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

Pumpkin
I take it you don’t make snow angels in your yard!

Do you usually get your first snow fall in November each year?
you have a long winter season ….

I never was fond of snow but took us forever to move away from a cold weather place that had 4 months of it

Quick hello while I am on lunch break. I was able to get the shirt size for the senior woman, so I will be going back to the mall after work to get her a World Series t-shirt.

Mac & Lynne - Y’all need to come here. I think most of our fast food places are fully open now.

that is awesome about gifting for seniors!!! I have heard of programs here that put senior wishes on xmas trees ( in certain stores) with the same idea. I have tried to get a card to do that...but when I went to get one...they were all gone already. Which is great!!! One day I will get to support a senior that way.

I found the cards for my seniors on a tree at Olive Garden. This is my first time buying for seniors. I usually shop for children. I also once bought for an animal at the Humane Society.

Gotta get back to work. I’m working on a spreadsheet for my Boss. We recently discovered that one of the insurance companies has been underpaying her. I’m trying to get all the claims organized to find out how much she is owed.

 

[macraven]

They didn’t give you those clip on sunglasses, Mac? LoL That’s why I try to bring a kid with me, so don’t have to drive.

Clip on?
Nope, never had it offered when living in the north (obviously it wasn’t offered here in the south with the doc I use )
Always sat in the waiting until vision was clearer before I drove home

Yeah, I don’t wear a hat most of the time, but when cold enough, yeah. Ended up not taking it today. Ack to more snow for you. Poor camel better be wearing a winter jacket if he’s visiting you.

Tee hee....I recently bought what you americans call " a beenie" I think...it's a toque here. Very cute with the fuzzy pom pom on top. I asked my boys if I would look as cute wearing them as the girls on the box...they said " of course Mom " lol. I giggled as I know I don't look cute wearing hats of any sort, but I need something for when it's cold and I'm outside for longer than 10 minutes.

We consider it lucky if we don't get snow until November lol. If the kids get to go out trick or treating without snow in our area ( and many other areas ) they are lucky. Some parts of Canada ( BC along the coast , Ontario and the east coast ) don't get snow until closer to Christmas. But here in the prairies...we get blasted early, and it stays until March/April. It's not uncommon to get one last blast / snowstorm in late April just to make us not forget how lovely Mother Nature can be.

Gotta get back to work. I’m working on a spreadsheet for my Boss. We recently discovered that one of the insurance companies has been underpaying her. I’m trying to get all the claims organized to find out how much she is owed.

Yikes....That doesn't sound like fun. I hope you get the sorted sooner rather than later.

Well...it's almost lunch time. Have a great afternoon

 

[Charade67]

Yikes....That doesn't sound like fun. I hope you get the sorted sooner rather than later.

This is going to sound really weird, but I actually like it. If the insurance company is going to pay her retroactively back to the day she signed the contract she should be getting over $4100.

I’m other news - I am so happy that I finally have a place to display my angels. B says we need a red haired one.

 

[macraven]

Awesome mantle!

 

[Lynne G]

So cute to now have a mantle, Charade. Nice amount of money to be returned, good for you to help her find the under payments.

Pumpkin, we just call those hats, pom pom ones. I bought unisex what we call skull caps. They tend to be of all synthetic material, and the two pack I bought had wool with some synthetic. Cute to me, one light gray and one dark gray.

Last steak left to cook was cooked for a repeat steak meal. Last night,we made it with. peppers and carrots with rice and grilled steak in a teriyaki sauce. Tonight, made beef tacos with lettuce, tomatoes and peppers. Cheese for those that wanted it. So a taco dinner after all this Taco Tuesday, but not from Taco Bell.

Full feeling and sipping tea, as kids will be playing with their friends online gaming, until probably well after I go to bed. Older one has a day off tomorrow, and little one’s final is not until later in the day. To be young. I rarely stay up late, and not usually on a week day night, given my early up and ready.

And so, not sure if Charade has any more of those gorgeous shots from her light show, so another one from our zoo light show:



And so, no toe stubbing and enjoy the colors of the evening sky. And have a good night’s sleep. (Hehe, already have my pajamas on)

 

[Charade67]

Awesome mantle!

Thank you!

So cute to now have a mantle, Charade. Nice amount of money to be returned, good for you to help her find the under payments.

Thank you. I hope I can get all the money for her.

And so, not sure if Charade has any more of those gorgeous shots from her light show, so another one from our zoo light show:

Cool light! I have more pictures, but will resume posting tomorrow.

I just finished paying bills. Now I'm going to go stare at the TV for awhile.

