks and so on, but we do enjoy a winter bbq around Bonfire night, minus the fireworks.

I can thoroughly recommend a lazy day in the sunshine……retirement is the best!


Lori, just seen you post. Yes, coriander is your cilantro…….we both detest it and it tastes like soap to us. Coriander seeds are slightly different and pounded down used in curries and Middle Eastern dishes tastes different and we like them.

Just made us up an early strawberry daiquiri rum with lemonade and it is delicious, quite sweet but a good squeeze of fresh lemon in the fizzy lemonade balances it a little. It’s five o’ clock somewhere……. I don’t really like the store we bought it in, it’s the British equivalent of Walmart, but I’ll go back for this rum

We do like those Swedish meatballs, but as we don‘t go to IKEA often, it’s been a while since we had them. Yes, go for the grill option, it’s hard to beat. Think we have some steaks, chicken kebabs and pork and maple kebabs tonight……and Tom picked up a venison steak. I’m not overly fond of a lot of venison, I can take a little, so will eat a little off of his plate……if he lets me…….

And then you’re off tomorrow…….sounds about perfect.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. Well, it's almost noon here. Just got finished paying some bills. The rest of the day will be house cleaning and looking for fans and lights for the house. We've been to both of the big box home improvement stores, so today we will look at a local place.

Saw the weirdest thing while driving around yesterday. A young woman had the following on the back window of her car: "Last fling before the ring. Buy the bride a drink." And there was a Venmo address where people could send money. Is this a new thing? Asking for strangers to buy you drinks?

Just watched Loki.

I am so glad there is going to be a second season.

Congrats on finding a decorator you`re happy with. They are worth their weight in gold.

Thanks. Now we are just waiting to hear back from the flooring people.

Nice night light Charade.

Thanks. Dh wants something that looks like something out of an old movie where you see the swordsman swinging from the light fixture.

Do you have paint colors chosen yet? That's always the toughest part for me...

We are just gong with basic gray tones. Right now the house is beige.

Guess I should get ready, get some lunch, and try to do something productive today.

 

[Charade67]

Quiet day today.
We purchased a ceiling fan and a foyer light. They should be installed on Thursday. Now we are just waiting to confirm with the paint and floor people.

 

[Lynne G]

Awesome you found the fan and light you liked Charade. Sounds like updates coming soon for the house.

Dog sitter are us, as older one has to work. Dog ate well, so now chilling and will take him out later, then older one will take over for the rest of the night. We will be helping again tomorrow.

Thinking burgers on the grill. Picked some up from the butcher shop in the grocery store. They are large, so will only put two on for the two of us left tonight. And oddly, little one came home with a large banana? Minions I guess as I don’t think she eats them very often.

Ah, a very warm Friday night, with phone flashing flood warnings to expire in a day. Yeah, dinner time news weather guy said, better chance of rocking and rolling thunderstorms on Sunday, not Saturday.

And got all my errands done, so a very lazy weekend is in store. How nice is that?

Grey is very popular right now. I like to think I chose greys before they became en vogue........we have several rooms in grey tones, utility, laundry, downstairs bathroom, Kyle`s rooms and one guest bedroom. They are warm despite the grey tones, I think you`ll like your choice.



After 1am for me now......time for bed. Ended up with friends come around for a chat.....didnt realise the time pass so quickly. They have to get up with their dogs in the morning though......we can sleep late if we choose.......

Bacon in the morning for us...........mac...you`ll smell it when it`s cooking.......

Hope you all have a lovely Friday evening.........

 

[macraven]

Bacon ....

I’ll be there!!

 

[Lynne G]

Bacon? Yum! Hope breakfast was good Schumi.

Good Morning homies.

Gloriously sunny start and still oh so bright out. And a very sunny morning we are having, then the clouds come in the afternoon, and since it’s already 80 degrees out, another over 90 degree day, and oh so muggy out already. Heat Advisory issued again. But get your tickets, as thunderstorms chances from late afternoon until the late night, and even the wee hours of tomorrow. In fact, scattered thunderstorms, as said by weather guy. Phone says I have a 30 percent chance of rain. Good odds? Ah, my other weather app will tell me when rain is coming. So my odds are covered. LoL

Tea and quiet house. Remote and not much on. Oh well. Put a load of laundry on, so will have fresh towels from the dryer soon. And have to make the bed with washed sheets too. I so enjoy the weekends later starts. Well, less than a month, and the month after, a not much after crack of dawn flights. Woot!