Why hello camel and friends. I see you’re on the way to Pumpkin’s house, with that snow on the ground. And see homies, it’s that yay kind of day, the mid week Wednesday, that gives us hope the week goes quickly. Yep, a day to get over the hump for getting to say, hurray, Friday in two more days.

And would you look at that:

Hehe, yeah for many of us homies, the calendar turning to be in the month of December, means more chances for snow. I’m hoping we are more like those other homies that ever so very rarely see snow.

Our weather has been a tease. As the day ends, the sky clears, and the temps drop quickly. We are two degrees above freezing, and at least the clear skies stay for the sunrise. Then promptly, those annoying clouds arrive, to make it another overcast day. But I will say, at least the rain we are expected to hear and see, will be when all are sound as sleeping, as said from around 10 pm until around 2 am. Well, maybe not all in my home will be asleep then. Half of us surely will be readying for bed when the rain is expected to start.

Gotta get back to my week day routine. Like Metro, I start early, up early. But yay for me, and a quiet house. Well, not so quiet, DH is also up.

Therefore, off I go to find a quick breakfast. Thinking oatmeal today. Hope this finds all the homies going to be having a wonderful Wednesday.

Good Morning homies.

Lynne wins the morning race of peepers open before any of us
Yaa

I did not wake up until 6
Cats were hungry and Mr Mac was playing possum
Cats ate and then climbed into my bed to snooze

A very good morning to all, except to cats..

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, Mac, those cats trained you well. Glad at least the cats were then quiet. Do you still drink coffee? Hope you are feeling well this morning. And hey, at least another homie to say good morning to.

 

[macraven]

I wish I could drink coffee… have not had it almost 3 years now

Cats ate early and then back in my bed for a nap

it is like raising a toddler
Always busy cats … they eat and sleep
and get whiny certain times of the day

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all, weather finally going to bounce into 70 degree range here. No complaints, my kids report snow every day. Ground still warm enough to melt it would be grand if that happened all winter

Abbreviated CP at Epcot was inspiring.Surprised to see it only half full. Chita Rivera did a great job but doesn’t pack them in ala Neil Patrick Harris, John stamos & Whoopi

Finally, got the mr to agree to try Biergarten. Not exactly our choice of grub but, interesting to switch it up. Copious beverages To wash it all down helped the cause


cheese soup & pretzel roll along with a few salads my fav. Interesting take on cheesecake

Moved over to WL yesterday. I do love the pull down beds under tv in the studios…various cute designs & they make the best luggage rack lol


taking our first resort only day ever today. Epcot stretched to 13 hours with the evening EMH MK was slammed yesterday too. The normally slow week after Thanksgiving is a thing of the past

Oldest ds is now the proud owner of his first vehicle

That’s great! Who doesn’t fondly remember their first ride?

What finally prompted me, was not only the way too quick loss of battery time,

Seems like my 11, barely 2 years old is draining rather quickly. Not using WiFi here. I’ve been deleting stuff & shutting down most apps. Thinking might be relatively weak signal of 2 bars maybe?

Taco day …. all day long

they still are only doing drive thru service but was told it is a slight possibility they might reopen inside dining late January

Need to remember to send u a good recipe I make for taco meat. Blows Taco Bell out of the water

Clip on?
Nope, never had it offered when living in the north (obviously it wasn’t offered here in the south with the doc I use )
Always sat in the waiting until vision was clearer before I drove home

They took to using these roll up types here you are supposed to open & place on glasses. Useless. I just put large sunnies over glasses lol

Very cute with the fuzzy pom pom on top.

A fuzzy Pom Pom makes everything better

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Quick early morning stop in!

I am needing to hold off on shuffling the papers until our Manager comes in and adds a few more to today's batch - so paper shuffling is currently on hold. Gotta love month end!

No snow...but we did receive about an inch of rain lol. Side streets are skating rinks...I could literally toss on a pair of skates and skate down our street. Main roads in the city are good. Outside the city - highways are a mess. Hopefully by Friday when we go to the city to see the kiddos they will be better.

Not much on the agenda today.

Last steak left to cook was cooked for a repeat steak meal. Last night,we made it with. peppers and carrots with rice and grilled steak in a teriyaki sauce. Tonight, made beef tacos with lettuce, tomatoes and peppers. Cheese for those that wanted it. So a taco dinner after all this Taco Tuesday, but not from Taco Bell.

Yum!!!! Glad to know if I said toque - everyone would know what I was talking about...I still won't look cute in it though @schumigirl looks sooo stinking cute in her pictures wearing one...I DEFINITELY don't look as cute as she does.

I wish I could drink coffee… have not had it almost 3 years now

When I drink coffee...it's is usually half coffee half bailey's It's the only way I like it lol

A fuzzy Pom Pom makes everything better

Yup it does!!! I hate wearing the silly things...must be the hairdresser in me. It messes up my hair

Well, I should see if I can find something to keep me busy this morning, until the paper shuffling starts. My tea is almost gone now.

Have a great day everyone...stay safe!

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Keisha looking great having a relaxing resort day, and Pumpkin getting rained on, shuffling papers. Oh and yes our pom pom hats are very similar to your toque, but most I’ve seen have no wool in them, I’m sure you’ll look great in your hat.

Keisha if you’d find yourself at Trader Sam’s, if they happen to have that nutcracker mug, I’d be ever so grateful to pay for one of them, as think only offered this coming weekend.

Yay as my lunchtime walk did have a jacket on, and ! sunglasses! Yay sunny out right now. But not as warm as want, but I’ll take it. Sunny, that is. And there must have been something happening, as rounded the corner, to hear and see police cars with sirens wailing, right in front of two fire trucks with their horns and sirens sounding. Past me and not past our street, so happy about that.

Kids are now up, and so lunch for me. Little one is a soup eater, so soup, chicken noodle from her, and a grilled cheese made by older one. Yum!

Sleigh bell ring… aww lots of Christmas songs now being heard. Including, good ones for this week, from Adam Sandler. If you haven’t heard any of his number of Hanukkah songs, take a listen. A laugh or smile may be the result if you listen to one.

 

[Sue M]

Charade more beautiful pics! So nice of you to be Santa for a couple of seniors!
Im waffling about keeping my XS Max too for another year. But the allure of the 13 Pro max is strong lol. For the camera. I’d pass my XS to dd. Currently she has my 7 plus

Lynne did you go to the 13 pro max? Or 13 pro? I love that blue! i don’t know if I’d miss the larger screen size if I didn’t go with the Max.

Pumpkin congrats to your son!

Keisha my cyber Monday shopping was buying a new bra from online shop, Third Love. Lol.

Mac enjoyed Taco Tues! Love your temps. It’s been in 40s-low 50 here. And so much rain. Too much rain.
Glad you made it home from eye exam. Scary.

Pumpkin your boys know how to answer! Good practice for them lol. No snow here. I shutter to think how many CM of snow we’d have if all this rain we’ve been getting was snow. Still haven’t put the snow tires on yet. Must make my appt!

Charade love the mantle! I think you should get a bonus for finding that money!

Lynne those camels look cold!

Mac our cat used to go into DD’s room to wake her up to get fed! Ha! Did that right!

Keisha one day I’ll get to see the CP! Love the pretzel bread. And the entertainment is fun.
Love WL. Are you on the DVC side? We ended up eatting a few meals at the grill by the lake. Love the burgers.

Hairdresser for me today! Colour and trim. Then I think I’ll bring up the Christmas tree, and get it assembled. It takes awhile to fluff up the branches anyway. My youngest said I can’t decorate without her! But she can’t get over here until Monday!
Will send DH outside tomorrow to put up lights, finally a dry day.

 

[Lynne G]

Sue, I looked at the Max, as thought I’d rather have the larger screen, but ended up with just the 13 Pro. I’m fine with the just Pro size as was basically the same size as my 7 plus, that I was so used to. Can’t go wrong with either model, but if you do upgrade, nice hand me down phone to daughter. Mine has the XSs or whatever that was 2 years ago. She loves it. But yeah, compared to my old phone’s little looking camera to this one’s, oh so much bigger and think will take much clearer pictures.

 

[keishashadow]

 

[Lynne G]

Aww quite the fetching couple! Yay for meet up of Keisha and Schumi, with their DH’s. Yay! Beautiful setting too.

 

[Charade67]

Quick post before going to bed.
Drumroll please………………….
The flooring back order has been cleared. I am scheduled for installation on December 13-15. It should be completed before my birthday.

Hehe, yeah for many of us homies, the calendar turning to be in the month of December, means more chances for snow. I’m hoping we are more like those other homies that ever so very rarely see snow

We occasionally get snow in December, but not much. It’s supposed to be the the 60s this weekend.

I did not wake up until 6
Cats were hungry and Mr Mac was playing possum
Cats ate and then climbed into my bed to snooze

My cat thinks he is a Hobbit. He wants to be fed around 4:30-5:00 and then starts demanding second breakfast a couple of hours later.

Glad to know if I said toque - everyone would know what I was talking about.

I don’t think I have ever heard that word before you mentioned it. When I was a kid we walked them toboggans. I thinks that’s one of those weird southern things.

Charade love the mantle! I think you should get a bonus for finding that money!

I’m hoping that if she gets all that is owed to her I can use it as a bargaining chip when I ask for a raise next year.

Keisha & Schumi - nice picture in front of the tree.




And more lanterns.
